Six Nations ceases talks with Enbridge, signs historic treaty to resist pipelines

By Nahnda Garlow OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council released a statement Monday, saying effective September 12, 2016 all current and future consultations with Enbridge have ceased.

According to SNEC, Six Nations Consultation and Accommodation Process (CAP) team were in discussions with Enbridge regarding how the company could accommodate the community for their proposed Line 10 replacement project, which is seeking to replace a 35 kilometre section of the pipeline that currently crosses over Haudenosaunee territory.

Six Nations Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry said the CAP team got involved in discussions with Enbridge as a result of Canada’s ‘duty to consult’ process between proponents — the corporation seeking to make a development, in this case Enbridge — and First Nations communities, in this case Six Nations.

Bomberry said Enbridge is required by the federal government to contact and enter discussions with Six Nations on any projects along the Haldimand Tract and 1701 Treaty territories, also known as the Dish with One Spoon area.

“We didn’t really start a formal process of be-

coming involved in anything to any great degree. But with the Line 10 replacement project we became more involved,” said Bomberry.

Bomberry said Six Nations applied for intervenor status with the National Energy Board (NEB) when Enbridge submitted their application for the Line 10 replacement project.

“We discussed with Enbridge that the Line 10 replacement is an impingement on our treaty rights; that we have a right to be accommodated if the line is going to be refurbished and so the issue was how are we gong to be compenCONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Theatre group seeks partnership with Six Nations

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – Brant Theatre Workshops, a training and performing arts centre for actors in Brantford, is seeking a partnership, including practise space, with Six Nations in hopes of extending the centre’s reach of influence.

“We have a few new projects in the works and we’re asking for a space we could use here on Six Nations to practise in, as well as a donation of $5,000 to pay the kids,” said Cheyenne Williams, a representative from the centre who came to last week’s elected council meeting to ask for a letter of intent. “We want to extend our reach from Brantford to Six Nations.”

Williams said that while it does exist, the performing arts scene here on the territory is not as booming as it could be and that the

Cheyenne Williams, a member of Brant Theatre Workshops came to last week's Six Nations Elected Council general meeting to ask that they sign a letter of intent to donate $5,000 and space to practice in for upcoming workshops in January. This photo was taken at an elected council meeting a week prior on Sept.

“Having a centre in Brantford and a space to

practise here would be a great way to boost the art scene here,” said Williams.

The group wouldn’t

need the space or donation until early January, but Williams came to elected council to ask that council mem-

bers consider writing a letter of intent, which would signify that elected council intends to donate the funds and space if the funds can be found somewhere within the budget closer to the time it is needed.

“We definitely don’t have $5,000 in the budget right now for this,” said Councillor Roger Jonathan. “If we can find it somewhere by January, then we can probably do it.”

Williams and elected council tossed around a few ideas as to what space might be available for the group to practise in, but couldn’t decide for sure what might be available come January.

“We can write you the letter of intent,” said Elected Chief Ava Hill.

“But we’ll finalize the details of what space you can use after we look into it more, at this point we’re just not sure what space would be available

in January.”

Hill asked Williams to continue seeking out different locations that might be available to use; the community hall and the G.R.E.A.T. building were mentioned as options to consider.

The group would need the space for 10 weeks; once a week for two to four hours per meeting.

As long as elected council agrees to the letter of intent, they wouldn’t need the donation of $5,000 until closer to January; Williams just wanted to know if elected council was on board.

“As long as we get the letter of intent, then we can move forward,” said Williams.

Elected council said that they would offer Brant Theatre Workshops a letter of intent to support their cause.

Pros and cons of biosolids as fertilizer

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The list of genuine concerns regarding the application of human waste as fertilizer are many, but the industry continues to thrive in Southern Ontario and Brant County. Six Nations Elected Council banned its use on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory several years ago and that ban remains in place, but Brant and Brantford have no such ban.

On paper, finding a use for the sludge that is left after raw municipal sewage is processed is a stroke of genius. The application has very positive results in fertilizing crops, and there is not much doubt of that.

What’s more, it is free to the farmer. Although haulage and application is a cost, the use of biosolids is far cheaper than other fertilizers on the market.

Despite what proponents and suppliers of biosolids say, and with municipal government support, the risks are usually played down while the benefits of its use are played up.

As with most things, the protection of the environment and the health of people consuming the produce grown with biosolids over a long time, are secondary to finding a use for this nasty sludge, while making money doing so.

According to a published report by the Bioscience Resources Project, “Risk assessment is complex because Sludge Contains Highly Varied Amounts of Organic Chemicals, Toxic Metals, Chemical Irritants, and Pathogens. Furthermore, the effects of their interactions, long-term build-up in soils, leaching into waterways, and uptake into crops and the food system have not been well-studied. Thus, little is known about the long-

term human heath and Ecological Consequences of Sludge Application.

There is, however, clear scientific documentation of the sometimes deadly Direct Human Health Consequences of Land Application.

Furthermore, by bringing together and concentrating varied pathogens and antibiotics, Wastewater Treatment Selects Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria is a problem worldwide.”

This leads to strains of diseases that are resistant to medical antibiotics. This is a problem most countries around the world share however North America at large focuses far too much on low cost of its use and usually plays down the dangers of eating foods nourished by human waste.

Former Six Nations Elected Chief fought its use on the Grand River Watershed.

“I wish there were high-level talks but all we get is nothing,” Montour said at the time.

Montour banned its use on reserve but also wanted the same ban in Brant County, fearing runoff into the Grand River but was unsuccessful and biosolids continue to be spread on thousands of acres, which drain into Six Nations water source.

