The Tobacco law was approved at Chiefs Council on Saturday and will be implemented in the coming months.
HCCC tobacco taxation approved and coming to Six Nations industry By Nahnda Garlow OHSWEKEN – Tobacco retailers, manufacturers and other industry workers on Six Nations will soon be paying taxes on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory to either the Canadian federal government or the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) following the passing of the controversial Tobacco Law at Confederacy Council this weekend. While details on how much retailers and growers will have to pay are not currently available, the draft version of the tobacco law states
that those who opt out of paying the HCCC tax can decide to pay taxes on their tobacco to “foreign nations” if they so choose. In a statement issued by the HCCC, Haudenosaunee Trade Collective (HTC) representative Kris Green said, “This is a truly historic moment for us. This is something that was begun by our grandfathers and two decades later here we are implementing what they started.” The Tobacco Law at Oswe:ge has been in development by the HTC along with the HCCC since the Harper government announced plans
to make changes to the Criminal Code of Canada making all unstamped tobacco contraband and subject to mandatory fines and jail time for those guilty of trafficking. Previously, HCCC and the HTC received criticism and opposition to the law from three clans, Onondaga Beavers, Cayuga Snipe and Cayuga Wolf, saying imposing a law of this kind is contrary to the Great Law and replicated a western governance model. A resolution was passed in light of those concerns and the HTC made a promise to meet with those three clans
and work together to address their concerns and amend the law through to December 2015. However during this weekend’s council meeting where representation for the Onondaga Beavers, Cayuga Snipe and Cayuga Wolf were absent, the law was re-proposed and passed in a surprise move leaving many wondering what came of the December 2015 timeline given previously and what of the amendments made that were requested by clan families. The law will be finalized and implemented over the next few months. Green said,
“Now the real work begins. The next steps are a long list of housekeeping items that have to happen now to set up the tobacco board and license office, establishing priorities before actual implementation begins.” According to the statement issued by the HCCC, the trade collective will give monthly updates to the HCCC on the progress of tobacco law implementation. This is the first type of taxation law the HCCC has ever attempted to implement on Grand River territory, and the first time a traditional council has put forward a law
of this type in the history of the Confederacy. Haudenosaunee communities across North America including Kahnawake, have also been working on implementing tobacco regulations that would tax their citizens through the community’s elected band council. Kahnawake’s tobacco regulations were recently shared with that community and approximately 20 residents were in attendance to hear its details and provide feedback.

Fire prevention week comes to Ohsweken By TRT Staff
“There is no better time than the present to ensure your home and family are prepared in the event of a fire,” says Six Nations Fire Chief Matthew Miller.
The Six Nations Fire and Emergency Service Department wish to raise the level of awareness about the need for fire safety and prevention in the Six Nations community as well as other First Nations Communities.
“This is something we all need to take seriously,” says Miller. According to statistics provided by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, fire losses, deaths, injuries and destruction of
property in First Nation communities far exceed those in comparable off reserve communities. There are some interesting statistics to back up this claim. Incidence of fire damage is 2.1 times greater than a non-reserve community, with incidence of fire injury 2.5 times greater and death rates by fire is 10.4 times greater. “Within the Six Nations community these statistics are easily seen as they are amplified due to our current population size of approximately 18,500 (13,000) registered and 5500 non registered members living within the community,” says Miller. “This population total means the Six Nations of the Grand River is the most populated first nation community in all Canada and as a result we have the busiest first nation fire service in all of Canada.” In 2008 a comprehensive review of Fire Protection Services within the Six Nations Communi-
ty was completed by Risk Management Consultants of Canada. Comparing Six Nations to non-first nation communities of similar size, the statistics are easily seen. For example, while Wellington North, with a population of 11,477, has an average of 187 calls a year, and Elliot Lake receives 350 fire calls a year, Six Nations gets 700. The annual budget per capita for Wellington North is $72 and Elliot lake is $74.81 per capita, Six Nations fore services gets $25 per capita. Most communities in Canada are provided with legally mandated fire prevention and protection services based on standards established through complimentary federal and provincial legislative frameworks. First Nations communities like Six Nations are the exclusive responsibility of the Federal Government of Canada, but there is no legislative framework to mandate fire prevention and protection standards in these com-

munities. There is no legislative framework for the application of the National Building and Fire Code in First Nations Communities. This is extremely dangerous as there are no applicable building or fire code standards that govern fire prevention and protection in First Nations. Currently there is no legislative framework for fire inspections; there is no requirement to conduct them or to enforce code violation. The same is true for fire investigations, which are sporadically conducted in communities at the voluntary initiative of the responsible fire department. Each province has a fire marshal and/or Commissioners office. Since First Nations status fall under federal responsibility, there is no Fire Marshal responsible for fire safety and prevention within Canada’s First Nations communities. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Solar panel project announces completion By Chezney Martin
SIX NATIONS – Six Nations and the County of Brant announced the completion of a solar panel project constructed on the roof top of the Oneida Business Park on Friday, October 2. After the Thanksgiving Address and Haudenosaunee Sky Dancers
performed, words from several important members of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNDC) and the County of Brant spoke in regards to the completion of the 500 kilowatt solar panel project. The project will generate 500 kilowatts of energy using the 2,307 solar
panels, and is expected to generate no less than $2.5 million dollars in consolidated net cash flow to the community in the next 20 years. This project has also allowed direct employment of Six Nations members to complete the installation, and the project is the first solar investment located within the

Chief Ava Hill spoke on Six Nations’ commitment to clean energy. “We really appreciate the partnership with our neighbours and we hope that we can have more joint ventures as time goes on,” said Hill. “We are, as well, involved with several other renewable energy projects, like we are partners with Samsung and just last July we did the opening of the largest, still the largest solar farm in the country,” she explained. “So, Six Nations is certainly doing its part in climate change.” Mayor Ron Eddy spoke in high regards of the partnership with Six Nations. “We are thrilled to be celebrating the ribbon cutting of the 500 kw Roof Top Solar Project in partnership with our neighbour Six Nations and that’s a very meaningful expression,” said Eddy. “This mutually beneficial
partnership project is an excellent example of the economic, social and environmental benefits to both communities. It has also

