HDI Calls an All Nations Meeting at GREAT By TRT Staff OHSWEKEN – HDI Legal Consultant Aaron Detlor and HDI Director Hazel Hill held a meeting for the public in the auditorium at the G.R.E.A.T building on Thursday, August 27. At the door to the auditorium, a woman affiliated with the “women representing Six Nations of the Grand River,” handed out a sheet of notice to members of the meeting. The notice detailed that the women “believe HDI has committed treason.” The notice also read, “After unsuccessful attempts to engage HDI in an open and community led process of transparency and accountability, it has become evident that our questions are not being answered. This is a cease and desist notice

that the Haudenosaunee Development Institute has broken the peace and no longer represents the people of Six Nations in good faith.” “Any further negotiations by the Haudenosaunee Development Institute claiming to represent the people of Six Nations of the Grand River are immediately null and void. Any negotiations engaged in with the Haudenosaunee Development Institute after August 27, 2015 will be considered in contempt of the people of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy at the Six Nations of the Grand River,” reads the notice. Attendees from Oneida, the Men’s Fire, confederacy Clanmothers and members of Six Nations were able to voice questions as Detlor and Hill

Elvera Garlow, Director of Grand River Employment and Training spoke of the hard work that HDI is doing, despite community criticism. PHOTO BY TRT STAFF explained a power point presentation involving the projects of HDI. One of the projects in particular helped in the development of the Everlasting Tree School.

“We’ve negotiated a number of agreements that resulted in a little over 7.5 million dollars a year for 20 years. Keeping in mind that the community has said with respect

to benefits to the community and this goes directly to your point ‘how do the people benefit?’ A portion of the money, you’ll see there, comes into a Land Acquisition Fund which is set up to acquire land for the people,” said Detlor. He further explained that the land that may be reacquired can be within Haldimand Tract, but is not limited to it. “Difficulty is that we have third parties on the land. People that came to us don’t know the history of the land, they don’t know how they acquired the land, and they don’t know that the Haudenosaunee still have underlying title to the land. That it’s actually Haudenosaunee land. We call them, ‘innocent third party,’” said Detlor. He explained that the

people moving from the land that was reacquired, would be given fair compensation. He said that those individuals will be “compensated for their improvements to the land,” as to not technically “buy” it from them as a way to have those individuals willingly move off of the land. This caused questions, as members of the public mentioned the number of people on Six Nations that don’t vote or attend open meetings to give their consensus. Another asked who held the authority to buy the land in the first place. “It was actually the Chiefs and the Clanmothers that told us to do this, the Confederacy Council,” said Detlor.

Official Groundbreaking of Landscape of Nations By Chezney Martin NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE – To celebrate the International Council of Peace & Reconciliation’s 200th Anniversary, Queenston Heights Park offered a groundbreaking ceremony for the “Landscape of Nations” memorial on Tuesday, September 1. The memorial is to be a “unique public artwork and educational initiative” that “will be a lasting reminder of the significant contributions and sacrifices made by the Six Nations and the Native Allies throughout the War of 1812 and leading up to the Council of Peace and Reconciliation,” and to be opened to the public in June of 2016. Along with a standing

Quiver Dance and Opening Address performed by Cam Hill, Jamie Jacobs and Eddie Thomas; a bundle of seven arrows were tied to symbolically represent seven generations, while the groundbreaking ceremony was performed by planting an Eastern White Pine Tree. Master of Ceremonies Tim Johnson said he is “very pleased with the development of this project.” “The project itself, from its inception has been an effort, a dual or joint effort if you will, between native peoples and Canadian citizens, and that was part of the reconciliation theme with this project that we stuck through in every single stage,” said Johnson. “There are seven arrows in that bundle to

represent the seven gener-

ations, a part of the Haudenosaunee philosophy, that the actions that you take today should consider the outcomes for seven generations that follows,” said Johnson. Ava Hill, accompanied by Councillors Wray Maracle and Carl Hill, said on behalf of Six Nations, “we are so proud to be here.” “This memorial will

also enhance the reconciliation that was called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission who delivered their recommendation shortly after the announcement of the project a couple months ago,” said Hill. “I also want to stress again, the importance of this memorial to the Six Nations people. It will prove to be most valuable

in ensuring everyone who visits it will be made aware of the contributions of the Six Nations people. And the sacrifices that were made in the War of 1812, and it is because of their efforts that we are able to stand here today and break the ground for this memorial, and I am sure it will have a lasting impact on anyone who visits it,” said Hill.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair addressed a lively crowd of about 700 people at a rally in Brantford last Thursday, August 27. In the days following, Brantford - Brant Federal NDP Candidate Marc Laferriere issued a press release that said he and his team are taking part in a new campaign to remind voters that as Prime Minister, Tom Mulcair will repeal Bill C-51. Bill C-51 has been a hotbed topic for First Nations peoples. The Assembly of First Nations says the key issues at stake in Bill C-51 are the State's power to place individuals or groups under surveillance, to monitor their everyday activities, to create criminal offenses that affect our ability to exercise our legally recognized rights, and the overall relationship of State power to fundamental human and Indigenous rights.

20 years after Ipperwash – still questions By Jim Windle

KETTLE POINT/ STONEY POINT – It’s been 20 years since the death of unarmed native activist Dudley George by police during the occupation of Ipperwash Provincial Park by members of Stoney Point and Kettle Point First Nation. This was the same year Doug Whitlow was covering a similar crisis at Gustafsen Lake in the interior of British Columbia which the Two Row Times has been doing a series of features on. Policies regarding the handling of native protests were obtrusive and at times downright illegal in both cases. Here in Ontario, Ipperwash got most of the attention by media, however, at its roots it was in many ways the same story with different names and different faces. Details of the Ipperwash event and George’s death did not come to full light until 2006 when the provincial Liberals made good on a campaign promise to call for an inquiry into what lead to the death of George. Up until that time, the provincial and federal Conservatives refused to look into it. Even during the inquiry, the Conservatives tried to interfere with the truth being known. Mike Harris was the Conservative Premier of Ontario at the time and was politically embarrassed by the controversy and did his best to downplay his role in the order to send armed OPP into a peaceful occupation. Harris’ aid, Deb Hutton, for example, had used phrases such as “I don’t recall” or “I don’t specifically recall” on 134 separate occasions when questioned by lawyers for the George family. During WWII, Canada expropriated Kettle Point Chippewa land for an army training base, but after the end of the War, the land, along with the centuries of burials of its members, was never

