Onondaga Language Preservation at Ronahtaskats By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – Similar to Mohawk and on the cusp of Seneca with some Cayuga thrown in, the sound of Onondaga is one that is unique and fluid in its own way as a counter-part to the other traditional Haudenosaunee languages. But the number of speakers is declining. To help fight this decline; in collaboration with the Kaweni:io/Gaweniyo Language Preservation Project and the Onondaga Language Project, the Ronahtaskats building opened its doors to host one of a series of “language gatherings” to help broaden the vocabulary of the Onondaga language repertoire. For the first half of the day volunteers and stu-

Throughout the day, project staff, volunteers and students were given the opportunity to listen to first-language Onondaga speakers to hear conversational Onondaga, then move on to ask for phrase translations to build the Onondaga language repertoire.

For the rest of the day, students and volunteers broadened their vocabulary by asking the speakers how to say “new” phrases. These new phrases will go towards

lessons in a language program much like a Rosetta Stone, explained Co-ordinator for the K/G Language Project Chyanne Doxtator. “It's a second language learning tool,” said Doxtator. “We had a grant through the Trillium Foundation and we are focusing

on the Onondaga Language with it, so we're hosting two gatherings a year. So, this is the first gathering this year,” she said. The translated phrases that are collected will then be transcribed and spelled correctly said Doxtator. “We work really close

with the Onondaga Language Project [we're going into our third year of working together],” she said. “We work really closely with Betty and Gloria Williams, and Darla runs the program here with the students, so anything we do, they benefit from,” she

said, including that they all have access to the immersive language program. It is hoped that the next gathering will take place in summer, and Onondaga Language Instructor Eli Longboat will again bring CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

continued from page 2 his students to help capture more language. “I was really excited by this opportunity to teach,” said Longboat. “It's hard work, but for us to carry on our language for our generations [is important and] we have to keep it going.” Longboat estimated that there are under 40 Onondaga speakers left. “I don't know the number for sure, but I would say that it's under 50,” he said. “I feel that it's important that here at Six Nations that we do our part in keeping these languages alive.” Longboat explained that newer speakers speak a different kind of Onondaga because they aren't first-language speakers, so the gathering was incredi-

bly beneficial to them. “I think it was a great experience for them to see speakers and converse with speakers beyond class here,” he said. “We always need our first-language speakers to show us what's what. I also wanted to say that it's building relationships and expanding our speaking community for the Onondaga language.” The first-language speakers include: Johnny Gibson, Betty Henry, Gloria Williams, Bill Williams, Larry Bomberry, Jackie Bomberry, and Ruby Williams. With the help of many project staff, helpful volunteers and students; it is hoped that the efforts to broaden and archive the Onondaga language will continue to be successful.

Jon Styres. FILE PHOTO By TRT staff HAMILTON – Preliminary trial dates have been scheduled for Peter Khill, the man charged with the second-degree murder of Jon Styres. Khill was 26 years old on the day of the incident and Styres was 29 years old. Styres was found dead on Feb. 4, 2016. Police say the late-night shooting happened when someone came onto Khill's prop-

erty and tried to steal a pick up truck. Preliminary trial dates have been scheduled for Tuesday, March 21, at 10 a.m. in Hamilton court. Khill has been on bail since mid-February, 2016, after Justice Jane Milanetti released him on $100,000 bail — $50,000 from him, plus $25,000 each from two sureties. He has been residing with his mother in Norfolk County continuing to work as a millwright.

More sex assault charges for Six Nations man OHSWEKEN — A fourth victim has come forward alleging she was sexually assaulted by a Six Nations man.

Man assaulted during home invasion on New Credit MISSISAUGAS OF NEW CREDIT FIRST NATION — OPP are investigating a robbery and home invasion on New Credit. Police and paramedics were called to a Second Line home where they found a male victim who’d been beaten. The male was found by a friend after the attack who then called police. He was taken to hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. OPP say around noon on Wednesday an unknown male entered the victims home, confronted him and struck him several times with a weapon before tak-

ing cash, a wallet with his ID and prescription medication. The unknown suspect was seen running south bound down the driveway of the residence and then entered the passenger side of a newer model silver Dodge Durango travelling eastbound Second Line. The suspect is described as male, light skinned, approximately 6’ tall with a thin build. He was wearing camouflage clothing and had his face covered at the time of the attack. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Council sets new relationship with Health Services SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Council says members of Elected Council received a $5000 honorarium increase annually since April of 2016. A statement from Elected Council says the funds were given in recognition of the Council’s continued efforts to strengthen the community’s federal political presence — and to

offset the increased work of implementing a new multi-year funding agreement with Health Canada that will reduce the role Ottawa plays in the community’s health programs. The new funding agreement will enable Six Nations Health Services grow a number of health programs in the community.

According to an article on the NBC website, “The trend suggests that marijuana is playing an increased role in fatal crashes,” says Dr. Guohua Li, a co-author and director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Prevention at Columbia University Medical Center. The researchers examined data from the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), spanning more than 23,000 drivers killed during that 11-year period. “The increased availability of marijuana and increased acceptance of marijuana use” are fueling the higher rate of cannabinol found in dead drivers, Li told NBC News. But others read the data differently. In a separate study — based on the same data — it was found that in states where medical marijuana was approved, traffic fatalities decrease by as much as 11 per cent

during the first year after legalization. Researchers at the University of Colorado, Oregon and Montana State University, published in 2013 in the Journal of Law & Economics, find: “a 13 per cent drop in drunk-driving deaths in states where medical marijuana is legal.” Some studies have indicated that marijuana use has had negative impact on alcohol abuse, which impairs its users more than marijuana. A drunk driver will tend to be aggressive behind the wheel whereas a pot smoker is less likely to speed and more often than not defensive while driving, sometimes too much so. “Marijuana reform is associated with a decrease in traffic fatalities, most likely due to its impact on alcohol consumption,” said Michael Elliott, executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, a trade association

OHSWEKEN – Iroquois Lodge was buzzing with activity Monday morning on Family Day, February 20. Iroquois Lodge under the guidance of Dawn

Russell, activity co-ordinator, held a Moccasin-Making Workshop for residents and their families in celebration of Family Day. Each resident was joined by a family member or friend who assisted them and other

in Colorado. The debate continues but one thing both proponents and opponents agree on is a mutual concern for the use of marijuana among pre-teens and young teens in particular. ‘Adolescence is the critical period during which marijuana use can be damaging,’ said Sylvina Mullins Raver, a PhD candidate at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. ‘We wanted to identify the biological underpinnings and determine whether there is a real, permanent health risk to marijuana use.’ UNICEF called child marijuana use a “significant concern” for reasons including possible impacts on physical and mental health as well as negative impact on school performance, according to an article in McClean’s Magazine. Pot use has been decriminalized in Germany,

Portugal, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands and all have rates of child cannabis use that range from one-third to more than one-half lower than in Canada where it is still a novelty. These numbers are expected to settle in at about the same rates in time. “Whether you want marijuana to be legal or not is irrelevant. Clearly there is a need for something to change if our goal is to keep marijuana from young people,” Mason Tvert, a key strategist in Colorado’s successful legalization vote, told McClean’s. Regulation is needed. During this grey period of legislation and law, there are dispensaries popping up everywhere. Some are fully sanctioned by the Canadian government, regulated and closely monitored, but others require nothing more than a complaint of headaches, stress or sleep disorders do be “registered” to buy

residents in making their moccasins. Dawn hopes to have similar workshops in the future. Families and friends are encouraged to come out and help.

