TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Police say a man was struck by a car and killed over the weekend while walking down Chiefswood Road. Six Nations Police say 25-year-old Taylor King of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation was walking southbound down Chiefswood Road in
the early morning hours of August 12. King was struck by a black Chevrolet Impala also heading south sometime before 3:30 a.m. Police said King was taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Six Nations Police said in a statement a 26-yearold driver was operating the car that struck and killed King. They did not release the name or gender of the driver and
say that speed and alcohol were not factors in the collision. Police said they did not lay charges against the driver. Editor's Note: Two Row Times would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Tay King. Tay was previously a member of the TRT Distribution Team and a well liked member of the team. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Inconsistent details follow claim Haudenosaunee Development Institute dissolved STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Last week, local reporting claimed the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council formally dissolved the Haudenosaunee Development Institute. The report which appeared in a local Six Nations newspaper — the Turtle Island News — claims the HCCC fired HDI Executive Director Hazel Hill and was working to dissolve HDI’s
Board of Directors and review the contracts of two other employees lawyer Aaron Detlor and Brian Doolittle. In an exclusive interview with the Two Row Times, HDI’s Director Hazel Hill says she has not received an official statement from council releasing her of her duties, only gossip and a link to an article the Turtle Island News shared on Facebook. “They put it up on Facebook and they were told specifically not to,” says Hill.

“They didn’t even give me the respect of telling me I’m fired, and that’s what hurts.” Local reporting claims HDI has been imploding for some time. However, Hill says she believes the disruption began after a wage dispute arose between herself and TIN publisher Lynda Powless, who was acting as the HDI’s media liaison. Hill detailed that dispute in her May 2018 HDI report to the Chiefs and Clanmothers, which has since been removed from the HCCC’s website. In her report, Hill alleges Powless was in a conflict of interest and politically interfering by pressuring ex-husband and Mohawk Chief Allan MacNaughton to end work with an Ottawa lobbying firm — The Daisy Group. Hill says that interference was “discrediting and dishonouring the Royane and Yakoyane” who were working to build alliances in Ottawa between the federal government and the HCCC via the Daisy Group. Hill wrote in her report part of the problems with Powless stemmed from a wage dispute. Hill estimates Powless earned somewhere under the $200,000 mark annually since she started as media advisor to the HDI. The latest audit shows around $18,000 spent on HDI advertising — much of it spent in the Turtle Island News. Hill also says local reporting by Powless that HDI is dissolved is untrue — and claims the narrative is being pushed in order to sully her reputation in the community.
“My question is, when they say the board has been dissolved and they want to review contracts. At a meeting, July 31st, I explained that you can’t take a personal contracts into a public forum, you just can’t do it. It is a breach of confidentiality.” Two Row Times spoke with Onondaga Chief Arnold Jacobs and he confirmed that HDI is not dissolved — but is being restructured and, according to Jacobs, will likely have a new name. “I made a mistake. I hired someone with a clear conflict of interest and out for personal gain. And I admit it,” said Hill. “But now the wrath is upon me because I dared to say it in public.” Regarding that public report — Hill says that she stands by every word. That 16 page document was laden with a long and complicated conspiracy alleging several community factions were working together with foreign powers — including NASA via the US Government and the Pope — to undermine Haudenosaunee Sovereignty. In June, one of those named in the report, lawyer Paul Williams sent a letter to HCCC Secretary Leroy “Jock” Hill demanding an apology and saying the report “attacks my actions, my intentions and my reputation.” In his letter, obtained by TRT, Williams says members of HDI routinely slandered him during Council meetings and that no one stood up to stop it. Williams wrote: “I require an apology from the Council and from the individual members of the
Haudenosaunee Development Institute. I require more than that: you need to act to ensure that neither I nor anyone else is attacked and injured in this way, ever again. This malicious, untruthful, ugly behaviour also injures the council and its reputation. It has gone on long enough.” Williams letter insists the comments in the Hill’s report were damaging to his reputation. “The allegation that I am willing to “compromise and jeopardize our Confederacy” is deeply insulting and untrue.” Williams says that the assertion that he’s been removed from working with the HCCC is also untrue. “I have never been removed from the Council, or from providing legal advice. I remain a member of the Haudenosaunee Documentation Committee; the Haudenosaunee Standing Committee on Burials and Burial Regulation; and the External Relations committee. The decision to remove me from the negotiations over the reclaimed lands in Caledonia was made only by Allan MacNaughton, and he has since expressed regret over doing so.” Williams ended his letter by asserting that if he is not given the apologies he has requested — and if no HCCC action was taken to ensure attacks on his character were halted that he would be forced to sue. According to local reporting one Mohawk chief verbally apologized at the August HCCC meeting to those in attendance — however that has not
independently been confirmed by TRT. Hill expressed her regrets about the current direction of HDI and reflected on what she would have done differently in hindsight. “I think we should have started working with the Clanmothers a little sooner on rebuilding their Nation relationship with their clan families,” she reflects. “We talked about it lots of times and it took some time to do it, but we finally did it through Gloria Thomas, with that “Strengthening the House” program. That program brought Chiefs and Clanmothers together to talk about roles and responsibilities.” Hill says if another HDIlike entity emerges they need to find better ways of communication with the people they are to represent to keep them abreast and involved. “Every one of us has to take some responsibility here,” she says. “We can’t rely on the media and social media to be our voice. It has to be human-human. So the Clanmothers and the Chiefs have to learn how to talk to their clan families again. The people have to feel free and comfortable to say, ‘hey, what’s happening in council today’ and that has not been happening for a very, very, very long time now.” “Just because I am no longer representing the Confederacy, I am not going to stop fighting for our people,” says Hill. “I wish the confederacy well. I will be supporting in ways that I do from my own understanding.”

