A historic $23 billion dollar settlement for Indigneous survivors of child welfare systems across Canada has racked up $55 million dollars over and above the agreed upon legal fees set out for the case between five law firms. Reps who pushed for the tribunal and settlement for survivors of child welfare discrimination say that the legal bills are unreasonable. Full story inside on Page 8.

‘Champion of First Nations arts’: former Woodland Cultural Centre director Tom Hill passes Hill “redefined relationships between museums and Indigenous people” in Canada

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Tom Hill, former director of the Woodland Cultural Centre is being remembered as a champion of First Nations arts this week, after his death was announced in a statement from the museum. Hill died on November 11. He was 80 years old. “Tom was instrumental in creating paths for Indigenous artists and cultural workers. He began his career as a champion of First Nations arts at the Expo ’67 Indians of Canada Pavilion and then went on to work at the National Gallery of Canada and sev-

eral other positions within the federal government,”
said the Woodland Cultural Centre in a statement.
“In the early 1980’s, Tom returned to his Six Nations home to become the Museum Director at Woodland, a position he held for decades until his retirement. While there, he curated numerous groundbreaking exhibitions, often stepping back from the spotlight to help other Indigenous artists receive the exposure he felt they so richly deserved.” Throughout his time at Woodland, Tom continued to work on the promotion of Indigenous art and artists nationally. He was one of the chairs and principal authors of the 1992 Taskforce on Museums and First Peoples, which redefined the relationship between museums and
Indigenous peoples in Canada. “He was so instrumental in creating paths for Indigenous artists and cultural workers, many which were not open, until he managed to walk in both worlds,” says Janis Monture, who served as Executive Director of Woodland before becoming the CEO of the Canadian Museums Association. Perhaps his greatest legacy however, is his character. “Tom’s work locally and nationally reflected who he was as person,” notes Heather George, Executive Director of Woodland. “He was collaborative, kind, open and inclusive.” Naomi Johnson, formerly the Art Curator of Woodland, agrees: “He
genuinely had a love of life and was curious about people of all walks, and showed equal levels of respect and consideration for everyone.” Those wishing to extend condolences to the family are invited to make a donation to the Woodland Cultural Centre in lieu of flowers. The Woodland Cultural Centre is a museum situated on the property of the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School. The museum has been holding space for Iroquoian history, language and arts since 1972.

Deadly drug Fentanyl circulating in community drug supply DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES
Six Nations Health Services is warning of overdoses in the community, as well as surrounding areas, due to the potent opioid Fentanyl in the local drug supply. Local health officials warned on Nov. 8 that there has been an increase in overdoses in the community but said, “information about the drug types that contributed to the overdoses was unavailable.” However, Health Services did say that drugs like Fentanyl, an opioid (painkiller) 100 times more powerful than morphine, are known to be circulating in the community. Health services advises
calling 911 in the event of an overdose and administering an overdose treatment, such as Naloxone, until paramedics arrive. Naloxone kits are free nasal sprays available at various social and health services locations in the community that temporarily reverses the effects of an opioid overdose until medical help arrives. Naloxone kits are available at Six Nations Mental Health and Addictions at 1769 Chiefswood Road and the Crisis Hub at 1546 Chiefswood Road. Health officials advise reducing your risk of a possible overdose by carrying Naloxone at all times, never using drugs alone, and calling 911 even if Naloxone has been given. A law called the Good Samaritan Law has been implemented to protect
people from simple possession of illicit drugs if they call for medical help from an overdose. “If you yourself have taken drugs or have drugs on you, the Good Samaritan Law can protect you,” Health Services said in the warning. “The Good Samaritan Law provides immunity from simple possession charges for those who call 911 in the case of an overdose. This law is in place to encourage and protect people who are witnessing or experiencing an overdose so they can seek help and save lives.” For overdose training and harm reduction supplies, community members can contact the Six Nations Outreach Team from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday at 548-328-2038.

