OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Community Hall opened its doors to get youth and elders interacting more and to bring awareness towards elder abuse. The hall hosted a free meal, information booths and positive activities to bring the younger and older generations closer. ϐ cer and Chair of the Youth and Elders Round Table Elissa Smith said the event is geared towards focusing on elder abuse awareness and prevention. “This is one of the things that we always promote at our events,” said Smith, as she grabbed a magnet listing hotlines geared toward empowering the elderly. “It says 'empowering our elders,' so it's all about stopping abuse and restoring respect to

the community. So, there's many different types of elder abuse and with a lot of these events we help to reduce isolation and just to raise awareness,” she said. Smith explained that the magnets allow elders to know that there is always help and are not alone, and the event is to bring the community together to learn and participate. “This is just an opportunity for anyone in the community to come together, have a meal, learn about combating elder abuse most importantly, and enjoy some wellness activities,” she said. “Tonight there's massage, foot massage, raiki, foot assessments, and craft station,” she said, including that Willy's World, Our Sustenance Farmers Market and Karen Hill.ca put

8AM - 9PM

up booths. “This is just to say that we are going to stand up to abuse in our community and not let it happen,” she said. As participants and visitors made their rounds to the various booths, many elders sat down to enjoy the atmosphere. Of these elders included Rodd Hill, a member of the Youth and Elders Round Table. Hill said that he was “really excited” about the event for its focus on connecting youth to the elders. “It's a really good feeling. You get to see the faces of the elders when they leave or after the meal they put on,” said Hill. “It shows [the elders] that we're still here for them.” “We talk about looking after our elders, but we have to do what we preach

now,” he said. Dz ϐ hesitant, but after I joined it I loved it,” he said. “I love being a part of this and doing something for the community, it's an awesome feeling to be able to do that.” Behind the scenes of the event were not only community sponsors, but also community volunteers from the Healthy Spirits Youth Group. Volunteer Mackenzie Bomberry said the event “was really nice” as she helped cook and clean alongside many others. “It's nice for the elders because they [might not get out like this much],” said Bomberry. “But I would like more youth to come and support the elders and just get involved.”

SIX NATIONS – It may be time to remind motorists of the law regarding school buses, after a recent incident involving a school bus and a passing motorist was brought to the Two Row Time’s attention. The incident occurred when a local child was exiting the school bus, lights Ď?Žƒ•Š‹Â?‰ ƒÂ?† ”ƒ‹Ž †‡’Ž‘›‡†ǥ when a motorist tried to pass the bus. The unknown motorist suddenly noticed that the bus was ‘ˆĎ?Ž‘ƒ†‹Â?‰ ƒ ›‘—Â?‰ ’ƒ•senger and slammed on his breaks leaving a long skid mark. Fortunately, the vehicle stopped before the required 20 metre safety zone, but the sound of the screeching tires scared the youngster. When the child told his mother, she called the bus line to see if the incident was reported. It was not. Upon inquiry, the driver stated that since the vehicle did stop before intruding into the safety zone and therefore there was nothing to report. This incident could easily have been much, much worse. The following is the law regarding passing of school buses and

we encourage our readers to know and understand this important law to keep children in the community safe. School bus stop laws are laws dictating what a motorist must do in the vicinity of a bus stop being used by a school bus or other bus, coach or minibus providing school transport. Š‡ Œ—•–‹Ď?‹…ƒ–‹‘Â?• ˆ‘” this protocol are: – Children, especially the younger ones, have normally not yet developed the mental capacity to fully comprehend the hazards and consequences of street-crossing, and under U.S. laws, a child cannot legally be held accountable for negligence. For the same reason, adult crossing guards often are deployed in walking zones between homes and schools. – It is impractical in many cases to avoid children crossing the travelled portions of roadways after leaving a school bus or to have an adult accompany them. – The size of a school bus generally limits visibility for both the children and motorists during loading and unloading. School bus stop laws

