Ava Hill seeking second term as Chief By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN — Incumbent (previously elected) Elected Chief Ava Hill is tossing her “red hat” into the ring again for the 57th Elected Administrative Council. She will be running against former Elected Chief William Montour and Cynthia Jamieson. Although the official list comes out Saturday, after nominees accept the nomination, are vetted and have filed the proper documents, Hill confirms she will run. “I’m running again because a lot of people have been telling me I should,” she explains to Two Row Times. She believes that although proud of the accomplishments of the past

three years, she see’s a lot of things still undone, which she would like to continue to push ahead. “We still have to get the water line piping and infrastructure done,” she says. “We have to keep at that so eventually the whole community has services.” Education is still on her to-do list. “We are still struggling with the education issue,” she adds. “We need to put our heads together and figure out what we are going to do there. There are a number of issues we need to continue forward with.” Her immediate battle is with Ontario Hydro, in talks surrounding billing on Six Nations, remuneration of the electricity towers running through the reserve, and the sale to Six

Nations of a portion of Hydro One. Elected Chief Hill says she wants to continue working with economic development corporation in finding new sources of revenue for the community as well. “We’re trying to get into more partnerships and businesses, and we have to finish off our child welfare designation, the Save the Evidence campaign at the Mush Hole to make sure it is renovated for the museum.” The past three years with Hill as Elected Chief Councillor, has seen some changes evident today at Six Nations. “Just look around downtown Ohsweken and you will see that there has been a lot of infrastruc-

ture projects,” she points out. “Our director of public works has tallied it up and says we were able to bring in more than $12 million for several infrastructure projects.” She lists the opening of the new fire hall, thanks to G.R.E., we’ve opened Dajoh, the new Elder and Youth Centre, two new bridges, resurfacing several roads, and laying water mains, new stop sign locations, the new Splash Pad and Skateboard Park and others. Hill has also been very active with speaking engagements and in supporting the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, and residential school survivors, among many other things. She has invited a parade of government officials, in-

cluding Caroline Bennett from the province and the federals to discuss matters important to the community and Canada’s entire indigenous population at large. She has also been a part of several trips to Ottawa to lobby on Six Nations behalf. Regarding the future under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s watch, Hill is pleased with the words he is saying and the full acceptance of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Residential Schools Inquiry conducted by Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair, and other issues including a moratorium on new water extraction rights. But, promises to keep his feet to the fire on many other issues

brought to him by the Indigenous community. Ava says that she made several attempts to find reconciliation with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs, and that she commits to continue trying to find some common ground that will better represent the entire community. She says she hopes to make headway on this subject as well, if re-elected. Three years ago, Hill won her seat by a microscopic two votes over her predecessor Bill Montour, who has re-entered the political forum seeking another term as Elected Chief. His interview will appear in next week’s Two Row Times, along with that of challenger Cynthia Jamieson, the third contender.

Spirit Halloween vows to keep racist costumes on their shelves By TRT staff The question as to why stores are continuing to sell culturally inappropriate costumes today is simply that; why? Should a business really risk taking the chance at offending one, several or hundreds of people so they can make an extra dollar? Spirit Halloween, a seasonal pop-up store that sells costumes, make-up, props and other related items, has decided that they will not be removing the allegedly racist and inappropriate indigenous costumes from their shelves this year. "Since 1983, at Spirit Halloween, we have offered a wide and balanced range of Halloween costumes that are inspired by, celebrate and appreciate numerous cultures, make believe themes and literary figures," a spokesperson from the company said in a statement to CBC News last week. "We have not directed any of our Spirit Halloween stores to remove indigenous-themed costumes from our shelves, nor do we plan to have these costumes removed." The chain has been accused of selling cultural inappropriate in the past;

costumes such as “Indian Princess”, “Reservation Royalty” and “Indian Warrior” are just some that are and have been available. With the problem of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls at epidemic levels in Canada, it is worth a closer inspection to see what the protestors are saying. At a Spirit Halloween store in Regina last week, individuals who are standing against cultural inappropriate costumes placed warning labels on the costumes’ packaging suggesting that customers avoid contact with the materials inside. Staff at the store later removed the labels. "We do not tolerate the act of defacing our products, regardless of the theme or culture repre-

sented," a spokesperson from the store said in a statement last Tuesday. The CBC said that Spirit Halloween refused to release sales details that would indicate how popular an item the costumes are at its stores. When choosing a Halloween costume this year, here are some questions to ask yourself to help ensure you are not committing misappropriation: 1. Is your costume racially, ethnically, or culturally based? If it is, then it’s probably racist or straddling a very thin line of racism. 2. Do you belong to that group of people? If you don’t, remember that you can’t just borrow someone else’s culture or race for a day. 3. Is your costume funny or sexy? A harsh majority of humorous or erotic costumes are of marginalized and oppressed groups of people and can be deemed inappropriate. 4. Would you wear that costume around that group of people? If a Muslim family were to welcome you into their home, would you wear your Arab Terrorist costume? What about wearing your Geisha costume within a group Japanese friends?

Another victim of 'healer' comes forward By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS – Six Nations Police say another woman has come forward alleging sexual abuse at the hands of a traditional healer. Ronald Dennis Henry was previously arrested in July on similar sex as-

sault charges. He was released on bail in that case. The new allegations mark the fourth victim to come forward. Henry was arrested and charged last week on those new allegations. Police said Henry is accused of using fear and

manipulation focusing on his victims traditional beliefs to gain control. He is charged five new charges including Sexual Assault and Sexual Assault with a Weapon. Details on a court appearance were not released.

Lee’s gas tax collection still a mystery By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – According to the province, Lee’s Variety and Gas Bar located on Highway 54, the Ontario Certificate of Exemption (the white card) is no longer accepted for tax exemption on gasoline. Brian Farmer, owner and operator of Lee’s Variety, says he is at a loss as to why he alone was targeted while none of the other gas bars within the

Six Nations reserve territory have been ordered to remit provincial taxes. “I don’t really know why,” say Farmer. “I got a message one day that I am under audit and that I had to start charging provincial tax.” Farmer has recently spent several thousand dollars converting his pump stations to meet Shell standards and adding a weather roof and new signage.

He is launching a legal challenge, but in the meantime, his gas sales and spin-off convenience store sales have taken a big hit. The other not affected gas stations along Highway 54 are bleeding off his usual clientele, and he may not get them back. “Now, my sales are down because of the tax,” he says. “This isn’t fair at all, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to everyone here.”

