Laurier to celebrate campus diversity with Hall of Nations

By TRT staff BRANTFORD – Wilfrid Laurier University’s Brantford campus is celebrating its diversity with the grand opening of its Hall of Nations, Feb. 15 in the Davis Fuels Walkway.

“Laurier is a home away from home for many students, and the Hall of Nations acknowledges the country of origin of our entire student body,” said Adam Lawrence, dean of students at Laurier Brantford. “Being an inclusive community involves celebrating and educating all individuals at Laurier. We hope this initiative will be a positive addition to the Laurier culture.”

Approximately 50 flags will be hung in the Hall of Nations, each recognizing the country of origin or indigenous community of a current student on campus.

Five of the 50 flags will

be recognizing students from First Nations territories: Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, Anishinabek Nation, Metis Nation of Ontario, and Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation.

“Thanks to a generous donation from the Student Life Levy, we are able to celebrate the incredible diversity within our student population on campus,” says Jessi Calberry, co-ordinator: Centre for Student Life and Engagement.

The Hall of Nations, a joint effort between the Centre for Student Life & Engagement, Laurier International and the Dean of Students Office, is an ongoing project that celebrates Laurier’s student community.

“The Hall of Nations is an important acknowledgement of the diversity of students who togeth-

er make up the Laurier student population,” said Mike Boylan, co-ordinator of Global Engagement Programming with Laurier International in Brantford. “The space created by the various international flags will become a wonderful way to welcome all students and especially international students, to our campus.”

The five First Nations flags will be joined by: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Botswana, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, England, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Iraq, Ireland, Jamaica, Jordan, Myanmar, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Trini-

dad and Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.

The flags will be updated on an ongoing basis. A similar project was established on Laurier’s Waterloo campus in 2010, with flags hanging in the campus-dining hall.

SIX NATIONS – After 14 years of leading Brantford’s Woodland Cultural Centre (WWC), Executive Director Janis Monture has announced her upcoming resignation, effective March 5, 2017.

Monture, who has led the centre through transition and countless First Nations-focused artistic exhibitions, events and competitions for many years, will be greatly missed by coworkers, volunteers, board members and artists of the WCC. She has accepted a new position as Director of Tourism and Cultural Initiatives with Six Nations Development Corporation.

“We deeply value the numerous contributions that Janis has made to build, strengthen and promote the value of the Woodland Cultural Centre to the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and Wahta Mohawks,” said Philip Franks, chairperson

Janis Monture. FACEBOOK/ WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE

“While we will miss Janis’ leadership, we want to thank her very much for her hard work and dedication, and wish her all the best in her new role with Six Nations Development Corporation. Our Board of Directors knows that our leadership transition will be smooth with Janis’ continued work over the coming weeks.”

Monture has served as WCC Executive Director since 2003. She has also previously served as the Artistic Director for the Planet IndigenUS Festival hosted at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre.

AFOA Canada recognizes two women in aboriginal leadership

By TRT staff OTTAWA – AFOA Canada (formerly the Aboriginal Financial Officer Association of Canada) is pleased to announce the 2017 recipients of the MNP-AFOA Canada Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership Award who will be recognized Thursday, February 9th during the AFOA 17th Annual National Conference at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Calgary.

The MNP-AFOA Canada Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership National Award is presented to Chief Frieda Martselos, Salt River First Nation 195, Northwest Territories.

“It is an honour to receive the MNP-AFOA Canada Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership Award,” said Chief Frieda Martselos. “We’ve come a long way at Salt River First Nation since 2007, overcoming challenges typical of many First Nations across Canada,

trying to do what’s best for our Membership as a whole. We always believe in doing the right thing, no matter what. Transparency and accountability are essential to serve the grassroots, and preserve our Treaty Settlement Agreement for current and future generations.”

The MNP-AFOA Canada Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership Regional Award will be presented to Dawn Madahbee Leach, General Manager, Waubetek Business Development Corporation, Birch Island, Ontario.

“I am extremely humbled to receive the MNPAFOA Canada Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership Award,” said Dawn Madahbee Leach. “Our collective efforts in advancing Indigenous people in the fields of economic development, business and finance is one of the most effective means of building our capacity to secure the future of our people, our lands and our

rightful place in Canada’s economy. Through our work, we can make a difference in building hope for our youth, assisting with the good governance that our people expect and in providing the necessary services our communities require. I am sincerely thankful for the good work of the AFOA and its members as they help us strive to make this positive impact. Miigwetch.”

The Excellence in Aboriginal Leadership Awards were created in 2004. They are designed to recognize and celebrate Inuit, Métis and First Nation achievements in Aboriginal finance, management and leadership.

OPINION

Over Easements Canada`s Forgotten Founders: EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

This week a video went viral across social media. It shows R&B singer Brandy, sitting alongside her Auntie Jeny at the piano. As Auntie plays she hums out a simple tune and sings, "I don't wanna f*** nobody up, but I will if I have to.”

The pair play on the emotion behind the sentiment, drawing the resiliency of gospel music into the mix. The video was posted to Brandy’s Facebook account this week with the simple caption “Me and Auntie Jeny back again with another anthem! If anyone tries you or disturbs your peace, this is what you say…”

In other news, Trump’s administration has approved the Dakota Access pipeline and cancelled the environmental impact study and across the land it’s safe to say the peace of several has been disturbed.

And suddenly Brandy and her Auntie are singing the songs of our people.

The fight is far from over.

