HAGERSVILLE — Provincial police say a man is facing charges for allegedly carjacking a vehicle in Hagersville and then robbing a store on the Missisaugas of the New Credit First Nation Police say they got a call around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 3 from a woman reporting her vehicle had been taken at knifepoint several minutes earlier. Two minutes later OPP
officers responded to a report that a man with a gun had robbed a variety store a few kilometres away on the New Credit Reserve. OPP say the vehicle was located behind a building in Hagersville three days later and sent for forensic examination, which led to identification of a suspect. They say a 30-yearold Norfolk County, Ont., man was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and charged with two counts of robbery with a weapon. (with CP files)

SIX NATIONS — If anyone wonders what impact US President Trump is making in the western world, the proof just became obvious with the CBC report that proud white nationalist and neo-Nazi Paul Fromm has announced his candidacy for Mayor of the City of Hamilton. A quick Google search on Fromm will explain his world view completely. He has been one of Canada’s more outspoken Holocaust deniers. Locally he helped promote Caledonia political agitator Gary McHale’s rallies during the reclamation of the former Douglas Creek Estates land in 2006. Fromm made several appeals through white supremacist networks for participation in McHale's Caledonia rallies on white nationalist and neo-Nazi website, ‘Stormfront’ and was photographed at one of McHale’s rallies wearing his distinctive tattered cowboy hat and Ontario’s “red ensign” flag on a pole. Today Fromm is a well-travelled keynote speaker at neo-Nazi and white supremacist rallies across Canada and the USA. Because of a new boldness in promoting racist ideals that came through after the election of Donald Trump in the US and Doug Ford in Ontario —Fromm now feels “safe”

to go mainstream with his alt-right, alt-white vision for Hamilton. Fromm’s mayoral aspirations comes as no big surprise. According to a biography published online by the Southern Poverty Law Centre, “Paul Fromm who ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Mississauga recently, and had his teaching license revoked because of his participation in racist events and for rallying against nonwhite immigration, serves as international director of the Council of Conservative Citizens.” While on the campaign trail he put out white supremacist and Holo-
caust-denial literature at his campaign tables, and the same is expected in his Hamilton race. According to International Business Times, Fromm is the “Canadian ‘Neo-Nazi’ leader of the White Nationalist Group that inspired the Charleston murder of nine worshipers at an Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina in June 2015. In 2009, Fromm took part in a march organized by the Aryan Guard in Calgary, Alberta, and now that he has moved to Hamilton from the GTA, he wants to be Hamilton’s new mayor.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
If you’re a racist don’t read this EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW The last year or so have been a little insane when it comes to overt racism in North America being bold enough to rear it’s ugly, shrivelled head don’t you think? In the last week - two overtly racist white people have announced candidacy for the largest city centres in Southern Ontario. Two white women in Western Canada are facing charges of hate crimes after advocating on social media for a 24 hour killing spree of indigenous people. A racist white man was shoved in a fountain in Toronto for accusing the Muslim community to be responsible for the shooting death of two women on the Danforth by a man with mental illness. I blame technology. Maybe I’m old? No, I’m right. The internet is making us sick as a species. Or are we at fault? Are we building a sick space online with our curiosities? It used to be if a person was curious about a thing you ponder in silence, maybe read a book at the library or talk to a few people nearby. Do your research. Now the most casual of questions can be instantly answered by who knows what source: powered by
Google - or Russians. Society is disintegrating into a mush of human curiosity fuelled by search engines and horrible ideologies promoted by bloggers and reinforced by sick minds. We are making one another more polarized with every Google search; the algorithms of tech giants have monetized and magnetized our thoughts, questions and queries. Now — the internet has streamlined our curiosities and paved the pathways from a Google search like “what is the alt-right” — leading the seeker straight to sources like Reddit where you can find all the “logic” backing up why the whites are being “oppressed” by “political correctness” — and why you should join in the “fight”. Sick. We’re all just one Google search away from a fall down the rabbit hole straight from curiosity into the fiery pits of bigotry. So what can we do — as regular people — to fight this? Here is one simple tool. Stop letting racist people defending their racist ideals with the argument, “I am entitled to my opinion”. In an article for Quartz Online, phi-
More photos from 39th Annual Grand River Powwow
losophy professor Patrick Stokes from Deakin University in Australia sums up why allowing people with racist ideals to hide behind ‘opinion’ is a logical fallacy. Stokes says that the ‘I’m entitled to my opinion’ argument is often used by people to pivot during debate — and get others to validate that their opinion/thought/ perspective should be treated as fact. This is not the case. We have to be clear minded and remember that opinion does not equal fact. Facts can back up an opinion — but opinion will never replace fact. Now — if we are unwise users of the Google — and while falling down the rabbit hole of curiosity we take opinion as fact and begin to build our entire worldview around it — do you see where I am going? We will come out of it not with our own thoughts, but merely parroting what we read somewhere as truth and making up our own truth attached to the side of a big old mess. TL:DR - Racists are stupid.

