Ocean County Historical Society 26 Hadley Ave, Toms River, NJ, United StatesTy “Dancing Wolf” Ellis January 14, 2024, at 2:00 PM “Continuous Fight for Recognition on Lenape Homelands” Lenapehoking(k); the land of the Lenape, and the land of our ancestors. The lands that many Lenape people were forcibly displaced from, while others attempted to hide in plain sight for over a century before finally being allowed to claim their culture and heritage as Indigenous People publicly. This basic human right was something not afforded to Native People on the East Coast until just a short 45 years ago This discussion will go on to speak about the history of Lenape people on these lands (and touch on those that were removed) starting with the Trail of Tears, to the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, to reformation of our community, to the constant struggles of each decade after. Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis is a citizen of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribe; one of three state recognized tribes within New Jersey, and a Sovereign Nation.

Tree of Life Paint-A-Long
Trinity's Magickal Intentions 40 Main St, Toms River, NJ, United StatesWelcome to our Tree of Life Paint-a-Long Workshop at Trinity's Magickal Intentions with Allison of New Luanr Light! Join us for an immersive artistic journey into the realm of growth, creation, and new beginnings. Prepare to embark on a serene meditation session at the beginning of our workshop. Through guided meditation, we'll focus our minds on the symbolic significance of the Tree of Life—a universal symbol representing interconnectedness, vitality, and the cycle of life. This meditation will serve as the foundation for our creative exploration, allowing us to tap into our inner creativity and channel our intentions towards personal growth and renewal. We'll contemplate its significance as a representation of the interconnectedness of all living beings, as well as its associations with growth, wisdom, and the eternal cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Once our minds are attuned to the essence of the Tree of Life, we'll transition into the main painting session. Using acrylic paints on canvas, we'll bring our visions of the Tree of Life to life on the blank canvas before us. Please be aware that acrylic paint can stain, so we recommend wearing something appropriate for our painting session. However, don't let the fear of a [...]
