According to the Haudenosaunee Development Institute's media advisor, director or liaison person, Lynda Powless, the HDI in fact have opened talks with Enbridge seeking some form of financial reward for approving their pipeline work on Haudenosaunee Territory.

HDI talks with Enbridge despite huge oil spills

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — Judging by the growing environmental disasters created by oil pipelines cross-crossing Turtle Island, the Haudenosaunee Development Institute’s “conversations” with Enbridge, and any other oil sands venture, may turn out to be a matter of money before morals.

News out of Rapid City South Dakota reveals growing Native concerns over a massive oil spill of bitumen from the Alberta oil-sands, which has sparked further protest

by Yankton and Rosebud Sioux tribes and non-Native environmentalists allies.

The “black snake”, which is what area tribes call the TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL Pipeline, was protested after the Chinese-owned Plains Midstream Pipeline leaked an estimated 1.5 million gallons of toxic diluted dilbit (diluted bitumen) just south of Ft. McMurray before the leak was finally repaired.

The spill surpasses that of the largest inland oil spill ever in the United States, the Enbridge oil spill, which polluted Michigan’s Kalamazoo River in 2010, and is still the subject expensive and troublesome cleanup efforts.

It is not the first and most certainly not the last time the Chinese-owned company has had to clean up its mess. The Ft. McMurray spill by China National Offshore Oil Corp.

Ltd., as well as for the May 19 pipeline rupture near Santa Barbara, California, which dumped 100,000

gallons of oil, closing Pacific Ocean beaches for a month, are only a few of the larger spills reported.

Another report says that between 1999 and 2010 Enbridge had 804 spills that dumped 161,000 barrels of oil onto lands and into water.

The total number of barrels of oil spilled in 2010 alone was 34,122, the equivalent of more than one million U.S. gallons.

Line 6B, at Romeoville, Ill. spilled 9,000 barrels, or more than 250,000 gallons of crude into an industrial area.

Enbridge Line 9, which runs through Kingston on its route between Sarnia and Montreal, and will cross the Grand River was built with the same corroded protective coating as suspected as the cause of the Romeoville spill.

The Keystone XL tarsands crude-oil pipeline is planned across 314 miles of Lakota Territory, through the South Dakota counties of Harding, Butte, Perkins, Meade, Pennington, Haakon, Jones, Lyman and Tripp.

According to Associated Press, Owe Aku (Bring Back the Way) founder Debra White Plume, one of the promoters of the actions to prevent pipeline expansion, submitted testimony to the commission, noting that all the tribes in South Dakota have said “no” to the Keystone XL Pipeline.

“Now it is your turn to say no,” she said. The line would cross many important parts of the Mississippi watershed, as well as community water supplies, she said.

Pipeline spills across indigenous territories have raised concerns about plans to cross the Grand River with the bitumen pipe locally.

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), representing the people near the Ft. Mc-

Murray spill, spoke out against the increasing mining and transportation of tar-sands oil in its

ancestral territories, including the boreal forests of Alberta.

“A spill this size into

the muskeg, which is an important part of the eco-system in the region and houses many of our medicines, berries and habitat for species our people rely on for sustenance, is extremely serious,” AFCN Chief Allan Adam stated in the Associated Press release.

Enbridge will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Six Nations Tourism Building in the Assembly Room between 3 pm and 7 pm. The reason for the meeting is to calm local concerns about the safety of their pipelines.

Anishinaabe Water Walkers march against Energy East Pipeline KENORA – More than 40 walkers have covered 100 km of the route that TransCanada wants to use for the Energy East Pipeline project that will pump tarsands bitumen through a 40 year old gas pipeline where it crosses and threatens more than a dozen waterways in Treaty 3 Territory.

The Anishinaabe Water Walk, organized by Grassroots Indigenous Water Defence (GIWD), marched through downtown Kenora, and were joined by supporters for a rally, continuing to their final destination at Shoal Lake 39.

A press release for the walkers states: “With the Federal election campaign having commenced, and with TransCanada pushing ‘divide and conquer’ “communication and engagement funding agreements” (CEFA) on cash-strapped First Nations revealing a deeply flawed consultation framework, grassroots Indigenous voices that can hold government accountable to Treaties that affirm inherent Indigenous rights are positioned as a powerful voice against. Supporting those grassroots Indigenous voices right now is one of the most effective things

rations—the very people who stand to profit from these environmentally destructive projects,” says Clayton Thomas-Muller, Indigenous Climate Campaigner for 350.org, who has been on the Walk for its entirety.

“The Anishinaabe Water Walk in Treaty 3 Territory against the path of the Energy East Pipeline project is one of the most important grassroots initiatives to support in this major fight to protect our water, land and collective rights against the agenda of big oil and the Harper government,” says Thomas-Muller. “It will be up to those grassroots voices to decide whether or not this

“The walk has created awareness, unity, and a stronger connection to one another as well as to the lands, waters, and to our responsibilities as the Anishinaabeg who are in-

“The CEFA consultation deals that TransCanada is using to manipulate First Nations Band Councils and Treaty advocacy groups exemplify the way that the Federal Government is devolving their fiduciary and legal obligations like the Duty to Consult with Indigenous Nations to giant corpo-

The Kenora rally and walk was organized by Transitions Initiative Kenora.

“It is startlingly clear that we are at a breaking point environmentally; not only our water, but all it is connected to is at risk,” says Ashley Bennet, a member of TIK. “The Indigenous Women who are leading the Water Walk are

Introducing the Real Gustafsen Lake Story

By Doug Whitlow intro by Jim Windle SURREY, B.C. — A few weeks ago the TRT published an article on the Gustafsen Lake stand-off of 1995 in British Columbia.

Much of the information for that story came from a book recently published, which outlines how the mainstream media were used by the RCMP and politicians to spin doctor the story to keep the truth from the public.

There were also notes from an interview with one of the main characters in the story, known as “Wolverine” which the author of the TRT article referred to.

Since then, we were contacted by Doug Whitlow who, at the time of the event, was a reporter for a Douglas University newspaper and covered the 18-month trial for that university paper, “The Other Press”.

