Now we move to Category 4, which is another miscellaneous category of sorts. Thanks for bearing with me through this.
Category 4 — Groups
# 1 1491s
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.
v.
# 16 Borough of Jim Thorpe
Won NAGPRA case in the Third Circuit. Don’t be fooled. They’re not NAGPRA fans.
# 8 Indian country pot growers
Don’t get too excited. They haven’t won anything yet.
v.
# 9 Cobell settlement beneficiaries
Feds are looking for you. Seriously, this time they want to give you money.
# 4 Gray wolves
Brother ma’iingan won one this year. I called it. Not really.
v.

Wait, we already covered this under Eric Holder.
The real # 13 Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
# 5 Cohen Handbook
Going strong after all these years, maybe more than ever. Cited 27 times by federal and state courts in 2014. Holy moly!
v.
# 12 New Mexico state government
Won several important Indian law cases this year: got the Part 291 procedures invalidated, against Grand River Enterprises, got a criminal conviction affirmed where the non-Indian had originally been arrested by tribal, bunch of other stuff probably.
