JERI'SWORLDCADD O P OT T E R J E REL DINE RED CORN

K A D O H E A D P O T

Raised in Colony, Oklahoma, Jeri Redcorn worked with her seven brothers and sisters on her Caddo

father’s cotton farm. Jeri felt close to the earth, sometimes too close, crawling in the rows of dirt, chopping

and pulling cotton. The hard work made her appreciate the women who dug clay to make the pots that

became her passion. After seeing Caddo vessels in a museum, so compelling were these beautiful pieces,

Jeri began a search to reclaim her history. As there was no active potter in the Caddo tribe, Jeri began

to teach herself; thus began her journey to rediscover the art of Caddo clay. “Somehow the ancient pots

spoke…not in so many words, but in ideas, in feelings, in shapes and forms forgotten, and those marvelous

designs created in clay so long ago,” she recalls. Caddo pottery gave her an instant connection to an

RED EARTH MUSEUM & GALLERY was featured at the Oklahoma Classics thoroughbred races (p26)

and Buffalo Bash fund-raiser, held at Oklahoma City’s Remington Park Racing Casino. Four Native American artists

had an unusual media for their work: the lead ponies for the evening’s races. Their paintings conveyed traits of speed,

or protec tion, identified the horse of a leader or recalled a particular story. The power in these images lives on.

NATIONAL INDIAN TACO CHAMPIONSHIPS

PAWHUSKA

Three Osages sweptthis year’s National Indian Taco Champ­

ionship held May 21 in downtown Pawhuska, with Debra Lookout winning the top prize, while Bonnie Pratt took second and Paula Mashunkashey placed third. Their culinary creations were ranked the best out of eight contestants who sold their food while Native dancers and singers performed and artists sold their merchandise.

Lookout said she kept her entry ingredients simple for her Indian taco entry. “I make it the way I like to eat it,” she said of her taco. A licensed practical nurse, she uses lean ground beef in her cooking. Mashunkashey, who took third, calls the event a family affair in which her family returns each year to cook and compete, “Some people go camping with kids, we go to the Indian Taco Championship.” Benny Polacca, Osage News

THE FLOP

TEXAS HOLD’EM>>Each player is dealt two private cards and there are five face up shared cards on the table. The winner is the player who can make the best five-card poker hand from the seven available cards. Since the 1990’s, Texas Hold’em has become one of the most popular poker games worldwide.>Texas Hold’em is usually played with no ante, but with blinds. The player to the dealer’s left must make a “small blind” bet. The player to the left of the small blind must make a “big blind” bet. The amounts of both should be specified in advance. >The cards are shuffled and cut, and two cards are dealt down to each player, starting with the person to the dealer’s left. Players may look at their two cards and must not show them to another player. The player to the left of the big blind must either call or raise the big blind bet. The play in turn will go around the table according to poker rules. Table rules will specify any limits on the size or number of raises. >Three community cards will be dealt face up in the center of the table. This is called the flop. There is then a second betting round begun by the first player to the left of the dealer. The dealer then deals one card face up, known as the turn. There is a third betting round, where limits are doubled. The dealer deals a fifth card face up: the river. Then there is fourth and final round of high limit betting. >Players show their hands in clockwise order, beginning with the last player to bet or raise in the final betting round. Each player makes the best possible five-card poker hand from the seven available cards: the player’s two cards and the five face-up table cards, known as the board. This can be done in any combination. Are you ready to play?

River Spirit Casino was the center of the billiards

world as the game’s best female players

pocketed bank shots and jump shots at the Women’s

Professional Billiards Association 9-Ball U.S. Open.

This was the second year the event has been held at

the Muscogee (Creek) Nation casino, a cool modern

gaming and special events facility located right on

the Arkansas River in south Tulsa.

2012 U.S. OPEN CHAMPION ALLISON FISHER >>

Throughout the week’s events, fans showed up to

cheer on the amazingly-skilled women they have seen

on ESPN. Five Tulsa locals competed thanks to a last

chance qualifier held at Magoos billiards hall. The

opening round of the 64-woman tournament featured

eight tables in the center of the River Spirit poker

arena with a lone table at the center for quarterfinal,

semifinal and finals play.

Fans came to their feet as well-known names

like Allison “The Duchess of Doom” Fisher and

Jeanette “The Black Widow” Lee entered the arena

and chalked up their cues. The players returned

the love by signing photos and cue sticks after

their matches. It was like the World Series and fans

showed up from around the country. “I’m so grateful

to be standing here. It’s been a wonderful journey for

me. I played really well,” said Fisher after finishing off

her sixth U.S. Open title.

<< JEANETTE “THE BLACK WIDOW” LEE

River Spirit has the option to host the event in 2013

and it is likely to exercise that option. According to

River Spirit director of marketing Bob Dimmick, “We

are very happy with the event, the prestige and the

opportunity it creates for River Spirit on a national

stage.” –Sean Chaffin
