Men’s fire to close Hwy #6 in protest for MMIW on Oct. 5-6th By Jim Windle

CALEDONIA – Members of the Six Nations Men’s Fire have informed the OPP that Highway #6 at Forth Line Road, will be closed and remain closed from 9am on Saturday Oct 5th until 9 pm, Sunday October 6th in a protest demanding that Prime Minister Stephen Harper order an independent inquiry into the cases of missing and murdered indigenous women. Invitations are going out to other reserves as well, in an attempt to organize others to join in a common and coordinated weekend of protest. Lester Green, representing the Rotiskenrakehte or Men’s Fire, told the Two Row Times that the government must change its ways and that even if an inquiry were called for, it would have to be independent in nature. “We don’t want the government doing its own investigation of itself,” said Green. “There are reports that some of those missing women were raped by OPP or RCMP officers. That’s not to say they are all like that, but some are and that creates a conflict of interest,” says Green. He explains that the aim of the protest is to bring awareness, not only to the missing and murdered women, “but also, as men, we want to share our

roles and responsibilities as well. We want to make sure the government is going to do something.” Stephen Harper has ignored all requests and demands for a national inquiry into the cold case files of more than 1,000 cases of Onkwehonwe women who have either gone missing, or been murdered without proper investigation or closure to the families of the victims. By contrast Green points out the manhunt that was conducted in the case of Tim Boswell. In that case, a man was abducted while accompanying someone for a test-drive of a vehicle he was selling. There was a huge police dragnet set up that spread across southwestern Ontario over several days until his remains were found and the perpetrators arrested. “We are all aware of the Tim Boswell case and

how much media attention that got for one man. Meanwhile, we have hundreds and even thousands of people missing in our community too and they want to turn a cold shoulder to it,” says Green. “Why don’t we see that kind of

police attention and media coverage when one of our women or men go missing,” he asks. According to Green, there are also more than 2,000 unsolved murders or missing persons cases involving Aboriginal men

as well as women. He recalls when the American Indian Movement aka AIM started in the United States, it was due in part to a growing list of missing and murdered Native men and women across the USA whose cases were never properly investigated. “This problem has been around for a long

time, and we want to bring that to the forefront,” says Green. “Our responsibility as men, no matter what Nation we come from, is to protect our women and children.” The group invites the community to attend a meeting on the subject this Saturday, Sept. 20th, at 11 am at 724 Chiefswood Rd. “Our women deserve to be looked at as more than a piece of paper filed away as just another statistic,” says Green. All of these women have families they are mothers, cousins, aunts and daughters, all of which deserve to have justice and closure to them and their families.” For more information or input, the community is invited to call Lester Green at 226-387-2151.

Jada’s journey of hope and healing By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — This Thursday morning, Wahsontiio (Deneen Hill) and her daughter Teiehkwa (Jada Johnson) will be leaving for West Palm Beach, Florida to check in at the Hippocrates Health Centre on a journey of health and healing. Early in August, 11-year-old Jada was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. After 11 days of intense chemotherapy, Deneen stopped the process after Jada’s severe reactions to standard chemo treatment. “We have decided to turn to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida as an alternative to treating my daughter’s cancer because I just can’t live with the damage the chemotherapy will do to her body,” Deneen told the Two Row Times earlier this week. This alternative medial institute treats patients with serious diseases, including cancer, and first opened its doors almost

Wahsontiio (Deneen Hill) will be accompanying her 11-year-old daughter Teiehkwa (Jada Johnson) to an alternative-healing centre in West Palm Beach Florida for holistic treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, diagnosed early last month. They are leaving this Thursday and are scheduled to return home October 6th. Jada will be treated through holistic, non-pharmaceutical methods developed more than 70 years ago at the Hippocrates Health Centre. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE 70 years ago and has been treating patients from around the world with nothing more than pure, unprocessed foods, natural medicine plants, food supplements and fresh water. The Centre was founded by Ann Wigmore who developed a simple concept first voiced by Hippo-

crates, the father of modern medicine, nearly 2,500 years ago: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” “The one thing that not just my daughter but also everyone really needs to do is change their lifestyle,” she says. “Stay away from processed foods, dairy products, re-

fined meats. All that has to change, and not only to help cure diseases, but for basic health.” Deneen has a friend who had a cancer scare a few years ago and she told her about what she went through. After the program and a major lifestyle change, and while continuing with the supplements

the Institute provides their clients when they leave, her friend had documented positive results following the treatment. Little did Deneen know at the time that she would be looking into the program for her own daughter. “I always said if anything like that happened in my family, I would never go for chemotherapy,” says Hill. “Then, in the moment of absolute shock and fear of the immanent death of my child, I chose chemotherapy thinking that was the best thing for her.” But after watching what the treatment was doing to her little girl, Hill couldn’t carry on with it and began looking for alternatives. After she pulled Jada from the program, a doctor at McMaster University where she was being treated, told her that there has been some research done that may indicate that Indigenous children do not respond to chemo as well as non-aboriginal children do, and that the negative

affects of chemotherapy seem to be more pronounced with Indigenous children as well. The research has not been compiled and studied to the point where an official medial paper can be done on the subject to this point, however, the statistics seem to indicate there is a difference. Because of the seriousness of her illness, when Deneen announced she was pulling Jada from the chemo treatments, and because of the CAS rules and liability factors, the family has been contacted and visited by CAS. According to Hill, CAS has no issue with her decision, since she is still willing to be cooperative with the hospital and a doctor from McMaster will be tracking her progress. Hill acknowledges that chemotherapy has a certain success rate, up to 80% in cases such as her daughter’s type of cancer, however, the lasting damage afterwards are worriCONTINUED ON PAGE 16

