Documents obtained by the Two Row Times show the Ontario Business Corp. '2438543 Ontario Inc.' was registered under the same address as HDI and falls under the jurisdiction of Ontario. Former jurisdiction does not apply according to the document.
HDI is a registered Ontario Corporation By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS – A recent Corporate Profile Report confirms that the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) is operating as a numbered corporation, registered under the jurisdiction of Ontario as ‘2438543 Ontario Inc.’. Two Row Times obtained documents showing land was purchased on Pauline Johnson Road, just outside the borders of the Six Nations Reserve. The April 2015 purchase occurred between a Brant County resident and a corporation named only as ‘2438543 Ontario Inc.’. Local residents near the Pauline Johnson Road property informed the TRT that the land had been “sold to HDI”. Copies of the land transfer given to TRT did
not name HDI, but instead listed a corporation with the same mailing address as HDI. An online search through the Ministry of Government Services listed ‘2438543 Ontario Inc.’ as a “Corporation under the jurisdiction of Ontario”. Hazel Hill is noted as the Director of the Corporation, which was launched in October of 2014, and identifies Hill as a Canadian resident. Additional research confirmed that on May 27, 2015 a change was submitted to the corporate structure: adding Aaron Detlor as Secretary and Brian Doolittle as President. Both men are also at the core of HDI and are listed on the document as Canadian residents. HDI has publicly stated numerous times they
have been “legislated” by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) as the “administrative arm” of the community’s traditional governing body. However, since the formation of the Confederacy the Haudenosaunee people have stood on the grounds of sovereignty - not being under the jurisdiction of Ontario and that the Haudenosaunee people are not Canadians. HDI has also publicly condemned the Elected Council as merely an extension of the federal government, further declaring the Confederacy is the legimate self-governing body of Haudenosaunee people of the Grand River Territory. Employees of HDI have insisted they are only operating under the
leadership of the HCCC. HDI lawyer Aaron Detlor recently addressed the question of why he is on Six Nations, saying, “… because the Confederacy has asked me to do that work. The Chief’s Council asked me to do the work, so I do the work. I do negotiations. I draft agreements.” HDI has also very publicly stated that registering land under the HDI, would protect and preserve Six Nations sovereignty by not requiring registration under the Ontario Realty Corp. TRT emailed HDI to seek clarification regarding the formation of this corporation operating out of the HDI office at the GREAT building in Ohsweken. HDI media director and publisher of the Turtle
Island News, Lynda Powless, responded to those questions, saying that at the November 2014 meeting of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council, the formation of this corporation “was publicly discussed and a full description given and HCCC approval received (Dec. 24th).” Profile reports for the numbered corporation however, state that the corporation was formed on October 20, 2014; before Powless said the approval was given. Six Nations residents, clan mothers and chiefs the TRT has spoken to seem to know nothing about the corporation and were upset when shown the corporate profile. TRT has also obtained copies of a letter written by HDI Director
Hazel Hill, showing that despite several Canada-wide protests over the controversial Enbridge Pipeline, HDI has engaged with Enbridge to seek some form of financial restitution in exchange for their support. In a letter to Sinia Fazari, the Aboriginal Affairs Advisor for Enbridge, Hill writes regarding Line 9, “In the spirit of good faith, the Haudenosaunee agreed to place its monitors in the project area(s) while Enbridge and the HDI worked through an agreeable process of engagement that would not only meet the obligations of the Crown, but would provide the Haudenosaunee with the required justification of the infringement, and provide CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Six Nations Police Briefs By TRT Staff
POLICE PURSUIT ENDS WITH ARREST OF FEMALE On Friday, July 17, 2015, at 3:25pm, Six Nations Police attempted to pull over a black pickup truck that was involved in an earlier Pursuit with Police (in June of 2015). Six Nations Police attempted to stop the truck on 5th Line Road but the Driver failed to stop for Police, causing a Suspect Apprehension Pursuit to take place. Police pursued the truck to a Cayuga Road address and arrested the female driver. Speeds during the Pursuit, reached 145km/hr. During the course of the arrest, the woman was extremely uncooperative with Police. She continuously yelled obscenities to Police, attempted to flee on foot, and resisted arrest. Nancy Grace LADOUCEUR (ELLIOTT) - 48 years old, is charged with Flight From Police Officer, Dangerous Driving, and Assault with intent to re-
sist arrest, all contrary to the Criminal Code. She was held for a weekend Bail Hearing on Saturday July 18th, 2015 to answer to the charges against her.
SPEEDER CHARGED WITH NUMEROUS OFFENCES On Saturday July 18th, 2015, in the late evening hours, Six Nations Police stopped a red Chevy Monte Carlo in the area of Chiefswood Road and 4th Line, for speeding into the Village of Ohsweken. As the car was recorded to be travelling 120km/ hr in a 60km/hr zone, Police charged the 29 year old Six Nations woman with stunt driving as well as Suspended Driving, Driving without a Licence, and Driving with Wrong licence Plates on the vehicle. POLICE PURSUIT ENDS WITH MALE ARRESTED On Saturday, July 18th, 2015, at approximately 2:00am, Six Nations Police observed a black Ford Fusion, that was involved in an earlier family dispute incident with Haldimand O.P.P. It was reported that
the man involved had fled in the Ford car. Six Nations Police attempted to assist the O.P.P. in getting the car stopped in the Villa Nova Road and Townline Road area, but the Driver failed to stop for Police, causing a Suspect Apprehension Pursuit to take place. Police were unable to get the vehicle stopped and, due to weather and traffic concerns, discontinued the Pursuit. Shortly thereafter, Six Nations Police observed the same car on Townline Road and again, attempted to stop the car. The man intentionally rammed and sideswiped the Police cruiser, losing control and ending up in a field. No injuries were sustained by the Six Nations Officer as a result of the collision. The man sustained minimal injuries as a result of his actions. Police arrested a 22 year old Caledonia man for Dangerous Driving and turned him over to the O.P.P. to answer to the charge against him. WOMAN

