SNP ranked number one for student happiness

By TRT staff

OHSWEKEN – Students from Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) have much to be proud of, as SNP was recently ranked number one for happiest students by the website, Campus Rankings.

The school also scored well in several other categories including Friendliest Students (No. 3) and Most Diverse Student Body (No. 3).

The story was featured in the Huffington Post on November 3, raising awareness of the local post-secondary institute to a national level.

“We’re very pleased with the news and couldn’t agree more,” said SNP President and CEO, Rebecca Jamieson.

“Here at Six Nations Polytechnic, our number one priority is the

success and happiness of our students. As an Indigenous institution, part of our mission is to positively contribute to the well-being of all who share this land and to preserve our traditional knowledge while respectfully interacting and sharing information with other knowledge systems.”

“Essentially, what this means is that we provide education for everyone,” said Jamieson.

“You don’t have to come from a specific cultural background, or even be Indigenous to study at SNP. That being said, Indigenous knowledge and pedagogy (teaching methods) are woven throughout all of our programs, giving us a unique distinction from other colleges and universities.”

Here’s what some of the students had to say: “The staff at Polytechnic are always very positive and encouraging with all students.

They put forth the effort and are very caring.

They reach out to their students to see how they are doing [in] their studies and in life in general.

I highly recommend this school.”

“The culture at Six Nations polytechnic, is in a community fashion, the faculty are joined together to get one point across to those students attending, and that is to share what they know so the students can pass it down to generation after generation.”

“Six Nations Polytechnic offers great fun nights and great informational forums that sparks a light in every

soul. [A]t least twice a month. I would recommend to participate in Polytech's extra-curricular activities, you will not regret it.”

SNP is a unique post-secondary organization, recognized by community, government and institutions of higher learning, as a centre of excellence for Indigenous Knowledge. SNP’s mandate of Indigenous Sustainability calls for the perpetual use of Indigenous Knowledge (understood and expressed through language, values and actions) that provides capacity to live in harmony with the natural world, while restoring and maintaining a healthy existence in a nation with diverse citizenship and needs.

Police discover remains of missing Brantford man

By Nahnda Garlow BRANTFORD — Brantford Police say the remains of Andrew Osborne were discovered in a wooded lot in West Brant.

A citizen called 911 on November 7 to alert police they’d discovered human remains in a wooded lot off Sherwood Drive.

A statement from police says a sudden death investigation was launched immediately and an autopsy on November 9 identified the remains as Osborne.

Obsorne was reported missing in May 2017. Police were seeking information from the public, releasing video surveillance footage of the man walking near Brant Avenue and Church Street on the evening of May 10.

Police say the death is not suspicious in nature and no criminal investigation related to his death will be conducted.

Brantford Police said in a statement Osborne’s family thanked the public for their assistance and support, along with a request for privacy.

HAMILTON — A group of four McMaster University students has won a $50,000 prize to develop their idea for a handheld device that detects skin cancer.

The recent grads _ all students in electrical biomedical engineering at

the Hamilton university _ earned the International James Dyson Award for their final year project, called The sKan. They say the non-invasive device can diagnose melanoma by monitoring the heat emissions of various cells.

McMaster Youth gets Prolific

By Chezney Martin

HAMILTON – Students and attendants participate in an all-day event dubbed the Youth Rise Indigenous Youth Leadership Summit last week as part of the McMaster N7 Youth Movement.

The event was hosted by the Indigenous Studies Program and held at the L.R. Wilson Hall Liberal Arts Building.

Throughout the day, attendees interacted with Ohero:kon representatives, International Indigenous Youth Council (IIYC) representatives and Prolific the rapper to have voices on reconcilia-

tion and other issues affecting indigenous youth.

“This youth summit was to help youth with leadership and empowerment,” said Makasa Looking Horse. “Standing Rock began because of the youth, and it is an example of how much power the youth have — they simply have to put their mind to it and anything can happen.”

With the Ohero:kon program focusing on age-appropriate culture based teachings, and the IIYC focusing on creating positive change in respective indigenous communities it was easy for the impression of empower-

ment to be left on those in attendance. Subjects such as sexual identity, female empowerment, racism in communities and the power of one voice were covered throughout the day. Prolific the rapper also offered both a fun and spiritual form of guidance to top it off.

Aaron "Shawn" Turgeon, or Prolific the rapper is of Lakota, Mexican and European descent and a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. He helped to protect the people in Standing Rock, and brought himself to Canada to help in a documentary.

“I met Cody [Looking

Horse] while I was out in Hawai'i at the World Peace and Prayer Day and he came up to me and said 'hey, we're shooting a documentary of people's experiences at Standing Rock,' and then he said 'a lot of young people know about it, but they don't understand the importance of it, so more needs to be said,' and he said his goal was to make a documentary that gets other young people more involved.”

And that interaction was what eventually brought him to McMaster.

When asked about how he felt about interacting with the youth, his answer was simple.

“I just felt good,” he said. “I felt good hearing them and I felt good that people are choosing to do something, no matter how small the impact it has.”

“When you think of those youth at Standing Rock that first ran, they didn't know what to do.

Dedication pays off in spinal injury recovery

By Chezney Martin

SIX NATIONS – There are many inspiring stories within the families of Six Nations; familial connections that can only belong to the Onkwehon:we.

One of these stories belongs to Rodney Hill.

Hill underwent surgery in 2014 to fix an injury related to a degenerative spinal compression (DSC).

This left him unable to use his limbs and body and required rehabilitation and physiotherapy. But on top of the physical pain and rehab, he also found that he needed familial support. For this, both of his daughters stepped up to the plate to offer as much as they could.

“I had just had the twins,” said Hill's daughter, Ashley Cooke. “When he came out of surgery he was really mad and like 'I shouldn't have did this.'”

“It was really, really hard,” she said. “Spiritually, mentally and physically it was hard. I know Amber felt it even more because she knew that I couldn't be there as much as I wanted to.”

As Cooke was dealing with being a new mother to twins, her sister Amber Skye made sure that she could fill in the gaps along with having a family of her own.

“And I think it was really hard on the kids,” said Skye. “Especially Aleena because she was so close to him and then just to see him like that was really hard on them.”

“When we would leave they would cry because they didn't want to leave him, they wanted to take him home,” said Skye. “He couldn't feed himself or take care of himself and had to just wait until the nurses were available.”

Many times in situations like this, recovery

takes a long time because the process can bring about issues like depression and self-isolation.

Skye explained that it was like a balancing act of being busy with the kids, and trying to be there for Hill as he too went through depression. The two daughters explained that other family members including Hill's brothers and sisters would also take time to visit him, even if it was just to give him a ride in the car to help him get out of the house.

“I didn't even think that I would have the chance to get better and that's why I was depressed,” said Hill. “But these two [Ashley and Amber] were my inspiration, and then my grandkids, they were my fight.”

