Stockbridge-Munsees focus on correcting historical record through collaborations with Berkshire institutions

SHEFFIELD — The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans wants you to know their story. And they want to be the ones telling it to you. 

Their latest effort, “The Mohican Journey: Homelands, History and Hope,” an outdoor exhibit on display through Monday, Oct. 11, is the result of a nearly yearllong collaboration of the Stockbridge-Munsee community, the Sheffield Historical Society and the art department at Mount Everett Regional School.

If You Go

“The Mohican Journey: Homelands, History and Hope”

What: An interactive, multimedia exhibit that breaks down the history of the Muh-he-con-ne-ok, the “people of the waters that neve stand still.”

When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Oct. 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11

Where: Sheffield Historical Society, 159 Main St., Sheffield

Information: 413-229-2694, sheffieldhistory.weebly.com

“Exhibits like [Sheffield’s] allow us to be able to tell our history our way and in truth. There is no sugar-coating history in Indigenous history. Removal happened. Genocide happened. Loss of language, tradition and culture happened,” said Heather Bruegl, former director of Cultural Affairs for the Stockbridge-Munsees, in an email to The Eagle.

“The Mohican Journey,” is one of four Berkshire exhibits on display regarding the Stockbridge Mohicans. Three other exhibits about the Stockbridge-Munsees include: The Berkshire Museum’s “Muh-he-con-ne-ok: The People of the Waters That Are Never Still,” an exhibit curated by the Stockbridge-Munsee community; “Deeds of our Past: Stockbridge Indian Lands and Colonial Bonds,” an exhibit of biographies and translations of deeds at the Stockbridge Library; and “Mohican Miles,” at the Mission House Museum. 

In their own words: Stockbridge-Munsees share past. present and future in 'Muh-he-con-ne-ok: People of the Waters That Are Never Still'

The reliance on local organizations with an open mind is the kind of partnership that ensures, “the outcome accurately reflects Stockbridge-Munsees’ voice,”  said Bonney…

Feds Still Offering $5,000 Reward for Broome County Eagle Killer

Investigators are continuing their effort to find the person who fatally shot a bald eagle while it was in a tree north of Binghamton.

A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman said the special agent handling the case of last spring’s killing of the eagle in the town of Nanticoke has not received “any credible leads.”

The bird apparently had been in a tree near 1022 Nanticoke Road when someone shot it on April 3. Investigators determined the eagle died as the result of a gunshot wound sustained from a high-caliber rifle projectile.

A reward of up to $5,000 was posted for information leading to those responsible for the eagle’s death.

People with information about the shooting may contact Fish and Wildlife Service special agent Ryan Bessey at (716) 691-3635.

Bald eagles are federally protected by Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Violators could face fines of up to $100,000 and up to one year in prison.

House hit 3 times by vehicles running off road, property owner asking for help

BATON ROUGE – A repeat problem has one man calling 2 On Your Side for help. He says vehicles keep running into his house.

Robert Rogers has been working on fixing up a house at the corner of N. Foster Drive and Mohican Street. He’s determined to get it done, but each time he’s ready to move onto the next phase of the project, another vehicle comes barreling into his house.

“I’m trying to save it for my family,” Rogers said.

The property has been through a lot, including a fire. Rogers says it just needs a little TLC. But the project is currently stalled because of the repeat problem of cars running off the road and into the structure.

“Every time I get ready to fix it, somebody run into it. That’s the third time,” he said.

The latest incident happened about a month ago. Rogers says the driver was not insured and took out the bricks on one side of the house. The car’s bumper was left at the scene.

Rogers says each time a car runs off the road and into the house it sets him back. Instead of putting money into the house, he’s putting money into a problem created by someone else.

“And that’s hurting me. It’s hurting me big time,” he said.

It’s preventing him from moving on to the next steps of repairing the property, including electric, plumbing, sheetrock, windows, and flooring.

A street lamp near the corner illuminates the area, but it might not be enough. It’s why he’s contacted the city-parish for help and says he met with a city engineer last week. Rogers is requesting some sort of barricade be put near the corner to prevent drivers from losing control. The city-parish told him signs might do the trick.

“You…

‘We have not vanished’: Lenape exhibit to open at the Columns Museum on Oct. 6

The Pike County Historical Society is opening a new permanent exhibit, “The Lenape, Original People, Reconciling the Past, Embracing the Future,” at the Columns Museum in Milford. The exhibit will open on Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 1 pm.

The exhibit is the result of a five-year collaboration between the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Delaware Nation and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community (the three federally recognized Lenape tribes) in partnership with Milford Borough, descendants of the family of Tom Quick and the Pike County Historical Society.

