Questions and answers about the alcohol referendum

By Paula Hill OHSWEKEN – After last week’s article regarding Six Nations Elected Council’s announcement that a January 2015 alcohol referendum will take place at Six Nations, the Two Row Times was approached by several people that had questions for the Economic Development staff, but who had their own reasons for not wanting to pose their questions in a public forum organized by the Elected Council.

In the spirit of contributing to the dialogue and discussion around this issue, the Two Row Times raised these questions with the Six Nations Elected Council. We would like to thank Council’s Community Planner, Amy Lickers for taking the time to offer the following answers.

TRT: It was stated that Kahnawake’s regulations are being used as a reference tool. It was also stated that our police chief has asked Council to pose a question to the Crown Attorney regarding prosecuting charges coming from our community law. Has Economic Development or Council

Six Nations Community Planner Amy Lickers. posed this question regarding prosecution to the Crown? Were any is ϐ tially litigious areas if we assume jurisdiction over regulating alcohol, from the Crown’s perspective?

Amy Lickers: The Kahnawake Alcohol Law has not been sent to the ǯ ϐ Ǥ TRT: Under provincial laws pertaining to alcohol regulation, there are very serious rules that must be adhered to, and when they are not, very stiff ϐ censes can be revoked. To a great degree, enforcement of the mainstream system relies on people “snitching” on business-

es that are not complying with the law (say, for example, serving minors, cutting off customers that are impaired, or having “last call” at the time decided by law).

In our community, our people are averse to participating in the (Canadian) legal system, especially if it requires testifying against a person (or possibly a business establishment in this case).

What measures have been taken into consideration to encourage strong adherence to our law, if we choose to regulate alcohol sales? And, if there ϐ ǡ payments be returned to the community?

AL: One of the things that is being examined is to have some of the community revenues from the brewery be dedicated to enforcement of the regulation. This would ϐ ȋ one seconded from Six Nations Police, or an ofϐ Commission) would be responsible to doing site visits and check-ins with establishments holding permits.

We haven’t discussed ϐ at this time, but since all

revenues generated from the brewery will be going back to the community, it would be safe to say ϐ ǡ Ǥ Perhaps there is an opportunity for community feedback as to where they would go.

TRT: The Six Nations Police Service often has ϐ on duty most evenings. If establishments that draw large crowds, such as the Speedway, were granted a license to sell alcohol, has consideration been given to the impact it would potentially have on the safety of the community and patrons? What measures are being considered to ensure community safety (and preferably adequate policing) as it pertains to alcohol sales in establishments that tend to draw larger crowds?

AL: I would like to point out that the brewery isn’t the only option that we’ve taken out to the community. Actually over the past four years, we’ve brought agreements that add up to almost $100 million dollars over the next 20 years.

We are in the process of forming an Economic Development Trust fund where all money generated on community initiatives will be adminis Ǥ ʹͲͳͳǡ undertook a community engagement process to ask community members about business opportunities and where funds could be spent.

AL: This would probably be a better question for the Chief. I do know that they are looking into the liability and the legality of it because there is a court case going on now regarding the Provincial alcohol laws within the community and whether they do or don’t apply. I’m just not sure what can be printed because the case is currently going on.

GREAT celebrates success of Six Nations Women

By Paula Hill OHSWEKEN – In a supreme showing of sis–‡”Š‘‘† ƒÂ?† ÂŽÂ‘Â˜Â‡ÇĄ ƒ”„ Miller and Iris Wright of Grand River Employment and Training celebrated the conclusion of their two and a half year long “Six Nations Women of the Grand River Projectâ€? by presenting an overview of their research and handing out certificates to participants at the GREAT Theatre on November 26, 2014. As Wright stated, “although this is the end, really, it is only the beginning.â€?

The project brought together organizations and groups of people that did not ordinarily communicate, with the intent of reviewing the employment barriers to our women, to create strategies to assist in overcoming those barriers.

The initial phases of gender-based analyses resulted in several conclusions that led to the development of a leadership training program and Haudenosaunee cultural teachings workshops. Miller stated that many women indicated not only that they had faced discrimination in the workplace, but that they actually feared discrimination.

