Eagle’s Nest leadership banned from Six Nations

By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS – A group of community members delivered a statement on Sunday morning telling the non-native leadership of Eagle’s Nest, a church on Tuscarora Road, that they are no longer welcome at Six Nations.

This action, taken by a group of former church members and their supporters, comes in the wake of allegations that the leadership of Eagle’s Nest-Six Nations, a satellite church of Eagle Worldwide Ministries, has been spiritually and emotionally abusing and bullying members of the Six Nations community.

Faith Martin, a 27 year old Mohawk Christian woman from Six Nations, said she was humiliated and shamed publicly by Pastor Ginette Gaudreau and Melanie Guathier last October when she tried to go to the church basement with her children to breastfeed her infant son.

“I told the kids, ’Go downstairs. I’ll be down soon.

I’ve got to nurse the baby anyways’.” said Faith.

Faith said she was told

by Guathier that she was not allowed to go to the basement. Confused, Faith asked if there was a new rule about breastfeeding downstairs. “I hadn’t been there in months because I had a new baby. These people were like my family so every time I see them they give me a big hug, but this time as soon as I walked in no one even looked at me, nobody talked to me.”

Pastor Mark Gaudreau and Pastor Ginette Gaudreau. PHOTO - EAGLES NEST SIX NATIONS FACEBOOK PAGE Faith asked what was going on and why she was not allowed to go downstairs to nurse her baby. Faith said she was ashamed in front of the entire congregation by this and stepped out of the church to compose herself. waved “[Gaudreau] me away like she was the queen.” said Faith. Once they got outside, Faith said that the two French-Canadian female pastors walked back into the building, closed the doors and locked Faith along with her newborn son, seven year old niece and nine year old son out of the church. “I was standing close enough to the door that I saw the metal bolt go in and they’d locked the door. Then on the other side you could hear [Gaudreau and Guathier] yelling at each other in French inside the main entrance. We had jackets on but it was cold. My niece was so nervous her hands were shaking.”

This past Sunday in the presence of the entire congregation; Faith Martin publicly addressed Pastor Ginette Gaudreau,

her husband Pastor Mark Melaand Gaudreau nie Guathier, the three non-native members of leadership at Eagle’s NestSix Nations and told them they had to leave.

Martin read from a prepared statement saying, “I stand here today as the Mohawk woman that was dishonoured on my own territory in my own place of worship.” The young mother broke down in tears for a moment but continued, saying “With the support of many spiritual leaders, officials and community members of Six Nations; I respectfully and officially ask that Pastors Mark & Ginette Gaudreau and Melanie Guathier leave Six Nations territory immediately for you are now banned from Six Nations.”

The decision to evict the three members of leadership from Eagle’s Nest-Six Nations was not only based on Faith Martin’s negative experience.

Pam Sault another woman from Six Nations/New Credit said that during a church service Pastor Mark Gaudreau, who is

a resident of Caledonia and whose home faces Kanohnstaton, spoke against the people of Six Nations while preaching.

“He called us terrorists. He called our flags terrorist flags. This was on a Friday night during a service when I was there.” said Sault. “He come right out and he said ‘…why do they have to go around covering their faces, they’re terrorists and those flags are terrorist flags’.”

The website for Eagle’s Nest-Six Nations reads, “Wherever you are in your life’s journey, whoever you are, you can count on one thing – you will be loved and valued here.” The church is an offshoot of Eagle Worldwide Ministries, an independent apostolic church organization located in Copetown, Ontario under the direction of Dr. Russ Moyer and his wife Mave Moyer.

Faith Martin’s mother, Arlene Martin, said she feels it is the responsibility of the Martin family to lead this action as they were initially the host family who brought Eagle Worldwide Ministries to

Six Nations. “I feel spiritually responsible because I invited them down here.” said Arlene. “I’m the one that found them and I’m the one that got them the building.”

Arlene said she was spiritually abused by the Gaudreau’s. Shortly after Arlene’s son was diagnosed with leukaemia, the Gaudreau’s invited her to their home for a prayer meeting. It was during that meeting Arlene says the church Pastors accused her of being spiritually dirty, telling her she was too involved with the son who had just been diagnosed with cancer.

Arlene Martin broke down in tears and told the Two Row Times when she got up to leave that meeting she was confronted. “[Ginette] came over and kneeled on the floor… looked me in the eye and she said, ‘Look me in the eye!’ I said, ‘No!’ Ginette said, ‘If you don’t look me in the eye you’ll never come up in leadership in

this church.’ I felt like a dog.”

Arlene said this abusive spirit was familiar to her. Her father went to residential school and the experience influenced his parenting. Arlene said, “We were used to fear and intimidation and being kept under thumb. So all the time I was there, for four years, it felt comfortable to me because that is how I was raised. It took my girlfriend’s coming in, and Pam noticing some things, and other healthier people noticing things, and then I said, ‘Oh my goodness! This is wrong!”

The Martin family told the Two Row Times they received messages from others on Six Nations who stated they were mistreated by Eagle Worldwide Ministries and the satellite church Eagle’s NestSix Nations. Those reports were enough for the family and their supporters to take action to remove the ...CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Boots arrested minutes before CBSA takeover

NOTICE OF INITIAL DESIGN REPORT Highway 7 New – Kitchener to Guelph G.W.P. 408-88-00 The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has developed the Initial Design for Highway 7 New, an 18 km four-lane divided freeway between Highway 85 (Kitchener-Waterloo Expressway) in Kitchener easterly to Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway) in Guelph as shown on the Key Plan below (G.W.P. 408-88-00). The Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) for this new route was documented in the 2004 Highway 7 Kitchener to Guelph Amendment to the Environmental Assessment Report (1997) and was approved by the Minister of the Environment with conditions in March 2007. Design improvements developed from the Value Engineering (VE) Study were presented at two Public Information Centres held on May 3, 2011 (Kitchener) and May 5, 2011 (Guelph) and documented in a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) to amend the approved Individual EA. The TESR received environmental clearance on October 22, 2012. The Initial Design further develops and refines the approved EA design and incorporation of the VE design improvements.

