Dakota Access Pipeline crews destroy tribal history

By Nahnda Garlow

STANDING ROCK SIOUX NATIONS, N.D. — Just one day after informing courts on the location of sacred Lakota sites, construction crews for the Dakota Access Pipeline bulldozed through the area Saturday, causing a disruption.

In dramatic images and videos posted to social media, land defenders were shown running to stop the destruction but were met by private security with helicopters flying above, armed with attack dogs, and sprayed with mace and tear gas.

Witnesses said construction workers picked up their construction equipment and moved it nearly twenty miles west of the original area being dug up — right where the tribe identified significant cultural sites just one day before.

Six people including a pregnant woman and child, and a horse were attacked and bitten by the dogs.

Tribal Chairman David Archambault called the demolition “devastating” and said, “in one day the tribe's sacred land has been turned into hollow

The demolished path stretches 150 feet wide for about two miles northwest of the Missouri River.

Lawyer for the tribe says demolishing sacred sites recently identified in court is outrageous — noting pipeline workers took action on a holiday weekend just days before a court ruling on the case.

The Standing Rock Sioux Nation filed an emergency request Sunday for a temporary restraining order against the Dakota Access

Pipeline.

The matter went before the U.S. District Courts Tuesday afternoon and granted just half of the protection orders the tribe was requesting.

Judge James E. Boasberg wrote, “In response to the tribe's emergency request to halt machines destroying recently identified sacred sites: the Court orders that no construction activity on the DAPL may take place between Highway 1806 and 20 miles to the east of Lake Oahe. Construction activity to the west of Highway 1806 may proceed.”

Archambault posted a live video to the Tribe’s Facebook page and said he was disappointed in the courts decision and says it puts sacred sites at risk for “continued ruin and desecrating what is important to us.”

A United States Vietnam

veteran by the name of ‘A.P.’ appeared in the video with Archambault to express his solidarity.

“We stand here in solidarity,” said A.P.. “I spent a year in Vietnam as a grunt as a point man. And if i did that for the United States people — I would do that for my people here, my relatives here. I wouldn’t even think once. That’s how dedicated all of these people, men and women, all of these.

“We don’t come here to do wrong we come here to do right by our brothers, sisters, and we’ll stay here until we get it,” said A.P..

Archambault said despite Tuesday’s ruling, the people should remain peaceful and respectful.

“Even after this partial win — partial loss — we know they’re not going to do anything east of the Highway 1806, which isn’t much. The lands that we

were hoping to protect were on the west side of 1806. I ask that we refrain from using violence. I ask that we refrain from verbal abuse or physical abuse on anyone and I ask that from both sides.”

“The situation that happened this past Saturday was provoked by the company,” said Archambault.

“I hope that as we move forward that everybody remains calm and in peace.

It’s not over we still have a long ways to go. I’m very appreciative of everyone here.”

In a statement earlier this week, Chairman for the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Alvaro Pop Ac, called on the U.S. to provide the tribe a ``fair, independent, impartial, open and transparent process to resolve this serious issue and to avoid escalation into violence and further human rights abuses.''

Dalee Dorough, an Inuit member of the forum, which provides representation at the world body for indigenous peoples around the globe, said failure to consult with Sioux over the project violated the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Article 19 of the declaration, which the U.S. endorsed in 2010, says: ``States shall consult and co-operate in good faith with the indigenous peoples concerned in order to obtain their free, prior and informed consent before adopting and implementing legislative or administrative measures that may

affect them.'' ``There has been a lack of good faith consultation with the indigenous people who will more than likely be impacted,'' Dorough said in telephone interview from Anchorage Alaska. ``The U.N. declaration is fundamental because President Obama pronounced support for it and that they haven't been consulted consistent with the rights of that declaration is highly problematic.’'

Last week, supporters at the three camps established to halt the pipeline were estimated to number near 4000.

A judge is set to rule on the fate of the pipeline by September 9th. -with CP files

Professor tells new version of Hagersville history

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The official whitewashed history of the beginning of the village of Hagersville declares, “Upon the construction of Highway 6, known formerly as the Plank Road, a small village popped up around 1855 when Charles and David Hager bought most of the land in the centre of the area.”

According to Margaret Clause on the History of Hagersville website, using notes from the Don Brown’s book, Down Memory Lane, David Almas owned the land on the east side of the road, while John Porter owned the land in the West End.” The story then talks about the development of

hotels and businesses and eventually registering the community as Hagersville, in honour of the Hager brothers.

Unfortunately, all of that is not entirely true.

Sidney L. Harring is Professor Emeritus, earning his B.A. from Macalester College and his M.S., J.D., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. Besides teaching undergraduate sociology and law, he has done extensive research and scholarship on juries, police, American Indians, and the social history of law.

In his book White Man’s Law, published by the Osgoode Law Society, he offers a more accurate picture of interactions between Six Nations

and settlers in the early 1800s.

According to Harring, an Onondaga woman named Mary Martin lived by herself on the land where the town of Hagersville now stands. She approached James Hager to work her land for her. A five-year term agreement was worked out between the parties on shares. The Hagers would take two thirds of the profit from the produce grown on her land, and she would retain one third. Unfortunately, the Hagers took advantage of the woman who could barely speak English and swung the deal on a hand shake, without the advice or approval of the Hereditary Chiefs.

Since land is traditionally community owned,

this arrangement was not allowed. Besides, the Chiefs already knew about the Hagers with whom they had negative dealings regarding other land theft attempts.

Sometimes, just for fun, the Hagers and his buddies would get drunk and ride to what is now Middleport and disrupt ceremonies at the longhouse which once stood at that site.

