Celebrating Native American Heritage Month

No Comments on Celebrating Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month, a month nationally dedicated to celebrating Native American identity and tradition while amplifying Native American voices. Native American Heritage Month is a time for individuals to cultivate a deeper knowledge and appreciation for Native American contributions — both modern and historic — and can be a great point from which to continue year-round education and recognition of Native American cultures. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, here are four locations in and around Philadelphia providing opportunities for education about Native American history, identity and culture.

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania Cultural Center and Trading Post

Open most Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania Cultural Center and Trading Post hosts an array of educational artifacts and pamphlets about the Lenape. The Lenape are the Indigenous people of the “Lenapehokink,” or “land of the Lenape,” which includes areas like southern New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. The center is home to the University of Pennsylvania-hosted exhibit “Fulfilling a Prophecy: The Past and Present of the Lenape in Pennsylvania,” which features historical Lenape family heirlooms, traditional art and much more.

The National Constitution Center

Throughout the month, the National Constitution Center, located in Philly’s historic district, is offering a variety of programs celebrating Native American communities and their pivotal roles in U.S. history. Some featured activities are available daily, like a tribal mapping activity where visitors can find which Native American tribes lived or continue to live in their hometown. Other opportunities are on specific dates, like a Nov. 29 lecture titled “Scholar Talk: Native Americans’ Fight for Civil Rights and Sovereignty Featuring Professor Paul Rosier,” which discusses Native American advocacy for tribal sovereignty and civil rights post-World War II.

Shenandoah Valley man helped negotiate first formal U.S. treaty with Native Americans

No Comments on Shenandoah Valley man helped negotiate first formal U.S. treaty with Native Americans

The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Cardinal News has embarked on a three-year project to tell the little-known stories of Virginia’s role in the march to independence. This project is supported, in part, by a grant from the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission. Find all our stories from this project on the Cardinal 250 page.

It’s likely few people knew the western frontier of Virginia better than Thomas Lewis when the U.S. declared independence from Britain in 1776.

The amount of interaction he had with Native Americans before being appointed to negotiate the first formal U.S. treaty with them is unclear.

Lewis hailed from a family that settled in Augusta County in 1732, near what is now Staunton, and in 1746, while still in his 20s, he was appointed the first surveyor of Augusta County.

In Colonial Virginia, the fundamental job of a surveyor was to transfer land from the crown to private ownership, Ron Bailey wrote in the Colonial Williamsburg Journal.

Author Sarah Hughes wrote in her book, “Surveyors and Statesmen: Land Measuring in Colonial Virginia,” that “after 1740, as vast areas of western land were organized into counties, the colonial county surveyors of the region rose in power and prestige in an unprecedented way.”

While prestigious, the men appointed surveyors, including George Washington and Peter Jefferson — father of Thomas Jefferson — earned their money in the rugged occupation that required traversing some of the region’s most unforgiving terrain. Lewis worked with and corresponded with both men.

Of surveying with Peter Jefferson, Lewis wrote: “It was with the greatest Difficulty we Could get along-the mountains being prodigiously full of fallen Timber & Ivey as thick as it could grow, so interwoven that horse or man Could hardly force his way through it….

No Comments on Lenape Valley Foundation’s Community Care Celebration Raises Over $45,000

Lenape Valley Foundation (LVF), a nonprofit provider of behavioral health services, held its Community Care Celebration awards dinner on Thursday, October 24 at The Warrington in Warrington, PA. The event raised more than $45,000 and recognized several individuals and organizations for their community advocacy.

Honorees included: Sharon Curran, retired LVF CEO, recipient of the Ed Knopf, M.D. Award; Barbara N. Lyons, Esq., a local philanthropist, community advocate and former LVF Board member, recipient of the Community Champion Award; the Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc., a nonprofit offering a comprehensive and balanced continuum of quality prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery services for Bucks County, recipient of the Health and Wellness Champion Award; and the Village Improvement Association (VIA), a nonprofit committed to enhancing the health and welfare of the central Bucks County community, recipient of the Stakeholder Champion Award.

More than 130 people attended the event including Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick and State Senator Frank Farry who provided proclamations recognizing the outstanding contributions of each of the awardees to the community.

In addition to the awards presentation, the event also featured a cocktail hour, musical entertainment, a wine pull fundraiser and dinner. Top sponsors included Gorski Engineering, Inc., Fulton Bank and Good Stuff Thrift.

Proceeds will support the opening of the Bright Path Center, a new behavioral health crisis center in Bucks County. The center, which will be located in Doylestown, will greatly improve the environment and quality of care for children, adults and families who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. Anticipated to open in 2025 and the first of its kind in Pennsylvania, the new crisis center will bring together under one roof all the components of crisis services that are now fractured across our system: mental health, drug and alcohol, intellectual disabilities and more, in an environment designed to deescalate the…

Spotlight: Lenape Chamber Ensemble — Friday, Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church, Upper Black Eddy; Sunday, Delaware Valley University, Doylestown

For 50 years in Bucks County, the Lenape Chamber Ensemble has presented music with a name honoring the indigenous Lenape people (coincidentally, it’s Native American Heritage Month). Listeners have two opportunities to join in the anniversary celebration with a hefty Baroque program, performed by musicians bearing impressive credentials. Lionel Party — formerly of the New York Philharmonic and the ensemble’s harpsichordist — curated the program, and his collaborators are Cyrus Beroukhim and Katie Hyun, violins; William Hakim, viola; Alberto Parrini, cello; and Motomi Igarashi, bass.

And while most of the composers on the menu are well-known — J.S. Bach, Couperin, Telemann, and Vivaldi — in between are two outliers. For almost 25 years, Jacques Aubert (1689-1753) was the first violinist of the Paris Opera, and his 1738 Chaconne for two violins, scarcely seven minutes long, is an elegant bit of 18th-century arcana. And though Pierre Gautier de Marseille, a contemporary of Lully, was mainly known for his operas, none of them has survived. In 1696 Gautier and his brother died during a sea storm, and his Suite in G Minor for Violins, Cello, and Harpsichord was published posthumously in 1707.

Nov. 15 at 8 p.m., Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church, 188 Upper Tinicum Church Road, Upper Black Eddy; Nov. 17 at 3 p.m., Life Sciences Building Auditorium, Delaware Valley University, 700 East Butler Avenue, Doylestown, purchase tickets.