“I didn't want my grandkids to see some scraggly, old grandpa that gave up, because that would be so depressing. I at least wanted to show them that their grandpa had an injury, but he's a fighter,” he said. “And I'm glad that I was a pretty good dad to these girls, because when I needed them they were there for me.”

Throughout the course of his three-year recovery, Hill went from not being able to use his hands or body, to becoming a “gym rat”. He now visits the gym three to four times a week and has become an inspiration to those around him just as his family inspired him to fight to recover.

“If you sit within your four walls you're gonna fade away,” said Hill. “Rehab started my fight and they really got me going.

Then I got home and I went through depression at home and I just hid in the house. Then I thought, 'man there's Pro-Fit right around the corner, I'm gonna go to that.'”

“I never thought I'd be a

Left to right: Theo Skye, Aleena Skye, Sophie Skye, Avery Cooke, Rodney Hill, Ellie Cooke, Isabelle Skye and Emerson Cooke all pose together as healthy grandchildren with their healthy grandfather. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN gym rat, but I am now,” he said.

Pro-Fit Health Centre Manager Jason R. Hill said that Hill is definitely “remarkable and an inspiration to all of us here, including myself.”

“If he wanted to do something, I'd believe in Rod 100 per cent that he could do it,” said Jason.

“In the beginning, I would say that Rod needed a cheerleader, like someone on his team to remind him of what's possible,” he said. “And now it's kind of the opposite.

[Rod] cheers me up about realizing what's possible because it's not always easy to see the forest in the trees. That's a big thing because sometimes I feel frustrated if one of my patients or clients isn't doing too well and Rod is a constant reminder of what dedication is a possibility for. And there are some things that he was lucky with, but in that sense, I would say that most peo-

ple would be lucky to have even an ounce of his dedication and progress.”

Jason explained that Hill's story is also shared with newcomers to the gym.

“He means a lot as an inspiration to just us as health care professionals, but he also means a lot to people who go and talk to him,” he said. “When we give people that threeyear picture people are just surprised and go up and shake his hand, and really want to know about what he's done and be closer to that kind of success.”

From dealing with indifferent nurses and a depressing hospital environment, Hill is now back to being home and with his family.

“Sometimes I really don't know how I did it, or how I'm doing it,” said Hill. “I can say all of these things but what I think it really came down to was love — when you got

love from your family like this. Because if I didn't have these girls and these grandkids I probably would have given up, or turned to drugs or something.”

With the help of health care professionals, his family and his own dedication, Hill now hopes to

be there for his family as much as he can. He also hopes that his story will help inspire others into being proactive in their recovery, and motivate them to relearn how to love themselves.

“I'm doing something right and I'm going to keep doing it,” he said.

Rodney Hill holds his granddaughter Aleena Skye's written speech about him; the speech helps motivate him during tough times. "When I get stuck and have my depression times, I read what Aleena wrote for me and that's such an inspiration for me. Here, she was inspiring me to fight and I was inspiring her to fight, it goes both ways." PHOTO

A cool kind of cold

Six Nations Drones?

EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

By Quin Staats

Earlier this year a Niagara area man took the search for his missing daughter to a new level by bringing along some drones.

John Simpson’s daughter, Ashley, has been missing since April 2016 from Salmon Arm B.C. Sadly, he is not the only father looking for his child in this area. Five women in total have disappeared in the North Okanagan since 2016; including Simpson’s daughter Ashley, Caitlin Potts, Nicole Bell, Deanna Wertz and Traci Genereaux.

A recent RCMP investigation on a farm in the area turned up the remains of one of those missing women, Traci Genereaux.

Simpson has been unrelenting in his work to search for his daughter. Last spring he travelled to B.C. to search along riverbanks and creeks nearby; however, heavy flooding prevented the search of a critical area he wanted to scour.

So he consulted with a drone expert. A 14-yearold with a fleet of drones to scour the riverbanks for clues of his daughter’s whereabouts. Ashley was not located - but Simpson

decided the drones were of such great use to assist in searches for missing persons that he would do something to help.

With funds collected at charity events in Ashley’s memory, Simpson raised enough money to purchase four drones, two of which he donated to Jody Leon of the Splatsin First Nation in Enderby. She is now collecting volunteers to train for Transport Canada certification to fly the drones and help with future drone assisted searches.

Technology has been noted to be both a help and a hindrance. But in instances like this — it seems good and logical that given the outrageous statistics for indigenous women going missing that drone certification and drone purchase for first responders on reserves would be a good investment.

Would it be a good investment for Six Nations? With our Carolinian brush it may be challenging but an additional layer of investigation could be beneficial for locating illegal activity in that brush as well as missing persons.

It's officially starting.

It's that time of year when the cold days transition from sweater weather to frigid freezing temperatures.

It seems like every Fall there is one extra cold day; a short preview of the chilly days to come, sitting a bit below the average expected temperatures.

Like many locals, I'm guilty of annual relentless complaining over the cold and snow; however, there's a small period of every winter in which I relish the crisp, cool air.

During this time, the cold just doesn't feel so cold to me. Similarly, the first snow fall never feels like a drag, neither does the first ice storm.

I began to wonder how I could go from enjoying something so much to despising it within a few short

weeks. How, every year, I am smitten by the early signs of winter, only to want to run as far away as possible from it by the end of it all. Yet, when it feels like I've just about had enough of the cold, it's finally all over (or a cycle beginning again — depends how you decide to look at it).

I couldn't help but compare this ever-looping phenomenon more generally to my life. It didn't take long to find similar patterns of this "loop of change" in every day life as well as grander scale changes that I've experienced.

Sometimes, it can be very difficult not to resist change and even harder to accept it. If we could find a way to accept all change as gracefully as the first signs of winter, maybe the cold days to come wouldn't feel so cold.

If we woke up every morning like it was the first snow fall, maybe we'd look at the snow a little differently.

All you have to do is remember that every-

thing is just a cycle, a never ending loop of change. Life is a series of never ending cycles: maybe there isn't always a guarantee of the same outcome, but an infinite set of loops nonetheless.

The human mind is a very powerful thing.

The brain can convince the body to feel pain, trick it into thinking it hurts when it really doesn't. We can trick ourselves! Just like the first subzero day of winter: you can feel the cold, but your mind is enchanted with the new beauty and sensa-

tions and you aren't as bothered by the cold.

So, why not trick ourselves to see every new beginning as beautiful and, most importantly, temporary and every changing.

Smell the roses, catch a snowflake on your tongue, listen to the wind — every single morning. Each day is different from the last, like rings of cycles within each other. We're in a constant state of change, so why not focus on the beauty right in front of us, and choose to feel a coolness in the cold.

If we could find a way to accept all

change as gracefully as the first signs of winter, maybe the cold days to come wouldn't feel so cold.

Mental health issues continue affecting academics for university students

By Sydney Hagedorn BRANTFORD – Post-secondary education is a time of academic and mental stress for both first year students and returning ones.