Tiny house, big community Thinking smaller may help solve reserve housing crisis CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations stands as the largest Indigenous reserve in Canada with over 20,000 registered members, which grows every year. However, the land base remains at 71 square miles. While housing crises climb within smaller reserves with high birth rates and low housing availability, some have concluded that smaller and compacted houses called tiny houses could be the solution. And as the housing market and financial crises are something many struggle with today, the cost of a tiny house is a far cry from a housing loan, with the most affordable tiny houses being just under or just above $20,000. With their compact construct and affordability, tiny houses have become a plausible choice for many, even Six Nations own Yotakahron Christa Jonathan, who hopes to continue her education rent free. “I talked to my family about building a tiny house and I said ‘it would be so cool to build one of those,’ especially since I’m a single person and I don’t really need a huge house or anything,” said Jonathan. After evaluating the lump sum of rent she would be paying for the next five years while she finishes her education
as a medical student which will reach a high $200,000, Jonathan opted for a more non-conventional and less pricey solution. She made the decision back in December and construction began in February and the project has since brought her closer to her male family members. Her design stands at 240 inches by 100 inches and the frame was constructed with steel under the hands of her relatives. “My uncles, my stepdad and his friends all helped,” she said. “It’s been a blessing to have a lot of people wanting to help and they’ve been working on it on their time off.” In general, tiny homes are more environmentally friendly and the constricted space forces owners to reduce their possessions and more often than not, use less power. Jonathan even decided to have solar panels in the electrical plan of her soon-to-be home. “I designed the whole thing,” she said. “There are computer programs that can help you but I wasn’t patient enough for those. I just grabbed a paper and a pencil and drew six different drafts, or blue prints of what I wanted it to look like. Even now we’re tweaking bits and pieces of it.” Jonathan noted that every foot and inch of the house has been thought out, as the smaller space called for wiser use. She also included that she will soon be changing her life-
style to match her home. “You don’t really realize how much stuff you have,” she said. “So along with planning and building this I have to go through all of my stuff. Like I don’t need 10 sweaters, so I’ll cut down to three.” Jonathan has documented the journey of investing in and building her tiny home on instagram under the handle @nikanonhsaa — which translates to “a small house” in the Mohawk language.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
Asbestos EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW I mostly went to #8 School growing up in the 1980s on Six Nations so I was relieved when my parents sent me to #3 school after the asbestos crisis. In ancient times before the mega schools were built we had numbered schools from 1-12 sprinkled throughout the concessions. Now they are mostly parks. Mohawk Road was entirely gravel back then so cars travelling by passed much slower and kicked up way more dust. Maybe that was one of the reasons why buses didn’t travel down my stretch of road. Except for Kindergarten, I had to walk half a concession up to 1st Line to catch a school bus. All that ended the year Six Nations schools were shut down for asbestos. Yep asbestos, the same cancer causing product that U.S. President Trump is bringing back into fashion for Fall 2018. According to local historian Wilma Green, Six Nations of the Grand River began inspection of all schools on the territory in August of 1989 — suspecting asbestos in the schoolhouses that scattered the reserve. That suspicion was confirmed, the schools shut down through to November of that year as the substance was removed. Nicknamed “the asbestos crisis”, students were given work packages to complete at home and
make-shift schools were set up in local fire halls and churches. But back in the late 80’s in response to the Six Nations asbestos crisis, a little Garlow named Jonathan was sent up north to Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory for half a school year. Attending the Bay of Quinte Elementary school was awesome because it was the first time I felt safe from bullying. Everyone was extra friendly to me (the quiet and nerdy visitor) and it was like an oasis, a respite from the constant physical assault and psychological torment that I had grown accustomed to from a segment of Six Nations students and teachers. Although the wounds of my past are still healing I will choose to dwell on the good. I still think fondly of the Tyendinaga people and the school system there. They really take their planting and gardening to the next level. Nia:weh to Deanna and Ronald Brant, those guys are the very best. Something horrible happened that allowed me to experience something great. In 2006 I videotaped a unified Six Nations removing illegal O.P.P. officers from our land. Maybe they existed at the time but I wasn’t aware of any factions, it seemed like everyone was helping one another. Even Christian and
Longhouse people were cooperating so I thought anything was possible at the time. Canada started paying for negotiations and once their cash started to f low in I think it ruined the spirit of everything that our people had fought so hard for. We were fighting for justice and for our ancestors, not for money or for corporations. Now it seems like we are fighting each other. We are doing to our own people exactly what the Canadian government did to us and it isn’t right. Some people think that deleting the Elected Council is the answer but without a better plan in place I think demolishing the admin building would just make everything worse. Look at the collapse of HDI right now and imagine if that was our entire government. So hate it or love it, the Elected Council to our Nations is like a bionic implant that was engrafted by evil colonial engineers – yes, maybe it should be removed but we can’t just rip it out easy-peasy without doing collateral damage. Don’t get mad at me for saying the truth.
Looking for help after dog attacks
SIX NATIONS — Norma VanEvery is a pet lover and has had to endure the brutal mutilations of two of her animals and the dismemberment of a cat in a cage by a band of rez-dogs that roam her River Range neighbourhood. When concerns and complaints made to council and elsewhere were not being dealt with, in her opinion, she decided to go public and wonders if anyone else along River Range, 7th Line Road have had any similar issues. In a letter sent to Six Nations Police Services, Elected Band Council Six Nations Animal Control regarding the death of her pets which reads: On February 5, 2018, a pack of dogs came onto my property and killed my Collie. On July 30, 2018, a pack of about 8 dogs came onto my property and killed another of our dogs. A cage was put out (by the animal control) to catch a stray cat and when a cat entered the cage the pack of dogs killed the cat in the cage and dragged the cage toward the road. The 3 vicious deaths of the animals has happened within the last 6 months. I have 16 cameras covering the outside of my home and I have video that shows the vicious killer dogs. What can you do to help? The first time the dogs attacked my Collie it cost
$1,200 in vet fees to save her. The uncontrolled vicious dog pack came back and killed her on February 5. Shouldn't the vet fees be the responsibility of the dog pack owners? There should be a rule that makes a dog owner liable for the actions of their dogs. Another rule should state that all dogs be confined to their owner’s property. Shouldn't these vicious killer dogs be put down? This community has young children who are at risk of attack by these dogs. Can you speed up the process of finding the killer dogs and put them down before a child gets attacked? School will be back in session soon which means possibly more dog attacks. I was waiting for my Grandson to get off the bus in May of this year and a Rottweiler type dog came charging at him, he screamed and ran past me and when the dog seen me he stopped. My home is protected by a fence and two gates and the dogs still come in. How do I protect my family and animals from this vicious pack of dogs? How will you protect the community? Thank you for all your help in advance, Yours truly, N. Van Every