Make Six Nations Grand Again Editorial by Jonathan Garlow OK — this is pretty complicated subject matter. We as indigenous people have no obligation to be coherent to our guest nations but, let’s take a look at the situation at hand. North American democracy seems crazy. Look at what is going on right now in the U.S. and the burden of the voter who has to choose between a privileged narcissist and a privileged criminal to run their country in a few short weeks. Who decided that a four-year reign, based upon popularity, is the proper way to run a government? Why do we as indigenous people keep accepting the premise of our visitors? The founding fathers of America based their rebel government on the Haudenosaunee but messed it up. True democracy — the kind the world has yet to grasp, was brought to indigenous people by the Peacemaker many centuries ago. It is called the GAYANESHAKGOWA or the Great Peace, to many, and it worked very well for a very long time. Then a condoled royanni (chief) named Deskaheh went to the U.N. to seek justice. Canada was terrified that they were almost exposed on the international scene and just barely managed to blackball Deskaheh at Geneva, and then banned him from ever returning to his homeland on occupied Canadian soil. The egalitarian government that Deskaheh represented was repressed in 1924 when Canadian RCMP broke every international treaty to sack the traditional Grand River government. The “Queen’s People” stole Six Nations wampum, paper documents and gold bullion according to royanni Cleveland General. Some might point out that the first call for Six Nations Elections 1861 according to author and anthropologist Sally Weaver, who wrote that the Confederacy was corrupted and had political opposition for other reasons. Anyways, now in 2016, approximately 10 per cent of the Six Nations population votes for that installed

government every three years. These hostile settler politics are called the Elected Council system. Twelve Councillors and one Chief Councillor for a total of 13 officials to appease the public and the Canadian state. Those with long memories call them the “Administrative body”. To be clear, many families rely on Elected Council jobs and we are not criticizing any individuals or families here — we recognize the survival mode we endure as a nation and as a people. But do not forget Six Nations Elected Council is a foreign system validated by consensual participation of these very same 1,200 people term after term. Although technically a perfect form of governance as it comes to respecting relationship and autonomy, the Great Peace seems to be incompatible with debt in the form of promissory notes – a.k.a. money. We were a paperless society and a debtless society thousands of years before Columbus got lost. Our Mayan cousins invented the clock, but since our young European brother brought the pocket watch with them, time has become money and we can’t change that. It’s now our responsibility as indigenous people to interface our traditional values with materialistic society without becoming corrupted. That’s what decolonizing is all about. Exploring, understanding and integrating indigenous cultural history and ideology — our legacy — into our modern society. It needs to be deliberate and intentional. Let’s get rid of the defeatist mentalities and remember who we truly are. This underlines the need to look to the academic leaders of Six Nations such as Rick Hill, and Dr. Dawn Martin-Hill who are able to translate the past so we can properly assess our current political position. Together, shoulder-to-shoulder as a community we should be able to navigate the “fog of war” so to speak and find the final destination that our ancestors had in mind when they arranged those very first treaties with our esteemed guests so many hundreds of years ago.

Statement from the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Each year, I release a report on the state of public health in Canada. This year, I have chosen to focus on family violence in Canada. Family violence is not just about physical abuse. It comes in many forms, including sexual, emotional and financial abuse, as well as neglect. The statistics are staggering:

– In Canada, every day, just over 230 Canadians are reported as victims of family violence. – In 2014, 57,835 girls and women were victims of family violence — accounting for seven out of every 10 reported cases. Every four days a woman is killed by a family member. – Between 2004 and 2014, half of child victims of family-related homicide (160) were under the age of four. – Population surveys tell us that a third of Ca-

nadians, that is nine million people, have reported experiencing abuse before they were 15 years old – About 760,000 Canadians reported experiencing unhealthy spousal conflict, abuse or violence in the last five years. – In 2014, indigenous people were murdered at a rate six times higher than non-indigenous Canadians, with indigenous women being three times more likely to report spousal abuse than non-Indigenous women. – Every day, eight seniors are victims of family violence.

This is a serious public health issue in Canada — one that can have long-lasting and widespread effects on the health of individuals, families and communities. The health impacts of family violence extend far beyond physical injuries and include poor mental health, psychological and

emotional distress, suicide, and increased risk of chronic diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. We know that for a variety of reasons, family violence is under-reported. Some victims are not aware that what they are experiencing is family violence, or they may be too afraid or humiliated to speak to someone. We don't yet know enough about what makes some families violent and not others, or effective methods to prevent family violence. Healthy families are the backbone of a prosperous society. With this in mind, I invite all Canadians to join me in addressing the fear and stigma that keep us from understanding and ultimately preventing family violence. We need to talk about it. Dr. Gregory Taylor Chief Public Health Officer of Canada

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks The Path Begins: Reconciliation and standing as one By Rachel A. Snow Imagine camps along a flowing riverbed with children playing, elders and families talking, eating and laughing. Forests stand tall and proud providing shade, fuel and shelter for the people. The land is rocky, sandy, grassy, or wide open. The plants and animals roam freely following a greater plan. The people wake and pray giving thanks for all the life around them. This is not what the first settlers saw. They saw a lawless land, ripe for “progress”. They did not see that the original people were applying the true laws of the land, the laws respecting Creator and Creation. Fast forward to the treaties of peace and friendship, treaty alliances to secure the “rule” of a foreign people, and the new approaches once this foreign people became the “rulers” of Turtle Island. The original people, once so necessary for survival and necessary for alliances are now “the Indian problem”. What is the solution: assimilate or terminate.

Changing Paths

How has the relationship between the original U.K. crown and their successor state changed with the original nations who still occupy Turtle Island? The relationship has not changed. Each year successor state governments make grandiose announcements about new relationship building, nation-to-nation talks and the latest “reconciliation”. Mainstream has named the original people as Indians, then savages, then Indians and then Aboriginal, now moving towards “the indigenous”. Why are there continued misunderstandings about the unique nations that have always occupied this

land? The non-first nation people who ventured to the new world came from lands where hierarchical governments ruled. Ordinary man could not upset the balance of his reality. In North America, it was seen that any man could make his mark. Thus begins the fight to break free of European control and to create something unique on this continent. However, since the comparators of the new settler are only government hierarchies, where would a new governance model be found? The unlikely source came from the original people specifically the Haudenosaunee. Is this common knowledge in the United States or Canada? There have been many valuable contributions made by the indigenous. True sustainability is the way the indigenous lived, respecting the land, water and environment. Without this respect and stewardship, changes that affect all people and all land or water will continue. Currently climate change is challenging not only the landscape of the “new” countries, but also the global landscape. If one looks south across the medicine line, there is a sovereignty and climate change battle being waged. In Cannonball or Sacred Stone Camp, South Dakota, the Standing Rock Sioux are standing against Energy Transfer Partners and the Dakota Access Pipeline. This proposed pipeline could potentially affect the Missouri river and the hundreds of people, animals and agricultural land that rely on clean water. Gatherings of indigenous people and allies have gone to Sacred Stone Camp to lend their support on this issue. The support has been in prayers, assistance for food, clothing or lodging. This event at Standing Rock has gained

