Council audit won’t be ready for another few weeks

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) Elected Council held its first-ever annual general meeting last week but a breakdown of the community’s finances was not on the agenda.

Elected Chief Mark Hill said the financial statements will be available within the next few weeks.

The much-anticipated AGM last Thursday instead focused on council’s activities in the past four years, with this current term coming to a close this fall.

Much of the past four years in this council’s term has been spent responding to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Hill said.

SNGR received $27 million in funds to combat the pandemic, the community learned, that was spent on hiring staff, providing relief funds to community members and businesses, and building infrastructure to test and treat community members.

Elected Council still has about $3.36 million remaining from the $27.7 million in Covid funding they received.

The community lost 25

members to the Covid-19 virus and a moment of silence was held in their memory.

“We had a tremendous amount of loss during Covid,” said Hill. “It was a really tough time for our community.”

Six Nations kept the virus at bay for a few months into the spring of 2020, partly by closing down all entrances to the reserve and paying community members to man each entrance, or “checkpoint” before opening the community back up to outside traffic and visitors

in June 2020.

“It was a huge undertaking,” said Hill. “There were many challenges at that time. It showed who we were and how we came together.”

He said council spent about 80 percent of its time responding to the pandemic in those early days.

“We were able to continue on a few other things, as well,” said Elected Chief Hill. “I don’t think we got to move on as much as we wanted to because of the pandemic.”

One of the projects

elected council moved forward with was the cannabis portfolio, passing the controversial Six Nations Cannabis Control Law in the spring of 2021.

The passage of that law sparked a protest in front of Six Nations Police headquarters, with physical confrontations between community members and police and a few minor injuries.

“Our goal and our job in passing the Cannabis Control Law was always, and still is today, all about the health and safety of the products,” said Hill. “There’s a lot of work that still has to be done from industry.”

Elected Council also created a new department this term: a Mother Earth department, focusing on environmental issues.

SNGR also responded to the residential school burial crisis in 2021 that brought to light the existence of countless numbers of hidden graves found at the former government-sponsored boarding schools for Indigenous children across Canada aimed at assimilating them into colonial culture.

Elected Council, in response, helped create the Six Nations Survivors’ Secretariat, said the elected Chief.

The Secretariat is an organization overseen by residential school survivors and has been tasked to help search for potential hidden graves on the grounds surrounding the former Mohawk Institute in Brantford, where thousands of Six Nations children attended until the church-run school closed down in 1971.

Hill also mentioned council’s implementation of a new structural re-organization with a new meeting schedule and the assignment of portfolios for each councillor.

Changes coming to Six Nations election code, including two-term limit

The community has spoken: elected councillors will be limited to a maximum of two consecutive terms.

That’s just one of the changes that will officially be made to the Six Nations Election Code on Aug. 31, after a community vote on the changes during elected council’s Annual General Meeting at the community hall last Thursday.

The changes come ahead of this fall’s general election.

Voters overwhelmingly agreed that potential candidates for elected council demonstrate some previous community in-

volvement, with 74 people voting yes, while only 14 said it wasn’t necessary.

When it comes to term limits, 40 people voted that councillors should only be allowed to serve two consecutive terms. Twenty-one people said the limit should be three terms, while 23 people said there should be no term limits.

Voters also overwhelmingly believe that the membership should be able to choose any option they wish when it comes to voting for chief and council, with 38 saying yes to in-person, only seven saying yes to electronic voting, and another seven saying yes to mail-in ballots. Fifty people said membership should be allowed to vote using all of those methods.

The community also wants to go back to having 12 councillors instead of the current nine. Thirty-nine people voted to remain at nine councillors, while 49 people said there should be 12 councillors. Election code voters were almost evenly split on whether or not the electoral officer should be an Indigenous or non-Indigenous person, with 22 saying yes to the CEPO being non-Indigenous, as long as they are qualified, and 23 saying no. But a large portion of voters42 people - said not only should the CEPO be Indigenous but they should also be a Six Nations member. There were 89 voters with one completely spoiled ballot that was torn up and turned in to CEPO Lori Harris.

Walk the Tract event to bring awareness to SN land claims, court case

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council is inviting the community to participate in a three-day event along the Haldimand Tract aimed at bringing awareness to Six Nations’ land rights and upcoming land claim court case in 2024.

Elected Chief Mark Hill encouraged community members to join the walk from Sept. 22 to Sept. 24th, which will bring awareness not only to Six Nations’ land rights along the Haldimand Tract, but

also the mammoth court case Six Nations filed against the Crown for an accounting of those lands.

Known as the SNGR Litigation, or Six Nations Litigation, Hill said the case is expected to go to trial in late 2024. It has already been delayed several times and was originally filed in 1995.

