Your story quoted Native American tribal coordinator Rochanne Downs: "We know where we came from. Our people were made from mud, and then the tribes were sent out." There is very little difference between her belief and the creation of Adam in Genesis. Even scientists ill disposed toward spirituality have to consider that life arose from inorganic matter (i.e., mud, dust...
...hotel industry, and a police crackdown on the exploitation of children. But most of the allegations have never been investigated, and many of the report's key recommendations have still not been implemented.

The Solomon Islands' Law Reform Commission, designed to review and strengthen weak laws, has been inactive for months while the government advertises for staff. Why has so little been done?

More often than rousing speeches (which could lose their effect on American audiences since the movie is in subtitles...
Showcasing traditional Native American garb, Native Americans at Harvard College (NAHC) celebrated the diversity of tribal cultures at its first “Represent Your Tribe Night” yesterday evening. A group of seven gathered in Kirkland House yesterday to present cultural items, such as a hand-made regalia and a dream catcher, to share their individual tribe’s tradition and history. “There’s a general misconception of a pan-native American identity,” said April D. Youpee-Roll ’08, a native of the Fort Peck Sioux...
