BOMB SCARE IN OHSWEKEN

FREE take one

A bomb scare shut down Fourth Line Road near Chiefswood Road, Wednesday afternoon, when what turned out to be a hoax pipe-bomb, was discovered in a bag on the front porch of the Village Café. The busy restaurant was quickly cleared and the surrounding neighborhood was evacuated from their homes along with a nearby daycare centre while a London OPP bomb squad using robot cameras investigated the suspicious object. Upon a closer look, it was determined that the device was not able to explode but was fashioned to resemble a live pipe-bomb. Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone who may have witnessed someone planting the device sometime Wednesday morning is asked to contact Six Nations Police Services. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE PM42686517

“Mush Hole Museum” renos will be a long process

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – Renovations have begun to transform the former “Mush Hole” residential school, located on reserve land within the City of Brantford, into something of a Holocaust museum to remember the attempted cultural genocide of the Onkwehon:we way of life through residential schools.

Some current business tenants in the building have been given notice to find other accommodations while the extensive repairs to the roof and restoration of other parts of the building are conducted, although they will likely not be completed for years to come.

The current Mohawk Institute residential school building was constructed in 1904 after two previous wooden schools at the site burned down. It was speculated at the time that the second building was torched by the students themselves.

The Anglican-run and government-sanctioned school was dubbed the “Mush Hole” by former students in reference to the poor food Native children were forced to eat while there. One former student told of how she used to sift the oatmeal-like mush through her teeth to filter

The story of Indian residential schools serves as a reminder of government- and church-regulated atrocities as they tried to separate Native children from their culture, language and beliefs.

The “Mush Hole” was officially closed in 1970, but it remains the oldest and longest and running residential school in Canada, with its beginnings in the 1840’s.

Through various fund raising efforts, the Woodland Cultural Museum located next to the former school hopes to gather and put on display articles and examples of what life was like for 150,000 Onkwe-

hon:we children forced to attend these “assimilation camps” under the guise of education and religion.

According to government medical records of the day, as many as 50% of the Native children who were sent to these schools across Canada died while under the care of the church and the state. Horrific stories of abuse of all sorts have been told by former “students,” which prompted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to make a public apology to all First Nations across Canada for past wrongs done against Onkwehon:we children within the residential school system.

“It’s a reminder to

Canada of what happened,” says Woodland Cultural Museum Director Paula Whitlow.

When complete, the Residential School Museum will not focus on any one era of its existence, but rather try and include rooms that reflect different eras between when the school opened and when it was officially closed.

Although this will be a very costly project to complete, Whitlow believes it is necessary to remind people of the horrors of Canada’s government- and church-legislated racism and genocide.

Consultation with former “Mush Hole” students, as well as newspa-

per accounts and old photographs are helping the renovations team piece together what the school looked like through many generations of students, or “inmates,” as some government documents refer to them.

The roof and copula alone will cost between $800,000 and $1.1 million to fix and restore. The entire project could exceed $5 million.

A fundraising campaign called “Save the Evidence” has begun to help cover some of the enormous costs of the renovations. Although a full time fundraiser has been hired, she will be working with the Planet Indigenous exposition committee, as well, and will not be able to focus exclusively on the Mush Hole project until next year.

After lobbying Six Nations Elected Band Council last year, and reporting that the situation can no longer be ignored, Council earmarked $200,000 to go towards the new roof. A stopgap of a mesh and plastic membrane has been installed over the old roof to help prevent further damage to the building until the full amount of the new roof has been achieved.

It will act as a temporary measure but will only be good for a maximum of two to three years.

“It’s kind of a Band-Aid on the situation like we’ve been doing for the past 30 years,” said Whitlow, “because there has never been adequate funding assigned to keep it up. We’re always putting Band-Aids on it.”

For some former resident students, even the sight of the building is too much to bear and some have lobbied to have the building torn down. But most who partook in a survey and three consultation meetings with the community indicated that it was important to keep the building as a sad reminder of the black stain on Canadian history.

“Of the almost 500 responses we received, only seven recommended it be torn down,” says Whitlow.

“I know that 500 responses isn’t a lot, at the same time we feel the results from the 500 are pretty telling.”

Although careful not to voice her opinion while the survey was going on, Whitlow says “I can’t speak for everyone, but I think since this is part of the Woodland Cultural Museum … [it’s] not a negative thing,” she says. “I’ve driven in to work a few time thinking, ‘Wow, I can’t imaging coming down that long laneway and seeing nothing at the end of it.’ My heart hurt thinking about that.”

Bomb hoax in downtown Ohsweken investigated

By Jim Windle with files from Paula Hill OHSWEKEN – Six Nations Police and the OPP are investigating a pipe-bomb threat that evacuated a downtown Ohsweken restaurant and the immediate neighbourhood, shutting down Forth Line Road at Chiefswood Road, Thursday afternoon.

At around 1:45am, an off duty Six Nations Police officer was having lunch at the Village Café. A waitress told the off duty officer, whom she knew, of a mysterious package someone left at the front entrance to the busy restaurant.

The officer went to look and discovered what appeared to be a pipe bomb and called it into the station. The restaurant was immediately evacuated and customers were told to leave the area. Neighboring residents were also evacuated from their homes for safety reasons.

The London OPP bomb unit was dispatched to check out the

OPP Bomb Squad was dispatched to downtown Ohsweken Thursday afternoon to investigate a suspicious object left at the Village Café on Fourth Line Road. The restaurant and surrounding area homes were evacuated immediately. Using the latest in technology, the unit sent in two remote control robots for a closer look. The device was a hoax made to look like a pipe-bomb. Police are investigating the incident. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE suspicious package with remote control robots while police, Six Nations Fire and Paramedic units and media stood a distance away.

Upon investigation

by the bomb unit of the length of pipe, capped at either end with wires attached, it was determined that the package had been made to resemble a pipe bomb, but did not contain

explosive materials.

Just to be sure, however, OPP detonated two explosive devices to knock the ends off the pipe, causing the residents and media gath-

ered a distance away to jump, but all was well. Inspector Darren Montour indicated that the sounds came from knocking the cap off of the replica pipe bomb.

Police would not give any details of what they found with the bomb or what they discovered, if anything, inside the pipe, only to say there were no explosives found.

There has been no evidence released to date that could determine exactly when the fake bomb was placed at one of the most popular restaurants in Ohsweken, or the reasons behind it. Was it an early Halloween prank or a more sinister message, and if a message, to whom was it intended and why? Police are continuing the investigation to determine the answers to these and many other questions.

Charges of mischief, calling in a hoax bomb threat, building a fake bomb, and other related charges await the culprit or culprits when found. The culprit or culprits could face up to five years in prison, if found guilty.

Birthing Centre celebrates 1000th birth

By Paula Hill SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Birthing Centre celebrated the 1000th birth through their Centre on Friday, October 11, 2014 with an open house and barbecue luncheon. The Birthing Centre has operated in the community at its location on 1350 Sour Springs Road at Six Nations since May 17, 1996, with the first birth occurring July 13, 1996.

The centre operates under the Department of Health Services of Six Nations Council, providing prenatal, labour and delivery, and postpartum services for “low-risk births”

as defined by the Ontario College of Midwives. The Aboriginal Midwives provide all prenatal care with consults being done with Obstetrician Gynaecologists when required.