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says they are committed to taking the fight against Energy Transfer Partners into federal courtrooms. In the meantime Dakota Access could begin drilling beneath the Missouri River on traditional Lakota-Dakota Sioux lands as early as 24 hours from this date.

Pipeline opponents are up in arms. Water protectors are still camped out at Oceti Sakowin opposition camps. The tribal council was previously under scrutiny and being blasted on social media for “pushing” water protectors off the land, asking the Bureau of Indian Affairs to assist in removing people from camp.

Suddenly with potential-

ly a 24 hour notice prior to drilling the tribe’s urgency to have water protectors removed from the field takes on a whole new perspective. Did they know ahead of time the easement would be granted?

And if so, was the push to have folks cleared out of camp a matter of the tribe ‘selling out’ as some have said, or was it a matter of human safety?

Tensions have been high at the resistance camps since last August and have not been tempered by the actions of North Dakota law enforcement at all.

Now with the permitted easement to begin drilling what are we to expect?

Morton County Sheriff’s Office issued an official statement declaring the costs of ‘policing’ activities of the water protectors came in a $22 million. A hefty tab that includes militarized vehicles, rocket launchers, water cannons, LRAD devices, and a hell of a lot of ammunition. Not to mention gas, food and lodging for oil defenders, er, we mean police.

But what will the cost be now? When water defenders make a stand against the drill we don’t know what will happen but it is sure that the cost to our indigenous cousins will be steep. Last check in at Haudenosaunee camp there was still 25 people present supporting the Lakota-Dakota Sioux Nation.

What will the Haudenosaunee cost be for the Dakota Access pipeline to be completed? Estimates are hard to make but it is certain though peace reigns in their minds the water defenders, and their supporters — will do what they have to.

The Haudenosaunee pt. II

By Grace Woo

The particular indigenous people involved in the League of Nations application had a long and complex involvement in North American colonial development. By the 1920s, the seat of government for the Canadian branch of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was on a territory known as the 'Six Nations Reserve', near Brantford Ontario. The 20th century produced a vast literature struggling with elusive concepts related to the idea of 'nationality' and it was not until 1933 that international law established a positive legal definition for a 'state'. Following Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, it is now considered that a 'state' must have a permanent population, a defined territory, a government and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. As a division of the British Empire, Canada's international relations were handled by Britain when the League of Nations was founded and it did not meet these criteria. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy did. Their Grand River territory was one of the first parts of Upper Canada to be surveyed. Indeed, the history of the people on this 'reserve' is inextricably intertwined with the establishment of British North America. Their ancestors had been making treaties with European monarchies since 1643, becoming intensely involved in international relations during the colonial age. England, France and the United States all called the 'Iroquois' allies at times and Haudenosaunee ambas-

sadors had visited the English court on several occasions.

The eventual union of Britain's American colonies after they revolted from subject status was suggested by indigenous diplomats long before it was achieved and the United States' senate has acknowledged that its constitution is founded on that of the 'Iroquois' confederation of the Kanienkehaka (Mohawk), Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca nations.

Haudenosaunee attempts to remain neutral in the European conflicts that were carried to their soil during the colonial era met with limited success and they had a pattern of creating ties with both sides in any dispute. Following the American revolution of 1784, the part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy that had allied with the British moved north with the Empire Loyalists. The League of Nations applicants were descendants of those accompanying the Mohawk war chief Thayendanegea. Known in English as 'Joseph Brant', Thayendanegea's older sister, Konwatsi'tsiaienni or 'Molly', was the widow of Sir William Johnson, the first British Superintendent of Indian Affairs.

The Haudenosaunee were a matrifocal society in which women could remove public representatives from office and decide whether or not to go to war. In their efforts to keep their 'Indian allies' on side, the British continued to seek Konwatsi'tsiaienni's diplomatic support long after Johnson's death. It was not until Europeans had established themselves as the majority in North America and the Anglo-American border was settled that the

strategic importance of 'Indian allies' began to wane.

The territory occupied by the part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy that led the application for membership in the League of Nations had been guaranteed to them by General Haldimand. It was seen as a replacement for the traditional homeland along the Mohawk River near Albany, New York that had been lost as a result of their British military alliance during the American Revolution. Originally designated as being six miles wide on either side of the Grand River from Lake Erie to its head, the 'Six Nations' territory cut through the heart of what was to become one of the richest parts of Canada, including the modern cities of Brantford, Waterloo and Kitchener. However, confusion over the legal status of this territory coupled with a laissez faire attitude towards squatters on the part of Upper Canadian officials led to the dissipation of most of the land during the 1800s under circumstances that can only be described as unjust.

Despite these difficulties, the Six Nations people managed to maintain a functioning government. They adapted to the colonial environment, modifying their traditional institutions to manage all of the normal concerns of an agricultural community. At Six Nations, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council met regularly in their brick council house to look after a full range of community business, including tenders for road and school construction, dispute settlement and the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

welfare of orphans and the disabled. In the eyes of the Indian Department they were a model reserve under the authority of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, though from their own perspective they were simply managing their own business independently as had always been their custom.

Despite either ignorance or willful blindness on the part of Canadian officials, the 'Six Nations' had not forgotten the history of their relationship with Britain. As previously mentioned, this had begun during the age when European diplomacy was conceived in terms of monarchies, not states.

