Construction underway for MontHill new clubhouse

By Jayson Koblun HALDIMAND COUNTY – MontHill Golf and Country Club on Highway 6 is set to become an even better place to play golf, dine and host events by next year.

Owners Jerry Montour and Kenny Hill are building a new 60,000-square-foot clubhouse. Construction began almost two weeks ago.

"It's going to be a state-of-the-art clubhouse," said Hill last Wednesday at a ground-breaking ceremony. "It will be for wedding receptions, banquets and parties, as well. We want the people who come here to be treated the way we like to be treated."

The new clubhouse is set to be able to house 600 people, have a grill and restaurant with multiple terraces, golf simulators and a founders club for the mem-

“The new venue is going to supply a lot of jobs too,” said Hill, adding that the investment should generate up to 60 full and part-time jobs.

Hill said that he and Montour want the

restaurant to be a place where all of the town and surrounding areas can come to eat, whether they intend to golf or not.

“It is meant to be a destination.”

Montour and Hill

were joined by the construction team, Haldimand Mayor Ken Hewitt, Haldimand Councillor Craig Grice, and others from the golf course.

The architect for the project is Hicks Design Studio Inc., of Oakville,

the engineer is C. F. Crozier and Associates Inc., of Collingwood and the general contractor is Schilthuis Construction Inc., of Caledonia.

Hill said that the new clubhouse is just the first of several phases

to come and that a hotel in the area is a definite possibility.

“Phase one is the new clubhouse, phase two may be a hotel,” said Hill. “I always thought it would be a good place for a hotel.”

Blaze destroys Brantford pizza shop

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – Traffic on Colborne Street and Murray Street in Brantford was still being diverted Tuesday morning after a major fire destroyed two century old buildings housing Maria’s Pizza and Smak Dab Pottery.

Residents and their pets living in apartments on the second floor and rear of the building were safely evacuated; however, some people were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and released.

One man was evacuated with the use of a ladder.

Damage has been estimated from $1.5 to $2 million.

Anyone driving or walking near that intersection will have seen a big white cockatoo usually strutting its stuff in the window of the pottery shop. In the summer, people are sometimes treated to a perfectly whistled theme from the Andy Griffith Show. It is good to report that all of the animals including the cockatoo were rescued by neighbours and transported away to safety by the SPCA. The Ontario Fire Marshall was on site Monday to investigate the cause of the blaze and as of Tuesday morning could only

determine that the fire started at Maria’s Pizza and spread up and across to the pottery next door.

Fortunately, the narrow alleyway between Maria’s and Brantford Music protected the music shop from having hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of musical instruments being damaged.

Tuesday, fire crews were still putting out hot spots from atop a ladder truck while police were on hand to divert traffic and keep the curious behind the yellow tape bar-

Investigators had to have debris and a wall removed to gain access to the interior of the gutted structures. A drone was used to fly over the smoldering remains to identify hot spots and assess the damage.

The first call came in at 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning and by the time fire crews arrived the buildings were already fully ablaze.

The much-loved pizzeria first opened its doors at 479 Colborne Street in 1968, by Maria Risi and her husband Virgil-

io. Maria died in April of last year. Virgilio passed away a number of years ago.

The Risi’s took over the space that was once occupied by Alonzo Music when it moved to a bigger location.

OPINION Burtch Dilemma EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW We asked young adult readers about their opinions on the Burtch land controversy and a lot of them told us they did not know what or where Burtch even is — or who is even fighting for it.

Some readers complained about a perceived lack of co-operation between councils and the example that is being set.

It seems that the younger generation doesn’t care. Maybe because they don’t benefit either way or maybe their apathy is symptomatic of all post-millennials, but who gets to plant crops on top of the old jail isn’t the hottest topic right now. Everyone seems too busy with more importnat things like Snapchat or Instagram.

Also, it’s a very difficult subject to discuss.

Here on Six Nations, views on the Elected System versus the Traditional ways are deeply entrenched with rhetoric and dogma. Facts are not important in these discussions. We have learned to identify as either “us guys” or “yous guys” as they say in the local idiom.

Even today the U.S./Canadian border is inconveniencing our ancient family connections. Our nations have been suffering ever since the colonizing masters began programming us as Indians, compartmentalizing us on reserves and purposefully disconnecting us from one another.

Now Canada has created a false dilemma by forcing the people of Six Nations to choose between councils. With HDI now in charge of the Onondaga Longhouse it feels like we are being forced to choose between the old band council and the new one. Are there any 3rd options?

Imagine what a Six Nations wide referendum on the Burtch lands would look like. Why do we have to choose between one farmer over the other? Are we willing to explore other non-farming options that could provide a greater benefit for everyone on Six Nations?

The Mohawks of Tyendinaga have their own airport, for example. Maybe Six Nations could use its very own airport on Burtch as an exercise of sovereignty. For purposes of national security we should have jurisdiction over our own airspace as well as land and water.

Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council upholds lease to farmer on Burtch lands OSWE:GE GRAND RIVER TERRITORY- The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council have always put peace and respect first in finding resolution to issues on Haudenosaunee lands.

We encourage the Crown and Ontario to do the same.

In that spirit, the Confederacy announces it will continue to uphold a lease it has signed with a Six Nations woman to farm the former Burtch Correctional Institute lands, the Confederacy announced at its meeting Saturday June 3 2017. Since 2006 the Confederacy has been working with Ontario to rehabilitate the lands, and has controlled and managed the lands since then.

“Ontario made a commitment to return that land back to the Confederacy under the same terms as the original title of the land under the Haldimand Treaty,” said Mohawk Chief Allen MacNaughton. This commitment was made to the Confederacy during negotiations with the Crown in 2006. In exchange the chiefs had agreed to work with the people to bring down the barricades. The chiefs worked hard at this, and the barricades did come down, he said.”

In March 2017 Six Nations Elected Band Council worked with Ontario to register the lands under a corporation, which is contrary to the original terms of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784.