The school bus stop laws in Canada are usually based on 11-705 of the 1992 Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC) excerpted below: UVC 11-705(a) The driver of a vehicle meeting or overtaking from either direction any school bus that meets the colour and iden–‹Ď?‹…ƒ–‹‘Â? ”‡“—‹”‡Â?‡Â?–• ‘ˆ 12-222(a), (b) and (c) of this code stopped on the highway shall stop before reaching such school bus when there is in operation on said school bus the Ď?Žƒ•Š‹Â?‰ ”‡† Ž‹‰Š–• •’‡…‹Ď?‹‡† ‹Â? ͳʹnjʹʹʹČ‹ÂƒČŒ ƒÂ?† •ƒ‹† driver shall not proceed until such school bus re•—Â?‡• Â?‘–‹‘Â? ‘” –Š‡ Ď?Žƒ•Šing red lights are no longer actuated. Different from UVC 11705(b), many places re“—‹”‡ ”‡† Ž‹‰Š–• Ď?Žƒ•Š‡† whenever getting on or off children. Even if school bus drivers may signal –”ƒˆĎ?‹… –‘ ’”‘…‡‡† ’ƒ•– Ď?Žƒ•Š‹Â?‰ ”‡† Ž‹‰Š–•ǥ –Š‡› may fail to exercise this authority and excessively „Ž‘…Â? –”ƒˆĎ?‹…Ǥ UVC 11-705(c) The driver of a vehicle upon a highway with separate roadways need not stop upon meeting or passing a school bus which is on a different roadway or when upon a controlled-access

highway and the school bus is stopped in a loading zone which is a part of or adjacent to such highway and where pedestrians are not permitted to cross the roadway. The following data talks about the law in this regard states that danger of passing stopped school buses depends on many factors. Common ranks of potential dangers from passing stopped school buses are provided with the most dangerous one Ž‹•–‡† Ď?‹”•–ǣ 1. Passing on the side that a child gets on or off a bus is the most dangerous. 2. Passing more than 7 kilometres per hour while a child crosses a road to get on or off a school bus may not allow stopping in time. 3. Overtaking more than 7 kilometres per hour directly next to a stopped school bus. 4. Passing more than 7 kilometres per hour in the opposite direction directly next to a stopped school bus. 5. Overtaking more than 3 metres away from a stopped school bus. 6. Passing in the opposite direction, 3 metres or more away from a bus is the least dangerous.

The incident resulted in legal action against two members of the Men’s Fire, yet to be heard in court.

Discovery is when both parties reveal their evidence relative to their cases to one another prior to a court appearance.

OPINION Boyden: an imposter under Native Law

Standing UP

By Doug George-Kanentiio

(',725,$/ %< 1$+1'$ *$5/2:

On February 22nd, people across Canada will be wearing pink shirts to make a stand against bullying in their communities, schools and in the workplace. The Two Row Times, in partnership with Jukasa Radio and the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation believe that every boy and girl, man and woman have the right to live in a bully-free zone. This year, Good Minds Stand Up is giving an opportunity for indigenous people to share traditional values and teachings in conjunction with that national campaign. Throughout the month, we will be sharing teachings and stories about how to combat and overcome bullying — as well as some activities that can be utilized in the home or classroom. We’ll also be looking at how four traditional teachings surrounding core values can bring dignity so you can overcome bullies; focusing on truth, worth, generosity and compassion. In addition to our exclusive weekly content we’ll be distributing our own awesome pink shirts for you to wear on ʹʹ Ǥ ϐ details on how to get a shirt in the Good Minds Stand Up special section on page 24 & 25 of this issue. Also, tune into Six Nations hottest station for Top 40 Hits, Hip Hop and R&B at Jukasa Radio 93.5 FM either over the air, online, or through the free Jukasa Radio smartphone app on Wednesday nights at 7pm during TRT’s Smoke Signals broadcast for a chance to win some excellent prizes and hear stories about people who have

overcome bullying. This is open to First Nations and our friends from all diverse circles across our coverage area – so get connected. Reach out to one another and encourage one another to stand up to bullying! Stand up when you are being bullied. Stand up when someone else is being bullied and we just might turn the tide so we can all overcome the reign of the bully together. The Two Row Times would like to thank the Dreamcatcher Foundation for their continued support of the Good Minds Stand Up campaign.

Good minds stand up for those around them. Good minds stand up and tell bullies to stop. Good minds stand up when no one else will. Good minds stand up and refuse to react to anger with anger. Good minds stand up for those who can’t for themselves. Good minds stand up even when they’re scared. Good minds stand up and band together. Good minds stand up and are stronger together. Good minds stand up and speak the truth in love. Good minds stand up for what is right. Good minds stand up to end bullying.

