Ward Churchill Education

Churchill is a highly educated and qualified person. In 1966, he was drafted into the United States Army. On his 1980 resume, he said he served as a public-information specialist who “wrote and edited the battalion newsletter and wrote news releases.”

In a 1987 profile on Churchill, the Denver Post reported that he was drafted, went to paratrooper school, then volunteered for Vietnam, where he served a 10-month tour as Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol, six-man teams sent out to track down the enemy.

The Post article also reported that he was politically radicalized as a result of his experiences in Vietnam. He told the Post that he had spent some time at the Chicago office of the Students for a Democratic Society in the late 1960s, and briefly taught members of the Weather Underground how to build bombs and fire weapons.

In 2005, the Denver Post reported that Churchill’s military records show he was trained as a film projectionist and light truck driver, but they do not reflect paratrooper school or LRRP training. The 75th Ranger Regiment Association found no record of Churchill has been a member of the unit, or an LRRP team.

Churchill received his B.A. in technological communications in 1974 and M.A. in communications theory in 1975, both from Sangamon State University, now the University of Illinois at Springfield.

Ward Churchill Spouse/Wife

Churchill is happily married to his beautiful wife Natsu Saito Churchill. He was previously married to Marie Annette Jaimes Churchill from (1987 to 1995). He later married Leah Kelly Churchill(died: 31 May 2000). Ward Churchill’s wife wept on the witness stand as she recounted the University of Colorado’s claims against her husband’s academic work on American Indian history.

“He calls out the big lies in history, not these ridiculous picky things we’re arguing about here,” Natsu Taylor Saito said, the latter a reference to the accusation her husband disrespected victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which he thinks was behind his ouster in 2007. “The most harmful thing to Ward, and to me, is that it was an attempt to silence that history.”

Saito said Churchill was no cheerleader for terrorists.

Her husband sought to point out the attacks were not senseless and yielded lessons, she said. “If we want to stop violence from happening, we have to understand that it’s not OK for violence to be perpetrated by anyone, including our own government,” Saito said. Churchill is suing the university to get his job back. His attorneys rested their case Wednesday after 11 days, and CU began its defense Wednesday.

Todd Gleeson, dean of CU’s College of Arts and Sciences, said the investigators examined whether Churchill’s Sept. 11 essay or other writings crossed over from free speech to hate speech. Instead, the university found Churchill had plagiarized and falsified research in his work on American Indians.

Six of the nine members of the committee wanted Churchill fired instead of suspended.

CU professor Joe Rosse, who led CU’s Standing Committee on Research Misconduct, said Churchill’s lack of remorse over the findings that he plagiarized and falsified information was critical to some members. “If you are not going to acknowledge the error, why would you expect to change behavior in the future?” Rosse said.

Ward Churchill Native American

Churchill has been active since at least 1984 as the co-director of the Denver-based American Indian Movement of Colorado, now an autonomous chapter of the American Indian Movement.

In 1993, he and other local AIM leaders, including Russell Means, Glenn T. Morris, Robert Robideau, and David Hill, broke with the national AIM leadership, including Dennis Banks and the brothers Vernon and Clyde Bellecourt, claiming that all AIM chapters are autonomous.

The AIM Grand Governing Council is based in Minneapolis and retains the name of the national group. It says that the schism arose when Means, Churchill, Glenn T. Morris, and others openly supported the Miskito Indian group Misurasata, who were allied with the anti-revolutionary, CIA-backed Contras.

Journalists such as Harlan McKosato attributed the split to Means and other AIM members dividing over opposition to the Bellecourt brothers because of their alleged involvement in the execution of Anna Mae Aquash in December 1975, who was then the highest-ranking woman in AIM but had been suspected of being an informant. It was a year in which other FBI informants had been discovered in AIM.

On November 3, 1999, Means held a press conference in Denver, Colorado in which he accused the Bellecourt brothers of complicity in Aquash’s death, and named three lower-level AIM members involved in her death: Arlo Looking Cloud, John Graham, and Theda Nelson Clarke. This was the first time that an AIM leader active at the time of the Aquash murder had publicly accused AIM of having been involved.

Looking Cloud and Graham were convicted of murder in 2004 and 2010, by federal and South Dakota state juries, respectively. By then Clark was being cared for in a nursing home and was not indicted. Means attributed the split in AIM to divisions in the aftermath of Aquash’s murder. The journalist Harlan McKosato said in 1999, “…her [Aquash’s] death has divided the American Indian Movement…”

The schism continued, with the national AIM leadership claiming that the local AIM leaders, such as Churchill, are tools of the U.S. government used against other American Indians. The leaders of the national AIM organization, now called AIM Grand Governing Council, claim that Churchill has worked in the past as an underground counter-intelligence source for the U.S. government, for example, the FBI, and local, non-Indian, police forces, to subvert the national AIM organization.

Specifically, they refer to a 1993 Boulder, Colorado interview with Jodi Rave, a former columnist for the Denver Post, in which Churchill stated that he “was teaching the Rapid City Police Department about the American Indian Movement.”In addition, Vernon Bellecourt accused Churchill of having ‘fraudulently represented himself as an Indian’ to bolster his credentials. Bellecourt said he complained to the University of Colorado about this as early as 1986.

Churchill has been a leader of Colorado AIM’s annual protests in Denver against the Columbus Day holiday and its associated parade. Colorado AIM’s leadership has come into conflict with some leaders in the Denver Italian American community, the main supporters of the parade.

As early as 2004, Churchill had described such parades as unconstitutional, arguing that the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution provides Native Americans with a right not to be subjected to such displays, overriding the First Amendment rights of non-Native Americans.

Ward Churchill On The Justice Of Roosting Chickens

On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality is a 2003 book written by Ward Churchill and published by AK Press. The “Roosting Chickens” of the title comes from a 1963 Malcolm X speech about the John F. Kennedy assassination, which the rights activist called “merely a case of ‘chickens coming home to roost.'”

Churchill used the term “Roosting Chickens” in a short essay, “‘Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens”, first published on September 12, 2001. In that article, Churchill claimed that the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States were “acts of war” by the “Islamic East” in defense against the “crusades” waged by the “Christian West” “e.g., Arab–Israeli conflict and The First Gulf War” throughout the late 20th century.