“Now the Six Nations Elected Band Council says it has formed a trust, and the band council has offered us a seat on their board, diminishing this council from a government to an individual on a board. Our council has decided we will stand by that lease that we have granted,” he said.

He added, “If the Confederacy was willing to accept the land going back to reserve status under the Indian Act we could have resolved this in two days, not three years and the current band chief was in sitting in the room and heard that.”

The lands have been placed under the Confederacy lands registry.

The forgotten Viking and Indian Wars

By Jim Windle

TURTLE ISLAND – Norse Viking settlements have been discovered and reported, and then quickly forgotten about, several times over the past 500 years since Columbus supposedly “discovered” America in 1492.

Of course, the Indigenous populations of the “New World” knew very well they were not lost and needed no one to “find” them, but such is Whiteman’s history.

To those who actually met the strange, ironclad beings with funny hats more than 1,000 years ago, this was something to remember.

North American history, especially among the Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French and British explorers, begins when Columbus accidentally sailed into a whole new world, much different from his own.

But in the years that followed, as European and American Indian populations began to intermingle more, stories of strange man-beasts invading their shores hundreds of years earlier began to circulate.

For political reasons and the intrinsic arrogance of Europeans, many of these stories were rejected and never even mentioned again in history books, at least until this past few decades.

Many of these accounts that were not destroyed, were ignored, but with modern electronics, better surveying techniques and archaeological monitoring, some of these stories have been given new life and are being looked at more seriously by today’s broader thinking historical investigators.

With today’s technologies, infrared images can now be captured from more than 400 miles into space, which has opened new doors into a distant past. They reveal scars of ancient well-used roads, pathways and potential village sites, which have called into question favourite old pet assumptions.

Sarah Parcak, a space archaeologist at the University of Alabama, pioneered the use of satellite imaging for archaeology.

“She carefully looks over maps of vast areas signs of discoloured soil and changes in vegetation, which are some features that indicate something may be hiding underneath the Earth's surface,” writes historian/ author, Robert Cahill.

Until recently, evidence uncovered on the east cost of what is now the United States, have been dismissed by the scholars and archaeologists as “interesting anomalies” but nothing to take too seriously. After

An artists rendition of the conflict but it probably didn't look anything like this at all. SUBMITTED PHOTO all, Columbus “discovered” America in 1492 right?

In Canada, however, the notion of Vikings co-habiting with local native tribes has been embraced and a replica Viking Village known as L'Anse aux Meadows (UNESCO World Heritage Site). It is promoted as the only known Viking settlement in North America.

Either way, it is pretty safe to say today that Columbus certainly was not the first to “discover” North America. There has been scattered evidence unearthed across the east coast of the continent that proves, beyond any shadow

of doubt that the inhabitants of Turtle Island, as the Haudenosaunee called North America, were visited by Asian, Middle Eastern as well as Viking explorers and travellers.

Remnants and traces of messages carved in stone, and even linguistic links have tied the North American invasion of Europeans to words found within certain east coast tribes.

If the writings of Norse adventurers can be trusted, there are many references that could easily and most likely describe several points along the coastline.

A rather obscure book

called New England’s Viking and Indian Wars was dedicated to the topic and written in the 1980s by former Massachusetts representative Robert Ellis Cahill.

In it he quotes from Norse folk literature and ancient first hand accounts and maps of voyages taken

by Leif Ericson and other Viking travellers from the Norwegian archives and museum.

In a series of land hops over several years, first to what is now Iceland and then the southern tip of Greenland, were known to have been made and well documented by those who settled there. From Greenland it would have been a short journey farther to the southeast for skilled mariners to navigate the north Atlantic and reach Labrador and Newfoundland.

Spoken history and casual mentions of odd visitors from beyond the great waters have been kept by the elders of many eastern coastal tribes.

But the Norse themselves were prolific writers of their journeys in a series of ancient hand written sagas. Lavish with colourful and sometimes exaggerated tales, these sagas contain shreds of evidence about a war between the native people of Vineland, as North America was

known to the Vikings, and the Biothuc, Mi’kmaq and Abenaki of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and others as they tried to make their way inland.

In a Norse saga, it records that there were around 2,000 Icelanders who went with Eric the Red and his sons to build a colony at Greenland in the year 999 A.D. Greenland was almost devoid of trees, which the settlers needed for home building and fuel. Hearing of fishermen blown off course describing three large islands, two covered in trees and one barren rock, Lief Ericson put a crew together to find the resources his colony needed.

According to three different sagas, “The Flatey Book”, “Hauksbok” and Vinland NorseSaga,”all written 100-years after the events, Eric left Greenland on an 80-foot “knorr” with 36 Vikings to explore to the south.

It is believed the village known in Norse tales as “Helluland” may have been Labrador or the tip of Newfoundland since the word in Norwegian means “land of rocks”.

Further south they found “a flat forested land.”

Trust money missing HAMILTON — A Hamilton law firm has reported itself to the Upper Law Society of Canada after millions has gone missing.

The Findlay McCarthy Professional Corporation says it spent $1.5 million it was holding in trust for the businesses and residents of Caledonia.

The money was part of a class action settlement following the 2006 Six Nations land reclamation.

In a statement, the firm says the settlement funds were spent to cover administrative costs of managing the class action compensation plan.

TORONTO — Funding special education for First Nations students from reserves in Ontario needs to be completely overhauled to provide stability and predictability.

This in a new report, which says the federal government must end its practice of ``arbitrary and capped'' funding.

The document is the

result of a human-rights case launched by the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation over what it called inadequate special education services for children living on reserves in the province.

The case is on hold while First Nations and both levels of government try to devise solutions to the problems.

The Brant Community Healthcare System will receive an additional $2.4 million in funding from the recent provincial budget. This additional funding will provide faster access to health care, expand crucial services and procedures and improve the experience of patients.

BCHS President Jim Hornell says some of the funding will go to support nursing units during times of high volumes of patients in care.

Hornell says the entire Brant Healthcare System has been at 100 per cent occupancy for the last year. He is hoping the funding will help relieve some of that inpatient volume.

flooded reserve WINNIPEG — The first new houses are on the way for a Manitoba First Nations community devastated by flooding six years ago.

