Experts researching fossils and rocks on the Churchill coastline BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Manitoba Museum’s curator of paleontology Graham Young is currently researching the shores of Churchill. Young has been working with the museum for the past 22 years. Last year, Young was in Churchill with Michelle Nicolas, from the Manitoba Geological Survey, and this year he’s back with a larger group of experts who are looking for a few different things. “Basically we have have been visiting a series of sites where we know limestone and related bedrock are well exposed, and we have been studying the successions of sedimentary beds and collecting samples of rocks and fossils for further study in the laboratory,” Young explained. The experts are from the Manitoba and Ontario geological surveys, Laurentian University, the University of Manitoba and the University of Saskatchewan. Young noted that everyone has a different type of skill they’re bringing to the table. “Some are knowledgeable about how the rocks are ‘put together’ in Northern Manitoba and associated areas, others know about how to interpret the ancient environments in which sedimentary rocks were deposited, and a few of us are fossil specialists. We plan to work together in future to make better sense of some of these very interesting rocks.” The research is happening in Northern Manitoba because Churchill is one of the best places in the world to examine rocks from the late Ordovician and early Silurian periods, between 400 and 500 million years ago, Young explained. “This was an important time in the history of our planet, because the ﬁrst of the big extinctions in the history of life took place then. There was an ice age, with a huge glacier on the South Pole causing sea levels to drop drastically all over the world, a lot of water got frozen into the ice.

Manitoba was tropical, believe it or not, and was covered by shallow, warm seas that were rich in life. When the ice age happened, the shallow seas all dried up and many life forms became extinct.” The research is taking place using helicopters, as well as vehicles to explore the coastal rocks. Young says the results have been fantastic, and the experts have visited all the sites they had in mind. Young noted the only polar bears seen were from the air, which was nice because field work in Churchill can be intimidating due to the creatures. The group arrived in Churchill on Aug. 11, and has finished the group part of the work. Workers have been putting their samples into plastic pails and pallets to ship down south. Young says he’ll be staying in the north for another week with Dave Rudkin from the Royal Ontario Museum, as well as Michael Cuggy from the University of Saskatchewan. The three will be doing further work on fossils around the Churchill area. Findings from the research completed will be published in scientific journals as well as geological survey reports. This means the information will be available to other scientists and the provincial and federal government. Young says he hopes to share his findings on the website and maybe even different exhibits. “We also try to contribute to northern knowledge and awareness of the geology of this wonderful place, through collaborations with organizations like the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, the Eskimo Museum, and Parks Canada; we have collected fossils in the past that are on exhibit at the Eskimo Museum, and they are planning some new exhibits about those. The fossils we have collected this time will be placed in the permanent collection of the Manitoba Museum, to be kept in perpetuity for the people of Manitoba.”

Ofﬁcer reports on community bear situation

Marc Jackson

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Snow Lake Conservation Officer (CO) Seth Cholodnuik attended the Aug. 4 town council meeting as a delegation and facilitated a question-and-answer session with council on the bear situation around the community. The CO began noting that from April of this year to present, his office had fielded 61 DOR’s (District Occurrence Reports), 21 of which were black bearrelated. He said that the trailer court and Brentwood areas of Snow Lake seem to be the most problematic locations and many issues with bears result from careless practices dealing with household/business garbage. He stressed that much of the problem could be curtailed, but people need to be reminded to only put garbage out on

the morning of their pickup. Cholodnuik stated that Conservation hadn’t trapped any bears as yet, but have dispatched (shot) three. One of these was being fed by a Main Street business (they received an apology for this from the business owner) and when trying to get it out of the area, it became aggressive with the ofﬁcer. Another was shot after a Sunset Bay subdivision business – which he said has garbage issues – called with numerous complaints of a bear that wouldn’t leave the area. The third bear was dispatched near the trailer court after several complaints of it being close to some homes and the doors of others. He stated that the bear had become habituated to household garbage and bangers and stingers had no effect on it. The ofﬁcer advised that the animals that were put down were shot only as a last resort and when it was safe to do so … in the perfect spot, with no chance of humans coming in range. He reiterated that the department does not like to dispatch problem bears; however, sometimes they are left with little choice. When making calls, he normally counsels people on their garbage practices, noting that he has the

He said that he will begin doing this from now on. Cholodnuik asked if anyone on council had questions. Mayor Kim Stephen stated that she was an animal lover and was not pleased to see bears shot in town. “It’s not the bear’s fault, it is people’s fault,” she said. “Putting fish guts in garbage cans.” She asked why tranquilizer guns were not used instead. Cholodnuik said that no one local is certified on their use and someone would have to be sent in from Flin Flon or The Pas. Stephen stated that Red Lake/Balmertown, Ont. have bylaws requiring people only put their garbage out on the morning of pickup and regularly wash their garbage cans. “Perhaps this would work for us,” she pondered. The officer said that he wanted to be clear that there are many people who do a great job with their garbage … “But there are others that are not so great.” Having said that, he noted that 90 per cent of the calls they field are the result of problems people bring on themselves with

