Water Lantern Festival lights up Lake Lenape

Lake Lenape provided the backdrop for a night of unity and reflection as the Water Lantern Festival brought the community together on Saturday evening.

The festival, part of a national series that takes place in cities across the country, drew hundreds of participants to Mays Landing. Guests enjoyed live music, food trucks, local vendors, and family activities including a scavenger hunt, before gathering along the shoreline for the main event.

At sunset, the crowd released decorated lanterns carrying handwritten notes, wishes, and prayers. The glowing display stretched across the lake, symbolizing hope, healing, and new beginnings. Each participant received a kit that included a biodegradable lantern and LED light, making the launch both safe and environmentally friendly.

The Water Lantern Festival is designed to be inclusive and family-friendly, with discounted admission for children. A portion of proceeds also goes toward local and international charities, adding another layer of purpose to the evening.

The sight of lanterns drifting together across Lake Lenape was a sight to behold and brought the festival to a memorable close.

$60M Amazon hub with 900 delivery vans coming to Hanover Twp.

HANOVER TWP. — E-commerce and technology giant Amazon plans to invest $60 million to build a new distribution center in the township that will be the hub for a fleet of 900 delivery vans.

Amazon recently purchased more than 125 acres along the border of Nanticoke for $24.75 million to construct one of its “last-mile” facilities where individual orders are prepared for deliveries, according to plans outlined by township Manager Sam Guesto.

“This is all going to be blue Amazon vans,” Guesto said, pointing to a sprawling parking lot while reviewing a blueprint of the proposed Amazon campus.

Amazon describes its “last mile” facilities, or delivery stations, as the final stop in a package’s journey to a customer and different from fulfillment centers where mass inventory is stored for bulk distribution.

The Hanover Twp. delivery station will serve a 50-mile radius in the region, Guesto said.

Amazon plans to build a 275,000-square-foot warehouse and two smaller 6,500-square-foot buildings that the vans drive through each time they enter and exit the property, Guesto said.

Before Amazon expressed interest in the site, a developer planned to build a 1 million-square-foot warehouse — even bigger than the Chewy and Adidas warehouses in the Hanover Industrial Estates that are about 800,000-square-feet each and could be seen from Interstate 81, Guesto said.

The Amazon campus will be located along Dziak Drive adjacent to a Safelite Auto Glass warehouse on a currently wooded ridge of mine-scarred land behind the Hanover Recreation Park on Front Street, which is the border of Hanover Twp. and the densely residential Hanover section of Nanticoke.

Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans to hold first powwow on ancestral homelands in 200 years this weekend in New Lebanon

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians were driven west by expanding European settler colonialism in the early 19th Century after calling the Northeast home for millennia. Now, the Wisconsin-based community is preparing to return to reignite its relationship with the homelands it’s missed for centuries.

“We traveled out east there to the homelands, and we found healing,” Wanonah Kosbab told WAMC. “So, we wanted to extend it to the rest of our people. And so, we started working together on how we could get our people back to the homeland so that they can start their healing journey as well and dance on the homelands and touch down where our ancestors were.”

Kosbab is a board member for the Homelands PowWow, a recognition of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians’ long history in the region that will take place on the grounds of the Darrow School in New Lebanon on Saturday and Sunday.

“The powwow is a gathering,” she explained. “It’s a celebration of people, of life, in this case, of land, and past stewards of that land, and current stewards of that land coming together, to share in community, to share meals, laughter, joy. It’s all about coming back together. And in this particular case, it’s important, because when we left them homelands, there was a lot of negative energy that was left behind. And so that negative energy just kind of sits there and stews, and it’s a stale energy. And so when we reconnect in a good way, we replace that negative energy with all of this good energy that we’re bringing by coming back together in community, in love this time.”

Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans member Ginger Stevens, who also sits on the powwow’s board, made her inaugural trip to the homelands – a region spanning…

Lenape/Delaware leader to speak at Marywood

Curtis Zunigha (Lenape/Delaware) will present “Remembrance & Continuance: The Spirit of Lenapehoking” on Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Latour Room, Nazareth Student Center, on the campus of Marywood University.

The program is free and open to the public and is being co-sponsored by Marywood University and the University of Scranton.

Zunigha is an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and a veteran of the Air Force. He will discuss the return of the Lenape descendants to their original homeland, where he and other contemporary Lenape leaders from Delaware Tribal Nations are forming community partnerships that bring Indigenous knowledge to the area’s history and environmental advocacy.

He is co-founder and co-director of the Lenape Center based in Manhattan, New York. The Lenape Center’s mission is continuing Lenapehoking, the original homeland, in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, through community, culture and the arts.

A specialist in Delaware/Lenape culture, language, and traditional practices, Zunigha has 35 years of experience in tribal government and administration, community development, telecommunications and cultural preservation. He also has presented locally at the University of Scranton and at the Greenhouse Project in Nay Aug Park.

Mohegan Bid To Build Manhattan Casino Resort Rejected

A community board has rejected plans to build a Mohegan Sun casino resort in Manhattan.

Titled the Freedom Plaza development, the proposal was denied by a state-commissioned community advisory committee on a 4-2 vote. It included hotels, retail, dining, entertainment and housing.

Committee members were appointed by Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams and other local politicians.

In a last ditch effort to gain local support, developers revealed last weekend they would commit to making more than 1,000 residential units proposed for the project permanently afforadable.

Other community investments were also pledged, such as a museum, a community centre, a daycare and acres of public open space.

The Soloviev Group led the development and its CEO, Michael Hershman, said its vision would have “revitalised” Manhattan:

“Manhattan is the undisputed capital of the world, and it deserved a fully integrated resort that would have attracted visitors while serving the needs of its community.”

The project spanned more than six acres from 38th Street to 41st Street east of First Avenue and was the last remaining proposal under consideration for Manhattan.

When approached for a response by the Independent, spokespersons for Mohegan Sun, the tribe-owned casino company in Connecticut, did not respond.

One of the planet’s most famous rappers Jay-Z backed plans to build a Caesars Palace casino in Times Square which was voted down by a community board last week alongside another gambling resort on Manhattan’s West Side in the Hudson Yards area.

There are three state gambling licences up for grabs in the New York City are and five proposals are now remaining in the race – including a Bally’s casino on a Bronx public golf course, a gambling hall on Coney Island’s boardwalk in Brooklyn and a Hard Rock casino next to Citi Field in Queens, the home of…