According to the customs of the Mohawk Nation, the author Joseph Boyden is a fraud, an imposter, an imposition and an impediment. One who has exploited a mythical indigenous identity for material gain. In the U.S., there is a law, the Indian Acts and Crafts Act of 1990, which makes it illegal for any individual to market native works of art when that person is not a member of an aboriginal nation. Fines upon conviction can be as high as ̈́ʹͷͲǡͲͲͲ ϐ Ǧ prison term. Canada needs to enact a similar law to prosecute and punish those who extract a ϐ the pretense of being native. When these charlatans knowingly do so they cause harm to natives by eclipsing our work or by claiming to speak on our behalf and thereby presenting a false narrative as to who we are. During my tenure as editor of the journal Akwesasne Notes from 1986 to 1992, the largest Native publication in North America at the time, I published a number of essays in which we exposed these frauds and summarized the harm they caused. Boyden is but one of a long list of impersonators, from Archibald Belaney (Grey Owl) to Espera de Corti (Iron Eyes Cody). Both of these imposters took away opportunities for natives; Belaney as an author and de Corti as an actor. Others have passed themselves off as native inspired spiritual advisors, the ‘plastic medicine men’ who use elements of our ancestral healing methods to seduce those in

need. One extreme example of us ϐ is James Arthur Ray, the Arizona based ‘new ager’ who caused the death of three people, by heatstroke and organ failure, in October, 2009 after he charged $10,000 per person to participate in a sweat lodge ‘ceremony’. Ray spent two years in jail but is back in business. Boyden is a fraud according to Mohawk laws and customs. His book Orenda is an example of a talented individual who lacks any understanding as to our heritage and exploits popular stereotypes and outrights lies about us to make a mark for himself in Canadian literature. Boyden meets none of the membership standards for any native nation. Under our Mohawk rules a person must have four great grandparents who are unquestionably aboriginal. They must be accepted as native by one of our seven Mohawk communities. They must demonstrate a commitment to the preservation of Mohawk culture and they are required to have a strong familial connection. And they must have good character. These rules have been set in place in response to the powerful social changes ϐ society for the past generation. They are meant to give us security, stability and continuity-values which Canadians seek not only to preserve among themselves but to impress upon those who are new citizens. Boyden, and others like him, breach those principles. ϐ our history, the ones who are held as representatives of our

ideals, our current status, of who we are as distinct peoples. No native nation gave Boyden that task. He speaks for none of us and he hurts us when he pretends to be one of us. Boyden and others like him make these unsubstantiated claims, then are given ϐ by a Canadian society which should know better. It is easy ϐ aboriginal identity by contacting the native nation an individual cites as their own — if that nation denies membership, under their traditional laws and customs, then the person is not native. Those who claim native heritage may have some kind of weak biological strand but it is not enough. A person may claim Canadian status but without documentation this does not meet the social or le ϐ Ǥ As for Boyden, perhaps he should take a DNA test and if he believes he is native take his case to those he claims to come from and let them decide. Until then he becomes an unnecessary burden for us all. Doug George-Kanentiio, Akwesasne Mohawk, is the vice-president of the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge.

Help the people, not the knock-offs By Chezney Martin

ϐ to Santa Fe, New Mexico, my family's kind and openhearted Hopi friends told us to “not purchase Kachina dolls” when we visited souvenir shops. I had no idea what they were. When it was explained to me, I could compare the Kachina dolls importance to the Haudenosaunee Hatonih, or False Face Mask. And you know, it was a simple request to follow because at the time I would never want to disrespect another culture or belief system. Allow me to explain. Many hear the term spirituality and an image

of a mainstream Buddha sitting cross-legged and rhythmically humming the marginalized “uhm,” will pop up into their head. They might think of being ‘zen’, doing yoga to be balanced and going ϐ thing. But that's just it. We live in a material world; nobody can blame the slight indifference many have to the matters of the spirit because it isn't something tangible and material. Spirit isn't something we can measure or even grab onto, but it is something that can be felt. As native people our culture, our history, our old ways of life, our languages and teachings have always directed us

at looking outside of ourselves. Everything that we are directs us to being connected with the world around us and our families. That is the core of our spirituality. This is especially shown in ceremony. When we enter ceremony, every part of that ceremony is sacred and respected in different ways depending on the protocol. The ceremony could bring the people together, could heal an ailment or even honour creation. Our medicines each have societies people become a part of when they need healing. I will not be explaining these medicinal ceremonies, but understand that they are powerful.

