Bonnie Whitlow, Vanessa Oliver and Kari Brozowski presented their hopes for an art program dubbed the Alapinta Project, which will bring young artists together to create two cultural murals.

Highlighting Cultural Pride With Art

BY Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – Three women presented an intriguing art program dubbed the Alapinta Project to councillors within the Elected Council Building at Tuesday night's general meeting.

Aboriginal Student Support Coordinator at Wilfrid Laurier University Bonnie Whitlow, alongside Vanessa Oliver and Kari Brozowski, presented the idea to Elected Council members with the main idea of “cultural pride.”

“Because Bonnie was inspired by the Alapinta mural artists, the idea was to have a cultural exchange with indige-

nous people as well as non-indigenous people,” said Oliver, who is also an Assistant Professor in Youth and Childrens Studies at Wilfred Laurier University.

“The Alapinta are from Chile and they mostly speak Spanish,” continued Oliver. “They go around the world and create these huge, wonderful murals and they've become quite famous for doing it. So, they're going to come and work with the youth in how to envision traditional teachings in their work,” she said, explaining that the Alapinta artists will arrive in September of this year.

As well, just this

passed week within the Six Nations Community, the Group of Six - a talented group of six young artists - showcased their artwork within the “Everything Cornhusk” gallery, but this project in particular is aiming at producing two murals that will last through time.

“This work has to go onto a large space, so it's really up to the community to decide which wall,” said Whitlow, as she motioned to an image depicting the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, the Six Nations Tourism Building, and Gaylord Powless Arena and the soon-to-be Youth and Elders Centre.

The project wants to bring together 40-50 young artists to several workshops, whereby at the end, they will paint the two cultural murals with one located in Brantford, and the other within Six Nations.

“We are hoping that the Youth and Elders Centre will be open by September,” she said.

“If it works out, and I'm hoping it will, we would like to put [the mural] on the wall of the Youth and Elders Centre,” she said.

But, as of right now, the project has brought together three youth for a Youth Advisory Council, which will be working towards promoting the project until it's be-

ginning by hosting information booths at youth focused events. With success, this project hopes to host the workshops from September 16-19 of this year, with several functions thereafter; including a Community Celebration for October 1, with A Tribe CARPET

Called Red tenatively scheduled to deejay.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Youth Advisory Council (there are three spots remaining), or would like to be an artist participant; simply contact Bonnie Whitlow at: bwhitlow@wlu.ca.

Mobile Screening Unit saves lives

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – A mobile cancer screening detection unit is here in Ohsweken as part of this year's Community Awareness Week.

One of the most important safety precautions someone can do in regards to cancer is finding out early on what your risks may be, getting screened early and identifying any concerns that arise. The ScreenFor-Life Coach offers three different types of screenings — breast cancer, cervical cancer and colon cancer.

“These three screenings find problems early, before you feel them and before you notice symptoms,” said Alyssa Higginson, the cancer screening co-ordinator for the regional cancer program. “If you wait until you notice symptoms then chances are that the problem is a little more advanced. With screening, in some respects, we’re able to prevent cancer altogether.”

The coach is a 45-foot-

Community members, staff and volunteers of the mobile screening unit were participating in screenings last Friday, May 20. From left to right: Darlene LaForme, Deborah Martin, Tammy Hill, Lacey VanEvery (RN), Carrie Claxton (MRTM, CBI) and Alyssa Higginson. PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN

long bus which has a state-of-the-art digital mammography suite, two change rooms, a waiting room and an exam room.

It is also wheelchair accessible.

“It’s wheelchair acces-

sible, but those in wheelchairs or those that can’t walk may need some extra help manoeuvring around the bus,” said Higginson. “We can definitely make it work for everybody.”

Higginson said the program increases access to cancer screening for anyone who has barriers.

“We want to make sure everyone has equal access to early screening,” she said. “So we bring the coach here to community awareness week to ensure that everyone at the event is able to access breast, cervical and colorectal screening.

“If you get a pap smear done and we find abnormal cells, we can get rid of them before they even turn into cancer,” she said. “Same thing with colon screening – if you go for a colonoscopy or complete a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) we can find irregularities and take care of them before anything goes wrong.”

A Fecal Occult Blood Test is simple, takes minutes, and can be done in

the privacy of your own home. Testing kits can be picked up at Gane: Yohs and once complete dropped off at the laboratory. Results will be mailed to you in a confidential manner and any positive results forwarded to your family doctor.

“With an FOBT you put a little sample of your stool on the provided card a few times a week and then drop it off,” said Higginson. “It gets tested and you’ll be notified if something was found and you need further testing.

Its all about being preventative and finding things early — even colon cancer is 90 per cent treatable when found early.”

The coach offers a full mammogram machine and it provides the same quality of service that you would receive anywhere else. Higgingson

said that although some level of discomfort is expected, it all depends on the individual and that the staff on the coach does their best to make it as comfortable as possible.

“It can be pretty scary for some women if they are stressed or if they think it’s going to hurt,” she said. “The staff on board do their best to make it as painless as possible and guide you through the process.”

Darlene LaForme, a community member, was screened for breast cancer. Following the tour LaForme told us about her experience.

“This was my second time getting screened on the coach,” she said.

