40th annual Nanticoke Indian Powwow aims to spread togetherness and friendship

The 40th annual Nanticoke Indian Powwow went on this weekend in Millsboro.

Jerry Habraken / The News Journal

Last year’s Nanticoke Indian Powwow was canceled due to COVID-19, but the 42nd annual event is back this weekend. 

For the first time, the powwow will be held at Hudson Fields in Milton, relocating from a remote site near Oak Orchard.

Chief Natosha Norwood Carmine said moving the powwow to Hudson Fields will make it more accessible to the thousands of attendees it attracts every year.

The event features food, vendors, drumming and dance sessions. Participants don traditional regalia and Native American arts and crafts are available for purchase.

“It’s a time the Nanticoke Tribe, or any tribal community celebrates heritage, comes together as a renewing and refreshing of our spirits, remembers our ancestors,” said Carmine. “We’re also teaching our children our culture and our traditions and sharing them with the public at large.”

When is it?

This year’s event is set for 4-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11; and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12.

Youth behavioral facility claims legal victory but state still plans to ‘move forward’ with license removal process

An Ashland County judge tossed out a lawsuit from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost against Mohican Young Star Academy

PERRYSVILLE, Ohio — A youth behavioral facility in northern Ohio has won a legal fight against the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, but the state agency that licenses Mohican Young Star Academy says it still plans to “move forward” with the process that would revoke the facility’s license in wake of problems there.

In March, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office sued Mohican Young Star Academy claiming it was using “illegal and dangerous restraints” against the boys in its care. The facility’s owner and operator denied the allegations.

Attorneys for Yost’s office presented testimony from a former staff member, state inspectors and video of children who claimed they were injured during restraint holds inside the facility.

But an Ashland County judge tossed out the lawsuit.

And just last week, a state appeals court ruled in favor of the facility claiming the state “failed to present evidence” that the conditions at the facility “present a substantial risk of physical or mental harm to the residents…” and that the state failed to prove there were no other legal remedies available besides the state’s request to install a new operator.

Despite the legal ruling, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services said the state still plans to “move forward” with the process to strip the facility of its license citing a pattern of recurring events – including children who claim they were injured during restraints among other issues.

10 Investigates’ own investigation and review of police records and videos, incident reports submitted to the state and other interviews has uncovered a persistent pattern of problems at the facility including:

  • staff who allege they have been assaulted by unruly…
