Prominent Canadians launch new partnership initiative By Jim Windle OTTAWA – A group of highly influential and distinguished Canadians from a broad cross section of the political and corporate elite have come together to encourage Canada to strengthen its partnerships with Aboriginal people across the county, thereby aiming to strengthen Canada as a whole. The core group includes former prime ministers Paul Martin and Joe Clark along with former premier Bob Rae, former auditor general Sheila Fraser, Justice Murray Sinclair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Aboriginal leaders Ovide Mercredi, Phil Fontaine, Mary Simon and Sheila Watt-Cloutier, among others. According to their website, “Canadians for a New Partnership is built on the principle that Indigenous and other Canadians can together build a strong economy and values-based society that will benefit present and future generations. It is a principle shared by a growing number of other Canadians from all walks of life, including churches, businesses, academia and the public service. The overriding mission is to build a better and stronger Canada, and many are signing

Some recoil from the reference of being included as Canadians, in the organizations materials. Mi’kmaw lawyer Pam Palmater, who ran for National Chief of the AFN last election, is troubled by the emphasis being places on extraction of resources

from traditional territories. Siku Allooloo of Fort Smith asked “Why’s money always the basis of ‘new relationships’ with Canada? What about recovering our autonomy, land & the bases of our nationhood?” Gwitchin laywer Kris Stat Statnyk said he hopes “free prior and informed consent” are part of the values subscribed to by the organization in its pursuit of a stronger economy. Paul Martin, in particular, has been openly critical of how the present government is dealing with, or rather, not dealing with, Native issues since leaving the political forum in 2006, and has been calling for meaningful and mutually acceptable changes in that relationship.

Man found guilty in deaths of two Six Nations youth By Jim Windle

HAMILTON — It was a tragedy that could and should have been avoided, but after almost two years, the families of Yegwenya (Gwen) Delta Rayne Martin, 18, and William (Will) Randy Harris, 15, have some semblance of closure. The two Six Nations young people were killed and a third teen, Adam Roy Todd Bain, 19, was severely injured when Travis Squire-Hill crashed his wife’s pickup truck into an ATV and a dirt bike on Forth Line Road at Tuscarora Road in 2012, and then fled the seen, leaving the teens to die on the side of the road. The verdict was read by Justice James Turnbull last week to a packed Hamilton courtroom filled with friends and family of the victims. Travis Squire-Hill was initially charged with criminal negligence

causing death, but was found not guilty of that charge. There was an audible gasp from the gallery when they heard the words, “not guilty” spoken by the Judge. But Justice Turnbull instead convicted Squire-Hill of a series of lesser charges, and explained why he could not find, beyond reasonable doubt, that Squire-Hill was intoxicated at the time of the crash, since he left the scene and was only picked up by Six Nations Police three hours after the incident took place. The teens were driving home along the shoulder of Fourth Line Road from their first formal date on Dec. 3, 2012, along with Bain, a friend, when Squire-Hill slammed into the ATV and dirt bike from behind. Squire-Hill was well known by Six Nations Police and was declared a “fugitive from justice” after not presenting him-

self for jail, on another drunk driving charge, two months earlier. He was not only prohibited from driving, but also from even sitting behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle after previous drunk driving convictions. Evidence showed that after a meal at the Burger Barn, the trio was on their way home the evening of December 3, 2012 when the crash occurred. The ATV, equipped with lights and reflectors, was driven by Adam with Gwen seated behind him. Will was Adam’s best friend and went along with them, accompanying the couple home on his dirt bike, driving ahead. The ATV was straddling the pavement and the soft shoulder of the road and the bike was on the shoulder when Squire-Hill approached at a high rate of speed, with on open case of beer in

the cab with him, slamming into the rear of the ATV and the bike before driving off. Police investigation show he was traveling at about 136 kph and that he braked for only one second before striking the ATV, throwing Gwen 66 meters from the scene of the impact. The body of Will and the crushed ATV were found by police in the ditch along side of the road where the vehicle spun after the collision. Adam, who had received a broken ankle and two crushed vertebra in his back was found laying on the side of the road, crying for help and calling for his friends. Squire-Hill’s vehicle continued more than 100 yards down the road before clipping off a hydro pole. He got out of the vehicle and was picked up by a black SUV and driven away from the scene. Six Nations police soon found him, three hours later,

drunk. Turnbull found Squire-Hill guilty of the lesser charge of dangerous driving causing death, and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. The Judge explained that because Squire-Hill left the scene and could not be tested for alcohol or drug use

since it was three hours after the fact, he could not, beyond reasonable doubt, find him guilty of the original charge. His formal decision was contained in a 105 page-document, which he read in the courtroom. In addition, Justice CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

EDITORIAL: A new partnership? This week’s launch of the organization Canadians For a New Partnership (CFNP) – a high profile group bringing together Canadian politicians, business people, and Indigenous leaders just made history. It did so by becoming the most powerful organization that unites members of the Canadian elite with the indigenous representatives of Aboriginal Canada. Have a look at the board of directors – it’s an all star cast. On the Canadian side you’ve got two former Prime Ministers of Canada – one of whom is a billionaire and best buddies with those who own the economy; a former Premier and opposition leader who is now a top player in the Ring of Fire negotiations; the highly trusted former auditor general of the corporation of Canada, top academics, scholars and jurists; one of Canada’s most beloved CBC radio hosts; and of course a healthy dose of individuals whose main claim to fame is their involvement with extractive industries interested in operating on indigenous territories. On the Aboriginal side of the organization, was a similarly star studded listing of personalities. Former AFN chiefs, organizational and territorial leaders, lead negotiators in major land claims and modern treaties – in short the most experienced people inhabiting the Aboriginal institutions of the Canadian state. So let us take a moment to let this all soak in. A significant section of the Canadian elite just created a joint organi-

zation with Indigenous peoples for the purposes of building a “positive, healthy, productive and meaningful future for the generations yet to come.” This organization is now a significant player on the national scene of indigenous politics within Canada. And to what do we owe the creation of this unprecedented new organization to? Quite simply to the actions of Mr. Stephen Harper. It would appear that there’s a growing consensus within the Canadian elite that the way in which Stephen Harper is managing Canada’s relationship to indigenous people is deeply counter productive to their interests. Harper’s actions are starting to create a real problem. Harper’s disrespect of the Idle No More movement, his stonewalling on the call for a MMIW inquiry, his pushing forward of legislation like C-10 and omnibus bills seeking to terminate Indigenous rights has united Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island like never before. Harper has been sending Indigenous peoples a loud and clear message: Canada is not their partner, not their friend or ally, and it doesn’t give a damn about what the treaties say. Consequently, Onkwehon:we people are trying out new approaches. The vast but diffuse Idle No More movement has seeded the ground for many new kinds of resistance, and many old forms of resistance remain. Some like the Unist’ot’en have built communities directly in

the way of approaching pipeline routes that they swear they will never allow to come through. Some like the Tsilhqot’in have pursued Supreme Court decisions that validate Aboriginal title to their own lands. And particularly threatening for the non-native members of the CFNP, are actions such as those being taken by the Atikamekw First Nation. This nation recently announced its sovereignty over 80,000 square km of territory (about an hour north of Montreal) and says any development in that area must get its approval to go ahead. The Canadian Press reports on the matter succinctly: “Armed with a Supreme Court of Canada judgment recognizing ancestral rights for First Nations in British Columbia, the Atikamekw want to have their say on projects located in the Nitaskinan region. Constant Awashish, grand chief of the Atikamekw First Nation, says 35 years of territorial negotiations with governments have provided nothing. Awashish said Monday that elected members of the aboriginal First Nation adopted the unilateral declaration of sovereignty to assert their right to self-government on the Nitaskinan region.” Those leading the attempt of the CFNP to create “new partnership” between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples of this country want to do it now. They want to get the ball rolling before very many other Onkwehon:we communities take the same path as the Atikamekw.

