Pro golfers help train youth for Ontario Aboriginal Summer Games

By Jayson Koblun CALEDONIA – Professional golfers Steve Tooshkenig and Jesse Smith will be teaching youth from all across Ontario the fundamentals of golf in preparation for the 2016 Ontario Aboriginal Summer Games competition (OASG).

The Games provide athletes with development and competition opportunities that will prepare them for the upcoming 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG). The Aboriginal Sport and Wellness Council of Ontario (ASWCO) is hosting the 2016 Ontario Aboriginal Summer Games (OASG) for the first time.

“The kids will learn the fundamentals of several different sports,” said Tooshkenig, from the ASWCO. “This morning we’ll teach them golf, but they will also be learning rifle shooting, lacrosse and more today too. Today, the first day, the youth learn basic skills — we teach them the basic skills of all these sports and then the competition takes place on Thursday [July 21].”

Aboriginal athletes born between 1998 and 2003 will compete in the games from July 19 to 21 where first, second

kind of happens in life and if I can relay some of what I’ve learned through golf to these youth, that’s what I want to do.”

Smith said that if he were to give someone new to golf some advice, he would tell them to “Have fun with it. When it’s fun it creates interest and from there it ripples out to their friends, family and other relationships. It’s also really important to learn the fundamentals — everybody has their own per-

sonally and play style but if we can teach them the basics it becomes a building block for them to move forward.”

Smith also said that golf is a game of honesty and integrity.

“You govern yourself on the course through honesty and integrity — those are two very important aspects of golf,” he said. “Just don’t forget to have fun.”

Smith, a professional golfer who tours the world participating in tournaments, said that he is excited to be a part of teaching youth the fundamentals of golf.

“Steve and I have worked together on other youth and golf clinics before,” said Smith. “He asked me to be a part of this and I’m really excited to help out and see the different skill these youth have.”

Tooshkenig said that he is expecting to see some youth participate who are at a grassroots, or a very beginner level and others who are almost up to the elite level.

“Thats what you do in the sport field. Myself and Jesse [Smith] will figure out the different levels of skill the youth have and group them into the learning group or the high level group, and we will begin or teaching from there. Five buses of youth came in, we should have around 200 athletes participating.”

“We want to make sure the youth learn the game

and growing some more interest around it,” said Tooshkenig.

“Helping our youth get involved in sport, something we’ve always been involved in, and seeing it grow outside of Six Nations is what we want to see happen.”

Smith said that he is excited to help teach at these games because he remembers what golf has meant to him throughout his life.

“Golf has given me a lot of different opportunities in life and I want to be able to create opportunities for these youth as well,” he said. “What happens on the golf course

SN Imagination Library celebrates one year

By Jayson Koblun

EVERYBODY DANCE!!

VETERAN’S PARK – Holly Frank and the rest of the team behind the Six Nations Imagination Library celebrated the groups first birthday last week in Ohsweken.

PMS Black C “I think we did fabulous,” said Holly Frank, PMS 186 a full-time personal support worker living in Six Nations who also finds time to manage the group. “To have 172 kids join in the past year is awesome.”

The imagination library is a free subscription program founded by country music star Dolly Parton that parents register their children into soon after they are born. The child receives one book per month until they reach their fifth birthday — in the last year the group has seen 16 children graduate from the program.

Six Nations’ Imagination Library began last June when the group received its first monetary sponsor. The group sent out its first book to a child in the community last August and celebrated its birthday in Veteran’s Park last week with story-telling, face-painting, free strawberry juice and cupcakes.

but when I tried to get a hold of the family their email addresses we incorrect or their phone numbers were out of service,” said Frank.

“It costs us money every time we regisFILE 1A ter a DESIGN child and when it doesn’t work out, that’s money gone out the window and we just don’t have money to waste right now.”

Frank would like to ask the community that when families register the children into the library that they make sure that their contact information is correct and up-to-date.

“Everyone has done a great job this year,” said Frank. “We know we still have a lot of work to do, but seeing all the good this program brings the community keeps us going.”

The group in charge of running the Six Nations Imagination Library celebrated its first birthday in Veteran's Park on July 13. The group now has 172 children registered into the free program and has seen 16 children graduate. PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN “We don’t have an official birth date, but we picked this day because it fits in with when we received our first donation and when we sent out our first book,” said Frank. “Since August 2015 to now, we’ve mailed 971 books out into our community.”

The group is still in a grassroots stage, small, but working very hard to add to their numbers.

All donations and sponsors are very much ap-

preciated.

“We recently received a 10 thousand dollar grant from the Six Nations Community Trust Fund,” said Frank. “That doesn’t mean we were given 10 thousand dollars cash though — we bring our invoices to the community trust and they will pay or invoice up to that amount.”

Frank said that right now the group is thinking about applying for more grants and reach-

ing out to larger organizations that could help.

“There is no cost for the family. The library pays $45 a year per child, which covers the cost of the book and shipping fees and it’s my job to find that funding.”

Cole Squire, Frank’s son, has been a huge help to the team and Frank said that he is really committed to the growth of the library.

“It’s become so much more than just getting

kids registered in the program,” said Squire.

“The long-term effects of this program help with reducing poverty, social and healthcare costs, remediation in school and it prepares kids to enter school so they can excel in high school and post-secondary.

“Sometimes it seems like we are moving slowly, but we’re getting somewhere and that’s what really matters,” he said.

One thing Frank said that has been a little disappointing this year has been the few occasions where books that were sent out were not picked-up or received by the families.

“A few times I received notifications that some books weren’t getting picked up. So I had to pick them up and try to deliver them myself,

TWO ROW TIMES

Homeless in Six Nations Editorial by Jonathan Garlow The traffic in downtown Ohsweken is becoming horrible and unbearable.

Imagine if in 100 years the intersection at Chiefswood and 4th Line is completely urbanized like downtown Toronto and stays that way. Maybe all this construction is giving us a glimpse of the corporate future our community is facing.

The youth of Six Nations battle many different types of expectations and social pressures growing up. A huge focus of attaining Western education is the lucrative promise of solid careers that command huge salaries and benefits — basically buying into the capitalist system, full throttle.

Parents are simply pushing their children in this direction because they want what’s best for them. Our ancestors have always wanted what’s best for us — thinking of the future generations is a staple of our society.

It seems predetermined that Six Nations kids must individually possess their own land, house and car someday, but the statistics show there are approximately six and a half people in every house here on Six Nations (that is if we figure 14,500 members living on reserve with 2,200 mailing addresses here as well).

Our housing problem may have different characteristics than those the people of Attawapiskat face, but it still exists. Six Nations has its own housing crisis.

Because of our population explosion many of these youth are now adults who are still living with their parents or on a siblings couch. The Six Nations Housing department is chronically underfunded and some band members have been waiting on the list for decades.

And when your name comes up you have to hope that you have some extra money set aside or you go to the back of the line again.

Many young adults are forced to rent an apartment in satellite towns and cities beside the reserve because of all of the difficulties in building their own home.

It’s even worse when our band continuously spends millions on failed projects and you are just sitting there on the waiting list hoping you can have your own house someday.

We have homeless people here on Six Nations, but we don’t recognize them. They aren’t strangers begging for cash on the streets, they are your neighbours or your kids asking to “borrow” 20 bucks. They strangled by poverty, have horrible credit and will never qualify for a loan for a house.

And they aren’t alone.

An official report by the Assembly of First Nations showed that 23.4 per cent of First Nation adults live in overcrowded housing on-reserve. The same data suggests that 27 per cent of us may be technically homeless.

The Federal government has kept Indigenous nations in perpetual poverty because they restrict our finances, but fully enjoy our land that is under claim.

Meanwhile, Six Nations has enough young adults to fill a high rise apartment building so we need to start exploring our options and find a serious solution.

My 20 years of

By Chezney Martin Pokemon literally taught me how to be a good person.

It isn't just this game where Pokemon fight each other, or where you just aim to catch the Pokemon that are the hardest to find — you actually become a heroine or hero in the game; something like a 'chosen one.'

You have to interact with characters that teach you important life lessons and you build bonds with Pokemon as you travel the chosen region battling and learning. After all your hard work in obtaining gym badges and proving yourself to be a good and kind trainer, you get to meet a Legendary Pokemon and have the chance to catch it. There are also other facets of the game that most don't know about, including Pokemon pageantry (Pokecontests) and competitive sports for Pokemon (Pokeathlons).

Also, if you ever get stuck on a part of the game, or have any questions about rare or hard to find Pokemon, the online forums are amazingly helpful. The Pokemon community is vast and dedicated.

I guess with a description of the game like that, I'm a bit of a die-hard Pokefan, but, the games weren't where it all started for me — it started with cards.

