In The Hoop
TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 2002

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

The First Annual In The Hoop Reader Appreciation Survey
In The Hoop celebrated its first birthday last week with such little fanfare that we decided to prolong the event by creating our very first annual In The Hoop Reader Appreciation Survey!

Over the next few days, we will be asking you for your input on how to make In The Hoop even more exciting. We'll also be asking what makes you tick!

So take a few minutes to participate. You won't regret it. And you can submit your own questions to win your very own AllNative.Com / Indianz.Com prize that we guarantee the state of Kansas won't seize and force you to pay taxes on...

Stuff About In The Hoop
When I read In the Hoop, I look for:
Inside Information No One Else Has
Humorous Anecdotes and Yarns About Inept Indian & Non-Indian Administrators / Officials
My Name Because I Know I Did Something Bad for Indians Recently

My favorite In the Hoop feature has been:
Secretary of Interior Gale Norton's Antics
Government Indian Divas And Their Antics
You Won't Believe What Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell Said Today

I Wish In The Hoop would:
Tell Me What My Bosses Are Doing Because They Never Tell Me
Launch Undercover Investigations Because I Leak More Than a Faucet
Tell Me "Today's Special" at Blackie's / The Palm, So I Can Plan Ahead

In The Hoop should talk more about:
Promotions
Promotions at the BIA
Promotions at the BIA for a job horribly done, but promoted to the top of the ranks anyway

Stuff About Me
I am:
An enrolled tribal member
A disenrolled tribal member
A terminated tribal member
An Indian in my heart, really

I live:
Off the reservation
On the reservation
On a restricted allotment
On land I've been waiting for the BIA to take into trust for 10 years

I am closest in age to:
Miss Indian World