Mainstream has named the original people as Indians, then savages, then Indians and then Aboriginal, now moving towards “the indigenous”. Why are there continued misunderstandings about the unique nations that have always occupied this land?" a global audience. It is interesting that mainstream media is not covering this environmental battle. The original people, the first people of the land are standing with stewardship obligations and fulfilling their purpose by opposing the development. The Sioux people have a prophecy that a black snake would come to destroy the land and water, so they are standing against this pipeline snake that will destroy life for all people. Instead of covering this issue, the visionary issue that indigenous people see, it seems mainstream media is determined to cover inanities such as celebrity break-ups over real issues. Why? Is it because covering this indigenous issue to save the water and stop corporate control will expose the true nature of this new “democratic” way of life? In the European countries, where Canadians and Americans have their roots, the hierarchies and greed of the few became the revolutionary impetus for the masses. In Canada, and America control of government has just changed from an historic aristocracy to a corporate aristocracy. Where is this evident? Witness Trudeau’s approval of the LNG line and the issuance of permits for Site C in British Colombia. Witness the lack of Mainstream media coverage and the need for a national guard in Standing Rocky to quell the “Indian uprising”. If one looks with a visionary lens at current

conflicts and thinks back to the original intent of “civilizing” this land, is there any difference? The indigenous still protect the land and waters. The settler invaders are still trying to further their greedy coffers. Have 500 years of “progress” taught these newcomers nothing? The land and water are not to be destroyed for the greedy pockets of a few corporate people. Please

don’t use the economic argument. Some people will have jobs, yes, but corporations will still avoid paying taxes so these scant jobs will again pay for the rich. If the rich are in trouble, expect governments to step in with bailouts. I know the colonial minds are rapidly spinning saying these things are not related because they think in boxed compartments.

The indigenous believe we are all related. All things matter because all things are related. We live on the same land, we breath the same air, we drink the same water. What we do affects Creation. Until the settler invader understands that “progress” has limits, the earth, land and water will suffer. If one is so greedy that they need everything here and now, what happens when they die? Do they take anything with them? Is it the knowledge that their “legacy of control” continues beyond them? I would rather leave my grandchildren with the legacy of hope and of an actual future then trying to control my “power” into the future.

Mythbusters: Impaired Driving not worse on reserve By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS – We’ve all heard the rumours. Usually it takes place in whispers by the family in the booth behind you at breakfast, or in the cubicle next door at work. “Don’t drive on the reserve on the weekend. There’s too many drunks. It’s too dangerous.” Sadly, this is a widely upheld belief throughout our local area. However it

is largely incorrect. Let’s look at the local statistics. In 2015 — Six Nations Police logged 41 calls reporting a suspected drunk driver. Six Nations Police Chief Glenn Lickers said officers pursued and made nine arrests for impaired driving. One out of the nine charged was not a band member or resident of the territory. The remaining eight were band mem-

bers and residents of Six Nations. In contrast — Brantford Police logged 84 impaired drivers in 2015. By residency; 60 were from Brantford, five were in Brant County, one was from Six Nations and 18 were from other areas in Ontario including Kitchener-Waterloo, Woodstock, Hamilton and Toronto. Taking percentages into account — the rate of

DUI on Six Nations versus that of Brantford is actually less by about .02 per cent — with Brantford at 0.09 per cent and Six Nations at 0.07 per cent for that year. What does that mean? Statistically speaking DUIs are not more common on Six Nations of the Grand River territory than in a normal, neighbouring town, like say — Brantford. In fact, Six Nations is

below the provincial statistic for DUI arrests. A federal study done in 2011 shows 17,326 DUI charges were laid in Ontario making the provincial rate 0.13 per cent. This is nearly double the rate of DUI arrests and charges laid at Six Nations of the Grand River territory. So what does this mean? First of all — be safe everywhere you go. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t text and drive. Don’t drive high. All of the above. Driving on Six Nations of the Grand River roads can be challenging. It is a lot darker than other places, speed limits are higher and surrounding wildlife can pop out of the bushes at any time — day or night. But in terms of drinking and driving being “worse on the rez” than anywhere else, the evidence seems to say that this is not true. According to Ottawa, provincial numbers across the board for DUI

charges are all doing better. In a 2011 federal statistic study Ontario reported the least amount of impaired driving arrests in Canada. And the rates in Ontario have continued to decline since 2006. Impaired driving rates are highest in persons 20 to 24 years old. The rate of female impaired drivers has increased while the rate of male impaired has decreased. For example in 2011, one in every six DUI arrests was female. Back in 1986, one in every 13 was female. This is locally noted as well. Brantford Police reported a marked increase in female arrests in 2015. According to the federal study Halloween is the worst time of the year for DUI. So make plans this coming weekend to stay safe. Have a sober, designated driver. Keep the number of a local cab company and cab fare available if you’re headed out. And know your limits.

Is America becoming a fascist state? By Jim Windle WASHINGTON D.C. — The American presidential campaign is one of the most divisive forces since the civil war. The main mandate and target of the republican party since Democrat Barack Obama became the first black president in its history, has been to block any programs or ideas he may bring forward. Then, at election time they can use the lame duck president argument against Hilary Clinton the democrats. To this regard, the plan has worked like a charm, but while focusing on getting the Democrats out of the White House, the republicans traded common sense for an “anyone but Clinton” movement, which has produced the perfect environment for a largerthan-life candidate in Billionaire, Donald J. Trump, a vocal critic and high profile enemy of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and now, Hilary Clinton. Although there have

been signs of it in the past here in the western world, Trump has focused his arrogant, blustery style and corporate-friendly economic policies into something dangerously close to fascism. So, what is fascism? According to a number of dictionaries, fascism is: An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy, nationalism, jingoism (extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy), isolationism, neofascism, neo-Nazism. The architect of fascism was Italian leader and recipient of Adolf Hitler’s envy and respect, Bonito Mussolini, described it this way. “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” Isaac Chotiner, a histori-

an of fascism was recently asked by Robert Paxton, another leading authority on the history of fascism, “what do you make of Trump’s rise?” His answer was shocking. “First of all, there are the kinds of themes Trump uses,” he says. ‘The use of ethnic stereotypes and exploitation of fear of foreigners is directly out of a fascist’s recipe book. ’Making the country great again’ sounds exactly like the fascist movements. Concern about national decline, that was one of the most prominent emotional states evoked in fascist discourse, and Trump is using that fullblast, quite illegitimately, because the country isn’t in serious decline, but he’s able to persuade them that it is. That is a fascist stroke. An aggressive foreign policy to arrest the supposed decline. That’s another one. Then, there’s a second level, which is a level of style and technique. He

even looks like Mussolini in the way he sticks his lower jaw out, and also the bluster, the skill at sensing the mood of the crowd, the skillful use of media.” Trump arriving for a political speech, his camp arranged recently in an airplane hangar. With pomp and circumstance, he landed his plane at the field and taxied up to the hangar and got out to the cheers of his followers. “That is exactly what they did in 1932 for Hitler’s first election victory,” says Chotiner. “The decisiveness of power, of authority, of modernity, and the capacity of Trump to enlist working-class voters against the left is exactly what Hitler and Mussolini were able to do. There are definitely echoes.” The fear mongering is also an earmark. Despite what Trump and the Republicans are trumpeting, this country has the strongest economy in the world and is still the strongest military power in the world.