“It definitely is a good squeeze, but you just have to breathe through it. It’s a really quick test.

When it comes to your health it’s good to know for sure where you stand.

“I come get it done because it’s important to be proactive about cancer,” said LaForme. “I have breast cancer in my family and I just want to make sure I’m doing the best thing for myself and family.”

The coach will be in the community until next week. This Thursday and Friday it will be at the Gane: Yohs Community Health Centre and Monday May 30 it will be at Ganohkwasra Family Assault Support Services.

All screenings are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“All you need to do a test is a valid heath card and fit the eligibility requirements,” said Higgingson. “The coach will be back in the community in November.”

Free BBQ on 6

By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – The Jukasa Media Group, Jukasa Radio, and Jukasa Studios linked arms with the Two Row Times for a parking lot barbeque, live music and some pretty spectac-

ular cars on display for hundreds of visitors for Community Awareness, Friday afternoon.

An emergency run for more burgers kept the fires burning while local music artists performed including Lacey Hill, Lo-

gan Staats and more.

Dreamcatcher prizes were won by Toni Bomberry ($500 ILA Gift Certificate), Brad Froman (Bubble Pool), and Claudia VanEvery (Pro Basketball Net and pole).

Foodbank thanks community for donations

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – Six Nations Community Food Bank wants to thank Jukasa Radio and the community for the donations given at last week’s community barbecue.

Community members were asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the barbecue to pay for their food and be given a chance to win a doorprize at the event. All donations went to the food

bank.

“I want to thank the community for their continued support and thank Jukasa for having us at their community awareness week event," said Ellen-Rose Jamieson, “We got a lot of donations.”

Jamieson is the community food bank’s new co-ordinator, having replaced Charley Hill at the end of April.

Jamieson would like to give the community a friendly reminder that the

“We can’t accept them,” she said “If people could check the dates before donating them that would be great.”

Despite the construction on Fourth Line, the food bank will still be open throughout the week accepting donations and food services are also still taking place on Thursdays 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We got yo' back Haudenosaunee leadership meet with United Nations Editorial by Jonathan Garlow

The outstanding turnout this week proves that Six Nations families are super enthusiastic about Victoria’s Bread and Cheese. Were you aware that not everyone loves Bread and Cheese? At the Two Row Times we do our best to appreciate and understand both sides of any conflict.

Pro-Cheesers fall in to a number of different categories. Some of the different arguments are: a) Bread and Cheese is a community event to catch up with friends and family or b) It recognizes and celebrates our historical relationship with the British Crown somehow affirming and solidifing our historical political position or c) any combination of both.

Anti-Cheesers can also have varied positions on their reasons for being vocal against Bread and Cheese. Some of their arguments are: a) Our relationship with the Crown is nothing to be proud of because the Six Nations were betrayed or abandoned by England, or b) They think that Bread and Cheese is for voters because it is an Elected Council initiative, or c) They are angry that Elected Council has to pay for the party out of our own monies instead of the Queen picking up the bill.

Of course there is a whole spectrum of beliefs and we all have our own way of balancing our views. Whether or not you are Longhouse, Christian, Elected Council, Confederacy or Mohawk Worker – the people of Six Nations are all cut from the same cloth and are all recovering from cultural genocide and the oppression of colonialism (that still exists today).

An elder from Oneida once told me that he remembers his elders treating everyone with honour. He came from a strong longhouse family and he always wondered why his Clan Family helped out at community events run by the Elected Council, or why they helped at Christian funerals.

When he finally asked why they helped the Band Council even though it was imposed by Canada the answer he got was concise and to the point. He was told “We aren’t against people, we are against that system.”

These wise elders were referring to the Indian Act which has systematically ravaged indigenous family structures, destroyed culture, removed language and our inherent authority as land title holders. The dual pronged assault of the Indian Act and Christianity imposed upon our people was meant to destroy our identity forever.

They had no right to even try that.

But here we are 129 years later trying to survive as a nation, sometimes arguing over the best way to survive.

We may have different approaches to survival but we should respect each other even when we disagree.

That is why we at the Two Row Times try to follow the lead of the Oneida Elders who supported their people but at the same time spoke out against the system. It’s been a difficult road, and sometimes we are misunderstood.

We may be accused of being biased media but one thing is for certain — no matter what you believe, if you have been violated by the Indian Act we got your back.

Leaders from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy had a private meeting with Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The following is a letter presented during the meeting telling the issues of concern that lay at the heart of the Haudenosaunee people.

The Right Honorable Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy would like to thank you for your work and support of Indigenous Peoples during your time as the Secretary-General. We look forward to your continuing support of Indigenous Peoples and for taking into account our perspectives towards climate change. We are desirous to have a good transition to the next Secretary-General and your support in that direction would be very helpful regarding the issues of Indigenous Peoples and what we perceive is the most important discussion today, global warming.

The Onondaga Nation is the seat of the Haudenosaunee, the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy- our union, based upon peace, equity and the power of union, is

over a thousand years old. The confederacy is the basis of the fundamental principles of European colonists developing into the United States. We are just one of many Indigenous Nations around the world and we have all sacrificed to bring us to where we are today. The Haudenosaunee have been a catalyst in this direction following the spirit and will of Indigenous Peoples of the world.