The exhibit tells the story of the Lenape Indians, the indigenous people of the region, from the pre-Colonial era through today. The exhibit addresses, among others topics, the forced relocation of the tribes, the legend of Tom Quick (the so-called “Indian Slayer of the Delaware”) and the Walking Purchase Treaty, a land swindle perpetrated on the Lenape that includes part of Pike County.

“We are proud to be able to tell this important part of Pike County’s history,” said Lori Strelecki, the Columns Museum curator. “The fact that the exhibit was created in partnership with the Lenape tribes, the Quick family and the Borough makes it especially meaningful.”

Brad Kill’s Crow, Chief of the Anadarko, Oklahoma-based Delaware Tribe of Indians, said “We have not vanished or even diminished as a People. We are, however, far from the hearts and minds of the people of Pike County and the Borough of Milford. Over 1,300 miles, in fact, due to the United States Indian removal policies. The removal from our Homelands still hurts our hearts today. We hope this exhibit will remind people that we are still here today — the Original People of Pike County.”

For 100 years, a zinc obelisk honoring Tom Quick was displayed as a point of pride in Milford Borough. In 1999, the…

Pair of Tribe teams win tourneys to earn spot in Alliance Nationals

Delaware Tribe 16U team 2021

The Delaware Tribe 16U team celebrates earning their ticket to national competition with an undefeated performance in New Jersey on Sept. 25-26.

Coastal Point • Submitted

It was a proverbial flex of the softball muscles for a pair of local Delaware Tribe softball teams this past weekend, as both the 16U and 14U teams won their respective Alliance Softball National Qualifier brackets to earn a spot in the national championship tournaments next year.

The 16U Tribe squad — coached by Sarah Hoban — went undefeated in their games held in Pennsville, N.J., last weekend. Shaniya Lewis and Lily Hoban each hit home runs in the team’s quarterfinal win, with Lewis adding a second to her stat line with a walk-off, game-winning blast in the semifinals.

“Alliance Fastpitch is who puts on the championship series, and it was hosted by East Coast Softball,” Hoban noted. “It’s done like the college World Series. We competed against teams that featured kids from multiple states on them, while we are basically an all-local team. So it makes it pretty special to know that.

“The girls really played well all weekend long,” she added. “Lily Hoban batted over .500 for the tournament. Sisters Laniya and Shaniya Lewis really swung the bats well. Ava Calciano, Jaya Shaub and Kinsley Hall also had some big hits for us.”

For the weekend, Hoban batted .556, with a pair of doubles, a triple and the home run previously mentioned. Laniya Lewis had a pair of doubles, while sister Shaniya had the two home runs and a double amongst her offensive output.

Other extra base hits for the Tribe included a triple from Calciano, two doubles and a triple from Hall, three doubles from Shaub and a double by Aniya Blake.

At Mohegan Sun, Lamont places historic bet on the home team

In a bet both sound and politic, Gov. Ned Lamont put down $50 on the home team around 9:45 a.m. Thursday at Mohegan Sun.

And legal sports betting was underway in Connecticut.

Minutes after placing the first such bet in state history, Lamont traveled to Foxwoods Resort Casino, where he placed $20 bets on the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and took another bow with Mashantucket Pequot tribal officials.

In both places, the governor said, “This has been a long time coming.”

Before James Gessner Jr., the Mohegan chairman, cut a ceremonial ribbon, Jeff Hamilton, Mohegan Sun’s president and general manager, provided Lamont with a brief tutorial on one of several self-service kiosks in the casino’s temporary FanDuel Sportsbook in the Bow & Arrow Sports Bar. After some remarks, Lamont placed a bet at a counter window manned by a teller.

“Fifty on the Sun,” he said as he turned from the window, signaling he’d bet on the Connecticut Sun, the Mohegan-owned WNBA team that was scheduled to play in nearby  Mohegan Sun Arena in about 10 hours.

The Sun were a 71/2-point favorite to beat the Chicago Sky and even their best-of-five playoff series at a game apiece.

Asked what else he might bet on, Lamont said he’d been learning about “prop” bets, short for proposition, which can be made on individual performances, such as how many touchdown passes a quarterback might throw in a game — or in a half or a quarter.

“The prop bet I’d like to make is whether Tom Brady and Bill Belichick embrace at the end of their game,” Lamont quipped, referring to the former New England Patriots quarterback whose Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Belichick-coached Patriots this Sunday night in a much-anticipated National Football League tilt.

At Foxwoods, he…