The Lake St. Martin reserve was hit hard in the spring of 2011 and almost 2,000 people had to leave their homes.

Last November, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada put out a bid for tenders to build 150 homes in the community.

Many have been living in hotels and rental suites in Winnipeg and elsewhere during the long wait to return home.

Matix Lumber held a cel-

ebration Thursday morning to mark the first home leaving its yard and heading to the reserve, about 225 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.

Lake St. Martin Chief Adrian Sinclair, members of his council and representatives of the provincial and federal government attended the ceremony.

In January, the Manitoba Court of Appeal approved a class-action lawsuit by four First Nations, including Lake St. Martin, against the provincial government.

The central question is whether the province's action to fight the high water

caused the extensive Interlake flooding that affected 7,000 people.

Manitoba responded to the flood by diverting water from the Assiniboine River system to Lake Manitoba. The First Nations argue that spared the urban south from the brunt of the damage at the expense of their area.

The province has always denied the allegation.

The federal government's cost of accommodating displaced First Nations members had topped $90 million by 2014.

that landfall was, but many believe it was in the Boston, or Cape Cod. The Vikings called the timid, tribesmen and women they encountered from time to time as “Skraelings” a derogatory work for “inferior people.”

Always enterprising, the Vikings decided that these “Skraelings” would bring a pretty penny in Europe, and plotted to kidnap a few of them before they left the New England shores back to Greenland. After several volleys, the warriors’ arrows ran out and they turned back towards land.

One tale speaks of a group of Vikings exploring inland coming across nine Natives sleeping under their canoes. They pounced upon them and record that one ran off into the woods while the others stood and fought. All of them were killed by the Vikings iron broad axes and swords.

After a few days, the Vikings packed up without their Native booty to head home when a large contingent of Warriors surrounded the Viking vessel, launching volleys of arrows until they ran out and turned back to shore. Eric’s brother Thorvald was killed in the attack.

In 1010, another expedition of 158 was sent from Greenland to establish a permanent colony on this

“newly found land.” It was named Hop (Hope). At first the interaction and trade between the Vikings and the Natives was good and mutually beneficial, until a Native man was killed

by Viking merchant who accused him of steeling an axe head.

Weeks later, a war party of canoes loaded with angry warriors descended on the village. The Norse Saga says, of the battle that ensued, “They lifted up on a pole a black round object, the size of a sheep’s belly, and let it fly making a terrible noise when it hit the ground.” This so frightened the Viking men that they ran away in terror.

But Freydis, daughter of Eric the Red, was shocked at the retreat of the Viking men, that she picked up a sward from the side of a dead Viking, “she let fall her shift and slapped her breasts with the sword”.

The sight stopped the advance of the warriors in their tracks, thinking her to be demented. Freydis became a cultural hero after the battle which cost two Viking lives and four Native lives and as many as thirty other Vikings were wounded in the clash.

In 1341, 350 years later, as many as 9,000 Vikings divided into in two colonies called Greenland home. It isn’t a stretch of the imag-

ination to believe many other voyages and contacts with indigenous inhabitants likely occurred.

Remains of Norman style stone structures dot the coast from Florida to Nova Scotia.

What became of the Vikings? It is believed they abandoned their colonial efforts in North America due to the hostile weather and fear of the native populations, most going home to Greenland, Iceland or Norway. But others stayed and mixed with the native tribes, leaving genetic traces in the form of facial hair, red hair and fair skin.

Several Mi’kmaq words are strikingly similar to ancient Norwegian maritime words. Old mariner maps from well before 1492 have shown Vineland to be a separate large island to the west of the European mainland.

More evidence is being uncovered every year by archaeologists and treasure hunters I recent years to give anew year to old voices left in stone carved messages and markers written in an ancient, obsolete Norwegian script detailing who had passed that way, when and why.

Although our understanding of history changes with new information, the truth about it remains the same.

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.

Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear.

Everything works automatically.

There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to

reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

MMIW Inquiry urged to earn trust of family members The Canadian Press WHITEHORSE — Families of missing and murdered indigenous women told a national inquiry on its final day of hearings in Whitehorse that they have little faith in the process and their trust must be earned.

The emotional hearings ran for three days and heard from dozens of family members of girls or women who have disappeared or been killed.

Each story was unique, but the '60s Scoop, residential schools and police indifference were constant themes.

On Thursday, testimony took a more critical turn at times, with some speakers expressing wariness of the inquiry and urging the commissioners not to let them down. ``I really don't trust people like you guys,'' said Terry Ladue, the microphone shaking in his hand.

Ladue said his mother Jane Dick was beaten to death after he and his siblings were seized in the '60s Scoop, when indigenous children were taken and placed in non-indigenous homes. He said the effect was that he never learned how to love and spent 13 years ``with a needle stuck up his arm.''

He said he doesn't trust the inquiry because all government has ever done is hurt him, take him away from his parents and throw his people in jail. Ladue urged the commissioners to do more than just talk _ they must take action to elevate indigenous people in Canadian society, he said. ``Dealing with this today, for me, is letting go of something that I haven't let go of for 52 years, and that's the anger I have towards the government officials and the anger I have towards the

RCMP. ``I don't trust. You want my trust, you've got to earn my trust. If I see this fall apart, I'll never trust again.''

Several listeners, including commissioner Qajaq Robinson, were crying by the end of Ladue's testimony.

Chief Commissioner Marion Buller has said it's crucial to the future of the inquiry that the Whitehorse hearings are successful. Other community meetings won't be held until the fall, and families from across the country have been critical of delays and poor communication.

Buller choked up as she delivered closing remarks, saying the spirits of missing and murdered women and girls joined the hearings. ``In three days we've heard many stories of loss, we've heard anger, we've heard pain, but we've also heard courage and strength and hope,'' she said. ``But perhaps the most moving thing of all that's happened is the magic of the healing that's started. You can feel it here.''