It is a very different atmosphere than high school, where most students will be entering from. It is often the first time that students live on their own, are given independence, and are forced to be responsible

for their course loads in addition to their physical and mental health. As a result, students often become disconnected as a result of the freedom of the social and academic parts of their new and exciting lives.

University can be a very intimidating time for those who are entering from high school.

Students feeling unprepared for the new life they have chosen is becoming more the norm as time goes on. High school does not properly prepare you for the demands that University will ask of you. , I was raised my entire life to be very independent. As a result, I had already learned to do everyday things on my own to survive. That being said, I still have had certain troubles adjusting to this new university life and all that it entails.

Though I have struggled with mental health problems my whole life, I had been previously able to manage without physi-

cian help in high school.

After coming to university I quickly realized how unmanageable my mental health had become.

It was very evident I had reached the point that required me to seek physician help. Factors such as larger course loads, living away from home, and being in residence come into play to create such concerns.

According to the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services, more than one fifth of Canadian post-secondary students are depressed and anxious or battling other mental health issues.

Continually, The Canadian Association of College and University Student Services also learned that eight per cent fewer students then in 2013 felt their health was very good or excellent. Between three and four per cent more said they had experienced anxiety, depression, and stress that had affected their academic performance. It is

clear that many post-secondary students are feeling the effects of school stress impact their overall well-being and this is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.

As a student currently enrolled in Wilfrid Laurier Brantford for a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, I can speak to the truth behind the many statistics backing up the rise in mental health issues. As noted earlier, having noticed the past struggle in my life with mental health issues, I decided that it was time for me to visit the Student Wellness centre to see a doctor and mental health nurse to try and deal with my growing problem. Unfortunately by the time I was prepared to ask for help, it was too late. By the time I got in to see a doctor and had the opportunity to make a plan to try and overcome the problems associated with my mental health, I fell behind in my academics. The already heavy course loads

became a problem for those days where I just didn’t want to get out of bed, or was too anxious to attend study groups, or study for midterms. In return, I had failed one of my midterms which severely impacted my grades and the average I need to maintain for my program, a C+.

There are many amazing initiatives on campuses of most post-secondary institutions that aim to help students feel safer in coming forward to speak about mental illness. According to Ms. McGrath, a member of the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services, campuses are creating environments where students feel it’s safe to come forward, thus, likely explaining the rise of students seeking physician help. Although this is a statement of positive outcomes to on campus programming, much still needs to be done both on and off campuses to continue aiding post-sec-

ondary students. I think that there needs to be more of an emphasis to go visit help centres, such as a Student Wellness Centre, like we have here at the Laurier Brantford campus.

Through my own experience I can say that I was intimidated before going to the Wellness Centre. It was not until my mental health issues seriously affected my academics that I decided to go, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help and encouragement from my roommates.

We, as university communities, must continue to work together with students, professors, and outside resources to continue to maintain the great progress that is being done, in addition to continuing the work that still needs to be done. There should also be more programming and funding put in place to further the progress and positive outcomes that current standing programs have created.

Reading ancient mail of the ancestors

By TRT staff It is always interesting to read letters and communications regarding early Canada’s dealings with the Six Nations and Mississauga in particular.

At one point, the Mississauga was considered the Sixth Nation of the Six Nations, even though Ojibwa and not Iroquois.

History has a way of being twisted to fit a contemporary 2000 millennial world view. Sometimes it fits, but in most cases it does not. To glean what was the intent of an agreement or treaty, it is always best to interpret old documents as understood by those who made them.

The following is a transcript of a meeting between Indian Affairs, and a delegation of government representatives and the Chiefs of the Mississaugas. Any misspellings or typos are as recorded.

The occasional space represents pieces of the document that were either

missing or impossible to read in the original hand written form.

Aug. 21, 1797: Proceedings of a meeting held with the Chiefs of Mississauga Nation at the Government House at the head of Lake Ontario for the purpose of ___ a purchase of lands intended for Capt. Brant.

Brothers – There is a man amongst you that I cannot see here to day.

I wish he was here. He speaks bad words. He always says that whenever your Fathers Servants buy lands from you that they make you drunk and get you to sign away your lands to them for almost nothing. You must know that he does not tell truth when he says so.

Brothers – The goods to pay for this land for your Brother Capt. Brant is before us we will sign the papers to confirm and complete the Business, but brothers, I wish to know what answer this man gave you, when you sent for him to be present at this meeting.

Wabanip, Principal Chief of the Mississaga Nation returned the following Answer:

Father – We sent for that bad man by these two boys, he declined coming here. These people present hear him every day.

He tells us not to dispose of the lands we are now talking of, but listen to what he says that he can advise us, and we had better leave our affairs to his discretion. We told him we had prepared our words to dispose of the land. He said never mind, say nothing, I will give you more than they will and buy it myself.

Father – He also told us that when you got this land you would lay claim to all our land about it, and would turn us out of the country.

Father – He is always endeavoring to hurt me in the Eyes of our people saying I am not fit to be at their head.

Father – We think nothing of what he says, we consider him to be as a dog, just ___ and do not regard what he tells us.

Father – We desired him to come and see if we got anything as he always told us we got nothing but gave away our Lands, we therefore wished him to be present that he might be a witness to what passed, but he said that there was a friend of his would be there that would inform him of every thing that passed.

Father – We thank you

Shoppers Drug Mart wants to sell cannabis legally TORONTO — Shoppers Drug Mart is looking to hire a medical marijuana brand manager even though it is not currently legal to distribute the drug through pharmacies.

This comes after Shoppers' parent company, Loblaw Companies applied for a Health Canada licence to dispense medical marijuana in October 2016.

A job posting on the website of Canada's largest pharmacy says the senior brand manager role

will strategize marketing activities to doctors and health-care providers working with cannabis.

Shoppers adds that the winning candidate will also ensure that its medical pot marketing material is compliant with Health Canada regulations.

Under current federal regulations, the only legal distribution method for medical marijuana is by mail order from licensed producers direct to consumers.

with all our Hearts, Woman and CHildren, and every one present for the attention you pay us in this business; the goods we now receive in payment for the land which we disposed of to the King our Father for our Brother Capt. Brant we are very well satisfied with.

Father – We thank you also for the extra articles (over and above what we agreed for) which you have bestowed on us. The Ammunition in particular is what we get our living by, and we feel very grateful for our kind consideration of us in this respect.

My Good Father – All we request of you is this; your own people come and fish in our rivers without our permission and remain till they load their boats for which we receive nothing, they do not consider that by taking away such large quantities we are deprived of our principal means of subsisting, we hope Father this may be thought of, and that some measure may be taken to prevent our suffering in this instance.

High rate of opioid poisonings in Alberta Cree CALGARY — A new report says the rising number of opioid overdoses in Alberta is disproportionately affecting Indigenous people.

Alberta Health says Indigenous people have been dying from accidental opioid overdoses at a rate three times higher than non-Aboriginal people.