The greatest lesson this United Nations has yet to learn is that we, the human species, are the environment. The sustainable principles of nature remain the guide for survival of the human species.

In the dire situation of human survival, the United Nations has a responsibility to drop the issues of politics and rise to the principles of survival for all life on Earth.

The voice of Indigenous Peoples must have a place. We continue to be silenced.

We have struggled against the directions and policies of member-states to silence the voices of Indigenous Peoples, including a continued strategy of modifying the principles of discourse and removing mention of Indigenous Peoples from the text of key decisions. For example, Indigenous Peoples were annexed from the

final text of the Paris Agreement adopted by the 21st Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change less than six months ago. Safeguarding the rights of Indigenous Peoples is key to the efforts to address climate change.

Indigenous Peoples have always been caretakers of Mother Earth and world leaders continue to have much to learn from us.

When will we listen to the voice of reason that will lead us to the path of survival?

In spite of all of this, we will continue to work with world leaders towards policies that support the regeneration of nature. It is our perspective that member-states’ policies towards nature must fundamentally change in order to ensure the survival of the human species. We remain adamant in the defense of the future and the welfare of the Seven Generations yet to come. We thank you for your past support and we continue to seek your support in defense of Indigenous Peoples.

While we deliberate, the ice is melting.

Danetoh, Tadodaho Sidney Hill

The Haudenosaunee are taking their fight to restore Onondaga Lake to the United Nations, calling on the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to raise their voices in support of restoring Mother Earth. The seven-member Haudenosaunee delegation, led by Tadodaho (Chief) Sidney Hill of the Onondaga Nation, presented the Secretary General with an engraved plaque featuring the Tree of Peace and the flag of the Confederacy, which is comprised of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora Nations.

Artist inspired by indigenous issues, presents gift to community

By Nahnda Garlow

SIX NATIONS – An Ontario artist presented three works of art to the community of Six Nations this week as an emblem of support and awareness to the traumas of residential schools and the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada.

Cheryl Gardiner is an artist who paints barn quilts. She said when she started hearing stories in the news about the atrocities experienced by both children in residential schools and women in Canada she felt urged to do something.

“With all the awareness since the national inquiry — I didn’t know anything about this,” said Gardiner. “I was so disgusted after I learned about the children and what happened at residential schools.”

Gardiner said that was when she pressed in to learn more about the is-

sues facing indigenous people in Canada and took an online course through Cape Breton University.

“The horror stories of people living with the memories from those schools — I’m horrified,” said Gardiner.

The artist then took her learning another step further by creating three pieces of art in honour of Six Nations survivors of the 60s scoop and the women and families of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

Three painted barn quilts were presented to Six Nations Elected Council Chief Ava Hill and Six Nations Tourism Manager Connie Jamieson.

Gardiner said although the issues at hand seem insurmountable, making the art and gifting it to Six Nations was something of substance she felt she could do to help.

“It’s my way of starting to make it right. I’m aware

of all of this and now I'm constantly aware of it. I think we should be teaching it in schools, all the history of what happened to indigenous people in Canada.”

Elected Chief Ava Hill said she felt reassured that the work being done to raise awareness to these issues is making an impact. “It’s really refreshing for us to know that with all the work being done that the message is getting out there,” said Hill.

Six Nations Tourism Manager Connie Jamieson thanked Gardiner for learning more about the issues of residential schools and missing and murdered indigenous women. Jamieson said, “This is what we want.

We want people to take the initiative and get educated themselves.”

The art will be on display at the Woodland Cultural Centre’s First Nations Art 2016 opening this Friday.

McClung deal could set bad precedent

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – A former employee of Six Nations Lands and Resources has brought to light some of his concerns regarding the deal signed between the Six Nations Elected Council and the McClung Road development, known now as Avalon Homes in advance of this Thursday night’s third and final community information meeting at the Six Nations Community Hall to explain the McClung, Avalon development project, in Caledonia.

Doug Whitlow, who graduated UBC with a B.A. in First Nations Studies in 1995, upon returning to his home community in 1996, took a job with Six Nations Lands and Resources as Assistant Wildlife Officer under Paul General.

Until he retired at the end of 2015 after nine years in that capacity, part of Whitlow’s job was to sift through the notices sent to them through the Grand River Notification Agreement. This agree-

ment made it mandatory for any community within the Haldimand Tract to notify Six Nations of any building or modifications that could impact Six Nations land covered under the Haldimand Deed.

“I was privy to a lot of information and knowledge of how things are done here at the Big 6,” said Whitlow. “Especially in Lands and Resources, so I’ve been aware of the project ever since it started. As Assistant Wildlife Officer, one of my jobs was to enter the mail into a database on the computer. From there I’d take the hard copy and send that over to Lands and Resources. The people there would enter the data into their data base. So I knew everything that was going on.”

In the fall of 2014, he says he began to receive notices about the McClung Development project, about which he says, “Everybody that I am aware of in Lands and Resources didn’t want it to happen.

They were totally opposed

to it because it was a big project, they were going to use our water, and use land within the Haldimand Tract in Caledonia once again even with DCE (Caledonia) still on everybody’s mind.”