The big lie we all believed This weekend The Martian topped the box office with a whopping $55 million in ticket sales. Matt Damon stars in the film as a courageous astronaut who gets left behind by accident on the Red Planet when the space mission goes awry. For the first time in his life this white American male is surrounded by a completely hostile environment and must rely on external factors to keep him alive until he is rescued. Although it may sound grim, Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian says, “It’s all about cheerful and unreflective persistence, finding ingenious ways of surviving, improvising with what’s available and making the best of things, having a laugh and never giving up.” For an indigenous person growing up in North America that sounds familiar. We’ve been lost in a different hostile environment called Canada since the 19th century and the movies that tell our story are not blockbusters at the box office. Peter Bradshaw’s review of the Martian could easily double as a review for “Where the Spirit Lives” the 1989 Canadian drama about a resilient female survivor of residential school. For anyone who doubts the innate hostility of the Canadian system we first must remember that Canada has an international reputation as a “good” country and will fight to maintain that. But the clues for anti-indigenous hostility are all around us. Six Nations is mourning the loss of a vibrant young woman who took her life on the weekend and we at the Two Row Times give our condolences to the family and community. According to Health Canada, indigenous youth are 5 to 6 times more likely to commit suicide than Canadians are. I, Jonathan Garlow write these editorials week to week and was considering why this happens and last night had a realization. We are surrounded on every side by a hostile environment that has manufactured and propagated a big lie – a myth – a pseudo-reality. The Canadian system and society tells us that we as the original people of this continent have no value and are worthless. It is a 522 year old message that has remained unchanged. Our people started believing it when the smallpox and famine killed 90% of us and reduced our population to virtually nothing. “Your Creator has forsaken you” they would say – “you are worthless.” Then as the trees were cut down and our proud society was paved over with
cement and asphalt, our histories nearly lost and our ancient cities forgotten it was called “progress.” The King of Christianity the Pope who is God’s so-called Vicar and representative on earth declared that we have no souls and are sub-human. The highest authority on earth sent us a clear message – “you are worthless.” Although we had international agreements called peace treaties they were broken when our survivors were rounded up like cattle and put on the worst patches of land called reserves. As they captured our children and forced them into residential schools the teachers taught them how to hate themselves with a lesson – “Your culture and language are worthless.” The doors of the last residential school prison closed in 1995 but the aftereffects of colonization manifest themselves generationally within indigenous society through addictions, suicide, alcoholism, abuse, and every possible expression of pain and suffering. When indigenous people believe the lie of worthlessness there is no need to force the children into residential school because the institution forms within our own hearts and our home becomes the prison. A generation of young children become colonized by their own parents who do not know any other way. Now we colonize each other. Every time a child is bullied on the school yard they are being told the same old lie – “you are worthless.” When the school yard monitor watches but doesn’t do anything they are tell the child – “If you were important I would help.” And if the parent hears about it and doesn’t take any action they are just confirming the big lie once again and the child learns that when they are abused it’s ok. This cycle proliferates again and again until it becomes 1181 missing and murdered indigenous women. Canada refuses to investigate because it would contradict their lie of worthlessness to find a solution. They cannot incriminate themselves so there will be no inquiry, besides – the RCMP has already done an investigation and they say indigenous men are responsible. In The Martian film Matt Damon’s character hopes against hope that he will be rescued someday. The sad reality here in this land is that there is no hope of a dramatic rescue. Our ancestors are with us in spirit but it is put upon the shoulders of our own people to find our way back home. It our responsibility to remind each other that we have great worth.

Eye of the Tiger Sago Skennako, So let’s have strength in our heart and minds so we can be the independent free spirits that Sonkwaiatison the Great Natural Spirit intended us to be. We are born free like the wind and birds as opposed to those born into credit card bondage and infinite debt slavery. There are words in the Mohawk language about the sanctimoniousness of freedom. The word sovereign gets thrown around but what is it? We always declared ourselves free, distinct and sovereign. I think this can be best summed up by Levi “Deskaheh” General when he said “Real men don’t take orders. My forefathers were real men with our own little Birch Bark Navy.” Money can buy us memories but it can’t buy true freedom because we still are in the confines of somebody else’s authority when we are in their debt. Paying into a man-made machine, a system, is equivalent to slavery. This was never the intent of the Creator, for us to have overlords. Sitting Bull said we are poor but we are free. I want nothing to do with your reservation handouts. I feed myself, true sovereignty. Home businesses, growing corn, beans and squash, cultural iden-
tity. We need them all. We never pay fealty to a King or Queen. The battles of yesterday made me strong. Handing merchandise over a counter in shops feeds our families but it doesn’t give you the hunting instinct. The pure inner strength gives the courage you need to survive crossing a semi-frozen springtime river or to fighting an angry full grown bull moose. These things can’t be taught in elementary school or university. They can only be learned on the battlefield by men. I always made my own rules growing up listening to stories, hearing the word sovereignty. It was stuck in my head. I read about Haudenosaunee history and our tactics of war. Call me an outlaw because a Mohawk traditional sovereigntist is considered an outlaw anyway because anyone that doesn’t pay or contribute to the system is considered a criminal. So when I turned 12 years old and was becoming a man I got my hands dirty and bloody on the battlefield. I never took orders or paid income tax and never told on nobody. Some mild mannered Cayuga Kaiiakohono Princess once told me I had a crazy look in my eyes and I promptly exclaimed

that this crazy look in my green and grey Mohawk eyes has kept you alive for the last 500 years. Some call it the thousand yard stare or in Rocky’s era it was the Eye of the Tiger. It’s a look of paid dues. We need true hearted, clean warriors down for the cause. Calling Yeti:skennaketi women fighters that fight for their Haudenosaunee nations and bear the children and our future. Real women make warriors and aren’t afraid to love unconditionally. In return we teach the children to love. True love knows no fear. My mom loved me unconditionally now in return I love everyone and my nation first before myself. I am prepared to lay down my life in defense of the coming faces. Anytime, anywhere. There is power in our thousands of youth. There are more and more alpha females rising in our midst. Get out on that battlefield and earn the Mohawk stare of a fighter, hunter, and warrior. Pay your dues. Wakiro!!

OP-ED Splitting the vote could return Harper to power By Jim Windle BRANT – The way the Canadian voting system works can sometimes come down to basic mathematics. Even though there are other alternatives like the Green Party and a few others, these are votes that actually help the Conservatives retain power. Whenever for a majority incumbent, in this case, Harper’s Conservatives, the more opposition parties and independents there are in the race the better. For numbers sake, let’s use the results from the last federal election in 2011 that returned Harper to the PMs role with a majority government. That means that his party gleaned more regional seats than all the opposition combined. At least with a minority government Harper was kept relatively under check, but with a majority, he has a carte blanch leadership role without the Liberals and NDP snapping at their heels. Locally, in 2011, in-
cumbent Phil McColeman won the riding with 3,402 votes representing 48.9% of those who voted in the Brant riding. Next was Marc Laferriere for the NDPs with 16,351 votes for 28.5% of the riding votes. In last place were the Liberals with Lloyd St. Amand attracting 10,780 votes for 18.8%. Together, the NDP, Liberal, Green and independent candidates earned 50.4% of the votes. That means 49.6% of the voters in the riding want McColeman and the Conservatives in power. Actually, the majority did not want a Conservative MP. But that is how the system works. The party wins that gets the most votes on the ballot. Even if you really like a local representative whose name appears on the ballot, but hate the federal party they represent, one is stuck. In this case, a vote for McColeman, who very well may be a good guy on a personal level, is also a vote for Harper, who may not be. The Conservatives
have taken a PR ass-kicking lately over Harper’s hell-bent-for-leather crusade on behalf of “big oil” and “big international conglomerates” at the expense of local, regional and even national Canadian businesses, and the health and wellbeing of Canada itself. The Liberals, in our estimation, have shot themselves in the foot over the last two elections by putting in place a national leader with the personality of an old dishrag. This time, they have a leader with a very big name recognition factor, which is also important in an election, but Mr. Trudeau Jr., has not emerged as the dynamic leader his father used to be and can’t seem to find his own place out of the shadow of Pierre-Elliott, both with those who liked P.E.T. and those who did not. Without doubt, the Mulcair NDPs have also noted the state of the local Conservative and Liberal candidates and have put resources towards the Brant riding, in a concerted effort to return the tele-
phone city and its neighbours to the fold. Mulcair has been to the Brant riding seven times, and twice in the past few weeks alone to support Laferriere. What has changed? Brant/Brantford used to be an NDP stronghold and the rift between themselves and trade unions has sufficiently healed. This time, with the blue collar vote returning, and
if those Six Nations and New Credit voters go orange again this time the Native vote could easily make the difference. Last election, Six Nations/New Credit ballots showed 169 NDP votes, 40 PC votes and 1 Liberal vote. We do not encourage those who do not participate in a foreign election to do so, however, those who
do are encouraged to keep in mind which party has dedicated itself to fixing some of the troubled relationships and long standing land claims between Onkwehonwe people and Canada, and which have promised but have not followed through after the election. Only one has not reneged.

