#1 As soon as I heard the first reports of this "tough guy" in the context of the Hamilton college lecture, I just knew in my bones he would turn out to be a fraud.

My BS meter has been tuned superfine since 9/11.

I am sure that real Native Americans have a word for such wannabe poseurs (and I fully expect to learn it here on RB...)

#2 Why not let the Native Americans take care of "Chief Speaks with Forked Tounge" in the manner of their acentors. Not sure what the punishment was for lying, but it can't be bad enough.

Clinton/Boxer 2008!

#3 the name I prefer is Kenis

I'm fairly certain that's a typo.

#4 perhaps they can make "Chief Speaks with Forked Tounge" a literal description of Mr Churchhill......

#5 Tenure is not protection against Treason during time of war.

Of couse if any 'professor' had used similar language to describe the four little school girls killed in the Birmingham bombing in racially colored language you'd be sure the faculty senate would have run the man out of town on a rail.

#6 When her article (questioning his Indian heritage) came out , she said, he dropped her grade from an A to a C minus.
Damn, I thought that Churchill was such a strong advocate of free speech. My mistake. HIS right to speak apparently does not extend to OTHERS.

#7 As a Native American I'm sort of a washout - no elders around to teach me diddley-squat.

I did, however, spend a night or three in jail back in my misspent youth, and there was a ponytail-wearing, chanting, cussing Native American down the hall in the drunk tank, one night. All night long he cried (phonetically):
"koo-tah-haaay!"

All goddamned night long. You can say it is seared, seared I say, into my brain.

I have no doubt it is a colorful epithet, but I would most assuredly appreciate anyone who can translate it into AmerEnglish.

This happened in Utah, so he could have been Ute or Souix or or Flathead or from any of a half-dozen other tribes.

Thanks, in advance, if anyone can help - it's been bugging me for, oh, 35+ years, heh.

#10 If Ward Churchill's any relation to Winston, we're all in trouble.

#11 the way he lies and poses, Ward Churchill's probably not his name

#12 .com, are you sure the chief was not a Somali?
Koo tahay or koo-ban tahay is definitely a somali expression. I know that it is somali, I am sure. By some coincidence it is connected to either alcohol or a substance abuse in general. I can't say no more. (cuz I know a fuque what that means)

#14 Lol - He wasn't Somali, heh. This was about 1968 or 67 cuz I was just a punk puppy. Prolly a coincidence since only 3 syllables... but thanks!

#15 BTW, I found out when they released me that my cellmate was in for Murder One. He was a bar owner who blew his wife's head off - and then a customer's head off - double barreled 10 GA - one barrel each. She flirted and flaunted it in his face - for the last time. Nice guy. We played cards cuz we couldn't sleep with Chief Cutahay down the hall, heh.
