Six Nation’s oldest man soon turning 104 By Jayson Koblun

SIX NATIONS – Six Nations’ own centenarian Wilfred Jamieson was born less than two months after the Titanic sunk in 1912. A centenarian is someone who lives to, or beyond the age of 100. At 103 years old, Wilfred, Turtle clan of the Konadaha Seneca nation has seen and done a lot in his life and as the oldest living registered male of Six Nations, he is going to celebrate his 104th birthday on June 21 with his family at the Iroquois Lodge in Ohsweken. “It’s his birthday in a few weeks and chances are we will just all get together in the common room here at the lodge to celebrate,” said Sara Jamieson, one of Wilfred’s many grandchildren. Wilfred married his wife Thelma back in the ‘50s. She passed on in the

‘70s, but the time they spent together and life they lived helped create his now large and still growing family tree. In an interview with two of his grandchildren and eldest son, they figured out that in total Wilfred has six immediate children, four step-children, 18 grandchildren, too many great grandchildren to count and one great great grandchild with another great great grandchild on the way. “My grandpa has a huge immediate family, but it didn’t stop there,” said Sara. “So many people know my grandpa and he treats everybody like family to him. Even people that aren’t actually related to him he would call family.” Wilfred only took schooling up to Grade 8 before leaving to help his adopted parents on their farm. He lived in a house

on 5th line for the rest of his career growing corn, soybean, white corn and several other kinds of crops. Sometime in his life he also worked a short stint at Styres’ Saw Mill. “These days he doesn’t do too much in the lodge, a lot of sleeping and taking it easy inside, drinking anything he can find with green tea in it,” said Wilfred “Will” Jamieson III, Wilfred’s grandson. “When he was younger though he was always out and about being active.” When Wilfred was a child on the territory, he played a lot of baseball with his friends and other neighbourhood kids. There were no nice grassy, neatly kept baseball diamonds to play on at the the time, just some fields and dirt roads that they would find space to play on. “Baseball was definitely his thing. So was old

country music, animals and his water drum,” said Will. “He was pretty good with a water drum. He wasn’t much of a drinker, he said he tried drinking once, hated the taste of alcohol and never picked it up again.” Will said that his grandpa has taught him how to be resilient and respectful of the earth. In 2009, tragedy struck and his grandpa’s home on 5th Line burned down. Will said that he and other members of the family offered him places to stay, but his grandpa wouldn’t leave his land. “He wanted to stay where his home was and didn’t want to leave his animals,” said Will. “He set up a small camper nearby and lived there for as long as he could — until it got so cold out that he had to move here to the lodge.” Wilfred is a lover of animals, the land, his family

and of his culture. He has seen many things change during his time here on Six Nations territory and he is known by many as a man who always put family first. “Even when he was already technically ‘old’ he made sure to spend time with his family,” said Sara. “I remember one time I was really young and he was babysitting me with some other kids. We were running around like crazy being nuts and he was right there alongside us keeping up. My grandpa was strong — farmer strong — so even when he was 80 years old he was still keeping up with us.” Sara said that her grandpa loves going to powwows and would travel pretty far to go to as many as he could. Being a farmer, he also loved checking out different “ploughing matches” in the surrounding areas.

“He and I would travel to ploughing matches all over,” she said. “That’s something he’s always been interested in — John Deere tractors. Travelling with him to the shows is one of the best memories I have to share with him. “My grandpa taught me a lot, but he especially taught me how to share and how to treat people with kindness.” Sara and Will both said that their grandpa was a funny guy — always telling jokes and making people laugh. The two grandchild, adults now, said that their grandpa also taught them the important of forgiveness and that families, friends and communities should be able to put matters aside and love each other simply for being family — as they’ve already said above, everybody was family to Wilfred.

Six Nations talent comes to Brantford Collegiate Institute By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – Dancers and models of all ages came together to display their year round hard work at the 41st Annual Stars of Tomorrow Show at the Brantford Collegiate Institute on Friday evening lastPMS week.Black C From Tiny Tot Tap to PMS 186 Senior Competitive Hip Hop, the stage was filled with grace and bright smiles that earned the applause of family and friends alike as a year of hard work at Michelle Farmers Studio of Dance and Modelling was proudly displayed. The award winning studio is headed by Director and Choreographer Michelle Farmer, who holds a Masters in Dance and more than 40 years of experience. “I love it, and I love putting them to work as well as seeing them progress,” said Farmer, in regards to being able to offer her guidance to young dancers, models and actors of Six Nations, New Credit and else where. “Every year I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to better the next show, like make each one better and more special,” said Farmer. “Our class

platform to make friends, a chance to step outside of a comfort zone and maintain an active lifestyle, it also offers opportunity in other areas. “I try to use as many dancers, models and actors as I can with every opportunity,” said Farmer, as she explained that her daughter Taysha Fuller started her career within the studio as well. “We did a TV commercial, so the TV commercial will be coming out. We also have some actors and I use my dancers

as well; so we also had about 30 people in a film this year and it's coming out in the fall,” she said. “And a lot of the dance students were in a video as well nearing the end of last year, it was a music video for A Tribe Called DESIGN FILE 1A Red and it was filmed at our studio.” It is safe to say that the studio itself has opened many doors for young girls and boys, and next year will definitely bring about another show case of talent.

Of the arts taught within the studio located on Six Nations, is also modelling, from which many Six Nations models have gone on to build careers. “A lot of [the models] do go on to professional careers, some of them are doing print work and a lot

of runway,” she said. “So, I teach them the basics; in modelling we go over the runway, we go over photography posing so they can be in ads, as well as voice communication and public speaking,” she said. However, starting out in dance offers not only a

Condolence Culture Editorial by Jonathan Garlow It is a customary tradition on Six Nations to send condolences to one another after the passing of a family member and these days condolences are being sent through Facebook. We have what could be called “Condolence Culture” in our society and it was given to us by the Peacemaker. Some versions of the story say that long, long before Europeans came, a man named Ayenwatha (Hiawatha) was consumed by grief because the nations had descended into murder, revenge and bloodshed. The story says The Peacemaker found Hiawatha in a state of depression. Hiawatha had lost his rationality and reason because he was mourning the murder of his daughters. Every account also says that The Peacemaker was an outsider from the Huron nation so perhaps he was unaffected by grief in the same way. Regardless, he restored peace (skennen) in the heart and mind of Hiawatha by performing what is now known as the Fifteen Matters, The Big Condolence Ceremony or as Huron Miller called it ‘The Requickening.’ The first three strings are as follows: Onenh kady yakwenronh, wakwennyonkoghde okaghsery, akwah kady ok skennen thadenseghsatkaghthonnyonhheke. (“Now, then, we say, we wipe away the tears, so that in peace you may look about you.”) Nok ony kanekhere deyughsihharaonh ne sahondakon. Onenh kady watyakwaghsiharako waahkwadeweyendonh tsisaronkatah, kady nayawenh ne skennen thensathondeke enhtyewenninekenneh (“And, further, we suppose there is an obstruction in your ears. Now, then, we remove the obstruction carefully from your hearing, so that we trust you will easily hear the words spoken.”) Nok ony kanekhere deyughsihharaonh desanyatokenh. Onenh kady hone yakwenronh watyakwaghsihharanko, akwah kady ok skennen deghsewenninekenne dendewadatenonghweradon. (“And also we imagine there is an obstruction in your throat. Now, therefore, we say, we remove the obstruction, so that you may speak freely in our mutual greetings.”) We are not experts in the traditions, and there is more to it than that but one thing that is obvious is that they cared about each other and they trusted each other. Empathy means the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. The Peacemaker understood Hiawatha’s anger and his grief and through the Peacemaker’s actions we were shown how to have empathy for one another. So then, the Six Nations was formed upon empathy, sympathy and understanding. Our problem today is that colonialism has reshaped our entire society and residential school taught us fear, anger and cruelty all over again. For the tragic losses of our family structure and our identity we need a collective condolence — our entire society needs to be comforted and reaffirmed to find healing. Who among us will choose peace instead of revenge?

