‘Abuse, neglect, malnutrition’: Munsee-Delaware chief calls for more action amidst grave site discoveries

MUNSEE-DELAWARE FIRST NATION, ONT. — “I’ve heard some very tragic stories and I’ve seen the impacts of those experiences with these people. Abuse, neglect, malnutrition, slave labour,” says Chief Mark Peters of Munsee-Delaware First Nation.

Many First Nations communities across Canada grieve as the country continues to discover mass unmarked grave sites.

The most recent, was found near Cowessess First Nation in southern Saskatchewan where roughly 751 sites were discovered.

“It’s not surprising that people don’t know. To an extent, if we hadn’t experienced and known our own people’s experiences here, we wouldn’t have known either,” says Peters.

Nearby, the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation is also feeling the emotional effects of recent discoveries, telling CTV News London in a statement, “Our hearts are heavy with sorrow today. More weight has been added to the collective grief felt by Indigenous people.”

Both First Nations communities are calling on the government for resources to help bring them closure.

“We demand that the Canadian government and the Catholic Church respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action 71 to 76 and to hand over all documents and records from these institutions which have been withheld from us and greatly hinder our ability to identify and repatriate the remains of our loved ones,” the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation said in a statement.

While there’s no way to 100 percent deter car break-ins, there are some steps that you can take to make your vehicle a much less appealing target.

First responders have recovered the body of a Seaford man who drowned in the Nanticoke River, Maryland State Police said.

A Maryland Natural Resources Police helicopter patrolling the area of Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown located 53-year-old John Davis around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday. Police said his body was found in the Nanticoke River about a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen over the weekend.

Troopers from the Salisbury Barrack were called to Cherry Beach Park shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday for a report of a possible drowning.

They arrived to find Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department conducting dive operations and searching via boat for Davis.

Bellator 261 results: Liz Carmouche swarms Kana Watanabe for 35-second knockout

Liz Carmouche wasted no time making her statement for a title shot at Bellator 261.

Not only did Carmouche (16-7 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) take the unbeaten record from Kana Watanabe (10-1-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), but she did it in a mere 35 seconds, finishing the women’s flyweight co-headliner by knockout at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

The former UFC title challenger came out of the gate on fire. She pressured Watanabe and hurt her with a big right hand, forcing the Japanese fighter to back up against the fence.

Carmouche was relentless once she had Watanabe in trouble, throwing a flurry of strikes and tagging her opponent over and over. Although Watanabe didn’t go down, the referee decided he’d seen enough and waved it off.

It was Carmouche’s intention to deliver a memorable performance, and she did just that with the fastest win of her career. Now she wants the winner of the next title fight between Juliana Velasquez and Denise Kielholtz on July 17.

“I wanted that finish. I want that belt and I know tonight I needed to put on a strong finish,” Carmouche said in her post-fight interview with John McCarthy. “I wanted her, when she looks back at that loss on her record, she remembers me and a hard finish.”

The latest Bellator 261 results include:

  • Liz Carmouche def. Kana Watanabe via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 0:35
  • Sidney Outlaw def. Myles Jury via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 3, 4:44
  • Daniel Weichel def. Keoni Diggs via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27)
  • Christian Edwards def. Simon Biyong via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Tribes, historians differ in views on true successor to ‘1839 Cherokees’

In September 1839, a group of Cherokees convened in Tahlequah to frame a new constitution. Today, two Cherokee tribes exist in Tahlequah: the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.

As it stands today, the UKB asserts it is a “successor in interest” to the historical Cherokee Nation. Meanwhile, the Cherokee Nation – also known as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma – claims it remains the tribe for which the 1839 Constitution was created, and has repeatedly insisted the UKB’s claim to be a successor in interest is false.

“My argument is they changed their name from Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma to Cherokee Nation as a cosmetic ruse so people would think they are the same entity,” said David Cornsilk, a dual-enrolled member of both tribes, genealogist and historian. Cornsilk, a former journalist, believes the tribe known as the Cherokee Nation today is not the same as the one from 1839.

