For years we have talked about encouraging Indians to exercise greater self-determination, but our progress has never been commensurate with our promises . These words ring as true today as when they were first spoken by President Richard M. Nixon in 1970. As part of his address to Congress, they were the beginning of what we now call the... |

If you have understanding and heart, show only one. Both they will damn, if both you show together.

A mysterious, ancient stone circle carved into limestone bedrock discovered on a downtown Miami bayfront lot has set a legal precedent for the world.

It is typical for people to judge the degree of respect they are accorded by others in terms of the way their cultural membership is treated. For example, a Sikh-American who experiences the glares of his work group directed toward his turban concludes that the group does not respect him. On the other hand, an Iraqi-American woman believes that she... |
