THEY SHALL NOT PASS
An estimated 800 people gathered on Burnaby Mountain in BC to defy an injunction ordering protesters against the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline to disburse. The RCMP eventually raided an area where the sacred fire was lit. Twenty people were arrested, including Onkwehon:we women elders. While four remain in custody, the other 16 were eventually released. The protesters plan of action is to remain on site, despite the high chance/threat of arrest. People from different age groups and nations from young students to members of the David Suzuki’s family and foundation have been arrested. PHOTO BY ANDERSON WANG PM42686517

Paris citizens concerned gravel extraction could affect Six Nations water By Jim Windle PARIS – Water quality in Paris is once again the topic of concern for some County of Brant citizens who have determined to double their efforts to protect their source water. In a media release published by the Concerned Citizens of Brant, the group says it is following up on promises made and discussions about protection of water made during the recent municipal election campaigns. They also point to requests by the Lake Erie Source Protection Committee to protect vulnerable sites on wellhead protection areas. “The CCOB have doubled their efforts to protect Paris’ source water,” says the release. “During the last three years CCOB has found scientific evidence that the planned Dufferin Aggregates Ltd. gravel extraction at the pit on Watt Ponds Road, even excluding below water table extraction, could not only affect the drinking water of Paris but also have negative effects for those who use water from the Grand River, such as Brantford and Six Nations.” The group is calling
Watts Pond in Paris is in danger due to a 40 year old permit allowing Dufferin Aggregates to mine above and below the aquifer which feeds fresh water to the area and feeds the Grand River. Submitted Photo for more consultation with the community before wholesale gravel mining begins in earnest. The CCOB will host a letter writing campaign open house to help citizens have their say and to get their voice to the proper authorities. “This Gravel Pit could have an impact on many more people than the CCOB originally projected,” says the release. “To accommodate the influx of all concerned citizens we have arranged Tuesday, Dec. 2nd and Wednesday December 3rd from 5-8 pm for signing letters at St. Paul’s United Church Auditorium in Paris.”
To accommodate those unable to attend, a petition can be downloaded at ccob.ca beginning Dec. 2nd. The CCOB group was founded early in 2012 when a notification was delivered to inform citizens that a company intended on activating a 38-year-old license to extract gravel in the wellhead protection area of Paris’ water supply. “Since that time, we have been actively pursuing the government for answers as to why a license, that is now 40 years old, is allowed to be activated after such a long dormancy when there are presently so many con-
cerns regarding drinking water safety,” according to the group’s website. “Over a year later, those questions remain largely unanswered from our elected representatives.” Research by not only the CCOB, but by many other groups that share our concerns, confirms that the aggregate industry has been deemed exempt from any such suggestion that they might impact our water. There has not been any science presented – just outdated regulations. The CCOB has found that the aggregate industry is protected from citizens and exempted from the laws that protect us at one of
the highest levels of our law: the Provincial Policy Statement. The proposed gravel pit is planned right on top of a non-renewable water supply in Paris’ wellhead protection area (within 100′ of wellheads) just as Brant County is finalizing its source water protection plan as set out by the Clean Water Act. The pit’s proponents plan on digging below the water table exposing the aquifer to the elements and may cause contamination. Nick Greenacre, a retired lecturer in environmental health at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in England and former head of the Regional Network Centre for Water and Waste Management in East Africa, is researching the effects of gravel extraction below the water table in relation to a proposed 600-acre gravel pit to be located on both sides of Watts Pond Road north of Paris. He has major concerns that 40-year-old government standards are obsolete compared to today’s more scientific methods of testing and standards. “The most common herbicide used for corn has been atrazine, (a tri-
azine herbicide), which is still in use in Ontario, often in combination with other herbicides,” writes Greenacre. “It is identified by Environment Canada as inherently toxic to humans and non-humans and in the top 100 most persistent organic pollutants. Atrazine is ranked highest of 83 pesticides in the Agriculture Canada priority scheme for potential groundwater pollution. With clear evidence of endocrine disrupting activity it has been rated as a Category 1 substance of high exposure concern by the European Union. Recent studies (2009) have documented persistence in soil and sub-soil of 22 years. Its use has been banned in Germany since 1994 and in the European Union since 2004.” The washing of the aggregate is where these and other chemicals could be released into the river or water table. Other studies have shown that above water extraction of aggregates increases Iron and Manganese in the run off water from the washing process. None of these concerns were addressed in the 40-year-old permit.

Alcohol referendum scheduled at Six Nations By Paula Hill Matt Jamieson and Nicole Kohoko from the Economic Development office made a presentation to the Six Nations Elected Council advising that information sessions will commence the week of November 11, 2014 to educate the community on the opportunity that exists for Six Nations to become majority owner of a brewery with IPA Enterprises Inc., of Waterloo. The Ohsweken waterline would be extended to accommodate this business. The brewery is proposed to be located in the Oneida Business Park at the end of Fourth Line Road. As a part of the process, the community will also be asked to consider whether they would like Six Nations Elected Council to assume responsibility for regulating alcohol sales on reserve. Jamieson advised that Kahnawake has provided their regulations pertaining to alcohol sales on reserve, and this has been used
as a reference tool for Six Nations thus far. Following the community consultation process, a referendum will be held to gather opinion on the topic. The referendum will take place on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at the Six Nations Community Hall. Community members will be allowed to participate in having their voice heard through several mediums, including attending in person at the polling station, or through the internet and by telephone. Jamieson advised that they are looking at unique new technology that would make all of these options available for those wishing to participate in the referendum. Jamieson presented some background information. He stated in his presentation and it is listed on the Alcohol Referendum portion of Six Nations Council’s website that, “Contrary to popular belief, Six Nations has not officially been deemed a
‘Dry Community.’ “Up until 1958 it was considered illegal for an “Indian” to purchase or be in possession of alcohol, on or off reserve. In 1958 the Governor in Council issued a proclamation that states that all “Indians” in Ontario could legally purchase, possess and consume alcohol in accordance with the laws of Ontario off reserve the same as any other citizen. “A Six Nations community referendum was held in 1959 to decide whether community members should be allowed to possess alcohol within the community. The decision was passed that alcohol would be permitted. “In 1988, A Six Nations Elected Council Resolution states that a Community Referendum be held on May 7, 1988 to determine whether liquor should be sold or supplied at the Six Nations Veterans Hall, Community Hall and Arena. On May 3, 1988 a Council Resolution rescinded the
Resolution to hold a Community Referendum, in a 7-6 vote, thus a Referendum was not held.” Police Chief Glenn Lickers states that currently, people who seek permits to sell alcohol for special occasions on-reserve often get conflicting messages from Caledonia, Hagersville and Brantford as to which office has authority to issue permits for our territory. He states that “it would be nice to have that clarification” as to who has authority to issue permits. “If it’s Band Council, that’s fine. At least we would know.” Chief Lickers sees this initiative as achievable if the community chooses to proceed. Anyone contravening the regulations could be charged under provincial liquor licensing laws. But he states that he has asked that Council pose this question to the Crown Attorney should there be any conflict for prosecution.

