Ward Churchill, not an Indian

The Chicago White Sox ended up winning that game (see previous post) last night over the Colorado Rockies, punishing them 15-5 in Denver.

More punishment is coming out of Denver, as today is the final day of the Rocky Mountain News series on Ward Churchill.

To get his professorship at Colorado University, Churchill parlayed his masters' degree from Springfield, Illiniois' Sangamon State University, by claiming he was had was part Native American.

Writes the Rocky Mountain News:

However, an extensive genealogical search by the Rocky Mountain News identified 142 direct forebears of Churchill and turned up no evidence of a single Indian ancestor among them.

Ward's a liar.
