'When we get together, it’s family from all the tribes' — Penn Treaty Park a place of peace for Indigenous Peoples Day

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Hundreds of people from across the United States and abroad are in the city to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day at a very significant location.

Penn Treaty Park, on the banks of the Delaware River in Fishtown, is where founder of the commonwealth William Penn signed a treaty of peace with the local Lenape tribe in 1683, according to legend. Now, it is known as a place of peace and plays host to an annual celebration of North and South American native cultures.

“The festival consists of shows and stories and teachings of native life and native history,” says Janis Stacy who is with IPD Philly and is one of the event’s organizers.

They welcome natives from Canada to Chile on this day, for the purpose of “countering the idea of Columbus — which came in and started a massive genocide against our people,” Stacy said.

“When we get together, it’s family from all the tribes, from all the nations. All the council fires come together, and we start sharing stories and such.”

Indigenous Peoples Day has been celebrated in this way in Philadelphia since 2017. Philadelphia replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day as an official city holiday in 2021.

Eugene Black Crow, a Lakota raised on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, was one of the many people who came to celebrate.

“They come and perform, they dance, they sell their wares. I, myself, do bead work and medicine pouches,” said Black Crow.

Black Crow, who is dedicated to preserving the Lakota language and culture, has attended the celebration since 2018.

“I just like sitting here enjoying the people you know. We have people from South America, Central America and North America. We’re all native Americans.”

Stacy, who is of Dakota and Cherokee…

Stockton Commemorates Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Galloway, N.J.  – Stockton University marked its fourth year celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a counter-holiday that centers on the history, culture and continued experiences of the Indigenous people who stewarded this land before it became recognized as the United States of America on Monday.

It also marks the culmination of two years of work by Ryann Casey ‘01, the exhibition coordinator for the Stockton Art Gallery, and her team, which gathered and organized the works of 25 local and international Indigenous artists for the “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” exhibition and its related celebrations and programming hosted by the School of Arts & Humanities

A closing reception for “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the Upper Floor of the Art Gallery from 6-8 p.m. 

“This exhibition highlights what I, as an alumna, consider to be core attributes of Stockton University, which are honoring land, identity and sustainability,” Casey said. “At the end of the day, I hope that this exhibit provides us with a foundation to learning more about the Indigenous experience.”

The daylong celebration began with a recognition of place and poem by Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto of the Nanticoke/Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation and welcome remarks by Stockton President Joe Bertolino.

Indigenous Peoples' Day at Stockton began with welcome remarks and a poem reading.(L-R): Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis of the Lenapehopking Reestablishment Project; Ian Marshall, dean of the School of Arts & Humanities; Ryann Casey, exhibition coordinator for the Stockton Art Gallery; Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto of the Nanticoke/Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; Mariana Smith, associate professor of Art; Terricita Sass, executive vice president and chief of staff for the Office of the President; and Joe Bertolino, president of Stockton University.

GIRLS SPEAK OUT

On the International Day of the Girl, United Nations officials, advocates, and young leaders gathered at a town hall event at UN Headquarters today (11 Oct), co-organized by the Permanent Missions of Canada, Peru, and Türkiye, the NGO Working Group on Girls, UNICEF, UN-Women, and UNFPA. This year’s theme, “Girls’ Vision for the Future,” underscored both the urgency of addressing challenges facing girls and the resilience of their voices calling for change.

“During this time, we would also like to acknowledge that the land administratively designed as New York City, where the headquarters of the United Nations reside, is the homeland of the Lenape tribe,” said Elena, a young participant, highlighting the historical injustices faced by the Indigenous people. Elena added, “we recognize Lenape’s close connection and right to stewardship and the Lenape girls who continue to fight for their rights and the rights of their land.”

The Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, emphasized the importance of girls’ leadership in driving societal change. The Deputy Secretary-General said, “on this International Day of the Girl, we come together to amplify girls’ voices and visions, celebrate their accomplishments, and commit to unlocking their potential.” Mohammed added, “women and girls are not waiting for change. They are the change. They are speaking out, stepping out, and shaping the world where they are in control of their destinies.”

Robert Keith Rae, President of the UN Economic and Social Council, urged the girls in attendance to continue advocating for themselves. “I am with you, and I am for you. And the important point to say is you also have to be for yourselves,” Rae remarked. He continued, “you have to take a stand. You have to challenge sexism and hatred and discrimination wherever and however you find it.”

The need for sustained…

Football Recap: St. Augustine Prep Comes Up Short

Suggested Video

There was early excitement for St. Augustine Prep after they claimed the first score on Friday, but it was Holy Spirit who ended up claiming the real prize. The St. Augustine Prep Hermits took a 14-10 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Holy Spirit Spartans. The Hermits were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Spartans apparently hadn’t forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in September of 2023.

Ryan Stoehr threw for 79 yards on seven of 14 attempts. Liam Flynn was his top target, picking up 69 receiving yards. On the ground, Julian Turney rushed for 94 yards.

St. Augustine Prep’s defeat dropped their record down to 4-2. As for Holy Spirit, the victory (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1.

St. Augustine Prep will take on Lenape at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The timing is sure in St. Augustine Prep’s favor as the squad sits on six straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Lenape has been banged up by three consecutive losses on the road. As for Holy Spirit, they and Delsea are set to duel on Friday. Holy Spirit’s defense has only allowed 11.8 points per game this season, so Delsea’s offense will have their work cut out for them.