In addition to the public hearings, where families of 14 missing or murdered women and girls spoke inside a large white tent decorated with colourful blankets, a number of participants spoke privately with statement-takers.

Shaun LaDue, who uses a capital ``D'' in his last name unlike his brother, said he felt respected and heard after testifying about their mother. He also spoke about his experience as a transgender man. ``The hearings so far to me seem to be going very good. The commissioners are listening to us with their heart and their soul and they're very responsive to what the Yukon

First Nations families have to say,'' he said in an interview. ``I have good hope _ a big, strong hope _ that when they go across Canada, people will see that they're working their hardest.''

Joan Jack, a lawyer and sister-in-law of murder victim Barbara Jack, has criticized the quasi-judicial format of the inquiry.

She told reporters earlier Thursday that the formal processes, including the swearing-in of witnesses, were making many participants uncomfortable.

But as her family rose to speak Thursday afternoon, they were not asked to swear to tell the truth. Instead, they were dressed in red Tlingit regalia, which means they were ``standing in their truth,'' she said.

A lawyer approached her family in the morning to say that the commissioners understood her concerns, Jack said in an interview. ``I think the commission responded to my public criticisms that using the Canadian legal system and filling it with brown people isn't sufficient. We have to do it different,'' she said.

Inquiry spokeswoman Bernee Bolton said that under Yukon law, there is flexibility in how people are sworn in that reflects cultural diversity.

Jack said she still has concerns about the inquiry, including that the lead legal counsel is not aboriginal. ``I don't have a lot of faith that this process is going to produce anything,'' she told the commissioners. ``That's why I said to my family, 'Why should we come?' I said, 'Because we'll heal ourselves. If anything, we can find reconciliation within our family.' ''

NatioN News Dakota Access pipeline, law DAPL oil flows officers had close relationship all our relations.

The Canadian Press BISMARCK, ND — A private security firm hired by the developer of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline conducted an aggressive, multifaceted operation against protesters that included a close working relationship with public law enforcement, documents obtained by an online magazine indicate.

Native American groups that opposed the pipeline say the report from The Intercept lends credence to their belief that law enforcement favoured private industry in the monthslong dispute. But law enforcement and Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners say their concern was everyone's safety.

The Dakota Access pipeline will move North Dakota oil to a distribution point in Illinois. ETP plans to begin commercial operations Thursday. The company says the pipeline is safe, but opponents fear environmental harm.

Thousands of protesters

last year descended on a camp set up in North Dakota near a section of the pipeline that runs under a Missouri River reservoir upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. Pipeline opponents frequently clashed with police, and 761 arrests happened between August and February.

The documents show that ETP hired security firm TigerSwan, which was founded by retired military special forces members. The Intercept posted some of the documents it obtained online. It said it received more than 100 documents from a TigerSwan contractor and more than 1,000 through public records requests.

TigerSwan used military-style counter-terrorism measures against what it considered ``an ideologically driven insurgency,'' the documents show. Its tactics included protest camp flyovers, video surveillance, social media monitoring, public relations _ described in one document as ``pro-DAPL

propaganda'' _ and interactions with law enforcement. That included placing a liaison in the law enforcement operations centre. ``Excellent comments from lead LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers) today regarding planning and communication from our personnel,'' says a TigerSwan report from Sept. 14.

The relationship was heavily criticized Tuesday by the Lakota People's Law Office. ``Rather than one-sidedly protecting the private interests of oil corporations, these state and federal law enforcement agencies should have been also protecting the constitutional rights of those who were being criminally conspired against, disrupted, and physically attacked by the oil company's private mercenary army of Middle East-based anti-terrorist specialists,'' Chief Counsel Daniel Sheehan said in a statement.

Indigenous Environmental Network organizer Dallas Goldtooth said in a statement that ``police and

security were essentially given permission to carry out war-like tactics'' on protesters.

One particularly violent clash happened in late November, when protesters trying to push past a blocked highway bridge were turned back by authorities using tear gas, rubber bullets and water sprays. Police said protesters were throwing rocks, asphalt and water bottles at officers.

The Morton County Sheriff's Office, which spearheaded the response to the protests, said its communications with TigerSwan security weren't unusual and ``gave law enforcement situational awareness in order to monitor and respond to illegal protest activity.''

ETP said in a statement that ``the safety of our employees and the communities in which we live and work is our top priority. In order to ensure that we do have security plans in place, we do communicate with law enforcement agencies as appropriate.”

attacked her.

Court documents indicate the woman had trouble focusing and answering questions, so the hearing judge agreed with a Crown prosecutor's request to have her spend the weekend in custody.

The complainant was forced to testify about the June 2014 assault in Edmonton while she was shackled and handcuffed and, on at least two occasions, she had to travel in the same prisoner van as her attacker.

A different judge who

found the man guilty on several serious charges noted the woman's treatment in his decision last December. ``She was clearly distraught and, using her word, 'panicking.' She was somewhat belligerent,'' Justice Eric Macklin wrote. ``Concerns were expressed as to her behaviour and whether she would voluntarily reattend on the following Monday to continue her testimony'' Macklin expressed regret that the young woman, who was homeless

and living on the street, was kept in custody. ``She was remanded into custody on the mistaken belief that she was 'a flight risk' and that she was simply incapable of participating properly in the court proceedings,'' he wrote. ``Her treatment by the justice system in this respect was appalling. She is owed an apology. Unfortunately, no apology can be extended to her as she was tragically shot and killed in an unrelated incident.''

She died seven months

BISMARCK, ND — The $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline began shipping oil for customers on Thursday, as Native American tribes that opposed the project vowed to continue fighting.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners announced that the 1,200-mile line carrying North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution point in Illinois had begun commercial service. The Dakota Access pipeline and the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline from Illinois to

the Gulf Coast together make up the $4.8 billion Bakken Pipeline system, which ETP said has commitments for about 520,000 barrels of oil daily. ``The pipeline will transport light, sweet crude oil from North Dakota to major refining markets in a more direct, cost-effective, safer and more environmentally responsible manner than other modes of transportation, including rail or truck,'' the company said in a statement.

