Spirit of the Land consideration essential – Anishinabek News

The Spirit of the Land panel featuring (from left) Katelyn Peters, a Munsee Delaware Nation member on the Eshki-niigijig Advisory Council; Northern Superior Regional Chief Mel Hardy and Getzit Nmishomis James Mishquart, both from Biinjitiwaabik Zaagiing Anishinaabek; and Angel Ransom from First Nations Major Projects Coalition.

By Kelly Anne Smith

NORTH BAY—Opening the Anishinabek Nation’s 2025 Lands and Resources Forum on February 11 in North Bay, Ont., Ookomis Donna Debassige from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory recited the Chi-Naaknigewin preamble, Ngo Dwe Waangizid Anishnaabe (One Anishinaabe Family).

Nipissing First Nation Gookmis Evelyn McLeod gave Anishinaabemowin words of wisdom, as did Mishoomis Richard Assinewai of Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory, the Anishinabek Nation’s Head Getzit.

Mishoomis Assinewai reminded Forum participants to care for our gifts the Anishinaabe way.

“It’s time to start rising. To start speaking. Start speaking for the lands, the people, language, treaties – everything. Start speaking for it. Protect it. We have a gift in that Preamble (Ngo Dwe Waangizid Anishinaabe). We do it our way, not somebody else telling us how to do something.”

During the Anishinabek Nation Leadership panel, Southeast Regional Chief Marsha Smoke commended the Lands and Resources Department for all of the data collected and worked on and the input from communities, providing the foundation for political advocacy. Northwest Regional Chief Mel Hardy said the province is coming across the land, not taking consideration for the Spirit of the Land.

Northwest Regional Chief Hardy has been working alongside Angel Ransom, a Nak’azdli Whut’en First Nation member who helps communities with environmental assessments. Ransom is the vice-president of environmental services with First Nations Major…

Plenty of area girls wrestlers set to compete at regionals

Central Mountain, Bald Eagle Area, Jersey Shore and Bellefonte have a number of talented girls wrestlers in their lineup at various weights. And that talent translated to success at the District 6 and District 4 championships recently.

The next step for those standouts from their schools is this weekend’s Central Regional tournament on Saturday at Milton High School, which features a number of talented wrestlers from throughout Pennsylvania looking to get to the state tournament.

One wrestler who already knows what it takes to get to the state tournament is Central Mountain’s Kendall Wagner. The two-sport standout — who plays basketball for Bucktail’s girls basketball team — took silver this year at 170 pounds at districts and is set to medal once again at regionals.

Last winter, Wagner took silver at regionals and became the Wildcats’ first girls wrestler state placewinner as she took eighth.

Wagner, however, is in a brutal bracket this year at 170. The field features the top two state-ranked wrestlers in the state in Punxsutawney senior Jael Miller and Greater Nanticoke junior Sierra Ripka.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Express Central Mountain’s Austynn Falls wrestles during a tournament this season. The sophomore is set to represent the Wildcats at the Central Regional girls wrestling tournament, Saturday at Milton.

Miller is ranked No. 1 in the state with a 24-0 record and won the District 9 title while Ripka is ranked No. 2 and won the District 2 title. Wagner is on Ripka’s side of the bracket.

Wagner is 22-6 this year and will face District 2 fourth-place finisher Annalia Ward in the first round. If Wagner earns a victory, she’ll have to wrestle either Athens’ Abigail Wagner (22-8), the District 4 champion, or Huntingdon’s Lillian Casterline, the District 6 fifth-place finisher.

While having the top…

Ohio Treehouse Cabins Make For a Peaceful Getaway in Amish Country

A tiny, octagonal cabin greets us in the canopy of The Mohicans. And then, we nerd out a little: It’s a true treehouse, held up by cables and wooden beam supports drilled into two healthy, towering trees. 

We step up a wooden staircase and open the arched front door to a blast of warm air. The Nest is big enough for a bit of luxury: a queen-size bed, a reading chair, a full bathroom (with steaming hot water in the shower), a sink, a mini fridge, a microwave, two space heaters and a small TV with a DVD player. A vaulted ceiling frames a dangling chandelier, and a rope swing dangles beneath the treehouse, with a fire pit nearby. A wraparound porch connects to a boardwalk, leading to a nearby event venue.