He said that because the mainstream media was still being manipulated, many details brought out in the trial never made it into the mainstream.

"We cannot call ourselves a nation if we don't want to defend what is rightfully ours." Wolverine, Defenders of the Land, 1995 Whitlow has agreed to publish in the Two Row Times a series of articles revealing what really happened at Gustafson Lake as he saw and heard it.

Introduction About the Author: In 1995, Doug Whitlow was enrolled in the Criminology

Program at Douglas College in New Westminster, B.C. In April of 1995 he began a work practicum at the Vancouver Aboriginal Justice Centre where the Grand Chief Bernard Charles of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and the Semiahmoo Reserve was staff lawyer. He and Whitlow became fast

friends as they had many mutual friends and acquaintances in the field of justice both federal and local.

It was at this time the situation at Gustafsen Lake began to emerge, which Whitlow became quite familiar with.

He writes, “As events surrounding the incident

began to escalate, “Splitting the Sky” a Mohawk Activist and spokesperson for the embattled occupants at the lake hit the newsstands.

Calls came in to the Justice Centre for information on Splitting the Sky. Who was he? Where did he come from? I had never heard of him before this and neither

did my family or friends in Ontario.”

He went by the Onkwehonwe name, “Dacajewaya, which was shortened to simply “Doc”. Later, he told Whitlow he was from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, but no one seemed to know him there either.

Whitlow got to know some of the key figures in the standoff and when the trial began, he spent countless hours and burned through dozens of notepads covering the event for the university newspaper as it was revealed under oath.

Now, 18 years later, Whitlow would like to see the real events of this shameful political cover up and outrageous military and RCMP operation revealed. Whitlow has future plans of publishing a book on the incident using his own notes and eyewitness testimony.

Watch for Whitlow’s “The Real Gustefson Lake Story” column in this publication over the following weeks.

TWO ROW TIMES

300 years of bad zoning In the 1990’s there was a video game called SimCity. The premise of this game put the player as the mayor of an undeveloped patch of land and it was your job to take a budget and create a bustling metropolis.

Good players would zone commercial areas near the water for high land values and industrial sites away from the housing zones. Bad players would build their cities like Brantford and put their polluted industrial and landfill areas right beside their water source (Grand River) and housing project (Eagle Place). Not to mention a Sewage Treatment Plant.

How did it get like this?

When Joseph Brant arrived with 448 Mohawks and 1395 “Such Others” he forded the Grand River and established the original settlement. That is where the name Brantford comes from. ‘Her Majesty’s Chapel to the Mohawks’ was built in 1785 as a form of restitution for the millions of acres of land we forsook in Upper New York State.

Gee Thanks.

Then, the Church and the Crown in a moment of brilliant clairvoyance decided to spruce things up in 1835 and erected an Institute beside the Mohawk settlement. They called it the Mohawk Institute. We called it the mush hole because it was a pit of filth.

Now decades go by and meetings take place. The Mohawks and Such Others are moved onto what was called Reserve Number 40 Tuscarora Township by the Dominion of Canada. We called it Six Nations and now it has become a place to get cheap gas and cigarettes, but let’s digress.

Since there has been no apology or official explaination we have to create a fantastic scenario. Perhaps a secret meeting took place in which the Illuminati, the Pope and the Queen presided over a boardroom full of aged men in black robes as they passed a fateful decree. Let’s imagine up some of the words that were spoken: “Ahem, so now we must decide upon the issue of these….

Indians. They hath travelled downstream a fortnight’s journey and although a handful has remained we must do something about them. Doth anyone have ideas? Jerome? Eugenio?”

“We could dump our refuse and excrement into the water and they would eventually have to drink it…”

“Yesss Father Adolfo, YESSSS! Make it so.”

When you live in Ohsweken and constantly have to deal with boil water advisories and sewage spillages in the Grand River it’s hard not to think meetings like this have taken place. Why in the world would anyone zone a landfill beside a river AND a Royal historic site? Not to mention an ancient Onkwehonwe settlement that must have thousands of artifacts and valuable relics from the past.

And then down Mohawk Street there is the brownfield site, sandwiching the poor Woodland Cultural Centre between disgusting dump smells and toxic waste infused land. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brantford someday decides to build an experimental cold fusion power plant beside the dump and we can have a good ol’ fashioned Chernobyl on our most precious land as a cherry on top.

If it was only a video game we could laugh about it but this is reality for native people – 300 years of bad zoning.

Letters to the Editor

Happy in Hagersville Dear Editor, I picked up a copy of Two Row Times at the Tim Horton’s in Hagersville, and spent my coffee time reading your interesting newspaper.

I’m not too conversant on AFN politics, although from news media sources it would seem that National Chief Bellegarde is not too happy with the Harper government, with, for example, generally insufficient funding, and changes in the so-called Fair Elections Act, which make it more difficult for First Nations to express their voice.

So I was pleased to read the headline on page 10 that the “(Six Nations) Polytechnic gets $1.4m shot in the arm.” Imagine my surprise/horror to read in the article that the money came “from the Conservative Party of Canada.” It seems that your local MP is a conservative, and I know that Aboriginal Affairs is a federal Ministry; should it not have been reported that the gift was from the Government of Canada, from all Canadians (including me!), and not from a political party that’s heading into an election and trying to look good to everyone?

This government has muddied the waters before with government money being associated with the Conservative logo. They would obviously wish for everyone to think that it is they who are “giving away” money, and not the Government of Canada.

They do not need any help from you. (Is that why Jim Windle is identified as “Reporter”?!)

Yours sincerely, Allan Clark

You are right. Corrected.

Open letter to HDI A group of community members have set up an emergency meeting

on Thursday August 13th 2015 at 7pm in the Social Services Gym, inviting HCCC and requesting HDI to come sit on a panel to answer community questions.

We will be submitting questions in writing, all other questions that arise from the meeting are at community members’ discretion.

Questions will be directed to HDI members specifically, there is to be no use of abusive language and harsh tones. The truth need not be dug for or uncovered, I trust this will be ample time to prepare.