Your Voice Is Important Our Community, Our Future, Let’s Talk About It
Six Nations Alcohol Community Engagement - Week 2 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 Brewery expects to create approximately 145 jobs during this period. The creation of 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.
Own Source Revenue Considerations Own-sources revenues generated within the community means that funds can be directed towards initiatives that are a priority for Six Nations and in a way that are meaningful and reflective of community values, instead of meeting the funders priorities. This could mean establishing designated funds for ensuring appropriate levels of alcohol regulation enforcement in the community and funds designated to addictions management within the community. This may mean enhance treatment programs, education and awareness campaigns. Addictions are an issue for consideration within Six Nations, as a community we need to decide how they should be addressed and how supports should be given to those that need them. 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.

Travis Squire Hill sentenced to 8 years less time served By Paula Hill BRANTFORD - Travis Squire-Hill was sentenced to 8 years less 948 days time served, with enhanced credit granted at 1.5 days, for the December 3rd, 2012 motor vehicle accident at 4th Line Road and Tuscarora Road, on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory that took the lives of two young Six Nations people and seriously injured one young man.
The charges Squire Hill was sentenced for were: D Dangerous Driving Causing Death to Yegwenyes Martin. D Dangerous Driving Causing Death to William Harris. D Dangerous Driving Causing Bodily Harm to Adam Bain. D Fail To Remain Causing Death of Yegwenyes Martin. D Fail To Remain Causing Death of William
500 community members sign petition to keep doctor By Paula Hill OHSWEKEN - At the November 18th, 2014 General Council meeting, Six Nations Elected Council was presented with a petition of over 500 signatures of community members upset with the announced departure of Dr. Amy Montour. The presenter, Brian Hill questioned why Dr. Montour is leaving. He stated that this is the third doctor to leave the Family Health Team, a program offered under Council’s department of Health Services. Hill said that his understanding is that with Dr. Monture leaving, there will be 700 patients without a family doctor, some of them elders. The Director of Health Services, Lori Davis Hill advised that patients are encouraged first to try to find a new doctor. A priority list is being developed to decide which patients will be transferred to Dr. Shigwadja, but those not considered priority will have to apply to be a patient. Dr. Shigwadja is a half-time doctor at the Family Health Team. There is currently a wait list of over 500 people that do
not have a family doctor, and Dr. Monture’s non-priority clients will be added to that number. Councillor Carl Hill was sympathetic to Brian Hill’s cause, stating that he and his family are among the patients now left potentially without a family doctor. Ava Hill advised that Council had previously passed a resolution to have an independent evaluation conducted on this issue. She did not comment on when the evaluation would commence or when it would be completed. She said that they are at the point of “drafting terms of reference and a MOU,” for the independent evaluation. The independent evaluation has not begun, even though Dr. Monture is scheduled to leave December 1st. Hill advised that they are aware that there are “issues going on but we need to know how we can fix it.” The Senior Administrative Officer was questioned on his attempts to resolve the situation. He advised that he had spoken to Dr. Monture and she had told him that “if things change she would be willing to come back.”

Harris D Fail To Remain Causing Bodily Harm to Adam Bain. D Breach probation x2 Justice Turnball stated that Squire Hill admitted to having had 8 to 10 beers the night of the accident. He was travelling in excess of 130 km/h in an 80 km/hr speed zone. His vehicle travelled the length of a football field before coming to a stop. Squire Hill left the scene knowing or reasonably should
have known that he had caused harm and possibly killed people. By leaving the scene, he impeded the police’s ability to obtain samples that would have allowed them to determine his alcohol blood content level. At the time of his arrest he had 22 prior convictions, many of which were alcohol and/or driving related offences. Squire Hill had prepared a statement to read to the court. Members of the audience were visibly
upset by some content of the statement. Squire Hill felt that the accident was “preventable from either side of the fence” and he suggested that it is required that there should be focus on getting “ATVs off the road.” He acknowledged that it was a “sad, tragic accident.” He stated that he “has the utmost respect for the families” and that he spent “the last 2 years in an environment where you have no friends or family” and where “the
only acceptable emotion is anger.” The judge was audibly emotional as he commented on the impact drinking and driving accidents have on many communities. He added that felt that laws must be changed to indicate zero tolerance for such offences. He stated that it is very difficult to have to listen to the impact these types of offences have on families and he offered his condolences to the families.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study Rehabilitation of Highway 24 from Brant Road 5/Blue Lake Road to Glen Morris Road, County of Brant MTO Project Reference: G.W.P. 3065-11-00 THE PROJECT Stantec Consulting Ltd. is undertaking the Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO). Subject to the final outcome of the study, MTO is considering: • Pavement rehabilitation on Highway 24 for approximately 4.7 km and widening of the existing lanes to meet current MTO highway design standards; • Drainage improvements including ditching and rehabilitation/replacement of culverts; and • Minor driveway grade modifications to accommodate the pavement rehabilitation. The anticipated construction staging and traffic management plan will include single-lane staging with flagging. A temporary short duration closure (approximately two days and two nights) of McLean School Road at Highway 24 is proposed to replace the sideroad culverts east and west of Highway 24. The public is invited to attend a Public Information Centre (PIC) to review and comment on the proposed improvements to Highway 24 from Brant Road 5/Blue Lake Road to Glen Morris Road, in the County of Brant, as shown on the key plan. The PIC is planned as a drop-in style open house session that will provide attendees with the opportunity to review displays, discuss the project directly with members of the Project Team and provide comments. The PIC will be held on: Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Location: South Dumfries Community Centre 7 Gaukel Drive St. George, ON N0E 1N0 Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. THE PROCESS The project is being carried out in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) as a Group ‘B’ undertaking. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day public review period. Following the PIC, the project may be stepped down to a Group ‘C’ project if the environmental screening process indicates that there will be no significant environmental effects. If the project is stepped down, a TESR will not be published; however, a Notice of Step-Down will be issued and a 30-day public review period provided.