Medical marijuana legal but still dangerous for youth By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – Legalizing Marijuana has become the hallmark of the Trudeau administration so far, but what are the highs and lows of Canada’s stance on the long maligned weed. To see what evils there may be waiting down the road on this issue in Canada, data from Colorado, one of the first states in the U.S. to legalize recreational use in 2012 should be closely studied. Many opponents have warned about spikes in “drugged drivers” cases before the courts, wreaking havoc on the roads and costing lives. Since Medical marijuana was legalized in 2001, studies have shown that in other states that have legalized pot for medical purposes, there has been an increase in the number of drivers testing positive for the drug who were involved in fatal car accidents.

weed from unknown origins at their local dispensary. "There are a number of people who have been using illegal cannabis to treat specific medical conditions, which has been a huge eye-opener to me as a physician because I didn’t realize how beneficial marijuana is at a medical level,” said Dr. Stephanie Mason, who is a specialist in psychiatry. “There's no question in my mind that I would rather my children use cannabis than alcohol.” Mason has about 5,000 patients at her Calgary clinic, where they can get a prescription for legal, medical marijuana. “When you look at the dangers of some of the medications we prescribe and I’ve prescribed, cannabis is safe, it’s non-toxic, it doesn’t affect organ systems, people aren’t in hospital because of too much cannabis use,” she says.

OPINION

The real ``fake`` news EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW

In the white man’s world, the printed page carries the utmost authority. That being said, information from the internet is viewed with suspicion and these days with Trump in power some are beginning to doubt what is being said on television. But why do ink markings on a sheet of paper resound so strongly with the Europeans? Canada has shown us that their laws written on paper can change. What is wrong with speaking truthfully the old way? We can blame Moses — yes, the biblical son of Egypt; the same guy who appeared in the 1998 animated film the Prince of Egypt. Quick history lesson. Israelite culture was like indigenous culture thousands of years ago and they kept stories passed down from generation to generation just as every other culture on Earth does. After Moses liberated the 12 tribes of Israel from slavery circa 1400 B.C. he spent 40 years transcribing the oral tradition of his people onto leather paper or maybe stone tablets, no one is sure. That started a trend towards the modern law systems we are familiar with today. English Christianity became entangled with colonization and the rest was history. It could have been a cool story except the colonizers also erased culture and history along the way causing irreparable societal destruction. Now we as Onkwehon:we people have no choice but to sift through the cultural wreckage looking for stuff we can remember how to use. On any cultural issue there may be two different camps of thought. For example, our Creation Story is transmitted from each generation to generation through careful and deliberate memorization. It has been taught that the version we know is unchanged and is similar to the biblical Hebrew story by coincidence. There is group of indigenous thinkers who believe that our Creation Story was modified to match the story our colonizers brought in order to mitigate judgment

and additional oppression. Maybe we just wanted to fit in. Who can say? There is also a big problem when we use the immigrant tongues such as English to define our culture. The problem in identifying with proper nouns (capitalized words) is that we aren’t in control of the definition. If we start defining Clan Mothers with a capital C and M it becomes formalized, codified, and corporate. The definition and our identity leaves our jurisdiction and the wizards of the English language become the masters. So, don’t be too quick to judge us if you see certain words left without capitalized letters — it’s intentional. Be careful when using the English word Chief because it means the same thing as ruler. Is your Chief your ruler? This is what we are talking about. It can take an entire lifetime to learn the GAYANESHAKGOWA (Great Law of Peace) because it is passed down from family members through stories and lessons. There are some who say the GAYANESHAKGOWA is a political system of checks and balances, others who say it is a history of the 49 families of the Haudenosaunee. Maybe it is a way of life that permeates us all on Six Nations in thousands of various forms and expressions. One thing that almost everyone agrees upon is that our ancient ways are meant to be shared face-to-face, not from a screen and not from a printed page. Got’ta put down the book and put down the iPhone. In this rare instance, if the Great Law of Peace is read from a piece of paper it loses credibility. So what are we saying? We are saying that when it comes to education, sometimes the academics such as Fenton and alike, are wrong. The problem with Moses was that he was just a man. The Jesuits have been telling us that men are in control since the 16th century. Some of them are missing and some have been murdered but its indigenous women who hold authority and title to our common culture and land.

Long-Term Consequences By Grace Li Xiu Woo This is the final chapter in an article written by that 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. What are we to make of this story of simultaneous colonization and decolonization? Would a hearing at the Supreme Court of Canada or at the League of Nations have made any real difference? Perhaps not. British imperial pride was at a peak in the 1920s when the Empire was still celebrating victory in the first Great War. We have become so accustomed to the uniform coloration of the map north of the American border that the current format of Canada seems incontestable. However, a mere 10 years later Britain's Judicial Committee of the Privy Council reversed the seemingly entrenched orthodoxy saying women were not legal persons. What would they have said about the Indian Act that said the same of In-

digenous peoples? The archival evidence and legal authorities that the Six Nations Haudenosaunee had to offer in support of their arguments were impeccable. If they had been allowed equal access to British imperial courts, perhaps they would have won. And then, who knows? Perhaps the reasoning would have been confined to that particular case, dependent on the unique terms of Haldimand's declaration. Or perhaps Haudenosaunee from other reserves would have found a way to expand their rights producing a very different type of legal and political order — one in which Indigenous nations had a real say. And this might, in turn, have inspired us all. Perhaps we would have developed a society in which no one was held hostage by the shadowy maneuvers of unelected officials — in the department of Indian Affairs or elsewhere in the dark recesses of the federal bureaucracy. On the other hand, if the Six Nations had been allowed to present their case at the League of Nations or in the newly formed international

Volume 4, Issue 29

court, perhaps the whole history of the twentieth century would have been different. Perhaps polities would have been defined according to relational rather than territorial criteria. Perhaps the boundaries of territorial resources would have been decided through rational grassroots legal consultation, formed on the basis of agreements reached among all those affected instead of on the basis of colonial precedent backed by the use of brute force. We might have developed institutions designed to assist consensus formation. We might have found the means to address social problems before they degenerate to the point that they elicit responses founded on anger and blind rage. Perhaps the need to define the crime of genocide would never have arisen. We can only wonder as we head into the 21st century with new, and similarly undefined challenges before us. We can only wonder, though surely, if we want to decolonize the future we must first decolonize our understanding of the past.

