The elemental beauty of the Outer Banks

A “fragile chain” of barrier islands that shadows the mainland coast of North Carolina for 200 miles, the Outer Banks are well-known in the US for their “sandy, windswept beauty” and rich folklore. And yet they still feel “quiet” and “remote”, says Jacqui Agate in The Daily Telegraph – and make for a wonderful escape from the pressures of modern life. Algonquian-speaking tribes had lived here for 1,000 years when, in 1587, the English established a colony on Roanoke Island – their first in the New World – that later mysteriously vanished. The islands became a playground of the pirate Edward Teach – better known as Blackbeard – and in 1903, the Wright brothers achieved the first controlled, powered flight here.

In the south, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore stretches for 70 miles, its national park status prohibiting development. There are no “tacky souvenir shops” – just miles of woodland, golden beaches and “grass-flecked” dunes. At the park’s southern tip lies Ocracoke, where Blackbeard was slain by Lieutenant Robert Maynard and his crew in 1718, his severed head “hung on Maynard’s bowsprit as a grotesque trophy”. In Ocracoke Village, tree-lined Howard Street is named for the Howard family, descendants of the pirate’s quartermaster. Today, they run Village Craftsmen, “a charming shop filled with curios” made by local artisans. Heading north, you might stop at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, where there’s an interesting museum. Drawn here from Ohio partly by the islands’ steady wind, the brothers then fell in love with the area.

The land where the Lost Colony of 1587 stood is now the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and another small museum. Still further north, development has “boomed”, but even here there are “postcard sights”, not least the wild horses of Currituck County, most likely the descendants of working horses that escaped from…

Students Plant Seeds to Revive a Native American Language

April 5, 2023

New minor in Native American and Indigenous Studies finds strength in partnerships with New Jersey tribal communities

Posted in: Homepage News, Humanities and Social Sciences

Female student paints sign. Farrah Fornarotto, a junior majoring in Anthropology, with minors in Archaeology and Native American and Indigenous Studies, paints a garden sign with the Munsee language word for carrot.

A month ago, with fields on the Munsee Three Sisters Medicinal Farm empty and snow-covered, a group of Montclair State University students and their professors began the work of getting the farm ready for spring. Hand painting garden signs, they joined efforts to advance Indigenous food sovereignty, and – in writing on those signs “pehpeechkweekush” for “carrot” and other crops in the Munsee language – they were also planting seeds to help revive a Native American language.

“It’s definitely a great place to start, but hopefully it’s not where we stop,” says Farrah Fornarotto, a junior majoring in Anthropology, with minors in Archaeology and the new Native American and Indigenous Studies. “There’s a lot to tackle.”

The challenges date back decades. Munsee Three Sisters Farm provides traditional food for the Turtle Clan of the Ramapough Lunaape (Lenape) Nation, a tribe that can no longer safely farm its own land in Upper Ringwood, New Jersey. Environmental and health issues caused by industrial dumping have led to a generational decline in the Turtle Clan members’ ability to practice their culture, including the Munsee language, which is at risk of becoming as dormant as the winter fields.

Wonder if any other Greater Nanticoke Area graduates met English royalty?

Among the 13 graduates of Nanticoke High School in 1906, one would be awarded the British Military Cross for bravery during World War I.

U.S. Army Lt. Dr. James Elmer Croop received the honor for “gallantly on the field when the Germans attacked the British lines at the commencement of the Second Battle of the Marne,” according to the Evening News on March 27, 1919.

Croop received the decorated citation from King George V on Feb. 22, 1919.

“I want to thank and heartily congratulate you for the valuable service rendered to my troops for one and one-half years,” the King of England said to Croop, as the Evening News story reported.

Croop was a 1906 graduate of Nanticoke High School having resided with his parents Mr. and Mrs. James Croop on South Hanover Street, Nanticoke. During the commencement ceremony, the graduates were required to perform a musical number, dance or give a speech.

Croop gave a speech about the preservation and protection of Niagara Falls from commercial and industrial development. As he had a fascination of the Great Lakes, it was no surprise Croop established a medical office in Erie,…

South Jersey Pops Plays Music of Human Conflict as it Presents “Discord” March 26 in Medford

The South Jersey Pops, the region’s own non-profit orchestra, continues its 51st season as it presents ”Discord: The Sound of Human Conflict” on March 26, 2023, at Lenape High School in Medford, N.J.

The concert will feature the music of conflict as it’s been expressed in popular culture, contemporary and classical music, and film and television over the years.

“This is something fun and a little different for the orchestra. Conflict has always been an integral part of the human condition, and it has been portrayed musically in practically every format, and every genre. It’s a rich history, and audiences will find many familiar tunes,” said Robert Bradshaw of Audubon, the Pops’ conductor and musical director.

Michael Wisnosky of Morrisville, Pa., and Daniel Hutchinson from the band 9South will be guest vocalists for the performance, which will also feature the orchestra’s own Emma Gibbins and concertmaster-violinist Jaress Loo of Cherry Hill in solos or highlighted moments.

Musical selections cut across TV, movies, stage and the masters, and include:

  • “West Side Story”
  • Gustov Holst’s “Mars, Bringer of War”
  • “Game of Thrones”
  • “Romeo & Juliet” (Tchaikovsky)
  • “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”
  • “Anything You Can Do” from “Annie Get Your Gun”
  • “Remembrances” from “Schindler’s List”

“Discord” begins at 3 p.m. March 26; doors open 30 minutes before the performance. Admission is $15 for adults, and $5 for children under 12. Children under 2 are free. Lenape High School is located at 235 Hartford Road, Medford, N.J.