By Steve da Silva Only minutes before the planned takeover of an empty Canadian Border Services Agency building in Akwesasne, Stacey Boots was arrested for his participation in the Tyendinega rail blockade on International Women’s Day earlier in the month. That blockade capped more than a week of actions that aimed to pressure the Federal government to launch a full inquiry into missing and murdered Onkwehon:we women.

But the arrest hasn’t led Stacey to downplay his support for Tyendinega’s action, for which he’s been charged with mischief. “I was in support of Tyendinega’s action, and they apparently put out an arrest warrant for me. I do support Shawn [Brant] and the men and women of Tyendinega for their actions to bring about an inquiry for the missing and murdered women in Canada. I supported them and I continue to support them, and that’s what the warrant was for.”

Stacey had learned about the outstanding warrant prior to his arrest, but chose not to turn himself in, since to do so would be to recognize the jurisdiction of the OPP. “This is sovereign land, and they [the Mohawk Akwesasne police department] committed treason by executing that warrant.”

The week was also marked by two completely unrelated deaths in the community that may have changed the dynamic of the action, which Stacey Boots acknowledged led him to “not want to continue. It was going to be a difficult day. But I was going to take it over, make it a quiet day, and be on our way. But the bridge authority scared everybody. We weren’t intending to block any roads, and traffic was going to move freely. So our community members could have went to the funerals.”

MARCH 26TH, 2014

Stacey Boots of Akwesasne.

“Band Council was saying over the radio that the bridge authority has a policy that if there was any protesting, peaceful protesting, or any disturbance of traffic that they were going to shut the bridges down.

By saying that over the radio, that scared a lot of people, that they were going to miss their appointments, that this was going to disrupt their movements back and forth. None of my intentions were to block the roads. I was exercising my sovereign right to take over a building that was abandoned five years ago. By this warrant, they sidestepped the issue and forcefully took me away from my community,” Stacey told TRT. Asked what his next steps were, Stacey said “At this point, I have conditions. I’m trying to figure out what my next step is. I am going to continue on and make plans to find out who exactly owns that land.” The land in question that the CBSA building sits on was acquired from Stacey’s great-grandfather Paul Caldwell in the late 1950s.

Stacey Boots informed TRT he had a letter indicating that the Mohawk Council of Awkesasne was planning to remove the People’s Fire building before the end of the year. So the struggle over the customs house and the People’s Fire building across from it is far from over.

Quebec referendum talk spurs band council response

By Charles Kader

AKWESASNE – Recent comments by Quebec provincial leaders regarding the possibility of Quebec leaving Canada have led to a First Nation backlash. Some Mohawk band councils wasted no time in putting their two cents in following the referendum speculation. The Quebec provincial election takes place on Monday, April 7, 2014.

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) came out of the chutes first with a media release on the matter. The MCA informed the public that their federally-funded government would hold their own referendum on secession if the province of Quebec went its own way.

“If Quebec ultimately chooses to separate, I would advise our Council and community to hold our own vote in order to determine whether we would stay within the borders of Quebec or separate ourselves,” said MCA Grand Chief Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell in the statement.

The next day, the of Council Mohawk Kahnawa:ke (MCK) also offered their own response to the possibility of a Parti Quebecois majority government in Quebec.

“We absolutely will not recognize the authority of a Quebec nation,” Kahnawa:ke Mohawk Chief Mike Delisle said in published reports. “We don’t normally weigh in on provincial or federal politics, but the prospect of a referendum is disturbing to us. It undermines our historic claims to nationhood,” stated the Grand Chief of Kahnawa:ke. Census estimates place the number of First Nation citizens at over 100,000 within Quebec, including Mohawk, Cree, Innu and Inuit nations.

“Quebec can decide what it wants in terms of its culture, its identity and its development,” said Ghislain Picard, chief of the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador. “But it cannot claim sovereignty over a territory which still fundamentally belongs to First Nations.”

The political rhetoric has not gone unnoticed by members of the Kanienke-

ha:ka longhouses.

“How can a federally-controlled band council secede from anything when it is reliant upon an outside government for funding?” wondered Andy Kader Rahionhanon:na (Turtle Clan), who has ties in both Kahnawake and Akwesasne. “This does not pass the smell test,” stated Kader.

The relationships between the MCA and the MCK with Quebec have often left their band members uneasy with the costs of such alliances.

In 2012, MCK Chief Lloyd Phillips advocated

for the assistance of the Quebec provincial police Surete du Quebec (SQ) to train a special weapons and tactics unit (SWAT) of the Kahnawa:ke Peacekeepers. The request was made to combat “organized crime” alleged to have infiltrated the Kahnawa:ke Reserve.

Both band memberships were targeted in 1994 during planning for the aborted “Operation Scorpion Saxon.” That plan saw invasion orders drawn up that included 2,000 SQ officers, as well as members of the RCMP and the Canadian armed

forces. The operation was sidelined when readiness training secrecy was lost.

The effort was later minimized into an anti-tobacco measure. Surveillance of the reserves by the secretive Canadian military unit known as Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2) was included in this planning.

All of this stinks, according to Andy Kader.

“We need to see some real guts displayed within the Kanienkehaka homeland of Kanienke. There are too many people who are just getting by who seem resigned that this is the best that we can carve out of

the present political atmosphere. We need to thrive to survive in the Twenty-First century,” Kader remarked.

