Bartlesville Radio » News » Delaware Tribe Honors MMIW, MMIP

A somber ceremony was held Friday afternoon at the Delaware Tribal Complex to remember and honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP).

 

About 40 people attended the event, wearing red — some with a red handprint painted over their mouths — a symbol to remember Native American voices who have been silenced.

 

 

Just before an honor walk around the pond, some who gathered held pictures of missing or murdered relatives and friends. They told the crowd about  their honored person, with many tears shed.

 

The Delaware Tribe offers several resources for families that experience domestic violence, including protection order services that the tribe will offer to anyone — Native and Non-Native included.

 

Below is a photo gallery from Friday’s event.

Red Cross blood drives for Dare announced

Red Cross blood drives for Dare announced

Published 12:18 pm Thursday, May 4, 2023

blood

Every two seconds of every day someone needs blood. “This lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation,” stated a Red Cross press release. “A single donation can save more than one life.”

“The need for blood is constant,” said Frank Spruill, Red Cross blood donor ambassador. “While 62% of the U.S. population can give blood, only about 3% donate. The actual blood donation takes about 10 – 12 minutes, and the entire process from arrival to departure is about one hour”.

“If you are healthy and feeling well, please schedule an appointment to donate now,” stated the release. Appointments can be made by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767).

Trio of London area First Nations receives $1M in addiction treatment funding

A $1 million boost from the Ontario government will go a long way in tackling the mental health and addiction crisis facing three First Nations communities, local Indigenous leaders say.

Jacqueline French, chief of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, said the funding announced Thursday marks a milestone contribution to support members of the communities on their road to healing and recovery.

“It’s huge,” French said.

“It’s a significant move that we are making together, as three First Nations,” she said, stressing the importance of collaboration between her community, Oneida Nation of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware Nation.

The money will support the development of a new community wellness strategy and external partnerships to address mental health and addiction. It also signals the beginning of a long-term plan to construct two buildings on First Nations territory that would house services for harm reduction, medical support and outpatient care, French said.

“We have a crisis team, as well as a cultural outreach team (and) harm reduction, so the facilities that are coming in will really address … that need in the community around mental health and addictions.”

One of the biggest challenges facing on-reserve members is a lack of available services. Typically, when residents are ready to seek support, they must commute to London or nearby towns, French said.

“There are huge gaps in accessing those types of services, from detox to treatment, (and) there are huge waiting lists,” she said, adding many cannot afford to pay for private programs.

French was one of the leaders to secure the funding from the Ontario government. Thursday, she joined chiefs Todd Cornelius of Oneida Nation of the Thames and Roger Thomas of Munsee-Delaware Nation in signing a joint declaration on the fight against illegal drugs and human trafficking in their communities.

The declaration, read by Liz Antone, stated the chiefs will take action…

First Colony Foundation archaeologists zero in on site of Algonquian village

First Colony Foundation archaeologists zero in on site of Algonquian village

Ground penetrating radar tests at Roanoke Island’s Elizabethan Gardens may soon reveal the location of an Algonquian village, where local natives entertained the first English explorers to America’s shores in 1584, a spokesman for First Colony Foundation says. Results are expected by May.

The expanded survey, which began in April, will again be conducted on behalf of First Colony by Chartrand Geoarchaeological Solutions of Williamsburg, Va., which conducted initial ground tests at the gardens site in January. The goal is to locate evidence for the as-yet-undiscovered Algonquian village of Roanoac. When completed, the electronic survey will create three-dimensional views of the site, buried beneath at least six feet of sand dune.

“Roanoke is such a place of mystery,” says Eric Klingelhofer, one of FCF’s vice presidents for research. “So much has already been lost to the sands of time, which is why finding the site of this Algonquian village will be an important step forward in in understanding America’s beginnings so long ago.”

Captains Phillip Amadas and Arthur Barlow visited the village during their 1584 reconnaissance mission, aimed at establishing the first English settlement in America. The explorers described the village as consisting of “of nine houses, built of cedar, and fortified round with sharp trees,” as protection against their enemies.

South Jersey Pops’ May 21 Concert is “Top Secret”

Shhh! The South Jersey Pops, the region’s own non-profit orchestra, concludes its 51st season with a “Top Secret” performance May 21, 2023 at Lenape High School in Medford, N.J.