A journey to recover a hidden history By Mari Reeve

SIX NATIONS – When Gary Cooper sat down for an interview, it was initially to speak about his grandfather, veteran Lewis Wilson, a sapper for the Six Nations Indian 114th Battalion who was killed in action on August 31st, 1918. As the conversation evolved, Gary began to tell his story of discovering his native background and uncovering his family’s history on Six Nations territory. Gary, now 72 yearsold, revealed that he did not know of his Onkwehon:we heritage until after his mother passed away when he was 28 years old. Having been raised with no understanding or knowledge of his background, Gary wanted to know more and began speaking with family members about their history. A cousin disclosed that her father (Gary’s uncle) and his mother went to the same residential school. Gary then decided to visit the

Gary Cooper`s mother Beulah Wilson attended the Brantford Mohawk Institute from 1915-1920. SUBMITTED PHOTO residential school, the Brantford Mohawk Institute or “mushhole” as it was referred to by those forced to attend it, where it was believed she went. He came across a registration book and found that his mother, Beulah Wilson, had indeed attended the school from 1915-1920. He and his family began to enquire about his mother’s academic work and character while enrolled, contacting government agencies in Ottawa, but had little success. They were told that no

information about his mother could be released. He recently visited the “mushhole” again, trying to uncover more information from their records, but apparently the government had taken it all away after the

influx of claims by people. Gary studied what little information he could get about his mother and uncle, and even though they were both registered at the same time, there was no information about him. “See, there’s my mother’s name right there, Beulah Wilson, and her brother’s name isn’t in there cause he was getting beaten up all the time…there’s nothing about him in there, and apparently he was supposed to be a real militant native…you go to the library now and I don’t think you can get this information.” Gary did uncover some information from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Indian Affairs Branch

in Ottawa. In 1953, when his mother married a white man living off reserve the department told her that she was no longer an Indian. Gary was the only one of her five children that filled out the numerous and extensive government paper work regarding his native heritage. Gary lived his life for almost 30 years before discovering his own family history, and began uncovering information that the government would rather keep hidden. As is evidenced by the fact that he cannot retrieve information about his own mother’s life. Gary described how the government, which victimized his mother, still gets

to keep her story and records locked up in an archive in Ottawa. Canada and Indigenous peoples in Canada are currently participating in a Truth and Reconcilliation process yet people and their family members searching for lost connections and family history are denied access to their records. For his part Gary is dedicated to continuing to investigate and understand the lives of his ancestors. He is keen to bring public attention to both those who suffered through residential schools and the Onkwehonweh soliders like his grandfather who made the supreme sacrifice on the battlefield.

Derek Miller brightens spirits with grassroots efforts

Vicki Martin and her nephew, Derek Miller, presenting $2075.47 to the Brightening the Spirit, Breaking The Silence organizers: Dorothy Russell-Patterson, Melba Thomas, Ida Martin, Lois Porter. PHOTO BY DAVID LAFORCE By Mari Reeve OHSWEKEN – Last Wednesday afternoon in Veteran’s Memorial Park musician Derek Miller presented two cheques totalling over $4000 to Brightening the Spirits and Breaking The Silence (BSBS) and the Six Nations Health Care Dialysis Unit. About 50 people were in attendance at the gathering, which came with a free and healthy packed lunch. Tables were set up displaying the BSBS logo contest, brochures with useful and relevant information were handed out, and different research findings that were conducted in the community were made available. The Six Nations Health Team also made an appearance. They happened to be doing outreach work involving Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) education and prevention at the BMO across the street and decided to join the gathering. Carly Vyse, a Six Nations Health Services employee of 6 years who works on pre-natal health and FASD diagnosis, was doing FASD education at the event. They have been travelling throughout the community informing the public about alcohol use during pregnancy, revealing that even males who consume alcohol 6-8 hours prior to conception can contribute to their child having FASD. Their information table was filled with research on FASD as well as interactive games with prizes. The team states that their mission and message is simple: “to help people live a good healthy life” and that “one drop lasts a lifetime”. Brightening the Spirits and Breaking the Silence, began in January of 2014 with 12 people stepping

forward to raise awareness about high rates of suicide in the community and the need to take action through prevention. The group conducted community research to determine needs, services gaps, and the health and life factors leading to higher suicide rates. They received 167 completed questionnaires from the 254 that they distributed. The resulting data was upsetting but also provided some insight as to what direction community services should take in order to best serve the needs of the community. Over 80% of people stated that they had been personally affected by suicide, and roughly the same percentage of people desired programs like talking circles, “table of memories”, and healing services. Patterson says she will passionately continue to do work with her community and begin erasing the stigma attached to suicide issues and discussion, while acknowledging her family, friends and community for their love and support to be able to do so. She believes it is necessary to open up, break-down walls, and overcome barriers, stating, “We need to be able to share our pain, when we can’t, we become emotionally fragile.” BSBS encourages all youth aged 12-29 to participate in their logo creation contest. The winner receives a $250 VISA gift card and the contest closes October 21st. The donated monies were raised during Swinefest, a yearly music benefit concert event that Derek Miller and his family began four years ago to give back to the community. Their efforts have resulted in financial donations to other programs throughout Six Nations like the Mohawk

Language Program, diabetes assistance services, services for elders and more. Besides Swinefest 2015, the Miller family has also begun talking with APTN and communities about a multicity telethon for issues sur-

Derek spoke passionately about Onkwehon:we people taking their issues into their own hands, so there is no reliance or waiting for grants to be approved when things need

to be done. He speaks of the need for self-determination free of the Canadian state’s help and restrictions. Derek emphasized that, “We must always celebrate life, and choose love over fear.” Vicki Martin, Derek’s aunt

states that it was Derek who pulled her into getting involved years ago, and stated that anyone who wishes to volunteer for their upcoming events can contact her at 519-445-2428.

only tolerate so much before it begins to fracture. When your mind is burdened with the weight of grief it is all consuming. Sadly, this is something the Haudenosaune people are all too familiar with. Grief can manifest physical symptoms that hang around for some time afterwards. Body aches, panic attacks, weight gain

or loss, supressed immunity – the list goes on. Haudenosaune traditions tell us that grief clouds the mind, blocks our hearing and can keep us from speaking clearly. The healing medicine is time and love, and still afterward part of grieving leaves permanent damage inside that we’ll carry on into the future. As hard