The rate of hospital visits is also greater. Calls to emergency medical responders for opioid-related problems are 12 times higher in Calgary and seven times higher in Edmonton.

The coughing, the runny nose, the head and body aches, the fever. Are you ready for what could be a nasty influenza season?

West Haldimand General Hospital (WHGH) has some recommendations to prevent or lessen the chances of you and your family coming down with the flu.

“Hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of disease,” advises Dr. Nancy Gabel, WHGH chief of staff, “Thirty seconds with soap and water or hand sanitizer can make a difference. Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm, not your hand. Above all else — get the shot.”

Those at higher risk of complication from the flu (influenza) include the elderly, children under age five, pregnant women, First Nations Peoples, those with asthma,

obesity, or other serious respiratory, cardiac and medical illness. Influenza immunization is strongly advised for those at high risk (including pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, and children) as well as any person who lives or works with those at high risk. Immunization can take a week or more to be effective, so is best done now. It is available free of charge through your family doctor, or at your local pharmacy.

Please postpone visiting patients at WHGH if you are feeling ill. When you do visit loved ones at WHGH, please wash your hands. Alcohol based hand rub pumps are located at all entrances to the hospital. WHGH encourages you to wash your hands after visiting to further prevent the spread! You can help protect our patients and staff.

McMaster Youth gets Prolific continued from page 3

Polytech Brantford Campus undergoes $5 million reno

Posed with their fists in the air, McMaster students, Ohero:kon and International Indigenous Youth Council representatives pose alongside Prolific after his performance. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN They said 'we're just gonna run,' and they were probably praying when they were running and one thing led to another.

Pretty soon the whole world was watching. So, I'm happy to be here, and I'm happy that people are choosing to do something. And like I said, I'm not a leader and I don't want to be a leader, all I want to see is for the world to get better. When people play their role in that it makes me feel good. For me, my role is music.”

As an artist he has worked with other influential indigenous musicians including A Tribe Called Red, and brought himself to the eye of mainstream media by featuring his music and videos with footage of Standing Rock. His experiences within the Oceti Shakowin camp were also shared with the youth.

“What we learned is that everything is interconnected. When we come together like that, I've never felt anything like that camp, especial-

ly in the early days. Later on, law enforcement made it more negative and stressful by the abuses they were doing to the people. But in the beginning when it was just on our terms as indigenous people, I saw how beautiful we can be. I saw how united and strong we can be.”

“I felt spiritual energy that's not present in this modern world, that you don't feel. And I can't really explain it but some people said it transformed them, and I believe it's more than

just a camp. It's more than thinking politically and being an activist. It's activating your spirit, it's praying to Creator and it's living with the land and spending time with each other. And then all of these different nations from North and South America came together and what I saw was how ****ing powerful we can be, if we choose to unite.”

And this same type of power and interconnection was hoped to be passed on to inspire the youth in attendance to create change.

BRANTFORD – Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) revealed a year’s worth of renovations at its Brantford Campus that made the building more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This work was made possible through a $5 million grant

from the Government of Canada’s Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund, which was announced last November.

With strong support from Sheldon Levy, formerly Deputy Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD), local city coun-

cillors, Six Nations leadership and staff, SNP’s Brantford Campus now has LED energy efficient lights throughout the entire campus, which are anticipated to generate more than $2.3 million in electricity savings over the next 10 years. AnothCONTINUED ON PAGE 28

British system does not fit Indigenous land title

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – When Britain first tried to superimpose British Common Law over its self-proclaimed colonies in North America and elsewhere, they were faced with a new wrinkle they had not encountered before — Indigenous people.

Historically, when they could get away with it, genocide was the first tool in the tool kit. But where they could not, for whatever reason, they tried to retro-fit the old law to fit their new reality.

These people, that had no concept of owning land, were in the way and had to be removed, one way or the other.

According to the law they had perfected over time, you could not simply kill the inhabitants and move in. At least not legally. They already had the stamp of approval from the Pope to remove all “heathens” from the land and take their possessions if they do not conform to Christian belief. This was based on one verse found in the Bible taken out of context from the book of Proverbs 13:22 which states, “A good person leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the wealth of the wicked is reserved for the righteous.” Some translations say “heathen” rather than “wick-

ed” which was to say, acknowledged that there is a Great Spirit God, but actually meant anyone who does not pay alms to the church.

The reality was, even if you did surrender all you have, chances are you would be enslaved, killed or jailed anyhow.

This obviously profitable misinterpretation became the “legal” backbone of the colonization-for-profit models followed by the Dutch, French, Spain, Portugal and others, but none more so than the Britons.

The other way land can be transferred from one people to another is by way of conquest, as in the historical wars and counter wars that formed Europe itself. Generally, one army would send a message to the other asking for surrender or face sure annihilation. When that happened, the people were rounded up and used as slaves or, in time, melted into the community. Although it was a brutal choice, “legally” there was a choice given —give up your land and possessions or die.

That satisfied the religious and the economic goals of the ruling class, Britain.

There are no Indigenous peoples of Briton although there is a succession of journeys of early man, including the most northerly Neanderthal

skeletal remains found dated being 400,000 B.P. (Before Present). But there was no lengthy stay for any of them. As the Ice Ages came and went, so did early man.

Before the Romans, in 53 and 54 B.C., there were Gauls, Celts, Saxons, and Flemish, that even the powerful Roman Legions could not totally eradicate. But all of these early inhabitants came from Europe when there was no English Chanel between Briton and mainland Europe.

In more modern times, after the wide land bridge connecting Briton to mainland Europe disappeared under the rising ocean water, more permanent inhabitants arrived and built societies, one succumbing by conquest or assimilation to another ever since.

So when the Magna Carta became the standard by which canonized the basic rights of people in Europe in 1215, there was no provision for an indigenous race of people, so it was easier to simply consider them to be subhuman and not worthy of human status or treatment and therefor outside of the provisions of the Magna Carta.

According to Professor Sidney Herring author of “White Man’s Law”, the fledgling North American experiment had to be made up as it went, in re-

lation to indigenous land title anyway. The British model did not fit.”

This created large and obvious inconsistencies that today’s indigenous people around the world and at home, are still dealing with today. It also necessitated the purging of unflattering history, but that became impossible to hide with the advent of the information age.

Now, what is being faced is the clash between what is legal and what is right. How much justice can Canada actually afford after illegally building almost the entire country on Six Nations trust funds without permission and without recompense.

The steps forward are slow and small and some are understandably getting impatient.

To those who adhere to the Great Law, Six Nations ancestors have been here since man emerged and have followed a parallel path to that of “the old world” but oblivious to each other.

To those not willing to believe that Indigenous North America was in some ways just as or more civilized than those who came to stay, a new and fresh look at history, anthropology and archaeology is being written every day. And there is a lot to learn.

2,400-year-old Mississauga body unearthed

By Jim Windle MISSISSAUGA – A standard archaeological assessment in advance of major work to be done on the QEW, Credit River bridge, has unearth a 2,400-year-old indigenous village.