The father of three has studied the independent economic options for Kahnawake and Akwesasne. Most involve a usage of the St. Lawrence River.

“International port authorities could be formed at Akwesasne and at Kahnawake to assist with the movement of goods between the communities. The safety inspection of ships in the international waterway could be imposed in that zone. An

export code for Kanienke also could be applied for.

International goods could then be imported directly to each Kanienkehaka port of entry,” explained Kader.

“We could even export our own industries that way,” he said. “That is the only true way to independence, if we can feed and pay our own people to work for our people. Otherwise we are beans to be counted by another government, like it is now.”

Author’s note - Charles Kader the writer and Andy Kader the interview subject are brothers from the same family.

terview process was very grueling as he had to go through five stages which combined, took about a month and a half.

When asked if he still gets nervous before presenting his culinary cuisine, he sated he does not, “I treat everyone like a priority, no one is better then anyone else. I try and promote appetite for my customers also. I bring up tastes and smells from their childhood and that

is the biggest satisfaction in this job for me.”

With a group of about 15 people, the Native Canadian Center of Toronto (NCCT) enjoyed a retreat at The Bears Inn last weekend while completing training for Non-Violent Crisis Intervention and Policy Development for their new Supportive Housing Program of Toronto. NCCT’s ENAGB Program Manager, Cynthia Bell stated that the

mandate of the NCCT is to, ‘help our youth. I have an awesome team and everyone is all doing an amazing job. Our youth are getting jobs, going to school and getting trained.’

O Gwa deni:deo “Taking Care of Our Own” Call for Commission Members

By Jen MtPleasant SIX NATIONS – Renowned Gwich’in/Tuscarora Chef, Rich Francis, who is also currently starring in Top Chef Canada, was at The Bears Inn last Saturday evening, cooking up a delicious culinary masterpiece for the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto.

On the menu was: Beets with Spring Vegetables with Rich’s signature Sweetgrass Vinaigrette, Butternut Squash & Apple Soup with Seared Scallops and Niagara Bruschetta, Bison Ribeye with Grains, Morel & Cloudberry and Boar Bacon Corn Bread & Maple Walnut Ice Cream.

Chef Francis produced lots of smiling faces and taste buds were watering as each plate was served to nothing less then perfection.

Francis gave an interview to the Two Row Times as he was preparing his four-course meal. When asked how we would describe being on Top Chef Canada, Francis stated it was, “Pretty intense for sure.” Although he wasn’t surprised at how intense it was, as after all, “it is a cooking competition.”

Even though Francis’

culinary strength is in Aboriginal cuisine, he is very familiar with international flavours as well, which helped him stay in the competition last week when everyone was given an Asian dish to prepare.

When asked if he gets nervous cooking in front of the judges on the show, he stated that he did not.

However, cooking for David Chang and Masaharu Morimoto was ‘nerve racking,’ for him. Rich’s wife Sherisa was also at The Bears Inn, giving him a hand. When asked what her favorite food was that her husband cooks for her, Sherisa was quick to say, “Braised short ribs.”

Francis is the owner of Aboriginal Culinary Concepts, a catering business that he started back in 2010. Since his debut on Top Chef Canada, Francis has seen a spike in his business not only in the Aboriginal community but the non-Aboriginal community as well and from all over, “Niagara on the Lake, the GTA and Dundas to name a few,” explained Francis.

Francis is currently planning on opening his own restaurant in Ottawa. When asked what type of food will be on his menu, Francis stat-

Justification

The world is a great big place and everyone has a part to play. We are born into this reality free from bias. How we choose to live our lives is based upon personal decisions and opportunity.

Our environment helps shape those decisions and timing can sometimes be everything.

Through our journeys in this existence, we travel roads that are full of twists and turns, one misstep can cause us to lose our way. One misstep can have us wish-

ing we could go back to the beginning and start all over again. Our first contact with Europeans is a prime example. First contact begs the question, were we wrong to extend our hands?

When the pilgrims arrived here in 1492 and started dying from hunger and cold; should we have helped them?

After all, we now have a holiday named Thanksgiving based upon these events. We choose to help them learn how to

FREE THE EAGLES

Elected Council (EC) and the Confederacy Council (CC)/Haudenosaunnee Institute Development (HDI) make deals on behalf of the community and both councils should be held to the same standards of accountability.

But that doesn’t happen.

Oh yes, rest assured the EC is held accountable but when it comes to the CC/HDI the community and the media close a blind eye.

The EC holds comprehensive community engagement sessions on a proposed project.

Agreeably the turnout at the community sessions is dismal but the EC also gives people various other ways to voice their concerns and opinions.

That’s more than what can be said for the CC/ HDI. The CC/HDI has authorized Hazel Hill to sign two agreements that we know of: Capital Power and Pattern Renewable Energy without any consultation with the people. That’s right the CC has given Hazel, who

Letter to the Editors

It’s funny that an eagle comes onto an Indian reserve and right away a white man screams “that’s my eagle.” If it was his eagle, I’m glad it’s free and broke its chains.

There are 5-7 eagles nesting on Six Nations. Free eagles. Nature can still live here. It’s our eagle now to protect. Our job is to ensure it remains free.

A 20-year-old eagle needs to be free. The dude needs to try a dog or a cat now.

If he didn’t use “his” birds to hunt or feed his family, then he can’t call himself a falconer. The birds are just captive. Init?

DOUBLE STANDARDS

In speaking only for myself and not the rest of the Elected Council, I believe there is a double standard in our community when it comes to accommodation deals with developers wanting to develop on our land and I’m fed up with it. Both the

survive on Turtle Island.

Natives opened their hearts and did what comes naturally to us.

We shared.

