    The Long Island Native & Black History UPDATE Volume 1, Number 1 July 22 – 29, 2006 [Reprint] Jul 25, 2006 On NY1 Now: News All Morn (http://www.ny1.com/ny1/OnTheAir/program_guide.jsp) Memorial To Be Built At African, Native American Burial Ground In Queens By Roger Clark A Queens’s playground is being transformed, as the city pays homage to the ancestors of both African and Native Americans. NY1's Roger Clark has more in the following report. Across the street from the Flushing cemetery is the final resting place for 1,000 people. But there are no headstones or landscaping - it's a playground built over a graveyard in the 1930's by the city. “It was inconceivable that you would make a playground out of a cemetery,” says activist Mandingo Tshaka of Bayside. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.” Beneath the asphalt is the burial place of mostly African and Native Americans buried in a potter's field from the 19th century. Now, a 15-year campaign to make the site a memorial park by Tshaka, who has ancestors buried in the field, is becoming a reality. “We're going to have lots of planting, benches, pathways, a new playground, [and] I think it’s going to be a wonderful amenity for the neighborhood," says Angelyn Chandler of the Parks Department. The 3.5-acre site will be surrounded by iron fencing, and there will also be a memorial to those buried there. Getting to this point wasn't easy because some residents weren't happy about losing a playground.

  • Tribal Systems and Land Alienation: a Case Study
    Tribal Systems and Land Alienation: A Case Study JOHN STRONG Long Island University The use of deceit, force and manipulation by whites to di­ vest Indians of their ancestral lands is generally acknowledged, although local historians will often argue that in their areas things were different. Their ancestors treated Indians honestly, buying land from the chief of the tribe fairly and squarely. In­ deed, most local histories celebrate a "chief" who was a special friend of the first settlers, protecting them in time of trou­ ble, providing them with food and signing the inevitable peace treaty, which included large chunks of real estate. This chief generally had a beautiful daughter who played a dramatic role in local folklore. She was either kidnapped by the bad Indians and rescued by whites or married to a white settler. Fanciful variations of this tale are told over and over as evidence of good relations between "our" Indians and our ancestors. The assertion repeated in so many accounts, which said that a tribal chief who spoke for his people negotiated away the land in a legitimate transaction, was nearly always sup­ ported by a written document bearing the signature or sign of the chief. Although questions were often raised about the na­ ture of the chief's authority by the Indians themselves and by rival groups of whites who were defending conflicting land ti­ tles, the office proved remarkably resilient. The reason for this resilience becomes clearer when we examine the deed process more closely. The process of land alienation on eastern Long Island provides an excellent case study.

The research will have immediate and specific application in the development of a General Management Plan for the park. The Ethnographic Overview and Assessment reviews the state of knowledge and documentation on the groups and communities thought to have important and continuing cultural relationships with the Seashore’s natural and cultural resources. Part history and part ethnography, the EO&A traces the history of each of these groups and communities with regard to their use of and attachments to the lands, waters, fish and wildlife, and other resources within the FIIS boundary. Information in this EO&A will help managers evaluate requests for access to resources, as well as identify park resources that may require special treatment or protection. Research Phases and Methods The six months from October 2003 through early April 2004 constituted the ethnohistorical research phase of the project.

In the struggle to protect their small land bases and maintain their communities, going to sea became part of household practices for cultural and economic survival. From approximately 1800 through 1880, indigenous whaling families from Long Island used wages from commercial whaling to combat the limitations of land, credit, and capital that they faced on and off reservations. Whaling’s opportunities supported household formation and property accumulation among Shinnecock and Montaukett people for three generations, but whaling’s instability and risk meant that these gains were hard to pass on during and after the industry’s collapse.
