"It took place right in the Seneca territory, which is essentially the Genesee River Valley, and lands to the west and lands to the east of that."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>About 1,000 years ago, the Haudenosaunee people established one of North America's earliest democracies after longstanding unrest between tribes.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"The five original tribes that joined together to form this union were constantly at war," said Perry Ground, a professional storyteller who is a Turtle Clan member of the Onondaga Nation. "When the 'Peacemaker,' the man who brought us together, was among us, he told us to look to the sky for a symbol."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Promoted Links</p>\n<p>2023 Tax Rules and Tips for Charitable Giving</p>\n<p>UNICEF USA</p>\n<p>The five nations are the Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Seneca. They were later joined by the Tuscarora, who returned to the territory in the early 1700s.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The symbol that convinced them to hear the message of peace was an eclipse.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"The sun disappeared, and they took that as a signal that it was time to join together," added Ground. "Then from there, he was able to get the other tribes to join in and form our union that we call ourselves Haudenosaunee."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>According to Ground, that eclipse is believed to have happened in the year 1142.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"The sun is called one of the 'Great Warriors,' the uncle, and to cover it up is sort of implying that there is a need to set aside war," explained Galban. "An eclipse of the sun was evidence to the Seneca people that this was an important message, and that they should also embrace and bring about this wonderful peace that the people have enjoyed for so many centuries."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It's that message that he hopes spectators take away from the rare event.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"We to understand how Haudenosaunee people regarded the eclipse when it occurred as evidence of a great peace," Galban said.

But after they dug up bones and alerted authorities, the investigation turned into an archeological dig.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Acting State Archeologist Chris Southerly says its the most significant find hes seen in 30 years in North Carolina and possibly one of the most important ever uncovered in the state.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The developers and some state lawmakers have downplayed the findings as they push for construction to resume. But Southerly says more than 2,000 pieces of evidence found buried below the surface point to longhouses, drying racks for fish, ritual sites and other features of a village that couldve been home to some of the first people to meet with early English colonists.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In the [European] contact period, it could have been a part of the Powhatan Confederation the Indians that were met by the Jamestown settlers, Southerly said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Southerly added that people lived here for another 1,000 or more years before then. And the area between whats now Wilmington and New Bern, he said, is right where two broad groups of peoples Algonquin speakers from the north and Siouan speakers to the south and west wouldve converged and had their own cross-cultural exchanges, centuries before Europeans showed up.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>That makes this of extreme interest to us, Southerly said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>New changes to state law being debated in the state Senate, however, could allow the development to move forward by making it harder for Southerly and his office to intervene and block construction when developers find what might be considered historically significant items.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>That change would apply to all construction anywhere in the state, and to any type of historic find, not just Native American items.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Its being pushed by Sen. Michael Lazzara, R-Onslow, who WRAL reported last week has received at least $7,500 from the developers behind the project. Nearly all of that money came in May 2022. That same month, state officials wrote an initial memo detailing their interest in the unassessed prehistoric archaeological sites that the developers had accidentally stumbled across.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Partners for the development company, Cedar Point Developers LLC, haven't responded to multiple requests for comment. Lazzara said the campaign contributions from the developers had nothing to do with his advocacy for changing the law, and that he wanted to make the change to help developers anywhere in North Carolina.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>State officials confirmed Tuesday that the project owned by his donors is the only one statewide thats currently being held up for archeological review.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Threat to tourism?</p>\n<p>The fight over whether to move forward with the Carteret County development has highlighted a broader question of how this rapidly growing state should grapple with the remnants of its past.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Native American advocates and tribal leaders say the fact the legislature might make it easier to bulldoze over their history and sacred burial sites shows that the government is still at odds with them.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Robert Chavis, a council elder and Wolf Clan chief of the Tuscarora tribe in North Carolina, has spent years fighting for a closer look at developments across the state that he believes could encroach on sacred or historic ground. The government already stole many of their lands generations ago, he said in an interview, adding that what theyre asking for now is simple respect especially at sites like the one in Carteret County. At least a dozen likely burial sites have been identified, potentially holding multiple bodies in each.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Its frustrating that Native Americans still, in 2024, dont have the same rights as any other race, creed or color, Chavis said. If I went to a site that was white, Black, Asian, Hispanic graves, and tried to dig those up to build some homes, there would be a tremendous outcry.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Other Native American advocates say its not just about their peoples history.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Civil War battlefields and cemeteries would also be negatively impacted by this legislation, wrote 7 Directions of Service, a local indigenous activist group.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Historical and heritage tourism could take a nosedive if legislators are not mindful of continuing to protect these cultural gems in our great state of North Carolina, in addition to shamefully disturbing the protected remains of the states longest ancestral residents and its fallen heroes, the group added.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Legislators can choose next steps</p>\n<p>Southerly said the states first goal is never to dig up artifacts and move them to a museum or lab to be studied, but rather to leave them in place especially when grave sites are part of the equation, since federal law requires special consultations with tribes when moving and reinterring remains, which can an expensive, intrusive and time-consuming effort.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>To him, the best option would be for the developers to either donate or sell the land to the state or one of the private nonprofit historic conservancy groups discussions he said he has already tried to get started.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I had informal conversations when I was at a conference several months ago, he said of the nonprofit option. As for the government route, Southerly said thats another option: The state does acquire properties to add to state parks, to state historic sites. That happens. But that would take legislative action. Thats beyond the scope of the normal operations of our department.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>But its unclear if hell find many allies in the GOP-controlled legislature. Some Republican lawmakers say the state has become too aggressive in trying to protect even the smallest of archeological finds. They say the rules are stifling growth and putting an unfair burden on homebuilders, who then pass on the costs to everyone else.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In Harnett County, we had a developer and I think we got it resolved but they found three arrowheads and two pieces of pottery on the site he was doing, said Sen. Jim Burgin, R-Harnett during a recent legislative debate. A multiple-hundred-acre site. And it stopped everything. He had to hire an archaeologist. Spent over $300,000 on it.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Schorr Johnson, a spokesman for the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources whose archeologists are in charge of ordering such work stoppages, said that in the past four years, more than 98% of all projects that underwent review ended up getting the green light. Of 737 total projects, he said, only 13 resulted in a recommendation for further archeological study.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Woodard, D-Durham, told Burgin and Lazzara he agreed with them that the state needs to do more to make housing affordable, and that its entirely possible some regulations are too strict and need a second look.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>But he questioned whether this specific change was going too far.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In this example Down East, you've got human femurs that have been found and are still lying there, exposed, on some of these properties, Woodard told Burgin. That's a little different than finding a few arrowheads.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Woodard has helped relay concerns from the states cultural resources officials, who were not informed these changes were coming before they went up for a vote last week. But at that meeting, his GOP colleagues ignored his concerns; the bill passed its initial committee hurdle last week. But it has yet to be scheduled for another committee hearing, indicating that talks may be happening behind the scenes on how to proceed.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts: </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>ASHLEY</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>{c nc cap or vo}</p>\n<p></p>\n<p> It might be one of the most significant historical discoveries in North Carolina, in decades.