By Clayton Thomas Muller Dear Indigenous Peoples Movement, We need to talk about a serious issue threatening our livelihood and our collective inherent and treaty rights known as corporate sponsorship and the “Red-washing” agenda facing our artistic and education institutions. Last week the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards (APCA) happened in my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba and some of our brightest artists and their work were recognized. But the APCA show was sponsored by some of the biggest violators of Indigenous/Treaty Rights in this country. A short list of these corporate criminals includes Transcanada Pipeline Corporations, Enbridge, Manitoba Hydro, Royal Bank of Canada, the Northern Company. These companies and their investors are committing genocide and ecocide on Indigenous peoples and our sacred lands

and waters. They do this through their operations and by funding the lobby effort to deconstruct and attack our collective rights via the termination tables agenda. And yet are still able to be corporate sponsors of events like the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards. A year ago I wrote the following on the corporate sponsorship of another high profile event Indispire. “For those of you that recently went to the Indispire Awards Show (formally National Aboriginal Achievement Awards). You should know they approached me a couple years ago about receiving their National Award for Environmental work. I told them no thank you, and that the minor recognition I would receive to the work I do from the award ceremonies and its associated PR machine would not come anywhere close to the social capital their corporate sponsors would receive by green washing (or redwashing in this case) their operations with my personal name. I didn’t want to give them the social license to operate as usual in our Native Lands by being showcased in front of Canada as “Good” corporate neighbours to First Nations. The truth of the matter is

that we as Native Peoples continue to suffer under colonial occupation. We must end corporate sponsorship of our arts institutions by these genocidal corporations. Having a major mining company or energy company sponsor these events is no different then having Du Maurier or Players (Imperial) tobacco company sponsor our head start programs, or having a porn company sponsor a teen age body image campaign. They bring death, cancer and destruction to our people, land and water in all places they operate.” I know that many of our peoples have become dependent on the economic benefits of these artistic and educational operations and I am not attacking this. I am however pointing out that this kind of private sector incursion into our institutions like the APCA greatly supports the devolution and termination agenda of the Federal Government to devolve their legal and fiduciary obligations as defined by our inherent rights and treaties. The corporate sponsorship agenda is to ‘Redwash’ many of the front line impacts that their investments and operations externalize on local communities. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Corporations and their ‘redwashing’ corporate sponsorship agenda is designed to blind First Nations, Inuit and Metis as well as Canadians into thinking these companies are all good because hey, they give so much back… right? No, the money these companies give to the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards and other awards groups is nothing compared to the costs our Sovereign Nations absorb in the form of human and ecological health impacts, Treaty and aboriginal rights violations, violence against our Women, assimilation of our youth to an inherently unsustainable world and cosmos vision that directly violates our natural laws or original instructions. We must not be afraid to call out injustice, we must not be muted by the perceived social license that the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards lends to these corporations. We are in a fight that is about corporate power vs. the carrying capacity of our sacred Mother Earth and the communities that depend on her for their live-

lihood. I challenge all the recipients of this year’s 2014 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards to post your thoughts about these companies and their operations in your homelands. I encourage you to speak for your people who are being harmed, to speak for our

water, our air our sacred earth, the cosmos and for your children yet unborn. Speak out even if your voice shakes. Ekosani Maha, Ki Na Na Skomitin Clayton Thomas-Muller Pukatawagan Cree, Treaty 6 Territory

thoughts from the Cayuga Nation, in upstate New York. I was introduced to the homelands September 2007 at a Cayuga Nation picnic. Since then I have explored the land our forefathers walked upon and at times feel overwhelmed. When I first learned about Hiawatha, I was in grade 5 and I remember coloring the little Indian Boy and the stories that went with this brave person. I never in a million years thought I would be here and it is a great honor to be a part of helping rebuild the Cayuga Nation.

SIX NATIONS

Community Living Six Nations “Ronatahskats” GIFT STORE

There are many things happening here from politics to building new relationships. As it was told by our elders, “You gotta be able to take the good with the bad, it’s a part of learning.” In 1779 General Sullivan, ordered his army to burn us out of our homelands, the Five Finger Lakes Territory. Some of us traveled and stayed within the United States making another nation and/or tribe their home and some of migrated to Grand River and made Six Nations our home. Today we have been given an opportunity to build the bridges that separate our nations. So if you ask and wonder how we are getting along, I would have to say, be mindful of the things our Ancestors put here for us and the “Faces yet to be

Brothers we will not pick a side I’m not one to just totally believe everything that I read especially when it comes to Haudenosaunee history. Especially on the internets. (And yes I used the Bush-ism on purpose.) Once I read on an American public school website how the Grade 6 class were learning about the mighty Iroquois squirrel clan, and how all the papooses were blessed by the mighty squirrel spirit to be mighty hunters and mighty hunters’ wives. Those poor kids were drawing pictures of brown people wearing coloured feathers and eating acorns, bowing down to this huge squirrel! The school proudly uploaded the artwork to their website, displaying them for parents to view. I remember catching

that online and having a good laugh to myself. I took it a step farther and was imagining how if I was there I would have celebrated the mighty victory over actual history by letting out a war whelp, pounding out a good tune on the tomtom and sending smoke signals to my ‘cousints’ in the next village saying, ‘Hey man, get over to the school ASAP. There’s acorns and papooses Squirrel God is here and everything. They’re honoring us dude!’ This weekend I was again scouring the internet on our history. This time reading up about my ancestors’ journey from their homelands to Grand River territory, I stumbled upon a quote from the Oneida Nation

to Governor Turnbull in 1775. Great Britain and the Colonies were at war, both vying for the Haudenosaunee people to join up and take a side in the battle for dominion over North America. When the US asked the Haudenosaunee to officially take a side here is how the Oneida Nation replied. “We are unwilling to join on either side of such a contest, for we love you both – old England and new. Should the King of England apply us for our aid – we shall deny him – and should the Colonies apply – we shall refuse”. Dare I say it was a bold declaration of neutrality! In the wake of being surrounded by pure war the Oneidas stood up and said, ‘we love you’s both so we ain’t pickin’

