complex on Wednesday Police said the shooting happened at the Southwinds Point apartments on Evergreen Way in Stockbridge Responding officers reportedly found two people dead at the complex Police have not said what led up to the shooting or announced suspects Atlanta News First now has a clearer picture of what happened from someone who saw and heard the shooting Sebastian was walking with her pup outside her home Wednesday morning before she heard the terrifying sounds Her curiosity kicked in before the gunshots when she saw unusual activity developing in the parking lot “A guy pulled up next to this car,” Sebastian said “He got out and it had ‘police’ written on the back [of his shirt] I saw one of the maintenance guys and one of the ladies in the office what’s going on here today?’ Three other guys walked over and went down the steps.” Sebastian says they went toward building 400 “Like a high-powered rifle,” Sebastian said I grabbed my dog and tried to go in the back and minutes later she took pictures of the massive response from law enforcement Sebastian sent us the response from the apartment complex to all residents It said the incident involved a guest of one of the residents It also said: “Based on guidance from law enforcement we understand there is no ongoing threat to residents or the surrounding community related to this incident.” “I’m having PTSD issues hearing all that gunfire,” Sebastian said Sebastian said she plans to stay with a friend after witnessing the deadly shooting Atlanta News First asked Stockbridge police and federal authorities for a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the double fatal shooting and the people who died Check back with Atlanta News First for updates a 372-acre parcel on the northern slope of Monument Mountain has been acquired by the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians for $2.5 million president of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians spoke at the Stockbridge Town Offices in August 2023 after the announcement of the pending acquisition of homelands for the tribe on the northern slope of Monument Mountain.  restores 372 acres at the northern slope of Monument Mountain to tribal control for preservation as woodland and farmland STOCKBRIDGE — The Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians representing the town’s original native American settlers has completed its acquisition of sacred land totaling 372 acres at the northern base of Monument Mountain recorded at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds earlier this month restores the forest and farmland to the tribal ancestors forced out of their western New England and upstate New York homelands by European colonial settlers more than 200 years ago The purchase was funded through a $2.26 million state grant The property encompassing Fenn Farm and Sky Farm in the Cherry Hill Road section of Stockbridge was deeded to the tribe now based in Bowler The undeveloped land went on the market in 2022 for $3 million following the death of artist and author Clover Swann Her home was sold separately to Charlotte L Tribal leaders were not available for comment this week since any statements must be approved by the Tribal Council Tribal President Shannon Hosley has said that the land will be maintained as is In the early 1600s more than 25,000 Mohicans lived in the Upper Hudson Valley of New York and the Housatonic Valley of western New England “It’s sacred to us, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to be able to return home and have a place to call our own,” said Holsey at an August 2023 Stockbridge Town Hall announcement of the pending acquisition. “We are trying to reclaim our ways of being It is the reclamation of our kinship systems Those are all based on our relationship to the land.” She also said that the tribe would assess the land environmentally “to make sure she’s healthy and make sure she gets what her needs are what she needs from a land stewarding and climate change reduction endeavor.” The Stockbridge-Munsee will also resurrect its flag and return rocks to their original place “as messages to thank not only Massachusetts or the truth of our homeland but also to remind future generations that we always were here — that this is a place we always occupied.” Selectman Patrick White, a member of the recently formed Stockbridge-Mohican Commission has described the return of the tribal homeland as “a bold start to a new era We will endeavor to learn lessons from our ancestors while approaching reconciliation with the advantage of a contemporary view of the past.” In a Select Board letter two years ago supporting the acquisition White wrote that “this land features fields and forests and is included in bio-maps for wildlife corridors respect and fully support the Tribe’s efforts to return to their homeland with this bold acquisition.” "I am happy to hear that the acquisition of Fenn Farm has been finalized," said local resident Rich Bradway a member of the Stockbridge-Mohican Commission and the Stockbridge Land Trust "I welcome our neighbors and hope this is the start of bigger “Most people think our tribes are relics of the past,” Holsey has pointed out “We’re a 21st-century sovereign nation that still exists although not in our original ceded territory there’s no such thing as ‘The Last of the Mohicans.’ It’s really important to us to continue to robustly build our narrative making sure people know we still exist and we still have a very vested interest in our ceded territory.” • 1734: The 125-member Mohican tribe arrives at Indian Town (later Stockbridge) from its ancestral homelands in New York's Upper Hudson Valley creates a mission house to promote Christianity •1737: A land grant signed by Massachusetts Bay Colony "Governour" Jonathan Belcher gave 1/60 of the territory each to the Rev Schoolmaster Timothy Woodbridge and four English families with the rest designated as communal land for the Housatannuck tribe including Chief Popewannehah "John" Konkapot The tribe was known as the "Stockbridge Indians.” • 1783-early 1800s: More European colonists force the tribe to move westward where it renamed a settlement there as New Stockbridge where land it had been promised was occupied already by white families • 1822: After the tribe lost its next base most members moved to their current home within the Menominee Nation in northern Wisconsin where the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation was formed by treaty in 1856 • 2025: Aided by a $2.26 million state grant the tribe regains 372 acres of its original homeland at the northern tip of Monument Mountain in Stockbridge in a $2.5 million transaction with trustees of the Swann family landowners • Today: There are about 1,500 members in the federally recognized tribe of blended Mohican and Munsee natives About 750 are direct descendants of the Stockbridge Mohicans governed by a seven-member Tribal Council elected by the community on a 25,000-acre reservation in Wisconsin The tribe operates the Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center Mohican North Star Casino and Pine Hills Golf Course Stockbridge

