On December 28, 1894, the day before the fourth anniversary of the massacre at Wounded Knee, Lakota chief Two Sticks was hanged in Deadwood, South Dakota. The headline in the Black Hills Daily Times the next day read "A GOOD INDIAN"--a spiteful turn on the infamous saying "The only good Indian is a dead Indian." On the gallows, Two Sticks, known among his people as Can Nopa Uhah, declared, "My heart knows I am not guilty and I am happy." Indeed, years later, convincing evidence emerged supporting his claim. The story of Two Sticks, as recounted in compelling detail in this book, is at once the righting of a historical wrong and a record of the injustices visited upon the Lakota in the wake of Wounded Knee. The Indian unrest of 1890 did not end with the massacre, as the government willfully neglected, mismanaged, and exploited the Oglala in a relentless, if unofficial, policy of racial genocide that continues to haunt the Black Hills today. In From Wounded Knee to the Gallows, Philip S. Hall and Mary Solon Lewis mine government records, newspaper accounts, and unpublished manuscripts to give a clear and candid account of the Oglala's struggles, as reflected and perhaps epitomized in Two Sticks's life and the miscarriage of justice that ended with his death. Bracketed by the run-up to, and craven political motivation behind, Wounded Knee and the later revelations establishing Two Sticks's innocence, this is a history of a people threatened with extinction and of one man felled in a battle for survival hopelessly weighted in the white man's favor. With eyewitness immediacy, this rigorously researched and deeply informed account at long last makes plain the painful truth behind a dark period in U.S. history. &nbsp;

Oppositional and defiant children present a major challenge for teachers and other educators. Students with serious behavior disorders can become aggressive, disruptive, and even violent in class. But instead of becoming frustrated with this antisocial behavior, educators need to approach each child individually with patience and understanding.
Using stories based on actual classroom cases, Philip S. Hall and Nancy D. Hall illustrate the key concepts and techniques needed to successfully teach oppositional students. They believe that the teacher's own behavior can positively influence the student's reactions, and they offer practical advice on what approaches work and don't work. Readers will learn how to
 * Identify the risk factors that can trigger antisocial behavior; * Engineer the classroom environment, routines, and tasks to increase success; * Interact in ways that promote positive behavior; * Temporarily remove a disruptive child from the classroom while preserving the child's dignity; * Work with the child's parents to find the appropriate special education services; * Guide parents toward effective training programs; and * Develop a school culture with the values and beliefs to nurture oppositional students.
Students with oppositional and defiant behavior must feel they are emotionally and physically safe in the classroom. The authors show how educators can help students move from despair to hope, from anger to comfort, and from failure to success.

To Have This Land is a better read than the title suggests. The book is about the local politics prevailing in Dakota Territory in 1889 that created the conditions for an Indian massacre. The book also tells about ranchers living along the western edge of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation who organized into the Dakota Militia. During the month preceding massacre at Wounded Knee, this essentially leaderless group had nearly daily skirmishes with young warriors from the hostile camp on Stronghold Table.

The Reflections of the Badlands is a history of the peoples, beginning with the Lakota, who lived in the South Dakota Badlands, those who inadvertently stumbled into the Badlands, and the others (cattlemen and homesteaders) who attempted to make a living in the rugged and inhospitable Badlands.

The traditional psycho-education evaluations either use the discrepancy model or some combination of curriculum-based measurement/response to treatment to determine whether a student is in need of more intensive educational services and programing. Unfortunately, these quantitative approaches do not help the educational team determine WHY the student is struggling to find success in the classroom. This book is about how to do comprehensive psycho-education evaluations that do uncover WHY a student is struggling to find success at school.