The vehicle reportedly left the roadway entering the ditch and rolling over into a ravine. A 34 year old woman from Six Nations had received minor injuries as a result of the rollover and was transported to hospital. The woman was dis-

The total value of the destruction, plus tools seized/destroyed is $3,005,000. Six Nations Police have limited information on Suspects but are continuing to investigate. The woman was released on a Promise to Appear and is to appear in Brantford Court on August 28th, 2015 to answer to the charges against her.

Six Nations to hold first ever on-reserve Pride March By Nahnda Garlow This Saturday the very first Six Nations Pride Parade will be taking place at Veteran’s Park. The event is organized to offer the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer (LGBTQ) Community of Six Nations a welcoming place to celebrate their identity - and an opportunity to express inclusion and friendship with supporters. Six Nations woman Myka Burning, one of the organizers of the event said it arose from a teachable moment with one of her children. “My daughter and I were talking about the LGBTQ community; how they have been hurt and killed and oppressed for a long time because of who they are. This lead into a conversation about Pride Marches and what they are about.” It was then the child asked her mother if there were “gay indians”. Burning said, “I said, ‘of course!’ and she said ‘why don’t we have a pride parade on the reserve to show Indians we care about them!’ and voila — the seed was planted and we just put it out there to see if the community was interested. And boy were they!”
Burning, along with a number of other community members then took to social media, creating a group on Facebook to organize the event and garner support for it. The response was overwhelmingly positive and so far the event is shaping up to be a positive space for all to celebrate inclusion on Six Nations of the Grand River. Burning said, “We’re gathering at 11. We’ll do an opening. Have some people speak on their experiences being gay and aboriginal on and off reserve. A mother’s perspective. A march down Chiefswood and the trail, then back to Veterans Park. There will be drummers/ singers, some booths set up and dancers.” Supporters are set to arrive in Ohsweken this Saturday morning for the historic event. “One thing to note is the massive support we have gotten from outside communities. Hamilton specifically has been one of our biggest champions. Way more supportive than on reserve organizations so far. We have people coming from up north in the Sault, Kettle Point, Toronto, Niagara, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, London,
and Peterborough. The general consensus is people have been dreaming about this and waiting for this.” Burning says that the impression out there is that Six Nations is not a safe place for the LGBTQ community. “There are a lot of people who are nonjudgmental and supportive but there are people still being targeted and harassed and assaulted; physical, sexually and socially.” “People are still having to leave our community to find support and safety,” said Burning. “Our younger generations are committing suicide because of the stigma on reserve about being Indian and being gay. Even in the mainstream there are still barriers for people of colour in the LGBTQ community. They need to know there is support out there. They need to know they are welcome in their own territory. And that they see a support system that reflects who they are as indigenous people.” Six Nations very first pride march will take place at 11am Saturday July 25th, 2015 at Veteran’s Park in Ohsweken.

HDI story from page 2 Enbridge the required free prior and informed consent of the Haudenosaunee.” As the HDI is operating under the authority of the HCCC — any possible agreement that would allow the Enbridge pipeline would be contrary to almost every other First Nation along its’ path who have allied together to stop it. According to their website, the HDI was put in place to “protect Haudeno-
saunee heritage sites” including the Grand River. It would seem an agreement with Enbridge to allow the transport of oil sands bitumen in a tube, which crosses the Grand River at various points, would be counter to the protection of the land and the river itself. More evidence comes forward indicating that communication between the people and the process at HDI is not clear.
Miss Six Nations and TRT Journalist Chezney Martin was present at the reveal of the Tom Longboat Memorial Statue, placed at Harbourfront Centre during the PanAm Games. The statue will be transported to Six Nations after the conclusion of the PanAm Games where it will remain permanently.

