American Indian Culture Research Center. "In the critical year of 1876 Benedictine Monks came to Dakota Territory and at the request of Sitting Bull at Standing Rock set up the first of several schools. In 1966 there evolved from the schools and from the inspiration of the students the AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURE RESEARCH CENTER at Blue Cloud Abbey. The principal purpose of the Center is to inform the general public of the world view, the philosophy of life, the spiritual insight of Native Peoples. It must be emphasized that no one person speaks for Indian People. There are nearly three hundred distinct American Indian Nations in the present United States. Each has its own language and history, its own sacred places and rituals. Each is rooted in and part of the land out of which it grew. Our website offers a very slight beginning of a learning to respect the giftedness of all Native Peoples" URL: http://www.bluecloud.org/dakota.html

Expect the Best From a Girl: That's What You'll Get. “Despite what pop psychologists claim, females and males are not from different planets. In fact, studies show that girls and boys share an overwhelming number of characteristics. They have the same capacity to succeed in reading, writing and mathematics. And until puberty begins, they have similar physical development, so that coed teams before puberty would have as many outstanding girl stars as boy stars - assuming of course, that the two had comparable practice and coaching. Contrary to public opinion, parents, rather than peers or the media, have the greatest influence on their daughter's lives and life choices. Expectations and experiences from family and community members are more likely to influence girls' decisions than their innate abilities. Differences in achievement come from different expectations for success and different experiences.” URL: http://www.academic.org/