During the nineteenth century, colonial versions of history were compiled to defend the expansionist aspirations that prevailed in Anglo-American culture, but modern scholars are beginning to realize that Indigenous diplomacy was geared towards self-preservation rather than imperial expansion.

Although they were constrained to serve as military allies to one side or another, the Haudenosaunee continued to define themselves on their own

terms in the changing political environment created by European colonization. As far as they were concerned nothing had happened to abrogate the Two Row Wampum Treaty that set out their relationship with Britain. The two polities remained separate in a shared environment and changes in the internal organization of the British Empire such as the revolt of colonists to found the United States or the creation of the Dominion of Canada did nothing to impugn their own political integrity.

Whether the British fully understood and accepted the concepts represented by the Two Row Wampum or not, they traditionally allowed subjects to rule themselves according to their local laws and customs. Thus, despite repeated attempts by colonial administrators to claim Indigenous peoples as subjects, the two societies managed to co-exist. However, as one generation succeeded the next in colonial Canada, knowledge of founding concepts both in the field of British constitutionalism and of Indigenous diplomacy began to

TWO ROW TIMES erode. After the American boundary was settled following the War of 1812 the British transferred Indian Affairs from military to civilian control and with the creation of the Dominion of Canada by the British North America Act 1867, responsibility for Indian Affairs passed to Canada's federal government. After confederation, Canada passed a series of Acts on the advice of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs.

These gradually increased his powers. At every step of the way, the Haudenosaunee, like other indigenous nations, objected and as recently as 1909 they had been able to rely on their unusual history to extract the assurance from Frank Oliver, then Minister of the Interior that: 'It is the policy of the Canadian Government, as I understand it, to recognize its relations with the Six Nations Indians of the Grand River as being on a different footing from those with any of the other Indians of Canada. The Six Nations Indians of the Grand River came to Canada under special treaty as allies of Britain, and the policy of the Canadi-

an government is to deal with them having that fact always in view.

The system of tribal government which prevailed among the Six Nations on their coming to Canada was satisfactory to the Government at that time, and so long as it is satisfactory to the Six Nations themselves so long it will remain satisfactory to the Government of Canada'.

5. The Haudenosaunee Defence In order to defend their autonomy, the Haudenosaunee council hired London Ontario lawyer AG Chisholm to draft a petition asking for a reference to the Supreme Court of Canada. They claimed that actions taken by the Indian Department under the Indian Act were a violation of the Six Nations right to internal self-government and ultra vires Canada. They soon encountered a constitutional malfunction that seems to have been produced by the devolution of power from the monarch to the Dominion. Under the Supreme Court Act the case could not be heard without leave from the Governor in Council who

7 was deemed to act on the advice of Canada's Prime Minister, the notional representative of the Canadian people. In practice, however, the Prime Minister relied on recommendations from the Indian Department, which was effectively a party in this case. Duncan Campbell Scott was thus able to shield his policies from public scrutiny in court.

Based on a judiciously worded memo advising that a Supreme Court reference would be of 'no advantage' to the Indian administration, the petition was rejected by an Order in Council orchestrated by Scott and declaring that the Six Nations were British subjects. Though this decision was ostensibly made by the Governor in Council on Scott's advice, there is no evidence to suggest that any elected representative or Canadian official other than Scott turned his mind to the situation.

Following the failure of their petition and several other attempts to negotiate a solution to their problems, the Six Nations dismissed Chisholm and hired George Decker, a lawyer from Rochester,

New York who was working on the Cayuga claim.

They drafted a second petition to the Governor General of Canada reminding him of Britain's traditional alliance with the Iroquois and asking for the protection of the British Crown from laws 'manifestly designed to destroy our Government'.

Petitions to previous Governors General had successfully defended their rights, but this time their pleadings were passed down once again to Duncan Campbell Scott — the author of the actions they were complaining about — without any independent consideration by anyone else. And so it was rejected again.

The Haudenosaunee had not made any agreements with Canada. Their treaties had all been made with Britain and so they decided to appoint representatives to carry their cause directly to the King in England. When Scott read about this in the Montreal Gazette, he asked the department of External Affairs to block their passports. The Six Nations circumvented this problem CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

Grand River Spa: take the journey

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Nestled on 23 acres of beautifully manicured and maintained grounds, Six Nations’ Grand River Spa is a luxurious escape for anyone looking to relax and unwind.

“We offer massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, body wraps, makeup services, hair-styling and more,” said Andrea Carvalho, manager of the spa.

Carvalho said the team at Grand River Spa is trained and more than capable in meeting the needs of the customers and clients who come from several of the surrounding communities.

“We have a registered massage therapist, two full-time aestheticians, one full-time and one parttime hair stylist. People come from Six Nations, Brantford, Caledonia, Hamilton, Ancaster, Hagersville and even from farther away sometimes.”

Carvalho said a lot of customers call Grand River Spa their spa of choice because of the at-

mosphere. Customers are greeted by friendly staff in their open-concept, beautifully-designed lodge and are able to sit, relax and enjoy a beverage or snack while they wait for their appointment.

“What makes us different from any other spa is how we make our clients feel. We become friends

with our guests and they become so much more than simply clients,” she said. “We really place comfort and friendliness as a priority here at the spa.

“It’s private, comfortable, clean, and our team really wants to help people feel great about themselves,” she added.

Grand River Spa offers

several different types of massages and facials all at a reasonable price. Hot stone massage, deep tissue and Swedish massage are a few of the guests’ favourites. The entire list of services can be found on the spa’s website.

