Shawn Stevens strives to reconnect his people to the Berkshires

In recognition of Native American Heritage Month in November, MassLive asked readers to identify people who are leaders from the Indigenous community throughout the state, working to make a difference in their own area of interest, be it politics, education, business or the arts. Profiles of these leaders are being published in November.

These are people our readers have identified as inspirational, who may be doing good acts for their communities. They are being recognized for their accomplishments, leadership and commitment to inspire change.

Shawn Stevens

Age: 54

Community: Works in the Berkshires, lives in Bowler, Wisconsin.

His story: For 20 years, Shawn Stevens has worked to reconnect with his people’s ancestral lands in Massachusetts.

Enrolled with the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, based in Wisconsin, Stevens visits the Berkshires throughout the year “to build relationships between the Mohican people and local residents, fostering greater understanding of the region’s Indigenous history,” he said.

Stevens hosted the first powwow in Pittsfield after leading a Mohican drum group from their reservation in his hometown of Bowler, Wisconsin, in 2006. Pittsfield’s then-mayor, James Ruberto, presented the group with a key to the city. For Stevens, this moment sparked his “dream to bring more Mohican people back to their ancestral lands in the Berkshires,” he said.

He is also a co-director of Alliance for a Viable Future, based in the Berkshires, along with fellow co-director Lev Natan.

Since 2020, he‘s helped organize Great Barrington’s annual Indigenous Peoples Day Ceremonial Walk. This effort’s goal has been to bring Mohican people and local residents together to “build solidarity between communities,” he said.

“This walk is about coming together in a spirit of healing, both for the land and for all people,” he said. “It’s a reminder that we are all connected and…

Timber revenue from Mohican-Memorial State Forest reaches $130K in 2024

ASHLAND — Ashland County commissioners accepted a check Thursday morning that reflects timber harvesting out at Mohican-Memorial State Forest.

Chad Sanders, the forest’s manager, presented the $129,917.07 check.

State law allows the Ohio Division of Forestry to harvest timber as a forest-management operation. The spoils then get divided among the county, township and school district, with the schools getting the largest chunk.

Loudonville-Perrysville Exempted Village School District, this year, gets just under $65,000.

District superintendent Jen Allerding was not immediately available to comment.

The remaining funds, around $64,000, is split evenly among the Ashland County Board of Commissioners and Hanover Township.

Tornado boon

The last two years of timber operations revenue have been unusually swollen. A June 2022 tornado destroyed 480 acres of state forest, leaving behind a mess of fallen hardwoods and soft pines.

Not-so-happy trails: An update to Mohican landscape following June tornadoes

In 2023, timber operations revenue topped just north of $200,000 to be divided among L-P school district, Hanover Township and the county commissioners office. That meant the division of forestry harvested roughly 15,000 tons of oak, hickory, maple, poplar and other hardwoods.

Sanders said those hardwood species typically regenerate with time.

In 2022, the division of forestry harvested $28,720 worth of logs.

The Ohio Division of Forestry’s clean-up effort concluded in December 2023, Sanders said.

But thinning will continue in order to promote healthy growth of various trees and prevent fires. In Mohican-Memorial State Forest, much of the forest is comprised of white pine, a leftover of pine plantations planted “artificially to restore farmland,”…

Mohican Flowers Joins Nationwide Effort to ‘Petal It Forward’

Mohican Flowers Joins Nationwide Effort to ‘Petal It Forward’

Hanna Bergene-Bauer of Mohican Flowers joins florists across the nation today in the “Petal It Forward” effort to brighten spirits and lessen stress. (Photo provided)

COOPERSTOWN—Today, Mohican Flowers is joining dozens of floral industry businesses nationwide to surprise unsuspecting passersby in Cooperstown with two free flower bouquets each—one to keep and one to give to a friend, family member, colleague, or even a stranger.

The random-acts-of-kindness effort, called “Petal It Forward” and organized by the Society of American Florists, is designed to help people start their day with more smiles and less stress. The effort illustrates research from the University of North Florida that shows living with flowers reduces stress. The effort was purposefully planned for a Wednesday to help the mid-week slump.