Regards, Cheyenne Williams.

Questions If HDI addresses mail to to 2634 6th line why does the HCCC website use P.O. Box 777? What is this P.O. Box used for? Why are some Chiefs unaware of this P.O. Box? Detlor has openly stated he is not HCCC’s lawyer yet in an Ontario Energy Board cost claim he lists himself as legal counsel. If HDI represents the Chiefs how then is legal counsel not representative of the Chiefs?

If Detlor works solely for HDI why is there a cost claim to the HCCC for $2,641 for professional fees?

Why is HDI using a corporation to acquire lands?

Since this corporation has been incorporated since October 2014 why did HDI not make Ontario aware that HCCC already had the means necessary via this corporation to take possession of Burtch?

Why was the incorporation not public knowledge as of its incorporation date instead of after the corporate profile was published?

Detlor also stated in council that the HCCC had reactivated its land registry system, why then are lands on Pauline Johnson registered to Brant County?

The 2014 audit report lists a land lease of $220,000. Why does this money go to HDI and not into a bank account held by HCCC? People’s land = people’s money.

The rental agreement from 2014 to 2015 jumps $14,481. What

is the cause for this cost increase?

Was a jump of $29,979 from 20142019 approved by the HCCC? Was the cost increase fully explained before hand? $280,887 was listed as deferred revenue the transferred to net assets. What was the money deferred for? What % of net assets goes to the HCCC? How many administrative workers were employed in 2014 that would account for only $21,454 in salaries and benefits?

An arrears of $231,052 is recorded. Where is the detailed accounting of the arrears? Where did the money go?

Was this arrears specific to 2014 or have we had arrears in previous years?

Application fees of $283,204 were calculated for 2014, at the max payment of $7,000 that’s 40 1/2 applications paid. Why were these not brought to the people’s attention?

How many of these applications were approved? $49,836 is listed as “Other Revenue” what exactly is other revenue?

Who does HDI negotiate on behalf of: the Chiefs, the Clanmothers, Six Nations Band Membership, residents of Six Nations or all Haudenosaunee citizens?

Who gave them the authority to negotiate on the behalf of those persons?

Has HDI been to Grand Council to gain approval from all Haudenosaunee Councils to negotiate financials for projects on the 1701 treaty lands?

Why should Six Nations territory be the only Chiefs council to get paid for lands our entire confederacy should be benefitting from?

If HDI was not started with any HCCC money does the HCCC own HDI? We would also like to see Aaron Detlor’s retainment agreement as well as a detailed and full ledger of expenses from HDI. We as the confederacy need to see transparency and accountability from those people working for our clan families.

ways and are never going to change. The Peacemaker came across people like this too.

If he had given up on the cannibal, Jigonsaseh, the Mohawks who chopped down the tree he climbed, or Todadaho; where would we be today? Where would we be if he, and others, simply said “that’s just how they are.” As Oren Lyons stated many years ago, “Peace is a dynamic action. Peace is not a passive thing. It requires a lot of effort. You have to work to get peace.

Peace won’t just come to you.”

Bob Antone and Howard Elijah do a great job with their decolonization workshops and have brought it to many of our communities. They give us great reminders of our teachings, and do a great job of tying the past to the present. Eventually they ask the million dollar

question: How do we take our teachings and apply them to our lives today?

Not only are there good guidelines to live by, but there are protocols and procedures in place to restore our definition of peace.

I like the comments of Rick Hill during the Protocols of Peace presentation in New York City in 2010 when he said, “These aren’t just ancient patterns or quaint traditions.

These are the things that were given to our ancestors to do the real work of uplifting our mind, our body, and our spirit, so that we will naturally gravitate to the state of being that the Creator intended, and that’s to be well, and to be at peace.”

I’ve seen the power of peace myself when I was in a bitter conflict with an individual. I never gave up on them, and we acknowledged many past injuries

done, it happened. Someone brought those people together, and those people started to use their minds to solve their differences.

You will hear that peace is not the absence of conflict, but people using their clearest thinking to come to a common ground.

Today our communities are suffering from varying degrees of conflict and indifference between groups as well as individuals, just like the past. We aren’t going around killing one another on a daily basis anymore, and we do indeed have good people doing their best, but we are still suffering.

There is strength in unity, and we need to get back to that. When will we sit down and talk to the people we are in conflict with? Will we address the injuries we are carrying first, so we can see, hear, speak, and think clearly while addressing one another? Will we find the things we DO agree on, as well as inch along on those tough issues that are seemingly immovable?

The thing about the Peacemaker was his initiative. He didn’t just paddle across the river and say “I’m going to wait for them to come to me.” He went to all of our nations.

He sought the fiercest, most dangerous people.

You look at the history of that journey and you will see that the Older Brothers were some of the hardest ones to convince.

I’m sure we can all think of people in our lives who are simply set in their

M HO P “

When I look at where our nations were before the Peacemaker came, I see that he pulled off “mission impossible.” How else can you explain the unification of five nations that could never get even with each other?

Some say it took him a hundred years to bring our nations together, and I believe it. Just look at what had to be overcome. The late Audrey Shenandoah once said the fighting was so bad that people did not know what a natural death was. She said people of that time thought the only way you died was by being killed.

It is a great feat for someone to bring such a powerful message into such hostile territory.

His principles created an institution that still survives today. We still have our share of problems, but our system is still here.

Just the fact that we can still hear The Great Law, in the languages, is a testament to its staying power. But are the lessons a part of our daily lives as Haudenosaunee?

What have we taken away from the last two recitals, and what can we take away from this year?

When the Peacemaker brought his message, he had people starting to consider other ways of thinking and doing. At some point it had to go from admiring his ideas, to makingAu sweeping to changes to how they dealt with one another. They had to start healing from

blood feuds, and I do not think this was done by simply gathering in large crowds and listening to his message. I do not think people sat and heard his message and then went back to their longhouse and started living differently. The lives they were living were part of a war culture, and it didn’t change overnight.