Aboriginal Midwives are able to incorporate traditional teachings and traditional medicines in caring for their clients.

The Six Nations Birthing Centre has a Grandparents Group that governs policy and protocol development, and a traditional medicine person is available to all clients. Julie Wilson, Program Supervisor at the Birthing Centre, estimates that approximately 95% of clients choose to receive

traditional medicines, even though it is not mandatory.

Wilson acknowledged that many women come to the Centre with a desire to learn traditional methods as an integral part of their transition to motherhood.

The Birthing Centre was determined to be a necessary health care service for the Six Nations community as many young women would not seek prenatal care out of fear of receiving poor treatment with mainstream health care provid-

ers.

Joan Garlow, grandmother to this year’s New Years Baby, described her family’s care at the birthing Centre as “great.” Garlow appreciated the calm serene environment and the support they received from Birthing Centre staff.

The other mothers in attendance at the 1000th birth celebration disclosed personal stories.

Talking to staff at the Birthing Centre can be both a shocking and welcoming experience. Staff

openly use the word vagina in nearly every sentence. They openly discuss sex and reproduction issues. Breastfeeding is normal and natural there; no one is expected to hide in the bathroom while they nurse their babies.

One mother described the support she received at the Birthing Centre as phenomenal. She stated that breastfeeding raised issues for her around her history as a survivor of sexual violence; something she was initially scared to

talk about. She was able to talk to her midwife about the discomfort she felt during breastfeeding and she felt supported in trying to overcome those feelings. When she realized she would need professional support to deal with her history, she was further supported in her decision to bottle feed even though she felt like a failure. The women described the staff as compassionate and knowledgeable.

Services offered at the Six Nations Birthing Centre extend to include all women’s reproductive health issues. “Women In All Her Seasons” is an educational retreat for pubescent/ prepubescent girls to learn about reproduction, their bodies and respect as they enter into their child-bearing years. Women’s Clinics offer breast exams and pap smears completed by the midwives. An on-site Aboriginal Midwife training program is also offered.

Look out, C-10 passes through Senate Roberta honoured

By Jim Windle OTTAWA – The controversial Bill C-10, which has potential to negatively impact the economy of many First Nations communities, passed third reading Thursday morning. The Bill criminalizes those Native owned businesses and individuals selling tobacco through on-reserve Native Smoke Shops not operating according to Canada’s taxation regime.

To give it teeth, Bill C-10 creates mandatory minimum sentences for various “crimes” that until now had no minimum sentences. Judges can no longer exercise their discretion in sentencing, allowing them to consider whether there are mitigating circumstances affecting the individual facing criminal charges.

Kris Green, spokesperson for the Haudenosaunee Trade Collective, was not surprised at the passing of the Bill, which now only awaits Royal Assent to become law.

“We did expect it to go through the way it did, all the time with a glimmer

of hope that it would be different,” Green told the Two Row Times. “It was pretty much pre-determined, so we’re just going to continue on our path.”

Exactly what that path is, is being kept under wraps at this point, other than to say the group is working on various “what if” scenarios at this time.

Although keeping abreast of what other reserves are doing relative to C-10, each has its own unique position and are presently dealing with the issues internally.

“I don’t think our momentum has changed,” Green said. “Discussions about regulation of our own tobacco trade continues among the Haudenosaunee Chiefs, who have endorsed the work of the HTC.” The tobacco trade has been a part of the Haudenosaunee economy from the earliest of times and more recently has become a major economic force that employs thousands of people in the manufacture, transport, and retailing of tobacco products.

According to international law, it is a right of Indigenous peoples to develop their own economic base under their own regulations without the interference of a foreign government.

The heavy-handed approach to the Native tobacco industry by the Harper government has received harsh criticism from Onkwehon:we communities as well as sympathetic non-Natives.

But it would appear that the Bill was designed for a more indirect purpose, which may supersede even the latest Tory tax grab. It would criminalize First Nation entrepreneurs for conducting business on reserve and has the potential to send those working in the tobacco industry to jail for extended periods of time.

Natives in Canada already account for 22 per cent of prison inmates while making up less than 4 per cent of the general population. Many of those incarcerated are young men who have grown up in conditions of poverty and high unemployment.

Extensive lobbying efforts and protests have greeted Bill C-10 since the Bill came to public attention in February of 2014.

Six Nations Police Services has already made a promise to the community that they would not enforce Bill C-10 should it pass.

In attempts to buy some time for more lobbying against it, opposition parties have tried to add amendments to the Bill that would delay its passage until meaningful consultation with affected First Nations could be conducted. Those recommendations were swept aside in Thursday morning’s final passage of the Bill through the Tory controlled Senate.

In terms of what can be done next around framing the Onkwehon:we response to Bill C-10, Kris Green recommends that people visit the HTC webpage at http://www. ht radecollec t ive.com/ comments and leave some suggestions as to what should be done next.

TORONTO – Indspire, the largest non-governmental funder of Indigenous education in Canada, is pleased to announce that the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) has awarded Indspire’s President and CEO Roberta L. Jamieson with the David C. Smith Award, which honours individuals who have made a significant contribution to higher education. Jamieson received the award at a ceremony in Toronto last night.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors for Indspire, I offer Roberta my sincere congratulations on receiving this prestigious award,” said David Gabriel Tuccaro, Indspire’s Board Chair. “Her commitment to education has helped enlarge the horizon of opportunity for Indigenous youth in this country.”

The COU recognized Jamieson for her outstanding advocacy in support of Indigenous education in Can-

ada, and her dedication to improving access and increasing career success of Indigenous learners.

“Roberta has been a transformative force for Aboriginal education in Canada, and it was an honour for the Council of Ontario Universities to present her with this award,” said COU President and CEO Bonnie M. Patterson. “Through her extraordinary efforts and perseverance, Roberta has greatly increased the financial support available to Aboriginal learners, and continues to have a profound impact on their success.”

“Indigenous youth are the fastest-growing demographic in Canada, and I am encouraged by the support we receive from individuals, organizations and corporations so that Indspire can provide bursaries to First Nation, Inuit, and Métis post-secondary students for their education and training,” said Jamieson.

Opposing worldviews At Kahnawà:ke, the band council’s current “Mohawk Law” stipulates that even children who have a clan are not valued, as families are to be exiled from the territory, because one of their parents’ are not Kanien’kehá:ka. Is it because it’s less effort to turn our back on our own people? Or maybe, Canada’s colonial Indian Act policy has created confusion in the minds of our community through its band council?

It is no secret that the band council is subject to the discriminatory, policy of the Indian Act, and regarding its “Mohawk Law”, are bound to fulfill Canada’s conditions in order to receive funding for the “privileges”, because the band council can have no claim to our treaty rights, and that the band council was to be the administrators of our treaty funds from Canada, as our government (the Longhouses) were to always be the authority in our territories; to uphold our treaty rights.

