Honoring Lenape legacy in Scranton through new mural

Mural artists are transforming a once-barren wall in Scranton with the goal of educating people about Lackawanna County’s native roots.

SCRANTON, Pa. — Traditional color, artwork, and flower imagery help tell the story of those who lived in what is today Lackawanna County before any county lines were drawn.

“Two years ago, they came up with an idea, coming up with a mural to represent the Lenape people, my people, who were here pre-colonization,” said Ben Scott Miller, Delaware Tribe of Indians.

Ben Scott Miller is a member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and travels across the country working as a recognized Native American Artist and Designer.

Now in partnership with the Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Department and Scranton Tomorrow Mural Arts, Miller’s newest project is taking shape along North Washington Avenue in Scranton.

“Because we’ve been missing for 280 years, so I wanted to be able to express our culture and share it with the people of Scranton,” said Miller. Despite having such a big space, the original design has been altered a few times, “There was so much things that I wanted to put in there and I had to simplify it because sometimes when you simplify it, it’s better.”

Now, as Miller and fellow muralist Belin of Spain forge ahead on their work, the piece has begun to take shape.

“The man is like dance with his hand, and the lady is dancing too with the movement with the man. And with the clothes typical clothes from Lenape tribe,” said Miguel Angel Belinchon Bujes, Muralist.

Bringing a piece of beauty and educating the public on the Lenape tribe’s roots in Scranton.

“It’s always, always nice being able to see something up and maybe even like think about it or ask the question about…

Bucks County 9-8-8 Lifeline Calls Being Answered From Bristol

A building in Bucks County displays a message for 9-8-8. File photo.

Bucks County residents calling or texting 9-8-8 for mental health or substance use assistance are now connected with local professionals from the Lenape Valley Foundation.

The Doylestown-based nonprofit began operating the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for the county in June.

The 9-8-8 service is available 24/7 through call, text, or chat, and works to provide immediate crisis intervention, reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, limit law enforcement interactions for mental health crises, and connect callers with follow-up care and community resources.

“In the same way that 911 connects callers to physical health emergency services, 988 simplifies access to behavioral health emergency services,” said Dave Herold, CEO of the Lenape Valley Foundation. “This move will ensure that our neighbors in crisis can quickly reach trained professionals who provide inclusive, culturally responsive care and can connect them to the appropriate local support.”

The Lenape Valley Foundation has hired eight crisis hotline specialists to staff the call center.

The call center staff will work from the organization’s crisis residential center, The Lodge, in Bristol Borough.

Lenape Valley Foundation officials said the staff have experience counseling individuals and families, including veterans, Spanish speakers, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.

Kris Thompson, COO at Lenape Valley Foundation, explained the process for when someone is connected to a specialists.

“When somebody calls they’re going to be met by a trained, crisis phone specialist, who has training and deescalating mental health, substance abuse, and specifically, of course, folks struggling with suicidal ideation,” Thompson said. “They are trained in how to deescalate those scenarios in the moment. They’re also trained in providing connection to resources for that individual depending on what needs to occur next once the situation…