Understanding how BC Supreme Court ruling affects all Onkwehon:we PART ONE

By Rob Miller On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada released its reasons in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia. The decision is the first time that an Aboriginal group has proved Aboriginal title over a significant land base in Canada. However, it is also a landmark decision for another reason: it will fundamentally change the way in which resource-based projects in Canada are regulated and approved. To understand the implications of the Tsilhqot’in case, it is necessary to understand why Aboriginal rights and title have special significance in Canada. This understanding begins with a very simple history: Aboriginal people were here when European set settlers arrived, living on and using the land that would become known as Canada. These first inhabitants were never conquered and, in many cases, never signed treaties surrendering their interest in the land. This is especially true in British Columbia. There are Aboriginal interests in Canadian land and resources that pre-date European contact and have never been surrendered. Canadian courts have acknowledged these interests as Aboriginal rights and title. Aboriginal rights recognize the rights of Aboriginal people, which pre-dated European contact, to carry out certain activities on traditional lands, such as hunting, fishing, gathering and a host of other activities. Aboriginal title, on the other hand, recognizes the pre-existing ownership of the land by Aboriginal people. Until recently, it was not clear to Canada how Aboriginal title could be prov-

en by Aboriginal groups. It was also not clear what a successful claim to Aboriginal title meant for Aboriginal people, the federal and provincial governments, or non-Aboriginal people using the land. These are the issues that the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Tsilhqot’in addresses. The key principles regarding Aboriginal title in Canada are: • Aboriginal title confers on Aboriginal groups the exclusive right to decide how the land is used and the exclusive right to benefit from those uses. • Aboriginal title can be proved over large areas of land that were used nomadically or seasonally by Aboriginal groups, not just over discrete parcels of intense use and occupation such as traditional village sites. • Where Aboriginal title is proved, provincial and federal laws do not automatically cease to apply; rather, these laws continue to be valid provided that any infringements of Aboriginal title are either consented to by Aboriginal groups or are justified (more on this below). According to Supreme Court of Canada, Aboriginal title is similar to private property ownership. This means that an Aboriginal group that has

proven Aboriginal title has the right to decide how the land will be used; the right to use, occupy and possess the land; the right to the economic benefits from the land; and the right to pro-actively use and manage the land. However, one important restriction distinguishes Aboriginal title land from private property ownership: because Aboriginal title is held by an Aboriginal group as opposed to an individual, it must be held and managed for the benefit of current and future generations. This means that it can only be transferred to the government, and it cannot be used or developed in a manner that would deprive future generations of the ability to benefit from the land in a meaningful way. Governments and other non-Aboriginal users of Aboriginal title land will need to secure the consent of Aboriginal groups, and if that consent cannot be obtained, governments will be held to the high standard of having to justify any infringement on Aboriginal title. Rob Miller is a co-founder of the Toronto law firm of Miller Titerle + Company LLP and the leader of its First Nations Economic Development group.

Are you ready for what will come? Dear Editors, With winter fast approaching and government workers back in of office full time this week, I thought this would be the perfect time to address community members as well as community leaders and ask a few questions. With the passing of Bill C-10 [in the House of Commons], and the momentary uproar that it caused within our communities, we saw our leaders say things like “any means possible” and “we’re ready for war” and I would like to pose this question... Are we? Are we really ready to take on this monumental struggle that has been presented to us? Many people would say yes we are, but I’m seeing something completely different. Our community’s leaders have said these things and left us with no game plan. OK

so you’re really ready for war? How many of us have spent this summer stock piling non-perishables and water? How many of us have military training? How many of us are really ready to do this? How many of us are aware that just over in Niagara region “military maneuvers” are taking place? Have any of these leaders came to us and explained that by saying “we’re ready for war” or “by any means possible” that they have actually, on behalf of Six Nations, made a direct threat to the government? Harper’s government has thrown so much at our people the last few months that we are losing sight of the big things and focusing on the small, we aren’t able to keep our minds on one issue at a time, why? Because Harper is not a stupid man, he has his eye on the prize and he’s going for it. The prize he is seek seeking is the termination of the Native peoples. The

First Nations Termination Plan came to light in late March, and people weren’t really paying attention, but I was. With Bill C-10 we are looking at the obliteration of our economy. With no economy we become reliant on the government, with government reliance their “take it or leave it” offer of this termination plan will become a reality. And just in case people have forgotten, we are the big leagues, the giant if you will. We have people constantly looking to us, we are the richest, largest and one of the most polit politically active territories in Canada, who do you think they are coming for first? The way this government has been pushing and passing laws and acts it won’t take long before the “Indian” ceases to exist, unless we stand up and do something. Big talk will get us nowhere in this sit situation. If we are expect expected to protect ourselves and we are expected to fight this act, we need our

W O O D L A N D C U LT U R A L C E N T R E

leaders to stand up and lead. We need YOU to tell us what the plan is, otherwise we are just a bunch of people running around like chickens with our heads cut off. A lot of people like to think that this will only affect the “cigarette people” but how many of us know someone working in a smoke shop? How many of us friends and family that work for a factory or manufacturer? I’m betting that number is really high. How many people own or work in businesses on the reserve? If Martial Law comes into effect here in Six Nations it will crash and deplete our economy and bring Six Nations to its knees. So the question to our leaders now is: Who’s going to hit their knees first? Us or Them? Hmmm... there’s some food for thought. Cheyenne Williams, Ohsweken

Correction on Library Car Raffle article I have been made aware that there were several errors made in last week’s story, “Becca gets a new ride.” Firstly, Shayne Maracle is incorrectly referred to as Shayne Martin-Maracle. Secondly, the article indicated that Shayne Maracle was a partner in KT Tobacco, along with Ken Mt. Pleasant which is incorrect. As the writer of that piece, I accept full responsibility for these mistakes. As I found out later, Mr. Maracle is in fact not a partner in the business but rather manages it on behalf of Mr. Mt. Pleasant. Quotes made by Mr. Maracle were in fact from his position as manager, and not owner of KT Tobacco. It was Mr. Mt. Pleasant himself who bought and donated the car,

which was raffled for the benefit of the fund raising drive for the new Six Nations Public Library and Archive. More than $62,000 was raised for the cause, which was one and a half times more than the cost of the car itself. I would like to publicly accept responsibility for the erroneous assumption of partnership between the two gentlemen, and apologize for the mistake I made. Mr. Mt. Pleasant singly deserves high praise and honour for his very generous donation, which was much appreciated by Librarian Samantha Saunders and the rest of the community of Six Nations at large.