There had to come a time where they had to face each other. They had to face the people who killed their son, their father, or their family. Families that hated one another had to come to the circle and face each other, but no longer in a fight to the death.

One of the things you will hear is the first three strings of the condolence which used to precede treaty negotiations. But these strings were used long before treaties with Europeans. Mary Anne Spencer talked about her Restorative Justice program in Tyendinega and how they were using those first three strings for conflict resolution.

She mentioned that some people were not ready to step into the circle, because they were still carrying old injuries.

They had to be rounded out BEFORE they could step into the circle with their adversary. Given the amount of hostility across our nations in the Peacemakers time, I wonder how many times this wiping of the tears, ears, and clearing the throat, had to be done?

Regardless of how many times this had to be

Dear Ask Kitty, I am not new to gardening, but I have a strange question for you. I feel so good when I am working in my garden, everything is so full and bountiful! Someone told me it is just an escape but I really feel good. What do you think?

Feeling the Garden Love Dear Feeling the Garden Love, Well this is a garden ques-

tion much different than usual. I do have an answer.

Perhaps it is a garden “escape” like a retreat of sorts.

Science however has also proven that working in the garden (with soil) is quantifiably good for your well being.

Of course there are many reasons being in your garden is good for you and makes you feel good, such as connecting with nature.

It’s also a good meditative

we inflicted upon each other. We acknowledged that we are not in that time of conflict anymore, and that it is easier for us to work together rather than to stay at odds. I watched us go from a time when we could not stand being in the same room with each other, to being able to visit, laugh, joke, and discuss our lives. It took at least three years, but it was worth it and it is still an ongoing matter.

One of my closest friends from the Three Affiliated Tribes was right by my side the whole time, and he watched how I used those lessons. He took those lessons and used it when a fraternity openly mocked him and his daughter crossing the street in their Native regalia. He took that lesson again and brought two CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

practice, gentle exercise, it’s fun and it encourages a nurturing connection with life.

Scientist and research have added to this list. It’s a strain of bacterium called MYCOBACTERIUM VACCAE. This unseeable bacterium is found in the soil, you let it in by having your hands in the soil. It also is taken in by the breaths of good soil scent. This bacterium prompts your body to release serotonin which elevates your mood and decreases anxiety. This bacterium can also improve cognitive function. Research is ongoing for this bacterium to someday be used to treat cancer and other illnesses.

So an escape? Maybe. But it is also scientifically beneficial! Not to mention all it’s other good points! So yes working in your garden makes you feel good.

Happily Agreeing with Science, Kitty

Drum beats from the ghetto to the reservation

By Jonathan Garlow What started in the Bronx in the early 1970’s spread from the ghettoes, to the skyscrapers and became a billion dollar industry by the end of the century.

For some people it is more than just music, it’s a culture and a lifestyle called hip hop.

In 1996 the drum sounds had reached the Hobbema reservation in Alberta where MC Rex Smallboy formed the award winning group Warparty. By 1999, hip hop had spread to Six Nations with the formation of Tru Rez Crew, this began a new era of cultural exchange for indigenous youth.

Hip hop actually consists of four elements with DJ ‘turntablism’ being just one. MC rapping is perhaps the most popular aspect of hip hop today but break dancing (B-boying), and graffiti artwork are like the little brothers that go unrecognized.

Hip hop wasn’t always received with open arms on reserves. “Stop acting like the black people, it’s not our way” was a common criticism heard by native youth in the 90’s, but young native rappers were being empowered by hip hop and were eager to share their culture with the world in a different way.

Hellnback a founding member of Warparty made observations on the appeal of hip hop for native youths, “It gives us hope that there’s a different lane to take care of [our] families. Talent is not that rare, it’s the drive that makes us who we are and gentlemen like us are proof that you can make the world listen.”

Iam Drezus a plains cree rapper is part of the new generation of indigenous rap artists and he is gaining mainstream attention. The music video 'Warpath' from his new album Indian Summer has been nominated for Best Music Video in this years 2015 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. You can find it on YouTube.

Ernie Paniccioli is a Cree photographer of hip hop culture who was born in Brooklyn NY and has taken photos of the most famous icons in rap music, from Notorious B.I.G. to Public Enemy for publications such as XXL, New York Times and the Source.

“Hip hop is only the latest incarnation of a

power and an energy that was given to us many many (years ago)” he suggests. Perhaps this would explain the mystical draw that indigenous people feel towards hip hop music?

Recently Six Nations has had its own people in the spotlight. Tru Rez spawned

a generation of artists such as Chief who wrote and performed a song with Snoop Dog. That one song received over a million views in two days on WorldStarHipHop.com.

Tru Rez had the song “I’m A Lucky One” that also has over one milion views on YouTube.

Tim “2oolman” Hill of Six Nations got his start producing songs for Tru Rez and is now a member of A Tribe Called Red and is a professional producer based in Winnipeg. James Blood of Tru Rez is currently writing his highly anticipated solo album, that is already generating buzz.

When asked about a connection between traditional songs and hip hop music, Plains Cree rapper Iam Drezus said, “I feel like anything with a drum is connected because it’s like a heartbeat.”

Both rappers Hellnback and Drezus are long time friends and are both nominated in this year’s Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards and you can find their music on Amazon.ca and iTunes.

So now in 2015 with the mixture of diverse styles and rhythms hip hop is just one of many different beats to the drum. A Tribe Called Red has fused traditional indigenous sounds with Electronic Dance Music (EDM) combining elements of dubstep, hip hop and trap for a mega mix that has been a breakthrough sound reaching across cultural barriers.

This leaves the future open for a new generation of producers on Six Nations. If you know anyone between the ages of 13 and 24 the Youth Empowerment Summit (Y.E.S.) is happening Friday, August 14th. Register your newphews and neices today by calling (519) 445-3030.

AUTHENTIC INSIGHT TO HAUDENOSAUNEE LIFE THROUGH CORN HUSK DOLLS

By Nahnda Garlow Vistors to Six Nations of the Grand River checking into the Six Nations Tourism building are being introduced to the Confederacy of Chiefs, the Gei: Niwage and other aspects of authentic Haudenosaunee culture via the beautiful work of Six Nations Corn Husk Doll maker Betts Doxtator.

