Черчилль, Уард цитаты

Уард Черчилль — американский писатель и политический активист движения американских индейцев. Будучи лицом неясного этнического происхождения, на протяжении многих лет он позиционировал себя как человек с индейскими корнями, указывая на то что его формально приняли в одну из групп племени криков, проживающих в Оклахоме. Некоторые индейские активисты осудили его за то что он сделал карьеру на эксплуатации модной темы индейского активизма . Wikipedia