In 1975, Principal Chief Ross Swimmer led an effort to create a new constitution, for which the title read “the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.” Then, the tribe drafted a new constitution in 1999 and ratified it in 2003, leaving the “of Oklahoma” portion out.

Chad Smith, who served as principal chief at the time, said the name has always been “Cherokee Nation,” though.

“There wasn’t an Oklahoma when Cherokees came to Indian Territory,” Smith said. “So when the federal acts for allotment occurred, it was always the ‘Cherokee Nation’. It was in 1975 that Ross Swimmer … led the effort to update the constitution. If you look at the text of the constitution, it never changes the name. The only place the name is [changed] is in the printer’s title.”

In 1970, Congress passed the Five Tribes Principal Chiefs Act, allowing citizens and descendants of the Five Tribes to popularly select…

Hanover Township police charge Nanticoke man for Lee Park stabbing

 			 				 Suprum

Suprum

HANOVER TWP. — Township police say they charged a Nanticoke man with stabbing another person on Lee Park Avenue last week.

Nicholas Suprum, 20, last known address as West Green Street, is facing charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, harassment, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and underage consumption of alcohol, police said.

Suprum has not been arraigned on the charges as of Tuesday morning.

Last week, township police Chief Al Walker said the incident was a domestic dispute at a residence in Lee Park resulting in the assault outside a store on June 15. The victim, whose name was not released, was treated for several lacerations.

Police said Suprum was recently jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $150,000 bail on a separate incident.

The separate incident involves allegations from Suprum’s ex-girlfriend on May 29 claiming he sent her several text messages threatening to kill her and repeatedly contacted her in violation of a protection-from abuse order. Suprum’s ex-girlfriend resides in the Lee Park area.

Court records say Suprum was arrested by police in February 2019 after he assaulted his ex-girlfriend in an incident captured by a surveillance camera on Woodbury Street in Lee Park.

Footage showed Suprum grabbing he girl, throwing her to the ground and dragging her away only to show the girl running and being chased by Suprum, court records say.

Suprum pleaded guilty to simple assault and was sentenced Oct. 25, 2019, by President Judge Michael T. Vough to one-month to 23 months served at the county correctional facility. Prosecutors withdrew several charges against Suprum in a plea deal.

Suprum was also sentenced to six months in…

‘Pitbull’ Freire-McKee Bellator clash set for July 31

Bellator will be back on the road with perhaps the best fight it can put on at this moment.

Patricio “Pitbull” Freire will meet the undefeated AJ McKee in the final of the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix on July 31 in Inglewood, California, the promotion announced Wednesday. Freire will defend his Bellator featherweight title in the contest, and the winner — and tournament champion — will receive $1 million. A live crowd will be in attendance.

The card, named Bellator 263, will be the first domestic event held by the promotion outside Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, since Feb. 21, 2020. Mohegan Sun was the site of Bellator’s bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic. The promotion did run four shows overseas last fall.

ESPN has Freire ranked No. 3 in the world at featherweight. McKee is currently unranked, but in 2019, ESPN ranked him the best fighter in the world under 25 years old. Freire beat Juan Archuleta, Pedro Carvalho and Emmanuel Sanchez in the grand prix to make the final. McKee defeated Georgi Karakhanyan, Derek Campos and Darrion Caldwell.

Freire (32-4) has the most wins in Bellator history (20) and seven successful title defenses over two reigns with the Bellator featherweight title. The Brazil native has won seven straight, four of those via finish. Freire, 33, is regarded as the best fighter in Bellator history. He has the most wins in Bellator title fights (10), the most title fights (12) and is tied with Michael Chandler for the most finishes (13) in the promotion.

McKee (17-0) is one of the best young fighters in the world. The Los Angeles native made his Bellator debut in 2015 and has never lost, with 12 of his 17 wins coming via finish. He…
