865 kilometre walk raises awareness on suicide

By Jayson Koblun HAMILTON – A group of youth and young adults from Attawapiskat and surrounding areas have walked more than 800 kilometres — from Cochrane, Ont. to St. Catharines — to raise awareness on suicide.

The group left Cochrane on June 7 and met at the Assembly of First Nations National First Na-tion Youth Summit in Niagara Falls last week to conclude their walk and address the chiefs pre-sent.

“We want to address the issue of suicide on reserves across Ontario,” said Patrick Etherington, a supporter and helper from Moose Factory, Ont. “We don’t have the answer, but we want to show our commitment to solving the problem before it gets worse.”

This is the 11th walk Etherington has been a part of since 2005 that helps raise awareness for various problems that face First Nations today. This walk is about bringing awareness to suicide, but he has done other walks that focus on things like honouring treaties and remembering resi-dential school survivors.

“Our walk is about empowering our youth and giving them a voice,” said Etherington. “Every time Attawapiskat is portrayed in the media, it’s negative; always

the “Youth Walk of Hope” made a pit stop in Hamilton last week where the Two Row Times met up with them at the Hamilton Regional Indian Centre as they came into the city.

Aboriginal Healthy Living Co-ordinator Charlene Hemlock, from the Hamilton Regional Indian Centre said that they invited the group to rest at their location because they are so inspired and grateful for their efforts; she was

honoured to offer the group some encouragement on their journey.

“I care for all the youth that have been lost to suicide and the families that have been effected by it, but especially now because suicide has become a normal thing to my children,” said Hemlock. “Suicide doesn’t surprise them anymore and it hurts me to see my kids growing up like that. This walk, is so appreciated and important.”

about money or suicide or crime,” he said. “We’re doing this walk so the rest of Canada can see how much we actually do care about solving our problems.

“It’s not money, or donations we want. We want to be understood,” he said. “That how we live on reserves is different than how the rest of Canada lives and if everyone could understand that, then they would have an easier time acknowledging that a lot of our problems don’t exist be-cause we want them to.”

Etherington said that the easiest part about the walk is just that — walking.

“Walking is the easy part,” he said.

Etherington said that the police were notified and that the group

is approved to walk on the high-ways and that space has been made for them so they may walk their routes safely.

“The first thing you feel is the physical pain; the blisters and sore legs, but then you ask yourself why you are putting yourself through this physical pain and are reminded of how suicide has effected you.

“You think about all the people suicide has taken from you and then those emotions come into play and that’s what takes the biggest toll on you as you walk — but is also what pushes you forward.”

Twent y-one-year-old Anthony Farmer joined the walk a few days later than most, on June 16, he joined the walk because he felt like this is something he had to support.

“I’ve lost two family members to suicide and lots of friends,” he said.

“I would say everyone who is a part of this walk has lost people that they love to suicide and it’s becoming an epidemic.”

Farmer said that walking hasn’t been too hard for him but the high temperatures, walking in the rain and especially walking up some of the hills on the highway was.

“Hills look like nothing when you’re in a car and you don’t even notice them while you’re driving,” he said. “On foot though, it’s completely different. It can take a really long time.

A lot of people cheer or honk for us as they drive by — some people gave us the finger, but that doesn’t effect me, it just pushes me forward.”

National First Nations Youth Summit Takes the Hilton

BY TRT Staff NIAGARA FALLS – Several well-known Chiefs, members of the Assembly of First Nations National Youth Council and the Ontario First Nations Youth Council were given the opportunity to welcome youth from across Canada to traditional Haudenosaunee territory for the National First Nations Youth Summit held within the decadent Hilton Hotel.

The day began with the traditional thanksgiving address performed by Six Nations Elder Floyd Harris, and continued with remarks from Six Nations Band Council Chief Ava Hill, AFN Regional Chief Morley Googoo, and remarks from OFNYPC members Councillor Mark Hill and Chezney Martin. Soon to follow were speeches by Traditional Knowledge Keeper Mary Deleaeary and Chief Cadmus Delorme.

But, the Dialogue and Strategy Session proved to be one of the most powerful aspects of the day, as this session asked for all youth to participate in sharing what they felt was important from a document titled “Calls to Action of Life Promotion.”

This document included calls to action and reform in 12 different ways; change growing inequities in living for indigenous people, adequate and sustainable funding for health, regular and accessible training opportunities to youth who want to learn to be supportive to other youth in their communities (ie: safeTALK), adequate and sustainable funding for gatherings related to suicide prevent and life promotion, accessible educational programs that can help rebuild culture and language, all governments work closely with

National representatives of the AFN Youth Council Pose with the Head of Indian Affairs Carolyn Bennett, who took an offering of tobacco in promise that she will do all in her power to ensure that the Calls to Action document brought forth by the youth will be addressed. PHOTO BY TRT STAFF indigenous leaders to implement recommendations, to the Minister of Health; efforts to re-establish relationships between First Peoples and Canada, to the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs; education for First Nations students be inclusive of value and beliefs of said nations, to the Provincial Ministries of Education; all Canadian children learn about Canada's First Peoples and its colonial roots to restore respectful and equal relationships, and specifically to the Minister of Health; programs that are making a positive difference for indigenous people will receive stable funding, and another meeting with the Minister of Health will be sought to address the progress of these Calls to Action.

These Calls to Action are hoped to be met with the full attention of addressed leaders, and this session received a lot of feed back from eager youth.

Later, a youth panel

comprised of Tehatsistahawi, Gwahnahjikwehns, Onawatin and Mashkode Bizhiki Washk Kwe were given the floor to speak and offer the youth in the room encouragement to turn to culture for healing. And soon to follow was the Kaha:wi Powwow Bootcamp which got a lot of participation from the youth even though it was during lunch time.

Finally; the Knowledge Exchange Workshops, Skill Building Sessions and Tool Building Sessions began, and youth were given the opportunity to hand pick the sessions and workshops they thought would most benefit them.

But soon, the day came to an end and this was the time for AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde to speak.

“I'd like to take the time to acknowledge the youth council,” said Bellegarde, in regards to the Calls to Action.

“Two things we said, and you've come up with a 12 point action plan. I'm so

thankful that the minister accepted that tobacco,” he said, as he mentioned that the plan didn't just point to one minister.

“You've come up with the solutions, you've come up with the answers, it's not just pointing out all of the problems, but you've got 12 answers. So, we're go-

ing to work with you and push so that the Crown acknowledges and the Crown moves forward all of those Calls to Action.”

Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett also recognized that the Calls to Action addressed to her specifically, revolves around education and cultural identity for students.

“What we are saying is what you've been telling us,” said Bennett in regards to language revitalization. “That language and culture in schools is not some optional thing.

'It's only if we can afford it' like it's some fluffy extra, like it's a leisure.

But this is intrinsic to peoples outcomes, this is actually whether they're going to do well or not.

If it's not taught at home then it needs to be taught at school And we need to have people in our schools and in our summer camps who actually can instill and bring out something.

That [can bring out] that secure personal cultural identity, and self-esteem,” she said.

“So, I guess I'm just here to say thank you for inspiring me and thank you for every time that I meet a young person and they have hope, and it's just so impressive that they know what needs to happen in order for not just the youth, but all of the people you know who are struggling, to get back on a positive path,” she said

Two Row on the Grand: looking forward

By Jayson Koblun

PORT MAITLAND – A group of Onkwehon:weh and settler allies from the Two Row on the Grand canoe paddle met in Port Maitland, Ont. on the weekend to say their PMS Black C goodbyes and complete the paddle with a closPMS 186 ing ceremony.

“It was the best day,” said Ellie Joseph, who is part of the event’s steering committee. “The creator watched out for us.”

During the closing ceremonies, everyone at the event was invited to partake in helping plant a white pine tree near the esplanade at Port Maitland, everyone was invited to take some tobacco to place by the tree’s roots and surround the hole with mulch. The tree is very important to the Haudenosaunee.

“These roots of peace have an incredible reach,” said Rick Hill, from the Indigenous Knowledge Centre at Six Nations Polytechnic as he told the story of the symbolism behind the white pine to the group.