Doxtator’s epic work “Encircling Everything” depicting the confederation of the 50 Haudenosaunee Chiefs and 49 Clanmothers of the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga and Seneca is now on display at the Six Nations tourism building for those visitors looking for insight into what it means to be a Haudenosaunee.

“This will set the tone when visitors come to the community.” said Connie Jamieson, Manager at Six Nations Tourism. The new display is part of an initiative within Six Nations

Master artisan Elizabeth "Betts" Doxtator has been crafting cornhusk dolls that was passed down to her through the ancient tradition. SUBMITTED PHOTOS to bring together local artisans to put together a hub of authentic talents and stories respecting cultural protocols within Six Nations to properly

put forward the story of Haudenosaunee history and life to date for visitors travelling to the

territory.

The tradition of corn husk doll making runs deep in Haudeno-

saunee traditions. Doxtator previously shared the legend of the Corn Husk Doll saying, “She was instructed to play with all the children and keep them entertained.

She traveled to many villages and the children loved her. Many people would comment on her beauty. Soon the doll forgot about her duties and spent long hours by the water, admiring her reflection. Her face was removed to remind the people to remain humble and not to become obsessed with appearance, as true beauty is found in fulfilling your commitments.

To this day, the cornhusk doll remains faceless.”’

Doxtator’s work at the Tourism building also includes the use of cornhusk dolls depicting the scenes of the Four Ceremonies that mark the Haudenosaunee ceremonial calendar.

“We want to do more for the school boards,

our own and abroad so they come here and they know the story and then they can see [the community].” said Jamieson.

Jamieson said that Tourism is also seeking other local artisans who would be interested in participating in forming that new display who might not have a gallery space to show their own work and host tour buses. “We would be the avenue, almost like a co-op.” Jamieson said it is a good opportunity to highlight the work of local artisans doing authentic works while Tourism assist with things like marketing and advertising.

Jamieson said that the new display will be in place for a year and that any other artists interested in sharing their talents and works to form the educational display can contact Tourism for more information.

Arrows put strangle hold on Lakers

By Jim Windle

PETERBOROUGH — It could be all over for the Lakers, Wednesday night at the ILA when the poised and determined Six Nations Arrows Express welcome Peterborough for Game #5 of the best-of-seven series.

Monday night they put the Lakers in a mustwin situation with a 13-6 Six Nations win to take a 3-1 hold on the series, in Peterborough.

The Arrows looked loose and confident as several of the team stopped for lunch at the Village Café before boarding the bus to Peterborough.

“We’ll get it done,” was the promise from the table, and they were right.

The Lakers scored 42 seconds into the game, which Ryan Fournier answered at 6:50. Zack Bryant restored the Laker lead. That sparked a five-goal outburst from the Arrows with Jordan Durston, Brendan Bomberry, Durston, Haodais Maracle and James Rahe scoring in order. Jake Fox scored the Lakers second of the period with less

Jordan Durston delivers a perfect over the shoulder pass which resulted in an Arrows goal. He has been hot throughout the playoffs accumulating 15 goals and 28 assists in 15 playoff appearances, as the defending Minto Cup Arrows Express take a 3-1 strangle hold on the series. What could be the OLA Jr A Championship game, with and Arrows win, is set to Wednesday night, August 12, at the ILA. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE than a minute in the first period.

Rahe scored again at 7:53 of the second before Holden Cattoni made it 7-4. The Arrows struck again with a bunch as Rahe, Staats and Bomberry ended the second period with the Arrows in charge, 10-4. Johns, Fournier and Bomberry added to the Arrows 13-6 win.

After the Six Nations Arrows Express pounded the Peterborough Jr. A Lakers 12-9 in Game #1, Aug. 2nd, it was Peterborough’s turn to humiliate their guest in like fashion, 14-4, in Peterborough.

That set up for Game #3, at the ILA, Thursday night.

The Arrows took a 4-0 first period lead on goals by Haodais Maracle,

Brendan Bomberry, Greg Sawl Longboat and Jordan Durston, with Doug Jamieson standing firm in the Arrows net.

Bomberry and Austin Staats kept the Six Nations goals coming early in the second period before Zac Currier and Ethan Walker broke the Arrows string. Longboat finished the period with the Arrows leading 7-2.

Staats and Dallas John closed the scoring for Six Nations in the third, with Dan Michel scoring at 9:43 for the 9-3 final.

Earlier in the series, the Arrows delivered a strong message to all that Game #2 was the fluke, and not Game #1. Haodais Maracle, Brendan Bomberry, Greg Longboat and Jordan Durston did the

honours.

The Arrows continued to find their mark early in the second frame with Bomberry and Austin Staats adding to the lead, 6-0, before the Lakers got out of port. Zac Currier and Ethan Walker got things going for Peterborough late in the period but Greg Sawi Longboat closed it at 19:19.

The score was 7-2 heading into the third when Austin Staats and Dallas John deflated the Lakers hopes for a comeback. Dan Michel scored a nothing goal at 9:43 for the Lakers for the 9-3 final.

Doug Jamieson was especially sharp and along with a strong defensive effort from the Arrows, held the high scoring Lakers to 3 goals.

The defending Minto Cup Champs would like to retain the coveted challis a little longer and feel they have the horses to do so.

Rebels drop two — must win Wednesday

By Jim Windle

AKWESASNE — In Jr. B lacrosse action, the fourtime Founders Cup Champion Six Nations Rebels were hit in the face with a bucket of ice water in Games #1 and #2 of the OLA Jr. B championship finals, Saturday, Aug. 8th and Sunday.

It is hard to recall the last time this franchise lost two games in a row. Saturday the four time Founders Cup Champs lost 11-6 and lost again 15-12 Sunday afternoon Both games were played in Akwesasne to save on travel costs.