Grassroots movement needed to counter Ottawa's virus of greed Mu WÎyan Î’uch:
Thunder Woman Speaks By Rachel A. Snow
The Federal department called the Assembly of First Nations seeks to throw out all existing documentation of First Nations sovereignty. Historic leadership and nations from the Eastern door to the western shores have held that the land is sacred, lent and occupied by the original First Nations who greeted and assisted lost colonial settlers. Federal and provincial governments have tried to take away rights or land and their list continues, whether it is the historic smallpox blankets or by killing off buffalo, or by restricting hunting or fishing, or by breaking families with the forced removal of children. The list continues with modern day termination giving up rights treaties, or legislation like the First Nation Land Management Act, or the upcoming Recognition and Implementation of Rights Act. The genocidal tool of smallpox inserted a foreign virus into the original people that resulted in many deaths. This time, their genocidal tool is the virus of greed. Indian Affairs controls
who speaks for the “first nations’. When Deskaheh went to lobby the League of Nations for fairness for his people, he returned to Canada stripped of his leadership with an elected Indian Act council that continues to cause rifts in the Haudenosaunee people to this day. This greed for power or money or standing in a community is destroying the collective nature of the original people. Currently across Canada, there are Indian Act chiefs in some six hundred plus bands that control their communities. The chiefs set elections. The chiefs have access to funds to encourage voters to support them in these fixed elections. The chiefs reward voters and their families with jobs and homes. How can this gap ever be fixed? Does Perry Bellegarde have this answer? Indian Affairs knows this system exists and have been complicit from the inception of Indian Act councils to the recent promises made to specific chiefs at a national chiefs assembly. The Assembly of First Nations is another Federal department. This is the way that Trudeau and his
federal ministers maintain control and jurisdiction over the actual “owners” of the land and resources. However, the Federal government has failed to include all the other Indians. In setting up Indian elite chiefs and councils who only help their families or select voters, Trudeau has forgotten the rest of our people. We are the original people and we know our truth. As original people, we had many societies. We have traditional or ceremonial people. We have women, matriarchal or educational functions. We also have warriors for policing, protection and for war. These societies are not gone. They exist as an undercurrent and flow that links us back to our original ancestry. This blood memory and cosmic flow cannot be broken. In our languages we carry our laws, the teachings and heart of the people. These languages connect to the land, waters and spirits that have always lived in this space. Trudeau thinks that if he buys one “Indian organization” that we all will follow. Trudeau like
his father, White Paper Trudeau, has never seen or understood why our people are still here. After five hundred years, we go on. We are thriving and the fastest growing population segment on this land. Why? It is because it is our land. Our people are connected to the greater purpose and song of this land. We cannot be silenced. The purpose of Trudeau’s latest legislation is to ignore the 1763 Royal Proclamation that states from the whiteman’s own laws that the Indian people are the occupier/owners of this land. From this document, the original people have had international standing in whiteman made law because only nations can make treaties. Every legislation or act that has been enacted tries to take away this international protection from the first peoples. Trudeau would also like to ignore the 1867 British North America Act, renamed the Canada Act to try to break from the fact that this land was formed by the nation of Great Britain and Canada is just a colony or leftover state. Finally, Trudeau hopes to correct his late dad’s greatest failure. Enshrining the rights of the Indigenous/ Indian people into Canada’s constitution was Trudeau
the elder’s greatest failure. When the Indian people took it upon themselves as nations to go speak to the leader of nation that partnered with them, the Queen, Trudeau the elder was outraged. He sent eleven justice ministers to England to deal with “his” wayward Indians. These weren’t wayward Indians. There were the hereditary leaders who used the Indian Act electoral system to work and lobby for not only their own individual bands, but for all the original peoples who stood to be affected by Trudeau the elder’s latest plans to undermine rights. Now this man’s son has come forward, sniveling about “giving” our people recognition. The constitution is the recognition. Anything Trudeau the younger creates is just some namby-pamby legislation that this little state called Canada can make. In the 1970’s some forty years ago, we had our Chiefs, our leaders who understood that Trudeau could do nothing because the original treaties trumped his every action. Now we have a full funded department of chiefs who are trying to give away the land and all the inherent rights that come with who we are as a people. The grassroots people
are stepping up in their communities. Last week a group of Cold Lake Dene grandmothers started to oppose the destruction of their land by their Indian agent chief and council. The Stoney Nakoda rallied their people to oppose land designation and development west of Calgary. Sewepemc Warriors are standing to build tiny houses in the path of the KinderMorgan TransMountain pipeline. The fight against Dakota Access Pipeline culminated in a global protection effort in Standing Rock S.D. last year. The original people are tied to the land and the waters. They steward and protect. Trudeau like other oppressive mainstream government leaders thinks that by controlling one office he will control six hundred plus nations. He is wrong. The grassroots will stop Ottawa and the land destruction. The grassroots will stop Indian Affairs latest department the Assembly of First Nations. The grassroots will take this to every man made court and then for final judgment to the court of the Creator. Here the earth and waters will determine the outcome. It is best for all planetary life, that we recognize we are only one small part of Creation.

