17. Ward Churchill

Ward Churchill was nominated honorary guide on Feb. 10, 2005, for his antiwar essay “Satya,” which many Americans deemed “insensitive” or “unpatriotic.” Churchill pointed out that the three million people killed in the war in Indochina and those who died in the U.S. invasions of Grenada and Panama were victims of unconscionable governmental decisions. Further, he said indigenous peoples are still subject to genocidal policies. He is a Colorado University professor.