Elected Council lawyer and member of the Consultation and Accommodation Team (CAT), Lonny Bomberry disagrees with Whitlow’s evaluation, and explained the situation from his vantage point.

“The struggle we had was getting a meeting with Avalon,” said Bomberry. “We got that meeting last May.” He went on to explain that there was a conflict over a poorly done archaeological assessment. After involving the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sports, a new survey was ordered and is presently being dome by Archaeological Services Inc. When 200 acres of land was added to the agreement, in what many say was a take-it-or-leave-it final offer by Avalon, Elect-

Gathering of The Nations

ed Council took the offer rather than risking getting nothing out of the deal.

Although retired, Whitlow remains vigilant to this and other projects he had become aware of. Now as a concerned private member of Six Nations he feels a need to tell the community what concerns he has as a former Elected Council employee.

“About a month ago, there was a notice in the papers about a meeting regarding McClung and so I attended the first one,” said Whitlow. “I wanted to know about this project the Consultation and Accommodation Team had agreed to. When I retired, I figured it was a dead issue and they were not going to go ahead with it.”

Whitlow said that at the first meeting at the Community Hall, there were four community members.

“The whole CAT team was there, Joanne Thomas, who heads up the team, Lonny Bomberry, Karen Smith, Phil Monture, and Paul General,” said Whit-

low. “There were three from ASI archeological surveyors, but no Avalon developers. They said they were supposed to be there but they must have gotten lost.”

There were easels set up but no one gave a presentation, which is what Whitlow would have expected.

“We made small talk, the four of us, but there was no presentation and I went home at around 6 p.m., learning absolutely nothing about the project,” Whitlow recalled.

“Last Thursday, I went again to the second meeting and once again it was just four of us there and it was a duplicate of the first meeting. Avalon, (McClung Developers) was not there, only the CAT team.

This time he asked some questions.

“I said, ‘you have never brought this before the community before you signed on,’” Whitlow recalls.

After being told there was, he challenged that statement.

“I told Joanne that I don’t remember that meeting for this project, and she said, ‘oh, it did,’” said Whitlow.

He said he was later told that the meeting Joanne Green was referring to happened two years ago when the McKenzie Meadows project was up for development in Southern Caledonia. She also confirmed that that was the meeting they are using for this McClung project and not any meetings specific to McClung.

Whitlow believes that decision sets a very dangerous precedent, in that now, all future projects could be rubber stamped if the return of some portion of land to be transferred to Six Nations was part of the plan, without specific community meetings being necessary regarding future projects.

“You can’t do that,” said Whitlow. “Out of that whole McClung project, Six Nations is going to get 200 acres back? How can we CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Help Elected Council choose splash pad

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – After months of decision making and waiting for approval from different organizations, the community is soon going to get it’s new splash pad.

Six Nations Parks and Recreation has received funding from the Community Trust to build the new splash pad beside the

Community Hall. Six Nations Elected Council has received 3D renderings of two different possible splash pads and is asking the community “Which one do you like better?”

One boasts giant water-squirting flowers and in-ground geysers, while the other showcases swirling showers and an open water-blasting tunnel. Both options are sure

to keep children (and maybe some adults) cool during the hot summers while having fun at the same time.

To make your voice heard and to cast your vote, go to the Six Nations Elected Council’s Facebook page and “like” which one of the two options you prefer by this Friday, May 27.

Six Nations’ Karl Hess still undefeated

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Six Nations boxer Karl Hess, left no doubt in his unanimous decision win over Mohamed Alareebi of Toronto’s famous Cabbagetown Boxing Club, Saturday evening at the Brantford Curling Club.

Hess and Alareebi were the main event in an eight-bout boxing card hosted by Brantford’s Black Eye Boxing Club.

Alareebi looked fit, strong and ready and gave Hess a lot to early trouble, but by the end of the round, Hess had established himself as the more powerful puncher in the ring, landing a few shots that backed Alareebi off.

In the second round Hess seemed to take charge, but he had to watch for Alareebi’s counters.

By the halfway point in the third and final round, Alareebi could find no clear shots while Hess was unloading more and more power with every punch as his confidence grew.

“I have to admit I was a little scared at first,” said Hess following the fight. “I thought he was super-strong because he is a lot bigger than me. I found he wasn’t all that strong. I started giving him some body shots to wear him down then I just kept going.”

Once Hess knew he could hurt Alareebi, his confidence began to soar

and his punches became cleaner and stronger as the fight progressed.

The impressive win over Alareebi puts the 23-year-old Hess at 6-0, as he focuses on turning pro somewhere down the road. But at 23, he is a late bloomer and will have to make that happen more sooner than later.

Hess’ Black Eye Boxing Club coach, Jackie Ar-

mour, and promoter of the event, was pleased with all four of his fighters on the card. Along with the logistics of running a boxing event, he was in the corner of all four of his own fighters as well as working the corner of an out of town fighter.

“Karl was amazing, when he came out with that power, working the uppercuts, Armour says

of his 68 kilogram fighter.

“I think Karl could have taken him out at a couple of points there.”

“Tonight was just fantastic,” beamed Armour.

“Paul Hines had his first fight and did phenomenal.”

Hines, who didn’t start boxing until later in life, looks good, especially considering it was his first bout and he was ecstatic after knocking down Leo Roni out of the Toronto Stockyards Boxing Club with three previous bouts under his belt.