Professor could lose title after racist tweets STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
ST. CATHARINES — Brock University is meeting this week to discuss how they will deal with one of their own after a retired political science professor sent out a ravage of racist tweets. Garth Stevenson lashed
out at Indigenous people last week, responding to news reports that a statue of John A. MacDonald was slated for removal in Victoria. Stevenson wrote in a tweet that the statue's removal was to “appease snivelling aboriginals who probably never did a day's work in their lives” and went on to say Indigenous
people would hold a "pagan cleansing and healing ceremony" afterward. Brock spoke out against Stevenson’s behaviour,
saying it is not reflective of the university’s values. The university is meeting to vote on stripping Stevenson of his title.

TWO ROW TIMES
REGINA — The RCMP is defending its relationship with Indigenous communities in Saskatchewan after it was named in a lawsuit filed by the family of Colten Boushie. Boushie was fatally shot in August 2016 by a Saskatchewan farmer who was later found not guilty of second-degree murder. The lawsuit includes farmer Gerald Stanley for the shooting and the

RCMP for the way it treated family members after Boushie died. When the lawsuit was announced, Chris Murphy, one of the family's lawyers, said the lawsuit will make the RCMP examine how it interacts with Indigenous people. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki says Murphy's statement does not accurately reflect the positive relationship Mounties have with Indigenous people in the province. He says the RCMP has long worked closely with
Indigenous communities from local detachments to senior officers. ``Every day Saskatchewan RCMP officers and employees work collaboratively with our communities both Indigenous and non-Indigenous,'' Zablocki said in a release Friday. ``The Saskatchewan RCMP is committed to continue supporting and further developing these positive relationships.'' None of the allegations in the Boushie family lawsuit have been proven in court.