“It’s a really important case to all of us in our history,” said Elected Chief Hill. “It’s about an accounting of the land that was stolen from us.”

The land in question spans six miles on either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its source and originally com-

prised almost one million acres.

Hill said the goal is to bring awareness to each of the municipalities along the tract.

There are over 38 municipalities located within the Haldimand Tract - almost half of all the municipalities in the province, said Hill.

“Our goal of this friendship walk is to bring awareness of who we are and the court case,” said Hill.

Elected Council is holding a press conference on the event today at the Six Nations Community Hall at 1 p.m.

Quitting vaping may be a life-saving resolution

Electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices were once described as potentially “safer” and “healthier” methods of smoking, even by leading health organizations.

Many former tobacco smokers even turned to e-cigarettes as a method to quit traditional cigarettes. However, recent research into vaping and a rash of lung illnesses and deaths linked to vaping has led many to question if vaping is safe. Those who suspect it’s not may be wise to quit.

The illness toll rises: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that, as of September 2019, there were 530 cases of vaping-related lung illnesses. Eight people also died, with the first confirmed death occurring in April. The

first known vaping-related illness in Canada was documented on September 18, 2019, when a youth from Ontario was put into intensive care for respiratory illness. While federal and state investigators are largely focusing their investigations on vape cartridges that likely contained tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component linked to marijuana, as a potential source of these illnesses, all electronic cigarette devices are now under scrutiny.

Vaping has quickly become an epidemic in schools. More than 3.6 million American middle and high school students currently use e-cigarettes, according to the latest National Youth Tobacco Study.

Teen nicotine vaping rates in 2019 were double those of 2017, the National Institute on Drug Abuse says.

Despite the installation of vaping detectors, and some

schools going so far as to remove doors from bathroom stalls, opportunities to vape still abound. Older students may leave campus to vape in their cars during lunch breaks. Laws restricting the sales of e-cigarettes to youth in certain states have already been implemented. Lawmakers also plan to ban most flavoured e-cigarettes and nicotine pods in an attempt to curtail their use among teenagers.

Many adults look to e-cigarettes to reduce their dependence on tobacco products. However, Johns Hopkins Medical Center warns e-cigarettes are just as addictive. Also, many e-cigarette users get even more nicotine through extra-strength cartridges or by increasing the voltage to get a greater hit of the addictive substance. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved vaping as a smoking cessation method.

People never can be certain about the ingredients in vaping liquids. As the popularity of e-cigarettes grows, newer, cheaper, and poorly regulated products are being imported from all over the world to meet the demand. According to the CDC, exposure to such products may cause a range of symptoms, including cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. There also have been cases of “popcorn lung,” which derived its name from a former chemical flavouring (diacetyl) used in microwave popcorn linked to scarring of the tiny air sacs in the lungs, resulting in suffocation. Popcorn lung also has been linked to vaping use. More evidence continues to point to vaping as an unsafe practice. Quitting the habit now can have profound, potentially life-saving effects.

Signs kids may be using drugs or alcohol

Staff Report

Children grow by spreading their wings and learning to be more independent. As they dabble in new things, children learn through trial and error, and certain mistakes may be made along the way. One of those mistakes may be getting involved with drugs or alcohol.

Alcohol is the most commonly used substance among young people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Study found that 19 per cent of people between the ages of 12 and 20 reported drinking alcohol in a 30-day period. Other findings indicated that 29 per cent of high school students drank alcohol and 14 per cent engaged in binge

drinking.

It is not so easy for parents to realize their children are experimenting with alcohol. However, the following are some signs that kids may be engaging in such behaviour.

Your child is exhibiting mood changes, such as flare-ups of temper, irritability and defensiveness. Your child appears impaired, including slurred speech, red eyes, staggered gait, and trouble with co-ordination. Your child is spending time with new friends and/or sneaking around. Your child exhibits altered appetite and sleep patterns, as well as changes in weight. Your child has frequent nosebleeds, which could be indicative of methamphetamine or cocaine use. You notice that bottles of alcohol in your home are missing or not at levels where you left them. You may notice missing prescription pills or overthe-counter cold medicines as well. Your child’s appearance may be deteriorating and there is a lack of interest in personal grooming. Your child has injuries or bruises of unknown origin. You find alcohol or drugs in your child’s possession. According to the treatment centre Ashwood Recovery, someone who is abusing alcohol may have ashen or jaundiced skin as well as bloodshot eyes. Signs of methamphetamine usage include loss of teeth and the skin takes on a dull appearance. People abusing heroin appear lethargic, dazed and confused. They may be emaciated and have brittle hair and nails. It’s important to note that some young adults start using heroin to help them lose weight.