Kids would waltz around with binders full of Pokemon cards to trade and share at school; I was probably about four or five when I got my first card, a Phanpy; however, the cards didn't really interest me because I was too young to know how to battle and I didn't want to share my Phanpy with anyone.

But, I absolutely loved watching the Pokemon anime. I would sing my heart out to the opening song and watch as Pokemon taught my little heart how to love.

“Who's that Pokemon”, a segment of the show where a blank silhouette of a Pokemon was shown and viewers had to guess who it was, was my favourite touch to the

episodes. But, that soon ended after the release of Pokemon 2000 when the original voice of Ash Ketchum, one of the shows main characters, was changed to what sounded like a woman trying to make a deep voice impression. I remember frowning and turning the channel to Card Captors, another animated TV show.

So, Pokemon left my life for a while, but I later became acquainted with GameBoy Advance and Pokemon Emerald Version. However, I didn't really understand the name of the game back then, I just got bored with the long story line, let my Pokemon faint all of the time and soon forgot about the game in my 'technology drawer.'

As I got a little older, maybe about 12, I returned to my drawer to find that my Pokemon Emerald had been stolen by one of my cousins. At first I thought to myself “wonder why they'd steal that thing,” but I couldn't help but feel this intense nostalgia of how much I loved the Pokemon anime. I decided that day that I wanted to be like Ash Ketchum.

A week later, I took my GameBoy Advance (which had mainly been used to play Mario Brothers), and went to a Buy and Sell Shop. Inside I found a copy of Pokemon 2000 for VHS, a Pokemon Sapphire and went home happier than a pig in mud.

I have to admit that Sapphire was a lot of fun; I quickly learned on my own that the different types and evolutions of Pokemon were just as important as how high their happiness levels were as I defeated Gym Leaders and Team Magma/Aqua grunts alike in the Hoenn Region.

To my absolute delight, my grandmother later gave me a DS Lite for Christmas, and with it Pokemon Platinum, Pearl and Diamond. I defeated each of them, but I almost felt like the newer Pokemon took away from what I knew Pokemon to be.

So, when Pokemon SoulSilver was released, I didn't sleep. I revelled in the older but new again Pokemon from Pokemon Silver and I stayed up for an entire weekend to beat the game. And not just a mild defeat of the game in the Johto region, but I earned the other eight badges in Kanto too.

Friends asked me to hang out, and when I declined they asked me what the heck I was doing that was so great. I told them 'Pokemon.'

With just that one word you wouldn't believe how many were either confused, surprised or scoffing. But, my love didn't die.

So, now that there's Pokemon Go, those same people that thought I was a nerd are literally outside running around trying to capture Pokemon.

But, I feel no resentment.

I have this feeling of intense satisfaction watching people that made fun of me for my Pokemon obsession trying to capture a Pidgey in their back yard. That satisfaction only grows when I'm asked “is this a good one, or is this a weak one?”

As they walk around, bumping into things. I almost feel like bringing my hands together like a super-villain as they become exactly what I was when I played Pokemon Sapphire for the first time, obsessed.

But I have to tell you the icing on the cake is when I can tell an unknowing friend that Rattata is the 'best Pokemon,' and mutter 'noob' under my breath.

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

AFN is an advocacy group

INAC is not the crown

By Rachel Snow

Treaties that were signed or agreed upon between the encroaching settlers and original people involved two world views.

The initial treaties from the Eastern door are called peace and friendship treaties, but this is a recurrent theme in all treaty making that involves the original people. Peace and harmony between different nations or agreements with Creation are necessary to maintain the balance that supports life for all people, plants and animals on Turtle Island.

Treaties were spiritual undertakings or covenants that the original people made with the newcomers. Common references are made about the spirit and intent of treaty, which means that there is a sacred understanding that the Creator and all Creation have witnessed these discussions.

The path of understanding diverges here. The original people, the First Nations understood that they would always live in peace, friendship and with a lifestyle that respected the earth and all inhabitants. The colonizers looked at the treaty as a document that gave them rights to take the land.

How do we find treaty relevance in today’s current indigenous struggle?

We find the spirit and intent that looked to the Creator, the people and all Creation being compromised in the form of modern day agreements and memoranda of understanding.

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) latest media hype has been to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Government “to look at a new fiscal relationship”. This MOU signing shows the ongoing interference of a lobby group

acting as a representative body speaking for the First Nations across Canada.

AFN is an advocacy group. They are to lobby at the federal level and try to bring a cohesive voice to the table on First Nation issues. After voicing the concerns of the individual nations, AFN has completed their role. They must then step back or take a seat.

Further to this, Indigenous and Northern Affairs (INAC) is not the Crown or a nation. The media hype has stated that this is a nation-to-nation agreement.

Where are the nations?

Canada is a state that has yet to produce a bill of sale or a document that they can rely upon to claim the territories and resources of all the Indigenous nations who are presently within the state of Canada.

So in fact this MOU signing was between an advocacy group and representatives of the state of Canada. This is not a nation-to-nation signing.

These players are out of their league and out of their jurisdiction. Indigenous affairs also known as Indian affairs has had more than 150 years of poor relations with the sovereign nations via the Indian Act legislation. Recent calls for the ending of this apartheid act have seemingly driven the AFN into action, firmly establishing that they are the organization that will be discussing fiscal matters.

The Assembly of First Nations has overstepped their boundaries. Is this action similar to former AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo’s signing of the First Nation education agreement behind closed doors with the Harper Government? This led to all the chiefs of the assembly calling a special assembly and eventually led to Atleo’s resignation. Is this not the same issue for current

AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde?

It is clear at the 2016 AFN Annual General Assembly, there was some tension with the Ontario Chiefs under Chief Isadore Day abstaining from signing the Niagara 2016 MOU. This agreement was touted as the beginning of a new fiscal relationship. All the talk centred on removing the two per cent cap that the Liberal government (under Paul Martin) had originally instituted.

Bellegarde talked about communities having more certainty in financial planning and as always “closing the gap”.

Is there more certainty with this MOU? The remarks at the national level are very confusing, because it seems that the regions were not aware of this event. There have been questions raised on the Missing and Murdered Women’s Inquiry and the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action (UNDRIP); however, funding remains a contentious issue because national figures that trickle from Indian Affairs to actual communities is often the same amount or less. There are also questions about the onerous reporting tasks that come with Indian affairs program dollars. This has led many indigenous analysts to criticize the role of “elected leadership” as being not actual leaders but in fact only administrators of program dollars.

Furthermore, this MOU was made following the announcement by indigenous Justice Minister Wilson-Raybould’s statement that implementing the UNDRIP into Canadian law would be “unworkable”.

It seems more likely that the MOU or the signing, complete with chiefs in headdresses and ribbon shirts, was a photo op to

make it appear that the Liberal government is in fact honouring the many pre-election promises made to the indigenous people. The fact remains that the liberal government is not acting any different than their predecessors in the Harper government.

One size fits all approaches are not respectful of the different linguistic and geographic sovereign original peoples who have constitutionally entrenched rights. It is the original laws and ways of the first people that have been entrenched. It is not subject to the Crown — federal or provincial or the state of Canada to undermine or derogate from the original treaties or covenants that were undertaken by our indigenous ancestors.

It seems almost comic or coincidence that the UNDRIP was found to be unworkable into Canadian law while this MOU was being “rammed through” (quoting Chief Isadore Day). It is comical because UNDRIP states that the original people must have free prior and informed consent with regard to resource development.

In establishing this MOU, the AFN has effectively stepped in to re-negotiate or start a new fiscal relationship without the free, prior and informed consent of the very people they purport to represent.

Colonizers improperly took land and resources from the Indigenous people of Turtle Island. It is the dollars from this theft that continue the contractual nation to nation relationship between the descendants of the original peoples and the state who enjoy their lifestyle, based on theft. Resolving this issue, will take more than a hastily concocted photo op MOU.

Hydro One and First Nations Dear editor, Premier Kathleen Wynne sells Hydro One stocks at a loss to First Nations — the share value is $26.10, but Wynne sells them for $18.00 so if you discount 15 million shares x $8.10 that would equal $122,500,000 profit for First Nation people before the ink dries.

So in reality, Wynne sold 15 million shares for $137,500,000 to buy the First Nations vote?

Next up, will the teachers unions to get discounted stock and will other unions to get the same deal? Is Wynne buying votes to secure a Liberal victory next election?

I thought Ontari-owe was broke but I guess with Wynne's bank of Ontari-owe we have lots of money left in our pockets to fund the Bank of Ontari-owe through higher taxes and fees and new taxes and fees and higher hydro rates. Also a $100 million transmission line intended to bring electricity into Ontario from the United States is not delivering any hydro because of a Six Nations land dispute in Caledonia, Hydro One is unable to complete the last couple kilometres of the power line according to a CTV news article.