Our reward for living according to our Great Peace was to be shunted onto reservations. The theft of our lands was another ‘bonus’ we received towards our eradication.

The British North America Act and Indian Act further supported and developed the path of destruction Canada/The United Kingdom choose.

According to the Indian Act, reason stated that they (Canada/The United Kingdom) were

helping us savages. In the majority of circumstances, reason is the basis of justification.

But is justification equal to justice?

No. Justification does in no way equate with what is right. Innate to every person born is a sense of right and wrong. The relationship of good and bad, right and wrong, honest and dishonest are all synonymous with what we deem to be correct behaviour. Based upon this statement, is what the settler governments doing moral or immoral? The obvious answer is bad, wrong, dishon-

est and immoral. At the end of this road, lies the answer as to whether or not we should have extended our hands.

Although the answer might not seem logical, the answer is yes. We, Onhkwehonh:we, have a responsibility to live by our Kayenerah:koa, our Great Peace. Good conscience would not allow us to watch other human beings suffer. When it became obvious that we would be living side by side on Turtle Island and had differing values and ideas we made treaties.

One of the most famous treaties made was the Two Row Wampum. In

1613, more than 400 years ago, the Onhkwehonh:we signed a treaty with the Dutch. In simple language this treaty talks about living and existing side by side in Peace, Friendship and Respect, for one cannot follow without the other. The treaty is in effect as long as the sun shall shine, the rivers flow, the grass grows green…

A basic tenent of this treaty is non-interference. We know that we have acted correctly and according to our conscience. Now the real question is, can Canada say the same?

Both deals are to fetch millions of dollars over 20 years for the CC. And not a word said from the community or the media about the lack of community consultation.

I’d be willing to bet most people don’t even know Hazel signed these agreements on their behalf.

The EC signed the final Samsung deal in public. Right now Council has advertised the approval of Gunn’s Hill Wind Farm and the Port Ryerse Wind project for everyone to read. Council just completed a public engagement session on the ProWind and Borolax projects. More information is on our website.

On the other hand what the CC/HDI does is take a few chiefs and maybe a couple clan mothers to the meetings with developers and call that consulting. Geez that sounds Stephen Harperish doesn’t it? Even I

know that isn’t how the traditional system works.

The Iroquois Confederacy is touted as the “oldest democracy in the world” but where is the “democracy” when the chiefs are excluding the people? I’m hearing the chiefs won’t even listen to the Clan Mothers. And whatever happened to Consensus which is the foundation of the traditional system? But why isn’t the CC/HDI willing to be aboveboard and willing to share the development deals with the community like the EC does? What is their reason for not wanting to do that?

Are people aware the CC/HDI makes developers agree to Five-Year Non-Disclosure conditions in their agreements? This means the CC/HDI or any of the partners cannot tell the community for five years what the agreement says.

Are people aware the CC/ HDI makes the developer and partners agree to not publish any part of the agreement in the

newspapers or any other publication? Is there something in the agreements the CC/HDI doesn’t want the community to know about? The EC does not have these conditions stipulated in their signed agreements.

Why doesn’t Council negotiate for 50% ownership people ask? Why isn’t Council asking for more education money people ask? The provincial government has what is called a Consultation List for developers. This list includes the EC and the CC. It’s a government tactic called Divide and Conquer. The developers know this means they will have to not only cut a deal with the EC but fork over money to the CC/ HDI as well. Now if the CC were willing to team up with the EC we could demand 50%. The provincial government does not know the CC/HDI do not consult with the community.

Of late Council is hearing that Local 736 members and trades people in our community are

angry because Council hasn’t ensured employment opportunities in the accommodation deals. I can understand their anger. We do require that Six Nations people are hired but unfortunately, the EC has no direct involvement with the hiring of contractors or sub-contractors. But this is an important issue and we need to find a way to write the hiring of Six Nations Ironworkers and trades people in stone.

Do we know if the HDI negotiated the hiring of Six Nations people other than archeologist monitors? No we don’t.

But to my knowledge no one is questioning that.

Isn’t the point of negotiating an accommodation deal so the whole community benefits? When the CC/HDI starts getting millions of dollars on our behalf it’s time for people to take off the blinders and start holding the CC/ HDI accountable.

Seeking the return of the Manitou Stone

By Tim Reynolds

Anna Faulds is Dene Suline from Lue’ Chok Tue’ (Cold Lake, AB) who grew up in and currently resides in Edmonton, Alberta. Anna appears on the APTN series Blackstone as Teresa the band council office manager. Anna is currently involved with the return of one of the most sacred items of the Cree and Blackfoot peoples – the Manitou Stone. It fell to mother earth a long time ago and marked the peace between two warring nations (the Blackfoot and the Cree). It was situ-

ated on a hill named Iron Creek on the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border. The stone is also known as old man buffalo or Pi-wa-piskoo (ironstone in Cree). It sat between their territories, and the elders said that if it was ever removed, war would commence, there would be famine and disease, and the buffalo would disappear from the land.

In 1869 a missionary, Reverend George McDougall, removed the stone from the hill where it had rested for so long. After this war, disease, and famine followed. The peoples

GOOD NEWS OR A SET-UP FOR FAILURE? Dear editors, Recently, the West Hill United Church got an answer from the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to its Petition (see Two Row Times, Sept.

4, 2013, P. 5). While analysing it, we took time to delve into the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act announced February 7th, 2014, in Calgary.

West Hill is one of many non-Onkwehon:we and Onkwehon:we groups to protest the education funding gap for students on reserves. The Walpole Island Elementary school principal wrote in the Toronto Star, January 14, 2013, that $11,000 per student is spent on education in Ontario compared to $6,000 per student spent by the feds for reserve students.

The West Hill Petition demanded the 2% limit on yearly increases to Aboriginal Affairs core programs be lifted.