Like the argument of Hitler and Mussolini, Trump is saying that the existing government is weak, and therefore, we must have a government that is appropriate to the grandeur of America. The portrayal of Obama as weak, which is astonishing considering the degree to which Obama has used military power. “While I watched the primaries, I thought of the 1932 election in Germa-

ny,” says Chotiner, “with everyone kind of thinking, depending on their interests, that there were bigger threats than Hitler and not focusing on him until it was too late.” Hilary has her own issues, and lots of them, that if anyone other than Trump had gotten the republican ticket, the republicans would have a much easier time getting back into the White House.

Fire under investigation By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS — The Ontario Fire Marshall is investigating another structure Fire on Six Nations. Firefighters battled flames at a utility shed on Third Line last Monday. The building housed a number of electrical panels and natural gas meters for a commercial

Key evidence compromised in Boushie case By Nahnda Garlow

REGINA — A lawyer representing the family of Colten Boushie says the SUV involved in the man’s shooting death has been compromised, potentially destroying key evidence in the case. The SUV was originally parked outside in a towing company parking lot on September 12th and just one day later to a salvage yard for auction. Police said a blood splatter analysis had not been performed on the vehicle. Boushie’s family have publicly criticized police

officials for racist treatment in the case. Boushie’s mother said in an interview with the Globe and Mail that nearly 12 armed officers came to deliver the news of Boushies death, then searched her home and accused her of being drunk. The entire province entered heated racial arguments across social media in the days following Boushies death. The shooter, Gerald Stanley, has plead not guilty to second degree murder. He is currently free on bail.

Victoria Stafford killer refused appeal By Nahnda Garlow TORONTO — The man convicted in the murder death of eight year old Victoria Stafford has been refused an appeal. Michael Rafferty brought his case to the Ontario court of appeal Monday. Rafferty’s lawyer argued the judge made significant errors in the first trial. Appeal Court Justice refused the request saying, he simply doesn’t agree. Rafferty was sentenced in 2012 to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

SIX NATIONS – Six Nations could be a part of a collective group of province-owned Hydro One shares by the end of 2017; no decisions were made to join the collective at last night’s elected general council meeting and it is unsure at this point how the deal may directly benefit Six Nations. Grand Chief Gord Peters and First Nation Legal Council Sara Mainville came to the meeting on October 25 to discuss the soon-to-be-proposed deal which, at-a-glance, almost guarantees at least $97 million be given to and divided up among the First Nations communities of Ontario and has long term goals of more than $1 billion being earned throughout several years. “The province is broadening the ownership of Hydro One Limited through a series of share offerings to the public,” said Peters, reading from a PowerPoint presentation. The Province has indicated that it will sell up to 60 per cent of it’s Hydro One shares and offer First Nations communities in Ontario the opportunity to purchase up to 15 million

common shares of Hydro One. To purchase almost 15 million shares at $18 per share, a loan of $268 million would be lent to the Ontario First Nations Sovereign Wealth Limited Partner (OFNSWLP), which is an entity composed of the Ontario First Nations Power Holdings Limited Partner and Ontario First Nations Capital Wealth Fund Limited Partner. Only OFNSWLP would be responsible for paying back the debt; the loan term is 25 years. “The deal would be financed by the Province and a seed capital of up to $45 million for collective investment purposes and promoting wealth creation for First Nations would be distributed,” said Peters. Mainville said that the seed capital of $45 million would only be distributed if the Chiefs of Ontario are able to bring all First Nations communities on board with the deal. If less than 100 per cent are on board, the seed capital is going to be less than $45 million; if less than 80 per cent of First Nations communities are on board — there is no deal being offered. “That’s why we’re gong

around now trying to bring up the discussion because we want to close the deal by December, 2017,” said Peters. “We know all communities will have a lot to discuss — I’ve been telling people who are ready to sign-up already to wait until an actual agreement has been put forward.” Peters encouraged elected council to talk to the community and prepare themselves to discuss the agreement when it is finished and presented hopefully in June or July 2017. One of the obligations, or ‘catch’ of the deal, is, before a First Nation community can sign up for the deal, it is mandatory that they agree to never initiate any court proceedings or take any other legal action against the Province’s long-term goal of the privatization of Hydro One. If 100 per cent of the First Nation communities join the deal, and one community enters legal action against the Province, an indemnity would be triggered in favour of the province against all communties. “We have until June to discuss this before any decisions need to be made,” said Elected Chief Ava Hill.

There be giants in the land: hoax or science By Jim Windle Reports of unearthing remains of humanoid giants have been floating around for generations and centuries, but since the early 1800s, when archaeology was in its early childhood, more and more fossil hunters have been digging up more than dinosaur bones. Admittedly, a number of reports have since

proven to be frauds or hoaxes, from an era when PT Barnum and others were making fortunes on circus Freak Shows. But some evidence still remain in the curiosities files in museum basements in almost every continent on the planet. German archaeologist and lecturer Klaus Dona is one of the world’s most prolific and passionate scientists to report on

the existence of an ancient race of giants that once roamed the earth, and that includes North America. He is not alone as more and more scientific thought has been afforded dozens of examples of unexplained giant human bones found a very deep depths and in ancient caves and sink holes, even in recent years. Once again, as those

Volunteer Board Members Needed

The Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Board of Directors presently has 6 voting members and wishes to add two more. Terms of office are for two and three year terms. Board members meet monthly the third Tuesday of the month from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Additional meetings may be called when needed. If you are interested in applying for a position on the board please pick up an application package at the front desk of the school. Applications are being received up to November 4, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. The Board of Directors governs the overall execution of the school’s vision, mandate and belief. The Board manages the school’s finances and sets long term priorities for programs and services. Additionally, the Board oversees the Principal, who is responsible for day-to-day management and operations of the school. Overall, the members of the Board contribute the educational, management, legal, and financial skills needed to ensure long term stability of the school. Declaration of Candidacy Board positions require a time and energy commitment that should not be underestimated. Candidates are urged to consider personal priorities for the next year as well as the ways to contribute to the development of the school. Regular attendance at meetings is a necessity since the board is working diligently to get a new school built.

who have unearthed extremely old stone tools in North and South America have found, the western scientific community is a very hard nut to crack. They seem to be bound to their accepted norms and too often will not deviate from “the code” even in the face of new or strange discoveries for fear of being ridiculed and shamed as a charlatan. “I don’t want to fight with the scientists, but I think they should open their eyes research some of our findings,” says Dona. “They might discover many strange things.” Giants are recorded in the Bible in a rather matter of fact way, as if the people of the day fully accepted that as true. In Genesis chapter six it tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards.”. This one little verse says quite a lot, according to Dona. It’s not just biblical references. Stories of giants are commonplace in ancient societies around the world. There are more examples, but many of these references have been explained away by revisionist scholars and clergy alike. But what does one do about those finds that still remain unexplained? One such collection of giant bones was found in the estate of the late Father Carlos Vaca. Anatomists identified one of them as a section (occipital) of a human skull. They believe that anoth-