“It predates the Roman Empire. That’s extraordinary,” said Ward 7 Councillor Nando Iannicca at the Nov. 8 council meeting.

The work was slated to be completed this fall, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen now.

“The Ministry of Transportation is currently involved in an ongoing discussion with our stakeholders regarding the archeological work near the Credit River,” said Valentina Stankovic, senior issues advisor for the MTO. “To maintain a respectful relationship with our key stakeholders, the ministry is unable to share additional information at this time.”

Matthew Wilkinson is the recognized historian at Heritage Mississauga and he predicts the findings date back to the Early Woodland

period, which spanned from 1,000 B.C. to roughly 500 A.D. “During this period, the area that is currently the city of Mississauga was located in Iroquoian territory,” he says.

It is clear that a Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation village remains are in close proximity to where the new finds were unearthed, but until the site is fully studied and excavated, it may or may not have been the Mississaugas who built a settlement in that location.

But it would appear Mississauga city council and Heritage Mississauga have claimed the artifacts and remains as their own and intend to keep them.

“This is of extraordinary significance,” said Iannicca. “It belongs in a museum in Mississauga or something that recognizes how incredibly significant this is.”

It has been reported in Mississauga.com that Iannicca plans to work with Heritage Mississauga to ensure the archeological findings remain in the city.

Park closed ‘until further notice’ due to land claim demonstration

By Peter Cameron / The Canadian Press A southwestern Ontario provincial park has been closed to the public after demonstrators blocked the front gate in support of a land claim.

A trailer was parked in front of the entrance to Pinery Provincial Park, located on the shores of Lake Huron, and a few people were peacefully demonstrating, provincial police said Friday.

OPP Sgt. Dave Rektor said the demonstration was related to a “land claims issue that is before the courts.”

The park has been the site of land claim protests in the past. It is also not far from Camp Ipperwash, where a land claim demonstration turned deadly in 1995.

Park officials issued a statement Thursday saying a decision was made to close the park “until further notice” after the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry received notice of intention to blockade the park.

Park officials also

tweeted that the individuals claim the park is “rightfully theirs” and that the police had been notified.

“Ontario Parks will continue talks with the individuals in an effort to resolve the matter,” the park statement said, noting that until then, the park is closed to the public for camping and day use.

“Public safety remains our first priority and will guide our operation of the park,” the statement added.

Rektor said Friday that a police liason team would be working with all involved to resolve the issue.

“We respect everybody’s right to demonstrate, we just ask everybody remains respectful,” he said, noting that police were keeping an eye on the situation.

The park near Grand Bend, Ont., boasts about 10 kilometres of sand beach along Lake Huron and 21 square kilometres of forests and rolling dunes.

An Aboriginal fami-

November 15th, 2017

ly led by demonstrator Maynard T. George has made several attempts to “repossess” Pinery Provincial Park in past years, saying the land belongs to approximately 100 of his great-grandfather’s descendants.

In 2004, then Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant told the legislature that George’s claim was “an individual grievance” and not a land claim.

Bryant noted that the First Nations in the area _ Kettle and Stony Point First Nation _ had said that they didn’t endorse the grievance and that they have no land claim at Pinery.

Pinery Park is near Camp Ipperwash, where a land claim demonstration turned deadly in 1995 when a police sniper killed Dudley George _ no relation to Maynard George _ during a raid on the protesters’ camp.

The Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation approved the deal with the federal government in 2015 to settle that claim.

BRANTFORD – It still is not clear what political and legal time-bombs still lie beneath the soil of what is known historically as “The Johnson Settlement.” This represents a 7,000-acre piece of land in the North East a portion of which Brantford and the County of Brant have wrestled over for years.

Considering the solid Six Nations claim to the Johnson Tract, which is still in the courts somewhere under a stack of dusty files, Brant County may have gotten the better end of the stick in the long run.

Of all the registered land claims over most of what is now known as Brantford, the Johnson Settlement claim is believed to the strongest.

Wednesday, Nov. 22, retired Justice James Kent will speak at Laurier University on Six Nations land claims and related issues.

It is a topic he knows well.

Kent presided over cases involving Six Nations land claims and will share his views about the potential for reconciliation of land claims and how we might find common ground though and alongside our treaty obligations.

It will be a free event beginning at 7 p.m. in Room RCE 004 in the Research and Academic Centre, Laurier Brantford, 150 Dalhousie St. at Charlotte.

The lecture series is sponsored by “Save the Evidence”, a capital campaign to raise awareness and support for the repair and renovation of the Mohawk Institute building. The campaign is in response to devastating roof leaks, which caused significant damage to the interior and exterior of the building. It is currently undergoing the first of three phases of renovation.

After its closure in 1970, the former Mohawk Institute reopened as the Woodland Cultural Centre, which operates as a museum, gallery, and cultural hub for indigenous history, language, education, art, and contemporary culture. The Save the Evidence campaign has received support from Six Nations Elected Council, the City of Brantford and the Province of Ontario, as well as from individuals and organizations According to the media invitation, the goal of the lecture series is to educate people and promote a community dialog about the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School and reconciliation, said Rob Knechtel, vice-chair of Friends and Neighbours, who is co-ordinating the series. The Mohawk Institute, on Mohawk Street in Brantford, operated as a residential school from 1828 until it closed in 1970.

Alberta First Nations seeking heritage recognition The Canadian Press CALGARY — If a group of First Nations get their wish, Calgary will be renamed Wichispa Oyade — Stoney Nakoda terms that roughly translate to mean elbow town.

The Stoney Nakoda have applied to have a long list of well-known places across southern Alberta changed to reflect traditional names given by their people.

Their application letter to the Alberta government also includes Canmore, the Bow River, Mount Allan and dozens of other sites that they consider to be part of their territory. ``The Stoney Nakoda people are the original occupants of the land and place names should

be changed to their traditional Stoney Nakoda names in order to allow the culture and history of these lands to become more known and respected,'' reads the letter.

The First Nations argue that the English or Cree names many of these places have fail to reflect their specific Indigenous history. ``This lack of recognition contributes to an increasing threat that Stoney Nakoda heritage will be overrun.''

The Stoney Nations, descendants of the Sioux, include three bands with the largest reserve located west of Calgary.

They have been suing the province and the federal government over

their aboriginal and treaty rights, including land and resources, in a complex case that was originally filed in 2003.

The claim covers a big part of southern Alberta and the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

Douglas Rae, a lawyer for the First Nations, said the name change application is not part of the lawsuit, but an attempt by the bands to prove their ties to the land. ``The Stoneys are asserting their rights, and good evidence of these claims is to formally ask for recognition of the Stoney Nakoda names,'' Rae said.

Some of the proposed name changes are fairly literal translations.

Elder Wallace Ear

said the word for Bow River is Ijathibe Wapta, a place where people made bows out of saskatoon saplings.

