No Comments on Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association expands its global reach

The Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA) is set to expand its global presence by participating in the inaugural Andean Hemp & Cannabis Trade Forum in Peru. Organized by the Global Cannabis Network Collective (GCNC) and MCd by Benzinga Cannabis managing director Javier Hasse, this event will explore the evolving legal framework of cannabis in South America and opportunities for launching hemp and medical cannabis brands in the region.

ICIA’s leadership, including founder Rob Pero and executive director Mary Jane Oatman, will join these important discussions.

Expanding International Presence

This marks another milestone in ICIA’s growing international activities. Earlier this year, Pero spoke at the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC) in Berlin. Pero, a cannabis entrepreneur and member of the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, participated in a panel discussing emerging cannabis markets.

Mary Jane Oatman is an enrolled member of the Nez Perce Tribe and a descendant of the Delaware Tribe.

Being at the forefront of her organization, she will also be a part of another international event, representing ICIA at the We Mean Business Summit in San Juan, Puerto Rico next September. In this manner, she will bring her extensive experience in cannabis advocacy and ethical background to an international audience.

“As we gather in Peru and Puerto Rico, let’s ask ourselves how Indigenous people everywhere can share knowledge and work within the growing cannabis industry to make positive change and bring the benefits of the cannabis industry home to all of our communities,” said Pero in a press release shared with Benzinga Cannabis.

Delaware tribe: Wolfe Neck contents should remain secure for now

No Comments on Delaware tribe: Wolfe Neck contents should remain secure for now

LEWES — While he remains hopeful that the archaeological contents of the Wolfe Neck Site will be made public, Chief Brad KillsCrow of the Delaware Tribe of Indians said he favors secrecy and security right now, while negotiations with government agencies continue.

Since 1978, the site — currently closed to visitors but adjacent to Cape Henlopen State Park — has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Plus, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control confirms that it contains “Native American and post-contact historic period” archaeological areas. It also includes a Sussex County spray irrigation system.

Sussex County leases the land from DNREC, which has accepted Federal Highway Administration funding toward a trail project there.

This makes the administration the lead federal agency on the project, meaning it is tasked to provide “stewardship and oversight,” according to Nancy Singer, an FHA spokesperson.

The process it is stewarding is a review of the U.S. Antiquities Act, which requires that impacts to archaeological sites be considered in federal projects.

Ms. Singer confirmed that this proposal is still in the initial design phase, one portion of which is completing ongoing studies of the area, It also means that the administration is responsible for conducting negotiations with the tribes, talks that cannot be delegated to state or local agencies, she said.

“While there are currently no tribal lands in Delaware, the Federal Highway Administration consults with two tribes that have ancestral ties to the area: the Delaware Nation and the Delaware Tribe of Indians,” headquartered in Oklahoma, Ms. Singer said.

Both she and Chief KillsCrow added that the agency and his tribe have been in regular contact and that negotiations continue.

The chief said his primary goal is protection of the location and that he supports efforts to evaluate its…

Smithsonian Design Triennial names participants to create 25 installations related to the concept of home

No Comments on Smithsonian Design Triennial names participants to create 25 installations related to the concept of home

This fall, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum will exhibit Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial. The museum has commissioned 25 site-specific installations examining “design’s role in shaping the physical and emotional realities of home across the U.S.,” as stated in a press release. The multi-floor exhibition will be on view at the Andrew and Louise Carnegie Mansion from November 2, 2024 through Summer 2025. It will be the seventh iteration of the museum’s Design Triennial series, which began in 2000, and is in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

“All of [the installations] gesture towards a greater understanding of how we are living in this nation and how design plays an active role in this shared experience,” Maria Nicanor, director of Cooper Hewitt, said in a statement.

The museum previously announced the three curators of the upcoming Smithsonian Design Triennial: Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, curator of contemporary design and Hintz Secretarial Scholar at Cooper Hewitt; Christina L. De León, associate curator of Latino design at Cooper Hewitt; and Michelle Joan Wilkinson, curator of architecture and design at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Johnston Marklee will oversee the exhibition design.