Premier Wynne attends and supports ONWA gathering By TRT Staff THUNDER BAY – The Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) wrapped up the 43rd Annual General Assembly on Sunday (November 23/14), which brought together over 100 delegates from all across Ontario. The theme of this year’s assembly was “Honouring the Path of Our Grandmothers”, which served to honour the lessons and leadership of our grandmothers who came before us and blazed the trail for strength and growth that ONWA now follows in the continued pursuit of ad-
vancements for Aboriginal women and their families in Ontario. In addition to the 100 Aboriginal women who attended as delegates, Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs David Zimmer, Deputy Minister of Aboriginal Affairs David de Launay, Deputy Minister of Children and Youth Services Alexander Bezzina, Minister of Northern Development and Mines Michael Gravelle, MP John Rafferty, and Paul Pugh as the Acting Mayor of Thunder Bay, also took time out of their busy schedules to attend
and provide supportive remarks to the Assembly. “This year’s assembly was not only a successful event in terms of business and resolutions, but I think it was a historic turning point for ONWA in terms of the level of support and visibility we have achieved at the provincial level,” says Dr. Dawn Harvard, ONWA President. “Having such high profile and influential politicians like Premier Wynne and Minister Zimmer make the trip to Thunder Bay just to meet our women and show their support, really goes to show how much prog-
START YOUR
ress we’ve made and instills such profound confidence in what we can accomplish in the coming years if we continue to work together.” Having Ontario’s Premier attend ONWA’s general assembly was an exciting first, as it has never before occurred in ONWA’s 43 years. Not only did Wynne and Zimmer provide opening remarks on Saturday, but they visited each region’s caucus meeting on Friday evening to personally introduce themselves to each delegate, and attended Saturday morning’s sunrise ceremony. Both Wyn-
ne and Zimmer called for more collaboration between the provincial government and Aboriginal groups, as well as supported ONWA’s call for a National Public Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women during their addresses. Erin Corston was blown away by the level of support that ONWA received at the AGA, which was the first one for her in her role as ONWA’s Executive Director. “It’s extremely encouraging for provincial leaders show their support the way they did this weekend. They clearly recognize
NEW YEAR’S
the hard work and commitment of ONWA and its local membership,” she says. “We are witnessing a shift within government, and new unprecedented opportunities to create systems change.” The delegation passed a number of resolutions over the weekend, with the majority focusing on three priority areas: ending violence against Aboriginal women, child and family services, and environmental protection. The resolutions that were passed will set the tone for ONWA going forward in 2015.

In Solidarity From the beginnings of our story, the Two Row Times has been an incredible cast of characters. Internally we like to jokingly refer to ourselves as a ‘merry band of rapscallions’ on a common quest to better the relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous people who find themselves living on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaune people. We’ve got a passionate team of visionary leadership in Jonathan and Nahnda Garlow – setting the course of our journey. Our editorial team consistently brings the ice and fire necessary to articulate indigenous issues to the indigenous reader and build bridges of understanding for the non-indigenous reader as well. Both teams are supported by a body of Administrators, Artists, Sales Leaders and Distributors who tirelessly put forth effort to fuel the journey. And last, but definitely not least, is the reader – our faithful friends who keep picking up the paper week by week and permitting us to present indigenous stories from an indigenous-led perspective. Reporting news, telling stories and informing the public is not easy business – especially given the complicated political lines drawn in the common sand across the Six Nations territory. Consistently our ‘merry band of rapscallions’ have to come back to the
TWO ROW TIMES
original agreement of why we started making a newspaper in the first place – that is spreading the message of the Two Row Wampum and the concepts of love and brotherhood that founded this adventure. From time to time we even partake in an internal ‘polishing of the covenant chain’. That is, we consistently revisit the relationship between native and non-native minds that work to bring you the Two Row Times every week. We do this for two reasons; to tweak what doesn’t work, and to remind ourselves that in the face of deadlines and a greater Canadian society that all too often sweeps indigenous news off into the margin – that what we are doing matters. It matters to our readers, and it matters to us. The TRT is founded on the principles that the Haudenosaune people are a distinct society with a rich history that extends far past colonization, that the Haudenosaune people are not subjegated citizens of the nation-state of Canada but rather a politically sophisticated society that had governance in place before democracy was ever a ‘thing’, and that those protocols are in place for the Haudenosaune people to trace back and follow should they be led to do so. For the Haudenosaune, for our allies, and for the coming faces – we stand in solidarity.

The people`s wampum forever growing By Rhonda Martin We the people of this great creation have always been the ‘story tellers’. We are Onkwehonwe – the Real People. We share the knowledge that our ancestors have always given to us. Our ancestors tell us to always remember what is being said. To keep our ears open and to speak the truth. We are the oral tradition of our ancestral voices. We cannot lose those stories. They explain who we are and who we’re meant to be. We need to remember that we have been given roles and responsibilities as men, women, children and elders. The men are the protectors and the providers. They are the uncles to other young men. They are to help these young men to become men. The women are the disciplinarians, the teachers, the gatherers, and they help the young women become a woman. The women are given a great gift and that is to be the life givers. They bear the future generations and with that they carry the voice. The children are also given roles and responsibilities. They must help with the siblings, and do chores within the home and help with the elderly. They must always listen to what is being said to them. The elders also have a great duty. They share and pass on all what has been said to them by their elders. They of all the generations know what is to be said and done for they have been

With the invasion came genocide, assimilation, disease and sickness, residential schools, CAS, hangings and the rulings of a white man’s government. The people were forced off their lands or left to starve and die. Our native language was not to be spoken and our ceremonies were seen as witchcraft. Our children were taken from
to die with them that is why they tell them. They tell us these great stories so that when we pass them onto our children, our children will always know who they are. It is true that our past generations have suffered a great damage to the lives of which they once lived. Where once our people hunted, fished, gathered and celebrated the land was damaged by the white man’s invasion. It is a known fact that our lands were raped of our trees and our waters became spoiled. What was once hunted and used for food and the hides for warmth became a trophy for the white man.
us to live a life that had no value to them. Our men and women went missing or were murdered. The people encountered many atrocities to their way of life and it will take years to find our way back to the natural way of life that had been given to us. It is has always been known that we as a strong people know how to survive. For we are here today. We have our stories, we have the knowledge to pass on, we have our ceremonies and we have each other. All has not been lost. We are all learning to stand back up and fight for what we have left.
They cannot take from us any longer. Our children will remain in our homes, our ceremonies will stay in the longhouse, our elders will be taken care of and respected, our people will find their way back to their families and traditions will learn to do away with life on the streets, our men and women will maintain their roles and responsibilities and our voices will be heard. Now we the people have been put to the test – a test of true sovereignty whereby we Onkwehonwe use the Kayanyere’kowa as our governing constitution along with Tekeni Tsyohate which our ancestors brought to us. That means that we must bring the original 49 families together and unite the nations and clans. To do this, we need the people – men, women, children and elders to fulfil their responsibilities and honor their original instructions. We are calling upon and inviting all surrounding nations from all territories to gather and share your knowledge. Come sit with us and tell your stories. Here on Six Nations two gatherings have taken place at The Barn on Chiefswood Rd. We have asked the Oneida nation to host the next gathering and they have accepted. We invite all nations and territories on Dec 6th to gather with us to Oneida, ON. If more information is needed as to time and place feel free to text 519-754-5733 or email otayohni67@ yahoo.com or check on Facebook for the event.