returned. Diplomacy failed at every turn for years afterwards until, on Labour Day, Monday, September 4, 1995, the people of Stoney Point and nearby Kettle Point reserves took matters into their own hands, occupying the now vacant army base and a popular resort area of Ipperwash Park. Without affording himself the time or energy to investigate the claims of the occupiers, Harris secretly told the OPP to “get those F-ing Indians out of the park.” Much evidence came forth during the inquiry that would indicate an abuse of political power and a total disregard for First Nations petitions for justice. It also came out during the investigation and inquiry that there was a Six Nations connection to this story in the person of Jim Moses, a freelance reporter who was allegedly in a relationship to another Six Nations based news reporter at the time. He was also secretly working as a paid CSIS and OPP informant. Moses paid three visits to Ipperwash Park during the occupation pretending to be gathering information as a native reporter. Even before the occupation itself, Moses had already told his CSIS handlers about the planned occupation. CSIS was also told by Moses that he saw a bandoleer filled with 12-gage shotgun shells during one of his visits to the occupation site. That information played a significant role in George’s death, since, outside of Moses’ testimony there was no evidence of weapons at the site. George was shot and killed by acting Sergeant Ken “Tex” Deane, a senior officer in charge of a fourman sniper team. With mis-intelligence pointing to weapons at the occupation site, Deane testified that he had mistaken the elongated dark coloured

branch, which George was carrying for a rifle and shot George. Mortally wounded, he was carried to a car by fellow occupiers to take to the hospital, driven by Pierre George. Evidence revealed during the inquiry showed that everything was done to prevent George from getting to the hospital and receiving the treatment he needed. George died in the back seat of the car at the emergency entrance where police seemed more interested in arresting those in the car than allowing George to be treated by emergency doctors ready to receive the wounded man. Deane was eventually charged and convicted of Discreditable Conduct and ordered to resign in 7 days or be fired. Just before he was to appear before Justice Sydney Linden who was in charge of the inquiry, Deane died in a single vehicle accident, crashing his car into a bridge abutment, causing concern and arousing suspicion. On December 20 of 2007, the Provincial government declared its intentions to return the expropriated land. On May 28th of 2009, the transfer papers were drawn up and signed by then Aboriginal Affairs Minister Michael Bryant, but it was to be returned to the Chippewa’s of both Kettle and Stoney Creek. This has created another problem however. Some members of the George family are now insisting that Stoney Point should receive the land since it was expropriated from them and that Kettle Point has no historical connection with it, and therefore, should get nothing. As is the case at Burtch, here at Six Nations, the government is now waiting for the internal conflicts to settle down to decide who is to receive the land and the recently offered $95 million.

Ashley Callingbull becomes Mrs. Universe Land Defenders on high alert at Unist'ot'en By Jonathan Garlow

A selfie from Ashley (Burnham) Callingbull's instagram proudly displays the intricate beadwork and designs of her traditional regalia. Ashley is a positive role model and inspiration for indigenous peoples everywhere. SOURCE ASH_BURNHAM INSTAGRAM By Jonathan Garlow BELARUS – Ashley Callingbull of Alberta’s Enoch Cree Nation is taking the world by storm. She was crowned Mrs. Universe on Saturday August 29th during a competition in the European country of Belarus and has been the hottest topic on social media since. Although she won the Mrs. Universe title on behalf of Canada, Callingbull, whose married name is Burnham, has been using the platform to promote her Cree heritage and culture. During a cultural segment of the contest, Ashley wore a traditional beaded jingle dress. “I basically tried to showcase my culture throughout the whole pageant, because in Europe, they don’t really see that,” Callingbull said. According to Enoch Cree Nation Councillor Nola Wanuch, the world is paying more attention to the issues facing indigenous people in Cana-

da following Ashley Callingbull’s Mrs. Universe win. Callingbull has taken the opportunity to renounce Conservative PM Stephen Harper. “I urge all First Nations people in Canada to vote in this upcoming election. We are in desperate need of a new PM. Fight for your rights,” she said on Twitter. Some outlets have criticised her for being too political out of the gate but Ashley responded immediately. “Really? People think I’m too political for my first day as Mrs Universe. Did you really think I was going to just sit there and look pretty? Definitely not. I have a title, a platform and a voice to make change and bring awareness to First Nations issues here in Canada. I’m getting all this media attention and I’m going to use it to the best of my ability. I’m not your typical beauty queen. Look out... I have a voice for change and I’m going to use it!” Callingbull, 25 is a

survivor of many types of abuse she experienced in her childhood where she lived in poverty on the Enoch and Hobbema reservations. She embraced ceremony and traditions to find healing, rather than turning to drugs or alcohol. In 2010 Callingbull placed as the second runner up in the Miss Canada pageant and from that experience she is no stranger to being the target of racist and demeaning comments. But she instead has decided to stay focused on the positive. “It’s a lot to take in because the amount of support that I’m receiving is huge,” she said. Ashley has appeared in the APTN series Blackstone portraying a positive minded student. She is currently working on her Bachelor of Arts in Drama and judging by the overwhelming popularity of the Callingbull franchise she could have a big future in film, theatre or music – the world is hers.

BURNS LAKE, B.C. – Last week, rumours were addressed by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) that warned of a large-scale RCMP action against the Unist’ot’en camp. On August 27th the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) sent a letter to the RCMP, warning against “an impending, and possibly largescale, RCMP action in relation to the Unist’ot’en camp”. “We understand that the RCMP may have already taken a decision, or be about to take a decision, that the RCMP will move in and remove people from the Unist’ot’en camp by force if necessary,” the BCCLA letter reads. “If we are mistaken in this, we hope that the RCMP will clarify this with the public immediately.” On August 28, the RCMP issued a statement denying the police force

SUICIDE

intends to dismantle the Unist’ot’en camp. Likhts’amisyu hereditary chief Toghestiy stated on the Unist’ot’en website, “Unist’ot’en and Grassroots Wet’suwet’en have consistently stated that they will not allow such a pipeline to pass through their territory. The federal and provincial governments, as well as Indian Act tribal councils or bands, have no right or jurisdiction to approve development on Unist’ot’en lands. By consulting only with elected Indian Act tribal councils and bands, the Canadian government breaks its own laws as outlined in the 1997 Supreme Court of Canada Delgamuukw decision which recognizes Hereditary adjudication processes.” In 2010 the Pacific Trail natural gas pipeline hit a road block when Chevron tried to unilaterally build on unceded territory. The Wet’suwet’en established a camp in the pathway of the pipe-

line and many people and groups have flocked to the area in solidarity with the indigenous peoples. Those groups include Greenpeace Canada, the UBCIC, Idle No More, and the SFU Institute for the Humanities, as well as individuals including David Suzuki, Naomi Klein, and federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May. The Unist’ot’en camp was later expanded in opposition to the Northern Gateway oil pipeline which Enbridge planned to follow a similar route through the province. This oil pipeline alone is expected to cost $6.5 billion dollars. Non-hereditary Chiefs Karen Ogen (Wet’suwet’en), Ray Morris (Nee Tahi Buhn), Dan George (Burns Lake Band) , and Rene Skin (Skin Tyee Nation) are supportive of the gas and oil pipelines and have condemned the Unist’ot’en Camp.

