Remembrance Day in Veterans Park

By Chezney Martin

OHSWEKEN – J.C. Hill Elementary School took the opportunity to honour war veterans on Remembrance day last week on Friday, November 11, by marching to veterans park for an honourary assembly.

After a short introduction and two students read stories thanking the veterans, a moment of silence was held in correspondence to CKRZ Radio's Remembrance Day

program.

Cathy Bomberry was awarded a beaded wampum belt as her achievements throughout the years in her service were recognized; top fitness and equipment operator, and army accommodation, achievement and superior units medals.

Cookies made by one of the classes was offered to the other veterans including Gary Hill, Tim Hill, Art Hill, Jesse Gade and Gail Martin.

Out of the wood work

and in light of recognizing the veterans, Cultural Consultant Keith Jamieson said he was really “honoured and thankful” to have been asked to speak.

“There is a plan that has been in the works for quite some time to build something in this park that would address [peace],” said Jamieson.

“We called it a peace monument, and the reason we called it that is really because this whole exercise and the lives that were

“We still haven't learned well enough how to maintain the peace,” he said. “There are still wars and people still die which is terribly, terribly unfor-

tunate, but I think that if we all start to really focus on the idea that it is our responsibility and our obligation to ourselves, to others that we need peace. We cannot survive without peace, so it is essential that we work towards that.”

The monument is hoped to be placed within Veterans Park in the future. Respectful students were then allowed to return to class and enjoy the rest of the day.

Delby Powless Jr. found not guilty of assault

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Two years ago, Six Nations’ Delby Powless Jr. was involved in an altercation outside the Lawson House Inn in Hagersville resulting in aggravated assault charges levied on Powless, which he pled not guilty to.

After a long and stressful wait, the verdict of the jury was finally read by the court in favour of Powless, declaring him not guilty of all charges.

Last week, the jury heard testimony entered

by Powless and that of the other male party in the parking lot fight, as well as that of the bartender who was on duty that night.

Conflicting, ever-changing and erratic testimony by the plaintiff in the case caused jury members to doubt the story as told by the plaintiff while Powless’ recollections of the incident were clear and corroborated and remained unchanged since police arrested Powless at his home the day following the fight.

Powless testified that he and a friend were at the Lawson House watching a Toronto Maple Leafs

game at the bar when an obviously drunken man began following the young female bartender into the private employees office late in the evening.

According to Powless’ testimony, noticing the discomfort of the young bartender, who was working without a bouncer on duty that night, Powless told the guy to back off, setting off a verbal joust between the two men. Powless left the bar to go home about 10 minutes after the man who seemed to be waiting for him.

Powless’ testimony stated that he was attacked and swung at by the man who was obviously drunk and out for a fight. Defending himself, Powless and the man began to do battle, in which Powless quickly gained the upper hand.

“This guy just kept coming so I hit him again, but he still wanted to go,” recalls Powless. “I kept hitting him because he would not stop so I thought I would have to knock the guy out to stop him, so I hit him again.”

The bartender called police and told Powless he had better get out of there, which he did and

went home.

Rumours began quickly swirling that the man had died as a result of the beating, but although he was beaten badly, that proved not to be the case.

“You wouldn’t believe some of the rumours that were going around about me,” Powless recalls.

“It was hard not being able to tell what happened from my perspective since the case was under investigation. In court, his story and the police report contradicted one another several times and the jury believed me.”

But although innocent of anything more than defending himself, there was unfortunate fallout from his place of employment, the Six Nations Child Services, who fired him when the charged were filed forcing him out of the career he loved, working with kids.

Now that Powless has been declared not guilty of the offence, he is hoping to get his job and his soiled reputation back in the near future.

While there is no indication hackers still have access to Casino Rama’s system — there is still concern the stolen details might be published.

Lawyers announced the class action Friday, inviting possible victims including casino patrons, employees and vendors to sign on.

Stolen information was collected during the cyber attack including employee incident reports, payroll data, client information, social insurance

numbers and other highly sensitive information.

Lawyers called the cyberattack a “massive security breech”.

The initiative was passed earlier this fall Toronto City Councillor Mike Layton said in a letter to Indigenous Affairs the initiative was something substantial that the city could to as an act of reconcilliation.

Province donates money to upcoming conference

BY TRT Staff OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Polytechnic has received a $250,000 funding sponsorship from the Province of Ontario for the World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education (WIPCE) in 2017.

WIPCE attracts highly regarded Indigenous education experts and practitioners from around the world, and will be hosted by Six Nations Polytechnic in Toronto next July. The theme of the conference is “A Celebration of Resilience,” and presentations on Truth and Reconciliation will be a key

focus throughout the event.

This international gathering is held every three years and showcases Indigenous-led knowledge, and developments in research, education, and training to share successes and strategies for culturally grounded Indigenous education.

President of Six Nations Polytechnic Rebecca Jamieson said, “support from the Province of Ontario is truly significant as it demonstrates Ontario’s commitment to Indigenous knowledge and education.”

Laurier University Six Nations member awarded at Heritage hosts TRC talks Mississauga Awards Ceremony

By TRT staff

BRANTFORD – Bob Rae, former Ontario premier, Ontario Liberal Leader, and past chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University, will be in Brantford Nov. 16 for the second public lecture in a series about First Nations residential schools and the results of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Rae's lecture, entitled “Healing Hearts and Treaties,” will begin at 7 p.m. in Room RCE 004 in the Research and Academic Centre, Laurier Brantford, 150 Dalhousie St. Rae currently works with First Nations as an advisor, negotiator and legal counsel.

He is the author of five books and teaches at the University of Toronto.

The free public lecture series is presented in association with Laurier Brantford and sponsored by the Friends and Neighbours Group, a grassroots committee of area residents supporting the Woodland Cultural Centre's Save the Evidence Campaign. The campaign, which runs until next spring, is raising money for repairs and renovations to the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School building, one of the last remaining residential school buildings in the country. Rae serves as the honorary patron of the campaign.

“The goal of the lectures is to educate people and promote a community dialogue about the school and reconciliation,” said Rob Knechtel, vice-chair of Friends and Neighbours, who is co-ordinating the series.

Future lectures in the series include: Justice Gethin Edward: A Justice and Reconciliation. Justice Gethin Edward will be speaking on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017.

Edward was named to the Ontario Court of Justice in Brantford in 1996. He led the creation of the first Indigenous Persons Court in the province, where offenders are sentenced based on principles of restorative justice.

Amos Key Jr. will be speaking on Tuesday, Feb.

28, 2017 - Key Jr. is First Nations language director of the Woodland Cultural Centre and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. He is a staunch advocate of the rights of Indigenous people and promotes social change, social enterprise and entrepreneurship to improve the lives of indigenous people.

A speaker in March 2017 has yet to be announced.

At the opening lecture on Oct. 19, about 100 people heard presentations by the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and historian Nathan Tidridge.

The Mohawk Institute was the country's first residential school and operated from 1828 to 1970.

After it closed, it reopened in 1972 as the Woodland Cultural Centre. Recently, major roof leaks have caused significant and costly damage to the residential school building. So far, the Save The Evidence Campaign has received financial support from the Six Nations Elected Council, the City of Brantford and the Province of Ontario as well as other individuals and organizations.

About 150,000 First Nations children were removed from their homes in the 19th and 20th centuries and sent to the mainly church-run schools, sometimes hundreds of miles from home. The children were forced to abandon their own language and culture in order to be assimilated into Canadian society. They lived in substandard conditions and endured physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

When they ultimately returned home – sometimes after a decade or more – they were outsiders in their own communities.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, led

by Justice Murray Sinclair, delivered a report in 2015 that contained 94 "calls to action" on ways that all people – Indigenous and non-Indigenous – can work to heal the wounds left by the residential school system.

By TRT staff NEW CREDIT – David Moses received the Mississauga of the New Credit Cultural and Heritage Award for demonstrating a commitment to awareness and preservation of the Mississauga of the New Credit First Nation cultural, traditions, community and heritage last Thursday.

Moses has been involved in the audio/video sector for the Mississaugas of The New Credit Cultural Committee for more than 15 years. His passion to capture New Credit’s First Nation’s history comes through with every type of media he chooses to use and has always been there to document important events for New Credit.