Sometimes guests come alone as an opportunity to get away from the business of life and relax, while others come in large groups to celebrate life’s milestone like a wedding, anniversary, or

team-building event.

“We don’t target or cater to any specific agegroup here. Women of all ages come to the spa and we encourage it,” said Carvalho. “More women visit us then men but we still offer services to men as well. Usually men come in for waxing and pedicures.”

The team at the spa is always up-to-date with the latest trends in hair, nails, and make-up.

“We know that styles are always changing and

we want to make sure our guests are getting the best treatment there is” said Carvalho.

The spa’s website describes the spa as a place of being where you can take care of yourself without distractions. Where you can slow down and relax and where you can be sure to leave happy. The spa is located on Six Nations at 3773 6th Line, Ohsweken.

Let your flowers speak for themselves Put a colour to your relationship this Valentine's Day

By TRT staff TORONTO – Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show your significant other, family or friend just how special they are.

Flowers have a long history of being the ideal gift whether you are celebrating 30 years of marriage, have just started to date someone, or want to show your friend you appreciate them.

“The beauty of flowers as a Valentine’s Day gift is that they can easily be personalized depending on how you want to make someone feel,” said Dejan Kristan, marketing director at Flowers Canada [Ontario]. “You want to send out the right message to your Valentine, whether it is ‘I love you’, ‘I care for you’, or simply — ‘you are a great friend’”.

Kirstan offers insight into the meaning of flower colours: Red: Undoubtedly the

colour of passion. Giving out a red flower arrangement will communicate your strong and powerful love. With a colour the same as the heart, red means seduction, desire and passion. Try red roses, red gerbera daisies, or red tulips.

Pink: A colour of innocence and sensitivity, but also very romantic. Although red flowers mean love and passion, pink flowers can show your gentle, yet deep love for someone. Pink flowers can also indicate appreciation, joy and happiness.

Try pink ranunculus, calla lilies, or potted azaleas.

Yellow: The colour of harmony, trust and kindness — a great middle ground between friendship and love. Yellow flowers have grown increasingly popular in the work place and at social and family gatherings. These convey meanings of sympathy, thoughtfulness and friend-like love. Try daffodils, yellow tulips, chrysanthemums, or potted begonias.

Orange: Symbolic for growth, enthusiasm and

nation and respect. Purple flowers show a very romantic gesture as they carry with them feelings of elegance and charm.

These can express feelings of love at first sight and say ‘I admire and adore you’. Try purple iris, campanula, or an elegant potted orchid.

Blue: Blue means serenity, intimacy and deep trust. Blue flowers are often used by long-term couples to communicate their never-ending love, trust and loyalty in a relationship. Try soft blue hydrangeas, or a bouquet of delphinium and muscari.

Try white daisies, roses or gardenias.

“Flowers are known for having their own language” added Kristan. “It is important to keep these meanings in mind so that your flowers communicate exactly what you intend. One bouquet will tell a passionate love story, while the other will be the tale of a never-ending friendship.”

Racism still evident in Canadian health care OTTAWA — A recent study says indigenous patients face barriers to their health care in Canada because of the attitudes of health care professionals toward indigenous people.

The study found diabetes patients were likely to experience struggles in receiving care, and linked those struggles to the ongoing impacts of colonization.

Researchers said

indigenous patients regularly reported being stereotyped or mistreated, often overhearing discriminatory conversations while in waiting rooms or clinics.

OTTAWA — A new report says the federal government should be open to private sector funding for reserves to help close infrastructure gaps more quickly.

The study by the Conference Board of Canada says the isolated location of many reserves substantially raises the

cost and complexity of infrastructure construction projects, their operation and maintenance.

Indian and Northern Affairs Canada calculated the cost of addressing infrastructure issues on reserve is expected to reach 9.7 billion dollars by 2018.

Officials say closing the gap between

life for Canadians off reserve compared to the life indigenous people are living in Canada on reserve is a huge undertaking and that the public sector is not in a position to assume financial responsibility for the full cost of amending that situation.

Infrastructure upgrades on reserve could be privately funded, report says

NatioN News all our relations.

Indigenous group Northern Cree excited to kick off Grammys The Canadian Press TORONTO — When the Native American music album category was eliminated from the Grammys in 2011, Steve Wood thought that Northern Cree's run of nominations had likely reached its end.

The group's co-founder was delighted to have been proven wrong. ``We thought it might be a little tougher to get back, but we got nominated which is pretty darn cool!''

Wood said excitedly.

The award-winning Alberta-based indigenous singing group has received its seventh Grammy nod.

Northern Cree will compete in the best regional roots music album category for ``It's a Cree Thing.''

What's more, Northern Cree will be kicking off the pre-telecast festivities in Los Angeles with a performance during the afternoon ceremony on Feb. 12, where awards will be handed out in approximately 70 categories.

Wood said while the song they'll be performing is still undetermined, it was important to the group to authentically represent both themselves

The group members balance their singing careers with day jobs. Wood is a Cree language instructor to First Nations students, one of several school teachers in the group.

Wood is excited at the prospect of paving the way for other up-andcoming indigenous artists and other youngsters who may one day take to the Grammy stage. ``I've always thought that we were just a vehicle for opening up the doors for the next generation,'' said Wood. ``(For) young First Nations people, my dream is that they believe in themselves and that they don't have to be anybody else. They can aspire to great things.... And not just young First Nations youth, but youth in general.''