Six Nations Chiefs to represent at Mann Cup

PETERBOROUGH — For the first time in seven years, the Six Nations Senior ‘A’ Chiefs are Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) champions and will represent the east in the Mann Cup final.

After defeating the Cobourg Kodiaks in five games at the start of August, the Chiefs remained hungry and cinched the MSL title in four games through the best-of-seven last Wednesday.

Visiting the Peterborough Memorial Centre for the second time in the series, Austin Staats opened scoring with the first goal, two minutes in from Randy Staats. Lyle Thompson followed just 20 seconds later with a single from Brendan Bomberry. Austin Staats hammered away two more, one from Shayne Jackson and Brendan Bomberry before the end of the period. The 0-3 standing

Lakers scored once before the end, making the game 4-1 for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs executed an equalizing second period, starting with a short-handed, unassisted goal by Randy Staats just 1 minute in. A few moments later,

Shayne Jackson scored on a power play from Bren-

dan Bomberry. Bryan Cole got his name n the board from Ben Mcintosh, and Austin Staats delivered his fourth goal of the game, again from his brother Randy Staats. This upped the Chiefs lead lead 8-1.

In the third period, the Lakers offered a fight, with four goals put forward be-

first time since

For his dominating performance throughout the playoffs, Austin Staats was awarded the Shooter Davis MSL Final Most Valuable Player Award at the end of the game. From 2022-2023, Staats collected 88 points; 45 in goals and 38 in assists out of just 19 games played, ranking him third in the league for points, but the highest leading scorer.

fore the end. But the Chiefs maintained the distance thanks to goals from Eric Fannell ed by Austin Staffs and Tim Edwards, fed by Jeremy Thompson. This secured their fourth game

win to finish on top, with a comfortable score of 10-5.

Chiefs goaltending was nearly flawless between the pipes and with the win, the Chiefs swept the bestof-seven MSL final 4-0.

The Chiefs will move to take on the winner of the Western Lacrosse Association final between the Langley Thunder and New Westminster Salmonbellies. According to the WLA website, the two teams have played a full six games thus far and are currently tied 3-3 in their series.

Rivermen deliver a loss to Oakville in first game of President’s Cup

game 2-1.

OAKVILLE — A long tournament rests ahead of the Six Nations Senior ‘B’ Rivermen, who con-tinue to represent in the President’s Cup in Oakville at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre.

A positive start was earned in the first game of the tournament that pitted them against the Oak-ville Rock on Sunday, August 27.

Familiarity and precision allowed the Rivermen to achieve a lead in the first period. After the Rock scored one, Justin Martin scored on a breakaway from Dustin Hill. With one minute left in the period, Winter Rivera earned another from Greg Elijah-Brown, making the

In the second period, Danton Miller increased the lead with a goal fed from Winter Rivera. The Rock responded with a goal of their own, but Layne Smith cancelled it out from Ryley Johnson. The Rock offered anther Goa, to which Dalton Sulver cancelled again from Eric Martin.

This made the game 5-3 in the third, where the Rivermen held their own and allowed just one goal in. This finalized the game 5-4 for the Rivermen.

Their next opponents proved to be more difficult, as the Rivermen moved to face the Snake Is-land Muskies on Monday night.

The first period saw the Muskies take a steep lead 1-4, as Wayne Hill earned the sole goal after a feed from Layne Smith. Going

into the second period, the Muskies earned two more goals in the first 10 minutes of play, while the Rivermen earned two

in the latter half. Water Rivera and Jordan Goddard worked to bring the score up to 3-6, a comfortable lead still for the Muskies.

In the third period, Winter Rivera delivered a goal from Wesley Whitlow while the Muskies of-fered two goals before the end of the period. To pick at the lead, Greg Elijah-Brown and Wayne Hill secured singles to finalize the game at 6-8 for the Muskies.

Coming away from their first loss in the same day, the Rivermen had to take on the Edmonton Miners after a break.

The first and second periods saw the Rivermen lose footing on defence and not gain traction on offence. This allowed for six goals to be scored by the Miners before this third period.

Returning back to the floor for the third, however, seemed to spark focus and determination as the Rivermen opened the period with a goal by Justin Mar-

tin. Danton Miller closely followed with another from Layne Smith. Interrupted by a single goal from the Miners, Justin Martin went for his second goal with a break away feed from Marcus Elvin. Just moments later, Layne Smith fired another goal from Jordan Goddard on the power play. With two minutes remaining, Layne Smith fired another from Greg Elijah-Brown to close the game at a much closer, 8-6. Their next game falls in the evening of Tuesday, August 29 set against the Ladner Pioneers, too late for reporting in this issue of the Two Row Times. They will play two more games by Thurs-day, August 31, facing the Kahnawake Mohawks on Wednesday, and the Tuscarora Toma-hawks the following evening, both at 5:00 p.m..