This is what I was taught By Nahnda Garlow

One of the most empowering things I was taught about when I was on my healing journey was something that professionals call Lateral Violence. This is a chronic set of learned behaviors that people fall into when they feel stuck in an oppressive situation where they feel like they don’t have a voice. Not surprisingly it is part of the emotional leftovers of colonialism that spiritually lingers over reservations across North America. Just like physical illness, lateral violence is a spiritual/emotional illness that presents evidence or symptoms. Things like name calling, chronically blaming others, belittling people’s opinions, making up dramatic situations about another person or yourself, gossiping and spreading rumors, talking badly about other people, blocking other people from success or achievements, and ganging up on people are just some of the vicious symptoms that are present when individuals are “infected” by lateral violence. The behaviors of lat lateral violence can be contagious if people feel that they have no authority to fight a common enemy or

oppressor. Instead of unifying to fight the oppressive powers that be, people engage in fighting one another hence the term ‘lateral’. It can be considered an STD – or spiritually transmitted disease – where newcomers, people with talent, people who are getting attention, or people who are well liked are the most vulnerable to this specialized form of bullying. Experts also say that lateral violence is inflamed by suppressing feelings of anger and shame – which turn into a kind of poison inside the spirit of a person, eventually coming out contorted in the form of chronic jealousy, blame and bitterness. Living under the dark cloud of lateral violence can seriously affect an individual’s health; causing them to suffer from anxiety, depression, weight issues, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness and even suppressed immune function. For years after I was free from the extreme bullying I experienced as a child I battled an internal war. At first it festered as self-loathing and eventually that morphed into shame coming out as these

ugly behaviors; gossiping, ganging up on people, spreading rumors. I was right caught up and was not using a good mind at all. One day well after high school was over I ran into a group of girls I went to school with. I was genuinely happy to see them and went over to talk. Now for the life of me I can’t remember this one particular girl’s name but I will never forget what she said. “Wow I haven’t seen you in forever! How’s it going?” I asked her casually. “Don’t even talk to me. You ruined my life. You were the biggest bully to me in high school. You lit literally ruined my whole year” she shouted. Up to this point I don’t

think I recognized that I had a problem. I always felt like I was the targeted victim of bullying. But here I was, standing in a circle of people I thought were my friends - shocked to realize that I had become someone’s bully! I’d internalized my own pain so much that without realizing what was going on, I had become what I loathed. I tried to somehow apologize to her in that moment but I’m not sure it was received – and I get it. Honestly, I’m grateful ‘the girl I forget’ remembered me and that she was brave enough to rip a strip off of me in public. Had it not been for that humiliation I might not have ever learned any better. The thing about lateral violence is that because it’s systemic – it’s not necessarily someone’s fault. They become the learned knee jerk emotional responses to feeling powerless and trapped in the survival mode, battling over limited resources. We as Haudenosaune of Grand River have found

ourselves in unspeak unspeakable trouble – but we have survived. We’ve endured through attempted genocide, displacement, war, famine, poverty, slander, sterilization and more. However despite centuries of attempts to destroy us – we are alive. Now I can’t speak for all, but I was taught that is probably a sign that the Creator put us here for a purpose and that His intentions are that we remain. Perhaps now that we have survived through our collective oppression it is time to drop the fear based survival mentality we were taught, stop fighting one another once and for all and again pick up the victory-based traditional mentality of well-being. Perhaps we can move above our oppression and collectively trust the Creator loves us and will provide whatever we need. He’s looking out for us continually for a reason. Now I have learned a new behavior and this is what I was taught: Use a Good Mind, Love One An-

other, Be Thankful and Maintain the Peace with all Haudenosaunee people – even if they act all sorts of wrong. This is not a new message, but an old one! The Creator sent the Peacemaker to the Haudenosaune people with a clear message: Stop Fighting! He uprooted the Tree of Peace and our grandparents cast down the weapons of war against one another for all time. These are our collective roots. This is the foundation of our Confederacy. This is a traditional value. This is our beginning and our future. I was taught about something called sga’t nigoha – coming together with one mind and that is the mind of peace. If we can come to one mind centered on peace and the collective well-being of all people – perhaps we can transform the rez, overcome our history, share this peace with all who want to share it with us and take hold of our future to become who the Creator intended for us to become.

replace the smoking and drinking with something else, so I immediately started running outdoors and found this very therapeutic as it gave me time to clear my head, think and get fresh air into my ever-so-damaged lungs. Next I explored hot yoga, something I had always heard about but had always convinced myself that I wasn’t capable of doing.

From there it was a series of positive steps towards a healthier lifestyle. I joined a nearby women’s boot camp, which focused on holistic eating, curve enhancing and friendship building. Since I was finally starting to appreciate and respect my body, I realized that I needed to nourish and fuel it properly. My relationship with food was improving, even

though I believe it is a life-long battle for those who’ve suffered eating disorders, and I finally allowed myself to enjoy food. I found myself effortlessly walking up early before all of my roommates in order to be able to go for a run or go workout before starting my day. I felt like I was on top of the world! I found myself having so much energy, not only for working out, but for lots of activities. I became more confident and social, and explored interests of mine like jewelry making, dancing and cooking. My mentality had shifted from being uninspired to wanting more for my future and myself. I realized that my life wasn’t predetermined and that there was so much for me to learn and grow from. I looked into education programs in the field of nutrition and found the Institute of Holistic Nutrition online and was immediately drawn to the program. With the support and push of a good friend of mine, I decided that it was the perfect time for me to start this new adventure and

TORONTO – If I were to go back in time and have a conversation with my younger self about my goals for the future, I can almost guarantee that she would not expect me to tell her that I would be venturing into a career in the health and fitness industry. Rewind 5 years and you would find a lost, sick, unmotivated girl with no substantial goals for herself. At that point in my life I believed that higher education was not for me and that I was destined for life of simply “getting by”. I felt that my person was controlled by an eating disorder, which developed when I was only 12-years-old, and grew into a monster that had total domination over me. It was my best friend, my boyfriend, my family, my worst enemy, my religion, my everything. Needless to say, I had little to no self worth for my body, mind or spirit and found myself in my early twenties waking up every day with out a purpose or any sort of passion. The abuse to my body extended to oth-

er unhealthy habits and practices such as smoking, drinking, and drugs often in an out-of-control manner. It had gotten to a point where I was smoking about a pack of cigarettes a day and could barely run a minute without feeling winded and nauseous. I wasn’t living. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of self-hate and selfabuse. One day while visiting my mother, noting the detrimental effects smoking was having on me, she passed me a box of Nicorette patches in an effort to encourage me to quit. I was reluctant at first but the next day something came over me. I told myself, “OK, I’ll try this.” I used the patches for maybe 3 days, yet remarkably it was enough and I successfully kicked my smoking habit. I know for most people it certainly isn’t that easy, and I failed a number of attempts to quit in the past myself. I think subconsciously my body was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. From that day onward I finally gave myself permission to love myself. I quickly needed to

The program honestly changed my life and opened my eyes to the world in a way I never thought it would, not only with the course material, but also through the amazing and knowledgeable teachers and my classmates who have come from all walks of life. Being around like-minded people is inspiring and uplifting and gives you hope. Although I am not quite finished the program – only 4 more classes to go – my thirst for knowledge and information has pushed me into new ventures. I have recently started the certification process of becoming a personal trainer and I hope to write my exam for that in 2 months. Attaining these credentials will open so many doors for me and has allowed me to finally realize I do have goals, and that I am capable of achieving them. My greatest goal is to have an influence on others who need motivation to lead a more active, healthy, balanced and fulfilling life.

