Warm Springs Rodeo Association, Oregon, is holding its 29th annual all-Indian rodeo June 28-29. We are trying a multi-sanction; looks like it's a go with WIREA, and NNRCA. We need to hear from IRCA (Lambert Tailfeathers), UIRA (Ted Hoyt), and RMIRA (Anna Jackson) no later than June 12. Please e-mail the secretary at vjs@bendnet.com with your yay or nay so we can let your cowboys know when they call for this info. Thanks. Also thx to IRN for their assistance.

We do our best to feature folks who have been referred to IRN, the hard part is finding a number to reach the cowboys and cowgirls, then to track them down when they have time to talk to us. Rodeo Queens have always been welcomed to send us their pictures and bios, to help promote the rodeo she represents!

Tried to call the numbers we have for Sam and Dustin Bird, no answer. We'll keep trying, looking to feature them for June!

Thanks all for your questions and support, our reporters, Lizzie Dixey, Sheila Totten, Colleen Crawler and Brandi Morin, and Gina Moore, are working hard to get you results and stories on our Native Cowboys and Cowgirls across North America. We are working to bring on a few more field reporters in the near future.

How about a country music festival at our Big Indian Rodeos? Trying to reach Crow Fair about booking, Pat Cardinal, Ronnie Lee Twist, Nate Begay for a concert. What do you all think, never seen before Indian Country musicians jamming at a big rodeo!!!

Hey, heard Strayhorse might be booked to play at White Swan this year, we'll keep you informed. Wouldn't they draw a big crowd!!!

I can't say more about how this website keeps you informed on what you need to know about rodeos and contestants. Oh, I was also wondering do you feature anyone who makes a request on a cowgirl or cowboy to be featured? Like rodeos queens who want to advertise their upcoming rodeo or fair? Did you get a hold of the Bird cowboys yet? I can reach them both if you'd like and let them know about this site. Thanks for also keeping up with Montana cowboys and cowgirls, I truly believe they have some of the best competitors in Indian Rodeo.

In memory of "Chief Brisbois" life time Indian cattle rancher from White Swan Washington. Chief passed away on Easter. Those of you who went to the White Swan rodeo last year, seen him present the "Peggy Brisbois" memorial trophy to be passed on each year to the top winning cowboy. Please take a moment to pray for his daughter Charlotte and son David, grandchildren Laura and Doug; his surviving sisters and all of us who knew him throughout the years. Chief and Peggy supported Indian kids who wanted to show steers and livestock at the Yakima County livestock shows. They also helped with the White Swan All Indian rodeo in the early years and were always there every year to watch the cowboys and cowgirls from all over the US and Canada come to compete. He will be missed.

Special Thanks to the Columbia River circuit secretary, for helping IRN contact Sean Culver and Johnny Hammack Jr, Sean is currently in Texas at the Houston rodeo and we'll be working to set up a interview with him hopefully next week. We have contact info for Johnny Hammack Jr and see that he's set to ride at Dodge next week, we'll track him down for a interivew. FYI, here a the link to the Columbia River Circuit web site:http://www.colrivcircuit.com/ On their web site check out the Spring Break Rodeo School, Blair Burk is listed as one of the Calf Roping instructors, and Kelly Currin will be the barrel racing instructor. The school will be at the end of this month March 29-30th in Hermiston Oregon

We'd like to wish Montana Circuit Team Roper's Sam Bird and Jim Cole "Good Luck" next week at the DNCFR here is a link to the page listing the Montana Circuit competitors where you'll see a nice picture of Sam and Jim http://www.prorodeo.com/Sport/DNCFR/4.1.montanaCont.html Note: Sam Bird not only is a champion roper, he's also serves as commissioner on the Indian National Finals Rodeo board! Be looking for daily reports on DNCFR results here at IRN.

We have not made a selection for who will be April's featured youth. We hope to have Devyn Dennison featured for May. If you can help us contact Jerret Monroe and JC Guardipee we'll do a bio and feature them. Mitchel Rolin, we'll be contacting you as well!

I was just wondering, who is going to be the April Youth of the month. This is a really great page, and shows the talent that our native youth hold. I think that it would be great to Featur Jerret Monroe from Browning MT., or at least do a BIO on this great cowboy. He won the National High School Finals Saddle Bronc Riding championship, and is now sitting really good in the College ranks. You could also see him ride at some pro-rodeo's. I think that he is either 18 or 19 years old. Not sure. Also one on JC Guardipee from Cut Bank MT.

In regards to the future of the Miss Indian Rodeo America pageant. We are aware that the organization who was trying to hold their own program was suspended, for what reasons IRN does not know. We have sent mail to INFR asking for more information and if they can answer your question.

The title of Miss Indian Rodeo and Miss Indian Rodeo America has always represented the INFR and member regions, that is where her home is. The young lady from Oklahoma was appointed by a group who wanted to start a "new" program but obviously was not endorsed properly by the INFR. She did what was asked of her by this organization in promoting their program. That is all we know at this time, once we are able to get a statement from INFR we'll update our "Rodeo Queens" page.

IRCA results: don't worry about bugging us, we are thankful that IRCA has worked with IRN to announce their rodeos, we hope to establish a volunteer reporter to help with getting all Canadian rodeo results and news, which will take off the pressure from rodeo associations in following up with results. We'll give them a call tomorrow. The 2 people who contacted us about reporting for Canadian rodeos we'll be in touch this week. Thank you.

Once we get confirmation from Blair Burk, our reporter Lizzie Dixey will be conducting a interview with Blair. Check back next week for more information about the interview.

We'll add the Fort McDowell spring round up rodeo to the list of upcoming rodeos too!

Here is our fax number for all rodeo associations/secretaries to fax us rodeo announcements and results: Put on the cover sheet: Attention: Indian Rodeo News Fax: 425-882-2538

We will be interviewing CNIRA region queen Malinda Thompson next week, look for her pictures and interview on the CNIRA page and under Rodeo Queens.

Sponsorship for INFR: John Laughlin has listed his number for sponsors on this guest book, don't hesitate to contact him at Soboba to inquire about being a sponsor for INFR this year. We are hoping Microsoft will be a sponsor to support Native Americans and Indian Rodeo cowboys/cowgirls.

You all have a good weekend and thank you for your support!

Sorry to report the officers and directors for WSIRA are not finalized. There will be a recall for good reason--voting procedures. The people listed on the WSIRA region are not the correct ones until after the recall election is completed.
