35
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Nata Beet would also like to thank you our listeners

36
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 2>for your continued support and tuning in with ash you

37
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>we wouldn't be here. As they say in the Delaware

38
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>language one niche speaking of the Delaware Lenape. We're going

39
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>to dedicate this broadcast to the Lenape people to talk

40
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about their tribe. You know, it's one

41
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>of the prominent tribes we have in this area because

42
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>we have the Osage, the Cherokee, and the Lenape or Delaware.

43
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>We were talking a little bit before the broadcast, and

44
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>as I mentioned, when they realie located the Delaware here,

45
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they knew that the oce Age and the Cherokee were

46
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of warring factions, and so they kind of sandwiched

47
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware between us to act as a buffer. Right

48
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>my goodness. So evidently it worked because we're still on

49
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>a war with each other and old grudges have died away.

50
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>So I tell you what, their tribal complex is beautiful.

51
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>It really is in the north east part of Barlinville.

52
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh it is, Yeah, something else.

53
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I went out there recently. They had a cultural Day

54
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>and they had the Easter Bunny out there. They had

55
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>face painting, they had some great had a great Native

56
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>art market, you know, and it's just amazing the stuff

57
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>that you could find out there. And I was amazed

58
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>at just the community and the level of dedication people

59
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>have to their tribe and just promoting the Delaware culture.

60
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>So a little bit of background on the Lenape. They're

61
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>called the Lena Lenape, which I understand now they've kind

62
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>of dropped the whole Lennae, which actually that It's two antonyms, Lenny,

63
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>which means the genuine or pure or real and a

64
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>nab meaning real person or original person. So it's kind

65
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>of an interesting thing, I think a lot of Native

66
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>cultures because we kind of pride ourselves on being the

67
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>first or being the original. For the Cherokee, it's where

68
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>the real people or the principal people, you know. So

69
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>it's just sort of a recurring theme that you find

70
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>throughout Native cultures anyway. The i Lenape has a long

71
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 2>They have a long history. It reaches as far back

72
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>as the arrival of the Europeans. Before then, since much

73
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>has been lost over time, it's best to begin to

74
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>begin in the forest and waterways of the Hudson River Valley. UH.

75
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Their area of the La Nape Lands would cover New

76
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Jersey and Delaware, parts of southeastern Pennsylvania lying between the

77
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Susquehanna and the Delaware Rivers, and the southeastern part of

78
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 2>New York State west of the Hudson, and this whole

79
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>area was called the Lenape Hoaking that was kind of

80
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the homeland of the Nape. The Delaware people today can

81
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>be found in small enclaves across the US and Canada,

82
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>and the population. The main populations reside in Oklahoma and Ontario, Canada,

83
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>with families and individual tribal members scattered across North America.

84
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of the same way with the Cherokees. We

85
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>have Cherokees in all fifty states, in several countries. Perhaps,

86
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>as George Carlin observed about the Lenape said, no other

87
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>tribe on the continent has been so much moved and

88
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>jostled about by civilized invasions, and none have retreated so

89
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>far or fought their way so desperately as they have

90
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>honorably and bravely contended for every foot of ground they

91
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>have passed over. And I think that's kind of a

92
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>wonderful tribute to the nominal spirit of the Lenape people.

93
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>They were calling them the absentee Delaware. Absentee was a

94
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>description they were given early on because they had broken

95
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>away from the main body of the tribe shortly after

96
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the American Revolution. I know that when we had conflicts,

97
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times the native tribes would take sides

98
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>in those conflicts, and then they would kind of splinter afterwards.

99
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, we saw this in the American Revolution.

100
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>We've seen this in the Civil War. You know, anytime

101
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the United States has had a conflict that we've dealt with,

102
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>natives have been right there at the forefront of that.

103
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>A European promises of the inclusion of a fourteenth state

104
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>and Indian state were made as enticement to sign a

105
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>first Tree in the Ladapie had signed in seventeen seventy

106
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 2>eight between the United States and the and the Indians.