Once he shook off the nerves, he landed several power punches slowing the smaller Roni down and put him on the canvas with a perfectly timed right, which hit the button. Hines, born in 1975, had an impressive start to his amateur career.

In the 70 kilogram women’s division, Nikita Abbott, also of the Black Eye Club, looked very impressive in her win over Ida Jagaric. It was also her first bout and she had a lot of supporters at ringside to cheer her on in her unanimous decision over

Cabbagetown’s Jagaric.

Also on the card and winning for the Black Eye Club was 11-year-old Owen Paquette who easily out boxed Dinitri Moumos, also of the Cabbagetown Gym. “Paquette shows a tremendous amount of potential as such an early age,” says Armour.

Among the boxing celebrities on hand for the even were the fighting Summerhayes brothers, and the great Canadian heavyweight, Razor Ruddick. Another Black Eye Boxing Club boxing card is being arranged for some time in August.

2016 Arrows make impressive debut

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Arrows 2016 season is well under way but Six Nations fans have not seen the Arrows Express play at home since August 15th, 2015 when they paraded around the ILA with the Minto Cup hoisted high.

They have been playing on the road so far this new season, getting ready for their ILA debut with the annual Bread and Cheese Day (Victoria Day) game Monday afternoon.

The Arrows Express opened the season in Kitchener-Waterloo May 12th and defeated them 6-4. May 15th they were in Toronto and lost to the Beaches 10-9. Then, on Wednesday, May 18th, the Arrows lost 9-6 to the Burlington Chiefs.

The early season was a time of little pressure when the general manager and coaching staff got to try a number of prospects in a game setting, but after Monday, the season is officially on, as far as Arrows fans are concerned.

Monday afternoon they did not disappoint their fans, taking a well-deserved 14-4 win over the visiting Burlington

Chiefs.

Austin Staats scored on a textbook flier across the Burlington crease at 1:10, unassisted. A minute later, it was 2-0 with Travis Longboat using his lightning speed to split the Burlington defense to clear a direct lane for himself to the net.

Brayden Hill assisted.

Jake McNabb made it 3-0 on a Six Nations powerplay before Staats got his second of the period from Jamie Dilks at 10:21.

Burlington’s Nolan Apers scored with a minute to go to end the period with the Arrows ahead 4-1.

The Arrows kept the pressure on in the second period scoring the first four goals of the second period thanks to Longboat, Danton Miller, McNabb, and Austin Staats.

Apers scored his second of the afternoon for Burlington before Staats netted his fourth of the game on a powerplay to complete the second period with the Arrows Express still building up a head of steam.

Five more Arrows goals found their mark in the third period as McNabb, Cory Lucier, with two, Kessler Doolittle and Alex Henry putting up goals.

Staats scored four and added an assist as the Arrows won over the Burlington Chiefs, 14-4 . PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE Doolittle’s goal was of the highlight real variety as he broke in alone on Kyle Hebert in the Burlington net, about 15 feet out, he spun and fired a rocket from behind his neck into the top corner of the net for the Arrows 13th goal.

Doug Jamieson had a solid outing in the Arrows net as well turning away 45 of 49 shots.

Although a tad disappointed with the start of the season on the road, going one win and two losses, Arrows coach Patrick Merrel, a star with the Toronto Rock of the NLL, was happy with what he saw.

“The guys wanted a real good show for the home opener and they did well,” said Merrill.

The Arrows Express is now with two wins and two losses in the early going of the Jr. A schedule.

Merrill and the Arrows brass have made a conscious effort to bring a little more size to the table this season, and one of the steps in that direction is the addition of #40, Tesi Oakes to the lineup.

Oakes was brought in from the Akwesasne Jr. B Indians and was the biggest player on the floor and not afraid to use his size in front of the opponents net. Although he didn’t figure on the score sheet, he was effective in

keeping the Burlington Chiefs heads up all afternoon.

Before the game, members of last season’s Minto Cup Champion Arrows were brought to centre floor to watch the unveil-

ing of three new banners for the ILA. One for the 2015 Ontario Championship, one for the Eastern Canadian Championship and the third for last season’s Minto Cup Championship win.

The Arrows were in Peterborough Tuesday night in a game that missed our deadline, but will see action next at the ILA, Sunday, May 29th, at 7 p.m., when they meet the Whitby Warriors.

Warriors jump into first place

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – Sunday, the Jr. C Six Nations Warriors hosted Mimico at the soft floor of the ILA. The Gaylord Powless Area was setting up for Bread and Cheese Day and was unavailable.

It was an end-to-end shootout most of the game with 32 goals scored in total, 18 for the Warriors and 14 for the Mimico Jr. C Mountaineers.

Kahn General, Lay Nolan, and a pair by Wesley Whitlow gave the Warriors a 4-0 lead before Joel Escote broke the chain at 11:38 with his goal to put Mimico on the score card.

Whitlow scored this third of the period, at 15:16 while Escote got his second with less than a minute left in the first period to go the dressing rooms with the Six Nations Warriors leading 5-2.

It was 11-7 after two periods with an 18-14 final score advancing the Warriors to first place overall in the Western division and the entire 16 team loop.

