SIX NATIONS — In the early hours of Monday May 28, 2018, Brantford City Police were assisted by the Six Nations Police in investigating a car jacking incident involving a blue GMC Sierra truck that was stolen from the owner at gunpoint by a trio of suspects. With the help of “Onstar;” a vehicle security service, police were led to the stolen truck on Six Nations. The engine of the vehicle was eventually

shut down remotely. With the assistance of OPP, police took a female into custody who emerged from a residence on Sixth Line, who claimed to be the driver of the stolen truck. Two other suspects, as well as the firearm used in the car jacking, are also being sought after by Brantford City Police. The female in custody was later turned over to Brantford City Police and the stolen truck was towed

from the scene. Police closed Sixth Line Road between Chiefswood Road and Tuscarora Road for a period of time. The road has since been re-opened to traffic. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to report it to the Six Nations Police at 519-445-2811, Brantford City Police at 519-756-7050 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

OHSWEKEN — The province of Ontario is investing $1.5 million over two years to create a new multiservice centre to address the needs of Indigenous survivors of crime. Following receipt of this funding, the Six Nations Justice Department is currently training volunteers for their Indigenous Victim Services Program. Volunteers who have enrolled in the 60-hour training program will have the opportunity to learn new skills and gain experience in crisis intervention. The community and volunteer based program will support indigenous victims in Six Nations, Brantford, Cayuga and Hamilton. Assistance will be provided to victims of crime and other tragedies, including: assaults, car accidents, family violence,

homicides, house fires, human trafficking, robberies/break and enters, sexual assaults, sudden deaths, and suicides. The funding provided by the Ministry of the Attorney General will also help to ensure that two staff and/or volunteers are available to respond to emergency on-site tragedies. “We are so pleased to be able to support and work with Six Nations of the Grand River to build community based supports for Indigenous victims of crime. Programs like these that are developed and led by the community are essential to providing meaningful support, emergency response and healing.” said Yasir Naqvi, Attorney General of Ontario. “The launch of the Indigenous Victim Services Program occurred on May 28, 2018, and our program services will start on June 1, 2018”, said Barb General, Six Nations Justice

Director. Until the volunteer base is at a capacity to cover after-hours calls for Six Nations, Brantford, Hamilton and Cayuga, Six Nations, Indigenous Victim Services will be working collaboratively with the established victim services in the nearby cities. Those interested in volunteering with Six Nations Indigenous Victim Services Program must be 18 years of age or older, have great communication skills, a willingness to learn, able to commit a minimum of one year to volunteering, a valid driver’s license and a police record check. For more information or to volunteer contact the Volunteer Coordinator at jmillerwilliams@sixnations.ca or call 226-2272192, extension 3288. The Indigenous Victim Services toll free number for Brantford, Hamilton and Cayuga: 1- 866-9645920.

An interview with Provincial MP candidates for Brant-Brantford In your opinion, what is the most important issue facing the indigenous community today? Felsky: “Well it’s the broad ranging inequities from access to health care, to education, to resources… Six Nations contributes so much in terms of revenue to the broader community and to the government and yet people are struggling with access to housing in a major way — with access to housing, with access to all kinds of health care and living in poverty when we have such a rich rich province there’s absolutely no reason for that.” Toor: “Reconciliation. And I’m so glad the liberal government is doing it. It’s for their mental health for them to — they’re the one who brought this land — who were the first one to be on this land, right? And its so sad to hear whatever has happened but let’s put that aside because its good to move forward in life. It’s not easy, it’s easier said than done, but this is the only way that we can take the harsh thing out of our mind — out of our heart — and we can progress forward. I’m so glad that the liberal government has taken a step on it. And they are spending a lot of money on it. And they said sorry, you know it was much needed, past due.” Bouma: “I would say

the real issue is pride. To be proud of who you are, where you’re from — but that also means to be able to be successful and to be an active member of Six Nations or the Mississaugas to build lives and businesses. My parents came here for opportunity. North America has been living off of other people’s drive for opportunity for hundreds of years.” Burns: “The ability for First Nations to be able to determine their own priorities and to have the prosperity and independent ability to pursue those priorities independently and the respect of their neighbours in Canada to meaningful consultation — whether its about education systems or resource revenue sharing. For me reconciliation and the relationship that we should have with First Nations would honour those things.” Ferguson: “Well, you know one of the things I see is the condition of the reserves themselves. I think that’s a stumble. I think that’s the major

stumbling block — from running water to sewage. All of these services. A lot of people would go back to land claims. But land claims wouldn’t be a major issue if all these other issues were resolved or reduced. There wouldn’t be that strain on the reserves. It wouldn’t be a focal point of land claims if we worked together on this other stuff.” Archer: “Is it the domestic violence issue that the federal government is trying to tackle?” How do you feel the current provincial party has failed in its support of the indigenous community and how do you feel you can do better? Felsky: “The reality is that the liberal government has had 15 years to deal with these issues and the liberal government has played pass the buck back. The reality is that people are feeling more and more squeezed. People are struggling more and more after 15 years with a liberal majority government. It’s been three years since the TRC

was completed. Where is the real change? Where is the implementation of the 94 recommendations?” We would establish a true nation to nation relationship with Ontario’s First Nations including Six. Work with our leaders to sign a co-operative government to government accord. Implement recommendations of the TRC. Replace the Far North Act. Implement revenue sharing. Invest $209 million immediately into a First Nations Health Action Plan, invest $28 million for urgent repairs and capital upgrades to Ontario friendship centres plus an ongoing investment into the 28 friendship centres in the province. And remove the electricity delivery charges for First Nations.” Toor: “If you want to know where I would like to improve…? Water…. that’s one thing I would work on, focus on big time. I was reading in the paper and I felt sad and then I digged more into it to know why — in this country, first world, not

