Red Round Up, 8-23-08

In today's Red Round Up, the pros and cons of McCains' relationship with Indian Country and vice-versa, the Iowa attorney general's office gets in the Ponca Tribes' grill, finding tradition within prison and more then I'm not in the mood to summarize wittily.  

 

Is McCain's history with Indians a mixed blessing?

from the Associated Press:

  • Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)

  • A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.

  • Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