A number of Warriors shared in the scoring lead by a nine-point game by Wesley Whitlow with four goals and five assists. Daniel Henhawk scored four times, assisting on one, while Khan

Wesley Whitlow leads the Six Nations Warriors and the entire Jr. C with 20 goals and 31 assists for an astounding 51 points in seven games, averaging more than seven points a game so far this season. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

General notched two and assisted on three.

Saturday afternoon, the Warriors landed a few punches of their own, but in the end they took it on the chin, 13-8, losing to the Fergus Thistles at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

Fergus took a 2-0 lead before the Warriors got on track with three in response scored by Kahn General, Sid Powless and Wesley Whitlow. Then the wind changed and Fergus rattled off three. Powless scored his second of the period at 18:57, but Ryan

Mueller closed the first 20 minutes of play with the Thistles leading 6-4.

The Thistles started to become a thorn under the saddle for the Rebels in the second as the temperature of the game turned up. Along the way, each team scored four more to end the period with Fergus still clinging to a two-goal lead at 10-8.

Sid Powless opened the period with three goals, interrupted by Fergus’ Ryan Baumi. Whitlow scored his second of the game as well.

son, Wayne Hill, and two goals by Tommy Montour, one of hem short-handed, accounted for the first period scoring.

Stu Hill added two more Six Nations goals in the second plus another by Wayne Hill. But the Titans were on the move as well with three goals of their own to end the second period with the Rivermen still leading 7-3. As it would turn out, every one of those goals would be needed.

Johnny Rae took a stretch pass from goalie Grant Crawley for a shorthanded marker at 6:15 of the third period.

Oakville’s Spencer Gourlay answered at 6:59.

Oakley Thomas scored

at 14:09 and it looked like the Rivermen would be able to coast to the win leading 9-4 with six minutes left. Thomas’ goal would be needed as Oakville pounded in four goals in under two minutes but could not get the tying goal past Crawley as the Rivermen hung on for the win.

The first place Rivermen will be on the road for their next three games in Walaceburg, Sat. May 28th, Sunday May 29th, in Oakville, and July Owen Sound, June 3rd.

Fans will welcome the Rivermen back to Six Nations June 4th when they host the Wallaceburg Thrashers at the GPA, for a 7 o’clock start.

Rivermen 5-0 to start extended road swing

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Sr. B Rivermen remain undefeated at 5-0 after hanging on just long enough for the 9-8 road win over the Oakville Titans at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre.

The game started with four straight Six Nations goals and ended with four straight Oakville goals and a see-saw game in between. Jordan John-

In the third, the pressure cooker completely blew off at the halfway mark of the period with Deryl Porter, Sid Powless, Jesse Longboat becoming involved in a battle with Kevin O’Neil and oth-

ers. If planned it would have been a great diversion tactic which worked perfectly well as Fergus accounted for the only three goals of the period to take the 13-8 win back home with them.

Thursday night, May 19th, Six Nations waxed Wilmot 17-11 using a strong third period to leave the Wild in the dust at the Wilmot Arena. It was 5-4 Six Nations after the first period, and 10-9, for the Warriors, entering the third.

In a very rough third period alone there were nine Unnecessary Roughness or Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties called to both sides along with a High Sticking major, a Checking from Behind double minor call plus the usual run of the mill penalties.

The Warriors responded with seven third period goals to win it, 17-11.

Leading the Six Nations fence was Sid Powless making good on six goals while adding a half-dozen assists for a 12-point game. Daniel Henhawk was next with three goals and three assists while Wesley Whitlow scored one and assisted of five.

Jesse Longboat contributed three goals as well.

Rebels ward off Thunderhawks, demote Generals

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – If lacrosse games only lasted two periods, the Six Nations Rebels would have been defeated by the visiting Niagara Thunderhawks, 4-2.

But in Jr. B lacrosse there are three periods and because of that, the Six Nations recorded their seventh win of the season thanks to a huge 5-0 third period show of power and speed by Rebels to win 7-4.

The importance of the game was underscored by the tight play of the first period.

Thunderhawks were on the doorstep of taking a firm grip on first place with a win Friday night. The checking was close going both ways and both Briley Miller and Thunderhawks’ goalie Tyson McCool kept the score to 1-1 after 20 minutes of play and both goals came

late in the period.

Conner Overstom scored first for Niagara at 15:59, but Josh Miller set things even again at 17:42.

Niagara looked confident heading into the first intermission after shutting down the Rebel’s explosive offense. The score remained tied 1-1 until a wobble began to show in the Niagara defence with WakeRiat BowHunter’s goal at 12:11 assisted by Garret Vyse-Squire.

Then the wheels completely fell off the Thunderhawk’s wagon when Travis Longboat, VyseSquire, Layne Smith and Josh Miller piled on a little more three minutes apart to end the second period with the Rebels suddenly ahead 6-1.

“We just started having fun and playing our way,” said Garret VyseSquire, who scored once and assisted on two more.

“We figured them out.

We started pressuring them and worked the ball.

That’s all we did. We finally woke up I guess.”

The Thunderhawks fought back in the third, but left themselves with too much distance between themselves and the first place Rebels. Josh Miller scored three times in the win.