The Water Still Flows We are proud to announce that our Healthy Roots project is kicking off again and it’s such a joy to see the t-shirts being worn not only on Six Nations but throughout many territories. This time we will be focusing on the Healthy Harvest which is an important time for our families and for ceremony. Meanwhile the Navajo Nation farmers of the American southwest are mourning the loss of their crops after a deluge of toxic waste from the Colorado Gold King mine polluted their sacred San Juan River earlier this month. An estimated 3 million gallons of heavy metals and poisons such as arsenic turned the waterway a bright orange. Reports have said that people at emergency water stations could be seen weeping. Many farmers testified that their crops have died in the poisonous aftermath. Others are saying it could take years for the ecosystem to return to a natural balance. What could be the saddest part of this story is how familiar it sounds to indigenous people everywhere. It makes you wonder – why does our water always get so polluted? Perhaps water everywhere is polluted and indigenous communities are just not able to build the infrastructures and facilities to treat it properly. Many native people resort to conspiracy theories because the big picture has always looked bleak. Maybe the reason is yet undetermined. Even Six Nations well water is often contaminated with E.coli and other bacteria from the run off seeping into the ground because of the fertilized farmers’ fields nearby. It’s an embarrassing thing to try to explain when entertaining your city guests who start pouring themselves a drink from the tap. “Uhhhh, yeah. You can’t drink that! The C&S bottled water is over there [points with lips].” The Grassy Narrows First

Nation, 100km north of Kenora Ontario is all too familiar with undrinkable water – they have been under a boil water advisory for over very long time. They recently discovered uranium in tap water samples and a state of emergency was declared. The elders of Grassy Narrows have also lived with mercury problems in their water for the last 50 years which has not yet been resolved. Far away in the West, nestled amongst the picturesque mountains of Northern British Columbia, the Tahltan Nation of Telegraph Creek live a life free from pollution and toxic spills. The Stikine River sustains the community by doing what normal water is supposed to do. Clean water sustains everything. If that isn’t enough the elders of the community preserve a secret spring that flows at the base of a mountain side that brings glacial water down from the icy peaks. It is like drinking the purest water that could ever exist on our planet. This is the kind of water that existed everywhere at one time and the indigenous people still can remember. It has now become our responsibility to have the courage to dream that it can be this way once again. And that is why we initiate projects such as Healthy Roots in hopes that others will catch the dream and partner with us to envision a better world for the generations to come. “As long as the Sun shines upon this Earth, that is how long our [Two Row Wampum] Agreement will stand; Second, as long as the Water still flows; and Third, as long as the Grass Grows Green at a certain time of the year. Now we have Symbolized this Agreement and it shall be binding forever as long as Mother Earth is still in motion.” - League of Five Nations Royanni 1613

Power is sacred Many times we get into rough waters as the Haudenosaunee family. Sometimes with each other we quarrel. When we do this we’re playing into a carefully orchestrated evil little game. I was recently talking to my black brothers in the system out here – there is a lot of red and black. He brought to my attention that some blacks were told that the Ohnkwehonwe of Turtle Island were responsible for the hurt and slavery that occurred back in the supposed old days but has slavery really been abolished? I have heard before by the older people that Iroquois Mohawks from Akwesasne were told that Six Nations Grand River country set up the Mush hole to take children away from their families and went to their graves hating Six Nations because this was told to them when they were kids. The thoughts and energy of hate and anger makes us all recoil with distrust yet we constantly perpetuate it. This must stop! Getting mad at each other and laying charges so the others get thrown to the wolves in Brantford courthouse is another bad example. We’re all family. These people have no respect for our system of governance, obviously. If they did we wouldn’t even be there. Mohawks would get sentenced by Mohawks, Onondagas by Onondagas and for capital crimes a tribunal of all Six Nations but that’s a perfect world. The utopia that prevailed before contact. We get mad, charge someone, then some of us know it’s not our system so

they tell the crown who has been so nice and accommodating when they wanted us to testify in a colonial court. Suddenly [the crown] turns against the witness for recanting or refusing to testify and issues a material witness warrant for whomever to have them arrested immediately. I’ve seen it happen. It plays right into the fostered division - because they know we’re a sovereign country they carefully pit us against each other. It’s a very thorough, meticulous way they go about these sorts of things with much calculation and planning. When they sought to abolish our sovereign Six Nations country - which they are still trying to do - they got us into negotiations in the early part of the last century. In which the crown sought to carefully stack the tribunal for the expected outcome in favour of the Dominion of Canada. The judges had to be British subjects from Ontario, so they had a vested interest in ruling against our sovereign status. This deck stacking has happened and been happening. This particular time around the time Canada took out the Heriditary Chiefs

Council in Ohsweken by gunpoint and left Chief Deskaheh to try plead his case to the newly established League of Nations which was put together for this specific kind of abuse of little countries. Which consequently left the great Cayuga Ro:yane Levi General alienated from our beloved Grand River country because he fought for our freedom and was not allowed to return to the colony of Canada. Nothing has changed when it comes to this kind of underhanded dealings. As long as we harbour feelings of low self-worth, hate and jealousy we could potentially and unwittingly be used as pawns against each other to further the colonial cause. This was engineered by warfare first, then the Mush Hole. So we must know our enemies tactics but don’t use them against each other. Knowledge is power and power is sacred to those who possess it.

Special Report - Part 2

Gustafsen Lake inside out – how the RCMP really works By Doug Whitlow – reprinted with the permission of “The Other Press”, Douglas College. BC.

Gustafsen Lake trial, 1997-98 The jury heard more evidence of police aggression when witnesses described the following day’s attempted murder of a camp occupant who had gone to the lake to bathe. On the morning of September 12th, Wescam spotted a male walking away from the camp towards the water. RCMP sniper Cst. O’Gorman, positioned across the lake, asked permission from “Zulu”, RCMP field headquarters, “to make the guy’s day unpleasant.” O’Gorman testified that his partner, Cpl. Wyton, told him that Inspector Kembel, the field commander at Zulu, had given the green light to shoot the camp occupant. However, the RCMP commander had failed to inform Kembel that a safe zone had been created days before and, as far as the camp knew, this included the wash area that the male was walking to. Regardless, the sniper team across the lake attempted the shot. The jury watched more Wescam footage showing the man from the camp walking towards the water. He suddenly runs and dives for the ground, rolling into a deep rut on the dirt road. O’Gorman testified that he had taken the 1100 meter shot and the bullet had fallen ten feet short. He said that Wyton then grabbed the .308 sniper rifle off him and took two more shots, despite not being able to see the man anymore. The man in the “safe zone” lived and made it back to the camp.