a side homies.’ Or as the now-viral Polish meme says, ‘not my circus, not my monkeys.’ And put into perspective it was a circus indeed. Two different societies show up on the shores of Turtle Island and engage in a battle of dominion over it. Could you imagine if two people showed up at the doorstep of your house, came to rent rooms and then a few years later engaged in an all out battle for your entire house? First they start fighting over the kitchen, then there’s an all out battle for the bathroom and rights to the toilet? I guess I’m feeling really think-y about war, history, and propaganda lately. Wondering what do I really think about all of this ‘third war’ and ISIS talk in my face via the mainstream media. We now know that the United States betrayed their part in the treaties they initiated with the Haudenosaunee. To the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy no less.

States was when George Washington sent 5000 soldiers to eradicate Onondaga. That act of war divided the Confederacy and we became a nation scattered throughout the US and Canada left to fend as broken families with a good dose of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This made our people vulnerable to the process of colonization, and permitted the building of a racist empire over our scorched villages and cornfields. North of the newly established border, our British allies won the war with our help, subjugated our people, promised us a bunch of rewards for “loyalty” and dumped the unwanted work of upholding those promises on the shoulders of “Canada.” Who, irritated with the extra work and determined to breed us out of existence put us in residential schools and on reserves! Now, I’m not one to make predictions especially on the pessimistic side of things. But as I watch the chess pieces move into place and

knowing our Haudenosaunee history I’m starting to hear those internal alarm bells go off. Alliances, getting other nations to fight your battles, and media propaganda right now seems eerily familiar to the vilification of “Indian savages”. I’m not saying this is fact, but my personal experience as a Haudenosaunee person causes me to question any war against terror. The thwarted version of history painted my grandfathers as terrorists as well. What if non-militant Islamic people in Syria are crying out the same as our grandfathers? “Brothers we will not pick a side – for we love you both”. How would we know? Do they get a choice even? Or will nations who choose not to engage in the battle be the collateral damage on the way to building a democratic “terrorist-free” Middle East? And if so – will the heavy hand of imperial morality now cover our eyes to be the exact harm that was done to our grandfathers?

Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs celebrate their second Mann Cup victory in as many years. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Mann oh Mann! Chiefs keep the cup By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS –Backed up by tournament MVP Brandon Miller in goal and a full house of fans at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, the Six Nations Chiefs captured the Mann Cup for the second consecutive year on Friday night with a 9-4, Game #6 win. It is the third time this lacrosse season that Six Nations lacrosse fans cheered a National Championship team. In late August, the Six Nations Jr. B Rebels won the Founders Cup for an unprecedented fourth year in a row, in Halifax, and the Jr. A Arrows Express hoisted the Minto Cup a few days later in Langley, British Columbia. It was almost a fourleague sweep as the Sr. B Rivermen, in only its second year of operation, lost a heart breaker at the Presidents Cup Championships, played in Coquitlam B.C. All four Six Nations teams won Ontario Championships along the way, something no other community has ever done. But three out of four isn’t bad, as the Chiefs sent the huge Six Nations crowd home happy. There was a large contingent of Victoria Shamrocks fans that made the trip east and who, when the buzzer ended the final

one, Point said, “Our defense is definitely better this year I think. Victoria is still a good team, and everybody knows that and they have been pretty tough at times. We came out tonight knowing we did not want to play again. We knew they were going to come out strong and we had to come out stronger and play a full 60 [minutes].” In games leading up to Friday night, the Chiefs seemed to only be able to put together 40 solid minutes and let large leads slip away. That was not the case in Game #6. Last year’s Mann Cup MVP, Cody Jamieson, was happy to win it at home. “It feels great to be out here on the floor at home CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Corvairs 1-1 in early Jr. B hockey season By Jim Windle

CALEDONIA – After starting the 2014-2015 GOJHL on the right foot in St. Catharines Friday, Sept 12th, the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs were shut out the next night before a large home opener crowd at the Haldimand Centre Arena the next night by the Welland Canadians. There isn’t much more to say about Saturday’s game than the score would indicate. The Corvairs lost 3-0, were outshot 36-18 and looked like it was their first time on the ice together as a team. Last year’s championship team was decimated during the off season when several of their top players went overage or moved up to higher levels of the game, making for a very busy summer for head coach Mike Bullard and general manager Brian Rizzetto as more than half of their roster sat vacant following last year’s Sutherland Cup wining season. “Our model is more to reload than to rebuild,” said Rizzetto. “So we keep trying to bring in older, experi-

The 2014-15 Pro-Fit Corvairs opened the season on the road Friday night with a 3-2 win over the St. Catharines Falcons but dropped a 3-0 decision in Saturday's home opener. Amongst the new Corvairs is #94 Anton Trublin, who grew up and played in Belarus, but has been living and playing in Toronto since coming to Canada 5 years ago with his family. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

enced players.” The Corvair’s organization and the team’s recent success has made Caledonia one of the league’s most desirable places to play, so finding matured talent from other centres who want a legitimate shot at the Sutherland Cup is a bit easier than in some other locations, but it still requires a lot of leg work and

man-hours to locate and scout these prospects while at the same time running a team. “As general manager, I have two owners who are willing to buy players from other teams, and some of these teams want big money for their top players,” says Rizzetto. But talent isn’t everything. Attitude, discipline

and a willingness to buy into “Corvair hockey” is just as important, as the new 2014-15 edition of the franchise is finding out. “The guys we brought in this year are good players, but we do not have a good team yet,” Rizzetto says quite candidly. “We have a lot of individual talent but they have not bonded into the team form we wanted. Right now we have four solid lines coming at you, but we don’t have that ‘wow’ factor. I’m still out there tolling for some big fish.” That means changes, and Rizzetto continues to seek the right pieces for the Corviars team he and Bullard are assembling. Although not willing reveal names as yet, Rizzetto says he has his sights set on two name players he hopes to woo from other franchises. He is quite happy with the goaltending tandem the Corvairs has, and called them maybe the best tandem the franchise has ever had. Last years star Colin Furlong was maybe the best single netminder he