87th Annual Border Crossing celebrates Jay Treaty By Chezney Martin The 87th Annual Border Crossing Celebration commenced on Saturday July 18 at Oakes Park in Niagara Falls. As the people attempted to cross the border however, there was a delay at customs. Vice President Bob Douglas of the IDLA addressed the issue at the border, as Douglas and Brian Isaacs were both in the lead of the parade. “I just want to make sure that people are aware of exactly what happened. It wasn’t a mistake on the Indian Defense League’s part, it was a mistake on the organization that was supposed to do the input for where we form the parade. If they got there at quarter to eleven like they were supposed to, not one single solitary part of this would have taken place,” said Douglas, explaining that it had nothing to do with Pan Am security as many suspect.
He explained that the IDLA had meetings with Homeland Security, Canada Border Protection Agency and the British Commissioner prior to holding the celebration. Douglas said that four years ago the IDLA fought against having to register names and birth dates before crossing the border in their parade, but lost due to the worry of terrorism. “How we were able to solve the problem is a lady out of the meeting chose to do the input, so the last year and the year before it worked fine. She showed up prior to where we were setting the parade up; she showed up, she used her computer, she took everybody’s name and date of birth down, and then we started out with ribbon but now we use pipe cleaners for the participants to put on their regalia, so when they walked through we would know they were registered,” said Douglas. However, the lady
Brian Isaacs and Bob Douglas lead the Border Crossing Celebration Parade. SUBMITTED PHOTO named “Stephanie,” called the night before to let Douglas know she would not be available for this year’s celebration, and explained that two others would be on their way to take her place the next day. Douglas said, “Well, at quarter after eleven, no one was there yet.” He further explained that the Niagara Police Department had directed traffic, the lane on the bridge was stopped, and some people participating in the parade had booths
The
they needed to return to, with each participant wanting to continue the parade. “I’m hearing two different stories from the same agency. No one has yet called me to tell me the truth, because no one wants to absorb the responsibility of the mishap that took place,” said Douglas. Douglas explained that he told the border agent that once the computer arrived, the border would have their registra-
tion list. I said ‘this is our inherent right, under the Jay Treaty. From 365 days, boiled down to one day and you want to take that one day away from us? In about fifteen minutes, you’re gonna have an awful lot of people here and it’s gonna cause something that you don’t want, and you can’t handle.’ And I said ‘it’ll just get worse every year, and my advice to you is let ‘em just show their status card as they walk by, and let’s call it a day.’” Thankfully, the border
agreed with Douglas and allowed the parade to carry on. After their arrival at the park, the scheduled Miss IDLA competition and Smoke Dance competition began. Speakers from the Indian Defence League spoke, bringing forth attention to issues at customs during their crossing, while tying in acknowledgement to both the Jay Treaty and continuation of exercising the right to cross borders in North America. A speaker representing the U19 Girls Field Lacrosse Team spoke as well. After her two year reign, Amber Lee passed her crown on to Kyleigh Farmer from Six Nations. Farmer scored the highest out of three categories; interviewing, public speaking and personal introduction, and will be representing as Miss IDLA until July of 2016.

“Who made who? Ain’t nobody told you. Who made who, who made you? Who pick up the bill and who made who?” – AC/DC Who Made Who, 1986 Canada is a super-colony founded upon many myths and fables. The most popular legend amongst uninformed Canadians is that the original people – who we might call the Indians, the Onkwehonwe or the Anishnabek – do not pay tax, and have never paid tax. Without getting into the reasons why indigenous people shouldn’t pay Canadian tax let’s first look at some of the other facts. Here’s one small example. Onkwehonwe ironworkers from Six Nations each pay at minimum $20,000 a year into the Canadian coffers because their work is done off reserve and is therefore taxable, says the Canadian government. Status Indians, according to the Indian Act of Canada, must pay GST on every single purchase that is bought off reserve when using a Status Card at the cash register. They are exempt from the PST portion. Then there is the humiliating moment spent filling out the paperwork and dealing with impatient Canadians tapping their feet while they wait in line. A leakage study done in 2009 showed that Six Nations alone spent $75 million off reserve, in Ontario cities and towns such as Brantford, Caledonia, Hamilton and Hagersville. If a status card was used in each purchase then at least $600,000 in taxes were paid to an imposed foreign Canadian government that year. Remember that the Six Nations were not conquered and their treaties with the Royal Monarch of England still apply by international law. But let’s move on. What were things like in this continent one thousand years ago? If we take a look into the oral history it says that indigenous people paid a whopping 50% income “tax” to their government before the intrusion of the white man. But there are some major differences that need clarification. First of all, there was no form of debt or currency wthin indigenous society – all “taxes” involved food and trade goods. Although wampum has intrinsic value, it was not an ancient Indian coin. Secondly, the common people were equal members of government in a non-hierarchal society so when they gave things to one another it could be considered a “tax”. And finally they say that after the hunting season half of the meat would be gifted to the elderly, and disabled populations. Sometimes the entire hunt or the whole crop was given

Who Made Who?
away which meant a 100% tax rate. This form of taxation was done according to good conscience, or free will and could be considered a tribute of honour. It is still this way in Six Nations society today. There is no law passed down by a great and mighty leader that the people must obey under threat of punishment. But because of the goodness within the hearts of the men and women the Six Nations people still help each other. They pay taxes to each other. So when “Good Canadians” get into the comments section and start labelling indigenous people as freeloaders getting a free ride off their hard work let’s make one thing clear – it is ignorant, unabashed racism. Actually the truth shows the state of affairs in Canada to be quite the contrary. Indigenous people have subsidized the growth of Canada from the very beginning, starting with indigenous blood freely flowing on the fields of Queenston Heights as the Six Nations repelled the American invaders October 13, 1812. Then the Six Nations started the financing of many corporations such as the Canadian Railroad and the Grand River Navigation Company. On top of all of this we must factor in the billions of dollars that are being extracted from indigenous lands. Remember that only 1% of Canada has been lawfully settled. In 2011 the Canadian government received 9 billion in taxes from mining companies alone. How can Canadians tax minerals that they do not own? The Indian Act is preventing ancient countries such as the Āhtawāpiskatowi ininiwak from asserting sovereignty over their own land. This 9 billion should not go directly to Canada because it doesn’t own the land. This is the crux of the European problem. You can’t just take people’s stuff when they aren’t looking. It’s wrong – we teach our children that by age 3. So we can see that indigenous people do pay tax but they are paying it to a foreign government – yet they are portrayed as welfare recipients. And furthermore they would pay taxes to their own governments if they had not been oppressed by legislation and prevented from carrying on their ancient nationalities. Six Nations should have the funds available to them for the very best infrastructures in the world – medical, education and emergency. Attawapiskat should have world class facilities from the billions of dollars worth of resources extracted from their unceded territory. But the sad reality is that our international agreements are being dishonoured, indigenous peoples are paying taxes to the wrong governments and even the “Good Canadians” are still treating us like shit.