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

Trickster Trudeau By Rachel A. Snow

There is no singular event or time that provides easy answers for the ongoing trauma that the original people have felt, still feel and will feel in their homeland. From the time of colonization and settler land theft there has been an uneasy truce between the original people and the European immigrants. This truce began as peace and friendship, which is the hallmark of every First Nation’s protocol when first meeting newcomers. The application of this tradition; however, was lost on the first settler/ colonizers. The Europeans who ventured to this

new land were looking for land and a place to forge a “new beginning”. The fact that fully-fledged and operational societies existed prior to their arrival did not deter the first settlers. Instead they reported back to their masters and funders that only savagery existed among the heathen Indians and that profits could be made from the resources of this land. What god or what power allowed this privileged thinking? Armed with papers from various church or state governments, did these first settlers truly have any authority to lay waste to a land that belonged to other human beings? It is this same think-

ing that permeates every piece of legislation, every policy and every law affecting the original people today. It is the thinking of manifest destiny, the thinking of progress, individualism and materialism that guides the non-indigenous people. Can this selfish nature and greed be categorized as a cultural way of life? In European writings prior to colonization, this same thinking directs the actions of “men”. It is based on their reality. This reality was forged from autocracies or monarchies that exercised control and “dominion” over other nations, the land and all parts of Creation. Contrast this with the

original people, the 600 plus nations who inhabited the lands north of the medicine line, and you will see there is a different cultural thinking happening. It is not subsistence thinking or lack of progress. It is not a hunter-gatherer society that supposedly would “progress” into a system built on commerce and materialism. It is a system built on harmonious knowledge with all other nations, plants, animals, seasons, waters and the land. It is a self-sustaining and self-governing system that allows for human life while respecting that all life is interconnected. Where is the progress or lack of “sophistication”

in this indigenous thinking? Is the thinking that all planetary life has value not an advanced philosophical take on what the existence of man means? This clash of worldviews, that of the original nations to hold and preserve a meaningful and treasured way of life; with that of settlers, racing for individual fame and gain, has set the stage for a historical dispute that continues to this day. If the original people had values of sharing and inclusion, how can this ever be reconciled with settler norms of taking and exclusion? How many more reports, inquiries or tribunals, does the Canadian public need to answer the question that has already been answered? Currently, Canada is in the throes of its latest fiasco that is to “find the root of aboriginal trau-

our Great Law (Kayaneresherakowa) the future generations were warned about turmoil. The warnings were simple. There would come a time when the people live in disarray and face certain extinction. The leaders would be “throwing ashes on each other” with their “heads rolling in the road”. The confusion of the leadership and the loss of hope by the People would push the Real Human Beings to the brink of disaster. At this time the People rekindle their fire at the roots of a Great Elm (okaratsikowa). The People recover the ancestor’s ancient knowledge about how to live without electricity and gas, rise again, and take their rightful place in the world — the era in Rotinohsyonni development becomes Kakaratsikowa. However, this rebirth would be followed by changes to

the world that humans can’t control — weather, earthquakes, and what happens in space. These teachings are known to others we well. Indigenous writer Pam Colorado depicts how the Mayan pyramid at Chitchen Itza is actually a calendar. Indigenous People who were born around 1960 began to network for political, economic, social, and environmental purposes. This reawakening was predicted by the Maya and encoded in the 468 steps on the pyramid at Chitchen Itza (468 + 1492 = 1960). Also, the Mayan pyramid clearly shows a serpent descending to the earth that corresponds with the reawakening around the year 1960. At the Indigenous Environment Network (IEN) conference at Stroud, Oklahoma in 1993 the Sac and Fox said a fiery serpent descends from the

sky with 500 miles per hour winds and strikes the earth. In 1995 a Cree elder from Alberta, Canada said they saw a fiery serpent carrying 1,000 miles per hour winds splitting the mountains. Similar to our people, these references point to the Sun. In the east the Rotinohsyonni say “the big man gives the earth a kick”. The ‘big man’ is the Sun. This event follows an era when violent thunderstorms arrive from the east instead of the west. Recently, many of our people noticed that annual hurricanes were moving farther up north on the east coast. In 2007 a weak hurricane reached Nova Scotia, Canada. In the summer of 2009 thunderstorms came from the east. In July 2009 the Inuit convened a convention at Sirmiq Aattuq in Greenland to “bring the Sacred

ma”. Following countless Indian agent reports that marked the Indians as unwilling participants to forced federal policies, to the Berger Report, to the Penner Report, to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and finally to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; this problem has remained the same. The original people, the first nations that occupied this northern part of Turtle Island had their own approaches to governance, law, parenting, kinship, education, health care and economies that maintained harmony and balance over monopolies and disturbances. How many reports are needed to reconcile this oppositional view? Are the original peoples to keep facing the genocidal actions of poverty, racism and systemic restraint

Fire home to the top of the World.” The Inuit Old Ones projected a return of what they characterize as their Sacred Fire. The Inuit said they survived in a stark and seemingly bereft land over thousands of years because the Sacred Fire departed and they were left without wood for their heat. However, the returning Sacred Fire means the return of firewood. In August 2008 Maclean’s magazine reports that a James Bay Cree seer describes the calamitous return of water to engulf James Bay coastal communities. The article also describes doubts and ridicule aimed at the medicine man, but the article makes clear the regard given by the Cree to the water. Elders among the James Bay Cree talk about their Old Ones who said “water will be every-

Signs of coming changes to our world THE SIX LINE By Thohahoken

On Friday February 24, 2017, the temperature will be 19 C. “All my intuitions are saying this is not right,” one grandmother writes. “I know many are happy for this warm weather but there will be serious consequences.” Another woman describes the consequences when the “blossoms come out on the trees too soon and then it gets cold and freezes again. That affects the fruit.” There isn’t any. And another mother says she’s seen the weather’s “been slowly changing for the past five years — we’re in the process of the big change.” “I feel that the same way,” says another woman. “That this weather is

a sign. Has been for some time.” Alarm among our Rotinohsyonni mothers isn’t surprising. The social, environmental, meteorological, and astronomical trends we’ve seen throughout the past 20 years have been forecast in our teachings. It’s no surprise what we’re seeing in our world earthquakes, storms, and changing weather patterns. Elders like the late-Jake Thomas and late-Jake Swamp said this time in our history is called Kakaratsikowa — the Great Swamp Elm. At the time of Kakaratsikowa we’re told to heed what the women see. In the teachings of the Rotinohsyonni in

Album proceeds given to Save the Evidence By TRT staff

The Woodland Cultural Centre would like to give a big thank you to Gail Obediah, Singer and Songwriter, for donating a portion of the proceeds from her CD Release to the Save the Evidence campaign.

and gave $1,222. Her new album is titled Let the Eagle Fly. Obediah posted on Facebook stating: “It was a huge honour to be able to carry out my vision of helping with the healing of our people in this way. Listening to and Honouring the children’s stories, are the road to healing!” PHOTO FROM THE WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE STAFF.

Veterans honoured in tribute at SNEC By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Robert ‘Rope’ Loft of Six Nations is travelling the community and surrounding areas making presentations of the poem he wrote titled, Honouring Tribute. Loft came to last night’s Six Nations Elected Council general meeting on February 21 to read aloud his poem to Elected Chief Ava Hill, elected councillors, media, and others in attendance at the meeting. The poem was written in 2016 as a tribute to the veterans of Six Nations. Loft has made and is planning to continue

making these presentations to schools and organizations in communities like Brantford, Hamilton, Caledonia and more. “I really appreciate being invited to present my poem,” he told SNEC and guests. “I want to thank everybody for listening to me and appreciating my thoughts.” Loft previously gave a handwritten copy of his poem to SNEC and SNEC has since had the poem framed and is planning on having it hung in council chambers soon. After Loft finished speaking he thanked the elected chief and councillors for their time and shook all of their hands.

