​Former State Rep. Wendi Thomas Appointed to Lenape Valley Board

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Honorable Wendi Thomas of Richboro has been appointed to the Board of Directors at the Lenape Valley Foundation in Bucks County.

As a former Pennsylvania State Representative for District 178 from 2018-22, Thomas has devoted her career to serving as an advocate for mental health.

Among the many committees she has worked on throughout her political career, she notably served as co-chair of the Mental Health Caucus and was appointed to the Blue-Ribbon Commission on Mental Health and the Suicide Prevention Taskforce.

She was recognized as Legislative Champion by Mental Health America (MHA), which honors legislators from across the country for their commitment to mental healthcare reform. She has had a particular interest in highlighting services available for frontline workers suffering from pandemic-related mental health issues and promoting awareness of human trafficking.

Prior to becoming a state representative, Thomas spent her career working in health insurance and health advocacy. In addition, she has been an active volunteer leader in her local community. She was a member of the Council Rock School District Board from 2009 to 2018 and served in numerous positions including president, vice president, finance committee chair and academic standards chair. Dedicating her time and efforts to advancing safety, academics, and resources for children has been a priority of hers.

“I am acutely aware of the shortage of providers in the mental health field for individuals of all ages and I hope to continue to play a role in making quality mental healthcare services available to all who are in need,” said Thomas. “I am excited to keep working within the community for causes that are important to me, and I look forward to serving as an advocate for Lenape Valley Foundation.”

For 65 years, Lenape Valley Foundation has partnered with residents of Bucks County encountering…

Michener Museum to Present “Never Broken” Exhibition

“DELAWARE BANDOLIER BAG”: This work from the 1850s is featured in “Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories,” on view at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., September 9 through January 14.

The James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., will present “Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories,” an exhibition that considers the power of art to construct and dismantle inaccurate Indigenous histories through a display of contemporary work by Lenape (also called Delaware) artists in dialogue with historic Lenape ceramics, beadwork, and other cultural objects and representations of Penn’s Treaty by European American artists.

On view September 9 through January 14, “Never Broken” features recent and newly commissioned work by Ahchipaptunhe (Delaware Tribe of Indians and Cherokee), Joe Baker (Delaware Tribe of Indians), Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation and Cherokee), and Nathan Young (Delaware Tribe of Indians, Pawnee, and Kiowa) that express personal and tribal identity and address the Lenape’s violent displacement from Lenapehoking, the Lenape homeland which encompasses the region where the Michener Art Museum currently stands.

Curated by Baker, co-founder and executive director of Lenape Center in Manhattan, and Laura Turner Igoe, Ph.D., chief curator at the Michener Art Museum, “Never Broken” will include approximately 50 artworks and objects from 10 private and institutional lenders.

Igoe said, “We are excited to share this groundbreaking exhibition with our visitors. Through a focus on Lenape art and culture and a critical examination of historical visualizations of Native and European American relationships, ‘Never Broken’ demonstrates the ways in which art can create, challenge, and rewrite history.”

“The Michener Museum of Art has assembled the legitimate heirs to Lenapehoking in this evocative new exhibit, “Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories,” said Baker. “Four contemporary Lenape artists through their arts practice push back against a silenced history…

About the Green Acres Program

Green Acres’ mission is to achieve, in partnership with others, a system of interconnected open spaces, whose protection will preserve and enhance New Jersey’s natural environment and its historic, scenic, and recreational resources for public use and enjoyment. The Green Acres Program was created in 1961 to meet New Jersey’s growing recreation and conservation needs. Together with public and private partners, Green Acres has protected well over a million and a half acres of open space and provided hundreds of outdoor recreational facilities in communities around the State.

Endangered Indigenous Languages: Universities Advance Revitalization Efforts

With the threat of global languagesbeing lost at the rate of at least one per month, linguists, institutions, researchers, and affected communities are collaborating to maintain, revitalize, and celebrate Indigenous languages. 

Languages across the world are endangered due to steady declines in usage as successive generations become bilingual for a variety of political, societal, and cultural reasons, including pressure to avoid discrimination, according to The Language Conservancy (TLC), a U.S. nonprofit working to protect and revitalize languages across the globe. 

Without intervention, this loss of knowledge could triple within 40 years. By the end of the century, 1,500 languages could cease to exist, according to a 2021 study by a group of Australian researchers, “Global Predictors of Language Endangerment and the Future of Linguistic Diversity,” published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Research shows that certain Indigenous languages are at the greatest risk of disappearing. 

Since speech is the core of one’s identity and culture, preservation of Indigenous languages can foster health and success, TLC finds. Experts also say language is essential to preserving cultural and historical knowledge, worldviews, and forms of correspondence.