as the original Six Nations Mohawk whether written or spoken. We need to embrace the original Six Nations language and not embody a new language. Six Nations Mohawk has a specific pronunciation and meaning for every word. From the article, the following is an example of what I am trying to get across to people: Tohsa sewana:Khwen -- I am assuming this interprets to: “Don’t get mad.” Doh sa enh se wa na
gonh -- Six Nations Mohawk: “Don’t get mad.” Many times I have been approached by others including fluent speakers who have gone on to the Skyworld, regarding correct pronunciation and to the infusion of other dialects. From my experience we all spoke the same dialect. There was no difference...from Townline Road, Bateman Line, Sour Springs Road to River Range Road, we all spoke the same and understood each other. Can you imag-
ine if each family spoke a different dialect? We’d be lost. First language speakers share the same opinion and concern that integrating and incorporating other Mohawk dialects into the original Six Nations Mohawk will not only become eroded but eventually become extinct. For those that are second language speakers/teachers, I would strongly recommend the use of the pronunciation key used by the Mohawk
of Six Nations that was written and published in 1958 by Julia L. Jamieson, Founder, Organizer and Teacher of the Mohawk School at David Thomas Memorial Hall. Also tapes produced by Laura Johnson, Mini Jacobs, Dolly Hill, Vina Loft and Peter Loft be used as another source. Don’t throw away the original Six Nations Mohawk! Fran Hill

NDP hungry for Brant-Brantford riding By Jim Windle
BRANTFORD – NDP leader Tom Mulcair paid his seventh visit to Brantford, his second within weeks, to throw the party’s support behind Brant-Brantford NDP candidate Marc Laferriere, on Sunday morning outside his constituency headquarters on Erie Ave. About 300 party faithful got up early to welcome Mulcair back to Brantford and to show their support for the NDP in advance of the Oct. 19th federal election. Laferriere was excited that the national party has taken such an interest in his campaign. “It’s really important that we hit the ground running right after the election,” he told the Two Row Times regarding his party’s commitment to First Nations land claims and funding issues. “Every single election, Phil Mc-
Coleman has said land claims is his top priority. If that’s his top priority I wouldn’t like to see what his second, third and fourth are.” Both he and Mulcair said that Stephen Harper’s economic policies have cost Canadians 400,000 jobs. The party has also been highly critical of the Harper government’s Bill C–51, which has been seen as an attack on the civil rights of Canadians and First Nations in particular. The NDP was the only party to openly oppose Bill C–51. Mulcair also said he would return eligibility for Old Age Security to age 65, from 67 and start a pharmacare program. It was the first stop of Mulcair’s whirlwind whistle-stop tour of southern Ontario, which also included stops at Essex, Waterloo, Stratford, London, Sarnia and Windsor. He outlined his party’s concerns about what
Brant-Brantford NDP candidate Marc Laferriere welcomed party leader Tom Mulcair at his constituency office on Erie Ave early Sunday morning. Mulcair's 7th visit to Brantford underscores the party's desire to once again be an NDP stronghold as it once was in the Derek Blackburn/Mac Makarchuk years. he called the “secret meetings” taking place in Atlanta regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, which he believes will negatively affect Canadian dairy farmers and the auto industry. Some Liberals, meanwhile, have left the door open to join the Conservatives in endorsing and implementing the agreement, however, Trudeau has been coy about giving a definitive

answer to the question saying he will not comment on an agreement he knows little about since he has not seen it. “The NDP, when we form government on Oct. 19, will not be bound by this secret agreement (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement) that
Mr. Harper has been negotiating,” Mulcair said. He is offering Canadians a fresh start. “Getting tired of the Liberals and the sponsorship scandal? No problem, you’re supposed to go back to the Conservatives,” The NDP leader told the gathering before getting back on the bus for the next stop. “When you’re tired of Stephen Harper’s unblemished record of continuous corruption and a revolving door of favoritism and $90,000 cheques in the Prime Minister’s Office? No problem, you’re supposed to go back to the Liberals,” he said. “Hold on. This time, for the first time in our history, there’s hope. We can get real change.” Statistics show that while Harper is point-
ing fingers at the lost jobs that anything other than a Conservative government would hasten, there have been 400,000 lost manufacturing jobs since the recession in 2008, including 43,000 in Canada’s auto industry. The Canadian Labour Congress as well as the United Steelworkers, Unifor and several other unions have openly joined the ranks of those wishing to see Harper gone after Oct. 19th. Before leaving, Mulcair challenged all present to give a few hours to help the cause by joining Laferriere’s campaign team by making phone calls and helping drive voters to the polls on election night as well as to the advance poles.

Fire Prevention Week from page 4 “Currently First Nations across Canada receive funding for fire protection service only,” says Miller. “This means that if you or a family member were to collapse into cardiac arrest we are not funded to respond. If you were in a car accident and became trapped in your car, we are not funded to respond. If the car caught fire with you trapped in it, we could respond and put the fire out, but we are not funded to rescue you from your car.” These are serious flaws in the federal system of evaluating budgets for First Nations fire prevention and services. “What has never been taken into consideration is the diversity of each First Nation,” Miller points out. “Just as every off reserve Municipality or City is unique, so are First Nation Communities. The needs in Six Nations for Fire Services are not necessarily what are needed in another First
Nation. Other important information not being considered include the present population, future growth, geographical size, housing, schools, the business sector, two arenas, horse barns, sports fields and ball diamonds, the nursing home, elders complex, day care centres, motels, several public buildings and more. “The Six Nations Fire Service is faced on a regular basis with many unique challenges, we are pushed to our limits on a regular basis but continue to do our best to provide Emergency Fire Service to the Six Nations Community to the best of our ability,” says Miller. “These are the circumstances that we face on a regular basis and another incident of serious injury or death is only a matter of time.” Since January of 2015 Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services have had seven Six Na-
tions Community members treated as a result of structure fires, 1 which was rescued unresponsive from a burning house and spent weeks in the burn unit. Since January of 2015 they have been averaging 2-3 structure fires per month. Since January of 2015 there has been a total of 15 firefighters treated as a result of fire. “Incidents of fire are increasing in the Six Nations community and the only solution is more firefighters to fight our existing call volume concurrent with fire prevention & education to the community.,” Miller says. “Until legislative change and proper funding occurs we will continue to be stuck in a worsening perpetual circle of increasing fire incidents resulting in property loss, injury and possibly death.”

Northern Gateway project decision appealed By Jim Windle with files from NationTalk VANCOUVER ‑ The troubled Enbridge Northern Gateway project is being challenged at every level from both First Nations and environmentally conscious non-Native groups and individuals, and may be Prime Minister Harper’s undoing on October 19th when Canada goes to the polls. One of the most recent legal challenges to gain traction is that of the Gitxaala Nation (Kitkatla) of BC. They began hearings last week at the Federal Court of Appeal defending Gitxaala Nation’s right to be meaningfully consulted by the Government of Canada on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project. “This legal action is a watershed moment for the Gitxaala,” Nees Ma’Outa (hereditary and elected Chief Cliff White) said in an interview with NationTalk. “After six years working through
the NEB’s regulatory process, there are more questions than answers about the potential environmental impacts of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Project. We will not stand by and accept the as-yet undefined consequences of a catastrophic oil spill, especially when we haven’t been properly consulted.” “The ocean is our garden” said hereditary Chief Txa gyet (Clarence Innis). “We are surrounded by a bounty of salmon, shellfish, and seaweed that sustains our life and our culture. The Enbridge project puts all this at risk. If there is an oil spill we will lose our food, our culture, our community.” “Today, we represent a speck in time relative to the thousands of years Gitxaala has managed its territory on a sustainable basis. Our duty is to honour our gugwilx’ya’ansk — which is to ensure and protect
our environment for future generations, for all Tsimshian people,” said hereditary Chief Txa La Xaatk (Matthew Hill). The duty to consult has been a political football since it was first brought to the surface in legal challenges in the BC Supreme Court in the early 2000’s, but defining what that actually means and who are and are not obliged to consult and with whom, is slowly being defined and codified through many court challenges since then. This latest case before the BC Court of Appeals with have significant ramifications, either way.