everyone has safe drinking water…I spoke to [a city councillor] about it because he is the one who is working with them and he has sound knowledge about this. Bouma: “Look at the water treatment plant fiasco. You have a wonderful treatment plant most of the people who don’t live in Ohsweken don’t have clean drinking water. It’s easy to politicize something — say good things — and not do anything…. I think really listening but with an active plan for resolution other than what I see so often. I respect everything from the TRC but if all it becomes is a few words spoken before a public meeting - than what is it good for.” Burns: “Well I think that we’ve failed to recognize that indigenous people have the right to be actively involved in determining their own priorities first of all. And secondly I believe we’ve failed to do everything that is the prioirty. I don’t think we’ve truly recognized to understand what it means to support the rights of indigenous people to determine their own priorities and strategies. I think we’ve failed because I think there is too much of a caretaker mentality and that is inappropriate. First Nations shouldn’t be coming to Ontario for

money that they already entitled to. Ferguson: “When we look at the liberals and right now our member is speaker. And he can’t be very vocal because he’s speaker he has to be neutral on everything. I’ve always said by being speaker you silence the voice. So, in the last term and a half while he has been speaker he’s silenced all of Brant’s voice, including natives. I’ve been known to be the loudest libertarian candidate in Ontario and I think that would be the difference. Voicing the concerns of the neighbours and friends. If you don’t say anything you don’t get heard.” Archer: “Well, they seem to focus on particular issues that have to do with the land disputes and funding which is only partially provincially….I definitely would like to talk to the band…chief? I think that’s the correct term? I’d talk to the entire council and sit down with them and say ‘okay what exactly are the specific local issues that don’t have to do with land disputes or other types of disputes and work to try to know a kind of program that is a combination of the private/public programs…i feel like the local issues are being neglected by the province when they can help with the local issues…”

TWO ROW TIMES

May 30th, 2018

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Is it mine, yours, or ours? EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN I had one heck of a conversation that began by putting a spotlight on birch trees. Me and one other went for a drive and we spotted a bunch of poplar trees huddled together on second line before the train tracks. We began a bit of a debate on whether or not they were birch trees, so we drove by them slowly and didn’t drop the subject. Soon the point of the conversation that revolved around the birch trees changed to whether or not they had any particular significance — besides the obvious — for the Haudenosaunee. The two of us didn’t know for sure. After a moment of silence, I recalled a story that I heard when I was younger that told of how the birch tree received its “scars,” and if I remembered correctly, the story was of Ojibwe origin. “I’m sure we have our own story though,” she said. Then a broader subject opened up that entered into the cultural appropriation and mindfulness territory. We realized that the two of us could identify that a story wasn’t something that belonged to us in a matter of seconds, and even make note of the fact that although our territories share birch trees with other nations, we likely have our own story for the trees and we wanted to find it. But then the subject changed again. It changed to ‘why is it so easy for those of us that understand our own culture to respect the differences in other cultures from our own, but not so easy for some?’ And after a bit of research,

some would say that it’s actually a lack of culture. “Awareness of our own culture is important, because it can keep us from projecting our values onto others. By projecting, I mean the universal tendency to think other people are doing something for the same reasons we would. This can happen when we are unaware of the values that drive us and unable to distinguish them from those held by other cultures,” wrote Sondra Thiederman, for Monster Worldwide. In other words, if you don’t understand the culture you belong to, you’re more likely to be less understanding of cultural beliefs and differences of others and less aware of them too. I decided to peek into cultural appropriation again and a headline reading “White woman in New Zealand under fire after tattooing face with Maori design,” popped up under a picture of Katy Perry. Now, facial tattoos known as Moko are sacred facial markings that represent the wearers genealogy and heritage to the Maori, and I’m sure there aren’t any Moko appropriate for those of European descent. Again, cultural appropriation is both is when someone adopts something from a culture that is not his or her own and when somebody takes something from another less dominant culture in a way that members of that culture find undesirable and offensive. So, a weird debate about trees brought me to thinking about the cultural appropriation in the world, and then on the smaller scale, within our

own nations. I remember my visit to the Gathering of Nations Powwow. During my stay I overheard a family discussion about how easy it was for powwow dancers to “steal,” or “imitate,” nation, tribal or familial designs in their regalia bead work. They even went as far as to explain that the designs that belong to them and their ancestors can depict family histories and that their styles are also inter-generational, so their colours and designs are passed down. The spirituality within current beadwork as well should be respected as an art form of ancestors, rather than something to copy and take without question. But if you’re indigenous, you should be able to do anything and wear anything indigenous right? I don’t think so, and if you do, take some advice. As an indigenous person, connecting to your ancestors through their teachings and their ways of life and spirituality is so much more wholesome than clinging to anything that resembles an identity. It really is. So I think that before even learning about other cultures, it is so important to learn the one(s) that are in your veins first.

