(CHERRY HILL, NJ) — After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the South Jersey Pops, the area’s own non-profit orchestra, resumes its milestone 50th season of delighting local audiences as it presents “Solstice” on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at Lenape High School in Medford, N.J. The concert’s theme is both a nod to the winter solstice and the orchestra’s excitement to turn the corner and return to the stage.

South Jersey Pops’ musical director Robert Bradshaw of Audubon, founder of the Haddonfield School of Music, will resume his fifth season conducting the 70-piece, all-volunteer orchestra. And despite the long break, the orchestra has grown, adding more than five new members.

“In November of 2019, we began to celebrate our 50th year with our concert ‘Yesterday: The Music of Pops Past.’ Two years later, we are thrilled to continue the celebration and resume our concerts,” said Bradshaw. “We have been rehearsing as a full orchestra since early September, and have kept up our musical chops with a few Zoom ‘performances,’ so we will be ready to usher in the holidays with a grand return to the stage.”

All attendees ages 12 and over will be required to present proof of COVID vaccination, and all guests must wear a mask during the concert.

“As the winter solstice marks the end of the longest night and the return of the sun, the Pops celebrates our return to the stage after a long hiatus,” said South Jersey Pops Executive Director Christian Stebbins. “We’ll play some holiday favorites, along with music that captures our feelings…

Details By Native News Online Staff November 25, 2021

Millions of viewers who tuned in today to watch the 2021 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade were treated with a blessing by Mashpee Wampanoag tribal elders Carolyn Wynne (Otter Clan) and Siobhan Brown, who acknowledged the Lenape territory of Manahatta.

The blessing, which was written and shared with us by members of the Wampanoag Language Reclamation Project, (WLRP.org) will air exclusively in the Wampanoag language, but translates in English to the following: “Creator and Ancestors, we honor you for all things. We honor the Lenape people of Manahatta and all our relations. Now we are here; and will always be here. And so it is.”

Help us tell Native stories that get overlooked by other media.

Portions of the performance were spoken in Wôpanâôt8âôk, the language of the Wampanoag People.

Positioned behind the two elders for television cameras were Wampanoag Nation singers and dancers who gifted viewer with a performance of a song known to the tribe as the Calumet, which connects the four directions and honors all relations.

Among the singers and dancers were 2021 Wampanoag Princess Dasia Peters, Cheenulka Pocknett, David Pocknett, Gertrude “Kitty” Hendricks-Miller, Hartman Deetz, John Peters, Talia Landry.

The musical arrangement was by Ty Defoe (Oneida/Ojibwe).

Today’s appearance was the second year of collaboration between Indigenous Direction and the creative team behind the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.

The Wampanoag Tribe, also known as The People of the First Light, have inhabited the Eastern coast of present-day Massachusetts for more than 12,000 years. In the centuries following first contact with colonizing settlers, forced assimilation silenced the Wampanoag language for over 150 years. However, through historical written…

Susan Bachor, assistant chief of Delaware Tribe of Indians Jeremy Johnson, Emily Serpico, and Margaret Ball.

An East Stroudsburg University honors program student is using modern technology to educate others about an ancient culture in a new exhibit.

Emily Serpico, a senior history and communication double major who is also pursuing a business writing certificate, utilized 3D technology to replicate several artifacts from Greene Dreher Historical Society for her honors thesis project, currently on display in Stroud Hall. The exhibit, Living Legacies: Community Connections, is the result of several months of work in which Serpico teamed up with Susan Bachor, Delaware Tribe Historic Preservation Office and ESU instructor of history and geography; Darlene Farris-LaBar, ESU professor and chair of art + design; and students such as art + design major, James Holloway, by lending various areas of expertise, including 3D scanning and 3D printing.

The exhibit allowed Serpico to apply her various skill sets and take a hands-on approach to her studies. She honed her cataloguing and researching skills during her internship with Bachor last summer, and she currently works at the Schisler Museum of Wildlife and Natural History and McMunn Planetarium. Her supervisor at the museum, Cathy Klingler, did some consulting work on the project. “It came together pretty naturally,” Serpico said.

The exhibit timeline was aggressive, according to Bachor: “The initial brainchild happened in the spring. We wanted to have what Emily was already doing incorporated into her thesis so it wasn’t overwhelming. She ended up designing this project and exhibit. It took about 8-9 months, which is a short time for an exhibit. That’s a very demanding timeline that Emily held to. November is Indigenous People’s Month and we had the Assistant…

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Three different tribes of the Lenape Nation have lived on Staten Island. They were some of the first people to inhabit North America, as far back as 10,000 B.C. They lived mostly on the West Shore of Staten Island and hunted mastodons, giant caribou, and other large animals for food and clothing. They were known to be tenacious warriors when they had to fight, however, favoring a path of peace with the other tribes and the Europeans. The name Lenape means “common” or “ordinary people,” according to statenislandhistorian.com.

The first colonist to meet the Lenape people was Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524. The Island continued to be populated mainly by the Lenape-Raritan and Unami Native Americans until about 1630.

Lenape people are detailed in the Borough Hall murals. On September 2, 1609, the Englishman Henry Hudson sails into the Harbor under the Dutch flag. A mate of Hudson’s writes about the land, “pleasant with grass and flowers and goodly trees.” Native Americans look on with conflicting emotions.(Staten Island Advance)

After complex wars prompted mainly by the Dutch, blood was spilled on both sides. When things settled down, in 1661 the Dutch established an enduring colony called Oude Dorp, or Old Town, near South Beach. The Lenapes began trading with the colonists, according to Staten Island Borough Hall.

Land sales between the Lenapes and the Dutch were misunderstood, and, as a result, Native Americans sold the same land many times, leading to disputes that lasted until the 1800s.

In 2008, an exhibit of the Woodland Period, in which the Lenapes lived, was on display at the Staten Island Museum. (Staten Island Advance)

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Compliance (EDIC) led a Walk and Talk on Wednesday, Nov. 17 to educate attendees on how Native Americans use resources from the land. The event was held in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. 

For hundreds of years, members of the Ramapough Lenape Nation have preserved land and life in the Ramapough Mountains. Their heritage is important to recognize and support, as there are still active members to this day. 

“I think throughout the year we should continue to learn more,” Associate Director of EDIC Rachel Sawyer said, expressing how important it is for members of the community to continue to focus on these topics, even outside of November.

Some ways students can support the lands which the tribes have founded include indulging in a more sustainable lifestyle. Ramapo, along with its SGA Sustainability Committee and other active groups on campus, are working towards providing the community with new ways to make smarter, sustainable choices. 

Current tasks the college is working towards include a native plant meadow located behind the Sharp Sustainability Education Center — which would help support natural plant life, offering compost bins open to the public — located at the College Park Apartments (CPAs) and the Village residencies, working towards becoming completely Fair Trade and being zero-waste. These initiatives benefit the environment’s lifespan and the people within the community, especially those of minority groups. 

As a campus, it is evident that there are efforts made towards becoming more sustainable in a way that can preserve the ancestral land the college is built on. At the Walk and Talk, Sawyer shared facts about how tribes in surrounding areas survive their living conditions.

The Lenape tribe, for instance,…