The 60-piece ensemble will salute spies, secret agents and heroes on a mission in popular culture, ranging from Mission: Impossible and Peter Gunn to James Bond and The A-Team.

“The music of secret agents has become some of the most identifiable and oft-heard melodies in contemporary music, appearing in all aspects of life. Who doesn’t think about the exploits of 007 the moment you hear John Barry’s classic strains?” said Robert Bradshaw of Audubon, the Pops’ conductor and musical director. “This orchestra has accepted the mission to summon those memories, and to add in a few surprises befitting the genre.”

(Photo provided)

Master spy James Bond himself will be ever-present during the concert, with the James Bond Theme and music from several movies including Skyfall and The World is Not Enough.

His satirical alter-egos, Inspector Clouseau and Maxwell Smart, will also be highlighted with the classic Pink Panther and Get Smart themes. Along the journey, the audience will also be treated to iconic music accompanying other spies, heroes and their television shows, including Marvin Hamlisch’s upbeat The Glove, from The Sting.

The orchestra’s own Emma Gibbins will be featured vocalist, and Charlie Hannagan from Wilmington, Del., will once again return as guest singer-guitarist.

Ticket Information

“Top Secret” begins at 3 p.m. May 21; doors open 30 minutes before the performance. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Children under 2 are free.

Lenape High School is located at 235 Hartford Road,…

Walner filly stays undefeated in $50,000 Weiss Final

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Kaddari, a Walner filly who started her career with victories in the last two prelims of the Bobby Weiss Series for three-year-old trotting fillies, added the $50,000 Weiss Championship to her rapidly-growing resume on Tuesday afternoon (May 2) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania. The $375,000 yearling stopped the timer in 1:56 on a cool day with a strong stretch headwind.

Mattias Melander got away second with Kaddari, then moved nearing the :28 quarter and stepped around A Good Chardonnay, keeping Quite Fast parked in the two-wide lane through fractions of :57 and 1:26.1. Into the wind driver Melander asked his filly for more, and she responded to be 2½ lengths clear of Over Board, who circled five-wide in the stretch and passed many horses. But she didn’t get past Kaddari, who is trained by Mattias’s brother Marcus Melander and is owned by Courant Inc.

KADDARI REPLAY

The $20,000 Weiss Consolation fell to the Muscle Hill filly I’m Amused in a lifetime best of 1:57. Simon Allard popped the pocket with the sophomore down the backstretch and opened a big lead that could not be threatened through the stretch. Deborah Daguet trains the improving winner for D Racing Stable Inc., Kapildeo Singh, and Earl Hill Jr.

I’M AMUSED REPLAY

Marcus Miller led all Pocono drivers Tuesday with three sulky successes.

The Downs will not present a live program this Saturday, Kentucky Derby Day. Racing returns on Sunday at 6 p.m. with the first stakes action of the year at Pocono, four $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event for three-year-old pacing fillies, a…

Oh May, Oh My, Don’t Miss Out on Making at Tuckerton Seaport

ADORN-ABLE: Ty ‘Dancing Wolf’ Ellis, of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation, will lead a jewelry-making workshop and answer questions about indigenous communities.(Supplied Photo)

As warmer weather approaches, the Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum in Tuckerton is offering a plethora of enriching and educational activities for the whole family. May is filled with a variety of workshops for every kind of crafter and even those simply interested in learning something new about age-old traditions.

For the Birds! Weaving Workshop

Master basket maker Mary May will kick off the month on Saturday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a woven birdhouse workshop. Participants will craft their very own, one of a kind birdhouse based on traditional South Jersey berry baskets. Adorning the birdhouse is a unique glass oval, repurposed from wine bottles. Each glass piece has its own shape, so every birdhouse will be distinct from the rest. The “roof” of the birdhouse is crafted from recycled cedar wood. Registration is $42 for members and $46 for nonmembers.

The Art Is in the Bones

Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis, from the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation, will lead an imitation-bone jewelry workshop on May 6 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., complete with a Q&A portion on modern indigenous communities in Lenapehoking.

Participants will learn methods of crafting jewelry that has been used traditionally for a number of purposes – as chokers, for aesthetics or finding one’s voice, or even as breastplates for battle protection. Participants will use imitation bone to craft a choker, and Ellis will elaborate on its many different uses throughout history.

Some time will be dedicated to learning about the struggles and triumphs of tribes within the Lenapehoking. Participant questions are welcome.

Registration is $48 for members…
