Rodeo News Guestbook Archives
Last Archive Update:
CommentsYou have a very nice web site. It would be nice to see all of the INFR regions list all of their rodeos and information for all who are interested in joining and entering the different rodeo's.
CommentsMaybe IRN could add spell check to the guest book so even the messages in poor taste could be appreciated for what they are worth.
Commentsi would like to nominate shawn best sr for the rodeo hall of fame. He is a well deserved cowboy. region member
CommentsAll nominees for the Hall of Fame will be added by Monday. We have been on holiday. Thank you, Editor/IndianRodeonews.com
CommentsI submitted a name to the hall of fame for rancher. What happened to it? Do all nominees get posted or are they hand-picked or what? Will this question be put in guestbook?

CommentsGreat site.. The editor of this site did a fine job in developing Indian Rodeo News on the cybernetwork for all Native Cowboys/Cowboys. Not only the cowboys, to anyone of interest. I enjoyed your pictures from around the country, especially from NM. I never heard of the Indian Worlds Final, it sounds interesting. I will making a special trip when I going to the NFR in Vegas. I being going every year for the last six years. I wait at this time of the year for my vacation. Coninue your fine work and keep it going. "Lyle"
CommentsNever knew Wiley was so HANDSOME!! Congrats on you latest win!! Now Ill watch PBR more often, keep tearing it up on the circute Wiley!! You #1 fan that reads Indianrodeonews.com!! :)
CommentsI would like to nominate Joe Scott Sr for the hall of fame. Joe Scott is from Warm Springs, OR. and rode at 2 finals in Saltlake,UT. and 2 finals in Albq,NM. Joe Competed on the Indian Rodeo Circuit,the NRA, Northwest Rodeo Association (now NPRA) The CCA (California Cowboys Association) and later in his years, in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Joe has always been a fun, easy goin guy teasing and joking with everyone he knew on the rodeo circuits (many knew him as a prankster.. always playing jokes on someone). Joe travelled with cowboys all over the US and Canada, In 1993 Joe was retiring from saddle bronc competition and was in a unpredictable accident. Joe's neck was broke and there was too much spinal cord disruption. Joe had a hard time coming back to his normal fun going personality, but he's returned w/ us. Joe is now active in his wheel chair and is helping many young aspiring cowboys to start rodeoing. He and John Hammack put rodeo practices together to help these young riders started, including his son Joe Scott Jr. and I imagine some day Joe Scott III. Id like to mention some of the cowboys Joe travelled with- John Hammack, Buzz Scott,Lee Tom and (the late) Leland Tom, Butch, Frank and Ted Hurtado,Richard, Cecil, and (the late) Oliver Louis,Frank Paz,Sonny James Jim,Joe Moses,Tod Cline. (too many to mention) Joe was featured on the opening commercial of the NBC Wide World of Sports. Warm Springs always supported Joe and all the Cowboys from Home... Hats Off Joe! and to all the nominee's!! CC Scott
CommentsHappy Thanksgiving to you all out in the Indian Country. Hope you had a wonderfull gathering with your family. It is an Native American tradition to feast for great celebration and gives thanks to our creator. Wish you the best for the Native American participants at the Indian Worlds Final and National Finals Rodeo. Along with the stockmans and ranchers for bring such livestock to this unique event to the World. It takes a lot of hardwork in grazing fine animal and years of training for the Cowboys to talent as they are. From Nashoni of Animas,NM

CommentsI would like to nominate Kenny Sam for The Indian Cowboy Hall of Fame. Kenny was an all around cowboy, member of WSIRA, he hailed from Omak Washington, memer of the Colville Confederated Tribes. He lost his life at an early age, but he will never be forgotten. He had earned his place among The Best in the world of Indian Rodeo.

CommentsWhen can I see Indian Rodeo Cowboys on ESPN?---- Rodeo fan
CommentsDear Reader: If INFR personel would return our calls and tell us who recieved the scholarship then we would let our readers know. We have called several times and they do not return our calls. Maybe the Soboba Tribe knows? We'll give them a call today to see. But we've given up on getting a answer from INFR. Editor/Indianrodeonews.com

Contact us with your nominations and please provide information about your nominee. Check out the Hall of Fame to view the current list of Cowboys who are nominated.
Best Looking Cowboy and Best Looking Cowgirl poll is a great idea. But, in order to do this, we need to make sure that the people you nominate are going to be willing to participate. If you make a nomination, you will need to help us contact the person you nominated. Let us know what you all think? Editor/IndianRodeoNews

CommentsSundance Rodeo and Standing Alone Rodeo Co's did a great job this weekend with thier roughstock challenge in Claresholm Alberta. Congrats to the UIRA cowboys in taking both the bares and broncs. Bareback riding has declined in the last couple years, any ideas what can be done? More rodeo schools, etc. IRCA member Roughstock
CommentsHUGE congrats go out to Wiley Petersen for winning the New Orleans Bud Light Cup this weekend!!! Fan from AZ,
CommentsA big War hoop to Wiley Peterson for winning the PBR this weekend we did not know it was on today until I checked for news on this awesome site We noticed that Wiley thanked his sponsor the Shoshone-Bannock tribe sure is great to see a Indian bull rider on NBC sports sunday afternoon win the pbr Grant, SD
CommentsI would just like to say whoever is doing all of the complaining about WSIRA should keep their comments to themselves. They obvioulsy have no idea the work and commitment it takes to run an association. I am not even from that region and it makes me mad that someone can complain like that. If they serioulsy want to say something then they should say it at a general meeting or something infront of everybody. Not like a sneeky little rat behind everybodies back. Come on that is so childish. I think everybody else is right, whoever you are you should be on the board so we can see what kind of job you can do. Because if you think it is an easy task, you are so wrong. INFR region member

