Our Opinion: A lesson in history and reconciliation in Stockbridge

“Welcome home.”

That’s how Brian Cruey, the Trustees of Reservation Berkshires director, greeted Heather Bruegl, cultural affairs director for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. It wasn’t just an act of kindness, but a recognition of history, as the pair helped to open “Mohican Miles,” a new exhibit at the Trustees of Reservations’ Mission House in Stockbridge. It includes artifacts and educational displays curated by the tribe’s museum in Bowler, Wis.

More than relics from the past, the exhibit is also a voice in the here and now — a real presence right on Main Street for a people who are part and parcel of the history of this land, but saw their own history systematically threatened by the expanding American empire. The Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians now resides in Wisconsin, a thousand miles from the South County town of their namesake after broken treaties and cruel dispossession forced them out of their ancestral homelands. Yet they still call this place home, a reverence for these Berkshire hills they have proudly carried through centuries of unimaginable hardship.

It is morally imperative to acknowledge this, but the Mohican Miles exhibit goes a crucial step further by not just recognizing history but allowing the tribe to tell it, relinquishing a settler-colonialist stranglehold on a rich history too often minimized in America’s founding mythos. “The whole exhibit is told in our own voice so we have a footprint on Main Street again,” Bonney Hartley, historic preservation manager for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, told The Eagle.

The tribe has a five-year agreement with the Trustees to tell its story through the Mission House exhibit, a project made possible by the hard work and cooperation of local and tribal historians and advocates. At the exhibit’s opening, Ms. Hartley singled out former Stockbridge police chief and local history buff Rick…

Spider Room

A spider hung on the ceiling above my kitchen sink. It was probably there for days, but I only noticed it last Thursday. A similar spider used to hang in the upper corner of my bathroom. It might’ve been the same spider. They certainly look alike: long, thin legs protruding out of a tiny brown body that’s a little bit longer than most daddy long-legs I’ve seen. I took a picture and sent it to my friend, a biologist who specializes in spiders. He said it was a Pholcus phalangioides, better known as a long-bodied cellar spider.

Cellar spiders like to dwell in spaces where there’s not a lot of light and the temperature is around 50 degrees, like basements, caves, and under stones. When one gets inside a house, it makes webs in the corners of ceilings. They don’t bother anyone; they’re good for pest control since they eat small insects and other spiders. I decided this new spider settler can stay for a while.

The spider was gone the next morning. In its place were a tiny spider—leftovers from last night’s dinner, no doubt—and fragments of its web. I started missing the spider until I saw it in the opposite corner of my studio apartment ceiling, minding its own business. Normally I don’t care about insects until they get into my apartment, and then they must die. It’s my small part in contributing to the proud American tradition of protecting one’s God-given private property from outsiders, even if the outsiders were here first.

White people in particular love to dominate other people’s land. The Nanticoke were one of the many tribes that originally inhabited the Delmarva Peninsula, where I live, living peacefully off the land and Chesapeake Bay until Captain John Smith arrived in 1608. At first, the…

New Catoosa organization aims to support Native American artists

CATOOSA, Okla. — Native American art is taking center stage in Catoosa this weekend.

50 Native artists are showcasing their skills as part of the new Route 66 Native Arts Alliance. The group is bringing the community together to support Native artists during the pandemic.

“All joining arms to make this community really a special place for the artists,” said Betsy Swimmer, vice president of the Route 66 Native Arts Alliance. “And also, for Route 66, an authentic experience with Native artists.”

The events kicked off Thursday night with an art show and gala at the Bella Donna Event Center. Artists showed off their paintings, jewelry and even furniture. The furniture pieces featured are designed by Cray Bauxmont-Flynn, a member of Cherokee Nation and the Delaware Tribe who is the founder and creative director of Amatoya. He said his pieces are inspired by his Native roots.

“We keep on evolving from our heritage and our cultural essence into a new art form that takes you to the next level,” Bauxmont-Flynn said.