Nature Connections By Quin Staats

Nature and life always find a way For those of you who have read my articles before, you already know by now that I write about Nature and my interactions with Her. For those of you who have stumbled across my writing for the first time, my series of work explores the connections between Humans and Nature. As my series approaches its one-year-anniversary, I find myself struggling with a bit of writer’s block. I sometimes think to myself, “there are only so many ways to observe the way Nature speaks to me”. On the contrary, the conversations are limitless, and one must simply learn how to fluently speak the language. After a certain amount of time and speaking the language the way it was made to be spoken, these principals of existence (taught by Nature) seem to become, well, second Nature. These lessons reside within my own being, not just in being able to speak to the blowing wind. It has become a very real part of who I am, and who I was meant to be. Recently, I’ve found myself searching and looking for a connection. It wasn’t long after trying to force a connection that Nature showed me that this approach will not work. Trying to force a connection leads to us overlooking things and overanalyzing. One must simply sit back and allow them self to be open and vulnerable. That’s when the real connections are born: when we completely let our guards down. So here’s my story… It was very late and very dark at night, and I was driving home through the countryside. As I drove, I was thinking about an article lead, struggling to put the pieces together to

Volume 5, Issue 42

make a great story. Hopelessly, I searched the corners of my brain for a way to creatively make an interaction I had with Nature into a great story. And that’s when it happened. I realized a spider was crawling on the inside of my windshield, crawling back and forth and up and down, terrifying and distracting me from driving. Over the course of ten minutes, three animals jumped in front of my vehicle. They didn’t make me swerve but came close enough to refocus my attention on the reality of the natural world around me. Two of these animals are known in my totem, the third one is a visitor that I had just realized how often I am visited by. The racoon, the rabbit, and the deer. These three animals came to me in a time of need, demanding my attention but yet with very minor interaction. My mind had been severely adrift, and all I needed was a reminder to keep my eyes on the road; or, less specifically, to keep my eyes on the outside. Trying to force connections, or anything for that matter, is useless. We must stay open to what the Natural world has planned for us, and the messages it may be trying to send. If we are to try and force these interactions, it would be just as bad as being completely oblivious to the connection as a whole. Nature and life always find a way. Nya:weh Mother Nature and Creator...for putting my feet back and head back on the ground, and my heart back in the woods. Columnist Quin Staats will be taking a summer break but will resume writing once again this fall.

Enbridge seeks deal with Akwesasne A Canadian Constitution: Part 5 A six-part interview with R. Rogers Smith examining the Mohawks BY DOUG GEORGE-KANENTIIO kanentiio@aol.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Credit goes to the Mohawk leadership for trying to find a way to relieve the extraordinarily high utility rates paid by homes throughout Akwesasne. Those costs take a major bite out of the budgets for the families, a situation which is galling whenever one drives across the International Bridges, looks to the west and sees the St. Lawrence Power Dam, the largest source of hydro electrical power in the region-and knowing that both the land and the water used by that facility are a part of our resources, never ceded, never sold. The amount of power coming from the dam (named after Robert Moses, an individual whose anti-Native and anti-environment record is staggering) generates almost 2,000 megawatts of electricity. Akwesasne has an estimated 5,000 homes and one megawatt makes enough energy for 650 residences, hence the domestic needs for every home would be about 6.5 megawatts or less than 0.35 percent of the total which is virtually nothing to the New York Power Authority and Ontario Power Generation, the co-owners of the dam.

Yes, those two entities may claim to own the dam but it is well established under law that aboriginal people own the waters which flow though our territory and can make a reasonable demand that we must be justly compensated for that resource. Securing free hydro for every home in Akwesasne is not only reasonable it is just. The question is for the people of Akwesasne is why none of the three governing councils have done this? The lack of a collective strategy and the high energy costs on our territory has led to the current situation in which natural gas is seen as an alternative. But this raises a very serious credibility issue with those Mohawks who have embraced the traditional ecological values and who have stood in unity with other Native nations opposed to oil lines, gas lines and hydrofracking. Just 16 months ago Mohawks from Akwesasne went to North Dakota to support the Lakota people in their opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Remember how the people captured world wide attention in the "Water for Life" protests? Remember the attacks upon those people, the use of dogs, the efforts to make such actions

violations of state law with heavy financial fines and long jail terms? Now comes Enbridge, a company which specializes in carrying oil and natural gas through pipelines across the continent including Akwesasne. This company, headquartered in Calgary, owns 30% of Dakota Access and bears responsibility for the the crisis at Standing Rock. It is the same company which is pressing for completion of a plan called Line 3 which would replace an existing oil pipeline across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Minnesota and through Anishnabe territory, the allies of the Haudenosaunee. The Anishnabe at Leech Lake and Fond Du Lac oppose Line 3. Do we stand with them or enter into another contract with Enbridge? According to the web site www.line9comunities. com Enbridge had over 804 oil spills through its lines from 1999-2010 resulting in 161,000 barrels spilling into the environment. It has paid millions in fines and this spring found its oil lines on the bottom of Lake Michigan are at risk. Yet the company wants to connect the Alberta tar sands oil with a shipping port in Superior, Wisconsin for the 760,000 barrels pumped

formation of Canada

The following is an excerpt from an interview by George Barr, KING’S Council, with R. Rogers Smith sometime in the mid 1940’s and on “Ligue pour l’Union Federale”, 822 Sherbrooke Est, Mtl. (Acquired from the KaNee-Ka-Neet collection) Question s by G. H. Barr, King’s Council, answers by R. Rogers Smith. Mr. Barr: The Imperial Privy Council-jurisdiction, functions and authority. What, Mr. Smith, is their authority, or what is their jurisdiction? Mr. Smith: It may be said that the Imperial Privy Council for Canada is a body delegated by the British Government to carry on the executive government of Canada. Three members of this council reside in London-Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Greenwood and Lord Bennett. Their functions are to administer matters in relation to Canadian Foreign Affairs. Those residing in Canada had certain duties and acts to perform, such as the administration of the affairs of Canada n the absence of the Governor General. This particular duty was exercised by Sir Lyman P. Duff. The duties of the Rt. Hon. MacKenzie-King are to act as one of the Vice-Presi-

