California: Injun Professor Suddenly Discovers She’s Not Really Injun at All

The fact is, virtually no one in America has Indian blood. This is seemingly strange, given that we lived near them for so long, but the redmen had no interest in white women. They didn’t even rape them during raids, preferring brutal slaughter and torture to anything sexual.

Certainly, white men on the frontier would have had sexual interest in red women, if for no other reason than because they were available, but these women did not domesticate. In the instance that there was a mixed-race child from a white father and red mother, the kid ended up with the Indians (which is why most Indians now are probably a majority white, genetically).

The reason that people claim Indian ancestry – every family has these stories – is the same reason we named all these places in America after Indians: people feel bad about taking their land.

Campus Reform:

Elizabeth Hoover, an associate professor of environmental science, policy and management at the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley), recently admitted that she has no tribal connections after decades of claiming otherwise.

Hoover is “one of 11 self-identified Native American/Alaska Native ladder-rank faculty members at Berkeley,” according to the Berkeley News.

For decades, Professor Hoover has attributed her Native American heritage to being part of both the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq Indian tribes.

Hoover released an official statement on the issue on Oct. 20 titled “Statement about Identity.” In it, she discussed the results of her investigation into whether she truly had Native American roots.

“Now, without any official documentation verifying the identity I was raised with, I do not think it is right for me to continue to claim to be a scholar of Mohawk/Mi’kmaq descent,” Hoover wrote.

“We have to date found no records of tribal citizenship for any of my family members in the tribal databases that were accessed.”

She continued, saying that because of these “new revelations”, she will stop identifying as of Mohawk/Mi’kmag descent even though she has done this publicly since she was a teenager.

As early as 1996, Hoover, at 17-years-old, claimed in a newspaper that “Being of Native American descent I am annoyed at mascots such as ‘Indians’ or ‘Chiefs’” and that “for a school with all white students it is ludacris to have a mascot of a race that is not represented there.”

This was a very good racket for a while. No one was calling people out for it. Probably, most of these people believed the stories their families told them. Literally every middle-American family has these stories.

Now, however, people are getting called out, and this Hoover woman is just getting out in front of it so she doesn’t end up Elizabeth Warren’d.

First time I ever heard the term “cartographic violence”