Local vigil honours the lives of murdered and missing indigenous women By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – In honour of the lives of missing Indigenous women across Canada, the Sisters in Spirit Vigil and Potluck was held in Veterans Park on Sunday, October 4. Chief Ava Hill emceed the event, saying “it is important for our communities to acknowledge this national tragedy.” “We are here today to ensure that the lives of

At the edge of the park — hung elegantly on the Veterans Park sign — was a knitted red dress. Sandra Montour explained that the dress was a symbol of another campaign known as the Red Dress Campaign. “The campaign was
1200 cases of murdered and missing women across the territory. There’s a lot more than that, we know that,” said Montour, as she mentioned the children that did not get a chance to be born, and the children lost to residential schools. “It has been an honour working with these families,” she said, in regards to grieved family members Chasidy Martin, Aileen Joseph and Norma General. “I don’t know their loss
NDP Candidate for Brantford-Brant, agreed with Montour saying “we know it’s higher” in regards to the number of murdered and missing indigenous women. “The indigenous population in Canada is the same [as the population] in New Brunswick. If 1200 women and girls went missing in New Brunswick, I think there would be an inquiry. Do you not think there would be mil-
Laferriere. “I fully support an inquiry; for years Sherry Louis has had me speak at Sisters in Spirit Vigils and at Sisters in Spirit events to talk about how important it is to get an inquiry. But, if we get an inquiry, we also need to have action. Because an inquiry is just one thing and an inquiry without action is kind of like an apology without action,” said Laferriere. “We can move
together, we can walk together on this and we can be allies, but if we can’t be allies on this then I don’t know what else we could be allies on because this is so important and it is so vital,” he said. The entire event was filled with emotions of both sadness and sorrow, as well triumph and determination to honour the lives of murdered and missing indigenous women.

the way they know their loss, but I have such love and compassion for each of them, and each of our community members that goes through that loss,” she said. “I can’t help but also think about the reaction across the world to the 276 girls in Nigeria, they said they were ‘stolen girls,’ and we [saw] the reaction. And yes, that was very sad and as I was listening and watching the world and the reaction to that, I couldn’t help but think ‘what about our women, what about our women who have been lost, and what about those stolen dreams and those stolen lives?’ We have so many,” she said. “I know that Canada, again, was giving resources to that country to bring those girls home, and yes they deserve to come home and they should come home. But so should our girls come home, so should our women come home, and so should our children have their mothers, and their sisters and their granddaughters,” she said. Mark Laferriere,

Onkwehon:we week in review Neskantaga declares water crisis THUNDER BAY, ON – Leadership suspects poor water quality for continued infections in young children in the community. With limited access to health professionals, no widespread diagnosis can be made. Neskantaga has been under a boil water advisory for 21 years. Chief Wayne Moonias will hold a press conference in Toronto, alongside Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, on Monday to plead his community’s case to the public. With only weeks remaining in the federal election campaign, leadership hopes their voices are heard and upheld, “While Canada announces their billions in surplus, our community can’t access clean water? What is the priority here? Enough is enough.” Chief Isadore encourages voters to consider, “Now is the time to eliminate decades of inaction by successive federal governments on providing the essential health services to First Nations.”
Red Dresses Honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women October 4 marked the 10th anniversary of Sisters in Spirit vigils and marches. The day is a national day of remembrance for over 1200 Missing and Murdered Indigenous women and girls. With over 150 actions taking place across the country to raise awareness and encourage solidarity, Metis artist Jaime Black went a step further and created the REDress campaign. Hundreds of red dresses were donated for an art installation with each red dress commemorating a lost life. Red dresses are hung in front yards, or carried in the front of marches to remember the lost lives. Black acknowledges that the sight of empty, flowing red dresses is haunting. She wants Canadians to always remember the ongoing violence and to work towards ending it.
The Reality of First Indigenous women have healthier Nation Fire Protecpregnancies when tion in Canada given cultural care Indigenous peoples living on reserve are 10 times more likely to die in a housing fire and this is because the Canadian government does not provide enough funding for fire services. In Six Nations, there are 26 000 registered members, with approximately 13 000 living on reserve. Six Nations is the most populated first nation in Canada. Currently, legislative framework does not exist for First Nation communities which would ensure that adequate funding is provided to protect the community, despite being the fiduciary responsibility of the federal government. In 2014, Six Nations Fire Department responded to over 700 emergency calls which were the direct result of common fire protection issues.
New research suggests that pregnant Indigenous women may have healthier pregnancies when treated by Indigenous carers. A group of pregnant women in Western Australia were treated by Indigenous midwives, grandmothers and health officers as part of a study by the Aboriginal Maternity Group Practice Program between July 2011 and December 2012. Christine Parry, an Aboriginal Health Officer, said many of the women in the community reported bad experiences with hospitals or lived too far so they didn’t seek care until well into the pregnancy. Ms. Parry wanted to change that by helping with transport, cultural guidance, spiritual advice and support. Six Nations offers its
own contemporary and traditional midwifery program. Tsi Non:we Ionnakeratstha Ona:grahsta was established in 1995 after the community decided to reclaim the birthing process.
Focus on Niqab overshadows key aboriginal issues
Despite poverty, health, resource extraction and transportation and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic, First Nation and Metis issues remain off the table, even though they affect more people than the handful who choose to wear the Niqab. The Niqab is a face covering worn by Muslim women. First Nations have faced similar racism since contact with European settlers. For example, the Sundance and Potlatch ceremonies were outlawed in 1885. According to Doug Cuthand, “this election campaign has seen an unprecedented level of racism, either in blatant attacks against Muslim Canadians or in the willful neglect of First Nation issues.”
Finalists Announced for Premier's Awards for Arts
The awards recognize the extraordinary achievements in the province. The 2015 laureates will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Royal Ontario Museum October 20th in Toronto, Ontario. Various First Nation artists and art organizations, like Christi Belcourt and the ImagineNATIVE film festival have been nominated. The winning artist receives $35 000 and selects a new, emerging artist who receives $15 000. The winning arts organization is awarded $50 000.

Hamilton teachers prod Queens Park for indigenous curriculum materials HAMILTON – News out of the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board indicates a shift in mainstream education regarding the importance of Onkwehonwe perspectives of politics and the environment. The Hamilton board is urging Ontario to explain and facilitate better understanding of issues, and the history of Canada’s troubled relationship with First Nations, Metis and Inuit people. The Board voted unanimously last week to draft a letter to Education Minister Liz Sandals encouraging her office to begin word with First Nations educators and communities to create a curriculum for that pur-
pose. They were following the lead of Halton’s public school board seeking the same recommendations to begin immediately. “We’ve got some incredible teachers and staff that are already making a difference on First Nations and the history of First Nations and creating greater awareness,” Flamborough trustee Penny Deathe told the Hamilton Mountain News. “I just feel that the ministry needs to make sure that it’s in our regular history curriculum so that there’s more information, more understanding of our First Nations.” Board Chair Todd

White says, “We want to make it part of our curriculum so all students will have an understanding of aboriginal affairs and how that links into everyday life. It would also provide supports for self-identified students, but also bridge that gap.” There are 391 board students who self-identified as being aboriginal in a Hamilton Board survey last year, although that number is likely higher because some students are reluctant to self-identify.