When the Chiefs found out about the deal, they ordered Martin to break it off. The Hagers refused and played the Upper Canada legal system well.

The only avenue for any Onkwehon:weh with aught against a white settler was the Settler-Canadian court, which they knew nothing about.

Without a contract, coupled with white man’s law slanted heavily in the settler’s favour, Martin’s complaint was over ruled and the Hagers got her land.

A group of Onondaga men took matters into their own hands and caught one of the Hagers, beating him with axe handles and leaving him for dead. Hager recovered and pressed charges. In the settlement, he was given Martin’s land.

Sidney L. Harring’s book, White Man's Law: Native People in Nineteenth Century Canadian Jurisprudence, was a finalist for the Donner Prize as the best book on Canadian public policy published in 1998. During the course of his career,

he has received three Fellowships in Legal History from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a Fulbright Fellowship, and was a Rockefeller Fellow at the McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian. He has also been awarded numerous research grants to study issues of criminal justice, Native Americans in the U.S. and Canada.

Sidney L. Harring also served as Visiting Professor of Law at West Virginia University College of Law in 2001. The author of more than 80 articles, chapters, and book reviews on such subjects as American and British colonial history, Native American law, indigenous rights, and criminal law.

“Mohawks on the Nile” interesting point in history

By Jim Windle

KAHNAWAKE – Britain’s colonial efforts were certainly not focused entirely on the inhabitants of the Americas in the 1880s.

They had issues they were dealing with in other parts of the world as well.

There was unrest in South Africa in those days, and in a bizarre twist of fate, the British Crown called upon the Haudenosaunee, Ojibwe and Metis boatsmen for help in navigating the Nile River to evacuate British soldiers and civilians from Khartoum, Sudan.

The plan was to bring in experienced rivermen to guide 5,000 British troops down the Nile rapids to Khartoum. For this, Britain turned to Canada seeking Voyeurs and canoe-handy Indian allies, 56 of which were Mohawks of Kahnawake, a word which means “at the rapids”.

According to a Historical Overview for the Canadian Military Heritage

An illustration depicting the Canadian-led expedition into the Nile River which included some 56 Mohawks from Kahnawake.

Project, written by Lorine McGinnis Schulze; “The River Column left Korti on the Nile, December 1884, to traverse the rapids and advance south into the Sudan to relieve Gen. Gordon in Khartoum, who was being attacked by the forces of the Mahdi. General Lord Garnet Wolseley needed men who could overcome the Nile's cataracts as they moved upriver.

General Lord Garnet Wolseley's group of 392 Canadian boatmen — the Nile Voyageurs — 56 of

whom were Kanienkeha:ka (Mohawk), mostly from the Kahnawake band in Quebec, and 30 of whom were Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) from Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Chief Louis Jackson of Kahnawake recommended the design for the whaler-boats that were used on the voyage and became a river foreman.”

It is pointed out by Kahnawake author Joe Jacobs M.D., in his book “Mohawks on the Nile - Journey of the Warrior Spirit,” he refers to another book

written by Chief Jackson and published in 1885, where he proudly recognizes that even the native Egyptian boats men who have navigated the Nile for untold generations, were not up to the task set before them.

In the 1880s followers of the Muslim cleric Mohammed Ahmed, known as the Mahdi, insisted, under penalty of death, that their extremist take in Islam be adopted by everyone in Sudan. Those unwilling were to be put to death.

Khartoum had a diverse population of British and local sects and became the last stronghold for those resistant to the Mahdi.

That was the background to the evacuation attempt at Khartoum. The urgency was that there was a very large army of Mahdi moving towards Khartoum with a mission of religious assimilation or death to those who refuse.

As it turned out, political sluggishness, the logistics of recruitment of river men and the transport of

men and equipment from Canada to Egypt, plus the 19,000 kilometre expedition, took too long and the expedition failed.

The British soldiers and around 4,000 civilians they were sent to rescue had already been killed, two days before the rescuers were to reach Khartoum. With the mission abandoned, they had to retrace their steps up the Nile, traversing the same rapids and braving the same 16 foot, 500 lb. Nile Crocodiles they had battled earlier, all the way back to Egypt.

Research more about this little known piece if military history became known as the Nile Expedition.

Half of Ontario Grade 6 students fails to meet math standard The Canadian Press

TORONTO – Half of all Grade 6 students in Ontario did not meet the provincial math standard this year, continuing a steady decline in test scores over the past seven years.

Standardized test results for elementary school students released Wednesday by the province's Education Quality and Accountability Office show that while reading results are improving, math results are getting worse.

It echoes some national findings, as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has found that math scores for 15 year olds in Canada have “significantly declined” between 2003 and 2012, though Ontario fares relatively well when compared to other provinces.

Math educators have been engaged in ongoing debates on whether students benefit more from rote learning or a more discovery-based, problem solving approach.

This year in Ontario only 50 per cent of Grade 6 students met the math standard, compared to 58 per cent in 2012. The

Grade 3 math results showed a decline too, with 63 per cent of students meeting the provincial standard, compared to 68 per cent in 2012.

In the past 10 years the highest percentage of Grade 6 students meeting the standard was 63 in the 2008 to 2009 school year, while for Grade 3 students it was 71 per cent in 2009 to 2010. The scores have steadily fallen since then.

The EQAO said that 21 per cent of students who met the standard in Grade 3, failed to do so in Grade 6. And just four per cent of students who didn't meet the math standard in Grade 3 were able to achieve it as Grade 6 students.