OP-ED
Six Nations and Canadian alcohol regulation By Helen Miller After reading the story “Referendum on alcohol coming to Six Nations Nov. 19, 2014,” I am compelled to share my research. The most recent decision Council made on alcohol was in 2005 when a resolution was passed giving the Six Nations Veteran’s Association permission to serve and sell alcohol in the Community Hall at their Remembrance Day luncheon. Prior to that Council passed a resolution in 2004 that there was to be no alcohol sold or otherwise in band-owned buildings. The only section of the current Indian Act that mentions alcohol is Section 85.1 (By-laws relating to intoxicants.) Council can make by-laws “prohibiting” the sale, barter, supply or manufacture of intoxicants on the reserve. The sections of the Indian Act (91-100) that dealt specifically with the sale, manufacture and distribution of alcohol was repealed in 1985. However, Six Nations never had a Community Referendum back
then to support or not support the sale, manufacture and distribution of alcohol on the reserve. At present, Six Nations does not have liquor laws to regulate and monitor the selling, manufacturing and distribution of alcohol, other than Section 88 of the Indian Act (General provincial laws applicable to Indians). This section states that in the absence of our own laws, regulations etc., Provincial laws will apply on reserve. There are people in the community who do get a Provincial liquor license when holding an event. In 1992, it’s noted in records that Police Chief Glenn Lickers was to assist Council in drafting a Liquor By-law which was to provide control of the intoxicants, substances, solvents, prevention of disorderly conduct and nuisance associated with public parties. Documentation does support Bylaw No. 1-1992 was developed. However, there is no record of this By-law. The closest Six Nations came to having a referendum on the sale, manufacture and distri-
bution of alcohol on the reserve was in 1988 when a number of residents and fundraising groups wanted to sell or supply liquor at the Six Nations Veteran’s Association property, the Ohsweken Community Hall and the Six Nations Arena. At that time a Council resolution was passed to hold a Community Referendum on Sat. May 7, 1988 to determine whether liquor can be sold or supplied at the aforementioned places in accordance with the Ontario’s Liquor Licence Act. Unfortunately, the Community Referendum never happened. On May 3, 1988 a resolution was tabled to rescind the May 7, 1988 resolution supporting a Community Referendum. The vote was a tie vote so Chief William Montour had to cast the tie-breaking vote and he voted “No.” In cancelling the Community Referendum, some people who supported the sale of alcohol accused Council of infringing upon their rights. They believed that by rescinding the resolution Council took away
their right to vote on the issue. A resolution was also passed that Council concur with the wishes of the community that the question of the sale of liquor on Six Nations not be put forward again. In 1985, Council passed a resolution that requested Minister of Indian Affairs pursuant to section 4 (2) of the Indian Act to petition the Governor-in-Council to declare by Proclamation that section 94 of the Indian Act no longer apply to those lands owned by the Six Nations Veteran’s Association in the village of Ohsweken and that the Ontario Liquor License Act be in force with respect to the said lands. On May 5, 1985 Council rescinded the above-mentioned resolution. There is no denying some people in our community sell alcohol at Buck & Does or fundraising events. Some people opened bar-like facilities that have since been shut down by the Six Nations Police. Others have buildings that are rented to individuals, organizations or sports teams. We have card clubs in the mix as
well. Currently, the Six Nations Economic Development is working in partnership with IPA Enterprises to open a brewery at Oneida Business Park. The staff developed a multi-level community engagement process that is intended to reach and get input from as many people as possible within a two month timeframe. The process will determine if the community would support the development of Six Nations liquor laws and the brewery. The end result will be a Community Referendum. On May 2, 1959, Council did have a Community Referendum to bring into force section 96 (a) of the Indian Act as per regulation. The wording on the ballot had to be according to the Indian Act Referendum Regulations: Are you in favor of a Proclamation being issued by the Governor-in-Council declaring that it “shall not be an offence for a person to have intoxicants in his possession on the Six Nations Indian Reserve” if such possession is in ac-
cordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario? The results of that Community Referendum were: Number of electors entitled to vote: 3985; Number of electors who voted: 278; Number of votes cast in favor: 211; Number of votes cast against: 65. So this meant Six Nations members could “possess” alcohol on reserve. So the electors did support Provincial liquor laws applying on reserve. In 1958 all Indians in Ontario could legally purchase, possess, and consume alcohol in accordance with the laws of Ontario as long as they were bought off reserve. Aside from Six Nations not having its own liquor laws, we don’t have a viable community decision-making process, what with consensus an impossibility these days with Six Nations people scattered all over the world. Unfortunately for those people who don’t support a Community Referendum, it’s the only way we can get a fair representation of the people.

Soar above the storm like an eagle By Nahnda Garlow This weekend as I was daydreaming and looking out my window the sunny skies suddenly began to change and a huge storm rolled in. Black clouds swiftly covered the skies and in a matter of only a few minutes strong winds were tossing things about. As I sat and watched the fleets of trash and debris pass me by something beautiful caught my eye. I looked up and just above the garbage flying about was a huge flock of gulls surfing the winds. The winds were so
strong that the gulls didn’t even have to flap their wings. At first I thought to myself ‘Oh no! They’re going to be tossed and blown away.’ But as I watched them longer I began to notice that they were making no efforts to flee from the storm. Rather they pressed in, facing the winds head on and riding the waves as they blew across the territory. It truly looked as if they were enjoying the ride. I looked longer and noticed that as the winds would die down the gulls would fly themselves as close together as they could get. When the winds
picked back up again they pressed out their wings in unison as strong as possible and began to ride out the storm together – facing the winds of opposition as a team. It was poetic and beautiful and my heart was brimming over with love for these ugly little gulls blowing about the wind. Here they were; a herd of scavengers just struggling to survive out there. It was awesome. “Look at those gulls!” I cried out to my husband. “It’s so beautiful.” I said, totally reveling in the parable that was exploding before my eyes. “They’re probably
NOVEMBER 26TH, 2014
not having a good time at all,” he retorted back at me. “It looks more like they are just struggling to survive out there.” Funny how two people can see the exact same thing and have dramatically different interpretations. Sometimes I feel like a gull – all wind tossed and blown about in the storm. When I’m feeling down like that if I’m not careful – shame tries to creep in and if it’s successful I’ll turtle up and hide out in isolation, separating myself from everyone. The first few storms I endured I ended up sliding down a shame spiral of condemnation. I saw myself as a bad mom – nothing more than a scavenging bottom dwelling gull just struggling to survive. I ended up all wind tossed and blown into the deep dark pit of self-loathing and it took me forever to climb out of
there. Now that I’ve weathered a few storms though, I’ve learned that gulls got nothing to be ashamed of. Now when the storms creep in I have learned that binding together with all the other gulls out there just struggling to survive can make weathering the storm an adventure. Instead of being powerless all wind tossed and blown – we press down our little wings as hard as we can and fly face first into the storm and allow it lift us
effortlessly higher all the while enjoying the ride. I’ve also learned that the harder the winds blow, the higher we can crest. Even though on the outside I may just be a gull I know that the harder the winds of opposition gust against me the broader I should spread my wings. Because I have learned that the harder they blast against me, the quicker I rise through the clouds to soar above the storm with wings like an eagle.

