Bayou Indians Federal Recognition.JPEG-00be6.jpg

In this Oct. 30, 2015 photo, Giovanni R. Santini, appears at his wife's grave at a cemetery in Lafitte, La. Santini has spent decades trying to prove he's an American Indian, and folks in his bayou town no longer doubt he's a proud member of the 17,000-strong tribe Houma scattered across south Louisiana. Not so for the federal government. For decades, efforts by the Houma to become a federally recognized native American tribe have failed -- much like those of dozens of other groups nationwide.

2017FordGT

The 2017 Ford GT supercar sets new standards for Ford innovation through performance with advances in light-weighting, aerodynamics and ultra-efficient EcoBoost engine. The new Ford GT features the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a new twin-turbocharged Ford EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower. The all-new GT features advanced lightweight composites, which will help serve Ford’s entire product lineup moving forward. With the broad application of structural carbon fiber elements, the GT will exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car. Anchored by a carbon fiber passenger cell, the GT features aluminum front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fiber body panels. Carbon fiber is one of the world’s strongest materials for its mass – enabling an ultra-stiff foundation for chassis components, while creating a lighter overall package for increased dynamic performance and efficiency.