Education Minister Mitzie Hunter was not available for interviews Wednesday, but released a statement touting a new math strategy that is being introduced this school year. “[It] will provide improved access to online math resources such as Homework Help or SOS Devoir, dedicated math leads in every elementary school, professional learning for educators and school leaders, and providing students with

better supports outside of the school day such as tutoring and summer 'reach-ahead' opportunities,” she wrote.

“Improving student success remains our highest priority, and we are committed to ensuring that all students achieve their full potential.”

The $60-million plan puts an average of 60 minutes per day of “protected math learning time” in the curriculum for Grades 1 through 8. It also designates up to three “math lead teachers” in all elementary schools and a dedicated math professional development day.

The EQAO's CEO said he is hopeful the new strategy “will start turning these math trends around.”

Grade 9 math results were steady compared to 2012, with 83 per cent of those in the academic math course meeting the standard and 45 per cent in the applied course meeting it. The government noted that the applied math scores have significantly improved since 2003, when 21 per cent of the students were meeting the standard.

Meanwhile, students fared better on the read-

ing tests, with 72 per cent of Grade 3 students meeting the standard, up

from 66 per cent in 2012, and 81 per cent of Grade 6 students met the stan-

dard, up from 75 per cent in 2012.

Sports: a benign form of warfare The thrill of victory and agony of defeat brings out both the best and the worst in people, be they players, fans or parent. We are so easily lured into a trancelike state where the team or sports stars we follow can become gods or bums, depending on the outcome of a specific match or a season.

At many high profile sporting events you will see university professors, doctors, lawyers, corporate leaders and Joe Schmo sitting beside each other with painted faces, goofy hats, growling like animals and screaming like banshees, without shame or judgment.

“Oh, but it’s only a game.” Anyone who doesn’t understand that games are games, but sports are something of a different kind, will probably not understand any of this.

The way I see it, a few guys or gals shooting hoops is to the sport of basketball what driving into work is to NASCAR. At its very basic level they are quite similar, but at the competitive level, emotions and national or civic pride play a very big role.

It’s been my observation over the years that sport, in this sense of the word, is just the most benign form of warfare. Every culture that ever existed has used physical competition and the evaluation of military prowess to get and stay in shape and always be battle ready.

This is no more evident than with the historical and spiritual beginnings of the Creator’s Game of lacrosse. Although at one time it was a much more violent sport than it is today, when I watch a lacrosse game I can see the teamwork, the individual skill and accuracy, the speed, the courage, determination and the toughness required to win on the battlefield or in the arena.

It follows that, in the heat of battle, one will use whatever weapon is available to vanquish their foe in whatever way they can. Tempers flair, trash talking and name calling is not far behind in any sporting venue. That’s why

I am always offended, but never surprised, at racist jargon on the field of battle. It’s about us and them, and them ain’t gonna win over us, no-how, no-way (I’ve also noticed how much easier it is to Jock-talk with a southern accent).

Believe me, I am not condoning any kind of racism in any circumstance, but I’m old enough to remember my father, who served along with his brothers in the Canadian military. In times of War, it is an integral part of a soldier’s training to dehumanize the enemy. It just makes it easier to kill someone you see as different or less worthy than ourselves.

As a result, growing up in the home of an ex-military man was where I was taught what my dad was taught. I had an equally inappropriate epithet for every race on earth, except of course white Canadians. I’ve since learned to weed these words out of my vocabulary, for the most part.

Back to lacrosse. This coming Mann Cup series will benign warfare. This is the highest level of amateur lacrosse there is in the world pitting the best of the East against the best of the West. The pinnacle of the sport, in my estimation and bragging rights are up for grabs.

Although a chippy, physical matchup is my personal preference when it comes to the sports I watch, I draw the line when racist slurs are batted around in the bleachers or between players.

This year the Maple Ridge B.C. Burrards come into “hostile” Six Nations territory representing their community, their province, and Canada. The Pro-fit Chiefs will be defending the pride of the game, and the community right here on home turf.

Try to tell either one of these teams, “relax, it’s just a game,” and see what it gets ya. This is so much more than a game. Be at the ILA this week to support your Pro-fit Chiefs, but watch the tongue, and try to be tolerant of others who may have a slip of the tongue. And remember, this isn’t actually war.

Disambiguation (Indigenous Identity) History is not only a University academic subject or “His Story”. History is awareness of self as an on going function of life that begins at conception. This then begins History. Being human includes the sum of all experiences. No one has the same experiences as another. Each has a life to live.

Experts do not exist, within this Worldview. Authority outside ones self is to deny that which makes us Onkwayhoway. This principle is the foundation of respecting Our Mother the Earth and sets the social context with all our relations.

The Euro-centric worldview has the opposite notion of “lawful authority”.

By the writers analysis Eurocentric worldview emerges as result of the military experience that was and is the “Indo European” cultural experience. The many crusades to “free” the Holy Land and now the “war on terrorism” are the context in which history books are written. One might also investigate a military policy of “shock and awe” in the light of intent of military aggression. The recounting of wars of conquest and genocide to establish the “rule of law” is the tale of the Indo European experience.

This chasm between the two Worldviews is the nexus of the conflict in contemporary efforts to define relations between Indigenous Onkwayhoway and the oth-

ers. The Dominion of Canada’s assimilation policy is prima facie evidence that the Dominion has a policy that identifies the irreconcilable differences between Indigenous worldview and that of the Eurocentric worldview.