“We’re going to live in perpetual harmony with each other, provided we treat each other as if we’re members of one family. That’s how you make peace.” said Rick.

“And we’re going to resolve things using our good mind rather than violence. And we’re going to share and we’re going to respect one another.”

The Two Row on the Grand canoe paddle is a symbolic renewal of the Two Row Wampum — raising awareness of the original peace-treaty between First Nation and settler communities made more than 400 years ago. The paddle began on July 1 in Paris,

the paddlers and supporters, is very encouraging and I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.”

After a few more speeches and the Thanksgiving Address spoken in Cayuga by Leroy “Jock” Hill, two young girls performed a water song. Then Joseph said a few final words to the group.

“This [paddle] has been an amazing experience and I thank you all for being a part of making it a success,” said Joseph, holding back tears.

“You are all family to me and I look forward to meeting you all again.”

Future paddles are in the works and Joseph said that maybe the group would consider organizing paddles on different rivers in the area, but that the Two Row on the Grand canoe paddle is not meant to be an annual event and that the idea is to simply bring together like-minded Onkwehon:weh and settler allies to re-polish the tarnished chain of friendship.

Haldimand Walk: a journey of discovery

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Ken Wilson was born and raised in Brantford with a cursory knowledge that there was at sometime, an Indian presence here. Beyond that, like most settlers, he knew nothing, and knew even less about the residential schools in the area.

After leaving the area to attend post-secondary school, which took him to Ottawa and then to Regina where he presently lives, he began to find out about the issues affecting Aboriginal peoples and in particular, that of Six Nations and the Haldimand Tract.

“One purpose of my walk is to experience the size of the Haldimand Tract,” Wilson told the Two Row Times outside the Mohawk Institute building on his way through Brantford. “It’s one thing to look at it on a map, but it’s quite another thing to walk it, from source to mouth.

This was a big piece of land.”

When he first heard of the atrocities done at residential schools, he knew he had to do something to help expose the truth.

“When I first started reading about it I was just shocked at the outrageous behaviour of the early settlers,” he said.

Wilson also walked the community of Santiago a few years ago and enjoyed that experience, so he began thinking about how he could help with the saving the evidence campaign to turn the old residential school into a museum and memorial to those dark days in Canadian, and Onkwenonwe history.

“I contacted Janice Montour [from the Woodland Cultural Centre] and asked if the museum would be

University of Regina mature student, Ken Wilson, walked the entire length of the Haldimand tract from the source of the Grand River near Dundock, Ont. to its mouth at Port Maitland, Ont. The journey was to chronicle the vastness and beauty of the Grand River for his blog as well as to help him understand better what exactly was taken from the Haudenosaunee since 1784. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE interested if I did a fundraiser for the project,” Wilson recalls. “He also inquired with others from Six Nations to see if there was anything inappropriate in doing this.”

He gathered pledges using the existing accounts set up by the centre, and began his journey. But for him, it is much more than a long walk. He was given instructions as to how he was to conduct himself while on this walk including how to burn tobacco every morning before he begins to keep it pure in the sight of the Creator, how to show respect for the waters he crossed and to be alcohol free.

“After a long walk I like to have a cold beer at the end of the day, so that was the hardest thing, but I have remained faithful to that promise.”

He began his trek at a motel near Dundock, Ont. and has stayed in a series of bed and breakfasts along the way. Wilson was back in his old stomping grounds of Brantford visiting the Mohawk Chapel,

Kanata Mohawk Village, the Woodland Cultural Centre and Museum, and the infamous “Mush Hole.”

All of these sites he was vaguely familiar with when he lived in Brantford, but with no understanding of what any of that meant.

This time he was seeing those sites with entirely new eyes and hearing the story of the Haldimand Tract with new ears.

While in the region Wilson met with a list of people to learn more about the people he grew up next door to.

His journey ended at

Port Maitland with sore feet but a rejuvenated mind having walked the entire distance of the Haldimand Tract.

Wilson’s Haldimand walk was not only one of personal discovery but also a way to share some of the knowledge he has lately learned, by way of a daily journal he compiled along the way and posted on his blog site, muscleandboneblog.wordpress. com.

“This has become a spiritual journey for me,” he says. “There are times when I am overwhelmed

by feelings of shame for our history. I am really hoping to get past that.”

Looking towards the old residential school building, Wilson said, “The crimes that were committed here are just astonishing. It’s impossible to imagine a mindset that see this kind of thing as permissible.”

“I think the TRC [Truth and Reconciliation Commission] has been very helpful in focusing on one piece of that history and a piece that all people can relate to because we were all children at one time

and we have all been to school.”

He thinks the commission has made the mainstream more open to other aspects of the long history of broken relationships, breached treaties and broken promises, as he himself now understands.

Although pleased former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is no longer standing in the way of real reconciliation, he is also watching closely to see if new Prime Minister Trudeau’s promises for a nation-to-nation relationship works when it starts costing Canada and Canadians money.

“I really don’t think he knows what a nation-to-nation relationship will look like or will cost.

Trudeau is talking a good game, but we will see if there is any action,” says Wilson. “But, we have an opportunity here, and I hope we will grab onto it with both hands.”

The journey is in relation to a course he is taking at the University of Regina, towards a Master’s of Fine Arts in Theatre, of all things. But Wilson sees the walk as a theatre performance for his many blog site followers as he posts his journal from the Haldimand Track walk each day.

The cleanest fish ever

Send your letters to tworowtimes@ gmail.com. Letters may be edited for length and clarity. The opin-

Editorial by Jonathan Garlow

The Two Row Times offices have been barraged with letters as of late. Letters, which are demanding a public boat ramp be created for the people of Six Nations Territory to freely access.

Their complaint is that the Chiefswood ramp has restrictive hours of operation and costs money. We learned that the parks summer hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but many of our anglers say they like to start really early or sometimes go fishin’ in the dark.

There must be other options right? Todd Cowan mentioned to us on Facebook that the Onondaga boat ramp is cost free but also “steep, and [of bad quality].”

We are supposed to be people of the Grand River, but we have to go off reserve or pay to access it here. Shouldn’t we have the right to fish our own waters right here from our Territory?

We should have four or five public boat ramps along Highway 54, 4th Line, 6th Line and 7th Line with nice parking areas and picnic tables.

Who is the appropriate governing body you would go talk to about this? Installing our own boat access to the Grand River seems within the mandate of the Elected Council Administration, maybe public works or something. Or perhaps HDI would be interested in building a public boat ramp for the community since they have been handing out money recently.

As a declaration of Sovereignty maybe the Mohawks could build a boat launch behind the Chapel in Eagle Place. It fits right in with the Haldimand Declaration which says the Mohawks and such others own six miles on either side of the Grand River.

Six Nautical miles, some have angrily said (that works out to approximately seven regular miles).

Somebody needs to step up to the plate.

The Grand River is right in their name so who knows, maybe GRE would sponsor a few boat launch areas somewhere. The locals have dreams of catching some Walleye and feeding their families so perhaps the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation would be willing to help.

Maybe all of the above!

Why not all work together on this and get these boats out on the water.

Just imagine a huge boat launch, marina, tourist area on Chiefswood road just over the bridge before Highway 54. Near that water pumping booth — it could take up the whole field for parking and convert the shore to a fancy dock.

Why not take things a step further and have the band pay for a few boatloads of workers to catch fresh fish every day for the elders. Whether it be elected or traditional Council that gets the bill, the people would benefit. That’s somebody’s dream job!

This is all assuming that Grand River fish are healthy enough to be eaten. The water really looks kind’a bwooty and there always seems to be boil water advisories and toxic spills upstream but then again many anglers swear by it.

“The cleanest fish ever,” they say.

And that’s what it really comes down to. Our people want to provide for ourselves and our families in a natural way and with our own two hands. Food sovereignty, right?

We have a history. For thousands and thousands of years our nations have harvested fish from these waters, giving thanks and living in harmony with creation, and with each other.

Let’s help our people continue this tradition with dignity.

ions expressed in the letters or submitted opinion pieces are those of the writer and not necessarily those of the Two Row Times.

Disambiguation English common law is the system of law based on the decision of courts of England without authority of written law but rather on customary usage by court.