COLUMN: Thunder Woman Speaks
Elected systems on First Nations are colonial imposed systems By Rachel Snow Elections in Indian country are a colonial construct. Prior to settlers, the original people had varied governance systems. In highly complex systems, there were two houses with checks and balances. These governance systems became models for settlers who were setting up new ways of governing themselves on this continent. When Indians were forced onto reserves, Ottawa used Indian agents to subjugate and control every aspect of life. These Indian agents were often unskilled officials who enforced genocidal tactics of the federal government. Traditional leadership and hereditary models were soon replaced by Indian agents inserting malleable Indians into positions of chiefs or councils to continue the assimilation or termination agendas of their government. Indian Agents would even insert themselves into meetings when votes were happening. The oppressed now became the oppressors. It is this background that controls contemporary Indian politics. The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (DIAND/INAC) controlled Indian Act elections with strict legislation contained within the Indian Act.
Many First Nations voted but continued to follow clan or kinship systems that recognized familial leadership. With colonization, the impact of residential schools, the loss of language and the break down of clan systems, voting on reserve elections began to change. Families that held the majority of community members could determine the election outcomes. Therefore, ancient Indigenous governance models fell away as specific families manipulated the votes. Ottawa’s answer was to create custom elections, which only applied to the length of term of leadership in council and not to the original governance systems of any one First Nation. Successive mainstream federal governments have hijacked terms like custom and placed them alongside their regimented assimilation policies since the office of Indian Affairs came into existence. Elections have been no exception. Elections on reserve involve families. Chiefs and councils elected tend to hire their families or voters because they want to maintain their leadership. The families or voters may be unskilled or negligent in their capabilities but Indian Affairs does not interfere because Indians believe that these
elections represent governance. With this on reserve model comes a similar model for regional or provincial and national levels. The Assembly of First Nations (AFN), originally the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB) was born in a time when First Nation voices needed to unite to stop Pierre Eliot Trudeau and his 1969 termination policy. Almost fifty years later, INAC’s election model is still being used to oppress the voices of the original people. The Assembly of First Nations has had successive national leaders who are to advocate for the original people in Ottawa. Throughout the years, the distinct needs of various First Nations have been targeted by Ottawa’s one-size fits all legislative packages. Leaders of the Assembly have either challenged Ottawa and seen their funds wither or they have gone along with Ottawa’s agenda and diminished the peoples’ inherent rights at negotiating tables. This year in 2018, AFN elections for a national “chief” reached a tipping point. Since the Liberal government was elected under Trudeau the younger, promises have been made to First Nations with careful public relations platforms that use the words of the First Nation
people in paternalistic contexts. The “nation to nation” idea is that each First Nation on this stolen state land will be in a negotiation position with the settler government. Justin Trudeau’s federal Liberal government has altered this to mean one nation is the Assembly of First Nations leader and the other is the Minister (s) of Indian Affairs. This is not reconciliation. This is repackaging individual First Nations rights to fit with Trudeau’s termination policy. In Vancouver, the Assembly of First Nations held an election to elect a national “chief” who is really a national spokesperson. Historically, the spokesperson was to address the concerns of First Nations from the grassroots level and lobby or advocate for this position. The National chief now speaks only to Indian Act elected chiefs and negotiates with Trudeau’s government on issues that affect the collective rights of each and every band member of a First Nation. This model is not working. It has created an elite class of elected First Nation chiefs and councils that answer only to a specific number of voters in their communities. This is not like a municipal or provincial election. On reserve, families know
who voted for them from membership lists. A small family with 30 votes can never outvote two larger families with 100 votes. This election system creates wider gaps on reserve in accessing, jobs, programs or services. Ottawa sees nothing wrong with this model as alienated families are forced to leave their reserves and seek housing or jobs within Canadian society. This alienation of families leads to social ills including depression, addictions, suicide, criminal activity and hopelessness. Ottawa does not listen. If Indians die off (termination), Ottawa has less Indians to house, and less Indians to provide health care or minimal education for, so it’s a cost saving strategy. Provinces can pick up this tab. At the Vancouver AFN election, one candidate proposed a change that was like our original governance systems. This was seen as a radical change. Russ Diabo, a Haudenosaunee member tried to give back the Assembly of First Nations to the people. This would mean changes from the ground up that would lead to the original people keeping their dignity and maintaining their connection to the scant land left to them in their reserve communities. Mr. Diabo was met with fierce opposition.
Indian politics is bad when career chiefs and their families’ livelihoods are at stake. Ottawa did not leave this to chance: discussions took place around equity shares in KinderMorgan, the rights recognition act and one region of chiefs was told, “to stay the course”. When Mr. Diabo questioned why the Minister of Indian Affairs was present at the voting assembly, he was met with hostility. Initially candidate Diabo noted this irregularity but his calls for action were met with unavailable and unreasonable electoral staff, and a questionable ruling while the AFN charter was mysteriously inaccessible on the downed AFN website. The presence of the Minister, like the Indian agent reminds Indian act chiefs “who is in charge.” The federal presence looks like misfeasance and political interference by a sitting Minister. The vision of Mr. Diabo, who was the chosen candidate of the people, will respond to this wrongful act. Diabo’s truth campaign was not just this election. This was a necessary first step to prove how complicit AFN is in pushing the federal agenda. The global village saw this interference, as did 1,000,000 First Nations across this land, welcome to Phase 2 of the Truth campaign.