Our people attempted to accomplish the respecting and honouring of Her Majesty’s Dominion by way of the “Two Row Wampum” belt treaty only to have that relationship the become the target of oppression and assimilation (“kill the Indian and save the man”). The writer suggests that there has been more “killing of the Indian” than saving of the man. The “Black Lives Matter” movement from the Indigenous Peoples perspective is a modern example of the same Dominion policy the ended the lives of whole “tribes” of Indigenous People. Media did not exist at that time to expose the genocide but it is reasonable to draw parallels to the hidden agenda of agents of the Crown from then until now.

No other visible people within Her Britannic Majesty’ Dominion of Canada are subjected to the racial and ethnic targeting as are the Onkwayhoway. The Indian Act, is the vehicle by which the genocide is accomplish within the “illusion of the rule of law”.

What was the purpose of the “Indian Acts”? The Acts provided an instrument that Her Britannic Majesty’s Court could use for the purpose of subjecting Indigenous People to the private interests. The White Man’s Burden written by Rudy-

ard Kipling speaks to the Burden of the White Man to take the task of bring the darker races to the ways of the White Man’s superior society. Rudyard does not speak to the issue that in this transition from ignorance to enlightenment as defined at that time that we the Indigenous would also and more importantly be relieved of the burden of natural resources and access to Our Way Life. These natural resources were now taken on as the White Man’s Burden. It should not be difficult to conclude that Wellbeing of the Ondwayhoway is not high on the agenda of Her Britannic Majesty’s Dominion of Canada.

The Act denied the existence of the Indigenous People. Denied access to protection of their own laws/ways of life and denied access to protection of the “laws of the Dominion”. The Dominion passes an Act to Encourage the Gradual Civilization of the Indian where in the Minister was granted plenary powers over the Indians. Reservations are established as Internment Camps/Prisoner of War Camps. Travel outside was forbidden without approval of the Indian Agent. Indians outside the Reservation without permission were considered to be hostiles/ enemies.

Does an apology return land stolen from the Indigenous People?

The ties that bind PART TWO

Taking the Great Peace to the Lakota

By Mike Myers

After about 60 days of the siege of Wounded Knee we received word at Crow Dog Camp that the battle may be ending soon and that we should prepare to leave. All together the siege lasted 71 days, the longest such event involving American and Indigenous personnel. It wasn’t until several months later that we found out why.

Again, thanks to Watergate and the Nixon tapes, the truth slowly emerged. We found out that the FBI had used the incident as an opportunity to conduct a COINTELPRO rural insurgency exercise. They had conducted urban exercises but now they had the chance to practice a rural one. What this meant was they had the opportunity to test all of their counter intelligence systems and planning under actual conditions. So for 60 or so days the feds had no intention of bringing the situation to a resolution.

It helped answer a burning question that we had been raising since the beginning of the siege and that was — if this were a spontaneous incident, born out of the frustration and anger of the Lakota people over the occupation and terror campaign being conducted at Pine Ridge, how on earth did they wake up completely surrounded by federal police and military forces along with

state, local and tribal police forces? John Mohawk had been the first to ask this question and not once did we ever get an answer from any significant source. Nor were we able to get the so-called mainstream press to raise this question.

Only when we understood that this was part of Nixon’s “we’ll get them later” strategy did we begin to see how everything had been manipulated and designed to end up in exactly this scenario. It wasn’t just about revenge for the BIA building but part of the fear and paranoia Nixon and others had of the rising civil rights, anti war and other pro democracy movements.

But the attempt to repress Indigenous movements and demands didn’t end there. It carried on in various guises for several decades including America’s refusal to endorse the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples or to release Leonard Peltier.

After we arrived home we had to report to Grand Council and our respective national councils on all that we had seen and been a part of while we were assisting the Lakota. I had the opportunity to recount my encounter with the elder at Rosebud and ask if we knew about this and what was our understanding of this piece of history.

For a few months no one seemed to remem-

ber this piece of history until we were having a discussion with Oneida elder Dennison Elijah. He listened intently and then said to us, “I think I remember something about this.”.

He went on to tell us, “This happened at the time we were bringing the Great Peace to the other nations. As I remember it we encountered those people out past the Mississippi.”

“When we met them they were led by a man who carried a spear. So when our people began telling them about the Great Peace he held that spear out in front of him and our speaker laid each wampum string on it as he finished the words.”

“When they had finished the message that man shook his spear and threw the wampum on to the ground. He told our people, ‘This spear is what we believe in, not those words!’”

“So our speaker picked up the wampums and began reciting the message again. Again that man held his spear out and the wampums were placed on it. And once again, he did the same thing.”

“So our speaker tried for the third time to get them to hear the message and once again the same thing happened.”

“This time another of people stepped forward and threw the black war wampum belt at that man’s feet and the battle

was on.”

“That old man was right, the first time we lost that battle. So we made it look like we were leaving but we left some men behind because the reason we lost is that we didn’t know that land. You guys have been out there and you know how different it is.”

“The rest of our delegation came home to get more warriors and they went back out there. Because we had left those guys behind we now understood that land and this time we won the battle.”

“So our two nations sat down and made peace between us. They were clear that they wouldn’t come and sit under the Tree of Peace but they would sit close and wouldn’t break the peace. We said that was good enough for then, as long as peace had been made.”

“So because of that we became what you could call allies. That’s more than friends. It means you help and support each other.”

Finally, I understood what was meant by “our long standing relations”.

Even though we didn’t completely know what was meant by that phrase it was still something we knew and understood from deep within ourselves as true. It was something that had become part of our genetic or blood memory.

A number of teachings

and lessons emerged from this moment in history. One that stood out in my mind was how our delegation was carrying the black war wampum belt even though they were on a mission to extend the Great Peace. At first I saw the practicality of our people. That even though they were on an important and critical mission to bring about peace they recognized the necessity that they may encounter a situation that could lead to war and they were ready for it.