Bringing Indigenous ways of thinking and health together By Lucho Granados Ceja BRANTFORD – There is little in the world that is more important than our health. While all health agencies strive to ensure that the services being provided are meeting the needs of their target population, De dwa da dehs nye>s has the unique challenge of doing so while also honouring and respecting Indigenous ways of think thinking and service provision. It is engrained in the mot motto of the organization, “We are taking care of each other amongst ourselves.” Over the last few years there has been renewed attention paid to the health of the Indigenous population in Canada. De dwa da dehs nye>s has worked diligently to respond the these needs in a “holistic” way, as Board of Directors Chairperson Pat Mandy explains it. The organization offers a wide range of both preventative and primary healthcare services, from clinical, to mental health, to health promotion, and tradition-

al healing as well. The thinking underscoring this method of service delivery addresses not just physical health but the mental, emotional, spiritual, and cultural aspects as well. Wellness isn’t just being free of illness; it’s about having the conditions in place that allow people to live a healthy lifestyle. Things such as a person’s income, education level, and housing situation can affect their state of wellness. The health centre places special emphasis on coordination and cooperation with other agencies in order to address what is referred to as the social determinates of health. That cooperation allows patients and clients to help resolve other things in their lives that can help them lead healthier lives. It’s a method of healthcare delivery that seems to be working for all of those involved, from the patients to the doctors and nurses themselves. Constance McKnight, Executive Director of the centre, is proud of the low turnover

system in Canada can be confusing, this program provides a worker who helps self-identified Indigenous people navigate the system through the coordination of services, the eliminations of barriers, follow-ups and referrals. For Mandy, “It’s not just talking the talk, but walking the talk.” That means working to ensure that the organizational culture reflects the Indigenous cultures and ways

of being. Patients are free to choose if they wish to receive Traditional healing or “western” medicine, or a combination of both. The centre is governed by a 9 person board, 7 of whom identify as Indigenous, and the staff is mostly composed of Indigenous people as well. The goal however is to have 100% of the staff and board be Indigenous peoples within 5 years. Mandy also explains that the Board has adopted the 7 Grandfather Teachings as the values of the organization. The staff and board at De dwa da dehs nye>s work hard every day to provide vital services to the Indigenous populations of Brantford, Hamil-

ton, and Niagara. “We really do try to go the extra mile,” says McKnight. In the fall the centre will be hosting focus groups in the community to gather feedback and work to address any gaps in service. Those who are interested in accessing the services of De dwa da dehs nye>s, including the new APN program, are encouraged to get in touch with the centre, as they are currently accepting clients and patients. Anyone who self-identifies as Indigenous is eligible. They can be reached in Brantford at 519-752-4340 and in Hamilton at 905-544-4320. As McKnight says, with a smile, “It’s an absolutely amazing place to be.”

Haudenosaunee Traditional Healers Reprinted from the Centre for Nation Building, Mohawk Nation Territory

Traditional medicine and healers are part of the foundation of every Indigenous society and Nation across Turtle Island. The use of Haudenosaunee traditional medicines can be traced as far back as the Creation Story. According to a report released by the Centre for Nation Building in Akwesasne, “From the very beginning, the Haudenosaunee were given their Original Instructions. These instructions told us who we are, why we were given life, what our responsibilities are as human beings, and how we are to go about on this earth. Sometimes these instructions came in the form of stories. One of these stories provides instructions about Haudenosaunee medicines. It is said that be-

fore we were here on this earth, we lived in a sky world high above us. And it is here, in the sky world, the Creator had provided the people with everything necessary for their lives. As Sky Woman fell through the tree hole and began her descent to Earth she tried to grab onto something to save herself. As she fell she grabbed in one hand a strawberry pant and with the other, a tobacco plant. As the Creation Story continues, Sky Woman, with the help of birds, landed safely on the back of a giant sea turtle. Dif Different animals took turns swimming to the depths of the ocean to try and bring back dirt from the ocean floor. After the otter finally succeeded, the woman danced in a circle following the direction of the sun and as she did this, the earth and the turtle began to grow. The land began to develop and take shape. This

new world was now their home. This dance is still practiced by the Haudenosaunee women as part of their healing medicine, their connection to mother earth and in celebration of all creation. Soon after this new world had begun its transformations, Sky Woman gave birth to a baby girl who was special because she was destined to give birth to twins. But to the heartbreak of Sky Woman, her daughter died while giving birth to her twin boys. Sky Woman buried her daughter in the ground and planted in her grave the plants and leaves she clutched upon descending from the Sky World. Not long after, over her daughter’s head grew corn, beans and squash. From her heart grew the sacred tobacco plant, which we use as an offering to send greetings to the Creator. At her feet grew the strawberry

plants, as well as other plants that would be used as medicines to cure illness. There is much more to our oral traditions, but the focus of this story ex-

plains how the Haudenosaunee people received their knowledge of Traditional Medicines used by the Traditional Healers in ceremonies and healing to this day. Traditional

Medicine as practiced by Haudenosaunee people is key to our good health, healing and survival as a Nation. CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

Atonhetseheriyo Permaculture workshops set to begin next week By Lucho Granados Ceja SIX NATIONS – It is possible to have healthy food and a healthy lifestyle without knowing where that food came from and without caring for the land it is grown on? Six Nations resident Kanenhariyo Seth LeFort thinks not. In fact he sees a big problem with the way people produce and acquire their food, so he’s setting out to do something about it. Next Saturday, September 20th, Kanenhariyo will host the first of a series of workshops under the umbrella of an initiative called Atonhetseheriyo, organized by the Experiential Learning Centre and the Two Row Times. The first workshop will be an introduction to the philosophy of Indigenous Permaculture, a method of sustainable agriculture. “[The] focus here is on Indigenous knowledge and applying the ideas of Permaculture, which are, to my understanding, the same as Iroquoian and Onkwe-