Findings such as this served as a guide in the development of the workshops.

Miller gave an emotional presentation as she talked about the strength of the women. The participants GREAT sought after for their project were ™‘Â?‡Â? ™Š‘ ‹†‡Â?–‹Ď?‹‡† ĥ under-employed or unemployed. Miller joked that her tears were from her cold medication, but the participants knew the truth.

The women were not unemployed merely from a lack of trying. Through their participation in the project, the women learned that each was working hard to overcome tremendous hurtles in life, common to and understood only by another Onkwehonwe woman.

These common struggles allowed them to develop very strong bonds in the group. Š‡ ™‘Â?‡Â? ‹†‡Â?–‹Ď?‹‡† grief from a loss of cultur-

al connection, a history of being victims of violence, the challenges of being new moms and having to make career changes/ choices. A couple of women struggled with anger that developed from trying to protect/advocate for their children that had been victims of sexual violence.

Through their participation in the project, the ™‘Â?‡Â? ‰ƒ‹Â?‡† –Š‡ …‘Â?Ď?‹dence and skills to start working towards their ‰‘ƒŽ•Ǥ Ǥ ”‘‘Â?‡ ‘ŠÂ?•‘Â? was one such success story. She wrote: “I just wanted to say ƒ „‹‰ Â›ÂƒÇŁÂ™Â¸ÂŠ ˆ‘” –Š‡ ƒcilitators of this program and to the awesome women who supported each other throughout it!! I just wanted to let everyone know that you ladies ‰ƒ˜‡ Â?‡ –Š‡ …‘Â?Ď?‹†‡Â?…‡ to confront my fears and follow my dreams...and I believe you share in my rewards as well as myÂ•Â‡ÂŽÂˆÇĄ •‘ Š‹‰Š Ď?‹˜‡ Žƒ†‹‡•ǨǨ Just got word, I received a writing grant for my children’s books, without the constant encouragement I never would have applied again!!â€?

Joanne General stood before the large crowd and presented her artwork she had crafted during her participation in the Haudenosaunee culture workshops. General bravely spoke of the art’s meaning and why Š‡” …‡”–‹Ď?‹…ƒ–‡ ‘ˆ …‘Â?’Ž‡tion was so important to her. She had suffered sigÂ?‹Ď?‹…ƒÂ?– ƒ„—•‡ ĥ ƒ …Š‹Ž†ǥ causing CAS to intervene and apprehend her and her siblings. After going through foster care in non-native homes and being separated from all but one sister, she lost a sense of her cultural roots.

Through her participation in GREAT’s cultural workshops, General was able to commence on her journey to heal that loss. She joked of having never completed anything before, but she left the program with a …‡”–‹Ď?‹…ƒ–‡ ƒÂ?† ƒ „‡ƒ—–‹ful painting showing that •Š‡ …‘—Ž† Ď?‹Â?‹•Š ™Šƒ– •Š‡ started.

Another participant, Nancee Henry was awarded a $10,000 grant for her proposal to coordinate community volunteers.

Your Voice Is Important Our Community, Our Future, Let’s Talk About It

Six Nations Alcohol Community Engagement - Week 3 Six Nations Elected Council has launched community engagement to determine community support for the creation of an Alcohol Regulation and a Brewery at Six Nations.

Six Nations Economic Development was approached by IPA Enterprises Inc. of Waterloo,On with an economic opportunity to be a 90% partner in a Brewery to be located at the Oneida Business Park. It is anticipated that this business will generate approximately $2.2 to $4 million in annual revenues for Six Nations within 4 years of operation. The !QDVDQX DWODBSR SN BQD@SD @OOQNWHL@SDKX INAR VHSGHM SGD ƥ QRS XD@QR 3GD BQD@SHNM NE this project would also require a waterline expansion on Fourth Line from Stoneridge to Oneida Business Park, in which IPA Enterprises has dedicated $2 million dollars towards this initiative.

Why are we bringing this to the community?

It’s infuriating to think that, not that long ago, it was illegal for a person to be in possession of something because of the colour of their skin. Prior to 1959, it was illegal for “Indians” to purchase or be in possession of alcohol merely because of who they are. For so long our communities have been run by paternalistic laws that have been created based on the values and priorities of another government.