Dear Kitty, I am taking a short vacation and wondered if there was anything I could do to get my garden ready for while I am gone away? Thank you, A Gardener Who travels
Dear Gardener Who travels, First of all, have a fabulous vacation. Second, yes there are a few things you can do to have your garden survive and thrive while you are away. A few days before you are ready to leave on vacation clean all the weeds out of your garden. You can thicken up your mulch all over the whole garden. The mulch will hold the moisture in the soil longer. If you can, add a little compost, this ensures your plants get nutrients while you are away. Be sure and harvest any veggies that are ripe. Over ripe veggies sometimes attract unwelcome bugs and you don’t want a bug family to move in while you are away. If possible, the morning before you leave on your trip do a deep water of the entire garden. Its best to do this with a soaker hose to make

sure the entire garden is watered at least 3-4 inches down. This works well if you are going to be gone away for less than a week. It should provide enough water as long a heat wave doesn’t hit. The plants that require more moisture can have plastic jugs put near them, filled with water. When you are getting ready to leave poke a small hole in the plastic jug, the water can slowly drip out. This also works in your planter boxes that are so large you can’t move them. Hanging baskets and small planters can moved to a shadier spot in your yard to help preserve the moisture. All this will work to keep your garden happy while you are away. If you will be away more than 4 or 5 days you might consider asking a fellow gardener or neighbor to stop by and give your plant another deep water. Encourage your garden sitter to harvest any ripe veggies and enjoy them. Unless the weather is extremely hot and overly windy your garden should be happy and waiting for you with a happy green face when you get home!! Happy Vacation Happy Garden, Kitty

This is a very important issue and hopefully we can keep the conversation going.” The issue Bean refers to is violence against Aboriginal women in Canada. The current statistics on Aboriginal women affected by violence are staggering. According to Statistics Canada, the findings from the Gener-
al Social Survey on Victimization in 2009 report that Aboriginal women were three times more likely than non-Aboriginal women to be violently victimized. According to Jennifer Rowe from the Dreamcatcher Foundation, efforts like the food drive can be productive by both supporting local services and opening up the conversation about the grim
reality faced by nearly 70 000 Aboriginal women across the country. “The food drive for the local women’s shelter is important because it not only supports the programs that are utilized by many northern native women, it also helps raise awareness to the epidemic of high risk native women that find themselves in desperate situations,” Rowe said. “I hope
that we were able to keep the conversation going regarding this important issue. It’s time to remove the shame and stigmas associated with victims of all types of violence toward our mothers, sisters and daughters. We were so moved by the generosity of the community and their willingness to donate whatever they could. We’d also like to thank the Two Row Times for all
of their help during the two day event.” Executive Director Debra Vernette expressed gratitude for the donations raised at the food drive in an email to the Two Row Times. “Beendigen would like to thank you for your recent donation to the residents and clients of our programs and services. Your support in our work to ending violence against women is greatly appreciated.” The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation is a registered foundation designated to provide support and address situations unique to the First Nations community.

Akwesasne Mohawk Elected Council sworn in AKWESASNE MOHAWK TERRITORY - The thirteen chiefs who will serve the Akwesasne community for the next three years as the 2015-2018 Mohawk Council were officially sworn into office on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 during a ceremony held at the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk School on Kawehno:ke (Cornwall Island). Following the MCA’s General Election on June 27, 2015, there are seven new faces taking on Council positions, along with several re-elected chiefs. Their new terms begin immediately. The swearing-in ceremony was initially planned to be a large, formal event but in order to respect the recent passing of community members a low-key ceremony was held instead; a larger event with formal presentations and a celebratory meal will be held in the near future. Despite changes to the event’s agenda, the new Council was still welcomed into office with an emotional and uplifting ceremony attended by family members, friends, and outgoing chiefs, including the former Grand Chief Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell. “I want to give each and every one of you encouragement for the work that you’re going to be doing,” he said. “You’ll notice there’s great strength in the wisdom of
our elders because they still carry our language. Part of your responsibility also is to carry that for us… not just books, not just meetings, but the heart and spirit of the community. So I wish you all the best. Good luck. On behalf of the community, we pass this on: May you all look after all our thoughts, carry us in your minds, provide the kind of leadership we all expect from our leaders and may you all stay in good health.” MCA’s Executive Director also offered motivational words for the new Council: “Our organization has 800 individuals working hard - some day and night - for the community and we’ve been working hard for a long time,” said Executive Director Sheree Bonaparte. “We look for leadership; we look for decisions; and I believe the community has chosen the best individuals to come forward at this time…I pledge that the administration, the directors, the managers and the employees will do everything that we can to work with you; to take your joint decisions and to move them forward; to help this community; to help us survive; to help us to lead the lives that we want to lead and stand among the best of the First Nations in North America.” The newly-elect-
MCA Elected Council of 2015. ed Council is comprised of one Grand Chief and twelve District Chiefs. Grand Chief Abram Benedict is a resident of Kawehno:ke (Cornwall Island) and has served on Council as a Kawehno:ke District Chief for the past three terms (nine years). The twelve District Chiefs, four for each of the three Akwesasne districts, are: Tsi Snaihne (Snye) A District Chiefsut- o Joe Lazore, Karen Loran, April Adams-Phillips and Connie Lazore. des Tra Kana:takon (St. Regis) District Chiefs - Steve Thomas, Timothy “DoolParts Jaey” Thompson, Ryan cobs and Darryl Lazore.