The people of Ontario have paid more than $50 million in interest on top of the cost of the transmission line in which Bob Chiarelli our former energy minister stated is unfortunate but it just the price of doing business. Also I would like to note Premier Wynne gave the OPG and Hydro One unions a $111 million loan to buy Hydro One stock and to secure their support in the sale of Hydro One.

Like worker bees, a crew of more than 70 volunteers began work on the self-sustaining, Earthship home being built by Ecotecture Earthships out of New Mexico. Fran Doxtator's new home represents the first Earthship to be built on First Nations soil in Canada. It is also the first humanitarian aid project which they hope will become a flagship project for other reserves as well across Canada. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Flower’s earthship has landed

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – Francine “Flower” Doxtator has been waiting for her ship to come in for three years, since her name was anonymously submitted and accepted by Earthship Biotechture, based in New Mexico, to receive a totally eco-friendly home built for her.

Since then, there have been more than a few roadblocks to be cleared out of the way, which had left Doxtator feeling less than confident the project would materialize at all.

But on Monday morning, a small army of around 70 volunteer workers from around the world, along with Brantford and Six Nations volunteers, poured onto her property, set up a tent village and almost immediately began work.

Their arrival was an emotional release for her and her family.

“I felt kinda numb when they started to come down my driveway,” said Doxtator from the middle of the bustling site. “There’s always been a bit of skepticism there.

This is unbelievable. Who comes up to you and tells

Laurier University professor Robert Feagan. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE you they are going to build you a new home?

How many people does that happen to?”

While still claiming support of the project, elected council decided collectively at a previous general council meeting that they could not offer official invitations to the 70 plus visitor and workers, thinking that poten-

tial liability issues while the workers are here might hold them responsible.

But Fran believes that doesn’t mean they cannot be here as her invited guests; however, it did create some concern that Band Council could prevent the project from happening.

“They’re just mad be-

cause I didn’t involve them or let them know that any of this was going on,” says Doxtator. “But no one is going to put a stop to it now.

“I have been around that housing list twice,” she says. “How do you go from number 23 on the waiting list for a new home, and three months later you’re 189 on that

list. I’ve had it with trying to work within their system.”

Like honey bees, the work team swarmed a small hill located behind Doxtator’s time-warn trailer home on Sixth Line Road and almost immediately began an amazingly co-ordinated effort to build Fran’s Earthship.

Amongst those work-

ing and overseeing the project is Earthship Biotecture creator and founder Michael Reynolds of New Mexico. Reynolds has been building Earthships and perfecting its ecofriendly and self-sustaining technology since the 1970s.

“I think that when people start to understand these homes, and like them, we then use 80 to 90 per cent less fuels in Canada,” says Reynolds of his creations. “That in itself is a big thing. When people are comfortable they are happy. There is no real down side to trying to make this happen.

It also repurposes hundreds of tires that we don’t have to burn and pollute the air. Every way you look at it, it’s positive.”

Also getting his hands dirty was Rob Feagan, a professor at Wilfred Laurier University in Brantford.

“I do a lot of community development kind of work with a focus on shelter and social justice,” he said. “When I read in your paper that an Earthship was being built here I wanted to help. I have CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

EARTHSHIP BUILD LOCAL studied the earthship idea for years and I found it a little different than the Habitat for Humanity work I do in El Salvador and other parts of Canada.”

Feagan said he was also interested in being a part of building bridges with Six Nations in recognition that ally-ship.

“That is a very important part of what I need to be doing, helping to facilitate my students in their learning,” he says. “There is a real sense here of contributing something to a better world, even if it’s just one house. But this idea can ripple out and play a role in perhaps other First Peoples across Canada.”

He has found an immediate affinity with Flower.

“Flower is just a fabulous woman,” says Feagan. “She was very emotional when we came and really loves the fact that we are here. It was a really beautiful moment.”

“There is a real sense of contributing something to a better world, even if it’s just one house.

But this idea can ripple

out and play a role in perhaps other First Peoples across Canada,” he says.

Project co-ordinator, Deborah Binder is originally from the Virgin Islands, Spain, and is an old hand at keeping Earthship projects on time and on budget.

“We have done projects in Canada before but they have been private homes for people, but this is the first time we are doing a humanitarian project like this,” says Binder. “We have been wanting to do something for First Nations for years because of the housing crisis’ on reserves. We are hoping this will be the first of many more similar projects.”

Many crew workers have built conventional homes through “Habitat-for-Humanity” type projects, Others, building Earthships around the world.

“In India and the Phillipines, they welcome us with open arms and want to know what they can do to help us,” says Binder.

“But here is North America and some places in Europe, it is much more

difficult.”

Donations will still be needed to complete the Six Nations’ project to a higher standard.

“We have a very tight budget now and we can do it with that budget, but the more money we have to work with, better the systems are going to be,” says Binder.

One such upgrade from the basic unit was the toilet facilities.

“We talked about it yesterday and decided that since it is for Flower and her five grandchildren, she really needs the upgrade which is an extra $500 for example.”

Donations can be received either through biotectureplanetearth. com, or by dropping by and leaving a donation and a tax receipt.

Terri-Lynn Brant is acting as Six Nations co-ordinator for the project and led the group in an opening address Tuesday morning.

“I am very thankful to her that she is going to help me set up and look after the workers,” says Doxtator.

RELATIONSHIPS

MATTER Ontario Power Generation believes relationships with Indigenous communities require a foundation built on respect, honesty and transparency.

That’s why we’re committed to working with you to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships near our current and future operations, like the Lac Seul generating station, the newly completed 438 MW Lower Mattagami stations, and now the new Peter Sutherland Sr. Station, scheduled for completion in 2018, and the new solar project at our Nanticoke site on Lake Erie.

Film viewing opens discussion at McMaster

By Jayson Koblun HAMILTON – A public viewing of a documentary film made by Dr. Dawn Martin Hill about the Haudenosaunee reclamation of traditional lands was shown at McMaster University last week, followed by a time of group discussion.

The film, Sewatokwa’tshera't: The Dish with One Spoon was produced in 2008 and was shown to students and the public to open the floor up to discussion and to let more people learn about specific land claim issues the Haudenosaunee have faced — specifically when a group of people from Six Nations blocked the development of the Caledonia/Douglas Creek Estates subdivision and reclaimed Kanonhstaton (loosely translated as “the protected place”).

“Sometimes it seems like non-natives just don’t get what First Nations people have gone through to keep their land,” said

Heather George, the research assistant at McMaster University who organized the showing.

“This land reclamation showed how much we really care and how far we will go in a non-violent way to stand up for what’s right.”

The film, just over one hour in length, began with a brief history and overview of some of the Haudenosaunee’s cultural practices. It describes some of the original treaties that were made between the Dutch settlers and First Nations, the clan and confederacy system, when and how the first elected system came to Canada, some roles of Haudenosaunee clan mothers, and more — eventually leading up to several of the factors that played a role in the events that took place at Kanonhstaton.

Some of the those who watched the film were shocked to see the amount of police violence that was imposed upon those at the land reclamation.

“It blows my mind that this wasn’t that long ago,” said Shanna Peltier, a student at McMaster University. “It’s only been 10 years — the kind of violence and ignorance I just saw [in the documentary] is overwhelming.”

Much of the discussion after the viewing was centred around the lack of knowledge that many non-natives have when it comes to who owned and still owns the land that many settlements and communities like Caledonia reside on.

“More people need to know the history of the country they live in,” said George. “Many of the supports who came out in support of the subdivision didn’t know that the land they were building on wasn’t land that a developer could just build on because they wanted to.”

The documentary showed how community members of Six Nations and surrounding areas came and stood together, forgetting their differ-

ences, in support of one cause and Karissa John, a student from McMaster, was moved by the idea of such a large collective of support and wants to see people remember the feeling back then and keep it moving forward.

“Stuff like this [improper land dealings] still happens today. We are all dealing with things like this one way or another, if it’s not land then it’s something else,” said John.

“People in the community have a lot of issues and disagreements, but look how well everyone came together to fight for this issue back then. We need to get that mentality back and continue to support each other.”

After the film’s showing, John was asked how she might respond to a non-native who felt guilty or bad for what happened to First Nations during the land reclamation and

other similar events. She said that she hasn’t come across many non-natives who do feel guilty or responsible for events like that, but she would suggest that they do whatever they can get educated and help.

“I would ask them to learn Canada’s history and become more educated on the issues that many indigenous people still face,” she said. “Education is everything.”

Six Nations host community for AFN General Assembly

By Nahnda Garlow with CP files NIAGARA FALLS — Six Nations of the Grand River was pleased to be the host community to the Assembly of First Nations 2016 General Assembly.

The three day conference brought together elected officials from Canada’s reserve communities to discuss key issues under the banner of gaining momentum towards a nation to nation relationship with communities and the federal government.