The weekend is also launching “Destination Catoosa.” It’s an effort to make the city a hub for Native art in the region.

You can hear Bartlesville Native and Cherokee Citizen singer-songwriter Becky Hobbs perform a song she wrote for the event, appropriately called “Destination Catoosa,” as a tribute to the city.

“It’s the redbud trees,” Hobbs said. “The birds sing. It’s the Verdigris River. The Blue Whale. I even got the Blue Whale in there. So I had lots of fun writing it.”

Friday’s events include a concert from Hobbs as well as a Native art show all at the Bella Donna.

The festivities continue in downtown Catoosa on Saturday with a street fair. Booths will line Cherokee Street and feature even more Native American artists. There will also be live music and food trucks.

It’s also a chance…

FanDuel enters Connecticut with Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment

Flutter Entertainment-owned FanDuel Group has signed a multi-vertical market access deal with Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) to enter Connecticut’s regulated betting and gaming market.

The agreement will see FanDuel bring retail and online sports betting, as well as iGaming and daily fantasy sports, to MGE’s flagship Mohegan Sun property in Uncasville.

“We’re excited to work with FanDuel, one of the leading sports-tech entertainment companies in the US to bring the brand’s innovative sports betting and iGaming solutions to Mohegan Sun Connecticut,” said Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment president and CEO Ray Pineault.

“Our partnership is a priority for Mohegan Digital, as we look to grow and enhance our casino, sportsbook and online operations in Connecticut – and beyond. We’re confident that FanDuel will deliver a best-in-class digital and in-person experience for our loyal guests.”

A temporary retail Mohegan Sun/FanDuel Sportsbook will be located inside Mohegan Sun and will feature four live betting windows and sixteen self-service betting terminals. A permanent sportsbook location is expected to open in winter, subject to securing regulatory approvals.

“Mohegan Sun is an iconic casino and entertainment destination in the Northeast, and we are excited to announce our first tribal gaming partnership with one of the leading tribal operators in the United States,” said FanDuel president Amy Howe. “We have some incredible plans for the retail space at Mohegan Sun, with the potential to be the largest FanDuel Sportsbook in the United States.

“When we combine the retail sports betting experience with the opportunity for online sports betting and iGaming, Connecticut is going to be a key state for us as we look towards the start of football season.”

Shares in FanDuel parent company Flutter Entertainment plc (LSE:FLTR) closed marginally lower at 12,907.89 pence per share in London Thursday.

All about ‘Diana’s Bath’, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area’s hidden gem

Alana Glynn  |  For the Pocono Record

In early May, I hiked Caldeno Falls which are also known as “Diana’s Bath” by the locals in our Pocono’s. Caldeno Falls is a lovely trail that is a part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Appalachian trail. 

I was extremely lucky to choose such a beautiful spring day. This hiking trail is approximately a 7-minute drive from The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort.

We started our hike around 10 a.m., birds were still singing, and the trail was not busy. There were a few other groups out hiking. The path behind the big “Leave No Trace” sign is the beginning of the Caldeno Falls trail. 

More Pocono hikes: Find your peaceful place at Cranberry Creek | Get Outdoors Poconos

After a short walk into the trail, there is an owl box up in the trees. These nesting boxes provide owls with a secure location to nest. Soon after passing the owl box, a small bridge spans over a gentle-flowing creek. This bridge was built by an Eagle Scout; his father still maintains the bridge.

After the bridge, a ten-minute walk on the main path leads to the waterfall— Diana’s Bath. Many people end their hike here, but as hiking guides, we know there is so much more to the Caldeno Falls trail beyond Diana’s Bath. 

Although the Caldeno Falls trail (green dot trail) is one of the shorter, less intense trails on the Appalachian, I still recommend novice hikers seek the expertise of a guide or other experienced hiker.

It can be tricky finding the 17-foot waterfall since there are lots of deer trails that lead to endless loops along the route to the falls. The trail becomes quite narrow and has sheer drop-offs as you get closer to Caldeno Falls. I recommend hiking boots or any shoe with good traction. There are a lot of roots on the ground, and sheer drop-offs; wearing the appropriate footwear is a must. 