A steady parade of large tanker trucks roll from the Wesuuc Biosolids processing plant on Locks road across from the municipal dump. This proves the popularity of biosolids, or human waste sludge. But it also makes more research on the subject even more necessary, especially in the Brant/Brantford area where field runoffs go directly into the Six Nations water supply.

Although the process does eliminate several natural toxins and other

unhealthy elements, even the most sophisticated human waste processing plants can not eliminate certain drugs elements introduced by the pharmaceutical industry and the for human and animal use, like antibiotics and some heavy metals. These elements can find their way into the food we eat and which grazing cattle eat and cause many chronic ailments.

But not all scientific studies have had the same results. Other studies have shown the danger in using biosolids is much less risky today than in past years of development. Proponents say, it is proven to be completely harmless.

The UNC Institute for the Environment released a study in 2009, which says “an initial literature review was completed to determine how detrimental the land application of biosolids really is to public health. Our group found that there is very little known about the health effects of biosolids land application, either in the short or long-term.”

In 1996, the NRC published Use of Reclaimed Water and Sewage Sludge in Food Crop Production.

The report concluded that the application of biosolids to farmland, when practiced in accordance with existing federal guidelines and regulations, presents negligible risk to the consumer, to crop production, and to the environment.

The report concluded that current technology to remove pollutants from wastewater, coupled with existing regulations and guidelines governing the use of reclaimed wastewater and sludge.

But it goes on to say, “like any nutrient-rich fertilizer, biosolids should only be applied in ways that minimize risk of leaching of

nutrients or other constituents to groundwater or runoff to nearby surface waters.

Environmentally conscious farmers and governments around the world still have a number of concerns.

The Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario supports a moratorium to ban the spreading of biosolids on farm land and to support and ask for independent research on long term effects on farmland and surrounding ecosystems.

“In Ontario, two-thirds of all sewage sludge is disposed of by spreading it on farm fields –300,000 tonnes a year. Toronto alone contributes 80,000 tonnes a year,” according to EFAO studies. “Biosolids are praised for the high nutrient levels which are beneficial to the soil. But there can also be uncontrolled concentrations and mixtures of, namely: Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, Endotoxins, Heavy metals like Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Chromium, Cadmium, Molybdenum, Copper, Selenium, Zinc, Chemicals like PCB’s, PBDE’s (fire retardants), dioxins and furans, endocrine disruptors, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and others discharged into sewers from home and industry as well as Antibiotics and other drugs flushed down toilets and drains.”

This study has discovered that significant amounts of the heavy metals in the biosolids have vanished from the plough depth of the fields. (The heavy metals are markers for some 10,000 potentially harmful chemicals in the sludge, which are not individually tested for.)

Testing has revealed the metals did not migrate deeper into the soil, and while some leachate into surface waters was found,

RADIO 93.5 FM

the rate of leachate could not account for the bulk of the missing material.

“The only clues to its disappearance were elevated levels of metals found in weeds adjacent to the spread fields,” says the study. “One of the independent studies, a study

by OME/OMAFRA/WTI in Ontario reinforces the findings. That study found dioxins in known historic biosolids spread fields had also vanished. While neither Cornell nor OME/ OMAFRA is prepared to state the obvious, the logical assumption is that these harmful chemicals were absorbed into the plants grown as food and fodder crops and are contaminating the entire food chain from vegetables and fruit fertilized with sludge (tobacco is the only crop that cannot be grown in biosolids in Ontario) to the meat, eggs, milk, and prepared foods from animals

fed sludge-contaminated feeds.”

“Because 95 per cent of the uses of the antibacterial pesticide triclosan, and its cousin triclocarban, are in consumer products that are disposed of down residential drains, sewage and wastewater provide a prime medium for their entry into the larger environment.”

EPA, in its Targeted National Sewage Sludge Survey Report, found that triclosan was detected in 79 of a total of 84 sludge samples used in the survey.

“The beneficial reuse of digested municipal sludge as agricultural fertilizer represents a mechanism for the reintroduction of substantial amounts of [triclosan] into the environment,” the report concludes.

SN Elected Council briefs Six Nations Elected Council is submitting the 2017 to 2018 Minor Capital Allocations request to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada totaling just under $1.5 million. The request is submitted to INAC and INAC then decides if the allocations are to be approved and if funding is to be distributed.

20 years since Friel forded the grand

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD/SIX NATIONS – In Nov. 1997, an agreement was reached after weeks of negotiations and peaceful protest surrounding Brantford’s perceived need to cross the Grand River with a subterranean sewer and watermain. Running a sewer and water line to that part of the city was seen as essential to the growth of industry and jobs but it required a crossing of the River.

The project was stopped. But something else happened. Then young Mayor Chris Friel began to look closer at the unfair history of political and racial assumption and of anglo-arrogant attitudes shown towards Six Nations in the past.

Brantford had a mayor at the time who found that understanding and humility go a very long way in resolving even ancient disputes. He studied

and read historical maps and agreements with Six Nations in an attempt to understand the worldview of the people of Six Nations.

Eventually, the Corporation of the City of Brantford agreed to discuss, consider and to address Six Nations concerns. Almost 20 years ago, on February 4, 1997, Six Nations and The Corporation of the City of Brantford formalized an Interim Use arrangement on a “without prejudice” basis to Six Nations claims or litigation to allow the crossing of the Bed of the Grand River and the Island therein.

There were several provisos to that agreement, one being that three other crossings had to be upgraded with shut off valves and monitors, as the new proposed one was to have.