Indigenous knowledge needed Environment minister Catherine McKenna was present and re-iterated the importance of traditional indigenous knowledge in assessing climate impacts and resource projects.

Catherine McKenna's address to the AFN's annual meeting sounded some now-familiar Liberal government themes: healing the relationship with Canada's First Nations and consulting with indige-

nous peoples on a host of policy areas.

McKenna focused much of her speech on a just-completed family vacation that took her to Haida Gwaii, off the northern B.C. coast, and to Dene territory in the Northwest Territories. ``Everyone I've met has shared with me why the lands are so important to them and their families,'' she said.

McKenna began her 22-minute speech by noting she was the first environment minister to address the Assembly of First Nations in at least a decade, and quite possibly ever.

She asked the chiefs to get involved in ongoing public consultations over the revamping of Canada's environmental assessment system, and promised that a pan-Canadian climate plan being developed this summer with the provinces and territories is heavy on aboriginal consultation.

Major resource projects are already being

Chiefs from across Canada gathered in Niagara Falls for the 2016 AFN General Assembly. PHOTO BY NAHNDA GARLOW assessed, she said, using ``the key principles that indigenous peoples will be meaningfully consulted and, where appropriate, impacts on rights and interests will be accommodated.''

McKenna also said that traditional knowledge will be specifically included in wildlife conservation decisions. ``We know that traditional knowledge provides us with invaluable information. It makes our research more efficient and provides us with firsthand observations about the state of our land, wa-

ter, flora and fauna,'' she said.

Protocol with RCMP signed RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson was also present at the AFN to discuss how to reconcile First Nations communities and citizens in Canada and the police.

Paulson said the RCMP needs to work in partnership with Canada's Aboriginal Peoples in order to improve relations between the force and the country's indigenous communities, commissioner Bob Paulson says.

Paulson, whose organi-

SHOP AROUND THEN BUY FROM US!

Paulson reportedly replied. ``I don't want them to be in my police force.''

It was important to invite the commissioner back to the July AFN meeting to discuss how to tackle officer misconceptions, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde told the gathering. ``How can we work together to make sure that air is clear, that cloud is gone?'' said Bellegarde.

First Nations leaders are aware there are ``always going to be issues'' that play out with police locally, regionally and nationally, he added.

The question of racism and bias within law enforcement is sure to be a central theme during a forthcoming and long-awaited inquiry into the phenomenon of missing and murdered indigenous women.

The government is expected to announce the mandate of the inquiry sometime this summer; a specific date has not been released.

zation has long been the object of scorn from aboriginal Canadians who feel unfairly treated.

The two sides have developed a joint protocol that spells out the force's goals of working to ensure indigenous people in Canada are safe, to address diverse needs of communities and to strengthen mutual respect, Paulson said. ``I'm aware this protocol is simply words on paper, and words alone will not improve things,'' he said. ``I'm here today to pledge we will put actions to these words so we can continue the healing, continue the building and improve these vital relationships in every way possible.''

Last December, Paulson raised eyebrows when British Columbia Grand Chief Doug Kelly asked him a pointed question about racism within the RCMP during an AFN session in Gatineau, Que. ``I understand there are racists in my police force,''

Sounds of Summer at the Mohawk Chapel

By Chezney Martin

BRANTFORD – The Mohawk Chapel hosted a fun filled event to be known as “The Sounds of Summer,” which provided live music, kiddie activities, vendors and Indian tacos on Sunday, July 17.

The weather was perfect and the sky was clear as visitors were welcome to browse vendors, enjoy the scenery and live music and purchase items from moccasins to beaded accessories.

The event itself was organized by four hard working cultural interpreters; including Loretta Hill and Hannah Ruby.

“It was really good,” said Hill. “I'm glad that so many people turned out.”

Hill then explained that the entirety of the event was coordinated by herself and the other three cultural interpreters.

“I think we worked co-operatively to organize the entire event; get vendors, bring out the bouncy house, the fire truck and firefighters, as well as the

musicians,” said Hill.

The main musician was Vern Lickers, who brought a troupe of artists to perform alongside him as a musical trio, but the focus of the event wasn't just music.

“We were trying to let people know that the chapel is open, and people can come in for tours; because people don't always know that we're here and that we're open for business and people can come in. So, I guess we're just trying to let people know that they can come in and check it out,” she said.

In accordance to having several traditional vendors, Hill explained that their purpose had greater impact than simply to 'sell their wares.

As well, the event was well equipped for children with an area specifically for kids.

“Because even as a kid, I didn't like coming to things like this because I was always trailing my mom around from booth to booth to booth, and it's hot, there's nothing to do,

there's nowhere to go. So, having the firetruck, the bouncy house and the activities definitely helped and gave them something to do,” she said.

Alongside Hill, Ruby also said that the day was “a good mixture of fun and

education,” and that she was thankful the event went well.

“It was pretty smooth sailing, everybody set up themselves and got going,” said Ruby. “The only problem is that so many people don't know that we're open,

so it's hard getting vendors and to create such a big event.”

Ruby further explained that most people aren't aware that the Chapel is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., until Labour Day, and the grounds around the Chapel

Summer Hours: Mon-Fri 9am-6pm Sat and Sun 10am-6pm

CLOCKS

SIX NATIONS – A vehicle fire near a residence located on 1049, First Line Road called for four Six Nations Firefighters to be dispatched at 12:18 a.m. on Monday, July 18, further being updated that a resident on the scene was undergoing chest pain within the home.

The firefighter crew arrived on scene and quickly confirmed that a vehicle was fully engulfed in fire, which had spread farther to the residence. The crew reported that the flames and heavy smoke had begun to impinge on the overhead residential hydro line as well as the natural gas metre.

“The flame and smoke was starting to hit the house, so it started to set the house on fire,” said Fire Chief Matthew Miller. “Fortunately we were able to make a very quick response time, I think we were on scene in nine minutes. We were able to fight the fire back and

put it out, and at the same time we were doing that we searched the home and evacuated the three people that we found in the home and brought them out to the standing-by paramedics,” he said.

“The other problem that we had last night with the fire was as you can see, where the fire was it was right on the hydro line to the house and the natural gas metre was right next to it. So, all of that stuff basically melted, but it could have been a really big problem.

Had it severed off the hose we would have had a hydro line bust around with natural gas spewing out,” he said.

Had the fire reached the leaking natural gas, more and harder to control fire or an explosion could have occurred. But, the fire itself had been reported as diffused by 12:36 a.m., and during the aggressive attack on the fire, one of the fire fighters was injured with a possible fractured or

sprained ankle. Both the injured firefighter and resident were treated by the on-scene paramedics, and taken to the hospital for further assessment.

Along with stating that it is hoped the family may return to the home by the end of the day, Miller explained that what started the fire itself is quite suspicious.

“Because of the suspicious nature of the fire we secured the scene over night and asked for the assistance of the Fire Marshall, who attended today with one of the investigators,” said Miller.

“We've been on scene all day finishing up the investigation. We don't have a back story to release at this time, but we did find a lot of evidence,” he said.

Miller also hopes that if anyone had witnessed anything suspicious activity, he hopes they will contact the Six Nations Police to report any information by calling 519445-2811.

Mohawk Council of Akwesasne doesn’t recognize new Mikinak tribe

By TRT staff The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne has been informed that a newly formed group named the “Mikinak Tribe,” is fighting for the recognition of their members as Status Indians. This self-identified group, which is based out of Beauharnois, Quebec, seems to have ulterior motives that are money driven, and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne does not recognize or support this group as a First Nation Community.

During a radio interview on July 8, 2016 with the K103 Partyline Talkshow, Guillaume Carle, who identifies himself as the National Grand Chief and National Spiritual Elder of the Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada, noted that he was “a warrior from Ak-

wesasne,” and that he had “approached Akwesasne,” and is “working together (with Akwesasne).”

Additionally, in a June 29, 2016 interview with APTN, there is a nameplate that clearly displays Grand Chief of Akwesasne during a “Mikinak Tribe” meeting.

Grand Chief of Akwesasne Abram Benedict notes that “the Mikinak tribe has not approached the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne nor do we have any affiliation with them. This self-identified group seems to be claiming to be a Status Indian in order for tax exemption and money-driven motives.”

Lise Brisebois, a “Chief” of the “Mikinak Tribe,” has threatened businesses in Candiac, Quebec that if their

Alberta child advocate urges change, cultural rethink on indigenous kids in care

By Dean Bennett, Canadian Press EDMONTON — Alberta’s child advocate says seven out of every 10 youngsters in the province's welfare system are aboriginal and big changes are needed to bring those numbers down. ``Things are clearly not working,'' Del Graff said in a report Tuesday. ``Aboriginal families are struggling when they face challenges related to the safety and well-being of their children. And the child-welfare system in place to help them is not doing it very well.''

As of December, there were 6,880 children in care and 4,719 of those were aboriginal, Metis or Inuit.

