Can someone correctly punctuate this for me please? thanks.

His goal was to help the teacher understand that his son Wind-wolf was not slow, just culturally different. '' He is not culturally disadvantaged, but he is culturally different''. The evidence he used to support the claim is. ''If you ask him how many month are in a year, he will probably say 13. he will respond this way not because he doesn't know how to count properly, but because he has been taught by our traditional people that there are 13 full moons in a year according to the native tribal calendar''. And the logical and ethical reply is, ''Millions of dollars have been appropriated by Congress and are being spent each year for "Indian Education." All you have to do is take advantage of it and encourage your school to make an effort to use it in the name of "equal education." My Indian child has a constitutional right to learn, retain, and maintain his heritage and culture. By the same token, I strongly believe that non-Indian children also have a constitutional right to learn about our Native American heritage''.