Canada’s biggest union supports missing and murdered Indigenous women By Jim Windle TORONTO – Jerry Dias, the president of Unifor, Canada’s largest union, came out swinging at the Ontario Regional Convention last weekend in Toronto, throwing the weight of Canada’s largest union against Ontario’s proposed healthcare cuts, but in support of Aboriginal Rights and the call for an inquiry into the 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women across Canada. The conference was opened by Onkwehon:we union member Candace Lavalley conducting a traditional smudging ceremony for the delegates. Among the topics covered by Unifor was a list of recommendations on violence against women and missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls. “I recommend that Unifor Ontario Council continue to support the struggle to stop violence against women in all its forms by supporting fur-
Unifor National President Jerry Dias. ther calls for action on violence against Aboriginal women and girls by joining the Native Women’s Association of Canada in its demands for a national inquiry into the missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls, and that Aboriginal women are included in the design, decision-making process and
implementation of this inquiry,” said Unifor Ontario Regional Chair, Dino Chiodo. “The number of missing and murdered Aboriginal girls and women in Canada continues to grow to the point where it can be called an epidemic..” he added. The Union came out
in support of “Shine the Light on Woman Abuse” as well as “Light the Night Against Violence” campaigns. Both campaigns call for peaceful demonstrations in communities across Canada with the aim of raising awareness around gender-based violence. Women are dying at the hands of men but they are also dying at the hands of governments that have systematically underfunded women’s shelters, second stage housing and emergency shelters, virtually eliminating affordable housing, drastically slashed social assistance and unemployment insurance, denied meaningful Aboriginal self-governance and funding cuts for Native services and housing. National President Dias brought the 600 delegates to their feet with loud cheers of approval when, as a part of his speech, he publicly told ultra-rightwing columnist and TV personality Michael Coren, to “kiss
Susan Aglukark
my union ass.” The response came in response to Coren recently naming Dias “one of the five most dangerous people in the country” on his weekly TV show. In Coren’s worldview, unionism is a blight to the Canadian economy as he believes Unifor to be the worst of the worst, being the largest national union representing more than 300,000 members Canada-wide. On Saturday, the gathering left the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto for a march on Queens Park against Premier Kathleen Wynne’s announced healthcare cutbacks and a plan to privatize Ontario’s health care services. The union flexed its muscle, calling for Unifor activists to work with other allied unions across Canada and around the world to advocate and campaign for a just and balanced world trade system that would seek to reverse the trend of corporate-rights agree-
ments at the cost of human rights and workers rights, based on principles of democracy, justice and sustainability. The union also doubled its efforts in opposing the Harper Conservatives’ proposed free trade agreements with Europe, Korea, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Foreign Investment Protection Agreement with China. Looking forward to the upcoming 2015 federal election, there was much discussion towards how to stop Harper at the polls by organizing a new Ontario Political Action standing committee. Also on the table was a strategy to fight against the Harper government’s union-busting legislations through lobbying for labour reform. This would include a plan to address employment standards for all Ontario workers, including temporary and part-time workers.

Six Nations well represented at Hall of Recognition By Jim Windle BRANTFORD — The new and interactive Brantford and Area Sports Hall of Recognition was officially reopened last Saturday at the Wayne Gretzky Sports with pomp and fanfare, and rightfully so. The newly designed Hall proclaims to thousands of visitors every year the sports accomplishments of people who called Brantford, Brant and Six Nations home. Along with memorabilia of the most obvious area resident inducted,
the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, are dozens of others who made it to the echelon of sports achievement. Six Nations is well represented as well with inductees Gaylord Powless, Ross Powless, Bill Isaacs, Jay “Tonto” Silverheels, Emos Williams, Roger Smith, Tom Longboat, Stan Jonathan, Bev Beaver, the 1971 Brantford Warriors, 1992 Minto Cup Six Nations Arrows, the 1994, 1995, 1996 Mann Cup Champion Six Nations Chiefs, the Minto Cup 2007 Arrows,
and others. Several past Hall inductees mingled with guests and media and all were obviously proud of being a part of such a collection of stars. Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill congratulated the City on behalf of the Six Nations athletes honoured. “The Hall of Recognition will be a fitting place to showcase the immense talents of our athletes, teams and builders,” she said. “The City of Brantford, the County of Brant and the Six Nations of Among the interesting memorabilia on display is Bill Isaccs` Rochester Iroquois lacrosse jersey from the New York State Athletic League of the mid-1930`s; Gaylord Powless` National Lacrosse League All-Star pocket watch given him in 1974; Ross Powless` stick from the 1950`s, made by the legendary stick maker, Enos Williams, and other interesting pieces of Six Nations sports history.

Thousands of visitors to the area will visit the newly reopened Brantford and Area Sports Hall of Recognition every year as Brantford, Brant and Six Nations` outstanding athletes are celebrated and honoured.

the Grand River Territory have a rich history of athleticism. Many of our athletes have competed on the world stage and we are honoured that they are being included in the Hall of Recognition.” The idea of creating the Hall began in 1982 and after two years of collecting memorabilia and gathering potential inductees, the first temporary Hall of Recognition was opened June 29th, 1984 with Wayne Gretzky on hand to cut the rib-
bon. The first renovation was in 1991. At that time the temporary display was made permanent until 2010 when major renovations and pretty well an entire rebuild of the Gretzky Centre began. In its 13th year, the Brantford and Area Sports Hall of Recognition now boasts 89 inductee members plus 36 individuals and 32 teams added to its honour roll.

Hag-Hawks starting to fly By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – Between the Hagersville Hawks’ solid two-way performance, led by Six Nations’ Mitch Green, solid goaltending from Curtis Dortenzio and an all-out bad outing by the Simcoe Storm, the Hawks cruised to a 10-2 victory. It was a fine follow up to their 7-3 win last Tuesday night, Nov. 18, over the Port Dover Sailors at the Hagersville Arena. The Hag-Hawks are now 11-8-1-0 and tied for second place heading into Tuesday night’s clash with the Dunnville Mudcats, in Hagersville. The game will miss our print deadline. Thursday night they travel to Dundas to take on the second place Blues. Sunday, Jacob Soloman took advantage of a Simcoe penalty at 6:22 to open the scoring with a powerplay goal assisted by Nick Sherwood and Derek Friesen. Green put the first notch on his stick at 7:40 from Brett Dykstra and Kyle Phibbs to made it 2-0. Corson Searles scored for the Storm before Green added his second of the period at 12:09. The story of the second period was a closer contest, but was beginning to boil over and when Dortenzio was run over by McKinnon at 19:16, Sim-
coe’s Nathan McKinnon and Hagersville’s Clayton Millard did battle. Soloman scored the lone goal of the second period to make it a 4-1 game heading into the third. Searles scored his second of the game for Simcoe on a powerplay with Mitch Green serving a leftover second period tripping call. But while the Storm seemed more interested in anything other than hockey in a very rough third period, the Hawks began filling the Simcoe net with six unanswered goals, three of them on powerplays. Soloman, Cole Martin, Brett Dykstra, Nick Sherwood, Derek Friesen and Jake Richards all added goals to humiliate the Storm 10-2. Last Tuesday, Nov. 18, the Hawks dominated as well over the Port Dover Sailors with a 7-3 win. The score was flattering for the Sailors, who were outshot 52-31. Two late Port Dover goals when the game was well out of reach, saved some face for Dover. Earning goals for the Hagersville squad were Dylan Spurr, Jake MacDougall, Jacob Brown, Mitch Green, Derek Friesen, Dan Mederios and Matt Rimac. For Dover were Michael Almas, Michael Boateng and Colin Streutker.