dents of the parliament of Canada; to warn of any impending legislation by the parliament of Canada which would interfere with the rule of the governor General and also to scrutinize any enactments emanating in Provincial legislatures. It it is necessary to appoint a Chairman of a Royal Commission, the R. Hon. William Thomas White could serve on such a commission or to regiment the people of Canada into a straitjacket by the formation of a Selective Service for Canada Dr. T. J. McNamara, another member, would carry out the orders of the British Government. At the present time, if you will consult the parliamentary Guide, you will find only 9 members of His Majesty’s Privy Council. Q: The King’s Privy Council-jurisdiction? A: The King’s privy Council for Canada is constituted by the Governor General. The method is set forth in section 11 of the British North America Act, as follows; “There shall be a Council to aid and advise in the government of Canada, to be styled the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada; and the persons who are to be members of that Council shall be from time to time

chosen and summoned by the Governor General and sworn in as privy councilors; and members thereof may be from time to time removed by the Governor General”. Q: What are their functions and jurisdiction, Mr. Smith? A: The jurisdiction and functions of the King’s Privy Council for Canada may be said to be that of an ancillary body, similar to the ladies Aid of the United Church. The ladies Aid of the United Church advise the Moderator and I think have as much influence in the activities of the united Church as the King’s Privy Council for Canada have in connection with the government of Canada. Q: Would it be true then, Mr. Smith, to say that their function is purely advisory? They have no executive authority at all? A: Their function is purely advisory for the reason that if they, or any of them, were to attempt to impose their ideas upon the Governor General, the Governor General has the power to remove them and appoint another in his stead. Q: In common practice, what do they do? Does

editor@tworowtimes.com

TORONTO — Sorry, Not Sorry. That’s how Ontario Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne began the final televised debate of the provincial election campaign. Wynne's approval ratings plummeted below 20 per cent as premier, and her party is trailing in a distant third in the polls. Wynne said she is sorry that people don't like her, but is not sorry about what she has done to make life in Ontario better. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath and PC Doug Ford are both tied in public opinion polls at 37% — with the Liberal party in third place at 21%. Advanced polls to vote in the provincial election are open now. Election Day is on June 7th.

Cannabis bill gets amended

OTTAWA — A Senate committee passed 40 amendments on Monday to the federal governments cannabis legalization bill. One of those changes allows provinces and territories to ban homegrown pot. Another amendment that was struck down was a Conservative motion to delay legalization until issues with implementing terms for indigenous people are sorted. Senator Dennis Patterson says there has been no consultation with indigenous people on legalization — and that First Nations governments will bear the brunt of any increase to their health, social and policing services once legalization is implemented — with none of the shares of tax revenue from sales to cover the costs of those increases.

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — The federal Liberal government plans to spend $4.5 billion to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline and all of Kinder Morgan Canada's core assets. Finance Minister Bill Morneau says that in return, Kinder Morgan will go ahead with its original plan to twin the pipeline this summer while the sale is finalized, which likely won't happen until August. Once the sale is complete, Canada will continue the construction on its own, with a view to eventually selling the whole thing down the road, once market conditions would allow it to get the best price. Morneau presented the options during an early-morning cabinet meeting today before ministers made a decision on how to proceed. Export Development Canada will finance the purchase, which includes the pipeline, pumping stations and rights of way along the route between Edmonton and Vancouver, as well as the marine terminal in Burnaby, B.C., where oil is loaded onto tankers for export. Morneau says the federal government does not plan to be a long-term owner

including Indigenous communities, pension funds and the Alberta government. Alberta has also agreed to provide funding for any unexpected costs that arise during construction. The plan _ similar to how Canada financed and managed shares in General Motors and Chrysler in 2009 during the financial crisis — will include a new Crown corporation to manage the project. The deal brings some certainty to an expansion project that has been on the rocks ever since B.C. went to court in hopes of blocking it, fearing the impact of a spill of diluted bitumen, the raw output from Alberta's oilsands. Ottawa has the constitutional authority to build interprovincial projects like pipelines, but B.C. Premier John Horgan has gone to court to get a judge to weigh in on whether B.C.'s jurisdiction for the environment would allow him to regulate what flows through the pipeline. The ensuing uncertainty, paired with vociferous opposition from environmental groups and some Indigenous communities in B.C., prompted Kinder Morgan to halt investment until the federal government could inject some certainty

ahead, firmly of the opinion there is no doubt about its jurisdiction. It is also confident it will prevail in a Federal Court challenge by some Indigenous communities over its approval of the pipeline, a ruling on which is due any day. A Finance Department official says that as a Crown project in the national interest, Canada has special allowances to proceed that may not be available to a private-sector company. Canada approved the project in November 2016, following an expanded environmental review process that included additional consultations with Indigenous communities and assessing the amount of additional emissions likely to result from additional production. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has long insisted the project is in Canada's national interest and is a pivotal part of the country's economic future. Canada loses $15 billion every year on the sale of oil because the U.S. remains its only export customer, resulting in a lower price, Trudeau argues. A lack of capacity in pipelines or in rail cars to ship oil produced in Alberta is also hurting Canada's energy sector.