314-acre site on Interlaken Road (Route 183) Attorney Jonathan Silverstein — representing Patrick Sheehan owner of the former DeSisto Estate at 35-37 Interlaken Road — presented a revised hotel and residential proposal to the Stockbridge Select Board last Thursday.  Stockbridge resort-residential developer Patrick Sheehan declined to estimate the cost of his proposed project at his 35-37 Interlaken Road (Route 183) site "Let's see what happens with the tariffs," he told The Eagle In response to an independent outside peer review and neighborhood pushback the revised plan cuts parking spaces and eliminates one of eight new hotel-residence buildings STOCKBRIDGE — Property owner Patrick Sheehan has revised his luxury resort and residential community proposal at the former DeSisto Estate following a critical peer review analysis and ongoing neighborhood opposition At a marathon Select Board meeting Thursday night representing Sheehan’s 35-37 Interlaken Road Realty Trust, outlined an array of project changes including a substantial reduction in total parking — a point of continued concern for many residents attending in person or via Zoom The revised proposal has 565 total parking spaces including a 50 percent reduction in “turf spaces” and a moderate cutback in garage and paved slots much of the parking is redirected to underground garages and it eliminates the front-lawn overflow parking and fencing for special events The revised plan also eliminates one of the eight proposed additional hotel-residential buildings, replacing it with single-family homes, and relocates another building farther behind the historic 1892 Cottage Era mansion Sheehan’s 35-37 Interlaken Road Realty Trust has applied for a special permit to build a mixed-use resort it would be the largest economic development in the town's history Silverstein proposed a timetable for the project to move forward starting with his formal response to the Beals Associates peer review's engineering comments expected this week followed by a continuation of the public hearing on May 1 and ending in a potential Select Board vote at a May 15 meeting Approval of the project requires a unanimous vote by the three-member board A 20-day appeal period follows the board’s approval Silverstein pushed back against the recent Beals Associates peer review that questioned whether zoning issues would allow project approval by the Select Board “We think the board has the discretion to approve the project as originally proposed,” he said Silverstein also pointed out that the town’s attorney had agreed that the board had approval authority The zoning interpretation issues are “a matter of law” and “water under the dam,” he said, noting that on Feb. 25 the Select Board had voted that Sheehan’s proposal is eligible under the town’s historic preservation bylaw for Cottage Era estates But Selectman Patrick White questioned his assertion that all those zoning interpretation questions are necessarily resolved White acknowledged that the revised proposal is a significant improvement, especially with the elimination of front-lawn parking and the reduction in buildings Close to 75 people attended in person or on Zoom Sheehan could build 62 single-family homes including some on the scenic mountain portion of the 314-acre property two miles south of Tanglewood Sheehan is only seeking to break even on a phased-in hotel and residential proposal citing soaring construction and material costs since the project was first proposed in 2016 The single-family homes would be the final phase “This is a passion project for him,” Silverstein said “This has been his vision for a long time and he wants to see it through This is not going to be a huge moneymaker.” Interlaken Road resident David Jameson voiced concern about potential overflow parking along the roadway is a legitimate community-wide quality of life concern Former Selectman Don Chabon questioned whether enough employees could be available to staff the resort if built and he predicted that the hourly pay would be unlikely to provide a living wage Representing abutter Dr. Allen Hyman, attorney Peter Puciloski, of Lazan Glover & Puciloski in Great Barrington contended that the Cottage Era project application is “fiction” because “there is no remaining cottage to be preserved What we’re talking about is demolition of the cottage and preservation of a facade After the nearly three-hour meeting concluded Sheehan declined to estimate the projected cost of the town’s largest development proposal “Let’s see what happens with the tariffs,” he told The Eagle Source: 35-37 Interlaken Road Realty Trust the property housing the former DeSisto School is seeking Select

“Eden Hill” since the Rev John Sergeant’s first Mission to the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians The Mission House was relocated to Main Street in Stockbridge in 1927 Visited by at least 50,000 pilgrims annually, the shrine typically attracts 15,000 to 20,000 worshippers from as far away as the Philippines to the Easter season’s Mercy Sunday gathering such as the recent World Marriage Day and Anointing of the Sick Under a section of the Massachusetts state law enacted in 1950 known as “The Dover Amendment” protecting religious and educational purposes the Marians can construct the project by right not requiring any town action other than a building permit “They’re allowed to do what they need to do within the religious exemptions on that property,” said Stockbridge Town Administrator Michael Canales “It’s such a large piece of land in terms of meeting any of our zoning regulations or anything else Only a building permit and connections for water and sewer were needed noting that town government was aware of it through the building It met all the requirements for a building permit under their by-right use by the kind of property they are showing their strength that they’re able to make such an improvement to their facilities within the town,” Canales said The amendment, named after a 1933 zoning dispute in the town of Dover, became part of the Massachusetts Zoning Act in 1950 It was drafted to help protect religious and nonprofit educational agencies from being discriminated against according to the Massachusetts Municipal Association in response to local zoning bylaws passed to prohibit religious schools within a town’s residential neighborhoods “An important factor to keep in mind is that activities associated with ‘religious’ and ‘educational’ purposes are not always embraced in communities,” said Stan Corcoran executive vice president of the municipal association 1855: Eden Park is purchased by David Dudley Field Jr a successful
