Funny people. Appeared on The Daily Show and had a fine time with some Redskins fans. Went to football game, too.
Also, appeared at Michigan State! Had lunch.

Won NAGPRA case in the Third Circuit. Don’t be fooled. They’re not NAGPRA fans.

Don’t get too excited. They haven’t won anything yet.

Feds are looking for you. Seriously, this time they want to give you money.

Wait, we already covered this under Eric Holder.
The real # 13 Senate Committee on Indian Affairs

Going strong after all these years, maybe more than ever. Cited 27 times by federal and state courts in 2014. Holy moly!
