They told this bitch to paint with all the colors of the wind, and she froze up like Mitch McConnell.

That’s when they knew they’d nabbed her.

The Post Millennial:

A professor at the University of California, Riverside has resigned after falsely claiming to have Native American heritage.

Andrea Smith, an ethnic studies “expert,” agreed to resign after 13 colleagues ousted her for lying about her Native American roots, in which Smith claimed to be a member of the Cherokee Nation, according to The Times.

Allegations that Smith had been lying about her ancestry first surfaced in 2008, when she was denied tenure by the University of Michigan, which activists said was “discriminatory” at the time. However, an indigenous academic uncovered that Smith was not registered as a member of the Cherokee Nation.

Despite not being Native American, Smith, who has been compared to notorious heritage fraudster Rachel Dolezal, says that she is a victim of “violent identity policing” and maintains that she is Cherokee.

“I have always been, and will always be Cherokee,” Smith said, according to the outlet. “I have consistently identified myself based on what I knew to be true.”

In 1991, Smith had written an essay that accused white women of wanting to “become Indian” so they could “escape responsibility and accountability for white racism.”

Angela Davis, an Indigenous activist, once described Smith as “one of the greatest Indigenous feminist intellectuals of our time.”

Smith was hired by the University of California, Riverside in late 2008. The university announced that Smith will resign from her post next August. Smith will not be subjected to an investigation and will be able to keep retirement benefits, as well as her professor emeritus status, according to the university.

I guess we could do whichever bit here.

You want the one about how it doesn’t make sense that you can change your sex but not your race, since the difference between races is very minor when compared to the difference between sexes?

Or do you want the one about how we hear all this talk about “white privilege,” and yet people are constantly faking being other races… to gain privileges?

What about the one where Sean King is still inexplicably allowed to falsely claim to be a mulatto, even while all these fake Indian women are going down?

I’m really bored of all those bits, actually.

I do think the Sean King one is the most interesting. He claimed that his mother had sex with a random black man when she was married to his father, and the media just let it drop.

I wonder if these fake Indians have tried claiming their mother was seduced by an Apache while at a casino on the res?

“Spiritual appropriation is really part of an ideology of genocide”

Heather Rae (center)

Pretending to be an Indian is very profitable.

White women are very intelligent and capable of easily making a lot of money because they know one simple thing: tell them you’re an Indian.

People think white women are stupid, lazy whores, but they bring in mad money by doing literally nothing but lying. Seems pretty smart to me.

New York Post:

One of Hollywood’s leading Native American figures is being accused of faking her claims of Cherokee heritage, The Post can reveal.

Award-winning Heather Rae, 56, serves on the Academy of Motion Pictures’ Indigenous Alliance, previously headed up the Sundance Institute’s Native American program and claims “my mother was Indian and my father was a cowboy.” Multiple prior news reports have also cited her as having a Cherokee mother.

But a watchdog group called the Tribal Alliance Against Frauds is now demanding the Academy and the producer drop her “false claims” while activists insist she’s at best 1/2048th Cherokee.

The group accuses her of profiting from usurping “real American Indian voices and perspectives” and being a fraudulent so-called “Pretendian.”

Rae is married to another Hollywood producer, Russell Friedenberg, and the eldest of their three children is actress Johnny Sequoyah, who currently stars in the reboot of Dexter.

…

Rae, who was born in California and brought up in Idaho, is best known for “Frozen River.” It won both Sundance and an Independent Spirit Award, and was Oscar nominated.

In 2009, Variety named her as a top visionary while noting her half-Cherokee roots.

Over the years, she has burnished her credentials, which center on a claim that her mother, Barbara Riggs, was Cherokee.

She has a tattoo of Selu, a Cherokee corn goddess and in 2016 told a New Zealand conference: “I grew up in the state of Idaho, which is in Pacific Northwest, in the U.S.

“And, um, my mom was Indian and my dad’s a cowboy. I am not conflicted – I mean, there are times. It was interesting at home.”

She joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2016 and her place on its Indigenous Alliance makes her a key figure in its Native American outreach efforts.

Rae has cited her “Indian” ancestry throughout her successful producing and directing career, although she is not an enrolled member of any tribal nation.

…

But TAFF highlights research which argues that far from being half-Indian, Rae has no ancestors recognized by the three Cherokee nations: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the Eastern Band of Cherokee and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.

The research includes a divorce certificate from 1969 showing both of Rae’s parents, Vernon and Barbara Bybee, listed as white.

On her father’s side, one ancestor arrived from England in Virginia before the Pilgrims. And on her mother’s side, there is scant evidence of Cherokee connection, it says.

Census and other records show her maternal grandfather’s ancestors all identifying themselves as white.

Only one of them – Rae’s fourth great-grandparent, Jane E. Lassiter – has a possible Cherokee link, through a claim that Jane’s father Archibald Lassiter was one-eighth Cherokee, which would make Rae 1/2048th Indian.

But even that’s dubious – and potentially problematic, according to the Fake Indian project’s research highlighted by the Tribal Alliance.

They say records show that in 1832, Lassiter, won acreage in Alabama in the Cherokee Land Lottery, which redistributed areas throughout Georgia previously settled by Native Americans.

“It was ONLY open to non-Cherokees,” the Fake Indians blog continues. “Winning such a lottery is definitive proof of the ancestor NOT being Cherokee.”

This bitch also steals people’s photos from funerals.

what’s the story with erika wurth? scrolled thru who she’s following & noted a lot of problematic people.

— repeal 41.18 (@ziggywalksinla) January 26, 2023

In every American family, there are rumors of being part Indian.

When that cartoon “Pocahontas” came out, women started thinking this was very sexy.

Then they learned it helps their careers.

New York Post:

Colorado writer Erika Wurth has earned accolades from the New York Times and Good Morning America for her new novel based on her native American heritage — but it’s a past, her detractors say, that she has made up.

Wurth, who teaches creative writing at Regis University in Denver and is a professor at Western Illinois University, claims Chickasaw, Apache and Cherokee heritage on her mother’s side. The background informs her latest novel, “White Horse,” which was released to capitalize on Native American Indian Heritage Month in November 2022.

But according to Native activists and researchers, Wurth, 47, is one of dozens of “Pretendians,” and featured on AncestorStealing, a blog that exposes white people who pose as “fake Indians.”

Here she is, following the ancient Apache custom of wearing giant earrings that say “indigenous”

“Her story is completely unverifiable,” said Jacqueline Keeler, a Portland, Oregon, journalist who consulted public records going back more than 100 years to investigate Wurth’s claims. “Her story just doesn’t add up. She has zero Native ancestry.”

Last year, Keeler, who is of Dine/Dakota heritage, made international headlines when she unmasked Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native American activist and actor who famously declined Marlon Brando’s best actor Oscar in 1973 over Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans. According to Keeler, Sacheen Littlefeather, who died last year, was not Native. Keeler’s statement was backed up by Littlefeather’s family, who has Mexican-American roots.

Keeler, who has been accused of conducting “witch hunts” to expose fake Native Americans, told The Post she met Wurth a few years ago when the novelist publicly accused Native American writer Sherman Alexie of sexually assaulting her when she was a 22-year-old aspiring writer. Alexie vigorously denied the allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by Wurth and two other women.

Keeler said she began investigating Wurth’s background because the novelist’s family story seemed fanciful.

“My grandmother, Margarite Temple, came from a long line of urban Indians (of Apache, Chickasaw, and Cherokee descent) and suffered much,” Wurth wrote in a 2022 essay for CrimeReads.com. “Without the finances to realize her dream of becoming a blues singer in New York, Annie James, the Chickasaw whorehouse owner grandmother who raised her, arranged a marriage with a much older man. Margarite was 14. He beat her, gave her syphilis, walked up the steps of their house drunk, and kicked her while she was pregnant.”