Moose in a jar – its not as tough as you think! By Kitty R. Lynn HEALTHY ROOTS - Canning meat and fish may seem like an overwhelming task. It is not as difficult as most people imagine and you have the satisfaction of knowing exactly what you are eating. Your sense of self sustainability surrounding food will be at an all-time high! Important facts to note about canning meat and fish. First, meat is a low acid food. You MUST use a pressure canner to process meat and fish. Water bath temperatures reach 180 degrees F but you need the 240 degrees F that is reached by steam in the
pressure canner. Secondly, no matter the recipe directions you must read the directions for using your pressure canner every time you use it. Always be sure and safe. The basic directions for canning meat are all similar but read your chosen recipe and canner directions before you start. The easiest meat to home can is stew meat. You can use beef, venison, moose or elk meat. If you partially thaw your meat it is easier to cut because it is firm and cuts easier and quicker. Cut away any bone, fat or gristle and cut the meat into cubes.
Prepare your jars, lids and rings and have your jar lifter handy. Put your pressure canner on the stove with two inches of water in it (again follow the directions specific to your pressure canner). Now prepare the meat to go in the jars. Put a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large frying pan and add the meat. Brown and partially cook the meat, seasoning as you desire. Using a slotted spoon, put the meat into the jars leaving 1 inch of head space. Once all the meat is browned and in the jars, add water to the pan to cook a broth to fill jars. When your broth is boiling, ladle it into the jars of meat leaving 1 inch
of head space. Now just like water bathing, wipe the jars, place your hot lids on. Firmly tighten rings on top. Now you are ready to pressure can your meat. Meat must be canned at 10 pounds pressure for 75 minutes for pints and half pints, 90 minutes for quarts. Follow the specific direction for using your pressure canner. When jars have been removed stand back and congratulate yourself. Canning meat is rewarding and not as hard to do as we think!

Dear Kitty I am writing to ask about kale. I have a long row of kale in my garden. How long will I be able to pick kale? Does it taste bad later in the fall season? When should I pull the plants out of my garden? Thank you, Kale Lover Dear Kale Lover, I am delighted to hear you

are growing kale. It is a nutritious, delicious alternative to spinach and other thick leaf greens in any salad or soup. Kale is considered a cold weather crop so the change of season to fall doesn’t change the taste of kale at all. Some greens get bitter, but kale gets better. It is actually at its peak flavour after a frost. You don’t have to pull your kale out
Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a casserole so tasty and easy everyone will want more! It can be one of your sides that is on the lighter side, which is an absolute compliment to roast turkey! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a larger crowd!
Apple Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients • 2 medium sweet potatoes • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice • 3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch rings • 2 tablespoons maple syrup of the garden. It is very tolerant of cold weather. When temperatures drop below freezing cover your kale under a thick mulch of straw. You can go out and pick kale even after a snow comes. If the winter is mild (and because kale is biennial) come spring thaw time it will grow new leaves for you to harvest. Late in the spring it will go to seed and you can let it
Directions Bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time in 350 degree oven until they can easily be poked with a fork, but are not overly soft. Trim ends, pull off peels and cut in 1/2 inch rounds. Butter small casserole dish with half the butter. In a small bowl stir spices together. Arrange half the apple rings and sweet potato rounds in alternating layers in the dish. Sprinkle with half the spice mixture and half the maple syrup. Layer in the rest of the apples and sweet potatoes ending with apples. Spring with remaining spices and drizzle on remaining syrup and dot with the rest of the butter. Cover tightly and bake until apples are very tender, 35-45 minutes.
seed itself out or collect the seeds. Remember to always pick your kale from the bottom up and don’t pick the top centre growth or you will stunt your plant. So leave your delicious kale to grow and continue to enjoy your harvest well into the season. Enjoy your kale! Kitty

• Pomegranate seeds — 1/2 cup • Flax seeds — 1-2 tsp (ground) • Pumpkin seeds — 1/2 cup • Sesame seeds — 1/4 cup • Sunflower seeds — 1/4 cup • Cumin seeds — 1 tbsp • Grape seeds — 1-2 tbsp
• Apricot seeds — 1/4 cup
Take a little time to look at the multitude of benefits each of these seeds provide. It will surprise and amaze you what these little gems can do for your health. Just remember to eat them raw!
The good food box is a once monthly food delivery program. The box contains a selection of 8-10 fruits and vegetables that varies through the seasons. The selection is the same for every box, just the amount differs. The small is $12 and is suitable for 1 or 2 people. A large is $17 and is for 3 or 4. You are welcome to order as many boxes as you like if you want more produce! Orders and payment are usually the second Wednesday of each month and pickup is the next Wednesday. We do partner with organizations and they can be invoiced directly. This is a great opportunity to have very reasonably priced produce available year round that is picked up right at 2676 Fourth Line!

AFN Chiefs makes statement on Orange Shirt Day; encourages indigenous voters to vote for change By Jim Windle OTTAWA – Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde is challenging First Nations, every Canadian, and federal party leaders to demonstrate through concrete action that every child in this country matters. Bellegarde said in a media release, “Each and every one of us must commit ourselves to reconciliation and ensure there is no further harm done to First Nations children and families. We must commit to First Nations control of First Nations education so that our children get the best education possible and that it values their languages and identities. With commitment and action, together we can and will close the gap by creating a new environment that strengthens First Nations families and communities and ensures that every
child thrives. Every single child must know that his/her voice, dreams, and success matters.” Bellegarde made his declaration while promoting Orange Shirt Day on September 30th in recognition of the harm caused by Indian residential schools. Although he did not formally back any of the Parties vying for the Prime Minister’s desk, he wasn’t coy about where his vote was not going. “Every person in this country has the opportunity to drive change on October 19,” he said. “The human and economic costs of maintaining the status quo are as astounding as they are unnecessary. We must commit to do better as a country. First Nations priorities must become Canada’s priorities because when we succeed, all of Canada succeeds.” Even though those within the Onkwehonwe

Six Nations police investigate fraud OHSWEKEN – On Monday October 5, 2015, Six Nations Police spoke with a Six Nations woman about a telephone call she received regarding fraud. The suspect male gave a presumably false name of Sam Young and claimed to work for the Royal Bank of Canada’s Anti Fraud unit in the Toronto area. He told the woman that $540 dollars was being withdrawn from her RBC debit card account and being sent to India. The man told her to go to her computer and he would provide her an e-mail address that would allow him to stop the bank transaction. The woman refused and told the man she would go to her local RBC. The woman asked the suspect man for a contact phone number or email address, which the man refused to pro-
vide and hung up on her. Six Nations Police have very limited information regarding Suspects at this time, but continue to investigate this fraud. Six Nations police would like to remind the public to never give out personal or financial information over the phone, at your door, or online unless you are certain of who you are providing it to. Be suspicious of any situation where someone is looking for money or personal information. Fraud is a serious criminal offence. If you are a victim of Fraud, you are urged to contact police immediately to report the incident. Your information may help protect others from becoming a victim. If you have information regarding any suspicious activity such as this call 519-445-4191.

