Professors and reporters attending Ward Churchill's speech in Hawaii on Tuesday disputed a Honolulu Star-Bulletin report that Churchill admitted he is not Indian.

"He didn't say that, and it's causing a lot of uproar here," said David Stannard, one of a dozen professors who helped sponsor Churchill's appearance at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

"In fact, he said the exact opposite," Stannard said. "It's all over the place now (on the Internet). How do you put it back in a bottle? This gives strength to his argument that he is being misrepresented by the media."
