call for data New STEAM high school accepting students National asks indigenous women By TRT staff
BRANTFORD – In September Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) will launch the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Academy for students entering high school. The innovative Grade 9 to Grade 14 model of education allows students to pursue an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and a two-year Ontario College Technician Diploma in the STEAM field, tuition free. The idea behind the high school model is to close the gap between young learners’ desires to go to college and obtain the skills they need for careers in high-growth industries. While earning a high school diploma, and an Ontario college diploma, students will gain real world experience through mentorship programs with industry professionals.
The Brantford Polytech Campus is now offering science, tech, engineering, arts and math programs for high school students. “SNP-STEAM Academy is a technology rich school, where students create their own pathways to high-skilled jobs,” said Brian Quistberg, Principal of SNPSTEAM. “With the SNPSTEAM Academy we’re offering an innovative model of education that provides an integrated high school and college curriculum focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathe-
matics. STEAM skills are vastly transferrable to a wide range of career options, both directly technological and otherwise. These are vital skills that teach the student to adapt to new situations, and to use process based thinking to solve problems and innovate.” What makes SNP STEAM Academy unique is the mindset that it creates for students. By knowing that they are on the path towards a career from the very beginning, students will have high expectations and view themselves as “college students” early on. Students who enroll in the STEAM Academy will have the opportunity to take college classes as early as Grade 10 and, depending on how quickly they advance, may even be able to complete the program in as little as four years. Learners will gain knowledge and skills for STEAM related
careers while being supported in a values based, student centred, and culturally inclusive environment. Students will also receive mentoring from an industry professional, including opportunities to communicate in writing or online and face-to-face. The school is open to students of all backgrounds and abilities. The point of entry for this school year is the ninth grade, and the school will admit a maximum of 50 students in its initial Grade 9 class, with plans to grow by a maximum of 75 students per year. The full capacity is 450 students, which is hoped to be achieved by Year 6. To register, call Aaron or Brian at 226-493-1234, or email aaron.hobbs@ snpolytechnic.com or brian.quistberg@snpolytechnic.com. The program will be run out of SNP’s Brantford Campus at 411 Elgin Street.
to report sex assault
OTTAWA — The Native Women’s Association of Canada is urging indigenous women to stand up and report sexual assaults to police. This includes everything from harassment to sexual assault - which helps police collect data that accurately reflects how common these types of attacks are on indigenous women. The organization says it is supporting a bill in parliament that would ask courts to consider a woman’s race as an aggravating factor if the accused has a history of race based assaults. NWAC president Francyne Joe says although it may be difficult to come forward, victims are not responsible for their own sexual assault.
Reserve puts bounty on rez dogs after woman mauled
WINNIPEG — A northern Manitoba reserve is organizing a cull after a 24 year old woman was mauled to death by the pack of dogs. Chief of the Little Grand Rapids reserve is now offering a bounty of $25 for every animal shot in the cull. Vets and activists in the area say more efforts are needed to spay and neuter clinics in remote communities to combat this crisis.

Hagersville Secondary hosts Spring Fling By Chezney Martin
Beyond the Bell program gifts SNEC “knowledge quilt” By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – Children from YMCA’s Beyond the Bell program contributed to a special “knowledge quilt” gifted to Six Nations Elected Council Monday night as a means to bring a First Nations perspective to the celebration of Canada 150. “A quilt of knowledge to display Haudenosaunee
from six nations who have helped contribute in a positive way to Six Nations people,” said Tabby Hill, who runs the program at Jamieson School. “Athletes; from lacrosse, hockey, baseball, to actors, lawyers, musicians, hereditary chiefs, and people helping to keep the language alive.” The project, first presented back in March, was
given to students from Jamieson School and I.L. Thomas School’s after school program and was finished in early May. Anne Jamieson runs the program at I.L. Thomas School. Elected Council played a large role in bringing the program to the territory four years ago which is why they received the quilt.
HAGERSVILLE – Hagersville Secondary School showcased a variety of festivities for their 2017 Spring Fling on Saturday, May 13, where students and staff helped to bring in revenue for the school. From baked goods to a plant sale just in time for Mother's Day, the event also showcased a wide variety of wares with more than 40 vendors that attracted a large crowd. But, a piece of the event that brought funds to two places within the Six Nations community was the DRIVE4UR – DRIVE4WE Event, as a partnership with Heaslip Ford Sales Ltd. The signature test drive fundraiser has raised more than $8 million for community organizations, as Ford Canada donated $20 for each test drive (up to $6000) at the Spring Fling. As Hagersville Secondary is the partnered school, their selection of “economic empowerment” focused the funds to Ganohkwasra Family Assault Services
The Spring Fling was a big success. PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN and the Indspire Charity. The funds that have been provided will help to promote security, safety and support to those in need.
After attracting visitors from across the area, all events that made up the Spring Fling made it a success.

