All research on Standing Rock must be approved through an IRB (Institutional Research Board) located on Standing Rock. The process ensures that research is appropriate and helpful to the local community. Georg Bergthaler, the author of this study, donated a copy to the college and it is available at the library for research purposes. It features information and directly quoted interviews wiht local tribal members. While from the University of Vienna in Austria, a German speaking country, the text is in English. Another great piece of scholarship helping to fill the gaps in information and data regarding Standing Rock.