GOOD MINDS STAND UP - Welcome to the 2nd annual Good Minds Stand Up campaign! Last October, this anti-bullying program reached First Nations homes and classrooms across the province with a simple message – good minds stand up to bullies. Throughout the month, we will be sharing guest submissions, resources, activities and more in a special section of The Two Row Times. This week, we are proud to feature some activi-
ties that can be utilized in the home or classroom. In addition to our exclusive weekly content, we are also holding a contest. Sign our anti-bullying pledge for a chance to win one of 5 great prizes! Full contest details are on page 19. Throughout our coverage area we will be distributing Good Minds Stand Up t-shirts for FREE. This is another way you can encourage people to practice
using the Good Mind and stand up to bullying. Snap a selfie of you wearing the shirt, post it to your social media feed with #goodmindsstandup to get the conversation started. Free t-shirts can be picked up at ILA Sports at 3201 Second Line or from KT Gas at 849 Highway 54 during their business hours. And finally, new to this year is our Youth Empowerment
Summit which we are presenting in partnership with Thru the RedDoor Studios. This summit will take place on Saturday October 24 at Thru the RedDoor studios, and will include a number of workshops on different topics such as music, photography and more. We are especially excited that Earl Lambert will be attending this event to give a keynote address. Lambert is a motivational
speaker and the founder of Proud to Be apparel. He will be sharing a message about self-worth and pride. The summit is totally free and includes the cost of lunch. We will also have bonus prizes at this event – so come on out for an extra chance to win! This is open to ALL First Nations across our coverage area – so get connected. Reach out to one another and encourage other First Nations people to work together to end lateral violence
in our communities. Stand up when you are being bullied. Stand up when someone else is being bullied and we just might turn the tide so we can all overcome the reign of the bully together. The Two Row Times would like to thank the Dreamcatcher Foundation for their continued support of the Good Minds Stand Up campaign.

It is said in our legends that a Peacemaker came to form the League of Five Nations (now the Six Nations with the addition of the Tuscarora Nation), and to establish peace. After travelling extensively with his message of peace, the Peacemaker chose a great white pine tree for Haudenosaunee warriors to cast
down their weapons of war and bury greed, envy, and strife. The warriors did as instructed, and a new peaceful era of our history was born. This was the beginning of the Six Nations Confederacy as we know it. All people have the responsibility to protect this peace. That’s what in-
spired local educator Robin Staats when she initiated Burying Our Weapons of Bullying – a classroom activity that inspires children to think about what weapons of bullying they can bury as they face a relatively new school year. The activity asks
children to write down on a paper arrowhead what weapons of bullying they would like to cast down – whether it be words, actions, or both. In Ms. Staats case, she then displayed them on her classroom door underneath a paper representation of the Tree
21
of Peace – green construction paper cutouts of her students’ hands made up the pine needles of the tree. Every day when the students walk in to class, they can be reminded of the weapons they chose to cast down. We are including a few cutout arrowheads that other teachers (and even
parents) can photocopy and use to do this activity within their own classrooms and homes. This is a great way to start a discussion about what bullying is, how we might bully others and to make a classroom vow to end bullying! Thank you Ms. Staats for the great idea!

Learn the Early Warning Signs of Bullying GOOD MINDS STAND UP - Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary
schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this
type of bullying has increased considerably Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying. Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumors about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.
Signs your child is being bullied
Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid
going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.
Signs your child is the bully
Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children
who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include: • easily becoming violent with others • having friends who bully others • blaming others quickly • comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her • getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators • picking on siblings • not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain
BEING BULLIED?
• • •
•
• • •
You are not alone – 1,100,000 Canadian youth are bullied at least once, each and every week. Stay close to kids or other adults who will help you. Report a bully to a trusted adult (teacher, principal, or parent/ guardian). Reporting sends a message that bullying is not ok. Remember that it is not your fault that you are being bullied.
• •
•
DO YOU SEE SOMEONE BEING BULLIED?
Invite someone who is being bullied to play with you. Bullies are less likely to pick on someone when they are with others. Be a friend – tell them they do not deserve to be bullied and it is not their fault. And – Use your words. Tell bullies that their behavior is not ok. Tell a trusted adult what is going on. Bullying stops within just 10 seconds, 57 per cent of the time when someone intervenes.
•
•
that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behavior continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behavior. Counseling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students. Editor’s note: An earlier version of this piece appeared in our Good Minds Stand Up section last year. We think it’s important for parents and teachers to recognize the signs of bullying so we chose to run it again.
ARE YOU A BULLY? Have you been hurt before? Talk to a trusted friend or adult and ask for help. Bullying won’t make you feel better, but reaching out for help can. Sometimes other kids might watch and laugh when they see you bullying. This does not mean its ok. Often it means other kids are uncomfortable and even afraid. In fact, 83 per cent of Canadian students say bullying makes them uncomfortable. Do you see another kid who is a little different from you and your friends? That’s good! Diversity makes the world a better place to be. Different does not mean bad, weird or worse than you. It just means different! You can apologize to people who you have hurt. Apologizing takes bravery! Step up to the challenge and make things right.

Corvairs now 9-0 with a bench of new faces By Jim Windle
CALEDONIA – Even with a bench of so many new players, Coach Mike Bullard and his coaching staff have left little doubt that the 2015– 2016 edition of the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs will be the team to beat if anyone else wants a sniff at the Sutherland Cup this spring. So far in this early season, the two-time Cup winning Corvairs are 9-0 after defeating the league bottom dwellers, the Pelham Panthers 4-1 at the Haldimand Centre Caledonia Arena Saturday night. Panthers’ goaltender Stephan Harvey was ridiculously good stopping 60 of 64 Corvairs shots while Marc Sinclair was fighting boredom at the other end of the ice facing a mere 14 shots. Without Harvey it would have easily been double digits, but the Corvairs just kept coming wave on wave and got enough pucks behind Harvey for the 4-1 win. Pelham scored the first goal of the game
It wasn't for a lack of opportunities, but the 9-0 Caledonia Corvairs fired 64 shots at Pelham Panthers 0-9 goalie Stephan Harvey but could only score four, enough to win it 4-1. They beat Thorold 5-1 in Thorold to keep the Caledonia winning streak going. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE with Thomas Young finding a loose puck in front of Sinclair at 4:31. Austin Brown got that one back before the end of the period assisted by
Matt McCartney and Corey Pawley on a power play. The Corvairs had a 20–3 shot advantage in the second period but
could only beat Harvey once to take the second period lead. Mitch Green netted a power play goal from Austin Brown and Jake Brown.
Ryan Punkari and Mitchell Fitzmorris scored in the third to secure the Caledonia win and keep their perfect record intact.

2015-16 Blast boasts three Six Nations players By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – For the last four seasons, Cameron Sault has been a stalwart for Peter Ham’s Brantford Blast Sr. AAA hockey franchise, creating excitement with every shift. He will be joined this year by Hagersville Hawks grad, Dakota Powless of Six Nations’ and minor-pro journeyman Jason Hill who be joining Sault with the Blast for the 2015-2016 Allan Cup Hockey season. General Manager and President Peter Ham is high on both of the new acquisitions and is more than pleased that Sault has returned. “Cam is one of the premier players in this league,” says Ham. “This will be his fourth season with us and I am very pleased that he is back with us again this year.” Dakota Powless is a big defenseman who plays a very physical game. At 6’2” and 230
lbs., when he hits you, you know you’ve been hit. “Dakota comes very highly recommended by Derek Medeiros,” says Ham. “His younger brother Dan played with him in Hagersville and had nothing but positive things to say about him.” Ham obviously agreed with the evaluation and signed him to the 2015-2016 season. Jason Hill is a veteran pro player who toured the minor pro circuit over the past few seasons, mainly in the USA. Hill, now 31-years of age, lives in Niagara Falls New York but is from Six Nations originally. In his last year of pro, 2012-13, Hill scored 39 goals and 66 assists for 105 points in 51 games with a remarkable +40 in the plus/minus column. The Blast open the new season at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, Oct. 30th when the Dundas Real McCoys come to town.