Army to allow completion of Dakota Access oil pipeline The Canadian Press

BISMARCK, N.D. — The Army said Tuesday that it will allow the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota, clearing the way for completion of the disputed four-state project.

However, construction could still be delayed because the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which has led opposition, said it would fight the latest development in court.

The Army intends to cancel further environmental study and allow

the Lake Oahe crossing as early as Wednesday, according to court documents the Justice Department filed that include letters to members of Congress from Deputy Assistant Army Secretary Paul Cramer.

The stretch under Lake Oahe is the final big chunk of work on the 1,200-mile pipeline that would carry North Dakota oil through the Dakotas and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois.

Developer Energy Transfer Partners had hoped to have the pipeline operating by the end of 2016, but construction has been

stalled while the Army Corps of Engineers and the Dallas-based company battled in court over the crossing.

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation is just downstream from the crossing, fears a leak would pollute its drinking water. The tribe has led protests that drew hundreds and at times thousands of people who dubbed themselves ``water protectors'' to an encampment near the crossing. ETP says the pipeline is safe.

Details of the tribe's legal challenge to the Ar-

my's decision were still being worked out, attorney Jan Hasselman said.

But tribal Chairman Dave Archambault said the tribe is ``undaunted'' by the Army's decision. Even if the pipeline is finished and begins operating, he said, the tribe will push to get it shut down.

An assessment conducted last year determined the crossing would not have a significant impact on the environment.

However, then-Assistant Army Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy on Dec. 4 declined to issue permission for the cross-

ing, saying a broader environmental study was warranted.

ETP called Darcy's decision politically motivated and accused then-President Barack Obama's administration of delaying the matter until he left office. The Corps launched a study of the crossing on Jan. 18, two days before Obama left office, that could have taken up to two years to complete.

President Donald Trump signed an executive action Jan. 24 telling the Corps to quickly reconsider Darcy's decision.

The court documents

filed Tuesday include a proposed Federal Register notice terminating the study. ``I have determined that there is no cause for completing any additional environmental analysis,'' Acting Assistant Army Secretary Douglas Lamont said in a memo.

The Standing Rock Sioux argues that under the Fort Laramie Treaties of 1851 and 1888, the federal government is obliged to consider a tribe's welfare when making decisions that affect the tribe.

Knowing the Truth, Knowing your Worth GMSU -- Standing up to bullying takes a lot of bravery, but it also takes a lot of endurance.

Endurance is when you have the power to go through something difficult without giving up.

One way you can build your endurance to stand up to bullies is to craft something inside of your spirit called ‘self-esteem’.

This thing called self-esteem, when high, can be a very powerful tool against the little darts bullies will throw at you. But those same darts can sometimes seem like huge missiles if your self-esteem is low.

This is why you need to know the truth: the truth about who you are. And the truth is — you are valuable! Knowing your value is good medicine. Telling others how much they mean to you helps them to know their worth as well!

ACTIVITY

It’s okay to be yourself! Say it out loud: “It’s okay to be __________.” Now take some time to write all of the things about yourself that are true in the letters to the left. Take your time, decorate it beautifully. Ask your friends to contribute to your creation and write true things about you too.

By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – Music lovers gathered to listen to music full of indigenous influence at the Woodland Cultural Centre on Saturday, February 4, to hear songs from Gail Obediah’s Let the Eagle Fly album.

Obediah posted to Facebook one day before the release of her album to let listeners know that her work is for healing; calling the work a piece of 'the resurgence of our people'.

“Let the Eagle Fly became a project that directed me into following Creator’s path. It has been a journey of trust, faith, intuition and patience. This was created with the intention to help out in whatever way I could for the healing and wellness of our people that have suffered the effects of

the residential school system,” wrote Obediah.

With a hand drum, rain stick and horn rattle inhand, and backed by percussionists, guitarists and background vocalists Obediah brought forth powerful rhythms and forceful lyrics. “[Creating this CD] has been a life-long journey for me,” said Obediah. “The title track ‘Let the Eagle Fly,' [was written] in response to the National Apology.

There was a lot of conflict around that, but to me what the apology meant was that the doors were opened for all of us to start doing healing. And it brought the truth to the general public, not just nationally but internationally.”

“I have friends that never knew anything about residential school until they

heard that song and they were asking me about it, then they went to the computer to check it out and they're like 'oh my god'.”

Obediah dedicated her CD launch to the Save the Evidence Campaign and many of her songs were inspired by the National Apology for Residential Schools. This can be heard especially within her song “Children Warriors”.

“This one,” said Obediah.

“I went to ImagiNative Theatre and the feature movie for that one was 'We Were Children', and at that movie they had the two main characters in the movie,” she said, as she explained that one of the main actors passed away after the movie was released.

“So, it was a story of these children and the experiences that they went through,”

she said. “Everybody in the theatre was crying. I went home that night and I got up the next morning and I was thinking 'oh my god, that was only [two effected children].' I mean I heard stories before but nothing ever hit me like that movie hit me,” she said.

“I really felt strongly that I needed to write a song thanking the children and expressing my gratitude, because that movie really showed and demonstrated how they persevered and were watching out for each other’s backs and if it wasn't for that, where would we be today?” she said. “The government could have totally been successful with what they were trying to do, and we're still here. So, I felt that I needed to write a song to express my gratitude for that.”

song] didn't climb the charts, it shot right to and debuted at No. 35,” said Martin, who is thankful for the support. “I just want to thank Six Nations for all of your support in helping me achieve my dreams.”

