FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2002

Welcome to In The Hoop, Indianz.Com's occasional column about assorted Indian issues.

In The Hoop: The Scorecard
Is it Friday already? That means it's time for the weekly list of the movers and shakers in Indian Country and beyond.

The Winners
Ad Astra - You're the toast of all of Kansas! If only the state's real Indians were treated with the same awe and respect.

Kenny Reels - It's been a rocky run but at least you're going out in style.

Alaska Natives - Congratulations on your latest subsistence court victory. But will the message get through to the naysayers? We hope so.

Fat Americans - You're stock is rising! And so is your weight.

The Losers
Tigua Tribe - We just hope you don't start installing MegaNanzas at your casino like other tribes.

Columbus Day - Let's replace you with Be Nice to Italians Day.

Jerry Haney - Why can't you just have the locks changed on Ken Chambers?

Klamath Fish - What Auntie Gale giveth, Auntie taketh away. No more water for you!

In The Middle
Tribal Sovereignty - The Supreme Court doesn't respect you but at least it passed up on a few challenges to you. That just means the damage is already done.

Indian Trust - Who in Indian Country isn't dreading the Navajo Nation / White Mountain Apache oral argument and pending decision?

Rebekah Revels - Some people are getting tired of your court maneuvers. Can't you just run for Miss Indian USA instead?

Narragansett Tribe - Will your land ever be taken into trust? Or will you have to sign your rights away?
