“Surviving Extinction: Land Claims & Tuscarora Treaties”
2025-02-15 13:00 - 15:00 | Mordecai Historic Park, 1 Mimosa St, Raleigh, NC, 27604
I wanted to share an event we are hosting at the Mordecai Historic Park on Feb. 15th at 1p.m. Details below:
https://raleighnc.gov/parks-and-recreation/news/digging-deeper-stories-local-archaeology
Come join us as Donnie “Rahnàwakęw” McDowell leads the presentation, “Surviving Extinction: Land Claims & Tuscarora Treaties”, which analyzes the unique relationships the ancestors of the Tuscarora Nation established with the colonial government of the State of North Carolina.
By placing a lens on the original agreements made between the Tuscarora and the new coming colonists, we better comprehend the diplomatic strategies and cultural philosophies of each culture. Discussions include ancient Tuscarora archaeological sites across the State, conflict with Europeans during the colonial era, the establishment of Wake County and the City of Raleigh, and the NC Assembly’s longstanding policy of Tuscarora disenfranchisement.

After multiple recounts, state supreme court candidate Jefferson Griffin lost his race. Now he’s pressing the courts to disenfranchise over 60,000 lawful North Carolina voters to change the result.
It’s the people’s turn to say: reject Griffin’s challenges — and respect our votes.
Join the growing opposition against Griffin’s challenges, raise your voice at rallies happening across the state, and build a pro-democracy movement together. Register below to receive important event details.
Live music is provided through a partnership with the Oak City Music Collective. Featured acts include Flower in Bloom, the Nappy Head Funk Army, and DJ Handsome Robb.

West Raleigh CAC (Virtual) including Lorimer Spring AH Development discussion
2025-02-26 19:00 - 21:00 | NC
Meeting Wednesday February 26th at 7pm
It’s time to meet and talk about what’s going on in West Raleigh!
We had a detailed discussion with City Planner Keegan McDonald around Transit zoning and the possible Lorimer Spring Affordable Housing Development.
This month we will talk with Tim Morgan from Evergreen Construction about the proposed 60 rental apartments that will be age restricted to those 55 years or older. Will these be all affordable rentals? What is the income level that an applicant will need to meet to be eligible to live there? What other sites were considered for this development and why does this site fit the criteria for this level of density?

We will have Captain Jonathan Manson from RPD to discuss crime in this area of Raleigh as well as representatives from the Transportation and Utilities departments to talk about the impact along Garland Drive if this proposed development moves forward.
We will also hold time for community updates from our members and welcome you to bring any topic to us for consideration at future meetings.
We hope you can join us via zoom on Wednesday evening at 7pm.
