LaNada War Jack
- ... that LaNada War Jack, today a distinguished professor of Native Law and Governance, was a leader of the Third World Strike at UC Berkeley and the Occupation of Alcatraz during her student days? Source: "Dr. War Jack is currently a Distinguished Professor at Boise State University teaching federal Indian Law/Tribal Government." (Native Knot); "The arrests also included three leaders of the Third World Liberation Front, Manuel Delgado, Ysidro Macias, and Lanada V. Means" (Oakland Tribune); "From November 1969 to July 1971, a group of American Indians took over and occupied Alcatraz Island led by Richard Oakes (Mohawk) LaNada Boyer, and Grace Thorpe (Sac and Fox)" (Native Knot)

Substantial interesting bio on excellent sources, few subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook is fine, I just wonder about the word "distinguished", which I probably don't know enough. Is it a special kind of professor, as the source suggests, by capital? Then capital? Or a description such as "eminent"? Then drop? One more question: how about mention the student days first, trying not to drive readers away for whom professors may be boring? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:56, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
