Dept. of Justice awards more than $6.2 million in grants to Tribal governments in the Northern District of Oklahoma

TULSA, Okla. — U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson announced the award of more than $6.2 million in Department of Justice grants to help tribal governments within the Northern District of Oklahoma on Wednesday. 

The grants were awarded by the Department’s Office of Justice Programs. 

“This funding allows Tribal Governments with the Northern District of Oklahoma to build, support, and advance the citizens within their tribe,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “In return, Tribal organizations, crisis centers, and law enforcement agencies benefit from these investments and make our communities safer.” 

The Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program assists Tribal governments and authorized designees of Tribal governments to decrease the incidence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and stalking in Tribal communities; strengthen the capacity if Tribes to exercise their sovereign authority to respond to these violent crimes; and ensure that perpetrators of these violent crimes are held accountable for their criminal behavior. 

The Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma received $1,169,642; the Eastern Shawnee Tribe received $793,463; the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma received $792,148; the Quapaw Nation received $600,000; and the Delaware Tribe of Indians received $282,632.

The 2024 Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Tribal Victim Services Program is for implementing services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the community and reflect tribal community values and traditions.

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe, the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, and the Osage Nation each received $441,989; the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma received $394,653; the Seneca Cayuga Tribe Oklahoma received $254,413; and the Shawnee Tribe received $229,973.

The awards announced are part of the regular end-of-fiscal year cycle. 

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) provides federal leadership, grants, training, technical assistance, and other resources to improve the nation’s ability to prevent and reduce crime.

The Ohio Country Episode 11: Pretendians

Ohio is home to relatively few citizens of federally recognized tribes, especially citizens from the nations removed from the state in the 19th century, like the Shawnee, Miami, and Wyandotte.

That absence has led to dozens of so-called “remnant tribes” popping up in the state whose members claim to have American Indian ancestry.

Some Indigenous people and academics have called the people in these unrecognized groups “pretendians.” While to some it may seem innocuous, pretendians in Ohio have, based on their unverified or non-existent identity, made money, accessed ancestral funerary objects and remains, and spread false and harmful information about American Indian people.

In this episode, we define tribal citizenship, look at some of the damage done by pretendians in Ohio, and highlight the work of the citizens of federally recognized tribes correcting those situations.

To learn more about the 2021 Summer Solstice at Serpent Mound (the first year the site was managed by the Ohio History Connection), read this report from Indian Country Today’s Mary Annette Pember.

Chief Ben Barnes of The Shawnee Tribe and Ohio History Connection Archaeology Curator Dr. Brad Lepper also co-published an article about the history of Serpent Mound in 2021.

Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association expands its global reach

The Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA) is set to expand its global presence by participating in the inaugural Andean Hemp & Cannabis Trade Forum in Peru. Organized by the Global Cannabis Network Collective (GCNC) and MCd by Benzinga Cannabis managing director Javier Hasse, this event will explore the evolving legal framework of cannabis in South America and opportunities for launching hemp and medical cannabis brands in the region.

ICIA’s leadership, including founder Rob Pero and executive director Mary Jane Oatman, will join these important discussions.

Expanding International Presence

This marks another milestone in ICIA’s growing international activities. Earlier this year, Pero spoke at the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC) in Berlin. Pero, a cannabis entrepreneur and member of the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, participated in a panel discussing emerging cannabis markets.

Mary Jane Oatman is an enrolled member of the Nez Perce Tribe and a descendant of the Delaware Tribe.

Being at the forefront of her organization, she will also be a part of another international event, representing ICIA at the We Mean Business Summit in San Juan, Puerto Rico next September. In this manner, she will bring her extensive experience in cannabis advocacy and ethical background to an international audience.

“As we gather in Peru and Puerto Rico, let’s ask ourselves how Indigenous people everywhere can share knowledge and work within the growing cannabis industry to make positive change and bring the benefits of the cannabis industry home to all of our communities,” said Pero in a press release shared with Benzinga Cannabis.

Delaware tribe: Wolfe Neck contents should remain secure for now

LEWES — While he remains hopeful that the archaeological contents of the Wolfe Neck Site will be made public, Chief Brad KillsCrow of the Delaware Tribe of Indians said he favors secrecy and security right now, while negotiations with government agencies continue.

