Elouise Cobell, the lead plaintiff in the trust fund class action lawsuit, will be the "Indian in the Spotlight" on tomorrow's edition of Native America Calling.

NAC's promo for the show calls Cobell, a banker from the Blackfeet Nation of Montana, the "Erin Brockovich" of Indian Country. So if Hollywood made a movie about the trust fund debacle, will the Indian Julia Roberts play Cobell?

Tune in tomorrow and perhaps we'll find out.

No one from the Bush administration is scheduled to appear on the show. The program begins at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Today on Indianz.Com:
