Petroglyphs of Safe Harbor
Power Point Lecture By Paul Nevin
The Rock Art of the Lower Susquehanna
A Native Legacy Carved in Stone Native American rock art is not common in the northeast United States. But for reasons unknown to us the activity of creating rock art once flourished on the lower part of the Susquehanna River. The mystery of these places has intrigued Paul Nevin for more than 25 years as he researched and recorded this Native legacy carved in stone. In his presentation he combines history, archaeology, and Native American tradition to explore the spectacular imagery at what may be the most significant concentration of rock art sites in the northeastern United States. Paul will also talk briefly about a land and Native American cultural preservation project currently being undertaken in York County along the Susquehanna River.
Paul has had a lifelong interest and longtime involvement in Native American culture, philosophy, and spirituality and has incorporated this into his avocational involvement in archaeology. His 2002 Safe Harbor Petroglyph Recording Project received a Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Award for archaeology. He has also written chapters about the lower Susquehanna River’s rock art sites for the books The Rock Art of Eastern North America (2004) and Native Americans in the Susquehanna River Valley (in press). Paul serves on the Lancaster-York Native Heritage Advisory Council, is a past President of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology, and current President of Conejohela Chapter 28, the society’s chapter serving York and Lancaster Counties.

Seattle, WA -- Chris Stevens, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya who was killed in an attack on September 11, was a member of the Chinook Nation of Washington.
"To all of the Chinook members and all the friends of the Chinook Nation I am hopeful that you will include the family of Chris Stevens the former Ambassador to Libya that lost his life while working towards bringing a lasting peace to the region, in our prayers. Chris, along with his family are Chinook member," Chairman Ray Gardner wrote on Facebook. Stevens and his siblings are direct descendants of Chinook Chief Comcomly.

ABOUT CIRCLE LEGACY CENTER: The Circle Legacy Center acquired it's non-profit, 501(c) 3 status in 2007. Located in Lancaster, PA, our mission is to be a voice of Native America to our local communities and learning institutions. A term often used to describe events and issues of Native people is "Indian Country", which is not a specific "place" but rather describes events that impact the lives of Indian people "anywhere". Rarely is this news reported in mainstream media which makes "Indian Country" somewhat of a mystery in regions where there is a small and scattered Native population. We aspire to act as a conduit between our local communities and "Indian Country" by providing educational programs, cultural events, and consulting with local schools, colleges, and organizations. Our Board of Directors and Council of Advisors represent Native Nations from across the country as well as interested non-Indian people who share our passion and commitment to the best interests of "Indian Country" on a variety of issues. We believe "Indian Country" has an intrinsic value to our contemporary National and International societies and has made many critical contributions to the development and survival of our country. We believe it is worth learning about their intense history as well as their contemporary culture. While there continues to be many challenges and struggles, there are also inspiring victories and successes. In the tradition of our ancestors, we welcome you to our world.

INDIAN/PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY: THE GREAT TREATY
William Penn’s memorable treaty with Tamanend and other Delaware chiefs under the great elm at Shackamaxon, within the limits of Philadelphia, was described by Voltaire “as the only treaty never sworn to and never broken.”
Unarmed, clad in his somber Quaker garb, William Penn addressed the assembled Native Americans, uttering the following which will be admired throughout the ages: “We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good-will; no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. We are the same as if one man’s body was to be divided into two parts; we are of one flesh and one blood.”
The reply of Tamanend, is equally noble: “We will live in love with William Penn and his children as long as the creeks and rivers run, and while the sun, moon, and stars endure.”
