Competitive Archery comes to Six Nations Submitted article SIX NATIONS – Six Nations Tourism, Chiefswood National Historic Site and Ontario 3D Archery (ONT3D) hosted a competitive tournament last weekend for archers of various skills levels.

The event saw more than 125 participants from ages four and up was held at Six Nations Tourism in the Nature Trail, located behind the centre, and in the adjacent field.

Six Nations community member and member of the Ontario 3D archery, Hagwihsas (Hawk) Jacobs, and Alysha Long-

boat, cultural co-ordinator of Six Nations Tourism, worked closely with Ontario 3D Archery in order to make the event a success.

“It was amazing to see the level of interest and skill we have here on Six Nations and we hope that this new program will inspire more people to take up the sport,” said Longboat.

The weekend long event also marked the launch of Six Nations Tourism’s new Archery Program. As of July 2017, patrons will be able to utilize archery equipment, targets and book archery runs for their leisure, competitions or

At the weekend event, ONT3D participants were assigned an A, or B range

(distance from the target) based on their age and skill level. Each participant took their shot at

up to 64 different targets.

“We gave away some pretty awesome prizes, one of which was a $3000 compound bow package from Bear Archery,” said Hailey Daniels from ONT3D. “We also had a number of draw giveaways and some more discrete ways for people to win prizes along the ranges.”

Competitors who pre-registered by June 15, were also entered in to a draw for an early bird prize.

The Cayuga and Mohawk immersion school, K a we n i i o/G a we n i : y o , was also on site making breakfast daily to raise money for their school’s construction fund. The

school, who students are immersed into the rich Haudenosaunee culture and language, is currently operating out of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

The school is working on securing the bank loan they need to begin construction on their new school behind Six Nations Polytech on Fourth Line.

The students were able to raise close to $2,000.

The event concluded on Sunday, June 18 with awards taking place at 1p.m. Local residents Hagwihsas (Hawk) Jacobs, and Brad Hill placed in the top five category for best overall score in their division.

HDI Director Hazel Hill gives testimony on 2016 incident removing Detlor from GREAT building

By TRT staff BRANTFORD – Bill Monture and Lester Green of Six Nations are in court this week and next facing charges of assault for the physical removal of the Haudenosaunee Development Institutes’ lawyer Aaron Detlor from HDI offices in April 2016.

The Crown heard Detlor’s testimony Thursday June 15 and Defence Attorney Andrew Furgiuele cross-examined him in regards to the removal, which took place on April 26, 2016, at the Grand River and Employment Training Building (GREAT) in Ohsweken at 16 Sunrise Court Suite 600.

On Monday the testimonies of five HDI staff members were heard; Hazel E. Hill, director of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI),

April 26, 2016 HDI lawyer Aaron Detlor is removed from his office by members of the Men's Fire, a traditional body which was previously recognized by the HCCC according to HDI Director Hazel Hill. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Misty Hill, HDI office administrator, Janice Bomberry, staff at HDI, Tracey General, HDI secretary, and Brian Doolittle, president of HDI. The court heard on the

day of the removal, Monture and Green, known participants of a group known as the Men’s Fire, were accompanied by a collective of Haudenosaunee citizens and other

Men’s Fire participants who said they were acting on instruction from an undisclosed number of traditional clan mothers belonging to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy

Chiefs Council (HCCC).

Individuals of the group confronted Detlor at his offices around 10 a.m. and informed him he had to leave the territory.

“I heard Wilfred Davey say, ‘Aaron Detlor did not fulfill his duty to the Haudenosaunee’,” said HDI Director Hazel Hill in court.

According to Monture and the five witnesses who testified in court on Monday, Detlor refused and the men then physically lifted and removed him from the office.

Hill said in her testimony the incident was a blur, but stated she believed at least eight men were involved in the removal.

When asked which Men’s Fire participants she remembers seeing in the building at any time, Hill listed five: Bill Monture, Lester Green, George Garlow, "Gun",

and Eddie Green.

Hill has been Director of HDI since 2013. Before she was made director, Hill was the organization’s acting director when HDI was first setup in 2007.

When asked to describe what she remembers of Detlor’s removal, Hill said she was preparing for a meeting between HDI and KPMG, an organization hired through HDI by the HCCC to help set up financial management processes. “It was a meeting with HDI — Brian Doolittle, Aaron Detlor, and myself,” said Hill.

Hill said Detlor and Doolittle were in the boardroom while she was in her office getting materials ready for the meeting. Hill said she saw Monture and a few others walk into the boardroom CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

OPINION

A day of understanding

GG Solidarity

EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW For indigenous people, the only thing worse than being called immigrants by the Governor General is supposed friends on Facebook agreeing with him.

"We're a country based on immigration, going right back to our, quote, Indigenous people, unquote, who were immigrants as well, 10, 12, 14,000 years ago," he said. Whoa, whoa, whoa there your grace! How’s that for a happy solidarity day?

And this guy represents our supposed ally the Queen of England, great. At least he had the sense to tweet an official retraction.

“And I want to clarify a miscommunication. Our Indigenous peoples are not immigrants. They are the original peoples of this land.”

At least your GG had the sense to quickly apologize, Facebook friends, not so much.

