In The Hoop
FRIDAY, MAY 10, 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
Colorado River Indian Tribes - You finally exposed the limitations of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Congratulations! Terry Poust - Will you make the National Indian Gaming Commission's most important administrative decision ever and then sail into a lofty career in Indian gaming? Don't forget about those new MICS rules you signed up for. The Devil - Not even the Navajo Nation can bring you down! There's justice in here somewhere. Charles Tillman - With endorsements from folks like Neal McCaleb, who needs an election? Just declare yourself something of an Osage Nation Chairman. The Losers
Colorado River Indian Tribes - Exposing the limitations means Congress will move quickly to patch them up. Indian Country says thanks a lot. Seminole Chief (?) Jerry Haney - You excluded the Freedmen as a bargaining chip to please certain members of your tribe. Now you are saying you wanted them in the fold all along. The only one who doesn't see through this game is the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Sandra Spooner - We can see the fear in your eyes. 7th Report at 69. And your legs shaking. Id. Boston Cardinal Bernard F. Law - Dual citizenship? Sovereign immunity? Abuse allegations? Who do you think you are, Russell Means? In The Middle
Colorado River Indian Tribes - Any one else would herald their win from the rooftops but instead you are quiet. Was it the raid? Or because even your "regulators" think the problem has gotten out of control? Former Tribes of Illinois - "We got rid of the damn Indians over one hundred years ago and we are not going to have them back." BIA Office of Information Resource Management - You better get a director real soon or Ross Swimmer will take over you too. Indian Trust Transition Team - We overheard you in Oklahoma asking questions about people's daily routines. We can't wait to see the flowcharts of "Drink Coffee" -> "Read Paper" -> "Go to Lunch" -> "Drink More Coffee" -> "Dream of Logging on to Read Indianz.Com" -> "Go Home" In Your Hoop