Akwesasne Justice Shannon Hall conducted the Oath of Office to each Council member before having them sign pledges, which affirmed the roles and responsibilities of a chief. Grand Chief Abram Benedict gave his first official speech in his new position and welcomed his fellow Council members, providing some insight as to what direction he hopes to see MCA and the community move in.

the next year, I intend to work with Council to engage the community to identify the top priorities. We know that the needs and wants are great, but we must work together to identify the most pressing and urgent needs. It’s evident that we have the ability to develop well thought out plans, plans for job creation, plans for community infrastructure, and plans for language revitalization, just to name a few. Our solu-
tions will start from the ground up and not from the top down, and we will engage with you to develop highly effective lobbying strategies and plans of actions to execute.” “I know that together we are going to lead by example and we will make a difference for the generations to come.” Congrat ulations, good luck and best wishes to the new Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Chiefs.

Wapakeka First Nation grads a Kahnawake Chief & Council sign demonstration of hope and dedication Declaration of Office WAPEKEKA FIRST NATION — Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, Wiindaw tegow inini travelled with a delegation from Nishnawbe Aski Nation to participate in graduation celebrations in Wapekeka First Nation where only months ago the community’s school was devastated by a fire. During the initial response to the fire, Ontario Regional Chief Day attended a meeting with the community leaders where they were insistent that Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada must have an immediate replacement of the school. “This graduation signals a sign of hope for the children of the First Nation and is a clear demonstration of the strength of the resolve that parents, community professionals and leadership have for their children,” said Ontario
Regional Chief Day. One major concern that the community expressed when the fire leveled the school was for the impact that the incident could have had on the emotional state of the children. It became clear to the federal government during visits that the strongest of the response team to the fire were the children of Wapekeka. With the support of Chief and Council, community crisis responders and the parents, the children demonstrated the highest degree of determination and resolve in their petition to the federal government. “I am very proud of the students, the community and everyone involved in responding to this crisis. They persevered and gave all of us a deep sense of pride,” said Chief Brennan Sainnawap. Community leaders continue to maintain ed-
ucation services to their students and continue to maintain pressure on the federal government to meet timelines for a replacement that is expected to be complete within two years. “My congratulations go out to the children of Wapekeka for their efforts, results and the hope that they give to all of us is second to none. Their perseverance and attitude toward crisis can only come from a community with strong faith and love for each other. When children succeed with education, their communities become strengthened, when this occurs we all become stronger as Nations,” concluded Ontario Regional Chief Day. The community has been successful in setting the proper proposals for both a temporary and permanent school replacing the destroyed building.
KAHNAWAKE — The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke’s newly-elected Chief & Council unanimously signed the Declaration of Office last month, marking the first official meeting of the 2015-2018 term of office. Joseph Tokwiro Norton returned to the office of Grand Chief after an eleven year absence. He had previously served as Grand Chief from 19782004. Arlene Jacobs also returned to Council for the first time in nine years. The other 10 Chiefs were all incumbents. “We pretty much hit the ground running,”
said Grand Chief Norton. “There is a lot to catch up on and a lot of work to do, so the next few weeks are going to be especially busy. Fortunately, there is a lot of consistency at the table. Everyone’s been here before, even Arlene and I.” “I’d like to acknowledge Mike Delisle and Lloyd Phillips for their hard work and dedication for the past several years,” Norton added. “Lloyd was first elected in 1996 and Mike in 1998, so there is a lot of experience that we have to make up for. We wish them well.”

Good minds meet over good food By Joe Farrell Last week I had the pleasure of cooking for a group of professionals that were meeting to discuss the student nutrition programming at Six Nations schools. Inspired by what they were talking about I prepared a menu that I feel reflected the content of their discussion. I hope the locally grown food helped root their aspirations in love of life and land that good food can nourish. I am always amazed at the responses I receive when serving food that seems more complicated than it actually is. One person was intrigued by my dessert offering, she was appreciative that each ingredient in the dish contrasted in flavour yet resulted in a harmonious experience. The dessert I served was simply
fresh sweet, sour cherries, apricots, fresh cheese and maple syrup. I added some sunflower seeds as a garnish for a variation in texture. I’ll be cooking again this Wednesday night, July 22 at Six Nations Polytechnic. The event starts at 5pm. It is a community event about food and nutrition programming for elementary and secondary school students. I’m looking forward to hearing what families have to say about food served in schools. Also, curious to explore the relationship of feeding good minds with good food for future generations.
Stone Fruit with Maple Syrup
• • •
Any stone fruit, pitted Maple Syrup Fresh Cheese
Optional: Mint, Nuts or Seeds
Pit the fruit and place in a bowl. Cover with maple syrup and let sit in syrup for several hours. This process can be referred to as maceration. This will slightly alter the texture of the fruit, making it slightly more tender. Also some of the flavours will be exchanged between the fruit and syrup. For some fruit like apricots or peaches, I may remove the skin from the first with a plunge in boiling water and an immediate shock in ice water. Then I will cut them in my desired shape and size and let sit in the syrup. Before serving I may reduce the syrup to a thicker consistency and then once cooled slightly, spoon it onto the plate. To serve I simply place the syrup on the plate, add the

fruit and garnish with the fresh cheese and my other garnishes. Variation: Try grilling or charring large stone
fruit immediately before plating the dessert without letting them sit in the syrup first.