Thunder Woman Speaks continued from page 7 every day while government policies of underfunding and control drive the original people into assimilation or death? This remains the goal of the settler colonizer. The latest fiasco is the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Inquiry (MMIW). An election promise made by Trudeau’s Federal Liberal government is hanging on by a badly frayed piece of sinew. The inaction of the commissioners, coupled with the lack of communication and the colossal task of trying a “new” non-adversarial approach when four out of five of the commissioners are trained adversarial thinkers is ridiculous. When the oppressor continues to oppress, it is those who fight this oppression that need the voice. I have written several times about the need for Canada to start acknowledging this specific voice. It is the voice of the original people who are the grassroots people that will make change.

That is if Canada really wants a change. As Canada madly rushes about, planning red and white parties or picnics, with fireworks and maple leafs they are celebrating 150 (um, 35) years of changing from royal to economic autocracies, that’s all. If Canada really wants a change, the Missing and Murdered Inquiry will reopen specific cases with full police or RCMP involvement. If Canada really wants a change, they will try to bring closure to these families of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women by more than just one-day meetings that call for RSVP’s. If Canada really wants a change, they will involve the real voices of the people most affected by the Missing and Murdered troubling statistics — that is the on reserve or First Nation people directly affected. If Canada wants the appearance of making changes or fulfilling election promises for Missing

and Murdered Women, they will appoint commissioners trained in mainstream thinking. If Canada wants the appearance of making an effort towards Missing and Murdered Women they will not involve any policing agencies. If Canada wants the appearance of caring about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women they will express their work as new or innovative, which is political double speak for we don’t know what we’re doing. It is also political smoke and mirrors. If trickery can let the Canadian public “think” that this is a new “indigenous” legal approach then they won’t expect answers. That’s when it’s time to ask indigenous legal traditionalists and practitioners if this is really what is happening. As an Iyâhê Nakoda winyan, an indigenous legal traditionalist and practitioner, I can say heyah, no this is not happening.

Inquest for Indigenous leaders call to rename Langevin Block death of indigenous artist THUNDER BAY — An inquest has been announced into the death of an indigenous artist who was being held in custody at a Thunder Bay jail. Moses Beaver was found unresponsive in his jail cell and pronounced dead at a regional hospital on February 13th. He was taken by paramedics to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Beaver struggled with mental health. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler said the case is troubling and demanded answers and a full inquiry into the death. The province’s supervising coroner says an inquest in the case is mandatory under the Coroners Act considering the circumstances surrounding the artists passing. Beaver’s sister, Mary Wabasse, also tragically died this week in a crash in Thunder Bay as she was travelling to be with family members gathered to mourn her brother’s passing.

Body recovered, man identified after crashing through ice

WATERFORD — A Hamilton man has died after falling through the ice at a Waterford pond. The 68 year old man was fishing Saturday afternoon at the Waterford North Conservation Area when he fell through the ice. Police say a 9 year old boy was also on the pond skating. He tried to rescue the man but also fell through the ice. Witnesses were able to pull the child from the pond but were unable to reach the man. His body was recovered by police on Sunday afternoon. He has been identified as Jani Daliyanazlou of Hamilton.

OTTAWA — Ottawa is under pressure by indigenous leaders to change the name of the city block that is home to the Prime Ministers Office. The Langevin Block is named for Hector-Louis Langevin after the politician who established

Canada’s residential schools program. AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde wrote a letter to the federal government raising his concerns that the name should be changed in light of the country’s move toward reconcilli-

ation A group of indigenous MP’s and members of the Liberal indigenous caucus are also urging the government for a new name to the block. This is not the first move in the country to remove Langevin’s name

from places of honour. Last month Calgary announced it will rename a bridge named after the politician as Reconciliation Bridge as an effort to foster reconcilliation with surrounding indigenous nations.

Understanding compassion to overcome bullying GMSU -- The word compassion literally means “to suffer together”. The act of compassion is what stirs you into action when you see someone suffering and feel the need to do something to end that suffering. Needless to say — learning and practising compassion is a powerful tool to overcome bullying and end it in your community, family, workplace or school.

But things can get complicated. You see the bully and the person being bullied, also known as the ‘target’, have their own issues that brought each of them into the situation. Everyone has a backstory. And prt of overcoming bullying long term means discarding labels that vilify or victimize either the aggressor or the target in a bullying situation.

Teaching youth to be compassionate is important. First, recognize the suffering in a situation. Next, decide what you can do to help. And lastly, take action towards a solution that is within your reach. For example, let’s say a girl on the playground is getting bullied by a group of three older girls. She is trying to walk away but the older girls won’t let her

go. She is hanging her head down and looks a little afraid. If you can tell she is feeling bad and want to help her — take action in the best and safest way you can. Invite the girl to come join your circle of friends to get her away from the girls who are being aggressive. Tell a teacher or grown up you trust what you saw. Or if the situation is more

serious you can even call the police. The bottom line to bullying anywhere is that it can be ended. But it takes human will. That step of action by everyday willing people to overcome bullying situations with wisdom, support and empowerment so everyone can live a life free of oppression.

What Is the Definition of Compassion Compassion. This is the desire to alleviate the suffering of another person. To have compassion for someone doesn’t really mean feeling sorry for them or pitying them — but that you can sympathize with what they are going through. In bullying situations compassion can help both sides of the issue. Both the bully and the victim have personal issues that make up how they treat people and how they handle themselves in a given situation. Unless an observer fully knows both the bully and the victim, objective truth of the situation may never come to light. Compassion for the Victim The victim, or target, needs compassion in a bullying situation because they are the one who was attacked. However there can be situations that later reveal the target did something to instigate the bully and aggravated the situation in some way. This could’ve been done without bad intention, but in the eyes of the bully that aggravation warranted some kind of retaliation. Offering compassion for the target does not mean making them a martyr, or giving them everything they ask for. It means empowering them with the assistance to move past that bullying situation and giving them what they need to heal from the event. Perhaps the target needs some counselling or mentoring to understand why things are happening. In a classroom situation, offering access to staff who will ensure students can continue classes without harassment can be an empowering solution for targeted students and also help end bullying situations in schools. Offering compassionate support to targeted victims is empowering, solidifying the truth that targets are not alone and that everyone is worthy of dignity and respect. Compassion for the Bully Does a bully deserve compassion too? The answer is yes. Even if the actions of a bully, also known as the aggressor, are malicious and hurtful there are many reasons behind that behaviour — the why behind them taking action to harm someone else. It’s true that some people are just plain mean spirited. Others might be reacting to a frustrating situation, or feeling like they are out of control. The important thing to remember about an aggressor is vilifying them — instead of calling out the bullying behaviour — is not going to make the situation any better. In fact, it could get worse. Oversimplifying a bullying situation by labelling the aggressor a “bully” can overlook a situation that needs immediate intervention by mental health professionals and even possibly the police. Perhaps the aggressor has been living in a violent home situation and physical retaliation is all they know. They could also be the victim of psychological, emotional, sexual of physical abuse at the hands of an older sibling, parent or other family member. The good news is that there are several local health resources children, youth and even adult aggressors can access to help break free from unhealthy situations that may have aggravated their response in a bullying situation. With the help of an able counsellor who looks into a bullying situation with compassion for the “bully” — ending a hopeless cycle of hostility and violence can help an aggressor heal and could also be a long term solution to stop bullying in your community. Compassion for All Compassion is world changing. One simple act of kindness will lead to many other acts of kindness like the ripple effect that is seen when a stone is cast into a pond. Compassion for targets helps them heal from trauma, while compassionate intervention with aggressors can sometimes resolve a bigger issue and help them find healing as well. When you show compassion — you are telling everyone in the situation that they are still valued — even if they were hurt, or even if they acted in the wrong. No one wants to be defined by their mistakes or made to feel like they deserves to be treated badly. When it comes to bullying there is so much that can be done to halt the harm and turn the tides towards kindness. With the right approach parents, teachers, and community leaders can break the cycle of bullying and make our communities healthier, happier places to be.