The Law of Mother Earth

Special for TRT By Gary Farmer Bolivia passes "Law of Mother Earth" which gives rights to our planet as a living system. The Law of Mother Earth ("Ley de Derechos de La Madre Tierra") holds the land as sacred and holds it as a living system with rights to be protected from exploitation. This action in Bolivia started back in 2010. It startles the mind why this is not a popular stance among nations around the world. You’d think people would start to realize you can’t eat your money. Personally, I feel strongly about our own Grand River from its mouth to its source. The majestic waterway runs through our community and represents our original agreement; the Haldimand Deed. Six miles either side of the Grand River was our original offer for siding with the Canadians, a.k.a the British in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 in the formulation of this country. When you think of our Grand River, I think how polluted it’s

become. I used to swim and fish in that river. My great grandfather, James Green lived on the Grand River and have wonderful memories of there small farm as a child. The orchard, the three sisters garden, the tomatoes, watermelon, rhubarb and berries of all kinds were plentiful. I can still smell my grandmother’s hot apple pie cooked in a wood stove wafting on their hillside home overlooking our Grand River valley. It was paradise in the late ‘50s. Checking on the internet I found our Grand River has recent infractions of industrial pollution. Here's the scenario at the heart of Enbridge Pipeline Ltd.'s spill. A contractor working on a section of an Enbridge pipeline in North Dumfries, within 100 metres of the Grand River, accidentally damages it without knowing and leaves; during the night the damage turns into a leak. By early morning 4,400 barrels of foreign sour crude oil have spilled into our Grand River; At 6 a.m., someone calls to report an oil odour coming from the Grand. The pipeline is shut off and the incident is reported immediately to the Ministry of the Environment's Spills Action Centre. And does anybody trust the Ministry of Enviroment? My experience with the Ministry of Environment is that it’s fine to drop chlorine gas and sulfuric acid into Lake Superior no questions asked. So how can we trust this government or any other government to protect us from pollution? In another bit of research, scientists from the Faculty of Science and Environment Canada found the equivalent of 81,850 to 188,650 cans of diet soda pass through the Grand River to Lake Erie every day. Surprisingly, maximum concentrations of sucralose, cyclamate and saccharin in the Grand River were found to be the highest reported world-

wide to date. It’s dumbfounding when you think the Grand River is 300 kilometres long, how much land the original Haldimand Deed encompassed and to think we only have approximately 22,000 square acres remaining that we live on. That’s less than 10 per cent of the original tract. For a few years I’ve been thinking, some of my fondest memories at home on the rez in recent times where when the community was meeting on a regular basis during the Caledonia debacle. We really felt more like a community than I ever remember. I had this wonderful thought that maybe we should protect the rights of our river. Like the Bolivians. Make it law in our own legislative and/ or confederacy processes. Maybe we should create a force of unarmed people to protect our river and defend it’s right to live for our future generations of children yet to be born. We may have lost our control over most of the 300 kilometres of the Grand River, but that does not mean we should not be actively trying to heal our entire 300 kilometres river; by being active both politically and environmentally. Active in measuring and documenting by observation all along that original Haldimand Deed tract. It was ours to begin with and we shared our wealth but now we have to take matters into our own hands peacefully and begin the work necessary to bring attention to our primary water source. We may have come up with a quick solution to cleaning our water with our new filtration plant and the laying of fresh pipe all this month long but our long term health must be approached with the due diligence of a crafty lawyer.

When Ali saved Chief Looking Horse from Saddam Hussein By David Bearshield for Native News Online Published June 4, 2016 So much has and will be said about the “Greatest of All Time” upon his transition to the Spirit World, and so much more should be said and learned from his courage and dedication to peace. This may be an episode that will get little attention, but speaks to the power of prayer and peace embodied by both men in this account. It was during the countdown to the Gulf War, and Chief Arvol Looking Horse, six elders, a reporter, and a negotiator traveled to Baghdad, Iraq on a peace mission. Chief Looking Horse is the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations, and is an inspirational leader and advisor for GOAL Tribal Coalition. The intention of Chief Looking Horse and the delegation was to hold ceremony and pray with the sacred canupa (pipe) in Iraq, knowing that war was on the horizon and that Americans were being held hostage under the threat of being used by Saddam’s regime

as “human shields.” “When we arrived, Iraqi soldiers took us to what they called a ‘Peace Camp.’ It was not a place of peace. They put us in a flimsy trailer infested with mice as big as rats, and we were fed only wilted lettuce and an orange looking soup that we had to eat, since there was nothing else. When our return tickets were torn to pieces in front of us and they took our passports, I suddenly realized that our lives were on the line,” recounts Chief Looking Horse. The situation deteriorated when the reporter was seized and violently interrogated. Upon being delivered back to the ‘Peace Camp’ he informed the group that they would probably not make it out alive. “After four days I felt helpless,” recalls Chief Looking Horse. “Looking for guidance, I turned off the lights in my room to distance myself from everything. Every other time I’d turned the lights off, the mice would run all over me but this time they didn’t. My heart felt like it was scratching inside with pain. I cried in-

Muhammad Ali also became politically involved in the Black Hill's Land Claim a dispute between the Sioux Nation and the USA. side, praying for deliverance. And then, suddenly, a Grandfather’s presence came into the room. I heard a ceremonial rattle pound all over the walls and I felt a sense of being home once again inside myself. I immediately jumped to my feet and told everyone that we had to pray. We felt the presence of the Grandfathers and knew immediately that we would be okay. A sense of peace came into the room,” he remembers. Shortly after completing the prayer with the

sacred canupa, the delegation was hustled into limousines and delivered to a government building. “Amazingly, we were greeted by two lines of saluting Iraqi soldiers,” says Chief Looking Horse. The group was again asked why they had traveled to Iraq, and they explained once more that they had been instructed through ceremony to travel there, to pray for peace. “We fulfilled our commitment by then sitting in a sacred circle with one of their religious leaders,” Chief

Looking Horse explains, after they were finally permitted to pray with the sacred pipe. “They invited us to stay one more day to meet with Saddam Hussein, but I replied, ‘Our work here is fulfilled and we’re ready to go home.’ I knew that our purpose was done and that, if we stayed more than the four days, we would be in great danger since our ceremony of protection was over.” Unbeknownst to Chief Looking Horse, Muhammad Ali had traveled to Baghdad in an attempt to secure the release of the Americans being held. During the mission, for a period Ali suffered significantly from not having access to Parkinson’s medication. The administration of President George H. W. Bush criticized Ali for engaging in “loose-cannon diplomacy” and feared that he was being manipulated for propaganda purposes. “WE WERE THEN TAKEN TO A FINE HOTEL IN BAGHDAD,” CONTINUES CHIEF LOOKING HORSE. “AS WE WALKED IN, MUHAMMAD ALI CAME OFF THE ELEVATOR GREETING US WITH A HUGE SMILE, BOXING

THE AIR IN A PLAYFUL WAY AS HE APPROACHED US. WE HUGGED HIM AND LEARNED HE HAD HELPED TO SET US FREE. OUR PEACE MISSION WAS NOW COMPLETE AND WE WOULD RETURN TO OUR HOMELAND,” CONCLUDES CHIEF LOOKING HORSE. Muhammad Ali had met with Saddam on November 29, 1990, and the hostages all returned home on December 2. On January 16, 1991 the United States began Desert Storm. “They don’t owe me nothin’,” Ali responded, when asked by reporters if he expected anything from those he’d liberated. “They don’t owe me nothin’.” Ali not only saved Chief Arvol Looking Horse’s life, those of his delegation, and the hostages, but the lives of those Chief Looking Horse has helped to save since that time through the power of prayer. Wopila!

No Chiefs Council Dear Editor, The Longhouse was called and some people drove many miles to attend only to find Allan McNaughton never bothered to show up, much as he has disrupted Longhouse on more than one occasion previously. The Mohawk bench was empty as was the Seneca. WARNING! This is a "Cry Wolf" tactic. This is meant to discourage Onkwehon'we from coming to Longhouse so that

corrupt chiefs can continue to hold on to the reins of their self-appointed power. If no one shows up for Longhouse then, they can have business as usual and not be answerable to the people for the very serious issues that we have been made aware of. I implore my traditional brothers and sisters to continue to show up for Longhouse until such a time as these chiefs will have NO choice BUT to deal with these issues and explain their actions to us.

I would think the Indian Act council to be laughing at our confusion and disunity. Put an end to it now and DEMAND HCCC call Longhouse and this time, BE THERE! If they refuse, assemble the Clan Mothers and start dehorning protocols immediately!

Maybe the absences were related to the tragedies in the community. We are waiting to hear an official explanation.

