And when did this tribe file for a copyright?

[muawiyah]

WHEN? Current copyright law doesn't wait for a filing for it to be available to be invoked. They make their claim and then file ~ and there's no need to make a claim until the right is disputed.

The NCAA is infringing on their rights to use or lend for use their own names ~ and trade-dress.

The NCAA will lose this one and this little tribe will make some bucks off them.

However, it's more like a TRADEMARK and those things just cruise along forever and ever. Kikoman, founded in Japan in the early 1600s, has a Trademark that's as protected now in America as it was nearly half a millenia ago ~ although I don't think they bring in a Samurai to cut off your head for stealing these days ~ but they could!

Remember, the Sioux have their own tried and tested techniques of ancient vintage.
