Ward Churchill series, day three

It's raining tonight in Denver, and possibly north of there at Colorado University in Boulder, academic home, for now, of Ward Churchill. (I'm watching the White Sox-Rockies game, which is why I know about weather conditions in Denver.)

Maybe the sky is shedding tears over the Ward Churchill controversy. Tears of joy.

In today's installment, Ward seems to have mischaracterized the meaning of two obscure federal laws involving Native American issues.

From today's Rocky Mountain News:

Did Ward Churchill portray two federal Indian laws incorrectly? Our findings: His claims about daisy (1887), Indian Arts (1990) acts are wrong.

More tomorrow, the Rocky Mountain News has save the best for last. They'll be debunking Churchill's claims that he has Native American ancestry.