Common law as applied outside the England/”UK” has and is now making effort at assumption of jurisdiction over others and their lands by way of Her Britannic Majesty’s Courts.

This is fundamental to colonial agenda as extension of and for support of the “illusion of lawful authority.”

At a time when common law was struggling to gain strength in the Dominion of Canada, Indigenous People were not allowed to have “legal” representation, but were deemed to be wards under the protection of Her Majesty’s Administrators according to the Indian Act: an Act to encourage the gradual civilization of the Indian Tribes.

This was the “principle in Common Law” that was the foundation for the establishment of the “residential school system”. This principle in Common Law and assumption of authority continues to guide Her Majesty’s Courts through the Attorney General of Canada.

“Canada’s Land Claim Policy” has no successful outcome that would benefit the Indigenous People. That same policy was never meant to benefit the Indigenous but to further the colonial agenda.

Under “Canada’s Land Claim Policy” it is that the Indigenous who are required to prove the “Claim” in the Courts of Her Britannic Majesty. The Land Claim is in fact the concept that Lands of the Indian/North America were without lawful title (terra

nullius). This concept is explicitly stated in the Ontario motto: “Ontario Yours to Discover”.

We are now asked by Stephen Harper and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to accept apologies for the past and to become full participants in the “Canadian Society”.

We are already full participants, as targets and victims of the policy and Administration.

One must become aware of the role played by Indigenous people, the Indians of the Indian Act. The Indians are purportedly the beneficiaries of the fiduciary trust of the English Crown/Europeans. “Indians” within the meaning of the Indian Act are the focus of abuse within “Canadian Society” through the Common Law assumptions of Her Majesty’s Courts.

The TRC has no power to implement the recommendations nor did the TRC investigate the extent to which the Indian question plagues the Dominion.

Criminal abuse, sexual abuse, and murder are the realities of the Residential School legacy. The admission of “Cultural Genocide” made by one Stephen Harper is in fact an effort to mask the actual Genocide that did take place in Residential Schools.

Has that policy changed?

Rather than fulfilling the potential for accountability and good, the beneficiaries of the trust are subjected to deplorable and dangerous living conditions that have received International attention.

One needs to ask:

1.

What forces are at work that prevents clarity in the accounting of the fiduciary obligations of the Crown?

2.

Why is it so difficult to be “Indian” in Canadian Society (e.g. rate of incarcerations, conflict of cultural values)?

3. Why are Indigenous children apprehended at a rate that exceeds the rate of others within Canada (“I am a witness”)?

4. What education curriculum reflects the 400 years of contact between European and Indigenous Peoples of the Western Hemisphere?

As the policy of “Kill the Indian and save the man” became the objective of Her Britannic Majesty’s administration and employees working in Canada’s residential who witting or unwitting (or half witting), were the agents and perpetrators of genocide.

The objective continues within policy/police of DIA/DIAND administration. Has the "Indian Question" in the Dominion changed? Are we acceptable to Canadian political theorists?

I think not.

If one wants to live as Our Ancestors, one will be subjected to fascist-like policies of the Crown agents that protects the perpetrators of genocide by way of environmental degradation and resource extraction and social pressure. One will spend more time and energy to defend the choice to live witin the natural world and follow family customs and ways than the actual activities of natural and respectful life practices.

Once again: What are the forces that affect the Indigeinous of the Western Hemisphere?

Protocol or Peace?

By Alex Jamieson Jr.

At one time the five nations warred amongst themselves causing much bloodshed, sadness and mourning. Instead of thriving and vibrant villages, anxiety and fear were constant as an attack from another of the five nations could occur at any time.

Seeing how much grief the warring was causing in our villages, the Peacemaker sent Hiawata to the five nations with an idea for peace among the nations. The idea, the Great Law, would bring peace by promoting the creation of democratic institution called the Five Nations Confederacy which used equality and consensus as its foundation.

This consensus and equality begins among clan members who all have an equal voice. The clan chief, who is merely a spokesperson for the clan, can present his clan’s position to the other clan chiefs in the nation.

If all of the clans of a particular nation have achieved consensus on an issue, that it can be said that people of the nation are of one mind.

If all the nations of the confederacy have achieved consensus on an issue then it can be said that the people of the confederacy are of one mind, united.

It is the total agreement, consensus of the people that bring us the Great Peace. After all, what is there to fight about if we are all in agreement?

If we agree that consensus and equality brings peace among our people then we must also agree that lack of equality and consensus does not bring peace but rather strife in our community and threats of physical harm.

Such lack of consensus has other negative effects because without it the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) chiefs are acting without a mandate from the clans they purport to be speaking on behalf of.

How can the HCCC

chiefs truly claim to speak for their clan members when they don’t even know who the vast majority of them are?

If the HCCC and Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) spent as much time working towards clan research and restructuring as they have at being unaccountable and inciting division in our community, they would at least be able to say they are working towards getting a degree of a mandate from their clan.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case which raises questions about whether the HCCC is committed to following the Great Law. What we are left with now is a type of collection of monarchies that are dictatorial in nature. The vast majority of the HCCC’s are behaving as dictators instead of spokesmen for their clan.

This behavior is contrary to the Great Law and is not conducive to promoting peace among our people.

Information is power and when the HCCC and HDI withhold information from the people we are then disempowered to point of being powerless to provide informed consent and obtain accountability.

When, for example, were the 50 HCCC’s going to tell us they are shareholders in a company using our territory?

Why are the details of the HDI applications kept hidden from the people?

Not only are we not made aware of the details HDI development proposals, we are not even made aware that a project exists for up to five years. That, in my opinion, is being done by to circumvent any of our people from trying to stop HDI and HCCC approved developments.

Such withholding of information to our people subverts the fundamental values of the Great Law regarding consensus and equality and is threatening the Great Peace. The Peace relies on equal and consensus decision making democracy starting

with clan members, not what are, in effect, Kings and Queens acting in a dictatorial manner.

So not only are the Chiefs acting as dictators without mandates from their clans, they have also disallowed community members to have a voice during HCCC meetings.

This type of disempowering behavior is meant to maintain control and avoid scrutiny which raises the question, why. If the HCCC and HDI are acting in the best interests of our people, then why is so much hidden from us?

Why is it like pulling teeth to try to force these people to be accountable?

This secrecy and the monetization now of 50 shareholder Chiefs is not behavior that follows the Great Law because it reinforces lack of consensus and inequality and is therefore not conducive to peace among our people.

Then there is the question of how there got to be another Confederacy in the Haldimand Deed area?

Also, as the Mohawks have never signed onto the Canandaigua Treaty or the Simcoe Deed, why are they now being lumped into something referred to as the Six Nations?

Why are some people without a clan embraced by the HCCC while others are not? Non-recognition by the HCCC of adoptions into clans is contrary to the White Roots of Peace.

Why is Alan McNaughton allowed to have a voice as a Mohawk chief when the Confederacy Council sent a letter to him signed by the HCCC secretary at the time, Lawrence Nanticoke, that his selection is considered illegitimate and that he will never be condoled by the Council?

Why hasn’t this been explained in detail to the people?

Why have the HCCC and HDI continually refuse to attend community forums run by an objective third party?

Also, I have also never heard from the Great Law about the Six Nation Confederacy condoling clan mothers. It is my un-

derstanding that the clan themselves determine who is the clan mother and if she falls ill and cannot fulfill her duties then the clan selects another clan mother from among the clan. The new clan mother does not have to be a close blood relative, just a member of the clan.

It is my understanding the same is true with chiefs.

And what is more important, protocol and dictatorship or consensus, equality and then the Great Peace among our people?

After having had his wife’s purse searched by the head of security at the DCE reclamation site, Dr. Charles Johnston commented on the so called General Surrenders in the 1840s.

He said that, “In the lack of any bona fides from the people,” of the Six Nations in the signing of the socalled surrenders they are illegitimate and void.

What he meant was that

in the absence of apparent support from Six Nations people for the surrendering of our territory, the surrenders are themselves invalid.

This to me says that any deals the HCCC and HDI make with anybody will be highly assailable and will be determined, sooner or later, as illegitimate too.