The children who suffered through the Residential Schools were targeted to “remove the Indian in the child.” As a result, we (the Kanien’kehá:ka of Ka-

EDITORIAL: The

crime of acting sovereign

The passing of the anti-native tobacco Bill C-10 through the Senate last week was an ominous sign. Once again the Harper government is plowing ahead with no pretense of respect for Onkwehon:we people.

The Canadian government is now only waiting for royal assent for the bill to pass into law.

When it does, every police force in Canada will

hanawà:ke) are faced with opposing views that stem from different upbringings; different worldviews causing the obstruction of our immediate and extended families; and has proven to have a negative impact on our external relations, because of the blood quantum mentality that was imposed on us.

The Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke, are not of one mind of whether families are to be exiled from the territory today. During the 1870s and into the early 1880s, Kahnawà:ke became divided over Rotinonhsón:ni government and Canada’s Indian Act band council system.

Today, there is this fear of that “they” (Canada) will say that “there ain’t no more Indians left to have any status”. This would only be true if the Great Law of Peace is not upheld (if we continue to allow Canada’s Indian Act’s band council to mismanage our families and land).

Discrimination is becoming a shared common value in Kahnawà:ke; even of those who classify themselves as traditionalists or “Longhouse”. How could a person claim to be utilizing the Great Law

have the right to arrest and jail (with mandatory sentencing terms) indigenous people for the crime of acting sovereign.

For make no mistake, that is exactly what this Bill is about. Onkwehon:we people, believing themselves to be sovereign and to have the right to grow and trade a plant given to their ancestors by creation millennia before the arrival of the white man, will be attacked by the government of a foreign and invading jurisdic-

of Peace as a guideline by choosing to discard families consisting of children for the interest of land? fact, When in Kahnawà:ke land is not in question, as “The land cannot be seized by legal process or be mortgaged or pledged to non-members…” according to chapter 5 of Canada’s Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Canada Development, Land Management, on “Reserve Land”.

In addition, on August 27, peaceful alternatives to that of breaking up families of Kahnawà:ke were presented to the Bear Clan council at the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawà:ke’s Longhouse on the 207, and a letter was also hand delivered prior to this, requesting for the Longhouse’s guidance in the matter.

The alternatives presented were Residency Permit Options and a Disclaimer to remove the possibility for an “open-door policy”.

This was also presented to the band council, as the true intentions of those involved who are married or living with non-native partners, family and/or children in Kahnawà:ke are not to disrupt the collective peace. As of today (October 12, 2014), there tion seeking to interfere in their ways.

But whatever Canada does, Onkwehon:we people are going to keep growing and selling tobacco. Not only is the native tobacco industry one with suppliers, distribution networks, and productive assets already in place, but the highly profitable production of tobacco aids in the reconstitution of indigenous nations depressed by centuries of poverty and discrimination. The local tobacco industry is supported by

has been no response from the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawà:ke’s Longhouse on the 207.

The mission of any Longhouse should be to uphold the Great Law of Peace, and to guide the people if they go outside of the Law, as any foreign concept would be destructive to our Nation, and could have negative impacts on the rest of the Confederacy. The counselling process is not just for show, each matter counselled upon is judged on its own merits. The Great Law of Peace is an astringent and universal law that is to last for all time to come, as it is based on the universe’s harmony and interdependence. This interdependence is reminded to us in our ceremonies and our laws, as it is our guideline of how to function in society peacefully, and how to manage our environment.

As many of us are aware, “the Mohawk Nation Office at Kahnawà:ke serves as the Secretariat for the People of the Longhouse at Kahnawà:ke,” and was mandated “in 1987, by the People of the Longhouse to establish facilities and to operate a secretariat with the intent of re-establishing the full functions of Nationhood.”

And the Rotinonhsón:ni Confederacy is responsible to council on matters of family when

the community and gives back to the community.

The basic arguments put forwards by groups like the Haudenosaunee Trade Collective are fundamental and foundational to the Onkwehon:we outlook, and advocated for by respected academics and historians such as Rick Hill (whose interview can be seen on the HTC website at http://www. htradecollective.com).

The Canadian government can pass Bill C-10, but its another matter to enforce it. If

any one of our Nations fail to come to one mind on a matter of common concern; particularly on matters of families consisting of children who are being exiled.

When the Clan Mothers (who represent the minds of the women gathered) have lost the ability to manage our families and land, then we are at a time of desperate need for guidance and mediation.

Kahnawà:ke is 1/8 of a Nation (Kahnawà:ke, Ahkwesáhsne, Ganienkeh, Kanehsatà:ke, Tyendinaga, Ohswé:ken, Wáhta and Kana’tsoharé:ke). The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation Council consists of three Clans: Turtle, Wolf and Bear. Each Clan has a special function through heredity of their matrilineal characteristic birth traits or through adoption. The Turtle Clan (Validators/ Mediators) validates that the matter at hand qualifies to be counselled on.

The Wolf Clan (Initiators of matters) prepares and presents the matter to the Bear Clan (the Deliberators). The Bear Clan deliberates on the matter, and either identifies the inconsistency or agrees that the matter is consistent with the Great Law of Peace to the Wolf Clan. Once the final matter has reached consensus, the Wolf Clan addresses the Turtle Clan for validation, if their response is consistent with

the government wants to proceed with raids on the territory, there is every likelihood that force will be met with force as a simple matter of self-defense. Tobacco production is so bound in to the economic reality of the community, that the people as a whole will support the industry. And pro-actively speaking, the political response from the Six Nations tobacco industry has been to link up more closely with the Confederacy and to come up with a Haudenos-

the Great Law of Peace, or if there is a need for mediation (only if the Wolves’ and the Bears’ response was inconsistent with the Great Law of Peace).

Once consensus is reached by all three clans, the women’s authority (represented by the Clan Mothers) being the central point of consciousness, should be re-affirmed.

It should be noted that the Clans co-operate in the counselling process, where each person uses their voice, and consensus is represented by the Chiefs when communicating the concluded response to our sisters and brothers of the other Clans; this is true democracy. There is NO debating, voting, referendums, or elections, as that is a competitive and divisive process of man-made democracy that is inconsistent with the Great Law of Peace, as the counselling process is a fair process, where all facts and/or persons involved or directly affected by an issue are to be heard while the council of the Clans are in session; allowing for informed decisions to be made. To attain justice, all decisions are based on the three founding principles in accordance with the Great Law of peace—Peace, Strength and Righteousness.

aunee regulatory system for tobacco – outside of the Canadian system altogether.

Now that Bill C-10 is going to become law, Onkwehon:we communities are well aware of what’s coming and are preparing for the consequences. Like many of Harper’s attacks on native rights, Bill C-10 may hasten the political “facts on the ground” that Harper sought to avoid by proposing this Bill in the first place.

Hunting Season at Six Nations

Participants in last weekend's Atonhetseriyo workshops enjoyed spectacular weekend weather in helping Skyler and Kahsenniyo Williams build their family earth ship using sustainable building techniques. The workshop was kid friendly, and the day's efforts were enjoyed by all. Construction continues this weekend at 2687 Fifth Line, and those wishing to contribute or to find out more are encouraged to stop by.