The man was reported to police to be suicidal but fled before police arrived.

Police said they engaged in a high speed chase with the suspect, who was driving a white Camaro.

The suspect ran one officer off the road and

rear ended another vehicle.

No one was injured in that vehicle.

Loris Brent Hill was eventually arrested after he crashed again with police and hit a hydro pole on Seneca Road. Police said there was a loaded rifle in the front passen-

ger seat.

Hill was held for a 72 hour mental health assessment and charged with a long list of charges including possession of a weapon, flight from police failing to stop at an accident and dangerous driving.

The Beautiful Americas Editorial by Jonathan Garlow

There are many different types of Americas. North America, Central America, South America, Trump’s America, but largely forgotten is the original Americas, which some call Turtle Island or the Turtles Back.

There are millions of people who are unable to see why President Elect Donald Trump is accused of racism. These types can’t understand it. They like his no-nonsense attitude.

Two can play that game.

If the new president wants to make America great again we need to understand how great it really was – and the academics agree it was best before colonization. Here are some very basic truths about the history of real America.

1. Indigenous people say they have been here “since time immemorial” – science suggests 30,000 to perhaps 100,000 years ago. Many American Republicans believe the universe is only 6,000 years old.

2. In the year 1491 there were more humans in the Americas than in Europe.

Many schools even today teach the “Pristine Myth”, that the Americas were mostly uninhabited before Columbus sailed the Atlantic.

3. James Mooney, a “distinguished” ethnographer at the Smithsonian Institution, in 1910, concluded the pre-contact population of the Americas was only one million and because of his reputation the scientific community accepted his

findings without question.

This disinformation is still being taught in some American Republican states.

4. 110 milion was the population figure reached by researcher Henry F. Dobyns, in 1967. He published his article Estimating Aboriginal American Population: An Appraisal of Techniques With a New Hemispheric Estimate, in the journal Current Anthropology. This assessment coincides with accounts such as one by 16th century sailor, Giovanni da Verrazzano, who sailed up the whole east coast of the Americas from Florida to Newfoundland and described it as "densely populated" and so "smoky with Indian bonfires" that you could smell them burning hundreds of miles out at sea.

We need to press pause here to explore why these population estimates matter. Lower numbers massage American guilt. Logically speaking, displacing a few small tribes doesn’t weigh on the conscience as much as being responsible for the destruction of three continents filled with super-populous countries.

University of Saskatchewan Indigenous Education Specialist Lenore Stiffarm says “It's perfectly acceptable to move into unoccupied land, and land with only a few ‘savages’ is the next best thing."

5. In 1539 The Crown of Spain sent Hernando de Soto to the Americas, to literally conquer indigenous (a.k.a. heathen) nations.

Soto brought with him 200 horses, 600 soldiers, and 300 pigs. This began the greatest biological war-

fare campaign of all time.

6. Indigenous people of the Americas had zero immunity to smallpox and the other diseases which mutated from livestock.

Europeans had many centuries to adapt. Turtle Island did not have any horses, cattle or pigs until that moment in history. Indigenous people generally did not domesticate animals, or live in close quarters to them. Ask your indigenous friends if they are lactose intolerant. Important facts.

7. Ph.d Henry F. Dobyns estimated that in the first 130 years of contact about 95 per cent of the people in the Americas died—the worst demographic calamity in recorded history.

If aliens brought diseases to earth that killed 95% of the human population there would only be 373 million people left on the entire planet.

This means the first European settlers to explore many parts of the Americas probably found places that had already been depopulated. The house was empty but the stove was still warm.

Its bad enough for Europeans to discover that their ancestors were responsible for the annihilation of millions lives — making matters worse, turns out these people led incredibly rich lives.

8. There is convincing evidence that shows Indigenous people were extremely busy and cultivated vast gardens – so vast some say the Amazon Rainforest was designed by indigenous people.

Mayan and Incan pyramids are still not fully understood today. The Aztec

capital of Tenochtitlan dazzled Hernán Cortés in 1519; it was bigger than Paris, Europe's greatest metropolis.

9. Pre-contact indigenous cities were absolutely huge, the Cahokia's mound pyramid contains 2.16 billion pounds of soil, unprecedented in history. Located in what is now modern day East St. Louis. In 1250, it was bigger than London, and featured a sophisticated society with an urban centre, satellite villages and thatched-roof houses lining the central plazas.

10. Indigenous people were (and still are!) intellectually sharp and physically beautiful. Let’s let these ancient accolades ring true once more.

“As beautiful in stature and build as I can possibly describe,” – Verrazzano "More amiable to behold, than ... an English dandy in the newest fashion." – British fisherman William Wood “They are artless and generous with what they have, to such a degree as no one would believe but him who had seen it. Of anything they have, if it be asked for, they never say no, but do rather invite the person to accept it, and show as much lovingness as though they would give their hearts.”-Luis de Santangel, 1493

Choosing the ideal candidate Elections on Indian Reserves are not like elections off the reserve where the voting norms are; one candidate and one vote. Here on the Big 6, each voter gets to pick his or her favourite two candidates for each of the District Councillors and one vote for the Chief’s position.

For many young people this will be their first chance to actively participate in a civic election and are probably wondering how to go about deciding which of the four or five nominees should he or she vote for in their district and which of the three nominees for Chief will be the correct one.

For many voters young or old the choice is easy as most people choose his or her family member who has decided to run for office.

However; for those people who are voting for the first time you want to actually study each candidates biography and check out what each candidate has to offer in the way of previous council experience, civic volunteer experience as any candidate should be trustworthy; honest; and approachable. Another good indicator for choosing a particular

person is whether or not he or she has an altruistic attitude (puts the needs of others before themselves).

Now when it comes to electing the Chief Councillor, the best candidate should possess several if not all of the above mentioned attributes as the Chief is the most important position on the council and each of the three candidates deserve to be scrutinized more carefully than the others.

Here in the 2016 election, one could assume the majority of voters will be younger than in previous Band Council Elections and therefore; one could probably deduce that the Chief should also be much younger than in previous years if he or she (the new Chief) will be able to identify with and be able to understand the younger councillors. So; the choice is yours; do you the voting public want more of the same when it comes to electing the 2016 council or should we (the voting public) throw caution to the wind and elect a completely new and unique council and move forward into the future and not backward into the past?

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks True Caretakers

By Rachel A. Snow Long ago, the original voices were raised in harmony with this land.

These voices sounded over the land in prayer, in ceremony, in thankfulness and in concert with all of Creation.

Today we listen to many different voices that purport to speak for the original people of Turtle Island. There are the voices of leadership talking about new relationships.

There are the angry voices raised in protest over land and resource development. There are also numerous voices that speak to the compartmentalization and colonial thinking that infect our people like the foreign diseases brought to this island.

But the loudest voice is silence. The loudest voice is the hopelessness that plagues our communities.

It is the voice of a young child, shuffled through foster homes. It is the voice of an abused mother.

It is the voice of addiction.

It is the voice of poverty.

This is the voice that the colonizers have gifted to our people. The marginalization and despair comes from a deep trauma that is both historical and ongoing. Trauma studies now point to genetic material holding memory.

The memories and the suffering of our people remain in our bodies. It is the memory of shame, hardship, hunger, fear and misery. When the original people have been beaten to this extent, is it any wonder that they “can’t get over it” or that they believe suicide or slow death escaping through addiction is their only solution?

The deaths, that is the suicides of the young people in our communities is the hardest of this reality. When young people are asked what it are they want or what will help, they respond with two requests: their identity and

their language. It is this knowing of oneself that will save future indigenous generations. It is the pride in keeping our languages. It is the pride in keeping our ways that are tied to the land and waters alive. It is the pride in knowing their indigenous existence matters that will give our young people purpose.

Each time deplorable indigenous circumstances peak, new suicides or community deaths, follow.

Then there is a tidal wave of response by the oppressor government leader and the departments that “care about the Indians or aboriginal Canadians”.

Usually solutions involve immediate attention from mainstream mental health or medical personal. How can a mental health person trained in Western science identify with the struggles of indigenous youth? Can they relate to the remoteness or semi-isolation these young people endure everyday? Can they relate to the trauma that these young people carry in the very fibres of their being?