VANCOUVER — The families of two First Nations men who were killed in separate incidents in recent years addressed the chiefs at the AFN’s General Assembly last week — pleading for action after acquittals in both cases. Jon Styres, a 29-yearold man from Six Nations in Ontario, was shot twice and killed in February 2014 after he was found rummaging through Peter Khill’s pickup truck in the early morning hours. Khill admitted he killed Styres, but pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, saying he
fired in self-defence when he thought Styres was pointing a gun at him. A jury found him not guilty in June, but the Crown has since announced an appeal to the acquittal. Debbie Baptiste cried and held a photo of her son Colten Boushie, who was fatally shot in August 2016 on a rural property near Biggar, Sask. She told chiefs not to let his death be forgotten. ``I don't want a whole bunch of families lined up behind me telling the same story,'' she said. ``That was my son, that was my baby,'' she said to chiefs who responded with a standing ovation.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY’S FUTURE
TORONTO — Brant MPP Will Bouma introduced his first Private Member’s Bill in the Legislature this week — seeking to annually designate June 27th ‘PTSD Awareness Day’ in the province. “Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating anxiety disorder which can occur after a person has experienced a traumatic event. Common among veterans, first responders, dispatchers and survivors of sexual violence, PTSD, similar to other mental illnesses, still faces
stigmatization which prevents sufferers from seeking the help they need in order to combat this terrible affliction,” Bouma stated during first reading of the Bill. In Canada as great as 3.5 per cent of the general population is thought to have PTSD. In 2016, Ontario amended the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 to include PTSD as a workplace injury among first responders if it arises out of and in the course of the worker’s employment. Bouma said he hoped the bill would raise awareness and help deal with the stigma attached to PTSD.

Ontario Tories announce changes to welfare programs, plan to scrap basic income pilot The Canadian Press TORONTO — Ontario’s new Progressive Conservative government ushered in the first of what it promised would be major reforms to social assistance on Tuesday, reducing a planned increase in support rates and cancelling a pilot program that provided payments to low-income people in certain communities. In an afternoon news conference, Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod said the government would come up with a plan within 100 days to overhaul the ``disjointed patchwork system'' left by the previous Liberal regime. The Liberals, she said, spent money the province didn't have on ``handouts that actually do little if anything to break the cycle of poverty.'' The province's first steps will be to cancel the previous government's plan to raise Ontario Disability Support Program and Ontario Works rates by three per cent and raise them by 1.5 per cent instead, said MacLeod, adding the decision was made ``on compassionate grounds.'' ``What I'm announcing today is about restoring dignity to Ontarians,'' she said. ``But let me be clear: the best social program is a job, for those who can get one,'' she said. ``So I'll be working with my colleagues... in making sure that we have an ability to integrate people back into the workforce where they can and making sure that they keep more mon-
ey in their pockets.'' The minister would not say how much the change was expected to cost. ``This decision isn't about saving money, this decision is about fixing a broken system,'' she said. The province will also wind down Ontario's basic income pilot project, which provided payments to 4,000 low-income people in communities including Hamilton, Brantford, Thunder Bay and Lindsay. Single participants receive up to $16,989 a year while couples receive up to $24,027, less 50 per cent of any earned income. Asked how the government determined the pilot was ineffective before it was over, MacLeod simply said the program was ``not doing what it's intended to do and it's quite expensive.'' NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said the government's plan was ``appalling'' and would push people who were already struggling into deeper poverty. ``Mr. Ford's attack on low-income people is disgusting,'' the Opposition leader said in a statement. ``And cancelling the unfinished and promising basic income pilot project is a waste and a shame.'' The announcement was also panned by Green party Leader Mike Schreiner, who said assistance rates were too low even with the increase promised by the Liberals. ``They (the Tories) certainly seem more interested in tearing things down than building things up,'' he said.