CommentsWSIRA has some great shows. Hopefully they will get posted to this site (hint, hint). Begin about in May, June, July, August, Sept. Tygh Valley, OR, Klamath Indian Rodeo, Klamath Falls, OR, White Swan, WA, Pi-Ume-Sha All-Indian Rodeo, Warm Springs, OR, Hoopa, CA, Nespelem, WA, Grand Ronde, OR. Keep tuning in to this site and check under INFR Regions (WSIRA). Some of these shows also have pow-wows and other stuff. Hope you can come!
CommentsHello Gina: I wanted to pat you on the back for a wonderful site. I came back in here to see the results of a few rodeos and entry #'s, and also to see the Cowboy/girl results Congradulations to Shawn and Henny! I just want to say to the WSIRA members.... Hay! Lets leave our dirty laundry home.... I mean all the bickering is NOTHING but embarracing. If everyone knows your RODEO rules y'all wouldn't have been looking so ignorant arguing at the finals..... Everyone signed the Sudden death at Nevada... Please, Dont do this..... C C Scott, Oregonian
CommentsWell I think we should vote for the Best Looking Cowboy too! Because there are alot of HOT cowboys out there!!
CommentsThis is awesome!!! I love the website. Keep up the fantastic work!! ~Gayle George, Whiteriver, AZ
CommentsI agree with the comment of voting on the best looking cowgirl, there are a lot of HOT women out there, in fact more than ive got time to mention, one of my favourites is ERICA BEACON is there any way of posting photos of these lovely ladies keep up the good work irn nanca timey
CommentsI think IRN should have a poll on the best lookin’ cowgirl. We all voted for the best horsemanship cowgirl/Cowboy but let see who will win Miss photogenic. Ladies could send in their photos and have IRN surfers vote. Hopefully it won’t become a problem if the voters won’t make an issue of it. Just an idea…they’re a lot of beautiful cowgirls out there. Ryan-New Mexico
CommentsA public thank you to WSIRA officers Lee Tom, Ralph Rogers, and Jackie Jim for upholding the integrity of our rulebook at the INFR relative to the breakaway roping. Also, thank you Jackie for getting the nomination forms out as its never too early to start planning for next year. In fairness to whomever is elected, the early start should be helpful. Looking forward to a great 2003!- Carolyn Harry
Comments2002 rodeo season is over, lets all look forward to 2003. 2002 was rough on WSIRA members, but it has come and gone so let's everybody work together so we can have a successful rodeos for the new year. We have future generations coming up and we need to have a association for them to belong to and participate in. Please no more finger pointing and accusations, we are trying to attract more people to join, not make them reluctant because of all the fighting, and power struggles.
CommentsI agree! Let's get some good solid, honest people on the WSIRA board and start working on the 2003 season.
CommentsMany of you were not at Soboba, there were no voting or no membership mtgs. As far as I know we still have the same board. There was a lot of cheating and lying going on which could have been avoided if we had gone by the rules. Maybe next year we will use our rule book, unlike we did this year. The Soboba Tribe is now aware of what happened and they are not happy. If you're trying to cast a shadow on WSIRA, shame on you. Stop fighting and arguing, let's have the election. So you can have your say, and lets get on with it. Too bad you can't sign the guest book, but we know who you are. Lea Belgarde
CommentsHi, Really enjoy the rodeo's. Hoping to find some of my realitives, Navajo, Salt Tribe from Preuitt, N.M. Abieta is the name. I was adopted young. Contact Linda, sharklindee@aol.com Thank you
CommentsI've looked in on this website several months back, it's changed since the last time...good job! I think I remember Gina, I'm one of the gals from the "olden day" haha Anyway, keep up the work, when I can afford to, will make a donation to your website. later..
CommentsMy thoughts and prayers go out for the Three Irons Family. I know how hard it is to lose someone so young with such an aspiring future. The pain never goes away but with the Grace of God it gets easier day by day. Once again my heart and prayers go out to the family. Take care and may God Bless You All! N.L.
CommentsI had heard arout this site before but this is the first time that I visited it. It is is great! Hope you can keep up the good work.
CommentsDo you have any information on NNRCA? When their next rodeo is or how I could get a schedule of their rodeos? I’m not sure whom to contact? Thank you for your time. Ty-Colorado
CommentsLet's not use this web page to transpire WSIRA concerns. It is embarrassing to see people argue about WSIRA. Yes, WSIRA has it's problems, but we aren't going to solve them by airing them out in this guestbook. We are suppose to encourage membership no discourage it. If you are a WSIRA member then you are provided with phone numbers of the whole board. Call them up to find your answers. Our association needs to move forward in the election process and if you don't like how WSIRA was run in 2002 then nominate new people and vote them in on the 2003 ballot.
CommentsWhoa! Looks like WSIRA is out of hand. There were some pretty defensive comments comin' out. Exactly what IS going to transpire regarding the nominations and election? Let's get some cool level headed answers from somebody in charge. Maybe from Lee himself?
CommentsWe'll make some calls to find out how Jackie is doing. Thank you for asking, Editor/IndianRodeonews.com
CommentsHey IRN. Do you have an update on the young girl that got hurt in california.
CommentsSpeaking of answering the phone; you should try it Jackie!! When members called you because they had no info on Grand Rhonde you didn't even know and COMPLAINED that the Pres didn't give you and info to relay. If your trying then why is Liana stating they she had to do everything as far as getting info out to members all year!! And you did not purchase your card at White Swan you had to have another member buy your membership, remember.
CommentsWe are working on getting more bios, all INFR qualifiers, could you please contact us so we can interview you for a bio? Henny Bruisedhead's BIO will be ready to read by 7pm tonight. Trying to reach Shawn Best Sr anyone know how to reach him? Please take a moment of silence and pray for Indian Three Irons family and friends. Our reporter was able to get us 2 pictures and the obituary for everyone to read, see the home page for the link. Thank you to everyone who sent us the link to the Gazette, we wanted to wait for the family's approval before posting the page. Our prayers will be with the family and all friends of Indian. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsI would like to see a bio or some questions put together about the INFR qualifiers to be asked and have it posted. Maybe every two weeks or so have a different event up with the 1st and 2nd place people who qualified. Pictures would be hard to get. But to get in touch with the qualifiers and do something like that.
CommentsI would like to see pictures of all the qualifiers for the 2002 INFR Rodeo finals
CommentsWe would just like to express our condolences to the family of Clarence "INDIAN" Three Iron's Jr., my family had the pleasure of meeting him and his family at the High School National Rodeo Finals a few years back and became friends by seeing him at Rodeo's around the country. It is a tradgedy to loose one of our young rodeo athletes at such a young age he will truly be missed by his friends both in and out of the Rodeo Arena. Sincerely, Lee, Cheryl, Justin & Liana Tom -
CommentsConcerned Parent of WSIRA this Jackie Jim, What's up? 2002 is OVER!!! Just let this election be, or what are you concerned about? All I am concerned with is getting the new board (Exec. & Event Dir.) in place before the 2003 season starts (not wait until May). I don't see anything wrong with knowing who will be our WSIRA representatives? Get your nomination form back to me. And Liana is right, if you can do a better job, DO IT! If you get on the Board, I hope you will answer you phone when we have questions? It is so sad that such negativity has to be shown towards people who have tried to do our Association some good. My involvemnt was minimal until the very end, BUT I DID TRY. My card was purchased at the White Swan Treaty Days Rodeo. I did let the appropriate board members know at that rodeo, that I would assume the Secretarial duties. So let us just finish this, and get on with our lives. Respectfully submitted, Jackie Jim, WSIRA member since 1983
CommentsHey! this is Liana Tom. I was just wondering, how come I got to still compete down their in Saboba if I didn't pay my fee's? When I went to check in on Thursday morning and pay the extra $50 fine, why didn't the secretaries or any of the commisioners say something. Some of them were standing right their and talking to me and my mom. I don't know why this would be an issue right now anyways, it's not like I did any good down their. I also know that their is only a hand full of young rodeo athletes that compete in the WSIRA, and if you had any balls at all you would have called. You know our phone #. I think that it is a shame that you can't even sign your name off. And also that people have to try and ruin a good thing, after WSIRA is overcoming all of the miss hap's. We went from just the qualifying 6 rodeo's and about 2 of those were multy sanctioned with other regions, to like 13. Maybe we could find out who you are so we could nominate you as President and see what kind of job you could do. I know that it is hard work. Living with the President and having some of the phone calls come in, and after our secretary quit after the 2nd rodeo, for me to get the rodeo results and stuff out for the cowboys when they wanted. All year their was only a hand full of people who complained and was against us. And from this post ment I think that we can narrow it down to who it might be.
CommentsCongradulations to Shawn Best, I am proud of you..keep it up. You have turned into a pretty decent human being..aye!!!! luv ya....your cuz
CommentsNice pictures that could be seen, but half of the pictures do not appear, they're not loading I guess.
CommentsJust a note for WSIRA members to think about. We heard Lee Tom, the WSIRA president, was impeached at Soboba by the directors, and that the secretary Jackie Jim was about to be. Also that it is questionable if Lee is now in good standing. His daughter Liana didn't pay her EF at the INFR. So members we are waiting for a response from WSIRA if the nomination form is a valid one or will it be null and void since an ousted president had it sent out. So both of their memberships are being questioned. Could we get some answers please. - Concerned parent
CommentsIndian Rodeo News Chat Room: Great Idea, other readers have suggested the same and we have noticed everyone keeps missing each other. We'll see if we can write some code so that when readers hit the web site home page, you can see how many people are in the chat room. Another idea we are working on, is a weekly meeting on topics in the chat room. Any thoughts or ideas of what you all want to chat about? NFR last year, set their chat room up for readers to chat with NFR qualifiers this was set up on a scheduled time so that everyone could get involved, they even had elementary school kids chatting with Mike Moore and Flint Rasmussen last year, any of you be interested in chatting with a INFR champion or AIPRCA world champion, how about INFR/region/AIPRCA/PRCA cowboys or cowgirls? We could try to arrange something like this. Otherwise, if we can't come up with a better solution, we'll go ahead and post chat room hours. We just put together the chat room fairly quickly to allow readers to get going on chatting, but, realize that it's not serving it's purpose. We'll work on it. You all want to talk to each other so we'll do our best to make the chat room function better. Editor/IndianRodeonews.com
CommentsNew rodeo pictures have been added to the site, you will find them under Lifestyle, rodeo pictures. Readers, please let us know if you have problems with loading the rodeo pictures page. We may need to break the page up for folks using modem connections. If the pictures do not download to the page, let us know, we are not using a dial up connection so we have no way to test this out. Thanks The pictures were provided by Ben Frank. Please send us your pictures, we'll post them on the site for readers to see what your rodeo shots look like. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsJust a suggestion, but everytime I go to chat people sign in and sign off so fast... Maybe you can designate times for people who want to chat to meet in there. Like for example set a time like 10pm pacific time and 12pm pacific etc....