OPINION Mohawk Geese EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW Starting right now, whenever you see a goose call it a Mohawk Goose, or maybe a Cayuga Goose — anything but a Canadian Goose. These geese are much older than that. Keeping things in perspective, the Mohawk are celebrating 100,000 years here in this general area; it's quite a big anniversary. Canada moved in for a little visit only 150 years ago but they suddenly started calling our geese, their geese. Not cool Canada! Maybe we should start a cheesy hashtag like #notyourgeese or something. It's bad enough to spread misinformation saying that all our land is officially theirs (99 per cent of Canada is either unceded or under indigenous land claim, according to author Adrian Jacobs) but claiming our animals like that is just throwing salt in the gaping wounds. They are not even “our” animals per se; it’s just that before 1492 they belonged to no one. They weren’t “indigenous” animals or anything other than living creatures, wild and free. The oral tradition of the Haudenosaunee groups them into the two legged or four legged and the water creatures. It would be a major worldview shift for most, but for the last 99,850 years or so we thought of these creatures not as animals but more like sentient beings that we are related to. Basic science agrees, we are all made of stardust. The dominant Christian worldview enforces the Gregorian calendar, but why can’t we decolonize by simply using the Mayan calendar? It’s the year 13.0.4.8.14 really. It's this same Eurocentric worldview infecting our minds to see land and creatures as untapped natural resources that must be “subdued” ( ּכ ַׁשבGenesis 1:28). Stokely Carmichael said that all Abrahamic religions are rightly African religions. So for 2,000 years the Roman Crusaders and their minions have been pretty busy misappropriating culture and conquering the earth. I guess these poor geese are just another casualty in the wars of global dominion.
Decolonize or Revillagize By Elizabeth Doxtater
There is ongoing talk about the process of ‘decolonization,’ however the phrase may be outdated and a bit misleading. The definition of the word decolonizing is: ‘to grant independence to a colony’. But Indigenous Peoples never surrendered our sovereignty. The term decolonize or decolonization has morphed into a revolution/movement about reaffirming our existence and our ... everything: our beliefs, our culture, our land, our languages, our resources, our strength, our spirit, our treaties, our traditional governments, and even our (now) interdependence. But there is a problem if we accept that ‘decolonizing’ is the answer to all of our problems. Within the healing patterns associated with decolonizing, the focus remains to be ‘them’ (the colonizers). Healing is to be
provided to us by ‘them.’ This maintains the understanding that we are passive recipients of healing, we are waiting to be healed — by them — and creates the illusion that we are powerless. There were 94 recommendations/calls to action listed in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report, released June 2015 based on interviews, healing circles, and an extensive review of the church and government documents (just limited to the documents that were released). Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the commission made the recommendations directly to the Government of Canada and to the churches that participated in these acts of genocide. The recommendations were seemingly well received without any criticism. They called upon all levels of government found within Canada as well as the churches to implement the 94 ‘Calls to Ac-
tion.’ The recommendations did not identify any ‘calls to action’ as the collective responsibility of individual Canadians. Nor did the report identify any recommendations geared toward us. Although I understand who the target audience was and the purpose for the report, the recommendations did not acknowledge or empower Indigenous Peoples’ responsibility to actively participate in the re-strengthening of our communities. Not one recommendation was directed at us. Not one recommendation acknowledged that we have inherent strength, resilience and power that we can use to be contributors and participants in the self-determination of our (own and individual) healing as an integral part of (Native North America’s) collective healing. Let’s call upon ourselves … we displace the term
genocide with coloniocide (def. to put an end to colonization) then return to the mindset of our ancestors’ by ‘revillagizing!’ We call upon ourselves to Revillagize, the next collective step after coloniocide and replaces decolonize. Once Indigenous Peoples have become strong, have clear understandings of surviving within the modern world, and are no longer living in fear of outdated genocidal policies and legislation, we will then start the process to (psychologically) ‘revillagize.’ The people will have the frame of mind as our ancestors did while they were living in the villages. Peace, Power and Righteousness will be an expectation of each member of this group. This will counter the current survival tactics of oppressed people, which are associated with lateral violence.

Why some say Canadian literature sucks By Megan Kinch
Author Megan Kinch is a settler Canadian who grew up in Scarborough, Ont. It’s time we were honest about the sub-par, elitist, racist, garbage that passes for literature in this country. Not only does Canadian literature (Canlit) have an unhealthy obsession with small, white towns, but it is also simply not good. The establishment is publishing boring stories, badly told, that have an implicit racism and settler-colonial bias. Like most settler Canadians, I don’t live in a small town — I live in a city. I grew up in a shitty apartment in Scarborough, where my best friends were natives passing as white so they could rent from our racist supers, mestizo refugees from Central America as well as Irish/Martimer catholic kids like me. In Oshawa, which was pretty white in the 1990s, there was a significant but mostly unspoken indigenous presence — these all-white towns of Canadian literature in reality often have a lot of indigenous people in them. Today I’m raising my kid in another rundown apart-
ment building in west-end Toronto, where’s she’s going to grow up with a mix of Brazilian immigrants, hipsters and upper middle class homeowners. I see none of this kind of complexity reflected in the small town protestant focused world of Canlit. In the working-class places I’ve lived, there’s domestic violence and alcoholism and unemployment, and there’s also resilient neighbourhoods with dance classes and music, cooking amazing food, raising their kids. At McDonalds in Jane in Finch at midnight, a middle-aged black dude borrows my pen to write some poetry on a napkin. I want to read some of that poetry. But instead Canlit wants me to read Plum Johnson’s They Left Us Everything, about a white woman spending an entire year packing up her rich parent’s house after they died. Or The Shipping News a novel about a town so boring the local newspaper carries reports of what ships are in port. Or Margaret Lawrence’s short stories about boring unhappy women in small towns. There’s clearly market for something for culturally complex, but Canlit solves
this problem by getting a white guy to write a book about an Indian kid and a tiger. The editor of a Canlit magazine argued there should be a prize for cultural appropriation, other authors and editors started a twitter campaign to fund one. This prize would only be for someone writing about other people: it specifically excludes anyone representing themselves: and usually writers of colour, indigenous writers and black writers are told to write their own stories by the industry. So a cultural appropriation prize is a kind of reverse affirmative action: which is racism. But the controversy about the appropriation prize only illustrates the business-as-usual appropriation and tokenism that runs Canlit, when they even bother to tell stories that aren’t about rich white people. This is basically still all about Joseph Boyden. Nobody is saying his name this time, but Canlit and the CBC loved Boyden as their token Indian, and they love his liberal politics of “reconciliation” without accountability. Though APTN investigated his family tree, which has no documented in-
digenous ancestors, the establishment still loves him. There are of course, Canlit establishment people who don’t like Boyden — because he’s too interested in indigenous stories and they want only the whitest stories told, and won’t even admit a dubiously Metis author like Boyden. Jesse Wente appeared on CBC radio talking about the appropriation prize controversy, with tears in his eyes, about how cultural institutions like the CBC are failing at changing to be more inclusive: “It means we will have to build it ourselves, and we will. If anything this proves our strength as a community and our endurance. Don't mistake my emotion here, or my civility anywhere, as weakness. This is our strength, this is me being in touch with my ancestors and feeling them sitting beside me.” But Canlit doesn’t want tears, Canlit wants un-emotional English literature about suppressing your feelings. Canlit loves Margaret Atwood, whose Handmaids tale is about a white woman who hides all her emotions to try and live in a fundamentalist society. It includes
an underground railroad for white women but only has one line that sort of almost mentions black people, who are not present in a book where white women are smuggled north on an underground female road. Margaret Atwood, as well as a bunch of other Canlit bigwigs, signed on to an open letter started by Joseph Boyden, supporting a Canlit writer and university professor accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment. Canlit threw Boyden under the bus, but Atwood remains the darling of the establishment. The same cultural elites allowed CBC radio personality Jian Ghomeshi get away with years of harassing and sexually assaulting women. The Canlit system is not only against indigenous people, but against black people. Writers and editors like Leonicka (@ leonicka) demonstrate on social media day after day how #canlit doesn’t include black voices. It is a system that pretends that black Canadian communities don’t exist, and that erases the contributes of Caribbean and African immigrants. Its the same system that has Desmond Cole win writing awards
for his first-person work on police carding of Black people, and then pushes him out of the Toronto Star for being an activist, even though they never offered him a full-time job. Canlit has a pretend diversity by including person of colour voice, but it prefers the lightest-skinned, most upper-class and politically unchallenging writers. But even these token voices from other backgrounds, like Michael Oondanje, have to be way better and more engaging writers than the drivel that WASP (white anglo-saxon protestants) are allowed to get away with publishing. So why do boring Canlit books get so much traction? Because the powers that be want us to think Canada is boring, that nothing ever happens here. They want us to forget about exciting events like Louis Riels’ uprising, the horror of residential schools, children facing the messed-up realties of the foster care system, water being poisoned by mining and pipelines. They want to erase non-indigenous struggles as well: miners killed CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

