The Lenape Forest Garden at the Village of Fork Branch in Dover, Delaware is regeneration, reconnection, and decolonization in action. 

In the Lenape Forest Garden, we are learning how to remove invasive species and reintroduce native species that provide food, medicine, and materials for traditional lifeways, creating networks of reciprocal relationships, known to some as guilds or companion plantings. 

Last fall, John Heinz’s MobilizeGreen crew, the Appoquinimink High School Environmental Club and NPS Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance staff, and other volunteers joined us there for a work day. 

The day began with the Haudenausee tradition of Ohenton Karihwatehkwen, known in English as Greetings to the Natural World, Words Before All Other Words, or Thanks Giving Address, during which everyone present honored the inhabitants of Mother Earth as teachers and elder relatives.  

After a morning of work, the group settled down at the Sacred Story Circle, a space designed with Tribal Leaders to allow the stories of the 4 Directions to guide and rebalance our relationships.  Storytelling is usually reserved for the “Season of the Clacking Stones” when everyone in hibernation is striking stone against stone, making tools and baskets while waiting for the long nights and cold weather to pass.  That fall day, Chief White Otter Coker’s stories inspired the crew members to ask deeply thoughtful questions and commit themselves to planting native species everywhere they work.

Each plant guild around the Sacred Story Circle tells the stories of each direction.  White Flat Cedar greets us at the Eastern entrance, representing cleansing and new life; Evergreen Holly and Elderberry of the Northern guilds celebrate eternal life, wisdom, and healing. Designing the Lenape Forest Garden based on plants who grow together naturally helps us humans honor the families of plants who…

Ramapough receive 285-year-old deed from descendants of Sloat family

Sloat family descendants return land use deed to Ramapough on Saturday, June 4, 2022 at Ramapo College in Mahwah, NJ.

Marsha A. Stoltz, NorthJersey.com

MAHWAH — A 285-year-old deed granting land use to members of the Sloat family was returned by its descendants to the Ramapough tribe in a symbolic ceremony at Ramapo College on Saturday.

Chief Dwaine Perry supervised the transfer of the deed between seventh generations before an audience of Ramapough and Sloat family members.

“We are grateful to the Rev. Jack Zamboni and his family for restoring our faith in the goodness of the American people as we received this unprecedented blessing of the original deed,” Perry said.  

The deed was returned by Zamboni, a maternal descendant of the Sloat family who is an Episcopal priest living in Dunellen.  His son, Jonathan, transferred the deed to seventh generation Ramapough member D.J. Defreese.

“This return does not cure the atrocities of genocide, land theft and slavery that indigenous people of this land experienced, which can never be made right,” Zamboni said. “However, repair work can be done so that settler and indigenous nations may start to live freely together here and now.”

Drums and chants preceded a brief tobacco ceremony blessing the transfer. Members gathered briefly afterward for pictures…

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 who were trying to escape the tyranny of some of the past monarchs of Europe.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS — A black bear was spotted in a community much more accustomed to the occasional dolphin sighting, heading into Memorial Day weekend.

On Friday, the Atlantic Highlands Police Department shared several updates about “multiple black bear sightings in the area of Upper East Highland Avenue and Lenape Woods.”

Bear incidents are up dramatically across NJ

Both Lenape Woods and Mount Mitchill Park were closed for a stretch of time during the sightings, as a precaution.

The first notice was before noon, with another update two hours later and a third post around 3 p.m.

“Upon speaking with the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife they believe that the bear will move on from Atlantic Highlands soon,” police said, adding that the state would not respond to remove the bear unless “it gets into a fixed position, such as a tree or an enclosure.”

From January through late spring, there were at least 473 sightings and nuisance and damage reports involving bears across 17 counties, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.

Those did not include sightings and incidents handled by police departments without DEP assistance, such as in Atlantic Highlands.

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

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…