Hamilton Legal Clinic to share reconciliation report By TRT staff "Reconciliation is not an aboriginal problem, it is a Canadian problem. It involves all of us," said Justice Murray Sinclair. The Hamilton Community Legal Clinic (HCLC) is releasing a report that

responds to the view expressed above by Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. It is a framework for reconciliation for our non-indigenous organization. The Clinic's report is called A Journey to Rec-

onciliAction - Calls to Action Report. It contains 16 recommendations that address 14 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's report released in 2015 that apply to the Clinic's work. The report will be

shared with the community on Feb. 23, at 9:30 a.m., at an event at Council Chambers, Hamilton City Hall. The Mayor will accept the report on behalf of the city. It will also be available on the Clinic's website (www.hamiltonjustice.ca) as a Word

document later that day. "In the spirit of indigenous principles of sharing knowledge and wisdom, we will be passing on the report to our community partners and others in the community," said Lyndon George, Indigenous Justice Co-ordinator

at the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic. Other organizations and community groups can use the report as they see fit and take responsibility for the Calls to Action that affect them. "This is a historic moment," notes Constance McKnight, executive director of De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Health Centre. "We applaud the HCLC for showing leadership with this important step in the reconciliation process." Clinic Executive Director Hugh Tye highlighted Recommendation No. 2 in the Clinic's document as being of particular importance. "Recommendation No. 2 calls for us to honour Indigenous laws, traditions, principles, customs and applications as an influential guide for the development/revision of our polices, practices and procedures. Particularly as a justice organization, it is important for us to implement this recommendation," said Tye. For more information, please contact: Lyndon George, HCLC Indigenous Justice Co-ordinator, 289680-4544.

Mi’kmaq man pardoned HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s provincial government has pardoned a Mi’kmaq leader 90 years after he was convicted. Gabriel Syliboy was arrested and charged with illegal hunting in the 1928. The grand chief of the Mi’kmaq nation fought until his death in 1964 to assert his right to hunt was part of a 1752 Mi’kmaq treaty right. Nova Scotia premiere Stephen McNeil spoke during a ceremony at Government House and apologized to Sylliboy’s family and the Mi’kmaq community. This is the second post humous pardon in Nova Scotia’s history after black civil rights pioneer Viola Desmond.

Snakes stolen in robbery THOROLD — Niagara Police are searching for venomous snakes they say were stolen from a home in Thorold. The snakes include several juvenile cobras, rattlesnakes, adders and vipers — including a pregnant albino boa. The reptiles were part of a breeders business. Police say they suspect the home was targeted intentionally. Police say the snakes range in size from 12 to 200 centimetres long, with the largest weighing seven kilograms — and are warning the public the cobra’s venom is a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause respiratory failure. Anyone with information on the snakes whereabouts is asked to contact police.

Pope bashes Trump over Dakota pipe VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis spoke from Vatican City this week and says indigenous people must give prior consent for any economic development on their traditional territories. The pontiff was said to be criticizing US President Donald Trumps move to push completion of the Dakota Access pipeline across Sioux territory without the consent of the tribe to develop on their lands. The pope was meeting with indigenous people on Wednesday while attending a UN meeting in Rome and said free, prior and informed consent should take precedence when developing on lands over actions that may interfere with indigenous cultures and their ancestral relationship to the earth.

The Six Line continued from page 7 where and many people will perish.” There will be an upheaval to a shifting Earth. To summarize. At a meeting at the headwaters of the Mississippi in the 1480s the Maya said they built a nine-terraced pyramid at Chitchen Itza that forecasts the return of a Sky Serpent that will strike the earth. Rotinohnsyonni say the big man comes from the East and kicks the earth. Peo-

ple in the northwest say a fiery serpent descends from the sky and carries 1,000 miles per hour winds. In the southwest those People say the fiery serpent brings 500 miles per hour winds. There will be great changes on the earth, but once the violence has ended peace shall return to the earth. What preparations are we making? Who carries knowledge for survival? What Indigenous knowl-

edge will we need to survive any catastrophe? What happens when the current civilization descends into chaos? Did we learn anything since 1492 about defending ourselves? How do people live without electricity and gasoline? We should be encouraged to hold discussions. Emergency preparations that face a severe calamity could be the focus of the discussion. Howev-

er, the less drastic but most important measure should provide a lot of the discussion — food supply. Simple things like digging wells also has a place in the discussion. And in the process the people gather by the roots of the Great Swamp Elm (Kakaratsikowa) and take their place in the world. The future? No cellular-phones. No TV. No cars. No money. If nothing happens at least we

regained the knowledge of our ancestors about eating, healing, and shelter. We learned to be Onkwehonwe again. We have nothing to lose. Heed what one woman said when talking about this week’s weather. “Our mother (earth) is going to go through some major changes and so will we.”

does and what its team is attempting to accomplish within the community. “We do a lot of work within the community with a large focus on language, healing, teaching, and working with the community’s youth,” said Leroy. Several elected councillors wondered if the resource centre has reached out to any other organizations for funding or if SNEC was the first. “We’re waiting to hear back from GREAT (Grand River Employment and Training),” said Leroy. GREAT has already committed to sponsoring the program in the past. “And HDI (Haudenosaunee Development Institute) has given us $218,000.” Councillor Melba Thomas saw an opportunity to ask Leroy, who is also the secretary for the Haudenosaunee Chiefs Confederacy Council (HCCC), if the HCCC has considered setting up a meeting with SNEC to discuss community issues.

“The elected council has sent out several emails to the HCCC seeking to be put on their monthly agenda and they have gone unanswered,” said Thomas. Elected Chief Hill then corrected Thomas and said that the elected council is seeking more than just to be put on the agenda, they are seeking to have a sit down, faceto-face meeting where both parties can put aside their differences and help the community. “We [SNEC and HCCC] should combine some of our funds and really start working for the community,” said Chief Hill. “Let’s start a war on drugs.” Chief Hill brought up the drug issue on the reserve and all councillors agreed that a war on drugs on Six Nations would be a good place to start, considering recent incidents in the community over the last few weeks. “I’m all in,” said Leroy. “I’ve been all in for a long time and have wanted this to happen for a while.”

The Boys and Girls Club of Brantford has been involved for a number of years, selling pink t-shirts to celebrate the day, with proceeds supporting the Club’s programming. “The most important thing is to keep the conversation going,” said Deanna Searle, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Brantford. “Even though we’re singling out this one day to speak up against bullying, the message has to get out there all 365 days of the year.” All schools will be encouraging students to wear pink on February 22nd, and a number of schools have specific programming planned.