This is why indigenous people — like myself — get so cheesed off when people on the outside don't care when they indirectly disrespect or tarnish indigenous superstitions, practices or ceremonies. One of the most common ceremonial pieces to be claimed as “mainstream” and is openly tarnished is our False Face Mask. A listing on Kijiji was brought to my attention not even a week ago promising an “Iroquois False Face Society Mask” and it didn't anger me, but it does concern me. When I was little I was told that in rough times, Haudenosaunee people decided to sell little or ϐ

that looked like our Hatonih masks to tourists to make money. This was done because the money was needed and the demand was high as European fascination with “savage culture” piqued. But today, the less they are purchased, the less they are sold. So perhaps I should speak directly to the demand. If you are not Haudenosaunee, you likely don't understand or feel the importance of our medicine masks and therefore do not need to purchase one to hang in your home.

ǡ ϐ one of our masks would likely bring negativity upon you. So, allow me to sug-

gest the purchase of something not based on a powerful ceremony. Purchase a painting, or a horn rattle to hang on your wall, or better yet a water drum to sit on your decorative hope chest. And don't just get it from some shop that's probably selling you plastic imitations, get it from the real people. Not only would you be supporting an indigenous artisan, but you would also be avoiding disrespecting something sacred to a culture of living and breathing people. To top it off, you wouldn't be supporting knock offs made by non-indigenous people looking to make a buck off of “being native”.

Is Kevin O’Leary a Trump wannabe? By Jim Windle OTTAWA – There is a dark shadow looming over the Canadian border from the south ever since the election of President Donald Trump, and it isn’t only an American problem. The only saving mercy those of us who identify as Canadians can grasp for is the timing of it all. What if the reign of Donald Trump and that of Stephen Harper lined up in history? The subsequent marriage of these two money-driven, anti-environmental, global warming deniers and pro-big oil leaders would make Trump’s wife Melania jealous. We dodged that bullet — for now anyhow. Now, just like successful American TV shows all somehow have to follow with a weaker sister spin-off like Canadian Idol, Canadian Pickers, or Canada’s Got Talent — Canada now has its own Donald Trump-esque spin-off seeking Canada’s top spot. Bombastic Canadian multi-millionaire businessman, author, and TV personality Kevin O’Leary wants to use the “wake of the incomprehensible” that has taken place in America, to sweep him into power as the leader of the Conservative Party and potentially Prime Minister. If those planets align, O’Leary would likely become Trump’s mini-me, or his envious poor northern cousin that he can throw a few bones to from time to time. Within no time there would be more ϐ pipes connected to the Wanamaker Organ, which has 28,482 pipes. For water and land protectors, the pending war has only begun for those stand-

Members of the previous panel stepped down last fall out of concerns

Review by Jim Ward Oronhyatekha was a key and controversial ab‘”‹‰‹Â?ƒŽ Ď?‹‰—”‡ ‹Â? ͳ͝–Š Century Canada. He was connected with important people both in the aboriginal and non-aboriginal worlds. He was born in 1841 on the Six Nations Reserve, a time before there was such an entity as the nation of Canada.

The basics and safety tips for driving with trailers behind your vehicle Submitted article Active adults and busy families understand that one perk to owning a pickup truck or an SUV is the ability to tow items behind the vehicle. Many of these trucks already come equipped with trailer hitches that make it possible to tow boats, RVs, snowmobiles and more. But safe and successful towing requires knowledge of the basics of hitching a trailer and some special rules of the road. The following are a few safety tips for drivers unaccustomed to towing. · Know your vehicle's tow weight capacity. The owner's manual will list the maximum weight a vehicle can tow safely, but ϐ timation of data. To tow successfully, it's important to know your vehicle's gross combined weight rating. This includes the vehicle itself, its passengers and cargo, as well as the trailer and the trailer's cargo. More passengers on board reduces the amount of weight you can pull.

· Practice proper weight distribution. Distribute the weight of the item being towed to make towing smoother and safer. The cargo's centre of gravity should be low, and most of the weight should be toward the front. Weight on either side also should be even. These steps will help prevent the trailer ϐ ϐ ping over. · Use the right hitch equipment. Adjust the hitch so that the trailer being towed is relatively level to your vehicle when attached. Connect lights to your trailer through the hitch system so that brake lights and other indicators work properly. Make sure the hitch ball is the right size for your trailer, otherwise the trailer might disconnect during towing. Use a pin and safety chains to keep the trailer secure. · Check if extra brakes are required. Many states require a separate braking system on towed vehicles with a loaded weight in excess of 1,000 pounds. Newer trucks may have a built-in controller for

brakes or you may need to have a system installed. Experts from Popular Mechanics advise using a trailer brake output system that matches the

trailer brake output to the tow vehicle's deceleration. · Avoid backing up. Unless you're experienced with driving large rigs, ϐ

slowly and with your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, turning it in the direction you want the trailer to go.