Family of Colten Boushie files lawsuit against RCMP, Gerald Stanley CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SASKATOON — The family of an Indigenous man shot to death on a Saskatchewan farm has filed lawsuits against the RCMP and the farmer who was acquitted in the killing. Colten Boushie was killed after being shot in the head on a farm near the community of Biggar in August 2016. Gerald Stanley, the landowner, was found not
guilty of second-degree murder after testifying that his gun went off accidentally as he was shooting to scare away young people he thought were stealing from him. The claim against Stanley, filed in Saskatoon court, argues that the farmer caused Boushie's death through negligence, recklessness, or by an intentional act. ``This lawsuit will prove that the death of Colten Boushie was wrongful and that the Boushie family suffered a profound and
devastating loss the night Colten was fatally shot,'' lawyer Eleanore Sunchild said in a statement Thursday. ``This lawsuit will hold the person responsible for Colten's wrongful death accountable. Nothing can return Colten to his family, yet the Boushie family will continue its relentless pursuit of justice for Colten.'' None of the allegations have been proven in court. Stanley's lawyer did not immediately return requests for comment.
The suit argues that Stanley or his family members never attempted to contact police when they saw the young people on the property. It also says that Stanley's wife, Leesa, is a registered nurse and didn't take any action to provide life saving measures. Boushie's mother, Debbie Baptiste, is seeking $30,000 for herself, $20,000 for funeral expenses, $60,000 in expenses, $100,000 because she was unable to work after her son's death, and
$200,000 in damages. Boushie's family is also suing the attorney general of Canada and individual RCMP officers over the way they were treated on the night Boushie died. The claim says that officers didn't present a search warrant when they arrived at the family's home at Red Pheasant First Nation when they were looking for Cassidy Cross-Whitstone, who was in the vehicle with Boushie at Stanley's farm. The family says no consent was sought to enter the home and that one officer grabbed Baptiste by her wrist and told her get herself together as she was on the ground, inconsolable. ``The search officers who attended the home deliberately engaged in discrimination by subjecting three proud members of the Red Pheasant
First Nation to ridicule, unlawful searches, and humiliating breath tests,'' the claim says. Chris Murphy, another lawyer working with the Boushies, said in a statement that he expects the lawsuit will make the force ``look deep within itself and examine the manner in which the RCMP interacts with the Indigenous citizens of Canada.'' The RCMP said in a statement that its sympathies remain with the family and friends of Boushie. The Mounties said that they are fully co-operating with an independent review of what took place. ``As this matter is currently under independent review and is now before a civil court, it would be inappropriate to comment publicly at this time,'' the RCMP said.

TWO ROW TIMES
VICTORIA — A statue of Canada's first prime minister has been removed from the grounds outside Victoria City Hall, days after the city council voted to remove it. The city began discussions in 2017 to remove the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald as part of the reconciliation process with the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, voting seven to one Thursday to have it removed. Songhees Chief Ron Sam wrote in a July 31 letter to Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps that removing the statue is an import-
ant step in the city's path toward reconciliation. Minutes from the council meeting say the statue will be stored in a facility until the city determines what to do with the statue, adding they were not trying to ``erase history.'' Supporters and protesters alike were visible at city hall carrying placards and signs, while some protesters wrapped themselves in Canadian and British Columbian flags and sang the national anthem. Macdonald played a significant role in the creation of the residential school system that displaced thousands of Indigenous youth, and served as the MP for Victoria from 1878 to 1882.

TWO ROW TIMES
Back-to-school season has come, with teary-eyed new kindergarten parents and 25 mph zones alike. But within Six Nations there are seven elementary schools and one high school on-reserve, which makes the education of Six Nations youth an evolving process. And with indigenous youth being the fastest growing demographic out of the indigenous population, education is a must. In Canada, roughly 88% of First Nations schools offer some type of Indigenous language programming and 17% offer full Indigenous language immersion programming. While, approximately 91% of First Nations schools offer some type of periodic cultural activities,
while 57% offer regular and on-going cultural programming. And about 92% of First Nations schools partially integrate cultural teachings into the curriculum, while 26% of schools have cultural teachings fully integrated into the curriculum. These percentages have changed over time in part of the first indigenous-made education policy devised over thirty years ago. In 1967, out of 60,000 indigenous students — only 200 seen university classrooms. With the number of educational successes so low, the country began to recognize the ineffectiveness of it’s indigenous education programming. Numerous problems seemed to show up and grow in the indigenous student demographic and this prompted a new policy to be born.
In 1972, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), formerly the National Indian Brotherhood, created a policy on Indigenous education they called Indian Control of Indian Education. The policy was later adopted by the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, formerly the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, as an unofficial education policy. The policy identified the importance of local community control to improve education, the development of relevant curricula and teaching resources in Indigenous schools, the need for more Indigenous teachers and the vast importance of language instruction and Indigenous values while educating Indigenous students.

Since the presentation of this policy, several changes have occurred in time as well. In 2014, the federal government introduced Bill C-33, the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act. The bill along with other proposals promised funding for Indigenous education and better standards of quality for education in Indigenous schools. However, the AFN rejected it with the claim that the gov-
ernment had developed the bill without adequate consultation. And many critics of the act argued that it failed to reduce government involvement in First Nations education. Thus, the bill did not gather the wide support sought among Indigenous communities. In November of 2015, the federal government announced its plan to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The declaration addresses
Indigenous education in Articles 14 and 21, and covers the issues of access to education, socioeconomic conditions, Indigenous language instruction and more. Implementing UNDRIP will require new legislation and ongoing negotiations between the federal government and Indigenous nations in the future. Each negotiation and decision tailors the education of indigenous youth, making indigenous classrooms some of the most unique.