CommentsNice web-site It's very informative on indian rodeo and the Contestants who compete at the locations across indian country.Some more pictures would be nice otherwise keep up the good work and hopefully indian rodeo will build up a good reputation. I was down in California during the INFR this year and enjoyed watching the rodeo in nice weather for a change hats off to this years Qualifers and Congratulations to all the winners on your show of good horsemanship. was surprised not see names like Spike Guardipee Scott Rogers Dustin Bird Jim Cole Sam Bird and Carole Jackson at this years finals maybe next year.The 2003 INFR is it in the same location? again nice job on the web-site and best of luck in the next season to all competitors. Mojo
CommentsDan and Carol from Kansas City, The last we heard about Doug Fish's condition, was that he was doing better and is in recovery and he plans to start riding bulls as soon as he can. He has been in our prayers. Hope this helps. Editor/IndianRodeonews.com
Commentshas anyone heard any updates on doug fish's health? he is recovering from a fractured skull with serebral spinal cord fluid draining from his ear and throat, last i heard. i would like to know more info on how he is doing if anybody knows. thanks. dan and carol, kansas city
CommentsCongratulations to the cowboy and cowgirl of the year. Along with all the other nominees that were nominated you all are Indian role models. Every one of you set an example that was very appreciated especially by the people who visit IRN most importantly to the fans who voted, which may have gotten a little out of hand but we all need to understand that anyone who rodeos is a winner in a respectable matter. This site is a website designed particularly for viewers to keep up with what’s current in Rodeo News. Lets not abuse that purpose and go on with our business and of course that is to do what we love to do, RODEO. Keep up the great work with providing us with the information that is very accommodating to your viewers. Brooklynn- Albuquerque, New Mexico
CommentsI would like to commend Wiley Peterson on his rides at CT. He has come a long way since our High School Rodeo's, here in SE Idaho. He is Sho-Ban member, and all of us here at Fort Hall are very proud of Wiley. He has made a name for all Natives in Indian Country. We all pray for him in his riding and his travels. From a long time fan-Lee Dixey.
CommentsCongratulations to Henny Bruisedhead for winning the Cowgirl of the Year. She has been one to always have a smile on her face and have the time to visit with you. Good Luck to you in the 2003 rodeo year and see you on the road.
CommentsHey this is a cool site on Indian Rodeo news that going around the country! It is very sad to see a lot of natives running down Emily Bell from the great Fort Belknap Indian Reservation home of the Gros Ventre & Assiniboine Tribes of Montana! Emily is one great role model for our young girls of our REZ! After our REZ found out about Emily in the race of Indian Cow Girl, our REZ totally supported her and logged on to this cool site (www.indianrodeonews.com) about our proud Indian Cow Boys & Cow Girls that can compete against the world has to offer! Yes Emily from Fort Belknap Agency, Montana has about 5,000 members of our two Tribes that support her! Yes I will sign my name unlike many that made rude comments towards Emily! Signed Dean L. Stiffarm e-mail stiffarm_dean@hotmail.com Way to go Emily were proud of YA!
CommentsOk, folks, we closed the polls!! All cowgirls who were nominated will recieve a award along with the winner. Each and every one of you are Cowgirl's of the year, this includes the men who were nominated. Because of the issues, we are very sorry to the cowgirls who were nominated that you had to be subjected to such behavior. We never intended the poll to become such a competition, it was to allow readers to interact with the site and give recognition to the nominees. And most important, we hoped to interview the nominees, so that when the youth visit our site, they can read POSITIVE stuff about the cowboys and cowgirls. Remember, God our Creator, wants us all to respect each other, we are Indians, we should be proud of who we are, take lessons from these men and women out there in the rodeo arena, in the sport of Indian Rodeo, we are competitive, but we are also, brothers and sisters. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsHey Emily! This is Liana. I agree with the other observers. People just need to let this be. I had the pleasure of getting to know you this past summer, and you are a great rider and friend. And from what I know of you, you never talk or wish bad on anyone. You also have alot of friends and supporters out their along with everyone else. I know what you must be feeling, but hang in there and don't let any of these things that people are saying about you get you down. Good luck in the rest of the voting. Liana if you get this e-mail me back @ nanners_12@hotmail.com
CommentsAll of the comments about the Cowgirl of the year made me think of this quote I heard and I thought it might make people think before they make their comments. "Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people." Please lets not abuse the IRN guestbook. It is a privilege that they have provided to us to get in touch with the Native community. It would be a shame if they had to remove it from their web page due to people not being able to hold back their negative comments. IRN is doing there best to make sure the voting is legitimate. Let's not make any more comments that could dishearten these cowgirls. Thanks IRN.
CommentsI AGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO SAID WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THESE LADIES, THEY ARE OUR NATIVE SISTERS, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE COW GIRL OF FOREVER, IN 365 DAYS, ITS ALL OVER SO WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?????????
Commentsget more of the youth into these rodeos
Commentswould all of you PLEASE, stop all this !@#*$%^t about the girls, I mean come on, for gods shakes, they are our people ABORIGINALS,and we should be supportive and very proud whether they are american or canadians,it doesn't matter who wins or loses, because that's what it's all about, in rodeos, you win or you lose. So every one once again, be honest on your votes and be grateful these are our ladies!!!! from; canadian
CommentsHow has Emily's votes raised again, and the cowboys #'s are the same. Just wondering.
CommentsHeidi B from CT, Thank you so much for informing readers on how the PBR event with Wiley and Mike, we'll add your comments in our Indian Pro Bull riders section. We appreciate you for letting us know. Editor/IndianRodeonews.com
CommentsWe are still waiting for the faxed rodeo results from San Carlos and faxed information from AIPRCA.... Also, Indian Rodeo News has learned there was a tragic accident in Montana last week, a Indian Rodeo cowboy lost his life in that accident, we cannot release any names but prayers will be needed for folks up in Crow. We'll make some calls to find out about the delay with San Carlos rodeo results. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsHowdy everyone, I appreciate somebody taking the time to update us with result on the various Indian Rodeo's. Even better to have some place to find entry information. Thank You! Oh and to all the WSIRA members, I sent out the nomination ballots for the 2003 Board of Directors. You should be getting them by the end of the week 11/22/2002. So if you have someone in mind to nominate please let them know that you will be nominating them. Good luck to those of you that are entering the rodeo in Laughlin, NV. This is a really good site, Jackie Jim, WSIRA
CommentsIRN, Are we going to see the results to the Veteran's day rodeo held down in Arizona?? Waiting patiently. Thank you..
CommentsThere are extremely few rodeos that come to CT, especially any with native contestants so I thought I would pass along an update from this past weekend's PBR event I was able to attend. The PBR kicked off it's 2003 Bud Light Series tour at the Mohegan Sun Casino arena in Uncasville, CT. Both Mike Collins and Wiley Petersen competed in this event. On Saturday in the 1st go-round, Mike was bucked off Teague & Davis' Skinner after a heartbreaking 7.8 seconds. Wiley rode Tony Sharp's Snake for an 81.5 point ride. On Sunday during the 2nd go-round, Mike was bucked off Mark Reed's Sin City on a 3.9 second ride. Wiley rode Double J Rodeo's Firewater for an 83 point score, giving him 164.5 before the championship round. Unfortunately, Wiley was just a few points shy of making the top 15 (Chris shivers took the championship with an incredible 95 point ride on Clayton's Pet). I commend both Mike & Wiley on their efforts, talent and sportsmanship; they had some tough competition! I wish them and all the other riders both the best of luck & best of health in all their upcoming events. Blessings to all! Heidi B. - Durham, CT
CommentsGreetings Native Cowboys and Cowgirls and the staff of IndianRodeoNews.com I was going to leave a compliment in this guest book, as a web-designer - I can recognize a good website and I would like to compliment you on the design. I didn't realize that there was so much bickering regarding this Cowgirl/Cowboy voting. I do not know why I am surprised. My family and I have not competed in Indian Rodeos for several years for the sheer fact that there is always a heavy amount of bickering. It's amazing that all of us Indians can argue with the "white man" about taking our land, or discrimination, we watch all the Indian Movies and listen to the Pow-wow music striving to be real authentic Indians and then we feast on eachother instead of supporting one another. If we can't get along over a stupid cowboy/cowgirl vote it's not wonder we live on reservations and share this land with every different nationality of the world. Don't get my wrong, I think the vote was a fantastic idea. I was more than happy to participate and I am not ashamed to say that I voted for Liana Tom and Preston Williams. I chose these two candidates because I know both of them personally and I know they have a strong dedication to rodeo. I grew up with both of them as kids and I think it is commendable that they still continue to participate in Indian Rodeos. I met both Liana and Preston at Indian Rodeos when we were kids and those friendships are life-long friendships, which is the true spirit of Indian Rodeo. But the comments in this guest book are rediculous. Many of the comments are the simple, jealous comments. Especially the comments made to Emily Bell. I have no idea who Emily is, but I know the comments like the following are bitter and un-called for. COPIED DIRECTLY FROM THIS GUESTBOOK "geeze emily you must have a fast computer, you hvae went from 93 to 223 votes in about only 2 hours goin up about 5 votes a minute... Geeze, Emily. I guess you have alot of friends because you just went fromm 2400 to 2591 votes in like five minutes. You are so shy, it doesnt even seem like this many people know you. But I guess Montana is a big state and people are just spred out right..." The sarcasm and comments did nothing positive and just proved that who ever has taken the time to make these comments is just petty and ignorant. Above all that, people making these remarks do not leave their name. It never said it had to be anonymous. My guess is this person never would've had the courage to tell Emily Bell this to her face. Getting off my soap box, because I really do not care about this poll. A suggestion for next year's vote might be to give Indian Rodeo Members only the chance to vote. Give them an ID and Login and only allow Card-holding members the option to vote. Just like we used to vote for arena officers through the mail. I think only the members should be allowed to vote (once) because they are paying participants who attend and compete in the actual events and have had the opportunity to observe the nominated contestants at several different events. Once again, the website is fantastic. Whomever the designer is, you did an excellent job. Many hours of hardwork and design are put into this. I am sorry your guestbook is full of bickering a drama. Sincerely, Keta Cline-Magers Pendleton, Oregon
Commentsway to go Emily!!!!!! im a big fan she really inspires me. thanks Emily