BY TRT Staff OHSWEKEN — Representatives from the Six Nations Fire & Emergency Services attended the Ontario Native Firefighter Society Annual General Meeting & Firefighter Competition. This year’s provincial gathering was hosted June 3rd & 4th by the Garden River First Nation located near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. First Nation Fire Chiefs, Firefighters & Fire Protection representatives from across Ontario attended the event to discuss the many Fire Protection Issues that first nations currently face and begin discussion on possible solutions through the initiation of a strategic plan. Also in attendance were representatives from Indigenous & Northern Affairs Canada and Ross Nichols Fire Marshal of Ontario/Chief of Emergency Management for

the province of Ontario. The meetings were followed by the 2016 Ontario Native Firefighter Competition. After a full day of competition it was announced at the awards banquet that the Six Nations Fire & Emergency Services Team were selected by their peers to receive the Steve Nolan Memorial Award which represents the team exemplifying Most Sportsmanlike conduct. It was also announced that the Six Nations Fire Team received a perfect score, taking first place in all events and as a result were the 2016 Ontario Native Firefighter Competition Champions. The team is now preparing to represent Ontario at the Nationals but will not have to travel very far as Six Nations was selected last fall to host the 2016 National Aboriginal Firefighter Competition & Conference which will be taking

place this August 10 – 14, 2016. This honour and privilege comes at a very perfect time as 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Six Nations Fire & Emergency Services. The week of meetings, training & competition will be capped off by the Annual Six Nations Fire Grand Gala black tie fundraiser, which will be held at the Hamilton Convention Centre by Carmen’s on Saturday, August 13, 2016. All funds raised by the grand gala go towards the purchase of additional equipment, and training opportunities needed to continue to keep our families and the community of Six Nations safe. Last year’s grand gala sold out and the full house in attendance enjoyed an elegant evening of delicious food & entertainment which helped to successfully raise $56,000.

Retired archaeologist Ilse Kraemer talks with TRT about a hand crafted flint tool she and her late husband found in 1981 near Hagersville that predates the Bering Strait land bridge. If so, that means there were people here long before previously believed. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Old habits and entrenched dogmas die hard. That is especially true when it comes to defending the status quo Bering Strait land bridge hypothesis to explain the arrival and migration of early man in what is called, the “new world.” Most people would think the scientific community would welcome new evidence and differing learned opinions, but as retired archaeologist, Ilse Kraemer has found out through her own personal experience, this is too often not the case — at least not in Canada and the U.S. A young Ilse and her new husband, archaeologist John Kraemer, now deceased, came to Can-

ada from their native Germany after the devastation of the war. Fascinated, as most German people are, by the culture and history of the North American Indian, they began working for archaeological firms in the Mississauga Ontario region, eventually moving to Brantford. In around 1981, the topic of what is called “Desert Varnish” or “Rock Varnish” was the conversation within scientific circles about the phenomenon by which layers upon layers of a very thin compound that in certain conditions of extreme arid temperatures, as found in the world’s deserts, and tens-of-thousands of years will produce a shiny, red, brown or black skin over rocks. Many desert tribes would

cut hieroglyphs on “varnished” stone by scraping off the varnish to expose the lighter coloured original stone. It just so happened that at the same time, the Kraemers, had stumbled upon an archaeological find that had potential to turn the scientific would upside down. One day on a walkabout, they found, laying on the ground and close to the surface, flint tools, undoubtedly worked by human hands. But they were shiny and reddish-brown in colour and obviously very old. “It really was a fluke how I found the site,” laughs Ilse Kraemer, now into her ‘80s. “One day my husband and I saw this barren area, covered with brush CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Hundreds join in support of Grassy Narrows River Run 2016 By Jayson Koblun

and it hasn’t gotten any better despite constant reaching out to the government for action — as recently as 2014 a 17-year-old boy from the territory died from what is believed to be causes related to the 9,000 kilograms of mercury that has been disposed of into the Wabigoon river. The government has responded in the past by saying that the environment will clean itself up and that the best solution is to let the pollution in the river run its course — clearly that is not the answer for those living in the community or those that just simply don’t approve of the governments decision. “The water needs to be cleaned and people are growing tired of the excuses and inaction,” said Sigrid Kneve, from Six Nations territory. “Especially considering that a recent study has come out saying that it is indeed possible to clean the river — why are the people of Grassy [Narrows] still waiting?” The new report claimed that the Wabigoon river can indeed be cleaned up, and the fish can become safe to eat again. Chief of Grassy Narrows Simon Fobister said in a statement, “More

TORONTO – The people of Grassy Narrows have been waiting 40 years for Ontario to address and remedy the health crisis in their First Nations community’s water supply, the Wabigoon river; a peaceful protest last Thursday showed the communities determination and hope that one day the government will decide to clean up this mess. Community members from Grassy Narrows and other surrounding First Nation territories joined hundreds of protestors, concerned settlers and political activists June 2 at the steps of Premier Kathleen Wynne's office building in Queen's Park Toronto demanding that action be taken. After several speeches from chiefs and other prominent figures, the crowd took to a march throughout the streets of downtown Toronto waving banners, flags and signs representing the Wabigoon river and the fish that live in it. In 1962, mercury pollution from a pulp and paper plant in Dryden Ont. started to make the animals and community members in Grassy Narrows visibly sick,

than 50 years after the dumping began it grieves me deeply to see absolutely nothing has been done to clean up our river and that our people continue to suffer.” At the rally, a group of youth from Grassy Narrows called N'we Jinan Artists sang an emotional song they wrote and produced on their territory called "Home to Me". A song about hope and change for their current situation. The crowd quickly picked up the song’s catchy tune and chorus and sang together and of the same mind, with the same goal of convincing Premier Kathleen Wynne that cleaning up the Wabigoon river is worth the effort. One of the performers at the rally said that those that don’t support the clean up or want to see change in this situation are inadvertently supporting colonialism and genocide.

Helping teens cope with death: struggling with grief By TRT Staff This material was adapted from Helping Teens Cope with Death by The Dougy Center, The National Centre for Grieving Children & Families. It is republished here with permission. For more on coping with grief you can check out www.dougy. org online.

What is it like for teenagers when someone close to them dies? How do they respond to the death of a parent, a sibling, a relative, a friend? In our work with teenagers, we’ve learned that teens respond better to adults who choose to be companions on the grief journey rather than direct it. We have also discovered that adult companions need to be aware of their own grief issues and journeys because their experiences and beliefs impact the way they relate to teens. Six basic principles of teen grief 1. Grieving is the teen’s natural reaction to a death. Grief is a natural reaction to death and other losses. However, grieving does not feel natural because it may be difficult to control the emotions, thoughts, or physical feelings associated with a death. The sense of being out of control that is often a part of grief may overwhelm or frighten some teens. Grieving is normal and healthy, yet may be an experience teens resist and reject. Helping teens accept the reality that they are grievers allows them to do their grief work and to progress in their grief journey. 2. Each teen’s grieving experience is unique. Grieving is a different experience for each person.

Teens grieve for different lengths of time and express a wide spectrum of emotions. Grief is best understood as a process in which bodily sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviours surface in response to the death, its circumstances, the past relationship with the deceased and the realization of the future without the person. For example, sadness and crying may be an expression of grief for one teen, while another may respond with humour and laughter. “I hate it when people think I should be grieving according to the ‘stages’ described in some highschool health book. Since my sister’s death I’ve learned that grief isn’t five simple stages.” Kimberly, 17. While many theories and models of the grieving process provide a helpful framework, the path itself is an individual one, and often lonely. No book or grief therapist can predict or prescribe exactly what a teen will or should go through on the grief journey. Adults can best assist grieving teenagers by accompanying them on their journey in the role of listener and learner, and by allowing the teen to function as a teacher. 3. There are no “right” and “wrong” ways to grieve. Sometimes adults express strong opinions about “right” or “wrong” ways to grieve. But there is no correct way to grieve. Coping with a death does not follow a simple pattern or set of rules nor is it a course to be evaluated or graded. There are, however, “helpful” and “unhelpful” choices and behaviours associated with the grieving process. Some behaviours are construc-

tive and encourage facing grief, such as talking with trusted friends, journaling, creating art, and expressing emotion rather than holding it inside. Other grief responses are destructive and may cause long-term complications and consequences. For example, some teens attempt to escape their pain through many of the same escape routes adults choose: alcohol and substance abuse, reckless sexual activity, antisocial behaviours, withdrawal from social activities, excessive sleeping, high risk-taking behaviours, and other methods that temporarily numb the pain of their loss. “My friend went crazy into drugs, sex, and skipping school after her boyfriend got killed in a skiing accident. She stopped talking about him. Now she’s kicked out of school and is pregnant by a guy she hates. Since my boyfriend’s car accident, I know what can happen if I make wrong choices like her.” Sara, 18 4. Every death is unique and is experienced differently. The way teens grieve differs according to personality and the particular relationship they had with the deceased. They typically react in different ways to the death of a parent, sibling, grandparent, child, or friend. For many teens, peer relationships are primary. The death or loss of a boyfriend or girlfriend may seem to affect them more than the death of a sibling or grandparent. “Expect the unexpected. Emily actually danced and sang after I told her that her mother died. I was shocked. Later I realized the relief we both felt. The relationship had been filled with her alco-

holism, lies and illness.” Father of Emily, 17 Within a family each person may mourn differently at different times. One may be talkative, another may tend to cry often, and a third might withdraw. This can generate a great deal of tension and misunderstanding within the already stressed family. Each person’s responses to death should be honoured as his or her way of coping in that moment. Keep in mind that responses may change from day to day or even from hour to hour. 5. The grieving process is influenced by many issues. The impact of a death on a teen relates to a combination of factors including: * Social support systems available for the teen (family, friends and/ or community) * Circumstances of the death - how, where and when the person died * Whether or not the young person unexpectedly found the body * The nature of the relationship with the person who died - harmonious, abusive, conflictual, unfinished, communicative * The teen’s level of involvement in the dying process * The emotional and developmental age of the teen * The teen’s previous experiences with death 6. Grief is ongoing. Grief never ends, but it does change in character and intensity. Many grievers have compared their grieving to the constantly shifting tides of the ocean; ranging from calm, low tides to raging high tides that change with the seasons and the years. “I’ve had people say that you’ve got to go on,

you’ve got to get over this. I just want to shout, ‘You’re wrong! Grief never ends.’ I don’t care what they say.” Philip, 13