From previous page Should all three (community’s general council, nation council and grand council) attempts at resolving a matter (in Kahnawà:ke’s case, whether the discarding of families is just or not) fail, then we are to subject ourselves to the two equal, but opposite powers of creation (Tharonhiawá:kon and Shawís:kara) through the Bowl Game (Kaientowá:nen) for the outcome of the decision; which is final and would go through the formal process to be made official. The weapons of war that were used against our own (in Kahnawà:ke’s case, threats, personal attacks, vandalism, stone throwing, etc.) shall never be raised again.

Our history tells of an Onkwehón:we man, Tekanawí:ta who was born with great abilities such as a heightened spiritual consciousness and spiritual power that led him to share his recognition of the universes harmony and interdependence with the warring nations of his time of how to organize our minds as ONE. This brought healing to our families; even though at war with each other.

The health and safety of our women and children should be a priority.

Orihwiio’ón:we/Sincerely, Cheryl Diabo, Kahawinóntie Wakhskaré:wake born of the bear clan family Tehana’karí:ne

Its hunting season on Six Nations. Time for us good Onkwehon:we men to get out our spotlights, 4x4s, quads and blood hounds!

Creep around the neighbourhoods in the middle of the night, surround the blocks in our 4x4s, send in the dogs and call ourselves hunters.

“There’s a deer! Call the boys! Get the dogs!

Who cares whose property it is? Let’s chase them all clear off the territory!

It’s all about me! Boom!

I’m a good hunter!”

You think this sounds a little bit foolish? This is actually the way it is on Six Nations. There is not very much respect on the territory for wildlife or each other.

If you travel to other territories, they only need to go behind their homes to take a deer. They don’t spot or run bloodhounds.

A couple of the other territories are making new laws where you have to sign in to their nation offices before you enter their woods. And guess why? “Men” from Six Nations are going there spotting and shooting ten to twenty deer a night.

Really? Who do we think we are? Going to someone else’s homeland and doing things like this.

I pretty much sank in my

chair, I was so embarrassed and ashamed to hear such a thing. “‘Men’ from Six Nations” is what they said. It passed through their tribal councils.

It’s 2014. What is wrong with us? Go to Subway or McDonalds if you’re that hungry. If you have money for all that, why can’t you get groceries? Instead, you go and get 48 deer.

I guess the question is: what’s it all about? The need to kill, or the need to make yourself feel better by killing animals? Maybe there are some deeper issues we are not addressing getting taken out on the deer. Maybe if we all worked together as a community and a nation, there would be no need to do all these disrespectful things to nature and the wildlife on our territory.

Maybe the deer would come back if we respected the woods and our territory and each other a lot more. Our children’s children would have a lot more than we do.

But if we keep on this path, no one’s going to have anything. We as Onkwehon:we people are supposed to be the protectors of the land.

Even the little piece of the earth we have left.

Whether it is laziness or greed, there’s definitely something wrong in our community.

I love Six Nations. It’s

been my home all my life, and I’m very proud to be a part of the community.

But this is what happens every fall. I’m certain there is a better way. If we respected the deer and each other, we could change our attitudes and methods. There would be a lot more for everyone.

Police report on bomb hoax

Dear Editors, The members of the Six Nations Police Service would like to thank community members and community agencies for their patience and cooperation during last week’s bomb scare in the village.

In particular, Little & Littler Treasures Daycare, J.C. Hill School, the staff at Village Café, Sharp Bus lines and our brother and sister Emergency Services responders. All reacted in a manner that helped maintain calm and order during a potentially chaotic situation.

As reported, the suspicious object was not a bomb, but was certainly intended to look like one. While there is much unsubstantiated speculation and opinion as to the purpose of this hoax, the truth is, at this point we don’t know.

While the object itself required some effort to put together, it certainly didn’t require any level of expertise. That means we could be looking at something as stupid as a prank or as ominous as a threat.

If it was intended as a threat towards a specific individual, it may have the unexpected consequences of being deemed as a threat against our entire community.

Whether a prank or a threat, the parents and children at the daycare and schools were made to feel unsafe. The staff and patrons of the café and village residents must have also felt at risk.

While we don’t have any answers right now, we will be working diligently to determine who is responsible and why.

We are fortunate to have the resources of the Ontario Provincial Police at our disposal, as well as a standing offer of assistance from the RCMP. Anyone with any information pertaining to activity at or around the Village Café yesterday, or information that may be relevant to this incident is asked to call either the Six Nations Police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

I write because I’m free

By Nahnda Garlow One of my favorite singers of all time is Mahalia Jackson. For those of you who have never heard her do yourself a favor, hop on the Google and check her out. Type in Mahalia Jackson – How I Got Over and press play. You’ll be glad you listened to this beautiful lady – they called her the “Queen of Gospel” – one of the most powerful black gospel singers of the 20th century.

Mahalia Jackson was blessed with the voice of an angel and in spite of living a life filled with pain, she recognized that her voice was a gift from God, and used it to passionately declare her love for God and their journey in life together. She marched on Washington and was

at the Lincoln Memorial standing side by side with Martin Luther King Jr. when he gave his “I Have a Dream...” speech.

In fact, there would have been no dream speech if not for Mahalia. When he was speaking she shouted out to him from the crowd... “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” The rest is history.

One of her most famous songs is called “His Eye is On the Sparrow”.

You’ve probably heard it.

It was famously covered

by Lauryn Hill in the Sister Act movies. Whenever times get tough in my life, I find myself turning back to this song over and over. I’ll share with you the lyrics.

“Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely and low for heaven

and home? When Jesus is my portion: my constant friend is He. His eyes is on the little sparrow and I know He cares for you and me. His eyes is on the little sparrow and I know God is watching over you and me. I sing because my soul is happy. I sing because I’m free. Oh His eyes is on the little old sparrow – and I know He’s watching over you and me.”

When someone can sing a song with so much passion that you absolutely believe every word they are saying, that is a gift. I’ve read a bit about the personal pain that Mahalia Jackson lived through. A similar upbringing that many of my ancestors endured through residential school. And yet, that beautiful voice sang through the accumulated

pain of her sufferings and blessed many.

I’ve been thinking a lot about overcoming pain and moving forward away from this pain identity I embraced as a “cancer patient” and feel like just now, two and half years later, I am ready to embrace being a survivor. But this is a difficult task. As ironic as it sounds, sometimes remaining in the dwelling place with our pain is far more comfortable than growing past it and embracing whatever the future hold. I am on the cusp. I can see it, I can feel it, and in the greater sense it seems that many others in our Six Nations community are there too.

I’m part of an online collective of moms who want to do good for our indigenous kids. We want to grow holisitic little Haudenosaune humans;

we want them to have access to the best education, the best foods and natural medicines, the best opportunity to live balanced lives walking out indigenous well-being and we want them to be able to make Six Nations the best community to live in. And yet, in pursuing that dream I have to admit that there is still a small part of me that is nervous to abandon the comfort of my rez-cred and fully embrace a full and better life for my kids...without sacraficing a part of my identity.

Have I become too comfortable in our collective pain and poverty to grow? God help me to never be the originator of my own stagnation.

As I’ve been pondering these things lately, I keep coming back to these songs. This black woman who was re-

nowned during a time when it was nearly a crime to be dark skinned and not be a slave. Yet she sings so passionately, “...I sing because I’m free...” and something hits me in the centre of my guts.

