We tried to leave a comment on your post, but it wouldn't let us, so we are just posting here:

Wyoming Indian Chiefs and Lady Chiefs

We rock in basketball at Wyoming Indian. The boy's team may be small (average 5'10") but they can jump and run. Many of them run cross country or play football in the fall so they're in good shape when the basketball season comes. The girl's team is also small in height but can play with anyone.
For us basketball is our life and our future. Many of us start playing very young and hope that basketball will take us to college and maybe to the NBA.

In 2004, a movie called "Chiefs" was made to honor the former players, celebrate the young players and show the effect that basketball has made on the Wind River Reservation.

Photos from October Court Day

Posted by Mrs. Rogers:

One of my student groups is going to write a post about October Court Day, a huge 4 day festival held in our town on the 3rd Monday (and preceding Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) each October. I won't "steal their thunder" by going into too much detail about it, but I wanted to share some photos I have taken over the weekend. We are a fairly small town, but more than 200,000 people pour into our town during this event. Photography is my hobby, so pardon me if I bore you with too many photos : )

Here is a short video showing some of the Court Day crowd:

This year, cutesy animal hats are all the rage. Who would have thought a Sock Monkey hat would be a hot item?
