The gathering celebrated the naming conventions of trees and plants, incorporating English, Latin Botanical and Shinnecock Algonquian names.

Attendees enjoyed artwork, stories and poems created by East Hampton students, while the Latin class presented an audio project on Latin pronunciations.

Sunshine Gumbs from the Shinnecock Nation shared ethno-botanical research, resurrecting Algonquian names for local native plants.

Health and Wellness Center Taps Into Geothermal

The Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center, which may initially seem an unassuming facility to new visitors, carries out a critical mission and holds an important place in its community. Located in the rural town of Bowler, Wis., on the southwestern edge of the Menominee Indian Reservation, the more than 50-year-old clinic is a civic asset for the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians.

The program began in the early 1970s as Volunteer Inter-Tribal Medicine, comprising a group of volunteer physicians who provided care and health screenings. The clinic started as a retrofitted mobile home and has since grown into a community wellness organization operated by and for the tribe. The facility includes a pharmacy, dental care, a radiology unit and countless other comprehensive community health services.

The existing clinic is a 30,170-square-foot building that opened in 2000. Served by an HVAC system nearing the end of its life, the existing infrastructure featured a conventional water-source heat pump for heating and cooling, an evaporative cooler, propane boilers and a propane-heated ventilation system. 

The evaporative cooler, which uses water as its working fluid, recirculates domestic water in the basin and sprays it over closed-loop coils of the hydronic cooling system to increase cooling capacity. To prevent chemical growth, systems like this one require extensive chemical treatment, and although the client had well-trained facilities personnel, it was decided that going in a new direction would be a more efficient and sustainable practice.

The Health and Wellness Center sought measures to achieve energy sovereignty for its organization. Its goal was to be far less reliant on propane to heat the facility and remove the need for regular chemical maintenance. To achieve this would require an entirely new HVAC system — one that could moderate the usage of natural resources and embody the community’s core beliefs. 

According to Shannon Holsey,…

Summer Sky Dazzles with the Rare ‘Strawberry Moon’

Summer has officially arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and to kick off its annual inauguration, a “Strawberry Moon” will grace the skies of the southeast on Friday, June 21.

The first moon of summer is a little deceptive at first, as many would expect it to shine a bright red or pink hue due to its namesake, much like the blood moons that draw so much attention.

This is not the case, however, as the Strawberry Moon got its name from American Indian tribes such as the Algonquian who used this moon to determine “the ripening of ‘June-bearing’ strawberries that are ready to be gathered,” according to the Famers Almanac, not a drastic change of color.

“Since the 2024 June full moon happens on the solstice, the very day the sun is absolutely at its highest of the year, this month’s full moon on the 21st is the very lowest full moon, indeed, the lowest we’ve seen in years,” the Almanac reads. “Just look at it! Because the moon is so low, it will appear bigger than ever. This is called the ‘moon illusion.’”

But the Algonquian tribe were not alone in this practice, as other tribes such as the Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota also marked this moon as a time of harvest.

Events such as this, and the peoples of the earth using as a time of harvest, coincide with the words of the Bible in regard to the seasons changing as time continues.

Charter Looking to Surrender More Than 1,400 Additional RDOF Locations

RDOF

Tribal governments opted for their own networks or local providers.

Jake Neenan Charter Looking to Surrender More Than 1,400 Additional RDOF Locations Photo of Sylva Township in Jackson County, North Carolina, by Gerry Dincher. The county includes some Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal lands.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 2024 – Charter Communications is looking to hand back more than 1,400 more locations it had committed to serve as part of a federal rural broadband subsidy program.

The company surrendered in April another 23,000 homes and businesses it had been assigned through the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, citing the high cost of replacing utility poles and repeated disagreements with the companies that own them. Charter tacked on another 59 census block groups – without specifying how many locations they included – in late May.

This time, the company says it has been unable to get the go-ahead from three tribal governments that oversee the locations themselves or necessary rights-of-way. Two tribes, Charter said, refused to grant the company access because they’re pursuing fiber broadband projects owned directly by the Tribe or in partnership with local providers.

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, whose Tribal lands account for 1,220 of the affected locations, plus another 126 that can only be connected by deploying infrastructure on EBCI land, is looking to build its own network.

The Eastern Band, based in North Carolina, received in 2021 a $500,000 grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to fund part of a project that aims to serve 4,000 unserved households. The Eastern Band says it applied for more funding in the second round of the same NTIA program and another Department of Agriculture grant program.

“It was tough when you are shooting against teams with 30-40 athletes on it, and they take the top five scores,” coach Sherry Anderson commented. “We didn’t place, but Levi had a 99/100 and took high gun and high varsity male. Levi, I’m so proud of you. You always give 100 percent

“I enjoyed spending my day watching these kids shoot. All the kids did great,” she added.

The Corry team finished its season as champions in the Warren County conference for the Pennsylvania State High School Clay Target League. Placing in the PA Clay Target conference top male division were Merrill in second and Roush in third.

Strawberry Moon Volunteer Day @ Algonkian Village

By filling critical roles, volunteers are an integral part of the operation of many museums nationwide. It is fulfilling to work together toward a common goal. Being a volunteer offers the chance for people to give back, become engaged, learn new skills, and connect with like-minded members of the region. If you are looking to get involved, head to the Institute for American Indian Studies on Saturday, June 15 from 10 a.m. to noon, or from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to participate in the first Algonkian Village Maintenance Day with the staff of the Institute for American Indian Studies located at 38 Curtis Road in Washington, Connecticut.

As a volunteer for this event, you will gain a greater appreciation for the traditional lifeways of local Native American communities while supporting an award-winning non-profit institution. This special day is a hands-on outdoor program that will take place in the authentically Replicated Algonkian Village on the grounds of the Institute. The Village consists of several traditional dome-shaped structures known as wigwams that are made from bark, saplings, and reeds, as well as drying racks, a Three Sisters Garden, and more to show how indigenous people lived in the Eastern Woodlands for thousands of years. The Village is an important component of the Institute’s educational programs that requires ongoing maintenance.

A highlight of this program is to learn about the traditional tools and techniques used by Native American communities to maintain their village; and to try your hand at them. Since this program requires physical work, an adult should accompany all minors. Participants should dress for the weather, wear appropriate shoes, and bring along a set of gloves. Although strawberry-themed light refreshments will be offered, it is suggested that you bring water and lunch, especially if you are staying for both time…

Class of 1964 Corry Beaver mascot ready for reunion

Sports teams are named for many reasons, including stately birds, ferocious animals and warriors of old. For the Corry Beavers, the name came directly from The Corry Evening Journal sports editor Bill Lombard, way back in 1929.

In a Journal article dated March 3, 1978, Corry resident Edwin M. Cole provided information about Lombard and how Corry school teams became known as the Beavers.

Up until October 1929, the Corry football team was unofficially referred to as Orange and Black, or The Warriors. However, in a Journal article in October of 1929, Lombard described the football team as working in the mud like beavers to keep the opposing team from scoring.

“Isuggest and recommend that, from now on, the Orange and Black be known as the Corry Beavers,” Lombard wrote.

Ninety-five years later, Corry sports teams continue to proudly carry that moniker.

In 1974, Corry Area High School’s Class of 1964 put a float in the Alumni Centennial Parade, complete with giant wooden Corry Beavers painted by Harry Munsee. Harry’s sister, Zela Munsee, remembers how her brother lent his artistic talents to her class.