Archaeology & Politics from page 9 that we thought might have some significance,” Kraemer recalls like it was yesterday. “He walked around looking for archaeology and I did my thing. That’s when I found these reddish flint tools. We brought some home and looked a little closer. It was intriguing.” But the intrigue was not so much that they had found some samples of a kind of desert var-

nish, but that these were tools that had been lying there long enough to develop their signature red patina. Since the patina takes at least 10,000 years and as much as 100,000 years or more to develop when conditions are exactly right. That would mean these tools were crafted and used by someone and left there before the last ice age. That is when they say the

land bridge developed and early Asians came across to spread throughout this half of the world 12,000 – 14,000 years ago. This find put all of that under considerable question. “We went back next day and found the area covered in similar flakes and flint tools. Prehistoric man did not have arrows and there were no arrow heads to be found nearby. That technology had not been developed yet. They would hunt big animals like Wooly Mammoths or Mastodons with spears or by

clubbing them or stoning them from a high perch. Then cut off the flesh and skins with tools like these.” Kraemer says she also found the tooth of a saber-toothed tiger in the same general area. Although she will not reveal the exact location, she did give the general vicinity, and it wasn’t somewhere in northern B.C., or Inuvik. “I never disclosed the exact location, but it was close to Lake Erie, near Hagersville,” she says. “This is an area that

was pre-glaciation. The glaciers pushed up from the south and were very weak when they came into this area. Another push came from the north and they met here.” She believes that it why the tools are virtually undamaged, because they were not being dragged for miles one way or the other under hundreds of tons of ice and rock. Good news for science? No. Rather than be excited, their findings seemed to anger those keepers of the Bering Strait belief. But not everyone dismissed the find. One archaeologist in particular, Thomas E. Lee, agreed with their conclusion that early man was here in southwest Ontario before the Bering Strait land bridge was formed. But the Kraemers could get no official recognition for their find in North America. “I had a problem with our Canadian archaeologists. They were of no help in even recognizing these as tools,” she says. “I knew of another archaeologist that was also having trouble with finds he was making on Manitoulin Island. He was finding the same things as me but on quartzite tools. This site is known as Shegiandah. “Officially, Canadian and American scientists did not want to recognize it because they would have to change everything,” says Kraemer. “They would have to rewrite all the text books and a lot of people would lose their royalties and reputations if that happened.” But as word got out, they began getting calls from Berkley and other American Universities. One call in particular gave the Kraemers hope that their discovery would be recognized. It came from Dr. George Carter who had worked heavily on early man in the western world and he had some authority on the subject. He suggested that they should send some samples to universities and labs all over the world for tests and evaluation including to Vienna University. “The problem with archaeologists here is that they want to just look at arrow heads and scrapers, and scrapers and arrowheads and that’s all. But German archaeologists and in Europe, especially in France, Spain and Portugal are in the caves of early man and discovering many new things about early man every day.” “The Indians have always said there were people here,” says Kraemer who is well known for her work with Six Nations over the years, “And they were right.”

AFN calls on parliament to implement UNDRIP through legislation BY TRT Staff OTTAWA – AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde participated in a seminar for MPs, Senators, and their staff on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, urging all parties to work co-operatively with indigenous peoples on measures to adopt and implement the Declaration in Canada. "You have an historic opportunity to work with us to ensure the

human rights of First Nations are finally respected through concrete action all across this country," National Chief Bellegarde told the MPs and Senators. "We must turn Canada's unqualified support for the Declaration into action. We need to craft legislation that supports the Declaration and ensures all levels of Government in Canada respect and honour its principles. The UN Declaration provides a framework for reconcili-

ation and the implementation of inherent Treaty rights, title and jurisdiction. The Declaration is a clear path forward." Bellegarde called on Parliamentarians to commit to working together to implement the UN Declaration, stating that Canadian law must be reformed to ensure it reflects and supports the UN Declaration and to create legislation supporting the Declaration.

FOUR REASONS TO EAT LOCALLY-GROWN PRODUCE HEALTHY ROOTS — (NC) Canadians are wisely increasingly on the lookout for food that is grown or produced close to home — or at the very least, in the same country. And as soon as the warm weather hits, anticipation grows for the first freshpicked berries, asparagus and corn. But while fruit stands and farmers markets often come to mind this time of year, did you know the widest variety of local produce can be found at the grocery store? “At Loblaw, we have a Canadian-first buying policy, which means that during our peak growing season, close to half

the produce you find in our stores is grown right here at home,” says Frank Pagliaro, vice president, produce at Loblaw Companies Limited. “When you think about it and take out the exotic fruit or citrus — things we can't grow here — we buy pretty much everything we can locally during this time.” In case you needed yet another reason to become a local-food shopper, check out top benefits of eating produce that is grown near you. 1. It reduces the carbon footprint. Greenhouse gas emissions are cut down significantly since food does not have to be

flown in. Also, transport trucks travel a shorter distance and spend less time on the road when delivering products to producers and grocery retailers. 2. You support local farmers. Buying local produce helps ensure the livelihood of local farmers who rely on their business to support their families. This also helps keep viable farmland and green land from being used for less environmentally-friendly purposes. 3. You get off-the-farm fresh quality. You might be getting produce that was only picked a day before it landed in your shopping cart, versus

having been picked a week or two earlier. This allows for produce to be ripened for a longer period of time. Visit your local grocery store and look out for products that were grown near you to get that fresh and juicy flavour. 4. You enjoy great nutrients. Fresh produce is full of essential nutrients that provide your body with the vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy diet. Including more produce in your meal routine will provide you with the energy you need to make the most of the long summer days ahead.

ASK KITTY

Hello to all the gardeners, would be gardeners, soon to be gardeners and everyone that enjoys the garden's bounty. What a fast and wild ride spring has been this year! Spring did it all, we had cold, we had hot, we had dry, we had wet. Whew! Now we are planting with joy in our hearts. A few answers to many of you asking about planting seeds in June. It's still the perfect time to plant! Many of the seeds are for succession planting (lettuce, radish, beans) so plant to your hearts content. To have pumpkins for October, plant them towards the end of June or the beginning of July. It's still a great time to put in your leafy greens, kale, spinach, swiss chard. These can be harvested right into he snow fall. Kale is actually sweeter after a frost! Tomatoes will be a bit behind but not by much so plant, plant, plant! Cucumbers love the hot delicious soil so pop some seeds in the ground. We have had a bit of rainfall luckily but don't forget to water. Sadly if you haven't planted your herb seeds they may struggle to grow fast enough but don't despair, put them in pots and bring them in the house in the autumn. I suppose my answer is really this — go ahead and PLANT those seeds. We never really put seedlings in years ago. If you want to see results immediately after planting your seeds, leave the stakes and strings in place until your seeds germinate. It gives our heart and soul the sense of hope for the garden to come. I am delighted to say everyday I talk to more and more new or returning gardeners and I couldn't be happier. Three cheers to us all for increasing our self sustainability around our food. Not to mention the happy tastebuds and bodies when we harvest and eat the food we have grown ourselves. Well done everyone! Keep on planting and growing.Happy gardening everyone, drop me a line and let me know how your garden grows. Kitty