TORONTO — A new Anti-Racism Act, 2017 has been passed, making Ontario a leader in fighting systemic racism.

The Act gives provincial governments traction to ensure policies and procedures are free of the histori-

cal racist tendencies of past legislation.

The province says the Act will ensure those impacted by anti-Black racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism have their voices heard and help work together for racial equality.

Justice minister 'shocked' by treatment of sex assault victim The Canadian Press EDMONTON — Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley has launched an independent investigation into what she calls the failure of the provincial justice system at every level in the way it treated the victim of a vicious sexual assault.

A 28-year-old indigenous woman from central Alberta was forced to spend five nights in the Edmonton Remand Centre during her testimony at a 2015 preliminary hearing for the man who

after her testimony.

Macklin noted the woman, whose name is protected under a publication ban, was never missing and had never failed to appear. ``Nevertheless ... she remained in shackles, emphasized again that she was the victim and not surprisingly, said the following: 'I'm the victim and look at me. I'm in shackles. This is fantastic. This is a great . . . system.'''

Ganley has hired Manitoba criminal lawyer Roberta Campbell to in-

vestigate what happened and recommend policies to ensure such treatment never happens again. ``When I was made aware of this situation, I was shocked, angry and heartbroken,'' said Ganley in a written statement released Monday. ``In my opinion, there were obvious mistakes and poor decisions made in this case. The way she was treated in the system is absolutely unacceptable.''

Ganley said she has already apologized to the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Feds spend $707,000 fighting child rights The Canadian Press OTTAWA — The federal justice minister's office says it spent $707,000 in legal fees following a landmark human rights tribunal decision on First Nations child welfare.

Charlie Angus, an NDP MP and leadership candidate who obtained the information through a parliamentary request, questions why the legal tab was necessary. ``I am appalled that this government would spend so much money on fees to lawyers to fight justice for children,'' he said in an interview. ``When is this disconnect with this government going to end?''

In January 2016, the tribunal found the federal government underfunded the delivery of child services on reserve and has prodded the government on its progress since then.

Last week, it chastised the government, saying it has not fully implemented Jordan's Principle _ a policy designed to keep children from being caught in spending disputes between governments.

It went as far as to suggest the federal government's failure to fully implement Jordan's Principle may have contributed to the suicides of two teenagers in Wapekeka First

Nation in northwestern Ontario earlier this year.

Ottawa has proactively identified as many First Nations children in need as possible to get them the services they require, he added, saying 4,900 requests that have been approved since March 2017. ``I find it really disturbing that the government is playing fast and loose with the numbers when children are dying,'' Angus said, pointing to recent deaths of First Nations children in foster care Ontario.

Earlier this week, First Nations leaders travelled to Queen's Park to ask that the RCMP intervene in the investigations of two other deaths in Thunder Bay, Ont. The body of 17-year-old Tammy Keeash from North Caribou Lake First Nation was found in the Neebing-McIntyre floodway on May 7, while the body of 14-year-old Josiah Begg, of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation was found less than two weeks later. ``Children and young people are dying all the time because they are being placed at risk, away from their families without the basic supports that other kids take for granted,'' Angus said. ``That's at the heart of the human rights tribunal ruling.''

to testify must have the decision approved by the chief Crown prosecutor. ``I don't think it's too strong to say that this is a horrific situation and I can't imagine what her family must feel about how this woman has been treated,'' said Kim Stanton, legal director for LEAF, Women's Legal Education and Action Fund. ``I hope that it is unusu-

al because it's beyond appalling.''

Stanton said the woman's treatment highlights how the justice system continues to fail victims of sexual assault. ``This was a homeless indigenous woman. It's beyond belief,'' Stanton said. ``It's just egregious that she had to spend the weekend there and subsequent nights. Surely

somebody in that courtroom could have come up with an alternative solution.''

Lance Blanchard, the man who attacked the woman, was found guilty of aggravated assault, kidnapping, unlawful confinement, aggravated sexual assault, possession of a weapon and threatening to cause death or bodily harm.

To spin or not to spin

By TRT Staff From Pie Face to Hatchimals, toy trends tend to take off without warning and without much explanation — the imaginations of youth mold the toy world as they fuel the toy economy.

In past years there have been many honourable mentions of toys that flew off of the shelves such as, Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch Kids Dolls. But, one of the most recent “toys” that have become a sensation is the fidget spinner.

These simple spinning mechanisms are advertised as helping with concentration and stress relief, but their initial creation came from Inventor Catherine Hettinger.

Ontario ends snapping turtle hunting TORONTO — Ontario's decision to end hunting of snapping turtles is a welcome move, according to the David Suzuki Foundation, Canadian Herpetological Society and Ontario Nature.

Ontario lists the snapping turtle as a species of "special concern," which means that although it is not yet HOW TO PROPERLY (AND SAFELY) HELP A TURTLE CROSS THE ROAD endangered or threatened, a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats could endanDO ger or threaten it.

adult deaths. Hunting adds to the cumulative adverse impacts of other significant threats to the species, making recovery more difficult and expensive.”

"Snapping turtles mature at a very late age," says Scott Gillingwater, past president of the Canadian Herpetological Society. "It generally takes 17 to 20 years before a female can lay her first clutch of eggs, making populations of this species exceptionally vulnerable to increased mortality of adults. Ending hunting of snapping turtles is an important and necessary first step in the recovery of this species, an outcome that all groups that value nature and the outdoors should support."

"At a local scale, the hunt can have disastrous impacts on some populations," says David Suzuki Foundation Ontario science projects manager Rachel Plotkin. "Ending the hunt is important not only at the local scale but also on the global stage, as turtles are in decline across the planet."

"I commend the government for embracing a precautionary approach and heeding the science," says Ontario Nature conservation and education director Anne Bell.

"Ending the hunt helps to give snapping turtles a fighting chance and frees us up to focus attention on dealing with other threats such as wetland loss and road kills."