The 2% cap has slowly strangled native communities since 1996. We called for increases for primary and secondary education, housing, potable water, child and family services, health

and social programs and other basic needs to a level that attains equality between Onkwehon:we and non-Onkwehon:we people in Canada.

Naturally, we were glad to see the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act purports to: give greater control over First Nations Education to First Nations; and, lock in a new 4.5% yearly increase, ending the 2% cap.

When we saw that the increase is not to start until 2016-17, we were reminded of the Kelowna Accord. That was when a Liberal government promised to deal with the urgent needs on reserves. Once the Liberals were defeated, Harper cancelled it. The right of native children to an education equal to their peers in Canada should not depend on any government party being re-elected.

Since Canada is a story of treaties broken and promises not kept, the time for words has run out. It’s time for action.

Sincerely, Steve Watson

of these nations and the buffalo populations both dramatically declined almost to the point of extinction for both. Reverend Mcdougall lost two daughters to smallpox as well.

The reason the missionaries took the stone away was because it hindered the forced conversion of the Blackfoot and the Cree to become Christians. It is considered a powerful medicine and a sacred entity to both these nations to this day.

The Manitou stone has travelled across Canada many times throughout the centuries. Its current

resting place is at the Royal Alberta Museum close to its original home but it is held in iron shackles, with a small placard instructing people to not leaving offerings in front of it. One side of it looks exactly like a human face in profile, the rest of it like a buffalo, with a thick, curly hide.

Anna Faulds is currently in the process of organizing a meeting to press for the return of this sacred stone to the Blackfoot and the Cree. For more information search YouTube for Manitou Stone Pipe Ceremony and information session.

Kawenna on:we students open show for a Tribe Called Red

By Erica Jamieson

The students of Kawenna on:we Primary Mohawk Immersion were asked to open the Tribe Called Red concert held at Queen’s University in Kingston on March 19th. The students were very enthusiastic and with very little prompting they were able to recite an approximately fifteen minute Thanksgiving Opening Address entirely in Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk).

The children looked especially traditional in their ribbon shirts and longhouse dresses. As they recited the Thanksgiving Address, it was obvious how excited they were when they got a bit of the giggles. However like the true champions they are, they shook it off to finish the address. Every now and then their voices would taper off but the teachers were able get them back on track easy enough.

Kawenna on:we Primary Mohawk Immersion is the first school of its kind on Tyendinaga.

It runs from Senior Kindergarten to grade four.

One parent had this to say about the event, “My little one was so excited about this concert, it’s nice that we get to do stuff like this, it’s good practice for the kids.”

The Four Directions Aboriginal Centre in Kingston provided a scrumptious dinner to the children, parents, and teachers of Kawenna on:we as well as a Tribe Called Red and other people involved with the concert.

In 2014, the “Tribe Called Red” earned two Juno Award nominations for Breakthrough Group of the Year and Electronic Album of the Year.

FEATURE COLUMN: LET'S TALK NATIVE WITH JOHN KANE

Embrace our sovereignty or continue the genocide?

“The most consistent theme in the descriptions penned about the New World was amazement at the Indians’ personal liberty, in particular their freedom from rulers and from social classes based on ownership of property. For the first time the French and the British became aware of the possibility of living in social harmony and prosperity without the rule of a king.”

– Jack Weatherford, “Indian Givers” Almost immediately, all that was known about society, government and social order had come into question for the Europeans who washed up on our shores half a millennium ago. Social order without a hierarchy? Equality? Even between genders? Unalienable rights bestowed to all by Creation?

In the absence of a system born out of beliefs in gods, kings and emperors, an entirely different philosophy developed and shaped the culture of the Onkweh Onweh. As a result, some very foreign concepts were embraced by the newcomers to our lands. Our view of relationships, respect and commitments to our future and the future generations were ultimately understood and welcomed by settlers. Our concepts of liberty and equality would represent such a departure from what was known and, in many ways, at the core of the problems with their “mother land” that they would become not the reason but the rationale for a Declaration of Independence for settler colonists from the rulers of their homelands.

Of course not all of our concepts were embraced and many that were would be altered beyond recognition. But the fact of the matter is that a nation was born out of our lands and our values, both of which were previously unknown

to the white man. The reason our lands and philosophies had such value was because they had not been contaminated by European ideas.

It was separation – in time, distance and space – that would allow a people to develop with such distinction from the norms of Eurasian societies. And now, centuries after the cultural exchanges that would lead to the creation of nations that would make claims to world democracy dominance, and global standards for human rights we, the original people, the Onkweh Onweh, fight everyday to maintain our distinction and autonomy. Five hundred years of atrocities that earn the label of the American Holocaust have not resulted in the successful genocide of our people.

And our fight is not the fight of armed insurrection. It is not an insurgency of terrorism or vindictive vengeance. No, our fight is peaceful but strong. We resist the controls of the dominant societies around us. We utilize our sovereignty as an asset and exploit the regulatory advantages we fervently refuse to concede.

But why the fight? Do the U.S. and Canada really consider us a threat?

If so, to what or to whom are we a threat? Even as we put our sovereignty to use in our economic development, our economies serve your people! Our gaming, our retail, our manufacturing – all of it depends on the patronage of Americans and Canadians. And how do your people feel about our sovereignty? They support it and, in many ways, depend on it. Our economy employs more of your people than our own. Our economy doesn’t just count on your citizens as patrons; we purchase from your vendors; we contract with your suppliers and we hire

your contractors. So even as we fight U.S. and Canadian police, government agents, politicians and courts for the elements of our sovereignty that provide the distinction and regulatory advantages necessary to sustain our still limited economy, it is our solid and loyal relationship with your own people that provides our market and much of our supply.

