Biden admin to remove statue of William Penn from Philadelphia park and ‘rehabilitate’ the park to commemorate Native Americans

Joe Biden’s National Park Service under Interior Secretary Deb Haaland will remove the statue of William Penn from the park erected in 1982 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his founding of the colony of Pennsylvania. The park is on the site of his original home in Philadelphia.

The park, located in Philadelphia near the Delaware River at Sansom and Second Streets, will be “rehabilitated” and that proposal will include an “expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia.” The plan was “developed in consultations with the representatives of the indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.”

While much of the original design of the park will remain, the statue of Penn and the model of his original home “will be removed and not reinstalled.” The Park Service claims that at some later date, which is not currently funded, there will be a new exhibit that mentions Penn and his work founding what became the state named for him as well as the city of Philadelphia.

The National Park Service, led by National Park Service Director Charles Sams III, who boasts Native American ancestry as does his boss Haaland, runs a substantial portion of Philadelphia’s historic sites. This agency is in charge of nearly 54 acres of historic sites in the Old City neighborhood, where the Penn home once stood. The Biden administration praised Haaland when she was appointed for becoming “the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.” Equity, as the Biden White House recently stated, has “always, always” been “at the center of every policy.” 

These sites include Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Constitution drafted and debated, the Liberty Bell, Congress Hall,…

Pound Ridge ES Students Explore Artifacts & Learn About Lenape Culture

This post was contributed by a community member. The views expressed here are the author’s own.

“Wait, this is actually bear skin?!” a Pound Ridge Elementary School fourth grader asked incredulously. The student was petting the soft fur but pulled back her hand quickly when she realized what it was. On display tables around her, there were a variety of artifacts made from animals and other natural elements: a piece of deer jaw that was used to take off corn kernels, a fishbone necklace, a turkey bone whistle.

The artifacts were brought to PRES by Carla Messinger, a Lenape descendant from Pennsylvania, to teach students about Native American culture in celebration of Native American Heritage Month and as part of the fourth-grade curriculum.

“The Lenape people were incredible recyclers,” Messinger told students. “They used and reused everything they could.”

She told students how the Lenape used animal bones for everything from instruments and jewelry to spoons. They used hollowed-out and dried squash to create drinking vessels similar to today’s sports bottles. They even used the fluffy part of cattails to stuff diapers.

Messinger also spoke about how the Lenape and colonists influenced each other’s cultures, showed traditional clothing, explained how the Lenape were a matriarchal society and so much more. After her talk, students were able to explore all the artifacts she brought with her and ask questions.

A couple of the girls in Randi Neglia’s class were incredibly interested in something called a rain stick. While it looked like a piece of a branch, if you moved it around, there was a tumbling sound inside of it. As the students explored it more, they tried to figure out what could possibly be…

WILKES-BARRE — A man from Nanticoke who believed he was conversing online with a 15-year-old girl and asked if she was into “kinky stuff” was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Thursday.

President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Sean D. Lewandowski, 52, of West Noble Street, to nine-to-23 months in state prison for criminal attempt to commit unlawful contact with a minor and consecutive three years probation for corruption of minors. Lewandowski pled guilty to the charges June 12.

Kingston police with information provided by a cooperating witness charged Lewandowski in October 2021, part of a sting operation of online child predators.

According to the criminal complaint:

An unnamed cooperating witness provided online chats Lewandowski had with someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl.

Lewandowski asked the girl if she had ever been with an older man, asked if she ever had sex, and suggested performing sexual acts, asking the girl if she was into “kinky stuff,” the complaint says.

Lewandowski also asked the girl if her parents would call police if they ever found out.

Lewandowski was confronted by the cooperating witness, believing he was meeting the teenage girl.

Lewandowski is required to register his address as a sex offender for 25 years under the state’s Sex Offender Registration and Notification…
