No Comments on Inside the classroom: Land Acts course combines practical and spiritual sides of land use

With Native American creation stories and manual farm work, students gain appreciation of land’s agency while growing indigenous crops for Delaware Nation

Video by Olivia Giralico

Inside the classroom is a new series offering a glimpse into classes at Lafayette, the talented professors who teach them, and how they impact and define a student’s experience.

By Bryan Hay

Gathered in the greenhouse at LaFarm, students in Prof. Kyle Keeler’s Land Acts (EVST 370) course silently huddle together before large stainless steel bowls brimming with delicate dried seed pods — Clemson spineless okra, wild bergamot, coneflower, and purple Kingsessing bean, a Lenape bean used for stews and bread.

Owen Taylor, a founder of Truelove Seeds, a Philadelphia-based farm-based heritage seed company, advises them on the gentlest of techniques to avoid damaging the seeds as the crunchy okra pods fell apart, revealing their peppercorn- like seeds, reminding everyone about how native people view food sources as more than a source of sustenance.

“Seed-keeping is a common human experience started 10,000 years ago,” he says, noting that the manual, meditative act of seed keeping creates a cultural and spiritual bond between humans and their food sources. When you handle seeds with reverence, it transcends their role as a food source and into something profoundly spiritual.

“Seeds tell stories,” Taylor says.

Shuttling between LaFarm and their classroom at Rockwell Integrated Sciences Center this spring, Keeler, assistant professor of environmental science and environmental studies, and his 14 students explored the relationship between land and climate change, with an emphasis on the active role of land in indigenous creation stories and its influence on culture and community.

With interests in native and indigenous studies and environmental humanities, Keeler had been working on developing and delivering this course for about four…

Lenape Valley Launches 988 Suicide And Crisis Lifeline in Bucks Co.

No Comments on Lenape Valley Launches 988 Suicide And Crisis Lifeline in Bucks Co.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — When Bucks County residents call 988 for mental health or substance use assistance, the voice on the other end of the line now will belong to trained professionals from Lenape Valley Foundation.

This month, Lenape Valley Foundation began operating the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in Bucks County. The nonprofit has hired eight crisis hotline specialists to staff the call center, which is based out of the organization’s crisis residential center, The Lodge, in Bristol.

“In the same way that 911 connects callers to physical health emergency services, 988 simplifies access to behavioral health emergency services,” said Dave Herold, chief executive officer of Lenape Valley Foundation. “This move will ensure that our neighbors in crisis can quickly reach trained professionals who provide inclusive, culturally responsive care and can connect them to the appropriate local support.”

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects to a national network of more than 200 local crisis centers that provide free, confidential support to people in emotional or behavioral distress. The service was mandated in the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, which Congress passed in 2020. In Pennsylvania, 988 became available on July 16, 2022.

The 988 service is available 24/7 through call, text, or chat. Each method offers a connection with trained behavioral health professionals who have years of experience counseling individuals and families, including veterans, Spanish speakers, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.

988 service aims to:

Provide immediate crisis intervention from trained mental health professionals.
Reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and law enforcement interactions for mental health crises.
Connect callers with appropriate follow-up care and community resources.
Offer an accessible alternative for those experiencing mental health emergencies.

“Adding 988 to LVF’s continuum of crisis care services will strengthen the resources available to residents across Bucks County, expanding access to timely and effective support in…

For years, she was a historical footnote in Philadelphia’s story of abolitionism. Finally, she’s getting her due.

Post author By jeff
Post date June 19, 2025
No Comments on For years, she was a historical footnote in Philadelphia’s story of abolitionism. Finally, she’s getting her due.

In the winter of 1773, 29-year-old Dianah Nevil, a woman with Indigenous, African and European ancestry arrived in Philadelphia with her young children and made a remarkable claim– one that set her on a years-long legal journey, changed the course of her family’s life, and jump started the nation’s first white abolition society.

That winter Nathan Lowry of Flemington, N.J. sold Nevil and her family to Benjamin Bannerman, who intended to transport them to Virginia. Bannerman was a slave trader, whose wife placed an ad in the Virginia Gazette in 1768, chronicling his abusive behavior. Two years before the American War for Independence, Nevil and her four children left Flemington either because Bannerman directed her to move or because Nevil sought asylum — and traveled to Philadelphia, 50 miles away.

Upon reaching the city, sources agree, she asserted that she and her children were free people. In 1773, there were approximately 945 enslaved persons in the greater Philadelphia area. Twenty years before that, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting–an organization providing guidance to its Quaker meeting worship groups– had directed Quakers to disown members — who bought or sold Africans, and encouraged members who enslaved people to release them from enslavement.