59th Elected Council sworn in DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES
It’s a whole new team at the band office. A new chief and a new Senior Administrative Officer, as well as a few new faces on council are at the helm Six Nations of the Grand River, with the 59th elected council’s swearing-in ceremony last Tuesday. The ceremony took place three days after the community’s general election on Saturday, which saw Chief Sherri-lyn Hill rise to the position of chief, beating out her only competition, Grand River Enterprises President Steve Williams, by just under 200 votes. Chief Hill replaced former Chief Mark Hill, the youngest chief to ever serve on elected council, after he decided not to seek re-election. A few familiar faces have taken a seat on the new council, including former SAO Dayle Bomberry,
former Chief’s candidate Cynthia Jamieson, and former councillor candidate Alaina VanEvery. Other new faces include Amos Keye Jr., Dean Hill and Carole Greene. Back for another term are Councillors Greg Frazer, long-time councillors Helen Miller and Melba Thomas (who have both served for almost two decades), as well as Audrey Powless-Bomberry, Hazel Johnson and Kerry Bomberry. Former Coun. Nathan Wright is the interim SAO at the band office, and former councillor Michelle Bomberry did not seek re-election. This council also grew to 12 positions, from the former nine, after the election code was revised earlier this year to go back to the original 12 councillor positions. Terms are still four years long, but councillors are now limited to two terms. Votes for Chief fell drastically this election,
down by almost 700, with only 1,050 people casting their ballot for the chief’s position, compared to the 1,716 people who voted for chief in the 2019 election. All the councillors and new chief swore to uphold the community’s trust in last week’s swearing-in ceremony. Chief and Council took the following oath in council chambers and during a live Facebook meeting: “I do solemnly and sincerely affirm before the people of Six Nations of the Grand River that I will faithfully perform my duties, carry out my responsibilities, promote the welfare of the people, safeguard the security of the community and will, in no way, betray the people’s trust. Should I break my oath, I shall be willing to submit myself to disciplinary action and accept the penalty as determined by the integrity commission. This is my solemn oath.”

Seeing histories of forced First Nations labour: the 'Nii Ndahlohke / I Work' art exhibition By Mary Jane Logan McCallum, Professor of History, University of Winnipeg and Julie Rae Tucker, Head of Programs and Projects at Art Windsor Essex and Munsee Delaware History and Language group member How do we learn and teach about First Nations labour in ways that connect to local economies and Canadian history education? In a new exhibition, Nii Ndahlohke / I Work, at Art Windsor Essex, labour is the central theme for understanding the history and legacies of Mount Elgin Industrial School, an Indian Residential School in southwestern Ontario. The exhibition brings together artists from the communities whose children attended this institution, and it runs until June 24, 2024. It emerged from the Munsee Delaware Language and History Group, a community-based language and history learning project. The group has worked together for many years to study and teach Munsee
language and history, and supports research and teaching about Munsee people, communities, languages and territories. Manual labour demands Mount Elgin was located at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in southwestern Ontario. Like other Industrial Schools of its era, Mount Elgin was an underfunded religious federal boarding school and a model farm that was expected to generate income to pay for itself. Students at the school were expected to work at the institute as much as they were expected to attend class. Their labour was invisible within the school budget. However, the Indian department was aware that Mount Elgin students were not given progressive training in skilled trades and that manual labour demands on students kept them out of the classroom and therefore compromised their education. Farm labour, domestic service Manual labour prepared students for limited
work opportunities: farm labour for boys and men, and domestic service for girls and women. These jobs supported the surrounding rural and urban settler economies at a time when First Nations were pressured to lease and even surrender reserve land to area farmers to round out meagre incomes. Significantly, forced labour was a key issue in student resistance at Mount Elgin including running away, setting fires and attempting to ruin farm equipment. It was also a key issue in parents' letters of complaints to the department and band attempts to intervene in federal schooling. Hard labour also impacted the children's health, and poor diet and stress compounded to accelerate the spread and deadliness of diseases like tuberculosis. Labour as central theme Nii Ndahloke / I Work, addresses histories of student labour at Mount Elgin but also its larger impact on reserve and settler economies of southwestern Ontario in
the era. The show also addresses histories of gendered experiences of Indian education, racism, student illness, intergenerational collaboration and the preservation of different forms of labour and the stories and metaphors that accompany them. The majority of artists are from First Nations communities in southern Ontario. Artists featured in the exhibit are: Kaia'tanoron Dumoulin Bush, Jessica Rachel Cook, Nancy Deleary, Gig Fisher, Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Judy McCallum, Donna Noah, Mo Thunder and Meg Tucker. Each of the artists were given three sources in common to inspire their work: a silent film about Mount Elgin entitled The Church in Action in an Indian Residential School (1943) produced by the United Church of Canada to promote its Home Missions work; a basic timeline of the school; and a physical and audio copy of the 2022 book Nii Ndahlohke: Boys' and Girls' Work at Mount Elgin Industrial School,
1890-1915. This book is the result of a project developed by the Munsee Delaware Language and History Group. Artists' own histories The artists' resulting works range widely and meaningfully address the artist's own histories. The exhibit presents the film in a separate room, with hand-sketched images of student uniforms and replica student graffiti from the walls of the last remaining Mount Elgin building, the barn. As part of the exhibition design, a red line along the wall follows visitors around the exhibit. This line represents a story told to Julie, one of the authors of this story, by our relative Norma Richter, about sewing the red piping featured on the yoke of girls' uniforms at the school she attended in the 1930s and 40s _ one of the only half-interesting things she remembered doing in her years at the school. It also commemorates Norma's refusal of work, and the two times she ran away from the school. The representation of the red
line grounds the exhibit in family and community history. Community-based approach The exhibition reflects a different approach to both history and curation. As well as being a source for this exhibit, Nii Ndahlohke / I Work was created for an audience of local students and for use in the Ontario history curriculum, which, in Grade 8, covers the period 1890 to 1914. The book is split into two sections, one on boys' work and one on girls' work. It also features Munsee language and Munsee artwork highlighting certain sections or themes. The exhibit amplifies and starkly interprets the history of student labour at Mount Elgin. We hope people will leave with is a better understanding of the residential school system in Canada as a shared history.

