## Controversy

The Port Neches–Groves Independent School District has a long history involving its continued use of their mascot, the Indians, despite years of controversy and calls of racism. Their drill team performs wearing decorative war bonnets, their chants include the words "Scalp 'Em, Indians", their yearbook is the "War Whoop", their newspaper is called "The Pow Wow news" and their stadium is called, "The Reservation."

In 2020, the Cherokee Nation requested that the school stop using their mascot, rescinding an outdated approval given to the school from 1980. Despite a nearly 150,000 signature petition requesting the name change, along with the request of the Cherokee Nation, the town voted to keep the mascot.

In 2022, the Indianettes were filmed performing at Walt Disney World. According to Disney, when the school sent their audition video for approval, the Indianettes were not included and the school was instructed that their members could not wear their war bonnets during the performance. Their inclusion was not approved by Disney and was a decision made by the school. During the performance at the park, the team shouted chants of "Scalp 'Em" and enacted simulated war dances. The school has not issued a statement though many residents have defended their actions and stand by their refusal to change.

After the performance, Cherokee Nation's Principal Chief, Chuck Hoskin Jr, released a statement once again requesting that the school remove the mascot stating: "Port Neches-Groves Independent School District continues to use offensive and stereotypical depictions of our tribe, and this is yet again exampled by their cheer team recently in Orlando. For the past couple of years, we have written to the Port Neches superintendent and school board asking them to cease using this offensive imagery, chanting, symbolism and other practices in their school traditions as this does nothing but dishonor us and all Native American tribes who are making great strides in this country. School leaders need educating on cultural appropriateness, should apologize for continuing to ignore our requests to stop and need to make swift changes to correct these offensive displays across their school district."

# Martha Crone

**Martha Crone** (1894–1989) was an American botanist and horticulturist.

## Biography

### Private life

Crone was born in Minneapolis on January 29, 1894, as Martha E. Eberlein, to Edward and Amelie Eberlein. She attended formal schooling only through 8th grade, but became a self-taught expert in, botany, horticulture, and writing.

She married the dentist Bill Crone (1894-1951), in 1915, She had a daughter (Janet C. Prevey, born 1917, died 1989) and three grandchildren (David Prevey, Judith Prevey, and Linder Wander). At the time of her death in 1989, Crone had three great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

### Career

#### Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary

Crone served as an assistant for 15 years to Eloise Butler, the first curator of what was originally known as the Minneapolis Wildflower Garden. She went on to become the second curator of what is now known as the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary in 1933. Under her leadership, the garden grew to over 20 acres in Theodore Wirth Park (formerly known as Glenwood Park) in north Minneapolis. She planted thousands of flowers and ferns while overseeing the landscaping of trees and other plantings. Martha Crone planted over 100 species of wildflowers including many rare wildflowers that were rescued by Crone from across the state including at sites being plowed under for development. She served as Curator of The Garden for 26 years and founded The Friends of the Garden, Inc in 1952. After her retirement as Curator of the Garden, she continued her support and advocacy of The Garden as Secretary, Treasurer, and Newsletter Editor until 1971. In 1951, Martha Crone was awarded a bronze medal for achievement from the Minnesota Horticultural Society. On May 17, 1970, The Martha E. Crone Shelter, which was planned, built, and funded by the Friends of the Wildflower Garden, opened in Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden.

#### *The Fringed Gentian*

From 1953 to 1971, Crone became the editor of *The Fringed Gentian* the quarterly newsletter of Friends of the Wildflower Garden, Inc. Her writing skills and passion for nature are evident in her last contribution to the newsletter in April 1971. Her yearly reports to the Park Board, led by Theodore Wirth, were comprehensive about plantings, visitors, weather, improvements to the garden, and mosquitoes. Her sense of humor over the latter is evidenced in a letter to Theodore Wirth. In response to Wirth's criticism of the mosquitoes at the garden, Martha Crone replies: "I wish to offer my apologies for the ill manner of my mosquitoes, they are rather difficult to train as each one lives only a short time."

#### Cedar Creek Natural History Area

On December 31, 1936, Crone and her husband acquired 40 acres of property in the Cedar Creek Forest, north of Minneapolis and east of Bethel, MN, for $375 with a down payment of $10. They built a small cabin on the site in 1938, and proceeded to spend weekends year round in this wetlands retreat for many years. Crone collected rare plants from this site to be transplanted in The Garden, including 24 Ram's Head ladyslippers in 1936. In the spring of 1940, Professor Arthur N. Wilcox of the University of Minnesota, visited Crone at her Cedar Creek property to get her "version of conservation at our Cedar Bog site." Arthur Wilcox was influential in establishing the Cedar Creek Natural History Area in 1940 which is now known as the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, and this began Crone's sustained involvement with this important ecological study site. The Crone property provided access to the research laboratories at Cedar Creek Natural History Area and she eventually sold her parcel to this now registered US Natural Landmark where the hillock where her cabin was is now known as Crone Knoll.

title: Pleasant Camp (Haines, Alaska)

abstract: Pleasant Camp, also known as the Dalton Trail Camp, is a historic frontier police outpost near Haines, Alaska. It was established by the Canadian North-West Mounted Police in 1898 as a border station between the United States and Canada where they could control the flow of miners during the Klondike Gold Rush. It is located at Mile 40 of the Haines Highway. The post was operated by the NWP until roughly 1899. The border between the two countries was formalized in the area in 1900, resulting in the presence of this former Canadian outpost on US soil. The camp's surviving remnants were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