CBC Editor reassigned over racist tweets TORONTO — The managing editor of CBC's ``The National'' was reassigned Wednesday for what the public broadcaster called ``an inappropriate, insensitive and frankly unacceptable tweet’’. Steve Ladurantaye joined in as part of an online debate over cultural appropriation. In a memo distributed to its staff, CBC News editor-in-chief Jennifer McGuire said Ladurantaye will now work on its digital ``storytelling strategies'' and reach out to indigenous communities ``as part of his learning process.''
Woman’s remains returned after nearly a decade HALIFAX — The final remains of a murdered Mi'kmaq woman have been returned to her family after an eight year wait. Tanya Brooks' body was found outside a Halifax school in 2009. Family says police withheld her brain as part of the ongoing investigation into the still-unsolved murder. Elders held a smudging ceremony with investigators and members of victim services and the medical examiner's office as part of the return. Investigators did not say why Tanya Brooks' brain was withheld for eight years.

Ten of the greatest lies in American-Indigenous history: Part two By Doug George-Kanentiio An article by Doug George-Kanentiio, Akwesasne Mohawk, that the Two Row Times has broken up into several sections that will run through the next few weeks. Part one can be found in our May 17th issue. 6. Democracy came from the Greeks. No society is democratic when any of its members lives in a condition of servitude. The Greeks held much of their population in slavery and denied equal rights to women. This means that whatever popular form of government developed by the Greeks, and then the Romans, was highly conditional and restricted to a small class of social and economic elites. Not until the latter part of the 19th century was slavery prohibited
in the European nations and not until the 1970s were all women given the right to vote. Contrast this with the Iroquois Confederacy, where true democracy was invented, codified and practiced. Its citizens had specific human rights, and women held great social, political and economic powers unequaled in any other human society. Even children were accorded legal and political standing under the protection of a set of customs and laws. The freedom of Native people and our the manner in which we governed our affairs were envied, then copied in part, by the colonists since Europe had nothing to offer but class divisions, religious persecution and eternal national wars. 7. The founders of the American nation were freedom loving, God fearing patriots who
rebelled because of the oppressive rule and taxes imposed upon them by the English Parliament. We know this lie all too well. The rebels enjoyed a higher degree of liberty than any other place in the British Empire. They were taxed at a far lower rate then their English-Scot tish-Welsh cousins. We know that Parliament wanted the colonies to pay their fair share for the recently concluded Seven Years War and to abide by the 1763 Royal Proclamation which prohibited their intrusions and theft of Native lands west of the Allegheny Mountains. We know that John Hancock was one of the biggest smugglers in colonial America, a criminal who organized and financed the Boston Tea Party because the British and removed taxes on that beverage which almost

We know that the true cause of the Revolution was to protect the wealth of the colonial elite which was based upon lands stolen from Natives: Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Adams-all speculated in Native lands and feared their wealth would diminish if westward expansion ended.