God, the Creator of all things had a purpose, an intention and a thing to do with her voice. That is when I realize that He Who Created Our Bodies has a thing to do with all of our voices. Whether we are columnists, gospel singers, gas pumpers, cigarette makers, welders, social workers, band councilors, confederacy chiefs, students, children, or elders: there is something lined up for us to do. We just have to have the bravery to step into it and allow Him to lead us in that good way.

Pumpkin Not Just for Pie, Oh My!

By Joe Farrell In my experience, fall brings an initial obsession with everything pumpkin, but the novelty usually fades as the season progresses. Very few think about the different ways of preserving pumpkin or how to store it properly to get through the winter. Also, their use is typically limited to pies and carving.

In the kitchen, pumpkins shouldn’t be limited just to filling pies. They have a wide range of culinary uses including and not limited to soups, stews, sauces, smoothies, and juices. As I already mentioned a couple weeks ago, I enjoy a lightly seasoned pumpkin pie.

In a soup, however I am open to more spice and seasoning that compliments the pumpkin while

not overpowering it. In general spices should be used to enhance, compliment, or sometimes contrast – but should not be relied upon to disguise the essence of good quality local seasonal ingredients, such as pumpkin.

Pumpkin flesh is high in dietary fibre, vitamin A and potassium. Aside from the health benefits of the low calorie pumpkin flesh itself, the seeds hold many health properties on their own. Raw pumpkin seeds can help to rid the body of internal parasites. Raw or toasted pumpkin seeds are also great sources of protein, iron, and magnesium.

Magnesium helps the body to better absorb calcium. The seeds are also high in vitamin E and B. The recipe below one of many ways I like to enjoy the many delicious

flavours and health properties of pumpkin.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

D D D D D D D D D D

Pie Pumpkin Onion Garlic Ginger Cinnamon Nutmeg Sage Unsalted Butter 35% Cream Apples cut in matchsticks

Cut pumpkins in half, scoop out seeds and the pulp-like stringy bit in the middle. Wash and dry the seeds then set them aside.

Place pumpkins flesh side down with olive oil on a baking sheet seasoned with salt and pepper. Roast at 400F until

tender and caramelized.

This step makes a huge difference in the depth of flavour of the end product. If you’re pressed for time however, simply peel and then boil the pumpkin.

Reduce oven to 350F and roast pumpkin seeds coated lightly with oil and a pinch of sea salt until golden brown, about 10 – 15 minutes.

In a pot cook onions,

garlic and a small amount of ginger in butter. Add pumpkin and water (or vegetable stock if available) and bring to a boil.

Add nutmeg and cinnamon. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes. Puree soup or simply mash until desired consistency. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Add in a splash of sweet cream to finish the soup.

In a small sauce pot brown butter on low heat until it starts to turn brown. Add sage leaves and turn off heat. Remove sage leaves, place on paper towel, should be crispy like you deep fried them and season with salt.

Drizzle brown butter over soup and garnish with apples, pumpkin seeds and sage. Enjoy!

Pro-Fit Corvairs take 3 of 4 points

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Ancaster Avalanche gave the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs fits Monday night at the Haldimand Centre in Caledonia, but in the end, the Corvairs prevailed with a 4-3 shoot-out win.

It also took extra time to determine a winner in Saturday night’s game in Kitchener, with the Dutchmen recording the 4-3 win, in OT over the Corvairs.

All in all, the Corvairs took three of a possible four points this week in GOJHL action to move into sole possession of third place with a record of 7-2-1.

Monday’s Thanksgiving game was a very evenly-matched contest, with both teams showing moments of greatness and moments of early season shakiness as teams fine-tune their rosters.

Ryan Moran opened the scoring for Caledonia at 1:59, assisted by Cosimo Fontana and Jake Brown. Cole Nagy evened the score on a Kitchener powerplay with assists going to Luke Zupan and Luke Triemstra at 13:18, with Brown off for interference. Then, with

25 seconds remaining in the period, Ancaster took the lead when Ryan Cox found room behind Caledonia starter, Kevin Entmaa.

The Corvairs refused to let that stand. Connor Bramwell answered with five seconds left, sending the teams to the dressing room tied at 2-2. Nagy netted the only goal of the second period at 9:54 to give the visitors the lead.

With assists from Nathan Gomes and Moran, Tyler Lapore tied

the game at 3-3, where the score would stay until the end of regulation time.

Once again, the Corvairs were making Blake

Richards, the opposition goaltender, look good with many low percentage shots throughout the game, to outshoot Ancaster 45-25.

There was no decision after the OT period, taking the game into a shootout, where Bramwell finally beat Richards on Caledonia’s 6th shot for the win.

After a 2-1 first period deficit on Saturday night in Kitchener, Bramwell played an important role in the Corvairs’ comeback win by scoring the game-tying goal with two seconds remaining in regulation time.

Dutchmen Jordan Delaurier and Connor Cole put Kitchener ahead, 2-0 before Austin McEneny connected from Jordan Peacock at 16:06.

Adam Kawalac restored the Kitchener two goal margin 12 seconds into the second period,

assisted by Cole and Keegan Calder.

Cosimo Fontana chipped one back from McEneny and Connor Patton at 2:17. Still, they could not find the equalizer until 19:58 with Bramwell’s last-second goal.

At 1:51 of the OT period, Keegan Calder put the win on the Kitchener side of the ledger, assisted by Kyle Ellis and Mitchell Smith.

This week’s games include a Friday night visit to Pelham to face the new, 0-11 Pirates, and a rematch with the Avalanche in Ancaster Saturday night.

Six Nations to hold community wide lacrosse celebration

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS – Lacrosse history has been made in Six Nations with four teams achieving provincial titles at the highest level of Lacrosse. No other community in Canada has ever achieved such a high level of victory in Lacrosse. Three out of four local teams then went on to win their national title, with the fourth team coming in second in their division.

The Jr. B Rebels took first place winning the Founders Cup and the Jr. A Arrows won the Minto Cup. The Sr. B Rivermen came in second for the Presidents Cup, and the Sr. A Chiefs brought home the Mann Cup. This historic event has gained community-wide attention and support.

Therefore,

the Six Nations Elected Council is planning a huge celebration and will be hosting a pot luck style luncheon with all four lacrosse teams, their friends, family, and community members who have supported them throughout the season on Saturday, November 15, 2014 from 2-7pm at the Community Hall, 1738 Fourth Line Rd, Ohsweken. There will also be speeches by team personnel, community members, and the Six Nations Elected Chief, Ava Hill. Afterwards, there will be a fundraising dance at the Hungarian Hall in Brantford at 395 Park Rd N, Brantford. Funds raised will go towards an organization within the community.

Another Jamieson wins a championship

By Rochester Knighthawks staff SIMCOE – Cole Jamieson, the brother of Rochester Knighthawks star Cody Jamieson, earned another championship for his Six Nations’ family.

Cole captured the Simcoe Ontario Provincial Championship Monday night with his dad in the Pit Crew and his lacrosse-playing brother in his cheering section.

“It feels great to see him win. I see the hard work and late hours he puts in building these cars, and the time away from his family all night,” said Cody. “I probably feel as good as when he does seeing me win. We are close brothers, and we love seeing each other happy.”