Perry Bellegarde re elected as chief of Assembly of First Nations The Canadian Press VANCOUVER _ Perry Bellegarde has reclaimed his seat as national chief for the Assembly of First Nations, in an election that also saw his challengers accuse the federal government of interference. Bellegarde won 328 of the 522 votes in a second ballot, giving him just over the 60 per cent needed to be elected as leader for a second term. Bellegarde, who is from the Little Black Bear First Nation in Treaty 4 territory in Saskatchewan, has said his close relationship with the federal government has secured billions of dollars in new funding for Indigenous issues over the last three budgets. He has been criticized by other candidates for being too cosy with Ottawa. Following his election, he said the assembly's strong voice has meant positive change for Indigenous communities. First Nations leaders are ``bringing about policy and legislative change, and starting to see investments in education, in wa-
ter, in housing, in health care, and commitments to really do something vital to our survival as Indigenous peoples by bringing about the Indigenous Languages Revitalization Act. So (the federal government is) responding to our agenda that we're putting in front of them,'' Bellegarde said. Sheila North of Manitoba won 125 votes, Miles Richardson of B.C. won 59 votes and Russ Diabo of Quebec won 10 votes. Katherine Whitecloud of Manitoba was eliminated in the first round of voting for having the fewest number of votes. The vote in Vancouver sparked some controversy, as all four of Bellegarde's challengers claimed election interference by the federal government because Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett was at the convention during the vote. ``Our four candidates are standing together to make sure at least the integrity of our decision(-making) political process is protected and
honoured amongst our people. We do not condone the interference of the federal government, and anyone who does should be accountable to this assembly,'' Richardson said. North said Bennett's presence represented a ``disgusting display of interference'' and a direct attack by the Liberal government on the assembly, while Diabo called for the minister to be sanctioned. ``This is what we're talking about, running our own affairs. We don't need the federal government to interfere in our elections,'' she said. Both North and Richardson said they accepted the election results in their concession speeches, while Diabo said there would be consequences _ a statement that was met with boos from the audience. Bennett's office issued a statement saying the minister was invited by Chief Marlene Poitras of Alberta to listen to her regional concerns, and at no point was the election for national chief discussed.
``In no way did the minister interfere in the electoral process for national chief. This is a decision for First Nations to make without outside interference,'' the statement said. Bellegarde said he considered it the right of the Alberta caucus to invite the cabinet minister. ``They've got regional issues and national issues of concern they wanted to raise directly to the minister and that's their right, that's their call,'' he said. Bellegarde said he will use his next term to continue working with federal and provincial governments to improve quality of life for Indigenous peoples, including closing the gap in youth suicide rates, which are five to seven times the national average, and putting resources toward the 40,000 First Nations children who are in foster care. ``This gap is not good for us and it's not good for Canada. So once we start closing this gap it's good for our people but ultimately it's good for the country as a whole,'' he said.

The post also proposed a ``shoot a Indian day'', and another Facebook user applauded the idea and said it was time for a purge. She said she was going to ``kill some Indians when I get home.'' ``Yah girl purge!!! Lets grab Budweiser and some shot guns,'' read a reply. Urban Trendz Hair Studio, a salon in Flin Flon, posted on its Facebook account that it had let go of an employee following the social media posts. ``Our business has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to any form of
discrimination or racism. The person in question is no longer employed by us.'' The area school division also condemned the online messages and said one of the women involved had previously worked there. ``Any person or persons expressing such views does not represent the values of our division and will not be employed in any capacity with the school division. The individual making the comments is no longer an employee of our division and has not been for some time.'' The organization that represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan said it would like RCMP to step up enforcement of hate speech crimes in Saskatch-
ewan. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations said it received numerous threatening and racist messages earlier this year after Gerald Stanley was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Colten Boushie, an Indigenous man. FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said no charges have been laid. ``This is what we expect the RCMP to do more of,'' Cameron said in a release. ``This life threatening attitude must be stopped and those guilty of it must be charged for a hate crime and it must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.''

FLIN FLON, MB — Two women have been charged with inciting hatred after someone proposed having a ``shoot a Indian day'' on social media in northern Manitoba.

Woman can keep home on reserve even though she is not a band member: judge CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
HALIFAX — A Nova Scotia judge says the widow of a former First Nations chief can stay in their family home on reserve land even though she is not a member of the band or a status Indian. Marlene Toney's occupancy became an issue for the Annapolis Valley First Nation because, under the Indian Act, reserve lands are held by the federal Crown in trust for the exclusive benefit of First Nation bands. As well, the band pointed out in court there are 25 band members on a waiting list for housing. Justice Gregory Warner of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, in a decision released Thursday, concluded Toney can stay in the home west of Kentville, N.S., mainly because a 2013 federal statute recognizes the equality rights of spouses in such situations, regardless of gender, race or ethnic origin. Warner said the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act was introduced to fill a legislative gap with respect to property rights between spouses living on reserves when they separate or one of them dies. ``Clearly, when Parliament passed the (act) and recognized the matrimonial status of both partners, irrespective of whether both were First Nation members or Indians, it was an intentional modification to ... the Indian Act,'' Warner wrote in his decision. The home in question was built in 1979 for former chief Lawrence Toney and his first wife with a $23,000 federal grant. Reserve lands are not owned by individuals, but
rather by the band as a whole. However, the band can vote to grant individuals so-called Certificates of Possession. Lawrence Toney obtained such a certificate in 1998. His second wife, Marlene Toney, has lived in the home since 1986. Over the 30 years that the couple occupied the home, they spent over $140,000 of their own money on permanent improvements. Lawrence Toney, who was chief of the First Nation in the 1990s, died in July 2016. The only substantial asset in his estate was the 1,600-square-foot home and the Certificate of Possession for the land on which it sits. In his will, Lawrence left his entire estate, including the certificate, to his second wife. Marlene Toney, now 56, was an active member of the reserve community for many years until her multiple sclerosis became too severe. Today, she lives alone in the house, and her only income is $775 a month from a disability pension and her husband's Canada Pension Plan. More importantly, she is not eligible to obtain the Certificate of Possession because she is not a member of the Annapolis Valley First Nation. She told the court that if she is forced out of the home, she has no other place to live and will seek social assistance. The judge noted that her occupancy of the ``immaculate, well-maintained'' home would not be an issue for the First Nation if she was a band member. Still, Warner considered that the 291-member First