Jr. B Av’s captain remembered By Jim Windle ANCASTER – A budding hockey star and respected gentleman off the ice, Luke Zupan died in his sleep late in September. Zupan had a very good chance of making impact at higher levels of the game, but will not have a chance to show just how good he could have been. “It is with an incredibly heavy heart and with deep sadness that the GOJHL and the Ancaster Jr Avalanche announce the passing last week of their team Captain Luke Zupan,” says a media release from the GOJHL. “Zup” demonstrated all the skills on and off the ice to proudly represent the Av’s organization. He was their team leader encouraging all players to do their best, work hard and have fun. He participated in every charity event the club partici-

tragedy,” says Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvair GM Brian Rizzetto. “I don’t know the details but I hope this tragedy will bring the Avalanche team together. When something like this happens, it can either divide a team or bring
it together and I know they have a tight organization there to support the family and Luke’s teammates.” The Corvairs lost a member of their own team staff last season when Noah Thomas died in a car crash. The Corvairs also honoured a former player, Tyler Norrie who died after a workout at the gym back in 2014. Even though he had already graduated from the team, the loss impacted the entire organization and the players who played with him. Hockey or any other team sports produces life long friendships and deal personal relationships especially when they go through the trenches together during the season. According to the league media release, Luke and what he brought to his team will be sadly missed.

Hamilton joins Allan Cup Hockey By TRT Staff HAMILTON – Hamilton today is “Back in Black… and Gold” with the official announcement today by Allan Cup Hockey Commissioner Brent Ladds that the city of Hamilton is returning to Senior hockey for the first time since 1954 with the addition of the Hamilton Steelhawks to the ACH for the 2015-16 Senior AAA hockey season. From 1932 until 1954, Hamilton was the home to the Senior A Hamilton Tigers. A team that featured such stars as Toe Blake, Herbie Cain, Art Child, Carl Liscombe, Paul (Polly) Miocinovich, Dennis Riggin and Montreal football star Ralph Toohey. “On behalf of the ACH Board of Governors, we are pleased to welcome the new Hamilton Steelhawks hockey club, and look forward to a long term relationship with the hockey fans of Hamilton. Mountain Arena has such an iconic hockey presence in the City of Hamilton, that it is a privilege to be able to call it home,” said Commissioner Ladds. “We know Jason Daleo and the group of volunteers that will gravitate to assist the
Steelhawks, will ice a team that will make the community proud, and re-energize Senior hockey interests in the City of Hamilton.” As of today, Allan Cup Hockey, which is the business name for the Ontario Hockey Association Senior AAA Hockey League has seven competing teams in Dundas, Whitby, Norwood, Stoney Creek, Brantford, Thorold and now the “Ambitious City.” The OHA has a tradition in Senior hockey dating back to 1890. The new entry is owned and operated by Jason Daleo and George Roque. Daleo worked as an executive with the Hamilton Bulldogs for seven seasons including the role of Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, and several National Hockey League teams in a sales and marketing capacity. Daleo’s goal is to use his marketing skills to promote this Hometown Hamilton team and draw minor-pro style hockey to fans to the Dave Andreychuck Arena. “It’s a privilege and honour to be involved as an owner and executive in Allan Cup Hockey,” said President and General Manager, Jason Daleo. “It is special to
be part of this organization playing out of the Dave Andreychuck Arena, where I cheered on such iconic Hamilton franchises as the Mountain As, Kilty Bs and of course, the Hamilton Steelhawks when I was growing up.” “I look forward to building a competitive team with my Director of Hockey Operations, Brent Pope and Head Coach Jason Soules. Brent has a wealth of hockey knowledge and player development skills gained through playing hockey in the Ontario Hockey League, and professionally. Pope has also been a highly qualified coach at various levels of competitive hockey and brings instant credibility to our organization by being able to attract quality players in a supporting role to our head coach. While we look forward to competing with all the teams, I believe we will have an instant rivalry with Dundas, Brantford and Stoney Creek based on our proximity to each of them. It’s an exciting time to be involved in the ACH,” Daleo added. Roque has owned and operated an industrial flat roofing company in Hamilton throughout his profes-
sional career, establishing GRRC Roofing as a leader in the roofing industry throughout Southern Ontario. Roque is a life-long hockey fan, and supports all Hamilton teams as a season ticket holder or corporate sponsor. “I think Hamilton will be a great addition to our League, with the Bulldogs exit as an American Hockey League club, the Real McCoys and Hamilton will fill the void for that brand of hockey. Hamilton Mountain is its own kind of Community with tremendous pride, so there should be wonderful support, and they will come to detest the Real McCoys in no time at all,” said Don Robertson, President and General Manager of the Dundas Real McCoys. During today’s event, Daleo introduced the team’s new head coach Jason Soules, who was an original member of the Hamilton Steelhawks, and was drafted 15th overall by the NHL Edmonton Oilers. In addition, the club’s first player commitment was announced, former first-round NHL draft pick, American Hockey League Most Valuable Player, former captain of the Hamilton Bulldogs,
former NHL veteran and Allan Cup Trophy winner: Jason Ward. The new Hamilton Steelhawks are bringing back a popular name, that of the former Ontario Hockey League team to its former home, the Dave Andreychuck Mountain Arena, and links to Keith Primeau, Jamie Leach, Keith Gretzky, Shayne Corson, and local hockey hero Ron Bernacci. Hamilton has nation-wide recognition associated with the co-
lours Black and Gold, and Daleo and Roque wanted to maintain that recognition with the theme of Hamilton Steelhawks “Back in Black… and Gold!” The Steelhawks will play 24 games plus the playoffs, and will compete for the OHA’s John Ross Robertson Cup. The winner of the Robertson Cup will then compete for the National championship, and Canada’s oldest hockey trophy the Allan Cup Trophy.
Solar panels from page 5 Six Nations and the County of Brant, and far beyond that,” he said. “Both Six Nations and the County of Brant have received provincial recognition towards building sustainable communities, within the next five years it is likely that both communities will be exporting renewable energy, isn’t that terrific when you think about it?” Said Eddy. MPP Dave Levac offered words to encourage the type of determination that went into completing the project, which began in May. “This is a perfect example of something that I believe we’ve all learned in kindergarten. We all learned how to play in the sand box together,” said Levac with a smile. “Share, play together and make sure that no one gets left behind and this is a perfect example of those adults in the room that came together and said ‘it’s time for us to use a different tactic, because the stuff we were doing before wasn’t working,’” he said. “This is going to go beyond the economy, this is going to go beyond the environment; this is groundbreaking and this has turned a negative into a positive.”