The problems with our economy are many. For one, it’s narrow. For another, it is always under attack. If it weren’t under an unlawful constant assault it wouldn’t be so narrow.

Gas, gaming and tobacco are not the only things our people, our lands and our sovereignty are good for.

We have much more to offer and, frankly, none of us are comfortable being dependent on two vices and reliance on the oil industry. Nor are we comfortable with them being our legacy.

So here is my point of the week. If our autonomy and distinction could create a philosophy that could change the world centu-

ries ago when change was slow, what could genuine respect and support for our sovereignty and autonomy produce today?

In a world where the very regulatory advantages we fight for are sought after for outsourcing, why trek halfway around the globe for what’s in your own backyard? Our sovereignty is not a threat to anyone’s national security. But it may be a proving ground for the new economic models that everyone is desperately searching for.

Back off and see what a clean slate in the neighborhood can do. No need

brace our distinction and abandon your genocidal tendencies.

for bureaucratic economic development zones, White House “Promise Zones” or New York State “tax-free” zones. No bipartisan bickering over legislative fixes.

Just simple respect for the sovereignty that predates your very existence.

The Haudenosaunee was the model for what would be. We need the respect and support for our autonomy and distinction today so we can be the model for what will be.

Fighting us slows down our development but it won’t stop us. Fighting us is a battle against the will of your own people. Em-

Don’t ever point. Ever.

If you want to go for a walk on the rez you don’t get sidewalks and stoplights, just ditches and culverts. So when my daughter was small I had to make a conscious effort to take her to town, get out of the car and walk around to acclimatize her to the concrete jungle that is Brantford.

I’ll never forget the first time I explained to her what one does at a crosswalk. It was the single most embarrassing moment of my life.

On one of our excellent times strolling through Brantford we crossed through Victoria Park. I showed her the Joseph Brant Memorial, we ate a hotdog and walked over to the corner of Darling and Market

Streets. It was a lovely spring day. The sun was shining and people were merrily going about their business.

Every kid from the rez wants to push “the button” when they get to the crosswalk. My daughter was no exception.

“Push the button sweetie, then we wait.” I said to her.

“Why mommy?” she asked me sweetly.

Men, women and students from the university were starting to gather around the corner as I explained. “You see that little light up there? Well right now it is a hand, that means stop. When it becomes a little man that means walk, ok? Now don’t start walking until you see the little man.” I warned her.

“Okay mommy.” she

The Novar

replied.

Now it was about 4:30pm and a crowd had gathered at the opposite side of the street to us. There was probably about 15-20 people gathered. Now I swear to you that I did not see this, but amidst the crowd stood a little person. And when I say little person I legitimately mean a person of short stature, or dwarf.

I’m standing at the corner with my daughter and we were talking, when suddenly the light changed from the hand to what I was calling “the little man”. Again, totally unaware that an actual little person was standing across the street from me.

The light changed, and as we are walking across the street I pointed at the crosswalk light and said very loudly,

We’ve been providing

“look at the little man sweety, do you see the little man?” literally at the exact same time that the actual little person crossed my path.

The look of horror, humiliation and dread that came over my face must have been priceless. What was even worse was that said little person must have thought I was pointing at him. Here I was looking like the world’s biggest idiot saying “do you see the little man?” to my five year old. When we crossed paths he shot me the most awful stink eye I have ever received in my life coupled with a few choice words mumbled under his breath that rhymed with cupid and ditch.

I literally stopped in the middle of the street for a second and looked

all around me and saw university students, business men and homeless people all giving me group stink eye, shaking their heads and feeling pity for my poor child who had to grow up with such a horrid piece of work for a mother.

“Did you see what that woman just did?” someone said.

“Oh my gosh I can’t believe that just happened,” said another.

“No! I meant the sign! I was talking about the sign!” I tried to shout after him.

He kept walking on, but managed to flip me a one fingered salute as he marched on his way.

The crowd laughed and I swear I heard someone else cheer.

I ran across the street practically dragging my daughter behind

me and hid in a local coffee shop waiting for the crowd to dissipate.

Although it was agonizing at the time I learned something that day. There is much value is great humiliation; and in general don’t ever point.

Corvairs and Falcons battle for divisional title

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Corvairs got past the Thorold Black Hawks last Wednesday night in convincing fashion with a 6-1 win to advance to the Conference Finals against the St. Catharines Falcons, beginning Tuesday night, March 25, at the Haldimand Centre Arena.

The game was played too late for a report in this edition but will be posted on line at www.TwoRowTimes.com.

The Falcons have given the Corvairs fits especially late this regular season and this series should be, from a fan’s perspective, the best matchup there could be. Both teams are hard skating and not afraid to throw their bodies

around.

In the Caledonia net will be Colin Furlong with a playoff goals-against-average of 1.74, in 12 games, while Knick Dawe leads the playoff goaltenders with a .78 GAA, but has played in six.

Up front, the edge has to go to the Corvairs.

Cody Brown leads the playoff scoring race with 11 goals and 9 assists for 20 points in 12 playoff games. But also within the top 10 are, Kyler Nixon with 15 points, Matt Quilty also with 15 points and Connor Murphy with 14 points.

St. Catharines’ top playoff scorer is Brennan Feasebey, with 17 points but he is alone for the Falcons within the top 10.

McCoys even series 1-1 vs Brantford Blast

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Nobody seriously expected either team to sweep the best of seven Allan Cup Hockey League final series especially between the Brantford Blast and the Dundas Real McCoys.

The series opened in Dundas Friday with Brantford winning it 5-3.

Then on Sunday afternoon at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, the McCoys came out with a 4-3 win to tie the series at

a game apiece.

Friday night Cam Sault continued on his hot streak with two goals and two assists in the 5-3 win.