The point of the community engagement is to encourage community discussion on the future of our community, to decide for ourselves what the future of Six Nations should look like. Information on the business aspects as well as community aspects will be presented for community members to make an informed decision. There will never be pressure to choose one way or the other, but to just get informed and choose for yourself.

Your Voice Is Important!

The community engagement process will run from November 17th, 2014 to January 17th, 2015 and will conclude with a community Referendum to be held at the Six Nations community hall. Attend a community meeting or information session to become aware of the whole picture and to make an informed decision on the future of Six Nations.

What about 1922 raid?

On-reserve or off-reserve Alcohol will always bring about great debate. It is usually the act of weighing against each other the fervent testimony of an ant and an eagle each describing the same elephant.

Same subject, two differing vantage points.

To one, is the valid argument that death, pain and a life of suffering are all too often the best friends of ǫ say, “What gives the settler government the right to tell us what is good for us and what isn’t. We are not children and we can make Ǥ brewery will bring local jobs and money into the community.” And that is an equally valid point.

We have all heard about the illegal take over of the Six Nations government by armed Royal Canadian Mounted Police in ͳͻʹͶǤ about an earlier abridgement of Six Nations’ right to self-governance.

For those who do, it might seem ironic that in 1922 and 2014 the controversy is over the same issue.

Alcohol on the reserve.

In 1922 Chief Deskaheh was humiliating Canada in Europe by bringing a well researched and powerful truth to world, that Canada is guilty of breaking ǡ ϐ and outright theft of Six Nations Trust Funds for Canada’s gain and Six Nations loss.

While he was out of the community, someone ordered the North West Mounted Police to storm the community, break into homes and arrest anyone found with alcohol or alcohol making equipment. See

TWO ROW TIMES

ǦͳͲǫ Deskaheh wrote a ϐ someone in high authority.

It says: “Sir: It is true that recently a number of persons (mostly by those who have ϐ ǦͳͶȌ into the illicit manufacture and sale of liquor and as soon as this matter was brought to the attention of the Chiefs in Council (they) decided on the 25th of July, last, and appointed a committee to negotiate with the provincial Attorney

The net result of the ϐ small and very crude still and a bottle of moonshine in the house yard of another

Ǥ ϐ ǡ no arrest was made. In the second an Indian was captured without the slightest resistance, at his home. A ǡ ǡ he was convicted and sent to prison for 10 days. On Thursday as he pleaded ignorance of any knowledge of how the same came into his home yard.

Request that a deputation should await upon you in Ottawa at your earliest convenience. With the utmost hope of clearing up the misunderstanding that still surrounds the conditions of the arbitrations.

I would therefore sir beg to ask that you would inform me as soon as convenient of the proposed conference with you….

Chief Deskaheh Speaker Six Nations Council” The more things change, the more they stay the same.

OP-ED Our beating hearts

By Carla Robinson The following is the convocation speech presented by Carla Robinson to the University of Toronto graduates on November 18, 2014.

Thank you, Professor Angela Hildyard, for the kind introductions, Chancellor Michael Wilson and Dean Julia O’Sullivan for inviting me tonight, this is a great honour.

Graduates, as someone who missed both of her convocation ceremonies, I say with all honesty, it is important you are here tonight. I’ve learned the hard way it’s celebrating our successes that make our accomplishments feel real. And that is what grounds and gives us energy for life’s journey. I’m so happy to be part of your convocation ceremony – I hope you don’t mind if I consider it mine, too.

of New Credit for sharing their territory all these years, Miigwetch.

The vision I want to share with you tonight is a humble one. Simply, let’s create a new world together.

As you graduate from this incredible university, I would like you, your parents and loved ones, to imagine for a moment a world where the air and water are clean. Where we are living healthy and sustainable lives, and know we are leaving the world a better place for future generations.

A world where a woman can go anywhere, any time, and feel safe from harm. And a world where we all have full bellies and a roof over our heads.

I ask you to imagine these possibilities because I believe we can create them. The gift of being human is that we only need to imagine an idea, commit to it and make it happen. And if history serves as a model,

if we commit to act on it together, it happens much faster.