The original idea behind Petal It Forward’s “keep one, share one” concept came after looking at statistics that showed while 80 percent of people reported receiving flowers makes them happy, even more, 88 percent, said that giving flowers makes them happy.

Hanna Bergene-Bauer of Mohican Flowers wanted to be a part of the mood-boosting effort, and make a difference in the community.

“We are lucky enough to experience the joy of flowers on a daily basis and any chance we get to share that joy, we gladly accept the opportunity,” said Bauer. “Through the positive effects of flowers, we hope to make someone’s day brighter, and provide a much-needed moment of calm amidst the hectic pace of life,” she added.

In addition to the Petal It Forward event this week, Mohican Flowers is also working with Bassett Healthcare Network to donate 200 pink carnations to support “GO PINK” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“It feels good to have the opportunity to give back…

Cooperstown florist joins effort to spread cheer

A Cooperstown florist will participate in a nationwide effort to brighten the day for random people.

According to a news release from the Society of American Florists, Mohican Flowers, 207 Main St. in Cooperstown, will surprise passersby Wednesday, Oct. 16, with two free flower bouquets each — one to keep and one to give to a friend, family member, colleague or stranger.

The random-acts-of-kindness effort — called Petal It Forward and organized by the SAF — “is designed to help people start their day with more smiles and less stress,” the release stated.

“Petal It Forward is the floral industry’s way of giving back,” said Elizabeth Daly, SAF’s manager of marketing and communications. She said the effort was purposefully planned for a Wednesday “to help the mid-week slump.”

“We are lucky enough to experience the joy of flowers on a daily basis and any chance we get to share that joy, we gladly accept the opportunity,” Hanna Bergene-Bauer of Mohican Flowers said. “Through the positive effects of flowers, we hope to make someone’s day brighter, and provide a much-needed moment of calm amidst the hectic pace of life.”

Bauer said the original idea behind Petal It Forward’s “keep one, share one” concept, which started in 2015, came after looking at statistics that showed while 80% of people reported receiving flowers makes them happy, even more (88%) said giving flowers makes them happy.

“We want to give people the chance to experience both,” she said. “Having flowers in your house or office brings joy by filling the space with natural beauty, vibrant colors and a sense of tranquility.”

In addition to the Petal It Forward event this week, Mohican Flowers is also working with Bassett Healthcare Network to donate 200 pink carnations…

Indigenous Influence on Capital Region

In recent years there have been increasingly louder calls to shift the narrative on the second Monday in October from Columbus to the indigenous groups, whose influence still reverberates across our landscape.

The first people to call the Capital Region home, long before we arrived, were the Mohican and Mohawk tribes. Their size dwindled after European settling, which at first was actually A mutually beneficial relationship with trading and the teachings of survival techniques; however, eventually wars, violent conflict and disease led to the demise of indigenous population. Nonetheless, their footprint is everywhere you look.

For example, one of the Capital Region’s biggest schools, Shenendehowa, is Mohawk for “great plain,” which refers to the flat, fertile land that we now call Clifton Park. The district renamed all of its schools using indigenous words in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

Niskayuna has roots in the Mohawk term for “extensive corn flats, although not many corn flats left here.

Down the road in Schenectady, the city’s name stems from a mohawk expression, meaning “over the pines”.

The name Schoharie” is derived from the native word to-was-scho-hor, meaning “driftwood”, A reference to the large driftwood piles that would accumulate in the Schoharie Creek.

Burnt Hills isn’t an obvious one—but according to the town of Ballston historian, it’s named so because of the native people who would burn the hillsides to encourage new growth that attracted deer for hunting—settlers in Schenectady saw the hills ablaze and named them the Burnt Hills.

Be careful who you say Adirondack around, as it was actually a derogatory term devised by the mohawk, meaning “barkeaters.”

The name Glens Falls has undergone multiple changes, but it stems from the Mohawk term for “hard place to get around, as the area had a waterfall at the time that blocked the Hudson River.”

Saratoga’s name can be traced back to…

Is The Last of the Mohicans (1992) Based on a True Story or a Fiction Book?

Are you eager to learn if The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is based on a true story or adapted from a work of fiction? This question has sparked discussions among fans. Set against the backdrop of the French and Indian War in 1757, the film captivates audiences with its intense narrative and remarkable performances, especially from Daniel Day-Lewis. Audiences are left wondering whether its storyline is rooted in real events or entirely fictional.