There was some concern when young Jr. lacrosse prodigy Layne Smith pulled up lame after a Rebels rush and limped off the floor and directly into the dressing room. It is not known at this time how serious the injury is.

Sunday sent the Rebels to Welland to face the last place Generals and returning with two more points after outranking the Generals 11-7.

The game was pretty well decided after the first period. The Rebels stormed the Generals 7-2.

The Rebel’s speed was too

much for the Generals as Daylan Hill, Travis Longboat, Danton Miller, Josh Miller and Garret VyseHill swarmed Dylan Busby-Carver in the Welland net. Josh Miller and VyseHill scored twice in the opening period.

The Generals settled down in the second and regrouped for a much better effort, but the damage was already done. It was 9-4 after two periods with Chayton King and Danton Miller scoring in the second and Longboat, and Martin Burning-Bomberry adding third period markers.

Thursday, May 26th, the Rebels travel to Hamilton to face the Bengals before returning home to host the St. Catharines Spartans at the ILA Friday night at 8 p.m. Then, it’s back on the road to Welland, Sunday at 7 p.m., for another shot at the Generals.

Garret Vyse-Squire is having a great season so far with the Rebels. He scored one and assisted on two more Friday night adding two goals and two assists Sunday for an 11 game total of 14 goals and 15 assists for 29 points, fourth best for the team.PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Chiefs Opener vs. Cobourg

By TRT staff The five-time Mann Cup Champion Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs kicked off the 2016 season in a game that missed this week’s deadline.

The Chiefs officially posted, Sunday that they had settled on who would be backstopping the Six Nations against the Cobourg Kodiaks.

Dillon Ward and Warren Hill will work the pipes this season.

With an injury to Brandon Miller, the Chiefs will rely on Dillon Ward and Warren Hill to be its last line of defence.

Miller will miss the 2016 season and undergo surgery for a lower body injury in July.

"We will miss BMills and everything he brought to the table for our organization," Chiefs president Duane Jacobs said. "B is a great person, great leader and a big time goaltender. He was our anchor for two-consecutive Mann Cups and will go down as one of the greatest Chiefs goalies of all time.

"We hope B does not retire, but we know he and his family and job come first. We hope he has a speedy recovery and see him back in the NLL in 2017."

Hill is no stranger to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, having backstopped the Six Nations Arrows, and last year was part of the Presidents Cup winning Six Nations Sr. B Rivermen.

He is currently at Syracuse University.

"We expect Warren to come in and be the backup for Dillon Ward," Jacobs said. "We are very confident in our goaltending and had anticipated that Dillon and Warren would be our goaltending combination of the future."

Although not complete at this juncture, the Pro-Fit Chiefs have a very impressive list of possibilities including many of last year’s squad slated to return and a few new faces as well.

The Chiefs open its MSL season on May 31, at home at 8 p.m.

opment on disput- Homeless Indiged land A municipal bylaw, which enous actor, poet allows for the develop- and writer found ment of 400 homes between Oka Provincial dead on the streets Park and the town of Oka, has sparked concern from Kanesatake. According to Ellen Gabriel, activist and artist, the disputed land is Mohawk territory and in order to protect the land from further development, she is encouraging Canada to invoke the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the International Declaration that the country endorsed last week.

“We need time and we need the government to intervene and stop the craziness of the municipality of Oka, which is the same situation as that of land development and dispossession from 1990,” said Gabriel. The community doesn’t want another “Oka Crisis”, rather they would like to work together. “International laws apply to the municipality of Oka. I think people are fed up with the theft of the land.”

Grand Chief of Kanesatake Serge Simon said that people should not “jump the gun” about the municipal bylaw that was recently passed. “The mayor assured me that he has no plans of development in the near future,” he said. Oka mayor, Pascal Quevillon and Chief Simon has agreed to consult with each other on future land developments. “They just had to update their municipal regulations,” Simon continued.

Mayor Quevillon said that Ottawa can forbid Oka from developing the land, but would have to compensate the town for lost revenue. He said that Oka needs a bigger taxbase. New housing is needed for people who have nowhere to live.

Community members remain adamant that Oka needs to ask first before

Forty-two-year-old, Ramsey Whitefish is having his creative gifts celebrated and highlighted following his death.

Whitefish was found after midnight last Wednesday on Gloucester Street in Toronto, Ontario. Following his death, a YouTube video of Whitefish offering his interpretation of Hamlet’s soliloquy surfaced. The soliloquy was reinterpreted through Whitefish’s lens as an Indigenous homeless man in Toronto.

The “astonishing monologue” was captured through an outreach program by Sanctuary, a Christian organization that provides services for the city’s homeless.

In 2012, Sanctuary Art Director, Lyf Stolte was approached by Whitefish and his street brothers to ask about acting, referring to it as “to be or not to be.” Over six months, Lyf met with Whitefish and the video came out of that experience.

Twenty-four-year-old Trevor Severin is facing second degree murder charges for the death of Ramsey Whitefish.

“I remember the past, what my father used to do,” Katapatuk said. It is the reconnection with tradition that has made it possible for her great grandsons to also experience life at the camp. In Cree communities, everything closes down for a few weeks while families head out to their camps to hunt the returning geese.

After Mary was old enough, she married and had children of her own.