After the waterfall, continue on the trail to the highest point of the mountain. Along the way, you will encounter the mile-long rock. The mile-long rock was a part…

Nanticoke Riverfest, Sandcastle Building Contest Highlight This Weekend’s Events Calendar

We’re just a few days removed now from the fantastic July 4th holiday weekend. We certainly hope everyone had a great time celebrating Independence Day here in the coastal region.

But the Summer of 2021 rolls on this week with several more fantastic mid-year events planned at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.

And whatever you happen to have planned for this second weekend of July, make it a memorable one while the weather is still warm and the beaches are alive with excitement.

Have a great few days everyone!

NOTE: We also wanted to mention that the popular Funland Amusement Park on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk will no longer be requiring advance reservations effective Thursday, July 8, and will be reverting back to its long-time practice of selling individual tickets for all rides. Great news!

Nanticoke Riverfest (July 10)

One of the summer’s most popular festivals returns this weekend after a one-year hiatus, when the Nanticoke Riverfest again takes center stage in nearby Seaford.

The highlight of this annual event is the popular float-in, which begins at 8:30 a.m., on Saturday, July 10. So grab an intertube or anything else that floats on the water and join hundreds of other festival goers on a long and relaxing float down the Nanticoke River.

Grappenhall teacher braves Mohican as part of fundraiser in memory of pupil

A TEACHER from Grappenhall is embracing his new hair style after bravely shaving his hair it as part of a charity event.

Greg Allcock had hair styled into a Mohican as part of the ‘Lop the Mop’ challenge.

The challenge meant the more money raised, the shorter the haircut, with all funds donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Greg, a computer teacher at Wirral Grammar School for Boys, chose to raise money for the charity after one of the school’s pupils tragically died from cancer after a long battle.

After over £800 was raised for the challenge, Greg was set to face a Mohican.

All money raised will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust

All money raised will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust

The challenge took place Thursday, 2 July when one of the maths teachers, Mr Thomason, volunteered to style a Mohican on Greg and the event was livestreamed on the school’s Facebook page.

The 48 year old said: ‘‘The challenge was brought about by the staff and pupils at Wirral Grammar School for Boys raising over £800 for Teenage Cancer Trust.

‘‘I would like to say a special thank you to the pupils, staff, parents and many others who have given so generously and supported the ‘Lop the Mop’ challenge.

‘‘It really demonstrates what can be achieved when so many people choose to come together to support a worthy charity.’’

All Aboard! Tuckerton Seaport Kicks Off Summer Ferry Rides to LBI

(Photo by Ryan Morrill)

Ferry service shuttling folks between the Tuckerton Seaport and Beach Haven got underway on Saturday. There was an 11 a.m. departure waiting for those who had just enjoyed the Tuckerton holiday parade, ready to motor across the bay to enjoy the afternoon in the southernmost town center on Long Beach Island.

Capt. Dick Gouldey awaited at the dock, alongside tour guides Taylor Katchum and Bailey Holcomb, to welcome passengers aboard the Pohatcong II, a 40-foot pontoon boat with two motors and two floats, suitable for navigating the shallow Tuckerton Creek.

Holcomb explained to passengers that the Pohatcong II is named after its predecessor (the Pohatcong I), a steam-powered vessel that ferried people from the Tuckerton Railroad over to Beach Haven in the 1800s. Because the Lenni-Lenape were the first people in the area, the Pohatcong takes its name from an Algonquian word meaning “stream between two hills.”

According to Katchum, because the first European settlers to colonize the Tuckerton area in the 1680s were Quakers, and therefore passivists, they had a more peaceful coexistence with the natives than that in most other areas. Despite the relocation of most Eastern tribes to the Midwest, indigenous people remain in New Jersey today. The Lenni-Lenape headquarters are in Bridgeton, Katchum said.
