Here’s why Menominee Nation’s bid for a casino in Kenosha is drawing both support and opposition from tribes in Wisconsin

KENOSHA – The governments of two tribes in Wisconsin have expressed support for a Menominee casino in Kenosha while the Potawatomi Tribe strongly opposes the endeavor.

“The Oneida Nation has a successful history of working with other sovereign nations to build and support Indian gaming and other enterprises across the nation,” read a statement from the Oneida Nation Business Committee this month. “Oneida can be proud of supporting the common goals of self-sufficiency, economic expansion and diversification and advocation for tribal sovereignty.”

Officials with the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation, whose reservation is adjacent to the Menominee Reservation, expressed support for a Menominee Kenosha casino on Saturday.

“The Menominee are our neighbors and share many ties and many of the same needs as our community,” said Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation President Shannon Holsey in a statement. “We fully support their efforts to find the resources to address those needs, which can only help the larger tribal, regional and state communities.”

Officials from the Oneida and Mohican tribes cite the fact that the Menominee Nation is one of the poorest tribes in Wisconsin and revenue from a Kenosha casino would allow the tribe to invest in health and education needs and reduce high levels of poverty, hunger and unemployment on the Menominee Reservation.

The Menominee Nation is partnering with Hard Rock International, which is owned by the Seminole Tribe based in Florida, in the Kenosha casino project.

The casino would be on about 60 acres of land on the east and west sides of 122nd Avenue in Kenosha.

The village of Bristol last month agreed to sell the…

Group pushes to re-designate Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

A committee of the Sierra Club in PA and NJ chapters is pushing to re-classify the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area as a National Park.

DELAWARE WATER GAP, Pa. — The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area hosts millions of people every year, and now, even more people may look to come as the Alliance for the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve, a committee of the Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania and New Jersey chapters, looks to re-classify it as a national park.

John Donahue is the former superintendent of the National Recreation Area and a spokesperson for the New Jersey Sierra Club.

“This place is very special. It’s a sacred place for the American people, and it deserves to be one of our American cathedrals and a larger part of our American backyard,” Donahue said.

This map shows how the more than 70,000-acre national recreation area would be broken up.

Donahue says 56,000 huntable acres would be the Lenape Preserve.

The remaining 9,700 would be The Delaware River National Park.

The park would straddle the river and include Dingman and Raymondskill Falls.

But Joel Penkala, who lives on the New Jersey side, doesn’t think it’s a good idea.

“Mr. Donahue wants to bring prestige to the area. But prestige means people, and people means a million people. You know, we’re talking about a large number of people coming to the area. The environmental impact of that alone is distressing,” Penkala said.

Those who oppose the idea believe the way you use the park could change.

“I see it kind of as a diversity and equity issue. Right now, you can do the most different activities in this park at the least cost,” Penkala said. “I look at it and say if it becomes a park, there’s going…

Watch: Coordinator Adam DePaul tells how Rising Nation River Journey supports his work

Lenape Nation of Pa. Cultural Center is hosting another Rising Nation River Journey in the 20 year of the Treaty of Renewed Friendship. Here is why.

Nur B. Adam, Bucks County Courier Times

Hundreds of years after they were forced from their ancestral home along the Delaware River, the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania is still fighting for perhaps the most precious resource of all.

Recognition.

Pennsylvania does not officially recognize the Lenape Nation or any Native American tribe, a fact that strikes to the very core of Lenape Nation member Adam Waterbear DePaul.

“The fight for recognition has been incredibly disappointing so far. Pennsylvania is the only commonwealth to never recognize indigenous people, and we are trying to change that,” DePaul added. “Right now, we are taking steps to become state recognized. But it’s hard to say how that will turn out.”

DePaul is bringing attention to the Lenape Nation’s quest for official recognition and its longstanding commitment to the environment on the Rising Nation River Journey, during which members are paddling and hiking through and along the Delaware River, culminating with the Lower River treaty signing in West Cape May, New Jersey.

The tour started in…

Tickets to enjoy Gronkowski’s sendoff are $75, according to the Mohegan Sun website. The party begins at 9 p.m. EDT and runs for two hours. Disc jockey Whoo Kid will spin records during the party, Mohegan Sun said.

The celebration will also mark the debut of the “Gronk Smash Burger,” WTIC-TV reported.

An after-party will begin at 11:30 p.m. EDT at Mohegan Sun’s Avalon Nightclub, according to CT Insider.

Gronkowski announced his retirement on June 21 after 11 seasons in the NFL.

“I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field,” Gronkowski, a second-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2010, wrote in an Instagram post.

Gronkowski played nine seasons with the Patriots and sat out the 2019 season before rejoining quarterback Tom Brady for two seasons with the Buccaneers.

A Delaware River journey of nature and harmony

The mighty Delaware River flows for 330 miles, from its source in the Catskill Mountains of New York to its mouth in the Delaware Bay between New Jersey and Delaware. It provides drinking water for 13 million people, abundant scenic beauty, a corridor for trade and commerce, and habitat for diverse wildlife.

Many people love the Delaware, but perhaps none more than the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the descendants of the original people who lived along the river for thousands of years before European settlement.

“The river is very sacred to us; we say it’s our lifeblood,” said Barbara Bluejay, secretary of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, which draws members from all four states along the river and beyond.

Every four years, the Lenape Nation celebrates its ancestral lands and seeks peace and healing through a unique tradition: a month-long canoe paddle down the Delaware, with stops along the way for public signings of a ceremonial friendship treaty.

This year’s “Rising Nation River Journey” began on July 20 in Hancock, N.Y., on the upper Delaware, and will wrap up on Aug. 20 in Cape May. Treaty signings are scheduled in 10 locations, including Milford, Frenchtown, Lambertville and West Cape May in New Jersey.

The river paddle emphasizes the Lenape Nation’s spiritual connection to the river and nature. “We want people to take care of the river and take care of the Earth, because the Creator gave them to us,” said Bluejay.  “I did the river trip in 2010 and it was a magical experience,” she added. “You should see the eagles that followed us, and the dragonflies.”

The public is invited to bring their own canoes and kayaks and join the sojourn. But even people who don’t paddle can be part of the treaty signings.

“Our trip is all about…