107
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Of course, no Indian state was ever declared, and by

108
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 2>seventeen eighty two, continued expansion of the frontier and the

109
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>violence that often erupted from that expansion, compelled the Delaware

110
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 2>to move beyond the borders of the newly formed the

111
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>United States and the Spanish territory west of the Mississippi River.

112
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>In seventeen ninety three, the Delaware were given a land

113
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 2>grant from the Governor General of Louisiana that they would

114
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>share with the Shawneese. That's a tribe that you're familiar with.

115
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 2>This tract of land was located northwest the present day

116
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Cape Girardo, Missouri, and after eighteen fifteen, the Cape Giedo

117
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Delaware continued south and southwest into Arkansas and the Indian territories,

118
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>while the main buy of the tribe continued to reside

119
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. After the Cape Grotto group began moving south,

120
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>they would splendor into three groups, one group presiding along

121
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>in the northeast Texas border, others near present day Nagadosius, Texas,

122
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>and the third group near present day Buyers, Oklahoma, McCurtain County.

123
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>These Delaware, along with the other band seeking a place

124
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to live, would find themselves removed from Texas three times

125
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>before eventually settling on Wichita allotments in the Antarco and Antarc, Oklahoma.

126
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Not until late twentieth centuries, the Absentee Delaware then the

127
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Delaware Tribe of western Oklahoma. They are now the finally

128
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>recognized Delaware tribe. We know them today. They're right headquarter

129
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>right here in Burnsville. And I think it's interesting to

130
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 2>go back to their you know, you don't really appreciate

131
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>just how timeless they are if you go back to

132
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>their creation story. Basically, it says that they'd prayed to

133
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 2>their creator for the waters to rise, and the creator

134
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>directed the people to a large hill and told them

135
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the camp on. It kind of reminds me of the

136
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Genesis story of a building the ark and then once

137
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>the waters receeated the arc, you know, being on Mount

138
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 2>air a Rarat. But as the ring continued to fall,

139
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the water began to pool and rise around them, so

140
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>they moved to the very top of the hill. Once

141
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>again we have that theme of a flood story. As

142
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the water crept up toward them, wetting their feet, the

143
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>hill began to tremble and shake, rising up with the people.

144
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Upon its back was the great tex Soks or turtle,

145
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>who had been hiding beneath the hill for many years.

146
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>And if you know anything about the Delaware culture, the

147
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>turtle is a ubiquitous symbol. It's big, it is yeah.

148
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:28.759
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, the interesting thing about the story is there's

149
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a thing called the wall Olam, which is the red score,

150
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's the recounting of where they came from. And

151
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the interesting is it was actually recorded what are known

152
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>as mnemonic glyphs, which are somewhat similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics.

153
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>These stories were to traditionally share it through storytelling, and

154
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>at some point an individual decided to record the stories

155
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>in new wooden strips. The assumption. By late nineteenth and

156
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 2>twentieth century interpreters of the walam olum the world tradition

157
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>was passed down from one person to another, which is

158
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a very common theme in native cultures. The part of

159
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the story that is the most intriguing is what is

160
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>called Book three of the wallamoaklum And, Verses fifteen through seventeen,

161
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and this is a quote. All of them said, they

162
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>we'd go together to land, all who were free. The

163
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>northerners were of one mine, and the Easterners were of

164
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 2>one mind. It would be good to live on the

165
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>other side of the frozen water. Things turned out well

166
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>for those who stayed at the shore of the frozen

167
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>water hard as rocks, and for those of the great

168
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 2>hollow Well and the Monogliphs were interpreted in the late

169
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>nineteenth century by doctor Britain, and from this interpretation, the

170
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Wall of Oapland suggests two groups of people decide to

171
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 2>leave their homelands and what is now modern day Siberia,

172
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>moving across the once frozen bearing straight southward across the

173
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Yukon until arriving at the headwaters of the Mackenzie and

174
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Columbia Rivers. Wow, so isn't that amazing? Yeah, because that's

175
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about the ice age. Really, we are, so

176
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 2>that's actually how far it goes back. So basically, the

177
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Delaware were divided up into three clans, the Wolf clan,

178
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 2>do Anami which is the turtle clan, and the Turkey clan.