Ancient B.C. Indigenous settlement to become outdoor classroom CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
NORTH COWICHAN, BC — Near the foot of sacred Mount Prevost where Indigenous people say their ancestors first landed on earth lays buried a 2,000-year-old settlement with archeological evidence of ancient tools, homes, hearths and grave sites. The Ye'yumnuts village near Duncan, B.C., is about to become a living Indigenous history lesson where the local school district will use the 2.4-hectare meadow as a place-based classroom. The area, bordered by 500-year-old Garry Oaks, the meandering Somenos Creek and upscale suburban homes, was slated for a private residential development in the 1990s.
But work stopped with the discovery of dozens of human skeletons, some curled in fetal positions and included mothers and their children, archeologists said. Two elementary schools and a middle school are within walking distance of the village site and the Cowichan Valley School District has plans for field trips and projects with the elders of the Cowichan Tribes to bring a sense of time, place and reality to Indigenous relations classes that are now part of the school curriculum. ``Ancient Greece is kind of academic and far away and a different place,'' said school district superintendent Rod Allen, standing in the shade of trees near the creek. ``This is right in your backyard, and we live here. That's what makes it so totally amazing.''
Woman keeps home continued Nation is facing a growing demand for housing on its land. Katrina Toney, Lawrence Toney's youngest daughter from his first marriage, filed an affidavit stating that she has been on the waiting list for housing on the reserve for almost 20 years. But Warner decided Marlene Toney should be able to stay in the house indefinitely.
``The applicant is 56. She has no other place to live and is physically not well, with her needs being provided for within the community and in the family home she has occupied for 32 years,'' his decision says. ``The totality of the circumstances dictates that the only fair outcome is to grant an order for exclusive occupation.''
Even though the once thriving settlement is currently covered with soil and tall grasses, the story of what lies beneath the ground and its connection to history and people of today provides realistic experiences for students, he said. ``It's a much more enabling, open-ended curriculum now which allows for place-based learning like this, which is just unbelievably authentic,'' said Allen. ``Kids buy into that. It's not library work. It's out in the community and it's work that matters.'' Dianne Hinkley, the land research director for the Cowichan Tribes, said the ground at the Ye'yumnuts settlement had been the subject of almost 25 years of struggle between private developers, governments and the Cowichan people who wanted the burial area
protected. The land was finally protected in a deal involving the B.C. and federal governments, but it wasn't until about two years ago when Hinkley started talking with Brian Thom, an Indigenous culture anthropology professor at the University of Victoria, that the idea formed to use the site as an education tool. ``Our boys were in the same class together and we went for the parent-teacher conference thing and Brian got hold of me afterwards and said, 'Did you see that, they were studying Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt,' '' said Hinkley. She said she went back to the teacher and asked: ``What about Ancient Cowichan? That question got us started in getting involved with the schools.''
Thom, who worked on the original archeology dig at the Ye'yumnuts settlement during the 1990s, said the site is more than 2,000 years old and it's estimated the Cowichan lived there for 600 years, then used the area as a large burial ground for another 600 years. ``This is the domestic space,'' he said. ``This is where people were really living here, eating their foods, bringing things in from the ocean, hunting ducks, getting fish from the creek,'' Thom said. Of the almost 500 artifacts found at the settlement, some reveal how far the Cowichan travelled to trade goods, which included dried clams and dried Blue Kamis plants, a starchy local food staple, Thom said. He said a sharp cutting blade found at the settlement originated from
polished rock that archeologists discovered came from a volcano in central Oregon. Jade tools that originated from the Fraser Canyon, 600 kilometres away, were also found at the site. ``Here we have physical evidence of the extensiveness of Cowichan trade networks,'' said Thom. Rosanna Jackson, the school district's Aboriginal curriculum co-ordinator, said Ye'yumnuts will build partnerships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. ``Something like this is the natural balance where the Cowichan people are helping the teachers understand what does it look like to come in,'' she said. ``What does it look like to be a partner since we all live here, work here, breath here, play here.''
Traditional Inuit songs once banned during colonialism focus of new course CANADIAN PRESS

