According to a study done by online fashion retailer Boohoo, Pennsylvania is among the top-10 most festival-obsessed states in the country― and the Poconos are no exception. April kicks off festival season in northeast Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley.
Read on for our staff’s festival picks.
Pennsylvania’s 9th annual Cannabis Festival is headed to the Tricky Triangle. The festival, themed “Pocono420” will take place April 22-23 at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond. The Scranton-based festival is one of the largest on the East Coast, second only to the Boston Freedom Rally.
Presented by CuraLeaf, the 18 and over festival boasts two concert stages, more than 300 vendors and 30-plus food vendors. Enjoy headliners such as Bong Hits for Jesus and Space Kamp on the day stage, and rock out to Kottonmouth Kings and Mendo Dope for Saturday night concerts, among other acts.

(The Center Square) – A new effort to redesignate the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area as a national park and preserve has reignited old controversies among property owners wary of further government intrusion.
Facing off on the issue are the Delaware River National Park & Lenape Preserve Alliance – who is spearheading the congressional petition for the redesignation – and the Delaware Water Gap Defense Fund, also known as No National Park, who feel the area’s current status is satisfactory.
Bob Fitch, media liaison for the Lenape Preserve Alliance, says it wants to place “this gem of our national heritage into the jeweled crown of the national park system where it has always belonged,” enhancing its protection and prestige.
The recreation area spans 70,000 acres along a 40-mile stretch of the Delaware River, from northeastern Pennsylvania to the western edge of the Kittatinny Mountains in New Jersey’s Warren and Sussex counties. At the time of its original designation, it did not fit the characteristics of a national park.
The petition calls for 9,760 acres – 14% of the area – to become a national park, the majority of which surrounds the river. Over 56,000 acres would become a preserve on which hunting would be allowed.

Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve
No National Park worries, however, that doing so will increase traffic, damage infrastructure in the park and surrounding communities, cost too much money, restrict hunting and farming, and lose more property through eminent domain.
The group’s concerns stem from historical precedent – the memory of which causes…

In a special service on Sunday, April 16 at 10 a.m., the Unitarian Congregation of West Chester will pay reparations to the Lenni Lenape people. For the service, the congregation will be joined by Chief Chuck DeMund of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, who will share stories, history, and teachings, as well as information about current struggles for recognition. All proceeds from the special collection will benefit the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania.
The reparations program began with a conversation the congregation’s Minister, Rev. Dan Schatz, held with the Social Justice Committee and Board of Trustees. “We often acknowledge that our building stands on land that is part of the Lenape homeland,” said Rev. Schatz, “but without reparations, acknowledgments don’t mean that much.” The congregation, which shares its offering with community organizations once a month, decided to commit one Sunday a year to the Lenape people. “Many of us will be giving reparations for the land on which our homes sit, as well as the congregation,” said Rev. Schatz, “and this year is just a beginning.”

In giving reparations, Rev. Schatz acknowledges the complicated issues involved. “There are Lenape who were forcibly removed to reservations in the West, and there are Lenape here in Pennsylvania, struggling for legal recognition. Both deserve support. We decided to begin by giving to the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania because it offers us the opportunity to be directly engaged and begin to build relationships.”
Pennsylvania is one of only 13 states that that does not recognize a tribe within its boundaries. The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, a 501c3, is lobbying the state legislature for the same status granted to Lenape communities…

Roger Oberbeck: Solano Voices
California is considering giving reparations of $360,000 to descendants of Black slaves, at a cost of up to $800 billion.
There is a list of 69 massacres of Native Americans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_massacres_in_North_America), where many women and children were killed, including the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre (400 killed, 1846 Sacramento River Massacre (700 killed), 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre (250 killed), and Clear Lake Massacre (400 killed).
Native American tribes have had their ancestral land taken from them illegally. The United States made 368 treaties with Native American tribes from 1778 to 1871.
As settlers moved into the Great Lakes region the Shawnee, Lenape, Miami, Ottawa, Ojibwa and Potawatomi fought a battle at Fallen Timbers, and were forced to give up large areas of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin in the Greenville Treaty.
In 1809, the Treaty of Fort Wayne between the U.S. and Lenape, Potawatomi, Miami, and Eel River tribes, took 2.5 million acres of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois for about 2 cents per acre.
While Andrew Jackson served as a federal commissioner from 1814 to 1824, he negotiated nine of 11 treaties with Choctaw, Chickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles and Cherokee southeast tribes, which gave up 50 million acres of land in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
In 1830, President Andrew Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act, which the U.S. granted land west of the Mississippi River to Native American tribes who agreed to give up their homelands, which gave 25 million acres of land in the South to settlers. When many Cherokee resisted giving up their ancestral land in the southeast the U.S. signed a treaty with the Cherokee at New Echota in 1835, which traded 7 million acres of Cherokee land for $5 million. Many Cherokees…