If any of these observations concern you then perhaps what is needed is to take a step back, regroup and form a decision-making system that is inclusionary of all and puts more emphasis on consensus-building and peace among our people instead of protocols, titles and dictatorial control.

Colleges collaborating for student success at Six Nations Polytechnic

By Nahnda Garlow BRANTFORD — Six Nations Polytechnic’s new Brantford Campus is headed towards a bustling inaugural fall season. Administration teams are hustling to get the new city campus on Elgin Street ready for the class of 2016.

After years of negotiating to acquire the property, Six Nations Polytechnic CEO Rebecca Jamieson said the school was able to successfully work with current property owners Innovative Blast Technologies — who purchased the entire Elgin campus in 2014.

“Initially, Six Nations Polytechnic tried to purchase the building but was unsuccessful, at which point we entered into a lease with the current owner.”

That lease includes a partnership with the RISE (Realize Individual Success Everyday) Centre, which is home to a multi-complex athletic facility servicing youth and young adults in athletic training, nutrition and

sports medicine.

Developing partnerships is something that is a strong heritage of Six Nations Polytechnic.

The institute opened the doors to higher learning on the territory in 1993, providing a local space for Ontario accredited post-secondary schools to deliver their programs to students locally.

Now in 2016 ‘Polytech’ is recognized for delivering indigenous knowledge and providing access to education and services, with multiple facilities providing learning and services to a broad student body.

Mohawk College is one of those partner institutions and Indigenous Education Co-ordinator Amy Kelaidis says the coming season of classes at the Brantford campus have got the entire network of staff and partner facilities excited to see what fruits come of the vision.

“Six Nations has been known as a hub for a long time as far as indigenous knowledge transmission but to finally see it

in a place where there are multiple institutions working together for the same student body — its not just Mohawk, its not just Six Nations but it’s also the Rise Centre and how they’re contributing to it. It’s the City of Brantford and how they are contributing to it. All of our student services coming together to service the same student body. In the past its been Mohawk students get serviced by Mohawk staff, Mac students get serviced by Mac staff. But here it’s going to be a joined effort and to see how many people are going to be putting effort into the student success - I can’t wait to see it because I know its going to be so amazing,” said Kelaidis.

Her anticipation was echoed by several staff at a recent Open House event held at the campus.

Brantford Campus Manager Connie Greubel said there are so many new possibilities that are open to take students towards a successful career.

“Our focus is on making sure that the students

It’s about being able to get a career doing something you love, making enough money so your family can live a good life. I think that programs that were offering here are going to do that on people.”

Programs at the Brantford Campus include several new to the school for 2016 — including Indigenous Visual Arts as a shared program with the Ontario College of Art & Design, Pre-trades and technology shared with Sault College and Police Foundations with Aboriginal Communities shared with Mohawk College.

Both the Police Foundations course and the Practical Nursing course offer a specialized focus on working within indigenous communities. This gives Six Nations Polytechnic graduates a potentially strong competitive edge when it comes to job placements in a new culture of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Director of Student Services Taina Lickers says the TRC recommendations for education will eventually trickle down into post secondary learning throughout the

country — but because Polytech is an indigenous provider they are ahead of the game in terms of educating the student body on First Nations issues.

Lickers said, “It’s weaved throughout all of the programming that Polytech offers already.

Now they’re tying it into those recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that now exist.”

Lickers said that creating a student body culture where students are cradled during their time in school and provided with services to help them succeed are high on the priority list for all staff — and the vision is grand including accessible transportation for students from Hamilton to Six Nations and Brantford.

“We’ve just submitted a proposal to the Province of Ontario through the Poverty Reduction strategy. The proposal centred around having an inner campus transportation model so we can get students from the Six Nations campus and vice versa,” said Lickers.

“But also part of that local poverty reduction

strategy part of that is connecting the Six Nations community members with services that are provided here in the city that they otherwise might not have access to.

So we’re looking at building those partnerships to bring them here to the Brantford campus not only to service our students but to service our community as well,” said Lickers.

The school is definitely quickly going to become a major contender for continuing education in Southern Ontario, and it is open to students of all backgrounds.

Greubel said, “The campus here is open to anybody in the community so we’re looking at transportation at more then just from Ohsweken but from Hamilton and Brantford as well. For people who drive we have a massive parking lot that is free. There is no cost to students for parking.”

Polytechnic is still accepting applications for the Fall 2016 semester.

A plant for every occasion

By Jayson Koblun

NEW CREDIT – Joseph Pitawanakwat says that every plant in the world has at least one specific medicinal use — last night he showed a group of workshop students in New Credit three plants that everybody can benefit from when drank as a tea.

“I think every plant on the face on the earth has at least once specific medicinal use — maybe even more, but one for sure,” said Pitawanakwat, from the Creator’s Garden, a small business based out of Manitoulin Island with a focus on teaching the legitimacy of plant-based medicine for healing and overall wellness.

“I picked up the plants we are going to use tonight on the drive over here from Hagersville — there are so many types of plants in the area you can learn from,” he said.

At last night’s workshop at the New Credit First Nation Community Centre, he showed an audience how beneficial tea from the St. John’s wort, yarrow and bergamot plants can be.

“St. John’s wort is a ‘happy’ plant,” said Pitawanakwat. “Tea from this plant battles depression and if taken daily can totally turn a person around when it comes to their mental happiness.”

Pitawanakwat said that St. John’s wort it is a powerful little flower and that the kinds of dark places he has seen this tea bring depressed people back from is amazing.

“St. John’s wort flowers

bloom early on in summer, but were a little late this year because it’s been so dry, but now that they are out you should be able to pick them well into August,” said Pitawanakwat.

“Fresh is best — always, but if you choose to dry the plant so you can enjoy the tea in colder months, go ahead, that’s fine.”

Pitawanakwat is great story storyteller and does a great job telling adventure through historical knowledge, cultural, ecological and medical significance.

“Sometimes I ramble, but I know what I’m talking about,” he said. “I encourage people who listen to me to test what I tell them and double-check the facts I give them. I’m telling you that St. John’s wort battles depression, but go ahead and look it up elsewhere before you start making it yourself.”

Pitawanakwat encourages people in his workshops to try the tea he teaches about. He takes his students on a storytelling adventure and then he brings out a big pot of the tea he just spoke about and anybody who wants to can try it and then they talk some more.

Pitawanakwat also shared his knowledge about the yarrow plant and bergamot. Explaining to the audience that yarrow has amazing capabilities to regulate blood pressure.

“If your blood pressure is low, the tea will bring it to a normal level. Same if it is too high, the tea will bring it back down to a balance,” he said. Pitawanakwat also spoke about the benefits of drinking tea from the bergamot plant.

Bergamot is known to aide fevers, heart ailments, nausea and vomiting and to improve appetite.

The Creator’s Garden is focused, first and foremost, on teaching the legitimacy of plant based medicine. Joseph and his wife, Kristy, teach people the intricacies of how to sustainably harvest and use every part of these beautiful plants.

The workshop is taking place again on Wednesday July 13 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served and Joseph will be speaking again about the different benefits you can get out of easy-to-find and access, local plants.

Creating artwork to fight against Sexual Assault

BY Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – Have you seen a colourful container on your way into Ohsweken lately?

That would have to be the newly placed “Sexual Assault: The Roadshow” container, which is a part of a partnership between Ganohkwasra and Award-winning Artist Lillian Allen and Sexual Assault Expert Jane Doe. This container and project has been designed to help move away from traditional approaches to sexual assault through artistic expression, as the bin opens up like a gallery to display art created by youth and adults, male and female from a certain community.

Project Artistic Collaborator, Julia Jamieson explained that the initiative has a very strong team.

“Jane Doe was raped at knife point in the 80's,” said Jamieson, further stating that Doe had decided to take on

PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN the police force thereafter. “She ended up suing them actually, because seven months prior to her assault there were other assaults, other rapings and the police didn't notify the women

in the area about them.

