Glenn T. Morris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glenn T. Morris is an American academic and Native American activist.
Morris was born in 1955 at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, where his father was stationed in the United States Army. He was the seventh of eight children. Morris grew up primarily in Denver, Colorado and Phoenix, Arizona and is a 1973 graduate of East High School in Denver.
Morris is of part Shawnee descent through his father. He is an associate professor of political science at the University of Colorado at Denver and came to national attention in the early 1990s for his anti-Columbus Day protests with the American Indian Movement of Colorado, of which he formerly served as Co-Director and is now a member of the Leadership Council. In 1991 he was arrested, then acquitted, for his participation in the first such protest.
He has worked closely with Ward Churchill, and the two have written articles together.
The American Indian Movement, which is not associated with the American Indian Movement of Colorado, has called Morris "another Caucasian American masquerading as an Indian".[1]