Nova Scotia judge sides with Mi'kmaq band on gas storage project appeal The Canadian Press HALIFAX — A Mi'kmaq band has won a victory in its battle against an energy company's plan to store natural gas in underground caverns in central Nova Scotia. In a written decision released Monday, a provincial Supreme Court judge quashed the province's rejection of the Indian Brook band's appeal of the plan, saying the band was denied procedural fairness. Justice Suzanne Hood ruled the province wrongly refused the band's request to review and respond to reports on the project by the Nova ϐ Affairs and the Environment Department. Indian Brook argues Alton Natural Gas Stor ̵ ϐ to create storage caverns near Stewiacke poses an environmental risk to the nearby Shubenacadie River. Hood says the band was repeatedly denied access to a 30-page interim report written by provincial environment project leader Glen Warner and submitted to Environment Minister Margaret Miller on the same date she denied the band's appeal in April 2016. ``As a result I conclude

the decision of the minister should be quashed,'' said Hood. ``It was not procedurally fair in the circumstances of this case, in that there was a refusal to allow Sipekne'katik (Indian Brook) to have a copy of and respond to the Warner report.'' Hood said the matter has been sent back to Miller to allow the band an opportunity to review Warner's report and ma ϐ Aboriginal Affairs ``on which Warner relied.'' Cheryl Maloney, a former Indian Brook councillor who helped organized protests against the project, welcomed the court's decision calling it a ``good day.'' ``We knew the appeal process wasn't being done correctly,'' said Maloney. But Maloney expressed disappointment the judge didn't address the government's duty to consult the Mi'kmaq. ``Those questions are still going to be unanswered for projects and developments in Nova Scotia and they are still going to be tested,'' she said. In her ruling, the judge said that by sending the matter back to Miller, ``it is unnecessary for me to deal with the issue of consultation.'' The issue of the prov-

ince's duty to consult proved controversial during the court hearing last November. Mi'kmaq groups expressed outrage when a Justice Department lawyer presented a legal brief that argued the province's obligation extended only to ``unconquered people.'' Premier Stephen McNeil later issued an apology, saying the brief didn't represent the province's position and government lawyer Alex Cameron was removed from the case. The offensive section of the brief was also removed from the government's argument. In her ruling Monday, the judge also declined to grant the band's request for a stay of Miller's project approval. ``I conclude I do not have the authority to deal with a stay while the matter is subject to appeal to the minister,'' wrote Hood. In an email, an Environment Department spokeswoman would only say the department would need more time to review the court decision. ``The company can continue operations at this point,'' said Krista Higdon. The controversial project was given the green light in January, 2016. It had been on hold since

late 2014 after Mi'kmaq protesters complained that the company had failed to consult with the local native community. At the time of the approval, Energy Minister Michel Samson said the government believed sci ϐ shown the project to be safe and that it didn't threaten the environment. Samson also said he ϐ ϐ consult with the Mi'kmaq. The project would see Alton develop salt caverns about 1,000 metres underground. The caverns would be linked by pipeline to the nearby Maritimes and Northeast pipeline. Last January's permits issued by the province were for the operation of a brine storage pond, for a lease of Crown land to complete the brine discharge channel, and agreement to construct a dike. In October the company, which is a subsidiary of Calgary-based AltaGas Ltd., said it would hold off on creating the underground caverns until sometime in 2017. A decision on when work will begin has not been made. In an emailed statement, Alton Gas said the court decision does not affect further project work. ``Alton respects the decision of the court and will work constructively with the government of Nova Scotia and Sipekne'katik First Nation to understand next steps. We remain committed to the project and to working closely with members of the Mi'kmaq community regarding environmental protection and com ϐ Ǥ̵​̵

Trudeau should stand up to Trump: NDP OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau should be standing up to Donald Trump, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Tuesday as he urged the prime minister to push back against the U.S. president's newly enshrined support for the Keystone XL pipeline. Mulcair says Keystone XL is the perfect opportunity for Trudeau to show resistance to Trump. Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to put both the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines back on. Mulcair says moving ahead with Keystone would be a ``massive error'' for Canada.

Healing program to be implemented in BC VANCOUVER — BC is hoping to reduce the over-representation of indigenous children in government care by introducing the Aboriginal Family Healing Court Conference pilot program. The program will include band elders in proceedings and offer supports families to create a healing plan with treatment options and cultural ceremonies to mark progress. Chief Clifford White of the Gitxaala Nation on B.C.'s northern coast says the initiative is indigenous led and hopes it can be used in future child welfare cases.