She was protesting a white supremacy rally, standing up for goodness and decency. Her favorite color was purple, and that's why her dog was named Violet. At Heather's memorial service, her mother, Susan Bro, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tried to kill my child to shut her up. But guess what, you just magnified her.â&#x20AC;? Many myths tell of beautiful souls who were placed in the heavens as stars to be guiding lights for others. In this portrait, the background stars are constellations of August, with the North Star, Polaris, shining beside Heather's face.

Beluga backlash: Inuk father faces critics after sharing photo of whale harvest CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
RANKIN INLET, Nunavut — An Inuk father who posted a photo on Twitter expressing pride in his son's first beluga whale harvest says he's received a lot of online backlash from people who don't un-
derstand life in the North. When someone harvests a whale in Rankin Inlet it's a celebration for the whole community, said Albert Netser. But it's more special when it happens for the first time. So when his 16-yearold son Nangaat harpooned a beluga whale earlier this week in the Hudson Bay, like any
proud parent, he wanted to share the achievement. He shared the photo, showing his son proudly smiling standing on rocks at the edge of the water in front of the dead whale, with his 388 Twitter followers on Monday. ``It's something very special traditionally, culturally. The first harvest of any person was given
out to the community or to the namesake of the child and, you know, this is what we did with the harvest,'' Netser said. But soon after, the notifications on his phone started to blow up with many people sending derogatory comments about the whale being killed. Netser tried to engage with some of the people
by sharing the significance of the moment for Inuit. He explained that very few belugas are harvested in the community, maybe one a season if they are lucky, and every part of the animal is used. ``We eat it raw, we eat it boiled, we eat it cooked, we eat it as smoked sausage, you know, out of the intestines,'' he said.
Notice of Design and Construction Report Submission Replacement of the Puslinch Concession Road 7 Bridge over Highway 401 Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment (G.W.P. 3224-15-00)
THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is moving forward with replacement of the Concession Road 7 Bridge over Highway 401 in the Township of Puslinch. This bridge replacement was included with the Highways 6 and 401 Improvements from Hamilton North Limits to Guelph South Limits Notice of Study Commencement. Construction of this bridge replacement is expected to start in 2019. The new bridge over Highway 401 will be built to the west of the existing bridge, and will accommodate the future widening of Highway 401. The Concession Road 7 / McLean Road intersection north of the bridge will be improved to better accommodate truck turning movements. Traffic on Concession Road 7 and McLean Road will be maintained for the majority of the construction with some short-term closures required. During removal of the existing bridge, Highway 401 traffic will be redirected to the Emergency Detour Route, which is anticipated to take place on a single weekend night. THE PROCESS This study has been undertaken in accordance with the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) for a Group ‘A’ project.

``People eat the meat, they fry the meat, they dry the meat. There are many ways of eating it. It's just to your preference.'' Some of the people were receptive and appreciated learning about Inuit culture. ``I just want to apologize for my ignorance? I am deeply remorseful for my despicable comment,'' one user said. But the block user option became a welcome relief for those that continued to post disparaging comments, Netser said. ``There are some pretty harsh things that were mentioned. I'm just happy my son didn't see them,'' he said, adding he did share the many supportive tweets with his son. ``They do mean well maybe for the animal, but they just don't know our culture as well.'' Beluga whales are classified as a near threatened species. Oil and gas development are the greatest threat to the species, says the World Wildlife Fund. The Nunavut Wildlife Management Board monitors the beluga populations while respecting Inuit harvesting rights. The whales have always been important to Inuit communities. The skin and outer blubber are made into muktuk, which is a good source of nutrition. Newer recipes, such as sausage made by filling intestines with muktuk before being smoked, are also popular. People may not understand the high cost of food in the North, Netser said, and how important the hunting season is to survival in the winter. He posted a photo on Twitter of a bag of dried mangos that cost more than $35. ``We have our rich land in some seasons, and if we store food for the winter to come then we have food security,'' he said. Netser said he hopes the experience can be used to teach people about the Inuit way of life. ``They are more than welcome to look into any history,'' he said. ``Once they understand maybe they won't get so hurt or hateful to any one culture.''