TORONTO – The regulatory body for Ontario's lawyers and paralegals has released a guide to help legal professionals better understand the legal rights, history and culture of Indigenous people. The Law Society of Ontario's 115-page ``Guide for Lawyers Working with Indigenous Peoples'' includes sections on constitutional protections for Indigenous people, landmark Indigenous rights cases, lists of Indigenous language interpreters and links to glossaries of relevant legal and cultural terms. ``(The guide) provides an excellent opportunity for licensees of the Law Society to learn more about serving our Indigenous Peoples, as it is the responsibility of lawyers to provide good, competent services to all Ontarians,'' Law Society treasurer Paul Schabas said in a statement. The Law Society said the guide, produced in partnership with the Indigenous Bar Association and an independent legal organization called the Advocates' Society, is a response to calls by the

Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 2015 final report. The document recommended Canadian law societies ``ensure that lawyers receive appropriate cultural competency training, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal-Crown relations (requiring) skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.'' The Truth and Reconciliation Commission _ struck to address the lasting legacy of residential schools _ was influenced in its calls to action by the experiences of residential school survivors, said Emily Hill, Interim Legal Advocacy Director at Aboriginal Legal Services in Toronto. ``The Truth and Reconciliation Commission came to understand that...people who had experienced physical and sexual abuse in residential schools and then had to go through the court process found that to be very difCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Safety tips for running if you’re just starting out Running is a great way to stay physically healthy and has roots in our Haudenosaunee culture. Traditionally messagecarriers between villages would be referred to as “runners”. These weren’t just any kind of helper. A runner was a very important job because you had to have the stamina to run from village to village. But you also had to have the memory and reputation to bring forward the message correctly, truthfully, and on time. Some might say that runners were the very first journalists in the Haudenosaunee world. If you are thinking of running as a way to stay fit here are some things you should know. All you need is a pair of sneakers and an open pathway to start running. However up to half of all runners will experience an injury every year. Running on hard surfaces increases the possibility for injury to your legs and back. Sprained ankles, tendonitis and shin splints are common complaints.

To avoid the risk of being injured make sure you have proper running shoes and tie them to your foot snug, not tight. You don’t want your foot slipping around in your shoe — but you also don’t want to impede circulation. Warm up before you begin by doing some simple stretches. Don’t forget to stretch the legs, shoulders, back and hips as well. Take precautions when it comes to the weather. You don’t want to plan a long run if the humidex is going to be too high. Stay hydrated. But don’t chug water before a run. Take small sips before, during and after to rehydrate your body. If you notice any sign of trouble: sudden sharp pains or difficulty breathing — stop and deal with it. Ignoring warning signs can only lead to bigger problems down the road.

Annual race honours memory of Canada’s first professional athlete Tom Longboat Run coming to Ohsweken June 4

OHSWEKEN — The streets of Ohsweken will be the stage for the 18th annual Tom Longboat Run this coming Monday. The annual run will take place along Fourth Line extending from the Six Nations Community Hall, west to Mohawk Road and back again. One of Longboats great great neices, Cindy Martin, is participating in this year’s event again and is asking people in the community to ensure their dogs are tied up or kept inside during the run. “Were going to be sending out notices on Friday to let people know that the roads will be closed. On Monday June 4 from 10 to noon. From Mohawk Road to Lawrence Jonathan lane,” said Martin. “We have a number of youth that are coming from Jamieson and I.L. Thomas school and we want everyone to have a safe fun time.” “We encourage people to come out and support, to sit on their lawns and run out and say hi. People are coming from Toronto to participate,” says Martin. Toronto’s Longboat runners will be there, as well as Longboats direct descendants — his daughter and grandson. In 2008, the province of Ontario passed the Tom Longboat Day Act declaring each June 4th Tom Longboat Day. Longboat has a remarkable story not only of being a fast runner — but a World War Veteran, an indigenous rights advocate, a residential school survivor and is noted as Canada’s first ever professional athlete. The Tom Longboat Run will start at 10am on Monday June 4th at the Six Nations Community Hall. For more information please see tomlongboat.ca

Enbridge seeks deal with Mohawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

through Line 3 each day. The Environmental Office at Leech Lake calls this a "horrific recommendation" and they will stop it if they can. When it comes to Akwesasne there is another concern. Enbridge transports gas taken from the earth by hydrofracking, a process which uses hundreds of millions of gallons of water to force gas from deep within the earth to the surface. The effects on communities in places such as northern Pennsylvania has been well documented with others claiming hydrofracking is causing earthquakes in Oklahoma and Missouri. Enbridge takes that gas from the

Marcellus field through its lines across Ontario and north of Cornwall. It may well claim the pumping is safe but New York State refused to allow a pipeline across the southeastern part its territory, a decision upheld last week by the US Supreme Court. If New York State, with all of its environmental safeguards rejects these pipelines as unsafe does that not send an alarm to Akwesasne? It is not as if we do not know the impact of extracting oil a and gas from within the earth-those things were placed there by the Creator and we were warned to leave them buried with devastating consequences if we brought them to the surface.