Grand Erie schools go pink in solidarity against bullying

BRANTFORD — Grand Erie schools are set to take a stand against bullying this Wednesday as part of Pink Shirt Day, an international movement aligning with the Board’s own values of inclusiveness and equity, and the importance of creating safe and supportive environments for students, families, and staff. “Bullying has no place in our schools, our classrooms, our cafeterias, in our halls or in our hearts,” said Wayne Baker, Superintendent of Education. “Pink Shirt Day is a way to publicly unite against not only bullying but also racism, sexism, ableism, and homophobia.” Pink Shirt Day began in Nova Scotia in 2007 when two students witnessed a male classmate being bullied because he was wearing a pink polo shirt, and decided to take

Ontario teacher denies anti vaccine allegations at hearing The Canadian Press TORONTO — A disciplinary hearing for a southwestern Ontario teacher accused of telling students they could die as a result of vaccination is hearing from a public health nurse who says she felt intimidated by the man's actions. Angela Swick, a nurse with the Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit, says Timothy C. Sullivan shouted at her and her colleagues when they visited the school on March 9, 2015. Testifying at Sullivan's

disciplinary hearing Tuesday, Swick said the teacher accused her of withholding information from students who were being vaccinated. Sullivan denies those allegations, arguing he was warning students about the risks associated with vaccines. The college is accusing Sullivan of professional misconduct for telling students they could die from vaccines and allegedly telling the nurse she was hiding information about the shot from students. Sullivan says his issue

is with informed consent rather than the vaccines themselves. ``I am pro informed consent, pro science and pro asking questions,'' he said during a break in the hearing. Sullivan has been suspended with pay since April 15, 2015. He teaches in Waterford, Ont., in the Grand Erie District School Board, but his school cannot be named due to a publication ban in place to protect students' identities. Swick described several encounters with Sullivan she said left her feel-

ing ``uneasy.'' The teacher came into the cafeteria as she and her colleagues were administering four different types of vaccines and demanded information about the drugs, she said. He was asked to leave, she added. ``He then turned around, came back and put his hands in front of me (on the desk) and said 'I hope you're letting these students know these vaccines could cause death,''' Swick told the hearing. Swick said she immediately texted her supervisor because she worried there would be more interactions with Sullivan as the day went on.

He did in fact return, she said, and ``asked the kids if they knew what was in the vaccine and shouted at them not to get it.'' Swick said she alerted the principal, who came to the cafeteria with another teacher who watched the side door for signs of Sullivan. The third encounter was more of the same, she said. ``We felt really intimidated and scared,'' Swick said. ``We go into the school to do a service, we feel fortunate to go into schools _ we just didn't have an encounter like this before.'' Sullivan, who is representing himself, peppered

Swick with questions about informed consent during his cross-examination, asking the nurse whether she told students about rare but potentially serious side effects. Swick said she doesn't warn students about vaccines' serious side effects as part of her routine. But, she said, she will inform students of certain side effects if it appears relevant based on the student's answers to her screening questions. ``If they are on heart medication, then we move onto something like hypertension,'' Swick said. The hearing is scheduled to last two days.

In-Depth: RUMBLE, The Indians Who Rocked the World By Chezney Martin In the February 1 edition of the TRT there was an article printed about Rumble: the Indians Who Rocked the World. Rumble is the documentary that won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Masterful Storytelling at the Sundance Film Festival. The film circulates around indigenous artists that made significant impacts on the music industry, but Executive Producer Tim Johnson wanted to dole out recognition to Six Nations properly. Johnson explained that the process of shaping the documentary came out of his exhibit Up Where We Belong: Native Americans in Popular Culture, as Johnson was the Associate Director for Museum Programs at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian. “Both the exhibit and the film deal with these deep contributions, so the film goes beyond just a listing of people that have hits,” said Johnson. “It goes deeper into exploring their lives and how their culture and communities influenced them and also thereby shaping their music and I think that's why Sundance gave it a storytelling

It goes much deeper than one of these 'rockumentaries', where you just have a story of a band.” After Johnson's wife Lisa Johnson introduced him to Stevie Salas at the opening of Jukasa Recording Studios, the exhibit idea came to reality, as did the JUNO Nominated album by Derek Miller and the documentary. “I thought 'wow, we have all of this amazing talent in Indian Country, how do we draw more attention to it?'” He said. “So, that was kind of my motivation at that point is how do we develop a strategy that can do that? And I was thinking 'maybe if we combined mainstream musicians with native musicians we

would be able to generate more interest and public attention to the musicians we have in our own communities.” Johnson explained that with help from Brian Wright-McLeod’s Encyclopedia of Native Music, he and Salas found a perfect subject for what would later become the Up Where We Belong exhibit. Johnson explained that they had to find Native artists that really did influence other mainstream artists, and this is where artists such as Ryan Johnson, Derek Miller and Robbie Robertson came in to play. “Chris Turner became the main researcher,” said Johnson. “We were all learning together the depth

of the substance, meaning and involvement of native musicians in shaping popular music, the music we know today,” he said. The idea and concept became something that Johnson and his team didn't want to let go after the exhibit was taken down, and it was determined that a documentary would be a perfect way to encapsulate the idea. Salas then connected with Rezolution Pictures, and Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World kicked off. “Derek's role was very important,” said Johnson. “It was just fantastic working with Derek, and I was amazed at what he produced.” Johnson said that Miller was to put his own spin on influential Native American artists’ songs to create the JUNO award nominee tribute album: Rumble to recognize their contributions to mainstream music. But, Johnson couldn't forget an icon such as Robertson. “And Robbie was important,” he said, explaining that he flew to Los Angeles to interview him for the exhibit. “He's such a fantastic story-teller and he's amazing. The interview we did there and the interview we did subsequently for the film both came out well, and we used

a lot of that content in the documentary.” But along with Miller and Robertson, Johnson mentioned the third from Six Nations. “And Ryan Johnson from the Ollivanders, who served on the crew in several location shoots throughout the making of film,” he said. “He's also in a local band here from Six Nations. So, we have all of the Six Nations involvement.” Johnson then explained a goal for the documentary was to also show the “native geography” of where the artists came from to help tell their stories, and the documentary itself is

something to be proud of. “This is really deep and I think it makes a real contribution to North American music history, and that's why it's important; it actually advances the field to understanding that native people were also a part of the development of popular music,” he said. Tim Johnson has also worked as the Co-Chair of the Landscape of Nations for the Six Nations and Native Allies Commemorative Memorial. He is an owner of the Bears Inn located on Six Nations, and is a 2016 recipient of the Dreamcatcher Foundation Award for Art and Culture.

Tim Johnson and two time JUNO Award-winner Derek Miller teamed up to produce the JUNO Nominated exhibit inspired album RUMBLE: A Tribute To Native Music Icons. Producers Matt DeMatteo and Derek Miller, Executive Producer Tim Johnson, Exhibition Curator Christopher Turner, National Museum of the American Indian.