Kembel described the incident as unfortunate in that he wasn’t told about the safe zone. It was only hours after the attempted shooting that the coordinates of the safe zone were broadcast to the rest of the ERT members in the field. It was the first time they had heard about the save zone which the camp had known about for two days as an area where their safety was guaranteed. The public was never told about the shooting. Despite the incredible events of September 11 and 12, the public was only given a sanitized and twisted version of what happened. Media relations officer, Sgt. Peter Montague, agreed on the stand that what he told the public on September 11 wasn’t entirely correct, particularly the statement that the occupant of the disabled truck fled with weapons and fired at police. Montague said he learned on the morning of September 12, from police dog handler Cpl. Mercer, that this was not true. When asked by defense lawyers if any official retraction was made to the public, Montague said he thought he had mentioned it to some media, but could not recall for sure. He agreed that he never saw a retraction published or aired. Defense lawyer Don Campbell found 18 more errors in Montague’s September 11th press statement, but Montague clarified this. He said there were 18 “minor inconsistencies” and “two serious errors.” Defense lawyers argued that the RCMP press statement inaccuracies were not accidental, but were part of a strategy to discredit and smear the camp occupants. Key evidence of this strategy included video taken by an

RCMP civilian cameraman, Norm Torp. Torp’s 46 hours of video taken during the standoff was the focus of much deliberation and in the end only a dozen minutes were admitted as evidence. A portion of this was of an RCMP meeting discussing media strategies. RCMP negotiator Dennis Ryan is seen asking Sgt. Doug Hartl, “Have you found anyone to help us with our disinformation or smear campaign?” Ryan told the jury that he was just using earthy language and apologized for the inappropriate comment. The video also shows Peter Montague wryly stating, “smear campaigns are our specialty.” Montague claimed he was being ironic and was making a joke. He said there was no smear campaign, but defense lawyers had another point of view. They cited the fact that on September 11, 1995, Montague released criminal records of people suspected to be in the encampment, but which also

included records of people not in the camp. Don Campbell suggested that these people’s records were included because they were longer than the few camp members’ records were. Wool brought it to the jury’s attention that a youth record was even released. Montague claimed he never knew he released a youth record, but admitted that he never verified any of the information that was given by other officers. A press release of September 5th was also under scrutiny by defense council. On that morning, media liaison officer Cpl. John Ward told the media and public that RCMP members had been shot at and stalked throughout the previous night by natives from the encampment. He explained that the APCs supplied by the army were being used to rescue the Victoria ERT team. The ERT team claimed that a bullet had hit the side mirror of their Suburban and they believed they were

being shot at, so they fired their weapons into the surrounding bushes as the Suburban raced out of the area. The jury heard that the forensics expert Brian McConaghy that when he examined the “shot” mirror, he found no evidence that it had been hit by a bullet. He thought it more likely the mirror was hit by a tree branch. Head investigator, Insp. Gary Bass admitted that he had no evidence of any officers being stalked through the bush by natives, but claimed that the Victoria ERT team still believed they were being fired on. Montague testified that he never corrected Ward’s press statement claiming he was away at the time. He claimed he was never asked to correct it, so he didn’t. Montague’s sidestepping and polished excuses reflected most of the RCMP witnesses who took the stand. They had trouble recalling events, pointed fingers at superiors, feigned

ignorance and generally came off as armed civic servants trying to protect their pensions and reputation of a crumbling institution called the RCMP. The only officer who did take responsibility was Subt. Len Olfert, but he seemed to have no knowledge of the details of his officer’s actions. Eight months ago, the jury, like most of the public, thought they had a pretty good idea of what the Gustafsen Lake “standoff” was about. It was the RCMP’s largest and costliest operation in Canadian history and the Mounties came off looking like heroes who, once again, got their man. Now after hearing the Crown’s case in what is turning into BC’s longest jury trial, the jury and the public may have to reevaluate not only their thoughts on what happened in the summer of 1995, but also their thoughts on the national police force they depend on to protect them.

Bulls Eye! Arrows keep Minto Cup By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Arrows won their second consecutive Minto Cup, 9-4, in game #6, Saturday night before a sell-out crowd at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. It is the first time the Cup has been awarded on a reserve. The Coquitlam Adanacs lost their bid for the Cup to the Arrows Express for the second straight year, this time in front of a large and loud Six Nations crowd augmented by dozens of Adanacs fans who made the trip with their team from BC. “It was a hard fought battle,” said Austin Staats about the series. “We had to work for every goal we got. Their goaltender (Christian Del Bianco) was much better than we expected.” Defensive specialist Keegan LeTourneau came to the Arrows on the trade deadline from the Mimico Mountaineers, where he was captain, and is happy he did. The Mountaineers finished the regular season

PHOTO BY DAVID LAFORCE well out of contention with only 5 wins. “I was trying to keep an open mind going into the series, because I have never played against a western team before,” said LeTourneau. “I didn’t want to think too high or too low. They were fighting to the very

end not giving us much of anything (to shoot at). It feels great to beat them for the title. “ “Once we get into the swing of things, it’s pretty hard to stop us. We faced some adversity when we lost those two games, but we are the type of team to use that

to our benefit and come out stronger.” Young Jerry Staats watched game #6 from the stands, but as an observer, believes the Arrows played their best lacrosse of the year in Saturday’s game.

Arrows keep Minto Cup, continued “These guys really went to battle with whatever it took,” he said. Jordan Durston made a huge contribution in this, his last year of Jr. eligibility and has been a serious threat whenever he had the ball. “We all tried to just keep a level head, but we were pretty pumped up before that game. Coquitlam is a good team, so we’re focused on going out there, a shift at a time and try and get it done,” he said. Durston will wear his second Minto Cup ring and although both were championship teams, he found this year’s Arrows to have a little different feel from last year’s edition. “It’s the little things with this team,” reflected Durston. “I don’t think other teams do some of the stuff that we do and that’s why last year and this year we have won the Minto Cup.” Austin Staats, who will be returning next season for his third Minto Cup ring, agrees with Durston. “As long as we are doing the little things right it is more than likely we will come out on top, and we have done that all season,” he says. Having a new coaching staff behind the bench this year led by Patrick Merrill, took some adjustment at first. “That’s where the veterans on the team helped out talking with the coaches about things done last year that worked and they added other stuff on top of that,” said Durston. “We bought into their system and that’s how we came out on top.” The Arrows, wearing their throw-back black jerseys, dominated the game from the starting faceoff. Austin Staats brought the Arrows Express faithful into the game at 4:16 from Adam Bomberry and Jordan Durston. Brendan Bomberry turned up the decibel level a minute later from James Rahe and Staats. Chase MacIntyre cut the Arrows lead in half at 8:10, but Durston cut the Coquitlam cel-