Canada`s Forgotten Founders:

The Modern Significance of the Haudenosaunee Application for Membership in the League of Nations By Grace Li Xiu Woo The following article originally appeared in the electronic law journal Law, Social Justice & Global Development in April 2003. It is a resume of research conducted for a Masters in International Law at the University of Quebec in Montreal. It has been broken up into several sections and the Two Row Times will print a different chapter each week. 1. Introduction Countries like Canada that are a product of the colonial process, are faced with a paradox. We have been attempting to reorient our laws to accord with modern equality rights without bothering to reevaluate the way our history was constructed during the age of imperial expansion and aggression. This paper seeks to address some of the resulting ambiguity by raising awareness of one pivotal event. Though omitted from most accounts of the 20th century, it deserves a prominent place in our collective memory, not only because of the light it casts on the development of Canada's national identity, but also because it provides a key to understanding why success eludes our well-meaning attempts to achieve both international peace and a solution for complex Indigenous rights issues. In 1923 the Haudenosaunee Confederacy applied for membership in the League of Nations. Better known to the English as the 'Iroquois Six Nations of Grand River' (now in Ontario), they were driven to take this initiative out of exasperation with the intrusive policies of Canada's Department of Indian Affairs. The Netherlands, Persia, Panama, Estonia and the Republic of Ireland all supported formal consideration of their application -- or at least of the issue of whether or not

it was receivable. Howev ǡ ϐ not want their actions subjected to external review. They were already facing court action for losing over CAD160, 000 of Six Nations trust funds through unauthorized investments and they had ϐ ϐ dence they needed to defend the legality of their policies, so they played on popular stereotypes to ridicule the Haudenosaunee claims. Through these means, they were able to engage the intervention of Britain, which was also potentially lia ϐ agement. The international dominance enjoyed by the British Empire at that time gave it the power needed to pressure Haudenosaunee supporters and prevent formal presentation of the evidence and legal arguments that favoured their claims. As a result, both the Canadian public and the international community were excluded from the decision-making pro ϐ Indigenous confederation was denied the opportunity to participate in world affairs on parity with other nations. The facts surrounding this incident are difϐ presumptions that are ϐ cultural mythology concerning the foundation of both Canada and the modern international order. Those involved -- the colonizer and the colonized -- see each other in such radically different terms that we do not even use the same words to describe our past and present selves. Yet, the perspective of the col ϐ the colonizer's archival records. In considering ϐ happened, it is worth remembering that most modern Canadians were born in or immigrated to Canada after the events recounted in this paper took place. We see our-

selves as an alternative to the United States and we have few ties to people who can remember that back in the 1920s, the 'Dominion' still held colonial status under English law. In those years, the immigrant majority came predominantly from Britain. As 'loyal subjects', they had no desire to leave the protection of the imperial 'motherland'. Their submissive mind set and hierarchical belief system contrasted sharply with the egalitarian philosophy of the Haudenosaunee, who used archival evidence to substantiate their claim to full independence. As they argued in their petitions, the 'Six Nations' had never been conquered and they had never accepted alien sovereignty. Since the time ϐ ǡ always insisted that they were allies, not subjects, of Britain. Now that British imperialism has faded to a distant memory, scholars are taking a second look at the past. The primacy accorded to equal ǡ ϐ international human rights and in the Canadian constitution, castes a different light on how the modern world took shape and it appears increasingly likely that we have underestimated the depth of the philosoph ϐ early Anglo-Indigenous encounters. The League of Nations incident is just one of many points of cultural collision. Yet, with the perspective afforded by time, the broad ϐ tions taken by Canada's Department of Indian Affairs to depose the traditional Haudenosaunee government is becoming increasingly apparent. These events occurred at the very moment when the Dominion of Canada ϐ tive steps towards establishing a limited autonomy of its own. And so, in this case at least, self-determination for Canada

was achieved, not in cooperation with Indigenous peoples (contrary to Canada, 1993 Partners in Confederation), but rather at the expense of their traditional autonomy. 2. The Introduction of Decolonization in International Law The primacy now given to the principle of equality is a major component in the reorientation of the concept of legality that emerged during the 20th century. Following World War I, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson captured international opinion by announcing that 'the day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone'. The League of Nations was soon established 'for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike' (Covenant of the League of Nations; Walters, 1960). Instead of dividing the conquered German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish empires among the victors, their constituent nations were either granted recognition as states, as in the case of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, or placed under mandate with a view to eventual independence. This led to a ϐ ̵ identity and the country began to look beyond the protection traditionally derived within the British Empire (Veatch, 1975; Lederman, 1984, p 340). Along with the other British 'dominions' (Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, South Africa and Ireland, which became a 'dominion' by treaty in 1920) Canada ϐ ingly advantageous to emphasize its state-like qualities (Veatch, 1975). This had serious consequences for the indigenous nations living on ϐ 'Canada' on British maps. From the Haudenosaunee perspective, their relationship was with