Six Nations host National Land Claims Workshop By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – Six Nations hosted a two-day workshop on land claims at Six Nations Polytechnic on Tuesday and Wednesday, which brought together about 100 researchers, lawyers, Chiefs, and negotiators from across Canada to share information from their experiences in dealing with the federal government over outstanding land claims. Also present on day one was a group of Aboriginal Law students from the University of Waterloo. Several important issues common to all First Nations dealing with land claims were explained and discussed as those present took copious notes to take back to their own communities from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. They also left Six Nations lands researchers with information and
strategies on court proceedings and negotiations they have experienced. Among those presenters were Luke Hunter, lands researcher for the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation, from the Thunder Bay region; Manitoba acting Director of the Treaty and Aboriginal Rights Research Centre, Patricia Myran; Jamie Tromp from the Treaty Aboriginal Rights Program which operates under the auspices of the Lesser Slave Lake Indian Regional Council and many others. Also on hand was Tonio Sadik who gave an update on the AFN’s Committee on Claims. Some of the topics covered included the value of oral history in the courts, setting up a trust to handle settlements, addition to reserve protocols, access to documents and information, annuities, and may other issues facing First

PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE Nations as they attempt to move land claims along. Lonny Bomberry and Phil Monture spoke on consultation and accommodation and Six Nations part-
nerships with renewable energy corporations. The event was arranged and organized by Lisa Davis of Six Nations who was a little run off her
feet but very happy with the large turnout representing so many First Nations as well as the quality of information being shared. Six Nations lawyer Paul Williams spoke of a case he is currently working on where he is trying to have a land claims negotiation overseen by the court, since Canada has proven itself untrustworthy and not negotiating in good faith. “In this particular case we resolved that the amount of land involved would be dealt with at the negotiation table,” Williams explained. “We dealt with the director of specific claims and he retired. The federal negotiator said, whatever he told you does not bind us.” What was to be a negotiation for 104 square miles , was arbitrarily declared by government negotiators that they only want to talk about 55 square miles.”
Williams attributed this arbitrary attitude of the government negotiator as the primary cause of the collapse of the negotiations. To prevent what Williams called a “nasty racist backlash” similar to what happened with a settlement 20 km down the road, Williams wanted the mayor of the closest town to be a part of the negotiations. “The federal negotiator said, not acceptable,’” he said. To counter that position Williams team threatened to make the mayor a part of their negotiation team, to which the government said they would walk from negotiations if they did. This is the kind of treatment First Nations across Canada have been facing at the negotiation table under the Harper government and Liberals before them.
Riverbend Estates Housing Development Opportunity Six Nations Elected Council is pleased to announce the community engagement process to discuss and share information about the Riverbend Estates Development Opportunity. The project lands are located on Tutela Heights Road, Brant County. Riverbend Estates is the first potential project resulting from the partnership between Six Nations and the Walton Group. The Walton Group is a North American focused real estate investment and land development company. In Ontario, Walton’s locally-based Ontario team manages nearly 14,000 acres of land, including over 4,500 acres in the County of Brant. The Riverbend Estates residential development will consist of between 500 and 600 residential lots to be developed in four phases, subject to municipal approval. Six Nations will have an equity interest in all four phases. The entire land holding is approximately 263 acres for this project. Phase 1 development consists of approximately 200 residential units. Six Nations Monitors have overseen all archaeological work. To date, no longhouses have been found and no ceremonial or burial sites have been identified. Six Nations Council holds strong in its dedication to hear the voices from the community. The Riverbend Estates engagement process is designed to share information with the Six Nations Community about the financial and economic benefits of the project and the feedback will help to guide the Six Nations Elected Council. The community information sessions are as follows: Light refreshments will be provided.

Women on the Wall exhibit features a wall for visitors to write messages of love and support for missing and murdered Indigenous women and their families.
Walking Together and The Women on The Wall exhibits shed light on indigenous matters at Nuit Blanche By Lindsay Monture
TORONTO – The streets of downtown Toronto were bustling Saturday night in celebration of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2015, a contemporary arts festival lasting one night from dusk ‘til dawn. The festival’s 10th edition drew massive crowds ready to embrace the night while exploring over 110 arts projects set up across the city. Two works in particular focused on Indigenous matters, bringing awareness to missing and murdered Indigenous women, and the legacy left behind for survivors of the Mohawk Institute residen-
Dimaline and Giles Benaway, and co-produced by Diaspora Dialogues and members of Toronto’s Indigenous community, The Women on the Wall begins with visitors walking through a threshold of white walls projecting a growing list of the names of lost sisters on one side, and a video of Indigenous voices speaking out on the national epidemic on the other side. A basket of markers are left out for visitors wishing to contribute their own words of love and support on the walls before being guided into the church where a tree stands. The tree is adorned with red ribbons tied onto

Hidden behind the chaos of Yonge and Dundas Square, projections of mixed media works created by students from Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School looped in the windows of the Mackenzie House on Bond Street.

But I think it makes a huge impact on the students, to actually be standing in the room where the survivors are telling their stories from just makes it so real,” says Porter. “The students get a bigger connection during that process than anything that could be taught in a classroom and to witness
this and see the amount of respect and care each student has with the survivors is why we do this project.” Although the process wasn’t easy to go through, the results of the students’ efforts displayed a positive outcome for both the youth and the elders. “The amount of emotion and pride that came from each student while taking photos and the art making process after was such a fascinating devel-
opment to witness,” Porter shares. “Not only did it show me they were listening to what I had to share when teaching them different photography skills but it demonstrated their true compassion towards each other and toward the Elders.” Nuit Blanche has come and gone, but the Mackenzie House will continue to host the Walking Together exhibit until November 15th.

The timeless Cec Sault still popular after over 40 years TRT Staff
MISSISSAUGAS OF THE NEW CREDIT — Cecil Sault grew up with music as a part of the Sault Brothers family gospel bluegrass act with his musical brothers, the late Earl (Bun), Phil, and Ken. He still sings with the Sault Brothers whenever he can, but over the years he has also become one of the busiest wedding party dance bands in the Six Nations/New Credit of the Mississaugas territories.
ferent members (including Juno Award winner Murray Porter) moving in and out of the group. It was during that time Cecil fine-tuned his stage presence and connection with his audience. Even after the band broke up, Sault kept singing doing Karaoke gigs, house parties and MCing weddings and community events. But he preferred the feel and camaraderie of a full band behind him and switched over to singing
from the stage and maybe cut back to doing a few Karaoke dates, but has since reconsidered that position. “I thought about retiring,” says Sault, “but the people wouldn’t let me. I kept getting more dates and requests coming in and so I figured, as long as they still want me, I might as well keep going.” One of the highlights of his career so far was when he and Old Chicago opened for the legendary
Councillor for several years, but has decided to step aside and let a new generation of younger leaders take the reins, declaring that he will not be seeking re-election when
his present term of office expires. During that time he also opened a paralegal service, which he retired from recently to devote more time to his music.
Old Chicago with Cec Sault remains as busy as they want to be with something happening nearly every weekend, and a very busy October schedule coming up.

Mississaugas of the New Credit's Cec Sault has been entertaining since the late 1970s and is more popular than ever with his latest band "Old Chicago", which opened for the legendary Buffy St. Marie earlier this year. PHOTO BY WARD LAFORME “There is music on both my mother and my father’s side,” said Sault just before taking the stage at the Delhi Fall Fair. “But even at that I didn’t start singing out of the church ‘till I was about 18 years-of-age.” That was with his first group, “Midnight Fire” a band started by Allan Miller. Sault was singing, playing guitar and fronting the band. This stage of his musical journey was with guitarist Bobby Sault. Midnight Fire evolved into a popular country music band of the 1980s “Chippewa Creek”. The band stayed together in various forms for several years with dif-
the blues, forming “Old Chicago” with various area musicians coming in and out of the mix. The current lineup consists of sax player Paul Augustine from Hamilton, guitarist Larry Fuedo from Stoney Creek, drummer Jim Van Sickle from Brantford and bassist Jim Windle, also from Brantford. But on any given night, you could also see keyboardist Jim Miller or with a guest sitting in. Fellow New Credit performer Mark LaForme, and old friend who played together with Sault in their early careers, has also sat in from time to time. Not that long ago, Sault considered retiring
Buffy St. Marie in Toronto during the Pan-Am Games this past summer. Sault has earned a very large and broad audience over the years and is still Six Nations’ and New Credit’s first call when it comes to parties and dances, but he also gets calls from several other reserves throughout Ontario and upstate New York. Sault keeps himself fit by playing pick-up hockey and softball, and hides his 68 years very well indeed. But that’s not all Cecil Sault is; he has served his community of the Mississaugas of the New Credit reserve as a District