Through Indigenous community partnerships, U.S. higher education institutions are a part of the movement working to stem this crisis. A project at Montclair State University (MSU), a public research university in New Jersey, focuses on reviving the Native American Munsee language, while faculty and students at Haverford College, a private liberal arts school in Pennsylvania, are working in Oaxaca, Mexico, to safeguard Zapotec languages.

MSU Advocates for Munsee Language

Scholars and students in MSU’s new Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) minor program are working with the Turtle Clan of the Ramapough Lenape Nation on projects encompassing both environmental justice and language revitalization.

Gimbi Sr., 65, of Mountain Top, a rear seat passenger in the Chevrolet, died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Facility in Plains Township on Dec. 27, 2021. Another passenger, Terra Hill, sustained injuries to her head, bruised ribs and a broken left leg in two places, court records say.

Police filed charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, and two counts each of reckless endangerment and driving under the influence. The charges were filed Monday with District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police responded to the crash at Field and College streets finding the Chevrolet down an embankment and Gordon standing outside the driver’s side door at about 11:30 p.m. Dec. 23, 2021.

Gordon initially said a deer ran out in front of them, and then uttered, “I have been drinking all day; I’m drunk,” the complaint says.

An empty Heineken beer bottle was on the ground next to the driver’s side door and an unopened 24 ounce can of Keystone Light fell from the rear driver’s side door.

Gimbi and Hall had to be extricated from the vehicle by Nanticoke…

Jonas Brothers enchant fans in intimate Mohegan Sun Arena performance Jonas Brothers enchant fans in intimate Mohegan Sun Arena performance 

The Jonas Brothers delivered an intimate performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut on August 17th.

At the tour’s fifth concert, the band treated a packed crowd of fervent fans to a rendition of 67 songs from their extensive career. This marked their fifth appearance at the venue, a place with significant meaning as they had debuted there shortly after the release of “Year 3000” in 2007.

President of Mohegan Sun sports and entertainment, Thomas Cantone, shared, “Their very first performance [at Mohegan Sun Arena] was a halftime show at our Connecticut Sun WNBA game, and then years later they came back as headliners in the arena.”

“We’re invested in them as an act and them personally. We know their family and all of that,” Cantone added.

For Nick, Joe, and Kevin, the performance held a sense of homecoming, as Cantone referred to it. The trio showcased their musical journey, delighting fans with tracks from albums such as Jonas Brothers, A Little Bit Longer, Lines, Vines & Trying Times, Happiness Begins, and The Album. Attendees proudly displayed both recent and vintage JoBros merchandise, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The band took to Instagram to express their post-concert sentiments. “Unforgettable night last night,” they wrote, acknowledging “each show has exceeded our expectations.”

During the Connecticut show, the Jonas Brothers made personal connections with the audience, engaging in discussions about favorite songs from their discography. The trio even extended well wishes to a recently engaged couple from the stage, culminating in a heartwarming “kiss cam” segment.

After the performance, Kevin, 35, expressed his gratitude on his personal Instagram account. He shared photos from the show and thanked the fans for their overwhelming…

Fake Indian tribes bilk millions from taxpayers

“Pretendians” — like the three University of Kansas professors whose claims to be members of Indian tribes have recently been debunked — are only part of the problem.

Shawnee Chief Ben Barnes

According to Shawnee Chief Ben Barnes, the Government Accountability Office and reporting by the Los Angeles Times, there are hundreds of fake tribes bilking millions of dollars annually from taxpayers.

Barnes said a GAO report from 2010 shows 26 separate federal programs which are being defrauded by 24 fake tribes that are not federally recognized.

GAO report 12-358 says federal agencies awarded more than $100 million in funding to the 26 non-federally recognized tribes for fiscal years 2007 through 2010.

The report said that the majority — some $76 million — went to the “Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina” which has state recognition, if only partial federal recognition, and is actively pursuing federal recognition.

The report was careful to note that most program recipients are, in fact, federally-recognized tribes and that funding to non-recognized tribes accounted for only about 2.7% of the $2.6 billion spent over the four years studied — which is still a considerable sum.

Most of the grant funds are distributed by various federal agencies to non-profit organizations under the various “tribes.”

As an example, the Department of Health and Human Services distributed funds to two non-federally recognized tribes in New Jersey during the 4-year review period — the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indians of New Jersey and the Powhatan Renape Nation. 

While there have been a couple of “concurrent resolutions” regarding the “tribes,” the resolutions do not have the force of law, and the GAO report says the New Jersey Commission on Native American Affairs has been at pains to make clear neither tribe has state recognition — let…
