The 14th annual Roanoke Island American Indian Festival is set for this weekend.
Taking place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday on the Manteo High School practice field, sponsors for the festival and powwow are the Algonquian Indians of North Carolina Inc. and the Roanoke-Hatteras Indians of Dare County.
The nonprofit Algonquian Indians of North Carolina is composed of people who are genealogically descended from the original historic Roanoke-Hatteras (Croatan) Indians of Dare County. “We are dedicated to keeping alive the heritage and culture of our ancestors, for the benefit of our members and the community at large. Historically, our tribes were known for fishing, hunting and farming,” its website states.
There will be food, exhibits, health screening, survival techniques and vendors. Because no seating will be provided, those attending should bring a lawn chair, blanket, beach umbrella and related items. Only service animals are allowed.
Pea Island Preservation Society, Inc. said in a release from their organization that they’ll have a table set up at the festival.
The society’s Outreach and Education Director Joan Collins said in a press release that the festival is a important reminder that many who live and have lived in the area have American Indian ties.
“The historic U.S. Life-Saving Service and later U.S. Coast Guard station once at Pea Island on the Outer Banks is perhaps one of the best local reminders,” Collins said. “The plaque which hangs on the outside wall…

Officer Kyle Bielecki of the Nanticoke Police Department approached the college to discuss this vital initiative, which is focused on acquiring the necessary equipment for officers. The Special Response Team will allow officers to respond more effectively to incidents, having equipment readily available at moments’ notice and ensuring swift action without the delays of returning to the station.
“The support from the Alumni Association is invaluable as we strive to make our community safer,” said Officer Bielecki. “This donation will assist us in procuring essential gear and supplies needed for our officers to combat drug activity.”
The Alumni Association, dedicated to promoting Luzerne County Community College’s mission of providing quality education at an affordable cost, has been actively involved in community initiatives since its inception in 1975. This donation reflects their commitment to the safety and well-being of the Nanticoke community.

Baghdad, 21 April 2025 – The Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support, Mr. Atul Khare, visited Iraq from 18 to 21 April 2025 in the context of the upcoming drawdown and transition of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), followed by a period of in-situ liquidation as mandated by Security Council Resolution 2732 (2024), to determine the nature and extent of Headquarters support to these processes.
During his visit, USG Khare, accompanied by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan, was received by His Excellency, Mr. Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq.

Eastern put another one in the bag on Tuesday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Lenape Indians a 6-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won five matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Eastern pushed their record up to 10-0 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Lenape, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That’s put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season.
Eastern will head out to face off against Bordentown at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Lenape, they didn’t take long to hit the field again: they’ve already played their next contest, a 7-2 defeat against Cherokee on the 16th.