Britain and it had been established under the principle of 'Guswentah', the Two Row Wampum. According to an analogy that indigenous sources say was British in origin (Weaver, 1975, p 279), the parties were to conduct themselves like two boats sharing the same river, and it was agreed that neither would attempt to steer the other's vessel. (Canada, 1996a). With the founding of the League of Nations, international organization ϐ focus from imperial allegiance to territorial control by the resident population. Measures were instituted to help former colonies move towards independence and, though the implications of this reconceptualisation may not have been immediately apparent, Britain's 'dominions' found themselves under increasing pressure to follow suit. Canada had not established formal relations with the Haudenosaunee or any other indigenous nation. The treaties and agreements that had been signed in British North America had always been made on behalf of the British monarch (for example, see Canada, 1871); but in the new world order that began to take shape following World War I, the Dominion presumed authority over all of the territory north of the United States' boundary. In terms of the Two-Row Wampum concept, which had previously governed A ng lo-Haudenosaunee relations, it was as if the occupants of one boat laid claim to the whole river. ϐ this change in the international paradigm came to a head when the Haudenosaunee Confederacy applied for membership in the League of Nations. The few members of the dominant culture, who know of it; consider this incident an esoteric curiosity. However, special ϐ -

ϐ the modern international indigenous movement (Anaya, 1996, p 46) and it remains a beacon for indigenous-rights activists (see: Rickard; Sunkmanitu taka Isnala Najin; Mapuche Documentation Center; Cheshire; Sun Singer). What happened is almost impossible to reconcile with Canada's proud humanitarian reputation, derived in part from Raoul Dandurand's pioneering work on minority rights at the League (Hamelin, 1967; Stacey, 1981). Though Dandurand must have heard something about the incident, the Department of Indian Affairs was able to control the information he and his successors received, so Canadian decision-makers never fully understood the Haudenosaunee plight. In recent years, several accounts of what happened have been published (Veatch, 1975; Titley, 1986; Johnston, 1986; Rostkowski, 1987; Sanders; 1992); however, the implications are ignored. What happened simply ϐ and paste version of history we inherited from the colonial past. (See R. v. Marshall 1999; Dickinson and Gidney, 1987; Fisher, 1992; Ray 1990) Yet Canada depends on history to found the legality of its governmental structure. (Reference re Secession of Quebec 1998, at 49.) This ap ϐ oncile with the reorientation of international law to found human rights on the equality of all peoples, including those indigenous to colonial states. From the modern international perspective, the treatment meted out to the Haudenosaunee in the 1920's is beginning to make the actual function of Britain's much vaunted legal system look like a hallucination from Alice in Wonderland (Carroll, 1865).

Don’t join in or watch bullying. Bullies love an audience. Walk away, and see if you can get others to leave, too. Of course, don’t just abandon someone who is in real danger. Go get help. Stop any rumors. If someone tells you gossip, don’t pass it on to others. You wouldn’t want someone spreading rumors about you! Stand up for the person. If it feels safe, defend the person being bullied. Bullies often care a lot about being popular and powerful. If you make the bullying seem uncool, the bully may stop . Tell an adult. If you feel uncomfortable telling an adult, ask the adult to keep your comments private. Encourage the bullied person to talk to an adult. Offer to go with them. Offer support. Ask if the person is okay. Be friendly the next day. You can make a big difference just by showing you care. When you help someone who’s being bullied, you may also help yourself. It can feel great to support someone in need and to stand up for what you believe! A message brought to you by Two Row Times, Jukasa Radio and the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation.