The Rebels looked more prepared Sunday scoring the first two goals of the game with Travis Longboat and Mitch Green putting the Rebels ahead by the 2-0 by the 3 minute mrk, but Sky Sunday took one of them back. Kesler Doolittle made it 3-1 before the wheel fell off the Rebel’s wagon.

The Indians suddenly came to life with the next six unanswered goals to dig a 7-3 hole for Six Nations to try and climb their way out of.

The Rebels had better success in the second period outscoring Akwesasne

their Drive-for-five season alive in the best of five series.

The Akwesasne Indians struck quickly and often, taking a 7-0 first period lead. Sky Sunday scored four, two on powerplays, and Russ Oaks scored two.

The single was scored by Skylar Thomas.

The Rebels took the intermission to give their collective heads a shake

If there was any doubt, the four-time Founders Cup winning Six Nations Rebels are human after all. The Rebs were surprised in Akwesasne Saturday and Sunday and now find themselves facing elimination in the best of five series Wednesday at the ILA. FILE PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

6-3 to end the second period trailing by only one goal at 10-9. The Rebels continued to real in the Indians in the third and goals scored by Kevin Owen Hill and Chayton King sent the game into overtime.

The Rebels ran out of steam in the OT period as Akswesasne added the only three goals of the 10

minute extra frame for the 15-12 win.

Because of scheduling issues the first two games were on the road for the Rebels but the series now shifts to the GPA Wednesday night where they hope to have better luck in a more familiar setting.

They will need to win the next three games to keep

Lakers and penalty box eliminate Warriors

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS/PETERBOROUGH – After a great regular season, (baring disciplinary issues with the league which cost them nine wins and home floor advantage) the Six Nations Jr. C Warriors fell apart in the playoffs and were eliminated by the Peterborough Jr. C Lakers 9-4 at the Peterborough Memorial Gardens, Wednesday Aug. 5th.

The Warriors certainly showed they had the individual talent to go further but as a team, they imploded with the penalty box doing as much damage as the Lakers to the Warriors hopes for a Jr. C Championship.

As in the previous two games, Wednesday’s lack of leadership and individual discipline turned the game into yet another fight-filled affair, as was

the case in Games #1 and #2.

The most telling stats in the series were the penalty totals. The Lakers piled up 143 penalty minutes on 43 infractions, while the Warriors earned 201 minutes on 60 infractions.

Wednesday night Jeremy Bomberry, Briley Skye and Spencer Martin scored for Six Nations to stay even with the Lakers. Six Nations was shut out of the second period while Peterborough added two more.

Isaiah Mt. Pleasant netted the last Warriors goal of the game and the season at 8:41 to offer some hope, down by only one with 11 minutes left to make that up. But thoughts turned to matters other than getting that all important tying goal, and the penalty parade began again, robbing the Warriors on any possibility of a momentum shift.

“Well it was a good run,” said general manager Jay Smith in a facebook message. “I am humbled by the experience of being the general manager of a jr. team for the first time ever. Heads high Warriors. Through the adversity we faced this year and to still come out with a medal says something in itself. Thank you for having me aboard.”

and name out looking more like the Rebels, but with a momentous task in front of them.

The Six Nations defense tightened up and Briley Miler found his game in the first half of the second period. Kevin Owen-Hill, Chayton King, and Travis Longboat regained some ground they lost in the first, but there was still 20 minutes left to play

and four goals to catch up needed.

Sunday scored his fifth of the game at 8:26 and Dalston Day put the game out of reach Sunday made it a six goal game for the Indians to lead the Akwesasne charge. Sam Verville was nothing short of amazing in the Akwesasne net turning away 48 of 54 Six Nations shots.

Chiefs in a semi-final battle with Brampton Rivermen and Redmen battle for league title

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — Last Tuesday in a game that missed our deadline, the Mann Cup Champion Six Nations Chiefs opened the Major Series semi-finals with a 9-6 win over the Brampton Excelsiors.

The Chiefs came from behind to win Game #2, 7-6 in Brampton but in Game #3, the Excelsiors pulled out a much needed 7-6 win at the ILA Saturday night.

In the other semi-final series the Peterborough Lakers opened with a 7-5 win over Oakville, followed by a 12-8 Lakers win last Wednesday and a 12-5 Oakville win Saturday.

The Chiefs fell behind 2-1 in the first period Saturday with Brandon Benn and Joe Resetaris opening a 2-0 advantage before Six Nations’ Brandon Goodwin, who appeared in only five games during the regular season, got one back unassisted.

Each team scored four in the second with Jeff Shattler scor-

ing three, two of them powerplay goals, and Ryan Benesch adding the other for the Chiefs.

Mike Burke, scored two for the Excelsiors with Ethan O’Connor and Tyler Fereira adding one each.

Jeff Teat gave the Chiefs a slap in the face at 27 seconds of the third to give the Excelsiors a two-goal edge.

Dhane Smith cashed in on a powerplay situation to close the gap at the halfway point in the period, but the Chiefs could not get another one past Tyler Carlson who faced a total of 44 Six Nations shots while Brandon Miller stopped 32 of 39 he was required to hand.

Thursday, in Brampton, the Excelsiors came out, guns blazing and racked up a 3-0 lead in the first 20 minutes.

The Chiefs came alive in the second and the two locked horns with Six Nations scoring four and the Excelsiors putting three more up to end the second period with Brampton ahead 6-4.

Kasey Beirnes scored two, including

the game winner, while Dave Brock delivered an unassisted marker.

Meanwhile nobody, in a Brampton uniform any way, could breach the Chiefs’ defense and any who did couldn’t fool Dillon Ward in the Six Nations’ net. The Chiefs won it 7-6.

Back in Game #1 of the series, Randy Staats, with four goals and an assist, and Jeff Shattler, with three goals and three assists, were a two man wrecking crew to power the Chiefs past the Excelsiors, 9-6. Stephan Keogh and Johnny Powless fill in the cracks with a goal apiece.