But “Free to Fly” has already broke ground in the indigenous music sector as it will be licensed by the APTN hit Mohawk Girls, as well as have a part in season two of Derek Miller's “Guilt Free Zone”. Martin said it is the

song that has taken his career “to new heights”.

“Free to Fly has had me touring for nearly three years,” he said. “It has allowed me to be heard by over 400 Million people during PanAm Games Closing Ceremonies, and be featured in the Vocalist Magazine & Outdoor Lifestyle.”

When asked what he thought helped to make the song a hit, Martin explained that indigenous radio and media helped to drive its notoriety, but

it is also the song itself.

“I truly believe it is the song. It has to have all the elements; timing of release, tone of song, lyrics, melody, and it has to have industry standard sound and production.

After that, it is a roll of the dice,” he said. “No one really knows what the radio audience will like. I think “Free to Fly” has the right message and feel. It is a positive song that inspires you.”

The process for Martin with this particular sin-

“The process was such an eye opener for me, and I used that knowledge to produce a few other artists like Six Nations Guitar Slinger, A.K Mcleod and 14-year-old Rising Country Artist, Leah Belle,” he said.

But in regards to himself and what he has learned throughout the process of producing his

own music, Martin said he maintains the principles of integrity, honesty and respect as an artist, and really feels like he was “born to do this”.

“And I get confidence from knowing that I will be successful as long I am true to myself,” he said. “You do need to have thick skin. People will attack every aspect of who you are in order to get you to give up. But don't compete with anyone but CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Bison roam Banff park again The Canadian Press

BANFF — Bison are once again grazing along the remote eastern slopes of Banff National Park after a more than century-long absence.

Parks Canada announced Monday it has moved 16 of the animals to the mountainous landscape that vast herds of the species once roamed for thousands of years.

The herd selected earlier this year for the $6.4-million project consists of 10 pregnant young cows and six young bulls.

It may seem like a lot of work and money for the number of bison involved, but it's worth it, said project manager Karsten Heuer. ``Really this is a longterm project and it's a long-term investment that Parks Canada's making now,'' he said. ``This is a seed of a conservation herd that could grow here and contribute to both national and global bison conservation.''

The ruminants had been living in Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton, the main source of animals for reintroduction projects around the world.

Indigenous communities were involved in the project along the way and traditional blessings were given at both the beginning and end of the journey.

Before their departure, the bison were quarantined for three weeks to check for disease.

They were collared and tagged and pieces of rubber hose were duct-taped

to the animals' horns to make sure they didn't poke each other along the way, Heuer said.

The beasts were loaded three or four at a time into five customized shipping containers, which were places onto five flatbed trucks.

The trucks drove 400 kilometres throughout the night last week to a ranch at the end of a dirt road just outside Banff.

A staffer watching the animals overnight played some Mozart music for them, Heuer said.

They next morning, the bison were hoisted up in their crates by rope hanging from a helicopter and flown about 15 minutes away to their new digs _ a 182,000-square metre enclosed pasture.

Heuer said the animals didn't seem any worse for wear as they exited the containers, with some trotting around and starting to feed right away. ``By end of that first afternoon, they were drinking and some of the young bulls were even rubbing horns and bucking playfully. So it was just amazing to us to see how fast they settled,'' he said. ``They fit in as if they were meant to be there all

along.''

The herd will be penned in the pasture for about 16 months and closely monitored by Parks Canada staff.

That's enough time for the cows to give birth a couple of times. Research has shown that the animals tend to get attached to the area where they calved for the first time, Heuer said.

The bison are to be released in the summer of 2018 into an 1,200-square-kilometre zone in a remote area of the park that has no road access, reclaiming their historic role in the ecosystem. The region has grassy meadows that will become healthier once the bison start grazing, said Heuer.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said it's the perfect way to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation. ``By returning plains bison to Banff National Park, Parks Canada is taking an important step towards restoring the full diversity of species and natural processes to the park's ecosystems while providing new opportunities for Canadians and visitors to connect with the story of this iconic species,'' she said in a release.

know the score.

The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs, winners of the last three Sutherland Cup Championships, are poised to add another this spring. The history making franchise is showing no signs of weakening either. They have a record of 38-5-1-0 with 77 points and will likely end the regular season in first place. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs surprised by Ancaster

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Judging by the standings as the 2016 to 2017 regular season comes to an end the Caledonia Pro-Fir Corvairs should have a pretty easy time of it in the early rounds.

Although it has not yet been determined who they will play, it seems that only the St. Catharines Falcons should give them a hard time.

The Corvairs are 38-51-0 with 77 points compared to the second-place St. Catharines Falcons with 34 wins and seven losses. The difference is in the overtime losses column where the Falcons have lost in overtime for three of a possible six points. Those same six points separate the Falcons and the Corvairs with six games remaining for each team.

Last Friday, February 3rd, at the Gale Centre in Niagara Falls, the Corvairs and the Canucks unleashed fire on each other

knowing how every point can make a difference at this time of the season.

They played to a 0-0 first period after 10 shots on each net.

In the second period, Corvairs’ Bailey Fletcher got his team going with back-to-back goals four minutes apart. Troy Henley, Eddie Schults and Jamie Lauzon piled on to end the middle frame with the Corvairs holding a 6-0 lead with 20 minutes of play left. Holden Hrysko made it 7-0 at 2:06 of the third period.