Blackstock sees 'imbalance' between $55M lawyers' bill, welfare victims' compensation CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — Cindy Blackstock, one of the people responsible for bringing forward a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case that led to a historic settlement agreement, says she is concerned about an ``imbalance'' between what lawyers and victims will be paid. The Federal Court approved a landmark $23-billion class-action lawsuit settlement last month to compensate more
than 300,000 First Nations children and their families for chronic underfunding of on-reserve child-welfare services. The federal government and class-action lawyers from five legal firms have since reached an additional $55-million deal over legal fees, which they promised to negotiate as part of the settlement agreement but which has not yet been approved in Federal Court. ``I don't understand the system where the person who will have to have the most courage _ those who are victimized _ to bring forward the complaint
(will) receive only a minutiae of what the lawyers receive who argued the complaint,'' Blackstock, a lawyer with the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society, said in an interview on Tuesday. The settlement came after a years-long battle with the federal government, which included a 2016 tribunal decision that the underfunding was discriminatory, and a 2019 ruling awarding $40,000 in compensation for each affected person. The initial complaint revolved around allegations that Ottawa's underfunding
of on-reserve child-welfare services amounted to discrimination, and that First Nations children were denied equal access to support, including school supplies and medical equipment. The tribunal found in 2016 that First Nations were adversely affected by the services provided by the government and, in some cases, people were denied services as a result of the government's involvement. It acknowledged the suffering of those ``denied an equitable opportunity to remain together or to be reunited
in a timely manner.'' Indigenous Services Canada said last week it considers the $55-million proposed agreement to cover class-action lawyers' fees to be reasonable. The department said that amount is in line with legal fees paid for previous class-action lawsuits. Still, Blackstock said she is concerned about an ``imbalance'' in compensation being paid to lawyers, when victims are to receive comparatively little. In documents submitted to the Federal Court dated Nov. 6, class-action lawyers said previous materials filed to the court estimated the total value of work up until the settlement approval hearing would be approximately $17.5 million. That figure remained accurate by the time parties were making arguments about a final amount, the document reads, with the value of the work estimated at just under $17.6 million by the end of October. Blackstock pointed to that figure, saying: ``So why should there be a premium of this order?'' In an affidavit prepared for the Federal Court dated Oct. 6 and submitted a month later alongside other documents, David Sterns, a partner at Sotos LLP who
worked on the case, said language included in fee retainer agreements would have resulted in much higher legal fees. If those agreements were followed to the letter, then the costs would have been as high as $2.3 billion, he said. Instead, the lawyers sought a lower $80-million figure. Ottawa still found that price too steep, and a full day of judicial mediation to resolve that impasse was unsuccessful. The details of the mediation are confidential. But the class-action lawyers noted in the documents submitted to court on Nov. 6 that ``it was the view of all plaintiff counsel that the (final settlement agreement) is a historic achievement and that focus should be placed on the settlement rather than a dispute over legal fees.'' The $55-million figure was ultimately ``fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the class,'' they concluded. Blackstock said the costs of the original 2007 human-rights complaint were largely paid for by her organization, with lawyers often doing the work pro bono.

Diabetes mellitus affects scores of families, including the four-legged members of the household. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, diabetes is a common endocrine disease in dogs and cats, occurring in roughly one out of every 300 animals. Most cases of spontaneous diabetes happen in middle-aged to older dogs and cats. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot use glucose normally. Glucose is the main source of energy (sugar) for the body’s cells, and the body requires insulin to transfer glucose from the bloodstream to the cells that need it. If there isn’t enough insulin or the body is unable to use insulin properly, glucose accumulates in high levels in the blood, reports the American Veterinary Medi-
cal Association. PetMD says that there is not one single cause for diabetes in dogs and cats. For some, it is a genetic condition. Others may develop the disease due to an underlying medical condition or from being obese. Medications such as steroids also can induce diabetes in dogs and cats. Testing for diabetes is not routine during veterinary exams. Pet owners often stumble on a diabetes diagnosis after noticing some key indicators that something is amiss with their pets, which include: - Excessive consumption of water and increased urination that may result in accidents in a normally house-trained pet. - Increased hunger. - Cloudy eyes, which occurs particularly in dogs. - Recurring or chronic infections that can include the skin or urinary tract. - Weight loss. - Apparent weakness. Standard bloodwork
and urinalysis will confirm a diabetes diagnosis. If pet owners learn their companion animals have diabetes, they must learn to accept this is a lifelong condition that must be managed properly; otherwise, untreated diabetes can lead to liver dysfunction, kidney failure and a life-threatening condition called ketoacidosis. Treatment with insulin is the standard course for pets with diabetes. Carefully timed and measured feedings to help control the balance of insulin and glucose also will be necessary. Veterinarians can help design a diet to help with the management of diabetes. Insulin is generally injected twice per day, shortly after meals. It is very important to maintain proper insulin and feeding schedules and a proper appetite for the pet while on insulin therapy. Vet-based and at-home monitoring of blood and urine glucose levels also is necessary.

