Native American tribes are still waiting for items from US museums

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.

Europe’s museums are overflowing with artefacts seized or looted from African, South American and Asian nations during colonial rule. 

The British Museum now has a dedicated page on its website to ‘contested objects’ like the Benin Bronzes or two large stone moai from Easter Island. 

Across the pond, the situation over the display of Native American artefacts is equally contentious. 

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.

Native American tribes are still waiting for items from US museums

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.

This action was taken 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 sceptical, 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…

Museums closed Native American exhibits 6 months ago. Tribes are still waiting to get items back

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.The doll, also called Nahneetis, is just one of some 1,800 items museum officials say they’re reviewing 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.The museum also plans to open a small exhibit in the fall incorporating Native American voices and explaining the history of the closed halls, why changes are being made and what the…

Delaware unveils findings on recent study to revitalize state’s arts and culture

However, the Art Alliance’s CREATE plan – which will officially be unveiled July 30 – adopts a broader approach by including for-profit arts organizations and individual artists, uncovering larger figures and showing greater resiliency in recovering from challenges.

“We learned through this study that, in 2021, Delaware’s creative economy supported 18,551 local jobs, which is about 4.1% of the state’s employment,” Krischling highlighted. “We also looked at general economic output and learned in 2020 that the sector added $2.2 billion to our economy and that largely we’ve recovered since pre-pandemic levels.”

As part of their study, the organization aimed to develop a map that serves as a central hub for art enthusiasts and those interested in art-related resources. They have released a map offering easy access to artist locations offering design and creative services, music recording and publishing, cultural and natural heritage, and more.

In addition to the map, the study offers 25 actionable recommendations to support the arts and culture sector. Some of these policy recommendations include creating pay guidelines for creatives, ensuring equitable funding and offering professional development and training.

“It includes developing a statewide cultural economy brand. Some of our other recommendations look at developing the state’s creative economy by establishing creative hubs in each county by updating permitting processes for public events,” Krischling said. “We’re also looking to provide support for the industry including creative economy and economic development conversations by creating some government position that supports the arts.”

Overall, DAA has two goals: supporting the arts sector and attracting tourists to the state.

“We want Delaware to import tourists, right, not to be an exporter of Delawareans who leave to go enjoy arts…

Planned new plaza and bike lanes for Market Street get boost from $2.7M in grants

Officials involved in an overhaul of Market Street in Old City say a new round of funding and other momentum has left them confident they’ll be able to complete construction of a new pedestrian plaza by 2026 — the nation’s 250th birthday.

The planned Tamanend Plaza would be located at bustling Second and Market Streets as part of the overhaul, which also includes a “road diet” to accommodate new bike lanes. The statue depicting Chief Tamanend now at Front and Market would be moved to the new plaza and serve as its centerpiece in honor of the Lenni-Lenape, the Indigenous inhabitants of Philadelphia.

At least one federal tribe had objected to the move. But Bill Marrazzo, chair of the nonprofit Independence Historical Trust, said Monday that he is hopeful the move will still happen.

“I’m feeling much more optimistic that in the future, we’ll have formal concurrence for the placement of the Chief Tamanend statue within the Tamanend Plaza site,” Marrazzo said. ”I’m really delighted with the encouragement and thoughtfulness that I’ve received from the leadership of the Lenni-Lenape tribe out in Oklahoma.”

The Tamanend Square plan is part of a larger project known as Vision2026, which calls for the transformation of Market Street in Old City by 2026, the nation’s Semiquincentennial. Independence Historical Trust, Independence National Historical Park, Old City District, and the city are all involved in the project.

Plans start at Fifth and Market Streets heading east and includereducing motor vehicle lanes and installinga bike lane in each direction.

Vision2026, which encompasses the central part of Old City, includes the planned Tamanend Plaza to be situated near Christ Church and the Market-Frankford subway station….

Oatman discussed what the awards mean to the cannabis space and how new technology is driving the industry forward in a recent interview with Cannabis & Tech Today.

Cannabis & Tech Today: Cannabis has innovated a ton and continues to do so. What do you consider innovative in today’s cannabis space?

Mary Jane Oatman: I think the innovative work in the cannabis space today revolves around personal use devices and post-COVID innovations for contactless smoking. These advancements have really improved the vibe of consumption lounges, making them very exciting.

C&T: What kind of impact should tech have on cannabis today and into the future?

MJO: Tech should play a significant role in conservation as we prepare for federal descheduling or legalization. Cannabis tech is critical for protecting Mother Earth by addressing the environmental impacts of bad cannabis practices.

Greater perspectives | UDaily

Holly Golder, supervisor of social studies in the Red Clay School District, explained that Delaware’s broad standards allow for flexibility and creativity in school curriculum, but sometimes also result in very Euro-centric content.

“We saw that there were pieces missing in the story,” Joyce said. “And teachers wanted to know more about it.”

“This grant ensures that we have different stories and histories integrated into the curriculum,” added Golder, who acts as the social studies specialist for ILD. 

Primary sources and community members

One goal of the grant is to encourage teachers to utilize the Library of Congress’ vast collection of primary sources. Golder said it can be daunting to search through millions of documents, and part of what she does for each workshop is demonstrate effective search methods, as well as highlighting specific resources for each topic.

 “It is like the ‘people’s library,’” she said. “This is where we have the resources of our country.” 

In developing the workshop structure, Joyce knew he also wanted to include modern perspectives and contemporary sources. Every workshop features community partners like Chief Dennis Coker of the Lenape Tribe of Delaware, members of the Nanticoke Indian Association, the Hispanic American Association of Delaware’s Ballet Folklorico Mexico Lindo and Eastern Cherokee storyteller Ragghi Rain, in addition to University historians and anthropologists. 

“The speakers are extraordinary. They bring such relevance and tremendous perspective,” said Jackie Wager, multilingual teacher and coordinator of the bilingual family literacy program at Milton Elementary School, who has attended all three years of ILD. 

“It’s not a predominantly white community speaking about others. It’s the community being able to represent themselves,” added Matamoros.

Classroom impact

One of Matamoros’ favorite speakers came to the January workshop on “Mexico and Central America in the 20th Century.” Chef Cristina Martinez of South Philly Barbacoa…

Residents fight ‘greedy’ Poconos warehouse expansion

College student Marian Bangurah is scared for her niece and nephew.

Her parents came from West Africa to Monroe County for its natural beauty. She said it reminded them of home. But she fears environmental degradation will steal that beauty from her niece and nephew. The forests in her family’s backyard in Tunkhannock Township are being clear cut for warehouses and truck terminals.

“And now that sanctity of this area is under threat. Our quality of life is under threat,” Bangurah said. “And the fact that we have to fight to preserve clean water, [private] wells and even the possible quality of our food is a ridiculous reality that we are now subjected to.”

Developer David Moyer is deforesting 100 acres in Blakeslee to build two warehouses, a truck stop, restaurants, stores and a pharmacy. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) held its second public hearing on June 20 to determine whether to issue Moyer a stormwater permit for the project. Without that permit, Moyer cannot start construction.