Secondly, they didn’t let one setback stop them from their primary mission. They went home and gathered up more warriors and returned to complete that mission.

Accomplishing peace was of utmost importance.

Peace wasn’t a onetime spontaneous event it was and is, a process that has to be worked at even under difficult situations and conditions.

Thirdly, it wasn’t about the conquest of a nation or a people. It was about the hard struggle that sometimes occurs when one is trying to achieve a higher end or goal. Because at the end of the second battle we made sure that nothing occurred that would extinguish their “fire”.

During earlier recitations of the Great Binding Law of Peace I had heard the phrase – “and each nation continued to have their own fire”. It was ex-

My thanks to Six Nations I was hired by CLAX in the fall of 2014 to be the marketing manager of the Ohsweken Demons.

plained to me that what this meant is that each nation that chose to come and sit under the Tree of Peace maintained their own way of governance, their ceremonies, their ways. We asked only one thing of them, to promise to give up making war.

It also meant that we had to become their protector until the other nations in their region also accepted the Great Peace.

We couldn’t leave them vulnerable to attack by those who were their enemies.

What is also inherent in this responsibility is the requirement that we would do what was needed to be done to bring peace to the whole region. This meant that we worked at finding the way and creating the mechanisms that would bring about a lasting peace amongst all nations as we expanded the Great Peace.

So it’s no wonder that in 1948, the newly formed United Nations invited Haudenosaunee leaders to come to New York City to take part in the laying of the cornerstone for the new U.N. headquarters.

Someone had done some deep research to find our history and had the ability to see how we were the original Peacemakers.

This is a profound legacy and inheritance we have been gifted with.

UN: consent not given by Standing Rock for pipeline

By Nahnda Garlow

SUICIDE

NEW YORK, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A United Nations representative says the US must give the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe a fair process to resolve issues surrounding the 3.7 billion dollar Dakota Access Pipeline.

Chairman of the United Nations Permanent Forum

on Indigenous Issues, Alvara Pop Ac, said the pipeline could disturb sacred sites and impact the drinking water of 8,000 Lakota-Dakota tribal members.

The forum said the US did not acquire free, prior and informed consent with the Standing Rock Sioux Nation prior to the approval of the pipeline through

their territory, calling it a violation of the UNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

President Obama has declared support of the UNDRIP. A judge is expected to give a ruling into the future of the pipeline by September 9th.

Indspire partners with LIFT Philanthropy Partners

By TRT staff

TORONTO – Indspire is pleased to announce its partnership with LIFT Philanthropy Partners to improve education outcomes for Indigenous youth across Canada.

Indspire, an Indigenous-led registered charity that works towards enriching Canada through Indigenous education, is launching into a new period of growth within a noteworthy turning point in Canadian history. Having been recognized by LIFT Philanthropy Partners as an outstanding social purpose organization, LIFT will work with Indspire over the next three years to enhance Indspire's organizational effectiveness and expand its reach across the country.

"We are delighted with our partnership with LIFT which will enable Indspire to continue to grow and to enhance its effectiveness at this important time in Canadian history,” said Roberta Jamieson, president and chief executive officer of Indspire. “We are aware that now more than ever,

Indigenous students, educators and communities are seeking support to achieve their potential through education, a goal that Indspire's many individual, corporate and public sector partners are committed to support.”

Indspire is led by Indigenous people for Indigenous people and serves First Nation, Inuit, and Métis students in remote communities and urban centres across Canada. With the support of funding partners, Indspire disburses financial awards, delivers programs, and shares resources with the goal of closing the gap in Indigenous education.

Indspire's K-12 Institute is a virtual resource centre that serves educators, communities, and other stakeholders who are committed to improving kindergarten to Grade 12 success for Indigenous youth.

Indspire is the largest funder of Indigenous education outside the federal government. In 2015 to 16, Indspire awarded more than $12.2 million through 3,792 schol-

arships and bursaries to Indigenous students across Canada. Each year, the Indspire Awards are broadcast nationally through APTN and Global TV, celebrating the successes achieved by Indigenous people.

Using its venture philanthropy approach, LIFT will invest up to $1 million in hands-on management support, strategic funding, and pro bono business expertise from its national network of corporate partners to increase Indspire's unique capacity to make meaningful social impact in Canada.

"With Indspire, we found a partner that is committed to building better lives for Canada's Indigenous youth through improvements in education, both at the K-12 and post-secondary levels. We look forward to working with Indspire's leadership team to build upon their proven successes and support them to further expand their meaningful work across Canada,” said Bruce Dewar, president and chief executive officer of LIFT Philanthropy Partners.

Celebrate Our Sustenance and our growing Healthy Roots HEALTHY ROOTS — This month, Healthy Roots will be celebrating the harvest and the bounty of all the gardens throughout Haudenosaunee territory.

This is arguably the best time of year because foods like fresh vegetables, fruits and healthy grains are readily available and affordable.

The Our Sustenance Farmer’s Market is a ready provider for local produce each weekend on Six Nations territory.

Our Sustenance will be offering cooking class-

es and canning classes throughout the month to anyone interested as a part of this month’s features.

September 21st our Healthy Roots team is pleased to present ‘The Night Market’, which promises to be an excellent evening of fun, food and friends under the stars. Be sure to check that out and if you are interested in being a vendor give us a ring.

Most importantly, as we coast out of summer and into autumn we also want

to take time to embrace a spirit of Thanksgiving towards all the blessings the Creator has seen us through. This years crop was no doubt affected by drought conditions but still the blossoms came, the fruits grew and our tables are filled with Our Sustenance again.