Can they relate to the poor housing conditions, the lack of clean water, recreation or educational services? It is laughable that the Prime Minister and the Federal Minister of Indian Affairs continue to talk about a new relationship without ever having understood the original people.

Then mainstream articles are written. Several editorials will suggest relocation to urban centres or where services are available. This just changes the location of the problem. The identity, language and cultural challenges still exist in or out of urban centres.

The ongoing genocidal programs and policy still affect indigenous people regardless of location.

This is not an issue about access to services.

This is an issue about negating a worldview and way of life to the point that indigenous children no longer know who they are. This is an issue about

offering poorly assimilated services that are failing mainstream and therefore doubly ineffective in dealing with youth facing cultural upheaval.

This is the silence. This is the listening without hearing. This is the root of the genocide that con-

tinues to bring harm to the original stewards and protectors of this land.

There will also be media pieces about the cumulative harms that the indigenous experience.

These articles will empaCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

This land was to be shared equally by all people."

TWO ROW TIMES

Thunderwoman speaks continued from page 7 thize with the ongoing struggle but offer little more than bleeding heart lamentations.

What is the solution?

The solution was and remains with the original people. The solution is that this land was to be shared equally by all people. The indigenous had no concept of ownership because they did not seek to lord over Creation. The indigenous were thankful for the abundance of Turtle Island and happy to share with Creator’s oth-

er children.

This sharing was the basis for the original agreements between the first settler invaders and the keepers of the Eastern Door. Peace and friendship was to guide all future relations on this island. This is the original intent of why Canada – the STATE — exists today.

Canada has inherited the state interest in the land but the original people remain the true caretakers of this island.

It is difficult to convey

this understanding without using the oppressor terminology that lessens the depth of relationship between the indigenous and Creation. However, because the settler-invaders are without comparative concepts, sometimes terminology like ownership, title or landowners are used. For most of the indigenous, it is conceptually incorrect but has become the necessary language that must be used for indigenous voices to be heard.

The saving thought in this sad reality is this voice. The voice that mimics the rivers, the voice that speaks to the plant and wildlife is the voice that will remain. It will remain in the very pieces that have always made this land unique. This voice will remain as an echo and sound through the cosmos. It is this knowledge that the indigenous must remember so that their silence is heard.

Arson suspected in Kanonhstaton house and nearby smoke hut fires

By Jim Windle HALDIMAND – Around 12:30 Tuesday morning, the only house left standing on the former Douglas Creek Estates was destroyed by fire. Arson is expected as the Ontario Fire Marshall began his investigation Tuesday morning. OPP were also at the site with an investigation of their own.

Haldimand Fire Department responded to a call shortly after 12:30 a.m. and by the time they arrived the house was engulfed in smoke and fire.

There was no one in the house at the time of the blaze, however; Six Nations’ Jeff Henhawk has been living at the house but had just left to go to work when the fire erupted.

Henhawk was distraught Tuesday morning after losing all of his possessions in the fire. If that wasn’t enough, his smoke shop on Sixth Line was torched and destroyed the night before.

The last house standing at Kanonhstaton (former Douglas Creek Estates lands) on the outskirts of Caledonia was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning just after midnight. The Ontario Fire Marshall and OPP investigators were still on the scene the next day sifting through the rubble. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE “I’ve lost everything,” said Henhawk.

When asked if he had any idea who might have done this, he turned and looked to the horizon for a long time.

Although not explaining any further, it was obvious to him that someone may be out for him personally for some

reason. He says that even if these two fires were a strange coincidence, he is still out almost everything he owns, he told Two Row Times while standing in the only pair of sweat pants and sweat shirt he is left with.

Following two summers of discontent, all but one of the partially built homes were removed leaving one standing that was used as a headquarters during the standoff, and later after Ontario bought the site from the developers to cool down tensions between Caledonia and Six Nations residents, a few Six Nations residents throughout the years have lived in the house to maintain Six Nations hold on the land.

Highway 6 closed in solidarity with Standing Rock

By Jim Windle HALDIMAND — Drivers on Highway 6 may have thought they were in a time warp Tuesday afternoon at around 4:45 p.m. when traffic was stopped by a gathering of around 60 Six Nations residents and environmentalists.

It was a show of solidarity for the Lakota protesters standing in the way of Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) project in Standing Rock Sioux Territory, North Dakota.

This potentially explosive stand-off is being ignored by most major media outlets, but independent news outlets, social media and users on Facebook have kept the situation on the radar of indigenous people on both sides of the boarder.

Both the Six Nations Elected Council and the Confederacy Council have condemned the action of Enbridge, police and the military and have

Six Nations residents and visiting environmentalists gather around a fire for a prayer for a peaceful demonstration before shutting down Highway #6 at the Kanonhstaton (Douglas Creek), Tuesday evening.

Tuesday, Six Nations people added their voices in support and to the

Grand River Territory.

The demonstration was peaceful and informative as runners handed out leaflets explaining their environmental concerns, which many stranded motorist politely accepted while others angrily rejected.

The handout explained in detail the top concerns on the pipeline system and the dangers to local fisheries, water quality and wildlife a spill of even moderate size would do.

The flier also encourages everyone to help prevent an inevitable disaster by listing the many ways a person can help, right from their own home.

Police closed Argyle Street to direct traffic around the closure and to keep the peace. By press time, the crowd had begun to disburse without incident.

Six Nations man receives Coach of the Year for OWBLL

By TRT staff HAMILTON – The Ontario Lacrosse Association awarded Tony Henhawk, a Hamilton Minor Lacrosse Associations coach, the Coach of the Year award for the Ontario Women’s Box Lacrosse League (OWBLL).

Henhawk, who received the award on Saturday, November 12, has coached the Hamilton midget and Intermediate Girls Teams as well as Hamilton’s Women’s team, the Lady Bengals.

Henhawk’s coaching career started with Six Nations Minor Lacrosse, where he and his brother, Darryl, coached the novice 2 team. Henhawk’s daughter and Darryl’s son were on the team. Henhawk and Darryl continued to move up with this team, coaching them all the way to Intermediate, but he also moved in another direction after deciding that his daughter should play for a girls team in the second year of her bantam season.

After trying to start a girls team with the Six Na-

tions Minor Association and meeting resistance, Henhawk’s daughter found a girls team in Hamilton and he started coaching for both the Hamilton Minor and Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Associations.

Six Nations eventually started a girls program and they are doing very well. Henhawk had been asked and was considering coaching the Six Nations girls at that time. But even though it might have made balancing his coaching responsibilities and schedule easier, he could not leave the girls from Hamilton as they had become just like family to him.

The Six Nations girls program has grown quickly and successfully and Henhawk is happy that he has been able to maintain a great relationship with the Six Nations girls coaches, managers and players.

Henhawk finds it especially interesting playing against Six Nations as he has had the chance to match wits and strategy with one of his fellow Rez Dog players Kevin Porter or with one of

In 2012 the Hamilton Midget team even made a record for the longest

game and over time periods for a B division Provincial Championship game, that record was broken the following year by another Hamilton girls team playing the same opponent.

Also 2012 the Intermediate team coached by Tony and Bud Powless won the B division Ontario Provincials with eight players against Wallaceburg who had a full roster.

Tony has received several awards for his coaching: in 2011, the girls from his team nominated him for the Zone 9 coach of the year, which he won and received the award at the 2011 Ontario Lacrosse Associations AGM. The following year, the Hamilton Minor Lacrosse Association awarded Tony with their Coach of the Year Award.

Tony’s love for lacrosse has seen him coaching and playing lacrosse with many different levels and ages: Minor in Six Nations and Hamilton, Women’s in Hamilton, Clinics for girls and ladies in Brantford, Hamilton and Six Nations,

Men’s in Six Nations and helping the coaches run and select ladies for the Ontario National Women’s team all while still playing in the Men’s Masters league.

Tony is well known and respected in the Lacrosse World which is demonstrated by the Women’s Team that consists of Assistant Coaches Jason Fox from Wallaceburg Minor, Rain VanGoozen from London Minor, Ken Budarick from Burlington, Glen Amis from Hamilton, Bob Hollingsworth from Brantford and Trainer Tracey Mullen from Hamilton.

The team also has players from Wallaceburg (who were defeated by Tony and Bud Powless’ Intermediate girls mentioned earlier), Sarnia, Plymouth-Wyoming, Brantford, Six Nations, Burlington, Oakville, Akwasasne and Hamilton which even boasts a 53-year-old player this past season.