According to Wurth, James exacted revenge by killing her own husband. “She had stripped a bullet, melted it, and poured it into his ear while he was sleeping, which killed him,” Wurth said in a 2017 blog post.

Keeler said a team of researchers and Native American geneologists were unable to verify Wurth’s indigenous roots or the story about the murder.

You shouldn’t judge books by their covers, but I’m gonna make an exception here and declare these shit without reading them

“Erika Wurth and her family are not of Cherokee descent,” according to the AncestorStealing blog post. “They were white settlers on stolen Native lands. By the time of the 1900 census, they were back in Kansas, the owners of a farm.”

The same census also offers clues about Wurth’s great grandmother. “The 1900 census shows [Annie and Albert Coffin] as married and living together in San Antonio, Texas, [and] by the time of the 1910 census, Annie lists herself as a widow,” reads the AncestorStealing post about Wurth. “Except she isn’t a widow. While Albert Coffin disappeared from the censuses in 1910 and 1920, we know from his gravestone that he was alive until 1925. So the marriage seems to be troubled. But this story of Annie’s ‘much, much older husband’ getting a melted bullet poured into his ear, which she says caused his death, seems to be entirely made up.”

Wurth refused comment Wednesday, but in a series of 2021 tweets she attacked Keeler and her research.

“Somehow, no matter what, no matter if people are dying or being mocked no matter the issue it’s somehow about somebody who isn’t really Indian,” Wurth tweeted. “Because Jackie is THE ONLY INDIAN (Who somehow has never produced her tribal ID…).

“Doesn’t matter whether someone’s enrolled, if they’re successful, she & her white Indians bully, calling pretendinan to get attention from white people who find her to be nothing more than a minor annoyance,” Wurth continued.

London-based Chickasaw writer Tony Perry has also disputed Wurth’s claims, particularly regarding her Chickasaw roots. The Chickasaw tribe’s lands were located in the southeastern US.

“Erika has a PhD to look and examine and analyze her past, but none of that has happened when it comes to her identity,” said Perry. “It’s one thing to have family lore about what you think happened in the past. It’s quite another when you start to build your career around it.”

Wurth has lectured widely and has mined Native American traditions and folk tales in her seven books. In “White Horse,” which was a Book of the Month Club pick in November and featured on a list of Good Housekeeping’s best books by Native writers, Wurth draws on the Chickasaw legend of Lofa, a boogeyman. The novel tells the story of Native American Kari James, who “must face her family’s dark past after discovering a bracelet haunted by her mother’s spirit.” The copper bracelet conjures visions of her missing mother as well as the Lofa.

At this point, she is deep enough in to qualify as trans-racial.

Fascinating stuff

I still don’t understand why trans-racial isn’t a thing.

There are much bigger differences between the sexes than there are between the races. In terms of basic science, trans-racial is an easier leap.

Also: what about Shaun King?

He got caught red-handed dying his hair, tanning his skin, and flaring his nostrils in photos. When they asked him about his birth certificate, he said his mother cheated on his father with a random black man, then refused to do a DNA test.

Yet somehow, he is still out there making money.

Erika has done a lot more for the Indians than Shaun King did for the blacks. He just milked them for cash. Erika expanded on their cultural heritage with literature.

I say we give her a pass.

Chief Shits-on-White-People is in big trouble. Maybe. Like idk. Dems never seem to get into trouble for anything, ever. Because Republicans never hold their feet to the fire.

But that was before Trump. That was before Kavanaugh. That was before it was enshrined in Supreme Court law that it is legal to rape this bitch to death, politically and otherwise.

Because the test results are in!

Elizabeth Warren… you are… NOT AN INDIAN!!

Breitbart News:

As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) reveals her DNA test purporting to show she has anywhere between 0.1 percent to 1.56 percent Native American ancestry, the liberal lawmaker remains ineligible for Cherokee Nation citizenship.

On Monday, Warren claimed she is vindicated after she released the findings of a DNA test which claims she is at the most 1/64th Native American and at the least, 1/1,024.

