Milwaukee professor accused of LYING about being Native American

Former colleagues of a $167,000-a-year university professor of American Indian studies have said they feel betrayed after she admitted having no evidence of Native American ancestry.

Margaret Noodin, 58, was called a 'con artist' after leaving her job as director of the Electa Quinney Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee last year amid growing suspicion about her claims to an indigenous identity.

The linguist posted a 'positionality statement' insisting her family told her she had Native American relatives when she was a child.
