New Jersey-Based Sand Hill Lenape Indians Seeks Long-Overdue Federal and State Recognition

United States – May 31, 2022 —

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians made tremendous contributions to the development of the state of New Jersey and the U.S States. An ex-mayor of Neptune Township, New Jersey, said, “It is a shame what some people in the State have done to the Sand Hill Lenape Indians.” Then he went on to say, “the Sand Hill Lenape Indians and the Reevey family are the people who made the state of New Jersey possible.”

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians were the original group of Native American families that settled in the lands of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan today over 10,000 years ago. These people were skilled farmers, builders, engineers, artists, musicians, hunters, athletes, emergency technicians, community leaders, U.S. soldiers, U.S. senators, medics, inventors, guardians, makers, teachers, etc. They also helped build cities in New Jersey, the Boardwalks, housing, and many other architectural structures in N.J. According to historic evidence, the Sand Hill Lenape Indians (“THE INDIANS OF LENAPEHOKING”) are actually some of the last living descendants of the sacred ancient Mayan mound building, “world teacher” people. In the 1600s the Sand Hill Lenape Indians opened their lands to European settlers who were trying to escape the tyranny of some of the past monarchs of Europe.

Mohegan Tribe Partners With Yale University to Combat Problem Gambling

The Mohegan Tribe is partnering with Yale University to fund a new initiative aimed at combatting problem gambling. Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine will begin developing an app to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy.

“Which is an evidence-based treatment for substance use as well as other behavioral addictions including gambling,” said Dr. Brian Kiluk, associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine.

The app would help broaden access to treatment for people struggling with problem gambling.

“That’s the hope. I think one of the challenges in the field – not just gambling, but mental health in general – is that there just aren’t enough treatment providers available to meet the demand and the need of individuals,” Kiluk said.

The partnership comes months after online gaming and sports betting became legal in Connecticut. As part of that legislation, the tribal casinos and the Connecticut Lottery had to enhance their commitment to combatting problem gambling.

“You cannot do expansion of this magnitude without having a strong focus on problem gaming,” said Paul Mounds, chief of staff for Governor Ned Lamont’s administration.

In accordance with the legislation, the Mohegan Tribe will contribute over $2 million to Yale’s School of Medicine to develop the app.

According to a press release from the Mohegan Tribe, the funding comes in addition to the Tribe’s annual contribution of nearly $300,000 to the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling.

“This joint effort with Yale is the first of its kind. We recognize modernizing gaming comes with additional responsibility to our community and we have readily doubled down on our support to promote responsible gaming,” said Ray Pineault, President and CEO of Mohegan, said in a press release.

Connecticut’s Council on Problem Gambling has recorded a huge increase in call volume to their helpline since online gambling was legalized last year….

‘Ocean City is my hometown’: World-traveling artist returns to repair Nanticoke sculpture

“My canvas is the entirety of the North American continent.”

Peter Wolf Toth, the world-traveling, self-taught sculptor, has returned to Ocean City to repair his 20-foot tall “Whispering Giant” sculpture.

Toth, who was initially invited to erect the sculpture in 1976 by former Ocean City mayor Harry W. Kelley, was pleased to have an excuse to return to the resort town.

Having grown up in Vienna, Austria, Toth, who speaks English, Hungarian and German, moved to the United States at the age of 11. Once here, he began to develop a deep interest in Native American art, culture and history.

Artist Peter Wolf Toth works on his

Although he is a self-taught sculptor, he was often inspired by his father, who was also an artist.

Toth’s first statue was made from stone and on a California cliffside. Since then, he has built a total of 74 statues, at least one in each of the 50 states. He has teased that his next project will be along the Amazon River.

Today, he feels a strong connection to every state, country and continent on which he has ever stepped foot.

“This, Ocean City, is my hometown. Vienna is my hometown. Budapest is my hometown. Every place where I have created one of my statues or lived is my hometown,” he said. “I feel the cold of Alaska, I feel the heat of Florida because I’m a part of it.”

Moving around the country has led Toth to working in all sorts of weather.

Mohegans announce support for Yale plan to combat problem gambling

Mohegan — Mohegan Sun’s tribal owners announced Tuesday that over the next five years they will invest $2 million in the Yale School of Medicine’s ongoing development of an app-based program aimed at treating problem gambling through a process known as cognitive behavioral therapy.

The announcement came at a news media event at the Mohegan Community and Government Center on Crow Hill Road.