Caledonia goaltender Daniel Chenard was stung for two for delay of game penalties The second of which turned into Niagara Falls’ first goal of the game ruining his shutout bid.

With the game miles out of reach, Niagara took advantage of a late Caledonia penalty scoring the last goal of the match at 19:07.

Next up for the Corvairs was a fired-up Ancaster Avalanche at the

on this given night. Van Schubert allowed three goals in seven shots before he was replaced by Chenard who held the Avalanche off the rest of the game.

Although that stopped

the bleeding defensively, the Caledonia offence sputtered. Christian Polillo netted a powerplay goal at 8:19 which Zachary Core followed, and it was a 3-1 game with a full period left and the Corvairs coming on.

Caledonia more than doubled the Avalanches in shots on goal in the third, but Matt Calas stood up to 15 shots to preserve the 3-2 win for Ancaster.

This coming Thursday night the Corvairs are in Thorold, Saturday, Feb. 11, they host Welland at the Haldimand Centre Arena, and Tuesday night, they are in Buffalo.

The Sutherland Cup is named after Captain James T. Sutherland. He was a hockey pioneer who was instrumental in the promotion of the Ontario Hockey Association at every opportunity.

He became president of the OHA in 1915 and, one year later, first held the same office for the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. He was

known as one of the main sources for hockey information, as a coach, and as a referee.

He introduced preseason conditioning exercises and a coaching system.

In 1919 on his discharge from the army, one of his first accomplishments was to recommend a trophy as a memorial to the young men who died in the European conflict.

From this came the creation of the Memorial Cup, emblematic of the Canadian Junior Championship, first awarded to the University of Toronto in 1919.

He dedicated his life to helping Canadians recognize and preserve the heritage of their winter sport. To his death on September 15, 1955, he insisted that events in the town of Kingston in 1888 made that location the actual birthplace of organized hockey.

James Thomas Sutherland is known simply as the father of hockey in Ontario.

Brandon Montour celebrates first NHL goal

By Jim Windle NHL – Any new NHL prospect wants to make the best impression when they are called up to the NHL, even if it’s a temporary stay. Six Nations Brandon Montour is no different and he made the best of his opportunity to impress.

In his sixth game with the Ducks this year, the rushing defenseman

scored the first goal of the game and his first NHL goal in the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks.

But the pleasure was almost stolen from him when the Bolts called for a replay insisting the play was offside. After video review, the on-ice official’s call stood and Montour could now be properly celebrated.

Although Montour is

known as an offensive/defenseman because of his speed and his blistering shot, it’s an evaluation he is not entirely comfortable with.

Although he does have the shot, speed and the puck-savvy to lead a rush and still get back to look after his defensive chores, it’s the defensive part of the game he has been working very hard on, and with visible results,

since going to the AHL San Diego Gulls, two seasons ago.

Montour spent three years in the Greater Ontario Junior B Hockey League, with the Six Nations owned Brantford Golden Eagles, which allowed his parents and grandparents to watch his games. He learned and developed. “It was a good stepping stone,” says Montour.

“Monty” as he is known by his teammates, stepped in from his point position a wired a one-timer past Ben Bishop from atop the faceoff circle for a 1-0 Anaheim lead.

The video of his first goal is up on YouTube to see, but it’s that big smile that outshone the goal itself.

"You can tell he has a lot of skill," Ducks goalie Jonathan Bernier said to Anaheimducks.com. "He's a great skater and he's patient with the puck. He's got a great shot."

“It was a whirlwind,” Montour said in a LA Times phone interview from Tampa. “I’m just

grateful I can play with those guys. They teach me a lot out there and I learn as much as I can. I’m new out there.”

Montour got his second tour of duty with the Ducks Wednesday after regular defender Sami Vatanen went down with the flu. Montour will stay with the Ducks until Vatanen is healthy again, but stocks in Montour went through the roof after his first goal, proving he belongs in the NHL. The Ducks seem to have a glut of fine defensemen and his is a name that is being heard often as trade deadline looms.

@ Six Nations Commmunity Hall One of the greatest risks to Six Nations is the loss of a community member to drugs.

We cannot expect to go unharmed when this drug is so harmful. Drugs in the hands of innocent people is an even greater loss to the community.

You could be in an environment where Fentanyl has been used or in the presence of a person who has used. Precautions need to be taken.

We cannot take substance use lightly and the Addiction Services Program cannot do this alone.

The whole community needs to help put a stop to substance abuse.

BRANTFORD – They didn’t see it coming, but the last place last place Hamilton Steelhawks had a taste of success Friday night by winning its fifth game of the Sr. AAA Allan Cup 4-2 over the thirdplace Brantford Blast at the Brantford and District Civic Centre.

After Blast veterans Mark Taylor and Mike Burgoyne put the Blast up 2-0, Brantford let the momentum swing towards Hamilton. Dean Strong and Taylor Carnevale evened the score at 2-2 after the first period.

Hamilton’s Jamie Williams scored the goahead goal 1:55 seconds into the second period.

Steelhawks goalie Dalton McGrath had a slightly easier night than Brett Leggat at the other end who faced 47 shots, game total, while McGrath stopped 22 of 24 shots he was called upon to deal

As time wound down, the Blast had a golden opportunity to get that one back, after Carnevale drew a holding-the-stick minor with 36 seconds left. Leggat was pulled for the extra attacker, time out was called and

the Blast bench staff went over a set play to maximize its five on three advantage.