They were worried that the women would become 'hysterical,' so the police didn't work to empower the women. So, [Doe] fought, and took the Toronto police force

to task and 11 years later she was successful. And now, she set precedent in the legal world that she's known as 'Jane Doe versus the Toronto Police Force,'” she said.

also the Artistic Director and she's known as the 'Grandmother of Spoken Word,” she said. “So, what we are doing today, tomorrow and Thursday is we're leaving [the container] open to the community and we're going to be talking to people who are interested in collaborating."

It is hoped that youth and adults from Six Nations will be the ones looking to collaborate to help fill the container after creating artwork in workshops that shed light upon the facts and myths surrounding consent.

“We'll soon be doing workshops and the workshops will be themed out and they'll focus on all types of inter-disciplinary arts.

From spoken word, to movement music, etchings; and we'll also be using the art to educate,” she said.

Jamieson said that the idea and focus of the art will circulate around the virtue of consent, and

knowing what words to use and when to use them. She also mentioned that the bin will be travelling across Ontario for the next three years as well.

“This particular container goes to 15 different communities, and we are number two on their tour,” she said. “The artwork that you see here is from Toronto and this will go back after we workshop and develop our own art here in our community. Our art will be opened up to a community in Hamilton and they will be looking at our art the way that we are looking at Toronto's.”

If you would like to get involved and create some art; the Project has opened a Visitation and Registration period from Wednesday, July 13 - Thursday, July 14 and will enable registrars to select which workshops they would like to attend from Tuesday, July 19 – Thursday, July 21.

OTTAWA – Word Ottawa is putting millions of dollars towards health care for indigenous children on reserve is drawing criticism from indigenous leaders.

The funds are part of a court ordered resolution from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal earlier this year that found Canada guilty of discriminatory funding practices for indigenous children on reserve in care.

Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett announced $382 million dollars in new funding for the health care needs of indigenous children in care.

First Nations leaders say the court-ordered funding required is not only needed for health care - but social services as well.

Excerpts from the Great Law of Peace

Teachings from The Great Law of Peace

By The Late Louis Karoniaktajeh Hall WAMPUM 1: DEGANAWIDA AND THE CHIEFS PLANT THE TREE OF PEACE I am Deganawida. With the statesmen of the League of Five Nations, I plant the Tree of Great Peace. I plant it in your territory. Atotarho and the Onondaga Nation: in the territory of you who are the Firekeepers. I name the tree Tsioneratasekowa, the Great White Pine.

Under the shade of this Tree of Great Peace, we spread the soft, white feathery down of the Globe Thistle as seats for you, Atotarho and your cousin statesmen.

We place you upon those seats, spread soft with the feathery down of the Globe Thistle, there beneath the shade of the spreading branches of the Tree of Great Peace. There shall you sit and watch the Fire of the League of Five Nations. All the affairs of the League shall be transacted at this place before you, Atotarho and your cousin statesmen, by the statesmen of the League of Five Nations.

Note: The term Five Nations makes it evident that all the laws were made before 1714 at

which time the Tuscarora Nation was admitted into the Confederacy, but without an equal voice, contrary to the Plan of Deganawida. Apparently, the first Grand Councils of the Iroquois Confederacy were held under the evergreen white pine, the largest tree in Eastern North America, more than 250 feet high. All cut down 200 years ago by the white men who afterwards never let the great tree grow to full size again in their haste and eagerness to exploit it.

Note: Several translators have been given credit for the translation from the Indian to English. No doubt some meaning got lost in the shuffle and again in the translation to Mohawk.

However, it must be easier to translate into Mohawk as it is a language and not a dialect which have sounds missing and words shortened. The purpose of the "Note" section is to explain some terms which have puzzled many readers. I am solely responsible for this translation and the only one to be criticized.

WAMPUM 5: THE COUNCIL OF THE MOHAWKS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTIES The Council of the Mohawks shall be divided into three parts: The Bear Clan Chiefs or Statesman: Tehanakarine. Ostawenserentha and Soskoharowane are the first.

The Turtle Clan Chiefs or Statesmen: Tekarihoken, Ayonwatha and Satekariwate are the second.

The Wolf Clan Chiefs or Statesmen: Sarenkowane, Teyonhekwen and Orenrekowa are the third.

The first party is to listen only to the discussion of the second and third parties and if an error is made, or the proceeding irregular, they are to call attention to it and when the case is right and properly decided by the two parties, they shall confirm the decision of the two parties. The Well Keeper of the Turtle Clan, Chief Tekarihoken an-

nounces the subject to be discussed and passes the issue over the Council Fire to the Wolf Clan Chiefs for their decision. No one else but the Chiefs may speak when the Chief's Council is in session. The Wolf Clan Chiefs deliberate in low tones and when a decision is arrived at, their Speaker stands up and passes their decision over the Fire to the Turtle Clan Chiefs. In turn, the Turtle Clan Chiefs deliverate and come to a decision which in this instance is the same as that of the Wolf Clan Chiefs.

The Turtle Clan Speaker announces the decision of the Turtle Clan Chiefs to the Wolf Clan Chiefs and passes on their joint decision to the Bear Clan Chiefs who shall then confirm the decision of the two parties and declare the issue passed and asks if the Well Keeper has other issues?

If it is a Grand Council, the case is then referred to the Seneca Chiefs for their decision. When the Seneca statesmen have decided, in accord with the Mohawk statesmen, the case or question shall be referred to the Cayuga and Oneida statesmen on the opposite side of the house.

In the event that the Turtle Clan Chiefs disagree with the decsiion of the Wolf Clan Chiefs, the Fire Keepers (Bear Clan Chiefs) shall invoke the rule that the two sides must deliberate again

and because of the new informaiton revealed by the disagreement, the two dies are now likely to agree and in coming to an agreement the issue is confirmed and passed by the Fire Keepers, the Bear Clan Chiefs. Should the Turtle Clan Chiefs and the Wolf Clan Chiefs come up with the same disagreements in their second deliberation, the Fire Keepers shall then render the decision they see fit in case of a disagreement by the two bodies. (See Wampum 10.)

Should the Fire Keepers, the Bear Clan Chiefs, disagree with the decisions of the Wolf Clan Chiefs and the Turtle Clan Chiefs whose decisions are the same, the same rule must again be supplied and the Turtle Clan Chiefs must once again deliberate on the issue and the Wolf Clan Chiefs must do the same. If their decisions are the same as before, the Fire Keepers, Bear Clan Chiefs, have to go along with their decisions and are compelled to confirm their joint decision.

Note:The above is the procedure when the Grand Council of the Iroquois Confederacy is in session. Iroquois people are urged to read the Law as often as possible in order to know when the law is being violated.

Canada introduces new crib and cradle regulations

Water

By TRT staff OTTAWA – Stronger requirements and regulations for cribs, cradles and bassinets will better protect infants and young children from potential injury or death.

On June 29, 2016 the Government of Canada introduced new Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations (CCBR) to improve the safety of these products for infants and young children. The new Regulations, which will come into force on December 29, 2016, include a prohibition on the sale, importation, manufacture or advertisement of traditional drop-side cribs.

“When parents tuck their kids in at night, they should have confidence that they will be safe and sound,” said Jane Philpott, minister of health. “These new Regulations will further strengthen safety requirements for cribs,

cradles and bassinets, and better protect infants and young children.”

While traditional dropside cribs are mostly unavailable in the Canadian marketplace, they may still be found as remaining inventory in some new and second hand stores and at garage sales. The new CCBR also introduce new requirements and test methods for accessories and stands that are used with cribs, cradles and bassinets.

The new Regulations will replace the current

CCBR to strengthen the requirements for these sleep products.

“Choosing the right crib, cradle or bassinet is one of the most important decisions you can make to ensure your baby sleeps safely,” said Louise Logan, president and CEO of Parachute. “The new regulations further strengthen Canada’s requirements for these products, giving parents and caregivers additional assurance of the quality of children’s products available on the market.”

Multi-channel indigenous performance art on Six Nations

By TRT Staff Ho-lah! That’s a lot of words to describe an art project meant to reflect the voices of our territories. Creating news ways to reflect that voice has been the focus of creative duo Jackson Two Bears (Mohawk) and Janet Rogers (Mohawk/Tuscarora) during their return home to Six Nations June 27July 8 2016.