So keep connected through our Healthy Roots Facebook page and in the Two Row Times as well celebrate another Harvest and our growing Healthy Roots.

HEALTHY ROOTS — Weekdays return to normal which means everyone in the family is running in different directions. That can wreak havoc on your mealtimes.

Here are some tips on how to keep your dinner simple, healthy and happy.

1. Plan Ahead. Even if you’re eating leftovers for half the week planning to cook a healthy balanced meal at least once a day can carry your family through those hectic days.

2. Keep a selection of

canned items available for quick healthy choices. Things like pickles, canned beans and even canned homemade soups make putting together a balanced meal a little easier. (Bonus: Our Sustenance will be hosting FREE canning classes this month so keep an eye out for those.)

3. Go for the smorgasbord. Cook a little bit of everything. Bits and bites.

A huge spread of raw veggies and dip, cooked beans, cut up cucumbers

and grilled meats makes dinner feel like a party.

4. Invest in a rice cooker. You can cook so many things very easily in a rice cooker, and not just white rice. Quinoa, wild rice, and even frozen veggies can cook up simply in a rice cooker. Add spices and flavour directly to the pot and in 15 minutes you’re basically done. On the low end you can find these at hardware stores for around $13.

Manitoba Hydro's Keeyask generating station is one of several dams operating in Northern Manitoba. Several First Nations and Metis people have already negotiated settlements with the province and Manitoba Hydro but for the past nine years, trapping and fishing groups have attempted to negotiate their own settlement. These talks broke down two weeks ago.

In 1960, the Grand Rapids generating station was built on the Saskatchewan River. It took more than five years to build. “This is for the land that was damaged in 1960 – 1.5 million acres of prime trapping and fishing areas when Hydro built the Grand Rapids hydro generating station,” said John Morrisseau from Grand Rapids.

The project required thousands of kilometres of land to be flooded. Because of the changed landscape, trappers and fishers have had to travel up to 150 kilometres to maintain their livelihood. Some people were unable to keep up, so they lost their ability to provide in substantial ways for themselves and their families.

The conflict remains rooted in a dispute over how many fishers are trappers are eligible for compensation.

Manitoba Hydro chooses to only compensate 59 fishers and 150 trappers but First Nations say that hundreds more were impacted and should also be eligible. According to Manitoba Hydro's spokesperson Scott Powell, it was the fishers and trappers who walked

NorOnt Resources plans to drill for nickel, copper and platinum in Northern Ontario's “Ring of Fire” region. The Ring of Fire is a mineral rich area in the James Bay lowlands, it is also the third largest wetland in the world. It covers 5000 square kilometres spanning northern Ontario. The area was renamed

by Richard Nemis after Johnny Cash's famous song when the first significant mineral deposits were found in 2007.

Despite corporate plans to drill in the area, Neskantanga Chief William Moonias said it's not going to happen. “It's offensive on our end to receive a notice that's basically telling us 'by the way we're going to be drilling,'” he said.

“They haven't asked us for our consent, they haven't engaged with us in a way that we expect, so it is very troubling.”

It remains that Ontario's Mining Act requires consultation. According to Bob Rae, former Member of Parliament and current negotiator for First Nations interests in mining projects, “It is long past the point where governments can proceed with development without the full support of First Nations.”

NorOnt's drilling projects were slated to begin at the end of August.

The president of NorOnt, Al Coutts said that there is no plan to delay the drilling. “Not all First Nation communities are aligned and see eye to eye on things,” he said. “What we've done is work closely with Marten Falls and Webequie and we recently had a group of elders from both of those communities visit the site and get comfortable with what we

TWO ROW TIMES

are doing.” Despite these divide and conquer techniques, Chief Wayne Moonias remains steadfast, writing a letter to NorOnt, telling the company it must 'cease and desist' because it doesn't have the community's consent to drill.

“You try to make the best efforts you can to communicate your activities and be clear about what you plan and live up to some of those commitments,” Coutts said.

Chief Moonias disregards Coutt's non-committal statement pointing out that NorOnt has ignored an engagement protocol and a development process that Neskantanga has in place.

“We need to get our First Nations involved in ways that they are informed decision makers,” Moonias said. “This has not occurred with this particular company.” Moonias also wonders why the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is being ignored by the federal government. “The fact that the company can just go into an area where they don't have the consent or involvement of First Nations – it is unacceptable for the government to be issuing these permits.”

Winnipeg school implements Ojibway immersion in a mainstream school A new language program has been implemented in Isaac Brook school in the west end of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Kindergarten students will begin the new year being taught entirely in Ojibway or Cree.

“I think it's been a dream for a lot of people for a long time to have heritage languages spoken at school.” said Rob Riel, Winnipeg School Division's director of Aboriginal Education and Newcomer Services.

“Having kindergarten students be able to speak the language of their parents and grandparents is tremendous.”

Students

will be taught to speak in Ojibway and Cree, as well as being taught how to read and write in the respective languages. Manitoba's curriculum will be like any other kindergarten class except it will be followed through the eyes of Cree and Ojibway teachers.

“They will be starting off the morning with the smudge,” Riel said. “Then there are curriculum outcomes that will be met by smudging with regards to counting and colours and days of the week and seasons and things like that.”

“It's safe to say that this program is not going

to fail,” Riel said. “There's been many people supporting it. I think with the traditional start we've had by putting out tobacco only good things are going to happen.” The program will eventually expand to include Grades one to six.

Teachers who are fluent in

the languages and cultures usually stay close to home but the interest in this program was overwhelming.