Cole’s victory capped off an incredible year for the Jamieson family. In September, Cody Jamieson became the second player in team history to win the National Lacrosse League’s Most

Valuable Player Award.

Jamieson, who was also named a First Team AllPro, also won the 2014 NLL scoring title with 108 points.

The fourth-year pro helped lead the Knighthawks to the top of the East Division and second in the NLL with a 14-4 overall record.

The Rochester assistant captain also captured the second Team MVP Award of his career.

For the third

straight postseason, Jamieson led the Knighthawks in playoff points, finishing second in the league with 22. In the NLL Champion’s Cup series, he scored four goals and added five assists in three games as Rochester became the first team to three-peat in NLL history. Jamieson, 27, also won his second straight Mann Cup with the Six Nations Chiefs in early September, leading all players with 26 points

(12+14) in six games.

On Monday, Cole joined his younger brother by raising a championship Cup. Cole held off Simcoe’s Soren Coulson and Ottawa’s Ron Boyer to capture the 2014 Williams Cup. Jamieson advanced to the finals after finishing second in his heat at the event held at the Norfolk County Fair.

Born: Burlington, ON Last year’s team: Caledonia Corvairs

Position: Defence/Left Wing Age 17 – born 1997 Born: Stoney Creek, ON Last year’s team: Hamilton Minor

In his second season with us, we look for big things from this big man. Jordan is attending McMaster University part-time, while seeking a UCLA offer.

With a strong playoff in our Sutherland Cup year, Jordan has schools looking at him now for possible scholarship deals.

The future is bright for this young, aggressive player.

Jacob prefers defense, but can play the wing if needed. He is a great skater with an impressive game. Jacob will have NCAA scouts watching him this year.

Born: Penetanguishene, ON Last year’s team: Caledonia Corvairs Scott is back for his 3rd year with the Corvairs and if he puts his mind to it, he will be one of the elite power forwards in the league.

Born: Waterdown, ON Last year’s team: Caledonia Corvairs Abe’s back for his 3rd season as a Corvair and has been rewarded by being named this year’s captain.

Justin is a hard-nosed, stay at home rearguard who plays an honest game – night in and night out. He may be one of the toughest players in the league.

Born: Etobicoke, ON Last year’s team: Caledonia Corvairs

Connor is a talented left-winger who started this season by getting the game-winning goal in our season opener at St. Catharines. He’s big and strong and the puck seems to follow him on the ice.

We look for big things from Brammer this year.

After a great first season, “The General” is back to defend the Provincial Championship he helped win last season. Connor leads by his actions on the ice and has been given the “A” to wear this year.

#17 Daniel Puglese

#23 Nathan Gomes Position: Left Wing Age 18 – born 1996 Hgt: 5’11” Weight: 180 lb.

Position: Goalie Age 20 – born 1994 Hgt: 6’3” Weight: 205 lb.

Born: Toronto, ON Last year’s team: Thorold Blackhawks

Jayme is showing signs of becoming one of our league’s premier defencemen.

Although this season is early, Jayme is showing more offensive potential than last year and continues to play his solid defensive game. The best of this young man’s talent is yet to be shown.

Brendan is another quality goaltender that wanted to make Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs his place to play in his last year of Jr. hockey, and we’re really happy he did. As good of a goalie as he is, he is an even better young man.

Born: Ancaster, ON Last year’s team: Caledonia Corvairs

Cosimo is a highly skilled winger who also pays special attention to his defensive role on the ice.

He scored the last goal of the year in our Sutherland Cup quest last year, thus allowing Caledonia to clinch the Cup.

Jake is another highly skilled forward who, when he brings his “A” game, is a threat every time he hits the ice. We hope this second year player brings a level of competitive consistency every night and finishes with a big year.

Big things are expected from this second year rearguard. He skates well and has a high hockey I.Q. while playing a solid defense. We are also looking for Todd to use his leadership skills to help form this year’s squad.

#97 Austin McEneny Position: Defence Age 17 – born 1997 Hgt: 5’10” Weight: 175 lb.

Born: Waterdown, ON Last year’s team: Blyth Academy He reminds us of a young Brandon Montour, and that’s a pretty good compliment.

Bush is probably one of the most skilled players in the Corvairs lineup. This fifth round draft of the London Knights has all the tools to succeed in hockey. We are lucky to have him this season.

Kevin is a highly skilled goalie who plays a very technical game. He’s come from Aurora to join the Corvair family. Kevin is looking to secure a NCAA scholarship this season, and with his talent level it is very possible.

Brandon has huge abilities.

When he brings it to the ice, he is a force to be reckoned with. Brandon possesses a good shot from the point, and we hope that he’ll have a solid season with the ProFit Corvairs.

Autumn and driving seem to be tailor-made for one another, and they can be if motorists exercise caution when driving near fallen leaves.

Falling leaves present a beautiful safety hazard

By TRT Staff Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of colour and fall from the trees is a favourite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colourful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country.

While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in var-

ious ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves.

Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint.

Auto

Part s

It’s important to manually pick leaves off of the car’s surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle.

Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time.

Leaves that fall can

notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling.

Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and off-ramps more carefully.

Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure

curbs or street markings.

Leaves may fill potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them.

Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways.

become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding flow and causing odours. Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove any leaves that are imbedded in the venting.

Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe.

The power and benefits of deep breathing

By Amanda Lipinski, SOADI Toronto Region Breath and water are two things we humans cannot live without. We are made up of 70% water.

The earth is made up of 70% water. We are a part of Mother Earth and we breathe like she does.

Watch the waves as they roll up on the shore. That is her inhale. When she exhales the waves recede.

Our breath should mimic that of Mother Earth. When you inhale, let your belly, diaphragm and lungs rise and fill with fresh, renewed energy. When you exhale, let your lungs, diaphragm and belly fall, getting rid of all the old, stale energy you no longer need.

There are many benefits of deep breathing.

Deep breathing cleanses

and circulates our bloodstream. It increases our energy levels; it carries nutrients through the body; energizes our organs and muscles; helps us to think more clearly and exercise and move more efficiently. Deep breathing also helps to calm our nerves and mind and it gets rid of old energy that no longer serves us, detoxifying and releasing toxins.

When we are stressed we usually tend to take quick, shallow breaths which result in tiredness, anxiety, increased blood pressure and heart rate and irritability. Learning to breathe properly will lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax the body and mind and lower the level of stress hormones in your body.

Here are some breathing exercises you can try,

Abdominal Breathing

Benefits: Relaxes the entire body, slows down heart rate and blood pressure, massages abdominal organs, improves respiration

1. Begin in a relaxed position, either laying down or sitting up.

Bring your awareness to your breathing, noticing any tension in the body or breath and begin to let it go. Thoughts will come through – acknowledge them, then let them go. Relax your body, relax your face, keep your mouth closed and eyes, too, if you wish.

2. Inhale through

your nose, allowing your breath to fall deep into the body so you feel your abdomen and chest rise, as you exhale through your nose, feel the chest and abdomen lower.