CommentsIt's great to see Emily Bell ahead in the polls! You go girl! Should the polls and final outcome continue in her favor, the INFR couldn't have a more deserving "Cowgirl of the Year"!
CommentsThank you Indian Rodeo News for letting your readers know about Jackie and her terrible accident it is appreciated to know that Indian rodeo people will be praying for her Red Kellie SJC CA
CommentsMy 12 year old daughter would like to know where is everyones sportsmanship? Please stop fighting over the poll all of the cowgirls nominated have rodeo fans all over the US and Canada if someone out there misused the poll then point the finger at them not the girls nominated I think the web site owners did a good job to stop the person who was doing wrong with the voting so stop the remarks about these girls and think about sportsmanship the girls nominated must feel bad and not want to be on the poll now can't blame them or the people who own this wonderful web site Peace be with you! Jessie and Kaitlin from Arizona
CommentsI watched Emily Bells votes rise rapidly yesterday, but it did not surprise me at all. Emily is a popular young Cowgirl who represents the Assiniboine and Gros-Ventre tribes of Ft. Belknap, Montana very well. My concern is that she is not cheated out of any legit votes. As far as NASTY comments go, lets keep them to ourselves and keep this fun and clean. Just sign me off as a #1 fan of Emilys. Thanks
Commentsas a matter of fact Emily Bell does have a lot of support from her home and all the votes she recieved were genuine and sincere from everyone that voted. The disrespectful comments made and unfair role back of votes were inappropriate. And why didn't anyone have anything to say to Liana Tom as her votes were rising rapidly?
CommentsI would like to see pictures of the contestants along with close ups/bios...like you see for the pbr.you know people buy posters and stuff maybe indian posters would sell?
Commentsthere is only one alberta cowgirl on the poll rite? and I wish the best of luck to henny bruisedhead. cindy from alberta.