It is clear there are alternatives to using Enbridge's "natural" gas for our homes. We can reduce costs by increasing efficiency or attaching solar and wind power to every district. We can abide by our ancestral morals and reject the Enbridge deal by moving to secure power from our waters. Or we can overturn the support the Mohawks pledged to our Native friends and allies and make a deal with a company which is particularly hostile to indigenous peoples. In the end, it is not within the power of any council to make this decision-it is for the people to make this determination.

not the Governor General act upon the advice of his Cabinet, which is a part of the privy Council? A: I will answer your question, Mr. Barr, by asking you a question. If it came to matters of real importance, would you not, even if you were a dictator, take the advice of your Cabinet? Q: That would likely be the course anyone would take. But would it be fair then to say that in common practice in Canada as it has developed, the Governor General is supposed by the average man to act on the advice of that portion of the Privy Council constituting the Cabinet for the time being, but legally if it came to an issue as between what the representatives of the people wanted on the one hand and what the Governor General felt was necessary on the other in the matter of Imperial policy, his viewpoint would prevail in spite of

the recommendations of the privy Council or any members thereof? A: The popular conception is that the Governor General acts upon the advice of his Privy Council for Canada but I know of many instances in Ottawa where the Governor General has acted without consulting any of the members of His Majesty’s Privy Council or of the King’s Privy Council for Canada—using his prerogative which is given in section 12 of the British North America Act-that he may act individually as the case requires. Q: If required, could you give specific instances, Mr. Smith, to prove this statement? A: I could. CABINET JURISDICTION:

The Cabinet consists of what are commonly spoken of “Minister of the Crown”, each with a portfolio, having charge of certain departments of Government. The Cabinet,

with the Prime Minister, are generally spoken of as “the Government”, as distinct from the House of Commons itself. Q: What is their jurisdiction Mr. Smith? A: Individually each member of the Cabinet is given a specific task to perform. They are chosen and appointed to their positions by the governor General and are generally elected members. But it will be remembered that after the election of 1935 Mr. Dunning was appointed as Minister of Finance before he had a seat as an elected member of the House of Commons. Any of their acts in the performance of their duties may be nullified by the Governor General or the member may be removed from office. As an instance of this, the R. Hon. MacKenzie King was removed by Lord Byng and Arthur Meighen appointed to his position of the first Minister of the King’s Privy Council for Canada.

Gardening is this year’s top activity for mental health and a great way for getting in some self-care time. Planting a tree is a great way to leave your mark in the world and grow a legacy. But how do you plant a tree? What kind of trees are native to the area and where should you plant them? Here are some helpful tips to get you started and a list of native trees that will grow well in Southern Ontario. Call before you dig. Make sure there are no underground utilities where you plan on planting. Handle your tree carefully. Lift only by the rootball and not the trunk. Keep roots damp until you are ready to plant. Dig a large hole. Rule of thumb is to dig 2 to 5 times wider than the diameter of the root ball with downward sloping sides. And deep enough for roots to be buried by at least two inches. Use good soil for fill. Unless you are dealing with clay refill the hole with native soil. Tamp it down to fill large air pockets. Cover the topsoil with 2-3 inches of mulch. This prevents weed growth that could rob the tree of nutrients.

Built by the hands of local carpenters, construction on the beautiful replica called Ganọhsa’ọweh, “original house,” began in October of 2016 and finalized in August of 2017. The Longhouse project itself has been presented under the name of Kahyonhakta, which means “By the River.” And although having already been used for tours, the replica received its grand opening last Thursday during Community Awareness Week. The day included activities such as corn pounding, parched corn mush making, group guided tours, outdoor and indoor traditional activities and refreshments. The open-

ing ceremony itself seen the opening and closing performed by Jock Hill, messages from the GRETI Board Elijah Williams, recognition of the builders and funders by Carole Smith and Master of Ceremonies Kerdo Deer. When asked about the longhouse and it’s purpose, Deer explained that “it’s not a ceremonial space” as many might believe. “It’s purely for educational and tourism purposes,” said Deer. “So that’s what we’ve been using it for as well as programming, and a lot of the programs are educational programs, especially through GREAT, but a lot of other programs have come through.” He said that several language programs within and outside of the Six Nations community have utilized the space and replica as a means of learning, as have non-indigenous visitors. And along with hosting indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day, one of the favourites Deer said

was “double ball.” “It’s a traditional game that was played and it’s very similar to lacrosse.” Using a split stick or a stick with two ends, players pick up and throw two balls connected by a long string called a double-ball, with the aim being to get the double-ball wrapped around a post to claim a point. Some Six Nations residents refer to the game as "Ding-ball." But behind the scenes at the activities and helping to keep the day organized were volunteers and staff at Kayanase, including Cultural Interpreter and Guide Dexter Jimerson, who began as a summer student in the Kayanase Greenhouse before the construction of Ganọhsa’ọweh. “We want the community to come and be a part of it as well as guests and visitors,” said Jimerson. “We use this facility as a tool to teach visitors and guests about us because we have a very distinctive culture and there are so many distinctive people that have come from within our culture that should be shared.” He explained that all of the information being taught within the space is backed by archives as well as traditional and oral teachings, and each subject has been researched diligently. As being raised

traditionally and attending Longhouse himself, he explained that there isn’t anyone better to teach the subject. “We’re the Longhouse people, teaching about the Longhouse people,” he said. “And we try to create a whole ‘day in the life,’ so that visitors can see what it was like just before contact.” And this experience gives visitors a broader understanding of not only the longhouse itself, but also how the Haudenosaunee thrived. He noted that visitors tend to make note of how large the space is. However, a 17th century village would have consisted of more than five longhouses with each surrounded by full palisades, and each individual longhouse would have held a single lineage of a family that could have been comprised of over 100 members. “What we teach here is kind of universal, because it’s been so forgotten and so oppressed,” he said. “We’re just trying to teach people about it in the right way.” One of his most memorable tours, said Jimerson, was when Oneida Language Program students visited the space. “They were really grate-

ful to be at the longhouse and to us just to be there with them,” he said. “They made it the best tour because they were thankful to us for just taking time to help and teach them.” “They all gave me a hug at the end,” he said. “The teachers all gave me a hug because I knew them, but then the kids lined up and gave me a hug too.” It is hoped that more tours will flow in as the opening has finalized.

