Manitobans reimagine Canada Day celebrations in wake of residential school revelations

Rather than awash in red and white, on July 1, 2021, Winnipeg’s downtown core was full of orange worn by thousands of marchers following the discovery of what are believed to be unmarked burial sites on the grounds of former residential schools.

At a rally following the march, a statue of Queen Victoria was toppled. 

It wasn’t the usual Canada Day by any stretch.

One year later, the idea of celebrating Canada Day with pomp and circumstance has come under scrutiny, particularly in Winnipeg. The city is reimagining the traditional party — and facing backlash for the choice.

It’s a sensitive topic that Mary Jane Logan McCallum, a University of Winnipeg history professor from Munsee Delaware Nation, is weighing herself.

“We are in a moment where I think there’s a bit of a struggle over what the meaning of the flag is, what Canada is, and then also what Canada Day is,” she said.

Last year, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that what may be hundreds of burials were found near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in B.C. Searches with ground-penetrating radar continued in other provinces, including Manitoba, and challenged many people’s understanding of Canadian history.

“I think for a long time those kinds of celebrations maybe have been stifling for Indigenous people, for people of colour who have complicated histories with the Canadian state that aren’t always kind of straightforward celebratory,” McCallum said.

The Forks, a meeting place for thousands of years in the city with the largest Indigenous population in Canada, is trying to change that. After months of Indigenous-led roundtable discussions, The Forks recast its Canada Day festivities into an inclusive celebration of multiculturalism it’s calling…

New Jersey sues Ford over hazardous waste dumping on tribal land

One of the biggest automakers in the nation, Ford Motor Company, is being sued by the state of New Jersey for allegedly disposing waste on the territories of the Ramapough Lenape Nation, a federally recognized Native American tribe.

The company is accused of disposing thousands of tons of toxic paint sludge and other pollutants on the site of a former iron mine in northern New Jersey in the 1960s and 1970s. The lawsuit also claims the company donated or sold the land without disclosing the contamination. Tribal members claim that as a result, they have developed severe health issues like cancer and congenital disabilities.

However, these health problems aren’t the focus of the case. Instead, it demands compensation for the loss of natural resources and holds the automaker accountable for “deliberate acts or omissions taken with a wanton and willful disregard for the welfare of the residents of New Jersey.” 

The Environmental Protection Agency has found contaminants at the site, including lead, arsenic, and benzene. 

In a statement to Grist, a Ford spokesperson said, “Ford takes its environmental responsibility seriously and has shown that through our actions to address issues in Upper Ringwood. We understand this has affected the community and have worked cooperatively with the Borough of Ringwood, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency while implementing the remediation plan stipulated by the EPA.”

Holmes County: Clean up from mid-June storm could take six months in worst affected areas

It could take nearly six months to clean up debris and remove fallen trees across Holmes County, commissioners estimated on Friday. 

Scattered branches and toppled trees still litter much of Holmes and southern Wayne and Ashland counties two weeks after hurricane-force winds blasted the area.

Recovery: ‘The economic impact for businesses will be measured in millions’

Wayne and Holmes county commissioners declared states of emergency last week, highlighting the widespread damage caused by macrobursts of over 90 mph. 

“The magnitude of the storm caused excessive damage, and the priority is clearing roadways, easements and rights-of-way so public utility companies can access their equipment to ensure services can be restored as quickly as possible,” Wayne County announced on June 22. 

County officials hope the declarations will attract state and federal funding that has so far been lacking, according to the county. 

To report loss or hardship, call the United Way’s WHIRE (Wayne Holmes Information Referral Exchange) service at (330)263-6363.

Clean up continues 

Mohican State Park kept many of its trails closed since the storm, only reopening three, to keep hikers safe from fallen trees. 

As with other recovery aspects since the storm, they enlisted outside help. These crews came from nearby parks to remove debris.

Mohican Trails Club members also volunteered to scout fallen limbs and trees for future clean-up, according to the park. 

Help your neighbor: After the storm: How 2 communities came together to pick up the pieces, & how you can help

Public and private campgrounds were able to operate normally, with some areas off limits due to damaged trees.

Power was restored and enough storm debris cleared by the June 25 weekend to allow canoe liveries and campgrounds to operate. Business was brisk, according to Nathan Shipley, co-owner of Shipley’s Canoe Livery in Loudonville.

“Yesterday was the busiest day we’ve had since the COVID outbreak in 2020,” Shipley…

Mohegan

From humble beginnings, a steady climb to appointment as U.S. treasurer

Mohegan — For a self-described “shy girl from Uncasville,” being named the 45th treasurer of the United States — the first Native American so appointed — is pretty heady stuff to say the least.

