Ward Churchill (Keetoowah Band Cherokee) is one of the most outspoken

at the University of Colorado. Churchill served as Associate Director
of the Center for Studies of Ethnicity and Race in America at the
institution. He is also co-director of the Colorado chapter of the
American Indian Movement and vice chair of the American Indian
Anti-Defamation Council.
Churchill's many books include Pacifism as Pathology, Marxism and

On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, From A Native Son, Critical
Issues in Native North America, The COINTELPRO Papers, Indians R Us?,
Agents of Repression, Since Predator Came, and A Little Matter of
Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas.
In his lectures and numerous published works, Churchill explores the
themes of genocide in the Americas, racism, historical and legal

destruction of Indian lands, government repression of political
movements, literary and cinematic criticism, and indigenist