Rosewater Crafts prepares for Christmas open house

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Twenty years ago Florence Styres started creating and crafting in her home to keep herself busy; when the business started to pick up, the Six Nations mother of five opened a fully operational retail store in her basement.

“I started with seasonal Christmas open houses, decorating for weddings, interior design work for businesses, painting homes, craft shows, and then I eventually opened the retail store — Rosewater Crafts,” says Styres.

As her family grew and their needs changed, Styres found it necessary to scale back a bit and focus more on turning her home business into a comfortable, relaxing space for her customers to feel at home in while they shop. Her products are displayed how you might expect to see them displayed in a home

— tastefully made and well-crafted.

Styres says that working from home has given her time to focus on the important things like her family.

“I’ve found it convenient and easier to manage household chores, my business, and I still have time for me and my family.”

Rosewater Crafts boasts very reasonable pricing on a wide variety of different products.

“My prices are lower since I have no rent payments and I’m able to provide a different shopping

experience in a homey atmosphere,” she says. “I sell re-purposed furniture, florals, home decor, native art and I’ve recently started to paint and write poetry.”

Styres finds painting and writing therapeutic and relieving and says her loyal customers have appreciated the change of pace and new products that are now available.

“I try as much as I can to create things made out of natural materials because I find people are drawn to nature.”

As the holiday season is drawing near, Styres

has begun turning her basement into a winter wonderland full of cheery snowmen, beautifully designed Christmas trees, wreaths, homemade art and more. Right now she is preparing for Rosewater Craft’s Christmas open house taking place the first weekend of December.

“We’ll be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday

from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the first weekend of December and it’s just an opportunity for the community to come take a closer look at what I offer here,” says Styres. “We’ll have hot chocolate here and some baking, it should be a great time.”

Rosewater Crafts is only able to accept cash and credit card, but in the future debit cards may be

accepted. Styres is very thankful for all the customers who have helped her and her business throughout the years.

“It’s a joy to be able to do something I love and have someone appreciate it enough to buy it,” she says.

It comes with the territory:

Opposing corporate oil in Trump’s America

By Nahnda Garlow STANDING ROCK SIOUX TERRITORY — Since August of this year indigenous and environmental defenders have had their eyes on the stand taken by the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation against the Dakota Access oil pipeline (DAPL) crossing their traditional territory and boring beneath the Missouri river — their source of drinking water.

Now, nearly three months after that hard line-in-the-sand standoff began, tensions have grown to a place where many find themselves asking the question: Will it ever stop?

That question is, unfortunately, not just for the pipeline construction.

Hundreds of reports of human rights violations and indigenous treaty right violations have been reported to state and federal officials.

The United Nations issued a statement this week confirming what water protectors at the opposition camps have stated all along — that private security, state police and Dakota Access pipeline workers are breeching the rights of people opposing the pipeline.

It reads, “The rights of the Sioux peoples are recognized and affirmed in their treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements with the United States, in various court decisions, in the US

Not everyone is thrilled about the anti-pipeline action. This man fired shots into the air, threatening water defenders and demonstrators.

Constitution and in international human rights instruments. Despite such recognition, their rights are being violated by decisions made with respect to the pipeline project traversing un-ceded Sioux territory.”

The UN statement said they have received and support a human rights appeal from the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. The

statement urged both Special Rapporteurs from the Forum and the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to intervene.

On Tuesday, 23 members of the United States Congress sent a letter to the White House, urging President Obama to hold North Dakota accountable for their heavy handed actions toward demonstra-

tors.

The Congress wrote, ”Recent reports show an escalation in force with riot gear, batons, armed vehicles, sound cannons, and pepper spray being deployed against the demonstrators, resulting in over one hundred arrests.

As part of this show of force, the [Morton] County Sheriff’s Department called for additional re-

sources from other states under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), with assistance being provided from state and local officials of Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, Indiana and Nebraska.”

This they say, was not a correct use of the EMAC, which was put in place to assist Americans in the event of a natural disaster.

The letter goes on to say, “Its use for additional law enforcement personnel and equipment to respond to this peaceful demonstration is part of a trend away from historical precedent; the EMAC was used following protests after the Freddie Gary murder in Baltimore, Maryland, and in advance of the expected protests at this year’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.”

According to the letter, North Dakota will be requesting federal reimbursement to cover the estimated $10 million it has expended in “protecting the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. We should strongly oppose the use of federal funds to bail out North Dakota for it’s decision to expedite the construction of this controversial $3.8 billion pipeline project by pushing aside and jailing demonstrators.”

The letter also requests the federal government step in and take action to deploy observers to

ensure water protectors and journalists on site are safe.

“Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has called the protests “criminal behaviour,” and blames the water protectors for these recent events,” the concerned Congressmen write. “This rhetoric is consistent with efforts to undermine press freedoms at the site, including the three felony conspiracy charges, which could carry up to 45 years in prison, that were brought against one journalist.

This legal pursuit of reporters is worrying, and is why representatives from both Amnesty International and the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues are on the ground to observe and investigate the treatment of demonstrators.”

For the most part — both water protectors and media covering the opposition — have been assaulted, disrespected and terrorized by parties who are pushing for the pipelines completion.

This past week video footage shows a Dakota Access pipeline construction worker pull a handgun on a crowd of indigenous water protectors.

Witnesses say the man drove away from the roadway and toward a group of water protectors who were involved in a prayer circle near the pipe’s construction path. The driver then pulled his weapon out at a female water pro-

tector aiming the gun at her head and fired seven shots into the air. He is then seen on video, fleeing in his vehicle and hitting two people with his truck on exit.

During another recent direct action to reclaim a burial site occupied by police, a white journalist, Erin Schrode, was shot at point blank range by a Morton County officer with “non-lethal” ammunition.

That incident was also caught on dramatic video by the victim and shared across social media over a million times.

The ammo, it turns out, was not a rubber bullet but in fact a heavy bean bag round loaded into a grenade launcher. Ammunition not intended for human targets — but to knock down doors to rescue trapped victims during a natural disaster.

In the video, it is clear the journalist was not anywhere near any kind of mob action or dispute requiring police to intervene with weaponry. She

was, however, interviewing an indigenous man on-camera to publish and share his story from the inside.

Later, Morton County officials told press they had no record of the weapon being fired into the crowd and no reports of a woman being shot.

Conveniently, officers that day were permitted to go ‘anonymous’ in the field.

In combination with reported uses of technology to scramble wireless connectivity near front line clashes with law enforcement — limiting the images, video and messages that are reaching the wider public — a lot of people are wondering if this what the new America, Trump’s America, is going to look like.

The concern, and for some fear, is that president-elect Donald Trump — who ironically campaigned against what he called the “corrupt media” — will ensure the pipeline is completed as soon as possible.

Investigations by na-

tional media revealed Trump is financially invested in Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), the corporation that owns the pipeline. North Dakota’s Republican Senator Jack Dalrymple is also known to be financially tied to the pipeline.

Now combine this with last week’s announcement

by Enbridge declaring a worse-than-expected quarter from North Dakota’s oil fields and Monday’s emphatic declaration by ETP that oil will flow through the DAPL in 2017 — and you start to get a picture of what the ‘pro’ camp is desperately fighting for.

Tuesday was declared a National Day of Action, with thousands of Americans attending planned demonstrations around Army Corps of Engineers offices to implore President Barak Obama to stop the pipeline.

The Indigenous Environmental Network, Honor the Earth, and the Native Organizers Alliance were joined by thousands

Six Nations community members and musicians Mojo aka Sweet Doctor and Shilo Hill have been visiting Standing Rock and here is a picture of them connecting with water defenders. of people standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples at Standing Rock, and with the support from other climate and social justice groups across the country.

The groups released a statement saying “the rallies were a powerful opportunity for allies across movements to unite in solidarity with Indigenous peoples in Standing Rock and to strengthen the resistance movement to fight against fossil fuels and white supremacy under the Trump administration.”

The US Army Corps of Engineers released a statement saying they were not prepared to permit the pipeline to cross federal lands unless and until further discussions can take place to respect Sioux treaty rights and concerns for water safety.