NOTICE OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT SUBMISSION Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Highway 401 Reconstruction and Widening City of Cambridge and City of Kitchener, Region of Waterloo MTO Project Reference 4-00-00 THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Parsons to undertake the Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study for the reconstruction and widening of Highway 401, from 0.5 km west of Regional Road 8/King Street easterly to Regional Road 24/Hespeler Road, as shown on the key plan. The MTO is also taking the opportunity to rehabilitate the bridge at Highway 8 and Sportsworld Drive. The approved plan includes: • Widening the highway from six to ten lanes including High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, bus bypass shoulders and speed change lanes (on/off ramps); • Replacing and widening the Speed River Bridges; • Rehabilitating and widening the CN Rail and GRER rail crossing structures; • Rehabilitating the bridge at Sportsworld Drive; • Installing High Mast Illumination and Overhead Signs; • Constructing retaining walls; • Constructing a noise wall; and • Improving drainage and upgrading roadside safety measures. The Highway 401 improvements will take place over four years. During construction, three lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction during peak periods. Some components of work will be completed at night when traffic volumes are lower. This may include lane closures and lane reductions. Interchange ramps at Highway 8 and Hespeler Road will be maintained to the greatest extent possible. Short-term closures may be required. Short-term disruptions may be experienced during the realignment of Leisure Lodge/Rogers Drive. The Mill Run multi-use Trail will be closed at the Speed River Bridges for up to three years during construction. The City of Cambridge continues to review options for a suitable alternative. THE PROCESS The project is following the process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) documenting preliminary design was prepared in 2006 and Environmental clearance was issued in October 2008. A Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been completed and will be available for a 30-day public review period from Monday, November 24, 2014 to Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Interested persons are encouraged to provide comments by December 23, 2014. The DCR documents the development of the approved preliminary design alternative to the implementation level of detail. Upon completion of the 30-day review period, this project may proceed to construction.

Pro-fit Corvairs on top after weekend games By Jim Windle The Ancaster Avalanche did the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs a favour by defeating the Welland Canadians Sunday in GOJHL Jr. B hockey action. It left the Canadians and the Corvairs tied for the top spot, but with Caledonia holding three games in hand. Despite outshooting the visiting Thorold Blackhawks 54-15, Saturday night in Caledonia, the Pro-Fit Corvairs had to fight hard for the 3-2 shootout win at the Haldimand Centre Arena. Josh Astorino was outstanding in the Thorold net, but that can’t be said for Brendan Polasek in the Corvairs net, who did not have a particularly great outing against only 15 shots. Penalties prevented the Corvairs from gaining any traction in the first period as Anthony Postiglione scored on a Thorold powerplay at 14:47 with Jake Brown serving time for cross checking. The period ended with the Corvairs all over the
Hawks, outshooting them by a 13-3 margin, but the Blackhawks lead 1-0. Cosimo Fontana made it a new game at 14:46 of the second period from Austin McEneny in a period where Astorino turned aside 16 Caledonia shots compared to the four shots on Polasek at the other end. Thorold’s Matt Ceko put the Blackhawks ahead at 2:57 of the third period, from Adam Koziowski before Jake Brown tied it at 2-2 at 11:55 from McEneny and Matthew Hore. Once again, as he had throughout the game, Astorino was sensational holding the Corvairs off to force the overtime period. Nothing was decided in the extra frame, so it was on to the shootout where Fantino played the hero to seek out the 3-2 shootout win. Shots on goal in the third period were 16-5 in Caledonia’s favour. This week’s action includes three road games, the first to St. Catharines, Tuesday night, Nov. 25th to take on the third place
It certainly wasn't for a lack of trying that the Caledonia Corvairs were forced to a shootout win, Saturday night in Caledonia. Number 91 Matthew Hore and his Corvairs outshot the Thorold Blackhawks by an astounding 54-15 as Thorold's goaltender Josh Astorino was busy keeping his team in the game. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Blast power past Whitby 7-4 By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – The Whitby Dunlops looked flat right from the opening face-off Friday night at the Brantford Civic Centre as the ACH Sr AAA Blast reined in a 7-4 win. The victory moved the Blast into a second place tie with the Dunnies; however, Brantford holds a game in
advantage. While many of the fans were still finding their seats, Derek Medeiros gave the Blast a 1-0 lead 17 seconds after the opening face-off. Jeff Caister made it 2-0 at 13:04, but Whitby goaltender Jason Guy kept his team from being blown out in the first period with several fine saves as the Blast peppered him with
16 shots in the first 20 minutes. The Dunlops had a much better second period and outshot Brantford 14-10 with each team trading late period goals. Brett McConnachie made it 2-1 at 17:16, which Medeiros answered at 18:13 from Joel Prpic and Brandon Dietrich.
There was lots of scoring in the third, starting with Prpic’s second of the night at 3:04. Whitby ran a quick string of three goals between 10:09 and 11:53 to make it 4-4. Prpic halted the Dunlops advance with his second of the night. Cam Sault scored an insurance goal from Jamie Williams at
14:09 before Prpic netted a powerplay goal for this hat trick, with 37 seconds left. Prpic and Medeiros combined for 5 goals and 4 assists to power the Blast, and Anthony Marshall recorded the win in the Brantford goal, stopping 29 of 33 shots. Since joining the Blast four games ago, Medeiros
has amassed 6 goals and 6 assists for 12 points, while Prpic has 3 goals and 4 assists since returning to the Blast lineup three games ago. The Blast see action next Friday, Nov. 22, when the Real McCoys of Dundas are back at the Civic Centre for a 7:30 start.