Graff noted that total numbers have been falling since a peak in 2012, but the ratio has remained constant and is one of the highest in Canada.

He recommended the government make a number of changes, including giving indigenous communities more say and legal authority over how their children are cared for.

The report follows meetings and discussions with hundreds of stakeholders.

Graff said feedback showed it is critical that children be kept in their communities and with their families wherever possible.

He said taking kids from

their parents, siblings and surroundings profoundly hurts their well-being and ability to become successful adults.

Graff suggested a fundamental re-think is in order.

He said aboriginal culture views extended relatives and community members as caregivers as opposed to the Canadian-European model which focuses on immediate family.

Government officials still tend to make risk assessments and child care arrangements through the Canadian-European lens, he said. ``Participants (to the discussions) said the child intervention authorities at times take a view that aboriginal children are not being cared for when in fact that is not the case,'' wrote Graff. ``Without significant changes to the way the child-welfare system understands aboriginal children and families, there is every reason to believe that aboriginal children will continue to be over-represented in care.''

He also noted some stakeholders suggested that money going to foster parents of aboriginal children might better be spent helping aboriginal families overcome the circumstances that can lead to family breakups.

Graff's report was one of two issued Tuesday assessing the state of aboriginal kids in care. The other was from auditor general Merwan Saher.

F.A.Q

What exactly is a Pow-Wow anyways?

A pow wow is a social gathering of Indigenous People from North America. Typically there are two kinds of pow wow - Traditional and Competition style. The ‘Grand River Champion of Champions Pow- Wow’ is a competition pow-wow, one of the oldest and largest in Ontario. That means the dancers and drummers competing are skilled athletes and professionals who practice year round.

What happens at a Pow-Wow?

At the ‘Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow’, dancers and drum groups from across the United States & Canada compete to “place” for a cash prize of either 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the style category they choose to compete in. This is done by collecting points throughout the weekend. At the end of the weekend the dancer with the most points is named the “Champion of Champions”. That winner holds the title the entire year and receives a huge trophy.

What do the “costumes” mean?

Indigenous people never refer to their dancing attire as a costume. This is a common slip of the tongue - so don’t worry if you accidentally called it that.

A costume is something a person wears when they are dressing up as something they are not - for example at Hallowe’en you might see someone wearing a zombie costume. A better term to use is ‘outfit’ or ‘regalia’.

Why do different dancers wear different looking outfits?

There are 6 main styles of dance done at Grand River; Traditional Dances simply called Men’s or Women’s Traditional, Medicine Dances - Men’s Grass and Women’s Jingle, and Fancy Dances - Men’s Fancy Feather and Women’s Fancy Shawl. Within those styles the dancers are again divided according to age to make for easier judging; Golden Age, Adult, Teen, Kids, and Tiny Tot categories.

Where do I sit?

There are bleachers provided for the public. You can also bring your own lawn chair. Keep it on the outside of the area roped off for dancers and judges. There is an accessible seating area close to the drummers tent reserved for elders and persons with disabilites.

THE GROUNDS

Where do you get the outfits?

A dancer’s outfit is very personal and usually holds special meaning to them.

Dancers at the competitive level invest thousands of dollars and years of work into all the components that make up their regalia. Some dancers make their own regalia from scratch. But there are also highly skilled Indigenous Artists throughout North America who bead, craft and sew all the pieces that make up a person’s regalia for a living. The compilation of a dancer’s outfit is often an expression of who they are. Sometimes they will put a symbol on their outfit that represents what nation they come from or wear feathers they earned in honour of a special accomplishment they have achieved. Each person’s outfit is a piece of wearable art and means something special to the owner.

Can I take pictures of the dancers?

There are certain times during the pow-wow that you can’t take pictures.

Listen to the emcees and they will let you know when it is not okay to take pictures. In general, it is okay to take pictures of the dancers during competitions. However if you are want to take a dancer’s picture when they are walking about the rest of the pow-wow grounds it’s always appreciated if you ask for their permission first. Don’t be nervous, most of the time they will be glad to pose for you.

Are dogs or pets allowed?

No pets are allowed onto the powwow grounds except for working guide dogs for those who are visually impaired.

Drum Tent

The Pole

This area is only for registered drummers, the judges, emcee’s, elders and other pow wow officials.

After Grand Entry, the Eagle Staff is tied to the centre pole for the duration of the contest. It is “retired” or brought off the pole when the contests have finished and is re-posted at the end of every Grand Entry for the duration of the pow-wow.

The Dance Arena

also referred to as “the circle”. This area is considered blessed and sacred once Grand Entry and Invocation prayers are completed. Only competing dancers enter the circle with the exception of Intertribals or other special dances where people from all nations are invited out to dance together.

Emcee’s Area

Emcee-ing a pow-wow is a very special job as the person elected has to have full knowledge of pow-wow protocols, knowledge of the ceremonies and traditions, dance or drumming experience and be entertaining at the same time.

The Emcee will announce the contests coming up, explain protocol to visitors, and typically keep everybody laughing throughout the weekend.

Elders seating area

Special seating for the elderly and disabled. Please keep pathways around this area clear for elders and disabled visitors to walk safely through.

The Bleachers

get a great view from all angles in the comfy bleachers. If you brought a lawn chair of your own there is a space for that as well.

Food Vendors

This year there are over 40 options; offering various pow-wow treats from Indian Tacos to fruit salad. It’s all tasty, so don’t be afraid to try a little bit of everything.

Indigenous Arts and Craft Vendors

All vendors at the Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow are confirmed to be actual indigenous people selling authentic wares. With over 100 booths this year, make sure you tour about and pick up some authentic Indigenous made artwork.

The Eagle Staff

Usually a large cane shaped staff owned by the pow-wow committee/ community that has eagle feathers tied to it. The feathers typically represent a person who has passed on that meant a great deal to the community - a national “flag” of the host community so to speak.

JUDGING & DANCE STYES

Today’s competitive pow wow dance styles are a blend of many nations, traditions and styles. Here is some background information on the styles you will see competing this weekend at the Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow. In general each style gets two songs to showcase their dancing ability; first a basic straight song, and a special second song. This is done to highlight the dancing ability of each dancer and is an important part of the drumming contest. Dancers are divided into age categories from Tiny Tots all the way up to Golden Age dancers and judged on their dance style, their regalia, and on the way they carry themselves throughout the weekend.

Traditional Dancers

Men’s Traditional

First and foremost – dancers in this category are aiming to tell you a story. Typically it is one of a hunt, a battle, or a certain victory. Dancers utilize different movements to demonstrate the story they are telling you; crouching, tracking, aiming, dashing about and so on. Many dancers are taught to dance toward the centre of the circle and tap once on the pole or shout out during this style.

This is done to represent victory over an enemy or victory in the hunt they are telling you about.

One stellar Men’s Traditional second song is called the Duck and Dive. Some say this style of dance came about during the First World War. Dancers listen very carefully for slow hard drumbeats bend downward in time as if to dodge artillery fire.

Women’s Traditional

It looks easy enough, but when wearing regalia upwards of 40 lbs, the deep knee bends of a Women’s Traditional Dancer require a lot of leg strength, good balance and breath control. Scrubbing is a stationary dance style. Dancers bounce in place along in time with the drum turning ever so slightly. Some say scrubbing is the original women’s style of pow wow dance. When scrubbing the dancers are trying to keep those fringe tips snapping just right.

Walking style is when the dancers travel around the circle in deep knee bends, taking small steps forward. Dancers who use the walking style want to look smooth, controlled and elegant as their fringe sways in time to the drum. They sometimes recognize the strong beats of the drum, called honour beats, by either leaning forward or lifting their fan in the air - depending on what nation they come from.

The Medicine Dancers Men’s Grass

Grass dancing was birthed from young men of the plains nations stomping down tall prairie grasses to prepare the site of a new village or site for ceremonies. Today’s Grass Dancers try to dance as smooth as possible as if they are those long prairie grasses blowing in the wind. For that kind of controlled movement, these Grass Dancers must be fit and strong. This sometimes results in some fantastic movements leaving you wondering, “How did he do that?!”

This style is known as one of the medicine dances. The fluid swaying motions represent a sense of balance with the natural order of creation. Grass Dancers are taught that the motions they do on one foot, they must do with the other foot. It is that intentional act of balanced footwork that makes the Grass Dance so spectacular to watch.

Fancy Dancers Men’s Fancy Feather

This is the kind of pow wow dancing that spectators love. It is fast and furious. Dancers must be in top physical condition to execute the tricky footwork and acrobatic movements that make this style so exciting to watch. It’s not uncommon to see Fancy Feather dancers do cartwheels, backflips and splits in competitive dancing.