CommentsHi, DOES
CommentsGood Luck, Lizzie Dixey, in the run for Indian Cowgirl of the year. You represent our people really well in what ever you do!! Also good luck to Pace Broncho, your a great competitor, and role model!! #1 Sho-Ban Fan!!
CommentsJoel Maker won the 2001 IFR Team Roper Header championship last year in Oklahoma City. Check out his bio @ http://www.iprarodeo.com/champions/header.htm IRN maybe you should interview him?
CommentsHay Y'all: Awesome site.. I think its a great idea especially for rodeo associations and clubs to improve their rodeos. I attended the INFR this year in support to my nephew from Oregon. I felt that Saboba CA. was wonderful in reference to the weather, But the location and distance for the motel accomodations would have been much nicer if they were a bit closer... Not everyone is used to driving crazy as those Califonians (No Offense) They jus plain dr. crazy down there... any way.. I also think JOEL MAKER from Oklahoma should be in there also ... PRCA roper/Many times INFR Qualifier! GOOD LUCK OREGONIANS! Liana Tom and Clinton Bruised Head Carmela S. - wakeeya@yahoo.com

CommentsI have a question I hope someone can help me. I'd like to know a little more about the new Miss NNRCA. you can email me at: get_a_cowgirl_attitude@yahoo.com Thank You!
CommentsIRN, I enjoyed the article on Tom Reeves. Those of you who haven't voted for Indian Cowboy of the year check him out. He is a true role model who has rode with the "Toughs" and won. He has shown me that an Indian can win the NFR if that is what you dream is. Thanks Again IRN.
CommentsWe just spoke to the chairman at the San Carlos rodeo office, they are working on the score sheets and will be faxing them to us hopefully by tomorrow. Once we get them, we'll post them on the San Carlos results page. Thank you for your patience Indian rodeo fans. Gina/Editor Indian Rodeo News
CommentsThe Tom Reeves interview link is now up on the home page, check it out. San Carlos results: We called and are waiting for a call back. We will keep trying. Have a good day rodeo fans Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsWe here at IRN.Com, are trying to get the San Carlos, Az, results posted as soon as possible, sorry for the wait. We have waiting for our contact to reply. Thanks again, IRN.Com
CommentsJust wondering when the results from the San Carlos Veterens Rodeo will be posted?
CommentsHey IRN- this is Liana Tom and I was just going to ask you to correct the poll results, because it was looking a little stupid from my view. But it looks like you beat me to it. Are the indian cowgirls really a favorite? Every where I have been it has been for the cowboys and that is cool. But how could the cowgirls votes be in the 400-2000's and the cowboys votes in the 200's. And who ever was trying to make this a competition over me and Emily Bell, I hope it stops. Because it was an embarrasement for me to get on the computer and see that many votes for the cowgirls and hardly any for the cowboys. I would just like to thank who ever nominated me and voted for me. But who ever voted so much I hope this is a lesson for you in the future, and I hope you are embarrased about what you did. Thanks again Liana Tom
CommentsI think it would be a good idea to vote only on cowboys/cowgirls from the INFR regions, with no more than 2 of each from the 12 regions. Maybe now is the time to set some ground rules for nominating. Require that a nominee's contribution to Indian rodeo be provided along with nominee's name. One nominee per IP user. Since it's a cowboy/cowgirl of the year, it should be current member competitors. The other outstanding people should be submitted to the hall of fame. Get organized before opening nominations. Another thing you might consider is a rookie of the year. Hope this helps. Too bad about mis-use. Some people will try ANYTHING. - Oregon observer
CommentsCowgirl Poll has been looked in to there was a issue with sessions served protocols, we have recieved some eroneous votes and protocols mis-use, we can track the IP users who were doing this, FYI. The people nominated in the poll were nominated through the guest book entries, not all nominees compete in INFR region rodeos, some rodeo in the PRCA, Canadian Pro Circuit and AIPRCA rodeos and are great athletes. If readers want a seperate Cowboy and Cowgirl poll from INFR regions then we can have a seperate poll. Only if voters will be honest and not try to trick the sessions served. The nominees may not have anything to do with voters who try to trick the poll to give their favorite cowboy or cowgirl more votes. We will have the poll fixed so you can only vote one time. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsHow do we go about looking at the results of the voting?
CommentsNov. 13, 2002 i think this is a good website and provides alot of good info. maybe a suggestion on showing more rodeo photos if possible?
CommentsDo you really think that you diserve cowgirl of the year by cheating again your votes went up like by a 100 in the last couple of minutes. Mabey you should e-mail the editor and with draw your name from the poll. I think that people are getting suspicious. If you were really honest that is what you would do.
CommentsI think this vote is getting stupid. How can those girls get that many votes in a short period of time.When everybody elses votes are not that much. How can only 2 girls be up so high.That doesn't seem right at all.I think they should do this over again, and the nominations too. Because there is not a cowboy and cowgirl from each region in there. Every body elses votes seems acurate but two girls.
CommentsGeeze, Emily. I guess you have alot of friends because you just went fromm 2400 to 2591 votes in like five minutes. You are so shy, it doesnt even seem like this many people know you. But I guess Montana is a big state and people are just spred out right.

