The Fort Shaw Basketball Team
Sho-Ban tribal member Terry Racehorse shared that her great grandmother, Minnie Burton, was a member of the Fort Shaw Girls Indian Basketball Team, world champs in 1904. Minnie is the tall girl, standing in the center. Coincidentally, Terri's stepdaughter, Paulette Jordan, is playing Minnie in an upcoming movie about the team. If Paulette is as tall as her dad, Mike, she is a good fit for the part. Terry says Paulette also bears an uncanny resemblance to Minnie.