SUMMER FITNESS FEATURE

UNDERSTANDING METABOLISM AND YOUR BODY TYPE By Jason Hill Pro-Fit Health Club HEALTHY ROOTS – You may have wondered how some people just seem to be able to eat whatever they want. How come Bernadette in accounting can snack all day long and not gain a single pound? Meanwhile it feels like you’re waiting an eternity for your next meal. As it turns out, science has been able to provide some amazing answers to this quandary. Answer to why some people tolerate and use carbs very effectively. Answers to why some of us tolerate fats the same way. And of course, answers to why we all hate Bernadette. Hand Scale The following portion suggestions follow the "hand scale". The size of your hand, unique to you, will be an easy and simplified way to asses how large meals should be to help any fitness goals you'd like to achieve. I am an ectomorph. The

beginning of most peoples physical structure; the Ectomorph can indeed tolerate carbohydrates very well as their primary source of energy. With low body fat percentages, they have no problem metabolizing the typically large amounts of carbs in their diet and not so readily storing it as potential body fat. However, the Ectomorph has notorious trouble making use of the surplus of energy gained from fats in their diet. This method reflects their macro-nutrient composition of choice. I am a mesomorph. This body type is usually the goal of most fitness enthusiasts. Equally making use of both carbohydrates and fats for fuel, they have a much easier time performing feats of athleticism and endurance due to this. They tend to have a fair balance between carbs and fats in their diet to make sure their caloric needs are met. I am an endomorph. This final body type is where most people looking to

improve their health and fitness start out. Former patrons of the other two types, due to a larger body fat percentage, the endomorph usually doesn't tolerate the quick and easy energy carbohydrates can provide and often will cause them to gain weight as a result. The introduction of large amounts of healthy Fats into their diet in conjunction with limiting carb intake can produce very positive responses, such as increasing fat mobility and balancing energy availability during the day. Both very positive ways to increase weight loss. Jason Hill has a Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS)NSCA.

Niagara Falls ComiCon ‘like a geek culture pow wow’ By Nahnda Garlow Anyone familiar with comics, games or anime or cult fiction is likely still getting over their “ComiCon hang over” from last weekend’s exhibition show. Over 25,000 guests came through the three day event — making it the biggest draw to the event since it began five years ago. This year’s event hosted an incredible line-up of celebrity guests, special vendors and even a real cosplay wedding presided over by none other than Lord of the Dark Side, Darth Vader. This was my very first ComiCon and being a huge sci-fi fan and television junkie found it hard to contain myself. As we walked closer to the Scotiabank Centre I saw a dude dressed

as a Jawa and I thought, “These are my people.” That right there, that feeling of togetherness and sameness, that is why ComiCon is such a huge draw. For decades the social narrative has been that anyone interested in sci-fi, fantasy, RPGs or fan fiction is an outcast. Someone who doesn’t belong in the normal crowd of humans. And although line of thinking is quickly passing away with the birth of new generations of geeks — I couldn’t help but feel a little more at ease with my own identity surrounded by so much that I personally could relate to. It was like a pow wow for geeks…and I loved every single second of it. At first I thought the huge draw for me to go was to check out the Doctor Who Society of Canada. They had some real actual Daleks on display. But when I entered the building I was shocked. It was like an identity frenzy lit up inside of me. Everywhere I turned there were things I liked! Part of me wanted to run on the spot and clap my hands like an eight year old and giggle but I held it together — barely. Confession: I spent about fifty bucks on exclusive

and strange candy from around the world. It was worth every penny. Aficionado picked up some great t-shirts with an 8-bit Black Wizard from Final Fantasy I. I also bought a curiosity box for $40 from a guy and scored a Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver. Celebrity guests included Tia Carriere (Wayne’s World), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Verne Troyer (Austin Powers), and WWE Wrestling Legends Jake the Snake Roberts, Ricky Steamboat and Lex Luger. The Fonz was there! The mom from E.T. was there! Pinhead was there! The Cryptkeeper was there! Skeletor, unfortunately, had a scheduling conflict and had to decline. Bummer. Anyone looking for hard to find or one of a kind artwork, jewellery and clothing…this was the place to go. An entire section of the vendors was dedicated to the horror film genre. Though I am not really a fan of this there was some epic artwork. Luci Kaye of Dark Dolls deserves a mention here. She takes those creepy Victorian-style porcelain dolls and paints them to another dimension, giving them

new life as dolls of the undead. “When I was very young my mom brought home Micheal Jackson’s ‘The Making of Thriller’. And I remember watching it and thinking it was pure magic how they could make this handsome young pop star and just with makeup and aesthetics make him into something that was horrifying,” said Kaye. “I was hooked on Halloween ever since.” Kaye said she's been painting for over 20 years and that her dolls can take anywhere from 2 days to a few weeks to complete. Kaye said, “There’s two types of people; people that love them and people that love to stay away from them. There’s no in-between and I love that. I love the reaction of people when they see it.” If you or your kids are into all things geek culture ComiCon is a must! The next one local is in Hamilton at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Mount Hope in October. Corey Feldman has already been announced as a celebrity guest. You can keep tabs on info for that at www.hamiltoncomicon.com for tickets and updates.

Arrests made in triple shoot- HCC Council rescheduled ing, one victim has died By TRT Staff

By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS – A shooting on the territory last week on June 1 has killed a young man and left two people injured. One of the shooting victims, 16-year-old Ashton VanEvery was airlifted to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Another victim was also airlifted to hospital and is listed in serious but stable condition. A third victim of the shooting was treated at the scene for his injuries. Police said he refused transport to hospital. Police blocked traffic on Chiefswood Road from Second Line to Townline Road as they searched for the shooters. Police said investigators had identified three suspects involved in the shootings. At approximately 8:00 p.m., after discussions with family, the three suspects surrendered to police. Arrested and facing charges of first degree

BCI students held their own memorial for shooting victim Ashton VanEvery. PHOTO BY KRISTA REYNOLDS murder are: Dwight Ronald Walton (19 years), Kenneth Paul Appleton (24 years) and Irvin Allan Maracle (56 years). All three are in custody pending a formal Bail Hearing. Six Nations Police said the shooting was retaliation for an assault that took place earlier in the week at the same residence. VanEvery was a student at Brantford Collegiate Institute in Brantford where was hung at half mast. Students at the school decorated his

locker in memory of the young man. A memorial with his picture has been set up in the front hall of the school. BCI Principal Ann Myhal spoke to TRT in a telephone interview and said “Our thoughts and prayers are with family and students at this time.” Myhal said the Grand Erie District School Board has brought in the tragic events response team to help students deal with their grief. “Our priority is to have supports for the staff and students,” said Myhal.

SIX NATIONS – Many came to listen and participate in the monthly HCCC meeting held on Saturday, June 4, but the meeting had to be closed due to the absence of the Older Brother Chiefs. After waiting more than an hour for the Chiefs’ seats to be filled, Leroy Hill stood to excuse those within the longhouse, as following protocol would not allow the meeting to proceed without the Seneca and Mohawk Chiefs. Shortly thereafter, a man sitting with the Seneca's stood to speak, explaining that “decisions need to be made.” “The only ones that were helping us out in recent years was the HDI (Haudenosaunee Development Institute), and they got kicked out. So, I mean you can't just keep sitting back,” he implored the Chiefs in attendance. “What's gonna

happen is the people are going to sit back themselves, and they're not gonna follow.” “We've gotta do something, or at least form some plans to discuss it, even if you do it privately and do it in your own meeting. We've gotta do something,” he said. Shortly thereafter, the HDI Report was offered to several in attendance by Lawyer Aaron Detlor, who had recently been cast out from the Longhouse in a previous meeting. However, after the report was handed out and Detlor clarified some of its numbers, the Oneida Chief stood in response to the man who had earlier asked for action. “I just wanna say that from our side we've decided that we're going to have a meeting on the 25th of June,” he said, translating from Oneida. “We're concerned because our belief is that all of us that are sitting here

— pretty well — we were told that everybody has a say and everybody has a say with equal voice, but we all move forward as one mind,” he said. “And we want to try to do that. So, we want to have a meeting to talk about these things and talk about these issues, and HDI has come in here every week and told us what they're doing and we support it,” he said. “You've gotta remember that this is for our people, it's not for us, it's for our people,” he said. “Unfortunately, money is in our world and we can't get rid of it, but we're doing the best that we can to take care of our families.” The Chief continued on to explain that the protocol is in check, and that the Younger Brothers want the rescheduled meeting to go as planned for Saturday, June 25, before the meeting closed.

First indigenous MP in Canada dies By TRT Staff AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde expressed condolences yesterday to the family and friends of Len Marchand, the first status Indian in Canada to be elected as a Member of Parliament. Bellegarde said Marchand was an inspiration and a groundbreaking leader for First Nations and all In-

digenous peoples. Bellegarde called Marchand a man of many firsts and we will always remember his work, his life, his dedication and his achievements. In 1968, Marchand ran for the Liberals and became the first status Indian elected as a Member of Parliament. He passed away Friday at the age of 82.