Arrows are still winning, but just

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — It was a one-goal game until the Arrows opened it up with three unanswered goals in the third period of Sunday’s Jr. “A” contest against the Barrie Lakeshores to recover from a 3-1 deficit for a 6-3 win at the ILA. The Arrows are 6-1 in this early season, but they

are not dominating like other Six Nations franchises. On one hand, the games are a lot more interesting to watch than some of the blowouts Six Nations fans have been watching with the Warriors, Rivermen and Rebels, but it appears the Arrows are still experimenting with lines and working in as many players as they can to make

final decisions of who will stick with the team down the stretch.

Fortunately there is enough raw talent on the roster to be winning and you can’t knock that.

The Lakeshores took advantage of a slow start by the Arrows who had to accept a 2-1 first period score. Austin Lane and Brenden Welsh scored for

Pro-Fit Chiefs enjoy early success

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — The Mann Cup defending ProFit Six Nations Chiefs are off to an encouraging start with two wins so far against Cobourg (14-3) May 30, and Thursday’s 14-11 win in Brampton over the Excelsiors.

At the Brampton Memorial Centre, the Excelsiors were first out of the shoot with three early goals from Jordan Dance, Phillip Caputo and Bennett Drake within the first minute and a 38-seconds.

After giving their heads a shake at what had just happened, the Chiefs responded. Dwayne VanEvery scored the Chiefs first goal at 3:19 assisted

by Craig Point and Pat

Corbett. Vaughn Harris made it 3-2 from Jordan Durston and Corbett at 5:06 and three minutes later Durston scored from Brier Jonathan and Shane Simpson. Ryan Benesch kept the train going at 8:35 from VanEvery and Brandon Bomberry. Point scored the Chiefs third goal within a minute from Benesch and VanEvery, and suddenly the Brampton fans went quiet looking at the score clock showing 5-5 after holding a 3-0 lead.

Benesch threw a bucket of cold water on any thoughts of a quick Brampton rally when he scored from Brandon Bomberry 46 seconds into the second. Craig Point put a stamp on it a minute later as the Chiefs

quickly took a 7-5 lead.

It was a high scoring period with Six Nations scoring eight and Brampton six for a two period score showing the Chiefs leading 13-11.

The defence tightened up at both ends in the third period when goalie Brandon Miller shut down all Brampton shooters in the final 20 minutes, and Jordan Durston put the game to bed, for the 14-11 final score.

Because the Chiefs have chosen Tuesday nights as their home nights again this year, coverage of the Chiefs this season will be tough, since Tuesday evening is our print deadline.

Ryan Benesch opened his Major Series season with an eight-point night (2G-6A) while Craig Point and Vaughn Harris each chipped in with five-point outings, (3G,2A).

Also striking up points were Kyle Jackson (2G,2A), and Brendan Bomberry (1G,2A), Wayne VanEvery (1G,2A), Jordan Durston (1G,1A), David Brock (2A), J. Gill (2A), S. Simpson (1G,1A), and Mike Raut with an assist.

Quinn Powless earned two assists for Brampton.

After only two games played so far, Ryan Benesch is red hot, leading the league with five goals and eight assists for 13 points. Craig point is next with six goals and four assists.

The Chiefs will be running a lot of players through the first part of the season as is usual at the Major Series Lacrosse level of the game. Many teams, and is seems especially at Six Nations must wait for players to complete the NLL season before coming to camp. For that reason, General manager Dwayne Jacobs in the past has referred to the fort half of the season as sort of like training camp when he and the coaches can get a good look at the prospects heading into the meat of the season.

The Chiefs were back home Tuesday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) to open a two game home stand with the Oakville Rock. Friday night June 9, they take on the Rock again at the ILA at 8 p.m.

Hello Mr. Windle;

After reading your article “Plan C” may I suggest “Plan P” which is the Penguins.

They actually have a very strong connection to Brantford. The Civic Centre in Brantford, was the equivalence of Dune-

din Florida for the Blue Jays. The Penguins used to practice in the off season there.

As a matter of fact, myself and two classmates from Farrington school (now defunct), interviewed Canadian left winger Keith McCreary there.

I sent him a letter thanking him for the interview and he responded with a note and an autographed postcard of himself. Anyone could watch the practices, any time, free of charge. That was in about 1968 or ’69, I was in Grade 6 Grade 7.

I've been a die-hard Pen-

guins fan ever since.

P.S. They've won a boatload of Stanley Cups since. You too could root for another "local" team after the Leafs go golfing.

Yours, Diet (Dietrich) Rother.

Cheers

Josh Miller has really come into his own as a serious threat to any Rebels` challenger and deserving of a good look by the NLL. He is second in team scoring behind Layne Smith and has developed into a solid playmaker as well. Miller boasts 60 points in 16 games. PHOTO

15-1, Rebels still piling up points

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Rebels kept the peddle to the metal this week by embarrassing the Welland Generals 20-5 in front of their hometown fans.

Seventeen Rebels earned points against the Generals with Wes Whitlow leading the way with four goals and four assists followed by Rickey Smith (3G,3A), Josh Miller (1G,6A), Layne Smith (2G,2A), Gates Abrams (2G,2A), Kahn General (2G,1A), and Bo Peltier (1G,2A).

It wasn’t as if Daniel Hill was sitting in a lawn chair with a good book.

He faced 42 shots giving up five. At the other end, the Rebels burned through two goalies with 64 shots on the Welland goal.

Rebels’ Layne Smith continues his torrid pace towards crushing the OLA Jr. B league record book for points and goals in a season, and the season is far from over. Friday night at the ILA, Smith contributed 10-points by way of five goals and five assists in

leading his Rebels past the Windsor Clippers 218.

Smith now has 65 goals and 29 assists in 16 games played, that is a 5.875 points-per-game average. Josh Miller is next with 60 points, and after a huge eight-point game Sunday, Wes Whitlow is now third in Rebels scoring with 49 points in 12 games played.

It was 6-4 after 20 minutes and 13-8 after 40 minutes with the Rebels pretty well scoring at will.