However, only six seconds after the faceoff, Mitch McCrank scored the shorthanded, unassisted, empty-net, game-clinching goal.

Jamieson to miss remainder of 2017 season

By Jim Windle / Craig Rybczynski

Rochester Knighthawks star Cody Jamieson announced today that he will have season-ending surgery to repair his ACL and will miss the the remainder of the 2017 National Lacrosse League campaign.

Jamieson returned to the Knighthawks lineup on Saturday and assisted on Rochester’s first two goals on his first two shifts. Midway through the first quarter, Jamieson left the game and did not return.

Over his seven seasons in the NLL, Jamieson has won three Champion’s Cups and two Championship Game MVP honours.

In 2014, he became only the second Knighthawk to win league MVP honours. He ranks third alltime in team history in goals (199), assists (329) and points (528).

Jamieson, always appreciative of his many fans, released a statement on his facebook page saying: “As some of you know, I chose to undergo a non-surgical procedure to repair my torn ACL which allowed me to play through the summer to prepare for the upcoming

NLL season.

A follow up MRI showed my ACL had healed, and my strength and speed were on par with where I felt Comfortable playing at the highest level.

Your messages and support fueled me to come back and perform to my fullest potential.

Thank you for all the well-wishes during my recovcery. I couldn’t have done it without all of you.

Not long into my first game of the NLL season, I re-aggravated my injury.

I am upset that the knee injury I suffered during the summer proved too much for me to endure, and won’t allow me to finish out the regular season with my teammates.

As a competitor, you never want to be sidelined, but I will now undergo surgery to repair my ACL and miss the remainder of the NLL serason. While this setback is disappointing, I want to thank the Knighthawks management, coaches, teammates, family, and friends for all their support they have given me.

I’ll be back! #muse

TNT’s fast food is still dynamite PAID ADVERTISEMENT

By Jayson Koblun

SIX NATIONS – The owners of TNT restaurant in Ohsweken are proud of their history, their loyal customers, and the awesome food they continue to serve up for the community.

“We’ve been in business since 1989,” said Bonnie Hill, who is currently overseeing and running the fast-food restaurant in the Ohsweken Village Plaza. “It’s definitely a family business — having been owned by two of my aunts, my mom, and my grandma.”

Right now Bonnie’s mom and dad still own it, but she looks after everything and is set up to take over when they retire.

Bonnie has been around since the beginning. The restaurant started out as an ice cream and sub shop owned by Bonnie’s aunt, Theresa Thomas, and was named TNT for Thomas’ daughters, Tanya and Trisha.

“TNT was named from my aunt’s daughters, but our customers sometimes joke and tell us that it must stand for dynamite food,” said Bonnie. “Because our food is awesome.”

TNT is widely known

Aside from tacos, the team at TNT also serves: chicken wraps, corn soup, traditional foods, scones, julienne salads, and more.

“Our taco recipe was handed down from my grandma,” said Bonnie.

“Our fry-bread, scone, some soups — the recipes were all from her.”

TNT is one of the first fast-food restaurants on the territory.

“We’re definitely not the first restaurant on the reserve, but for sure we are one of the first fastfood restaurants. So we’ve been around long enough to know how to keep the business running during the slower months and to keep our customers happy.”

TNT’s ownership has changed a lot over the years, but one thing that has remained constant is that it’s been family run since the very beginning.

Bonnie’s aunt Theresa owned the business

first, and Bonnie worked for her. Then Bonnie’s grandma bought it. After her, Bonnie’s aunt Eva took over. Then Bonnie’s parents bought it around 1999 off of aunt Eva. “My grandma was getting tired of managing a restaurant and wanted to stop but she didn’t want to see TNT leave the family. That’s when Eva took over. And now it’s my parents who own it and have prepared me to take over.

Bonnie has two brothers, Tom and Steve, and they each have played a

T-N-T

large role in the business’ success.

“The three of us also have a catering business that we run out of TNT,” she said. “We take small odd jobs here and there for catering. My brother Tom still helps out a lot and my brother Steve has a tattoo parlour and is very busy with that.”

Bonnie said that her parents help out with the business a lot still too. Her mom comes in the morning and makes a special or helps with food prep. Bonnie said right now she has three full-time staff members and two part-time.

Each member of the team is invaluable.

“It was important for me to make sure I had enough dependable staff so my mom and dad could feel safe and confident in the business,” said Bonnie.

“They can come and go as they please. In my eyes, they will always own TNT — I just manage all the stresses of a business.”

Bonnie said the biggest challenge of running a restaurant is being unsure of how a new restaurant, or fast-food place will effect TNT. “Even with the new Tim Hortons, of course we were concerned with that

who wouldn’t be?” said Bonnie. “But the thing that I really appreciate about the people of Six Nations is their loyalty. It makes perfect sense for people to be curious and want to check out something new, but I really appreciate that they come back.”

Bonnie said that her customers are super important to them and their satisfaction is vital to the business’ success.

“The restaurant wouldn’t run if it weren’t for my staff and customers,” she said. “What makes us really different is our friendly environment. It’s a family-run business and you can really tell. It’s personable, friendly, and comfortable.”

Bonnie said she purchased all brand-new equipment for the restaurant in the fall and is looking forward to giving the place a small face-lift in the near future.

“Just some small renovations and maybe repainting the walls,” she said. “We want to keep it small but also add some more seating to keep our customers comfortable if we can.”
