That article is not online, as you would know by now if you had done what I
did (on your behalf) and consulted a Web search engine. On the other hand,
you might try asking Dejanews for posts that combine `Dogon' and `Sirius'.
There is a long thread which deals with most of the obvious points.

But hey, don't knock yourself out. Who knows, if you keep asking somebody
might drop by your school with a free library of skeptical texts. Look,
why don't I just fly over from Australia with a copy of BROCA'S BRAIN and
read it to you at home?

(Calm down, Damien. Calm down. There, that's better. Just let the
Atlantean vibrations flow through, awakening the inner dolphin. Ahhhhh)