Ottawa quietly cancels plans to award Indigenous surf clam licence CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — The federal government says it has cancelled plans to issue a controversial clam fishing licence to a First Nations company with ties to the Liberal party and several sitting Liberal MPs — including the former fisheries minister. A news release from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans says the process to issue a fourth licence to harvest arctic surf clam off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia was cancelled in early July, and that it won't be issued this year at all. That multimillion-dollar licence was supposed to go to the Five Nations Clam Co., a company court documents suggest did not initially meet key eligibility requirements spelled out in the government's tender process. The deal, which would have ended a 19-year monopoly on the Arctic clam fishery held by Clearwater Seafoods, was supposed to offer 25 per cent of the catch to local Indigenous communities as a way of promoting reconciliation and economic growth. On Feb. 21, Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced the deal had been awarded to Five Nations, which he said was composed of ``First Nations from Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.'' In fact, the company only had two Indigenous partners at the time: the Elsipogtog First Nation in New Brunswick and the Nutashkuan Innu in Quebec. ``The current process to issue a fourth arctic surf clam licence was cancelled in early July, and the reasons subsequently shared with the proponent,'' Fisheries and Oceans said Friday in a news release. ``A new arctic surf clam licence will not be issued
in 2018.'' Instead, a new process will begin next year in order to issue a licence that would be valid in 2020, with an ``independent third party'' evaluating the bids, the department says. The remaining 25 per cent of this year's total allowable catch ``may be made available'' to the existing licence holder, the release says. ``This would allow for the economic benefits to remain in coastal communities while Fisheries and Oceans Canada continues to work to broaden access to this fishery.'' The new process, it continues, ``will once again focus on confirming and validating the specific direct and significant benefits that will flow to Indigenous communities, as well as the proponents' readiness to implement their submissions.'' Conservative fisheries critic Todd Doherty was very pleased with the decision, describing the original process as seriously flawed. ``This is great news,'' Doherty said. ``It's what we said all along should happen.'' In its original proposal, Five Nations admitted it was not officially registered in Nova Scotia until Dec. 13, 2017, records show – well past the Nov. 22 deadline to submit proposals. The company was not registered in New Brunswick until Feb. 28 of this year. Five Nations is partnered with Premium Seafoods, a non-Indigenous Nova Scotia company whose president is Edgar Samson, the brother of Liberal MP Darrell Samson. A newly added Indigenous partner, NunatuKavut, is headed by former Liberal MP Todd Russell. In the spring, Doherty requested the ethics commissioner to investigate because those Liberal ties. Doherty has also drawn ties between the deal and LeBlanc himself: The Five Nations proposal said it would be headed up by Gilles Theriault, who is cousin to the former min-
ister's wife. LeBlanc was shuffled out of the Fisheries portfolio late last month and now serves as intergovernmental affairs minis-
ter. He was replaced at Fisheries by Vancouver MP Jonathan Wilkinson. Doherty called the timing of the decision ``suspicious,'' considering the
fact LeBlanc was shuffled just weeks later. The Miawpukek Band in Newfoundland, which had submitted its own proposal during the orig-
inal process, launched a court challenge alleging LeBlanc breached his duty of fairness in awarding the licence to Five Nations.

SIX NATIONS — Six Nations/New Credit blues guitarist Dwayne Laforme has been asked to be a part of the house band of the this year’s Native American Music Awards, aka NAMA or Nammys, sanctioned by the Grammy Awards, but for indigenous musicians. The Nama Awards Celebration is “the world’s largest and only professional membership-based organization dedicated to showcasing and honouring outstanding music initiatives by Native North Americans and American Indians. The Native American Music Association, a 501(c(3) was established in 1998 surrounding the debut of the Native American Music Awards in order to promote greater cultural understanding and revival
of Native American music and culture. It was founded in 1998. According to the New York Times, the Nama Awards represent “the music industry's only national organization for the advancement and recognition of Native American music, devoted to bringing Indigenous music to the world's consciousness. USA Today agrees saying, “It’s time to start taking Native American music seriously.” And so the NAMA’s were created. “We went to Niagara Falls, New York last Sunday” said Laforme. “I guess music director Ed Koban has been following me on social media and asked if I would come out and jam with them.” Koban liked Laforme’s style and asked him to be a member of the house band for the awards show. “He said it was a perfect mix,” says Laforme.”He said,
Six Nations/New Credit bluesman Dwayne Laforme has been invited to be a part of the house band for the 2019 Native American Music Awards. LaForme will be in intense rehearsals to get ready for the show, which will be streamed around the world.

‘if this is an audition, you easily passed.” He admits this assignment will be a challenge for him, to work up other
people’s songs of whatever style is required. “I tell my manager Veronica to always be careful to stipulate that Laforme is
strictly a 'blues' guitar player,” says Laforme. “That’s all I wanna to do, but with the profile this could give me, I decided to do it." Laforme will be packing up his guitar collection and driving south to begin rehearsals at the end of September. With him will be his prize custom built BB King, Gibson “Lucille”, Buddy Guy signature Polka-Dot Fender Stratocaster, his Les Paul, and two Fender Telecasters. As a warm-up to the show, he will be sitting in with the other members of the house band to play a club called Attitudes, in Lockport, NY. “I hope it’s a big crowd, ‘cause that’s when I play my best,” he says. Rehearsals for the show will begin early October. Another challenge for Laforme is that, by his own admission, he hates practicing. He will be required to work with the award
Lynden
winners for a minimum of five hours a day leading up to the show. Laforme considers the invitation to be a part of the show band a confirmation of his ability and his growing notoriety as a solo artist. He also sees the opportunity to network with other musicians across the border. Laforme set aside his solo career for a time to play alongside fellow Six Nations blue guitarist Joel Johnson, but has always kept busy with his own Dwayne Laforme Boogie Band. Now he is getting back to traveling his own road on his own terms. “It’s all about what I want to do,” he says. “My style, my singing, my songs. I’m hoping it will open some new doors.” He even picked up a new moniker. “They call me the Six Nations Blues Master down there, and I kinda like that."

TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Rivermen repeated as silver medalists in the OJBLL playoffs against the powerful Oakville Rock. Three first period goals, two of them on the same powerplay after Kessler Doolittle was charged 7-minutes for facemask and roughing, eventually cost Six Nations the game. They could not seem to establish a flow and found themselves behind, 3-0 after 20 minutes of play in Game 4 of the best-of-five series. The Rivermen re-established themselves in the second period. Tom Montour fired up the Rivermen with a period opening goal at 34 seconds which Rayce Vyse added to at 1:17. The Titans regrouped and pushed back with

Montour glared at him throughout the awards ceremony and it was uncertain for a time if it would escalate or cool down. Fortu-nately for all, the incident ended at stink-eyes and a few unpublishable remarks. The night before, the Rivermen were beaten 13-8 at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville. The Rock rolled up a 7-2 first period lead which was expanded to 11-3 by the end of the second period. Although the Rivermen bAttled back, the chasm was too wide and the Rivermen lost 13-8 .

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs were still alive in the best-of-seven Major Series semi-finals against the Oakville Rock, but just barely. The series became critical for the Chiefs after they were beaten 8-4, Mondaynight in Oakville. Six Nations opened the series with an 8-5 win in Oakville but lost a 7-6 heartbreaker back at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Game 2. The Chiefs lost Game 3 8-7, and Game 4, 8-4, Monday night. Down 3-2 in the series, the Chiefs will have to win both Wednesday’s Game 6, and Thursday.

illegal cross-check at 8:11 and by 10:03 the Rock were leading 4-2. Oakville’s Johnny Powless assisted on both and scored an unassisted goal at 14:34 to put the Rock on top 5-2. Frank Brown cut the Oakville lead to 5-3 with Randy Staats and Kyle Jackson assisting to start the third. Andrew Kew

Williams sat back in the second round, waiting to counter an expected flurry of shots that never came. “He’d just come in fire a shot or two and out again,” he said. But he noticed the big-
ger man was starting to wear down. That's when Williams’ speed and agility started to take over. “I knew I had to stay away from that big right," Williams said. And he did so with his footwork and quick reflexes. However, James did catch up to Williams a few times and backed Williams off. “Man that guy can hit,” Williams said after the fight. But Williams came out the eventual with a unanimous decision to increase his young boxing record to one loss and two wins.

and Johnny Powless pounded in two more for Oakville before Staats scored at 10:12. Mitch Desnoo scored Oakville’s last goal unassisted for the 8-4 final score. Powless, in an Oakville uniform, scored three and assisted on two for a fivepoint outing. Sunday night at the ILA was one of the tightest
games of the season as both team’s goalies were at times sensational. The official scoresheet shows Oakville’s Nick Rose making 62 saves on 69 shots, and Doug Jamieson in the Chiefs cage stopping 44 of 52 shots. Randy Staats and Johnny Powless swapped goals in the first period. Six goals were evenly shared in the second and it was a 4-4 game heading into the third. The Chiefs’ Kyle Jackson scored at 36 seconds and again at 4:19, but Oakville scared at 5:51 and 8:52 and it was tied again. Ian MacKay took the lead back for the Chiefs at 12:37 but Dan Craig tied it up again at 15:10. There were goalposts hit, close crease violation calls and some great goaltending before Brad Gillies potted the 8-7 Oakville game winner at 17:57, unassisted. Last Thursday night, August 9th, in Oakville, the ball was bouncing Six Nations’ way in another
low scoring game and the Chiefs came out with a 9-7 win. Kyle Jackson scored one and Tehoka Nanticoke tallied twice for the Chiefs in the first period with Brandon Spade and Johnny Powless putting up goals for Oakville to complete the first period withSix Nations up 3-2. Play a team this many times in this short of an order and tempers will fray and they did in the second period with a number of “nasty temper” penalties but it was the Chiefs chalking up a powerplay goal and a shorthanded goal by Randy Staats and another shorthanded scored by Tyson Bell. Lost more extra-curricular activities spilled over into the third period creating many powerplay opportunities. Throwing momentum back and forth. Tehoka Nanticoke was the hero for Six Nations, scoring the game winner, shorthanded from Bell at 19:36.

WINNIPEG – Manitoba Hydro has asked the courts to overturn an order directing the Crown to create a special rate class for Indigenous customers who live on reserves. In May, the Public Utilities Board ordered
Hydro to freeze rates on reserves while implementing a general rate increase of 3.6 per cent elsewhere. The board said the ``On Reserve First Nations'' customer class was needed to deal with what it calls energy poverty. Manitoba Hydro President Kelvin Shepherd says the board exceeded its authority and the Manitoba Court of Ap-
peal should overturn the order. He says Hydro is required to maintain uniform rates for all residential customers, regardless of where they live. Earlier this year the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs called the board's decision to create the separate rate class a victory that recognizes the hardship faced by people who live on reserves.
