Posted by bean | January 30th, 2004

January 30

1888: (Birthday) Ella Cara Deloria, a Dakota Indian (Sioux) anthropologist who studied Dakota Indian life for more than 40 years, was born at White Swan, South Dakota, on the Yankton Sioux Reservation. Deloria always lived at extreme poverty levels as she worked with noted anthropologist Frank Boaz and later Ruth Benedict. For the first time in history, life in the Indian culture was seen from a woman’s perspective.

1958: (A First) The British House of Lords passed law (confirmed by the House of Commons Feb. 13) that seated women in the House of Lords for the first time in its six and one half centuries of existence. The day in now known as Woman Peerage Day.

    I’ve been warned that the “Steve Gilliard is dead” posts are coming from a troll. And it is suspicious that Jen hasn’t updated the blog as she has been doing for some time if that is true.

    Just what I’ve heard.

    I’ve written a letter to Jen, the person who has been updating Steve’s blog, to let her know that someone’s been spreading this rumour (and to get Steve’s mailing address). If I hear back from her I’ll be sure to put up a post.