I believe we can create this new world for several reasons. One, it has already existed here on Turtle Island, or North America before. My Mama oo, Laura Robinson, who was the Mulx mujeex or Matriarch of the Haisla Nation, used to tell me stories of what it was like pre-contact. She said the elders told her there was basically no such thing as theft in the community, because no one felt the need to take something without permission.

Our system of redistribution not only made sure everyone in the community worked together and got what they needed, but our potlatch system also allowed us to help our neighbours through lean years with dignity, just as they would do for us.

As an example of how our systems have been a model for this so-

ciety, leading feminist Sally Roesch Wagner explored in her book Sisters in Spirit, how the three founders of the women’s rights movement based ϐ and freedom on the lives of Haudenosaunee and other indigenous women.

As newcomers, she explains, they were keenly aware of how their corseted and controlled lives paled in comparison to the lives of respect and autonomy being enjoyed by their neighbouring indigenous sisters.

Roesch Wagner admits in her book it took until late in her career for her to see the real inspiration of the women’s movement because she was blinded by the Eurocentric lens she was taught to use.

Early Canadian governments also had a close friendship with their indigenous neighbours, and found inspiration as CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

As beautiful as these relationships were, the initial surge of interest in our philosophies, social structures and governing laws was not to last.

The Victorian age ushered in an attitude of pride and paternalism and instead of learning from our people, the new colonial governments began enacting laws that guided authorities to forcefully take away our children and send them to residential schools. There, for generations these institutions worked tirelessly to “take the Indian out of the child.�

Instead of liberty, our women’s identity and property were stripped away. Along with the men, they were made wards of the state.

I share with you tonight this brief history to give you context, and to show you the roads our societies have been down.

I believe as indigenous people we are starting to come out of this dark period. I’m sure you’ve seen the social fallout of these devastating policies on my people in news stories in the media. —– ‘—” •’‹”‹–• ƒ�† cultures are still intact, and the hearts of our women are still beating and growing stronger. We are reclaiming our rights and our voices. Through these trying times, our eyes have remained open to truth and possibility. Through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, our people are

It is important to realize we like only necessary development, as to save as much land as possible for our animal brothers, whom we sac”‹Ď?‹…‡ –‘ •—•–ƒ‹Â? ‘—”•‡Ž˜‡• and our families. As well, these activities are part of our heritage.

Each side must learn to understand each other better or even just listen, while the other makes their point. I think if we did, each user would respect the rights and privileges of the other.

Commercial and/ or other licensed users ‘ˆ Ď?‹•Š ƒÂ?† ™‹Ž†Ž‹ˆ‡ Â?—•– learn to respect constitutionally-protected Aboriginal Rights. It is

equally important to me as an Aboriginal to respect the rights of commercial users to feed our great country, Canada.

Each party is to respect each other if we are to prosper.

First, we must bring peace between us through mutual understanding, and love each other, as we are brothers and the Creator gave us to each other to learn from.

Then we receive the gift ‘ˆ —Â?‹Ď?‹‡† ’”‘•’‡”‹–›Ǥ ˆ the Creator wants us to learn anything while we live life on mother earth, it would be to co-exist peacefully.

starting to call for a much needed conversation.

So where can we go from here? I hope we can come together with open minds, hearts, eyes and ears.

I ask, as you leave this university and begin your careers, that you can be open to the mutual and inspiring relationship we can have once again. That you and I and others can pick up where our ancestors left off and explore new ideas in say, sustainable management, family and property laws, restorative justice, and holistically-based education, health and social service systems.

I believe this time, by including the female wisdom in our models, we can make our councils, chambers and parliaments more respectful places, and reshape our governments to be balanced and accountable. We can make

them truly democratic as was the goal many years ago.

Does agreeing to such a journey just bring heaviness and obligation? No! Like I said earlier, celebration is what sustains us, and what is gratefulness but a daily celebration of what we have?

Canada is built on the beauty of our combined strengths, and in this time of rapid depletion of the planet’s health and resources, we need now more than ever, to be grateful for what we have

and to be creative in protecting and nurturing it.