Logan Staats, Derek Miller and Shub General all brought home recognition for their work. Staats earned the Best Folk Award for his album, Goodbye Goldia. The project also earned Staats and Six Nations talent Derek Miller an award for Best Producer, beating out Crystal Shawanda’s production credits on Missy Knott’s latest release. DJ Shub, a Haudenosaunee producer who pioneered what Shub calls “Pow Wow Step”, earned an IMA for Best Instrumental Album earning his place over veteran artist R. Carlos Nakai. The IMA’s had new life this year after a one year break and a rebrand from the former ‘Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards’. Both General and Staats were nominated in this year’s Best Music Video category. That was awarded to District Avenue from

NEW YORK – A driver is seen steering his vehicle onto the sidewalk and plowing through groups of pedestrians in videos captured by security cameras in Times Square, N.Y. during the lunch rush hour on Thursday, May 18. The driver was identified as Richard Rojas, 26, and after driving at high speeds for three blocks — injuring 22 and taking the life of 18-year-old tourist Alyssa Elsman — he was apprehended by police and bystanders after crashing into steel barriers. With previous charges for drunk driving and a discharge from the U.S. Navy for disciplinary problems in 2014, Rojas told authorities he was “hearing voices” upon arrest. Officials also said that Rojas admitted to smoking marijuana laced with PCP before the rampage. “You were supposed to shoot me!” Rojas shouted to authorities after being detained. “I wanted to kill them.” The intentional attack has not been linked any terrorist groups, but Rojas appeared in court on Friday, May 19, with charges for aggravated vehicular homicide, second-degree murder and many counts of attempted murder.

IS THERE EQUALITY in WATER SYSTEM FUNDING? In 2015 there were 77
on reserve drinking water advisories across Canada.
In 2016, the Liberal government launched a 5 year plan to end those advisories, investing $1.8 ter systems on reserve. An additional $141.7
billion dollars for water and wastewa-
million over that same 5 year period was committed for drinking water and on reserve water testing.
Total investment? Approximately $1.95 billion over 5 years to resolve 77 advisories. That equals approximately $25.2 million per advisory OR about $5 million per advisory per year in federal funding to resolve on-going intergenerational and systemic issues surrounding on reserve drinking water advisories across all of Canada. In comparison… In May of 2017, The City of Ottawa announced it received a $30.2 million dollar investment from the federal government (covering 50% of project costs) for a $60.4 million dollar infrastructure upgrade to their fully functional system. That is almost $5
million dollars more than the estimated funding per community Ottawa laid out to resolve on reserve water issues. The City of Ottawa is receiving an additional $15.1 million dollar investment from the province (covering
25% of the costs).
The work in Ottawa is currently underway — they started in April of 2016. Work on reserves is not being initiated as fast. As
of March 2017 there are now “only” 71 drinking water advi-
sories on Canada’s reserves. Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett and Health Minister Jane Phillpott announced in March that they were “on track” with resolving the water crises on First Nations territories.

MMIW Inquiry lacking OTTAWA — The head of the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women says the commission accepts full responsibility for delays and poor communication but more time and money are needed to finish work that has already been done. Marion Buller responded Friday to concerns outlined in an open letter from more than 30 advocates, aboriginal leaders and family members that the process is in ``serious trouble.'' Buller says there is a communications problem with the inquiry and does not believe it is a problem of leadership.
No foul play in death of child
TORONTO — Foul play is not suspected in the death of an eight-year-old boy who was found in a northwestern Ontario provincial park. Ontario Provincial Police say they were called to Rushing River Provincial Park to investigate reports of a missing person Saturday evening. The boy, whose name has not been released, was found dead early Sunday. Police say they don't suspect foul play at this time, but are waiting for Tuesday's post-mortem examination before officially ruling it out.

10 of the greatest lies in history continued from page 8 typhoid may have been a factor in driving Natives from the land but it was, they argue, the military strength of the colonies that won the day. To unravel this lie take three examples. On July 3,1778 a force of 460 Iroquois and 110 British rangers were engaged in a fight with 360 US militia at Wyoming near Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. Using superior field tactics under the leadership of Cornplanter the Iroquois fired one volley at the Americans before charging them and engaging in deadly hand-tohand combat. No match for the Iroquois the U.S. fled the field of battle after suffering over 300 casualties to the loss of a single Iroquois fighter. Instead of referring to this as an Iroquois victory it is called a “massacre’ although no non-combatants were harmed. Second, the defeat of the U.S. army in Indiana in the fall of 1790. President George Washing-
ton ordered the army to invade Shawnee-Miami territory to take their lands by force. The Native alliance (the Iroquois called Mingos were present) led by Blue Jacket and Little Turtle drove back the Americans in a series of battles during which the Natives used complex field tactics and superior marksmanship. Over 220 of the 540 U.S. soldiers were lost at the final clash before the Americans left the area. Third, the Battle of the Wabash in present day Ohio. A 1,000 strong American army which included almost all of the senior commanders was struck at dawn by the same Native alliance as had defeated Harmar the year before. Once again using the element of surprise Blue Jacket and Little Turtle drove back the Americans until the fight became a rout. Of the 1000 U.S. soldiers only 33 escaped unharmed with 632 killed. Virtually all of the officers died. It was,
by far, proportionally the worse defeat suffered by the U.S. Army in any battle at any time in its history yet it is not even cited during the military history course at West Point. What the three examples prove, and there are many others, is that when adequately equipped Native military forces defeated the colonials in almost every pitched battle yet other than Little Big Horn no standard history texts cite this fact. 9. Natives were on the margins of history and gave the world little more than canoes, corn and tobacco. Another lie of epic proportions. It may be said that the single most profound event in human history took place on October 12, 1492 not because of the bad navigation of Colon but that it meant the collision of two human realities as different from each other as was possible. But in that clash came inevitable exchang-
es which would forever change world history. This is best explained in the book “The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492” by Alfred Crosby and in Jack Weatherford’s “Indian Givers: How Native Americans Transformed the World” and in Kay Porterfield’s “Encyclopedia of American Indian Contributions to the World”. These books, and others like them, destroy forever the myth that Natives were wisps of smoke. Our innovations, our inventions, our technologies, ideas and art, our politics and our music have been felt by every human being on this planet. The authors cite basic things such as the gift of corn, the most important plant in human history, and go on from there to list thousands of instances of what our ancestors gave to humanity; chocolate, rubber, oil, syringes, basketCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

