>OKLAHOMA NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH LANGUAGE FAIR>>Every Spring, the Sam Noble Museum comes to life with the sounds of hundreds of Native language students from every corner of the state. The Oklahoma Native American Youth Language Fair gives the students and their teachers an opportunity to publicly present their languages. From 200 student participants in three categories in 2003, the fair now has 800 participants in eleven categories. If you have an interest in Native languages, this is a heartwarming event and shouldn’t be missed. >Right: Chickasaw students perform in the Grade 6-8 Large Group Song category; facing page: Anevay Greenwood (Otoe) performs in the 6th-8th Grade Individual Spoken category.

3-CARD POKER>>Have you ever played a game of Three-Card Poker? The game is gaining popularity across the nation. It’s different than traditional poker and depends more on luck than strategy. For starters, each player receives three instead of the traditional five cards, so there are no Royal Flushes, Four of a Kinds, Full Houses, or Two Pairs.>There are two games in Three Card Poker:1) Pair Plus and 2) Ante & Play. Bet on one or on both games.>

Pair PlusThe Pair Plus bet is a straight payout depending onyour hand. The dealer’s hand isn’t an issue. You’redealt a good hand–you win.>Ante and PlayThe Ante and Play game is you against the dealer.First you’ll make your initial bet, the Ante. You’llbe dealt three cards and can decide to either playor fold. Keep in mind that if you fold, you not onlylose your Ante but also lose any Pair Plus bet youmade. So think carefully. If your Pair Plus bet wonanything, you shouldn’t fold. If you decide to play,

you must raise by placing what is called the Playbet, equal to the Ante. Now you play–no raises.The dealer must qualify with at least a Queen. If the dealer does not qualify, you win even money on the Ante and the Play bet is returned. If the dealerqualifies, here’s how the payout works: if you havea better hand, you win even money on both theAnte and Play bets; if you tie, both the Ante andPlay bets push; if the dealer beats your hand, kissboth the Ante and Play bets goodbye.>

BonusThen there’s the Bonus. If you have a Straight or higher, there is a bonus payout. This is paid whether or not the dealer qualifies. If the dealer qualifies, the play bet wins even money and the payout on the ante is based on the casino’s pay table. If the dealer does not qualify, the payout on the ante is the same as above but the play bet is returned. >Three-Card Poker’s popularity comes from the simplicity of the game. Since you are playing against the dealer, a camaraderie can develop amongst the players. Are you ready to play?