How diabetes affects various parts of the body
JACE KOBLUN
jace@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Diabetes affects millions of people across the globe. Despite a growing awareness of the disease and ad campaigns designed to educate individuals about diabetes prevention, the number of people with diabetes is predicted to rise by more than 100 million by 2030 and reach 783 million by 2045. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or cannot effectively utilize the insulin it produces. When an individual has diabetes, various parts of that person’s body can be affected. Recognizing how diabetes affects the body can shed light on just how debilitating the disease can become. Eyes: The National Eye Institute notes that chronically high blood sugar from diabetes can cause damage in the retina that ultimately leads to diabetic retinopathy. That’s because excessive sugar in the blood can lead to the blockage of tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina. That blockage effectively cuts off the blood supply to the retina, prompting the eye to attempt to grow new
blood vessels. However, the Mayo Clinic notes that these new vessels do not develop properly and can leak easily. The longer a person has diabetes and the less controlled their blood sugar is, the more likely they are to develop diabetic retinopathy, which can cause blindness. Heart: According to the Michigan-based Beaumont Health, individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing heart disease at a younger age and in a more severe form than those without diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that this link is due to the damage that high blood sugar causes to the vessels and nerves that control the heart. In addition, people with diabetes are more likely to have high blood pressure, too much LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol in their bloodstream and high triglycerides, which is a type of fat in the blood. Each of these conditions increases a person’s risk for heart disease. Skin: Diabetes also affects the skin. In fact, the Michigan-based not-forprofit group Beaumont Health notes that a skin issue is often the first sign that a person has diabetes. That’s because diabetes
damages blood vessels in the skin, leading to issues such as diabetic dermopathy. Diabetic dermopathy is characterized by brown, raised patches of skin, typically on the legs. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that, when diabetes affects the skin, this is often a sign that blood sugar levels are too high. Kidneys: The National Kidney Foundation notes that diabetes damages small blood vessels throughout the body, including in the kidneys. When vessels in the kidneys are damaged, the kidneys cannot clean blood properly. As a result, the body retains more water and salt than it should, which produces a host of negative consequences, including weight gain and the buildup of waste materials in the blood. In addition, elevated blood sugar levels force the kidneys to work harder. Over time, all that extra work can lead to kidney failure. Diabetes is a potentially deadly, yet often preventable disease. By taking measures to safeguard themselves against diabetes, individuals also are protecting various parts of their body from the ripple effects of the disease.

The basics of diabetes and diet STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
The number of people living with diabetes has risen dramatically over the last four decades. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 1980 and 2014, the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million to 422 million. The dramatic spike in diabetes cases in such a short period of time highlights just how big a threat the disease poses to the health of people across the globe. That makes now a perfect time to learn more about diabetes and what individuals can do to manage their disease. What is diabetes? Diabetes is a chronic disease related to how the body produces or utilizes insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or cannot effectively utilize the insulin it produces. What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? The WHO notes that more than 95 per cent of the people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does
not use insulin properly, whereas type 1 occurs when the body does not produce insulin. Can diabetes be managed? It’s important that individuals diagnosed with diabetes recognize that both types 1 and 2 can be managed. The ADA reports that diet and routine exercise are vital to managing type 2 diabetes. The ADA urges people who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes to speak with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN/ RD) to find foods that are healthy and help them feel satisfied at the end of a meal. Lingering may compel people to make poor dietary choices that could make their condition worse. The ADA’s “Nutrition Consensus Report,” published in 2019, is a comprehensive review of 600 research articles over a five-year span conducted by a panel of scientists, doctors, endocrinologists, diabetes educators, and dieticians. That review emphasized the significance of working with an RDN, noting that recommendations about diet for diabetes patients must take factors specific to each individual, including their life circumstances and preferences, into consideration.