Commentswould if you are voting for a younger generation who doesn't know how to use a computer, but still looks up to some of these girls? Do I have to log off and on every time I want to vote?
CommentsThe Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, would like to wish Liana Tom the best of luck in the polls. Here all of her supporters voted for her, as well as her friends and teachers at the high school. Good luck and keep up your great work Warm Springs
CommentsWe will take a look at the sessions served from the Poll. Note, the site on a daily basis has been recieving over 15 thousand page views, so there are alot of people using the site. The Poll is coded so that you can only vote one time for cowboy and cowgirl, per session served. We can track to see if a protocol has been mis-used. Indian Rodeo News.com
Commentsi think it's rediculous to see the # of votes for some of the girls. how can a website only get about 2 or 3 hundred hits a day, but some of the contestants are getting over 2000 votes. come on this is rediculous do they not know that their votes can be traced????? ha1 what a scheme. Liz in idaho
CommentsI think that they should have a someone nominate a cowboy and cowgirl from every region because there is not every region on here
CommentsWonderful source of rodeo information for rodeo fans. Congratulations for your contribution. Thanks a bunch. bjc bjcoho@citlink.net
CommentsGreat Site Love to see it. Thanks for the visit. Jacque "Cherokee" Cavalier jacque@humpsnhorns.com
Commentsgeeze emily you must have a fast computer, you hvae went from 93 to 223 votes in about only 2 hours goin up about 5 votes a minute
Commentsemily bell you must have a lot of fans to get 100 votes in less than 20 minutes. all i have to say is wow
CommentsI think Shawn BestSr is an awesome cowboy, as far as i am concerned nobody in Indian Rodeo could ever compare to him.He is the Ultimate Cowboy of Indian Rodeo. At finals he rode hurt and still won a lot of rounds.He rode rough stock when he could hardly walk. Down at finals he had to be helped out of the arena, but he still made really wicked rides. I think this cowboy truly deserves this award for cowboy of the year. From your #1 Rodeo Fan from Canada
CommentsI don't think that a regional poll would be necessary, because you already have almost one person from every reagion except for the cowgirls, and who ever nominated everyone else could have nominated someone from their region.
CommentsTo answer the reader's question about Tahnee and being Miss Indian Rodeo America 2002, there are alot of people asking the same question, Indian Rodeo News, has no affiliation with Rodeo Best or Tahnee. We suggest our readers who have questions or concerns about Tahnee and Rodeo Best, to contact them. We do support Indian Rodeo queens, and we encourage all Regions and rodeo associations to hold a queen contest so we will see more Indian rodeo queens riding in the grand entries next year at our rodeos, and we hope to see a pageant held next year with INFR, but to do this, it starts with the regions and local Indian rodeo associations to pick a queen support her, so we can get the Miss Indian Rodeo pageant going again. There are so many beautiful and talented Indian women out there who are capable of being a national rodeo queen. Editor/IndianRodeoNews.com
CommentsVeterans Day rodeo results.....we are calling today to get them. :) Editor/Indian RodeoNews.com
CommentsThe Cowboy and Cowgirl poll will close next monday November 18. There has been a suggestion to hold another poll with nominations from each region. What do you all think?
CommentsIRN, Outstanding job on getting the complete Fort McDowell rodeo results with the payout. I like to haul my horses that far if the payout is good so if the information is provided I well determine if I well go. It looks like Fort McDowell paid out really well therefore it well be one that I well put on my calendar for the 2003 Indian rodeo year. Are you working on getting the Veterans day rodeo results as well? This is what I like to look at when it comes to Rodeo Information. Thanks Again.
CommentsI want to know who this Tawneey Gal is, Miss Rodeo American. I've never heard of her until now. Is she new to the Circuit? I've been rodeoing a long time now, and i've never seen her ride. She seem pretty shy as well. I would like for her to be more happier about her duties and be a rodeo queen, you can't be shy and just sittin in the stands. Rodeo Royalty do their job in the rodeo arena and then their PR from the grounds as well. All i can say is good luck to her...Ted Reeves
CommentsI think that this a great site. I was just wondering when the cowboy/cowgirl poll was going to close?

CommentsI would like to nominate Koty Brugh for Cowboy of the year. Due to his talent in the Bull Riding and Bareback Riding. He's going to be a great role model for younger Indian Cowboys coming up. Plus he has a little one of his own on the way. Lots of Love from Fl!!!
CommentsI would like to nominate Byron Bruisedhead for Cowboy of the Year. Byron competes in multiple rodeo events and is a dedicated sportsman. Byron, like many in his family, has been involved in rodeo most of his life. He always gives his best and he never thinks twice about helping his fellow competitors. He has worked hard for many years and has alot of talent to share with others willing to learn. Despite his many awards, he's very humble and extremely personable and puts his all into every event. His hard work, dedication and confidence make him the best kind of role model for the younger generation of cowboys and cowgirls, as well as all native youth. Byron's a great person and a great athlete and deserves to be not only considered as a nominee, but to receive the title of Cowboy of the Year as well! You Go Byron! from your CT Fans!
CommentsHey rodeo fans, I would love to nominate Koty Brugh as Cowboy of the year. He is a very talented cowboy who has a long way to go in rodeo. I think in the upcoming years he will have alot of world titles. He has the heart of a champion and portrays the qualities of a real champion because of how hard he works. I can tell by watching him, he loves to rodeo. He would be a great role model for younger peers, because he has all the confidence in the world, and not too many youngsters have that qualitity to believe that they can do it. So they can learn from him. Besides he's a STUD and he's my favorite cowboy.
CommentsThe Hitch - I suggest that Member or PROFILE information for this area be set up something like a yahoo profile. It is a long tedious process selecting all those choices in the fields, and in the end it doesn't make sense grammaticly. And, smoking, children, food, religion, music, be suggestions that a person can include when they give discriptions about themselves. I hope this makes sense...
CommentsI would like to vote for Lizzie Dixey for Cowgirl of the year; she is young, energetic, competitive and has been rodeoing throughout Indian country. I also agree that Pace Broncho should be Cowboy of the Year 2002; he is a strong competitor as well. My vote goes to these two Fort Hallywood competitors. Rodeo fan and no. 1 film crew
CommentsThe Pendleton Round up is airing on ESPN today. FYI, believe today is the final day of the Canadian Finals? Enjoy Veterans Day tomorrow and see the San Carlos Rodeo results to be posted on Wednesday 11/13 Have a good sunday folks Editor/Indian Rodeo News.com
CommentsI was viewing the HITCH profile submissions page, and there are no fields for Canadian information for perspective Canadian members. For example the Zip/Postal code field. Just thought I would let you know.... Sonya
CommentsWe would like to nominate Lizzie Dixey, of Fort Hall Idaho, she is a great roper. We watch her compete all over in Indian Country, she is our favorite cowgirl, and roper. Lizzie grew up around rodeo, and we know she would truly represent the Cowgirl of the year title. Even though she is young & SINGLE this cowgirl can RODEO!!! LOL :) Her biggest fans, all over Rodeo Country...