The replica itself was financed by Grand River Employment and Training, and the project overall was incepted in the hopes of creating a space to teach and learn Haudenosaunee culture and history through appropriate cultural representation. It has and will continue to do just that. In the near future a Turtle Garden is in the midst as an addition to Kahyonhakta.

Young Six Nations Arrows down Jr. A league leaders 11-5 Despite fielding Rebels star Toronto Beaches still succumb to Arrows onslaught

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Austin Staats and Owen S Hill led the Six Nations Arrows to an 11-5 win over the first place Toronto Beaches at the ILA Sunday evening, handing TO its first loss of the new season. It was also a welcome win for the Arrows who are not starting the season with the usual early season success, settling for a 2-20 record after four games. “I think we lost 12 guys from last season,” says assistant captain, Austin Staats. “We are very young this year and our younger guys are going to have to fill the spots we lost and step up to the plate when we need it.” While recognizing this year’s team might be a little less experienced, Staats is impressed with some of the new sticks on the bench. Sunday’s win was important that way too. There are still players to come, but giving some rookies a shot will only pay dividends later. So early and with so many unproven Jr. A players rotating through the lineup, Staats recognized that finding that bonding chemistry may still be a few weeks off. But the Toronto Beaches are no slugs. They are still first place with six teams backed up behind them all with six points. The Arrows are only four games into the season and are two wins and two losses for four points, but with games in hand. Staats is not concerned at this point and realizes

for the only two goals of the second period with his third and fourth of the game. Toronto is in first place for a reason and they came out hungry in the third scoring at 1:08 to pull up closer behind the Arrows, 6-4. Austin Staats closed down any thoughts of a Beaches comeback on a powerplay. The Beaches were not finished quite yet and scored at 9:51. Staats and Longboat demoralized Toronto with late-game goals, both shorthanded for the 11-5 Six Nations win. Drayden Patey earned the win in the Arrows net. Thursday night, May 31st, the Arrows will host the Whitby Warriors at the ILA, at 8 pm. From there, they will be on the road against the Beaches in what could be a very important early season matchup that could give the Arrows in a familiar vantage point from atop the Jr. A. Sunday June 3rd, the Arrows are back home for a date with the Burlington Chiefs.

the season is long enough to overcome the bad start, by Arrows standards. “We’re a playoff team,” says Staats. “We normally have all that figured out by the time we get to the playoffs.” Owen S. Hill has started

his third season in an Arrows jersey and has stepped up to take more of a leadership role on this young team. Hill scored first, 3:11 into the game, but Tristan Hanna answered at 4:09. Former Six Nations Rebels

star Layne Smith chose to play off-reserve this season and was in the Beaches lineup wearing no. 17, and scored Toronto’s go-ahead goal to make it 2-1. Smith’s goal seemed to stimulate the Arrows who

fired back with goals by AP player Kobe Whitcomb, Hill’s second of the period, and Leland Powless, also a call-up. Travis Longboat and Jamie Dilks closed the period with the Arrows ahead 6-3. Owen S Hill accounted

SIX NATIONS – After a late start to the season, the Six Nations Arrows are finding their legs as the young seasons matures. Saturday, the Arrows suffered their second loss of the season, with very close checking 5-4 final score at the Mimico Arena in favour of the Mountaineers. Austin Staats squeezed an Arrows goal between two Mountaineers markers in the first period, and it was 4-4 after two periods with Arrows’ Owen S Hill, Austin Staats, and Travis Longboat drawing even with 20 minutes left. Both goalies, boarded up their nets in the third period until 7:47 when Mimico’s Thomas McConvey put the Mountaineers up 5-4 with lots of time left. But the Arrows could not buy a goal in the third period as Mimico hung on to the 5-4 win. Last Thursday, the Arrows had recovered from their misfire start to the season and took it out on the Mimico Mountaineers. Mimico scored first but this time the Arrows seemed much more prepared for the game and took the 15-11 win. It was 4-1 in Six Nations favour at the end of the first period. The Arrows offence opened up in the second with 12 goals scored in

total, seven of them by the Arrows. Arrows fans got to see what this year’s Arrows have to offer in the early going with many new faces replacing a number of last year’s now overage stars. The Mountaineers outscored the Arrows in the third, but they had built a big enough buttress against the desperate Mountaineers. A late Mimico goal made the final score a little closer but the Arrows hung on for the 15-11 win. AP players helped fill the Arrows bench and also made an impact on the score. Kobe Whitcomb scored three and assisted on three for a six-point game. But it. Was the leadership of Austin Staats that carried the Arrows offence with a 10-point night (4G,6A). Travis Longboat is also having a great start scoring two and assisting on four, while Jeremy Bomberry scored two and assisted on one. Other Six Nations point-getters were Myles Jacobs (1G,1A), John Wagner (1G,2A), Wake:Riat Bowhunter (1G), Jerry Staats (1A), and Percy Booth (2A). Goalie Keron Dickson earned the win. The Arrows will be busy for a while as they catch up to the rest of the league which started while Six Nations awaited the annual Bread and Cheese Game to begin their season. The Six Nations

It was a less than impressive debut, losing 5-2 in a not-so-well-played Jr. A lacrosse match with the St. Catharines Athletics at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena at Six Nations. Travis Longboat recorded the first Arrows goal of the new season from Brayden May and Jerry. Staats at 5:54 of the first period. The A’s, who lost their season opener last week, scored the last two goals of the period with Kyler Kilgour and Jake McNabb scoring late to take a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Jerry Staats opened the second unassisted, but Jake McNabb scored his second and third of the game for St. Kitts before the end of the second to increase their lead to 4-2. After The A’s scored 54 seconds into the third period, and the Athletics controlled the ball throughout the third. St. Kitts goalie Nick Damude registered the win while Six Nations’ Drayden Pately suffered the loss.