In closing, My Mama oo also taught me as someone born into a prosperous clan and who has been given knowledge and gifts, it is my duty to share with others what I can.

I ask you today to think about what you can share, and combine the blessings of your background, your solid education and your natural gifts with others to create an amazing new world.

CLax hopefuls gather in Paris, Ontario

By Jim Windle PARIS – Rob Diehl, media relations representative for the Canadian Lacrosse League was amongst the league’s top brass, coaches and general managers at the Syl Apps Arena in Paris for the 2015 Entry Draft and Combine, Saturday.

NLL star Jim Veltman will be league commissioner this year and he was pleased with the number of players and the skill levels at this year’s combine. “I think the GMs and coaches are looking for guys who have good skills to begin with,� said Veltman. “After that, it’s about character, who’s giving it their all, then conditioning. Who came to camp in shape and who didn’t.�

The semi-professional CLax league is set to enter its fourth year when play begins January 10th in Durham, where the Turfdogs will take on last year’s Creators Cup champions, Niagara Lock Monsters.

Six Nations coach Wayne General was

pleased with the point considering he had a short bench, and was missing three or four players. “The last two games have been ties, but we’ve been shorthanded the last three games. They played awesomely today and I can’t say anything negative about the game.

We made one mistake and they ended up scoring on it,� said General.

The Six Nations PeeWees are now 4-4-2 on the young season.

Ryan McMahon podcasts the wild west of the internet

by Garth Mullins Recently, Garth Mullins of the East Van Calling Podcast interviewed Indigenous comedian Ryan McMahon about story telling and the future of indigenous comedy.

Tell me about Indian and Cowboy – what’s the vision?

Indian and Cowboy is a website – a podcast platform. We’re producing Ď?‹˜‡ •Š‘™• ƒˆ–‡” ‘—” ‡‹‰Š–‡‡Â?ÇŚÂ?‘Â?–Š ‡–ƒǤ –ǯ• ‰‘ing to be a place where indigenous stories will live. The internet is the ‹Ž† ‡•– ƒÂ?† ™‡ǯ”‡ Ď?‹Â?†ing our place in that Wild West. While we do it, we’re taking our stories back and this is who we are.

It will be a podcast network, but it will also be a company that produces ˜‹†‡‘ ˆ‘” –Š‡ ‹Â?–‡”Â?‡–ǥ Ď?‹ŽÂ? for broadcast media and of course, the theatres. If I could be so bold, it would be like a Judd Apatow, Studio 360 kind of deal.

You could come in Indian and Cowboy and Â?ƒÂ?‡ ƒ Ď?‹ŽÂ?ÇĄ •–ƒ”– ƒ ’‘†cast. We could publish your book. We could produce your album. The vision is to try to create an industry where one doesn’t really exist and the inspiration is places like Radiotopia which is

like an Indie label for podcasters.

Capitalist lingo aside, the market will decide whether we succeed or fail. If we get embraced and do a good job, we’ll be around for a long time.

I know you have some folks helping you out on this – Chelsey Vowell, Hayden King, tell me about that.

Sure. We’re working a vacuum right now with indigenous podcasting.

You know, still to this day, when I tell people what I’m trying to do and what I’m trying to work on, –Š‡ Ď?‹”•– –Š‹Â?‰ ’‡‘’Ž‡ •ƒ› ... They don’t get excited.

They don’t go, “Oh wow!

That’s incredible!â€? The Ď?‹”•– –Š‹Â?‰ –Š‡› •ƒ› ‹•ǥ Dz Šǥ I don’t own an iPod.â€? It’s like, podcasting has nothing to do with iPods.

It is surprising to me because I’m such a podcast fan, so I had to look around and see who’s ƒ…–—ƒŽŽ› Ď?‹”•– ’”‘†—…‹Â?‰ work of any kind? I’m talking about blogs, litÂ‡Â”ÂƒÂ–Â—Â”Â‡ÇĄ ’‘†…ƒ•–• ƒÂ?† Č? Č? watch to see who is doing what and MĂŠtis in Space is brilliant.

