Ward Churchill battle in Seattle

Ward Churchill will be speaking at Shoreline Community College in Seattle in the school's gym at 7:30 pm on November 8.

Says Shoreline Community College, in information likely taken from Ward's press kit...

Ward Churchill (Keetoowah Band Cherokee) is one of the most outspoken of Native American activists and scholars in North America and a leading analyst of indigenous issues. He is a Professor of Ethnic Studies and Coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado. Churchill serves as Associate Director of the Center for Studies of Ethnicity and Race in America at the institution. He is also co-director of the Colorado chapter of the American Indian Movement and vice chair of the American Indian Anti-Defamation Council.

From an anonymous tipster....

His appearance fee will be paid for by student activity fees.

A protest can be arranged in front of the gym, according to the Director of Student Programs there, says my tipster. Information on contacting him is here. Please by nice, as the individual there I spoke with was quite friendly to me when I called to confirm this information. He didn't hide from me, as did Dr. Harvette Grey of DePaul's Cultural Center.