At that time the City agreed that it would not object to the lands being

held “in trust”. On October 1, 2001, the Six Nations Elected Council and The Corporation of Haldimand County entered into an Interim Agreement to allow Haldimand County to replace an existing waterline crossing the Grand River at Caledonia.

Concerns over the Brantford Landfill site were also included in these talks between the Elected Council and the City.

There was a reasonable time frame for both projects and they agreed to a long list of recommendations, safety precautions and upgrades all to be completed by 2017.

This agreement was an interim measure to last until the land claims on the area known as the Northwest Industrial Park are resolved.

The agreement stipulated that should the claim be resolved in Six Nations favour, they would receive $100,000

GORD’S LAUNDROMAT

for each of five river crossings. But if resolved in the Crown’s favour, no further payment will be made for land use.

This, as well as 28 other registered claims, most involving Brant and Brantford, is still unsettled, but the agreement was based on mutual respect, and at least an attempt at understanding the Six Nations world view and true history of the relationship between the two. Money, you will notice, was secondary to the importance of involving Six Nations, in this case, Elected Council, to protection the river and the lands around it.

A lot has happened in the 20 years since this agreement was signed, including Caledonia and several Brantford land claim protests. However, it may be possible to move the yard sticks forward by taking a couple of steps backward in time.

What are pipelines made out of?

Editorial by Chezney Martin Peru faced three oil spills in one month this year, Nigeria experienced an oil leak that went into local creeks after a key pipeline was sabotaged this past January, the North Slope was flooded with 1,000 barrels of oil in Alaska last November, and in May of this year, the Gulf of Mexico saw a largely unnoticed spill of 90,000 gallons of oil leak out, after a fault in a pipeline remained unfixed since May 2011.

The videos of fishermen crying as oil suffocates the very fish that were once lifeblood to their families, the comparison photos of the differences between water sources before and after a spill, and the posts on social media expressing outrage and confusion; they've each become the stories we don't really want to see or hear.

But that's just it. Although it doesn't make the situations of those affected by oil leaks to be any less hard to swallow — something that isn't very well circulated is the direct cause of pipeline leaks.

Each oil, the way it is spilled and even the type of environment it comes into contact with has to be assessed when trying to figure out how bad a spill is. The types of oil vary and their effects on the environment differ as well — the two types of oil are commonly considered sweet and sour or “light” and “heavy.” Gasoline and diesel fuel fall into the light category, while bunker oils that fuel ships and other large vehicles are considered heavy.

Light oils evaporate quickly, so if they are spilled in a marine environment they don't tend to remain for very long. But, light oils carry two significant dangers; one is being toxic to animals they come into contact with by physical contact or inhalation, and second, their likeliness of being set aflame.

Heavy oils on the other hand are the sticky and tar-like oils that can remain in an environment for months if not years if they are not removed properly. These oils are less acutely toxic, but their shortterm effect is the possibility of smothering nearby organisms as well as coating them and preventing body-temperature control. As well, heavy oils seem to carry the worst long-term effects, as many can cause chronic health problems such as tumours.

Nonetheless, crude oils are transported through pipelines. In the Canadian pipeline network more than two million barrels of oil are transported per day — that's enough to fill two Olympic swimming pools. As well, these pipelines are made from carbon steel, which makes them susceptible to corrosion, even with an anti-corrosion coating.

There are three types of oil pipelines and they are listed as: gathering lines which travel short distances and move unprocessed product to oil storage tanks, feeder lines which carry product from oil storage tanks to transmission lines, and transmission lines which transfer the product to consuming areas. So, for transmission lines — and there is 100,000 kilometres of them in Canada — there has to be 0.05 per cent water content.

Why? Because the water in the oil is what causes most leaks in the pipelines through internal corrosion. External corrosion however, is caused by the electrochemical interaction between the pipe and the surrounding environment — which tends to be underground — after the pipes protective epoxy loosens in time.

The point being made is that the percentage of oil spills that have contaminated water in the last decade globally have accumulated to being unreasonably terrible when we can pinpoint what causes major leaks. Let's just remember that roughly 70 per cent of the earth is water, but only 1 per cent of that water is useable.

So, why make pipelines out of carbon steel?

SIX NATIONS – Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo Elementary Students were allegedly subjected to a series of cruel incidents while riding with a Sharp Bus Lines bus driver. It has been alleged that the driver would even play the song One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians, on the bus, knowing the children attend a full Mohawk and Cayuga immersion school.

The driver’s name has not been officially released, but a warning released by concerned mother Paula Hill reached Facebook on Wednesday, September 21. Hill's children persisted in notifying her of the abusive manner the driver spoke to the children and the way he drove the bus.

“They also expressed concerns about how fast he drove — that he tended to slam on the brakes and often slide past his destination. They complained that this prolonged the bus ride, as the bus driver then had to

back up in order to get the children closer to their laneway. I dismissed this complaint, saying 'well it's a new school year and he just needs to get used to his route,'” Hill wrote.

Hill explained that she dismissed the complaints made by her children initially and reasoned that their bus driver must be “just a crotchety old man”. But, the peak of the incidents occurred just a day before Hill made the post.

“My daughter sent me panicked text messages saying that it was so hot on the bus she felt like she was going to die. It was so hot in the bus that she could not breathe and the heat was triggering an asthma attack. She said that the bus driver would not allow any of the kids to put their windows down — that the bus driver stated that 'the windows are going to stay up until you all learn to follow the rules,'” she wrote.

Hill further explained that it was a hot day — 30 C — and her daughter

relayed to her that as the bus monitor put her window down and expressed her fear for the children, the driver scolded her.