CommentsJust some comments on the Lawrence Crawler family from Alberta. They are a TRUE rodeo family! Hats off to Tracy, Colleen, Jay, and Troy. Of course Lawrence especially since he instilled this sense of sportsmanlike competition in his family. If there was an award given for RODEO FAMILY of the year, my vote would go to this family. It doesn't stop there either. Eliot and Olivia are good competitors too. This family works several regions, at least five. The ropers work UST, canadian pro, Lawrence does senior pro in addition to Indian rodeo. He has passed that family tradition and know-how on to the younger ones in the family. Also he loves your viagra jokes. Thanks, you have a great website. Keep pluggin' away. - #1 Oregon Fan
CommentsHowdy from the northwest! Nice to see current info on results and upcoming shows. Keep up the good work!

CommentsThe person who we need to confirm the Ft. McDowell complete round results is now gone for the day, and so unfortunately, all of us, will have to wait until next Tuesday until they get back before we are allowed to post all Ft. McDowell results. Sorry Readers, we know how frustrating this is, but we don't want to post incorrect results. This is why we have this site set up for rodeo secretaries to enter their own results using our web site. Alot of rodeo associations do not know this feature is available and so we hope in the future this will be used more often for all of us to get the results quicker! Editor/Indian Rodeo News.com
CommentsThe average results have been posted for 2 days, but the long go/short go we are confirming first. Thank you for your patience
CommentsWe are waiting for their OK to post them, they had some corrections on our fax to make and we are trying to contact them to confirm the corrections then we'll post them asap.....

CommentsI would like to nominate Myron Johnson to "Cowboy Bull Rider of the Year" He love to bull ride, helps youth who wants to bull ride, not only volunteers with youth rodeos and donates his gear to kids who don't have gear to ride with. I think he would be an excellent person for the JOB. Sally Smith New Town ND

Commentsway to go irn keep up the great work! I would just like to say that Kenton Randles benefit held on saturday in calgary was a huge success raising more than $90,000. BEST OF LUCK KENTON Shawna from calgary alta
CommentsHow about the all-around INFR champion Clarence Gilham. He also is a multi-event cowboy that excels in more than just Indian rodeo. He currently is in the lead for the all-around race in the Northern Rodeo Association. Also I believe he is 2nd in the bareback and 1st in the saddle bronc. He can bull dog a little and swing a rope once in awhile. Along with Indian rodeo and the NRA, he competes and is successful in the PRCA. On top of all of that, he is a really nice person that would give you the shirt off his back. So I nominate Clarence Gilham of Browning, Mt. Your INFR All Around Champion.
CommentsI would like to nominate Clint Harry, PRCA Team Roper for Indian Cowboy of the Year. Clint qualified for the US Smokeless Tobacco Finals in Dallas, TX where he placed 3rd. He had four ESPN Rodeo appearances this past summer, and remained in the top 25 for the PRCA Heeling Standings. Way cool for the little Northern Paiute boy from Nevada! Preston Williams deserves the nomination as well. Way cool you two Northern Paiute boys!!
CommentsWe would like to nominate Shawn Best, Sr. for Indian Cowboy of the Year. There is not too many cowboys that can work 3 rough stock events and qualify for the INFR year after year. We are very proud of him. Charlie, Hattie, Heidi and Bodie PS - Uncle Shawn, Bodie misses Porky!!

CommentsI would like to nominate Koty Brugh for cowboy of the year. He travles not only the Indian Rodeo's,but to PBR and Pro Rodeo's too. He spends countless hours away from home doing what he loves best other then hunting.That would be rodeo. I know how much hard work he puts into he's rodeoing. I know first hand,just as his family would back in North Dakota.
CommentsI would like to nominate Liana Tom for cowgirl of the year. She usually does well at all of the rodeos she goes to and always walks out of the arena with a million dollar smile even if she doesn't do what she would like. She could also be a role model to younger kids for her accomplishments inside the rodeo arena and out. Even if she is so young. This rodeo season she even traveled back to S.Dakota from Oregon to some of their rodeos. That just shows how much she loves and supports the sport. She is also a very dedicated officer of Western States. From a WSIRA Fan!
CommentsI would also like to nominate Emily Bell for cowgirl of the year, she is a very nice girl and I think she would represent it well and she can make some awesome runs. North Dakota
CommentsIndian Rodeo needs someone with so many potentials to represent the Native American people, who not only loves to rodeo but to be a role model to many cowboys and cowgirls, who will be able to provide teachings for younger children in the sport of rodeo, and develop character and sportsmanship in our cowboys and cowgirls for today and tomorrow. I nominate Clint Bruisehead for Cowboy of the year. Mr. Bruisehead has travel far and near to represent the Indian people especially representing himself here in the southwest. Mr. Bruisehead is from up north and has shown his many abilities to the rodeo fans here in the southern region. He is not only an all around but he shows a lot of potential to recognize our Indian Cowboys and Cowgirls. Not only a role model to the sport of Rodeo but as a father and a husband. He deserves Cowboy of the year. Thank you for you time. Jo*- New Mexico
CommentsI would like to nominate Mr. Clinton Bruisedhead for Cowboy of the Year. He's accomplished so much in life to come this far and shows his Sportsmanship at any rodeo he is at. Clinton is an All Around Cowboy and he shows alot of potential and dedication in what he loves doing best and this Rodeo!! He is a role model for the younger generation and also a Father. He travels countless miles that goes unnoticed and I think he deserves to be Cowboy of the Year. I am a rodeo fan of Clinton because he is my Dad and he makes me proud. Caycee(Future Cowboy), Hobbema, Alberta, Canada Hats off to you Clinton!!!!

CommentsHI ALL YOU RODEO FANS, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE KOTY BRUGH FOR COWBOY OF THE YEAR. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HIM AND READING ABOUT THIS FINE YOUNG BULLRIDING AND BAREBACK CHAMPION. THE REASON I FEEL THIS YOUNG MAN SHOULD RECEIVE THIS AWARD IS NOT ONLY FOR THE TALENT HE EXEMPLIFIES, BUT FOR THE OUTSTANDING PERSON HE IS. I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF WATCHING THIS YOUNG CHAMPION AT CROW FAIR WHERE AFTER WINNING THE BULLRIDING HE WENT UP TO ACCEPT HIS WELL DESERVED AWARDS, HE TURNED AROUND AND GAVE HIS PRIZE BUCKLE (HIS TROPHY) TO THIS LITTLE BOY THAT WAS NAMED AFTER THIS CHAMPION BULLRIDER. THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. I KNOW WE WILL HEAR MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS GREAT COWBOY!!! KEEP UP THE WINNINGS BRUGH AND RIDE HARD!!!
CommentsThis is becoming a great website! My nomination goes out for Ed Holyan for Cowboy of the year and I second for Carole Jackson Holyan for cowgirl of the year. They both are very competitive in rodeo and are great role models for the sport.

CommentsI would like to nominate Koty Brugh for Cowboy of the year. He's a cowboy with alots of style in both the BareBack and Bull Riding. I think one day we will see him at the NFR or the PBR Finals. He could be a awesome role model for young bull riders or bare back riders coming up in the future.

