Educator Ian McCallum, who grew up listening to relatives converse in their native language of Munsee on Munsee-Delaware Nation, has finished the translation of a 1931 London Free Press article about the death and burial of Shawnee chief Tecumseh – and the mystery surrounding it – into that little-spoken language.
“I did some digging and I thought this would be a really good story to translate,” said McCallum, who lives near Barrie. He’s one of about three or four people who speak fluent Munsee as a second language and he teaches about 50 beginners, he said.
“We were looking for community stories to translate into the Munsee language, and I started with my own family because COVID didn’t allow for a lot of communication with the elders.”

In the 1931 Free Press story, McCallum’s great-great uncle, Jacob Logan, described the death and burial of Tecumseh, who was killed near Chatham in 1813 while fighting for the British in the War of 1812.
The final location of Tecumseh’s body has long been debated, with some believing his corpse had…

Corry to crack down on vaping in new year
Corry Area Middle-High School is looking to eliminate the use of e-cigarettes by students on campus, especially in bathrooms.
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that heat a liquid typically containing nicotine and produce an aerosol or a mix of small particles in the air, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The use of e-cigarettes is commonly referred to as “vaping.”
Corry Area School Board member Amy Allen brought up students vaping in bathrooms during a Nov. 22 school board meeting.
Allen was in attendance at the high school’s Pennsylvania Business Week and said she enjoyed the opportunity to speak with students and staff about concerns they had.
“I heard there’s some issues of kids vaping in bathrooms. I had a couple teachers come up to me. Apparently they have done research about devices that can get put into restrooms that will alert us if kids are vaping in bathrooms and we can respond to it,” Allen said during the meeting.
Corry Area School District Director of Buildings and Grounds Mike Munsee said they are aware of the problem and have also researched the so-called “vape detectors,” which operate similarly to a smoke detector but do not emit an audible sound.
“Instead of it going off like a smoke detector, it alerts through the school network to a work station with somebody,” Munsee told The Corry Journal.
If the device detects the use of e-cigarettes, then it will transmit a notification to school officials, such as a principal, who will investigate the situation.
The school district has ordered vape detectors and plans to install them in every student-accessible bathroom in the middle-high school, according to Munsee.
“They are on order. I’m just waiting for them to come in,” Munsee said. “They work pretty well from what I understand.”
The use of e-cigarettes is prohibited on school…

We know pathetically little about the Cape Fear Indians, who inhabited the Wilmington area until the early 1700s. We’re not sure what they called themselves (possibly “Daw-Hee”) or what they spoke (probably a Siouan language, similar to the Plains Indians).
A fair idea of how they lived, however, can be gleaned from “Manteo’s World: Native American Life in Carolina’s Sound Country Before and After the Lost Colony” by retired Old Dominion University anthropologist Helen C. Rountree.
Rountree writes about the Croatoans, the Roanokes and the other Algonquian-speaking peoples whom Sir Walter Raleigh’s expeditions encountered in and around Roanoke Island beginning in 1584.
We know rather more about them thanks to the accounts of explorers such as Thomas Hariot, John Lawson (who came along later, in the early 1700s) and particularly the many drawings by John White, the governor of what would come to be known as “the Lost Colony.”

Manteo, for those who forgot, was the young Croatoan man who traveled back to England with the first explorers and later became an interpreter and diplomat for the English settlers.
These first Americans lived a Stone Age existence. They had only small amounts of copper, acquired by trade, which they used mainly for jewelry. Nevertheless, they had a self-sufficient, mostly comfortable existence.
It wasn’t Eden. Women — who were expected to farm corn, beans and squash; root for tubers in the marshes; cook; tan hides; make baskets and perform other chores — often developed arthritis as early as their 30s.
Men hunted and fished. It was exhausting work, chasing wounded deer for miles, then lugging the carcasses for miles back to the village or camp. English visitors often saw men lying around between hunts — which, Rountree thinks, led…
Munsee retires with mission accomplished
CLARION – On Jan. 4, for the first time in almost 40 years, Rex Munsee will not be carrying a badge. When Sheriff-elect Shawn Zerfoss is sworn in, Munsee will be a civilian.
“I guess I got my love of law enforcement from my great-grandfather. Back in the 1930s, he was a special deputy for Erie County,” Munsee said.
That love of the law continues with Munsee’s children – his daughter is a Clarion attorney and his son followed in his father’s footsteps as a Pennsylvania State Police trooper.
Munsee began his career in law enforcement as a state trooper and rose to the rank of corporal. He served one year at the Punxsutawney barracks, and the balance of his 27-year state police career in Shippenville.
“As a trooper I couldn’t be political, but the day after I retired I announced that I was a candidate for Clarion County sheriff,” he said. It’s a post in which he has served three terms.
“It’s time to go,” he said. “I accomplished all that I wanted to do. It is time for someone else to step in. I am not regretting my decision not to run.”
Munsee said his greatest accomplishment was to “re-invigorate” the employees.
“It seemed the office had shrunk,” he said. “We were only doing court security and prisoner transports. Now we do more public relations things. We do speeches, public programs and we do security at various events. We also support the PSP at some events.
“We aren’t the lead agency, but perform a supporting role. We also serve warrants for the magistrates. I think more people are aware of the department now.”
One of the changes Munsee has seen over the years is the lack of applicants for the position of deputy.
“The pool of potential deputies has shriveled up,” he said. “When I…