“Stating something to the effect that she has to listen to him — that he's 'the one in control here.'

As further retaliation, the bus driver then turned the heat on! There were three children that were sitting in seats directly above the heaters, one of which was my son. My son said that the heat on his legs became unbearably hot. One of the other children called her mother,” she wrote.

Hill emphasized that Sharp Bus Lines was simply going to move the driver to a different route, even after explaining that there had been “numerous complaints” regarding the driver.

But, after she and another parent brought this issue to light and with the help of the Kawenni:io/ Gaweniyo Principal and Sharp Bus Lines, the driver has since been allegedly removed and fired.

Tim Hortons to open October 11th

Disney pulls racist costume Haldimand County gives from shelves $10,000 to SN food bank

By Nahnda Garlow

ORLANDO, FL. — Disney has pulled a child’s costume off the shelves after public outcry the item was racist.

The boy’s costume is part of the promotions for the upcoming feature animated movie “Moana”, and depicted a Polynesian ancestor complete with full body tattoos, a fake shark tooth necklace

and green-leaf skirt.

The costume received international outrage -- saying it was racist to have children wear the skin of another race.

Disney had boys pyjamas and men’s t-shirts with a similar design.

In a statement Disney apologized and announced they were pulling the items from websites and stores.

VANCOUVER, B.C. —The Chief of a BC First Nations organization said he would not participate in a reconciliation ceremony with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge while they are in Canada.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, leader of the Union

of B.C. Indian Chiefs said his decision was a matter of principle, and that he could not participate in the ceremony in good conscience knowing Canada’s record with poverty in indigenous communities, missing and murdered indigenous women and girls and child welfare on reserves.

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Haldimand County Mayor Ken Hewitt presented Ellen-Rose Jamieson a cheque for $10,000 last week that will go towards purchasing items for the Six Nations Community Food Bank on Six Nations. Jamieson is the food bank co-ordinator.

The money was raised back in May at the Annual Mayor’s Gala. Several organizations in the Haldimand area received donations from money raised at the gala, but the food bank on Six Nations is always in need, so, the donation comes at a great time and is very much appreciated.

Along with dispersing personal items, the

Food Bank runs a food service program every Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. There, community members can receive pantry staples such as pasta, beans, soup, canned vegetables, fruits, school snacks, and bread. To supplement the staples, the food bank also provides fresh items on a rotational basis each week including eggs, dairy, fresh vegetables and meat.

Any contribution or donation given to the food bank is appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed.

“We really try to make sure everybody knows how much we at the food bank appreciate the help,” said Jamieson.

Canada’s first clinical trial to study medical cannabis and PTSD

Thanksgiving Service Sunday October 2, 2016 @2:00pm 301 Mohawk St. Brantford Ontario Join us for a service of praise and thanksgiving Fellowship to follow service with refreshments

A.S.I.S.T.

University of British Columbia BRITISH COLUMBIA – Tilray, medical marijuana producers, and the University of British Columbia (UBC) announced today that patient recruitment for Canada’s first clinical trial to evaluate the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis, as treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will begin this month.

This trial will be one of the world’s first largescale clinical trials to examine medical cannabis as a treatment for a mental health disorder, and the largest medical cannabis clinical trial to place in Canada in the last 40 years.

The trial has received all necessary regulatory and institutional review board approvals and will begin as soon as patients are enrolled.

“We know there continues to be significant unmet need in the treatment of PTSD in Canada and around the world,” says study principal investigator, Associate Professor and clinical psychologist Zach Walsh of UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna, which is hosting the study. “This trial will allow us to build on the anecdotal evidence supporting the potential use of medical cannabis to treat PTSD and hopefully help those who struggle with this debilitating condition.

We are glad that people who suffer from PTSD may be eligible to take part in this cutting-edge study.”

The Phase II, triple blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover clinical trial will gather evidence on the safety and efficacy of three potencies of medical cannabis (10 per cent THC, 10 per cent THC/CBD, and a placebo) to manage chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD symptoms

resulting from a traumatic event. While the main treatments for people with PTSD are psychotherapy, medications, or both, many patients continue to struggle with the effects of PTSD. There is promising preclinical and anecdotal evidence supporting the potential of medical cannabis to alleviate PTSD symptoms, particularly among veterans. This research will add to the state of knowledge regarding the potential risks and benefits of cannabis as a treatment for PTSD, and provide critical insight about how cannabis of various chemical compositions any affect treatment outcomes.

PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life-threatening event such as military combat, natural disasters, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault in adult or childhood. Research suggests that PTSD affects more than nine per cent of men and women in Canada, and many more worldwide, and it is also estimated that up to 10 per cent of Canadian war zone veterans—including war service veterans and peacekeeping forces—will experience post-traumatic stress disorder following their service. Treatment is necessary in order to help those who have served their country, or experienced an unfortunate traumatic event, find coping methods to continue to live a full and normal life.

Tilray is the first and only Health Canada-approved licensed producer to announce a clinical trial studying the medical benefits of cannabis for a mental health condition.

Medical cannabis used in the trial will be administered through a licensed medical vaporizer. Study participants will include

42 Canadians who meet clinical criteria for PTSD, due to trauma experienced during military service, as a first responder or police, or as the result of violence and/or sexual assault. The trial will begin recruitment in September 2016, and is scheduled to conclude in spring 2018.

