Our 6th graders are at .campus participating in the Teva program this week. Students are learning about nature, Jewish tradition, and how these contribute to our understanding of the environment. The program ties in with their Mishna and Earth Science curricula.

Teva celebrates with Pearlstone as we name and dedicate our stream restoration site: Tëmakwehane.

We remember the story of the first human Adam and his responsibility to name every animal. Many Teva students got to explore this site last spring. We look forward to welcoming future Teva students to explore the Tëmakwehane creek. Working to dedicate an official name along with our indigenous partners marks an important milestone for this restored waterway, which is one of thousands of streams which feed the Chesapeake Bay. With this name we envision a vibrant future for the Beaver here at Pearlstone.

At Teva we celebrate the cycle of water:
"All streams flow into the sea,
Yet the sea is never full;
To the place [from] which they flow
The streams flow back again"
-Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 1:7

"Tëmakwehane" - Beaver Creek

Language: Lenape (Piscataway); Phonetics: tuh-MAH-kway-HAH-nay

This Lenape name honors the Piscataway lineage. Beaver are keystone species to healthy stream valleys – they thrived alongside the Piscataway for generations. The living Chief of the Piscataway Indian Nation is from the Beaver clan. The Beaver Clan have long been the Piscataway leaders. It is meaningful to honor them in this way. Many animals inhabit the restored stream valley. Beaver, Mink, sometimes River Otter, lots of different Fish, Birds and Amphibians. This name uplifts the Piscataway people, our other indigenous neighbors, and the Beaver as wisdom-holders in our community. They are leaders in our ongoing journey towards ecological and cultural health.