Looking ahead, Tuesday, Aug. 11th, Game #4 is set to go in both semi-final series’. The Chiefs are in Brampton for an 8 pm start, and the Oakville Rock will be visiting the Peterborough Lakers. Game #5 for the Chiefs will be Thursday night at the ILA and an 8 pm start. Should a Game #6 be needed, it will be played Friday in Brampton, and Game #7 at the ILA, Saturday, Aug. 15th.

By Jim Windle The Six Nation Rivermen are one win away from participating in the Presidents Cup tournament to be played in St. Catharines this year. The all important Game #3 is scheduled for Saturday, August 15th at the Gaylord Powless Arena with an 8 pm start.

Should the Merchants battle back, Game #4 will head back to the Luther Vipond Arena and if a game #5 is required, it will be played Tuesday night, Aug. 18th at the GPA at 8 pm.

After falling apart in Game #1, losing 11-2, the Brooklin Merchants put in a better showing Sunday for Game #2 at the Luther Vipond Arena.

The Rivermen and the Merchants kept the game close throughout the game, which ended 3-2 for Six Nations after the first period and 6-6 after the second.

Mike Miller broke the tie for the Rivermen at 36 seconds of the final frame but Jordan Sanderson and Brad Levick put the Redmen ahead 8-7 by the 7:10 mark. The Rivermen regrouped and Cory

Bomberry went to work to ensure the win with two third period goals for his game hat-trick, plus one.

Kyle Childerhaus also added a goal for Six Nations to put a two-goal cushion under their lead.

Levick drew Brooklin to within one, but could not find the last goal they needed to send the game into OT, allowing the Rivermen a10-9 win and a two-games-to-one lead in the best-of-five series.

Also scoring for Six Nations were Roger Vyse, with two, and Wayne VanEvery with one.

The Sr. B Rivermen overwhelmed the Brooklin Merchants by the score of 11-2. in Game #1 of the league championship’s played at the Gaylord Powless Arens in Ohsweken, Friday night.

Angus Goodleaf was in goal and played a solid 60 minutes turning aside the few very good chances Brooklin had. The Rivermen defense didn’t give the Merchants much time to set up in the offensive zone with close checking creating several turnovers.

Goodleaf also chipped in offensively with five as-

sists from the crease.

It was a rough and tumble game for both sides as referee Andrew Ecclestone did his best to keep a lid on the spirited affair, calling 16 penalties against Brooklin and 30 against the Rivermen.

Once again the onetwo punch of Wayne VanEvery (4G,1A) and Roger Vyse (2G-5A) accounted for much of the Rivermen’s attack. Marty Hill had a hot stick as well scoring three and assisting on another.

Also contributing were Delby Powless (1G,3A) and Stu Martin (1G). Steve Bourden and Dan Ransom scored for Brooklin.

There was a little more room on both benches by the end of the game with Dan Vyse, Brock Boyle being tossed for the Rivermen and Nick Loyst and Marl Debrone sent to the showers for Brooklin.

The Presidents Cup hasn’t been in Six Nations hands since the Ohsweken Wolved defeated the Akwesasne Thunder in 1996.

Undefeated Girls Midget Warriors Bring Home Provincial Gold

By Chezney Martin After a triumphant season under the coaching of Timothy Bomberry, the Six Nations Girls Midget Warriors conquered in Whitby Provincials, finishing the championship game 6-5 against the Akwesasne Storm.

Along with winning the Midget Peterborough Tournament earlier in the season, the team had been placed in the A Division

early on and the experience transferred into the B Division. Undefeated entering the semi-final game against the Clarington Gaels, the team battled for victory as the second period ended with a tie of 1-1.

Timmia Bomberry (14) manipulated the ball and scored in sudden death overtime 2-1, solidifying the Warriors position in the championship.

The Akwesasne Storm suffered a tie but still held

an almost undefeated score as well, however, the Warriors were well determined to leave the arena victors. With the number of shots taken throughout the game high, goal tender Julie-Anne Sandy ensured her team would not face a lower score than the Storm. Throughout the tournament, Sandy performed several shut outs and maintained the games in favour of her team.

"It is very important that we as Anishinaabek youth stand up and start acting and fighting for the water,"says Edmond Jack, one of the Water Walkers and a founding member of the Grassy Narrows Youth Organization. "All people across Turtle Island, from all walks of life need to realize that our water is at risk from industry like this pipeline," says Jack, "and we need to start thinking about the future we are leaving for our children."

“We’re honored to join the Water Walk to provide body care and medicines to the walkers, grandmothers and Elders,” the group shared in an emailed statement.

“We know that protecting and taking care of our, and each other’s bodies during these actions is just as important to land defense, so we learn ceremony and how to do this caretaking for generations to come.

The land trauma that many people hold in their bodies (reproductive cancers, mental health issues, self harm) are an opportunity to help heal during land defense and resurge knowledge about medicines in our territories.”

“Water is the first environment our babies are born into, and is also in the first food they receive as breast milk,” the statement reads. “It is these vi-

are modelling for young people what it is like to defend the land and that’s a part of the life stage.”

One of the organizers for the walk, Judy Da Silva is a mother and a grandmother. She says that there is too much at risk to ignore the proposed pipeline. “The Anishinaabe Water Walk in our home territory is to bring awareness to people of the threats to this very precious life giving source,” said DaSilva. “The walk is meant to call attention to what is threatening the water—mercury in the English Wabigoon River near Grassy Narrows, new mining near Wabaskang, the proposed Goliath Gold Mine near Wabigoon, and TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline which is going through the process of consultations to push the oil through these lands.

These are the kind of serious water issues people need to look at in Kenora and Treaty 3 if they want to keep the water pristine for future generations— we need to be good ancestors. ”

Living with Food in the Moment As my journey through life takes me on a series of ups and downs there remains some moments of clarity and balance. These moments may only last for an instant but in them I could spend an eternity.

This happens when I am fully engaged in working hands on with food from the seed to the table.

I feel that celebrating food is an expression of gratitude for the abundance nature provides.

It is in that thought that I believe that the celebration is one of life and the connection shared to all of creation.