179
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>And the other interesting thing is the Lenape. They put

180
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>a prize on belonging to clans, just like the Cherokee did,

181
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>and they had a matrilineal clan system, you know, meaning

182
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that it was all sort of descended, you know, through

183
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 2>your mother. You got your clan from your mother. The

184
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 2>interesting thing about that is the father, who you would expect,

185
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 2>like in our culture, like an English culture, to teach

186
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 2>you all the things that you need to know to

187
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>survive and hunting and stuff like that, it didn't follow

188
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>to him. It actually fell to the mother's brother because

189
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>he was part of that clan, whereas the father was

190
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>usually from a different clan. So that's how being a

191
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>matrilineal society and matrilocal is what they call that. That's

192
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>basically how the hereditary leadership was passed through the matrilineal line.

193
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>It was interesting because even the women elders could remove

194
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 2>leaders of whom they disapproved, and I know the Cherokee

195
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 2>we would have elder women on our workouncils. So, I mean,

196
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that's sort of sort of a unique sort of thing

197
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>when you think about it. Going back a couple hundred years,

198
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>members of each clan were found throughout Lenape territorium. While

199
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.960
<v Speaker 2>clan mothers controlled the land, the houses, and the families,

200
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>the clan fathers provide the meat, cleared the fields, built

201
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>the houses, and protected the clan. Upon reaching adulthood, a

202
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Lenape mel would marry outside of his clan for obvious reasons,

203
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>and the practice effectively prevented inbreeding, even among individuals whose

204
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>kinship was obscure or unknown. So that's that's another thing

205
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>that you see throughout Cherokee culture too, is that you

206
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 2>would actually marry outside your clan, and of course, you know,

207
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 2>we know the reason for that. The other thing is

208
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>the Europeans when they would deal with Lenape tribes, they

209
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>would sort of misinterpret this whole matrilineal focus and they

210
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>would they would sort of make agreements with certain people

211
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>that were in the tribe, and those really weren't people

212
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in authority. You could make agreements with the lines. A

213
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit of the confusion as to you know, how

214
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 2>land was transferred Yeah, things like that. Yeah, So anyway, today,

215
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware Tribe of Indians is one of the three

216
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>federally recognized tribes of Delaware Indians in the United States,

217
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>is a branch of Delaware, commonly known here based in Barsel.

218
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>As we said, tribal membership is limited to descendants of

219
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Delaware people in the nineteen oh six tribal roles from

220
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 2>in the territory. There is no minimum blood quantum a requirement,

221
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're often called We talked about this before. They're

222
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 2>often called the Grandfathers because they were respected by other

223
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>tribes as peacemakers and often served to settle disputes between

224
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 2>rivaling tribes. They're also known for being fierce and tenacious

225
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 2>warriors when they had to fight. However, they prefer to

226
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>be peaceful. In fact, even today, like when we attend

227
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware event, we usually give thanks to our Delaware

228
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 2>hosts as the Grandfather Tribe because you just as we

229
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 2>described in the glyphs, you know, the history of that

230
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>tribe goes back to the Ice Age, So I mean

231
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely it really is the Grandfather Tribe. The treaties

232
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 2>and land cells that were signed with the Europeans because

233
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware believed, actually, the Delaware are those treaties we

234
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>talked about, They kind of believe they're more like leases.