Indigenous documentary ‘Rumbles’ at Sundance By Chezney Martin Fearing racist backlash as an artist was common in the past and many indigenous artists hid or downplayed their ancestry. So, diving into a different era of being native: Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World is the documentary that allowed Montreal-based Filmmakers Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana to take home the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Masterful Storytelling at the Sundance Film Festival. ϐ nized as one of the top 10 ϐ Dz festival”. ϐ ǡ artist Link Wray inspired many guitarists with his power chords from 1958's banned-by-radio “Rumble”, but not many were aware of his Shawnee ancestry. No better name could have been chosen for the documentary that recognizes other artists that did the same. “Be proud you are Indian; but be careful who you tell,” was the advice given to guitarist and songwriter Robbie Rob Ǥ ϐ ǡ ertson shares memories of the time he spent with

his mother’s family on Six Nations and in the Brantford area. But, along with Robert ǡ ϐ er artists such as 1920's Delta Bluesman Charley Patton, Guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, Legend of Rock Jimi Hendrix, “Queen of Swing” Mildred Bailey and more. What is quite interesting is that the artists agreed to be a part of the ϐ their heritage or backgrounds, but their friend ϐ ̵ ecutive producer Stevie Salas. Known as a guitarist himself, Salas didn't realize just how many indigenous musicians there were until he sat down to be interviewed by Canadian Writer Brian Wright-MacLeod for his piece The Encyclopedia of Native Music in 2004. With the help of powerful performances and archival footage; artists such as George Clinton, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and Iggy Pop acknowledge indigenous ϐ their work. If you'd like to check it ǡ ϐ mier on the Movie Network later this year.

Stevie Salas is a world renowned guitarist but has also been busy with music, TV and film producer, author, television host, music director, film composer, songwriter and recording artist. His website says he is proud Apache. PHOTO WWW.STEVIESALAS.COM

Youth activism fuels the fight country,â€? he said, listing Oregon, Washington, and the East Coast. “But, the other thing is you notice the tension when you go there,â€? he said. “There's a constant tension because not even a few miles away is a military outpost with national guard and they're there with military vehicles, weapons. You know they're waiting for war, they're just waiting for us to bring it to them.â€? After listing many of the major offences — such as unarmed protester Sophia Wilansky, who was certain to lose her arm to a concussion grenade — he moved on to speak about his own traumatic experience. “I was arrested on October 27 on the Treaty Camp,â€? he said. “They raided the camp that day and we knew they were coming.â€?

Of these warriors is Trenton Joseph Casillas-Bakeburg from South Dakota, who visited Six Nations over the weekend as he travelled to share his story.

Even though he knew the panic was caused by law enforcement, he said he prayed for the police. “I prayed that they could open their hearts, open their minds again so that they can understand that what they're doing isn't right,â€? he said.

But his trauma isn't just spiritual, as he now carries a physical reminder. His hands were zip-tied together shortly after he was taken away. “The guy that tied my zip-ties tied them so tight my hands went numb,â€? he said. “And when they cut off my zip-ties they cut my wrist open, and it looked like it got infected for a bit,â€? he said, showing a deep pink scar.

Print is not dead: old school methods for the new age By Victor Martisius

SIX NATIONS – Garlow Print and Copy may seem like just another print shop but there is one distinction that may be overlooked. Andrew “Gump” Garlow, owner of Garlow Print and Copy, offers Six Nations their very own print shop that is owned and operated by the people who reside within Six Nations. “I brought it here so the work could be done by our people,” said Garlow. Located directly between First and Second Line on Mohawk Road, the facility offers more than just an all Six Nations cast. They proudly offer offset printing, a process in which the print shop uses real ink to paper instead of toner. “There’s not too many people who do offset printing anymore,” explains Garlow. “A lot of companies [have switched to] photo-copying.” Since the shop uses real offset printing, there are

newspaper are not connected with one another. In this digital world, the family business offers true quality while staying faithful to industry standard timelines. You can check out the print shop out online on their Facebook page but they wish to stay printing hard copy. “[Printing] hasn’t really changed much,” said Garlow on the topic of hard copy versus digital. “A lot of things are easier done [digitally] and you have to have a good computer tech.” Garlow Print and Copy specializes in large run printing and is currently offering competitive rates on runs of 100,000 or more. `We print pretty much anything on paper` is their motto.

many things they have to take into account to get the best quality possible. One important aspect is the ratio of ink to water to ensure all print is even and readable. “If you have the water set too high the print will come out weak. It’s the same with [having] too much ink,” said Garlow. In the fast pace world of print, deadlines are always a moving target. Time management is an ever-developing skill. “Three or four people will bring in the jobs and want results right away,” said Garlow. “Sometimes you have to stay overtime.” Garlow has had a very extensive career in print having worked all over Southern Ontario in places like Brantford, Hamilton and Toronto. His print shop used to be in the same building as the Two Row Times newspaper but the newspaper has recently moved to a new location on 50 Generations Drive. The print shop and