It’s essentially MĂŠtis women sitting down with a bottle of wine watching ƒ …‹njĎ?‹ Ď?Ž‹…Â? ƒÂ?† †‡…‘Â?structing it through a decolonial lens. It’s one of those things that you hear

somebody doing and then the light bulb goes off and you go, “Oh, why have I never thought of that?!�

As you know, Garth, women in the podcast space are very rare. It’s like stand up comedy that way, so I thought wow, this is powerful, to have two young women really, really go in on these tropes and these themes and really break it down in a funny, articulate way while drinking a couple glasses of wine and having fun while doing it. I mean, what’s better than that? They’re really one of the only other indigenous podcasts that I could name and it was like oh, I have two podcasts. What an asshole, who builds a podcast network for himself?

King is a community sourced story-telling podcast. It can be about connection, disconnection, removal, arrival. It can be spiritually-based, it could be about a physical connection.

I don’t want to sound like a religious nut, so how do I articulate this? Well, I can articulate it through story.

Hayden King, within thirty seconds, sent me a private message on Twitter and said oh my God, this is ... I have so many stories. I’m a hunter. I said to Hayden jokingly, well, maybe you should host it if you’re so excited about this project. He was more excited about it than I was and he said, ‘I’ll host it.’ Then I told him what podcasting was all about and he went, ‘Oh ... Oh, well, yeah, I’ll still host it.’ It started honestly.

It’s still very humble beginnings for us and really what we’re trying to do right now is just build audiences for each show and we’re trying to get momentum. I just believe in the power of story and

I believe in those Stories from the Land so much.

I think many of us forget or are disconnected from just what it means to have a safe place to go to swim. If you look at where Chelsea Vowel, the host of MĂŠtis in Space, where she’s from, she’s from Lac Saint Anne, Alberta, which is a big, big lake. They can’t ‡ƒ– –Š‡ Ď?‹•Š ˆ”‘Â? –Šƒ– ŽƒÂ?‡ anymore. There’s all kinds of problems in that lake with algae and that is the lake where they bless each other in. That’s poisoned now.

So there’s lots of examples where I think for me, there’s something found in story that can bring our sense of community home. It can bring our sense of humanity back. It can connect us and reconnect us to each other and that’s indigenous and non indigenous.

I mean, the greatest thing is that when you tell somebody who you are, they understand you a little bit better.

What can people do to support Indian and Cowboy?

Well, the best thing they can do is listen to the shows and decide if they like them or not. I’m not going to ask anybody to tweet or Facebook or blog about it or put me on their podcast to talk about it unless they like it, unless they see something in it.

The best thing you can do is listen and if you liked it, send it to somebody.

It’s a grassroots effort to gain listeners and –‘ Ď?‹Â?† ’‡‘’Ž‡ –Šƒ– ƒ”‡ passionate about what

we are and that is giving voice to those that maybe didn’t have a voice before.

With podcasting, there’s no money involved. Podcasts are free to listen to, but they’re not free to produce and record and it takes a lot of time to sit and edit. The podcast hosting costs money and there’s all kinds of costs to doing it, so we just need people to listen. We need people to be excited about it.

This is a twenty hour a day job for me, to start Indian and Cowboy and I’m literally right now, wake up in the morning, do my emails for my stand up comedy and my touring and everything else is dedicated to this.

I can see the download numbers, I can see people listening, but they’re not hitting us up on Twitter, saying hey, great job, Chelsea or hey, great job, Hayden! We’re just not getting that interaction in the feedback, so it feels like a thankless job right now.

And can people donate?

Well, they can go to Ind i a n a n d c o w b o y. c o m .

There’s a donate button there and some people can donate, some people can’t. All we’re saying is the real payment that we care about right now is getting people to listen and if they’re listening, then that’s half of our battle.

Dz ǣ dz ϐ word the elder taught me that day by the river four years ago. Later, when things got truly confusing, twisted and turned up-side down and backwards, it’s the word I come back to... and the river – who never lies or “miscalculates.”

Normally, I am collecting water samples and comparing the results to a vast river of black and white health Ǥ gan my collection of traditional stories about the water (“Ohneganohs” in Cayuga) which added a rainbow of colour and meaning to those numbers and helped me to ϐ Ȃ like having a compass or a map of ideas, words and sounds.