They are also suggesting Mini Thni Wapta as an alternative, which means cold river, a description that won't surprise anyone who has ever tipped a canoe in the Bow. The proposal for Canmore _ Chuwapchipchiyan Kude Bi — has no direct connection to its existing moniker. The town was named Canmore in the 1880s by a railway official after an ancient king of Scotland.

Elder Frank Powderface said the Stoney name reflects a hunter who fooled himself

by shooting at what he thought was a wolf in the willows, but there was no animal, only willows.

Alberta's Geographical Names Program has never before dealt with such an extensive list of requested changes.

Ron Kelland, program co-ordinator, said the application will be evaluated in a process that will include public consultations. Researchers will look at old maps and historical documents. ``We are in the early stages of looking at it and we are very much looking forward to engaging the Stoney Nakoda on these names,'' he said.

Final decisions on

Protesters continue B.C. fish farm protest amid court action PORT HARDY, BC — Protesters at a salmon farm off the northern coast of Vancouver Island are vowing to stay, despite court action aimed at removing them.

Molina Dawson with the Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw says she began occupying the Midsummer Island farm with several other protesters more than two months ago because of concerns about the effect the facility is having on wild salmon in the region.

Marine Harvest Canada, which runs the farm, has filed an application for a court injunction to remove the protesters

from the facility, located about 50 kilometres east of Port Hardy in the Broughton Archipelago.

Spokesman Ian Roberts says the company has delayed operations as long as possible in hopes of having discussions with the protesters.

However he says the company can no longer wait to continue work at the farm, citing concerns about the safety of the staff and the fish at the facility.

He says Marine Harvest has tried to speak with the protesters about their concerns, but have not yet been granted a meeting.

Dawson says no one from the company has come to talk to the protesters personally.

She says she would be open to a meeting, but what she really wants to see is the company remove its fish from the area.

naming natural geographical features are made by the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation and the government.

Changing community names is up to the province, but requests that involve First Nations must be presented to Ottawa.

Kelland said it's possible for a natural location to have both an official and a traditional name.

In 1984, the province changed the name of Mount Laurie west of Calgary to also include its Stoney Nakoda traditional name Iyamnathka, which means flat-surfaced rock or mountain.

Global Warming will change everything

By Jim Windle CANADA – By 2050, scientists predict a summer-time warming of 2 C, and wetter in some regions by about five per cent, with droughts expanding desert areas causing weather migration of millions of people.

Most of us will be here to see all this happen.

Berkeley Earth has reported that 2015 was "unambiguously" the warmest year on record across the world, with the earth’s temperature more than 1.0 C (1.8 F) above the 1850 to 1900 average.

Weather watchers are warning that the increase in rain predicted for some areas will not be gentle, but rather in the form of more downpours causing cataclysmic flash flooding in some areas and long droughts in others.

According to Canada Research Chair in Water Resources at the University of Saskatchewan John Pomeroy, the amount of water that falls as snow has already declined by 50 per cent on the Prai-

ries, while the number of multi-day rains has increased by the same amount.

“Farmers need to adapt to that, to being inundated and flooded quite a bit,” he said.

He also predicts that heat-loving crops like corn will become much more common in Canadian fields. But water availability could limit the advantage of a longer growing season.

“Southern Canada’s modest precipitation gains are expected to be lost through higher temperatures,” he predicts.

In the near future generations we will also face the changes in habit and habitat of certain tree damaging beetles.

Warmer temperatures, even a degree or two, will turn forests into tinderboxes, as we have experiences with huge forest fires this past summer in record numbers.

Using the target of 2050, scientists say big parts of the boreal forest’s southern fringe will be brand-new prairie.

“Glaciers in the Rocky Mountains are pretty much going the way of the dodo bird,” said Mike Demuth of the Geological Survey of Canada.

Coastal cities around the world will begin to flood regularly with sea levels rising at a pace more than in the past 3000 years, one study shows.

The changes will also affect fisheries as species change their migration patterns.

Arid areas, in Africa especially, will no longer be able to sustain crops of any kind, which will create a mass migration of people into more northerly climates and the political and humanitarian relief problems it will create with the expansion of these deserts.

The Canadian government has also recognized the coming new order and what Canada needs to do to be ahead of the inevitable. They say: Warming over the 20th century is indisputable and largely due to human activities.

Canada’s rate of warming is about twice the global rate: a 2 C increase globally means a 3 to 4 C increase for Canada.

Effects will persist for centuries because greenhouse gases (GHGs) are long-lived and the oceans are warming.

Cumulative CO2 emissions largely determine ultimate warming. A 2 C warming target may still be attainable, but we are already 65 per cent of the way to the associated carbon limit or budget and global emissions must peak before mid-century.

GHG emissions need to become net zero in order to stabilize climate at any temperature.

Some models predict that Canada will be one

of the hardest hit countries if Global Warming is not curtailed by industrial pollution mediation efforts. Although Canada is well on its way to make changes to accommodate the future, its southern neighbours under President Donald Trump refuse to acknowledge that the temperature changes are human driven and has removed many of the environmental regulations put in place by former president Barack Obama.

Trump has sanctioned the return of coal mining to the southern states, which were closed in favour of curbing pollution and pursuing renewable, clean energy models, like solar and wind.

Scott Sutherland, Mete-

orologist/Science Writer, estimates that by 2100, Vancouver’s average summer temperature will go from 68.18 C to 80.6 F; Calgary will average, 81 F; Toronto and Ottawa will be a toasty 88.32 F; and Montreal will average in at 86.72 F. That may not be all bad news. The changes will also create a longer growing season and the possibility of growing other crops that cannot be grown here in Canada today. But we must acknowledge that our world is changing, weather we recognizing or if we ignore it, and we prepare for that change while aggressively reducing our carbon emissions.

Third Annual SN Fire Fighter Gala

By Chezney Martin

HAMILTON – Some of Six Nations’ most exemplary community workers were honoured during the Third Annual Six Nations Fire Fighters Gala last week on November 10.

With crystal chandeliers, golden axes and attendants dressed to the nines at Carmen’s Banquet Centre in Hamilton, the venue was a sight to behold as funds were raised to help out one of the most important sectors of emergency

services within the Six Nations community.

“Every supportive measure that's put in place for us is greatly appreciated whether it's $10 or $20, or even a firm shake of the hand with some advice. And there are some people that have gone above and beyond,” said Fire Chief Matthew Miller.

He recognized those that helped in the building of the Fire and Emergency Services Head Quarters, the donation of breathing apparatus units, and the aerial fire

truck — as none of them would have been possible without their significant contributions.

“I can't even put into words how greatly appreciated it is,” he said.

He then shared that during his first six months as Fire Chief, he was visited by a woman that brought an original article from the Hamilton Spectator from 1966 — the same year that the Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services began.

