GNADENHUTTEN — It was a somber event, fitting for the remembrance of the massacre of 96 Christian Delaware Indians, on March 8, 1782, by Pennsylvania militia.

The ceremony opened with a prayer in Munsee, from Theresa Johnson of Moraviantown, Canada, a prayer in Mohican, by Larry Madden of Wisconsin, and a prayer in Lenape was presented by Levi Randoll of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. More than 100 people came out on this cold day to honor those who had needlessly lost their lives. A ceremonial fire was lit and was permitted to burn throughout the day.

There was local representation as well. County Commissioner Chris Abbuhl, Joe Bonamico, of Trumpet in the Land, Wendy Zucal, of Dennison Railroad, and Pastor of the Dover Moravian Church John Wallace, for Schoenbrunn. Each gave a brief introduction and spoke about the massacre. The Indian Valley High history class gathered and could later be seen taking tours of the cabins.

Following the service, those in attendance could place tobacco on the burial mound and leave a prayer.

“This tobacco is from Wisconsin and was discovered about five years ago in a seed cache. The seeds are thought to be 400-600 years old,” explained Madden.

A Traditional Native feast was served that included berries and bean soup, with a plate of the food…