AFN Chief calls for reform in justice system By TRT Staff AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde addressed police leaders from across Canada at a national conference Thursday, calling for a First Nations Justice System. Bellegarde said immediate efforts are needed to ensure safety and security for First Nations and urged police to use

the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guide to reconciliation. Bellegarde said police services must commit to real change and understand a flawed justice system and systemic problems can potentially hold indigenous people back from success.

COLUMN: FROM THE CHEAP SEATS By Jim Windle The honour being poured out around the world for a heavyweight boxer is on parallel with that which took place upon the death of Nelson Mandala a couple of years ago. The legacy left by great Mohammad Ali transcends the ring, where he single-handedly transformed the entire sport by setting the bar so high that only time could ever beat him. Given back those three years he spent in jail and away from the ring and having his championship belt stripped for not wanting to “kill people that have done nothing to me or my family,” it’s hard to imaging what he could have, and should have accomplished in the ring. But that was only the stage building part of his life — a platform from which he could speak against racial and social

Ali – that’s all injustice, and the much hated Vietnam War he refused to fight in. Most people today will have heard about Ali, but I am one of the lucky Baby Boomers who watched this phenomenal man break all the rules, virtually invent sports trash talk, who could string rhymes together like a rap star long before rap existed, become an icon of hope for countless black and underprivileged kids around the world, and a person people from Pope to pauper clamoured to talk with or even catch a glimpses of. What would happen in Trumps world if Ali were to come up through the ranks today, at a time when the Republican presidential candidate wants to ban all Muslims from the U.S.? How would Trump view the most famous black man of this era? Friend or foe. How would Ali, the bridge builder, feel about

building a wall at the Mexican border? The contrasts are too numerous and too obvious to even put the names Trump and Ali in the same breath, but here we are. It’s 2016 and our neighbours to the south have gone crazy. Ali was a great boxer and maybe the best that ever was, but even that was the least of his accomplishments and his influence world-wide. This is the real Mohammad Ali. I am fortunate enough to have lived at the right time.

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

“It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.”

“Cassius Clay is a name that white people gave to my slave master. Now that I am free, that I don't belong anymore to anyone, that I'm not a slave anymore, I gave back their white name, and I chose a beautiful African one.”

“A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.”

“I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.”

“To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.” “Terrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Is-

Mohammad Ali the Greatest of All Time.

lam. So people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorists.”

“Hating people because of their colour is wrong. And

it doesn't matter which colour does the hating. It's just plain wrong.”

Rebels and Thunderhawks to battle for first By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The Rebels shook off a 10-8 loss against the Guelph Regals, Friday night at the ILA to rebound with a strong 16-11 showing Sunday night in Welland. With the split this week, the Rebels record is now 11 wins, four losses and one tie for a division leading 23 points, but there is no breathing room between themselves and the Niagara Thunderhawks who sit one point behind holding one game in hand. Sunday night should have washed away the bitter taste of Friday nights home loss after a high scoring first period, which saw 11 total goals, the Rebels were ahead 6-5. The Generals scored first, but Travis Longboat put the game back on an even keel a minute later, at 1:54. When the smoke cleared, Six Nations got goals from Longboat, Sid Powless, Wes Whitlow, Danton Miller, Chayton King, and Colin Montour, who gave the Rebels the lead with one second re-

maining in the period. The Rebels opened the second period in style, using their powerful penalty killing squad as an offensive weapon, scoring the first five goals, as tallied by Danton Miller, Sherman Williams, Colin Montour, shorthanded, Danton Miller’s third of the game, shorthanded, and Wes Whitlow, also shorthanded. The Rebels were in charge 11-5 at that point in the period, but the Generals clawed back three before the end of the period for an 11-8 Rebels’ lead with 20 minutes remaining. Welland created a bit of momentum after scoring the first goal of the third period to make it 11-9, but Josh Miller stopped any thoughts of a Welland rally, scoring three back-toback shorthanded goals. Even that could not stop the Generals from fighting on. Jay Clayton netted a pair of goals down the stretch but Longboat and Sid Powless along with goalie Briley Miller put the game in the bank, 16-11, out shooting the Generals, 70-34, with six

Friday, home at the Gaylord Powless Arena, a slow start came back to haunt the Rebels. Guelph earned a 3-0 first period lead, them pit up two more to start the second before WakeRait Bowhunter got the Rebels going late in the period. Dayton Miller and Justin Martin cut further into

the Regals’ lead but two Guelph goals within the last minute of the second period left the Rebels in an unfamiliar territory, down 7-3 with one period remaining. It all started well as Ceaton Smoke, Travis Longboat and Jeremy Bomberry pulled the Rebels to within striking distance down 7-6. The

Regals and Rebels traded goals until the end of the game. Bomberry and Smoke each scored their second of the game but the Regals kept in step to retain the win despite being outshot by Six Nations 62-47 in a wide open endto-end game. Wednesday night, June 8th, will be a huge game for both the Rebels and

the Niagara Thunderhawks as they go headto-head at the Meridian Credit Union Arena. Friday night at 8 p.m., at the ILA, the Hamilton Bengals will try to improve their 6-9-0 record. Niagara has two other games this week to overtake the Rebels for first place.

The Six Nations Sr. B Rivermen are on fire By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Rivermen have assembled an impressive roster so far this Championship defence Sr. B lacrosse season, boasting a number of National Lacrosse League veterans and seem to be adding more strength every week. Saturday night at the Gaylord Powless arena, the Six Nations Sr. B Rivermen took a 14-5 decision over the Wallaceburg Thrashers, scoring the final 12 goals after Wallaceburg let go of a 3-2 first period lead. The Thrashers all but disappeared as the game went on while at the same time the Rivermen were gaining strength. The Thrashers last goal of the game was scored by Kyle Childerhose at 5:59 of the second period, which made it a 5-2 game in favour of Wallaceburg at the time, before the Rivermen found

their range and poured in the final 12 consecutive goals. Adding points to their stats were: Tommy Montour (4G,2A), Rodd Squire Jr. (2G,3A), Wayne Hill (3G,1A), Travis Bland (2G,1A), Timmy Johnson (1G,1A), Jake Bomberry (1G,2A), Stu Hill (1G,1A). Warren Hill earned the win in the Rivermen net. Friday night, in Owen Sound, the Rivermen defeated the North Stars 11-4 led by Roger Vyse with four goals and an assist. Tom Montour added two goals and three assists, and Wayne Hill with one and three. After nine games played so far, the Rivermen top the league with an 8-1-0 record with the Brooklin Merchants and North Stars six points behind and tied for second spot. Four of the first five positions in league scoring belong to Rivermen, Roger Vyse, Wayne Hill, Tom Montour and Travis

Bland. Former Riverman, Chris Attwood is third in scoring with the Brooklin Merchants this season. There is no doubt that Chris Attwood is one of the best players in the Sr. B, and as a member of the Rivermen he provided many exciting moments, but like many highly talented people, sometimes the personality that makes them great, can also make them a liability. This season, Attwood will be visiting his old haunt at the Gaylord Powless Arena but as a member of the Brooklin Merchants. But with Vyse, Montour, Hill and Bland all having good seasons, there is no need to worry about offensive power. The defending Presidents Cup Champion Rivermen will host the Owen Sound North Stars this Friday, June 10, at 8 p.m., at the Gaylord Powless Arena. The Ennismore James Gang are at home to Six Nations, Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m.

Roger Vyse's feet may have slowed down a bit from his younger days, but his deadly accurate passing and his laser shot is still intact and contributing to the early season success of the Six Nations Rivermen again this year. In five games, Vyse has scored 15 goals and assisted on 19 for a total of 34 points to lead the league. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Six Nations Jr A Arrows on a Winning Streak By Chezney Martin/Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Arrows conquered Mimico with a score of 17-6 on Thursday, June 2, and topped off the week with a follow up win over the Kitchener Braves 11-3 on Sunday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. Although both scores have the Arrows in the lead, actually watching the games would prove just how much they had to deal with on the floor. The game versus Mimico started out strong for the Arrows, as Kellan LeClaire won the draw and scored unassisted within a few seconds after the start of the first period; however, this set a bad precedent for the rest of the game as the Mimico bench staff began cursing at the referees and their own defence players. This caused the removal of Mimico's Assistant Coach, and a grand total of 39 penalty minutes for Mimico in the first period alone.