This first-of-its-kind PTSD clinical trial is one of several research efforts underway at Tilray, a global leader in medical cannabis cultivation, production and research. Earlier this year, Tilray announced a ground-breaking research partnership in Australia with The New South Wales (NSW) Government, the University of Sydney and Chris O`Brien Lifehouse to develop a novel treatment for nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy. In the coming months, the company is poised to announce additional trials examining the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis for different conditions and diseases.

“Tilray is at the forefront of clinical research in the medical cannabis field. We are providing physicians and researchers with cannabis-derived study drugs that meet rigorous regulatory standards for human trials and which are based on studies indicating a high likelihood of success in treating specific diseases and disease-related symptoms,” says Dr. Catherine Jacobson, Director of Clinical Research at Tilray.

“Methodologically sound research resulting from these trials is the best tool we can offer physicians to further understand the effectiveness of medical cannabis treatment for the myriad symptoms associated with conditions like PTSD and epilepsy, as well as those stemming from other treatments such as chemotherapy.”

Continued from page 2 sated or mitigated,” said Bomberry.

Bomberry said the CAP team and Enbridge “couldn’t reach a satisfactory resolution on that”, and thus the statement was issued declaring as of September 12 all current and future engagements with Enbridge and Six Nations Elected Council have ceased.

Crown has ‘duty to consult’ Bomberry explained that because Enbridge has a ‘duty to consult’ that it is possible Six Nations would have to communicate with them again, however when it comes to the Line 10 replacement project there will be no future discussions.

Instead, he says, Six Nations will use it’s platform at the NEB to to speak on behalf the community and raise concerns about the project there.

“It’s a process thats there that you have to use,” said Bomberry.

“The bigger issue is who has the duty to consult and accomodate.”

Bomberry said that a number of historic court cases indicate that it is actually the duty of the Crown to consult with First Nations and not the proponent, in this case, Enbridge.

“That is the Crown’s duty,” said Bomberry.

“We all know that because of all the court cases. Is the NEB the proper body to do that?

It would seem at first glance, no it is not. And that is what the Chippewas of the Thames court case is all about.”

Chippewas of the Thames (COT) is a First Nations community near London, Ontario.

They are seeking the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal a decision upheld by the National Energy Board granting Enbridge authorization to reverse the flow of Line 9, permitting crude oil and bitumen to flow across their territory.

COT says the duty to consult with First Na-

tions people and accommodate their interests is a constitutional duty invoking honour of the Crown and not the NEB, “which requires that the Crown act with good faith to provide meaningful consultation appropriate to the circumstances and must be upheld.”

This case, says Bomberry, would have a great impact on the direction of all consultations between First Nations and proponents in the near future.

“That’s going to provide a lot of guidance to first nations on who has the duty to consult and maybe even what that duty consists of,” said Bomberry. “Because it really isn’t the duty of the proponents to consult. It’s always been clear from the case law that it is the Crown’s duty. And we have had no discussions with the Crown on either the Line 9 reversal or the Line 10 replacement.”

Bomberry said the Supreme Court decision on the COT case will have a lot of effect on how Six Nations engages with Enbridge and with the Crown in the future.

Six Nations signs pipeline resistance treaty Pipeline development through indigenous territory has been a hot point politically across North America this summer. Opposition action has been taken both in the United States and Canada to halt construction of new pipelines, such as the Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, Energy East and more recently the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Earlier this week 85 indigenous nations across Canada and the United States signed a Treaty Alliance Against Expansion of the Tar Sands at simultaneous ceremonies on Musqueam (Vancouver) and Mohawk (Montreal) territories declaring resistance against the pipeline projects of

TransCanada, Kinder Morgan and Enbridge.

It reads in part, “our Nations hereby join together under the present treaty to officially prohibit and to agree to collectively challenge and resist the use of our respective territories and coasts for the expansion of the production of Tar Sands, including for the transport of such expanded production, whether by pipeline, rail or tanker.”

Among the 85 signatories to the historic treaty are the Mohawks of Kahnawake, Mohawks of Kanesatake and Six Nations of the Grand River, along with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota.

Bomberry says Six Nations action to halt discussions with Enbridge is a part of that greater resistance throughout indigenous North America.

“I think from the Council’s perspective it’s generally fair to say that First Nations all across Canada and in the United States are opposed to pipelines.

We see that with Standing Rock and Elected Council is in support of the Standing Rock Sioux in their attempts to stop the construction of that pipeline. Whether its Energy East pipeline or Enbridge lines it’s generally fair to say, and we know what’s happening out on the west coast with Northern Gateway, people are generally opposed to that too. It’s not only happening here but it happening all across Canada,” said Bomberry. “There is that general resolve that all First Nations are opposed to pipelines because it is impinging upon their treaty rights and also the potential for environmental disasters are always there as well.”

Kinomaagaye gaamik lodge in New Credit holds ceremony supporting Standing Rock

By Tim Reynolds NEW CREDIT FIRST NATION – A diverse gathering of more than 50 people came together for ceremony and support of the Standing Rock actions in New Credit last Wednesday, September 21.

Lakota Sioux Protests began when the Energy Transfer partners decided to re-route the Dakota access pipeline away from Bismarck, N.D., a privileged community, to Standing Rock underneath the Missouri river.

The Missouri river is the primary source of drinking water for Standing Rock.

“The whole of Turtle Island needs to be involved, indigenous or not,” said Robin Mcleod, who resides near Georgetown, Ont. and came down to offer support and gave his perspective on the issue.

In the U.S. there has been more than more than 2,000 significant accidents on oil and gas

pipelines. These accidents have caused $3 billion worth of property damage and environmental damage as well.

