Nanticoke in Haldimand County is one of three properties owned by Ontario Power Generation currently under consideration by the Ford government as locations for future power plants to meet Ontario’s rising need for energy.

At its height, the Nanticoke Generating Station generated 4,000 megawatts of electricity. The coal-fired plant was decommissioned in 2013 after a four-decade run as one of Canada’s most important power producers — and one of the country’s largest single sources of pollution.

Last week, Energy Minister Stephen Lecce named the property on the shores of Lake Erie as a possible future home for a new power plant.

Along with Nanticoke, the province is looking at Lambton in St. Clair and Wesleyville in Port Hope.

All three southern Ontario properties are already zoned for electricity generation and are located near transmission lines and areas expected to see what Lecce called “soaring demand” for electricity to power manufacturing facilities, data centres, artificial intelligence programs and electric vehicle charging stations.

Lecce did not specify what types of power plants the province wants to build, but the ministry has said nuclear and gas plants are on the table.

Ontario can meet the projected demand for energy until 2035, but the province must add an additional 16,000 megawatts by 2050, by which point the Independent Electricity System Operator predicts demand will have risen 75 per cent from…

OU Health Sciences to use $50,000 grant to connect Native American prisoners of war descendants

No Comments on OU Health Sciences to use $50,000 grant to connect Native American prisoners of war descendants

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center will use a $50,000 grant to bring together descendants of 72 Native Americans held captive in St. Augustine, Florida from 1875 to 1878.

The project, “Calling Back the Spirits: A Healing Journey,” hopes to uncover more oral history of the experiences of those held as prisoners of war and what happened after release.

The National Endowment for the Humanities donated the funds for OUHSC to hold a three-day convening of tribal leaders, scholars, museum professionals and descendants of Native American prisoners of war from Fort Marion in St. Augustine, also known as Castillo de San Marcos, to discuss experiences stemming from captivity.

Dolores Subia Bigfoot, a child psychologist by training and a presidential professor who directs the Indian Country Child Trauma Center within the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect at OUHSC, is the principal investor for the grant.

“What we’re doing is bringing together as many descendants of these 72 POWs that went to Fort Marion 150 years ago,” Bigfoot said. “And to some of them, some of the families have stories. Some of them don’t have very much information.”

The convening is set to take place from March 25 to 27 at OUHSC in Oklahoma City. The funds granted will pay for mileage, hotel rooms and supplies.

“We want to give people an opportunity to come together in an event that hasn’t occurred before, and to gather any oral stories not necessarily about Fort Marion, but just their own experiences,” Bigfoot said. “And also to do the convening in such a way that is not re-traumatizing, but that we have some healing aspects that will be comforting and reassuring and soothing as we go through this process.”

Bigfoot said the convening is…

No Comments on Culture Fair to Celebrate Lenape, Indigenous Heritage at Prospect Park

The Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing Indigenous Culture Fair on Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 will include performances, craft vendors and workshops celebrating Lenape and other Indigenous traditions.

The Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing Indigenous Culture Fair will occur on Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 in Prospect Park, with performances, craft vendors and workshops celebrating Lenape and other Indigenous traditions.

Highlights of the event include performances by the Red Blanket Singers, who will share songs, dances and drumming, according to a press release. Attendees can also participate in corn husk-making workshops and enjoy Indigenous cuisine from vendors such as the award-winning Sly Fox Den.

In addition, over a dozen Indigenous artisans will showcase their work, including Turtle Soul Native Arts, Schenandoah Deerskin Designz and Blue Turquoise Rose Trading Post.

The event, held at the Picnic House, is organized by Prospect Park Alliance, in collaboration with the Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing Collective and the American Indian Community House.

“We are honored to welcome these talented artists and artisans from across the regions to the heart of Brooklyn’s Backyard, their ancestral homeland and share their culture with our community,” said Prospect Park Alliance President Morgan Monaco.

The fair is part of the Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative, a project transforming the Lefferts Historic House Museum to focus on the history, resistance and resilience of the Lenape and enslaved Africans who once lived on these lands. The event is funded by grants from the American Indian Community House and New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.

“Indigenous people and culture have profoundly shaped New York City,” said Speaker Adams. “The Council is proud to support this event, offering New Yorkers a chance to celebrate the rich history of the Lenape people. Understanding our past is essential to building a brighter, inclusive future.”

New bakery to open in CT. Why a casino chose this brand as part of ‘focus on great food’

No Comments on New bakery to open in CT. Why a casino chose this brand as part of ‘focus on great food’

In a partnership with a burgeoning local brand, Mohegan Sun will open a Sift Bake Shop in the spring, the casino has announced.

The bakery will open alongside A.T.Y. Bar & Bonbons “presented by Grey Goose,” a boutique cocktail bar serving bonbons and other confections, the latest ventures pursued by the husband-and-wife team of celebrated pastry chef Adam Young and Ebbie Young.

The couple got their starts in hospitality at the Ocean House Hotel & Resort in Watch Hill, where Adam was executive pastry chef.

He opened the Sift Bake Shop in Mystic in the spring of 2016, focusing on desserts, artisanal breads, pastries and macarons, all made daily from scratch. He opened a second Sift in Watch Hill in 2018, and added the Mix Restaurant & Rooftop Bar at the Mystic location in 2019.

In 2020, he opened Young Buns Doughnuts in Mystic and started Adam T. Young Confections, an online chocolate company. He opened a third Sift Bake Shop in Niantic in 2022.

The Food Network crowned him “Best Baker in America” in a 2018 competition.

Jeff Hamilton, Mohegan Sun’s president and general manager, said the casino’s partnership with A.T.Y. Hospitality is in keeping with its approach to maintaining a variety of dining options.

“A key part of our strategic goal in recent years and in looking to the future is to bring immersive and high-quality F&B (food-and-beverage) brands to the resort that focus on great food, exceptional guest service and unique dining experiences that drive new visitation and increase visits from our loyal guests,” he said.

“Sift is certainly a continuation of this strategy, as we developed a relationship with chef Adam Young and his wife, Ebbie, through our annual Sun Wine & Food Fest, and from there saw the growing success of Sift and associated brands throughout the region.”

“It is not uncommon to see a line out the door of Sift Bake Shop at their locations in Mystic, Niantic and Watch Hill,”…

The Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) program of Montclair State University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences has been awarded a three-year, $1 million grant from the Mellon Foundation to create a new center, the New Jersey Center for Indigenous Justice (NJCIJ), and to expand its programing.

With its commitment to Indigenous rights, racial justice, decolonization and eco-justice, the NAIS program emphasizes the priorities of New Jersey’s state-recognized Native American tribes – the Ramapough Lunaape, Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape and Powhatan Renape nations – which include environmental justice, political recognition, cultural heritage and language revitalization.

The NJCIJ will be a center for communication, fundraising, events and gatherings that highlight the unique questions facing Montclair’s Indigenous students and New Jersey’s tribal communities. It will coordinate the University’s work to change public narratives, increase Indigenous student enrollment and pursue justice-oriented action on issues affecting Native people in the state.

“The NJCIJ will give focus to the varied work Montclair faculty and students are doing in partnership with New Jersey’s tribal communities,” says Anthropology Department Chair Chris Matthews, a co-director of NAIS and co-Principal Investigator of the grant. “[It] will be the first and only university-based project in New Jersey that aims to transform public understanding of Native people and to do so in partnership with Indigenous communities across the…