Alex Henry scored from the outside for his first goal of the game with assists by Austin Staats and Tehoka Nanticoke three minutes minutes into the first period. But, with a lot of Mimico's time spent short handed, the Arrows took advantage and scored nine goals

before the second period; Jake McNabb scored two in a row, and Austin Staats earned himself a hat trick

with three. Throughout the second period, Tehoka Nanticoke seemed to draw penal-

ties left and right for high sticking, which resulted in more aggression from Mimico players and bench staff who began yelling “he's just diving.” The referees definitely didn't agree, as by the end of the period two Mimico players had been removed from the game and the Arrows had increased their score to 13. The third period didn't show any improvement on Mimico's part, as they only scored once in the period while the Arrows added to their score to make it 17. Overall, Mimico had two players and their Assistant Coach removed from the game, and earned a staggering 140 minutes in penalties. Sunday, at the ILA, the Arrows owned the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves in the third period and that was the big difference in the game. The Arrows were ahead 3-1 after the first 20 minutes on goals by Austin Staats, Jake McNabb and Tehoka Nanticoke. KW scored their first goal with one second left on

the first period clock and then opened the second with two more to tie the game at 3-3. Austin Staats stopped the bombardment five seconds after Jordan Goddard tied it for the Braves. Alex Henry and McNabb took the lead back before the end of the period, at 6-3. That was all the opposition the Braves could offer as the Arrows comfortably left KW in the dust scoring five unanswered third period goals, scored by Staats (3G,3A), Nanticoke (2G,5A), Larson Sundown (1G,2A), and two by Alex Henry (3G,2A). Doug Jamison registered the win and is now five wins and one loss and put in a fine performance. The Arrows week started early with a rare Tuesday night game in Whitby in a game that missed our deadline. Thursday the Lakers steam in from Peterborough for an 8 p.m., appointment with the Arrows, before hosting the visiting Northmen of Orangeville at the ILA at 7 p.m.

Bandits lose heartbreaker in Saskatoon By Steve Bermel for NLL. com

SASKATOON – Despite a valiant effort on the road, the Buffalo Bandits lost 11-10 to the Saskatchewan Rush in heartbreaking fashion in Game 2 of the Champion’s Cup Finals at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon on Saturday. With the defeat, the Bandits’ incredible 2016 season came to an end as the Rush hoisted the Champion’s Cup trophy for a second consecutive season. After a back-and-forth game that featured multiple ties and lead changes, the Bandits answered a three-goal Saskatchewan run with a Kevin Brownell tally to the tie the game 1010 with 4:24 remaining in the game. However, with just 12 seconds left on the clock, Jeff Cornwall picked up a Buffalo rebound that bounced high off the boards behind the Saskatchewan net, raced the length of the floor uncontested, and converted past Buffalo goaltender Anthony Cosmo to put the Rush ahead. While Buffalo was able to generate a quality look with just seconds remaining, Ryan Benesch was unable to beat Aaron Bold, and the Rush stormed the floor to celebrate back-toback championships.

In the defeat for the Bandits, Dhane Smith finished off his record-breaking season with a fittingly strong performance. Despite consistently drawing double and triple teams from Saskatchewan, Smith still managed a six-point (2+4) night. In support of Smith, Benesch (2+1) and Chad Culp had (0+3) had three points apiece. Cosmo put forth another solid effort in net for the Bandits. Although the 16-year veteran received medical attention early in the first quarter, Cosmo shrugged off the apparent injury to make 43 saves on 54 shots. Bold deservedly took the series MVP honours after another impressive performance in net for the Rush. After limiting the Bandits’ league-best offensive attack to nine goals in Game 1, the goaltender made another 47 saves on 57 shots in Game 2. On the offensive end, Mark Matthews (2+4) and Robert Church (2+4) led the way with six points each. Curtis Knight also had five points (2+3) in the win. It was 5-5 heading into the halftime break. The Bandits opened the second half with a two-goal run. With 1:05 played, Nick Weiss received a pass in transition from Mitch Jones

and finished with a leaping effort across his body. Just under three minutes later, the Buffalo converted their first power-play opportunity of the night. With Jeremy Thompson in the box for a holding-the-stick penalty, Benesch faked a shot to Smith and then beat Bold high on the short side. Saskatchewan answered back with a pair of long-distance goals that caught Cosmo off guard. First, with 6:49 played, McIntosh scored his second goal of the night. Following

a quick restart, the 2015 NLL Rookie of the Year beat Cosmo from just inside the Buffalo end. A little less than two minutes after McIntosh pulled the Rush back within one, a shorthanded goal from Greer tied the game at 7-7. With Cosmo screened by his own defenseman, Greer’s second of the goal of the night beat the Buffalo goaltender just a few steps inside the halfway line. Saskatchewan nearly reclaimed the lead a little over a minute later. After a

slash from Smith on Ryan Dilks resulted in a penalty shot, Greer was unable to convert past Cosmo as he fired high and wide of the net. The Bandits closed out the third quarter with a pair of goals. With 2:22 remaining, David Brock fed Mark Steenhuis and cleared a path for his fellow veteran, and Steenhuis fired a long-range shot that beat Bold to his right. Smith scored his second of the night coming with 43 seconds remaining. With

a hard-charging run to the front of the net, Smith paid the price and finished past Bold to make it 9-7 in favor of the Bandits heading into the final quarter. Saskatchewan opened the final 15 on a three-goal run to take back the lead. With 4:11 played, a holdingthe-stick penalty to Culp provided the Rush with a power play opportunity, and Matthews capitalized with his second of the night on a shot from straightaway through traffic. Over five minutes later, Saskatchewan pulled even with a pretty offensive sequence. Greer found a cutting Church, and the thirdyear forward beat Cosmo 1-on-1. Just under a minute later, Church scored again with a shot from straightaway that beat Cosmo to his right. Church’s second of the night made it 10-9 in favor of the Rush with 4:35 remaining. Buffalo answered back almost immediately. Just 11 seconds after Church gave Saskatchewan the lead, Kevin Brownell finished off a 3-on-1 rush to tie the game up at 10-10. However, Cornwall’s goal with 12 seconds remaining gave Saskatchewan the lead and the Champion’s Cup

Six Nations Chiefs up and down week in lacrosse By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Major Series Six Nations Chiefs felt pretty good about themselves after demolishing the Brampton Excelsiors 15-5, Thursday night, but were brought back down to earth, 15-8, by the Oakville Rock, Monday night at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre. Things remained virtually even throughout the first and second periods, which ended 3-3, and 5-4 for Oakville. With 20 minutes remaining and the game far from over, the Chiefs’ entire back end fell out and the Rock hammered in seven more goals while the Chiefs managed only one.

Special teams also failed them as the Chiefs allowed three Oakville powerplay goals and missed on three of their own. "Things just didn't go our way, that's how things go I've played in a lot of games when things didn't go right. We'll bounce back," said coach Rich Kilgour. Scoring for the Chiefs were Cody Jamieson (3G,4A), Ryan Benesch (2G,2A), Dhane Smith (1G,3A), Jordan Durston, Stephen Keogh, and Leo Storous with his first as a Chief. But the Chiefs were too much for the Excelsiors in Brampton Thursday night, as the visitors crushed the home team, 15-5, fuelled

by a star-studded cast led by Johnny Powless and Cody Jamieson, who each earned seven points. They were backed up by Randy Staats’ four goals and two assists and Craig Point’s three goals and an assist. The teams were even at 4-4 at the end of the first period before the Chiefs lowered the boom on the Excelsiors, outscoring them 8-1 in the second period and 3-0 in the third. Once again, the Chiefs’ Tuesday night home game schedule, results between the Chiefs and Oakville will miss our deadline. They will not see action again until next Tuesday night when the Peterborough Lakers visit the ILA for an 8 p.m. start.

SN Warriors miss opportunity to take first By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN - The Jr. C Six Nations Warriors miss a golden opportunity to overtake the first place Wilmot Wild Saturday afternoon at the GPA, losing 15-8.

The teams were even at 3-3 after the first period with Spencer Martin, Sid Powless and Mitch Henhawk finding room in the Wilmot net while the Wild kept pace. Henhawk is a big presence at both ends of the f loor, but he is like a bulldozer in front of

his own net and towers over some of his teammates. But he’s not just big, he’s good.

The game suddenly went sideways for the Warriors in the second period when Wilmot accounted for six goals while holding the Warriors to one, that scored by Daniel Henhawk. The Wild added six more third period goals, with Steve Harris scoring three third period goals for the Rebels. Lyle Jonathan also scored in a losing cause. The Warriors took a

7-0 first period score against Oakville, Sunday afternoon at the GPA, and rode it to a 15-9 final over the Buzz.

Heading into this week’s games, the Warriors are in third place in the Western Division, one point behind second place Fergus and one point ahead of Oakville. Wilmot still leads the league with a 9-1-0 record. Saturday, June 11th, the Warriors and the Thistles go at it again, this time at the Gaylord Powless Arena, at 7 pm.