Mass arrests as protestors try to stop Burnaby Mountain pipeline By Mari Reeve BURNABY – An area on Burnaby Mountain is being occupied by Onkwehon:we people, residents of Burnaby and the lower mainland, and other allies in response to the pipeline expansion project proposed by Kinder Morgan, the third largest energy company in North America. KM began surveying earlier in the week to prepare for geological testing. The company intends to construct a tunnel through the west side of Burnaby Mountain, as well as setting up a helicopter landing pad atop the mountain. The city of Burnaby opposes the pipeline project for many reasons; the intrusivity of tunnelling through a mountain, little to no short or long term economic benefits and the irreversible effects a pipeline spill would have on the
environment and health of all living creatures in the area. Caretakers of the land have been occupying the space since September to ensure KM’s employees did not begin any kind of work. Allyship between settlers and the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam First Nations began building as KM’s threat to the land intensified. The area has since been occupied 24 hours a day by Onkwehon:we and non-Onkwehon:we people seeking to stop construction. Most recently, Coast Salish elders set up a sacred fire to support the actions in defense of the land. On Monday, November 17, some 800 people gathered to defy a 4 p.m. injunction which ordered protesters to disperse. Police backed down and people remained. The next
day, the RCMP raided an area where the sacred fire was lit and many protesters were gathered. 20 people were arrested, including older Onkwehonk:we women. While four remain in custody, the other 16 were eventually released. On Friday and Saturday there were an estimated 20 people arrested daily, and a total of 100 protesters on scene. Currently, the plan of action is to remain on site, despite the high chance/ threat of arrest. It is ex-
pected some 20 protesters may be arrested daily, but regardless others will continue to watch over the area. People from different age groups and nations have been removed by RCMP, from young students to members of the David Suzuki’s family and foundation. As happens to be the case in many disputes, back and forth federal and municipal legal battles ensued before the injunction was issued. The city of Burnaby initially rejected
Kinder Morgan’s request for a work permit. KM then contacted the National Energy Board (NEB), arguing that they have a corporate right to access the city of Burnaby public lands. According to federal legislation, the NEB concluded that KM has a right to occupy, conduct surveys and perform tests on Crown and private lands that lie in the proposed pipeline route. In response to the NEB’s ruling, the city of Burnaby filed a constitutional challenge because the intended route would violate city bylaws. The NEB did not deny or assert the challenge, but only presented an interpretation of the NEB Act’s section 73a. The city of Burnaby is maintaining the primacy of their bylaws and is still trying to keep KM out of the parkland and Brunette Conservation Area. Media liaison Karl Perrin had
this to say: “The strength is building, we are getting support from the BC coast, and even some from the Gulf Islands.” A call out for support has been ringing for the last three weeks. With intimidation tactics such as recent arrests and workers surveying during late hours via flood lights, it is clear KM intends to demonstrate its power. This leaves many with uneasy feelings about the way in which federal powers are being used to demolish municipal legislation that directly reflects the input of citizens. The protest is raising questions about the reality of Canada’s democracy and who the RCMP are really working for – the citizens that ultimately finance their paychecks, or giant oil companies like Kinder Morgan.

Dwayne Laforme wows a crowd with his down home style and rocker boy good looks. He is the front man of the Boogie Blues Band. You can listen to the Boogie Blues at the Liquid Lounge on December 20th. Laforme will also be supporting the Joel Johnson Band in their quest for international recognition in January 2015. D PHOTOGRA-
PHY, NAOMI DENNIS
Dwayne Laforme`s got the blues - and it`s contagious By Paula Hill Dwayne Laforme will be joining the Joel Johnson Band in their efforts to win the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee in late January 2015, but he also has his own established band named the Boogie Blues, an album and 15 years of experience onstage playing rhythm, lead guitar and singing lead vocals. He prides himself on being able to do all three things equally well. The Boogie Blues band consists of Laforme, Mike Fitzpatrick (drums), Dennis Rondeau (bass), Allister Robertson (saxophone), Mike Doyle (keyboard) and Wayne Shaky Deganais (alternate on keyboard). Laforme’s stage presence is certainly noticed, with his long curly hair, cool blues attire and the type of passionate guitar playing that motivates dancers to let loose and have some fun. His voice has a husky, raspy sound that enables him to both croon and inspire. But underneath all of that is a man who can admit that he has had to struggle
with a lack of confidence along the way and he offers words of encouragement to others that feel the same way. Laforme is the son of Velma Laforme and Woody (Sherwood) Porter. He has family ties to both Six Nations and New Credit communities. His musical interest was first inspired by his older brother, who used to play blues shuffle on the guitar. Laforme would watch him, intrigued for hours. His father noticed this and bought him a guitar. Laforme is selftaught, with the help of 2 friends, Kevin Hess, who taught him 3 guitar chords and how to strum, while his friend Herb “Spike” Garlow gave him direction on lead guitar. Laforme taught himself to sing by singing along to Murray Porter’s 1492. Laforme says that he remembers singing that, over and over, and that his mother watched his love for music and thought that he would become a dancer. It is this passion for music that Laforme credits for his success today. “For some guys, music is technical,” he says. “For
me, it’s about feel.” Laforme’s guitar heroes are BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins and Buddy Guy. In his recollection of his first on-stage performance, which was at the Dog Water Grill, Laforme said, “It was not a gig with players at my level. These were all established players. It was nerve-racking. But a good nervous. It was exciting.” He chuckles recalling that he could only sing three songs at that time. He would keep his head down while on stage, too shy to engage with the audience. But the crowd and the owner liked what they heard, and they gave him a job in their house band, where he was lovingly referred to as “the Kid” because he was the youngest guy in the band. Over the years, Laforme has worked on his confidence to enable him to pursue his passion in music. It was a necessity and he realized that early on. “Being a front man did not come natural to me,” he says. Laforme’s advice to people is, “Do it sober. It takes a lot of hard work but just go through the

frustrations and you will get through it. If you’re going to do it, do it straight.” Laforme has achieved many of his career goals, including playing with most of the Downschild band members over the years. He was not happy with his first album, I’m Down With the Blues (2000), so he does not promote it. But he is working on new originals and another album is on the horizon. His songs are about life, love and relationships. For him, the most emotional song that he has ever written was “Jean’s Song.” Laforme says that his friend Jean asked him to write a song for her, two weeks before she passed away. He was not sure if she was a fan of the blues. He tried to make the song a mixture of Barry White and the Allman Brothers. Before the song was even finished, his friend Jean commenced on her journey to the spirit world. Laforme says that he does sing this song onstage, but he gets choked up. Dwayne Laforme and the Boogie Blues band will make a guest appearance December 20th,
New Credit Bluesman Dwayne LaForme. 2014 at the Liquid Lounge in Brantford for Laforme’s annual Christmas/ Birthday Bash. This event is open to the public. In addition, all fundraising efforts made by the Joel
Johnson Band in their efforts to attend the International Blues Challenge will also benefit Laforme’s participation in the event.