Rare Iroquoian white corn (Oneste) grown by Kanenhariyo. PHOTO BY LUCHO GRANADOS CEJA hon:we perspective about our relationship with the land,” said Kanenhariyo who is a certified Permaculture designer and consultant. Although teaching others how to produce their own food is a major component of the workshops, just as important is the renewed relationship to the land. As Kanenhariyo explains, “This is an effort to be connected again, and interacting with our environment.” The Two Row Times took

a tour of the gardens at Kanenhariyo’s place, noting the rare plants growing there, many of which are plants that the Haudenosaunee cultivated before contact with Europeans. For Kanenhariyo, the connecting with the land is a critical component to understanding human being’s interconnectedness to the environment. “We have the same obligation today as we did 400 years ago to make sure that there’s this natural development in the world

that everything can survive and have abundance, including us,” explained Kanenhariyo. Kanenhariyo’s attributes his interest in gardening and passion for stewardship of the land to his experiences in his Grandmother’s garden. He told us that from an early age – despite his protests – she would force him to work in the garden. She would ask, “How are you going to feed yourself if you don’t know how to garden?” Kanen-

s h t e e r h i n y o o t : A A series of workshops focused on practical skills and knowledge associated with ecological sustainable living, “the good life”. Hosted by Kanenhariyo Seth Lefort. Kanenhariyo (good vine) LeFort is a Kanyenkeha (Mohawk) of the Bear clan who was raised in the fishing community of Kenhteke. He current lives in the Six Nations Grand River Territory. He is a student of Kanyenkeha (Mohawk language) and is a practicing permaculture design consultant and co-founder of the Kanyenkehaka Experiential Learning Center. Most workshops begin on Saturdays at 1pm. Locations for workshops is the Kanyenkehaka Experiential Learning Centre (917 Sour Springs Rd, Six Nations). Workshops will vary in cost but will

include food and snacks for participants, materi materials and specialized instruction. If you can’t afford the cost, we are open to barter. To register for the workshop please email workshops@tworowtimes.com or call the TRT office at 519-900-5535. For more information or to request a workshop in your own location please contact the Kanyenkehaka Experiential Learning Center at www.tworowtimes.com/workshops There will be spaces available for further instructors at future Atonhetsheriyo workshops, and we may also be able to add a workshop before or after the one listed on a given date below. So if you are interested in presenting, please get in touch with us and let us know your interests.

hariyo is grateful for her insistence. For him this is knowledge that needs to be not only preserved but also shared widely. “There’s some knowledge that some people need access to… For some reason, indigenous peoples’ knowledge and ways of doing things, seems to be trapped some 150 year ago place, but it should remain there,” said Kanenhariyo. The workshops will be hands-on and participatory. Kanenhariyo does not purport to be an expert or a role model, he instead seems himself as a facilitator, “I think people need to know. And I think that people have things to offer.” Kanenhariyo hopes the Expe-

riential Learning Centre will eventually become registered as a Permaculture research institute. He also hopes this is the beginning of a trend where people go back to doing things on their own. “There was a time when people were independent, they built their own house, they made their own food… I think that’s what people need to do. The more they do that, the less dependent they are on the state,” said Kanenhariyo. Those interested in finding out more about the workshops or wishing to register can email w o r k s h o p s @ t w o r o wtimes.com, visit tworowtimes.com/workshops or call 519-900-5535.

Eating fat doesn’t make you fat or sick By Joanna Dydula, RD, CDE

We’ve all heard the advice to lower our fat intake, eat only low-fat foods, and stop eating eggs, because eating fat will make us fat and raise our cholesterol and sugar. But is this really true? Let’s take a closer look. In the 1960s, Dr. Ancel Keys wrote a study where he seemed to show a relationship between eating a high fat diet and getting heart disease in six different countries. And the government took it to heart and changed their dietary guidelines to promote a low-fat diet. But there was a problem. What the government didn’t know was that Dr. Keyes disregarded 15 other countries in his study where this relationship between eating fat and heart disease could not be proven and focused only on the six countries that fit his theory. That is some bad science right there. Because of studies like the one done by Dr. Keys, we now find ourselves avoiding as much fat as we can – even though our bodies require us to consume some fat. Our bodies’ cells and hormones are partly made up of fat and so we need to eat fat to keep our bodies healthy. Most fat, including saturated fat, has been unfairly blamed for obesity and heart disease (with the exception of trans fats and hydrogenat hydrogenated fats). In fact, a review of all the studies that have been published recently showed that there is no significant evidence that links eating fat with heart disease. Another large study that looked at patients admitted to hospital with a heart attack, found that 75% of the patients had cholesterol levels that were in target with the guidelines, which means they were not at risk for

heart disease – yet they still managed to have a heart attack. What’s going on here? Science has actually shown us that when people cut fat from their diets, they tend to eat more processed carbohydrates and sugar in its place. This is what leads to heart disease, because sugar and refined carbohydrates tend to increase the amount of bad cholesterol in our bodies. For example, foods labeled as low fat usually tend to have more sugar than those that are fullfat because when the fat is taken out of the product, it needs to be replaced by something, and that usually ends up being sugar. In a recent study, researchers noticed a very significant relationship between added sugar intake and an increased risk of death from heart disease. People with the highest sugar intake had a 400% increased risk of having a heart attack when compared to those with the smallest sugar intake. Just one 20oz pop a day (2 ½ cups or about the size of an extra-large Slurpee or medium Big Gulp) can increase your risk of having a heart at attack by about 30%. Sugars and refined carbohydrates are used to give the body quick energy when it needs it, like when you’re running a race or playing in the NHL. Most of us don’t play in the NHL, so we don’t need all that extra sugar and carbohydrates in our bodies, increasing our risk for diabetes, heart attack, and obesity. Processed and refined carbohydrates and sugars include foods such as: bread, tortillas, scone, fry bread, buns, cake, pie, cookies, chips, crackers, ice cream, chocolate bars, pretzels, waffles, pancakes, pop, juice, Gatorade, Powerade, energy drinks, iced tea, lemonade, cere-

als, pasta, macaroni, and noodles. Like I mentioned earlier, fats are actually good for us. Fats like omega-3 fats, nuts, and olive oil have been shown to decrease risk of a heart at attack by 30%.

Letters to the Editors

Teiehkwa's journey Dear editors, I would like to keep everyone informed of the health care plan developed for, and with, Teiehkwa. The following are reasons for my decision in this life matter. On 13 August, many of Teiehkwa’s family met with the oncologist and received the diagnosis of cancer, specifically Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, or ALL. This type of cancer generally happens in young children, is the most responsive to chemotherapy, and has an 80% survival rate. Due to Teiehkwa’s age, at eleven years, she is considered a high risk. We heard about the drugs and chemo schedule and what some of the side effects may be for each drug. We heard that Teiehkwa would be tracked for the rest of her life, however, long or short that may be. We are aware that, if chemo is used to kill the cancer, her life expectancy may be decreased. However, without treatment, she had approximately six

months to live. Earlier, I said that I chose chemotherapy despite knowing and believing in naturalistic methods of treating cancer. There are no known side effects to naturalistic treatment. I’ll get back to this after sharing Teiehkwa’s 12 days on chemo. The chemo ravaged her body and spirit. And knowing the side effects of chemo, weighed heavily on my mind and spirit. Teiehkwa suffered horrific pain in her body and unrelenting sickness. I saw that I had chosen this direction during a crisis and now, I needed to trust in what we believed in before cancer became part of our lives. I turned back to holistic healing and therapies. I am thankful for the outpouring of support; spiritually and financially, and we now have a path for Teiehkwa’s cancer to be treated with natural, holistic methods and our Rotinnoshonni beliefs and protocols. This is the reading done by a family friend who identified that Teiehkwa needs in terms of medicine ceremonies,

cer.

SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2014

The Hippocrates Health Institute will continue to provide follow up care for Teiehkwa upon our return from the HHI. I will continue to obtain supplements for Teiehkwa’s immune system. As Ontario Health Coverage does not recognize naturalistic methods of treat treating cancer, I will need to ensure for the lifestyle change, for my entire family, as natural foods are the major way to maintain health and wellness. I believe that I am making an

informed choice and will not compromise Teiehkwa’s quality of life. Family life is taking steps to ensure your children become parents and grandparents. We will be leaving for HHI on September 11th and the estimated return date is October 6th. The HHI treatment is at a substantial cost and I am unable to express the depth of my gratitude for the efforts of many, many family and friends. Your spiritual support, prayers, donations, visits, etc. are life giving. Ni-

From the City to the Land: A COOK’S JOURNEY

Eating “Family Style” By Joe Farrell

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful outdoor wedding at Ruthven Park in Cayuga. One thing that stood out in the setup of the wedding was that the bride and groom chose to serve their wedding fest communal family style with local seasonal ingredients. Where the terminology “family style” comes from I’m not quite sure. There are many different styles of dining that are used in restaurants. The most familiar is the American plated service when all the food is plated individually in the kitchen and delivered to the guest completed. Family style has the food plated on platters rather, and the guests pass the food around the table taking just enough and

leaving the right amount to be shared. This is a style of eating that a lot of chefs have tried and not always with much success. Even in my last Toronto restaurant we made an attempt at serving people family style plates to be shared and we struggled to execute this vision with our guests. Perhaps it’s the individualism that pervades city culture, or maybe it’s the combined effects of colonialism and capitalism together that have created the restaurant culture of order your own and eat off your own plate. I feel it is important to eat family style as it engages the diners with the food in a communal way. It is a visual reminder that we all share a common source of food and that we should only be taking what we need

for our sustenance and be leaving some for the next person. I am coming to learn from some inspiring folks at Six Nations that this is part of honouring the dish with one spoon way of life. Relating to food in positive ways helps foster stronger relationships in community and the land that supplies the nourishment that we need to thrive. A common meal served family style in my house when I was a kid was pasta and tomato sauce.

Caledonia Fair showcases the international year of the family farm By TRT Staff Live music, shows, animals, demo derbies and all of the best from “down on the farm” will be waiting for you on the banks of the Grand River from September 25 to 28. The 142nd Annual Caledonia Fair is celebrating the international year of the family farm and the living heritage of our agricul-

tural community. This year’s fair boasts two stages of live music and entertainment, with local favorites Andre & the J-Tones, Mark Laforme, and Brett Baker, and new to the fair acts like Whiskey Epiphany and DB Cooper. Country, Rock, Indie, Jazz – whatever the genre, you’ll find it at the Caledonia Fair. Entertaining on and

Hamilton trial story from page 4 Turbull found Squire-Hill guilty of three counts of fleeing the scene of the collision “with intent to escape civil or criminal liability,” and for not stopping to assist when he knew he had done seriously injury or even killed someone. Tanya Martin called the Judges decision “extremely fair” saying that these kinds of alcohol or drug deaths need to be treated like manslaughter and that fleeing the scene needs to be taken very seriously. “I implore our justice minister, the Honourable Peter McKay, to do some serious revamping of the Criminal Code,” she told reporters outside the courthouse. Standing with Will’s mother, Beth Harris, who agreed. “Too many people are getting away with it. My mission is to make

sure there are changes. This is vehicular manslaughter,” said Martin. Sentencing will come in the fall after a Gladue report is prepared and considered by the court. The issue brings up the question about the Gladue system itself which prepares a biography of the guilty party in cases involving Onkwehon:we people, to consider the background of the person charged and usually results in reduced sentencing and/or participation in rehabilitation programs. It also begs the question that since SquireHill was already well known by Six Nations Police and was already a “fugitive from justice”, why did the SNPD not pick him up and arrest him before the tragedy took place.

off stage will be the incredible illusionist Lucas Wilson, the incomparable one man band Bandaloni, and Clarol the clown. Enjoy the Ultimutts dog show, Classic Championship Wrestling, or one of two demolition derbies. At the fair you can meet your local farmers, watch one of the livestock shows, see displays about local farms and farm

families throughout the grounds, visit the petting farm in the cattle barn, and check out Squire McKinnon’s horse barn for more close encounters of the animal kind. The fair also plays host to two free children’s’ areas. The KIDZone features lots of great free outdoor play and crafts, while the secret garden in the Exhibi-

tion Hall is a special place where kids can let their creativity run wild. And while in the Exhibition Hall, be sure to explore all the crafts, crops, canning and culinary creativity showcasing the best of Haldimand and surrounding areas. No fair would be complete without rides, food and shopping, and the Caledonia Fair has

plenty of those too. A World’s Finest Shows midway is waiting with rides and games to thrill, while vendors will be displaying their wares, and you are sure to find whatever food you fancy.

Chiefs blow another lead, down 2-1 By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The sound you may have heard at around 11 o’clock Monday night was that of the Six Nations Chiefs flushing away Game #3 of the Mann Cup Championship at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The stunning loss now gives the visiting Victoria Shamrocks a 2-1, bestof-seven series lead with Game #4 set for Tuesday night, the results of which will miss our deadline, but which can be read about on our website at www. TwoRowTimes.com. Game #5 will be played Wednesday night, Sept. 10, with Games #6 and #7, if necessary, set for Friday, Sept. 12th, and Saturday, September 13th. The Chiefs looked ready and capable of running the Shamrocks out of the arena in the second period after playing to a 1-1 tie for the first 20 minutes. Stephen Keogh made it 1-0 at 5:11 from Cody Jamieson and Jeff Shattler. Then, with Ian Lord serving two minutes for slashing, Corey Small evened the score at 10:05 from Dhane Smith and Scott Ranger, to finish the first period tied at 1-1.

Chiefs' Stephen Keogh paid the price to get it, but scored a beauty in the second period of Monday's Game #3 of the Mann Cup Finals at the ILA. For the second game in a row, the Chiefs could not hang onto a substantial lead and let the game slip way in the third period. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE The Chiefs were stung again when both Cody Jameson and Colin Doyle drew penalties on the same play at 1:25 of the second, leaving Six Nations with two of their top players sitting it out for a 5 on 3 Victoria powerplay, which Chris Wardle capitalized on. Former Shamrock Jeff Shattler went on a tear in the second, beginning with his first of the night scored at 5:18 from Vaughn Harris. Jamieson put a second notch in his stick at 6:18, also set up by Harris, and Shattler scored his second at 7:08, when he swatted in a crease pass, again assist assisted by Harris.