This dance is one of the more recent additions to pow-wow traditions. It is believed to have originated from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows where young men would dance hard and fast to impress the crowds. Fancy Dancers are usually called on to perform Sneak-Up or Trick Songs. These extremely fast songs ruffle the drum beat while dancers twirl about, followed by fast sections with sudden stops. It is always exciting to see the dancers interpret what the drum is doing and to see them all stay in time with the beat and stop on time. You definitely don’t want to miss this category!

Women’s Jingle

This healing dance comes from the Anishinabek people of Whitefish Bay where a young girl was gravely ill. One of the men received a dream where he saw the dresses, songs and dances that needed to be done for her. Women in the community made the dresses, drummers learned the song and some women were shown the steps to carry out what was given in the dream. As the dancers went around this young girl she started to recover and by the end of the night she was healed and up dancing with the women.

Today there are two kinds of competitive Jingle Dances; contemporary and old style.

Contemporary dancers use complex but gentle footwork making the dance look effortless. They wear soft eagle plumes in their hair and raise eagle tail fans during honour beats to ‘lift up’ the prayers of the people.

Old style jingle dancers don’t wear eagle feathers or sparkly materials to pay respect to the original intention of the dance.

Women’s Fancy Shawl

There are two stories behind the Fancy Shawl Dance. One story says that the dance represents a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. While that is a poetically beautiful legend, most dancers agree that the Fancy Shawl dance grew from the Men’s Fancy style. Women in the 1950’s wanted to mimic the quick and complex footwork of the men, and thus a more feminine version was born utilizing a shawl instead of feather bustles.

Like Jingle, there are Contemporary and Old Style Fancy Shawl dancers. Contemporary shawl dancers are spinning, kicking, twirling, leaping and traveling as fast and as furious as the men’s fancy dancers, but light on their feet. The goal is to look as if you are floating about the dance arena and barely ever touch the ground. Old style dancers are still quick on their feet, but there is usually less spinning involved. The focus is to marry intricate footwork with smooth shawling to make for a seamless performance.

Elected council offers $7,000 to Great Law Recital

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Elected Band Council decided at Tuesday night’s general meeting to donate $7,000 towards the Great Law Recital being held on the territory in August.

Marlene Doxtator, co-ordinator of the group bringing the recital to the community, approached elected council July 19th and asked if they would be willing to offer monetary support in any amount towards the recital.

“I’m here requesting financial support,” she said. “Can council support in some way, anything that would help us meet our budget.”

This will be the fourth year that this specific group of individuals has put on the Great Law Recital. Having already been held in Oneida, Onondaga and Akwesasne — this is the first year that this group will be holding it on Six Nations territory — other groups have held

mittee is expecting to see close to 1,000 people out to the recital and extra money will be needed to supply food for the guests and to rent the tent, tables and chairs, totalling just more than $7,000.

It was brought to Elected Council’s attention that the Confederacy has donated close to $17,000 — so Councillor Sherri-Lyn Hill Pierce put forward that Band Council match that number.

The financial director explained that there is only $20,000 left in the OFNLP fund and that it would be wise to make sure that that money lasts until the end of the year.

Hill-Pierce then put forward that Elected Council donates $7,000 and the motion was carried.

Doxtator said it is important for the Great Law Recital to take place here because she has been watching how different groups within the community have been inter-

acting with each other as of late and that it hasn’t been going very good.

“Reciting the Great Law here with the original teachings may help bring some order to the circumstances that have

causing trouble in the community,” she said, not making any references to anything particular.

“It won’t solve all of our problems, but at least it’s a start.”

Election Code discussed at general meeting

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – At Tuesday night’s Elected Council general meeting, Dorothy Russell-Patterson, an electoral officer for Six Nations, was asked to come discuss some possible changes to the election code.

She brought forward several different topics that she said she has heard the community

talking about in terms of how elections on the committee should be handled — with one of them being that districts should be removed entirely from the process and that the community should vote for the top 12 candidates that they feel would represent the community best. It was suggested that councillors go to their districts and ask for the community’s opinion on the matter

before a vote would be held.

After some discussion, elected Chief Ava Hill suggested that Patterson organize community meetings and gather the community’s thought and opinions through those.

“The best thing to do is to organize community meetings and get the community’s input and then go through the proper administration,” said Ava.

An in depth Pokemon GO review by Frank Douglas

By Frank Douglas Butler I'm sure by now you've heard of the craze, some people loving, some hating and some not understanding Pokemon GO; that’s what I'm here for — to help shed some light on this revolutionary game.

So right out the front door I want to say, this feeling, the vintage, the nostalgia, it all feels exactly the way it did in '96 when Pokemon red and blue released. The energy you get finding the Pokemon you want, the stress you get when the ball shakes two times and you’re waiting on your third, and of course the feeling of defeat when your friend, rival or gym leader disposes of you.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, in the original games you wandered vast regions in search of all 151 — now more than 500 — Pokemon, all eight gym badges and of course the title of Pokemon master. When you throw a pokeball (the item used to catch wild Pokemon) it will shake three times, sometimes shaking once and breaking free.

The huge difference with Pokemon GO is instead of sitting in your

walking around finding their desired Pokemon.

Downtown is a whole other level, everyone shouting to one another, sitting together, laughing and having a great time.

It's just like when Pokemon started.

Now I do understand there have been people not paying attention to their surroundings and that has

jaded some people's opinions including my own fathers, who claims its "stupid and another reason for people to look at their phones."

In defence of Pokemon Go it does state on the loading screen to "pay attention to your surroundings" other than this minuscule and totally controllable problem I give the revolu-

tionary game Pokemon Go a very close 8/10.

For all other info and gameplay visit Pokemon Go on the App Store on your smartphone and begin to catch em all!

Also shoutout to my fellow trainers Xvvixr and BrandonMooreSk8 I've seen them pull some rares and are definitely on their way to catching them all.

living room on your Nintendo getting yelled at by your parents to go outdoors and play, you are forced to go out and use the GPS location services on your smartphone and you literally have to go out in your city and find these Pokemon.

Yes, I sweat almost every day.

I’m skating around finding Pokemon and stopping at Pokestops on my way to work. Pokemon gyms usually landmarks around your area take some getting used to and for best results teamwork as your prompted to join one of three teams early in the game.

Pokestops are usually any for example churches and landmarks in your city, they provide free items and "refresh" every five minutes to provide almost everything necessary to play the game.

Overall I love the game.

It feels like I'm a kid again but at the same time I'm being active, and I get to teach my daughter who Pokemon are. The biggest thing for me is how many great people, I mean trainers, I have met.

Almost every pokestop I go to has a mass of trainers. This past weekend my spot had three carloads of people sitting and playing and two groups on foot

Melania versus Michelle - who said it better?

A video comparing a speech Donald Trump’s wife Melania made at the Republican National Convention with a speech Michelle Obama made in 2008 is stirring the internet this week. Mrs. Trump reads the speech with a heavy Russian accent that match portions of Michelle’s speech word for word — and people instantly noticed.

The Republican camp is denying accusations of plagiarism but CNN reported that Trump was “furious” about the speech and some have speculated that whoever wrote the speech will be fired. Millions are silently watching and eating popcorn.

Taylor responded saying she didn’t okay that specific B-word would be in the song and feels betrayed.

Arrows win appeal, returned to first place

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The wait is over for the Six Nations Jr. A Arrows and now they know who it is they will face in the OLA Quarterfinals. It will be the St. Catharines Athletics who finished eighth overall in the regular season that concluded last Wednesday.

The defending Minto Cup national champs for the past two years, the Arrows finished first after successfully appealing a four game forfeit, which put them out of first place.

They have be reinstated by the league after unknowingly being involved in a player’s eligibility scandal involving the London Jr. B Blue Devils, the Six Nations Rebels and the Arrows. The Devils dealt a player to the Rebels who was called up to the Arrows for five games. As it turns out, the Devils did

not own the rights to the player in the first place and tried to get league transfer money from the Rebels organization after their season ended.

Four of the five games Oliver Bolsterli appeared in as an Arrow were initially forfeited by order of the league even though he did not contribute a point and had little floor time with the Arrows.

The league reversed the decision after the Arrows appealed restoring their first place finish and home floor advantage.

“There will be the perception that the Arrows cheated, but they did not,” Commissioner McLeod said of the incident.

Following the restoration of forfeited games, the Arrows season record was restored to 17-3-0 for first place and playoff home floor advantage.

With things being put

back in order, the playoff schedule was completed and the Arrows open their quarterfinal round Monday, July 18th at the ILA in Six Nations at 8 p.m. against the Athletics. Game 2 is at the Jack Gatecliff Rink in St. Kitts Wednesday July 20 with Game 3 returning to the ILA Thursday, July 21st. Game 3 will be back in St. Kitts July 22, if necessary and if there is a Game 5 it will be at the ILA Sunday, July 24th at 7 p.m.