Truth, reconciliation and complicity By Sheila Staats Up Ghost River: A Chief’s Journey through the Turbulent Waters of Native History was a 2014 shortlist nominee for the Governor General’s Literary Awards. This non-fiction book is the powerful and moving memoir from Cree residential school survivor, activist, educator, and writer Edmund Metatawabin. Former Chief of Fort Albany First Nation, Ed Metatawabin presents his compelling account of the experiences endured
at the notorious St. Anne residential school, his efforts to expose the wrong doings of St. Anne’s, culminating in a recent court case demanding that the school records be released to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. After seeking traditional Cree healing, Metatawabin works to help the next generation of residential school survivors. His story is part of the Indigenous resurgence that is happening across this country and
worldwide: after years of oppression, he and others are healing themselves by rediscovering their cultures and sharing their knowledge. This narrative bears witness to the devastation brought by colonization and the subsequent healing power of our Elders and our land to revitalize the human spirit. This book is a must-read for all Canadians. Highly recommended. The 2014 Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction is The Back of the Turtle by Thomas
King. This title is Thomas King’s first literary novel in 15 years and follows on the success of the award-winning and bestselling novels (Medicine River and Green Grass, Running Water) and non-fiction (The Inconvenient Indian, and The Truth about Stories). In The Back of the Turtle, Gabriel returns to Smoke River, the reserve where his mother grew up and to which she returned with Gabriel’s sis-
ter.
The reserve is deserted after an environmental disaster killed the population, including Gabriel’s family, and all wildlife. Gabriel, a brilliant scientist working for DowSanto, created GreenSweep, and indirectly contributed to the crisis. Now he has come to see the damage and to kill himself in the sea. But as he prepares to let the water take him,
he sees a young girl in the waves. Plunging in, he saves her, and soon is saving others. Who are these people with their long black hair and almond eyes who have fallen from the sky? Filled with brilliant characters, trademark wit, wordplay and a thorough knowledge of Indigenous storytelling, this novel is a masterpiece by an important writer.

Diabetes is no stranger to modern, Indigenous communities. However, despite its prevalence, this diagnosis is still shrouded in myths. At De dwa da dehs nye>s, it is our approach to marry knowledge and experience as the best way to educate our community. We do this with the hope that this approach will change the trajectory of a diabetes epidemic, one person at a time. It is our belief that by supporting an individual through their personal health practices, instilling confidence and inspiring action, that change can happen. Through our program development, it is our intention to nurture the success of our community members who live with diabetes, their families, and the multitudes that hang in the
balance of risk. As an example, we offer an adult education course that provides clinical knowledge in a way that makes sense for all people that walk through our doors. As part of a new approach to community programming at De dwa da dehs nye>s, health promotion and the diabetes team have joined together to develop different way of empowering our clients to learn more, manage better, and in some cases, prevent diabetes altogether. Both programs share a common objective: to teach individuals how to be meaningful partners in their own health care, and to be healthy within their experience, by living in the now while respecting the past. Our newly developed and launched diabetes education course is what we call “The Essential Course” for People living with Diabetes, their fam-

Our learning environment is one that focuses on open discussion and shared experiences. As part of the journey, there is an opportunity for participants to reflect on their beliefs, coping and decision-making styles. The learning environment allows opportunity for: 1) Getting the facts and building on what you know; 2) Learning what is new; using it to your best advantage; 3) Knowing your risk, managing your risk, making good decisions; 4) Asking questions; sharing wisdom and;

Save the Skin By Joe Farrell
Keeping the skin on the squash was, until recently, something I never, ever did. Preparing squash without peeling did not occur to me until I helped prepare a three sisters soup in late August of this year. Since then, I have been experimenting with different squashes and how keeping their skin on affects the different dishes I’ve been serving. There have been a few occasions when people close to me were nervous about serving squash with the skin on. They’d say things like, “I know keeping the skin on is good for you and all, but will folks want to eat it that way?” On each occasion where I’ve served bright orange squash with deep green skin, such as Sweet Mama or
Buttercup squash, there has been a positive response from the diners. Keeping the skin on also ensures minimal nutrients are lost and their benefits are passed on to you, much like when consuming potatoes this way. The skin is also a source of insoluble fibre, due to it being composed of cellulose that our bodies don’t have the enzymes to break down. Out of the common squash found in markets and grocery stores, the only one I typically still peel is butternut squash. When it is young it is tender but becomes thicker and tougher as it grows and especially after a frost. Every variety is going to be slightly different in taste and texture. The worst that can happen is it will be a bit chewy when eating and may add
TWO ROW TIMES
a slight bitterness to your end product. Recently, I’ve also been kindly asked for more soup recipes from many Six Nations community members. Most of the soups I make this time of year include squash as they are seasonal, locally abundant and delicious. This week’s recipe is for my friends at Meals on Wheels. Thank you for the delicious stew and scone you fed me at last week’s wild game dinner hosted in the Community Hall.
Bean Soup with Chicken and Squash I’ve served a couple variations of this soup in recent weeks. Use the beans and flavouring as a base for endless variations. Use any kind of beans you like.

Heaslip Ford has rich history in the automotive industry reaching back to 1910 when Henry Ford himself paid a visit to Hagersville.
Heaslip Ford: Over 100 years in service By Nahnda Garlow In all of Southern Ontario there is arguably no other car dealership that carries as rich a history as Heaslip Ford in Hagersville. “If we go back in history, a Ford franchise was first granted in Hagersville in 1910,” said Vice President and General Manager Rob Phillips. “As the story goes Henry Ford was traveling through from Dearborn to Oakville on a train and the train broke down in Hagersville. So while they were fixing the train Henry Ford walked down King Street and (this was prior to Heaslip’s owning it) Mr. Head had a bicycle shop. Well Henry Ford loved bicycles, so he wandered in, was chatting with Mr. Head and before he left Mr. Head was a Ford dealer. That was October of 1910.” The Head Brothers moved their Ford dealership to the current location in the 1920‘s and unfortunately it burned
down in 1948. They rebuilt and in 1955 Clayton Heaslip bought the dealership from the Head family. Heaslip’s son, Ken Heaslip is still the dealer principal today. Phillips said, “I am second generation employee myself. My father was in the service department before me and he still helps out going to the auction with us.” Heaslip Ford has since grown and is now a full service dealership in the centre of the town of Hagersville offering New and Used vehicles as well as a Parts/Service Department and a Full Body Repair Shop with Hagersville AutoBody – all while carrying a history of over 100 years of quality care and service. Phillips told the Two Row Times that in 2006 Ford restructured their business – and having the foresight to see the upcoming financial crash in the automotive industry – managed to avoid the bankruptcy endured by
other automotive manufacturers such as GM and Chrysler. This earned the respect of the buying public who in turn have brought their business over to the Ford brand and straight to Heaslip Motors. In turn, the company then had the power to re-invest into the Ford brand and fund innovative change, bringing them to the head of the industry in technology and fuel economy for all makes and models. “We’ve got the freshest showroom in the industry,” said Phillips. He says that means in the next four years all makes and models of Ford vehicles are set to be refreshed and new models introduced. Additionally, now the brand boasts an impressive victory: namely, the top selling brand in North America for the last five years as well bragging rights for the top selling vehicle in North America – the iconic Ford F-150 pickup – for the last 48 years. Heaslip Ford also
goes above and beyond for what they provide to used car customers. “Customer service is a big thing. Customers come here because they know they are going to be recognized, they know they are going to be remembered and they know they are going to be taken care of.” Phillips says that used vehicles available at Heaslip Ford are put through close examination and are outfitted with new brakes and tires if the existing ones are more than 50% worn. Phillips says this is an important aspect of the kind of customer care they work hard to provide. “A dealership with a service department, when dealing in used vehicles, is putting the reputation of their service department on the line. People expect more from a dealership.” To see the full lineup of vehicles and services available at Heaslip Ford visit their website at www. heaslipford.com for a complete listing.