One of the worst pipeline accidents was Enbridge’s pipeline spill into the Kalamazoo river in January 25,2010. Almost 3.3 million litres spilled into the river with the bitumen going immediately to the bottom of the river, which could take decades to clean up.

The organizer of the event Nancy Rowe went on a formal tour of the Kalamazoo oil spill site two years ago after much clean up was done.

“I could see the oil film on top of the water despite the clean up efforts.

It is not just an American problem; it involves all of Turtle Island,” said Rowe.

"What doesn’t make sense to me is that it does not get the media coverage that it should. I think that this is not just a problem for Standing Rock but a problem for us all that needs to be dealt with.”

Yutlunotha, also known by some as Amanda Doxtator, turtle clan, from the Oneida of Thames just came back from Standing Rock.

“I don’t consider it a campsite, there was a sense of community there that was amazing; always helping and supporting each other. Taking care of each in the original way.

The men cut wood and the women helped in the kitchen and at night time singing, sweat lodges and other ceremonies going until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m..

The people and the unity there made it an amazing experience. We need to create awareness about Enbridge’s line 9 and 10.

If you look at what’s going on with our mother like fracking she is giving her shell a shake busting those pipelines because she’s trying to warn us; but all the people from other directions haven’t been listening.”

Indigenous nations across Turtle Island sign mutual defence treaty to protect against tarsands expansion Chiefs lined up to add their names and their nations to an international alliance that will stop tarsands expansion projects in their traditional territories. The alliance will block all proposed pipeline, tanker, and rail projects affecting indigenous territory, including: TransCanada Energy East project, Kinder Morgan’s TransMountain expansion, Enbridge’s Line 3 and Northern Gateway projects.

Grand Chief of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs Stewart Phillip was also there to endorse the treaty alliance. “In this time of great challenge, we know that other First Nations will sign on,” he said, extending the invitation to Indigenous nations across the continent. “Based on our sovereign, inherent right to self determination, we have collectively decided that we will pick up our sacred responsibilities to the land, waters and people. We will come together in unity and solidarity to protect our territory from the predations of big oil interests, industry and everything that represents.”

Pointing to Standing Rock, Chief Phillip noted that this is a movement that’s already started and continues with great momentum. The Treaty Alliance Against Tarsands Expansion commits to signatories to assist in the battle against tarsands development projects and to work on partnerships to move society towards more sustainable lifestyles.

The Alliance is strategically designed in that dangerous projects will be unable to escape using alternate routes. “We

have the right and the responsibility to stop these major threats our lands, our waters, and our peoples,” said Kanesatake Grand Chief Serge Simon.

“For example, from Quebec, we will work with our First Nation allies in British Columbia to make sure that the Kinder Morgan pipeline does not pass and we know they’ll help us do the same against Energy East.”

Derek Nepinak, Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, is more geared towards cooperating with the Canadian government. “We want to work with the Prime Minister and the government to develop a sustainable economy that does not marginalize our people.

This is a time of great spiritual awakening for our peoples, as we reinvigorate our Nations and ensure a better tomorrow for all.”

However, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Canada’s largest oil and gas lobby group said that the Treaty Alliance will not change the way it’s members “do business” with Indigenous communities. “Our member communities work with First Nations and Metis communities all the time, regularly, and have a long history of doing that,” said Brian McGuigan, CAPP’s manager of aboriginal policy.

“We’ll continue to work with them everyday and have very positive relationships … it’s not always easy conversations, but they continue the dialogue.” This new alliance builds on victories already won by Indigenous nations including a Federal Court of Appeal decision in June that overturned the Harper government’s approval of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, as well as actions that led to US President Barack Obama’s decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline.

American signatories include the Standing Rock Sioux who are currently fighting the TransMountain expansion project,

the Lummi Nation in Washington, White Earth Nation in Minnesota, which has launched legal proceedings against the Enbridge Line 3 project.

Canadian signatories include British Columbia’s Katzie First Nation, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, Wet’su’wet’en First Nation and the Heiltsuk First Nation, amongst many others. “What we are witnessing today was indicated in ancient prophecies that said that all peoples would come together and that convergence was to protect Mother Earth,” said Chief Stewart Phillip.

Organizers realize that their position is forcing the Trudeau government to reanalyze their own position in response to this expression of Indigenous sovereignty. “That’s what we’re trying to do.

We’re trying to make them realize it’s going to be business as usual, and that we’re going to stick together and protect each other, right across the country. This treaty is going to be very significant in the coming years,” said Grand Chief Serge Simon.

Third Party Manager misappropriates $1.2 million from Kasechewan First Nation On Tuesday, the RCMP announced that they have arrested Giuseppe (Joe) Crupi, 50, of Thunder Bay, Ontario, on several counts related to the diversion of $1.2 million from a breakfast program on Kasechewan First Nation towards his own pockets.

Crupi is co-manager of a consulting firm that was hired by Indigenous and

Northern Affairs Canada to be a “third party manager” after they declared the First Nation unable to handle their own funds.

According to the RCMP, Mr. Crupi kept $700,000 but did not explain what happened to the additional $500,000. “The co-manager, Crupi Consulting, made annual applications and reported on, 400 children benefiting from a breakfast program at St. Andrew’s school on reserve between 2005 and 2011.,” said Seargent Penny Hermann. “The RCMP investigation concluded that the service was not provided to the children as reported and the co-manager, Crupi Consulting, personally profited from the contribution funds.”

Auditors alerted the RCMP of the misappropriation of funds in 2012.