I have been fortunate this summer to be part of this ongoing conversation in community. The experiences shared have made a lasting impression on me. They have forever changed how I relate to food and the world around

me.

Recently, with much needed and appreciated help, I had the pleasure of serving food outdoors for a celebration of a milestone in age. To me, to gather outdoors with good food, good minds in a celebration of life is an experience that wholly embodies community.

To end the night I prepared a flourless chocolate cake covered maple syrup, berries and freshly whipped cream. I feel it was a healthy indulgence despite it’s decadent appearance because it was made with real ingredients.

In consideration for time and space the complete recipe cannot be included here. Instead, here is a recipe for how to melt chocolate for the ganache I used to top the cake. The standard for this recipe is equal parts chocolate to equal parts heavy cream

by weight. I find similar results can be achieved without dairy.

Dairy Free Chocolate Ganache

DD Unsweetened Chocolate 8oz DD Maple Syrup (medium or dark) 5oz DD Virgin Sunflower Oil 3oz Gently warm up sunflower oil and maple syrup on low heat. Gradually stir in chocolate and melt until it is smooth. The more you stir it the better. You do not want to overheat the chocolate because it will seize. The maximum temperature to take the chocolate to is around 115°F. Once melted either use immediately or hold it around 90°F if you are going to use it for dipping things like strawberries or apple wedges in it.

OP-ED Great Law: Peace is action from page 9 families together when a member of one family murdered a member of another family. Somehow he was able to have both families help each other bury their lost family member in a good way, and revenge was avoided.

Today we are really good at holding grudges.

Our children watch us when we hold a grudge against someone else, and hear us when we talk about the people we don’t like. But our teachings tell us that everyone deserves another chance, that people can turn things around, and there is power in peace. It’s right there when the Peacemakers grandmother was forgiven. The Mother of Nations was given another chance.

Even someone as evil as Todadaho was relentlessly sought as a key to unity and peace. Just like those stubborn people we know today, Todadaho didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t want anyone near him

and used everything in his power to try to keep everyone out. They never gave up on him, and we must follow that lead.

In addition to the actual recital by very knowledgeable and hardworking individuals, there are symbols of The Peacemakers efforts to bring us together. Those efforts are in the form of original wampum belts from over one thousand years ago.

One can admire the tremendous amount of effort and craftsmanship that went into creating these great tools, but that’s only half of the story. These come from a time when there were no audio recording devices and no western scholars writing everything down.

As the late John Mohawk wrote in Wampum: A Symbol More Powerful than Paper: “The wampum said that all that had transpired to create the conflict had been resolved,

O Gwadeni:deo Commission

and all that could be done by human beings using their clearest thinking to create an environment for the future generations had been put together into that belt.

They are as sacred as our sanity, as sacred as our ability to use our minds to solve our problems, as long as we believe that the principle is inviolate… We believe that the agreements that we make between people using their intelligence to solve their problems is something that is part of our heritage. It is something that is part of our grandchildren’s heritage as long as the belt lasts.

They are a record of people’s good will, a record of their thinking, a record of how we came to be the way we are, in a state of peace and tranquility with another people.”

These are the thoughts, actions, protocols, blood, sweat, and

Six Nations Child Welfare Program

O GWADENI:DEO

Call for Applications for Membership

Six Nations continues to work toward establishing our own Child Welfare Program, “Taking Care of Our Own”. The establishment of the program is currently under the direction of the Six Nations Child Welfare Designation Working Group. Once designated, the O Gwadeni:deo “Community Commission” will assume responsibility for the on-going operations of the community program.

The Commission is to consist of ten members, at least two of who will have the ability to represent Six Nations’ traditional social structure and cultural heritage and have knowledge of traditional practices. Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) will hold two (of the ten) seats.

Five of the initial members of the Commission will be appointed to serve for two years and five will be appointed to serve for four years. Thereafter, the Commission will issue a call for five members every two years, each to serve a full four year term.

To be eligible to serve on the Commission, applicants must submit a completed application and must be: • 18 years of age or older • Have not been found guilty of a criminal offence for which a pardon has not been granted, nor have been found guilty of an offence against a child/youth; both as verified, annually, through Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and Vulnerable Sector Searches • Have an interest in and a reasonable knowledge of the delivery of child and family services (although extensive training will be provided).

The Commission will hold responsibility to: (a) Delegate powers and responsibilities as are authorized by the Commission. (b) Monitor the mission statement, guiding principles and overall direction of the organization. (c) Approve and monitor the financial management, personnel and operational policies and procedures of the organization. (d) Monitor the quality and effectiveness of services and supports provided to the people

by O Gwadeni:deo. (e) Have direct supervisor responsibilities over the Director. (f) Along with the Director, will negotiate and be responsible for the annual budget.

tears of our ancestors; manifested in the most appropriate technology of their time. These are agreements “held up by their honour and nothing else.” They are symbols of people setting aside their hatred, anger, and bitterness towards one another. They are symbols of discussions that sometimes went on for generations before people came to one mind. I would bet the harvest there were many times when opposing sides refused to come to the table, walked away from the table, and had to come back to the table when things went wrong.

It would be a good idea for all of us to recognize and know these symbols because each one tells a

story, each one has many lessons.

Much like everyone else, I don’t have the magic solution. I don’t claim to be knowledgeable, and there are MANY more people who understand the Great Law much better than myself, even more so in the language. Some of them are standing before you this week, with many more across the Confederacy. As the week winds down and many reflect on what has been said, when will WE take the route of seeking out the fiercest people in our lives and make peace with them?

When The Peacemaker left his mother and grandmother, he wasn’t sure how the journey would go, but he went.

We can’t let uncertainty stop us, because it is about the process, not the end of the process. John Mohawk also wrote, “The Haudenosaunee Law of Peace assumes that peace is not achievable as a static condition, just as relationships between human beings are not static but are always unfinished.”

We will always have work to do, and we have a great set of principles to draw from. Now we must face today’s “Todadaho” of our nation, today’s “Jigonsaseh” of our personal life, and fulfill our duty as ambassadors of Peace, Rower, and Righteousness.