“poor bear habits.” Coun. Jodi Wilson asked if people who were continual offenders would get orders from Conservation. Cholodnuik replied, “Yes, particularly one business.” Coun. Forsyth Flamand stated that she doesn’t put her garbage out until she has to and still has a bear in or near her yard every night and sometimes all night. The ofﬁcer stated that her neighbour’s practices are likely the problem and that bears become habituated to easy food. Cholodnuik noted that the major bear problem for the community results from the landﬁll being too close to the town, but added that thoughtless and indolent people exacerbated the problem. Coun. Robin Turnbull stated that as the father of two young children, he was happy that Conservation was taking care of problem bears. Turnbull also asked for a more indepth explanation on the bear dispatched near Main Street. Cholodnuik said that the bear was being fed by a Main Street business and that when he came upon it, the bear had already been on the street for a half hour. Conservation used bear bangers on it, but the animal kept returning. He followed it into the bush and the bear circled back on him. When he approached and threw a rock at it, the bear would not back off, so it was shot. The CO added that the department has a protocol on bear behaviour and usually stick to it unless the animal becomes aggressive.

Conservatives promise 700 more Junior Canadian Rangers if re-elected BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Junior Canadian Ranger program will expand by 15 per cent to a total of 5,000 members if the Conservative party is re-elected in the Oct. 19 federal election, Stephen Harper announced Aug. 14. The expansion would be complete by the time the program celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2018. “The Canadian Rangers and Junior Canadian Rangers make a vital contribution to community safety and national sovereignty in Canada’s northern and remote regions,” said Harper in a press release. “The Junior Canadian Rangers program also strengthens northern families and communities, by giving youth a sense of responsibility, identity and loyalty.” Established in 1998 after a two-year trial program involving 10 Inuit youth, the Junior Canadian Ranger program for 12- to 18-year-olds in 135 northern, coastal and isolated areas of Canada provides participants with the opportunity to learn

traditional skills, life skills and Ranger skills. It is afﬁliated with the Canadian Rangers, who support national security and public safety by acting as the military’s eyes and ears in remote parts of Canada. Junior Canadian Rangers are active in six Northern Manitoba communities, including Lac Brochet, Lynn Lake, Snow Lake, Churchill, Shamattawa and St. Theresa Point. Together, these programs have 165 youth participants and 47 afﬁliated committee members, volunteers and elders. The longest-running program is Lynn Lake’s, which began in 2001, while the largest is Lac Brochet’s, which has 44 Junior Canadian Rangers, seven adult committee members and one elder. Canada-wide there are 4,271 Junior Canadian Rangers. Harper also announced that, if re-elected, the Conservatives would let Canadian Rangers keep their Lee Enfield rifles, which are set to be replaced by new C-19 rifles. “The new C-19 rifles

Today is one year since the family of Tina Fontaine received word their beloved Tina had been murdered. On behalf of the Chiefs of First Nations in Manitoba, I wish to offer the Fontaine-Favel families our sincere condolences. This includes for the other ﬁve families at Sagkeeg First Nation – and all the families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). In offering our prayers of support, I am certain this year that it is also shared with the people of Winnipeg including the police. The hundreds of us who walked from the Alexander docks to the Forks evidenced this last year. What has changed now that one year has passed? Still, no one has been charged for Tina’s murder. Families are once again

on the Red River to “Drag the Red,” and asking for donations on GoFundMe to buy a boat and expand their search. The police watch for their safety but refuse to assist in dragging the Red. It is the women, men and families who are doing the work – with forensic expert assistance from a scientist from the University of Brandon. Since last September, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) has worked with families of MMIWG, Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO), the Southern Chiefs Organizstions (SCO), the Public Interest Law Centre and a pro bono legal team and others to ﬁrst listen to those families in order to identify what can be done immediately including developing a process including an inquiry. In July this year, the Chiefs in Assembly passed a resolution endorsing the ﬁnal report

a symbol of our nation’s gratitude for their dedication and commitment.” The Canadian Rangers have about 5,000 members in more than 200 communities across the country.