Judging by its size, it would have belonged to a giant human or primate. In its lifetime, it would have been an unbelievable 7.50 metres tall. “The skeletons show no signs of diseases such as the hormonal growth problems that are common in most cases of gigantism. In all the skeletons, the joints seemed healthy and lung cavity appeared large. One of the skeletons that we have dated was of a female who was about 60 when she died, much older than typical cases of gigantism,” reports Cuenca Highlife magazine. So where are these

amazing finds today? A story was circulated that the Smithsonian Museum called in or bought up all relics of giants from museums and collections around the world and have them locked away. This rumour was debunked several times, along with a letter from the Smithsonian officially denying these rumours as internet drivel. But those who believe in giants say the museum is itself coordinating a covert cover-up. National Geographic published a story in 2012 about a find in Italy, near Rome, that has today’s scholars curious. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Grade 8 student tells federal minister he teaches indigenous language course The Canadian Press

VICTORIA — A Grade 8 student stunned a gathering of national aboriginal leaders and the federal indigenous affairs minister Monday by saying he volunteered to become his

school's indigenous language teacher after one too many berry-picking field trips. Tim Masso, 13, said he asked school officials if he could help teach the indigenous studies course at Ucluelet Secondary School

on British Columbia's west coast even though he is still learning the Nuuchah-nulth language. Masso said he has designed flash cards so he and his class of 23 students in grades 8 to 10 can learn the indigenous language.

He was among people asking questions after Indigenous Affairs Minister Carol Bennett spoke at an Assembly of First Nations annual meeting. Masso's voice choked with emotion as he explained his despair signing

up for an indigenous language course at his high school but instead being sent out to pick berries. ``The next week we just kept picking berries and they just chucked them out,'' he told about 200 people at the Songhees Wellness Centre. `Ì said, 'Do you want me to do the language because it doesn't really look like we're doing it.''' Masso said he suggested bringing elders from his community to help with the classes. `Ìt would be great if we had elders there,'' he said. `Ì don't know. I can't really do the language because I'm still learning and if we had the elders there we could do it. It's just silly.'' School District 70 superintendent Greg Smith

said the high school in Ucluelet has a Nuu-chahnulth studies course for students in grades 8 to 10, but the course is a general studies class and not strictly a language course. Smith said students in the class have a broad knowledge of indigenous culture and issues but Masso is far ahead of most students when it comes to language so the school enlisted him to help with the language portions of the class. Bennett said she admired Masso's efforts and wants to see improvements in indigenous education opportunities across Canada. ``You are a very powerful person,'' she said. ``I will need your help in getting this right.''

The Unity Tree is a powerful symbol reminding everyone that bullying can be prevented when we all come together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. Creating a Unity Tree is an interactive and hands-on activity, a shared experience in which anyone can participate and everyone can watch the tree grow. Each person contributes their own unique experiences, creative ideas, and strategies by writing positive messages on leaves that are attached to the tree. As the number of leaves increases, it creates a visual reminder, demonstrating that when we are united we can create social change.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. On the classroom wall or bulletin board, create the trunk of a tree, along with branches, with construction paper or materials of your own choosing. 2. Next, cut out leaf shaped pieces below or your own of orange paper. Make them large enough to write a message. Here are three options for types of messages, or create your own: If you planted a seed, what would you tell your seed about bullying? What can you do change/impact your schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture about bullying? How can you support a friend/peer who is being bullied? 3. Have each student write down their response on a leaf and attach each of the leaves to the tree.

Continued from page 14 “At six feet eight inches (202 centimetres) tall, the man would have been a giant in third-century A.D. Rome, where men averaged about 5 and a half feet (167 centimetres) tall. By contrast, today's tallest man measures eight feet three inches (251 centimetres),” says the article. Although by today’s standards, a 6’ 8” human is not all that hard to find. A good number of NBA players measure in at around that height. But by the standards of a 5’6” average Roman man, 6’ 8” would have seemed to be giant-like. There is a 1912 dig site at Lake Delavan, which was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds that proved to be classic examples of eighth century Woodland Culture. But the enormous size of the skeletons and elongated skulls found in May 1912 did not fit very neatly into anyone's concept

Celebrating Health and Well-Being

of a textbook standard. They were enormous. These were not average human beings, according to reports of the day. Also in 1912, the New York Times reported that 18 skeletons found by the Paterson brothers on Lake Lawn Farm in southwest Wisconsin exhibited several strange and freakish features. Their heights ranged between 7.6 feet tall and 10 feet tall and their skulls "presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads of any race which inhabit America today." They tend to have a double row of teeth, six fingers, six toes and, like humans, came in different races. The teeth in the front of the jaw are regular molars. Heads usually found are elongated believed due to longer than normal life span. Tools found on Manitoulin Island by Dr. Thomas Lee in the 1970s made from quarts were independently dated to

be as ancient as 100,000 to 300,000 years old. They show definite signs of use as a scraper tool, with purposely crafted cutting edges. This presented a problem for Dr. Lee. If authentic, who would be big or strong enough to use them? For that reason, the western archeological community rejected his finds as frauds. But were they? The tools were found right across from a channel to an island the local Indigenous people named “Giant Island.” Brantford’s Ilse Kraemer has several of these large quartz hand tools. She worked with the late Dr. Lee and brought some of these finds home with her. One must wonder how much can they lift if twice the size of an average human today. Could these Giants the Bible and many other civilizations have in their history and folklore?

The story of Chanie Wenjack, the Ojibwe boy who died in 1966 after running away from an Ontario residential school, has been making news recently — this year marks the 50th anniversary of his death. Writer Joseph Boyden and others are taking the opportunity this year to honour his memory and family through several different projects. "His voice really does come to me in this beautiful, quiet way," Boyden told the CBC. Boyden has written a new novella titled Wenjack, a story that describes the journey that led to Wenjack’s death through the eyes of woodland animals and creatures that watched him as he ran from the residential school. “I hear his [Wenjack’s] voice, but he’s only 12; he’s got a very limited view of the world,” said Boyden. “His view of the world is not as big as it needed to be.

to be a punch in the gut.” Boyden said that he started to write the novella in an omniscient voice and began to use the word “we” as he spoke of Wenjack’s journey. Boyden later realized that the “we” in his writing was actually coming from a crow, that was speaking about it saw as Wenjack ran. “[Eventually] the crow passed the baton on to an owl, and later a wood tick

shows up and attaches itself to Chanie,” Boyden said, stating that a pike fish joins the cast of narration farther along into the novella too. When asked what the novella meant to him Boyden said it “made me fall in love with writing again”. Wenjack is not the only released or son-to-be-released Chanie Wenjack project this year. In June of 2016, Six Nations’ own Davin Bomberry, 12, portrayed Wenjack in Historica Canada’s 84th Heritage Minute. Friend of Boyden and front-runner to the Tragically Hip music group Gord Downie, will release an album and graphic novel about Wenjack called Secret Path, and the imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival will be screening a film about him and all former students of residential schools. Boyden said that Wenjack is a "little book with a big heart” and hopes others do their best to reins awareness to indigenous issues across Canada.