Since 1978, the site — currently closed to visitors  but adjacent to Cape Henlopen State Park — has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Plus, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control confirms that it contains “Native American and post-contact historic period” archaeological areas. It also includes a Sussex County spray irrigation system.

Sussex County leases the land from DNREC, which has accepted Federal Highway Administration funding toward a trail project there.

This makes the administration the lead federal agency on the project, meaning it is tasked to provide “stewardship and oversight,” according to Nancy Singer, an FHA spokesperson.

The process it is stewarding is a review of the U.S. Antiquities Act, which requires that impacts to archaeological sites be considered in federal projects.

Ms. Singer confirmed that this proposal is still in the initial design phase, one portion of which is completing ongoing studies of the area, It also means that the administration is responsible for conducting negotiations with the tribes, talks that cannot be delegated to state or local agencies, she said.

“While there are currently no tribal lands in Delaware, the Federal Highway Administration consults with two tribes that have ancestral ties to the area: the Delaware Nation and the Delaware Tribe of Indians,” headquartered in Oklahoma, Ms. Singer said.

Both she and Chief KillsCrow added that the agency and his tribe have been in regular contact and that negotiations continue.

The chief said his primary goal is protection of the location and that he supports efforts to evaluate its…

Smithsonian Design Triennial names participants to create 25 installations related to the concept of home

This fall, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum will exhibit Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial. The museum has commissioned 25 site-specific installations examining “design’s role in shaping the physical and emotional realities of home across the U.S.,” as stated in a press release. The multi-floor exhibition will be on view at the Andrew and Louise Carnegie Mansion from November 2, 2024 through Summer 2025. It will be the seventh iteration of the museum’s Design Triennial series, which began in 2000, and is in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

“All of [the installations] gesture towards a greater understanding of how we are living in this nation and how design plays an active role in this shared experience,” Maria Nicanor, director of Cooper Hewitt, said in a statement. 

The museum previously announced the three curators of the upcoming Smithsonian Design Triennial: Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, curator of contemporary design and Hintz Secretarial Scholar at Cooper Hewitt; Christina L. De León, associate curator of Latino design at Cooper Hewitt; and Michelle Joan Wilkinson, curator of architecture and design at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Johnston Marklee will oversee the exhibition design.

Each floor at the Andrew and Louise Carnegie Mansion will be dedicated to a specific theme. Going Home presents the diverse ways that domestic spaces impact people’s “experiences, behaviors, and values,” while Seeking Home explores the concept of home through the “lenses of cultural heritage, the human body, imagined landscapes, and refuge.” The final theme, Building Home, pushes beyond the single-family construction model to consider new ways of conceptualizing and designing the home, such as cooperative living, community space, land stewardship, decolonial practices, and historic preservation.

Selected participants include Leong Leong, architecture studio and design consultancy founded…

With museum exhibits closed, tribes await return of artifacts

NEW YORK — Tucked within the expansive Native American halls of the American Museum of Natural History is a diminutive wooden doll that holds a sacred place among the tribes whose territories once included Manhattan.

For more than six months now, the ceremonial Ohtas, or Doll Being, has been hidden from view after the museum and others nationally took dramatic steps to board up or paper over exhibits in response to new federal rules requiring institutions to return sacred or culturally significant items to tribes — or at least to obtain consent to display or study them.

Museum officials are reviewing more than 1,800 items as they work to comply with the requirements while also eyeing a broader overhaul of the more than half-century-old exhibits.

‘);]]>

But some tribal leaders remain skeptical, saying museums have not acted swiftly enough. The new rules, after all, were prompted by years of complaints from tribes that hundreds of thousands of items that should have been returned under the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 still remain in museum custody.

“If things move slowly, then address that,” said Joe Baker, a Manhattan resident and member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, descendants of the Lenape peoples European traders encountered more than 400 years ago. “The collections, they’re part of our story, part of our family. We need them home. We need them close.”

Sean Decatur, the New York museum’s president, promised tribes will hear from officials soon. He said staff these past few months have been reexamining the displayed objects in order to begin contacting tribal communities.

Museum officials envision a total…