Perfect day for a Grand Opening TRT STAFF
SIX NATIONS – The sun was out Saturday and so were the well wishers and bargain hunters at the official grand opening of the all-new River Range Gas Bar at 3819 6th Line Road, Ohsweken. Vintage cars, free giveaways including Ohsweken Speedway tickets, a barbeque and even bouncy castles and free balloons for the kids were a part of the day-long festivities celebrating the new gas bar and variety
store. “We are very pleased with the support from the community,” said manager Amy Henry on Tuesday afternoon. “It sure was busy and I’m still going.” She said that the business has been brisk and steady all weekend. The gas bar itself first opened Nov. 28th, but the Variety store element opened later. “We didn’t want to do a Grand Opening in the winter,” Henry says. “So we waited for the good weather.”
The turnout was better than originally planned and co-owner Glenn Styres had to visit his Ohsweken Speedway concession for more burgers and buns at one point. River Range Gas Bar is owned by Lesley and Greg Isaacs and Glenn Styres who wish to thank those who attended, and invite those who were unable to, to drop by and say hi.

Video game review: EVE Online (PC Windows, Mac OS, GNU/Linux)
Capitalism and super-colonies in space By Jonathan Garlow
NEW EDEN – 21 thousand years into the future humans have used up the resources of not just the earth but the entire Milky Way galaxy. With nothing left to eat and nowhere to go the future of humanity looked pretty dim until a wormhole opened up leading to an unknown and unexplored galaxy named “New Eden”. Brave adventurers crossed the galactic depths to form colonies on the other side of the opening and things were going well until it collapsed and severed the ties to civilization. Thousands of years have passed by and the colonies have forgotten their ancient ties to the Milky Way and a little planet called Earth. From the first colonies five distinct societies rose to power with capability for interstellar spaceflight-travel. The states based around these colonies make up the five major factions in Eve Online: the Amarr Empire, the Caldari State, the Gallente Federation, the Minmatar Republic and the
EVE Online boasts a world record for longest video game battle ever recorded - a grueling 21 hours of combat - during the blood bath of B-R5RB. 7,158 ships were destroyed including 75 titan capital ships. The value of this digital content was $300,000 in real world currency. Google it. Jove Directorate. Although the game was released in 2003, it has had major updates and revisions through the years and is still heavily played by thousands and thousands of people. EVE has spawned its own counter-culture and cult following. This summer the publisher of EVE Online is offering a one month free trial to recruit new players into the online galaxies. This game is a player driven, persistent world (MMORPG) set in a science fiction space setting. Characters can pilot cus-
tomizable ships through a galaxy of 7,800 star systems. The star systems contain moons, planets, stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and complexes. Sounds great doesn’t it? The problem with EVE is that it is very hit or miss with new players. It’s such a complex and complicated video game – more of a space simulation really. – that new players can get lost. The variety of things you can do inside the EVE universe is mind boggling. It’s the epitome of sand box gaming. The artistic render-
The Six Nations Fire Department presents
ings of stars, nebulas and asteroids are simply astounding. If you liked watching Interstellar this game is worth it for the graphics alone. Additionally the soundtrack for
EVE compares with a major motion picture release and it seems like the score never repeats itself. Although the galactic battles are amazing, EVE Online offers more than just space combat. There are tedious yet lucrative professions like trading, mining and production. Which means you can buy and sell for profit on the player based auction house. It’s like Kijiji in space. You can become highly skilled at building spaceships and selling them for profit – space aged cut throat capitalism. Or perhaps you want to become a pirate and hijack other players for their precious spaceship cargo, you can do that. Some players focus on exploring
Find us on
the universe and push the limits by discovering new galaxies in spaceships especially suited for that. The learning curve is the highest of all games I’ve ever played except for perhaps Dwarf Fortress but this also makes the end result much more rewarding. Not recommended for casual gamers looking for a quick thrill but someone with a lot of time to invest. Extensive reading and research is required. Taking advantage of the free month trial is worth it and if you like the EVE Online experience you can subscribe for approximately $15 per month. Go to www.eveonline.com

Fun and life skills the goal of Youth Football Camp By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – It’s hard not to notice Jim Warne and even harder not to look up to him. His physical stature is like a tree but his heart for Aboriginal Youth stands even taller. Warne was at the Six Nations fields in Ohsweken this past weekend conducting the inaugural Six Nations Thunder Football Camp for Six Nations youth. Cindy Martin helped organize the first ever camp in cooperation Jim Warne’s Football and Life Skills Camps for Indian Country through his Warrior Society Development, LLC Youth Division. The former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle is a member of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Nation. His mother, Beverly, was born and raised on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Kyle, South Dakota. Like his father Jim Sr., he grew up in Tempe, Arizona. Jim earned a B.S. from Arizona State University and a M.S. from San Diego State University. He has also earned a post-graduate certificate in Rehabilitation Administration
with 21 Ph.D. level units. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Northern Colorado. He is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and has appeared in several feature length movies and TV shows. Warne played his college ball at Arizona State and played in the 1987 Rose Bowl against Michigan. He also appeared in the Hula Bowl All-star Game and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals as an offensive tackle. “I’ve been called a professional journeyman because I bounced around several teams but I refer to myself as a professional refugee, playing in three different pro leagues,” he laughs. But his ambition in life is to help young Native athletes overcome their shyness, develop physically and learn good nutritional habits to prepare them for high school and college as well as life in general using football as his tool of choice. “I started out doing a thing called Native Vision with the NFL Players Association,” says Warne during a break
Six Nations young people got to meet and learn both football and life skills from former NFL player Jimmy Warne this past weekend. It was the first seed-planting event to go towards Cindy Martin's goal to bring youth football back to Six Nations. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE at Sunday’s camp. “They do a great camp every year, about 500-700 kids come, but what I wanted to do was to get to the communities where kids can’t travel or raise the funds to get there. That’s why I do a lot of rez-hoping these days. Last week I was at Seneca for the 8th annual camp.” It was there that Cindy Martin met and worked with Warne at his camp and asked him to bring his camp to Six Nations. “It’s my third year working with Jim at Cat-
taraugus,” says Martin. “I usually provide the nutrition component and physical activity.” She has witnessed the positive impact Warne’s camps provide to Aboriginal Youth and was pleased with the turnout and the attentiveness of the campers. “It’s not every day you get to meet and hang out with an ex-NFL player,” she says. “Now that we’ve had a trial run, with more fundraising and support, the bigger and better it’s going to be.”
Like Warne, Martin believes sports can be a great teachers of life skills that will prepare them for high school by helping them get over their shyness and learn how to work together. This being the first trial camp at Six Nations, it was small by comparison to his more established camps, but Warne see’s great potential, especially in a community so steeped in lacrosse. The Six Nations Thunder Football Camp attracted about 20 kids between 5-18 years in
its first attempt. Warne asks the older campers to be inclusive with the little ones and act as coaches on the field during light scrimmages where it is not about winning and losing, but inclusion and encouragement. “By keeping the drills fun, the kids don’t realize how hard they are working,” he says. “Especially the obstacle course they are really challenging themselves to get a better time each run and get it right. They are having a blast, but they really are working hard.” The Jimmy Warne Football, Athletic and Life Skills Camps reflects a holistic approach with education on nutrition, culture, knowing your language, respecting elders, anti-bullying and the need to stay in school and apply oneself. Warne conducts Football and Life Skills Camps for Indian Country through his Warrior Society Development, LLC Youth Division. For more information go to war r ior foundat ion@ gmain.com.

