But here’s the catch — lodging options in the most exceptional destinations will vanish like shooting stars. Don’t wait to book accommodations at some of Ohio’s best getaway destinations; seize the opportunity to secure your spot well in advance, especially in these locations. 

The Cliffs at Hocking Hills

Rockbridge, Ohio

“Mahalo Lenape”

Welded Metal Artist Kaimi Niemann Unveils “Mahalo Lenape” on the Upper East Side at former Richard Avedon studio”

— kaimi niemann

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Welded Metal Artistry Transcends Time and Tradition: Kaimi Niemann Unveils “Mahalo Lenape” on the Upper East Side

NEW YORK, NY –

Renowned welded metal artist Kaimi Niemann invites art enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs to experience the unveiling of “Mahalo Lenape” at 407 East 75th Street, New York City, on Saturday, November 18, 2023.

“Mahalo Lenape” pays homage to the rich tapestry of Lenape heritage, seamlessly woven into the historical fabric of ‘Manahatta,’ the land of hills, which has been a cultural hub and gathering place for centuries. Niemann’s meticulous craftsmanship over five years has resulted in a welded metal sculpture that stands as a vibrant tribute to the Lenape tribe’s peaceful existence.

Situated in Manhattan, “Mahalo Lenape” represents more than just an art installation; it embodies a spiritual odyssey of prayer, meditation, and the transformative art of yoga. Niemann’s artistic alchemy melds metals into a stunning portrayal of the original stewards of the land, envisioning a life in harmonious balance with all of creation.

Curtis Zunigha, a tribal director, lauds the work, stating, “Mahalo Lenape, through its vivid color, dynamic shape, and rich texture, profoundly honors the Lenape spirit.”

Recognized as the ‘Picasso of Steel’ and drawing inspiration from Claire Falkenstein’s “New Gates of Paradise,” Niemann infuses his unique flair into this magnum opus. The welded metal masterpiece, likened to the works of Jackson Pollock, is a testament to Niemann’s artistic prowess and deep connection to the cultural and historical roots embedded in the Lenape spirit.

This transformative artwork invites onlookers to engage and immerse themselves in the deep historical and cultural essence within. Beyond being a…

The Native role in America’s War of Independence

The American Revolution is mostly portrayed as an epic struggle between the colonies and the British. But Native tribes and individuals played a significant role in the historic War of Independence. It was a difficult choice for tribes, who were neither British subjects nor supporters of the encroaching colonies. Tune into Native America Calling to get the Native perspective on America’s first war. Joseph Louis Cook, or Akiatonharónkwen Joseph Louis Cook, or Akiatonharónkwen, served as commissioned officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He was born to an African father and an Abenaki mother. After he and his mother were taken captive, they were adopted into the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake in present-day Canada.

Rewriting the Thanksgiving story, while centering Indigenous voices

From the Mayflower’s landing, to the meal shared by English setters and Wampanoag people, much is still widely misunderstood about the Thanksgiving holiday and its history.

Connecticut-based educator Chris Newell recently wrote a book for children that helps to untangle some of the myths and misnomers commonly associated with Thanksgiving. For example, the book clarifies that “the holiday we celebrate today does not have any real connection to the Mayflower’s landing. In fact, the story that links them was not created until two hundred years later.”

As Newell notes in his introduction, “The story of the Mayflower landing is different depending on whether the storyteller viewed the events from the boat or from the shore.” This hour, Chris Newell joins us.

Winona Nelson consulted with Wampanoag people to inform her illustrations in the book

Winona Nelson consulted with Wampanoag people to inform her illustrations in the book “If You Lived During the Plimoth Thanksgiving.”

Plus, how is this topic being reframed in Connecticut classrooms? The Connecticut State Department of Education recently published resources for “Teaching Native American Studies.” The materials were developed in a collaboration between the five state-recognized Eastern Woodland tribes: Golden Hill Paugussett, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Paucatuck Eastern Pequot and Schaghticoke.

Becky Gomez, the director of education for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and Sam Tondreau, a member of the Mohegan Tribe as well as their director of curriculum and instruction, discuss. Tondreau also oversees the Mohegan Tribe’s Educators Project.

GUESTS:

  • Chris Newell: Member of the Passamaquaddy Tribe; Co-Founder and Director of Education, Akowmawt Educational Initiative; Museum Educator; Children’s Book Author, If You Lived During

Lenape’s importance to region on display at area exhibition

The introductory panel to the exhibition “Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories” — currently on view at the Michener Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania — states something remarkably important to the region.

But it isn’t in the words. It is the image on which the text is written: an overhead view of the Abbott Marshlands at the estuary where the Crosswicks Creek meets the Delaware River.

The land — part of Trenton, Hamilton, and Bordentown — is the site of what had been one of the largest Eastern settlements of Native American — as well as documentation of human activity there for 13,000 years.

It is also roughly in the center of the land called Lenapehoking (Land of the Lenape).

They are the indigenous people whose territory included all of what is known today as New Jersey, New York Bay and Hudson Valley, the eastern section of Pennsylvania, and northern sections of Delaware.

They are also the people whose culture was disrupted and then suppressed to near the point of extinction by European colonization, starting in the early 1600s.

The exhibition’s reference to “Never Broken” argues that the culture has never disappeared and that the exhibition is a type of reaffirmation.

The “visualizing” reference signals that the reaffirming will be done through visual art.

And, indeed, viewers will encounter ancient Lenape designs, European and Colonial depictions of the Lenape people, and new works by contemporary Lenape artists — who combine both Lenape and European and American art traditions.

The curators of what is being touted as the first exhibition of its kind…

Group turns vacant land in Detroit neighborhood into community park

DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Earlier this year, the park on the corner of East State Fair Avenue and Anvil Street in Detroit did not exist and was an eyesore of vacant land.

Due to the help of many volunteers and neighbors, it’s now a space where those in the community can come together.

“A lot of blight, people were dumping on the site itself, and it just kind of accumulated. Looked really messy,” Detroit resident, Sharon Hayes said.

“It was a place where they would drop trash, debris, it was overgrown with weeds, trees… just an eyesore,” Mohican Regent Resident’s Association Treasurer, Kimberly Slone said. 

What was once an area of land full of junk and debris is now a glimmer of hope and space for people to gather in the Mohican Regent Resident’s Association neighborhood.

“It was such an adventure getting together, working together as one. Just seeing it come to fruition was great,” Slone said.

With the help of the city, grants, and donations, the association was able to buy the eight lots that make up the property.

Throughout the summer, hundreds of volunteers got their hands dirty to clean up what is now a community park.

“We were able to put in a flag, we put in benches over here, we’ve got tables, we’re going to put even more because it’s going to be a sitting park and hopefully we’re going to have some events over here,” Mohican Regent Resident’s Association President,…