“That article at first was upsetting to under-

stand that we were losing entire families in our community, nine people at a time at the start of fire rescue,” he said. “To see where we're at today, that news article still sits in my office right next to my computer so that I can see it on a regular basis and utilize it as motivation to keep striving and pushing forward to become better, and do what we need to do to have a safe community.”

The same type of motivation is what helps to propel the services to improve even more.

Congratulations to the graduating firefighters and congratulations to those that took home a Golden Axe award including: the William Chancy Johnson Award went to William Chancy Johnson, the Howard VanEvery Exemplary Service Award went to Crystal Farmer, the Marion “Babs” Hill Award of Dedication went to Captain Martin McNaughton, the “Rusty” Russell Isaacs Award of Communication went to “Rusty” Russell Isaacs, and Stations 1, 2, 3, and 4 each received an Award of Appreciation.

Fire Chief Matthew Miller spoke throughout the night to recognize colleagues as well as to offer insight to the triumph of the Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

The Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL), a 76 KM transmission line, has been sitting near completion yet unconnected for over 10 years. The project’s final connection point is the Middleport Transformer Station – which requires routing along the Highway 6 bypass in Caledonia, ON. A three-phase bundled solution, to ENERGIZE, ACQUIRE, and OPTIMIZE the Niagara Reinforcement Line, has been proposed by Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) to the Ministry of Energy (ENERGY) and Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One).

ENERGIZE the Niagara Reinforcement Line - Hydro One is committed to offering a contract opportunity to A6N to complete the remaining construction of the line using local First Nations Trades people.

ACQUIRE interest- SNGRDC will purchase up to 25% ownership in the line, financing will be supported through an Aboriginal Loan Guarantee from the Ontario Finance Authority, resulting in a lower cost of capital.

OPTIMIZE Future Renewable Energy Developments – ENERGY will set aside 300 MW of renewable energy development for SNGRDC to develop on Six Nations behalf.

A 60-day community engagement (Oct 16-Dec 15) will gather community feedback to determine if the community supports the project through qualitative analysis.

If the project receives general acceptance by Six Nations of the Grand River community members, the line could be energized as early as Fall of 2018.

Pending engagement, SNGRDC will make all reasonable efforts to address community concerns within definitive agreements.

No committment by Six Nations of the Grand River has been made to proceed with the project.

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Jesse Barwell ended the overtime session at the Haldimand Centre Saturday to give the Caledonia Corvairs a 2-1 win over the Niagara Falls Canucks. It was a battle for first place in the Golden Horseshoe Conference.

The one point overtime loss for the Canucks and the two-point win for the Corvairs have placed both teams sharing the top spot, but the Canucks have played three more games.

Niagara scored the first goal of the game with un-

der a minute remaining in the first frame. There was no scoring in the second but at 3:28 of the third, Sean O’Brien evened the score and set up the OT game winner along with Andrew Burns.

Friday night in St. Catharines, the Corvairs dropped a 6-3 decision.

The teams were tied at 2-2 after two goals, both scored by Adam Craeivich. The Falcons made it 4-2 after two periods but Jamie Lauzon got one back on a powerplay at 1:42 of the third.

Tanner Ferreira quenched any thoughts of a Caledonia comeback

with a Falcons powerplay goal and an empty netter for the 6-3 final score.

Winning isn’t as easy this year for the Corvairs, but that only means they have to work harder, according to general manager Brian Rizzetto.

“There is no doubt we will have to work a little harder this year, but I think it’s good in the long run,” he says. “Later on it will make us more battle ready in the playoffs.”

“Our first three games against St. Catharines, we lost all of them,” Saturday, Nov. 12, the Corvairs will host the last place Buffalo Regals

before a road game to Welland, on Sunday.

“We are still best overall in the 26 team league, but we are a little harder pressed than other years,” says Rizzetto.

“There has been some league changes that has caused us to revamp our recruiting practices, and we are coming off some yearly injuries and suspensions.”

He and coach Mike Bullard are not too concerned about the team’s future when they get the whole lineup health and ready for the playoffs.

Ducks work hard in 2-1 loss vs. Lightning

By Jim Windle ANAHEIM – Anaheim and Colorado are tied for third place in the Wild Card grouping of teams after weekend games.

“Obviously we are not happy with the way we have been playing the last couple of games,” said Six Nations Brandon Montour following the Anaheim Ducks 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Sunday. “Tampa is considered the best team in the league right now and to play a close game like that is obviously a positive, but I think every team can beat every other team.”

Montour liked the effort his Ducks gave especially in the first period when they held the ground in a 0-0 first period tie. John Gibson was nothing short of amazing on several Tampa shots to keep the Ducks close.

“We didn’t have a very good start,” said coach Ducks Randy Carlisle.

“They had control of the puck much more than we did, early in the game. We were standing around watching and not moving our feet. To allow that to a skilled group like the Lightning they are going

Sault still scoring with last place Blast Brandon Montour scored his fifth goal of the season with a laser from the hi-slot against Vancouver. PHOTO FROM DUCKS to make us look pretty ordinary, and they did.”

He was much more pleased with his team’s efforts as the game went on, but in a close game, every aspect of the game becomes the difference between a win and a loss.

“They went one-fortwo on the powerplay and we went 0-1,” Carlisle said.

There was what appeared to be an Anaheim goal called back after a review, which would have made a big difference, “but it is what it is, and that was the call,” said Carlisle.

Nov. 9th, Anaheim turned the visiting Vancouver Canucks away 4-1, in a game where Montour scored from the centre

slot with a rocket wrist shot low to the stick side on a powerplay for his fifth goal of the season.

Earlier, Montour was set up beautifully on the edge of the crease but was stopped. Silverberg scored two goals within 45 seconds to secure the Anaheim win.

Wednesday, the Ducks host the Bruins and Sun-

day they will travel to Florida to face the Panthers and Monday they head back west to visit the Sharks.

Montour is 5-4 for nine points to date, tied with Jakob Silfverberg who had a big weekend.

Hagersville Hawks take a step forward

By Jim Windle

HAGERSVILLE – It would be an understatement to say the Hagersville Hawks were hungry for a win Saturday night when they faced the Niagara Riverhawks in Hagersville.

Right from the opening face-off, the Hagersville Hawks were determined to turn their season around.

The Hag-Hawks came out on fire hitting two posts and forcing a highlight reel save all within the first five minutes of the game.

Ralph Taggart scored at 9:45 of the first period. Harrison Larochelle and Nick Visser made it a 3-0 game by the five-minute mark of the second period. That is when Niagara shooters found their range with two goals, but Cam Allan scored for the Hag-Hawks late in the second to head into the third pe-

riod with Hagersville leading 4-2.

Riverhawks’ Jacob Sadler opened the third period scoring bringing Niagara within a goal at 2:34, which is where the score stayed until a late game flurry.

Riley Richer made it 5-3 for Caledonia and Saddler answered at 19:22, but with one second left in the game, Taggart scored his second of the night for the 6-4 final.

