Historical accounts from the 18th century attest that the Upper Tapajós Basin was once densely populated with large villages connected by roads. Nevertheless, for many years, the prevailing theory among archaeologists was that pre-Hispanic settlements in the Amazon were clustered mainly around the fertile lands near the floodplains. Large swaths of the Amazon, particularly regions situated at a distance from major waterways, remain largely unexplored by researchers. Now, as Sarah Kaplan reports for the Washington Post, new research in the...
The Sugarbush is a seasonal activity the Anishinaabeg have done since long before anyone of us can remember. Legends tell us that it is embedded in our collective cultural psyche, that Nanaboozhoo received the teachings of how to identify the maple, tap, collect and boil the sap and make sugar from Missabe, or the giant. He in turn showed us how to do the same. If you are Anishinaabe, you have an ancestral sugarbush that your elders of long ago went to as Spring arrived. Every year they...

TULSA, Okla./OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Sign-carrying Oklahoma teachers walked off the job for a second day on Tuesday, staging boisterous rallies in front of lawmakers and closing hundreds of public schools across the state as they demanded higher pay and more money for education in the latest U.S. labor action by educators.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are clashing over $1.6 million in federal funds meant to help administer Bureau of Indian Education schools, some of the lowest-performing in the nation. In a letter to DeVos obtained by POLITICO, Zinke charges that the Education Department appears to be acting “not in the best interests of our students” by withholding the funds. — Zinke in the March 22 letter also questions the Education Department’s legal authority for holding back the money.

The clamor to address low teacher salaries in Arizona last week prompted statewide demonstrations and promises to emerge as a major issue in the upcoming governor’s race. Trying to head off the issue, the Legislature last week passed and Gov. Doug Ducey swiftly signed a bill to extend a half-cent sales tax surcharge set to expire in 2020. Voters had previously approved the half a penny per $1 spent, which generates $600 million for education. http://www.paysonroundup.com/education/gov-ducey-state-can-t-afford-bigger-teacher-...
As thousands of their colleagues in other states are walking out over low pay this week, some Florida teachers are wondering if they should be doing the same. The list of grievances is long. A state budget that steered millions to school safety will mean less for teacher salaries. Lawmakers just passed legislation that weakens teachers unions, and they continue to shift money to charter schools and state-sponsored scholarships that pay private school tuition. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/gradebook/2018/04/03/can-florida-tea...

The Philadelphia School District will spend $20 million on updating primary grade classrooms in 11 city schools next school year. If you want to know whether the investment is worth it, just ask Katherine Carter. Carter, principal of Alain Locke Elementary in West Philadelphia, surveyed a first-grade class — some children writing sentences, others reading books, others stringing letter beads together, some puzzling through literacy activities on iPads — and nodded definitively. http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_top/20mill...