Johnny Powless returns with a 10-point weekend By Jim Windle NLL – There was lots of National Lacrosse League (NLL) action this past weekend as the teams vie for playoff positions this spring. Sunday night in Georgia, the Swarm overtook the Rochester Knighthawks 15-9 in a game, which Six Nations’ Adam Bomberry, recently called to active duty by the Knighthawks, score his first NLL goal. The Swarm was led by Lyle Thompson’s 10-point night (6G,4A), brothers Miles Thompson recorded four assists and Jerome added to the win (1G,1A). The return of Johnny Powless produced two goals and three assists in both the Swarm win Sunday, and their 1312 win over the Toronto Rock Feb. 17. Meanwhile, at the Mohegan Sun Arena, the Buffalo Bandits and the New England BlackWolves were in a titanic battle with the Bandits winning 16-15 with Mitch de Snoo scoring, unassisted the game winner 25 seconds into the extra frame. Saturday, the Rochester Knighthawks continued their downward spiral, losing to the Toronto Rock 10-6 at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester. The K-hawks, decimated by injuries to Sid Smith, Cody Jamieson (out for the season) and others have not won since January 28, losing

four straight in February. Adam Bomberry made his mark scoring a Rochester powerplay goal late in the fourth quarter albeit in a losing effort. He has a goal and an assist in three games played so far this season. Out west the Saskatchewan Rush inched past Colorado Mammoth 8-7, and Vancouver bested Calgary 13-10 in Six Nations Vaughn Harris’ first NLL appearance as a Roughneck. “My brother, Roger Vyse, is the person I’ve always looked up to,” says Harris. ``He’s been my role model. He showed me what was possible and he showed me that you can make your dreams come true. He is the big reason I’m here today.`` Friday night at the ACC the Rock took the Swarm to overtime where Johnny Powless marked his return to the NLL with three goals including the OT game winner, and two assists. “Just being back’s awesome,” said Powless. “Being back with the guys is really fun, and it’s a bonus when we win both games.” The Thompson boys continued on their torrid points pace for the Swarm with a combined 15 points, Lyle leading the way with a goal and eight assists. In New England Friday night, the Buffalo Bandits held onto a 14-11 win. The NLL standings

Indigenous games brings out girls U19 lacrosse By Chezney Martin Every four years the Native American Indigenous Games (NAIG) brings indigenous youth together in a display or athleticism and sportsmanship; but something new has broken ground for the 2017 event set to take place in Toronto, Ontario. Instead of field lacrosse, there has been a shift in tides. For the first time in NAIG history, there will be a show of female talent that has largely been untapped in box lacrosse. Try outs for the Girls U19 Team headed by Coach Pat Pembleton came to a close on Saturday, February 18, and 35 expectant players are now waiting on the team list to be released. This genre of lacrosse has taken off with success across Canada, as players from Six Nations, Wallaceburg, London and even Akwesasne came together to fight for a spot as one of 19 players on the representing Ontario team. Of these players is Julie-Anne Sandy and Tawnee Martin; both from

Holding a solid nine years of experience and fighting to be recognized out of two other goaltenders, Sandy said she “went out there with a lot of confidence”. “I've been training for quite a while now and I know a couple of my

friends have been training too,” said Sandy. “It's a good feeling because we're being able to show people that us girls are able to play at that level of lacrosse and to be recognized for it.” Blocking shots from former teammates and performing a shut out during the inter-squad scrimmage; Sandy said

second half which Maracle followed from Smith at 1:55. Rayce Vyse evened the score at 7-7 from Roger Vyse. St. Catharines wrestled the lead back at 10:16 to end the third quarter. Smith drew the Snipers even again, from Roger Vyse to begin the final 15-minutes, which Six Nations owned. Longboat, Smith and Roger Vyse piled on unanswered goals to take the 11-8 win with Chase Martin and Warren Hill sharing the goaltending duties. In Paris, the RiverWolves outlasted the Peterborough Timbermen 15-14. The RiverWolves held a 6-2 first quarter lead and a 10-5 halftime advantage. The Timbermen came alive for second half, chipping away

at the Paris lead but fell one goal short of sending the game for an overtime decision. Paris was led by Brenden Thenhaus, who tallied four goals and four assists in the Wolves win. Dan Keane had a six-point night with a goal and five assists while Mike Burk scored one and assisted on four. Saturday, Feb. 25th, the RiverWolves travel to face the St. Catharines ShockWave in a 4 p.m. start, while the Six Nations Snipers are in Toronto against the Monarchs. Sunday, Feb. 26th, Oshawa is in Peterborough, and St. Catharines visits the Toronto Monarchs.

it's all about the waiting game now to see if she landed a spot and she said she's “happy” to be able to participate. “I feel really good about this because it's all indigenous girls from all over Ontario coming to try out for the love of the game,” she said. “A lot of us played each other in regular season games or

tournaments, so it's a lot more exciting that some of us will be able to play on a team together.” On the other side of the spectrum of the tryout, Martin was making her debut after sitting out for a season due to ACL surgery. “It was a bit scary because I was out of shape and I didn't know if I

would re-injure my knee or not,” said Martin. “After realizing I wasn't in shape or anything, I started to train every day before the last tryout. I was running stairs, going to the gym, doing sprints, even swimming to try to build up my muscle and endurance. So, that was a whole two months of training before this last tryout.” Her hard work paid off after she was placed on the Green Team for the inter-squad game, and scored four consecutive goals. But Martin said she was still “nervous”. “I assumed everyone was training just as hard as me,” she said. “But once practice started, I felt more comfortable being on the floor and working to the best of my ability, and I honestly surprised myself.” Her words of encouragement are simple for those hoping to try out in the next four years; “you can do it.”

Six Nations Snipers tied for first in ALL By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Snipers picked off the visiting St. Catharines ShockWave 11-8 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, Saturday led by Roger Vyse and Travis Longboat who each scored two goals and three assists. Layne Smith scored three times and assisted on another. It was a fast paced and close checking game that could have gone either way up to the half time intermission. After St. Catharines opened up a 7-2 lead, the Snipers turned the game around. Haodais Maracle opened the floodgate at 4:08 of the second period.

Jr. C hockey fans filled all available parking spaces within blocks of the Hagersville Arena Saturday night for Game No. 7 of the Bloomfield Divisional playoff series. Inside it was even more crowded as fans from Dunnville and Hagersville converged to cheer their hometown heroes to victory. Despite pretty well everything going their way, the Hagersville Hawks were eliminated in a 2-1 nail biter. Hagersville outshot the Dunnville Mudcats 42-20, had four unfruitful powerplay opportunities, and generally carried the game. The difference was Jesse Schoeman in the Mudcats’ net who turned away 41 shots for the all-important win. In a fast first period, the Mudcats capitalized on a goalie interference call against Jacob Harrison with a powerplay goal at 17:28.

Jamieson surgery for ACL succesful Submitted article ROCHESTER – The Rochester Knighthawks announced today that forward and former National Lacrosse League MVP Cody Jamieson had successful surgery to repair a torn anterior crucial ligament (ACL). The surgery was performed on Feb. 15 by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ilya Voloshin. "Thanks everyone for the well wishes again," Jamieson posted on Instagram. "Feeling like we just went through this, but I had a success-

ful ACL reconstruction. Can't wait to get back training to play with the boys!" The 29-year-old suffered the injury on Jan. 28 at the Air Canada Centre after posting two assists in a 9-8 win over the Toronto Rock. The former first overall pick ranks third alltime in team history in goals (199), assists (329) and points (528). Over his seven seasons in the NLL, Jamieson has won three Champion’s Cups and two Championship Game MVP honors.