Dundas jumped out front 2-0 after the first period on goals scored by Scott Stafford and Jason Ward.

The Blast had a huge second period beginning with Joel Prpic’s powerplay goal at 3:45 with assists earned by Chris Leveille and Cam Sault. ...CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Barrie wins 4 straight to clinch third Staff ST. CATHARINES – In Week 8, the Barrie Blizzard (4-4) won their fourth straight game 15-9 over the SouthWest Cyclops (2-6) to clinch third place on the season.

With the victory the CLax playoff picture is now complete and the Conference Finals have been determined for Sunday, March 30.

Semi-final number one will feature the number two ranked Niagara Lock Monsters hosting the third ranked Barrie Blizzard on Sunday, March 30 at 4 p.m. at the Seymour Hannah Arena. Game two will see the number one ranked Ohsweken Demons hosting the fourth ranked SouthWest Cyclops that evening at 8 p.m. at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

On Sunday afternoon the Barrie Blizzard and SouthWest Cyclops clashed at the Barrie Molson Centre in order to determine third and fourth position in the standings. In the first quarter, the Cyclops opened the

scoring just under 4 minutes in as Ryan McCrory found the back of the net.

Less than two minutes later the Blizzard answered back with seven unanswered goals to end the first quarter leading 7-1.

There was more of the same in the second quarter as Martin Whittaker of the Blizzard opened the scoring, leading to three more goals before SouthWest’s Tyler Burton got them back on the board. The Cyclops notched one more in the quarter and the Blizzard led 11-3 going into the half.

The Cyclops came out motivated in the third, giving the Blizzard all they could handle with 5 goals in the quarter.

They played Barrie tight defensively, holding them to only 3 goals, and kept them on the run with the signature SouthWest transition. Going into the final frame, the Cyclops closed the gap to 14-8.

In the fourth, both the Cyclops and Blizzard tightened up even more

The Barrie Blizzard took down the SouthWest Cyclops 15-9 at the Molson Centre Sunday to secure third place in the final standings of 2014 Canadian Lacrosse League regular season. They will face the Ohsweken Demons in a winner take all game March 30th at the ILA, at 8 pm. The winner of that game will face the winner of the Barrie, Niagara Lock Monsters game played the same day at 4 p.m., at Seymour Hannah Arena. FILE PHOTO BY DAVE LAFORCE on defense and both goalies played outstanding holding each team to just a single goal in the quarter. In the end, the Barrie Blizzard held off the Cyclops comeback bid and went on to a 15-9 victory.

Brantford Blast story from page 12 Dundas answered at 4:05 with Cam Wilson’s goal to restore the two-goal edge at 3-1.

The Blast exploded with three goals in the second half of the period.

Leveille made it 3-2 on a powerplay from Sault, who scored the tying goal at 16:58 from Chris Rebernik. Chad Spurr gave the Blast the lead at 17:49 from Jamie Williams and Jon Jankus.

Cam Sault put in his second of the game 21 seconds into the third period, and Brett Leggat and the Brantford defense tightened up to keep Dundas off the score sheet in the last 20 minutes for the 5-3 win.

Sunday afternoon it was the McCoys’ turn to send the hometown fans home disappointed with a 4-3 Dundas win to even the series.

McCoys’ Cam Watson

and Brantford’s Rebernik scored early in the first period, Sault assisting on Rebernik’s goal. Tuan Crane inched Dundas ahead at 9:42 and Brantford’s Jeff Caister sent the teams to the first intermission tied at 2-2.

On this day, it was Dundas putting in the big second period with a pair of goals scored by Greg Stewart.

Prpic cut the Dundas lead in half 1:35 into the last period, but in just the opposite to what happened in Dundas, the McCoys kept the Blast shut out the rest of the period and the Brantford was unable to beat Daren Machesney in the Dundas net and the McCoys held on for the 4-3 win.

When asked what went right and what went wrong Sunday afternoon, Blast centre Cam Sault

gave the same answer to both questions, “special teams.”

“Our penalty killing was good today, we kept ‘em outside,” he said. “Our powerplay was not good. I guess its back to the drawing board on that.”

At one point late in the second period the Blast had two minutes playing 5-3 when McCoys’ Justin Davis and Ryan Crane were both called for minor penalties on the same play, But the Blast could not generate a decent scoring opportunity as the Dundas penalty killers performed perfectly keeping Brantford shooters without a good angle to the net.

“But overall, we need to work harder.”

The series continues back in Dundas this Friday with Game #4 set to go at the Civic Centre Sunday afternoon at 2 pm.

Promoting Aboriginal Entrepreneurship

By Millie Knapp The Toronto Aboriginal Association Business (TABA) Awards celebrated four Aboriginal entreaccomplishpreneurs’ ment on March 19 at the Grand Hotel. The awards were given to Ruby Dreger – Lifetime Achievement; Theresa Ducharme – Businesswoman of the Year; Jesse Sargent – Businessman of the Year; and Louise Solomon – Youth Entrepreneur.

Morriseau, Andre Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business’s senior manager of Awards and Communications, hosted the 12th annual awards show featuring Derek Miller and his band.

Jimmy Dick, Cree, Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training (MBAET) board member, opened the evening with a song, drumming, and a prayer.

Newsmaker Mayor Rob Ford offered congratulations to the TABA Award winners from the City of Toronto, a co-sponsor of Aboriginal Business Day, the event prior to the TABA Awards.

Aboriginal Business Day and the TABA Awards are presented by Miziwe Biik Development Corporation (MBDC) with support from the City of Toronto, MBAET, Royal Bank of Canada, and Enterprise Toronto. MBAET’s mission is to “promote Aboriginal entrepreneurship and the development of our [Indigenous] economies.”