The DNA findings, regardless of their legitimacy, do not make her eligible for Cherokee Nation citizenship. Nor does the DNA test make Warren eligible to join the Eastern Band of the Cherokee or the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.

And the Cherokees responded by BANNING her from the teepee/pow-wow/casino/whatever.

Damn, I bet that felt good. For the Indians I mean.

They must be inundated with lost White girls trying to get in touch with their non-existent red man roots because they watched Pocahontas as a kid and think Indians can magically talk to trees and shit.

Indians, however, are creepy and overall, they’re just shitty brown people that used to have cool ethnic garb. That’s pretty much it. 

In fact, I understand why Columbus mistook them for the other kind of Indians.

What I don’t understand is how White girls aren’t as creeped out by red Indians as they are by the other kind.

In the end, it must have been all those romantic movies, right?

Last of the Mohicans really really did a number on my generation, didn’t it?

In the future ethnostate, movies glorifying the “noble savage” will be banned.

That is until the technology gets up to the point where we can literally “reverse-Cherokee” the actors and make them White.

Because White women can’t tell fiction from fantasy. And it would be expensive to DNA test all of them.

UPDATE: 

Shockingly, the Jewish media is siding with her.

Seriously.

The motherfucking New York Times is saying this puts DRUMPF on the defensive.

New York Times:

It is a racial taunt made by the president of the United States, not unlike his discredited claim that Barack Obama was not born in America.

And just as President Trump’s embrace of birtherism led to the remarkable spectacle of President Obama’s birth certificate being distributed in the White House, Mr. Trump’s unrelenting mockery of Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” — questioning her claims about having Native American heritage — has prompted Ms. Warren to release the results of a DNA test that she says provide proof of her ancestry.

There is “strong evidence” that Ms. Warren has Native American pedigree “6-10 generations ago,” according to a document she released Monday from Dr. Carlos Bustamante, a renowned geneticist. The error rate is less than one-in-a-thousand, he said.

Ms. Warren’s elaborate attempt to neutralize Mr. Trump’s attacks represented the surest sign yet that she intends to run for president in 2020. Not only did the Massachusetts senator release the DNA results, but she created a fact-check website that details her Native American ancestry and her Oklahoma roots. The site also includes documents that Ms. Warren says make clear her heritage “had no role whatsoever” in her advancement during her academic rise as a Harvard law professor — as some Republicans have asserted.

And of course, every other news outlet is going along with this New York Times.

You have to BELIVE WOMEN who test at 1% Indian are Trve Cherokee Princesses.

This is like a test to see if people are willing to go along with whatever the media says.

I can’t even believe it.

I cannot even believe that they have the nerve to come out and say that being 1% of a race on a DNA test does not mean that it is outright fraud that you claimed being that thing to get scholarships and then base your entire DNA on it.

Anything short of formally accusing this woman of living a lie her entire life is completely insane and unbelievable.

But yeah, this is the way it works – I guess the Democrat believers are just going to have to download the new update.

Originally published February 28, 1988

The problem with some of our accounts of history is that they have been manipulated to fit conclusions not borne out by facts. Nothing could be more intellectually dishonest. This is about a vivid case in point.

Congress recently passed a bill, later approved by President Reagan, to memorialize as a National Historic Trail what both professional and amateur historians call the Cherokee Indian Trail of Tears. The trail is the route by which the Cherokees moved west from their Georgia-Tennessee-Carolinas homeland into what is now Oklahoma.

The act caused a spate of articles about how the Cherokees lost 4,000 or more dead on a terrible trek, described as a “forced” march, presumably indicating they were prodded by bullet and bayonet as they moved during the hard winter of 1837-38.

The oddities are: 1) Voluminous records, including those of the Cherokee nation itself, show no loss approaching 4,000 (an actual figure of about 840 deaths was bad enough); 2) The word “forced” insults the Cherokees because they conducted their own march, paid for by Washington; 3) The phrase “Trail of Tears” was never used by a Cherokee in the 1830s, but came into existence under other circumstances some 70 years later.