10. Freedom. The Europeans knew nothing of true freedom when they came to Anonwarakowa. They were class bound, restricted by gender, consumed by material wealth, sickly in body and spirit and ignorant of the world about them. They were the product of generations of religious prosecution and immersed in violence. They were
unclean, more intoxicated than not, smallish in stature and plagued by diseases from which they barely survived as a people. They feared their Creator and were taught the earth was their dominion. They whipped their children and discarded their elderly. When they met Natives for the first time they were intimidated by their
physical beauty, their size and their health. The colonists were patriarchal and were amazed by the seeming lack of singular authority in Native society. They envied the absolute freedom enjoyed by the Natives to go as they pleased and whenever it suited them. They thought their lack of material possessions was primitive only to be
15 told that in a land of great bounty where all the resources are held in common there is no need for physical wealth, no need to create artificial class distinctions. Whenever given an opportunity to live like Indians individual colonists would often do so and, after living as Indians, they refused to return to the confines of the colonies. This was
particularly true for the children and women. We taught the Americans what it could mean to be free and they in turn elected to destroy us since we represented the great temptation. So it stands, our collective history, for good and ill. We have overcome great odds from a century ago and now number in the millions although nowhere near what we once were. Our presence reminds Canada and the U.S. of their duplicity, their institutionalized lies. It is our duty to set them straight and it is working in part. As we move into the harvest time we can point to one shared ritual which is not a lie: thanksgiving. Although much of what has been written about the first Pilgrim ritual of this kind (and most of that is a lie) the actual gathering of the people to express familial and communal gratitude for the blessings of the past year is one of our great gifts to the world. And that is an absolute truth.

ANCHORAGE — A new study says Alaskan American indigenous children have the highest incidence of obesity in the United States. The research cites diet and physical activity as two of the main contributing factors to high rates. Researchers compared the experience to Canadian indigenous families with children who are part of a food subsidy program that brings fresh fruit and vegetables to remote rural communities and supports traditional foods. The study found Canadian indigenous children in the north fare better than their American counterparts.

Spirit Game film highlights lacrosse and nationalism Written by Chezney Martin with notes from Jayson Koblun The sports community and rest of the Turtle Island is eagerly awaiting the release of the documentary film Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation, a film centered around the creation of lacrosse. The film features the likes of the Thompson brothers, Oren Lyons, Bill Belichik and former U.S. President Al Gore, and circles around the creation of lacrosse and the first ever hosting of the World Indoor Lacrosse Tournament in Onondaga — Haudenosaunee soil — in 2015. The approaching release date had both Jeremy and Jerome Thompson reflecting on the impacts that they hope the film will make on audiences in an interview with Two Row Times. “I want, and hope, that those who watch the documentary will understand that we are still here,” said Jeremy. “I want the world, and

ing on the fact that the documentary is also a teaching tool. “I’d like people who see it to learn something new about the game and appreciate that we are a

sovereign nation,” said Jerome. The duo played alongside their brothers Lyle and Miles in the Iroquois Nationals team back in 2015, and are prominent figures in the film that encompasses the creation of lacrosse as well as the sports importance to the Haudenosaunee. Jerome also pointed out that the film includes moments from the 2014 Denver games, which were important and impactful to him and his family. “[That] really meant a lot to me because it was the first time I played with my brothers on the global level,” he said. “It really means a lot to me and I know it meant a lot to the rest of my family too.” But behind the scenes, Jeremy recognized that it was the film crew and their focus and determination to make the documentary authentic that was memorable for him.
“I really appreciated how the whole production team cared about what they were working on,” he said. “It wasn’t just another job, or another project. The whole team really made sure that things were as spoton, or as close to being spot-on as it could be. It was a great experience being a part of such teamwork.” The duo agreed that
what they hoped for was that the film would “accurately and effecttively” portray Haudenosaunee sovereignty, and that hope was reached. “It was a great experience and I’m very happy with what I’ve seen of the documentary,” said Jeremy. “They did a great job and it was an experience I’ll remember forever,” said Jerome. Although the film is set to premiere in Hollywood on May 24 — a special showing of the film is set for Saturday, June 3 in Syracuse N.Y., at the Palace Theatre. This special showing is free and open for Haudenosaunee people of all Nations to attend on a first-come and firstserve basis. “This story is so important it clearly has to have a Hollywood Premiere,” said Executive Producer Gayle Anne Kelley. “But the Syracuse Premiere, in the Onondaga Nation’s traditional territory, is the most significant. This is their story.” If you can't make it out to the premiere in Onondaga territory, don't fret, the movie will be available on Amazon and and iTunes on June 20.