CommentsI would like to nominate Tom Reeves. If a Indian cowboy can win the National Finals Rodeo World Saddle Bronc Riding Championship and Qualify for the National Finals Rodeo 17 times and he is on his way to the NFR 2002. He deserves to be the Indian Cowboy of the year. He has shown what true dedication and heart it takes to be the best that you can be and to never give up on your dreams.
CommentsI just found the site today. I didn't know it existed before. It was great, something that's been needed for awhile. Keep up the good work. I nominate Preston Williams for Native American cowboy of the year. He's a great role model for the young. He does not drink or do drugs and he loves helping the kids. Not to mention he is very good at what he does.
CommentsGood Nominations readers!! Keep em' comming soon we will be voting on each nomination. IRN.com
CommentsI would like to nominate Koty Brugh for cowboy of the year, because I think he's an awesome cowboy. And he's very good at what he does, because I watched him ride at Crow Fair, every year that he's won.
CommentsI'm nominating Koty Brugh for my favorite cowboy. He's won Crow Fair in 1998, 2001 and 2002. He made it to the INFR this year in the Bare Back Riding.He had the highest scored ride through all the perfs. Which was an 81.He's only been riding bare backs for a year and a half. He's a awsome bullrider too.
CommentsIndian Rodeo needs someone with so many potentials to represent the Native American people, who not only loves to rodeo but to be a role model to many cowboys and cowgirls, who will be able to provide teachings for younger children in the sport of rodeo, and develop character and sportsmanship in our cowboys and cowgirls for today and tomorrow. I nominate Clint Bruisehead for Cowboy of the year. Mr. Bruisehead has travel far and near to represent the Indian people especially representing himself here in the southwest. Mr. Bruisehead is from up north and has shown his many abilities to the rodeo fans here in the southern region. He is not only an all around but he shows a lot of potential to recognize our Indian Cowboys and Cowgirls. Not only a role model to the sport of Rodeo but as a father and a husband. He deserves Cowboy of the year. Thank you for you time. Jo*- New Mexico

CommentsI have been viewing your web site since the INFR this year. I think that it is great! I was able to keep up with each performance and also was able to view the champions with their saddles and prizes. It is better than the official INFR web site, that has not been updated in some time.

Commentshi i think your web site is good because ppl can't find news and info on the web about rodeos untill now
CommentsHello everyone out there on the res. I am a 12 year old rodeo fan and a little of bareback rider. This is an interesting site for other Indian Cowboy surfers. I miss the smell of Fry Bread in California when we went there. But, It was interesting to visit the Mission Indians. Which I wrote about the tribe in a class essay. Believe me, I heard that Ted Nuce, former professional bullrider was from the area. All in All, I had a gread time. My observation with the last couple of years, the INFR seems to be going down in its annual event (poor rating). It deter with alot of disappointment and bad publicity as far fiancially. Thank you for reading my comments. Bob Smallcanyon of Flagstaff, AZ
CommentsJust like to share a little background information on AIPRCA. The association was previousely AIRCA whom broke away from the Indian National Final Rodeo several years ago. The association was the front runner and brought INFR today. However, add to the Indian Sportmanship hightlights the World Finals. Hopefully, the organization includes the South American Indian to the finals. This event has been around for the last three years. Last year the event happen in Holbrook, Arizona. I believe they will add more entertainment to the attraction of the Indian Rodeo. Hopefully they include a Pow Wow. For the other traveler and fan to attends other entertainments. I think we all should pool together and make this strong for all Indian Nation.
CommentsThank you UIRA competitor and stock contractor for giving us this much needed information.
CommentsLooking at the poster from the AIPRCA Indian World Finals. The entry fees are $300 per event and the purse is $5000 added per event. $10000 for the team roping. Entries are open now and must be postmarked no later than November 15th. Hope this helps. Take care. UIRA competitor and stock contractor
CommentsNot long after the completion of INFR 2002, I commented that I would like to see ALL the contestants names posted on your web site as it was as much an honor to qualify as it was to win. A few days later, all names were posted. I check back every few days and am greeted with more news and information, a degree of professionalism that INFRODEO.com never acheived. The most important thing about your site is that it's not just about rodeo. You not only provide an outlet for our young cowboys and cowgirls but also to our young aspiring actors and musicians. Young native people need places on the web that will continue to feed their dreams and inspire them. Your site provides the mental nutrition needed to awaken these dreams. Instead of saying "I wish I could do that" perhaps a young native person somewhere is saying "Hey, I CAN do that..." Everyone at Indian Rodeo News is doing a fantastic job, keep it up!
CommentsI really enjoy this site it is informative about Indian Rodeo and I'm glad there is a site to know how other Indians are doing in there careers , I was a member back in the 80's my tribe use to have a pretty good rodeo in stroud oklahoma back in the 70's and 80's better known as the Sac & Fox rodeo , they just have a bullclassic now and thats pretty much it , my parents help design that arena back then , I use to look forward to that rodeo , I've been out of the sence for awhile living in colorado working for the forest service , but I hope to get back in to it before I get to old I'm in my 30's , My father use to work for the circle A rodeo company (Guthrie Ok.) Andrew E. Tsoodle

CommentsGreat Web Site! I would like to see more rodeo photos and more up to date ones. Other than that its great. Miss NNRCA 2002-2003 Meriel Rae Goklish
CommentsAwesome suggestion. Yes!! We have had many people ask for polls, so we'll get going on this, and 1st create a poll asking people to vote for to see Indian Jr Rodeo world titles implemented to the Indian National Finals rodeo. We'll let you all know when it's up and going. Great suggestion, we are going to call on all Indian Rodeo associations to seriously look at hosting a Youth Rodeo School in their area and then host a Indian Jr rodeo for them to compete in. There was a youth rodeo school held up in Saskatchewan this year and it was almost canceled. But they managed to get it going and it was a success. We believe the PIRA region sponsored this school. All Indian rodeo associations, tribes and bands need to step up and focus on giving opportunities to our children, especially to the kids who do not have horses or a way to get involved. As one reader wrote in the Rodeo Forum, it's the youth, that is where it all begins.....and that is very true! We'll get booking on the polls and let us know if you all have any more poll suggestions. Thanks again for visiting the site. Editor/Indian Rodeo News
CommentsCan you possibley add a poll to see how many people would like to see the JR's competing at the Indian National Finals Rodeo...
CommentsI am strong advocate and promote the sport of Indian rodeo. I think that some of our people need to envision a need to provide a training ground for younger children in the sport of rodeo, and enhance a building of character and sportsmanship in our young cowboy and cowgirl athletes. We need to stress the need for responsibility, cooperation and sportsmanship, as this enables our First Nation people to develop positive attitudes and to become productive individuals in their communities. Some of our young members have gone on to compete in high school rodeos through High School Rodeo Associations. Our Indian Rodeo organizations paves way for many of our youth to achieve higher education through rodeo scholarships. Many of our Fir | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