Glen Murray, MPP for Toronto Centre, Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation, said the evening’s celebrations honoured 8,000 years of economic development by Native people here on this land.

JP Gladue, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business CEO, Anishinabe, spoke about Indigenous

Host Andre Morriseau (left) and TABA Businesswoman of the Year award-winner, Theresa Ducharme, founder of Lemon Cree Fitness, at the Grand Hotel in Toronto. peoples’ wealth that existed on this continent for thousands of years. “We were the power engine of the first economy,” he said.

Indigenous businesses are a market force that Canada will one day recognize for business opportunities. “Today, 36,000 Aboriginal businesses compete in every sector and market. By 2016, the TD Market Report says that the combined income of the businesses will be more than $13 billion, more than the GDP of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland,” said Gladue.

“Business is one of the ways to empower our people,” he concluded as he noted how just that day, CCAB issued a press release announcing its inaugural Aboriginal Economic Development Award. The Membortou First Nation of Nova Scotia will be honoured at a May ceremony in Calgary.

TABA Businesswoman of the Year Award-winner, Theresa Ducharme, 51, Metis-Cree from Manitoba, certified fitness specialist, opens doors to healthy lifestyles for

Indigenous communities through the development of fitness classes called Lemon Cree Bounce Fit. Ducharme noted how fitness combats health problems like diabetes and heart disease in Aboriginal communities.

From an analysis of statistics compiled by her company, Ducharme said, “We’ve seen a reverse in diabetes. One of our biggest losers lost over 150 pounds. I’m the one who is inspired by them,” said Ducharme who lives in Etobicoke.

A 4-year-old company, Lemon Cree opened in Montreal. Ducharme devised the certification program to keep up with demand for the classes.

Lemon Cree started with one trainer and now has 69 trainers who conduct classes for the Mi’kmaw in New Brunswick and for the Cree in Quebec and Ontario.

Ruby Dreger, Cree from Chapleau First Nation, has served the Aboriginal community as a human resources manager and as an employment counselor for many years.

Dreger, TABA Lifetime Achievement Award-winner, consults as a facilitator for Aboriginal training and essential skills workshops.

Jesse Sargent, 31, manages Adobe Home Building, a residential construction and renovation company. For the TABA Businessman of the Year, 10 years of experience in construction helped start his business which now employees two people.

Sargent lives in Toronto and is from the Shuswap First Nation in B.C. Martin, Nancy MBAET executive director, was “inspired by all the entrepreneurial spirit in the room.” She thanked the event organizers Lin-

da Martin, Vern Vautour, and the staff at MBDC and at the Aboriginal Business Resource Centre for all of their hard work creating the 12th annual awards show.

Derek Miller, the evening’s balladeer, dedicated Someone Call an Angel Down to the women from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory who had selected Wednesday, March 19th as a day of action for a national inquiry into the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The Tyendinaga women’s protest shut down CN Rail’s main line tracks between Toronto and Montreal since the night before.

Later in the evening,

Miller talked about one of his next projects, an American rock and roll album produced with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.

From the album, Miller played Fire and Brimstone

by Link Wray whose hit Rumble sold over a million copies in 1958.

With “some old-time music,” Miller closed the TABA Awards’ celebration of Aboriginal business development in Toronto.

“Good-bye Joe, we gotta go, me oh, my oh.”

FOOD & RESTAURANTS FROM THE CITY TO THE LAND: A COOK'S JOURNEY

You Say Potato, I Say…

By Joe Farrell I am not a fan of complicated or processed foods.

I like simple and delicious food prepared with love, care and a good mind.

You can taste the love that goes into the food.

How and where your food was grown, raised, and treated will have a direct impact on the quality of food that arrives at your table. Potatoes, in my opinion, are a food that is often treated as an afterthought, a mere side dish and not necessarily the star of a meal.

Potatoes can be bro-

ken down into two distinct types: waxy (like Red-skinned potatoes) and starchy (like Russet potatoes). Waxy hold their shape well when cooked, have a high sugar and low starch content.

Starchy Potatoes are high in starch, low in sugar and are light and fluffy when cooked. It is important to note that changes within varieties do happen throughout the growing season. Understanding the different varieties will help you achieve the results you are looking for in the kitchen.

In a restaurant set-

ting, the quality of a potato preparation is a good indicator of the cook’s mindfulness and or food knowledge. Just because a restaurant makes their fries fresh doesn’t necessarily mean they are of good quality – poorly prepared fresh cut fries are no better than frozen.

Proper vegetable cookery should not be an afterthought.

Specifically for fries made with waxy potatoes, they will caramelize quickly due to their high sugar content making them look “well done” but will actually be soggy.

Whereas when you cook potatoes with less sugar and higher starch you will end up with crispy golden fries that are soft and fluffy on the inside.

My favourite potato to cook is the yellow-fleshed Yukon Gold.

It offers the best of both starchy and waxy potatoes even within seasonal variations. Yukon Gold potatoes hold up well to moist heat and dry heat cooking methods and are most importantly, delicious.

Home Fries

Ingredients: • Yukon Gold potatoes (experiment with different types, some prefer starchy potatoes) • Salt • Fresh ground pepper • Rosemary • Cooking Oil Method: • Wash and cut potatoes in shape of your liking (keep them all the same size) • Bring to the boil in a pot with salted water and cook until 1/2 done, until a knife can just pierce the potato (5 - 10 minutes), drain and pat dry • Preheat oven to 400F, and place baking tray in your oven to heat up.

• Evenly coat potatoes in cooking oil, salt, pepper and place on preheated baking sheet with a sprig of rosemary, do not crowd the pan.

• Turn potatoes every 15-20 minutes and cook until desired doneness. Enjoy!