“While these discussions are ongoing, construction on or under Corps land bordering

Lake Oahe cannot occur because the Army has not made a final decision on whether to grant an easement. The Army will work with the Tribe on a timeline that allows for robust discussion and analysis to be completed expeditiously.”

Lawyers for ETP filed a lawsuit late Tuesday, charging the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has no right to delay easement to pipeline construction.

In response, Tribal Chairman for Standing Rock David Archambault said, “Dakota Access is so desperate to get this project in the ground that it is now suing the federal government on the novel theory that it doesn’t need an easement to cross federal lands. They are wrong and the lawsuit will not succeed. We are looking forward to discussing the easement with the Administration and explaining why it must be denied.”

Dakota Access previ-

ously told the Court that if they were not delivering oil on Jan. 1, 2017, their shipper contracts would expire and the project would be in jeopardy.

Archambault said DAPL is “rushing to get the pipeline in the ground hastily to meet that deadline” and says “the only urgency was created by their own reckless choice to build the pipeline before it had all the permits to do so.”

Archambault said DAPL “chose to reroute this pipeline away from Bismarck and put it at our doorstep and through our treaty lands and sacred places, even after we told them that it could not pass here. They made bad decisions and are now facing the consequences. The tide is turning against this project. We thank all of our water protectors who have raised their voices against it. You are being heard.”

Six Nations Tourism features renowned local artist

By TRT staff

SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Tourism celebrates the opening of a new art installation featuring local Six Nations artist, Arnold Jacobs.

“Six Nations Tourism works with local artists to portray the true history and culture of the Six Nations People,” says

Constance Jamieson, Six Nations Tourism manager.

“We value and appreciate the local talent that we have here on Six Nations and we are delighted to be able to feature such a renowned artist.”

Jacobs is the owner of Two Turtle Art Gallery located on the Six Nations Reserve. His artistic images range from con-

temporary graphics and realism, to the mystical which reveal his deeply felt emotions and pride in his Haudenosaunee heritage. His versatility has also lead Jacobs to create a clothing design line, clan jewelry, framed art cards, and even architecture. Jacobs’ installation includes an original painting depicting the Haudenos-

aunee creation story valued at more than $50,000, as well as many prints that showcase Haudenosaunee history and culture both in the past and in the present.

Jacobs is an Onondaga artist raised within the traditional culture and language of Six Nations of the Grand River territory, where he resides with his family. He works are an expression of his connection to his spirituality; his symbols of the earth and

sky, water, wind, thunder, moon and sun, along with other related themes depicts the traditional ways of the Haudenosaunee, their clans and culture.

In addition to the installation, visitors will also be able to take a guided tour of the Six Nations Tourism Centre by Cultural Co-ordinator, Alysha Longboat.

Here they will be able to hear about Haudenosaunee culture and local history as well as view black ash baskets created

by Kimberly White-Atkins and Haudenosaunee raised beadwork and replica wampum belts created by Yvonne Thomas, from the Jake Thomas Learning Centre.

The installation is open to the public, free of charge during regular business hours Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 2498 Chiefswood Rd, Ohsweken, Ont. The installation will be on display until July 2017.

Bigger dreams for next year’s canoe paddle

By Jayson Koblun GRAND RIVER TERRITORY – Ellie Joseph, organizer for the “Two Row on the Grand” canoe paddle, has big dreams for herself and the rest of her group next summer, but is in need of government funding to make them happen.

“The ‘Two Row on the Grand’ canoe paddle is a symbolic renewal of the Two Row Wampum— the original peace-treaty between First Nation and settler communities,” said Joseph last summer during the paddle. Joseph’s aim with the event is to bring indigenous and non-indigenous people together to talk about and raise awareness of the original treaty signed 400 years ago.

Next summer will mark the group’s third year of operation. This past summer a group of about 80 participants in total paddled the Grand

Joseph and a few representatives of the group came to Six Nations Elected Council last night on November 15 to ask elected council for a Resolution of Support; a document that Joseph needs to bring to the Ontario Trillium Foundation when applying for a grant.

“We want to make the paddle bigger from now on, we just need some help,” said Joseph. “The event was a huge success last summer and in the future we want to be able to put a large focus on getting more youth involved.”

Elected Council said they would offer the letter of support to Joseph, but reminded her that their letter doesn’t guarantee a successful grant application, as Six Nations Elected Council is only able to put two names forward to the Ontario Trillium Foundation under it’s donee status.

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child In Child Friendly Language

“Rights” are things that every child should have or be able to do. All children have the same rights.

These rights are listed in the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child. Almost every country has agreed to these rights.

Encouraging children to be the building ‘bricks’ of their own future ENGAGE — In the land of toys and imaginary creatures resides the wondrous world of tiny humans. It is these young leaders who deserve to be treated, encouraged and celebrated for their potential to create a brighter future for generations to come.

National Child Day commemorates two key documents solidifying children’s rights: The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

These documents give Canadian children the

rights to make important decisions, be protected, and most importantly, be treated with respect.

“Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto gives kids a platform to interact and innovate with other young minds,” says Lara Hannaford, Marketing Manager. “It also gives parents an opportunity to engage and bond with their little ones, as they use their imagination to create something wonderful and unique.”

Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto is a 34,000 square-foot indoor attraction featuring more than 3 million Lego

bricks, geared towards children ages 3-10 and their families.

On November 20th, Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto will be offering $3 off their regular walkin admission in honour of National Child Day. Tickets provide access to all aspects of the attraction, including the 4D Cinema, Kingdom Quest Laser Ride & Lego Racers: Build & Test.

“With several workshops to challenge their creative minds, children can walk into Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto and feel larger than life,” adds Lara. “The

Centre gives youngsters the opportunity to build a world they’re proud to live in, and gives us the

opportunity to celebrate the innovative minds of tomorrow.”

Akwesasne and Kahnawa:ke children go to Disney

By TRT staff

AKWESASNE TERRITORY – There were tears, cheers and smiles from ear-to-ear on the morning of Nov. 2 as eight children from Akwesasne and Kahnawa:ke waved goodbye to their families and walked up the steps to their awaiting airplane, beginning their unforgettable all expenses paid trip to Walt Disney World.

The children, along with more than one hundred others from ages seven to 11 from Quebec, were selected to take part in Canada’s Dreams Take Flight, a charity and volunteer organization that brings children with life challenges on a trip to Walt Disney World, via a private Air Canada jet donated by the airline. It was a group of Air Canada employees who created the charity organization years ago in Toronto, and flights

expanded to cities across Canada.

Akwesasne’s children – Meesha Sylvester, Ruckus Gray, Iehrakwas Peters, and Memphis Johnson Thompson – were included on the flight thanks to a gracious offer from Kahnawa:ke. Kahnawa:ke has been connected to the charity by a community

member of theirs – Ken Bourque – who is a former Air Canada employee.

Kahnawa:ke has been participating in Dreams Take Flight for 14 years, and this year, with just a few weeks to go before takeoff, the charity organization said there was going to be a bigger plane and they would be able to include more children.

Kahnawa:ke Chief Bobby Patton contacted Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Chief April Adams-Phillips, Chief Troy Thompson and Chief Tim Thompson with an invitation for Akwesasne children to participate. The chiefs worked with the Akwesasne Child & Family Services to identify children who fit the criteria and the families with the assistance of ACFS staff rushed to complete all of

the necessary paperwork and medical exams. It was a team effort that Akwesasne was very glad to have been a part of.

The Akwesasne and Kahnawa:ke children arrived at the Montreal airport together with their families, ACFS staff and chiefs from both communities at around 5 a.m. the morning their adventure was to begin. After registering, they entered an airplane hangar that was buzzing with excitement as volunteers held a going away celebration that was an adventure in its own.

Firemen, pilots, and police all had their trucks, planes and cars on display, and characters danced and hugged the children – some of whom were jumping up and down with anticipation.

called to invite him, he had said he really wanted to go to Walt Disney World,” said Ruckus Gray’s aunt Maddie Johnson. Ruckus was unable to contain his happiness and excitement in the airport hangar, as he repeatedly looked around at all the action, at the big plane waiting outside, and hugging his family member out of pure joy. He clutched a Disney autograph book and went over the characters’ names on the cover.

