Ward Churchill Admits He Is Not An Indian...I Think?

Popular Honolulu radio hosts, Perry & Price (KSSK), aired some interesting information about Ward Churchill on their morning commute show. According to them, two local reporter/journalists cornered Churchill following his "lecture" last night at the University of Hawaii. After dodging repeated questions about his status as a Native American he finally responded to a question asking "Are you a Native American?" by saying, "No." Unfortunately I have not yet found any outside source to confirm this report but will keep probing. This unconfirmed admission was not reported in either Honolulu paper this morning nor is it posted on any of the TV News.

Somehow, this anecdote sounds a little suspicious to me, but here in Hawaii, if Perry and Price say it's true then it must be true! In the meantime I am holding my breath.

In a related matter, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin printed a blunt and straightforward editorial roundly criticizing those who invited him to speak in Hawaii. The editorial, which is entitled, "Churchill Invitation Is Embarrassment for University," can be found here.
