Two SandHill Tribal members appointed to the Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas Nimoug

The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas (FANA) is continuing to expand both globally and internally.  A few months ago, FANA began to appoint Tribal members from each of its member Tribes to its Nimoug (congress).

I am honored to announce the appointment of two members of the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (SandHill) to the Federation’s Nimoug.

They are SandHIll members, Mr. Eric Majette and Mr. Obediah Fallou.  I will do a  summary of their backgrounds:

Mr. Majette has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management.  He is currently enrolled in the Masters of Science in Education program at Hunter College.

He has won numerous awards.  He brings over 18 years of extensive knowledge in media

production, spanning both the film and television sectors.  His journey through the entertainment sector has included positions such as Talent Coordinator and Executive Assistant to the President.

He will continue to pursue a career as a Producer.  

Mr. Majette has now begun to embrace his Indigenous ancestry and has become an active Tribal member of the SandHill.  Please see the attached document.

***********************************************************************

Mr. Obediah Townes Bey Fallou is a prime example of Scheyichbi’s (New Jersey) homegrown talent.  In 2019, a series of events unfolded that reignited his creativity as a lyricist.  After taking his Shahada and Bayat with Cheikh Sufi Ba and becoming a Talibe of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, he soon met his long-lost cousin, Norris “War Turtle” Francis Branham*, who taught him about his family’s place in the Lenni-Lenape nation, according to his lineage.  

Mr. Fallou has since sought to utilize his lyrical talents to educate, edify, and unite his people about the reality of who they truly are, as well as cultivate a bridge in the West for people of indigenous heritage…

Water Lantern Festival lights up Lake Lenape

Lake Lenape provided the backdrop for a night of unity and reflection as the Water Lantern Festival brought the community together on Saturday evening.

The festival, part of a national series that takes place in cities across the country, drew hundreds of participants to Mays Landing. Guests enjoyed live music, food trucks, local vendors, and family activities including a scavenger hunt, before gathering along the shoreline for the main event.

At sunset, the crowd released decorated lanterns carrying handwritten notes, wishes, and prayers. The glowing display stretched across the lake, symbolizing hope, healing, and new beginnings. Each participant received a kit that included a biodegradable lantern and LED light, making the launch both safe and environmentally friendly.

The Water Lantern Festival is designed to be inclusive and family-friendly, with discounted admission for children. A portion of proceeds also goes toward local and international charities, adding another layer of purpose to the evening.

The sight of lanterns drifting together across Lake Lenape was a sight to behold and brought the festival to a memorable close.

Shawnee Piles Up the Points Against Lenape

vs

09/26/25 – Away 42-14 W
09/27/24 – Home 28-14 W
09/08/23 – Away 27-23 W
09/09/22 – Away 14-3 W
11/25/21 – Away 35-21 W
+ 5 more games

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shawnee). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 42-14 win over the Lenape Indians. The Renegades have beaten the Indians the last five times they’ve met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Indians has come to flipping the script.

Shawnee now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Lenape, they are on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

Coming up, Shawnee will face off against Cherokee at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Lenape, they will take on Washington Township at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Minutemen’s defense has only allowed 5.5 points per game this season, so the Indians’ offense will have their work cut out for them.

Thinkery & Verse reimagine “The Tragedy of Macbeth” in Colonial Middlesex County

?>

originally published: 09/26/2025

Karen Alvarado and Justin Hofstad 

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) — Thinkery & Verse returns to the Church of St. John the Evangelist in New Brunswick with the World Premiere of The Tragedy of Macbeth, adapted by Dr. J.M. Meyer and Karen Eliza Alvarado and directed by Dr. J.M. Meyer. The production has a three-week limited engagement at the Assembly Hall at the Church of Saint John the Evangelist from October 8-25, 2025.

Set in colonial Middlesex County during the first wave of Scottish immigration into New Jersey, Meyer and Alvarado’s adaptation uses Shakespeare’s classic play to examine issues of race, gender, and war in Early America. Taking inspiration from Early American history and Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood, Shakespeare’s classic drama unfolds as a fable for the New World.

The year is 1700. The Dutch have lost their grip on the New World, and the first wave of Scots immigrants (including radical Quakers and Jacobite glory-seekers) are struggling for a foothold in the ancestral lands of the Lenape.

Lazarus Simmons, Alex Scoloveno, Carl Muhler, and Justin Hofstad 

Drawing inspiration from Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood, this Macbeth is both hauntingly familiar and startlingly new, where witches, war, and ambition unfold against the backdrop of race, gender, and early American identity.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Church of Saint John the Evangelist is located at 189 George Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
