FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 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
Lance "Chunk" Morgan - Congratulations for your People writeup! When are you going on Oprah? If Famous Dave can do it, you can too.

The Fighting Whites - You'll always be winners in our minds.

The Oil / Gas / Goal / Power / Nuclear Industry - We always knew you were a friend of President Bush but now we know how much.

Non-Indian Farmers - After lots of complaining, you'll be getting your water. You went so long without it.

The Losers
The Bush Administration - For trying to limit your trust responsibility. Consider the $600 million a down payment. And fix those schools! Even though we know you claim credit for something the Clinton administration did.

Liz Gray - Now you'll have to deal with an even bigger Jim ego!

Secretary of Interior Gale Norton - The check is in the mail you say. But will it bounce?

The Norwich Bulletin - For writing an editorial riddled with half-truths, misleading information and bad advice. We can't wait until your "Big Chief" commentary.

In The Middle
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - The scientists are going to bat for you. But will Auntie Gale pay attention? In The Hoop says no!

Native voters in Montana - You've won some and lost some but your rights are finally being recognized. Let's hope this momentum continues come Election Day.

Unrecognized Tribes - Your future lies in the hands of Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb. Are you as worried as we are?

Enron Secretary Thomas White - The excuses are running out. We give you a month.