has had in recent years, but Rizzetto seems to be looking at working more as a tandem this year. Rizzeto and Buillard are going with Kevin Entmaa, who arrives by way of the Jr. A Aurora Tigers, and Brandon Polasek, who played for the Thorold Black Hawks last season and was impressive against the Corvairs. Last year’s returning vets include defenseman Ryan Moran, Jordan Peacock, a 6’6” right winger, defenseman Justin Abraham, who may wear the “C” this year, Connor Patton, Scott Dorian, 6’ 5” defenseman Jayme Forslund, Cosimo Fontana, Jake Brown, and Todd Ratchford. Amongst the new faces is Anton Trublin, #94, who is from Belarus and has been living and playing hockey in Toronto for the last 5 years. Friday night’s 3-2 season opener win in St. Catharines over the Falcons saw some of the veterans lead the way and newcomers chipping in. Cosimo Fontana scored the first goal of the season at 10:57 from

newbees Austin McEneny and Nathan Gomez. The Falcons’ Tyler Morrison tied the game at 18:54. There was no scoring in the second period as Entmaa and Jonathan D’Ilario turned aside nine shots each. Peacock gave the Corvairs a 2-1 lead at 14:36 from Dorian and Brown, but Morrison struck again with his second goal at 16:59. Connor Bramwell won it at 18:39 from Tyler Lepore and Matt Hore. “I thought we did just enough to win,” said Rizzetto. “We looked like a bunch of good talent, but not a team yet.” The Buffalo franchise folded only days before the season was to begin and caused a scramble amongst the GM’s and commissioner to draw up a new schedule of 49 games, unbalanced. That means the Corvairs will play four times in St. Kitts and three in Caledonia, making Friday night’s win potentially very important down the stretch. The Corvairs next action is at home, Saturday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 pm.

Chiefs win from page 10 celebrating with our family and friends,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know life on the rez and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way bigger family here than your immediate family and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to celebrate with everybody.â&#x20AC;? Jamieson was full of admiration for the Shamrocks after being pushed so hard throughout the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kinda ran all over the west,â&#x20AC;? said Jamieson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a great team. They never quit and they are young and fast and we expect to see them in the Mann Cup [hunt] for a while.â&#x20AC;? Brandon Miller, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP, was nothing short of spectacular throughout the season and the playoffs, and Jamieson is well aware of how important goaltending is to any championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are a goalie at this level and you can hold a team to under six goals, that is something special and he really deserved that award,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson said. Miller allowed 4 goals in Game#1, 6 in Game #2, 12 in the Game #3 OT loss, 6 in Game #4, 6 in Game #5 and 4 in Game #6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series produced great defensive plays,â&#x20AC;? OLA Major Series Commissioner Jim Brady said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hoped that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get overlooked. The west, in one game, was able to get over 10 goals. The same happened with Peterborough. This Chiefs team is the best defensive team I have seen since I have been commissioner.â&#x20AC;? Six Nations scored first with Shattler stinging his former mates at 7:16 with a hard shot from the centre slot. Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Lowe evened the score at 10:25 from Scott Rogers and Ethan Garland. Defender Colin Boucher picked off a Victoria pass about 20 feet in front of his own goal and had clear sailing all the way to the Shamrocks net where he buried it high, to regain the Six Nations lead. Kasey Beirnes and Colin Doyle combined perfectly when Doyle drew Shamrocks defenders towards himself before lobbing a pass over the Shamrocks defense to Beirnes who had broken in behind

them. With a quick shot, it was 3-1. Victoria came out stronger in the second period but Brandon Miller was on his game to keep the Shamrocks to two goals in the second period, even though they outshot the Chiefs. The Chiefs intercepted a number of

errant Victoria passes to break up plays in the Chiefs defensive zone. Doyle and Johnny Powless added second period goals before Corey Small took a bite out of the Chiefs lead at 5-2. In a real heads-up play at 13:45, defensemen Rob Marshall plucked off a Victoria pass during a Shamrocks powerplay and spotted Jamieson coming off the bench. He delivered

a pass on a rope to the breaking Jamieson who netted Six Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6th goal, shorthanded. Gregg Harnett made it 6-3 at 15:42, but Craig Point took a great crosscrease pass from Jamieson and one-timed it in behind Cody Hagedorn at 19:51 to close the second period with Six Nations in charge of a 7-3 lead. The Chiefs did not let up in the third as Mill-

13 er disheartened Victoria shooters with some fine saves. Shattler made it 8-3 after the Shamrocks call for an equipment measure on Miller backfired. When Sid Smith was assessed a slashing call at 5:02, the Victoria bench gambled on the measurement to possibly take a two man advantage to get back into the game. But the gamble backfired as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rocks

were assessed a mandatory delay of game penalty when the equipment proved to be legal. With the teams 4 on 4, Shattler made it 8-3. Thirty seconds later it was 9-3 after Beirnes scored at 6:36. The Chiefs played down the clock and Miller held his ground until Chris Wardle scored a meaningless short hander at 18:26 for the 9-4 final score.

From the City to the Land: A COOK’S JOURNEY

The time is now to eat seasonal By Joe Farrell

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of helping with the second annual Langford “Save our Schoolhouse” fundraiser. The goal of the event was to raise funds to make the schoolhouse that was built in 1886 wheelchair accessible and to renovate the foundation. The Langford Conservancy, a “non-profit group dedicated to protecting and preserving the farmland, and rural heritage buildings in Brant County, Ontario” put on the event. In honour of this event I was privileged to cook a completely organic, GMO free meal with produce grown by Hearts Content Farm. With help from the farm interns we prepared a delicious seasonal vegetable filled spread for those in attendance. When working

with fresh, local produce, the best thing to do is let the ingredient speak for itself. This was accomplished by giving them the same love as when they were grown. Not over manipulating and transforming the ingredient into something it isn’t. Allowing it to keep its integrity and deliciousness intact. I recognize the dayto-day challenges in procuring organic, whole foods, and the challenges that many face in trying to eat this way. I admit that I am not always able to do so myself. Knowing that I am on a journey to do so along with so many others gives me the strength to continue moving in that direction. I dream and set intentions of a day when naturally grown, chemical free food is accessible and available to everyone.

