Suit Power

LINCOLN, Neb.—Before leaving school here for the Motor City and the Spirit of Diversity job fair, I remember asking myself, “How can I possibly convey to these recruiters that I want to be a serious candidate for their internships?”
That one little question made me so nervous. It also led me to a hundred different answers. But this is an anecdote about the one that cost me the most dinero.

  • 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.