World Lacrosse Challenge 2015

The World of box lacrosse is coming to six nations on September 11-13, 2015,the event will be Located at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. Please come out and support the local six nations (Iroquois West) U-19 World lacrosse Team. Which will be lead by General Manager Curt Styers, Head Coach Cody Jamieson, and Defensive coach Sid Smith. The Six Nations Haudenosaunee people and our lacrosse teams represent the game of lacrosse in worldwide international competition and are long acknowledged as the originators of the modern game of lacrosse. The World Lacrosse Challenge derives from the contemporary experiences and friendships between the Haudenosaunee with lacrosse enthusiasts from the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Isreal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, United States and Canada. These international friendships have solidified a relationship bonded by the game of lacrosse. These teams and many like them have expressed the desire to return to the heartland of the originators of the game of lacrosse within Six Nations territories. The World Lacrosse Challenge has developed a program which strives to highlight the historical, healthwellness, and sovereignty of the game of lacrosse. These components help to lay a foundation to develop a lacrosse economic initiative to benefit the Six Nations community. We have organized the International Lacrosse Event to take place on September 11-13, 2015. Presently they are ten countries who have commitment to this extraordinary idea for lacrosse. We would like to thank all of your sponsors and the community of six nations.

Chiefs will not three-peat – Lakes go to Mann Cup By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — It was a hard one to lose for the Six Nations Chiefs but a thrilling way to win for the Peterborough Lakers Monday night at the ILA. The Major Series Championship went to Game #7, but the potent Chiefs offence was shut down in the third period while the Lakers’ Shawn Evans and Turner Evans tied and then took the one goal lead which stood as the game winner. “We battled all year and to lose by just one goal is tough to swallow but it is a seven game series and in a low scoring game, every goal makes a difference,” said head coach “Mouse” Henry. “There were some outside shots that I’m sure Mills (goalie Brandon Miller) would like back but it was a great series and a great crowd tonight that I hope will promote the game in this area even more.” Six Nations’ Wenster Green played this year for the Lakers and it seemed a bit odd for him to be celebrating the win in a Peterborough uniform, at the ILA. “It’s a great feeling but it took 25 guys to get here, we had a great year and it’s been a great experience,”

Dhane Smith looks for some open room against the tough checking of the Peterborough Lakers. It was one of the largest lacrosse crowds the ILA has ever seen with several bus loads of Lakers fans added to the Six Nations Chiefs fans for Game #7. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

said Green after the game, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit bad for his friends and former teammates. “Six Nations is a great team and

every night was a battle with the same intensity, I thought. Fortunately, we got some bounces tonight and we came out with a

win.” “In a seven game series like this it can go either way,” said Lakers’ Cory Vitarelli. “But somebody’s

got to win and somebody has to lose and tonight we got the win. The way us and them play, we always seem to do it the hard way. Last year they took one in our barn and this year we did it here.” At times, it seemed like it was Peterborough’s home game with three busloads of Peterborough fans and dozens more who drove down for the biggest game of the year. Craig Point got the Six Nations fans into the game before many people even found a seat in one of the largest crowds the ILA has ever seen. Ryan Benesch added another at 9:54 from Dan Coats and Sid Smith, but Brad Self and two goals by Mark Steenhuis flipped the period to a 3-2 Peterborough lead by the end of the period. Miller made the save on Self but the rebound bounced off a Chiefs defender into the net. That could have been the lucky Peterborough bounce that won the game. The Chiefs had a solid second period with Benesch tying the game at 4:01 and Dhane Smith restoring

the Chiefs lead at 6:44. Point scored his second of the game at 9:44 to finish the second period leading 5-4 after Chad Tutton scored an unassisted goal at 16:53 while falling towards the net after being checked. Matt Vinc shut out the Chiefs in the third with some game savers. In a game and a series like this, the absence of injured Chiefs superstar Cody Jamieson was noticed. Jamieson is that go-to-guy in tight games like Monday night who is always good for that big goal when needed. Although Colin Doyle did return to the Chiefs lineup for the playoffs, he was not 100%. It was also noticed that Billy Dee Smith was on the hobble Monday night. All that is part of the game, and on this night, the Lakers got that one extra break to win the MSL Championship and will represent the OLA at the Mann Cup for 2015.

Game #6

Thursday night the Chiefs fell to the Peterborough Lakers 13-10 in Game #6 at the Peterborough Memorial Centre Thursday, Aug. 27th forcing Game #7 at the ILA, Saturday. Dhane Smith lead the Six Nations attack with four goals and four assists in the losing cause. Meanwhile, Curtis Dickson scored five goals and an assist for the Lakers.

The score was tied 5-5 after a wide open first period where Smith got three of his markers along with Johnny Powless, Kasey Beirnes solo goals. Peterborough won the game in the second period scoring six goals on Brandon Miller while Matt Vinc allowed only two to end the second period with the Lakers leading 11-7. The Chiefs regained their composure in the third but could not overcome the deficit. Stephen Keogh, Smith and Powless scored third period goals for Six Nations.

HEALTHY ROOTS Healthy Roots is a community initiative led by The Two Row Times, the Our Sustenance Program and Six Nations Health Services that explores Indigenous wellness through seasonal, culturally relevant themes. Our first run of Healthy Roots encouraged the public to clean up their

post-holiday diets with a traditional foods challenge. The public followed 4 participants as they publically vowed to eat all or mostly Indigenous foods for 12 weeks. The program culminated in a free community dinner where traditional foods were transformed into gourmet dishes, and the participants shared the

outcome of the challenge with the Six Nations community. In June, we decided to launch another installment of Healthy Roots that focused on how to grow some of those traditional foods. We explored gardening and self-sufficiency topics through free weekly workshops and events. In the Two Row

Times, we featured weekly articles on gardening, including a look at the Haudenosaunee history of planting by local historian Rick Hill. This month, we are back with 6 weeks of programming and exclusive content. We are focusing on harvest time – how to preserve the foods you may have grown over the

summer, healthy back-toschool meal ideas, getting outside during those cool fall days, and optimizing your health before winter arrives. Canning workshops, a medicinal plants hike, and a beekeeping workshop are just a few of the special events we have planned for the next few weeks. Please check week-

ly issues of The Two Row Times for exclusive Healthy Roots content, which as always will include opportunities to enjoy free giveaways and prize draws. The Healthy Roots team would like to thank the Dreamcatcher Foundation for their ongoing support of Healthy Roots initiatives.

cloth sacks and lowered them into pots of boiling water. This is the water bathing system we still use. Others had preserved food before Appert but his principles of removing the air and sealing the jars was finally being applied on a large scale. Later in 1858 (so quite a bit later) John Mason invented the glass jars with threaded tops. Mason’s invention did away with the corks because he made the lids from glass also. The famed red rubber ring made it possible to create a strong and lasting seal on the jars. It was not un-

til a great number of years later that lids were made from metal with the red rubber ring attached. The metal lids were a much easier application but unlike the glass lids they could only be used once. Many other people over the years added their help to the process of preserving food through canning - Samuel Prescott and William Underwood with their studies of bacteriology, clearly defining what made the food spoil and Louis Pasteur with his process of pasteurization to destroy micro organisms to name a few.