She continued to practise her traditional way of life. “We would haul our own stuff. I would pull the toboggan. We didn’t use any dogs. We would pull our toboggans from our bush camp to Waskaganish. We would do so leaving and returning to the community,” recalled Katapatuk.

This spring, Mary returned by helicopter to harvest geese with her children and great grandsons. “It was very special because that’s where I killed my first goose when I was six years old,” said Mary’s grandson, Norman Katapatuk. This year, two of her great grandson’s celebrated their first kill.

“It has always been the way to hunt geese, snow geese. It was always our way of life,” said Katapatuk.

change. This past week, Colonialism No More celebrated one month of solidarity. After calls for help weren’t being answered, the group decided to stay until these voices were heard. “We wanted the community to be heard. We wanted to be an amplifier for the communities,” said Robyn Pitwanakwat, who camps out every night with her three small children.

“I see Canada getting rich and being successful but right alongside them are all the people who originally lived here and we live in poverty, we’re sick, we’re dying, we’re committing suicide,” said Darren Maxie, one of the activists on site. INAC’s relationship with the group has evolved over the past few weeks after answering the activist’s demands, which included reopening the office so that it can serve the people and to continue dia-

logue.

Despite the co-operation from the INAC office in Regina, the systemic issues related to the ongoing crises in Indigenous communities continue to

rage on. Children are still living in third world living conditions, being subjected to living in homes with mould or with water that needs to be treated before drinking.

Upon questioning further, it was made clear that the CAT team was given a take-it-or-leave-it offer.

“It was that or nothing,” said Whitlow. “Take it or leave it, so they went ahead and took the deal and that is where we are at right now.”

Bomberry stands behind Elected Council’s decision.

“I don’t know if it’s improper (to use that previous data), but we did the best we can to be fair and ensure we got some land back which is what the people wanted," said Bomberry.

Even though the CAT team makes these agreements, Dale Bomberry, as SAO, has final say and has to agree on every project that is ever agreed on in this region.

The third and final community meeting regarding the already signed McClung, Avalon project deal is set for Thursday, evening, May 24th.

Youth art show opens for Community Awareness Week

By Lindsay Monture SIX NATIONS – Community Awareness Week included a special arts event this year celebrating the works of six aspiring young artists from Six Nations. Initiated by Elizabeth “Betts” Doxtator, the Group of Six Youth Art Show was held this past Sunday at the Iroquois Village Plaza.

The group started with Betts reaching out to the community for support to engage Six Nations youth in the arts.

“I approached Larry Longboat about supporting a grass roots-based youth art program. After negotiating with Six Nations Child & Family Services, they agreed to cover the costs including paint, canvas, and brushes,” said Betts, who volunteered her time and use of her shop at the plaza as a studio to work in on Wednesdays after school leading up to the show. “It was aimed to see if there was interest and if there was support, maybe to plant a seed. There are so many activities that young people can participate in, but sometimes they just might not be your particular interest. So this was a bit of an alternative.”

The artists — Frankie Warner, Imani Mitten, Kendall Jacobs, Evan Lickers, Kaya Hill and Chris General — remained anonymous up until the show.

“We just thought it would be fun to reveal them at the show. We haven’t even showed any of their art on Facebook,” said Betts, who had been thinking about the initiative for a year and faced some obstacles in facilitating the group. Finally at the end of February, Betts and the Group of Six were given the go ahead to make it all happen. From there on, they advertised the event through word of mouth and through their event page Group of Six Youth Art Show on Facebook.

a group, to speak clearly, to make a decision about what subject to paint, time management, even taking care of the painting supplies,” said Betts. “Their logo is six paintbrushes tied together to symbolize unity. They have worked together, provided support to each other, and encouraged each other. As a group they have demonstrated unity within this small group. It was amazing to watch!”

“It was an opportunity for these young people to show how dependable and hardworking they are,” said Betts. “Community Awareness is an opportunity for agencies to show the services available. This was an opportunity to showcase what the youth can do, let them be stars!”

Chief Ava Hill supported the Group of Six by giving them a pep talk before their grand opening. The Group of Six includes Kendall Mitten, Chris General, Evan Lickers, Imani Mitten, Kaya Hill and Frankie Warner. PHOTO BY ELIZABETH "BETTS" DOXTATOR

“The objective is to provide a safe place for them to meet and create.

That’s why support from the community is crucial!

Encouragement and guidance from the community members could help these aspiring artists set bigger goals,” said Betts.

The artists had received a lot of support from the community, including Elected Chief Ava Hill, who gave them all a pep talk prior to the opening.

With built confidence from all their hard work, they greeted the public, who enjoyed having such a unique event included in Community Awareness Week. The group had their paintings, greeting cards and small posters of their works for sale. Most of their paintings were sold. The event also included a youth caterer providing food and refreshments.

“We need to keep our young people involved to

let them know that we care about them, that we love them. Even if it’s one person at a time for bead class, dance, sewing, language, take them by the hand one by one if that’s what it takes,” said Mary Jacobs, a Seneca artist from Cattaraugus who was an inspiration for the Group of Six. Betts emphasizes that the focus of the work and the event was to provide more support for the youth in the community by sharing artistic skills. “Provide basic skills to do something like paint, to work in