Ronkwas Peters said her daughter, Iehrakwas, has always wanted to go to Disney World and that she had been researching the rides especially.

“It was hard keeping it a secret from her for 10 days and her face was incredible when she found out,” Ronkwas said. “What was harder was how she turned around and said ‘Later!’ and got right on the plane!”

Doctors, nurses, aides, pilots and dozens of other volunteers take the trip with the children, flying them to Orlando, Florida where they are taken to Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom for a day of magical fun, skipping all the lines for rides and food, spending free vouchers in the Disney gift shops, and being treated like royalty by the Dreams Take Flight team.

After a very long day, the children are flown home the same night. The Mon-

treal crew arrived back at about midnight Wednesday, delivering some tired but elated children back home with stories and memories to last for a lifetime.

Dreams Take Flight targets children who have never been to Walt Disney World or any Disney owned theme park and who have socially, physically or mentally challenged backgrounds.

“We are thankful to the Mohawk Council of Kahnawa:ke for sharing such a great opportunity with us,” said Chief April Adams-Phillips. “I know our kids had an amazing trip that they were well deserving to have … we are proud that our positive ties with MCK lead to such a rewarding experience for the children and us as well. Words can’t describe the emotions in the airport hangar that morning.

It was just incredible how many caring people there were making this all possible.”

Katie Cook, an ACFS Caseworker, travelled to the airport along with Case Worker Neomie Diagostino to help send the children off.

“We are fortunate in ACFS to be able to work with children all the time, and to see them as excited as they were was a very rewarding moment in my career," Cook said.

Anti-Trump voices protest election results

By Nahnda Garlow

NEW YORK — Rioting has erupted on the streets of several US urban centres following the news of Donald Trump’s election win Wednesday morning.

Over 100,000 protesters marched through New York City chanting and reacting to Trump’s win.

Similar marches took place in Portland, Minneapolis, Philadelphia

and Chicago.

Social media accusations went viral Thursday after numerous accounts of widespread sexual assaults and hate crimes initiated by Trump supporters were reported across the country.

Trump turned to Twitter to address the rioting, saying those opposing his election win are professional protestors influenced by the media.

Nipissing University holds Indigenous Week in North Bay

By Jayson Koblun NORTH BAY – Nipissing University hosted several different indigenous activities recently to celebrate Indigenous Week at it’s North Bay campus.

Nipissing University is located on the traditional lands of Nipissing First Nation, an Anishnaabe community along the shores of Lake Nipissing in northern Ontario with several First Nations located within a 100 kilo-

metre radius. James Bay Cree, Algonquin and Metis peoples also live, go to school and work in the City of North Bay, making up almost eight per cent of the population.

The Office of Aboriginal Initiatives (OAI) at the university fosters an intergenerational, culturally responsive learning community on campus through academic, personal and cultural support.

Indigenous Week

launched last Monday, on October 31, with John Sawyer of Nipissing First Nation providing teachings on smudging in the office of Aboriginal Initiatives, a great beginning to a week full of indigenous teachings.

Fighting the stigma of women's lacrosse When people from out of town ask “where did lacrosse come from?”

They're typically met with the response “the Creator gave it to us,” or a laugh and a sly “don't worry about it”.

Although not only the Haudenosaunee play lacrosse, its origins are usually told in relation to the Creation Story of Turtle Island from the Haudenosaunee. The story tells that the Creator and his negative twin used the game as one of many determining factors of who would rule the day or night. Since it's first mentions in the Creation Story, the game has since been used by the Haudenosaunee to enhance physical skill, as a medicine, and to help in making decisions.

But in it's early forms, Haudenosaunee lacrosse was played with up to and more than 100 men in between two posts which served the same purpose as nets. It wasn't played in an arena either; it was played through about five kilometres of terrain; meadow, ravines, and forest. If that sounds strenuous; add to it that the only rule was to not touch the ball with your hands that the game could last several days.

So imagine playing this game. You've just got the ball in your stick in thick forest and you now have to book it to your opponents post, which means you have to run around trees and dodge other players attempting to ambush you.

Also, your opponents can hit you with a stick made of solid hickory and could be hidden in trees, or under a bed of moss?

With the above description, it is easy to understand why this game was solely played by men, and revered as a man's sport.

It was strenuous, it was tough and it was aggressive. This game was con-

sidered ‘the little brother of war’ for the very reason that it was used to prepare and hone the skills Haudenosaunee men used in war and hunting.

As the game was colonized and changed around from its former glory, it became much calmer and less strenuous on the body. But, don't be fooled. This game

still get's it reputation for being the fastest game on two feet, and being much faster than soccer.

As the game was colonized, more and more women started to show interest. More and more women stopped viewing the game as solely a man's sport because it was no longer the game that it

was. As well, lacrosse is still inherited in many families as a generational birth right and for families with no sons, sometimes daughters take it upon themselves to play to carry the game.

This act of carrying the game inspired the documentary film Keepers of the Game.

The film sheds light upon the triumphs of an all-native girls lacrosse team from Salmon River High in Fort Covington, N.Y., as they aim to become the first native women's

team to win a Section Championship. Their rivals, Massena High, is only one obstacle to overcome as the uncertainty of their own community holding weight as the girls fight to prove their right to play.

With the morality of whether or not women should play lacrosse; a response to the documentary film came a little over a week ago from Denise Miller, a starting goal tender at Trent University.

“As I watched the documentary Keepers of the Game based on a lacrosse

journey to win a high school championship had me feeling proud, excited but yet sad all at the same time. The movie portrayed an understandable outlook in addressing some issues we face as Onkwehonwe Peoples in regards to women playing lacrosse, obstacles we face as young youth, and experiences within the education system.

Both field and box lacrosse have taken full storm in Six Nations, as players have been multiplying year after year. Skill levels have risen and scouts regularly visit provincial games to find players suited for the opportunity to play for a university; girls box lacrosse players are often scouted for their ability to play defensive positions once they switch to field, while field players are often selected for offensive power and endurance. ences these young women had to face while playing the game they loved. It hit home for me — seeing the young ladies with so much talent and passion for the game with only a little opportunity to excel.”

Miller, 22, lists that she does have questions in regards to the leaders and negotiators in the system; including why leaders and negotiators oftentimes have never experienced the same struggles as Haudenosaunee women playing lacrosse, and could only be there for personal benefit rather than creating a system that provides opportunity for growth to excel as Haudenosaunee athletes. She also explained that instead of criticizing women that play, there are other issues that are far more important.

“Some men and government systems complain and cause additional harm on Haudenosaunee women by stating what we can/ cannot do. But yet we don't

address issues that are far worse than women playing with a non-traditional stick. Why not address reasonable issues that continue to negatively affect Haudenosaunee communities? Like men abusing women and children, sexual violence, and women being silenced within the family home for far to long,” she wrote.

“The game of lacrosse enables individuals to feel confident and proud to be Haudenosaunee but in this case, particularly Haudenosaunee women. We are able to represent our people playing something we love and makes us feel important. For the minutes, hours, and even seconds we’re able to express ourselves and feel confident in doing it,” she wrote.

“This game is more than just personal vendettas and we need to move forward together in order to make a better future for our young. But hey, it won't be like that forever.

There are so many talent-

ed, educated, positive, and powerful young women coming up that will change the system and I look forward in seeing the change

needed to help build future leaders.”

This shows that even though girls and women’s field lacrosse is a large

branch of provincial and national lacrosse; there is still work that needs to be done to focus on the players simply as athletes and

as individuals. If you'd like to check out the trailer for Keepers of the Game, head to the Tribeca Films channel on Youtube.

Six Nations' Brandon Montour is only one step away from making his NHL debut with the Anaheim Ducks. As a defenseman, Montour is second in team scoring so far this season with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL with four goals and eight assists. Last season, in 68 games, he earned 12 goals and 45 assists.

Montour patiently waiting the call

By Jim Windle CALIFORNIA – A San Diego radio commentator called Six Nations’ Brandon Montour, the "heart and soul" of the San Diego Gulls, AHL affiliates to the NHL Anaheim Ducks.

He went on the say, “as amazing and one of the best defence men the AHL has ever seen. I think they even said you are magic on ice. Totally agree!! We are so lucky to know you and to get to watch you play. Thank you for all your effort out there —

every game — and for he is, being such a nice guy, too!”