A great number of people working diligently to solve a single common problem, “The need to have food available to everyone, everywhere throughout the year” (L.Ferrari.) Canning has gone through many ups and downs in popularity. The invention of the metal can, and the creation of grocery stores, sadly, created a decline in home canning. Happily, to this writer in particular, people are returning to this fine art. People are canning and preserving their own food to feel a sense of security. They know the food they

preserve from their own garden, local markets and farmers is good wholesome food. They preserve and can the food to know exactly what they are eating and serving to their families. The sense of confidence that you gain being more self sufficient in the food arena compares to a victory without equal. One other aspect equally as important as confidence, security, and the eating of wholesome food, is the pleasure it offers to be able to see your accomplishments and give some of your home canned goods as gifts. It’s hard to

not enjoy a delicious jam or savory sauce that someone made for you with their own two hands. The history of canning was about need, the need for good, safe nutritious food. I say we still have that need but let’s include the pleasure and joy of participating in this fine art! Let’s can something today. Our Sustenance Greenhouse will be hosting a free Healthy Roots Intro to Canning workshop on Thursday, September 3 from 6-8 p.m. Call 519-445-4779 for more information.

Preserving Food By Canning: A quick bit of history Humans have dried, salted and fermented food since before recorded history. One of the biggest moments in preserving food was in 1795 when the French Army offered money to anyone who could discover a way to preserve food for the troops. A chef and scientist Nicolas Appert decided to try. Appert filled small mouthed jars with various kinds of food, corked the bottles and wired the corks on the jars, just like the tops of wine bottles. Appert put the jars into

Dear Kitty,

I want to have a part of my garden come back every year. But I am not sure what to start with, flowers or maybe herbs? Should these be planted separate from my vegetable garden? Thank you for any help, Striving for a repeat garden Dear Striving, The wonder of perennials! These are plants that return for three or more years. Some perennials with proper care will live on for your future family. First things first, perennials can be planted in your vegetable garden if you wish. Be sure they are clearly marked so in the

spring they are not mistakenly removed as weeds. Plan what plants you want and where you want them. The choices are endless for flowers, grasses and herbs. Take into consideration the plants height, how much it will spread and how fast. Perennials have two stages at which they can be planted - dormant and active. Dormant are usually planted in the fall while active can be planted in the spring or summer. This will be dependent on the perennials you choose. Here are the basics for planting: work the soil where they are to be planted to a foot deep. Remove them from the pot, tickle the roots only a little and plant them in a hole the same depth as the pot they

came from. Firmly pat the soil around them and water well. Although perennials require less attention, they are not completely care free. Regular care, watering 3 times a year, feeding, and mulching all must be done. Importantly, when they become crowded or are taking more space than you want they can be divided. Dividing is done in the spring or fall and it may be a few years before it needs to be done. This again depends on the chosen perennial. You can plant the divided plants in another spot or offer them to friends and family, although my friends would run when I came smiling with more daylilies. Daylilies tend to get aggressive with space and require

considerable dividing. That aside, perennials provide a welcome delight to your garden in the spring as the come up of their own accord. I think perennials are great idea for a flower bed if you are looking for something that requires minimal work. I applaud your striving and wish you many years of joy as your perennials establish themselves in your space. Enjoy the return of perennials each year with happiness, Kitty

SEED SAVING SERIES - Why Save Seeds? By Kitty R. Lynn,

Our Sustenance Greenhouse

purple tomatoes)? Think of how hard those seeds or plants were to find, not to mention the expense. Saving seeds allows you to plant and grow the veggies you and your family enjoy most. Sometimes the particular seeds or plants you want most are not available at planting time. How wonderful to have the seeds you want saved, cleaned, dried and stored ready to plant in the spring without a search or cost. Imagine your very own custom grocery store, right in your garden. Reason number four for the seed saving argument is you become the person who decides the quality of the food you eat. You are able to choose and

plant only organic or heritage seeds. This ensures you have the food you know has not been altered in any way. Every year you will collect your seeds continuing not just your choice of quality but also the longevity of that particular plant. Reason number five, my favorite reason is.... drumroll please - IT’S FUN and super EASY. Children also love to collect seeds so get your whole family involved. Be prepared for the family’s favorite foods to become named after the person who collects the seeds the previous year. If little Penelope collects the pea seeds, why not encourage help in the garden next spring by saying, “Let’s

plant Penelope›s peas!”. Another bonus is if you have extra seeds you can trade them for a seed you don’t have, creating a more diverse garden. All of these are good reasons for saving seeds. Saving seeds also creates a sense of pride, independence, self sustainability and sovereignty over your family’s food source, so grab a few of those seeds for next year’s garden. For the next five weeks, we will be sharing a “howto” guide on seed saving. Check next week’s Healthy Roots section for instructions on how to collect seeds from common vegetable plants.

There they are - seeds and seed pods on all kinds of plants in your garden. Plants that didn’t make the harvest, got ahead of you or bolted in the hot weather. Before you start to clear your garden, why not grab those seeds! With all the places to get seeds these days lets talk about why you would want to save them. One reason to save seeds from your own garden is the cost effective aspect of doing it. Seeds you save from your own plants are free. Your garden planting next year will be free of charge! Who doesn’t love free? For some that is reason enough. Reason two for saving your own seeds is about being more self-sufficient. Saving your own seeds allows you to develop your ability to feed you and your family healthy, delicious food without being as dependent on retail or commerce. Reason number three for saving seeds is being a self-proclaimed scientist for your family and creating a custom food source. Do you love purple tomatoes (yes, there really are

2 ripe Avocados 1 Lime or lime 1 large clove of Garlic ½ tsp Sea Salt Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions: Juice the lime or lemon. Mince the garlic. Add the garlic, and sea salt to the lime/lemon juice. Mix up and let sit for about 10 minutes. Take one of your avocados and mash it up really well, hardly any chunks. Mix that into the lime juice mixture. With the second avocado, dice it up and gently mix it into the lime/avocado mixture so that you keep the chunkiness of it all.

