> Abstract:
>
> This is a work in progress that I am making available due to the
> current interest in Ward Churchill's writings. I show that Churchill
> has committed research fraud, and very possibly committed perjury as
> well. This article analyzes Churchill's fabrication of a genocide.
> Churchill invented a story about the US Army deliberately creating a
> smallpox epidemic among the Mandan people in 1837 by distributing
> infected blankets. While there was a smallpox epidemic on the Plains
> in 1837, it was entirely accidental, the Army wasn't involved, and
> nearly every element of Churchill's story is a total invention. My
> goal here was to show how and why Churchill engaged in such blatant
> fraud, and why no one has challenged him on it until now.