They told the RCMP that several Band Councillors had questionable invoices from the Crupi firm, that had been paid by Kasechewan but for which there was no supporting documentation. The RCMP’s serious and organized crime section in Thunder Bay, Ontario, charged Crupi with three counts of uttering forged documents, laundering the proceeds of a crime and possession of property obtained by crime.

Kasechewan is a consistently resilient community that actively survives flooding, inaccess to clean drinking water, improper housing infrastructure, unemployment and a suicide epidemic.

Advocates for the First Nation community in Northern Ontario say that any fraudulent diversion of funds from a community that lives with such problems is a despicable act. “That is a significant amount of money for any

19

community to lose,” said Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler of Nishnawbe Aski Nation. “It is unconscionable for anyone to do this under any circumstances, and especially for a community like Kasechewan where resources for kids are so desperately needed.”

"Crisis of Confidence" in Thunder Bay after police department begins investigation into institutionalized racism

In an unprecedented move, the Thunder Bay police department will be reviewed by the province’s civilian police oversight body because of the ways that they treat the lives and deaths of Indigenous peoples.

“In terms of the action of this relatively new police oversight body, this is precedent setting in the province of Ontario,” said Akwasi Owusu-Bempeh, an assistant professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, who specializes in race, crime and policing. “It is the first time they have investigated an entire police service for institutionalized racism.”

The investigation by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director comes nearly a year after the drowning death of Stacey DeBungee, which was quickly deemed “accidental” by the Thunder Bay Police Department.

The family hired a private investigator shortly after the Thunder Bay police department closed his file. He found several suspicious circumstances, including the use of DeBungee’s bank card days after his death.

“There’s a justice for non-Natives and there’s a justice for Natives — that’s what needs to be addressed,” said DeBungee’s cousin Sonny McGinnis. “There has to be

inclusion of us as worthy citizens. First Nations lives matter.”

The review will also look into “the approach taken to such or similar cases”, indicating that the Office of the Independent Police Review Director has already identified reasons for an intervention. However, following the letter written to the lawyer for Rainy River First Nation, a spokeswoman for the OPIRD said that several steps would have to be undertaken before a formal review can begin.

The police in Ontario have been under the spotlight for bad behaviour since the G20 in Toronto, where arrests and fines were arbitrarily given out, and several lawsuits have followed, and been won by victims of police brutality. This extends to last years shooting of Sammy Yatim in Toronto, Ontario. Closer to home, last month, Thunder Bay police officers were undergoing cultural sensitivity training and the facilitator felt so violated that she had to leave the training session early.

She said that officers were laughing during the presentation, as well as “twirling in their chairs.”

The spokesperson for the Thunder Bay police department said that it was a “misunderstanding”.

Nonetheless, there are countless Indigenous peoples who do not trust police services because of the ways that people are treated while living, much less in the way that they are dying and the ways in which they are treated after they have died. The OPIRD will not be reviewing the Thunder Bay police department in the near future, however it has been identified as needing support for race relations.

McMaster University opens new Indigenous learning space

By Jayson Koblun HAMILTON – McMaster University opened up a new outdoor space last week called the Indigenous Circle, or, Kateweienstha (Learning in the Forest) in Mohawk, and Nibwaajkaawin Teg (Place of Wisdom) in Ojibway.

After a ceremony held on Friday, Sept. 23, the circle is now open for ceremonies, dance, classes, and other uses designed to show the community in and around the university how culturally relevant Indigenous knowledge and education is, and has always been.

Santee Smith, artistic director at Kaha:wi Dance Theatre in Toronto sang and performed at the circle’s opening ceremony with her daughter. She thanked McMaster University for creating the space.

“It was an honour to sing to the land and open the space with good energy with my daughter,” Smith posted on her Facebook page. “Good intentions for this place and the Indigenous Studies department.”

It’s fitting that the two names for the space are Kateweienstha (Learning in the Forest) in Mohawk, and Nibwaajkaawin Teg (Place of Wisdom) in Ojibway, because that’s exactly what the intent for the space is. The stage overlooks the forest by the Cootes Paradise Wetland and features large stone seating in an outdoor ampitheatre style where students and professors will literally be learning in the forest. It’s fitting for it to be called a place of wisdom as well because universities and educational institutes are known for teaching higher education.

McMaster University is known to be an institution that tries to re-establish healing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

“McMaster president Patrick Deane is a great advocate for Indigenous education at the school,” said Christa Jonathan, a student at McMaster from Six Nations. “We’ve spoken before about my ed-

what goes on.

Caledonia's Pro-Fit retrofit paying dividends already

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs fans will have to get used to a lot of new names after almost all of last year’s Sutherland Champions have gone over age or moved on. It shouldn’t take long as the 2016 to 2017 edition Corvairs have been finding their stride right out of the shoot building a 4-1 early season record after this past weekend’s games.

Friday night they ran into a strong performance

by Thorold goaltender Fraser Kirk having to settle for a single point at home at the Haldimand Centre Arena.

The Corvairs and the Thorold Blackhawks played to a 4-4 deadlock that two overtime periods could not break, resulting in a tie, splitting the two points between them, despite outshooting the Blackhawks 54-22.

Dylan Latty was first to score for a 1-0 Thorold lead but Maniro Moro erased that by the end of the first 20-minutes from Holden Hrysko and Austin Ulett.

Twelve seconds into the second period, Kyle West put the Corvairs ahead 2-1 from Brandon Lindberg and Christian Montachino, however, a Thorold powerplay evened the sides again at 6:23. Hold-

en Hrysko scored at 8:28 from Marino Moro and Anton Trublin with a perfectly places long shot to end the second frame with Caledonia leading 3-2.

