NANTICOKE — Greater Nanticoke Area School District’s spring break will run April 14-16, exactly as scheduled, Superintendent Ron Grevera announced at the start of Thursday’s regular monthly meeting. But that’s actually unusual, he added after the meeting.

Spring break is often eaten up by snow make up days, something that has become a rarity in schools since the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. Districts developed extensive remote-only education abilities on the Internet, and the state introduced “Flexible Instruction Days” as a recognized use of the technology, which most local districts have been taking advantage of this winter.

One change was made to the April calendar: The monthly board meeting was moved to April 21. It had been slated, as usual, for the second Thursday of the Month, but this April that will be the Thursday before Easter.

The board also:

• Accepted the resignations of Paul Gerrity and Chynna Jackson as assistant softball coaches, School Psychologist Rachel Kozich, and cleaners Bonnie Long and Serah Purcel

• Approved use of the Elementary Center gym by Nanticoke Area Little League for player tryouts March 19-20.

• Approved the purchase…

Massacre remembered in Gnadenhutten

Cindy Davis  |  Times-Reporter correspondent

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. Many performed their tribal songs and exchanged stories.

Those who spoke during the program acknowledged the larger than usual crowd that had assembled.

“We still talk about Gnadenhutten all these years later,” said Randoll. “Many from Oklahoma don’t have the ways and means to get here. We’re going to take what we see today back home and share it with them.”

Daniel “Strongwalker” Thomas, of Anadarko, Oklahoma, insisted that something good could come from such a moment. “You can help us heal from this moment even though it is a solemn occasion,” he said.

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…

Delaware Tribe

Other tribes join EBCI in opposition to Congressional route for federal recognition   

 

By SCOTT MCKIE B.P.

One Feather Staff

 

Several other federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations have joined with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) to oppose groups seeking federal recognition as an Indian tribe through Congressional means.  A letter was sent to Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) who serve as the chairperson and vice chairperson for the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on Monday, Feb. 28 that was signed by Principal Chief Richard G. Sneed and eight more tribal leaders.

The letter states, “…we respectfully request that you defer consideration of groups seeking federal acknowledgment to the Department of the Interior’s Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA).”

The letter is signed by Chief Sneed; Chief Ben Barnes, Shawnee Tribe; Chief Cyrus Ben, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; Chairwoman Lori Gooday Ware, Fort Sill Apache Tribe; President Deborah Dotson, Delaware Nation; Gov. Bill Anoatubby, Chickasaw Nation; Assistant Chief Jeremy Johnson, Delaware Tribe of Indians; President Jeffrey Stiffarm, Fort Belknap Indian Community; and Chairwoman Margo Gray, United Indian Nations of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

The letter went on to state, “Federally acknowledged tribes are sovereigns with significant governmental powers impacting both Indians and non-Indians, including the authority to tax, regulate activity within tribal territory, and take away personal freedoms through the exercise of criminal jurisdiction.  Acknowledgment decisions should be made on merit and not politics.”

As of now, a total of four bills have been introduced into Congress that would provide federal recognition to a group including:

The tribal leaders state in the letter, “If the Congress enacts any of these bills, hundreds of other groups claiming to be tribes also will seek federal legislation to circumvent the OFA process.”

For years, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) have opposed federal recognition for the Lumbees.  Multiple…

GLEANINGS FROM THE CORN FLATS: Land acknowledgement, an invitation – The Daily Gazette

It is nigh to impossible to wholly address the history of Niskayuna or Schenectady (or any place in the United States for that matter) without first honestly coming to terms with the presence and contributions of the Indigenous People who occupied these lands before European arrival.

When Henry Hudson and Dutch East India Company first appeared in the region, and for several decades after, the territory was occupied, not always peacefully, by the Mohawk and Mohican Nations. By the time both Schenectady and Niskayuna were settled, conflict between the two Nations had forced the Mohican to the east side of the Hudson River.

The Mohawk were one of the five nations in the Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee) Confederation. Until the Revolutionary era, mutual interest in and mutual benefit from the fur trade, as well as the Dutch, and later the English, interest in a military alliance with the very powerful Confederation, contributed to a shared and jointly advantageous co-dependent relationship. In the years before American Independence was secured, grievances against the European/American settlers became more routine and severe; these grievances not only undermined the Iroquois-English alliance but also significantly weakened the once-powerful Iroquois Confederation. After the Treaty of Paris was signed, many Mohawk removed themselves to British Canada.

Nevertheless, the places we live today are irrevocably linked with the Mohawk people. Our city, county, and town names reflect their language. The “place beyond the pines,” or the Mohawk word “Schau-naugh-ta-da” (which actually referred to Albany), became Schenectady. Also, “Ca-nas-ti-gi-o-ne” (in one of its many spellings) or “extensive corn fields” became Niskayuna. Furthermore, becoming the “gateway to the west” was made possible with pre-war collaboration with the Mohawk and the rest of the Haudenosaunee Confederation.

We are today certainly aware that European infringement on Indigenous territory in our area and in North…