3. Allow the length of your inhales to match the length of your exhales. Your breathing will become rhythmic like the waves of the ocean flowing in and out.

your nose for the count of 5. Feel your belly, lungs and chest rise. Hold for the count of 5, then exhale slowly through your nose for the count of 5.

3. Repeat 5 times.

5 Count Breath Benefits: Relaxes the body & mind, increases oxygen in the body 1. Begin in a relaxed position, either laying down or sitting up. As in abdominal breathing, bring your awareness to your breath, releasing tension and acknowledging thoughts before letting them go. Again, relax your body and face, close your mouth your eyes, if you wish.

Christopher Columbus day renamed as “Day of Indigenous Resistance”

By Telesur Staff This past Sunday, instead of celebrating Christopher Columbus’ non-discovery of the continent in 1492 and the beginning of its so called “civilization,” some Latin American countries are celebrating the Day of the Indigenous Resistance.

Following the 1913 proposal of Faustino Rodriguez San Pedro, the president of the Ibero-American Union, Latin American governments began to pay tribute every October 12 to the “enrichment” that the Spanish mixing with indigenous peoples represented, under the disgraceful name of “Day of Race” - and “Day of Hispanity” in Spain.

However the socalled “discovery” of the Americas caused the worst demographic catastrophe of human history, with around 95 percent of the indigenous population annihilated in the first 130 years of colonization, according to Professor of Anthropolo-

gy Henry Farmer Dobyns – without mentioning the victims from the African continent, some 60 million of whom were sent to the Americas as slaves.

With indigenous people increasingly demanding their rights in the 1980s, the United Nations declared October 12 the International Day of Indigenous Peoples in 1992, ruining what Spain and other countries had called the “International Day of America’s Discovery.”

With the rise of progressive governments in Latin America over the past decade, indigenous peoples have been able to have many of their demands met, including changing the name of the “Day of Race.”

Venezuela was the first country in the region to grant the request under Hugo Chavez’s administration, accepting their suggestion of “Day of Indigenous Resistance” in 2002. Chavez described the previous name “Day of Race” chosen by then President of Venezuela,

Juan Vicente Gomez in 1921, as “discriminatory, racist and pejorative.”

Daniel Ortega’s Sandinista government made Nicaragua the only other country going to change the “Day of Race” to the “Day of Indigenous Resistance” in 2007.

With several exceptions, such as the conservative governments of Paraguay, Colombia and Honduras, for instance, many other countries of the continent have nevertheless changed the infamous name “Day of Race.”

It became the “Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity” in Argentina, after the failure of a legislative project in 2004 to change it to “Day of Resistance of Indigenous Peoples.” Argentina has more than 1,600 indigenous communities, and over a million Argentinian people who claim their indigenous identity according to the National Institution of Indigenous People.

In Chile, where the Mapuche community are still fighting to claim their native lands in the

Kayaneren'ko:wa brought to life in new book

By Nahnda Garlow BRANTFORD – Acclaimed Metis author David Bouchard has teamed up with Six Nations artist Ray Skye, Kanienkeha speaker Frank Miller, and Haudenosaunee musician Joanne Shennandoah to produce The Great Law: Kayaneren’kό:wa, a new book and multimedia presentation bringing the heart of the Great Law into prose.

Bouchard’s work is a two year collaborative effort to publish the “real story of Ayonwatha” – the story of the Great Law – in parallel prose, both Kanienkeha and the English language.

Bouchard did intensive study to learn the intricacies of the story of the Peacemaker, regularly consulting with Skye and Miller for direction and guidance, and ensuring his interpretation addressed the major points while respecting the accuracy of the original story.

Metis author David Bouchard brings The Great Law: Kayaneren'ko:wa, illustrated by Six Nations artist Ray Skye, to prose, presented in both English and Kanienkeha.

Skye’s beautiful illustrations are reason enough to purchase the book. Each one adds great depth to the work, bringing a layer of humanity which helps readers grasp the details of the incredible story of Haudenosaunee peace and confederation. Illustrations include a haunting image of a serpent haired Atotarho, the crooked cannibal who repents his horrific ways and is transformed when he meets the Peacemaker.

The Great Law: Kayaneren’kό:wa also includes a fantastic multimedia component. With the purchase of each book, readers are given an access code to additional online content, featuring a 20 minute compilation video of Skye’s art, complete with narrated contextualization of the story in Mohawk or English recited over Shenandoah’s music. Educators from all nations will find this a valuable resource for presenting an accurate and authentic version of Haudenosaunee culture in an easily digestible time frame and format.

Those interested in obtaining a signed copy of Bouchard’s The Great Law: Kayaneren’kό:wa can head out to the book launch party this Friday, October 17th at 3pm at Goodminds.com Bookstore, 188 Mohawk Street in Brantford. Bouchard, Skye and Miller will all be present for book signing and questions.

fertile south of the country, the day was renamed even more weakly: “Day of the Encounter Between the Two Worlds” in 2000.

In Ecuador, President Rafael Correa changed the name to “Day of Inter-culturality and Pluri-nationality” in 2011.

That same year in Bolivia, President Evo Morales, the first indigenous leader in South America, changed it to “Day of Mourning for the Misery, Diseases and Hunger Brought by the European Invasion of America.”

This year, Salvadorean and Uruguayan indigenous peoples have been demanding a name change from their governments. The Charrua community of Uruguay, for instance, has made the demand since 2010, but has faced strong opposition by conservative sectors. Last month, the National Assembly approved a legislative project, but only changed the name to “Day of Cultural Diversity.”

In El Salvador, social and indigenous organi-

zations presented a legislative project before the parliament, for which the congresspeople of the governing Farabundo Marti Front (FMLN) expressed their support. In June, the congress finally approved a constitutional reform recognizing the existence of indigenous peoples in the country.

Indigenous peoples in Latin America account for about 13 percent of the total population – about 40 million, with around 670 different nations or communities. Most of them are in Mexico, Guatemala, and Andean countries. They all face some level of racism, discrimination and poverty, suffering more than the rest of the population from an unequal access to resources like employment, health and education services, but also deprived of their ancestral lands and natural resources – about 40 percent of rural populations are indigenous, according to the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs.

Recently, however,

the indigenous people have increased their levels of organization, communicating their issues to a larger audience, and have received greater international attention.

The arrival of new progressive governments has also contributed to granting them legal recognition of their basic political, social and economic rights and cultural identity.

Latin American governments will have an important opportunity to show their support for indigenous communities soon, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference hold in Lima in December this year, with the presence of indigenous peoples for the first time in history.

BOOK REVIEW: Bad to the bone, through the heart

By Andre Morriseau Every now and then a book comes along that speaks directly to your heart.

Marala Scott’s Bad to the Bone takes you on a journey that started for David Tuccaro Jr. on Christmas Eve 2006, when the joy of the season turned into pain that changed his life forever.

The 25-year-old Miksew Cree from Fort McMurray, Alberta was diagnosed with late stage three leukemia. The need to belong and understand that belonging, weave their way through the book as David speaks to us of his battle with cancer.

Up until the age of 12, children have a far higher rate of responding to treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) than adults. Faced with these statistics, the doctors on that Christmas Eve were concerned that David wouldn’t live through the night. In the midst of David’s extraordinary battle for life itself, he realizes he has internalized the emotions he felt over his adored mother divorcing his highly successful and sometimes distant father.