TOP: After being docked four games by the league for an incident hey had no part in the Jr. A Arrows appealed and won. As a result, the Arrows have been restored to first place and home floor advantage throughout the playoffs. The incident involved a Jr. B London Blue Devils player dealt to the Six Nations Warriors and then moved up to the Arrows.

The problem was, London never owned his rights in the first place.

Arrows: setting the bar high for the 'A' division

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – With mutters heard in the stands about the Arrows being the 'team to play,' the Arrows had no problem showing the St. Catharines Athletics why they've become the 'team to beat,' as they throttled them 14-6 on the evening of Monday, July 18.

It wasn't long into the first period that the Arrows started earning ground on offence and scaring the Athletics on defence. The Arrows defence worked ball carriers incredibly hard and took away passing options by maintaining stick control and interception position.

All the Athletics could do in the first period was hope to catch a break away or shoot immediately upon earning possession.

This transitioned well on offence for the Arrows, as Chris Cloutier and Owen MacDonald scored the first two, and Austin Staats scored another two consecutively in less than a minute. But, to top off their assault on the Athletics goalie, Captain Brendan

Although no goals came from Tehoka Nanticoke, it is fair to mention that during the Iroquois Nationals, he was recognized and awarded World Team Attack, and Best Attack Player of the tournament. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN Bomberry scored a hattrick and one extra in five minutes, making the score 8-3 by the end of the peri-

od.

For the second period, the same type of play continued with the Arrows

completely controlling the game. By using aggressive defence they made it hard for the Athletics to even

want the ball, but they were able to score a couple of power play goals as the Arrows defensemen were

geville Northmen.

With their full-grown and experienced team, the Northmen quickly racked up three goals halfway into the first period. Their offensive power came from their speed and sturdy cutters that would power through and receive passes to side arm passed the Rebels goalie. This set a nervous precedent for the next period for the Rebels.

But, within a minute into the second period Kevin Owen Hill received a

pass from Captain Danton Miller and fed it into the net; however, the rest of the period was dry for the Rebels as they didn't seem to connect on passing with the Northmen pressuring hard with man-on-man defence. The turn overs the Northmen received with their hard defence earned them two more goals by the end of the second.

During the third period; however, the Rebels upped their defensive game and made sure the Northmen

had to stick to outside shots. This turned the game in their favour as the Northmen seemed to lose a lot of gusto, and gave the Rebels an energetic advantage.

Jeremy Bomberry fought to get to the net and scored after a pass from Kevin Owen Hill and about five minutes later, Chayton King shot from the top right and scored on the Northmen goalies stick side.

But, the rest of the pe-

riod seemed to race by as both teams would gain possession, run it up, shoot and switch to defence only to start the cycle over again. After a couple of nice try's by by Miller and some shots that could have snuck inside the net, it was obvious the Rebels had been led to defeat.

Watching the Northmen celebrate early on with two minutes left in the game would probably make anyone wish the Rebels could pull it together to bring

a little too aggressive and earned some penalties.

This still didn't stop the Arrows from continuing their roll on offence however, as MacDonald earned himself a hat-trick with two more goals and another for Bomberry. This was when many spectators seemed to lose interest as the Arrows were making the Athletics look like they couldn't keep up. By the end of period, MacDonald rushed by the net and scored his third, and so did Cloutier.

But, the Arrows seemed to ease up on the gas in the third period, scoring a quick goal early in the period. It was almost as if the Arrows got bored with the game and wanted the Athletics to make it interesting. However, the Athletics simply did not have the offensive power to catch up to the Arrows lead by much; scoring only two in the third.

This made the game 14-6 by the end, and the Arrows walked off the floor with their heads high.

Rebels miss their chance at Founders Cup

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – With newer and younger players; Rebels fans have known that this season was a lot tougher than previous years, with many other competitive teams holding onto players nearing their end of the junior division.

So, it wasn't too much of a heart breaker that the Rebels lost their chance at the Founders Cup on Friday, July 15 versus their long time rivals, the Oran-

the game to a tie. But, the buzzer went with the score at 5-3 for the Northmen.

Still showing sportsmanship, the Rebels shook hands as spectators left the building disappointed.

But, not to worry. The talent within the Rebels is obvious, it's just that a lot of the talent is new to the division. Any fan knows that they can only get better in coming seasons.

Jr. C Warriors fall to the Wild

By Jim Windle

With the Six Nations Jr. C Warriors and the powerhouse Six Nations Jr. B Rebels both being deposed in the early round of OLA Jr. lacrosse playoffs, all eyes now fall on the Jr. A Arrows, Sr. B Rivermen and the Major Series Chiefs to carry the torch for Six Nations.

After defeating the Oakville Buzz in the quarterfinal, they took on the Wilmot Wild in the semi’s. After losing Game 1, 148, in Wilmot, the Warriors came back with an 18-10 win at the Caledonia Arena July 12th. It was back to Wilmot for Game 3 which the Wild won, 19-13 making Saturday night’s game home game a must win to stay alive.

The Warriors and Wild played to a 3-3 first period tie with Kahn General, Sid Powless and Wesley Whitlow scoring for Six Nations.

The game was virtually lost in the second period when the Warriors defence completely and unexpectedly collapsed.

Fortunately their offence was

still finding some success at the other end of the floor. The Warriors scored five, but the Wild found twine behind Nick Martin in the Six Nations net eight times to end the second period 11-8 for Wilmot. Khan General and Daniel Henhawk scored two late second period goals in the last minute of the period to keep the Warriors within striking distance of the Wild with 20 minutes left to play.

Wilmot grabbed the first three goals of the third before Daniel Henhawk score the first of four third period goals, but even his stellar efforts were not enough to save the game. Sid Powless also added a goal but the Wild was also finding success around the Six Nations goal and in the end, the Wild took the best-of-five series three games to one with the 17-13 Game #4 Wilmot win.

Any time you score a dozen or more goals you should win, but on this night, the Warriors could not shut down Wilmot shooters.

The Warriors moved on but ran into a strong Wilmot Wild losing three games to one to end the Warriors' season. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Chiefs stumble through week’s schedule

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – In two midweek games last week the Chiefs were only able to squeeze out one point by way of a 6-6 tie game Tuesday night at the ILA against the Peterborough Lakers.

On Wednesday, July 13, two late goals scored a minute and a half apart turned out to be difference as the Lakers kept their first place standing firm well ahead of second place Oakville and the third place Chiefs, who are one point behind. Brooklin sits one point behind the Chiefs in fourth spot. Brampton and Cobourg are well out of the race but could play the spoiler as the regular season draws to a close.

Tuesday, July 12, at the ILA, the Chiefs and Lakers put on a great show as the perennial enemies seesawed the lead back and forth all night.

Ryan Benesch scored first from Cody Jamieson but the Lakers had the last say with goals by Holden Cattoni and Cory Vittarelli to give Peterborough a 2-1

lead.

They traded goals throughout the second period with Vaughn Harris, Benesch and Jamieson accounting for the Chiefs goals and Cattoni, Chad

Culp and Brad Self scored for the Lakers who held a 5-4 second period lead.

Stephen Keogh tied the game at 1:17 but Shawn Evans answered at 5:50.

Randy Staats sent the game

into OT where nothing was decided and the teams split the tie.

The Chiefs will try to remount the charge Tuesday, July 19th against Oakville at the ILA in a game that

will miss our deadline.

Thursday, July 21st, the Chiefs are in Peterborough to try and gain ground on the League Leaders.

Iroquois Nationals take Bronze in U-19 again

By Jim Windle COQUITLAM B.C. – The Iroquois Nationals returned from Coquitlam B.C. with the Bronze Medal once again this year at the FIL U-19 World Championships, finishing third behind Canada and Tournament winners, the USA. The I-Nats defeated Australia 20-8 for the a third Bronze Medal finish in as many tournaments.

Mitch Laffin of the Onondaga Nation led the way for the Iroquois Nationals scoring six goals and adding three assists en route to a 20-8 victory over Australia.

Austin Staats scored three and assisted on three while Tehoka Nanticoke was held to two goals and an assist.

The power of this year’s I-Nats was clearly centred on two Six Nations players, Tehoka Nanticoke and Austin Staats, both of whom were selected for Team World all-stars.

Nanticoke also won MVP honours for position play-

It was a bronze medal again this year at the World U-19 Championships behind tournament winners Team USA and silver medalists, Team Canada. SUBMITTED PHOTO ers.

Staats finished the tournament with 22 goals, 14 assists for 36 points to lead the I-Nats in scoring.

He was followed by Nanticoke with 22 goals and 9 assists for 31 points.

The Nationals came close to upsetting Canada earlier, but let a lead slip away late in the game.

The Iroquois held Team Canada to a 1-1 first quarter tie with Staats providing the Nationals’ goal and

Tanner Cook scoring for Canada.