And then there’s the view: a vast sea of barren wintry trees, which blur in the pastel pinks and blues of the dimming sunset.

The Nest, often a honeymoon suite for warmer weather weddings held in the 200-capacity venue next door, is the smallest of 10 unique treehouses at The Mohicans. In the offseason, it’s a cozy respite from chaotic holiday schedules, winter blues and city life.

“I love Cleveland. Born and raised here,” says The Mohicans co-owner Kevin Mooney, “but in Cleveland, sometimes, there’s not as much to do, so I think we’re a great getaway. And I think it’s another way to enjoy nature in the wintertime.”

Mohicans Treehouses

Kevin and Laura Mooney first purchased the 77-acre property in Glenmont, 90 minutes south of Cleveland, as a nature-filled escape for their own family. But after he sold a sales consulting company at 40, Kevin found he wasn’t ready to retire. The Mooneys decided…

No erasers allowed in Mohican Writers Circle

The Mohican Writers Circle has been going strong since 2011, but the tribe’s concept of sharing writing dates back to the end of the 19th century, mostly from the pure enjoyment of sharing creativity but also to stave off attempts to erase the Mohican culture.

Several writers meet regularly on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation, eager to talk about what they’ve written. Whether it’s at the Mohican Family Center or on the top floor of the North Star Casino, those writers love to see their various worlds take flight.

The purpose of the writers circle varies from person to person, but the mission statement tasks the group to work as mentors for any tribal members or their descendants who want to share their stories or history.

“We started meeting to try to get some writing going of our own,” said JoAnn Schedler, one of the founding members who currently serves as secretary for the group. “It’s been amazing because of Misty (Cook) and Bonney (Hartley) and our younger people that have been a part of the group. Our circle has grown.”

So far, the group has published two books. One is “Reflections on the Waters that are Never Still: Literary Journal of the Mohican People,” which featured 26 writers and was published in 2015. Following in 2023 was “Along the Many Trails: Literary Journal of the Mohican People,” with 27 tribal members telling their stories. Schedler said the books were made possible because of a pair of grants the writers circle was able to receive from the Wisconsin Arts Board.

Now, the group is working on a third book, which members hope to publish by the time the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe’s annual pow wow rolls around in August.

“We’ve had workshops, and we’ve had several elder workshops,” Schedler said. “Through that, that’s how…

Greater heights: Nanticoke students win NASA challenge, will send soil to stratosphere

An experiment from students at Greater Nanticoke Area High School will soon reach new heights — and could provide insight into conditions on Mars.

NASA selected the Luzerne County juniors as one of 60 winning teams from across the country in the TechRise Student Challenge. This summer, a flight box containing the group’s soil experiment will soar on a NASA-sponsored flight test on a high-altitude balloon.

Liam McGovern said he “jumped for joy” when he and fellow engineering club members learned that NASA selected their proposal.

“Our experiment from Nanticoke, a town that probably not a lot of people have actually really heard of, It’s been chosen for the entire state,” he said. “Now we get to do something that’s just really interesting. It could help us a lot with going to Mars.”

The students will take soil samples from several places across the United States — fertile soil from the Midwest, desert soil of the Southwest and volcanic soil from Hawaii — and place them in the flight box. Several monitors will help track conditions.

The box will be one of 60 in the NASA challenge that will rise to an altitude of about 70,000 feet and stay there for about four hours.

With an expected temperature of 75 degrees below zero, low atmospheric pressure and high levels of radiation, the conditions will be similar to the…

7 Of The Quietest Ohio Towns

Dreaming of a getaway where the loudest sound is the wind through the trees? Ohio, centrally located in the Midwest and bordering Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, has some of the country’s loveliest small towns. With its western hills of rolling countryside, Appalachian foothills in the south, and lakeshores of Lake Erie in the north, the state has a landscape of contrasts and variety perfect for relaxation. Shaped by early settlers, canals, and railroads, many of Ohio’s quiet villages have preserved their heritage and embraced nature as a refuge from today’s hectic world. From hiking in dense woods, strolling down unruffled main streets, and soaking up lake views, these locations promise a slower, more relaxed pace. Come to Ohio and find the peace you have always longed for, especially in the seven quietest towns.

