‘Abuse, neglect, malnutrition’: Munsee-Delaware chief calls for more action amidst grave site discoveries

MUNSEE-DELAWARE FIRST NATION, ONT. — “I’ve heard some very tragic stories and I’ve seen the impacts of those experiences with these people. Abuse, neglect, malnutrition, slave labour,” says Chief Mark Peters of Munsee-Delaware First Nation.

Many First Nations communities across Canada grieve as the country continues to discover mass unmarked grave sites.

The most recent, was found near Cowessess First Nation in southern Saskatchewan where roughly 751 sites were discovered.

“It’s not surprising that people don’t know. To an extent, if we hadn’t experienced and known our own people’s experiences here, we wouldn’t have known either,” says Peters.

Nearby, the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation is also feeling the emotional effects of recent discoveries, telling CTV News London in a statement, “Our hearts are heavy with sorrow today. More weight has been added to the collective grief felt by Indigenous people.”

Both First Nations communities are calling on the government for resources to help bring them closure.

“We demand that the Canadian government and the Catholic Church respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action 71 to 76 and to hand over all documents and records from these institutions which have been withheld from us and greatly hinder our ability to identify and repatriate the remains of our loved ones,” the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation said in a statement.

While there’s no way to 100 percent deter car break-ins, there are some steps that you can take to make your vehicle a much less appealing target.

First responders have recovered the body of a Seaford man who drowned in the Nanticoke River, Maryland State Police said.

A Maryland Natural Resources Police helicopter patrolling the area of Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown located 53-year-old John Davis around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday. Police said his body was found in the Nanticoke River about a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen over the weekend.

Troopers from the Salisbury Barrack were called to Cherry Beach Park shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday for a report of a possible drowning.

They arrived to find Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department conducting dive operations and searching via boat for Davis.

Police said Davis had been at the park for a family gathering when he jumped from a boat dock into the Nanticoke River to go swimming. Nearby boaters saw him struggling to keep his head above water, but by the time they…

Bellator 261 results: Liz Carmouche swarms Kana Watanabe for 35-second knockout

Liz Carmouche wasted no time making her statement for a title shot at Bellator 261.

Not only did Carmouche (16-7 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) take the unbeaten record from Kana Watanabe (10-1-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), but she did it in a mere 35 seconds, finishing the women’s flyweight co-headliner by knockout at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

The former UFC title challenger came out of the gate on fire. She pressured Watanabe and hurt her with a big right hand, forcing the Japanese fighter to back up against the fence.

Carmouche was relentless once she had Watanabe in trouble, throwing a flurry of strikes and tagging her opponent over and over. Although Watanabe didn’t go down, the referee decided he’d seen enough and waved it off.

It was Carmouche’s intention to deliver a memorable performance, and she did just that with the fastest win of her career. Now she wants the winner of the next title fight between Juliana Velasquez and Denise Kielholtz on July 17.

“I wanted that finish. I want that belt and I know tonight I needed to put on a strong finish,” Carmouche said in her post-fight interview with John McCarthy. “I wanted her, when she looks back at that loss on her record, she remembers me and a hard finish.”

The latest Bellator 261 results include:

  • Liz Carmouche def. Kana Watanabe via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 0:35
  • Sidney Outlaw def. Myles Jury via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 3, 4:44
  • Daniel Weichel def. Keoni Diggs via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27)
  • Christian Edwards def. Simon Biyong via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Tribes, historians differ in views on true successor to ‘1839 Cherokees’

In September 1839, a group of Cherokees convened in Tahlequah to frame a new constitution. Today, two Cherokee tribes exist in Tahlequah: the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.

As it stands today, the UKB asserts it is a “successor in interest” to the historical Cherokee Nation. Meanwhile, the Cherokee Nation – also known as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma – claims it remains the tribe for which the 1839 Constitution was created, and has repeatedly insisted the UKB’s claim to be a successor in interest is false.

“My argument is they changed their name from Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma to Cherokee Nation as a cosmetic ruse so people would think they are the same entity,” said David Cornsilk, a dual-enrolled member of both tribes, genealogist and historian. Cornsilk, a former journalist, believes the tribe known as the Cherokee Nation today is not the same as the one from 1839.

In 1975, Principal Chief Ross Swimmer led an effort to create a new constitution, for which the title read “the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.” Then, the tribe drafted a new constitution in 1999 and ratified it in 2003, leaving the “of Oklahoma” portion out.

Chad Smith, who served as principal chief at the time, said the name has always been “Cherokee Nation,” though.

“There wasn’t an Oklahoma when Cherokees came to Indian Territory,” Smith said. “So when the federal acts for allotment occurred, it was always the ‘Cherokee Nation’. It was in 1975 that Ross Swimmer … led the effort to update the constitution. If you look at the text of the constitution, it never changes the name. The only place the name is [changed] is in the printer’s title.”

In 1970, Congress passed the Five Tribes Principal Chiefs Act, allowing citizens and descendants of the Five Tribes to popularly select…