I am a Medical Geologist, a weird kind

Ǧ Ǧϐ Ǧ w her e -h idden-i n-t he background-no-funding kind of scientist. Depending on who I’m talking to, I either spend my time looking after sick pet rocks or studying the relationship between the environment and health.

Either way, I’m really busy these days.

There are about 300 ϐ ties in the world, spread out over 80 countries.

Some of us have come to recognize the great value of indigenous traditional knowledge when it comes to making connections between the tiny dots of data that modern technology provides.

ǡ I’m the only one I know of who specializes in water chemistry and moth Ǧ Ǥ mostly white males in their 50s and 60s, even ϐ I’m a freak when I start talking about the relative merits of breastfeeding versus infant formula.

Still, everyone was created for a purpose and I’ve decided that reconnecting the mothers of our nations with the water so that we can protect ourselves, our families and Mother Earth is mine.

I’ve talked myself hoarse about child mortality and drinking water chemistry at municipal council meetings, written a 184-page university thesis on groundwater chemistry with three ba ϐ Ǧ Ǧ rotating position on my two hips, and contributed to United Nations and Pearson Peacekeeping Centre books on air and water quality and human health. ̈́ͳǤͷͷ will get me a cup of coffee (no extra charge for the chemical contaminants in Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River, water treatment additives or heavy metals leached out of the

plumbing) in the cafeteria at Queen’s Park or Parliament Hill, where the policies, laws and regulations of our multi-national society are decided. ǡ ǯ ϐ another group of predominantly middle-aged, white males who are sipping on bottled water and don’t want to hear my baby talk. Especially since they have much more important things to talk about: economic growth and sustainability, sending troops to Iraq, and how to keep 40-yearold oil pipelines alive as long as possible.

Since most of those high-level decision-makers grew up without access to traditional knowledge (closest to quantum physics or string theory in modern science) they are typically unaware of how a resilient economy is based on a stable society, which is only possible if you have a healthy environment. They are blind and deaf to how watching and listening to frogs and turtles will help them reduce their healthcare spending.

Things like clean air

and water and nutritious food have little or no monetary value in settler government, and this is largely because they’re also bad at math.

While most western-trained science geeks (who think that medicine wheels come on ambulances) are generally decent at basic arithmetic, when asked to put 2 + 2 together, the average politician typically gets an answer anywhere between 5 and 7 after they’ve added in their collective fear, greed and ignorance.

And this is bad news if, as medical geologists are fond of pointing out, “genetics loads the gun but environment pulls the trigger.” The average human drinks 55,000 litres of water (about 300 standard bathtubs) in a lifetime, with women consuming the most and early childhood being the most dangerous time for exposures to toxic substances, even at extremely low levels.

With the current government’s preoccupation with “public cents” and not “common sense” of

traditional knowledge keepers or modern scientists, it’s really not surprising that the water is in the state that it’s in and that we are experiencing record numbers of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and mental health problems with no solution in sight.

The truth is that the regulations we have about what we test for in water and how we do it only protect the polluters.

Changing this by working together with good minds and intentions is the work of our generation.

Which is what brought me back to the river I grew up beside, a Haudenosaunee grandmother and the Two Row Wampum Treaty of 1613.

Despite what the relationship between First Nations and colonials looks like now, it’s important to remember that we started off well.

To share and combine the ancient wisdom of Indigenous peoples with the technical and scien ϐ by the newcomers was a beautiful idea, a saving idea.

Comforting Cabbage

By Joe Farrell I have fond memories of ȋ in Ukrainian) preparing many different meals featuring cabbage. One that stands out in my memory – aside from all the borsht she would make me eat – is boiled meat with boiled cabbage. Cabbage is a staple ingredient in Ukrainian food beyond its use in cabbage rolls.

It is a common food found in many diets around the world – from German sauerkraut to Korean kimchi, to Dutch coleslaw, to boiled cabbage with bacon in Ireland. In all its forms, it is cheap, delicious comfort food.

It is easy to grow and will keep well in your fridge or root cellar. If you don’t grow it, it is typically inexpensive and common in markets and grocery stores. One large head can go a long way in feeding a family. If you end up with too much of it and lack storage space, it is easily made into a ferment with little effort.