VIDEO GAME REVIEW: MechWarrior Online (Windows PC/Steam)
Becoming the ultimate MechWarrior
The battlefields of the 31st century are perilous, dominated by mechanized units known as BattleMechs. Piloting these advanced war machines are the most elite soldiers the galaxy has ever known. To most, they are known simply as MechWarriors. PGI/MWO PHOTO By Jonathan Garlow The Internet is filled with tons of great free-to-play games these days but a vehicle combat game by Vancouver based Piranha Games Inc. called Mechwarrior Online stands tall above the rest. It is based off the Battletech strategy game universe. You will need a Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) in your computer to even begin. Players each pilot a single BattleMech (‘Mech) that they outfit themselves and take into battle in two teams of 12 per side. The arenas seem large and varied, two favourites are: Polar Highlands and HPG Manifold. Polar Highlands is cool because it’s such a wide open landscape for sniping with many trench-like pathways to move into flanks. HPG Manifold is a gigantic moon base satellite that is just an awe to behold. BattleMechs typically
weigh between 20 and 100 tons, and fall into one of four weight classes: Light, Medium, Heavy, and Assault. Depending on the hardpoints available for your ‘Mech, you can equip a dazzling area of different weapons configurations and this is where MechWarrior Online really shines. Weapons are split into three major groups: Ballistic, Energy, and Missile. Ballistic weapons deal instantaneous kinetic damage but require careful consideration due to their reliance on ammunition. Energy weapons consume no ammo but generate significant heat that must be monitored to prevent overheating. Missiles come in both long and short-range variants, and are capable of striking out-of-sight targets with targeting support provided from friendly units. Battling 12 other ‘Mechs is difficult as is
but there is also an internal battle going on at all times with your heat level — when weapon systems run too hot you run the risk of shutting down or even completely detonating. Some trick builds equip the largest alpha damage into one giant blast and it’s very satisfying to just launch incredible damage at an arm and watch it explode right off, or one-shotting an enemy ‘Mech outright. If any of this piques your interest check out TheB33f on YouTube, he specializes in total ‘Mech destruction — the enemy and himself. Sidenote: I’m proud to say that during this review of MWO I was killed in one alpha strike by TheB33f, maybe it will make a replay highlight. In the current meta the strongest builds are called Laser Vomit and Dakka. I personally prefer the Dakka auto-cannons and there are two Battle-
mech’s that really take advantage of the four ballistic hard points required to pull it off. The Warhammer Black Widow is a heavy Hero ‘Mech that costs real world dollars (approximately $50) but it can equip two AC/5’s and two Ultra AC/5’s. What this translates into is standing and blasting enemy face for about 30 seconds straight until heat becomes a serious issue. It’s basically like peeing lava on someone. The Kodiak KDK-3 is a 100 ton assault ‘Mech that can run a similar but much heavier setup and is a real ‘blast’ to play. Just because light ‘Mechs are small doesn’t mean that they aren’t enjoyable to pilot. Scouting and ECM electronics warfare is also an integral part of the game. In the final minutes of each match when only a few ‘Mechs remain, a single light can
dance around the enemy and do precision work with lasers and machine guns. It’s a spectacle. MWO has been available since 2013 but recent patches have brought more game modes, and a new skill tree system online. The graphics and sound are both incredible and top-notch and PGI really takes advantage of the CryEngine. It's not all rainbows and unicorns though. From my extensive 1000 hour review I have discovered a small handful of problems
with the game. 1. Unstable servers are prone to disconnecting you or not working 100 per cent of the time. 2. The lack of melee is very frustrating. Why can’t a 100 tonne ‘Mech just punt a light ‘Mech like a football? ‘Mechs with hand actuators should be able to punch or wield axes and stuff 3. Intimidating complexity makes this game mostly for ‘nerds or people with patience. Lucky for me I'm both.

Canlit doesn’t have to suck so much. Lets think about Canadian music: native artists like Tanya Tagaq and Buffy St. Marie are some of the most well respected in the country. Black artists like Drake, The Weeknd and K’nnan are competitive internationally, with even white artists like Italian-Canadian Alessia Cara representing multicultural complexities of Brampton in dress and musical style. So why does Canadian literature get away with being so crappy? The only thing worse than Canadian Literature is Canadian Wine. Just like its alcoholic counterpart, Canlit it best consumed by blind nationalists with uneducated palates who are willing to pretend that everything is great rather than accepting that our current products are sub-par at best.

SPORTS Arrows thrill fans with come-from-behind win know the score.
By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS – The annual Bread and Cheese game has been used as the Six Nations Arrows home opener for several years and this year was no exception as the 2017 Arrows and the St. Catharines Athletics did battle at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) Monday afternoon. They came into their third game of the new season with a 2-0 wins record. The Arrows made it 3-0 with an exciting come-from-behind 6-5 win in OT to make their debut for Arrows fans. Austin Staats had a big game with two goals and two assists, but it was his on floor leadership that powered the Arrows comeback from a 5-2 deficit after two periods. Staats opened the game and the home season at 1:26 with a great effort, diving headlong into the crease to deposit the Arrows first goal of the news campaign, assisted by Owen MacDonald. The Arrows did not look sharp early in the game, especially on line changes, and at times seemed disorganized on the floor. But eventually, in the third period, the defence tightened up and the offence began finding the range. “That definitely was not easy, it was a battle out there,” said Staats after the game. “We’ve got a lot of young guys right out of minor and they are