Assistant coaches Terry Hill and Nick Skye handed the bench duties in Welland as head coach Miles General had to take the game off, but the results were the same. The Rebels have found great success under their rookie coach so far this season with a record of 15-1 for 30-points, winning most by wide margins.

This week’s games include a Thursday night tiff with the Hamilton Bengals at the Mountain Arena, in Hamilton before hosting the Elora Mohawks at the ILA Friday night at 8 p.m.

Undefeated Rivermen still adding power

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Rivermen are 9-0 after Sunday’s 10-9 thriller at the Gaylord Powless Arena against the Owen Sound North Stars.

The North Stars have given the Rivermen fits this young season losing one goal games to the league leaders both times they have met.

On May 13th, the Rivermen outlasted the Stars 9-8 at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre.

The game also marked the debut of Alex Kedoh Hill in a Rivermen jersey and it seemed to fit very well as Hill recorded four goals and three assists in his debut performance.

“It’s good to come home and play for my hometown crowd,” said Hill following the game.

Last NLL season Hill wore a Buffalo Bandits uniform and collected 12 goals and 20 assists before the Bandits were eliminated.

He graduated the Six Nations Arrows of the Jr. A in 2011 with 46 goals

and 71 assists for 117 points in 22 regular season games as well as 14 goals and 26 assists for 40 points in the playoffs.

Why the Rivermen?

“I’m proud to be here. I’m proud to be living here at Six Nations. With the Rivermen, as you could see tonight, it’s the players around me. It’s easy to play off of these guys.

They are high intensity and high I.Q. and hopefully we can just keep on going.”

Being under 30-years of age, Hill’s NLL rights remain with last year’s team, Buffalo. But he is free to play the off-sea-

son wherever he wants, and coach Stu Hill is glad it is with the Rivermen.

“We are always looking to improve,” says coach Stu Montour, who led the Rivermen to the 2015 Presidents Cup. He sees Kedoh Hill’s arrival as another big step towards his goal of returning the President’s Cup to Six Nations.

The North Stars were down 1-0 seconds into the game after team captain Mike Miller, scored unassisted. Owen Sound did what they needed to do by scoring quickly, not allowing the Rivermen to gain momentum. Kyle

Childerhose made it 1-1 at 2:49 and Drew Quinlan gave the Stars the 2-1 lead at the 16 minute mark.

Thirteen goals were split between the Rivermen and the North Stars in the second period, with Six Nations taking the extra goal to draw even at 8-8 with one period left to go in regulation time. Hill, opened the period with back-to-back goals and added a third to close second frame. He also opened the third period with his fourth tally of the game.

The Stars would not relent and the third period

became intense. It took a miscue by the Stars and an empty netter scored

by Dauton Miller to put the game away on another “W” on the Rivermen side of the ledger keeping their 9-0 winning streak alive. Scoring for the Rivermen included Kedoh Hill (4G,3A), Cory Bomberry (2G,4A), Dauton Miller (1G,4A), Mike Miller (1G,1A), Dwayne Porter (1G,1A), Greg Longboat Jr. (1G,1A), and Brock Farmer (1G).

The Rivermen will host the Brooklin Merchants at the GPA Saturday, at 7 pm in their only game of the week.

SIX NATIONS – The Wilmott Wild handed the Six Nations Rebels only its second loss of the OJBLL season to date, 9-8, at the Wilmott Arena, Sunday.

Despite the loss, the Ontario Jr. C lacrosse league is looking at this year’s Six Nations Warriors as the target to aspire to as the season progresses. This powerhouse squad had

scored 177 goals while the stonewall defense and goaltending has allowed only 74 goals-against.

Friday night the Warriors took yet another easy win against Whitby registering a 14-3 victory at the McKinney Rink No. 1. The Warriors were coming off Thursday night’s 24-2 cakewalk past the Fergus Thistles in Fergus. Token resistance was put up

by the Thistles as it was 7-1 after the first period and 18-2 after an 11-goal outburst in the second period.

Associate Player, goalie Mike Martin-Abel earned his fourth Jr. C win in the Warriors goal, backstopping wins against Whitby, Fergus, Mimico and Caledon.

The Warriors will visit Mimico Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. for their only game of the week.

NAIG Kicks Off for Three Local Athletes

By Chezney Martin

NEW CREDIT – An event planned to showcase some of the sports that will be played at the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) within the Mississaugas of the New Credit Firs Nation Community, also recognized three young athletes from the community that will be representing in the upcoming NAIG event.

Both Mackenzie General and Ryann LaForme will be playing baseball, and Caleb Deuce Martin will be playing golf as representative athletes for Team Ontario.

NAIG 2017 Communications Coordinator Brittney Sault explained that the community feast that followed the opening remarks by several officials and the announcement of the partnership with Hydro One, also opened the doors to recognize the triumphs of the athletes.

“We're here celebrating the athletes,” said Sault.

“It's amazing that we have three here that are a part of Team Ontario.”

General has been playing for four years from the PW level, and LaForme has been playing for six. Both agreed that they're feeling a lot of pride in being able to play as representatives from their home community.

“Personally I feel very proud [to be able to represent my community],” said Laforme. “Not a lot of kids are able to actually go out and do stuff like this because they don't have support at home.”

While General explained that she under-

stand that she has new responsibilities as a youth athlete.

“I feel like I'm being a role model to younger people because I'm showing them how far, if you're dedicated to a sport, how far you can go,” said General.

Both of them explained that they enjoy where baseball has taken them to this point, and LaForme said she has her sights set on climbing higher.

“I want to play college ball and I want to eventually get to the Junior National level and then Senior, Team Canada.”

As players on Team Ontario, the two will be playing as a unit with other indigenous athletes from across Ontario. They both said that they enjoyed the experience of meeting their teammates.

“I thought it was really cool because you get to meet new people and get to know their interests and where they come from, their back ground and how their community is different from ours,” said LaForme.

“We got to show them what we have here, and got to learn about what they do and we bonded,” said General.

The games are set to begin later this summer.

Legalizing Canada continued from page 12 lovely sight to see the happy smiling faces of those eager young girls.”

