Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans reconnects youth with homeland

ICT News

By Stewart Huntington, ICT News

 

Stewart Huntington:
Janiyakuha Webster is a counselor ushering Stockbridge-Munsee students from their reservation in what is now Wisconsin to visit for the first time their ancestral homelands in what is now New York and Massachusetts. She wants to share with the youth something she experienced on the land.

Janiyakuha Webster:
Yeah, my first experience here was definitely like a wave that hit me. It was something that I couldn’t really explain, but it was definitely like it feels really good to be here. And I know the kids here too also feel that way.

Stewart Huntington:
In July, Webster made the 17-hour drive from Bowler, Wisconsin, with nine youths, to visit territory their ancestors were driven from nearly two centuries ago. It was the third year for the Youth Visitation Project, founded by Shawn Stephens through his organization, Red Road Reclamation.

Shawn Stephens:
Bringing them back to get in touch with our ancestral lands. We all grew up in Wisconsin, most of us never setting foot out here, especially in my generation. When I was younger, 99% of our people have never been out here. We are trying hard to help reclaim that identity, reclaim our culture, reclaim our languages, reclaim our children who are lost in the system.

Stewart Huntington:
Stephens too wanted to share something profound he experienced on his first visit to the homelands many years ago.

Shawn Stephens:
It just seemed very magical. When I came, it just felt like the ancestors were — you could feel them all around. Almost like, driving down the road, it’s almost like you could see them kind of peeking around the trees or something, watching us and happy that we were here. I couldn’t really…

The Night Pondexter Lit Up Her Future Team

The Phoenix Mercury were building something special in the early 2000s. The team made the playoffs in 2000, and they lost to the Los Angeles Sparks. Los Angeles swept them, and they lost to the Houston Comets in the next round.

Phoenix had some challenging years after that, and after going 8-26 in the 2003 season, they brought in a star. They selected Diana Taurasi with the first pick of the 2004 WNBA Draft

A few years later, the Mercury drafted Cappie Pondexter, who also played a significant role in the team’s success. She was an excellent scorer, and the duo of her and Taurasi was tough to stop.

Pondexter played with the Mercury from 2006 to 2009. Her best season in that time was in 2008, as she averaged 21.2 points, 4.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals. Pondexter helped the Mercury win two championships, and before the 2010 season, Phoenix sent her to the New York Liberty.

In that trade, the Mercury acquired Candice Dupree, who was in the same draft class as Pondexter. Dupree was consistent and efficient, and she helped the team win their third championship.

Pondexter had some big games in her time with the Mercury, and when it comes to playing against her future team, her best game happened in 2007….

William Starna’s History of the Mahican

Mahican Mohican HistoryMahican Mohican HistoryFrom Homeland to New Land: A History of the Mahican Indians, 1600-1830 (University of Nebraska Press, 2013), is by William A. Starna, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the State University of New York College at Oneonta.

This history of the Mahicans begins with the appearance of Europeans on the Hudson River in 1609 and ends with the removal of these Native peoples to Wisconsin in the 1830s.

Marshaling the methods of history, ethnology, and archaeology, William A. Starna describes as comprehensively as the sources allow the Mahicans while in their Hudson and Housatonic Valley homeland; after their consolidation at the praying town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts; and following their move to Oneida country in central New York at the end of the American Revolution and their migration west.

The emphasis throughout this book is on describing and placing into historical context Mahican relations with surrounding Native groups: the Munsees of the lower Hudson; eastern Iroquoians; and the St. Lawrence and New England Algonquians. Starna also examines the Mahicans’ interactions with Dutch, English, and French interlopers.

The first and most transformative of these encounters was with the Dutch and the trade in furs, which ushered in culture change and the loss of Mahican lands. The Dutch presence, along with the new economy, worked to unsettle political alliances in the region that, while leading to new alignments, often engendered rivalries and war.

The result is an examination of the historical record that may become the definitive work on the Mahican people from the colonial period to the Removal Era.

Prospect Park honors Lenape culture with ‘Voices of Lunáapeew’ exhibit through Nov. 30 • Brooklyn Paper

Prospect Park Alliance Pow Wow

The Prospect Park Alliance, in collaboration with the Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective, have created the “Voices of Lunáapeew/Lenape” exhibit running through Nov. 30.

This Indigenous Peoples Day, Prospect Park is honoring the history and resilience of the land’s first inhabitants through a powerful blend of art, storytelling and celebration in Brooklyn.

The Prospect Park Alliance and the Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective (EL Collective) have joined forces to present “Eelunaapéewi Ehaptoonáakanal: Voices of Lunáapeew/Lenape,” a new video exhibition at the Lefferts Historic House running through Nov. 30. 

The exhibit, part of the ReImagine Lefferts initiative, features “video interviews with Lunáapeew/Lenape knowledge-keepers and culture bearers about their relationships to their ancestral homelands.”

George Stonefish, co-founder of the EL Collective and advisor for ReImagine Lefferts said the exhibit is meant to increase public understanding of the Lenape. 

“We are a nation who has been scattered to the winds because of the greed of not just the Dutch, but also the English after that and so forth, who chased us and massacred us for out land,” he said. “I want people to understand who the Lenape were and are, and the things we’ve given to modern culture that aren’t acknowledged.”

The exhibit honors the Lunáapeew/Lenape, whose name means “the ones who came from thought.” Their ancestral homelands, known as Lenapehoking, encompass what is now Brooklyn and much of the surrounding areas. The exhibition explores both their deep spiritual connection to the land and their enduring fight to preserve their culture in the face of centuries of displacement and colonization.