Johnny Powless made it 5-2 from Jamieson and Kasey Beirnes at 7:30 before Shattler struck again at 10:24 from Jamieson and Doyle. The Chiefs were riding high with a 6-2 lead and all the confidence in the world. Tyler Hass picked off a Chiefs pass and scampered in all alone on Brandon Miller to score the Shamrocks third goal and break the Chiefs string. Jamieson responded with a powerplay goal at 13:38 to keep the Chiefs four-goal lead intact. Former Chief Rhys Duch cut into that lead at 14:29, but Keogh got that back at 15:43 with a div-

ing goal to make it 8-4. Duch stung the Chiefs with a short handed goal to reduce the Six Nations lead to 8-5 and then, with 8 seconds left, Karsen Leung was sent in all alone with a long pass from goaltender Matt Findell to pull within two of the leaders. It was a harbinger of things to come as the Chiefs were caught several times on the transition and became completely porous as the third unwound. Victoria scored twice to open the first to even the score at 8-8 and turned the tide towards the west. The Chiefs were now the ones on their heels as the

Shamrocks kept coming, as they did in Game #2. Jamieson and Doyle restored the Chiefs lead which the ‘Rocks once again chipped away at with Dhane Smith closing the gap to one, and Small tying it again on a powerplay with Rory Smith off with a double minor for roughing. Keogh scored the Chiefs last goal of the game at 16:45 to once again take a narrow onegoal lead, as the clock became a factor. Duch sent the Victoria fans wild with the tying goal scored at 17:49 and held the Chiefs off as regulation time expired. In the 10 minute OT

period, Scott Ranger gave the Shamrocks a 12-11 lead while the Victoria defense put up a wall Six Nations shooters could not easily penetrate. In the last seconds of the OT period, Shamrocks’ Bradley Kri reached in behind his goaltender to stop a sure goal, before Flindell made two amazing game savers as time ran out on the Chiefs. It was a game of missed chances and distracted focus for the Chiefs as the Shamrocks and their fans celebrated the win, and the Chiefs and their fans contemplat contemplated what happened. The Chiefs won’t have a lot of time to figure that out, as the teams face each other again Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Shamrocks tie series 1-1 with gutsy double OT win By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After falling to the reigning Mann Cup Champions in Game #1, the Victoria Shamrocks pulled Game#2 out of the fire with a very gutsy, 6-5 performance Saturday night to even the series at 1-1. The loss of Jeff Shat Shattler to the Chiefs in the off-season hurt, but it certainly did not leave the Shamrocks without offensive power. Chris Wardle filled the gap quite nicely all season, but Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come-from-behind win was credited to the 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 175 lb. attacker from Victoria BC. The Pro-Fit Chiefs took an early 2-0 lead with goals scored by Colin Doyle and Craig Point. But Karsen Leung got one of them back. Kasey Beirnes made it 3-1 at the end of the first period. Wardle scored his first of the night to tie the game at 2-2, on a powerplay with Vaughn Harris sitting out for checking from behind. Then, former Chief, Rhys Duch gave the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rocks the lead at 14:28. But with six seconds remaining, Craig Point sent the Chiefs fans crazy by tying it up and sending the game into the first 10-minute overtime period after Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greg Harnett took an untimely holding penalty at 18:37. Doyle scored at 3:36 of the extra frame from Jesse Gamble and goalie Brandon Miller, and just when it looked like the Chiefs were about to go up 2-0 in the series, Wardle and Duch set up Small for his second of the night with 31 seconds remaining, to once again tie it, 5-5. That produced a sudden death second OT period and at 2:32, Wardle won it from Scott Ranger and all of a sudden, it was a new series again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes it a best of five,â&#x20AC;? said Chiefs coach Rich Kilgour after the game. The teams took Sunday off before reconvening at the ILA Monday night for Game #3.

Local youth invited to Nike lacrosse training camp By Nahnda Garlow

OHSWEKEN – For 15 yearold Jayden Bomberry, this summer was a dream come true. She was one of 50 teen girls and the only female indigenous athlete selected from across North America to attend Nike’s ‘The Ride’, an invitation only lacrosse camp for the top players

Nations’ lacrosse stars, Tehoka Nanticoke, was selected as one of only two indigenous male recruits to participate in the four-day long training session held in July. All recruits were given thousands of dollars worth of limited edition Nike ‘The Ride’ lacrosse gear to suit them up, giving them

SUBMITTED PHOTO in the US & Canada held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. “I was so excited. I always said that I wanted to be sponsored someday by Nike and now I had this opportunity I felt like that was a big honor. And being the only native girl, I thought that was cool.” Jadyn said. Just 100 youth were selected for this training camp; 50 males and 50 females. Another one of Six

Players were teamed up throughout the camp with Nike lacrosse athletes Jeremy Thompson and Kit Kitty Cullen to glean knowledge from those sponsored professionals.

of lacrosse which has been dubbed by sports media as the ‘fastest game on two feet’. “I never did training like that before. So now I got all the equipment I need to train like that and I practice everyday” said Bomberry. They were then put into teams to participate in championship games and given a small taste of what the standard is to get into a Division 1 University, where students are eligible for full lacrosse scholarships. This is the long-term goal for Bomberry who has already been contacted by recruiters from three Division 1 institutions. “I want to go to Ohio, Duke or Penn State” said Jadyn. “They can’t officially say ‘come to my school’ yet but I have seen some schools.” Jadyn plays for lacrosse teams on Haudenosaune territories in both USA and Canada, is pursuing other sports at school and now trains year round. “I run in the morning, go to school, come home, eat, workout and then my weekends are my free time,” said Jadyn. Jadyn’s mother Christina Bomberry made the conscious choice as a parent to come alongside her daughter in this journey. She said, “I don’t care to really play lacrosse but I care enough for her to succeed to stay involved in what she does in all aspects, even if its physical, because then I stay healthy. Running is my background, that’s also what one of her strengths are so we work on that to-

gether. I’m not as fast as her and she proves that to me all the time,” they laughed together. “But the reality is that that is what helps keep me active.” Christina said that her involvement in Jadyn’s journey in lacrosse was a conscious parenting choice “I knew she was getting older and her mind was changing and I said ‘I have

to be involved because I am going to lose that connection with her as she changes from a kid to an adult.” Christina, who has been a well-known champion fancy shawl dancer since childhood, didn’t forsee a life of lacrosse for her daughter. She said, “This whole thing is her lead. Lacrosse is not my thing. My sisters all played lacrosse

but I danced. But Jadyn wanted to play lacrosse so we had to make a decision, ‘Do we want to go dance because [pow-wow] dancing is me, or do we do lacrosse?’ And she told me ‘I wanna do lacrosse.’ So we do. And I’m okay with it. Dancing will always be there and we can come back to it. But right now this is what we’re gonna do.”