Let’s explore the creative influences that shaped The Last of the Mohicans (1992) and uncover its authentic roots.

Is The Last of the Mohicans (1992) based on a true story or a novel?

No, The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is not based on a true story or a novel. However, it is adapted from the 1826 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. This book is part of Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales series and takes place during the mid-18th century, amidst the French and Indian War.

The story does incorporates historical events, such as the Siege of Fort William Henry. Nevertheless, it is mostly a work of fiction with characters and scenarios created by Cooper for dramatic effect. The 1992 film adaptation, directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is notable for staying true to the original novel while making significant changes to the characters and storyline.

This film not only draws from Cooper’s literary work but also takes cues from a 1936 cinematic version. While resulting in a more action-packed and romanticized take on the source material.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992) cast features Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Eric Schweig, Russell Means, Jodhi May, Steven Waddington, Wes Studi, Maurice Roëves, Edward Blatchford, Patrice Chéreau, Tracey Ellis, and more.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is available for rent via…

Study: High levels of radon found in Indigenous community

WISCONSIN — High levels of radon were found in an Indigenous Wisconsin community during a University of Wisconsin study.

What You Need To Know

  • Over 50% of returned tests in a study of tribal member homes showed high levels of radon
  • Researchers said the highest result was 25 times the recommended exposure level for the radioactive gas
  • Before the study, researchers estimated that around only 10-20% of homes in that community would have high levels of the substance, since around one in 10 Wisconsin homes have high radon levels
  • As a part of the study, researchers also had professional radon mitigation completed for the participants who were affected by high radon levels

Over 50% of returned tests from tribal member homes showed high levels of radon, according to the collaborative study between the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, the Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center and the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation.

Researchers said the highest result was 25 times the recommended exposure level for the radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the ground.

Before the study, researchers estimated that around only 10-20% of homes in that community would have high levels of the substance, since around one in 10 Wisconsin homes have high radon levels. However, that percentage proved to be higher.

“This community/academic partnership was successful at radon mitigation in Native communities, where potentially harmful radon was found in 55% of tested homes—some of which had dangerously high levels commensurate to the risk of smoking more than a pack of cigarettes per day,” said Fumiko Chino, a radiation oncologist at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in a press release.

Radon is most prevalent in upper Midwest states and is the second leading cause of lung cancer…

‘The Mohican,’ About Corsican Goatherd’s Battle With Mafia, Sells to Several Territories Following Venice Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)

Brussels-based sales agency Be For Films has closed distribution deals on Frédéric Farrucci’s “The Mohican,” which world premiered in the Horizons Extra section of the Venice Film Festival.

Territories deals closed include Frenetic Films for Switzerland, Splendid Film for Germany and Austria, Edge Entertainment for Scandinavia, One From the Heart for Greece, and Imovision for Brazil.

More from Variety

The company is in discussion for deals for Benelux, Australia, U.S. and Japan.

The French distributor is Ad Vitam.

The French- and Corsican-language drama centers on Joseph, one of the last goatherds on the Corsican coastline, who receives a visit from the Mafia. They want to take his land. Despite the pressure, he says no, he won’t move.

After unwittingly killing the man sent to intimidate him, he becomes the victim of a merciless manhunt that takes place from the southern to the northern reaches of Corsica, in the middle of summer. As the days go by, the legend of Joseph spreads across the entire island thanks to his niece Vannina, embodying a resistance previously deemed impossible.

Farrucci said the film was inspired by a 2017 documentary he directed about a shepherd who worked on the south coast of Corsica. “He saw himself as an anomaly in his region, much like the last of the Mohicans,” he said.

Alexis Manenti heads the cast, which includes Mara Taquin, Pietri Théo Frimigacci, Paul Garatte and Marie-Pierre Nouveau.

The producers are Céline Chapdaniel and Diane Jassem. The production company is Koro Films.

Pamela Leu at Be For Films said: “We were fascinated by the feedback gathered from the industry and buyers right after the premiere in Venice, a very well-crafted and tense feature, lifted by Alexis Manenti perfect acting.”

Leu will be attending next week’s MIA film market in Rome.