SIX NATIONS — According to the scoreboards at either end of the ILA, the final score of Saturday’s Jr. C “lacrosse game” at the ILA between the Six Nations Warriors and the visiting Caledon Bandits was 8-1 in Six Nations favour. But whether it was out of compassion or guilt, the scorekeeper didn’t ring up the next 11 Six Nations goals on the scoreboard but he certainly registered them all on the official game sheet. In reality the Warriors won it 19-1. “I don’t even know what the score was,” said Warriors coach Jay Smith following the game. “I know, last night (against Brantford) we were handed our first loss of the season. “I just told the boys, yesterday is yesterday, learn from it and make these guys pay today, which they did.” But even so, Smith is reluctant to criticize the Caledon organization giving the Bandits credit for

not giving up, but at the same time, he flogged his own horse all game long explaining afterwards that he didn’t want any bad habits developing against a team like Caledon. Jon Perry-Smith was certainly having fun as he led the Warriors offence with four goals and four assists. Harley VanEvery scored three and assist-

ed on two, Jordan Myke scored three and assisted on one. Shane Henry (2G,3A), Logan Anderson (2G), Dehas Powless (2G), Doug Powless (1G,3A), Julian Morneay (1G,3A), Matt Miller (2A), Sam Golands, 1A), Riley Jamieson (1A), and Todd Thomas Jr. (1A), also contributed. The lone Caledon goal was scored by Locus

Correia at 2:15 of the first period. The battle of the Warriors, part 2, was played at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, Friday, May 25th. In their first matchup of the 2018 season, Six Nations narrowly defeated Brantford way back on April 28th in the season opener. This time the Brantford Warriors

defeated the Six Nations Warriors, handily, 11-5. Coach Smith took the loss in stride. “We were without both of our goalies,” he explains. “We had quite a few call ups that were not used to the game at this level. But it is what it is, and we still sit pretty lofty on top.” At the Jr. C level of the

game, there is usually a lot of movement as players prove themselves and move up to Jr. B, but there is always a spin of new talent bubbling at Six Nations. Brantford pushed Six Nations to 6-2 in the first period, taking advantage of an ill prepared Six Nations Warriors with Brantford’s Connor Merritt scoring two and assisting on two lead the Brantford offence. Max Lewis score three, while Cole Robillard put in two and set up three. Quinn Drysdale also scored twice for Brantford. Two goals by Tyrese Staats, and single goals by Jaxon Martin, and Todd Thomas Jr., counted for all the Six Nations offence. The SN Warriors now top the Western Division with seven wins and one loss. Shane Henry is on fire early with 17 goals and 18 assists for 35 points. Jaxon Martin is next with 13 goals and 15 assists in eight games played. Coming up for the SN Warriors this week is a road game to Fergus, Saturday, at 8 pm,

Saskatchewan Rush past Knighthawks in Game no.1 STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Rochester Knighthawks dropped Game One of the National Lacrosse League Finals, 16-9, to the Saskatchewan Rush Saturday night at SaskTel Centre. The Rush now has a one-game lead in the best-of-three series. “We have to regroup and get ready for the next game,” said Knighthawks rookie Eric Fannell, who finished with two goals and two assists. Rochester also received four-point efforts from Kyle Jackson (1+3) and Joe Resetarits (1+3). The Knighthawks were led by a six-point performance from Cody Jamieson, who posted one goal and five assists. His goal at 4:40 of the second gave the Knighthawks a 4-3 lead, which was their last of the evening. The tally tied him for second place on the team’s all-time

goal-scoring list with Mike Accursi with 28. “We were moving the ball well and moving our feet,” said Jamieson about Rochester’s success early in the game. “When we didn’t do that, they got in passing lanes and picked off passes. They are a really good team, and we have to play at our best to beat them.” The Rush broke the game open in the middle two quarters as they scored seven straight to take a 10-4 lead. Rochester, however, would not go away as it pulled within four three times in the second half. The Knighthawks flexed their offensive muscles in the third and fourth quarters as they scored four of the game’s six goals to trim the deficit to 12-8. Defensively, Matt Vinc faced 64 shots and made 48 saves. The NLL’s alltime playoff saves leader made 15 alone in the first quarter as each team scored twice in the open-

ing 15 minutes. “‘V’ had a great night for us; they had a lot of quality looks,” said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. “We have to stick to the plan and execute better. We are going to clean up a few things this week at practice and be better Saturday.” The Knighthawks will host Game Two on Saturday, June 2 at 8:00 p.m. at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross Arena. It’s an opportunity to even the series in a must-win game, which Rochester has become accustomed to this season. “It comes down to a do-or-die game. It seems weird because it’s a position we have been in all year,” said Jamieson. “We felt that way eight games into the season (when we were 2-6). We took the mindset that we couldn’t lose another game, and that every game was a must-win. It’s really like that right now; we can’t lose again."
