Standing Bear Council July Meeting Sunday, July 6

Standing Bear Council will host its July membership meeting on Sunday, July 6, at 1 p.m. at the Hawkeye Restaurant, 105 N. Park Dr., Keokuk, Iowa. Those wishing to eat are encouraged to come at noon.

Standing Bear Council meetings and membership are open to all people– Native and non-Native.

Standing Bear Council Elder, Jerry Starr, will continue to speak on how to listen to the drum and the sacred aspects of the drum and drumming. The drum is the “heartbeat” of gatherings and powwows, a vital reminder of Native Americans’ resilience, strength and survival despite centuries-long persecution and upheaval, and of their bond with ancestral lands. He will be joined by Karen Sparrow.

Following the presentation, the meeting will focus on reviewing the program at the Montrose Health Center on June 10, the presentation at the Hamilton Public Library on June 12, the program for the Carthage Public Library on June 23, the presentation at the Keokuk Public Library July 2, and the blessing ceremony at the future Puck-e-she-tuck Native Garden in Keokuk. The Keokuk Historic Commission named the garden, which means “foot of the rapids,” and asked Standing Bear Council to participate.

The garden is at the site of the former Benjamin Bawdin home, constructed in the mid-19th century– circa 1847– and Keokuk’s oldest residence and last standing handmade frontier house until it was deconstructed and put into storage; a frame of the house with a roof– a “ghost structure” will be built in the near future. The home was located in what was once the “Half-Breed Tract,” a 119,000-acre tract of land housing people of mixed (Native American– especially Sauk and Fox– and European) heritage.

Grant applications and the Winter Gathering will be discussed. The Council will coordinate speakers and topics for educational programs during the membership meetings.

Standing Bear Council is a…

Shannon Holsey on impacts of tribal health clinics and the Tribal Elder Food Box program.

ICT News

President Shannon Holsey:
In our dental department, we currently have — I think — 1,500 patients, which is pretty a large operation, so it’s multifaceted in its approach. People are very, very reliant on our health care clinic to provide basic health care to them. So, our health care system has been in operation for a long time. We have expanded and we continue to expand. Right behind our health care clinic we also have a assisted living center that can house up to 36 of our tribal elders and community members, so our operations are expanding.

Erica Ayisi:
I know some of the tribes have Tribal Elder Food Boxes and other community-based, food-based programs to provide Indigenous food to the elder community. Does Stockbridge-Munsee have a similar program, and if so, with USDA cuts, how has that been impacted?

President Shannon Holsey:
Yes, it is. So, it impacts every tribe in Wisconsin. We all participate in this USDA food box program, and it’s scheduled to be cut as of the fall. We have solicited additional dollars to continue it, because we know that it has had positive impact. It’s…

There’s an app for that: Inside the technological battle to save Indigenous languages

Open this photo in gallery:

Yvette Mollen, a professor, researcher, author and web content developer whose work is focused on preserving Innu-aimun, an Algonquian language spoken by Innu people in Quebec and Labrador.Amélie Philibert

“I will fight until the day I die for my language to survive and thrive.”

Yvette Mollen’s passion for championing Innu-aimun is unwavering. The professor, researcher, author and web content developer has dedicated most of her adult life to recording, preserving and passing on her ancestors’ tongue, an Algonquian language spoken by some 10,000 Innu in Quebec and Labrador. One way she does this is by developing interactive online games that help children learn Innu-aimun, while also seeing how their people lived, and still could live, on the land.

For Ms. Mollen — the recipient in 2024 of the Order of Quebec for her linguistic initiatives — Innu-aimun is the language closest to her heart, but all languages matter and deserve support to stay alive.

“Because if the Creator had wanted us all to speak the same language, he would have made it so,” she says.

In fact, the United Nations estimates that of the 7,000 or so languages spoken worldwide today, some 47 per cent are threatened or endangered, most of them Indigenous tongues. In Canada, there are more than 70 distinct Indigenous languages spoken by First Nations, Inuit and Métis, but according to Canada’s 2021 census, only 13.1 per cent of the Indigenous population reported knowing how to speak their traditional languages, down from 21.4 per cent in 2006.

What’s more, there is not a single Indigenous language in Canada that is not at risk, with the level of peril going from vulnerable (when a given language is still “used by some children in all domains” or “by all children in some domains”) to definitely,…

Tonight’s full moon will be the lowest since 2006. Why it’s called the ‘strawberry moon’ — and how you can best view it.

Look up at the sky tonight, and you could be rewarded with a rare sighting: the so-called strawberry moon. Also known as June’s full moon, the strawberry moon earned its name because it takes place during the time of year when strawberries are ripe and ready for harvest. This year, the strawberry moon will be at its lowest point in nearly two decades and will reach full illumination in the early hours of June 11.

Here’s what stargazers should know ahead of the strawberry moon’s appearance.

What is the strawberry moon?

Named by Native American Algonquian tribes, the strawberry moon refers to June’s full moon, which takes place after the brief fruit harvesting season that coincides with its annual appearance. While the moon’s nickname isn’t a specific reference to its color, there’s a high likelihood that it will have a reddish hue when it nears the horizon.

“The origin of the name ‘Strawberry Moon’ has nothing to do with the Moon’s hue or experience,” according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. “A Moon usually appears reddish when it’s close to the horizon because the light rays must pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere.”

The nickname given to June’s full moon varies based on tribes. The Haida people, an Indigenous group in the Pacific Northwest, refer to it as the “berries ripen moon,” while the Muscogee call it the “blackberry moon” and the Shawnee tribe know it as the “raspberry moon.”

Why is the strawberry moon special this year?

In the Northern Hemisphere, June’s full moon will reach its lowest point all year. This year, however, the strawberry moon will be the lowest…

BPL to participate in virtual Smithsonian project

Burlington Public Library’s teen advisory group, TICOS (Teens Inspiring Changes, Optimism, and Service) has been selected to participate in the Democracy in Dialogue project sponsored by the Smithsonian.

As the world’s largest museum, education, and research complex, the Smithsonian Institute is helping to engage young people by asking, ‘how has your community played a role in 250 years of the American experiment?’ through the Democracy in Dialogue virtual exchange project.

In 2026 the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday, and this project encourages students from all walks to life to engage in discovery, dialogue, and reflection by exploring the complexities in our nation’s history.

From the significant role that Burlington played with the Sauk and Meskwaki people to being the territorial capital and hosting the first Free Public Library West of the Mississippi, this area has a rich history for teens to explore.

The unique cultural storytelling component of this project will be carried out with our teen mural installation in the teen area of the library.

This will be the library’s first permanent mural and will feature greater Burlington’s story along with notable people from the area.

“I am so excited for this opportunity for our area teens,” said Becky Ruberg, the BPL Teen Specialist.

“What an awesome experience for them!”

As part of this grant the teens will meet weekly at the library and will meet virtually with their exchange cohort in Springfield, Illinois, several times throughout the summer.

“We are incredibly proud of our TICOS kids and Becky Ruberg, for being selected for this prestigious program,” said Library Director Brittany Jacobs. “Partnerships like this open doors for area students to world-class thinkers and doers and inspire curiosity on a magnificent scale. What a wonderfully creative and impactful way for us to participate in reflections on 250 years of US history.”

If you know of any children…