One year since Tina Fontaine’s death and more support is needed BY CHIEF CATHY MERRICK

Families First: A Manitoba Indigenous Approach to Addressing the Issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. In May this year, a foundation was established to assist families of MMIWG. The Families First Foundation was provincially incorporated with a mandate to educate the public on the needs of families of MMIWG and co-ordinate the delivery of religious, spiritual, emotional, cultural and ﬁnancial support directly to affected families. At the beginning of June this year, the AMC announced our new First Nations Family Advocate office – a first in Canada. One of the important components in dealing with MMIWG is recognizing the connection with the Child and Family Services (CFS) system, elements of the

work that this office will do. On June 20 during activities for Aboriginal Day in Winnipeg, AMC and the Families First Foundation inaugural fundraiser raised $5,000 through a Blanket Dance from the University of Winnipeg to the Forks. While over the course of the last year the AMC and First Nation leadership have responded to the tragedy of Tina Fontaine and other MMIWG, it is clear that this issue needs wider support from the general citizenry in Manitoba and across the country. Indeed, reconciliation demands a new relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to obtain a healthy future for all our children and families. Ekosani.

AMC and AFN support First Nations’ court battle against financial transparency act BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

First Nations from Saskatchewan and Alberta that are challenging the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) in federal court in Saskatoon have the support of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) regional chief for Manitoba as well as the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC). “First Nations do not oppose accountability or transparency but we will be accountable to our citizens ﬁrst,” said AFN Manitoba Regional Chief Kevin Hart of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) in an Aug. 18 press release. “Bill C-27 is a ﬂawed and heavy-handed approach that violates our treaty and aboriginal rights that are recognized in Canada’s own constitution. It is forcing First Nations that generate their own revenue to disclose information that could put them at a competitive disadvantage. This is the wrong approach and it does nothing to deal with the government’s lack of accountability to First Nations and Canadians for its poor and mismanaged

spending. That’s why we support this legal action.” The Sawridge Band from Alberta and Onion Lake First Nation from Saskatchewan are seeking a federal court injunction on the grounds that the FNFTA violates aboriginal and treaty rights as well as sections of the constitution banning discrimination and entrenching the rights of aboriginal peoples. AFN said the federal government announced Aug. 3 that it would launch legal action against First Nations that had not complied with the terms of the FNFTA, which requires them to publish audited consolidated ﬁnancial statements and salary schedules on the Internet. “We ﬁrmly stand with treaty communities who believe that accountability and transparency is a fundamental feature of selfdetermination and responsible self-government, not a coercive tool to be used by the federal government to control or oppress the economic growth potential of indigenous communities,” AMC acting Grand Chief Cathy Merrick said in a news release Aug. 19.

and Onion Lake First Nation are two of 10 First Nations, including the Dakota Tipi Band and Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation Government in Manitoba, that did not publish the required information for the 201314 fiscal year. The federal government filed court applications against them as well as the Athabasca Dene, Ochapwace and Thunderchild First Nations in December of last year, the AMC says, as well as suspending “nonessential” funding to noncompliant First Nations First Nations are supposed to published financial statements and salaries for the preceding fiscal year online by July 29 or 120 days after the end of the fiscal year if they have a fiscal year that ends on a date other than March 31. As of Aug. 17, 253 First Nations had not yet posted the required information online for the 201415 fiscal year, according to the federal government. They include Barren Lands, Bunibonibee Cree Nation, Cross Lake First Nation, Fox Lake, Garden Hill First Nations, God’s Lake First Nation, Manto Sipi Cree Nation, Marcel

Colomb Cree Nation, NCN, Northlands First Nation, O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Red Sucker Lake, Sayisi Dene First Nation, Shamattawa First Nation, St. Theresa Point, War Lake First Nation, Wasagamack First Nation and York Factory First Nation in Northern Manitoba. “Many First Nations have been making their ﬁnancial information available to their citizens for decades,” said Hart. “This is another example of the federal government spending millions to ﬁght First Nations in court when we should be working together to support strong, healthy First Nations people and governments.” Hart planned to attend the hearings, which began Aug. 19, along with AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde, AFN Yukon Regional Chief Mike Smith and AFN Northwest Territory Regional Chief Bill Erasmus. Hart was elected as AFN Manitoba regional chief at the AMC annual assembly in July. AFN is a national organization representing First Nations citizens in Canada.

Northeast the only region with forest ﬁres burning as of Aug. 19 BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Forest ﬁres continue to burn in Manitoba, though the numbers are far down from earlier in the season when smoke from ﬁres in this province and in Saskatchewan blanketed much of Northern Manitoba.

Twenty fires were burning as of Aug. 19, all in the province’s northeast region. Four of the fires were not seeing any action, 13 were being watched, one was under control and two were out of control. Two fires had been extinguished in

the previous 24 hours. One in the northwest region and one in the eastern region had also been put out since Aug. 18. Fifty-one firefighters, three helicopters, two water bombers and three other aircraft were fighting fires in the northeast on Aug.

19. There have been 449 ﬁres in Manitoba as of Aug. 18, including 206 in the northeast and 86 in the northwest. The area burned in the northwest totalled 22,838 hectares, while 16,489 hectares have burned in the northeast.

Your search is over.