Cabbages are in the mustard family and offer a variety of strong, ϐ Ǥ should be taken when cooking with them, as they can easily overtake ϐ ǡ ly when making a soup.

There are many different varieties cultivated around the world, offering a range of co ϐ Ǥ cooking with red cabbage, be mindful that it will change the colour of everything you cook with it. If you want to maintain the red colour, add vinegar in the cooking process, otherwise it will turn a shade of blue.

Simple Soup

Enjoy!

Cabbage

Ingredients: D Oil D Salt Pork D Onion D Cabbage D Apple Cider Vinegar D Salt Directions: Slice onions thinly and cut pork into small pieces.

Start by cooking the salt pork in a small amount of oil on medium heat to render the fat. Add onions and continue cooking until tender. Cut cabbage in a large dice, not bigger than the spoon you’ll be eating it with. Add cabbage to ǡ ϐ Ǥ

Adding vinegar at the end of cooking helps balance out the richness of the soup and gives it some life.

This simple cabbage soup can serve as a base for many variations. Try using a tougher cut of meat like a pork hock and simmer until tender, then add the cabbage. Instead of adding vinegar, try using tomatoes to add the needed acidity to balance the soup.

Top ten safety tips before winter hits Getting your vehicle properly ready for the coming winter means a number of things. Here are the top ten things you should be doing before the snow is around to stay.

1. Clean your car thoroughly. Nothing is worse than shivering outside in the cold trying to vaccum at one of those pay vaccum cleaners. Take the time on one of the milder days to give your car a good cleaning in preparation for the coming season.

2. Get your oil, ϐ checked. When it’s below freezing nobody wants to be outside stranded on the side of the road with a blown out belt, hose or spark-plug.

3. Make sure you have the right antifreeze and the right oil in your car. Did you know there are different oil formulas for winter and summer?

Winter oil has the correct viscocity for optimal performance when temperatures that plummet below zero.

4. Keep your gas tank and your windshield ϐ sible. Gas below half full in the winter can create condensation resulting in gas line freeze ups.

5. Keep some emergency supplies in the car just in case. The recent ϐ that dumped two and half metres of snow in 24 hours left hundreds stranded in their cars across the

region. Some for up to a day! For your safety keep a blanket, hats, gloves, a ϐ ǡ energy bars and a phone charger on hand. Not a bad idea to program the phone number of a local tow company into your cellphone’s directory as well – just in case.

6. Clean off the car of snow completely before driving away. Nothing is more hazardous for winter driving than being blinded by blowing snow; from Mother Nature or from the car in front of you. Make sure that you are brushing off your licence plate, hood, roof, headlamps and rear signal lights as well.

7. Winter tires are worth the money. If you must drive in the winter

ensure that you have proper winter tires installed on your car. Winter tires ϐ ible rubber that grip the ground better in freezing Ǥ substantial winter snow arrives is the perfect time to get them installed on your vehicle.

8. If you do decide to stick with all-season tires, make sure that your tire pressure is correct for your vehicle. This also helps with getting a better bang for your buck in the gas tank.

9. Slow down! Even with winter tires installed, giving yourself an extra ϐ get where you need to be is also worth the investment.

10. Consider staying

home if the weather is bad.

In times of extreme snowfall sometimes taking a raincheck and keeping safe at home is the better bet.

Tim’s Tire and Tim’s Towing have been serving the Haldimand-Norfolk area since 1996 and they are the largest tire shop in the area. For fast service and for all your winter tire needs the friendly staff are available to answer all your questions. Tim’s Tire is located at 97 Main Street South in Hagersville and open Monday - Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm and on Saturdays from 8:00am to 12:00pm.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and „—‹Ž† —’ –‘ „‹‰‰‡” ’ŽƒÂ?•Ǥ ˜‡Â?–—ƒŽŽ› ›‘— ™‹ŽŽ Ď?‹Â?† ƒ groove.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

That’s the only way to prove to others that your word means something and you are committed to honoring your commitments.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 There may be more to the big picture than you are seeing, Sagittarius. Gather the facts before you jump to any conclusions. You may just see things from a different perspective.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you.