Seneca Nation Territory: passing down knowledge By Jayson Koblun NEW YORK – It’s always been important for young indigenous children and youth to learn from their elders. Haudenosaunee people have long been passing knowledge through oral tradition, and just last week, a set of grandparents took their grandchildren to Letchworth State Park, in New York to share their knowledge on the history that involved their people. Dao:joh, of the Seneca Territory of the Cattaraugus, and his wife brought their grandchildren to the park last Saturday. “We want to share with them the history of this place,” he said. “It’s always been important to our people to do that.” The grandchildren — Gahoanon:h, Hode’sae’ and Ja’da:wad, looked like there were having a great time despite the chilly fall weather; the park is renowned as the "Grand Canyon of the East" and is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs — as high as 600 feet in some places — surrounded by lush forests. Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. The state park offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks, tours, a

summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking, a pool for swimming and hot air ballooning. An article titled A Short History of Letchworth Park, by Tom Breslin and Tom Cook, states that the park was created by New York State Governor Charles Evans Hughes in 1907. It was an addition to the fledgling state park system, the gift of a retired businessman and philanthropist, William Pryor Letchworth. “The new park consisted of the thousand acre estate called the "Glen Iris" which Letchworth had lovingly developed over half a century. The Park was a treasure chest full of natural splendor and history, awaiting those who were willing to come and explore it. And for almost a century, they have come,” reads the article. The Seneca called the place Sehgahunda, the Vale of Three Falls. They were descendants of the Old Ones, the native people who had lived in the

valley for countless generations. The Senecas hunted, fished, and built their villages within the lands that would become Letchworth Park. Despite the parks natural beauty; as in many cases of colonialism — the true history of the park and its connection with the Seneca people is not as glamorous as it is often presented. There is a sad and gruesome history involving some of New York’s early settlers and how they treated Seneca women and children. “The true story says that hundreds of our women and children were brought to the edge of the cliff and thrown over,” said Dao:joh’s wife. “It’s not pretty, but it’s a story that can’t be forgotten — which is why we brought our grandchildren here today.” If any of our reader’s have more information on the history of the Seneca nations and Letchworth State Park, let us know and we’d love to talk with you.

Safety tips that won’t rob the night of its fun Ghosts and goblins, little witches and skeletons — and more than likely the latest Disney princesses and comic book characters — will be roaming the streets come Halloween. A scary as the subtext of Halloween may be, it’s not meant to be dangerous day. While adult costume parties are increasingly popular, it is still a day meant for the kids, and you want to do all that you can to keep it safe for them without taking the spirit of the day away. Here are the following tips to keep your Halloween safe without taking away any of the fun: Drive carefully. Ideally, you won’t have to get in your vehicle on Hallow-

een. But if you do, remember there will be scores of excited youngsters roaming the streets, and they could be darting out into the road unexpectedly. Please pay attention. Keep an eye on those kids. Kids can be quick and crafty. To keep them from running out into the road unattended, sampling some candy you haven’t inspected or entering a stranger’s house, don’t divert your attention from their Halloween frivolity. Illuminate from within. The Jack O’Lantern is a time-honoured Halloween tradition. Carve a scary face into the side of pumpkin, put in a candle and voila! a creepy glowing scary face out front of your house. But anytime you

are using a live flame, like a candle, there is a risk of fire. Mitigate that risk by using small battery-powered lights to give your Jack its spooky aura. Light the way. No question, Halloween is best enjoyed after dark. But it can be treacherous walking to streets with limited visibility after the sun goes down. Best to carry a small flashlight with you to ensure no tripping hazards are in your path. Charge up. Taking the kids out trick or treating is the Halloween mainstay, the kids decked out in their costumes going door-to-door for some free candy. No doubt you will want to snap some pictures on your mobile phone, coordinate with the parents of your chil-

dren’s friends, or — worst case — maybe even need your phone in the event of an emergency. It’s not a time you want to be running out of juice. Bring along a portable charger to ensure your phone is ready when you are. Enjoy cautiously. For the kids, it’s all about the candy. Mini chocolate bars, bags of chips, rockets, molasses kisses … by the end of the night their treat bags are a veritable cornucopia of junk food. Parents should closely inspect all of the candy the kids bring home on Halloween, looking closely for any evidence it may have been tampered with. It is also a wise idea to monitor how much they are eating to ensure it stays in balance with a relatively healthy diet.

Filming rites of passage ‘beautiful’ By Chezney Martin TORONTO – The 17th Annual imagiNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival runs from Wednesday, October 19 to Sunday, October 23 and features a well-awaited for short film called “Fresh Takes,” by Katsition:ni Fox from Akwesasne. The film is enveloped in the Ohero:kon (under the husk) Rites of Passage — which was formerly only offered in Akwesasne, but has since grown — and the experiences of participants Kaienkwinehtha Ransom and Kasennakohe David, who each completed a full four years of fasting and learning about Haudenosaunee culture. But, the two weren't the only youth effected positively by the experience. In the crowd during the screening of the film and from Akwesasne territory, 18-year-old Dawson George explained that he began his rite of passage in Ohero:kon three years ago as well. The film itself has left an emotional impact on those that have seen it, and George explained that he would describe his feelings after seeing the short film as “hopeful.” “The short film is awesome and it was really put together well. It made me feel happy to know that it

will continue to grow,” said George. George said he moved to Six Nations to begin the Onkwawenna Kentiohkwa Language program, and that the rites of passage has helped him to “go on a different path.” “Ohero:kon has for sure helped me to better myself as a person, I always wanted to be a good person. Ohero:kon helped and encouraged me to be on the path that I am now,” said George. “My mother made me go. I wasn't necessarily for or against going, she just pushed me to go, encouraged me.”

Nineteen-year-old Jessica Jamieson from Six Nations, began her journey through Ohero:kon three years ago. She is now entering her fourth year as a participant in the fasting; meaning she will undergo four consecutive days of fasting with guidance. Jamieson said “being involved has helped me tremendously.” “Through the teachings and fasting, it has shown me a lot about myself and my gifts and it's really shaped me as a person” said Jamieson. “It's a long process and once you're in it, the people that make

themselves available to you in the Ohero:kon circle will be there for you throughout the entire thing. For me, it was very easy to stay committed to my rites of passage because of the community support,” she said. Her decision to enter the program came out of her desire to learn as much as she could about Haudenosaunee culture, and also backed her desire to learn the language. When asked if the program has helped her to become the person she is today she replied “yes, absolutely!” “I think what makes a youths rites of passage so powerful, is that there is a lot of communication be-

tween the youth and the older people. Keeping that communication open is what, I think personally, holds up the vulnerable youth,” she said. “Because its a hard commitment to make for some because a lot of our peers aren't walking the same way, and its easy to put your ceremony aside to hang out with them because you don't want to be forgotten by them or left out. But when the older ones are there for you, it makes things not as hard because you have the strongest support and encouragement from them.” If she had to describe the short film in one word she would describe is as “beautiful”.

