This review is from: From a Native Son: Selected Essays on Indigenism, 1985-1995 (Paperback)
I wasn't too thrilled with the book. Maybe it's just me but the way it's written made it hard for me to pay attention and understand what was going on.

Ward is NOT Native!,
This review is from: From a Native Son: Selected Essays on Indigenism, 1985-1995 (Paperback)
Do not read this book. Ward Churchill is a wannabe Native. He is not Native American, he's not an enrolled member of the Cherokee, the tribe he claims to be from has denounced him and stated he is NOT an enrolled member and does not have Native American blood. Ward is also not a member of the American Indian Movement (AIM). AIM has denounced him as well and has mentioned his falsehood on their grand governing councel website, http://www.aimovement.org.

This review is from: From a Native Son: Selected Essays on Indigenism, 1985-1995 (Paperback)
Here is a book that everyone, Indian or non-Indian, should read by tomorrow at the very latest. Ward Churchill is an extraordinarily gifted Indian (a term he prefers over "Native American" or "Aboriginal") activist whose prose cuts like a curve-bladed scalpal. Churchill doesn't want to memorialize what American society likes to think of as ancient (and therefore, best forgotten) wrongs; he wants to talk about how white society destroyed and keeps on destroying the Original People of the New World. And he isn't going to do it with quaint tales and stories. He wants you to understand that his people are dying. Right now. This very second.This book, a collection of essays collected over the years, isn't full of the latest spiritual word from Indian Country; don't read this if you want to learn how to construct a sweat lodge "like the real Indians did." Read this book in order to learn how to be a member of the Wannabe Tribe and you will experience deep spiritual anguish as Churchill's words tear you a new exhust pipe. He doesn't care about your spiritual development; he wants you to understand that genocide is being committed even as you read these words. Get this book. It will hurt a lot to read it, but its better than shutting your eyes to over five centuries of genocide.
