Nanticoke Tribe overcomes fundraising woes, gears up for annual powwow

Why Should Delaware Care? 
While the Sussex County-based Nanticoke Indian Tribe faced fundraising setbacks this past month, the Tribe has bounced back and appears to be flourishing ahead of its annual powwow and new cultural center renovations. This momentum for the Delaware tribe stands out amid federal funding cuts for tribal organizations. 

Preparations for the upcoming Nanticoke Indian Tribe powwow – an annual event celebrating the tribe’s culture and traditions that draws more than 10,000 attendees – were not all smooth sailing for the tribe. Just three weeks out from the event, scheduled for Sept. 6 and 7, the Sussex County-based tribe was facing a $30,000 funding shortage. 

Within 10 days of launching a GoFundMe campaign to close that gap, however, more than 130 community members came together to donate the additional money the group needed to fully carry out the annual event. 

Make sense of the decisions shaping Delaware.

Now, between the flurry of community financial support and the tribe breaking ground on a new community center last week, Nanticoke Assistant Chief Farrah Norwood-Stigall said members of the tribe are feeling the forward momentum heading into their 47th annual powwow. 

“We’re totally excited,” Norwood-Stigall said. “I like to say the powwow is pretty much a living classroom for people.”

Nanticoke powwow history

Slated to be held at Hudson Fields in Milton on Sept. 6-7, the two-day powwow will feature dancing, drum circles, church services, and an all-around effort to educate people about Native American culture, Norwood-Stigall said.

The Nanticoke tribe has its roots…

Police said William Schwager Jr. struck the victim after an argument and showed no concern as she lay injured

A Bucks County man was jailed on felony charges after allegedly striking a woman with his pickup truck in Lenape Park last week and failing to help her as she lay injured on the ground.

According to Perkasie Borough Police, William Schwager Jr., 76, who police said is transient around the borough with no fixed address, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault, misdemeanor assault, and misdemeanor recklessly endangering another person. 

He is currenlty jailed on 10% of $350,000 cash bail.

Incident at Lenape Park

Police were dispatched to the 500 block of Constitution Avenue around 8:25 p.m. Aug. 17, 2025 for a report of a woman screaming for help. Officers found the victim lying face down near the passenger-side rear tire of a black 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, driven by Schwager, according to investigators. 

Police said Schwager was standing nearby and urinating at the time of their arrival.

The victim had visible injuries, including a bloody mouth and abrasions consistent with tire marks, police said. She told officers she had argued with Schwager moments before the incident. 

After exiting the vehicle and moving toward the passenger-side rear door, Schwager allegedly put the truck in reverse, striking Roberts and knocking her to the ground before continuing to back up. Police said the front passenger-side tire then ran over her body.

Police said the victim was taken to Grand View Hospital with an apparent broken pelvis, multiple abrasions, and contusions.

Investigation and witness account

Schwager allegedly admitted during interviews that he had argued with the victim and “got angry,” acknowledging that his vehicle struck her as he…

Plateau Travel Plaza To Expand, Renovate

Plateau Travel Plaza_REVG

MADRAS, OR – Plateau Travel Plaza, owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and Warm Springs Casino Enterprises (WSCE), has begun expansion and renovation project.

The project will feature an updated and significantly expanded gaming room – doubling the size of the current slot machine area – with new state-of-the-art machines. All slot play at Plateau Travel Plaza will remain part of Indian Head Casino’s player rewards program, allowing guests to earn and redeem rewards seamlessly between both properties.

Guests can also look forward to new fresh food options for both grab-and-go and sit-down dining, as well as upgrades to the Plaza’s store, including a brand-new coffee station, ice cream offerings, and double the current beverage selection.

“Our guests have been telling us what they want, and we’ve been listening,” said Shawn McDaniel, GM of Plateau Travel Plaza and Indian Head Casino. “This expansion is about delivering on those requests – more gaming, more dining, and more convenience – all in a space that reflects the pride and hospitality of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. We’re excited to bring these upgrades to life while still providing the same great service our customers count on every day.”

Construction began August 25, 2025. While work is underway, Plateau Travel Plaza will keep fuel lanes open, along with all trucker amenities including showers, laundry, and fuel discounts.

The expansion represents a major investment in the community and is expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction and 20 more permanent positions, in addition to those at Plateau Travel Plaza. The project is being led by Kirby Construction Company and KMB Architects.

Philly reacts after Indigenous Peoples Day flips back to Columbus Day

For more than a century, Columbus Day was a chance for Italian Americans to celebrate their heritage. In 2021, responding to a wave of protests about the murder of George Floyd and criticism that the Italian explorer had caused immeasurable harm to the Western Hemisphere as a murderous colonizer, Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order that changed the state holiday to Indigenous Peoples Day.

Last month, a Pennsylvania court ruled that Kenney, as a city mayor, did not have the authority to delete or change a state holiday.

So Oct. 13 of this year will be celebrated, officially, again, as Columbus Day.

All of the back and forth raises the question: Can we celebrate indigenous people AND Italian Americans without one celebration displacing or doing away with the other?

A decision about authority

The decision by seven Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court judges was unanimous,  and narrow. They ruled that Kenney violated the separation of powers, and that he had no standing to change a decision by the state legislature. It did not address the arguments about discrimination and equal protection — which were major points for the plaintiffs.

The Conference of Presidents of Major Italian Organizations, Councilmember Mark Squilla and others alleged the order discriminated against Italian Americans and violated their equal protection rights, as well as exceeding Kenney’s legal authority by unilaterally changing a state holiday.

A step back, and common ground

It’s probably worth taking a step back here to put some context around what’s a very heated debate about identity and power in Philly.

Columbus Day came to be in 1892, on the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage. It followed the lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans, and was proclaimed as a one-time holiday by President Bejamin Harrison. It caught on, and has been celebrated…

United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow Returns to Brooklyn

The Pow Wow will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14 at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park. 

The second United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14 at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park. 

Join the nonprofit Prospect Park Alliance, Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective, which brings together Lunáapeew/Lenape communities who have been displaced across Turtle Island (North America) and American Indian Community House, which promotes the well-being and visibility of the American Indian community, for a two-day public event that includes family friendly fun, culture, art and learning with Indigenous dancers, drummers, and artisan craft and food vendors.

Pow Wows are gatherings where Lenape/Lunáapeew and neighboring Indigenous nations socialize and celebrate life. Prospect Park hosted formal Pow Wows from 1916 to 1972. Reviving this tradition, the Lenape/Lunáapeew will celebrate their culture in their homelands and offers Brooklynites of all backgrounds the chance to enjoy the drumming, dancing, singing, art, crafts and foods of the original stewards of this land. 

Lunáapeew/Lenape means human beings or, more specifically, “the ones who came from thought,” and is the name of the indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands encompassed what is today Brooklyn and the surrounding region. Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing, “the land of the Lunáapeew,” holds the stories of a civilization rich with a deep understanding of the delicate balance and mutual relationships necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy world.

The Pow Wow is part of the ReImagine Lefferts initiative, which is transforming the Lefferts Historic House museum to explore the lives, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon, and Africans who were enslaved by the Lefferts family.

Currently on view at Lefferts is Eelunaapéewi Ehaptoonáakanal: Voices of Lunáapeew/Lenape, an…
