The Sand Hill Lenape Indians have a rich history of over 10,000 years

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians made tremendous contributions to the development of the state of New Jersey and the U.S States. An ex-mayor of Neptune Township, New Jersey, said, “It is a shame what some people in the State have done to the Sand Hill Lenape Indians.” Then he went on to say, “the Sand Hill Lenape Indians and the Reevey family are the people who made the state of New Jersey possible.”

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians were the original group of Native American families that settled in the lands of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan today over 10,000 years ago. These people were skilled farmers, builders, engineers, artists, musicians, hunters, athletes, emergency technicians, community leaders, U.S. soldiers, U.S. senators, medics, inventors, guardians, makers, teachers, etc. They also helped build cities in New Jersey, the Boardwalks, housing, and many other architectural structures in N.J. According to historic evidence, the Sand Hill Lenape Indians (“THE INDIANS OF LENAPEHOKING”) are actually some of the last living descendants of the sacred ancient Mayan mound building, “world teacher” people. In the 1600s the Sand Hill Lenape Indians opened their lands to European settlers trying to escape the tyranny of the “then” Europe monarchs.

The Sand Hill Lenape tribal nation community that once had millions of members, is now down to a few thousand members. Their population reduction resulted from genocide events, land theft, “the little ice age“, broken treaties, racial misclassification, religious indoctrination, man-made pollution disasters and laws like the Indian Removal Act that led to the displacement of millions of Native Americans.

Today, the Sand Hill Lenape’s sacred burial grounds have turned into an uninhabitable landfill in…

Video: United Way seeking volunteers for Bucks Knocks Out Hunger

Bucks Knocks Out Hunger returns for its 10th year, with an in-person food packaging event at the Neshaminy Mall on June 17, 2022.

Provided by United Way of Bucks County, Bucks County Courier Times

What impressed me on arrival from Florida in the 1970s was discovering William Penn once lived in Falls Township. In boyhood, I only knew Willie as the guy on the Quaker Oats container in Mom’s kitchen. But here I was suddenly covering Falls for the Bucks County Courier Times newspaper as a rookie news reporter.

My beat included Pennsbury Manor, the reconstructed estate of William who happened to found Pennsylvania in 1682. What was curious to me was his unusual bond with the Lenni Lenape Native American tribe. It governed the Delaware River estuary for a millennia, maybe as far back as when mastodons walked the earth.

Though English King Charlie II deeded Pennsylvania to William, he decided to negotiate with the Indians for a fair purchase. The natives respected Penn and were frequently feted at his Manor. However, the Lenape were not treated fairly by Penn’s sons after his death. They divested the Lenape of…

Nikki Williams and Maya Knasiak combined for a two-hit shutout while Taylor Bell drove in the game’s only run in extra innings as Lenape, No. 19 in the NJ.com Top 20, earned a 1-0, eight-inning victory over host Shawnee Wednesday afternoon.

Williams and Knasiak combined to allow just two hits and one walk while striking out 14 batters. Knasiak earned the win despite Williams pitching six innings and striking out nine batters.

Lenape (17-2) tallied eight hits throughout the game but didn’t get on the scoreboard until the top of the eighth inning thanks to Bell’s RBI single that proved to be the lone run of the day for either team.

Bell also tallied a double on the day while Vanessa Meyers went 3-for-4 with a trio of singles. Leah Taylor added a double as well.

Nella Sciarra and Lauren Petitt each recorded a single for Shawnee (11-9) as Alexandra Pley and Sophia Waterman both found success in the circle. Waterman was tagged with the loss despite allowing six hits and an unearned run while Pley struck out three batters in three innings of work.
