Craig Womack lists his parents as Coy and Wilma Womack in the acknowledgement of "Red on Red
Native American Literary Separatism." Coy Womack is listed as "White" on the 1940 Census. Don't know anything about Wilma. I haven't see any indication that Craig Womack is actually enrolled with any Muscogee or Cherokee nation. Mr. Womack is often described as a "leading" figure or writer within Native American literary studies, so surely it should be easy to demonstrate his enrollment in at least one of the two Native nations he claims to be a descendant from. I've scoured the internet and nothing is coming up. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 14:39, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Womack isn't enrolled in a tribe, hence the "of descent" categories. Genealogical research would be considered wp:original research, so outside of Wikipedia's purview. Yuchitown (talk) 15:47, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]
@Yuchitown Yes, which is why I didn't include it in the article. But I was wondering if there are documented sources concerning Professor Womack's non-enrollment. I haven't found any yet. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Craig Womack has defended Andrea Smith, but that link can't be used as a source. I was wondering if there was any source mentioning his support for Smith. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 21:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