Chiefs stay just ahead of Peterborough Lakers By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Last Tuesday night, July 14th, the Six Nations Chiefs hosted the Brampton Excelsiors 1311 at the ILA and recorded their 13th win against only two losses, good enough for first place in the OLA Sr. A Major Series. The big showdown happened this Tuesday night July 21st, between the Chiefs and the second place Peterborough Lakers. Unfortunately, the results missed our Tuesday night deadline. The Chiefs did not get a free ride this time against the Excelsiors whom Six Nations demolished 22-14 in their previous matchup July 9th. Brampton is in a battle with Oakville for third place and better playoff positioning and offered a
strong game against the double Mann Cup Champions. Once again, Ryan Benesch, Jeff Shattler and Dhane Smith powered the Chiefs, who have been without scoring machine Cody Jamieson all season while recovered from a hamstring injury he sustain in the NLL Championship series as a member of the Rochester Knighthawks. Benesch scored first 48 seconds into the game and Smith made it 2-0 seconds later at 1:08. Benesch scored again to put a threegoal cushion under the lead, but Brampton fought back to end the first period with the Chiefs leading 3-2. Randy Staats took the momentum back in the second period, but only for a while as the Excelsiors pounded in the next two to
even the score at 4-4. Kasey Biernes began a five-goal run in which Benesch scored his third of the game, and Shattler added three second period goals to end the middle frame with the Chiefs in control with a 9-4 lead. The Excelsiors would not go away and launched a comeback rally in the third after Shattler netted his fourth of the game early in the third. But the 7-4 Brampton third period was two goals shy of overtime and the Chiefs made it out of Brampton with the two points. In total Shattler scored five and assisted on one, Benesch scored three and assisted on two as did Dhane Smith. Staats scored one and assisted on two. Wednesday night, July 22nd, the Chiefs are on the road against the Brooklin
Rivermen face Titans in Sr. B semi's
Redmen. On Monday, July 27th the regular season in Oakville against the Rock.
(Right) Even without Cody Jamieson in the lineup, the Six Nations Chiefs are holding down first place as Ryan Benesch, Dhane Smith and Jeff Shattler have filled the void. Colin Doyle has also been out of the lineup as he and Jamieson recover from NLL injuries. Doyle is now back but not 100% and Jamieson will likely be out for the rest of the season.

