WARD CHURCHILL Speaking at New College

New College Theater, 777 Valencia Street (near 16th St BART), San Francisco

Labeled "controversial" by pundits and politicians alike, Ward Churchill is the author of many books including "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality" -- a work that provoked a firestorm of media reacion -- and "Since Predator Came: Notes from the Struggle for American Indian Liberation."

"Although the resources endowing American Indian treaty territories have always been sufficient to make native people by far the wealthiest sector of the North American population, they have instead existed for generations as the very poorest." -- Ward Churchill, from "Since Predator Came"

"Compellingly original, with the powerful eloquence and breadth of knowledge we have come to expect from Churchill's writing." -- Howard Zinn, commenting on "Since Predator Came"

Ward Churchill is Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado/Boulder. A long-time AIM (American Indian Movement) activist, he is a past national spokesperson for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. A prolific writer and lecturer, he has written more than 20 books and hundreds of essays.

Because of this, he owes every American Indian an apology.

''Likewise it is sad that he would perpetrate this apparent hoax on Hamilton College, an institution founded to help educate Indian students.'' (Hamilton was founded by Samuel Kirkland, 18th century missionary to the Oneidas, and the famous Oneida Chief Schenandoah is buried on its grounds. The Oneida Nation owns Four Directions Media, publisher of Indian Country Today.) .....