Though Megarry focuses distinctly on the St. Paul’s school students in her memoir she makes cryptic yet familiar descriptions of the racial variegation and disparities inherent in early 20th century British North America. Infused with traditions from her Irish background and loyalty to the British Crown, she makes ironic allusion to the historic significance in the creation of Canada and the relationship between Indians and whites.

In the midst of her memories of the children’s travels to England for the coronation she intersperses her commentary with reflections that include with broad overtures to the Mohawks. The journey to England fell within the school year just prior to summer holidays. Though the planners had originally scheduled the boys and girls to travel separately, Megarry reports that a Mohawk boy had been writing his final examinations and missed “the special train that the boys were traveling across Canada on” before catching their ship to London.

Consequently, as Nora told Megarry much later, the Mohawk Indian boy travelled with the girls. “(Nora) said he did not appear to mind being among the girls,” Megarry writes, ”She said she thought he enjoyed the trip very much.” Once aboard ship enroute to England the girls and Mohawk boy were treated to exotic fare and entertainments.

Parties and concerts kept the troupe busy though no doubt many of the details were provided by the social debutant Nora Gladstone. However, Megarry continues to pay homage to the Mohawks.

Even aboard a steam ship headed for the coronation in far off England, Megarry takes special pleasure in describing her protegé’s role in the ocean going entertainment. “For the concerts,” Megarry writes,” Nora donned her beautiful white buckskin dress and beaded head band with the two eagle feathers.”

Nora then proceeded to recite poems often cited by Megarry that were written by “the beloved

Indian Poet princess” E. Pauline Johnson the Mohawk Confederation Poet.

Whether the poem titles were exactly those performed by the young Blood student, Megarry highlights “As Red Men Die” and “Canadian Born” as exemplars of the unique relationship between British-Europeans and Indigenous peoples. Megarry beams in her report of Nora’s performative presence reciting words written by “Tekahionwake” that echoed the Irishwoman’s sense of the Indian’s “rightful place”: “We first saw light in Canada, the land beloved of God; We are the pulse of Canada, its marrow and its blood: And we, the men of Canada, can face the world and brag That we were born in Canada beneath the British flag.”

And to punctuate the bravery of the Indian children voyaging to distant England she recalls the defiance of the Mohawk captive in “As Red Men Die”.

This Johnson poem describes resistance to a threat that portrays Mohawks vividly as respected ally for what Megarry describes through the foundational principles of her own mission — echoing her “faith in God…that carries me through, (to) have courage and I am not a coward.” She sees this courage reflected by the stalwart Mohawk prisoner of the dread Huron foe who “loyal to his race, He bends to death—but never to disgrace” while mocking his torturers. Though beaten, burned and slashed at knifepoint, the Mohawk maintains his courage.

The presence of Mohawk lore with an Irish émigré working 2000 miles across the continent in a residential school provides an exotic and ironic context for Indigenous peoples’ rightful place in their Native land.

The place of Indigenous peoples never obscures Megarry’s own tightly held ultimate truths from western Christendom’s United Empire.

She repeats her conviction that Indigenous peoples hold a rightful place.

But what was that place based on? Where do ideas of Empire affect Indige-

nous Peoples international rights? What traditions rooted in extant worldviews appear in a woman’s writing who later would be lionized in the Lethbridge, Alberta lodge of the International Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE)? The answer lay in the odd transmission by Megarry of reverence for the Iroquois and reports of the adoption of Canada into the long house of many nations in 1869.

Not well known to contemporary Indigenous people is their rightful place. In 1867 the British Crown approved legislation called the British North America Act (BNA) that formed colonies north of the medicine line (the border created in 1760 by the Iroquois to separate the English and French) into the Dominion of Canada.

However, Queen Victoria understood that the preemptive right of the Indigenous people needed to be included. Conferring membership on the Iroquois People in the British Commonwealth in the late 1800s demonstrated the lofty position she accepted. So, Queen Victoria sent her son Prince Arthur the Duke of Connaught to the Iroquois people in Brantford at Her Majesty's Chapel.

On that Friday the 19-year-old Prince was given the condolence ceremony by Chief John Buck, made a chief (Rotiianer), and was adopted into the Long House with the name "Kar-a-kow-dye" which is the Mohawk wolf clan name Karakontie.

In Alberta, a residential school nurse recognized the rightful place of Indigenous peoples to accept the Canadian rafter into the continent-wide lodge. Canada exists because their Indigenous friends said it was good. As Megarry describes in her memoirs on that day in 1869 Canada was added as a rafter to the long house of many Nations."

Wish Canada a happy birthday on July 1. They became a legal nation because of us. How’s that for “aboriginal” history!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, remaining quiet about how you truly feel about someone will not be helpful this week. It’s better if you unleash your emotions and let your loved one know the truth.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Your dedication could be the key to putting things back on track at work, Taurus. After a little turbulence, everything will work out once more with you on task.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, profound change is never easy, but you have to give it a try. Start slowly with little things that may not affect you as much, then build up to bigger changes.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be feeling invincible this week because you haven’t run up against much resistance lately, Cancer. Just don’t believe everything will be a piece of cake.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are on a roll this week, and everything you encounter puts an extra spring in your step. Just don’t get so engrossed in your progress that you forget others.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your creativity is overflowing this week. This proves a boon to anyone who has asked for your assistance with party planning, decorating or other creative pursuits.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week you feel more comfortable working with others in a group than you do on solo projects.

This reinforces to others that you are a team player and a valuable asset.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Others won’t stand in your way this week, Scorpio.

You are a productivity powerhouse, and you are ready to overcome any and all obstacles.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be tempted to throw in the towel when things are not going your way. Give the situation a little more time before you make a foolhardy decision.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Others realize you are willing to put in long hours when you see the possibilities for a positive return, Capricorn. Share this enthusiasm with others and they might reciprocate.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Continue to be that steady rock that others can rely on, Aquarius. The waters could get a little choppy this week, and others will need a strong anchor to get them by.
