Pennsbury Manor Evokes Native American History with nkwiluntàmën Exhibit

The artist used the natural landscape for his installation.

A historic manor in Bucks County is hosting an artistic exhibit that celebrates the rich history of the area and its first inhabitants. Peter Crimmins wrote about the exhibit for WHYY.

Pennsbury Manor, William Penn’s historic estate in Morrisville, has commissioned artist and Lenape descendant Nathan Young for an exhibit that evokes Lenni Lenape history. The exhibit is called “nkwiluntàmën: I long for it; I am lonesome for it (such as the sound of a drum).”

Young has installed noise and avant-garde music at the historic house, which is administered by the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission. This aids in reflecting  the noisy history of the Lenape people.

“This is my own personal opinion, but a lot of land acknowledgments seem to be just lip service,” said Young. “But here at Pennsbury Manor, by letting me do things like this and other things that Pennsbury has done for the recognized Delaware tribes – what they do matters. It’s not just lip service.”

The artist has installed several speakers on high-backed garden benches around the residence. Each of these plays music created by several composers for the piece. In addition many large signs are painted white, black, yellow, and red. The goal is to help guide visitors on a poetic journey.

Copperheads, blister fungus and more tales of Camp Mohican history

Jim Brewer  |  Special to Ashland Times-Gazette

LOUDONVILLE − Camp Mohican, the local installment of more than 1,500 setups of what became known as “Roosevelt’s Tree Army,” the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), left a lasting legacy to the area during the Great Depression, and was instrumental in making the nascent Mohican State Park into one of the most visited in Ohio.

Kenny Libben, curator of the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum, spoke Monday on that legacy in the closing 2022-23 entry in the Mohican Historical Society’s speaker series.

In an hour-long talk before about 80 jammed into the museum meeting room, Libben traced the operations of Camp Mohican from its opening in June 1933 to its eventual closing in April 1942, when the U.S. government decided to disband the remnants of the CCC and concentrate on the effort to fight World War II.

A blister fungus among us and copperhead snakes

The CCC was a child of the Depression, one of the promises Franklin D. Roosevelt made in his successful 1932 election campaign.

As part of the New Deal, Roosevelt took the CCC he had formed while governor in New York and applied it nationally. In New York, the CCC worked on outdoor projects involving reforestation and infrastructure in state parks and wilderness areas.

His CCC idea involved more than 1,500 camps set up nationwide, with approximately 200 workers in each.

“In an era of mass unemployment where Americans commonly went two or three days without a meal, thousands of workers were attracted,” Libben said, “to the promise of $30 a month wage, shelter, clothing, and three square meals a day.”

Camp Mohican was selected as a CCC camp location as part of a newly designated Ohio State Park. The state, Libben said, bought up about 500 acres near Clear Fork Gorge in 1928 as a future…

Felony assault charges withdrawn against Nanticoke man

Crudop

Crudop

WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man accused of aiming a handgun at a Nanticoke police officer and a child caseworker with Luzerne County Children & Youth Services and placing a handgun in the mouth of a woman pled guilty to misdemeanor charges Monday.

Cory Ma Gonzalez Crudop, 40, of State Street, stood accused of hiding in the basement of a residence at 64 Hill St., as three Nanticoke police officers assisted two caseworkers from Children & Youth Services inspecting the home on July 14, according to court records.

When an officer opened a door, Crudop was accused of aiming a firearm at the officer before fleeing the house where he aimed the firearm at a caseworker, according to court records.

The incident prompted a massive police search of the Lower Broadway area of Nanticoke that ended in Crudop’s apprehension at his residence.

Child caseworkers were at the house two days after Crudop on July 12 placed the barrel of a handgun in the mouth of a woman during a domestic dispute and threw a car battery through the windshield of a vehicle that a child occupied, court records say.

Crudop was scheduled for trial this week.

