Abstract

Oral arguments will begin in Washington D.C. as the U.S. government appeals its latest loss in the Indian trust funds mismanagement case. An English-only law has reared its head in Oklahoma and tribal leaders are trying to beat it down. Politicians in several states are wooing the Indian vote, seen as a swing-vote segment in some western districts. What current events are happening in your community in September? Guests include Jim Gray, publisher of Oklahoma Indian Times newspaper.