IQALUIT — Ancient Inuit drum songs once banned as part of colonialism are being given renewed attention during a course in Nunavut next month. The Qaggiavuut Society says it will hold a five-day class on Pisiit, part of a broader effort
to connect elders with the next generation of performers, in hopes of exposing the style of music to other Nunavut communities. Pisiit has struggled to survive over the years after the drum songs were banned by Christian missionaries for being too rooted in Inuit spirituality, the organizers said. The course will be
taught in Inuktut without translation by eight elders from various regions of the territory. Vocal techniques and performance skills will be taught by Inuktitut singer-songwriter Looee Arreak and Juno winner Susan Aglukark, known for her 1995 single ``O Siem.'' The Pisiit course runs from Aug. 6 to 10 in Iqaluit.

Controversy causes cancellation for ‘Kanata’ CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Robert Lepage, artistic director of the multidisciplinary production company Ex Machina, has missed yet another opportunity as the cancellation of his production Kanata came as a surprise to Quebec last week. Lepage’s play Kanata was to examine relations between European settlers and indigenous people, but was fervently criticized for not including indigenous cast members. The decision to cancel came after some of the indigenous co-producers withdrew from the project. But a cancellation was deemed a disappointment by indigenous artists, as it showed that Lepage would rather cancel than change the production to address their concerns.
Maïtée Labrecque-Saganash, a Cree opinion columnist and daughter of MP Romeo Saganash, attended a meeting over Skype with a group of 34 which included indigenous artists, actors and activists that met with Lepage and Founder of Theatre du Soleil Ariane Mnouchkine on July 19. Labrecque-Saganash noted that the group made a number of suggestions on how to incorporate Indigenous voices. "I'm pretty disappointed about that because a lot of us put anger aside even though we were really entitled to our own anger," she said to CBC News. "I'm really disappointed that he'd rather cancel the show than work with Indigenous people. There was controversy around it, if he decided to change his ways and work with us, there would be no controversy for his co-producers."
The group from the meeting also put forth an open letter addressing the controversy and included that they were “tired of hearing other people tell our stories.” In 2016, the Canada Council fo the Arts refused to fund the production because of lack of indigenous involvement, but Lepage insisted on “creative freedom.” This cancellation comes only a few weeks after the show SLĀV was cancelled at the Montreal International Jazz Festival after receiving criticism — for good reason. The show was performed by a predominantly white cast, was described as a performance “based on slave songs,” and was promptly accused of cultural appropriation. Lepage admitted to a ‘judgement error” in the development of Kanata, but has yet to rectify it.

Three indigenous actors answered the call to play roles in Joel Reisig’s cinema rendition of Jack London’s collection of stories of the Klondike ‘Son of the Wolf.’ Filming for the production of Jack London’s ‘Son of the Wolf’ began in the middle of July with several casting calls for indigenous actors and actresses. Richard Wemigwans will play Chief Thling-Tinneh of the Sticks and the land of Tanana, who serves as the ruler of the salmon, bear, moose and caribou. Zek Meirthew will play Makwa “the bear,” who is a member of the largest clan, whose members thick black hair doesn’t grey with age. Marquis McAdam will
play Wagoosh “the fox,” as an inconspicuous character that chooses cunning over brute strength. Jack London is known for his stories “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang,” but this production while under the title of his novelette, will embody the best of London’s writing. Producer Joel Reisig has done over 20 movies which he has sold to Netflix,
Red Box, and Walmart and wanted this production to include the indigenous roles depicted in the novelette. “Jack London’s stories deserve to be seen. ” said Reisig. The story is full of dogs, wolves, boxing, knife fighting, a bear and much more as the anticipated film holds a release date to be determined.

MONTREAL — In a published article by CTV News last Sunday, it was revealed that Haudenosaunee artifacts from the fourteenth century were uncovered by archeologists at a site where digging has been underway since 2016. Thousands of artifacts have been found through an excavation at Peel and Sherbrooke Streets, as Archaeologist Roland Tremblay explained that six out of 10 of the radio carbon dates show that the artifacts are from around 1375. The archaeologists found mainly pottery and ceramics including cooking vessels and pipes, but also found a beluga whale

This is also not the first time that artifacts have been found at the site as it was excavated once before in 1859. Former elected council Chief of Kahnawake Christine Zachary Deom told CTv News that the find-
ings coincide with the oral history that the Mohawks have been present all the way through. “It just actually means to me that the things that I heard as a child, the oral tradition is there and it's alive and well,” she said. The City of Montreal is also offering interested members of the Mohawk community with archaeological training to be a part of future digs.