With the weather being what it is lately, one might feel inclined to start transitioning into fall flavours. I’m making that transition slowly, I’m not quite ready to give up on all the bright, delicious flavours of summer just yet.

Summer Squash with Mint

DD DD DD DD

Summer Squash Mint Garlic Apple Cider Vinegar (experiment with different vinegars like red or white wine) DD Salt DD Olive Oil Cut your squash in 1/4 inch cubes or long strips about the same thickness. Heat a pan to high heat, coat evenly with olive oil and sear to

achieve a charred colour, not cooking the squash all the way through. Season squash with salt. Slice a couple cloves of garlic very thinly and tear mint leaves. Mix all ingredients in a bowl or layer in a baking dish. Cover with vinegar of your choice, wrap and refrigerate. If you choose to can it at this point go right ahead otherwise leave it in the fridge overnight and finish it with some olive oil. Enjoy as part of a pickle plate, on its own, in pasta or however else you choose.

Also, speaking of harvesting seasonal homegrown foods, the three sites where the Six Nations Farmers Association (SNFA) has planted community white corn is ready for harvest. According to SNFA spokesperson Arthur Porter of the Oneida Nation, “The field that’s down on River Range Road, is the one that was planted later, and it’s actually good right now for ceremony. It’s good if somebody’s going to make green corn”. The SNFA are inviting all

Six Nations community members to visit any of the three growing sites and pick your own white corn that’s ready for harvest. The sites are located at: 1. West of blue number 3202 on River Range Road. 2. South side on 6th Line, west of Chiefswood Road near blue number 1593. 3. North side on 6th Line, west of Chiefswood Road near blue number 1593.

New treatments for AMD are quite effective, but the earlier the disease can be diagnosed, the better the outcome.” CNIB is proud to offer a guide for Canadians who have been diagnosed with or are at risk of getting AMD, called Your Guide to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. “There’s no need to wade through the results of an internet-search trying to determine what’s true and what’s not when it comes to AMD. CNIB’s guide is a one-stop source for credible information,” explains Dr. Gordon. “Whether learning about how to minimize risk, becoming more proactive

about treatment or accessing vital support services, the guide will help to empower people with AMD to live full, meaningful lives and truly see beyond vision loss.” To download a copy of CNIB’s Your Guide to Age-Related Macular Degeneration, visit cnib.ca/ amd.

She got a sore throat and slept around the clock for about four days. She lost her appetite and wouldn’t eat, and the last two days, her legs were really wobbly when she walked, like she was too weak to hold herself up. In lacrosse, she was always known as such a fast runner. I look back now, at what I saw on the lacrosse field and if I had really thought about it, I would have known something was wrong sooner.” Seeing Jada go from what her mother knew of

her normal energy level to having to go to the hospital was shocking enough, but then, the unexpected results of blood tests done on Jada broadsided her completely. Her once so active daughter had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She was immediately put on what is normally an intensive 32-visit regime of chemotherapy, but after 11 days of hell watching her daughter in agony and violently ill, she couldn’t stand it any longer. The approach to health as practiced through the Institute closely parallels Haudenosaunee traditional medicines and treatments, and so Deneen is quite comfortable with the basic ideology behind it and sees it as a cultural fit. There are no synthetic

and pharmaceutical drugs used at all, only what the Creator has given. She was told that without treatment, Jade had only about six months to live. But Deneen is being pragmatic about it as well accepting that, if in fact the program in Florida is not working, she will return to the chemotherapy treatments immediately, as a last resort. “I believe that ones

Research. “Things like not smoking, eating a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids, wearing sunglasses and exercising regularly are all proven to help maintain vision health.” AMD causes damage to the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for seeing fine details (such as reading print or seeing faces). People with AMD experience blurred central vision and a growing central blind spot. Dr. Gordon added, “Early diagnosis is extremely important to prevent vision loss.

OHSWEKEN – Are you having trouble with vision loss? As we age our eyesight often degenerates and a number of different problems can contribute to vision loss. The leading cause of vision loss in Canadians over 50 years old is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). With Canada’s increasingly aging population, the number of people diagnosed with this disease is expected to double in the next 25 years. But the good news is that there are things people can do to minimize their risk. On Tuesday September 23rd and Wednesday

September 24th, the Canadian National Institute of the Blind (CNIB) will be holding a series of workshops at the Iroquois Lodge in Ohsweken with sessions on how to identify, prevent and cope with AMD. The CNIB deals with a wide range of vision related problems, and doesn’t only work with those who are legally blind. The sessions they are holding will explain how the eyes work, the different types of AMD and strategies for treatment. “A number of lifestyle choices can be very effective in the prevention of vision loss from AMD,” said Dr. Keith Gordon, CNIB’s Vice-President of

The cost to proceed with a US based holistic procedure and the considerable cost of specialized non-pharmaceutical supplements for years following the initial treatment are astronomical, but she and her family and friends are willing to combine pull together fundraising efforts to help cover whatever costs there may be. This past weekend the family put on a benefit concert featuring, among other musical guests, Six Nations award winning pop and R&B singer Jace Martin at Hanks Place.