Workshop for Lifelong Learning By TRT Staff OHSWEKEN – Grand River Employment and Training (GREAT) is hosting a series of workshops for seniors entitled “Grandparents Leading the Path to Lifelong Learning”. Funded through the Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors program, the half-day workshops are being offered free of charge and are scheduled throughout the month of September. Topics to be covered include: yoga, tai chi, cornhusk basket making, pottery, cooking, sewing, an interactive music workshop, beginner and intermediate computer classes and lessons on using one’s smartphone and iPhone safely and effectively. A series finale celebration dinner and music workshop will also take place on October 3, 2014 from 5-8:30 pm in the GREAT Theatre. The goals for these workshops include; supporting social participa-

By promoting intergenerational interaction the workshops aim to reduce ageism, bridge the generational gap, transfer cultural knowledge, and

reiterate the value of lifelong learning and seniors in our community. Traditionally, First Nations culture places elders in a very high regard. GREAT has engaged elders in our community on many occasions to share their wisdom and experiences. This project will represent GREATs first initiative where se-

niors are provided an opportunity for training that has been developed and delivered in cooperation with other seniors. To register for workshops or for more information, please contact Grand River Employment and Training via: telephone: (519) 445-2222 or email: Nichole@greatsn. com.

Traditional healers story from page 12 Just as the sea creatures gave us their example of how to hold council, we too have held discussions about Haudenosaunee Medicine. Elders, Healers, Traditional Leaders and community members from Six Nations, Akwesasne, Kahnawake, Onondaga and Tyendinaga have shared their thoughts. We know that in earlier times, Haudenosaunee Nations had a well-developed system of traditional medicine. Each Traditional Healer had certain professional responsibilities to fulfill, including meeting high standards and practicing in an ethical manner. In the past century, Haudenosaunee medicine has been attacked as superstition and witchcraft. Modern western medical practices, hospitals and university-trained doctors have established themselves as the only

type of medicine that is effective. In recent years, however, health specialists have been willing to take another look at traditional medicine. They were surprised to see that healers actually healed, and traditional medicine worked. The World Health Organization defines Traditional Medicine as, “The sum of total knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences Indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as the prevention, diagnosis, improvement of treatment of physical and mental illness.” The time has come for Haudenosaunee Traditional Medicine to reassert itself, to regain credibility and stature, and to serve the Haudenosaunee people once again.”

Learning what video games teach By Nicholas Martin-King

What would playing a video game possible teach you? The answer is, probably a lot more than you would think, and it may target exactly what you want to learn about. Motivation to learn and excitement from learning are goals of every teacher, and when these goals are met, excellent learning can take place. Video games achieve these goals nearly by default. The player agrees to put effort into learning the basic rules of the game just by deciding to play, and is therefore already motivated to learn. Games also give excitement by rewarding players when they either learn or create a solution to a problem. Minecraft is a great example of what video games can teach using this drive to learn and excitement from learning. Described simply, Minecraft is an unlimited legobrick-like world in which players have the freedom to do whatever they want. Minecraft is special in this way, because most games don’t allow for this much

freedom in problem solving, and the game does not provide instructions on screen telling you exactly what to do. This freedom allows the player to create their own goals, and progress at their own pace. This environment is perfect for practicing self-directed learning. Self-directed learning is exactly as it sounds, one assumes responsibility for their own learning, problem solving, goal set setting, and self-evaluating. The use of this ability can branch into many other skills, but because it is self-directed, the specific skills learned will be exactly for that player. For example, imagine a player in Minecraft is trying to plant seeds they just found, but they do not know how. How will they solve this? Ask a friend? Keep trying different things? Try using a search engine online? Asking a friend is the beginning of teamwork. Trying other ways is thinking creatively. Using a search engine is researching. The player will pick an option that they believe is most appro-

priate to themselves and their strengths. However, if the first chosen option fails, they will continue to try and solve their problem because they are being self-motivated and direct directed. One answer to one problem will not work for every other problem the player comes across, so they will be forced to acquire other skills as well. Video Games in general also have another advantage, the farther you progress, the more difficult the game becomes, so one is forced to always try new methods and grow. Not every game achieves the ability to teach life skills, or knowledge in general, but it would be a lie to say all “screen time” is bad. Some games have historical value and teach different things. A good example is World of Tanks because it has real historical accuracy behind each WWII battle and every tank within the game. You can learn the differences between the German Tiger vs the American M4 Sherman tanks. The game also teaches real-world physics

of how shell penetration would interact with armour thickness and angles. (I found myself accidentally fascinated with how these mathematical mechanics worked!) However it is not all positive, there are games that teach little more than repetitive actions. An example of this type of game

Through hell and back with the Diablo franchise By Jonathan Garlow

In the year 2000, Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction received a Guinness World Record for fastest selling video game of all time with 1 million copies sold within two weeks. It was so popular amongst PC gamers that it creat created an entire sub-genre of role-playing games, the Action Role-Playing Game. The game was such a success because it broke barriers. Never before did gamers experience a hack and slash dungeon crawl with such depth and intensity. The premise of the game is simple. Like any RPG you begin your adventure with meagre weapons and armour and you progress by killing goblins and skeletons while finding gold and special items that increase your power. As your character reaches higher levels your character becomes almost indestructible and wades

through the fray swinging sword or casting fireball in a whirlwind of destruction and mayhem. In depth itemization allowed the player to manipulate character sheet statistics to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of their character for maximum survivability and damage output. It took 12 years for Blizzard Entertainment to release Diablo 3 and the response was once again record setting. 3.5 million copies of the game were sold within the first 24 hours and it became the best selling PC game of 2012. Because of the nostalgia and legacy of Diablo 2, expectations were impossibly high for this release. Shortly after launch Diablo 3 was heavily crit criticized for the “pay-to-win” auction house that let people buy digital in-game items for real world currency. It was also criticized for Blizzard’s stance

tion. In an interview Josh summed up the planned changes, “Our goal is to make the loot experience more enjoyable for all players. This includes reducing the amount of loot that drops while improving the overall quality, introducing targeted Legendaries, and giving players ways to directly customize their character’s armor – both visually and mechanically.” Since 2013, an expansion pack, Reaper of Souls, was released and last week a major patch was implemented making even more drastic improvements. The introduction of Seasonal Ladder play puts Diablo players across the world in direct competition with each other to see who is the best (or most addicted) player of all time. The character classes of Monk, Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Wizard, Crusader and Witch Doctor have all been improved and the graphics

have never been better. Players of all skill levels are enjoying the scaling difficulty of Greater Rifts, Paragon Levels, legendary gems, and a horde of new items and features. I have been playing the game again since the latest version was released last Friday. I think this newest incarnation of Diablo is the best yet and my only critique is that too many items are account bound and cannot be shared with friends. The most memorable moment was when my “bromosapien” Nicholas Martin-King found an extremely rare portal open after killing a treasure gnome and we entered The Vault. Five minutes of giddy looting from my livestream can be seen here: http://trti. me/DDEc9. I’m not wearing a shirt, it was 5 a.m., I am very sorry.