Of course anyone who has watched him grow up in the Six Nations community and excel as both a world-class lacrosse star and a hockey star would already know that.

After 10 games so far in the young season, Montour, a defenseman, scored a powerplay goal for the Gulls at 1:01 of the third period to register his fourth multi-point contest of the season.

Montour now sits 4th

among AHL defenseman in points (3-7=10) and leads the league in shots (57).

Friday night, Montour earned a goal and an assist to lead the Gulls to a 3-2 win over the Manitoba Moose. The next night did the same in the rematch.

Most NHL teams will hold a budding defenseman a little longer in the AHL to gain the pro-experience they will need in the bigs.

Judging by his performance and the insiders

reports on Montour, it is only a matter of when, not if, he debuts as an Anaheim Duck.

The Ducks are currently in third place in the Pacific Division and are pretty balanced as a team, but it appears Montour could be a trade or an injury away from his big chance.

Dreamcatcher Tournament ends with a barnburner

The two finalist teams in this year's Dreamcatcher Lacrosse Tournament held at the ILA gather for a final shot together after the Six Nations Heat and the Six Nations Grizzlies battled to the final buzzer with the Grizzlies coming out on top with a 8-7 win. Grizzlies are: Trey Adams, Warren Hill, Cory Bomberry, Travis Bland, Lyle Thompson, Quinn Powless, Roger Vyse, Jake Bomberry, Riley Miller, Mark Delisle, Oakly Thomas, Jake Crans, Mike Miller, Tom Montour, Ashton Jacobs, Chayton King, Wenster Green and Rodd Squire Jr. For the Heat it was Randy Staats, Joe Hill, Sal Martin, Kedoh Hill, Wizz VanEvery, Murray Porter, Dahn Smith, Steve Keogh, Brier Jonathan, Riley Johnson, Cole Jamieson, ?, ?, ?, Austin Staats, Jeremy Thompson, Drake Smith, Doug Jamieson and Angus Goodleaf.

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – It all came down to two talent-laden Six Nations teams for this year’s Dreamcatcher Lacrosse Tournament hosted at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Up for grabs was a cheque for $3,000 to be disbursed between the players, but most of all, it was a friendship tournament where players from all participating teams

got a chance to get reacquainted with former teammates and opponents.

There were times when players would line up for a face-off and fire a joke at the same guy he pasted along the boards on the next play. Add to that, a three-day display of incredible talent from junior age stars to recently retired NLL’ers and everything between. The Dreamcatcher Tourna-

ment is like that.

That’s not to say there was no intensity on the floor because there certainly was, and it lasted all weekend.

But when it came down to the final two, it was the Heat, versus the Grizzlies, both adorned with some of the best junior, senior and NLL players in the game.

At the opening faceoff for the Championship final, it didn’t look good

for the Grizzlies. The Heat had an overflowing bench of players pumped and ready to go. On the Grizzly’s side they had eight runners and a goalie. It didn’t stay that way for very long as more and more Grizzlies started drifting in from the dressing room to compliment their number.

The Griz were the ones to come out hot and shocked the Heat with a 4-0 first period lead. The Heat got things going with a powerplay goal scored by Austin Staats, from Randy Staats and Wizz VanEvery.

Austin Staats blew a gasket on the referee five minutes into the second period and was ejected from the game, but on the ensuing powerplay Roger Vyse scored a shorthanded goal to make it 5-1 for the Griz.

Dhane Smith scored the Heat’s second goal with an outside rocket past Doug Jamieson from Kedoh Hill and Jeremy Thompson.

Lyle Thompson put a 6-2 cushion under the Grizzly lead but the Heat

was not nearly done yet.

goal at 6-5.

Cory Bomberry rifled in the 7-5 marker for the Grizzlies with six minutes left but Drake Smith got that one back bringing the Heat one goal away from an even game.

Jamieson found Alex Kedoh Hill with no one around him at centre floor and lobbed a perfect pass into his stick, which he buried to tie the game at 7-7.

Delby Powless Sr. and Jr. helped co-ordinate the tournament and were both pleased with the way things went.

“That last game was great,” said Delby Jr. following the tournament. “I

think the fans really liked it. It was a really good game, I though it was going to overtime until Lyle scored.”

There was no tournament last year making this the third annual.

Delby Sr., who is also a local comedian, emceed the event and thanked the players and fans for making the tournament a success.

The Grizzlies called their final time-out with 29.1 seconds left to set up a last play and the play worked perfectly as Lyle Thompson scored the game winner with 17 seconds left.

He got another chance

when the Heat pulled the goalie for a last seconds push. Thompson snagged a pass and ran the floor towards an empty net with no one anywhere near him. But instead of shooting to score an easy goal, in a show of sportsmanship and out of respect for his opponents, Thompson chose not to shoot and held the ball until the final buzzer sounded for the 8-7 win.

Warren Hill won Player of the Championship Game honours. The Heat received a cheque for $1000 and the Grizzly’s shared $3000.

Corvairs outscore opponents H a g e r s v i l l e Hawks slip into 28-2 in weekend games

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The ProFit Corvairs had an easy weekend, defeating the Pelham Panthers 10-2, Friday night followed by a 18-0 trouncing of the Buffalo Regals, Saturday night in Caledonia. The Regals, in their first year in the league, were outshot 80-9, that’s right, 80-9.

The wins padded the Pro-Fit Corvairs’ first place hold on the division while the Buffalo loss sunk the Regals even further into the sub-basement with an embarrassing 0-22 record.

It is questionable if the Regals will finish the season at all. They are being pummelled by every other team in the league and it is having an effect on the commitment of both the team management and the players. Saturday night they showed up at the Haldimand Centre Arena with 10 skaters and a goalie.

Corvairs goalie Daniel Chenard could have stayed on the bench all

night and the Corvairs still would have won the game, picking up probably his easiest shutout of his career.

It seemed like Kodie Oude Vashaar, on the other hand, could have needed oxygen and treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after standing in front of 80 shots mak-

ing 62 saves.

Friday night in St. Catharines, the Falcons crushed Buffalo 21-1.

Not wishing to watch the bloodbath, there were only 90 fans to begin the game and even fewer by the time the game ended.

The Corvairs will have to give themselves a cold splash of water to wake

them up for this week’s games, which will be much tougher than last.

Friday and Saturday nights they will be up against the second place St. Catharines Falcons, in St. Catharines Friday night at 7 p.m., followed by a Saturday night return match in Caledonia at 7:30 p.m.

The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs took a bit of a holiday last week outscoring Pelham 10-2 Friday and Buffalo 18-0. This week a home-and-home series against the second place St. Catharines Falcons, Friday in St. Kitts and Saturday night at Caledonia. FILE PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

sixth place

By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – A 6-4 loss to the visiting Niagara Riverhawks slipped the Hagersville Hawks into sixth place in the Southern Conference Jr. C rankings, after having the game stolen by a hot Niagara goalie, in Daniel Kocsis who faced 35 Hagersville shots while Stephen Tierney was tasked with 20 shots to handle.

It was a game determined by special teams as Niagara capitalized on four of six powerplay opportunities while Hagersville went two-foreight in that category.

It was 2-2 after the first period and 3-3 after two. Niagara broke loose in the rough and tumble third period when the referees worked hard to keep the game from going completely off the rails as nasty feelings began to surface between the combatants.

Hagersville goals were scored by Zach Carr, with

two and Nick Chariot and Jake Stevenson added a goal apiece.

But it’s not time to worry much about that yet.

The Hawks are still within striking distance of both the Dundas Blues and the Port Dover Sailors, who are only one point ahead. Hagersville has also played fewer games than both the Sailors and the Blues.

The Riverhawks and the Hawks skated stride for stride in the first two periods before the wild third period resulted in three Niagara goals, two on powerplays. Chariot’s goal came on a Hagersville powerplay with less than one minute remaining.

The Hawks hosted the Dunnville Mudcats Sunday night where This week’s only game of the week is a Saturday night tilt with the Simcoe Storm in Hagersville, Nov. 19th, at 7:30 p.m.