Arrows draw first blood against Whitby Jamieson turned aside 32 of 37 Warriors shots. In the other semi-final series, Peterborough went up 1-0 after an 11-7 Peterborough win at the Peterborough Memorial Centre, also on Monday night. The Arrows Express drew first blood at 4:53 when Jackson Reid scored from Jordan Durston and James Rahe. Dallas John made it 2-0 from Durston and Bendan Bomberry. But Six Nations seemed to lose focus near the end of the first period when Whitby scored three goals in a minute and a half to end the first 20 minutes ahead of the Minto Cup defending Arrows 3-2. Austin Staats eventually evened the game at the halfway mark of the second period from Rahe and John. Bryce Yetman restored the Whitby lead at 15:37 before Rahe and Bomberry closed the second period with the Arrows ahead
by one 5-4. Jamieson and DeGirolamo put on a show in the third period frustrating attackers throughout the final 20 minutes. Yetman beat Jamieson to tie the game once again, at 11:38, but with 5:30 remaining, Rahe found the key to DeGirolamo’s cage and scored what would prove to be the game winner. The Arrows special teams made the difference, making good on three of six odd man advantages while keeping the Warriors powerplay to 0-4. The series shifted to Whitby Tuesday for Game #2, with Game #3 backed at the ILA, Thursday night, July 23rd, at 8 pm. Game #4 is in Whitby on Saturday with Game #5, if necessary, at Six Nations Sunday, July 26th, at 7 pm. If needed, Game #6 will be in Whitby, Tuesday, July 28 and Game #7 at the ILA, July 30th.
Warriors hold off Wilmot rally
Rebels and Northmen in semi-finals
By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Whitby Warriors brought their best to the ILA to open the best-ofseven OLA Jr. A semi-finals, Monday night and came very close to taking Game #1 at the ILA. But the Arrows Express prevailed in the low scoring 6-5 series opener. Both goaltenders, Doug Jamieson for Six Nations and Mike DeGirolamo for Whitby, were sensational in making the shooters work for whatever they got. In the end, DeGirolamo made 42 saves on 48 shots and
By Jim Windle WILMOT – After taking a 6-0 lead at the halfway point in the game Wednesday night, the Jr. C Six Nations Warriors thought they had the game in the bag. They didn’t. The Wild began to chip away at the lead and by the end of the second period, they carved that into a three goal deficit, still behind but much closer at 7-4. The Warriors turned it up in the third and produced a 10-5 lead with 11 minutes left to play. But once again, with everything on the line, the Wild
rallied with the last four goals of the game, unfortunately for them, it was one goal short as the Warriors took the 10-9 win and the series. Bradley Hill scored three on the night and Bailey Skye two with single goals going to Chauncey Hill, Wesley Whitlow, Vern Hill, Tyler Brown, and Lyle Hill. The Western Finals begin against the Fergus Thistles. No dates were set by press time. In the East, the Clarington Shamrocks eliminated the Huntsville Hawks and will face off against Peterborough who eliminated the Cornwall Centics. The OLA Jr. A Finals will see the winners of the East and West face off for a birth to the Minto Cup Championships.
By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The fourtime Founders Cup winning Six Nations Rebels cleared another hurdle in their quest for five straight Cup wins last Friday when they eliminated the Windsor Clippers in Jr. B lacrosse action at the ILA. They will now take on the Orangeville Northmen in the Western Finals who got past the Niagara Thunderhawks three games to two. The Northmen and the Rebels faced each other last season, winning the semi-final three games to one before defeating the Halton Hills Bulldogs for the Ontario Championship. The winners will face the winners of the East, which will be decided between the Oakville Buzz and the Akwesasne Indians. The Rebels’ schedule is not posted as of press time.

Ted Nolan gave a speech to an enthusiastic crowd at the Grand Opening for the Sother Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative headquarters in Thorold, Ontario. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Defeating diabetes using indigenous knowledge By Nahnda Garlow About 100 people gathered at the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the new head office location of the Southern Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiatives (SOADI) in Thorold, Ontario. The organization also hosted a talk by Ojibwe athlete Ted Nolan, a former professional hockey player and head coach of the Buffalo Sabres. Nolan shared with those in attendance the story of losing half his twelve person family to diabetes. Nolan said of the five remaining family members he has, three of them are diabetic. Nolan shared that he also had a personal scare with diabetes showing as pre-diabetic on medical testing. It was through education and altering his diet and exercise plan that actually helped Nolan overcome his condition and return to holistic well-being. Nolan said, “A lot of it is genes, but a lot of it is lifestyle.” He added that informing people about how educating people makes long lasting change

In loving memory of my brother Jason Curley who passed away July 23, 2000, my dear friend Heather Finlasin, who passed July 11, 2004 and my brotherin-law, Jason Clause, who passed away July 23, 2004.
I am stuck, lost for words as I sit here and try to write something for ya's. It's been hard as my heart aches and tears flow as I think of each of you. I wish so much you all were back here in this lifetime. I want to physically see and hug you all. I want to hear your voices, laughs and jokes. I want to have a conversation, all of us. I want us to go bowling or play endless games of horse shoes, I want us to play baseball again, watch a hockey game or get together for a fun time, supper or BBQ. I want us to have coffee, go for breakfast or even go have a cold one or two. I want us to sit around to play cards, watch more movies or just chill and shoot the breeze. I want us to... etc, etc. With all the wants, memories and pictures I have of us it seems a lot of times, that's just not enough. Tears always build up and start falling as my heart feels so hurt, empty and lost. As anger sets in, so does the slow hurt feeling, the reality that each of you have been taken away. The hurting reality, the pain inside will go on forever as I deeply and sadly miss each of you. I love you Jay, Heather and Jason, you are my trio! Forever… in mind, spirit and especially in my heart. Your sister Trace

Walking through the doors, a hand was the first thing I saw, From there, I didn't need a face to view. In a daze, silent tears fell, and I hugged you really tight, I did not want us to be physically forever apart. Deep down inside I felt so empty and lost, As if someone had just tore out a piece of my heart. To see you lying there so lifeless, Slowly kicking in, was the hurting reality, You were gone and soon I'd never see you again. My big brother was really taken from me. To leave you that night was really hard, A lot tougher than anyone will ever know. My true emotions, I had to, and will forever hide, Like you, I will put on a show. The day had come, and we lay you to rest, I whispered see ya, for I will never say good-bye, With every memory I hold, I will create a new life with you, In mind, heart, and spirit, you will always be by my side. I hurt so much; I desperately want you back, To be somewhere. anywhere in this lifetime with me, I long for those unexpected visits and phone calls. How my tears fall, knowing they will never again be. I can't explain the loss I feel. All I know is my heart aches with a throbbing pain, I will always pray that when it is my time to go, I'll get the chance to live a life with you again. May your journey be a peaceful, happy and loving one, For you deserve a lot more than you felt you didn't have here, I 'm glad to say you don't have to feel anymore pain inside, And you are free to do "The Dance" with no more crying tears. There will be so many times I will think of you, I will always ask for a favour from our Creator above, To guide and take care of the special person that you are; And I will also send my ever-lasting love. I will forever love and miss you, Jason, The sadness and pain of your absence will forever be. You will forever be on my mind and in my heart, Just how much, nobody knows but me. I love you Jay, From Trace