Instead, prosecutors amended the felony grading of two counts of aggravated assault to misdemeanor simple assault in a negotiated plea agreement with Crudop and his attorney, Frank McCabe, involving the police officer and child caseworker.

Crudop pled guilty to four total counts of simple assault and a single count of terroristic threats, all misdemeanors, before President Judge Michael T. Vough.

A felony count of aggravated assault involving the placing of a gun in the woman’s mouth was withdrawn.

Crudop is scheduled to be sentenced June…

Cowlitz Tribe Takes Over Mohegan To Run ilani Casino In Washington

After six years of working together to run ilani Casino Resort in Washington, just north of Vancouver, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and the Connecticut-based Mohegan Tribe will end their partnership next year.

The Cowlitz Tribe enlisted the help of the Mohegan Tribe to launch and manage the casino starting in 2017. And, now, in July 2024, the Cowlitze Tribe will assume full management of the property.

According to an article by The Columbian, Cowlitz Indian Tribe Chairwoman Patty Kinswa-Gaiser said in a statement:

“After careful consideration, the Cowlitz Tribal Gaming Authority has recommended, and the Cowlitz Tribal Council has approved, a decision to begin a multi-step process of transitioning ilani from an enterprise managed by the Mohegan Tribe to a self-managed enterprise.”

What’s ahead for ilani Casino in Washington?

According to the Cowlitz tribe, not much will change over the next 15 months. Mohegan will continue to provide management services for the occasion. ilani leadership and staff will stay in place.

Next year, Cowlitz will take over management of the casino. Kinswa-Gaiser said that the transition to self-management of the casino is a natural part of the process. The Mohegan Tribe showed the Cowlitz the casino management ropes. Over the past six years, the Cowlitz has eased into shared management responsibilities.

And, as was the plan, the tribe will overtake total control of the casino’s management. The two tribes will continue their partnership in other partnerships and initiatives, although the Cowlitz gave no specifics. Kinswa Gaiser continued:

“We are forever grateful for the remarkable success and benefits this partnership has brought our tribal members and the Cowlitz community since ilani opened its doors in 2017. We raise our hands to the Mohegan Tribe and will continue the standard of excellence they brought to ilani.”

Lenape ask Pennsylvania Mennonites for land to bury their ancestors

The Mennonite Heritage Center in Harleysville, Pa., welcomed the Lenape (Delaware) tribe of Bartlesville, Okla., on April 12. After a potluck supper with local Mennonites, Chief Brad KillsCrow, tribal elder John Thomas, and tribal historic preservation officer Susan Bachor presented their request: land to bury their ancestors.

Since 1990, the Native American Graves and Protection and Repatriation Act has required that museums and universities return Indigenous human remains and funerary items after consulting with descendants and tribal organizations. As Indigenous groups receive the bones of their ancestors, however, some tribes face the next question: where to bury them.

Mennonites arrived in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1683 and now live on the Lenape ancestral homeland, which encompasses greater Philadelphia, New Jersey and parts of New York.

“We have no presence in our homeland,” KillsCrow said. “How do we put our ancestors back in the ground?”

The Lenape have already worked with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to bury about 200 ancestors at Pennsbury Manor, William Penn’s country estate in Morrisville, in 2022. But thousands still need burial space.

Addressing the crowd of 120 gathered in the Mennonite Heritage Center barn, KillsCrow said, “Our ancestors helped you. Your ancestors helped us. I humbly ask if there is anything you can do.” He suggested a few acres, preferably an open meadow in a remote location. The Lenape would like to bury their ancestors with traditional ceremonies.

The Lenape had considered burying their ancestors in Oklahoma, KillsCrow said, but tribal elders pointed out these ancestors never lived in Oklahoma. The Lenape settled there in the 1860s after gradual displacement from Pennsylvania by European expansion and then forced removal by the U.S. government. The Lenape want to honor their ancestors, whose bones have been kept in museums and other institutions, by bringing…