“Our toughest was selecting, we had many names to go from,” Riel said. The school looks forward to opening next week.

Miracle Chiefs to host Mann Cup

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – After falling behind three games to none against the powerful Peterborough Lakers, the miracle Pro-fit Six Nations Chiefs came from the brink of elimination to win the next four games straight and advance to the Mann Cup Finals. What’s more Six Nations will be hosting the national Sr. lacrosse championship at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena beginning this Friday night.

The Chiefs won the Mann Cup in 2013 and 2014, but lost the chance for another “three-peat” like they had in ’92, ‘93, and ’94, when these same Peterborough Lakers beat the 2015 Chiefs for the Major Series Lacrosse Championship and a trip to the Mann Cup. The Lakers were defeated in six games by the Victoria Shamrocks and the Cup went west.

The Chiefs went into the MSL finals decimated by injuries to key players but despite missing the likes of Durston, Powless, Jamieson, and others, the Chiefs defence took the responsibility to keep the score down and within reach.

“I put on a brave face but

The Six Nations Pro-fit Chiefs did the near impossible by coming back from a 3-0 deficit in the best of seven Major Series Championships, and defeating the Peterborough Lakers four games to three with four consecutive wins. The Chiefs will now host the Mann Cup Championships beginning Friday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena at 8 p.m. Game 2 of the best of even series is Saturday night. All games begin at 8 p.m. SUBMITTED PHOTO

I knew we were in big trouble down 3-0 to that team,” Chief’s coach Rich Kilgour admitted to the Peterborough Examiner following the game. “We just kept preaching positive and the guys bought in. We were on our heels at the start.

SIX NATIONS

[Peterborough] came out flying. We talked about getting back to pressuring them and getting on their hands. If they were going to do anything it was going to be while they were being slashed or cross-checked or make them do it on the

run. We got back to that and it all worked out.”

Series MVP Dillon Ward, was an easy choice for the award after playing a great series against the powerful Lakers. Although the Lakers won Games 1, 2, and 3, two of them were one-

goal games that could have easily gone either way. The Lakers won 12-11 and 7-6, taking Game 3 15-9.

Feeling confident heading into Game 4, bus loads of Lakers fans made the trip to Six Nations for Game 4 and what they

had hoped would be a four-game sweep. But the Chiefs had other ideas and with the return of Cody Jamieson, and with a stellar performance by Ward and the Chiefs defence, the Six Nations staved off elimination with an impressive Game 4, 8-1 win.

“That’s OK, we’ll get ‘em back home,” was the rally call of the disappointed Laker fans as they were leaving the ILA. The impressive win seemed to infuse the Chiefs with a renewed pride and confidence, which they rode to an 8-6 Game 5 win in Peterborough. Back at the ILA, there was still an expectation on the Lakers bench of another Mann Cup shot for 2016, but a well earned 10-7 Chiefs win evened the series at three games apiece with Game 7 set for the Peterborough Arena, Saturday night, and with the Chiefs carrying the momentum.

The Peterborough Memorial Centre was packed out with an estimated 4,000 lacrosse fans, many of them making the trip from Six Nations for the rubber game of the series CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

to the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs in winning the Major Series Lacrosse Championship in seven games.

Continued from page 15 and an opportunity to host the Mann Cup in their home arena.

Jamieson seemed to be used to his newly fitted knee brace by Game 7 and played well scoring two goals on a bad wheel.

With Durston and Powless still out, young Austin Staats from the Jr. A Arrows, found regular floor time as did veteran Roger Vyse,

on loan from the Sr. B Rivermen.

Meanwhile, everyone on the Chiefs bench rose to the occasion and filled the gap left by two of their top goal scorers.

Peterborough fans got the place rocking at 10:14 with Cory Vitarelli’s powerplay goal at 10:14. Dhane Smith evened the score from Ryan Benesch and

Austin Staats at 14:12, but the Lakers took the lead back seconds later. Smith added his second of the period at 15:30 from Brodie Merril.

Chad Culp put the Lakers ahead again at 16:45, but Cody Jamieson closed the period with the teams tied at 3-3.

The great John Grant Jr., who took Game 6 off,

was back for Game 7 and opened the second period from Mark Steenhuis, 36 seconds into the second period.

Austin Staats answered but Grant score again followed by Steenhuis putting the Lakers ahead 6-4.

Austin’s big brother Randy Staats brought the Chiefs to within one goal of the Lakers with 20 minutes remaining in regulation time.

The Chiefs knew what they had to do to stay alive

The Six Nations Chiefs were down three games to none in the best of seven OLA Major Series finals against the Peterborough Lakers when they came all the way back from the brink with a stunning four game winning streak to eliminate last year's Mann Cup winners and get another shot at the holy grail of lacrosse they lost to the Victoria Shamrocks last season. The Chiefs will begin the Mann Cup finals against the western finalist, the Maple Ridge Burrards this Friday at the ILA in Six Nations. Go Chiefs Go! SUBMITTED PHOTO

and put on a display of power and determination in the third period that left Laker fan’s slack-jawed.

Jamieson, scored the tying goal to begin the third, from Brodie Merril who played a great game in his own right with three important assists.

Turning up the heat, the Chiefs kept rolling with Dan Dawson, Austin Staats, and Dhane Smith contributing third period goals. Steenhuis scores a Peterborough goal with an extra attacker on the floor, but Ward was a stone-wall as time ran out on Peterborough. Randy Staats scored the final goal of the series, unassisted, and the miracle was complete. The Chiefs had come back from the brink with heart, determination and a great effort from all cast members in the drama.