Homemade Granola Bars

2 Eggs 1 tsp Vanilla 1 Tbsp Honey 1/2 cup finely Shredded Unsweetened Coconut 1/2 cup Pepitas (Shelled Pumpkin Seeds) , chopped 1/3 cup Sunflower Seeds 3 Tbsp Sesame Seeds 1/3 cup Dried Apricots, chopped 1/3 cup Dried Cranberries, chopped 1/4 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup Flaked Coconut (aka coconut chips) , chopped Pinch Salt Pinch Cinnamon

Instructions: Grease a 9”x9” pan with coconut oil shortening and preheat oven to 350F. Coconut flakes should be chopped to the size of large flakes of oatmeal. Pepitas should be chopped to roughly the size of sunflower seeds. Apricots and cranberries should be chopped to the size of raisins or slightly smaller. Optional: toast chopped flaked coconut in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes, until lightly browned. Blend eggs, honey, salt and cinnamon to completely combine (about 20 seconds). Combine all the dry ingredients. Pour blended eggs over and mix to fully combine. Pour into pan and press down evenly. Bake for 18 minutes at 350 degrees F and then let cool completely then cut into bars or squares.

HDI meeting from page 2 A barrage of questions pelted Detlor, as he tried to explain that HDI puts all of this information in their reports, but the Confederacy Council “keeps their minutes” and disagreed with the idea of publicizing them on a website. “We are accountable because we report to Council every month,” said Detlor, further explaining that the Pauline Johnson land was bought under the Confederacy Council’s agreement. The question as to “who council is, which Chiefs,” was thrown and Detlor could not offer an answer, but Hill explained. “Nobody takes attendance at Council,” said Hill, “I don’t remember them all off-hand, but I can go back and check my minutes,” she said.

Many other questions were raised and the tension in the room grew thick. Detlor then explained food sustainability and housing on the land that has been and will be acquired, and the plan behind reacquiring the land along with a method of “decolonization.” A member of the Men’s Fire stood to remind people that Detlor and Hill are “two people trying to do the best they can,” and that the meeting was called to inform, not to give an opportunity to fight. Later into the meeting, Elvera Garlow stood to speak in defense HDI. “These people are working, really hard. And it’s not for themselves, it’s not for themselves. They have to make a living,

they have to put bread on the table for their children and grandchildren,” said Elvera Garlow. “Anyway, I just think that a lot of things go on that have been helping the confederacy. You may not know about it, but it’s been a long time since we stood up our Chiefs and that’s what we have to do is support those Chiefs and support those Clanmothers. Not put them down, put them up, hold them up,” she finished. After another series of questions that were not fully addressed, a pair from Oneida left the meeting after not being given the chance to ask their questions, and several other departed.

Staff and volunteers at the Everlasting Tree School gathered last week to beautify their school with an interesting painting technique called "lazure". Lazure is thin layers of paint consisting of water, binder and pigment. It is applied to the walls in a figure 8 motion with large, broom-like brushes. This technique allows light to pass through the thin layers of colour. The layers of almost transparent colour have a beautiful, calming effect that is not too hard on the eyes. Many Waldorf and Waldorf-inspired classrooms use this technique to create nurturing, calm spaces for children and educators.

No Rain Check for Annual Walk-A-Thon in Ohsweken By Chezney Martin The Miles to Go Cancer Support Group held their 9th Annual “Night of Caring and Sharing” Walk-AThon at the community track in Ohsweken on Saturday, August 29. From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. participants of all ages walked as long as they could; with tents, supper, breakfast, fireworks, movies and snacks provided. Each participant was required to fill a form of pledges with a minimum of $25, and all proceeds went to the Miles to Go Cancer Support Group. Along with events for the evening, participants released lanterns and balloons in unison, making the event that much more enjoyable. Booths from Tsi Non:we Ionakeratstha, Six Nations Long-term Care/Home Community and Palliative Care, Enaahtig Healing Lodge and Learning Centre and the Brant County Hospital were set up alongside a loonie table and food tent for participants and visitors to visit. Coordinator Terry Hill said this year was “a great suc-

this is our ninth annual walk, next year is the big one. So we’ve already got ideas for that because we plan a year ahead,” she said with a smile. “So, what we do is we help others to help themselves. Essentially we offer some financial assistance to (members with cancer), whether they need to get back and forth between appointments, or sometimes your appointment you thought was going to be two hours, turns into six and you might not have brought money and need something to eat,” she said.

She explained that walkers can do a victory lap to honour their journey, and a memory lap to honour those lost to cancer. Among the walkers honouring those that were lost to cancer was Billie Styres. “My mom, Billie Styres is a double amputee and she wanted to come and try and do a lap for my brother Mel, he passed away a couple weeks ago,” said Toni Martin, Styres’s daughter. “She managed to do it, she had to rest for a minute but she was good. We wanted to all get together and do a lap in memory of

him,” said Martin. She explained that the t-shirts they wore were “done last minute,” but were great in memory of her brother nonetheless. “I just thought I was going to start with Miles

Six Nations Polytechnic looking for new artists By Lindsay Monture New to this school year, Six Nations Polytechnic will be bringing students the chance to discover and study the fine arts at home with the Indigenous Visual Arts program offered through the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto. “What we’re trying to do is introduce new opportunities to explore what the arts could mean, not only traditionally and historically, but also putting new tools and new techniques and new ideas into the hands of students I think will be very fruitful,” Says Rick Hill, Deyohaha:ge Senior Project Coordinator at the Indigenous Knowledge Centre in Six Nations Polytechnic. “I personally believe the arts are a very important manifestation of culture and identity, no matter what you do with it. It’s an important act of clearing your mind or balancing your spirit and also doing something meaningful in the world.” SNP had been contacted by OCAD to collaborate and develop the program, after they discovered some of the challenges of getting more native students to register for art school in Toronto. The partnership helps to bridge the gap for those students receiving support and living at home in Six Nations, and the challenges that can come along with moving away and adjusting to life in the big city. The Indigenous Visual Arts program offers several courses, which includes traditional Indigenous sculpture, installa-