“At first I was kind of apprehensive because I know how powerful and private this process is, and to have it out in the world for everyone to see, I was kind of worried,” she said. “But I'm glad that it just showed the gist of what it is and not go into great detail because these kind of things we need to protect and be stingy of because of how strong the ceremony is. But the film was beautifully done. Katsitsionni fox is an amazing film maker!” By capturing the emotion of those involved in the rites of passage and displaying it, it is easy to recognize that the interest in culture and language is thriving in youth today.

88 Fifteen-year-old game gets update Diablo 2: LOD Review (PC Windows, MAC OS) By Jonathan Garlow

When it comes to the universe of PC gaming, there are few games as iconic as Diablo 2: Lords of Destruction (LOD). In August 2016, Diablo 2 placed 21st on Time Magazine's The 50 Best Video Games of All Time list (editorial note: Tetris placed first, and PC game DOOM a close fourth on that list, two spots ahead of Minecraft, which placed sixth, and four spots in front of Super Mario Bros, which placed eighth!). Although released way back in 2001, Diablo 2: LOD still had 11 million users playing over Battle.net in 2010. Why are people still playing this game millenni-

als have never heard of? Just like Tetris, Diablo 2 is easy, fun and addictive and just so happens to be the ol’ granddaddy of action RPGs — the original hack’n slash click-fest! If you can get past the dated pixel graphics it is still a sweet play, 15 years later. Getting started in Diablo 2 is really easy. You are not burdened with entire novels of text and back story, you start out standing in a little encampment and in 10 quick steps you are out in the wilderness chopping evil monsters with a sword. Zero plot and 10 seconds to carnage — it’s like an evil episode of Adventure Time. It’s still fun after all this time. The game offers six different types of characters

Diablo 2 was released 15 years ago and was a huge success despite its dark horror themes which are suitable for Halloween season! to choose from: Amazon, Necromancer, Barbarian, Sorceress, and Paladin – each character has different strengths and weaknesses with a diverse skill path to choose from. A plot isn’t really needed because much of the game focuses and revolves around finding better and better items to equip your

character with. The better gear you have, the more powerful you become and this translates into those addictive 3 a.m. magic-find sessions that never end. After long reflections, I’ve reached a point in my life where I can accurately explain why I like Diablo 2 more than the newer, fancier Diablo 3, which was

released in 2012. It has so many things the newer version doesn’t. Blizzard knows that Diablo 2 is still loved and played by so many people, so they released an update on April 7, 2016! Let’s list some major reasons why D2 is better than D3, and here we go: 1) D2 has offline play (no internet required), 2) D2 has less power creep because there is a level 99 cap that will never change, 3) D2 is actually difficult and doesn’t hold your hand which real gamers appreciate, 4) D2 supports eight players in multi-player, D3 only supports 4, 5) The D2 drop rate seems much more random and fair – we are not the only ones to report that observation.

For the purposes of this game review I’ve managed to level a Javazon (that’s lingo for an Amazon who specializes in throwing Javelins) past level 80. It was a very enjoyable experience. It’s hard to fully describe why Diablo 2 is still such a hit. It has everything. Not to mention that the community is the opposite of toxic, random people sometimes enter my game and just give me epic loot. I forgot how fantastic the music sounds to my ears, the score is timeless. So whether you are a casual gamer looking for a few minutes to kill, or a hardcore gamer that needs a new challenge, Diablo 2: LOD is available on the Battle.net store usually on sale for around $20.

Halloween Extravaganza takes Brantford By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – The Brantford Hellenic Centre opened its doors to visitors to enjoy the De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Healing Centre and Building on Our Roots event dubbed the October Moon Extravaganza on Friday, October 21. Executive Director for De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Healing Centre Constance McKnight said she felt “honoured” to be able to help host the event. “And to have as many people attend as possible, we have a full house,” said McKnight, adding that she estimates that the event made around $15,000 thanks to the supportive

It wasn't an especially good outing for the Six Nations PeeWee LL's who lost 8-1 to Tillsonburg. Six Nations PeeWees move the puck out of their zone in this shot. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Six Nations Minor Hockey roundup By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – It was another full afternoon of Six Nations Minor Hockey Saturday at the Gaylord Powless Arena. In our feature games, the Six Nations PeeWee LL’s were demolished by the Tillsonburg #2 PeeWee’s, 8-1. Deeland Martin scored for Six Nations unassisted. They will be regrouping and learning from the adversity for their next outing. Later in the afternoon, the Six Nations Bantam LL’s Intertown, lost a heartbreaker to the Ingersol Express with a 3-2 loss. Ingersol scored first with the only goal of the period on a long hard wrist shot from just off the blue line. Nolan Jonathan scored to get Six Nations into the game in the second period unassisted before J. Beattie scored for the visitors. Ingersol took a 3-1 lead in the third but Six Nations got that one back with Jonathan’s second unassisted goal of the game to draw close, but that was all they could manage and the Six Nations squad lost it 3-2.

his team into the third period ahead 2-1. Six Nations took a 3-1 cushioned lead with Miley Martin’s second of the game assisted by Rycol Davis with a great pass onto Davis’ stick and Brady Smith who started the play. It was looking good for Six Nations even after Burford used up Six Nations cushion to draw within one with time was running out with 3:32 left. Burford was pressing hard at with 1:03 remaining, Low scored his second of day to tie it up, 3-3.

Tasking in an afternoon of Six Nations Minor Hockey is a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday even if you don’t have any kids or grandkids playing. Winlose or draw, it’s always entertaining.