Six Nations eliminated from Founders Cup Rebels lose to Elora 9-8 in final minute of Game 5 showdown

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — The pain of last year’s playoff disappointment was doubled this year after the Rebels’ great first place regular season and high hopes were dashed with a minute left in Game 5 as the Rebels lost 9-8, against the Elora Mohawks, Monday night during a home game at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The OJBLL (Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League) Western Final was decided Monday night at the ILA as the Six Nations Rebels and the Elora Mohawks went the full distance to decide who would play the Clarington Green Gaels for the league title and a trip to Calgary for the Founders Cup playoffs. A near full house at the ILA watched what could have been the best Jr. B lacrosse playoff game ever. But for the Six Nations Rebels the end came quick with Tyrus Renanek’s game winner with exactly one minute left in regula-
cushion but not for long. The Mohawks were handed a bit of a gift when Cecil Montour was called for a marginal holding infraction which Dean Sealey capitalized on at 18:02 to end the second ferocious period with the Rebels still clinging to a one goal lead at 6-5. Riley Miller scored his second of the game at 5:02 from Justin Martin and Longboat to begin the wild third frame. Tempers flared at 5:40 sending Longboat, Chayton Hill and Mason Hill off for two minutes, but power forward Gates Abrams was assessed a five minute unnecessary roughness penalty. That meant coach General had to start mixing lines with some of his biggest scorers say out. But Elora lost some good players too in the schlimazel and were down a man on the floor when Kurtis Woodland and Zach Cameron scored short handed goals less than a minute apart which changed the complexion of the game dramatically. It was a new game at 7-7 and a little more than 11 minutes to in regulation time. Chayton King scored his third of the game at 9:29 to take an 8-7 lead. That too was short lived as Tyrus Rehanek tied it again and became Elora’s

Nathan Bolger picked off a loos ball and scored with four seconds left in the period. The Rebels may have eased up a few seconds too early and it cost them an important goal in a one goal game. The Rebels were ahead 3-2 when the teams returned the ILA floor

OHSWEKEN — What a series the Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen and Owen Sound North Stars has been. It began July 21st at the Gaylord Powless Arena when the North Stars took a 1-0 lead in the bestof-five semi-final series 11-9 in overtime. The Rivermen were playing catchup all night and late in the third period, Dylan Llord tied the game and Wayne VanEvery sent the game to OT where Owen Sound capitalized twice on what the referee interpreted as a five-minute spearing call against Roger Vyse. Sunday, July 22nd, the series shifted to Owen Sound but the results were the same. A late period surge by the Rivermen sent the game to OT, but penalties disrupted any kind of flow for Six Nations and Owen Sound got its second OT win. Back at the GPA for Game three and potentially the last game of the year for the Rivermen, but they were not ready to step aside and gave the North Stars the toughest game so far, taking the lead at 13:49 and never relinquishing it, despite the North Stars snapping at their heals the whole night. The Rivermen led 2-1 after the first period on goals by Wayne VanEvery and Todd Squire. It was a high scoring second period with nine goals scored in total, five
for Six Nations and four for the Stars to total a 7-5 second period lead. Roger Vyse, Todd Squire, and Brendan Muise contributing for the Rivermen. Greg Longboat opened the third period and Riley Johnson closed it for the 9-6 win and a chance to fight another day. That opportunity came Saturday night at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. Everyone in the Six Nations dressing room knew what had to be done and they did it eaking out an 8-7 win to even the series at two games apiece and setting up for Tuesday night’s series ending game five, at the GPA in a game that will miss our deadline. The Rivermen had a strong first period outscoring the Stars 5-2. The North Stars opened and closed the first period, but Six Nations put five goals in-between and added two more in the second while Thompson got his second for the Stars to make it 7-3 after 40 minutes. But the Stars really wanted to win the series in front of the home crowd and pulled out all the stops in the third period mounting a huge comeback out-scoring Six Nation 4-1 in the period, one goal shy of forcing another OT decision. Awaiting the winner of this series is the Oakville Titans who won their series over the Brooklin Merchants, who went the distance as well, to take that series 3-2.

Montour signs $6.77M deal with Anaheim Ducks JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES
ANAHEIM CA — The Anaheim Ducks and 24-year-old Six Nations defensemen Brandon Montour have come to a two-year agreement for an undisclosed amount and are both looking forward to a great 2018-19 season, according to the Ducks publicist. The deal avoided an arbitration ruling as a restricted free agent which could have gone either way. As a restricted freeagent, a player who is no longer considered to be entry-level, but does not qualify as an unrestricted free agent, becomes a restricted free agent when his contract expires. A player may only declare himself to be an unrestricted free agent if he is over the age of 27 or has played in the league for a minimum of 7 years. "The deal we had right now, from our standpoint,
Six Nations’ Delaware, Brandon Montour, signed a new two-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks. He PHOTO SUBMITTED has signed for $6.77 million, $3.2 million per-year. .
it's fair," Montour told the Anaheim media. "The arbitrator could have went either way, either lower or higher. That's the chance you take. We felt this was fair,” he said. Montour has fit right in, not only with the team, but also with the community at large and loves it in Anaheim, and they love
him. "For me, I've told plenty of people that I love it in Anaheim,” he said. “How could you not? The staff and my teammates, everything is unbelievable. The time I've had there so far has been great and hopefully I get better each and every game every year here in the next two. The
goal is to get that longterm deal and hopefully we can take some time and digest it and not worry about this anymore and focus on the year, which will be nice, and get back to it." Montour was selected by Anaheim in the second round of the 2014 NHL Draft and signed to an
entry level contract of $925,00. He has recorded 38 points (11 goals, 27 assists) in 107 regular-season NHL games and eight assists in 21 playoff games. "I think we all agreed with a shorter term and getting better as we keep going on,” Montour said about his career strategy. “I've only played 128 games. It was one of those things where I think the shorter term was the best fit for both of us. As we go on the next year or two, we'll keep chatting about hopefully a longer term, like the rest of the defensemen there." The new season begins Wednesday, Oct. 3rd. with the Ducks on the road to San Jose to face the Sharks. The new-look Toronto Maple Leafs, with John Tavares wearing the Blue and White, also debuts the same night against the Montreal Canadians.

