Churchill blasts UKB statement on membership
Thursday, May 19, 2005
Controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill blasted the United Keetoowah Band on Wednesday for making "documentably false" statements about his disputed membership in the Oklahoma tribe.
Churchill issued a statement [
Text] in response to the UKB statement [
UKB website. He said the tribe has a right to disenroll him, which he claims they have not done.
But he added, "What it does not have a right to do is falsify history at its own convenience." He said the tribe's enrollment committee twice verified his Cherokee heritage.
Tribal officials now say they will terminate Churchill's "associate" membership. "We're kind of ashamed of him," spokeswoman Marilyn Craig told The Denver Post. "We are saying that associate memberships mean nothing," she told The Denver Rocky Mountain News.