Granville

The town of Granville is an untroubled haven where landscape and history harmonize. The 19th-century Bryn Du Mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, is a town-owned facility with a calm ambiance, outdoor space, changing art exhibits, and events. Beyond the mansion, the Alligator Mound, a prehistoric earthwork of ancient Ohioans, stands on a bluff overlooking the valley of Raccoon Creek, adding stillness and mystery to the town.

For those needing seclusion in the wide-open spaces, Spring Valley Nature Preserve features secluded hiking paths, wood walkovers, and a winding creek. It is the ideal sanctuary for strollers and bird watchers. The Robbins Hunter Museum, a Greek Revival house, brings 19th-century customs alive with period pieces and historical relics. Opera House Park, with its covered benches and secluded location, has one of the…

Bain Capital Assumes Control of South Korean Resort from Mohegan Gaming

Mounting Financial Woes

Despite INSPIRE being one of South Korea’s significant investments, MGE South Korea has faced financial difficulties since its grand opening in January 2024. By September of last year, the IR had hemorrhaged KRW265.4 billion (US$152.18 million) in net losses despite generating a record revenue of KRW219 billion (US$184.42 million).

Mohegan also failed to clear a US$275 million “Korea Term Loan”, explaining that, at the time, it was confident in its ability to access sufficient cash and liquidity. Additionally, the resort was required to reach financial targets contained within its loan documents.

Business as Usual

Bain Capital may have exercised its right to take over INSPIRE, but it insists the transition will not cause interruptions. The establishment’s employees, guests, and day-to-day operations will continue as usual. In a statement, Bain Capital stated, “Although the management rights have been transferred to Bain Capital, there will be no immediate changes in the executive team.”

The company also emphasized its commitment to establishing a strong collaborative relationship with staff and investors to maintain INSPIRE’s sustainable growth. It added, “As a long-term investor with a strong track record in Korea, Bain Capital will provide full support to enhance INSPIRE’s financial performance, elevate guest experience, and drive sustained growth.”

About INSPIRE

Previously known as Mohegan INSPIRE, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort had a soft launch of non-gaming commercial operations in 2023. It later opened a foreigner-exclusive casino in February 2024.

The establishment spans an expansive 461,661 sq ft, featuring three five-star hotels with 1,275 rooms combined. Other amenities include a 15,000-seat performance arena, a 4,000-capacity convention center, and an indoor waterpark under a glass dome. It also hosts South Korea’s largest foreigner-only casino.

Avery Lee Ellis, 88 – Morning Star Publications

Avery Lee Ellis of Seaford passed away peacefully at TidalHealth Nanticoke, surrounded by family, after a sudden illness, on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025.

Avery was born on June 10, 1936, in Seaford and raised in the Woodland community by his parents, Claude Daniel Ellis and Maude Elizabeth Willey Ellis. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Paul Edward Ellis, sister-in-law, Shirley Ann Ellis and daughter-in-law, Betty Jane Ellis.

Avery was always quick to laugh and tease, earning a nickname in some social circles as the Maytag man because he loved to agitate people.

He could be counted on to lend a helping hand, whether it was watching a grandchild or helping a neighbor or friend. Avery has spent many years helping the GFWC Acorn ladies deliver the Seaford telephone books and set up their Christmas lights on Stein Highway. Avery was an active member in Woodland Community Church, often found helping in the kitchen, setting up holiday flowers or handing out bulletins.

Avery enjoyed traveling but was always happiest being near the home farm, surrounded by family and friends. Almost every morning, he would be out before the sun was up to start his coffee social rounds, which had multiple stops. The afternoons, he might take a ride to see what the local farmers were up to.

While Avery wore many different hats (U.S, Army veteran, railroader, DuPont retiree, freemason, mailman, and farmer), his proudest hats were husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother and friend. He was our backbone, our patriarch.

Avery is survived by a loving wife and friend of 63 years, Louise E. Figgs Ellis; daughter, Deanna L. Collins (Brad); sons, Stephen K. Ellis (Laura) and Gregory L. Ellis (Celeste); grandchildren, Sarah A. Ellis (Timothy), Jennifer L. Ellis (Dylan), Jason G. Ellis (Tina), Paige Collins Parlier (Keith), Claude J. Ellis (Kara), and Travis G….