Using the newly opened Secord House as a homebase and inspiration for some of their performance/media work, Jackson and Janet used

the notion of messages, like the important, and destiny-changing message Laura Secord herself carried to the British and Haudenosaunee allies which played a big role in winning the War of 1812.

Rogers, a poet, spoken word and performance artist and host of Native Waves Radio, works with voice, sound and audio textures in everything she creates. So it made sense to find voice on the land, listen to voice on the land and develop ways to represent “word and sound messages.”

Jackson Two Bears

worked outside his comfort zone as a video mashup artist to build on his beg inner-k nowledge with multi-channel media and video mapping practices.

Using three projectors and multiple sound sources, Jackson uses a video mapping program to reflect footage he shot of Janet interacting on site specific grounds such as the Mohawk Institute, Chiefswood National Historic Site and the Secord House on 4th Line in Ohsweken.

Together they produced pseudo ceremony

intended to transform, not only energies within the sites but which transformed and deepened their own relationships with the territories.

Never underestimate the power of the arts. As the team can testify from their experience of walking through the Mohawk Institute, locally known

as “the Mush Hole”, residential school and finding what they described as shockingly disturbing energies, transitioned to warmth and light after they laid tobacco bundles and read children’s stories aloud in the basement, along with images of Jackson’s and Janet’s family members project-

By Danielle Boisseneau

Paddlers from across Ontario canoeing to Garden River for Great Lakes Gathering Two separate water journeys have converged on route to Garden River, Ontario for a historical event that calls together “all members of the Anishnaabe nations, including Ojibwe, Odawa, and Pottawatomi peoples and the Metis all around the Great Lakes.” The Gathering intends to “gather, compile and share information regarding the health of our waters and make collective decisions as to what needs to be done to protect them.”

The Water Keepers Journey is a group of Indigenous women who are traveling 458 kilometres from Lake Wahnipitae near Sudbury, Ont. They have paddled between 20 to 30 kilometres a day.

They are inspired by the Gathering’s intent and purpose and that is to remember how sacred water is.

“People … from different territories can paddle with them for a few days.

[It is] just to keep everyone together and build relationships with our communities along the way,” said Dakota Recollet, the group’s spokesperson.

On July 9, 2016, the Water Keepers Journey met up with Nibi Onji Canoe Journey. Edward E. George’s month long journey started at Kettle and Stoney Point First Nation, near Sarnia, Ont. “My approach isn’t really to be an activist but it is to raise awareness. The biggest part of this is an inquiry into what more do we do for the water. What can I do?” said George.

George has been greatly inspired by Josephine Mandamin who walked the shorelines of all five Great Lakes. Mandamin’s dedication has led George’s decision to eat a mostly traditional diet, includ-

TWO ROW TIMES

ing wild rice and dried meats. “There is one thing [Mandamin] says which is ‘in this work that we do, there is no such thing as try. Either you do it or you don’t.’” said George. “Every day that is what I’m faced with.”

“If I was to ask people for help, it would be to ask them to pray for the water and to give a moment of your time to think about the water. We are so blessed to the point that we don’t even realize it.”

George said.

After converging with the Water Keepers Journey, the group of youth paddlers took a break to attend the Assembly of First Nations Youth Summit to raise awareness about the water. At this time, they also met up with the Youth Walk of Hope, a group of young men walking to raise awareness of the suicide epidemic in Attawapiskat.

Father and son teach trust and respect to youth through horsemanship The Eagle Brothers Ranch is located 45 minutes north east of Regina, Sask.

It is here in the Qu’Appelle Valley that Kamao Cappo and his son, Haydar have worked with youth for more than a decade. Cappo runs two horse programs including the Spirit Horse Camp and Rockridge Riders, which is a free horse riding program that Cappo started 13 years ago for youth from Muscowpetung Saulteaux First Nation.

Both father and son believe that it is important to pass on knowledge. It is through youth participation that horse therapy programming helps to raise their self-esteem and confidence. “With the Spirit Horse Project, it is a little more in depth,” said Kamao. “We have an elder on site and it’s a little bit more focused on healing and respect for horses and their therapeutic value.”

The first thing that they

teach is how to respect the horses and also, themselves. “I always say that there is a circle around horses. It’s like the horse’s sacred circle and when they are in that circle, they have to be respectful at all times and be careful of that horse. I tell them they have their own circle around themselves and how they have to be respectful of themselves,” Cappo said.

Haydar Cappo teaches riding techniques, like how to approach a horse.

He says it’s all about building trust, it takes time and patience to build relationships with horses. Until the riders feel comfortable, Haydar will lead the horses. Both father and son know how interconnected man and animal are. “If a person has trust issues, it will reflect while they are around the horse. Sometimes they can be in a place where they feel weak or powerless and they have to be able to trust that the horse is not going to hurt them.” Because horses can sense mood, the handler must feel safe. They also engage the help of Dawsin, who is a tiny horse that is always ready to help build trust.

Eagle Brothers Ranch provides inner city youth with opportunities to interact with horses. “These children are the most important of all,” said Cappo.

“These kids are the ones who need it the most and if we can help in that, then we have done something.”

Saskatoon Police get addresses mixed up and brutalize indigenous man

Dion LaDouceur Waniandy is a 48-year-old man that volunteers at a local radio station in Saskatoon, Sask. On June 29, 2016, Waniandy was in his small apartment when four police officers barged in and used aggressive force and tasered his spine. However, Waniandy was not the man they were looking for.

Now he suffers from shoulder and back pain as a re-

sult of the attack.

“I wasn’t the guy they were looking for; they knew that at the end. Even after they were told twice.

It was Dion in here twice.

Even after the guy they were looking for shows up in the hallway, I still got tasered,” said Waniandy. He filed a complaint.

Saskatoon Police Department admits they made a mistake. Apparently, they were given the wrong address; however, Waniandy was still taken into custody and charged for assault on a police officer and uttering threats.

It could have de-escalated but the experience has since left Waniandy sleepless and lacking trust in the police. He feels that racism was a factor in the incident. “It really changes you. These guys are supposed to be the ones protecting you and taking care of you. This wasn’t taking care of me,” he said.

and it’s been very difficult to grieve and allow our spirits to heal from this.

We can’t have a funeral because we don’t have all of her, which is extremely hard to deal with,” said English’s cousin Braelion English. “It’s a consistent thing in our aboriginal communities that women go missing and nothing is really done about it.”

The effects of intergenerational trauma are lived through the legacy of psychological and social damage. English has lost two family members to murder and three to suicide. “I want a future where I don’t have to worry about my family being killed.”

During the bail hearing, Weise told the judge, “I’m not a bad guy.”

“Imagine hearing this about your own child and knowing that this man is going to be allowed these rights and [her mother] can’t even see her daughter anymore.” Weise is set to return to court August 16, 2016.

From July 7 to 14, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs will be hosting the “Road to Niagara”. It’s led

by Manitoba Grand Chief Derek Nepinak, who will be riding his motorcycle, amongst other riders and a caravan of buses and cars, to Niagara Falls to participate in the Assembly of

First Nations Annual General Assembly.

It is here that Nepinak will remind the Canadian government of the new “political will” that has entered the national discussion around Indigenous sovereignty. This includes a renewed nation to nation relationship, new fiscal relationship, the need to implement all 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Ride to Niagara seeks to acknowledge and affirm Indigenous sovereignty.

Joan Jack, one of the riders, says that she is taking part in the Ride to Niagara to bring awareness of the misogyny of the Indian Act and to inspire Indigenous women to become leaders.

“Many of our communities are still stuck in chauvinistic views of a woman’s place and a woman’s role and I’m just here to say that that’s just BS.” According to Jack, the Indian Act is “legalized misogyny.”

At the AFN Annual General Assembly, Chief Nepinak will be meeting with federal cabinet ministers to talk about treaty relationships. “We need to wake up from some of these false myths and narratives we’ve been carrying with respect to the Indian Act and really focus on what a treaty based relationship is all about.”

U-19 I-Nats fueled by Six Nations talent

By Jim Windle

COQUITLAM B.C. – The 2016 U-19 Iroquois Nationals faced their toughest opponent Monday night in Coquitlam at the FIL U-19 World Lacrosse Tournament being hosted in Coquitlam B.C., this and next week.