BRANTFORD – It was all Brantford Blast in the first period, all Whitby in the second and a freefor-all in the third period Saturday night in Whitby, Ont. When the final buzzer rang out, the visiting first place Whitby Dunlops took the marbles with a 7-5 final score. The Brantford loss comes on the heels of Friday night’s 5-2 win at home over the visiting Hamilton Steelhawks. The Blast will close out the regular season with a home-and-home series against the Hamilton Steelhawks starting Friday night at the Brantford and District Civic Centre before taking the 403 to Hamilton’s Mountain Arena Saturday. Barring any unforeseen bad luck, the Blast will likely finish the regular season in third place, perhaps

fourth depending on how the St. Catharines Athletics end their regular season schedule. Thorold is two points behind Brantford heading into this weekend’s games. Stoney Creek will finish in second place.

great scoring opportunities and a “head contact” minor and misconduct against Dunnville’s Aaron Krajcir at 15:14. Stephen Tierney had less work at the other end of the ice facing only 20 shots, but two of them eluded him. Elsewhere post-season action saw the Grimsby Peach Kings sweep the

Simcoe Storm, and the Glanbrook Regals eliminate Niagara four games to one and Dundas moving past the Port Dover Sailors in six games. The divisional winners will face off against the winners of the Doherty division where the Paris Mounties are still alive.

Thorold Blackhawks fold before season ends By Jim Windle THOROLD – The Ontario Jr. B fraternity got one city shorter this week with the announcement from Thorold that the Blackhawks organization would not complete the season and will drop out of the running. Internal issues with the franchise caused a number of players to leave the organization making it impossible to ice a competitive team for the remainder of the 2017 season and maybe beyond. Distribution of points and playoff lineups will be adjusted but the Blackhawks had no chance of making the playoffs this year anyhow. According to a statement released by the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League it states, "Please be advised that

They had just changed their logo and now the Thorold team will not finish the season. the Thorold Blackhawks will not finish the season due to continuing roster challenges ‎ impacted by illness, injuries, and suspensions. The OHA in collaboration with the GOJHL are considering what adjustments may be needed for the remainder of the season.” Details should be forthcoming in the near future. The adjustment will not directly affect the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs.

Choosing to Live Healthy always open for you PAID ADVERTISEMENT

By Jayson Koblun

SIX NATIONS – Five years after closing up her largescale gym and downsizing her business, Personal Trainer Corey Garlow is ready to become the go-togym for personal training once again. “I used to have a fairly large gym in the village of Ohsweken,” said Corey, who is from Six Nations and is the owner of Choosing to Live Healthy. “But due to competition and high overhead costs, I made the hard decision five years ago to close up the storefront and downsize. Now I just need to let people know I never left — I’m still here and still open.” Choosing to Live Healthy is celebrating 20 years of business this year. Corey started the business in 1997 as a spa on Sour Springs Rd. and soon built her own building in the village. She remained in the village as the only gym on the territory for a long time, and stayed there for roughly 15 years.

Today the business is owned, operated and managed by Corey all on her own. And although she admits downsizing was a difficult decision she sees the benefit for her family, herself, and the community. “I love what I do, I always have,” she said. “It was really hard to downsize. I had to develop a new business plan and al-

most reinvent my business in a way. Instead of having a receptionist, multiple trainers, and class instructors to manage, now I do it all on my own and clients deal with me directly.” She said that downsizing has helped her and her family spend more time together. “Running a large gym meant I didn’t have a lot of time to spend with my

husband Shawn or my children Farah (6) and Tristan (9).” Corey still offers her clients almost all of the same services in her beautifully designed and renovated home gym as she offered in the larger gym. The only difference now is that the experience is much more personal; workouts, spa treatments and personal training can easily be tai-

lored to each and every client’s needs and it’s easily to trust a workout plan when you meet with the owner of the gym herself at least once a week, or, whenever it fits into your schedule. “People are very busy these days and that’s completely understandable. Let me help you find a plan that you can actually stick with and make work within your day-to-day life.” Corey offers a widerange of services and has remained certified and up-to-date with all the latest workout trends and business models throughout the years. She enjoys the one-on-one workouts with her clients and also offers custom group rates for various sized groups. “I’m not just an educated personal trainer. I’m also certified in various massages, facials, manicure, pedicures, and various therapy treatments,” she said. “Waxing is one of my most asked for services.” Corey said that her gym is not for women only and

a lot of men come to her for training and advice too. “I love what I do so much.” Corey said that the next steps she is going to take in furthering her business is going to be reminding the community that she is still here. “My skills are so useful for the community and surrounding areas. I can come to your home for a workout if that’s something you need, the Health Services department can call me to come teach classes or help with various therapeutic techniques, or if you have a swimming pool I can even come help with water exercises. “I never left. I’m still here.” Choosing to Live Healthy can be found at 536 Seneca Road. The business is run by appointment only. Call or text Corey at 519-770-7671.

McMaster University invites applications for the Director of the McMaster Indigenous Research Institute (MIRI). The institute was officially launched on 1 July 2016 (*details are available in Note 1). The Director will have an internationally distinguished program of research and teaching record in any area of Indigenous Research. S/he will be appointed (tenure track or tenured) at the Associate Professor or Professor level to one or more of the six faculties at McMaster University (DeGroote School of Business, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Sciences). The appointment as Director will be for a five year, renewable term. The Director is expected to raise awareness, attract substantial research support, educate and advance Indigenous research methodologies. S/he will emphasize and support community capacity building and research priorities, pro-mote and foster innovation, collaboration and partnership, enhance existing research infrastructure at McMaster and build sustainable Indigenous research infrastructure. S/he will also be very active in the recruitment, mentorship and training of undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and work to build greater research capacity and strength in Indigenous research across all faculties at McMaster University - * Terms of Reference are available in Note 2. McMaster has a geographic proximity to Six Nations of the Grand River, the largest First Nation in Canada, along with a quarter century of collaborative work developing Indigenous educational and research programs. President Patrick Deane’s principles and priorities articulated in his “Forward with Integrity” open letter (*Note 3) to the University community include: cultivating human potential; adopting a multi-disciplinary perspective; and engaging our local, national, and international communities. Furthermore, he has given our researchers the mandate to “build on the work that has already begun to strengthen and support Indigenous learners and Indigenous scholarship”. Additionally, McMaster University is ranked in the top 100 of both the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. A medium-sized university, it nonetheless has the sixth-largest research income in Canada. It has a large, attractive campus, the interior of which is open only to pedestrians and cyclists, and is at the western end of Lake Ontario. The University is minutes from downtown Hamilton and the activities that a major city has to offer. Hamilton has been ranked among the top cities in Canada to do business and to invest. McMaster University has a strong commitment to achieving diversity among faculty and staff that reflects the multi-cultural makeup of our student body. The successful candidate will be committed to inclusion and excellence and the Search Committee is especially interested in candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching and/or service, to the diversity of the academic community. Women and applicants from traditionally underrepresented populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Gender diversity is being addressed at McMaster University through our policies and actions. One recent action in this area was the completion of a gender pay equity study and a resultant base salary adjustment applied to all female faculty members in July 2015. Faculty members at McMaster University enjoy a number of both personal and professional benefits. University employees are offered an excellent benefits package which includes, but is not limited to, extended health care benefits, dental care, group life, long term disability, worldwide travel assistance, and retirement plan.