On Friday, three days after the historic announcement, Lynn Malerba, chief of the Mohegan Tribe, was ebullient, using such words as “surreal,” “amazing” and “humbling” as she described her path to the sub-Cabinet-level post during an interview in her office at the Mohegan Community and Government Center.

First, she walked the center’s grounds, posing for pictures in front of a statue of her great-grandfather Burrill Fielding, who served the Mohegans as Chief Matahga from 1937 to 1952.

What might he have thought about a Mohegan woman’s signature on U.S. currency?

Malerba’s been pondering such things since she was first asked by a reporter about the signature she’ll provide, a treasurer’s prerogative since 1861. Thirty-four of the previous treasurers have lent their signatures to the nation’s bank notes, as have 32 Treasury secretaries and 17 “registers of the Treasury.”

Malerba’s thinking she might sign “Chief Lynn Malerba” or maybe “Chief Many Hearts Lynn Malerba,” depending, she said, on “what they will allow.” Her Mohegan name, “Mutawi Mutahash,” translates as “Many Hearts.”

Once Malerba’s appointment as treasurer becomes official with a yet-to-be-scheduled swearing in, it’ll be some time before the currency-printing Bureau of Engraving and Printing prepares new plates with the signatures of Malerba and Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen. Though Yellen provided her official signature more than a year ago, the vacancy in the treasurer’s post — Malerba’s predecessor, Jovita Carranza, left in January 2020 — has held things up.

New currency bearing the signatures of Yellen and Malerba will be the first signed by two women in U.S. history.

Dominant effort, fast mile in Pocono feature

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Im Sir Blake A (Alta Christiano N) took an immediate liking to the racing oval at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, shipping in and promptly taking a new mile mark of 1:49.1 while winning the $27,500 handicap pacinig harness racing feature on Saturday.

Im Sir Blake A and driver Marcus Miller (Curtis Salonick Photo)

Marcus Miller was the innermost of the three main leavers, forcing one in behind, then letting the other go nearing the :26.1 quarter, only to retake the lead in front of the stands. Im Sir Blake A passed the half in :55, started to leave the field behind nearing the 1:22.3 three-quarters and could not be caught while turning in a :26.3 last quarter.

Driver Marcus Miller’s father Erv conditions Im Sir Blake A now a winner of $286,527, for owner Douglas Overhiser.

IM SIR BLAKE A REPLAY

In one of the two $17,500 featured trots, the Kadabra mare P L Notsonice equaled the fastest trotting mile of the year at Pocono by going wire-to-wire in 1:52.1. Marcus Miller made the lead with the strong mare before the quarter and hung-up fractions of :27.2, :56.2, and 1:24.1 en route to a routing of her opposition.

Trained by Steven Brabrook for owners Jaypaul Hoover and Elite Harness Racing LLC, P L Notsonice now has earnings of $251,905, and on Saturday she missed her lifetime mark, taken at Plainridge last year, by a tick.

P L NOTSONICE REPLAY

In the other trot headliner, another mare was just as dominant, as the Swan For All mare Queen Of All lowered her mark to 1:53.1 while raising her earnings to $322,125. Matt Kakaley moved the winner to the lead past…

Native News Roundup, June 19-25

Here is a summary of Native American-related news around the U.S. this week:

Mohegan chief announced as new US treasurer

For the first time in U.S. history, a Native American’s signature will appear on all U.S. currency: U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced the new U.S. treasurer: Marilynn “Lynn” Malerba, the lifetime chief of the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut.

As treasurer, Malerba will oversee the U.S. Mint, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and the storage of about $270 billion worth of gold at Fort Knox.

“With this announcement, we are making an even deeper commitment to Indian Country,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said during a visit to the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, home of the Sicangu Lakota.

Bears Ears National Monument Inter-Governmental Cooperative Agreement signatories stand in front of a newly-unveiled sign, June 18, 2022. Bears Ears National Monument Inter-Governmental Cooperative Agreement signatories stand in front of a newly-unveiled sign, June 18, 2022.

Utah tribes to co-manage Bears Ears National Monument

Federal officials and leaders of five tribal nations — Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service and the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, and the Pueblo of Zuni — on June 21 signed a joint government agreement, formally reestablishing the Bears Ears Commission, which will oversee land management of the 5,500-square-kilometer (2,125-square-mile) Bears Ears National Monument.

“Today, instead of being removed from a landscape to make way for a public park, we are being invited back to our ancestral homelands to help repair them and plan for a resilient future,” said Carleton Bowekaty, Bears Ears Commission co-chair and lieutenant governor of Zuni Pueblo. “What can be a better avenue of restorative justice than giving Tribes the opportunity to participate in…