Each floor at the Andrew and Louise Carnegie Mansion will be dedicated to a specific theme. Going Home presents the diverse ways that domestic spaces impact people’s “experiences, behaviors, and values,” while Seeking Home explores the concept of home through the “lenses of cultural heritage, the human body, imagined landscapes, and refuge.” The final theme, Building Home, pushes beyond the single-family construction model to consider new ways of conceptualizing and designing the home, such as cooperative living, community space, land stewardship, decolonial practices, and historic preservation.

Selected participants include Leong Leong, architecture studio and design consultancy founded…

No Comments on With museum exhibits closed, tribes await return of artifacts

NEW YORK — Tucked within the expansive Native American halls of the American Museum of Natural History is a diminutive wooden doll that holds a sacred place among the tribes whose territories once included Manhattan.

For more than six months now, the ceremonial Ohtas, or Doll Being, has been hidden from view after the museum and others nationally took dramatic steps to board up or paper over exhibits in response to new federal rules requiring institutions to return sacred or culturally significant items to tribes — or at least to obtain consent to display or study them.

Museum officials are reviewing more than 1,800 items as they work to comply with the requirements while also eyeing a broader overhaul of the more than half-century-old exhibits.

‘);]]>

But some tribal leaders remain skeptical, saying museums have not acted swiftly enough. The new rules, after all, were prompted by years of complaints from tribes that hundreds of thousands of items that should have been returned under the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 still remain in museum custody.

“If things move slowly, then address that,” said Joe Baker, a Manhattan resident and member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, descendants of the Lenape peoples European traders encountered more than 400 years ago. “The collections, they’re part of our story, part of our family. We need them home. We need them close.”

Sean Decatur, the New York museum’s president, promised tribes will hear from officials soon. He said staff these past few months have been reexamining the displayed objects in order to begin contacting tribal communities.

No Comments on Native American tribes are still waiting for items from US museums

Hundreds of thousands of items that should have been returned under the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 still remain in museum custody.

Europe’s museums are overflowing with artefacts seized or looted from African, South American and Asian nations during colonial rule.

The British Museum now has a dedicated page on its website to ‘contested objects’ like the Benin Bronzes or two large stone moai from Easter Island.

Across the pond, the situation over the display of Native American artefacts is equally contentious.

Hundreds of thousands of items that should have been returned under the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 still remain in museum custody.

Delaware unveils findings on recent study to revitalize state’s arts and culture

No Comments on Delaware unveils findings on recent study to revitalize state’s arts and culture

However, the Art Alliance’s CREATE plan – which will officially be unveiled July 30 – adopts a broader approach by including for-profit arts organizations and individual artists, uncovering larger figures and showing greater resiliency in recovering from challenges.

“We learned through this study that, in 2021, Delaware’s creative economy supported 18,551 local jobs, which is about 4.1% of the state’s employment,” Krischling highlighted. “We also looked at general economic output and learned in 2020 that the sector added $2.2 billion to our economy and that largely we’ve recovered since pre-pandemic levels.”

As part of their study, the organization aimed to develop a map that serves as a central hub for art enthusiasts and those interested in art-related resources. They have released a map offering easy access to artist locations offering design and creative services, music recording and publishing, cultural and natural heritage, and more.

In addition to the map, the study offers 25 actionable recommendations to support the arts and culture sector. Some of these policy recommendations include creating pay guidelines for creatives, ensuring equitable funding and offering professional development and training.

“It includes developing a statewide cultural economy brand. Some of our other recommendations look at developing the state’s creative economy by establishing creative hubs in each county by updating permitting processes for public events,” Krischling said. “We’re also looking to provide support for the industry including creative economy and economic development conversations by creating some government position that supports the arts.”

Overall, DAA has two goals: supporting the arts sector and attracting tourists to the state.

“We want Delaware to import tourists, right, not to be an exporter of Delawareans who leave to go enjoy arts…