Still perfect Rivermen earn win No. 4 By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – The Rivermen continue to dominate the Ontario Senior B Lacrosse league after easily taking apart the visiting KW Velocity at the Gaylord Powless Arena in Ohsweken, 14-2. It wasn’t nearly as bad for the Velocity as it was on their last visit when they lost 20-1, but the result was the same — a Rivermen walkover. Four first period goals set the pace for the Rivermen with Brock Farmer scoring Six Nations first two before Stu Hill and Dwayne Porter added on. The Velocity chipped two second period goals from the Six Nations lead, but the pressure wouldn’t last. Mike Miller, Gregg Longboat, and a pair by Danton Miller made it an 8-2 two period score. There was no gas left in the Velocity tank in the third period and the Rivermen took full advantage of it. Stu Hill opened the final 20, from Rodd Squire Jr. Kim Squire is new to the Rivermen line up after sitting out of the game for a couple of years. By his own admission he still has a ways to go to get back into playing shape but he has made an impact already, scoring the R-men’s 10th
goal assisted by Gregg Longboat and Ashton Jacobs, and assisting on another in his fourth game dressed. Closing out the scoring were Dwayne Porter with his second of the night, Tom Montour, Mike Miller’s second, and Gregg Longboat’s second. Chase Martin earned the win in the Rivermen goal making several good saves when called upon. “Feels pretty good,” said Squire after the game. “I’m still trying to get into shape but it feels good.” He’s also been getting used to his new line-mates and getting his timing back. It’s a work in progress, but it is progressing. Squire scored his first goal in a Rivermen Jersey and added an assist. “This is such a good team,” he says. “That’s why I wanted to come here and play. All my buddies are here, and it’s going to be a fun year. I think we can win the Championship this year.” When Squire has been playing in recent years he has been playing off reserve. He spent some time on the west coast as well but is happy to be back playing in his own community. CONTINUED ON PAGE 26
Like all of us, Kimbo Squire No. 10 may have lost a few steps over the years, but unlike all of us, he still has enough fire in his stick to make a comeback into the game he loves, in front of his own community again. The Rivermen already have a powerhouse team of ex-NLL'ers and Major Series players along with several returnees from last season's Presidents Cup Championship squad. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE
Reb's score double digit wins PJ high school hosting OFSAA By Jim Windle
OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Jr. B Rebels are putting distance between themselves and the rest of the division with a long list of double-digit wins thanks to an offence that would be a serious Jr. A competitor. Sunday night in St. Catharines, the Rebels went up against the third place St. Catharines Spartans and continued their winning ways. This past Friday the Rebels added a 21-1 vivisection on the visiting Welland Generals outshooting them 81-22 in yet another lop-sided contest. Coach Miles General and his coaching staff
have created a juggernaut that is cutting down the competition like a hot knife through butter. Last Tuesday, in a game that missed our deadline, the Rebels tripled up on the Niagara Thunderhawks 16-5. On Friday night, at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA), Layne Smith led the Rebels with a 10-point game, eight goals and two assists. Other multiple point getters were also registered by Sidney Powless (2G,5A), and Chayton King (3G,3A). Daniel Hill turned away all but one of 22 shots he faced for the win. Some bad blood between these two teams became evident early in
the game when at 8:31 of the first period a roughing call against Rebels’ Sidney Powless exploded into a brawl. When the fur stopped flying, Rebels’ Gates Abrams and Garrett Vyse-Square were tossed along with Ardis Peterson and Zach Otto for Welland. Last Tuesday night at the Maridian Credit Union Arena the Niagara Thunderhawks scored the first two goals of the game before the Rebels unloaded the next five unanswered goals to end the first session with the Rebels up 5-2. The Rebels continued to pile up the goals in the second to take the heart CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Six Nations Warriors wax Whitby 17-3 By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Coach Jay Smith has a big problem, but it’s a problem any coach would love to have. Too much talent, not enough spots. The 2017 Warriors are winning. No matter who Smith suits up to put on the floor, the results will be the same — another Six Nations’ win. Smith and his staff, in his first year of coaching at the Jr. C level, have created an immediate contender for the Meredith Cup. Last summer, the Wilmott Wild eliminated the Warriors from the playoffs. But this season, Smith wants the Championship to rest on Six Nations territory. The Wild lost to the Clariton Shamrox in four games to win the 2016 Meredith Cup. This season’s Six Nations Warriors are noth-

They opened the season with a 10-7 win over the new Brantford Warriors, a 19-8 win over Caledon, a 10-9 win in
Oakville, 17-8 over Mimico, 23-7 over Halton Hills and 17-3 over Whitby. There really wasn’t much to report on Sunday’s 17-3 blasting of Whitby at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA), other than Marshall Pow-
less’ six goals and two assists, Trent Martin’s nine assists, with input from Jaxon Martin (2G,1A), Tyrese Staats (4G), Todd Thomas Jr., (3G,1A), Ryan Johnson (1G, 3A), and Owen Martin (1G,2A). After a rather benign

It was more of the same in the third to get to the 16-5 final score. Josh Miller carried offence on this night with four goals and two assists while Justin Martin added a goal and five assists. Sid Pow-

first period, the Warriors outscored Whitby 9-2 in the second period alone, Whitby started to show signs of life but the Warriors quickly euthanized any thoughts of a Whitby comeback, shutting them out 4-0 in the third period for the 17-3 final score. The biggest player for Whitby was it’s smallest player, No. 17, Matt Andersson. Head and shoulders shorter than anyone else on the floor, Andersson took a beating from his check, Riley Jamieson No. 7, who towered over him but Andersson gave back just about as much as he got. “He’s got a lot of heart,” said Smith about his opponent. Sometimes when a team is so good, and creating huge score differentials, they can be accused of “running up the score” on the other team when they clearly were going to out of reach, but even so, the Spartans would not lay down, scoring the last two of the game for the 11-8 final. After this past weekend’s results, Layne Smith leads all Rebels in points with 55 with 39 goals and 16 assists in 12 games. That is an impressive average of just shy of five points a game. That is a points per game average just shy of five points a game. Sidney Powless had a big weekend as well, lifting his statistics to 19 goals, 21 assists for 40 points in 10 games, averaging four points a game. Wes Whitlow, Josh Miller, and Chayton King are not far behind in the Rebels success. In goal, Dustin Hill leads the league in wins with 7.

I just don’t want to take any chances.” Coming up will be the Fergus Thistles at home to the Warriors, May 25, and then a battle of the Warriors as the Six Nations takes on Brantford at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, for a Sunday afternoon matinee at 3 p.m.

