Football and Frybread

By Adam Sings In The Timber

MISSOULA, Mont.—The University of Montana's American Indian Alumni Group, along with Denise Juneau's political campaign team, sponsored the tailgate during the Montana Grizzlies' football game against the Sacramento State Hornets on Oct. 18.

Despite intermittent rainfall, UM students, graduates and "Team Juneau" supporters gathered outside of Washington Grizzly Stadium for drinks, food and fun before the game.

Tailgate organizer Shelly Fyant said the alumni group often teams up with local American Indian groups to sponsor the tailgates for all the Grizzly home games.

Denise Juneau, Mandan-Hidatsa, is the Democratic candidate for Montana's State Superintendent of Public Instruction in the Nov. 4 election. She is running against Elaine Sollie Herman. Juneau won the endorsement of INDN's List, a grass-roots political organization devoted to recruiting and electing Natives to local, state and national office.
