The Sacred Hoop Run is marked by daily prayers and other traditional ceremonies. Relay runners from each team carry their own staff with eagle feathers.

Many enroll in the tribes because of federal money and resources available only to American Indians, said Seminole-Creek enrollment clerk James Cornelius, who calls it an unfortunate situation. "In college, some people were marking the box that they were Indian to get financial assistance, and no one checked," he said.

"It's like a wildfire starting," said Jerry Bread, director of the American Indian Teacher Corps at the University of Oklahoma. "It's an awakening in Oklahoma and a beginning of a new-found pride." But Bread points out the inherent danger to extending membership to those for whom Indian ways are not a way of life. The Daily Oklahoman reported the story in Sunday's editions. "It's a dilution of our identity," he 'It's a dilution of our Jerry Bread, educator Marsha Harlan said the Cherokee Nation is adding 1,000 new members each month to its rolls. Many tribal officials point to Hollywood as the reason for the surge in membership.

The numbers are remarkable. From 1990 to 1995, the number of Oklahomans who said they were American Indians grew by 24,000, according to the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission.

The current total is 276,000. And actual tribal enrollment figures are nearly double that number. Some Oklahomans are on tribal rolls but do not check the "Native American" box on their census forms.