His lack of self-esteem had defined his world view, but now the game had changed and he needed to save himself.

Bad To The Bone is a raw handbook for the heart that enlightens readers in nuanced and subtle ways about cancer, hospitals and the people who work in this industry of sadness and hope. Tuccaro shares insight into what it’s like for his 6’2” frame to be treated in a radiation machine designed for children: “In the first position

fight. David dedicated all his remaining strength to countering the side effects and damage of the drugs and treatments for leukemia. Once he’d beaten leukemia, he needed to acknowledge he was in remission. Remission meant he’d only beaten it for now, and the possibility of its return was a dark unknown.

David now had to heal the rest of himself. He had developed an addiction to many of the drugs that helped him fight the pain.

After an intervention by his family, David booked into the Betty Ford Clinic and heeded the holistic teachings of Dr. Gary Ruelas.

I’d lie on my back and stare at the ceiling to find a beach scene and several stickers of Disney characters on the light fixtures.

They were probably there as a distraction for every one of the children that laid on that bed begging for a miracle. I wondered how many little eyes had stared at them in a desperate attempt to forget what they were going through.

It worked for me. I remember staring at the ceiling, realizing I wasn’t feeling any pain.”

These words help the reader to see the world through two sets of eyes – those of the child and the young man. Throughout the book David works to demystify and decode his own deeply personal language, moving between shock and disbelief on one hand and pure joy on the other.

As we follow David’s journey we discover the importance of bone mar-

row transplants. After waiting for months for a bone marrow donor that shared his B+ blood type, one finally showed up. The doctors, however, were not optimistic about David’s bone marrow taking because of his poor health history.

David knew almost nothing about his donor.

All he knew was that a donor has compassion that exceeds the boundaries of life and blocks the door to death for those not ready to walk through it. David was not ready for that; he was, however, ready to

In the years following his bone marrow transplant, David has become a champion for convincing the public of the urgent need for people to donate bone marrow. His story takes us through the uncertainty of finding a bone marrow donor and, after his successful match and procedure, his quest to find and ultimately meet the person who gave him the gift of life.

Bad to the Bone is a story within a story. David Tuccaro Jr. realized that he really wanted to live beyond the demons and insecurities of his youth.

His battle with leukemia brought him face to face

with his acceptance of life and a new reason to live.

The body and soul of this book is his challenge to the world to encourage others to donate bone marrow and save lives.

Reading Bad to the Bone reaches into your heart and gives new meaning to walking in another man’s moccasins. We live his journey through leukemia and, as a result, gain a new perspective through the emotional, physical and spiritual eyes of a young man on a mission of hope.

When good hearts care

By Marc Laferriere MSW, RSW @MarcLaferriere I remember vividly being bullied and harassed as a kid. I was overweight, poor and awkward. I liked to read and got good grades. I also had some family issues that other kids knew about. Some of the kids were awesome about these things and some were very cruel.

I remember getting beaten up more than a few times. I remember getting prank calls from other kids again and again and again until I unplugged all the phones in the house just to get some quiet.

Hoping the quiet could make me feel better and that the kids who did this sort of thing would move on to someone else.

Kids today can’t unplug in the same way. If children want to bully, they can do it online 24/7 on their Facebook wall or someone else’s. The digi-

tal spaces that are so useful are also spaces where bullying and harassment can fester and grow – anonymous, quickly, viral.

According to PREVNet. ca (Canada’s authority on

Cheeseburger

OCTOBER 15TH, 2014

research and resources for bullying prevention), 94% of Canadian youth have a Facebook account.

87% have a cell phone by grade ten. 7 out of every 10 sites our kids visit are social media, and nearly half of the kids who are

classified as “in distress” report involvement in cyber bullying or traditional bullying.

Let this sink in for a second – over 40% of our youth report seeing racist or sexist content online every single day.

And it is not just kids that are victims of this sort of thing. As an adult – even as a social worker – I’ve been bullied in previous work environments and online, by people who should know better. The problem persists in so many facets of our society.

It is easy to feel powerful – especially in anonymous online forums – and it is easy to take advantage of others in these ways.

It is harder to stand up with a good mind and a good heart. But it’s so important that we do.

That’s why I love the #GoodMindsStandUp initiative.

It speaks to empowering all of us to live better lives – whether we are the bully or the bullied. It has a flavor of the language of social justice, but it’s presented in a way that could help anyone of any age.

It also teaches us about healthy relationships and resiliency – two of the most important factors we can promote to

help stop bullying and live more fulfilling and truthful lives. #GoodMindsSt andUp calls on us to act, not hide and ignore as other programs in the past have suggested. In my experience, nothing changes from inactivity. We all have a role to play in creating a better world – one where we can all stand up stronger together.

In the big white tent, the public had the opportunity to meet their local farmers, and sample many types of local produce. Ramona Renaud was checking out the lavender display in the tent.

She was really enjoying the fair, and said, “It's great.

There’s an old time town kind of feel... I love this area.”

The entertainment this year was amazing. Bandaloni, the one-man band of Craig Douglas, comic juggler; and Lucas Wilson, illusionist, all put on several shows each day.

Featured artists and bands included Amy Churm and Indiana Road, Ally Howatt Band, Mark LaForme, Steel City Rovers and several others.

The Sunday night finale was by Brett Baker, who gave the crowd a great show, during which a number of people enjoyed dancing to the music.

Don't wait to talk to your children about cyberbullying

By Newscanada.com A new survey has found that most parents are waiting too long to sit down and discuss the issue of cyberbullying with their children.

The Protecting Canadian Families Online survey, conducted by Leger on behalf of Primus Telecommunications Canada, revealed that 72% of parents say they had already spoken to their children about the dangers of traditional schoolyard bullying by the age of eight.

But when it came to discussing cyberbullying, 35% of parents said they’d only just begun to discuss this issue with their children at that age.

The online survey studied Canadian parents with children between the ages of eight and 16 who had Internet access in their homes. Cyberbullying involves the use of

texts, emails and social networks to intimidate or embarrass others, or to spread harmful gossip.

It can also include breaking into email accounts to send hurtful messages under an assumed identity, according to the national cyberbullying prevention organization PREVNet. As soon as a child can go online, parents should initiate a discussion about online threats, says Brad Fisher, a Primus spokesman and online safety advocate.

“Our survey results send a strong signal that cyberbullying awareness and prevention must become a top priority for parents as soon as their child has access to the internet − whether it’s through a family computer, a smart phone or even a gaming console,” he cautions.

“With the pervasiveness of social media and

texting on cellphones and other devices, the need for education on this issue is more important than ever to help protect families online.”

The survey also found that most parents – 89% – believed their children would tell them if someone was bullying them online. Research from PREVNet, however, indicates that only 8% of teens actually do speak up about incidents of cyberbullying.

“Most children don’t say anything because they don’t think their parents will know what to do, or how to help them,” says Dr. Wendy Craig, PREVNet’s scientific co-director. “But organizations like ours are dedicated to educating parents on this important issue and to providing them with the resources they will need to protect their families online.”