I noticed she was gradually, over about a six-week period, getting to the point where she was just sleeping all the time. “She played lacrosse and she said she could hardly run without getting really achy legs,” recalls

Arts Culture Entertainment Filmmaker Cher Obediah has turned the camera on herself in an upcoming documentary following her personal journey of rediscovery from urban Native with little or no contact with her own culture, to seek her identity through traditional dance, under the tutelage of Naomi Martin, and the learning of her traditional language. She is also preparing a documentary about Kanonhstaton, eight years later. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Filmmaker on a journey from chaos to inner peace By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Boxer Cher Obediah-Blasdell has been in the media recently for her prowess in the ring, but her cousin, Cher Obediah, has been making a name for herself in quite a different discipline. The two cousins get mixed up often, but this Cher Obediah is a filmmaker, and a traditional dancer, among other things. She has been rediscovering her roots through language classes and Pow Wow dance lessons from one of the best teachers of the art in the area, Naomi Martin of Tribal Visions. Obediah debuted as a Pow Wow dancer at the New Credit Three-Fires Pow Wow this year after months of strenuous lessons, which she took very seriously and became quite dedicated to. Her journey back to her traditional roots began with a documentary she is in the process of producing about the Caledonia reclamation. How does one have anything to do with the other, one might ask? The reclamation by itself is a very intense and complicated story, so her idea was to move the documentary along with a side story about her own learning curve about the reclamation itself. Along the way in that journey, Obediah, who was raised in an urban setting with very little contact with her traditional roots, discovered as much about her own

cultural awareness as she did about the subject matter of her documentary. “I was raised an urban Native and it’s been really embarrassing to me,” she says. “I grew up in Brantford, my father is from Six Nations and my mother is from Alderville First Nation, which is an hour east of Toronto. “My grandfather was enfranchised,” she says. “He wanted to take care of his family and open up a barber shop. At that time, enfranchisement was enticing for families who wanted the money and the land the government offered them, and they dangled that carrot in hopes that they would go for it, and leave the reserve and assimilate on their own.” Obediah likes the contrast of chaos and inner peace and she is still not absolutely certain if her project will emerge as one or two documentaries. She believes the contrast of celebrating who she is in dance, and the harsh realities of racial tensions will hold the attention of her viewers. “When we started shooting footage for the “Don’t Just Talk About It” project, it started to really take off and evolve into something on its own,” she said during a break in her dance class at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford. “I felt that this story about my personal rediscovery project was gaining so much momentum on its own, that it really deserved its own project.” “That is how the doc-

umentary, ‘Don’t Just Talk About It’ was born. “I guess what really got me into it was that I had talked about it too much and decided it was time to actually do it.” The “Don’t Just Talk About It” documentary has opened many locked doors for Obediah. “There is a whole new world that has opened up for me through this project and every morning I wake up a different person now,” she says. The genesis of this project came when Cher, who worked for David Moses at the DAM studio at the time, found herself with a camera on her shoulder in the middle of the chaos of the Caledonia land reclamation, gathering footage. “I don’t know if David knew himself exactly what he was going to do with the footage, but he knew it was an important and historical event and so he sent me to shoot what I could,” Obediah recalls. She believes that Caledonia has been the starting point of a renaissance not just for her, but for many Six Nations people who took a lot for granted or had no real active interest in their culture before then. Her journey of rediscovery has caused Obediah to ask a lot more questions than she used to, she says. “I think our people need to get really hungry about their heritage and ask a lot of questions about it and dig. Not just take what you are told or what people tell you, but

investigate it yourself,” she says. “Looking back, people say everything in life happens for a reason, so maybe I was put in the middle of Kanonhstaton to understand how all that works, as far as media is concerned,” Obediah says. “I am doing it now because I couldn’t stop talking about it,” she laughs. “This project is designed to inspire other people to pursue their

own passions in their own lives, however that may look. You are never really happy and fulfilled until you are doing something you really care about.” Her secondary objective for both documentary ideas is for people to learn and understand more about the beauty and positivity in First Nations culture to help dispel the stereotypes. Filming of her personal journey began in April of this year.

“It has not been easy. It required a lot of hard and long work and I am proud of myself for completing this because it has not been easy,” she says. Obediah and her life partner, motivational speaker Earl Lambert, have begun a “Don’t Just Talk About It” Facebook page where they keep people abreast of how the project is coming as well as other inspirational thoughts and ideas.

Book review: A detective story set in the middle of an Indigenous insurgency Demands of the Dead, By Justin Podur Reviewed by Megan Cotton-Kinch While I’ve always enjoyed a good detective novel, I’ve always felt like this genre usually contains an underlying message of support for the police, and never really takes a critical look at the role of “law-and-order” in maintaining a society based on the oppression of poor people and the theft of Indigenous land. At best, this kind of stories will look at corruption in police and politics but offer no solutions. This is where Demands of the Dead transcends the genre, and moves beyond works like The Wire by actually looking at the larger political context and offering possible solutions. In the case of Podur’s novel these are

represented by the Zapatista Indigenous insurgency, which has an important presence in the book. In the opening of Demands of the Dead, an ex-cop receives an email, in Spanish that says, “The dead demand so much more than vengeance.” But the dead are more than the two dead police, or his dead friend, but include all the dead in southern Mexico who have been killed in the counter-insurgency. And unlike most books in the detective genre the novel does offer up the possibility of solutions that go beyond personal vengeance. Did Zapatista guerrillas murder two police officers? Or was it the Mexican police? Or drug traffickers? What were the police, in the political context of an armed uprising, doing on Zapatista

contractor working with semi-sponsorship from the American embassy and their proxies in the Mexican counter insurgency (police and military). Back in the States, Mark’s murdered best friend had told him, “You can’t help. You should just go. I don’t care what kind of person you are Mark. If you’re a cop, we’re enemies.” But Mark is not just an ex-cop, he also has wilderness survival and tracking skills, and a personal history that gives him connections to progressive lawyers and an inclination to cross into Zapatista territory to get their side of the story. As asides into the two cases, one official and one personal, there are discussions of Zapatista political and military strategy, with people’s organizations and dem-

territory anyway? The main character “Mark” is in southern Mexico to investigate. But in reality he is there to investigate the murder of his best friend, a progressive lawyer and activist, back in New York, by cops on the force he used to serve on. The novel, and its protagonist “Mark”, doesn’t shrink from looking at what it means to be an ex-cop, and ‘independent’

