MAHWAH, NJ — A local chief of one of New Jersey’s native tribes — the Ramapough Lenape — was arrested in Mahwah Tuesday on a trespassing charge, police confirmed.
Ramsey-based attorney Lydia Cotz said Wednesday that Chief Dwaine Perry’s arrest was unfair, and that he will fight the charge in court next month.
She said he has been the victim of a power struggle over his title for some time.
Members of a local group voted to strip Perry of the title of chief in spring, according to a statement released by the group last month.
Some time after the vote, they removed photos of him at the Ramapough Community Center, says Cotz.
Cotz said that when Perry went there to restore them on Tuesday, police showed up and arrested him.
“We believe this was a wrongful arrest on the part of the Mahwah Police Department,” she said. “We believe Chief Perry will be vindicated from this unfortunate situation.”
Mahwah Police Captain Michael Blondin said in a statement for Patch, “He was charged with one count of trespassing on a criminal complaint and released a short time later. As for the statements made by Mr. Perry’s attorney, the charge against Mr. Perry is an accusation as a result of the investigation by responding officers at the time they were requested to the location.”
He added, “Mr. Perry is innocent until proven guilty and will be afforded his moment in court in the near future.”
Cotz said Perry has a court date on Aug. 5.
Of the police, she said, “Who are you to come up here and take a side? This is a civil matter. He should have never been arrested.”
The members who voted against him released a statement last month…

There’s no record of blue catfish in the Nanticoke River until about 2010, more than 30 years after the Deep South river monsters first arrived in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Today, fishermen can hardly sink a line into the bay tributary on the Eastern Shore without snagging a big blue cat, typically fighting hard.
Plenty didlast weekend, when a few dozen turned out for the fourth annual Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby. The no-fee tournament targets blue catfish, bottom-feeders that have stormed into Eastern Shore waters, multiplying prolifically and eating just about anything they can get their whiskered lips around.
As a 1:30 p.m. weigh-in approached Saturday, boats docked at a landing in Sharptown, about 10 miles from the river’s Delaware headwaters. Fishermen disembarked, lugging coolers and dangling blue cats from stringers.
“The goal is to make long-term predators of these fish,” said Noah Bressman, the Salisbury University scientistwho organizes the Nanticoke tournament.
Bressman, 31, got his start studying amphibious fish such as the Northern snakehead, which can hoof short distances over land. He tattooed his passions on his body: A neon blue, skeletal fish on his left forearm renders some of his own biochemical artwork; on the right, a school of amphibious mummichogs dart toward his wrist while a snakehead, baring reptilian teeth, gives chase.
Bressman’s interest in invasive species eventually led to Chesapeake blue cats. When he first cut one open, a 47-pounder from the Nanticoke, he found a whole wood duck in its stomach.
The discovery was exhilarating — it drew headlines, and Bressman plans to get a tattoo of the scene soon — but not encouraging.
Virginia wildlife officials released blue catfish, often sought for their taste and size, in some of its bay tributaries in 1974 in a…
Persons associated with McCarter Theatre Center make this acknowledgment during many events at the Princeton venue.
McCarter honors the legacy of the original storytellers and art makers of this region, while actively engaging with Native storytellers, artists, students, audience members and leaders through the work we create and feature on our stages today. We also seek to welcome and work more closely with the known present-day tribal communities in our local area: the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; the Powhatan Renape Nation, The Nanticoke of Millsboro Delaware and the Lenape of Cheswold Delaware.
McCarter’s building, part of the Princeton University campus, stands on part of the ancient homeland and traditional territory of the Lenape people. We pay respect to Lenape peoples past, present, and future and their continuing presence in the homeland and throughout the Lenape diaspora. Many Lenape were forcibly removed west and north by European settler-colonists starting in the 1600s.
In The Grandfathers Speak: Native American Folk Tales of the Lenapé People, Lenape Nation chief and scholar Hìtakonanu’laxk explains that the Lenape “concept of land is that it is not a thing to be possessed, but rather something sacred and alive. We have a saying, ‘We do not own the land, we are of the land, we belong to it.’”
William Trent House Museum should adopt a similar preamble that recognizes the slaves who were trapped in such dire circumstances. The fact that Trent owned and traded slaves undoubtedly connects him to most atrocities associated with human trafficking, captivity, and bondage. Mind you, Trent House admits enslavement of people of African descent and the legacy of slavery is part of the history of the Trent House as well as of our state and nation….. While often painful, we are continuing to learn about and present…
