1947Ward Churchill, American author and activist[†]
Ward LeRoy Churchill is an American activist, author, and former academic. He was a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado Boulder from 1990 until 2007. Much of Churchill's work focuses on the historical treatment of political dissenters and Native Americans by the United States government, and he expresses controversial views in a direct, often confrontational and abrasive style. While Churchill has claimed Native American ancestry, genealogical research has failed to unearth such ancestry, and he is not a recognized member of any tribe.