New A.L.L. to replace CLax this season

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The big void left in the winter lacrosse season when the Canadian Lacrosse League folded at the end of last year is going to be filled by a brand new men’s league that will be known as the Arena Lacrosse League, or A.L.L. The inaugural season will see teams including the: Six Nations Snipers; Paris River Wolves; Toronto Monarchs; St. Catharines Shock Wave; Oshawa Outlaws; and the Peterborough Timbermen.

The new six team team league will have many players from the old CLax plus a few more. The Six Nations Snipers, coached general manager will be

Jake Henhawk and they are making a play for Stew Monture to head coach, but that has not been solidified to date.

“It’s an excellent opportunity to be part of something that is just getting off the ground for players looking to get to the next level as well as coaches and people in the management group. The timing is also crucial as NLL teams would prefer to bring in players that are gameready and in game-shape.

This is a great chance for

players, especially the younger guys, who wish to invest in their future prospects of reaching the next level” says Henhawk.

Henhawk recently completed his third season as the General Manager of the Six Nations Junior A Arrows, winning back-toback Minto Cups in 2014 and 2015. He is entering his second season as a Scout for the Vancouver Stealth of the NLL and previously served as GM of the Mississauga Junior A Tomahawks, as well as the team’s Head Coach from 2010 through 2012.

“We would like to have smart players that can push the pace on both ends of the floor. Fans in Six Nations are accustomed to watching highly skilled teams from the minors all the way up to the senior level and we will not disappoint” he added.

The A.L.L. unveiled its inaugural schedule announcing each team will play 14 games. Highlights include the season opening triple-header where all six A.L.L. teams will see action in what is being billed as the Showcase Event. The schedule

will see each team play three games against four opponents and two against the remaining fifth team. Please note Showcase will be at the home of the Oshawa Outlaws at the newly named Tribute Communities Centre. The venue was formally known as the GM Centre.

Jan 7th, inaugural games include the Paris River Wolves versus the Toronto Monarchs at 1 p.m.; the St. Catharines Shock Wave against the Peterborough Timbermen at 4 p.m.; and the Six Na-

tions Snipers take on the Oshawa Outlaws.

The following Saturday, Jan. 14th, the showcase continues as the Shock Wave face the Monarchs at 4 p.m., followed by the TimberWolves closing the Showcase against the Outlaws.

Six Nations fans will get to see the new league and the new team at the ILA, also on Saturday, Jan 12th, at 7 p.m. when the Snipers host the Paris River Wolves.

Training camp and tryout dates have not been set at this time.

Lacrosse Hall of Fame Blast stoking up the fire inducts Cam Bomberry

DUNDAS – After Friday night’s 3-0 shutout win over the Dundas Real McCoys, in Dundas, the Brantford Blast have moved to within one game of the second place Stoney Creek Generals in the Allan Cup Hockey standings, and three points out of first place currently held by the Whitby Dunlops.

Cameron Sault of New Credit led the way with a goal and an assist brings

Cam Bomberry was inducted into the 2016 Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame this past weekend in St. Catharines. He is pictured here with one of last year's inductees, Duane Jacobs. SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Jim Windle Cameron Bomberry joined his famous father Cap Bomberry in the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame in an induction ceremony this past weekend in St. Catharines.

He was named as a 2016 Inductee in the Player category; Mena Briscoe – Builder (Brampton/Orangeville); Lawrie Hallman – Builder (Kitchener- Waterloo); Ken Richardson – Veteran (Brampton); Troyhann Santos – Player (Whitby) were also inducted.

Cam grew up playing lacrosse in the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Association where he travelled across Ontario and British Columbia to compete for Six Nations and compete in Provincial Minor Championships. In 1987 Cam began his Junior A career with the St. Catharines

Athletics for three years before returning home to his hometown of Six Nations Arrows, leading them to an Ontario Championship in 1991, and subsequently the Eastern Canadian Championship and the National Championship in 1992. Cam was the Captain of the first native based franchise, which won a Minto cup. Cam won the Jim McConaghy Memorial Trophy as the MVP, and to this day he considers it a great honour to have been part of this special team.

In 1988 Cam was one of Team Canada`s most important players when he competed in the first U19 World Field Lacrosse Championships in Adelaide, Australia when they won a Silver Medal.

Cam played field lacrosse for Nazareth College from 1992 to 1994 and was a member of the NCAA National Championship

team in Division 3. He was a three time All American midfielder, earning two third-team awards and one second-team award.

In 1990 the Iroquois Nationals were accepted into the Federation of International Lacrosse, and Cam was a four-time member of the Iroquois National team.

Cam was a member of the Six Nations Chiefs Major Series Lacrosse team starting in 1993. He was member of the Mann Cup Championship Chiefs team in 1994 and 1996. He ended his OLA summer league playing career with the Mohawk Stars in 2008 of the Senior B Series. He also played in the National Lacrosse League for eight seasons with the Rochester Knighthawks, the Buffalo Bandits, and the New Jersey Storm. Cam was an integral piece of the 1997 World Champions Roches-

ter Knighthawks.

He is known as a player of tremendous talent, skill and work ethic and a natural leader both on and off the floor. His lacrosse IQ is second to none on teams full of incredible players. He always led by example with grit and determination. While Cam was very soft spoken in the locker-room, when he did speak everyone listened. Cam always had the respect of his peers, his teammates and his opposition.

What is most impressive about Cam, is that while he played and won at the highest levels of the game, he always found the time to give back to teach and guide the next generation of lacrosse players in the true spirit of the game.

Cam continues to grow the game by providing clinics, lectures and opportunities across North America.

Cam was also a key component of the Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse program, which won Bronze at the FIL World Championships in 2014.

his early season stats to a pair of goals and five assists for a five game total of seven points. He is on track to improve on his 34 point season in last year’s campaign with nine goals and 25 assists. Six Nations’ Mitch Green did not dress.

This week’s game should be a barn-burner as the Blast host the Dunlops at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, next Friday, Nov. 18th, at 7:30 p.m. A win will put them one point out of first.

Canada hosts the 13th world karate championship

By Tim Reynolds

HAMILTON – The World Karate Organization (WKO) hosted the world karate championship at the Hamilton Convention Centre this past weekend. A fraction of a point separated gold, silver and bronze winners in the Katas in most cases.

Don Warrener’s Martial Arts Academy of Brantford hosted the event as dogo and welcomed many countries — having their flags adorning the walls. In between the host nation flag of Canada and the guest nation of China hung the Hiawatha flag. The hanging of the Hiawatha flag is a formal acknowledgement of the Haudenosaunee as an independent united nation and treaty territory.

The opening procession lead by the RCMP was followed by two Haudenosaunee representatives, Gutch Salinas and the Two Row Times’ own Chezney Martin, who were then followed in by the partic-

After the anthems were played Salinas and Martin performed traditional smoke dances to the audience.

Team Canada comprised of dojos from British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. Other countries included Sweden, St. Kitts/ Neves, Pakistan, Ukraine, U.S., Georgia, New Zealand

and more. There were various styles of martial arts including Okinawan Goju Ryu and Shotokan karatedo; and Korean Taekwondo.

The various weapons used in the tournament were traditional Okinawan. The origins of all these weapons is that they were farmer’s tools.

When the Satsuma samurai clan from Japan took over Okinawa in 1609 they

oppressed the Okinawans.

They took all their weapons away only leaving one knife tied to a chain in the centre of villages to cut meat.

The samurai were also extremely cruel. They tested their swords to see if it was a three man sword or a five man sword. What they would do is force the Okinawans to lie down on each other and cut them in half. This brought about

the advent of hidden Okinawan weapons to defend against the cruelty.

The nunchaku was used for thrashing wheat; The Kama to cut rice; The Tonfa, or today known as a night stick, was a handle from a rice grinder.

The same hidden principles were in Karate katas. The Okinawans would practice the choreographed fighting techniques hidden in ceremonial or social dances.

Kara-te-do means empty hand way.

Saturdays part of the competition was for the youth or kyu belts. The competitions included boys and girls divisions in different age groups competing in weapons, kata/ choreographed movement and kumite/sparring. The host Brantford dojo did quite well on this day winning many medals amidst strong international competition.

Sunday was for the adults and 91 black belts competed. The opening

of the days events started with the male youth of Team New Zealand conducting a highly spirited Haka dance. The ancestral war cry, dance or challenge of the Maori people of New Zealand was well received by those spectating. It was followed by New Zealand team katas performed by the women and men.