Rivermen “I like the lifestyle out there. That was a nice two years out west being able to relax and be beside the ocean and that,” he says. “That was fun while it lasted.” Squire’s first goal of the season was vintage Kim Squire and although his is still not up to taking a regular shift, every game he gets closer to where he wants to be and that is encouraging to the team. Tom Montour has known Kimbo Squire most his life and always looked up to his scoring and playmaking skills. He is happy to see him back playing on the rez. “It’s awesome, seeing him score the way he used to score too,” says Montour. The 4-0 Rivermen continue their march towards the President’s Cup defence, Saturday, May 27 when they take on the Brooklin Merchants, in Brooklin. Sunday, May 28, the Rivermen get another shot at the Velocity, at the Waterloo Memorial Rec. Complex, at 7 p.m.

Anaheim Ducks grounded by Nashville Predators By Jim Windle w/notes NASHVILLE – Nashville has become Hockeyville this year as the Predators move towards their first franchise Stanley Cup final. The Nashville Predators will compete for the first time in franchise history for the Stanley Cup after eliminating Six Nations’ Brandon Montour and the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 in Game 6 of the semi-final series with the Preds who entered the league in the 1998 to 1999 season. Twenty-three-year-old Montour had a sensational year split between the AHL San Diego Gulls, before moving up to the Ducks just before the playoffs. Both he and Shea Theodore have proven themselves to be ready for regular NHL duty. What’s more, they are exempt from the expansion draft to launch the new Vegas Golden Knights because they are second-year players on entry-level contracts. With the feeding of the new Vegas franchise, there will be holes left in some rosters that will need to be
It's been quite a ride for Six Nations' Brandon Montour after being called up from the AHL San Diego Gulls to the Anaheim Ducks just in time for the playoffs. The 23-year-old defenseman made his mark with the big team and has earned a great deal of respect in the NHL. Montour's Ducks lost a close Game 6 in OT Monday night in Nashville and were eliminated after a strong playoff run. SUBMITTED PHOTO filled, and stocks in Brandon Montour have skyrocketed after his strong performance this post season. In Game 6, Montour was victimized by a pass-out in front of the Ducks crease, which caromed off of his skate for the Predator’s
first goal. But he made up for it with some fine scoring opportunities himself, only to be stopped by a very hot Pekka Rinne in the Predators’ net. "I look at the game and I look at our body of work and how we played, I don't think I'd complain about
our effort," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. "We could make some definite improvements in our execution, but our effort was there and we were a desperate hockey club right from the opening faceoff and we didn't quit until they scored the second
empty-net goal." But in accepting defeat, Carlyle was still bitter about the schedule that saw the Ducks play their seventh game in 13 days, plus travel. “I don’t think we played poorly in the series, he said. “I think that the
toughest part I have about the whole thing is that this was our seventh game in 13 days,” said Carlyle. Jonathan Bernier started in place of John Gibson, who left after the first period in a 3-1 loss in Game 5 because of a lower-body injury. It’s hard to tell what will happen in the off-season, but one thing is for sure. The stocks in Brandon Montour have dramatically improved with his excellent work in the playoffs. There have been rumours of Montour being eyed for a possible trade given that the Ducks are loaded with good young rushing defensemen. But then, they may decide to invest in the future with Montour on their own blueline. Either way, Montour is an NHL keeper with two goals, four assists and a solid +11 with the Ducks. On behalf of our readers we want to congratulate Brandon for being only the second representative from Six Nations to make it to the NHL, the first being Boston Bruins’ Stan Jonathan, who is a big Montour supporter himself.
Six Nations “sledger” hoping to compete at 2018 Paralympics By Jim Windle/w notes SIX NATIONS – Six Nations Cole Martin won’t let a serious injury stop him from competing. Martin plays sledge hockey with Team Ontario of the Ontario Sledge Hockey Association (OSHA), Canadian Development Team. In early September Martin will be fighting for a spot on the Canadian National Sledge hockey team that will be attending the Paralympics in PyeongChang Korea in 2018. The Ontario Sledge Hockey Association (OSHA) is the governing body for sledge hockey in Ontario, representing more than 20 clubs and 400 plus players located across most of Ontario. It is a registered non-profit organization, an associate member of the Ontario Hockey Federation and a member of Hockey Canada. OSHA runs three regu-

to elite. In addition OSHA runs Sledge Team Ontario (STO) in conjunction with the Quest for Gold government funded program for the development of elite sledge hockey players.
In its role as Ontario’s Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) for sledge hockey, coordinates and organizes sledge hockey participation in the Ontario Parasport Winter
Games (OPWG) and the Ontario Winter Games (OWG). The organization also sanctions two major sledge hockey tournaments each year: one in
Mississauga in November and one in London in January. These tournaments have attracted teams from across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. OSHA’s Mission, Vision and Value Statements reflect the organization’s dedication and commitment to the ongoing development of players and of the sport. Sledge Hockey is an exciting sport for people with special needs. The same rules are followed as in ice hockey, with six players on the ice, including a goalie. Players sit on a sledge, which is a narrow platform with skate blades attached to the bottom, and propel themselves using two specially constructed hockey sticks that have picks on the end. Players wear full hockey gear and are strapped onto the sledges. The sledges can be adapted to meet the individual needs of each player.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week may be a turning point for you in your life. Although you feel ready for the changes that are in store, you may have to adapt a bit more once they’re here. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, even if you stumble, you will have an opportunity to regain your footing. Do not shy away from taking a few chances here and there. You can handle what’s in store.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 This may be one of those weeks when nothing seems to bother you, Virgo. The bad stuff just rolls off your back, and everything seems to keep you smiling.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, someone is trying to tell you something but you may not be receiving the message just yet. Settle in and the message may dawn on you at a later time.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Talk about big plans with someone close to you, Sagittarius. This person might have some wise words to share, or may just be the sounding board you need right now.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Confidence is the key to just about anything, Aquarius. This week you have it in abundance. At this point, you can probably sell ice to Eskimos, so put your luck to good use.