After demolishing England 22-4 in their opening game, the I-Nats put up a strong effort against Team Canada but could not hold the lead and lost 12-9 to last U-19 Worlds silver medalists.

Things did not get any easier for the Iroquois Monday when they took on last tournament Gold Medalists, Team USA. Team USA was too much for the Nationals who lost to the powerful Americans 17-3. After scoring all three of their goals in the first quarter, the I-Nats were shut out the rest of the way and are now one win and two losses.

As of Tuesday morning, Austin Staats leads the I-Nats with 10 goals and five assists followed by Tahoka Nanticoke with 10 goals and three assists.

The Nationals will

Six Nations of the Grand River talent, Tehoke Nanticoke and teammate Austin Staats are carrying the Iroquois Nationals at the FIL U-19 World Tournament being played in Coquitlam BC. Each have 15 points in the three games played so far, accounting for 20 of 34 goals scored by Iroquois. Of all the championship talent centred at Six Nations of the Grand River, many have wondered why more firepower was not selected for this year's tournament from that talent pool. SUPPLIED PHOTO closed out the preliminary round against Australia Tuesday night and missed our deadline. The Australian’s record is also 1-2 going into Tuesday night’s game.

It took a strong fourth quarter surge from Team Canada to earn a 12-9 win over the Iroquois Nationals Friday. The game had to move to two other fields before finishing — one did not have enough working lights to safely light the

field and the other had a timer go off and caused a delay of almost an hour before play could safely resume, breaking the I-Nats momentum.

The Nationals were coming off a 22-4 drubbing of England in their tournament opener, Friday, but found a much tougher opponent in their second game, matched up against Team Canada.

Sunday, Six Nations selections Austin Staats and

Tehoka Nanticoke combined for the first three I-Nats goals in a 3-3 first quarter.

The Nationals led Canada 6-5 at the half with Staats picking up his third of the contest and Nanticoke adding his second both on powerplays. Also scoring for the I-Nats was Matthew Bennett.

Canada is being led by Jeff Teat who has seven goals and seven assists in three games played to

date.

Teat opened the second half with a pair of unassisted goals before Nanticoke nailed his third and fourth of the game before the quarter ended with Canada and the Nationals tied at 8-8.

Nanticoke opened the fourth quarter with his fifth of the game to take a 9-8 lead, but Canada owned the final quarter outscoring the Iroquois 4-1 for the 12-9 final score.

Staats recorded three goals and an assist in the loss.

Canadian head coach Taylor Wray was full of compliments for the skill level of the I-Nat’s players.

"It was a really hard fought game. There are some unbelievable players on both teams," Wray said.

"Their guys made some pretty incredible plays tonight, almost indefensible plays. You've got guys draped all over them, and they make great catches, turn and spin and shoot. I mean, I don't know what to tell our guys to stop that.

They have some great players."

Friday Nanticoke lead the Iroquois Nationals

Ineligible player ruling costs Arrows first place

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The use of an ineligible player cost the defending Minto Cup champions their first place finish in the Jr. A regular season standings.

A similar situation cost the Sr. B Rivermen a game as well.

Although Junior A league commissioner Dean McLeod believes the Arrows did not intentionally do anything wrong, rules are rules and the Arrows had to forfeit four wins.

“There will be the perception that the Arrows cheated, but they did not,”

McLeod said of the incident, adding, “It was the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my position.”

McLeod blamed a “lack of transparency” on the part of the Jr. B London Blue Devils, which bled through to the Jr. A ranks.

The Jr. A Arrows called up Oliver Bolsterli from the London Blue Devils of the Jr. B’s. As an unaffiliated player, he was allowed by league rules to play as an unaffiliated player in a maximum of seven games, which he did early in the season.

He did not score in any of those games in which the Arrows won five and lost

two.

The trouble is, Bolsterli was not a registered play-

er with London at all until after their dismal 0-20 season ended. That meant the Arrows were dressing an unregistered player and didn’t know it. And even then, London only did so for the purpose of releasing him and to get the transfer fee from the Six Nations Rebels.

Because he actually was registered by the time he last suited up, that game was not taken away and so they forfeited four instead of five games.

The ripple effect was league wide and changed the final standings and playoff matchups.

The forfeits allowed the Orangeville Northmen to vault past the Arrows and take first place with a 15-5 record.

The forfeits reduced the Arrows first-place regular season record of 18-2-0 to second place 14-6-0.

It shakes out this way — the two points KW gain from their forfeit win against Six Nations broke a seventh place tie with the St. Catharines Athletics as the teams fight for the final playoff spots.

The ruling also put Peterborough back into playoff picture. With

their two forfeit points, they are 6-13, putting them a single point behind the Athletics. The Lakers could jump into eighth spot.

The Arrows has appealed the ruling and McLeod says an OLA appeal board will be convened early next week so that the matter can be dealt with by the time the regular season ends next Wednesday. Playoffs will start after the world U19 field lacrosse championships in British Columbia wrap up on July 17.

Chiefs earn three of four points this week

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Friday night in Oakville, the Six Nations Chiefs and the Rock battled to an 8-8 overtime tie. Earlier in the week, on Tuesday July 5, at the ILA, the Chiefs took down the Brooklin Redmen 10-7.

Friday night in Oakville Jordan Durston and a three-goal third period barrage by Craig Point sent the teams to OT where nothing was decided and resulting in each team taking a point. Respective goalies Dillon Ward and Zack Higgins shared the tie.

It was a tightly played game with both defensive squads doing yeoman work for the most part.

Jeremy Nobal and Cody Jamieson accounted for the 1-1 first period score. The Rock seemed to surprise the Chiefs in the second period with the first three goals to take a 4-1 lead before Dave Brock and Vaughn Harris chimed in to draw the Chiefs to within one goal of the Rock after 40 minutes of play.

As in the second period, Oakville took the early momentum in the third scoring the first three goals of the period, one on a powerplay and two unassisted. Down 7-3, Chiefs’ Craig Point took over scoring three back-to-back goals in quick succession to

Oakville’s Challen Rogers scored at 2:14 of OT but Harris countered to tie it again at 8-8, which is how it would end.

Results from Tuesday, July 12 against the Peterborough Lakers at the ILA will miss our deadline. It was an important game for both teams as the Lakers sit in first place only three points ahead of the Chiefs.

Wednesday, July 13, the Chiefs are in Brooklin to

face the top seeded Redmen. Next Tuesday, July 19,

the Rock and the Chiefs do battle again at the ILA be-

ginning at 8 p.m.

There was a lot of scoring in the first period as both teams came out on fire. After Johnny Powless opened the scoring at 3:56, Oakville responded with the next three goals to take a 3-1 lead by the halfway mark in the period.

The Chiefs ended the frame with a five-goal string scored by Cody Jamieson with two, Johnny Powless, Randy Staats and Jordan Durston to take a 6-3 first period lead.

Craig Point made it 7-3 to start the middle frame, but Brooklin earned some success as well and by the end of the second, it was 9-6 for the Chiefs. Vaughn Harris and Dan Dawson also added second period goals for Six Nations.

Harris also scored in the third as did Shayne Jackson for the Rock, but Six Nations held on for the win.

Sr. B Rivermen close season on wrong foot

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen and the Brooklin Merchants went to the wire Sunday with the Rivermen one win away from tying first place Brooklin to close out the regular season schedule.

An unfortunate last season slump and a one game forfeit prevented that from happening.

The forfeit involved the use of what the league deems an ineligible player a game played June 18th whipping out a 20-6. Coach Stew Monture has another opinion on the matter.

When asked about the incident in question, Sr. B Commissioner Sharon McKeachnie said, “This information is between the Sr. B teams and myself. If someone from the Rivermen would like to comment on this, by all means.

I will not give out information on my teams except to the OLA.” As of press time the Rivermen have not made a statement about the ruling other than to say, they do not think they did anything wrong. An official media release explaining the situation from a Rivermen perspective is expected next week.

Sunday afternoon at the Gaylord Powless Arena, by the admission of coach Stew Monture, his team was not in the right mental state to win either game. Although Saturday’s 9-8 loss was much closer than Sundays 14-10 showing, the results were the same and Monture didn’t like watching that happen heading into the playoffs.

