According to Mohegan Inspire’s President, Chen Si, the resort is poised to offer an experience that transcends the ordinary and caters to visitors from diverse backgrounds. Echoing this sentiment, Mohegan Gaming CEO Ray Pineault underscored the historic nature of the grand opening. The inaugural celebrations are set to reach a crescendo with a performance by the internationally acclaimed band, Maroon 5, among other special events lined up for March.

Adama Delphine Fawundu, a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist, has been appointed as the first artist-in-residence at the Lefferts Historic House Museum by the Prospect Park Alliance. Fawundu’s residency will culminate in a large-scale, site-specific textile installation inspired by the research of the Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative. The exhibition, set to debut in spring 2024, will pay homage to the indigenous Lenapehoking people and the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family.

A Tapestry of History and Resistance
Fawundu’s installation, comprising 25 individual textile pieces, will reflect the history of enslavement and resistance of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking and the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. These textile pieces represent the 25 enslaved Africans who lived at Lefferts House from 1783 to 1827.
The Prospect Park Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative aims to redirect educational focus and redefine the history and importance of the indigenous Lenapehoking people and the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. Fawundu’s residency and installation are integral to this mission.

Unraveling the Layers of Past and Present
Fawundu’s work often intertwines historical and contemporary narratives, using textiles to explore themes of identity, spirituality, and the African Diaspora. Her appointment as the first artist-in-residence at the Lefferts Historic House Museum provides a unique opportunity to delve into the hidden histories and stories of the Lenapehoking people and the enslaved Africans at Lefferts House.
“I am honored to be the first artist-in-residence at the Lefferts Historic House Museum,” said Fawundu. “Through my work, I hope to shed light on the lives and experiences of those who have been historically marginalized and contribute to a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of our shared history.”

Madam President,
I thank the Special Representative for her briefing. I welcome the presence among us this morning of the representatives of Iraq and Kuwait.
France welcomes the efforts of the Iraqi government to implement the reforms awaited by the Iraqi population, and calls for their continuation.
France welcomed the smooth holding of provincial elections on December 18, the first since 2013. We welcome the support provided by UNAMI to the Independent High Electoral Commission. Recent announcements concerning the appointment of new local authorities are encouraging. France hopes that parliamentary elections can be held in Iraqi Kurdistan as soon as possible.
We encourage Iraq to pursue its reforms, as announced by the Iraqi Prime Minister, particularly in terms of diversifying its economy, fighting corruption and impunity, and protecting human rights.
With regards the relations between Baghdad and Erbil, France calls for a resumption of dialogue, particularly on the sharing of oil revenues and security issues. This is in the interest of both parties.
Madam President,
France will closely examine the conclusions of the strategic review on UNAMI next March.
This strategic review requested by the Security Council is independent, and we will carefully look at its conclusions and recommendations. France welcomes the essential role played by UNAMI in providing assistance to Iraq in many areas, while fully respecting its sovereignty. France thanks and congratulates the Special Representative for the exceptional commitment she has demonstrated in the service of Iraq and the Iraqi people throughout her mandate over the past five years.
As a strategic partner of Iraq, France will continue to listen to the Iraqi authorities on the future of UNAMI. Our shared objective is for any change in its mandate to be successful, and we will work together with Iraq and the United Nations to achieve that.
France is…

The Tribal Council of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians is sounding an alarm about unaffiliated groups — including one based in the Berkshires — that may be seeking to exploit the Wisconsin-based tribe for financial gain.
The Stockbridge-Munsee Community has strong ties to this area, as it is part of our ancestral homelands. Reconnecting with our homelands is a means of recovery from forced relocation and assimilation, and we are happy with the local interest in our history, culture and traditions.
The Stockbridge-Munsee Community is a federally-recognized Indian tribe made up of both Munsee and Mohican Indians with an ancestral territory that includes portions of what is now New York State, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Vermont and New Jersey. We are a sovereign nation geographically situated on a reservation in Shawano County, Wis. Our tribe is governed by a duly elected Tribal Council, pursuant to our constitution. As a sovereign tribal nation, we enjoy a unique trust relationship with the federal government and engage in government-to-government relations at the federal, state and local levels.
Our tribe was one of the first tribes to meet the European explorers when Henry Hudson sailed up the Mahicannituck (later called the Hudson River) into the lands of the Mohicans in September 1609. A more detailed summary of our history can be found on our website at https://mohican.com/brief-history. Because of that early encounter and pressure to assimilate, our language, culture and tradition were significantly eroded. As a tribe, we are committed to recovering both language and culture and protecting what our ancestors left us. That commitment includes remaining true to the traditions we have and exposing misuse, misrepresentation or monetization of our culture and traditions.
Toward that end, we…
A few years ago, when I made regular trips to the Baltimore waterfront to fish for rockfish, several people stopped to ask the same question: Are they safe to eat?
My answer: “I don’t know. I’m not a biologist. But rockfish are migratory. They move around and visit the Atlantic. So it’s not like they’re just bottom feeding in the Inner Harbor or Middle Branch all year, accumulating toxins in their flesh. They’re probably safe. Besides, I might catch and keep only one or two per year. I don’t think it will kill me.”
Notice the reference to bottom feeding, the suggestion that rockfish have eating habits superior to less venerated Chesapeake species such as channel catfish or carp.
While bottom feeders eat natural food — mollusks, insect larvae, small fish and some plants — they are thought to be consumers of stuff we’d rather not think about, especially in urban areas. I don’t know if that reputation is deserved, but it’s what a lot of us think, and science-based advisories suggest that certain fish that feed on the bottom pose some risks to humans.
I bring this up because we’re in the second month of The Year of Eating Chesapeake Blue Catfish, proclaimed in this space to support efforts to arrest the growth of an invasive species. Blue catfish are all over the Chesapeake and its tributaries, and it appears they are eating everything, top and bottom.
We need to eat more of them.
To this end, Sun readers sent me recipes to share. (There’s one at the end of this column.) But I also received a caution from Andy Grosko, who has harvested catfish from local waters.
“Sure,” he wrote from Woodstock, “we want to manage invasive fish populations and help commercial watermen, but not at the…
