New Kids on the Block perform 2 shows at Mohegan Sun this weekend

DETROIT- The New Kids on the Block were still new kids on the block, relatively speaking, when the teenage heartthrobs hit the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan on Dec. 2, 1989, for not one but two sold-out concerts.

New Kids On The Block members, from left, Danny Wood, Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre and Jonathan Knight pose with fans at an 80’s style roller rink party to celebrate their new single, at South Amboy Arena Rollermagic, on Thursday, March 3, 2022, in New Jersey.

“Yeah we used to do matinees back then, too,” says New Kid Donnie Wahlberg, who fondly recalls that chilly December day and meeting members of the Bad Boys, including Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daly, and being pleasantly surprised that they weren’t such bad guys after all (even though they’d disposed of Wahlberg’s Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals the year prior).

It’s now more than 30 years later and the Bad Boys are long gone and so is the Palace, but the New Kids are still hangin’ tough. The Boston boy band has embarked on the latest iteration of their Mixtape Tour, this time featuring fellow ’80s and ’90s hit-makers Salt-N-Pepa, En Vogue and Rickroll king Rick Astley.

The tour stops at the Mohegan Sun Arena for shows on Friday and Saturday nights.

Playing arenas, then as in now, is a surreal feeling, Wahlberg says.

“It’s a little bit overwhelming if we really stop and think about it,” says Wahlberg, on the phone earlier this year, along with fellow New Kid Jonathan Knight. “And I think as we get older, we definitely take the time to stop and think about it a lot more.”

There’s more…

How Indigenous Groups Are Using 3-D Technology to Preserve Ancient Practices

In a cavernous Smithsonian Institution workshop, a team of imaging experts laser scans a small, hand-carved cedar hat. It was crafted more than 140 years ago from a solid piece of wood and depicts a bear with large copper eyes. In a few hours, the experts will have a videoconference with members of the Haida Nation in British Columbia to go over the progress they’ve made on their collaborative goal: creating a digital three-dimensional model of this clan crest hat, an object of significant cultural importance for the Haida.

The project is the latest in a series of similar partnerships between the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) and Indigenous North American groups. Eric Hollinger, tribal liaison at NMNH’s repatriation office, says such groups are increasingly turning to 3-D technology to document and even replicate their cultural objects. “We want to be clear this is not in lieu of repatriation,” the legally mandated return of eligible original objects and Indigenous human remains from museums, Hollinger says. Instead the goal of this work is to help safeguard the legacy of fragile items by creating digital models for preservation and education, as well as physical replicas that can be displayed or even used in ceremonies when originals cannot.

These collaborations started in 2007, when the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, the Delaware Nation and the Delaware Tribe of Indians asked NMNH to 3-D print copies of a 17th-century pewter tobacco pipe that the museum was preparing to repatriate. Because cultural strictures required the reburial of the original pipe—a funerary object—tribal officials requested three replicas that could be used to educate people about the pipe’s history and the repatriation. Hollinger worked with the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office (DPO) to 3-D print the pipe replicas with silica. Although NMNH had been using 3-D…

NJ Superfund lawsuit offers tribal land a path from contamination to cultural restoration

Peter’s Mine Road is plastered with signs. On one side, they say “congratulations class of 2022.” On the other, they say “Superfund site.”

Pollution in this area of Ringwood, New Jersey dates back to 1967, when the Ford Motor Company began dumping paint sludge and other hazardous byproducts from their Mahwah car factory on land surrounding a defunct mine. But for a while nobody knew – especially not the indigenous people who lived there. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency didn’t designate the site for federally-managed Superfund cleanup until the 1980s.

Those toxic chemicals remain at the center of a decades-long fight, waged largely with the Ramapough Lenape Nation’s Turtle Clan.

Two weeks ago, New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the state Attorney General’s office filed a new lawsuit against Ford, saying the automaker was “fully aware” of the harm it was causing to Ringwood and the ancestral lands of the Ramapough.

Most of the area’s residents were and continue to be members of the Turtle Clan. Chief Vincent Mann said the community’s way of living off the land unknowingly sealed their fate.

“They were harvesting wild medicinals. They were drinking the water,” Mann said. “In all of those things was all the toxic chemicals that was disposed of there by Ford Motor Corporation, allowed by the town of Ringwood.”

According to the new civil complaint, Ford later sold or donated the land to municipal governments and residential developers without fully disclosing the contamination they’d left behind. By 1973, the company no longer owned any land at the site.

DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourrette said the lawsuit seeks restitution for the damage done to natural resources, rather than human health. Over 600 people from Upper Ringwood, alleging personal injuries and cancer due to the dumping site, filed a class-action…

Sussex County residents take in new mobile health clinic and it’s life changing resources

SEAFORD, Del.- TidalHealth Nanticoke is getting $350,000 in federal funding that will help keep Delawareans healthy by addressing health disparities in under-resourced communities within Western Sussex County including Georgetown, Millsboro, Selbyville, Laurel, Seaford, Delmar, Blades Bethel and Bridgeville.

“We’ve been waiting on this cause for a time I couldn’t get to the doctors appointments, even when you made transportation they couldn’t pick you up because something got in the way; but now someone has heard our voice,” Laverne Whitmire, a resident at Meadow Bridge Apartments in Seaford, said.

TidalHealth will use this funding towards outfitting a mobile health clinic, to provide health screenings, multidisciplinary health services, education and outreach in community-based settings. “It’s going to be staffed with a registered nurse and a community health worker who will be able to do preventive health screenings such as take peoples A1C’s, find out their cholesterol, flu shots, COVID shots, but also health education,” Kat Rodgers, Director of Community Health Initiatives for TidalHealth said.

This announcement is something that made resident Whitmire emotional. “You don’t even know what you have started here, this is going to be such a tremendous out pouring of love,” Whitmire said.

But, she’s not the only one feeling this way. “It’s a big responsibility,” Penny Short, Tidal Health Nanticoke President, said. “We are ready and willing to be there for all of you.”

Rodgers said this idea came about when they started to do community vaccination clinics during the pandemic. “What we saw is that people had a lot of barriers to accessing all healthcare and people didn’t know they had diabetes or hypertension,” Rodgers said. “And, so once the pandemic sort of got under control that caused us to say, well what can we do differently? How can we provide healthcare and access differently?”

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. 

Mary Jane Logan McCallum, a history professor at the University of Winnipeg, said Canadians are coming to grips with the realization that its patriotic celebrations are off-putting to some Indigenous people. (Tyson Koschik/CBC)

“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…
