FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 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
Kickapoo Traditional Tribe - Here's to your continued occupation and protest. "This is our reservation. The federals are supposed to protect us, not throw us out."

Kansas Tribes - It looks like you won't be seeing any competition from your neighbors down south any time soon.

Sioux Nation - People are actually paying attention to you! Too bad it's only to intimidate you, arrest you and put you in jail.

Ross Swimmer - Congratulations on your many roles on trust reform! While you're at it, can you remind Neal McCaleb to save his e-mails?

The Losers
Gale Norton - Release the fish! Release the fish!

Bureau of Indian Affairs - Thanks for "helping" the Kickapoos resolve their problems!

Miami Nation - We're sorry about your Indian lands opinion. Maybe you can convince Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) to write a bill for you too.

Senator Dodd - If you're such a damn good friend to us why are you trying to screw us?

In The Middle
Restricted Allotment - You were a trade-up from an original allotment, but no one knows what to do with you.

Noni - Will you make it through your shoplifting trial? We are pulling for you!

Our Favorite Government Attorney - The Five Nations land bill hasn't even passed but you're already implementing it. What a great trustee you are.

Rap Music - Rest in Peace, Jam Master Jay.