Canada pulled ahead 4-1 early in the second frame but an explosion of five Iroquois goals ended the half with the I-Nats leading Canada 6-4 with

goals scored by Sekawnee Baker of the Squamish First Nation, Staats of Six Nations, Skye Sunday of the Mohawk Nation, and two by Nanticoke of Six Nations.

Following the half-time

intermission, the I-Nats continued to press the Canadians. After Trent Laclair scored for Canada, Doug Jamieson and Nanticoke scored to build an 8-5 lead. Canada’s Ryan Lanchbury made it 8-6 before Nanticoke struck again with his fourth goal for a 9-6, I-Nats lead.

Canada then strung together the next four goals of the quarter to take a 10-9 third quarter lead.

Canada continued, scoring three more to start the final quarter and take a 13-9 lead. I-Nats’ Devon Buckshot broke the string at 13:45, but Canada answered. Mitch Laffin scored unassisted for the last goal of the game at 18:56 for a 14-11 Canadian win.

In games played earlier, Wednesday July 13th, the I-Nats pounded Ireland 22-5, and Australia 16-5.

The USA powered over the I-Nats 17-3, and Canada won 12-9. The Nationals won over England 22-4 in the Iroquois first matchup of the tournament.

Iconic Chip Stand comes to Six Nations

The original Stan's Fries chip wagon stood on the corner of Dalhousie and Market streets where the Brantford Market Square and Old City Hall once stood. There have been lineups for Stan's Fries ever since. Stan's Famous Fries are now available at Kanata Gas and Convenience on Highway #54. Submitted Photo

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Is it that distinctive smell of cider vinegar, salt and fried potatoes that has kept generations of customers coming back, or is it a deeply imbedded cultural thing only significant to those who have frequented Brantford’s downtown core or grew up in Brantford since 1950.

That is when Albert Wawzonek opened his first Chip Wagon on the site of the old Market Square. It was passed to his son Stan and now to daughter Barbara who now owns and operates the business.

Since 1950, Brantford and Stan’s Fries have become synonymous with each other. Anyone who grew up in Brantford or frequented downtown Brantford a lot, after they have moved away and come back to visit family immediately go and get a box of fries from Stan’s before all else.

‘We hear that story a lot,” laughs Wawzonek.

Now, Stan’s has brought that wonderful smell and great tasting fries to Six Nations at the Kanata Gas Bar on Highway 54.

The legend began in the ‘50s when Wawzonek and Peter Ivonovic were each granted permission by City Hall to set up semi-permanent (but easily removable) chip trucks at the corners of Market and Dalhousie and Market and Colborne as well as George and Dalhousie Streets, despite complaints by area restaurateurs who felt the chip wagons had an unfair advantage.

“Come to think about it, I think we were the first fast food take out in Brantford,” says Barbara. “There was no McDonalds or anything like that then.”

There was more than enough walk-up business to go around every day, but especially on market day, and there was great co-operation between the chippies. At one point there were

three similar wagons at the Market Square, the third run by George Seitz in the 1970s.

“I remember we would borrow supplies from each other if we ran out,” she recalls. “We would even rotate locations from time to time.”

They would co-ordinate days off to ensure there was always a wagon operating at the Market Square and so each operator could have a day off at some point.

By the time the city sold the Market Square and closed Market Street to make room for a mall, Ivonovic had retired.

Stan’s moved across from the Sanderson Centre, which is now Harmony Square, when it was a parking lot. George’s moved to a spot just off of Queen Street and Stan began to grow his business.

At one point he had four locations around town. When Harmony Square was build, Stan’s had to move again, securing a spot at the Bus Terminal on Darling Street near the Court House.

In the early 1980s Stan put up

Barbara Wawzonek is the third generation of Stan's Fries originator, Albert and his son Stan and carries on the family tradition without altering that iconic taste that people have been lining up for since 1950. She and Kanata Gas Bar owner Steve Montour come together to bring that tradition to Six Nations. Photo by Jim Windle a wagon at the former Towers Plaza, now Toys “R” Us/Zehrs plaza in the north end which has remained a busy stop for north end shoppers ever since.

One might ask, when chip wagons are everywhere, what makes Stan’s Fries so unique?

“It’s a formula that hasn’t changed since my grandfather started out,” Barbara quickly

that simple formula produces.

Barbara religiously keeps that tradition alive for a new generation.

“You will never see ketchup at a Stan’s Fries wagon,” Barbara proudly declares. “We have even lost customers who insist there be ketchup. I have seen some people bring their own ketchup.”

But like a great chef cringes

answers. “Fresh cut potatoes, grown locally, fried in pure lard, and doused with lots of salt and cider vinegar. That’s it, that’s all.”

To the calorie conscious, that might not seem a great combination, but as Barbara points out, there are no trans fats in pure lard, only fats that your body is used to processing. Cider vinegar is also a known fat cutter, so it isn’t as bad as it might seem but you cannot deny the taste

when someone asks for stake sauce with their New York sirloin steak, so Barbara does when people want to mess with the “Best Tasting Fries in Canada,” as once voted in a national survey.

Over the years, there have been several requests by customers to put a Stan’s Fries wagon in their town, but Barbara and her forefathers have steadfastly refused. That is, until Barbara got a message from Six

Nations businessman, and Stan’s fan, Steve Montour who was building the Kanata Gas Bar, Car Wash, Variety/Grocery store on Highway 54 at the time.

Montour, contacted Barbara to suggest she bring Stan’s Fries to the reserve. Through negotiations, it was decided that the Six Nations Wagon would be called Kanata Foods “featuring” Stan’s Famous Fries, since this wagon also serves other fast food items besides fries only.

“That was a bit of a compromise for me,” she admits. “But we were able to work all that out so the fries and the name stayed unaltered, like I promised my dad.”

Montour’s invitation made sense to her because of the relationship that has already developed between Stan’s Fries and generations of Six Nations customers over the years and generations.

“We have always had a strong Six Nations clientele,” says Barbara, who grew up working with her father as a young girl since 1970s learning the Stan’s way of presenting the humble French fry, as taught by his father before him. “It just made sense to me.”

Wawzonek believes that Brantford and Stan’s Fries are inseparable after being such a memorable part of growing up in the telephone, Wayne Gretzky, and Stan’s Fries city, and now also available at Six Nations.

Just as a side note: Barbara’s father Stan Wawzonek was instrumental in starting the “Thank-a-Vet” program, which has since spread across Canada.

Twice he bicycled across Canada with the Thank-a-Vet message.

He has since passed away.

Birth Announcement

I just turned one on July 25th My birth day was awesome last year, I made my mom get up early and for some reason she just wanted to clean at 5:00am. HA! I totally through a monkey wrench in her plans that day……I knew my sister Brooklyn had lacrosse provincials that weekend but I didn’t care, I wanted out !! I wanted to see everyone!! So I woke my mom and then I really poured on the kicks and nudges at 7:00am, we woke up my other sister Ash and well…. She rubbed my mom’s back and done everything she could but my mom stayed crabby and of course I was really jumping around in her belly now… I could hear everyone getting ready to leave for the games on Oakville but once again … I wanted out!, so thankfully my mom packed her back and walked out the door to head to the Birthing Centre, silly dad asked her “where you going?”, my mom growled and kept walking lol. …So Ash was called upon to drive us to the centre and my other sister Kailyn came along too. So were all racing down the road and dad calls, he asked if the chairs and coolers were in the truck!? Lol…. mom just hollered “COME F%*& GET THEM”. I was laughing inside my mom’s belly, I could hear all the commotion, even mom yelling at Ash to drive FASTER and go easy on her breaks LOL! Next thing I know I was all comfy and all the sounds were echoing around me, turns out my mom was in a tub full of water relaxing, so I decided right then and there “its my time to shine, here I come”. I came out swimming and my sister Ash cut my cord, Kailyn was in shock I think because she didn’t talk, Dad came in the room just seconds after the cut was made. After all that, Brooklyn made her game on time (thanks to Gram and Moe).

Our birthing partner/cousin Shina missed my big day cause she is the coach for the lacrosse team lol.

What’s my name? ohhh you want the details now?

Ok. I was born at 9:11am and I was 10lbs 2oz and I looked just like my mom for a quick minute. My name was picked before I was born, the name is to honour and pay tribute to my dad’s best friend who passed on years before I decided to come, his name is Allan Wayne Martin, and mom decided to use her uncle’s name, whom she lost when she was a little girl – apparently he taught her to swear too, his name was Dwight Alexander Hill. So my full name is Allan Oakley Dwight Hill - Oakley is cause of Oak trees, they’re big and strong. Am the youngest of 5, I have 3 sisters and one Bro. Ash, Brooklyn and Kailyn and of course my big brother Marv’, he requested me! So here I am I couldn’t just leave him with a house full a women his whole life.