235
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>They'd realized they were binding for the amount of time

236
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that they were. The Delaware had no idea what land

237
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>was was and something that could be sold. They believed

238
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the land belonged to the creator and they were only

239
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 2>using it to shelter and feed their people. The Delaware

240
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>people signed the First Indian Treaty with the newly formed

241
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the United States government in seventeen seventy eight nontheless the

242
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>war and peace through war in peace, the Delaware would

243
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>continue to give up lands and move westward, first Ohio,

244
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>then the Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and finally Indian Tory which

245
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is now Oklahoma, two different migrations. Small small band of

246
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 2>chart Delawares left the group in the late seventeen hundreds

247
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>and today located antadarchic Oklahoma ows the Delaware Nation. Small

248
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 2>contingents of Delawares fled to Canada during a time of

249
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>extreme persecution and today occupy two reserves in Ontario and

250
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>are known as the Munsey Delaware Nation. In eighteen sixty seven,

251
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 2>after dealing with the United States on a government to

252
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>government basis. The ancestors of the Delaware Tribe of Indians

253
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 2>to relocate to Oklahoma to live within the Cherokee Nation.

254
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>The Delaware Tribe of Indians operated automously within the lands

255
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 2>of the Cherokee Nation, and after passage of the nineteen

256
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 2>seventy two Appropriations Act, the Delaware Tribe of Indians sought

257
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>federal recognitions separate from the Cherokee Nation, and in nineteen

258
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>seventy five it was granted. And that's kind of interesting

259
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>because that's also the same year that the Cherokee Nation

260
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>was granted its sovereignty and able to elect its own chief,

261
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>basically the first time in a very long time in

262
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>its history. In nineteen seventy nine, the Bureau of Indian

263
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Affairs revoked the status. The BIA had determined that the

264
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Department of the Interior would generally engage in government to

265
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 2>government relations with the Delaware Tribe only through the Cherokee Nation,

266
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>and that the Department went engaged in direct relations of

267
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware Tribes solely with respect to the tribe's claims

268
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>against the United States. Then in ninety one, the Delaware

269
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Tribe of Indians regained their federal recognition by the Secretary

270
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>of Interior. However, the Cherokee Nation disagreewed the decision filed

271
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 2>suit against the BIA and the Secretary. This led of

272
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the Delaware tribe losing federal record again in two thousand

273
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and four. After years and negotiations, the issues were finally resolved,

274
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>and on July twenty eight, two thousand and nine, the

275
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>United States Department of the Interior notified the tribal office

276
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>in Barnesville that the Delaware given once again a federally

277
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>recognized tribe. Say, as you can see that recognition has

278
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>been fleeting at some moments, but I think it's a

279
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>testament really to the resiliency of the Delaware people. We

280
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>need they continue to fight for all these centuries. Before

281
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>we go today, we have a few announcements we don't

282
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>want to forget. This month's prize giveaway for our listeners.

283

293
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Fellowship in South Coffeeville, I encourage everyone, whether Cheroke here

294
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 2>or not, to find a community and get involved. As

295
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>with many organizations I see across the board, the membership

296
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>is aging and we need younger people to get involved

297
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and help carry on our culture, traditions and language before

298
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 2>they are lost. One of the things that struck me

299
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>in prepping for the last broadcast that are in the

300
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Cato tribe. That tribe has two Native speakers left. That's

301
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it too. And we talked about the Cherokee Nation. In fact,

302
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee Nation in nineteen seventy five, I believe we had

303
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>about twenty five thousand Native speakers. Now we have less

304
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 2>than a thousand, so it's definitely something that is it's

305
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>a crisis. You know, we need to preserve our language

306
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and we now preserve our culture and also I would

307
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.039
<v Speaker 2>recommend that everyone check out the Delaware websites and the

308
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Osage Facebook pages. They always have something fun and cultural

309
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>only meaningful happening. I ask our listeners not to forget

310
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the Teton Trade Cloth Store located at one sixty Southwest

311
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Frank Phillips Boulevard and the Johnstone Sair Building or their

312
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 2>location at the Eastland Shopping Center. You can also shop