October 26th, 2016

Jets, Oilers among organizations leading the way in sensitivity Canadian Press WINNIPEG – As Winnipeg Jets fans make their way to their seats and players prepare to stand on home ice for the national anthem, an announcement fills the downtown arena. The message — believed to be a first for an NHL team — says the Jets play on Treaty 1 land which consists of “original territories of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Metis Nation.” It adds that True North Sports and Entertainment, which owns the team and its home arena MTS Centre, is committed to “a spirit of reconciliation”. Acknowledging Canada's colonial history is starting to trickle down to the hockey rink eight years after former prime minister Stephen Harper stood in Parliament to apologize to residential school survivors and almost a year after the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report. Niigaan Sinclair, an assistant professor and head of the native studies department at the University of Manitoba, raised the idea. It's also based on a commission recommendation that organizers of international sporting events involve and respect local indigenous communities. Reminding crowds of 15,000 or more about indigenous lands is a way to raise public awareness of Canada's past and of the treaty-based relationships

between First Nations and others, Sinclair said. “Every venue where people congregate, every single government in North America, should acknowledge the history of the land they are on, which doesn't begin with the arrival of Europeans or newcomers or immigrants or whatever you want to call them. “This is a responsibility that every single North American person inherits.” Sinclair approached Jets co-owner Mark Chipman earlier this year about having a pre-game statement about treaty land. “Mark Chipman just turned to me and said, 'Well, this is the right thing to do', and ... next thing you know, they did it on the opening night of their season.” Rob Wozny, spokesman for True North, said the team acknowledges Treaty 1 land with a pre-game announcement before every home game. “Recognizing, respecting and supporting indigenous peoples is important,” Wozny wrote in an email. True North already runs several charitable programs, some of which are focused on First Nations. The Jets had earlier banned spectators from wearing headdresses and other mascot-type gear. Pressure is mounting for some professional sports teams — such as the Cleveland Indians, the Chigaco Blackhawks and the Edmonton Eskimos — to change their names and mascots.

The Edmonton Oilers made sure to include First Nations communities from Alberta when they opened their new arena this fall. Indigenous leaders were consulted and involved in the ceremonies. The building includes a large mosaic in the floor near the main entrance — 14 metres in diameter and made of almost one million small tiles — by indigenous artist Alex Janvier. “There is a growing awareness and conversation across Canada about reconciliation and moving forward to a positive future,” said Tim Shipton, spokesman for the Oilers Entertainment Group, which owns the team and operates the new arena. “We know that as a pro sports organization, we can be a force of good in the community and we know this is something that a lot of people are talking about.” Governments have been recognizing treaty lands in official ceremonies for years now. The trend is also catching on in the corporate sector. Bob Joseph, who runs the Vancouver-based Indigenous Corporate Training Inc., says more companies are seeking advice on how to include and recognize indigenous communities in events. His company's website offers tips on how to thank host First Nations. “The corporate sector guys, academia, they're all acknowledging territory and we just encourage it as much as we can.”

Knighthawks get to the Point

By Knighthawks ROCHESTER – The Rochester Knighthawks released forward Craig Point last week, and reflected on the impact he had during his eight seasons with the organization. “Craig has been one of our main offensive weapons ever since we welcomed him to the organization,” said Knighthawks Owner and General Manager Curt Styres. “He has scored some of the biggest goals in franchise history; we thank him for the passion he brought to the team every night.” Point arrived in Rochester after being acquired in a three-player, one draft pick deal with the Minnesota Swarm in February of 2009. The former NLL Rookie of the Year

had immediate success with the Knighthawks as he posted 28 points in just 10 games. While with Rochester, the Six Nations product scored 133 goals, which is 10th best in team history, and added 127 assists for 260 points in 84 games. The versatile Point also ranks sixth in team history with 199 faceoff wins. “I don’t think anyone shoots the ball as hard as he does,” said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. “Go back to the championship game at home against Calgary; he scored two clutch, big-time goals that allowed us to win a third straight Cup.” It was during the team’s run of three straight Champion’s Cups (2012 to 2014) that Point really showed off his scoring abilities. In 10 playoff games over

three seasons, he netted 15 goals and dished out 12 assists. He scored the biggest goals of his career in the decisive 10-minute tiebreaker game against Calgary in the 2014 NLL Championship series. Point’s first tally cut the deficit to one and his second, with just 59 seconds to play, proved to be the game winner in a 3-2 victory. That night, the Knighthawks made history by winning their third straight Champion’s Cup. “He was a guy who stepped up his game when he needed to,” said former Knighthawks teammate Mike Accursi. “He basically won us the championship in 2014 when he scored the game winner. He had that knack of getting a big goal when we needed it most. I wish him the best of luck.”

Pro-Fit Corvairs late surge crushes Canucks By Jim Windle

NIAGARA FALLS – The Caledonia Jr. B Pro-Fit Corvairs doubled the Niagara Falls Canucks 4-2 Friday October 21 at the Gale Centre in Niagara Falls with a strong effort, after a shaky start. The Canucks capitalized on a first period powerplay with Anton Trubin off for tripping. That would stand as the

second period started with Niagara leading, 1-0. Canucks’ Frank Pucci put the Corvairs behind 2-0 at 7:32 of the second period with a powerplay goal. Caledonia broke out at 12:51 when Zachary Core netted a Caledonia powerplay goal. Kyle West made it a new game with 45 seconds remaining on the second period clock. Quentin Maksimovich scored what would be the

game winner at 7:14 with Evan Bidenti adding one more for the 4-2 final. Caledonia remains on top of the Golden Horseshoe Conference heading into this week’s matchups, which includes a very important showdown with the second place St. Catharines Falcons, in St. Kitts, Friday Oct. 28, beginning at 7 p.m. They return home to the Haldimand Centre

Arena the next evening when Plenham Panthers are in town for a 7:30 start. Fort Erie will be visiting Caledonia Monday night, Oct. 31st, at 7:30. The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs hold down first place in the division and show no signs of weakening.

Hagersville Hawks Brantford Blast blasted outlast Simcoe Storm BRANTFORD – The Brantford Blast was reduced to a gentle breeze Saturday night in Whitby as the Whitby Dunlops rolled over the Blast 8-3 in Allan Cup Hockey League action.

Their home opener is scheduled for this coming Saturday, Octo-

By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – There were a lot of shots and very few goals Saturday night as the Hagersville Jr. C Hawks defeated the visiting Simcoe Storm 2-1. There were a total of 86 shots on goal, 47 by Hagersville and 39 by Simcoe, as Hawks goalie Stephen Tierney and Storm netminder Gavin McLeod each played well. Bradley Stitt put the Storm ahead 1-0 at

3:31 of the first period but Zach Car answered quickly at 4:54 to even the score. There was no scoring in the second period despite Simcoe’s 12 shots and Hagersville’s 13. Both goalies continued to turn away scoring chances at each end in the third period until Hagersville’s Tanner Brennecke broke the deadlock at 10:11 scoring from Wesley Fritz and Hayden Smith. The win put the Hawks

one point behind Port Dover who are ahead of the Hawks in fourth place and three points behind Niagara in third place. On Thursday night, October 27th, the Hagersville Hawks will be guests of the Niagara Riverhawks for a 7:30 start, before returning home Saturday night, October 29th to face the Dunnville Jr. Mudcats in Hagersville.

Last week we forgot about Brant County cross country! Six Nations Oliver M. Smith student Mace Anthony (right) placed 1st overall with, Tristen Garlow (middle) placing 4th, and Crosby Anderson (left) came in 7th place. The boys ran a distance of 2.1 km in a pool of 140 kids from the entire county. Also from Six Nations was Ryersyn Montour from Emily C. General who finished in 2nd place and Grayson Skye of I.L.
