Manahahtáanung or Manhattan? Tribal representatives call for apology for Dutch settlement of New York

Representatives for some of the Lenape people have called for an apology and reparations for the 17th-century Dutch “settling” of New Amsterdam, the place that is now New York.

Precisely four centuries after the Dutch established a colony at the mouth of the Hudson River, some descendants of Indigenous Americans believe it is time for a fuller story of the wars on their people, slavery, exploitation and dispersal.

Their call for recognition comes at the opening of the first exhibition in Amsterdam exploring the colonisation of North America from the perspective of the Lenape – four nations that once fished, hunted beavers and lived on that land.

“Our overall collective eventually will want to see an apology to the Lenape people,” said Brent Stonefish, 48, from the Eelūnaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation) community in Ontario in Canada, at a press opening at the Amsterdam Museum.

“We have already set precedents with an apology for the African and Caribbean slave trade. In an ideal world, an apology is to all the Lenape across Turtle Island [America] and reparation from Dutch government – because we’ve lost a lot. We’ve lost culture, we’ve lost language, we’ve lost connection to our homelands … We were massacred all the way up to Ontario.”

He said that the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, and King Willem-Alexander’s recent apologies for slavery set a precedent, claiming there is evidence that Native Americans were also trafficked and enslaved.

Stonefish is one of a number of representatives of four Lenape nations who have contributed to the exhibition at Amsterdam Museum: Manahahtáanung or New Amsterdam? The Indigenous Story Behind New York.

The show, which runs from 16 May until 10 November, includes historic and contemporary art, artefacts and videos of Lenape people recounting oral histories. It also reveals extraordinary archival material from the

Connecticut Democrats Select Murphy, DNC Members For Re-Election

US Sen. Chris MurphyUS Sen. Chris Murphy speaks to the Connecticut Democratic Party on Saturday at the Mohegan Sun after being nominated for a third term at the party’s state convention. Credit: Brian Scott-Smith / CTNewsJunkie

UNCASVILLE, CT – With the 2024 legislative session in the rearview mirror, the Connecticut Democratic Party held its state convention Saturday at Mohegan Sun and nominated US Sen. Chris Murphy for a third term.

The party also re-elected its two Democratic National Committee members, Marti Carlson and John Olson, and chose seven presidential electors for November: Dorothy Grady, David Kostek, Tiffani McGinnis, Mike Pohl, Geraldo Reyes, Kevin Sullivan, and Nick Balletto.

In her opening remarks, Nancy DiNardo, the state party chair, called the upcoming election “one of the most important elections in our lifetimes.”

Her message was echoed by the rest of the speakers at the event, including Murphy, who said he never takes anything for granted.

“I’m going to campaign hard from here until November and try to bring as many Democrats along with me as I can,” Murphy said. “I’m excited to be on the ballot. A lot of people may not vote. Why? I hope people understand the stakes of this election. I know a lot of people are frustrated by what’s happening overseas. But when I talk to young people, they are also really concerned about what would happen to the safety of our streets if a Republican Congress repeals the 2022 Gun Bill. They are very concerned about losing their ability to have access to the full range of reproductive health care services.”

Murphy also recognized fellow Democrat Congresswoman Jahana Hayes and said when it comes to campaigning, he’s there for everyone.

“So, within what’s allowable by the law, I am going…

Baseball Recap: Rancocas Valley picks up sixth straight win at home

On Wednesday, Rancocas Valley faced Eastern in a battle between two of the state’s top teams. The Rancocas Valley Red Devils sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-9 win over the Eastern Vikings. Rancocas Valley’s victory was all the more impressive since Eastern was averaging only 3.13 runs allowed on the season.

For Eastern’s part, Logan Dawson put in work while hitting and pitching. He tossed five innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits. Dawson was also solid in the batter’s box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two RBI.

In other batting news, Anthony Cataldo was cooking despite his team’s loss, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Matt Gryskiewicz was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Rancocas Valley pushed their record up to 16-7 with that win, which was their sixth straight at home. As for Eastern, their defeat dropped their record down to 17-6.

Rancocas Valley does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Eastern, they will be playing at home against Lenape at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Eastern’s pitching crew has only allowed 3.1 runs per game this season, so Lenape’s hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Iraq Seeks End Of UN Mission By End Of 2025

BAGHDAD: Iraq has formally requested that a United Nations support mission set up after the 2003 US-led invasion of the country end its work by the end of 2025.

The country said the mission was no longer needed because Iraq had made significant progress toward its stability and security.

The mission, based in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, was established with a broad mandate to help develop Iraqi institutions, promote human rights and support political dialogue.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said Iraq wanted to boost cooperation with other UN organizations but there was no need for the UN assistance mission, known as UNAMI.

The mission’s head in Iraq often holds meetings with top political, judicial and security officials to preventing and resolving conflicts, however, critics have often described it as interference.

Sudani in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Iraq has managed to take important steps in many areas, particularly those that fall under UNAMI’s mandate.

Iraq’s government has since 2023 moved to end several global missions, including the US-led coalition formed in 2014 to fight Islamic State and the UN’s mission set up to help promote accountability for the jihadist group’s crimes.

Some diplomats and UN officials worry about situation of the human rights and accountability in a country that frequently ranks among the world’s most corrupt and where according to rights activists freedom of expression has been curtailed.

The government of Iraq says it is working to fight corruption and rejects there is less room for free expression.

Somalia’s government also sought the termination of a UN political mission this week. In a letter to the Security Council, the country’s foreign minister sought the departure of the Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM).

Doug Crosby’s 50-45 Danny Sabatello scorecard in Raufeon Stots’ Bellator 289 win under scrutiny

It appears there may be some behind-the-scenes fallout from the Bellator 289 main event.

Raufeon Stots (19-1 MMA, 7-0 BMMA) beat Danny Sabatello (13-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) with a split decision this past Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Stots went into the fight as the interim bantamweight champion and retained that belt with the win. He also moved on to the $1 million final of Bellator’s 135-pound grand prix tournament.

Stots’ win might not have been a huge surprise on paper – he was the betting favorite. But the wide disparity of scores had just about every observer scratching their heads. Stots got 48-47 scores from judges Eric Colon and Bryan Miner. But judge Doug Crosby gave the fight to Sabatello – and gave him all five rounds for a 50-45 score.

And that 50-45 score apparently was enough to trigger Mike Mazzulli, the commission director for the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulations, to schedule a review of the fight with all three judges. The news first was reported by MMA Fighting.

“After reviewing the fight, three rounds of the five rounds were extremely close and the other two were marginally close rounds,” Mazzulli said, according to the report. “One judge had Sabatello winning all five rounds, which is controversial. But ultimately Stots won the decision, which is the correct result. In an effort to make this a learning moment, I have informed all three judges we will be reviewing the fight together.

“This is a very serious situation. The Mohegan Tribe Athletic Department always looks out for the best interests of all fighters. In the past the Mohegan Tribe Athletic Department has sanctioned officials that are not performing to the level that is required. Such sanctions, when they occur, are not made public.”

After he judged…
