Craig Womack
Craig Womack is an author and professor of Native American literature. He self-identifies as being of Creek and Cherokee descent, but is not enrolled with any Native American tribe. Womack wrote the book ''Red on Red: Native American Literary Separatism'', a book of literary criticism which argues that the dominant approach to academic study of Native American literature is incorrect.

The movement significantly altered the critical methodologies used to approach Native American literature. Womack has also produced a nove ...

Pretendian
A pretendian (portmanteau of ''pretend'' and ''Indian'') is a person who has falsely claimed Indigenous identity by claiming to be a citizen of a Native American or Indigenous Canadian tribal nation, or to be descended from Native ancestors. The term is a pejorative colloquialism, and if used without evidence could be considered defamatory. As a practice, being a pretendian is considered an extreme form of cultural appropriation, especially if that individual then asserts that they can represent, and speak for, communities they do not belong to. It is sometimes also referred to as a form of fraud, ethnic fraud or race shifting. History of false claims to Indigenous identity Early claims Historian Philip J. Deloria Philip Joseph Deloria is a historian, author and member of the Dakota Nation who specializes in Native American, Western American, and environmental history.

Formerly an assistant professor of American Culture and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Smith serves as a professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at University of California, Riverside.

She is not enrolled in any recognized Cherokee tribes, and genealogist David Cornsilk, who has said Smith hired him twice to research her claims of heritage, found no evidence of Cherokee ancestry on either occasion. The controversy over Smith's claims of Cherokee identity receive ...
