On Tuesday evening, Hereditary Chief of the Delaware Nation Lenni Lenape People Daniel Strongwalker Thomas hosted a discussion regarding corporations posing as indigenous nations, or “CPAIN.” According to Thomas, CPAIN is a national phenomenon where corporations will claim to be a representative of Indigenous peoples while having no ties to the community.

The talk was one of three events sponsored by Lafayette’s Office of Intercultural Development to celebrate Indigenous People’s Month. In particular, the Office celebrates the Lenape Tribes of the Delaware Nation and hopes to highlight the challenges that they face. 

Lenape, which means “the original people,” refers to Indigenous Americans Tribe belonging to the Delaware Nation. According to the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, their historical territory included present-day Delaware, New Jersey, parts of southern New York and parts of Eastern Pennsylvania—including the land on which Lafayette College is located. The Lenape people are a part of the Delaware Nation Tribe, one of three federally recognized American Indian tribes of Delaware Indians. 

Thomas said that corporations claim to represent the Lenape, among other Indigenous peoples, for a few primary reasons. First, it may be a mechanism to cope with the persecution they may have faced themselves. Native Americans are not the only group to face massive persecution in the United States, and those individuals may see Indigenous nations as a way to reclaim their identity. 

Second, Thomas points to the financial gains CPAIN can take advantage of, as federally recognized Indigenous Nations are eligible for grants from the United States Government. However, Thomas points to instances where these examples of “race shifting” extend beyond the phenomenon of CPAIN.

Rachel Dozier, the former President of the NAACP, for example, was exposed for lying about her racial background. According to Thomas, “race shifting is not new in America,…

Land acknowledgments are becoming customary at educational gatherings. As the participants introduce themselves they acknowledge the tribal people who once occupied the lands where they now live. The first time I encountered this practice I was just relieved that I could answer: The land where I live was home to the Lenape, Native Americans whose lands once ranged from present-day Massachusetts to the state of Delaware. But I felt pretty shallow doing it. I empathized with the spirit of the exercise, but in practice, it felt perfunctory and disconnected.

Then this past summer I participated in a seminar organized by PUSH Buffalo, to learn about grassroots strategies for revitalizing neighborhoods and reclaiming, renovating and repurposing older structures to create healthy housing and vibrant public spaces.

This time, the land acknowledgment introduced a presentation by three local historians who delivered a vivid history lesson, covering the colonial-era displacement of Native Americans to the creation of the racially and ethnically segregated city. From the siting of polluting industries in poor neighborhoods to the use of eminent domain to take land for projects that benefited private enterprises rather than the public good. From the impacts of redlining—the systematic denial of financing to minority home buyers—to gentrification efforts that have priced moderate-income residents out of their neighborhoods.

In this context, the tribal land acknowledgment was necessary to a broader understanding of the…

Staff reports  |  Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise

The Bartlesville Area History Museum will begin its latest Third Thursday series from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 18, which provides evenings hours at the museum on the third Thursday of each month.

“Life gets busy during the week,” says Museum Coordinator Delaney Williams, “It’s hard for some people to find time during the day to visit the Museum. We wanted to provide time for people who cannot make it during the day to have a chance to check out the history that makes Bartlesville so interesting.”

There will be guided tours of the main gallery, beginning at 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Guests are also welcome to explore the museum at their own pace.

Williams said the evening will be an excellent time to check out the special exhibit “Delaware: The Faces of the Lenape” before it ends on Nov. 26. The Nelson Carr One-Room Schoolhouse will also be open for visitors to explore and light refreshments will be served.  

“This is something we hope to continue doing,” said Williams. “We are planning another Third Thursday event with a Christmas theme on December 17th, if you aren’t able to make this one.”

For more information, you can contact the Bartlesville Area History Museum at (918) 338-4290 or history@cityofbartlesville.org. The Museum is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and is located on the 5th floor of City Hall at 401 S. Johnstone Ave.

The calming rhythm of a drumming circle. Tribal stories as relevant today as the first time they were told. An emotional blessing in the Lenape-Unami dialect. The cleansing scent of burning sage. A dance of friendship and community.

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania visited Temple University Ambler and the Ambler Arboretum to help the campus and the surrounding community heal and reconnect with the land that has been irrevocably scarred by an EF2-level tornado that tore through the region on Sept. 1.

“We are all related to everyone and everything around us. We come together to help the Earth heal—we thank the Earth, the four seasons and all living things,” said Chief of Ceremonies and Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania Tribal Council Member Chuck Gentlemoon DeMund to a gathering of more than 100 Temple students, faculty, staff, community members and friends of the campus and arboretum. “Sitting here, standing here in this place, you all have free will but something brought you here. Today, we are all part of the Creator’s dream.”

There were so many lessons left in those trees while they stood, but we can learn new lessons from them, in their new state.

— Ambler Arboretum Director Kathy Salisbury

 

According to DeMund and Adam Waterbear DePaul, CLA ’08, tribal council member and storykeeper of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the Lenape Nation has strong connections to Temple University, the Ambler Campus in particular.

“When [Arboretum Director] Kathy Salisbury reached out after the tornado to see if there was something that we could do to help the campus and community heal, we, of course, wanted to do whatever we could,” he said. “This is an important place for us—we are grateful to the many people on this campus who are such conscientious stewards of…