The Excelsiors sent the Toronto Beaches packing in four straight games in their semi-final matchup, and the Northmen downed the St.Catharines Athletics four games to one in that series. It was the Athletics that disposed of the Six Nations Arrows in three straight games earlier in the post season.

Six Nations eliminated from Founders Cup ..CONTINUED CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
hero of the game when he scored the game winner 19:00 even. The Rebels came close to sending it to overtime in the last minute of play but could not get another one past Landon Kells who played a spectacular game to field off the Rebels last gasp and send a large contingent of the
huge ILA crowd home happy and the other half disappointed but appreciative of at least loosing in such a well played series against a very, very good Mohawks team. After the Rebels won Game 1, 11-6 at the ILA. the Elora Mohawks clawed a 7-6 win out of Game 2 in Elora. It was a very tightly played game
that stood 3-3 after the first period and 6-6 after the second. The score remained tied for most of the third period with sensational goaltending and defensive plays at both ends, until Mohawks’ Mason Noble scored the game winner, unassisted, with 27 seconds left in the game. Friday night at Six Nations, Elora took a 2-1 edge in the series in another nail-biter that ended 10-9 in Elora’s favour. Mohawks’ goalie Landon Kells was one of the differences, robbing Six Nations shooters all game. But the big problem was a non-existant penalty killing squad, allowing five Elora powerplay goals on eight attempts. The Rebels powerplay unit went zero and one. Sunday, July 29th, at the Elora Communitty Centre, the Rebs and Mohawks clashed again, this time the Rebels came out the 12-9 winner, but it took a wild third period of action to do it. It was tied 3-3 going into the first intermission, and 6-5 Elora after two completed periods. Khan General balanced the score at 6-6, 22-sec-
onds into the third. Elora took the narrow 7-6 lead back at 1:53. The Rebels exploded with goals scored by Kobe Whitcomb, Tanner Baldwin and Bo Peltier to turn the game towards Six Nations, 9-7. Cole Spear drew the Mohawks close again and the Rebels responded with goals scored by Waylon Abrams and Khan General. Kurtis Woodland would score Elora’s last goal of the game and Daylen Hill collected an empty netter at 19:45 for the 12-9 final, to tie the series at 2-2 with Monday’s game in the balance. Last season, the Rebels had a stellar regular season only flatline in the playoffs, and coach Miles General does not want to see that to happen again, but they were up against a determined Elora Mohawk team. The Rebels held the Founders Cup between 2011 and 2014, an unprecedented feat. They also won it in 2007 and 2008, and as the Six Nations Red Rebels, they won it in 1997. The Elora Mohawks last won it in 2005.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t hesitate to express the passion you are feeling for a loved one. If you do not share your feelings, others will not know what you are thinking and fail to respond.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It’s time to trust your instincts, Taurus. When something does not seem on the up and up, you owe it to yourself to speak up. Keep in mind that others may not believe.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Your romantic life seems to be full of complicated patterns that could be perceived as obstacles, Gemini. Don’t let these things hinder your relationships. Start making changes. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Sitting back and not doing much this week will move you nowhere quickly, Cancer. You need to find motivation to be productive and get to the tasks at hand.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you can stay on course, things will move along quite well for you. There are plenty of distractions that may be in your way, but you must look beyond them. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Get outdoors and enjoy a walk through the park or a hike, Virgo. It’s what you need after being cooped up for too long. Outdoor projects also may beckon you. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start planning a much-needed vacation right now. And don’t forget to look beyond your usual haunts, as there are many other options available as well.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try not to get swept away by bad habits. Try something new and obtain a fresh perspective, whether the task is large or small. Accept challenges as they come.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 There is no need to go to extremes to get your point across, Capricorn. Listen to other people’s opinions, recognizing that their insight may prove valuable.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, there is nothing wrong with questioning the actions of others. This can be a great way to understand others’ points of view and fine tune your own.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 All it takes is a little spark and then your motivation will renew, Pisces. It won’t take very long to get back on track if you desire it.
