KFAI's Indian Uprising for February
27th
The Termination and Removal of Ward Churchill by Scott Richard Lyons for Indian Country Today, February 17, 2005. Lyons, a Leech Lake Ojibwe, is an assistant professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University, where he also teaches Native American Studies. "Frankly, I was always more interested in what Ward Churchill had to say than in playing the tiresome ''Is he really Indian?'' game. In fact, what I have found most frustrating about this witch hunt is the sense that hardly anyone has actually read his now infamous essay, ''Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens.'' Instead of musing about what Churchill allegedly is not - ''un-American,'' ''non-Indian'' - shouldn't we be talking about what he actually wrote?" http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096410377 Federal Prisons Increase Restrictions by Brenda Norrell of Indian Country Today, December 31, 2004, ''The indifference towards our Native men, women and juveniles who are incarcerated must stop and an effort must be made to provide outreach support because they are coming home someday. Our people are not expendable,'' said Lenny Foster, Navajo spiritual advisor to Indian inmates for 24 years. ''The trend within the past several years throughout the United States prison system has been to restrict the traditional spiritual practices of the Native prisoners.'' www.IndianCountry.com