Rick Hill shares artifacts from a traditional Haudenosaunee arts display at the Indigenous Knowledge Centre. The techniques used to create these works will be some of many skills students will develop in the Indigenous Visual Arts program. PHOTO BY LINDSAY MONTURE tion and materials classes, visual arts, art history and Indigenous studies, and a techniques class available online. Students can complete the first year and receive a SNP certificate, or continue on to transfer to OCAD to complete the rest of the 4 year program to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Indigenous Visual Culture. SNP are also offering evening courses that are accessible to anyone who wishes to take them, such as the Indigenous materials and methods class. “We’re offering a super bargain to be able to come and take it because we want to encourage this idea,” says Hill. “We’re really hoping to build this up. We have some students right now but hopefully

by January we will have more.” Hill’s curatorial work at the Indigenous Knowledge Centre benefits the program greatly, given the amount of information on traditional and contemporary Indigenous art they have available. With this much support for the arts, anyone interested in the program can be assured that this program will produce a lot of talent and success within the community. “They used to say we’re all born with a certain gift. That could be the power of your imagination. It’s a gifted inspiration, but you also have a social responsibility to develop that and then use it for the benefit of your community.” Hill encourages the

community to continue to keep our traditional art practices at home to share. “Right now, our arts have been colonized. All the best things that we do get sold and exhibited elsewhere,

you hardly see it in our own community, so I kind of want us to bring that all back, to repatriate our art back home.” Hill’s father was an ironworker who, at 55

years old, decided to quit building and become an artist. Hill’s brother had passed in a car accident, causing his father to contemplate the meaning of life. “He went to Alaska, he was mountain climbing, and sees this eagle come to the river and grabbed this big salmon. The salmon weighed so much it could have pulled the eagle in the water. Something happened to my dad in that moment of life and death struggle, somehow it resolved all his issues.” His father then began to carve antlers. “So an ironworker at the age of 55 can discover the artist within, imagine what talent lays within most of us. But I would encourage people not to wait until you’re 55 to find out. Let’s see what we can find out right now!” Six Nations Polytechnic continues to accept applications for anyone interested in the program.

Mohawk Screenwriter chosen for Sundance Institute workshop By Liz Hill Screenwriter Kaherawaks Thompson, St. Regis Mohawk, was chosen as one of just six young Native writers to participate in the Sundance Institute’s inaugural Native Writer’s Workshop held in conjunction with the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) that took place on the IAIA campus on July 15-19 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Thompson is a 2010 Sundance Institute Native Fellow whose short script, “Tehokkenhén:tons,” was produced in 2012. Her script submitted for the workshop, “Lefty’s Hymn,” tells the story of a Kanien’kehá:ka fiddler who finds it difficult to refuse an insistent stranger’s too-good-tobe-true offer to play a private outdoor event. Thompson’s script was chosen from a nationwide call for short script submissions. “During our workshop the screenwriters were paired with professional mentors from the film and television industry in a program designed to enhance their approach to the craft of storytelling as well as to prepare them for the realities of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry,” said Sundance Institute Native American and Indigenous Program Director N. Bird

Runningwater, Cheyenne and Mescalero Apache. Thompson was born and raised in Akwesasne. She attended community college, film school and culinary school, completing a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. She currently resides in Memphis, Tennessee. “I was so honored and excited to work with Sundance Institute’s Native Program again,” said Thompson. “The 2010 Fellowship changed my life, truly. Previously, I felt so alone and I just had no idea there were so many talented, passionate and active Native writers and filmmakers out there. It opened up a whole new world for me, and I met some really incredible people. I knew the program had changed since my 2010 Fellowship but I also knew it would be another intense, intimate and productive experience.” “The common thread is definitely Sundance Institute’s commitment to story and authenticity,” said Thompson. “I would do a hundred workshops with them, if I could!” “I became a screenwriter out of necessity—I was an avid reader at a young age and wrote my first short story at the age of seven,” said Thompson. “I continued to write short stories into my 20s

Kaherawaks Thompson of St. Regis. SUBMITTED PHOTO but never knew what to do with them. I have always really loved movies and reached a point where the written word wasn’t enough on its own anymore—in my mind, I could so clearly see the worlds and characters I had created and realized that film is the most powerful storytelling medium, for me.” “It really is incredible to see your work come to life; and it’s even more incredible that films have the ability to take on a life of their own, one that you never even knew was on the page,” said Thompson. “Being Mohawk has influenced my work in many ways,” said Thompson. “I grew up watching John Wayne movies with my aunt and always wondered why the Native characters were so one-dimensional and unlike any Natives I knew in real life. Even as a child, it

was clear to me that we need to make our own films, and tell our own stories, in our voices. To be honest, all of my work features Mohawk characters, but the fact that they are Mohawk isn’t the point of the story. They just happen to be Mohawk, like me. It’s important that my characters are all unique and non-stereotypical. Also, I have many relatives who are great orators—I am not. I try to carry on the great oral tradition in my own way, in film.” The Sundance Institute workshop was intimate and intense with the six writers and mentors sitting around a conference table and discussing their work with one another for several days. “I expected great feedback and honest critiques, which I received, but I was also blown away by the incredible support and camaraderie,” said Thompson. “Sundance Institute workshops are definitely a safe space for writers—it’s okay to be vulnerable and brutally honest.” “All of the advisers really weren’t afraid to dig deep to understand the writers and our stories, and didn’t shy away from challenging us,” said Thompson. “In film, every scene matters. If you have a scene you love just because it’s flowery or special to you, but doesn’t

progress the story, the advisers will call you out on it. The honesty and openness among everyone was truly inspiring.” “Kaherawaks continues to be dedicated to honing her skills as a screenwriter, which will help provide a solid foundation for her future projects,” said Runningwater. “Her voice is authentic and sincere and we cannot wait to see how her film evolves.” For the past year, Thompson has been working on her first feature screenplay, which was accepted into imagineNATIVE Festival’s inaugural writing lab in May 2014. “I also have several short film scripts, one of which I worked on at the Sundance Institute/IAIA workshop and will continue to work on, until I have the strongest draft,” said Thompson. “In 2012, the short script that I workshopped as a Sundance Institute Native Fellow in 2010, “Tehokkenhén:tons” (“Close To Death”), became a reality. The film is available through my non-profit distributor in Toronto, Vtape. Vtape has one of the largest collections of Indigenous film and video art from around the world. They are a great resource for Native filmmakers.” Thompson encourages young Mohawks who are considering a film

career to pursue their dreams. “Read screenplays, watch movies, apply for workshops, attend film festivals,” said Thompson. “I had no idea what I was doing when I wrote my first screenplay—it was a muddled mess. I learned the format from reading scripts of movies I was familiar with and from technical screenwriting books. I’m lucky that my story and ideas rose above enough that I was given chances to workshop my material with experienced writers, pretty early on. I highly recommend applying for workshops and fellowships, particularly through Sundance Institute and imagineNATIVE Festival.” “Always, always apply, for everything and anything,” said Thompson. “Don’t take rejection personally, ever. There are so many fantastic opportunities out there for Indigenous writers and filmmakers, youth especially. People often say to me, “I have good ideas, but I can’t write.” I don’t believe in that. If you are passionate and have stories to tell, work on your craft, your voice will become stronger.”