“It’s normal for a team to go on the skids at some point in the season,” he said after Sunday’s game.

we showed the last two games. We are hoping Six Nations’ little mini-skid would give the playoff opposition a false sense of security.”

Although a bit disappointed about how they ended the regular season, Monture is not concerned about the defending Presidents Cup champion Rivermen moving forward.

“We’re still confident,” he said. “We know what we got in the dressing room.”

Even so, Monture knows what needs to change. He admits that the Merchants beat the Rivermen by using an old tried and true method from the “How to Beat a Six Nations Team” playbook — get ‘em mad and they will forget about lacrosse — and that is exactly what Brooklin did.

There were 45 minutes in penalties assessed in the first period alone, which in one way or another contributed to a 4-1 Brooklin lead and caused the Rivermen to lose focus.

The Rivermen found their scoring range in the second period with two goals scored by Tom Montour plus additional scoring from Roger Vyse, Jacob Bomberry, Rodd Squire Jr., and Stu Hill. Unfortunately, starting goalie, Grant Crawley was not having his best day. At least three of the Merchant goals were scored due to bad bounces and mishandled rebounds.

He was replaced by Quin-

ton Martin after the 6-2 goal. The Merchants kept going and built a substantial 11-7 lead heading into the third period.

There was a delay in the game after a multi-player pushing match broke out in front of the Merchants’ bench. When the smoke cleared, Rodd Squire was without a stick, accusing the Merchants of taking it during the melee. Squire went so far as to leave the floor and go into the Merchant’s dressing room to find it, followed by several members of the Brooklin team. The stick turned up under the Rivermen’s bench and the game continued.

The night before, the Rivermen barely missed the opportunity to draw even with the Merchants losing a heartbreaker with two seconds remaining.

They were two seconds from going into overtime when the Brooklin Merchants’ Chris Attwood scored on Grant Crawley to take the two-point win, Saturday night at the Luther Vipond Arena.

Saturday night, the Rivermen had a slow start while the Merchants were on track and ready to go from the opening faceoff.

As a result, Brooklin took an early 4-0 lead including two powerplay goals and a shorthander.

Cory Bomberry stopped the bleeding with a Six Nations powerplay goal at

6:58, and after Brandon Staal added another for Brooklin, Oakley Thomas, Roger Vyse and Bomberry — with his second of the period — closed the gap, but they were still down 6-4 following a late period Brooklin goal.

Bomberry scored again at 45 seconds of the second period, but Brooklin kept the pressure on and by the end of the second period the Rivermen were down 11-8. That became 12-8 at 3:45 of the third, thanks to Matt Spanger’s unassisted marker.

The Rivermen dug deep and came up with goals by Todd Blaxom playing in his first game as a Riverman.

Stu Hill, Vyse, and Dwayne Porter followed and it was a new game, with 12 seconds remaining in regulation time, and overtime looming big on the horizon. The Chiefs could not control the ball after the ensuing faceoff and Chris Attwood put the knife in the back of the Rivermen with two seconds remaining, for the Brooklin win.

Newcomer Todd Blaxom scored two and assisted on three in his inaugural game with the Rivermen.

Cory Bomberry ended the night with three goals and a pair of assists.

The Rivermen will now sit out the first round of playoffs while an opponent is determined in the first round.

Warriors oust Oakville Buzz in three games in Jr. C action

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – With six goals and an assist, Layne Smith almost single-handedly eliminated the Oakville Buzz in the rubber match of the best of three series in Jr. C lacrosse action played at the Caledonia Arena Friday night.

On July 5, they won Game 1 of the series with Oakville by the score of 17-14, but lost Game 2, 9-8, in Oakville, July 7.

The Warriors simply outlasted the Buzz with a methodical and focused 10-6 win.

After spotting Oakville the first goal of the game, Vern Hill got things started for the Warriors.

Smith started his scoring binge 21 seconds later to quickly take a 2-1 lead.

“I felt pretty good out there tonight,” said Smith after the game in a gross understatement. Smith has also served time this season with the Rebels Jr.

His performance at the B level has also been good when called upon. He has 16 goals and five assists as a Rebel so far this season.

The Buzz tied it at

2-2 which Wes Whitlow countered a minute later giving the lead back to Six Nations.

Smith put in his second with just under four minutes remaining in the first period to take a 4-2,

two-goal lead.

Oakville got the last goal of the period to close the gap but Six Nations held a narrow 4-3 lead after the first period, and for that they can thank goalie Nick Martin who

played a whale of a game.

Oakville evened it up at 4-4 early in the second period but that didn’t stand long as Smith powered a screen shoot past Evan Mason in the Oakville net to once again take the lead.

The Buzz were not going down without a darn good fight and once again tied the game at 5-5, and once again Smith was there to take the lead right back after taking a perfect lead pass from Vern Hill, ducking under a check an going high on Mason.

The determined Buzz kept coming and tied it up again, at 6-6. Smith took charge again with his fifth of the game with a rocker from the high slot.

Vern Hill broke the will of the Buzz with a sweet little snap shot with five seconds remaining in the second.

As good as Martin was through the first two frames, he turned his

game up to an even higher level in the third, turning aside Oakville chances time after time to shut them out of the final 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, Layne Smith wasn’t quite finished and scored his sixth of the game to make it a 9-6 game and capped the night off with an assist on Daniel Henhawks 10-6 goal.

his right side and scored.

This seemed to wake up spectators, as they were brought to the edges of their seats once again.

In worry that the Rebels would face another loss, a lot of cheering and encouragement could be heard throughout the stands. And in the last quarter of the game, the Rebels pulled together with Brandon Petter winning a break away and an unassisted goal. After the loud response, Miller scored his second to finally bring the Rebels into the lead 6-5.

But, the Rebs were still in threat of the Northmen tying again as the Northmen earned possession and called for a time out with only a minute left in the period. The Northmen fought hard to get an inside shot, but Stacey had learned from the previous goal on his right side and deflected the ball with his foot.

Now, with only seconds remaining, the Rebels called for a time out. This led to both teams pulling their goalies – a sight

not many have seen in lacrosse – and the Rebels spacing themselves out.

But, even with six players the Northmen seemed to think they needed two on the ball, and moved to double-man Miller.

Miller simply passed it to wide-open King who scored his second goal on their empty net. It was an amazing display of control and finesse.

Rebels staff would also like to send out the word that admission prices will be $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for children for Friday's 8 p.m. home game this week at the ILA versus Orangeville. Come help fill the house and support!

Six Nations Rebs: Home Win vs. Orangeville

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – After a taking a loss to the Orangeville Northmen last Thursday 7-4, the Six Nations Rebels outplayed the Northmen 7-5 on Sunday, July 10 after a majorly close game.

With a loud crowd and a lot of determination, the Rebels started out the first period with a goal in the first 40 seconds by Captain Danton Miller.

This set a quick pace for the rest of the period; but it only took another two minutes for the Northmen to return the goal.

This tied the game and brought out the worst in the Northmen's defence, racking up two penalties just minutes apart. However, Chayton King received a pass from Justin Martin, from Kevin Owen Hill, and broke the tie with a quick shot before the end of the period.

The second period started a long battle for possession, with shots taken from the outside for both teams as both defences worked hard to

Finally, in the middle of the second period the silence was broken by Jeremy Bomberry after a quick pass from Shane Henry allowed him to make a swift break to the net and a bottom corner goal. This left the score board silent for a while, but with only a minute left in the period, Travis Longboat did a surprise

cut in front of the crease and scored with a side arm.

The Northmen did take advantage of an opportunity and scored one more, but it wasn't expected that they would catch up again. This caused a lot of spectators to relax with the score being in the Rebels favour 4-2, but from the floor viewpoint, it was easy to tell that the

Northmen coaches were ready to tell their team to work in the third.

This came to fruition, as in the first bouts of the third period the Northmen quickly broke off of the draw and scored two goals unassisted only minutes a part. This tied the game 4-4, but with a shot of luck the Northmen shot passed Rebels Goalie Tiger Stacey on

My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling. Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.