The dead demand much more than vengeance

ocratic decision-making as preferred weapons in a struggle, but with an armed self-defense strategy in reserve. Podur also shows what they are up against: a counter-insurgency strategy targeted at the Indigenous Zapatistia movement that is linked with machine politics, American imperialism and drug money. Nonetheless, the novel has a very nuanced take on the state and police systems, seeing them worthy of analysis and full of contradictions. The book has realistic fight scenes with descriptions to suit martial arts fans, and accurate descriptions of guns and military tactics. The main character’s wilderness skills are not overplayed but are realistic assessments of the kind of things that skilled trackers can do (hear people approach

before they arrive due to concentric disturbances in the forest) and can’t do (find individual tracks of intruders on a heavily trafficked roadway). The one thing I’d wish for is more fully developed female characters with plot importance. The author, Justin Podur, is better known as a non-fiction writer and commentator on political topics, including Indigenous issues and solidarity efforts with Palestine. He is a professor at York University who does research on forestry and forest fires. In the novel, this background is present but doesn’t overwhelm the story. The novel is available for download or purchase as a book from Justin’s website http://podur.org/demandsofthedead

The Demands of the Dead - a novel by Justin Podur When police killed his two best friends in a supposedly accidental shooting, detective Mark Brown left the force bitter and angry, abandoning a promising career and leaving his special skills to languish. A year later, the trail of one of the killers has Mark looking south, to Mexico, just as he receives a mysterious, anonymous, encrypted message over e-mail: The dead demand much more than vengeance.

The same day, two Mexican police are murdered in guerrilla territory in Chiapas, Mexico, where the Zapatista rebels face the Mexican government in a deadly conflict in which no one is safe and no one can afford to be neutral. A US firm close to the Mexican government is contracted to do an independent investigation, and they want Mark in the field. But does anyone want the truth to come out? The Mexican police stand accused of corruption and collusion in drug trafficking. The rebels and their apparently benign supporters have secrets of their own. And the US Embassy wants Mark to use his new contacts to bolster their intelligence on the rebellion.

Business Profile

Slack Lumber opens new expanded showroom BINBROOK – In the late 1940’s Bob Slack began hauling manure to area fruit growers. After WWII, as part of the overall building boom, many growers began building cold storage units for their produce. STORY BY TRT STAFF That was the humble beginnings of Slack Lumber, a family owned and operated business that has grown into a well trusted lumber and building supply dealer which has been serving the people and the builders of the Haldimand County area ever since. “We opened this particular facility in 1949 and although we have expanded a few times – the first major addition was a warehouse we added on in 1961 – the original building is still at the centre of it all, if you look hard enough,” he says.

Neil, along with his brother Randy, run the family business. They have a sister, Sue, whom is a semi-retired doctor practicing in Caledonia, and a retired sister, Nancy who lives in Cayuga, but helps out with the business from time to time as well. “We were still doing lumber and trucking when we started building as well,” he says. “We began building barns, trusses, and that kind of thing when we became a dedicated lumber yard.” “We were doing a lot

of agricultural building and supplies at the time, but as times changed we started doing more homes as it became more predominant around this area, so we expanded to cater to residential building as well,” says Slack. As times have changed, so has Slack Lumber, which has evolved into a major supplier of residential and commercial building supplies, fixtures and hardware to service the needs of a growing and aging population. “That is what has driven us to this latest ex-

pansion with new showrooms with new and different products, and we will continue to grow in that direction,” says Slack. “Now that the aging population has come on mainstream, and is becoming more incapacitated with age, we are having to look closer at that area in both our product and installation lines.” This is the present direction Slack Lumber is heading, and it has dedicated itself to service those needs with the latest products lines and technologies.

A decision was made very early in the business to always pursue the best quality at affordable prices. That overarching principle has driven and sustained the trust customers have had for Slack Lumber over the years, and, although their products and product lines have expanded, that is one thing that has never changed. “Quality is very important to us,” he says. “Both in materials and in our expert installations. We want our products to last and we want our cus-

tomers to be satisfied for years to come.” The combination of the beautiful new showroom, new product lines and the friendly and knowledgeable staff of experts customers have come to expect, this new phase in the growth of Slack Lumber is sure to be appreciated by their neighbours and customers as it continues its growth into the future, while relying on the trustworthy reputation Slack Lumber has earned through the years, since its humble beginnings in 1949.

King George Road is a place where you can find everything you need, including over 500 diferent varieties of coffee at Koffee Korner. PHOTO BY TRT STAFF

Koffee Korner, a cup for everyone BRANTFORD – For coffee drinkers, there’s nothing better than that full-bodied rich cup of Joe in the morning. Some of us can’t start our day without it. Over the last few years there’s been a proliferation of single-serving coffee brewing systems, better known by their brand names, K-cups by Keurig or T-discs by Tassimo. And now there’s a place in Brantford where you can get hundreds of different kinds of coffee for these machines in one convenient location, Koffee Korner. BY TRT STAFF. Koffee Korner is new to the area but not the business, with 18 other locations throughout southern Ontario. The walls of the store are covered from floor to ceiling with different varieties of coffee, over 500 in fact. Most major brands of coffee are available but

Brantford store manager Kaylyn Hamamy invites customers to try different flavours, as customers are free to mix and match, and each cup costs only 66 cents each. “A lot of people come in and are overwhelmed by how much we have for them to choose from,”

says Hamamy. Most of us probably grew up with the automatic drip machines at home and might not have made the leap to the single-serve machines that are now widely available. Kaylyn Hamamy invites everyone to make the switch. She highlights the convenience of the single-serve and adds, “Growing up my parents always had coffee but when my Dad made it, it was always too strong for me.” The single-serve machines ensure you get your coffee just the way you want it, when you want it, without having to spend money at the coffee shop.