How could such distortions have become embedded in accounts of a publicly debated episode with loud political overtones? Approaching that question requires some background.

Cherokee removal was part of the enforcement of U.S. law and policy.

Years before, President Thomas Jefferson had advocated removing Indians out of reach of rapidly oncoming white settlement. In 1802, the United States had guaranteed Georgia it would wipe out Indian title to lands in that state.

Congress finally enacted, effective in 1830, a law decreeing the transfer of all eastern Indians to open lands west of the Mississippi River. Some Indians had already gone there.

Those in favor of the policy, led by Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, held that this was the only way to prevent white settlers from exterminating the Indians. Those against, mainly Whig Party opponents of Jacksonian democracy and eastern Protestant religionists, said it was simply a case of land-hungry whites stealing Indian lands.

With much political help but no success, the Cherokees, one of the major Indian tribes, delayed their own removal until the United States sent the military to round up their members from their hill-country homes in preparation to going west.

The Cherokees were a mixed lot. Their chief, John Ross, was only one-eighth Indian. A 1835 census showed 23 percent of the tribe had white blood. The Cherokee elite kept black slaves, as did leaders of other advanced southern Indian tribes. The Cherokees had adopted their own constitution, a move their opponents said violated the U.S. Constitution.

Ross gave up the fight after some 5,000 Cherokees had gone ahead, many at their own request, some with military escort, and made a deal with Gen. Winfield Scott. Under the agreement, the remaining Cherokees would move themselves, under their own leadership, hiring their own help, using money advanced by the United States.

The Cherokees employed doctors for each group. One was Elizur Butler, a resident medical missionary who worked for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), a Harvard-based Protestant group.

Back from his own effort, and before the last parties had even reached western Indian territory, Butler reported to the ABCFM the 4,000 deaths figure, which he said was “not extravagant.” His letter is on file at Harvard.

An ABCFM history published in 1840 picked up Butler’s figure, which Butler himself stated was based on hearsay and guesswork. From there the figure started on its way to historic gospel.

Cherokee removal was investigated by Congress to an extent that can be believed only by reading the Congressional Record. Some reports run to hundreds of pages. The written military record exists in detail in U.S. archives. Nothing like an extravagant death toll among the Cherokees exists. Butler is the sole source for such a conclusion. No historian mentions that.

In the Cherokee nation’s own files, now on deposit in the Gilcrease Institute in Tulsa, the number of Indians departing the East in 13 main parties is recorded at 12,623, the arrivals West at 12,783. Some stragglers joined on the way. American military counts are almost the same. The Cherokees were being paid per Indian moved.

T. Hartley Crawford, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, reported on Aug. 6, 1840, in a private communication to the secretary of war that the death toll among the 13 groups was 447. He also said that Lewis Ross, John Ross’ brother, who was supplier to the movement, made a large profit. Historians have never used the Crawford document or, for that matter, the Cherokee documents.

Other deaths, raising the total to more than 800, took place in parties outside the main groups and were carefully reported to the U.S. government. John Ross never made unusual claims for deaths, although he returned to Washington repeatedly after 1838 seeking more money.

The phrase “Trail of Tears” entered the story much later. In 1958, Gaston Litton, former archivist at the University of Oklahoma, attributed it to a remark by a Choctaw Indian to a Baptist preacher about an Indian Territory road. It reached print for the first time in 1908, 70 years after the exodus, when all the participants were dead.

From then on it spread like an advertising slogan, as if it came from the mouths of the 1830-40 Cherokee Indians who had never heard or used it.

Indian outrage at removal is understandable. So, too, is opposition to the policy on moral or political grounds or out of sympathy for the Indians. The Cherokees were well-paid. Actual removal costs ran $2.9 million and by 1849 had gone up another $3 million. In today’s money that would be billions.

The Cherokee removal episode seems to need some historic revision.

I, who have spent more than 20 years researching it, doubt anyone will bother. It is too good a story as it stands and too well-fixed to disturb. That makes it all the more dishonest.