Newcomers take in the races at Bradshaw Brothers media night

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – First timers Jeremy Bochenek (left) and Chris Breimer (right) say they definitely got some excitement out of the Ohsweken Speed-

way’s races last weekend. “It was awesome!” said 24-year-old Bochenek, who has lived in Hamilton his whole life. “I’ve been meaning to make it out to the speedway for the longest time, but I just never

got around to it.” Sponsors Bradshaw Brothers presented the speedway’s media night and spectators enjoyed watching 360 Sprint car races, 602 Crate Sprints, Thunder Stock races, Mini

Stock races and Bombers. “So intense,” said Bochenek. “When the driver’s take the corners at those speeds it just shows their skill. I definitely couldn’t do it, but it’d be so sweet to be inside one

of those sprints sometime.” The two friends stayed for the entire event and were super impressed with the entertainment. “Tickets are a good price, food is good and

the races were awesome,” said Breimer, 25. “The engines were louder than I thought and I should have brought ear plugs with me, but at least now I know for next time.” Photo by Jayson Koblun

Controversy in Kanesatake over possible mine re-opening Nio-can is a mining company that has tried to re-open the dormant niobium mine in Kanesatake territory continuously for the last 10 years. They’ve been mining niobium, which is a chemical element used to strengthen steel used in gas pipelines, welding, nuclear industries and electronics. Last week, Kanesatake Band Council hosted an information session by a new company mining the same product. Eco-Niobium says that their technology has made it safe to mine niobium again. Eco-Niobium uses geothermal water filtration in their operations and claims that there will be no impact on the land or the water. But many community members disagree. “I don’t know if I’m for it or against it because this project is so fundamentally different than the one Niocan presented. You need to have new studies and you gotta look at it from a different angle,” Chief Serge Simon said. But some community members vehemently disagree. “For money? When the money’s gone, what’s left? All we have left is the land,” said community member Weniente. Simon said that for those living in poverty in the community, the mine could be a financial windfall and he went further to explain how these information sessions are a smart, legal play. “If you refuse, the proponent could go ahead with his project without consulting you any further or offering a dime,” he said. Protesters say that this information session can be understood as Prior and Informed Consent criteria. “I’m concerned that it might be viewed as a consultation because people are asked to reg-

ister their names, which is usually what happens in consultation processes to say, to check off that box that says so many people were consulted or informed,” said Ellen Gabriel, community member. Protesters are also upset with Council for signing a letter of intent with the company. “It does not force the community into anything. In fact, on the bottom of every page, it says that they project will be subject to the community’s approval,” said Simon. After a history of community unrest and internal conflict, Simon says that he wants a peaceful resolution. If anything, he would like to see the matter go to referendum. Grassy Narrows youth ejected from legislature for wearing t-shirts saying “Water is Sacred”

A delegation of more than 40 community members from Grassy Narrows First Nation traveled more than 1,700 kilometres for the annual River Run held in Toronto, Ontario. The annual event is a chance to apply pressure to provincial governments to act upon the mercury poisoning that contaminates the water systems in Grassy Narrows territory. According to a report released earlier this week, it’s said that it is possible for mercury to be safely cleaned up but the government lacks the political will to clean the industrial mess. “Premier [Kathleen Wynne], will you look at these youth from Grassy Narrows — who are sitting behind you — and tell them that the rivers that make them sick today won’t be cleaned up tomorrow, and will never be cleaned up in their lifetime,” asked Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell. Despite promises made by Kathleen Wyn-

ne to engage as a provincial leader in the active regeneration of a new relationship with indigenous peoples, she refused to commit to cleaning the Wabigoon river systems. Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Glen Murray responded saying, “We are going to work closely, through the working group that has been established, to ensure that we have proper solutions. The current situation is unacceptable, but we have to make sure — as the premier said — that we’re undertaking efficient, near term action consistent with the leadership and desires of the community and on good science that will actually solve the problem, and not make it worse. I find it unacceptable and I will not let this continue on my watch.”

Following the Minister’s response, the delegation of youth that attended legislature were removed for wearing matching t-shirts that read “Water is Sacred”.

have nothing further to say on the matter.” The nature of Tootoo’s addiction issues remain unclear. Dominic LeBlanc will assume Tootoo’s former role, in addition to being government House leader. Hunter Tootoo now sits as an independent Member of Parliament. In November 2015, Tootoo was selected in an effort to “present a cabinet that looks more like Canada.” Jordan Tootoo, NHL’er and Hunter’s cousin tweeted about the difficult situation. “It takes blood sweat and tears to stand up and ask for help from a real man @HunterTootoo admitting is the 1st step. You got this cuz”. Former Nunavut Premier, Paul Okalik, who also resigned his position this year voiced his support as well. He used the opportunity to remind people that, in Nunavut, there exists

a liquor store but there are not any alcohol treatment centres. In March of 2016, Okalik resigned his position in protest of the liquor store being opened in a province wherein alcohol is illegal in 17 of 25 communities. National Chief garde warns to act before Inquiry yields mendations

Bellepolice MMIW recom-

During a “reconciliation inspired gathering” in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde told the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police that they should brace themselves for some blame in the upcoming Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women inquiry. He said that many will question how police handled the cases and whether they do enough

when an indigenous woman is reported missing. Bellegarde said that it is important for police to tackle the socio-economic divide between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. Canada ranks sixth in highest living standards internationally, however the ranking is dramatically lowered to the 63rd ranking when including the living conditions of indigenous peoples. He also urged the police to implement 22 justice-related recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Report urging police to “create space” for indigenous Canadians by “opening up their hearts, their minds and their spirits.” Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill, head of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police said that some of the criticisms are justified.

Hunter Tootoo resigns Liberal Cabinet position to seek treatment for addiction issues

In a surprise announcement last week, Hunter Tootoo, resigned his position as the appointed Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard. According to a statement released by Tootoo, “As of today, I have resigned as Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and will be stepping down as a member of the Liberal caucus in order not to distract from the important work of my colleagues.” Tootoo will be seeking treatment for addiction issues. In Ottawa, on Wednesday, Justin Trudeau told the media that, “This was his own choice after a very difficult situation and we will

“The Good Mind” explores the culture and governance of Haudenosaunee By TRT Staff SYRACUSE, NY – A new documentary film featuring the Onondaga Nation will be shown twice during the Lake Placid Film Forum. “The Good Mind,” by New York filmmaker Gwendolen Cates, follows Onondaga Nation leaders as they continue the efforts of their ancestors to protect their sovereignty, their culture, and the environment while seeking justice over ancestral lands that were stolen in defiance of a treaty with George Washington. The Onondaga Nation, one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee, is one of the few Native nations in North America that has retained its traditional government and language, and a portion of its ancestral lands. “This film tells our story,” states Sid Hill, the Tadodaho of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy). “It shares how as a nation we still raise up our leaders in our traditional way while maintaining our responsibilities to Mother Earth and our communities, as we have done for over a thousand years, and how we have remained relevant in a modern world.” The movie explores the Onondaga Nation’s role in many of the environmental issues of our day, from Onondaga Lake to frack-

ing to climate change, as well as the importance of lacrosse and the importance of traveling on their own passports. The movie also provides deep insights into the Onondaga Nation’s Land Rights Action, which was filed as a petition with the Organization of American States’ Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in April 2014 after legal remedies were exhausted within the United States’ court system. “Learning about the Treaty of Canandaigua was my moment of realizing the Onondaga Nation’s story needed to be told,” said filmmaker Gwendolen Cates. “George Washington promised recognition and protection of Haudenosaunee lands, and the cloth payments for that treaty still arrive at Onondaga every year. But New York State in defiance of the Canandaigua Treaty stole most of the Onondaga Nation’s lands. Onondaga Lake, where the Peacemaker brought together the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca Nations to form the Haudenosaunee confederacy over 1000 years ago, was so badly polluted that it became a Superfund site. And yet the Onondaga Nation continues to work with their neighbours to protect the lands from further degradation.”

Cates first met Onondaga Nation leaders in 2000 while working on her book, Indian Country. Numerous short film projects ultimately led to the creation of The Good Mind, including the award-winning film Guswenta about the 400th anniversary of the first treaty between the Haudenosaunee and the Dutch in 2013. “The Good Mind” will be shown on Friday June 10th at 9:15 PM and Sunday June 12 at 4 pm at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA) at 17 Algonquin Drive. A Q&A session with filmmaker Gwendolen Cates and Jake Edwards of the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs will follow each screening. Additionally, there will be a panel discussion Saturday morning at 11 AM at the High Peaks Resort titled, "Inside the Making of a Contemporary Documentary: THE LAST GOLD and THE GOOD MIND," featuring Cates, along with Brian Brown, director of THE LAST GOLD. Tickets to each screening are $10 per person, available at the door, or online at www.lakeplacidarts.org. The Lake Placid Film Forum is marking its 15th anniversary and takes place from June 8-12.