Brendan D’Agosino evened the score again at 7:07 of the third, but Caledonia’s Austin Ulett found twine with a long wrest shot through traffic from Guy and Christian Polillo at 10:51 to regain the narrow 4-3.

Corvairs’ Erik Nelson was called for crosschecking at 18:03 and at 18:11, the Blackhawks once again tied the game, sending it into four-on-four overtime. There were lots of chances but no pay-dirt for either team and a sec-

ond five-minute three on three period didn’t find a winner either and the game was declared a 4-4 tie.

Saturday, in Ancaster, the “all new” Corvairs continued to grow as a team and rise like cream to the top, moved into a tie with the St. Catharines Avalanche, however St. Kitts hold one game in hand.

The Corvairs took a 2-1 first period lead over the Av’s with goals scored by Bailey Fletcher and Guy Polillo. Zach Bramwell scored between on an Ancaster powerplay.

Holden Hrysko and Guy Polillo accounted for the only two goals of the second giving the Corvairs a

three goal lead, heading into the third with a 4-1 cushion.

Zach Lawrence scored the last Ancaster goal of the night 14:10 before pulling the goalie for an extra man. That move opened the net for Fletcher who scored his second of the game with goalie Graham Dynes watching from the bench for the 5-2 final score.

Guy Polillo leads the Corvairs in scoring with four goals and six assists in six games played so far, two on the powerplay.

This week’s games start with two at home, include a Friday night dance with the Fort Erie Meteors at the Haldimand Arena at

7:30 p.m.. They will have to contain the Meteors’ Andrew Somerville who is off to a great start with four goals and 10 assists, and Daylon Grouix with eight goals and five assist.

The Buffalo Regals visit the Haldimand Centre Arena Saturday night bringing with them a dismal 0-7 record as they seek their first win of the season against the odds on favourites to take an unprecedented four straight Sutherland Cups, but that is a long way away with lots of hockey yet to be played.

Polillos power Corvair’s Brantford Connection

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs’ “Brantford Connection” is already paying dividends with only a handful of games played in the 2016 GOJHL Jr. B hockey schedule. The line of Guy Polillo, Christian Polillo and Evan Bidenti, all acquired from the Brantford ‘99ers, have been lighting it up for the Corvairs so far.

Corvairs’ general manager Brian Rizzetto is very familiar with the Polillo name. Living in Brantford during the early 1990s he was well acquainted with the Toronto Maple Leaf and Calgary Flames affiliate, Colonial Hockey League, Brantford Smoke. The steady star of that franchise was Paul Polillo, Guy and Christian’s dad.

Both boys literally grew up in arenas and around a high level of hockey.

Paul was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1988 but chose instead to go to university, attending classes at the University of Western Michigan and playing for

Brothers Guy and Christian Polillo will be a big part of the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs' quest for an unimaginable fourth straight Sutherland Cup this year. The Polillos have come from the fledgling Brantford '99ers franchise. They are on a line with fellow former 99'er, Evan Bidenti. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE their hockey team. While at UWM, he scored 82 goals, 189 assists for 217 points. As a part of the Brantford Smoke, Polillo Sr. scored 295 goals, 628 assists for a Colonial Hockey League record 923 career points.

The Brantford '99ers can't buy a win

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – The Polillo-less Brantford ‘99ers dropped three more games this past week in the GOJHL Jr. B schedule. They lost 3-1 to Guelph Thursday, 5-2 to the Stratford Warriors (formerly the Cullitons) at the Gretzky Centre in Brantford Saturday, followed by a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Waterloo Siskins in Waterloo.

A three-goal Waterloo outburst in the second period sunk the ‘99er who ran neck and neck with the Siskins throughout the first and third periods. Shots on goal were virtually even at 36-35.

Sunday’s game in Waterloo was much closer, but still no cigar as the ‘99ers lost 4-3. In this one

a scoreless third period proved to be the difference for Brantford.

The ‘99ers are in last place in the Midwestern conference with one point due to an OT loss.

The Cambridge Winterhawks will be visiting the Brantfo0rd and District Civic Centre this coming Thursday, Sept.

29th and on Tuesday, Oct. 4th, they face the Dutchmen in Kitchener.

One thing both of Paul’s boys have that he didn’t is size. Twenty-year-old Guy at 6’2” and weighs in at 180 pounds, while his 18-year-old brother is also 6’2” and comes in at 175 pounds.

That’s the kind of pedigree the Polillo boys bring to the table every game, and as Rizzetto has said, he also knows what kind of young men they are, on and off the ice.

Evan Bidenti completes the Brantford connection where he scored

five goals and assisted on six playing a limited role in 2014 to 2015. 2014 to 2015 saw him playing in the NOJHL with the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners gathering 26 points in the regular season and six more in the playoffs.

“Oh, yah the atmosphere here is really good,” said Guy following Friday night’s 4-4 tie against the Thorold Blackhawks. “It’s completely different here. It’s a winning atmosphere and we got a pretty good

team this year, there’s some really good talent here and the coaches have a positive mindset.

There’s higher expectations here, having won the Sutherland Cup for the last three years and its fun to play that way.

I’m really enjoying it so far.”

Chris is glad to be playing on a line with Bidenti too.

“I played with Evan all the way up through minor hockey,” he said.

The Brantford Connec-

tion isn’t the only good news in a 2016 to 2017 lineup made up of pretty well all new faces. There are several other diamonds in the rough who promise to be emerging more and more as the chemistry begins to jell.

Despite all the new blood, the Corvairs are already focused on keeping the Sutherland Cup in Caledonia for a few more years.