“It's very disappointing,” said Lakers star Shawn Evans. “Another Mann Cup that is a missed opportunity. That's a couple we should have had and we didn't. Those are the ones that sting and come back to haunt you.

It's tough to look at everyone in that dressing room and see the disappoint. It was right there within our reach and we just couldn't close it out.”

Kilgour was over-themoon proud of his Chiefs.

“After we lost that third game and lost it bad, if I told you were only going

to be down one-goal going into the third period of Game 7 every guy on our team would have taken it,” said Kilgour after the game. “As bad as we were for three games that's how good we were for four.”

The Chiefs will have until Friday to heal up some wounds and bruises before they host the Western Champion Maple Ridge Burrards, who eliminated last year’s winners, the Victoria Shamrocks in six games. For the Western Champions, it will be the first Mann Cup action they will have seen since 1990.

could make the connection with the NLL. The caliber of play the winter league CLAX offered was very high and offered a chance for graduating Jr.’s to find a path to the NLL if not selected in the drafts for one reason or another. It also gave older players an opportunity to remain playing the game at a competitive level after their pro careers were over. Hardcore CLAX fans liked the two-way style of play used in the CLAX, a throwback to the days before specialized offensive and defensive units who make wholesale changes depending on which way the ball is moving.

The sudden announce-

ment has shocked the lacrosse community leaving a number of players looking for a place to play this winter. CLAX had five teams last season, based in Oshawa, Barrie, Niagara, Paris and Ohsweken.

“I think in the last couple of years you could see this move coming,” says Durham Turfdogs coach Matt Giles. “Unfortunately, the league and all the teams involved didn’t have the fan support they needed to operate as a professional league.”

To be correct, the league has officially suspended operation for 2017, but may still resurrect in some form in 2018, possibly under another name.

CLAX suspends operations for 2017

By TRT staff

ST. CATHARINES – After five years of trying to make it work, the Canadian Lacrosse League or CLAX has folded citing financial reasons. The semi-pro league was designed as a possible farm system for the National Lacrosse League (NLL) similar to what the American Hockey league is to the NHL. The league, which operated under a joint ownership group consisting of Nancy and Rodney Hill of Six Nations, and the venture capital firm Charlesway Corporation located in St. Catharines where the CLAX office was located, purchased

the league at the end of the 2012 season from founder Paul St. John.

The sudden announcement came after Charlesway president, Jeff Cairns, age 60, had been arrested by Niagara police following an investigation into allegations of 24 child sex-related offences, include sexual assault, sexual interference and the invitation to sexual touching.

Cairns has since been released on $10,000 bail, but CLAX officials say Cairns arrest has nothing to do with the league folding.

“I can say the decision [to fold] was made far before this happened,” says Rob Diehl, marketing and

HI CLARA! Y

Keeping an art form alive at Woodland

By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – Learning how to make black ash baskets isn't a commodity within the Six Nations community. To help the bridge the gap, a fulfilling two-day workshop teaching pack basket making from black and white ash tree splints was held on the grounds of the Woodland Cultural Centre on Sunday, September 4.

Participants were required to bring their own jackknife, measuring tape, scissors and of course, lunch to sit outside in the nice weather to begin their baskets.

Basket Maker Carol-Anne Maracle from the Tyendinaga Reserve said this is her third year teaching a skill that she learned to help keep the tradition going at the Woodland Cultural Centre.

“I have been basket making I guess for almost 15 years now,” said Maracle. “It's a hobby actually. I took three years of my life and travelled from Tyendinaga to Akwesasne and learned from basket makers there. Every Tuesday and Thursday night I went for courses. Through the summer, through

What we do is we clean the bark off of the tree, then we take the back of the axe and pound it on the log of the tree and pieces of the wood peel up. Then we cut them to the size that we need for the baskets,” she said.

This process tends to take Maracle only a week or two to complete a full size pack basket, as her 15 years of experience serves her well. But, by doing most of the prep work, she can enable a class to finish a basket in only two days.

With a great instructor, nice weather and easy registration it's safe to say that this workshop will definitely be full again next year.

the winter I would drive there and I would learn how to make fancy baskets, strawberry baskets, sweet grass baskets and gradually learned how to do bigger baskets; feast baskets, wedding baskets, corn-wash baskets and pack baskets,” she said, explaining that each of those baskets comes in a different size and design.

“I'm so happy to be back in Six Nations,” she said. “I really enjoy coming here and doing my basket classes. I have heard that there aren't too many basket makers here within Six Nations, just a few. But, like our community in Tyendinaga there were no longer any basket makers.

That was my incentive to travel and learn from the

basket makers that were still here. I enjoyed that time immensely. I heard and shared so many stories with the elders as we were making our baskets,” she said, including that being a teacher has also opened up many friendships for her.

Even within her family, Maracle described the dynamic between her and her daughter as one of working together; Maracle enjoys making large baskets and her daughter making small baskets from the “scraps.”

But in regards to the actual process making of the baskets, Maracle uses what she jokingly calls a “thigh master,” which uses the pressure of her legs to hold the water-soaked splints in place as she coaxes the wood to split into thinner pieces.

“There's various ways of spitting the splint,” she said. “When [the black ash] comes as a tree, it is eight to 10 feet long and still has the bark on it.

Brantford Native Housing Board of Directors and Staff would like to take this opportunity to say Nia:wen, Miigwetch, Thank you to the RBC Foundation and Royal Eagles Ontario for your very generous contribution, and making the 2016/2017 School Back Pack Program a huge success. In collaboration we were able to provide 175 back packs to students from preschool to postsecondary.