“This will revolutionize the treatment of problem gambling,” said Ray Pineault, president and chief executive officer of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, the casino’s corporate parent.

Pineault and Mohegan tribal leaders were joined by Yale School of Medicine officials, the executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, the president and CEO of the American Gaming Association and representatives of Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration.

The Mohegan Tribe’s investment represents part of its response to the 2021 legislation that legalized online casino gaming and sports betting in the state. The tribe also has increased its $300,000-a-year contribution to the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling and has contributed more than $10 million to problem-gambling programs and services since Mohegan Sun’s 1996 opening, Pineault said.

Proven effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions, including substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly known as CBT, has yet to be applied to gambling addiction.

Brian Kiluk, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, said the Mohegan investment will enable Yale researchers to adapt a computer-based CBT program a Yale team developed years ago to treat substance abuse and dependence. Kiluk, a member of that team, said a goal of an app-based program designed to treat problem gambling will be to reach underserved populations.

A form of talk therapy, CBT deals with patterns of thinking and beliefs and seeks to help people recognize…

Bear near the beach: Atlantic Highlands, NJ police share sighting

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS — A black bear was spotted in a community much more accustomed to the occasional dolphin sighting, heading into Memorial Day weekend.

On Friday, the Atlantic Highlands Police Department shared several updates about “multiple black bear sightings in the area of Upper East Highland Avenue and Lenape Woods.”

Bear incidents are up dramatically across NJ

Both Lenape Woods and Mount Mitchill Park were closed for a stretch of time during the sightings, as a precaution.

The first notice was before noon, with another update two hours later and a third post around 3 p.m.

“Upon speaking with the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife they believe that the bear will move on from Atlantic Highlands soon,” police said, adding that the state would not respond to remove the bear unless “it gets into a fixed position, such as a tree or an enclosure.”

From January through late spring, there were at least 473 sightings and nuisance and damage reports involving bears across 17 counties, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.

Those did not include sightings and incidents handled by police departments without DEP assistance, such as in Atlantic Highlands.

Rehabbing UConn women’s basketball players Caroline Ducharme, Dorka Juhász pull up courtside at Connecticut Sun game

UNCASVILLE — UConn women’s basketball players Caroline Ducharme and Dorka Juhász were sitting courtside to soak in Tuesday night’s WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The two Huskies, who have remained in Storrs to continue their injury rehab, said they’ve been watching WNBA games together every night.

Ducharme, a guard, had surgery on her left hip in late April to repair an injury from high school that she played through in her freshman season in 2021-22. Juhász, a forward, had fractured her wrist during the NCAA Tournament.

Juhász just had her cast removed on Tuesday and Ducharme has progressed from two crutches to one. They were able to celebrate their progress with their first fun night out since beginning the rehab process.

“We’ve been planning to come to [see the] Connecticut Sun, but this was the game that we were able to actually get here, so we were super excited,” Juhász said. “It’s different when you’re watching a team and being in person. That’s both of our goals, is to play in the WNBA, so following all the games and just seeing them in person it’s just always awesome to see. We love to support other women’s sports and we’re very happy to be here.”

Delaware Tribe

Reader Viewpoint: AHS mascot is based on respect

To Anderson Community Schools’ School Board:

I don’t know how many of you are graduates from Anderson High or other area high schools. On this mascot problem, I can only hope you are using some common sense and some backbone.

Chief Anderson was chief of the Delaware Tribe and, through the years, descendants of his have visited here several times, visited our school and said we were showing great respect in all we do in regard to our mascot and his outfit.

They did point out that the Delaware headdress was only three feathers but ours, with numerous feathers, was respectful because it was the style of other Native American tribes.

You can’t change history, as much as some people think they can.

We have had an Indian mascot for over 90 years. For almost the last 40 years, a group of Native Americans has visited Anderson, set up Andersontown Pow Wow and shared with the public their traditions, dances and customs.

I have volunteered several years there, and our booth has been visited many times by Native Americans. We have had on our table the AHS yearbooks with the title “The Indian” on them.

We also have had a copy of “A Long Far View,” a big AHS history book that has our Indian mascot in color on the cover. We have always received complimentary feedback.

The official Anderson city seal is also the head of a Native American chief with a headdress, very similar to our mascot’s. Is that a problem?

By what power does Rachel Thunder and the American Indian Movement have to tell us what is right or wrong in the way we honor the Native Americans who settled here before us? (Editor’s note: Story ran on Page A3, April 13.)

As a 75-year graduate of Anderson High, I say to those who chose…
