William Penn and the Lenape: The Peace Treaty That Shaped Pennsylvania’s Identity

I must let you know that I am trying hard to embrace all the pumpkin spice products I have shied away from in the past. The jury is still out. And I am not happy with the bakery pumpkin roll I bought recently that had buttercream instead of my cream cheese filling. What is the world coming to? I can’t be the only person out there who associates a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling.

Moving along, I have had a curiosity about William Penn’s early interactions with Native Americans, more specifically the Lenape (Delaware) tribe, since these occurred within a few decades of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Fiber Traditions Talk This Saturday at 10 am And Updates about Other Exhibit Activities

ARKVILLE — The final presentation associated with Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit, “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions“ will take place on Saturday, November 22, at 10 am in the auditorium at the Catskill Watershed Corporation, 669 County Route 38, Arkville. 

Justin Wexler, noted scholar of Lenape history and traditions, will present an illustrated talk about the cultures of Native peoples in the North East, including their fiber traditions. After the talk, the audience will be invited to visit the exhibit, just up the road in the Erpf Gallery of the Catskill Center, 43355 State Highway 28, Arkville (the house with the bronze cow on the yard!).

Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Exhibit on View 10 More Days

Counting the special viewing on Saturday after Justin Wexler’s talk, the exhibit of intriguing Lenape early fiber techniques  as practiced by Lenape artists, and stunning contemporary art works by Mohawk artists, in beaded-embroidery and fingerwoven sashes, will remain open Wednesdays through Sundays 10 am – 4 pm at the Erpf Gallery. As an  exception, the exhibit will be closed for Thanksgiving Day and the day after, re-opening for Saturday and Sunday of that weekend. Final closing of the exhibit is on Sunday, December 7, with a reception.

Come to the Closing Exhibit Reception Sunday, Dec. 7, 1 pm–4 pm 

Catskills Folk Connection always celebrates the successful conclusion of its exhibits, this time with a festive gathering of all who want one last chance to see the exhibit of Lenape and Mohawk art works and to share their interest with others.

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum North American gallery

In partnership with eight Indigenous consulting curators, the Penn Museum will unveil its new Native North America Gallery with a public opening celebration on Saturday, November 22. A continuation of the museum’s work with Native specialists for more than a century, it will explore the political, religious, linguistic, and artistic self-determination of Native peoples across the United States who are still thriving—despite a historic agenda to erase Indigenous identity, culture, and language. These Native-led stories will offer nuance and complexity in telling the nation’s story as it approaches its 250th year. Uplifting cultural continuity, resilience, and creativity, the Native North America Gallery will reframe Native American histories.

Through its recognition of Indigenous deep histories, including upheaval amid centuries of betrayals, the exhibition will simultaneously draw attention to today’s Indigenous ideas, technologies, and art—alongside the ongoing challenges Native peoples still face.

Through more than 250 archaeological, historic, and contemporary items from the Penn Museum’s North American collections, the 2,000 sq. ft. multisensory gallery’s design will foster an immersive visitor experience—from its first-person videos, interactive stations, color palette and motifs to including Native languages throughout the interpretive text. Following best practices in the care and conservation of the Native works, periodic rotations of the items on display will offer Museum guests a fresh look.

The oldest items on view inside the Native North America Gallery will be the most ancient in the Penn Museum’s collections—projectile points dating back to 9500 BCE. Recovered during a 1936 expedition near Clovis, New Mexico, they were carefully shaped into spear points for hunting. The newest will be “Parceled Space #2,” a woven piece specifically commissioned from Cherokee artist Brenda Mallory, whose mixed media sculptural works imply tenuous…

Author Alan Fitzpatrick to share story of Lenape leader Bemino at Dover Library

Historian discusses his book ‘Vengeance is Mine: The Untold Story of Bemino, Known as Killbuck’ Nov. 17, exploring Native American history in the Ohio Valley

Alan Fitzpatrick Submitted

Author and historian Alan Fitzpatrick will speak about his 2024 nonfiction history book “Vengeance is Mine: The Untold Story of Bemino, Known as Killbuck” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the Dover Public Library, 525 N. Walnut St.

The book tells the story of Bemino, a Lenape war captain and medicine man who fought during the conflict between Native Americans and colonists in the late 1700s. Set in the South Potomac Valley, now part of West Virginia, the story highlights Bemino’s command of English, which gave him an advantage over his colonial adversaries during the French and Indian War. His ability to communicate and strategize allowed him to plan ruses and ambushes that influenced the war’s outcome. After the war, Bemino returned to his father, Netawattwees, in what is now Newcomerstown. A book signing will follow the program.

Born and raised in Canada, Fitzpatrick has lived in West Virginia since 1973. A Kent State University graduate, he worked at the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville before moving to the Wheeling area, where he ran a retail carpet business for 33 years. Fascinated by early frontier history of the Upper Ohio Valley, Fitzpatrick helped found “Fort Henry Days” in 1997, a living-history reenactment of the 1782 final battle of the American Revolution held each Labor Day weekend at Oglebay Park in Wheeling.

His other nonfiction works include “Wilderness War on the Ohio,” “In Their Own Words,” “The Place of the Skull,” “The White Indians,” “Captives and Kin in the Ohio Country,” “The Untold Story of Isaac Zane,” “Patriot Soldier, Loyalist Spy” and “Captured by the Mingo – Two Faces.”

SPEAKER ON NOVEMBER 22 ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY AND FIBER TRADITIONS

ARKVILLE — Justin Wexler, noted scholar of Lenape history and culture, will give an illustrated talk as the last of Catskills Folk Connection’s activities associated with its exhibit “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions.” On Saturday, November 22 at 10:00am (note time change), he will speak at the auditorium of the Catskill Watershed Corporation, 669 Co. Hwy 38, Arkville NY 12406, about the broader culture and history of pre-colonial Native Americans in the Northeast, including Lenape and Haudenosaunee fiber traditions. Not a Native American himself, Mr. Wexler has immersed himself in the study of the ecology of the forest that surrounds his Cairo home and the lifeways of its original inhabitants.  He has gained a BA in History and Anthropology from Marlboro College, and both a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching and a Professional Certificate in Environmental Policy from Bard College. He is well-known as a speaker in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, on land and on the water.  He and his wife, Anna Plattner, offer programs in Native American history, ethnoecology, forest farming and eco-camping through their educational organization Wild Hudson Valley, with a mission to “inspire learning and build connection through shared experiences in nature.”

“Justin has been invaluable in creating Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit of Mohawk and Lenape fiber arts, with his deep knowledge not only of history but also botany and ecology that represents the context of these Native American nations’ fiber traditions,” says Catskills Folk Connection’s Executive Director, Ginny Scheer. The exhibit can be seen in the Erpf gallery of the Catskill Center, 43355 State Highway 28, Arkville NY  12406, Wednesdays through Sundays, 10 am to 4 pm.