Ryan Guy earned the Hagersville win in goal.

The Hawks moved out of last place this past weekend, but five points left to overtake the Canucks after leaving the Simcoe Storm to reside in the divisional basement.

The Hawks will be trying to build a launch pad for a turn around when they face the Storm in Hagersville, Hagersville Hawks' goaltender Ryan Guy put in a solid effort in the Hagersville net to backstop the 6-4 Tuesday, and Dunnville on final score and a rare win over the Niagara Riverhawks, which they hope to build a ladder out of the league basement with. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE Saturday night.

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – It’s still hard going in this early season for the Brantford Blast as they lost their fourth game in five starts in the ACH Sr. League. The second place Stoney Creek Generals didn’t have as easy of a game as they anticipated against the last place Blast.

Brett Leggat faced 42 shots in the Brantford goal and held the line for as long as he could. Deron Cousens took 10-seconds to capitalize on Jacob Ledyard’s tripping penalty for the only goal of the first period.

Justin Donati and Martin Lee made it 3-0 by the halfway point of the second period before Derek Medeiros got Brantford on the score sheet from Paul McIlveen and Spencer Herbst at 17:54.

The Generals put another notch in the stick at 2:50 of the third before the one bright spot in the game came when Cameron Sault kept his pace alive and tallied from Dave Russell and Dustin Alcock.

Sault still rides the Blast scoring leaders list with four goals and five assists for nine points after four starts.

The Blast will be on the road this week with games Friday night in Dundas to face the McCoys and Saturday for a rematch with the Generals in Stoney Creek.

Getting set for a new NLL season

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Rochester Knighthawks seem to be standing pat with last season’s squad, for the most part, while adding a few new faces to the lineup.

One of the big questions not yet answered is, will Cody Jamieson be able to return after sitting out last season to rehab after surgery to repair a knee injury. If he has any say in the matter at all, however, he will be there to pull on No. 88 again this season.

There are still a few other possible signings to come, but as of this week, Six Nations will be contributing more this coming season. Signed to the Rochester roster are goalie Angus Goodleaf, from Kahnawake, Marty

Hill, Greg Longboat, Quinn Powless, Sid Smith, Trevor Stacey of Kahnawake, and Wayne VanEvery.

Add to that, returning veteran Knighthawks Scott Campbell, Jordan Dance, Paul and Dan Dawson, Billy Dee Smith, Cory Vitarelli, plus goalie Matt Vinc, and you have a very good base for a winning 2017-18 recipe.

The new season officially opens December 8th, but on the 9th, the Rochester Knighthawks play host to the Calgary Roughnecks to begin their campaign.

As pointed out earlier, there are still some signings and deal-making to do before then, but as of this week, Six Nations’ NLL fans can follow Kedoh Hill and Brier Jonathan with the Buffalo

Bandits; Adam Bomberry and Doug Jamieson with the New England Black Wolves; Vaughn Harris with the Calgary Roughnecks; Warren Hill, Johnny Powless, Randy Staats, Zed Williams, Lyle, Jerome and Miles Thompson with the Georgia Swarm, and Edmonton Rush’s Jeremy Thompson.

The announcement of the 2017 to 2018 NLL regular season schedule, marks the 32nd year of professional indoor lacrosse. The 81-game season, consisting of 18 games per team, will begin with the start of NLL Face Off Weekend on Friday, Dec. 8 with the New England Black Wolves hosting last year’s champion, the Georgia Swarm, while the Buffalo Bandits host the Toronto Rock in

a great East Division rivalry matchup. The Colorado Mammoth will visit the Vancouver Stealth, in a West playoff rematch from last season, in the opening night triple-header. To round out Week 1, the Calgary Roughnecks will travel east to take on the Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET. We take great pride in developing the best possible schedule for both our fans and teams, and are thrilled to finally release the official 2017 to 2018 NLL schedule,” said NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz. “Coming off of the San Diego Seals announcement, I could not be any more excited to get this season underway.

Learning spaces have been vastly improved at the SNP Brantford Campus. SUBMITTED PHOTO SNP additional flexibility to deliver new programs and to carry out research (scientific and academic) and innovative projects.

This includes the new commercial kitchen that was designed and supplied by Russel-Hendrix Food Service Equipment, which can accommodate an intimate culinary program. It features a walkin refrigerator, walk-in freezer, and all the cooking equipment for today’s aspiring chefs.

“At SNP, student satisfaction is our top priority, so it’s no surprise that we were recently ranked number one for student happiness on CampusRankings.com,” said Rebecca Jamieson, President/CEO, Six Nations Polytechnic. “We believe in our students above all else, and hope that these renovations will foster a learning environment that will lead to even greater success and happiness for every one of them.”

Wythe Clark Leo (“90”)

In Memoriam

In constant and loving memory of our dear brother who was so suddenly taken from us November 26, 2015.

Suddenly on Monday November 6, 2017 at the age of 30 years. Cory will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by sons, Hendrix, and Levon; their mother, Christie Martin; parents, Margaret Thomas and James Jeffrey; sister, Ashley; brother, Tristan; aunts and uncles, Corene, Kathy (Doug), Reva (Kerry), Debbie (Dave), Joe, and John; cousins, JoAnne, J.R., Ganon, T.C., Ora, Russell, Christine, Miranda, Sheila, Jason, Amy, Stephanie, Daylan, Weylin, Violet, Ricky, Amanda, Kayla, Tisha, Jim, Chelsea, Travers and their families. Predeceased by grandparents, James & Beatrice Thomas, and Bill & Margaret Jeffrey; uncles, Harland, Russell, Junior, and David; cousins, Doug, and Tina.

Funeral Service and Burial will be held at Seneca Longhouse on Friday, November 10, 2017 at 11 a.m. www.rhbanderson.com

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re too wonderful to think of But so hard to be without A bouquet of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears If love could have saved you You never would have died

Lovingly remembered and never forgotten “90” by your sisters and brothers Sue & Joe, Jackie, Elvis, Bonnie, Dice n Greg Missing you so much.

Till We Meet again dear brother

Card of Thanks

Dear Jolene: To our loved one so dear, After 2 years we still feel you near.

Although not void from strife We respectfully acknowledge your life.

We miss your smile and hugs But most of all we miss your love.

Your legacy will live on In the hearts of your dear sons.

Years and time can never erase, The memory of your face.

We pray that you rest in peace, And the crying we hear at night will cease.

Also for people with little care We offer a heartfelt prayer.

Recognize this tragic loss As well as the root cause, And in the future everyone does what’s right So you will never endure our family’s plight.

Dewahohde:s gowadigowaneh.

Love from Auntie Theresa Austin, Kristina and family.

From Mom, Jill, Jonathan and families Our angel forever Jolene Styres Time speeds on, two years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadows cast Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light, We miss that light, and ever will, Her vacant place there’s none to fill.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again.

From Dan and sons, Tyson and Derek In our thoughts and in our hearts