You may wonder why he so quickly changed his tune. Well, its 2017 and a mountain of evidence is piling higher and higher validating the oral traditions such as that of the Onkwehon:we of Six Nations who say that they have been here since time immemorial.

The NY Times published an article in April about a scientific study that claims humans were here in this continent 130,000 years ago. The bones of a mastodon were apparently broken open by ancient humans who wanted to eat the marrow. It’s a heated subject. It is possible there are other explanations for the fractures but the study determined that the bones were still fresh when they were broken with the rocks.

This evidence flies in the face of firmly established theories claiming all humankind left Africa around 80,000 years ago. Maybe all humans except Africans are immigrants if the Governor General wants to be that way. To get some perspective, even using the Bering model indigenous people were here thousands and

thousands of years before the pyramids were made.

The NY Times story corroborates with the Two Row Times article we published just over a year ago “100,000 year old stone tools found in Haldimand Norfolk.” It’s good to note here that we aren’t even getting into linguistic and DNA evidence in this editorial for space reasons – let’s just say the argument is growing.

Humankind may have begun South America. That is still a possibility.

Maybe we all originated from the Gulf of Mexico – the point of impact (just kidding). If we did move here everyone needs to remember that there were no other humans here when we arrived.

Today a Polynesian voyaging canoe completed its three-year journey around the globe. A dozen crew members relied only on ocean swells, stars, wind, birds to sail across 74,000 kilometres proving that ancient travellers did not need a frozen land bridge to cover great distances.

Oral tradition and archaelogical evidence supports the theory of ancient trade routes.

Acknowledging that indigenous peoples enjoyed the benefits of an advanced civilization destroys the primitive people narrative that the Eurocentric scientists promote.

After all if Europeans couldn`t cross the Atlantic until 1492 then "savage" "sub-humans shouldn`t be able to either, or so they have been telling us.

It would be most helpful to all concerned if the Governor General simply explained to his Canadians why racism has been tightly bundled with the Bering Strait theory for the last 150 years. Maybe if we were all immigrants the blatant theft of land wasn’t so bad after all – just one group of immigrants replacing another.

Hopefully the Queen's people will stop calling us their indigenous people as if we belong to them.

By TRT Staff “National Aboriginal Day” is held on June 21 each year.

The date is set to allow indigenous people the opportunity to celebrate and share our unique cultures, diverse heritages and outstanding achievements within our populations with the rest of Canada.

But, indigenous people tend to call the date Solidarity Day instead. Why? Many of us key the word aboriginal with abnormal, or unoriginal because of the way it rolls off of the tongue. And the term solidarity sums up many of the nation-wide celebrations perfectly as it means “union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities and interests, as between members of a group or between classes, peoples, etc.”

However, we don't have just one day to do this.

This day is simply the one day of the year that the rest of Canada seems to join in.

But just because Canada plays nice for one day, doesn't mean that indigenous issues are being handled.

The colourful indigenous dancers you can

encounter at an event for Solidarity Day you might think are wonderful and graceful. But, those same dancers might become a nuisance when you're walking through a mall to find them dancing in protest. So this goes without saying that indigenous peoples do not get to be folded like a shirt and tucked away in a drawer for the rest of the year, just because of one celebrated day.

Our culture isn't something to be performed only when it is convenient, and our issues shouldn't be a television program you can turn off when it gets annoying.

Both our cultures and the issues we face are things that are a part of us every day — just like the societal stigmas, stereotypes and prejudices we have to carry on our backs.

So, if you want to understand and admire the culture, you have to be open to understanding and admiring the struggles too.

And that is in essence, what this day should mean.

It shouldn't just be a day to celebrate culture and have Canadians look at indigenous people saying “your culture is so beau-

tiful” without them knowing how hard our ancestors fought to protect our individual cultures from systemic eradication.

Or how hard they fought to be recognized as human beings, which didn't happen until 1960.

Or how much intergenerational issues and traumas our peoples are still dealing with.

Or how little is left of our cultures due to the reverberated aftermath of residential schools.

Or how very few indigenous people know their own languages because the systemic abuses within residential schools did their job of destroying or nearly destroying unique languages.

It shouldn't have to be said that indigenous peoples can't forget this country's twisted history because it affects everything that we are today.

So, our responsibilities as indigenous people on Solidarity Day shouldn't be just to put on a show for Canadians, it should also be us having our strongest voices on display and speaking for them to hear.

Because even if they don't want to hear it on the other 364 days of the year, we do have this one.

Did Chiefs really accept Indian Act in 1885?

By Thohahoken

KANATA – Understanding the vast and diverse Indigenous civilization in the Americas can even elude the highest-ranking members of Canadian Society.

When current Governor General David Johnston offended many members of Indigenous Society by referring to aboriginal peoples as “immigrants”.

Besides calling Canada an ‘experiment’ and ‘a smart and caring country’ on CBC’s The House on June 17, the Governor General restated Canada’s social gospel as one of their “very fundamental tenets that life should be better not only for ourselves and the immediate family, but for others.”

“We’re a country based on immigration,” he added. “Going right back to our ‘quote’ Indigenous People ‘unquote’ who were immigrants as well 10, 12, 14 thousand years ago.”

No sooner did those words leave the radio and the Culture Police took action. Comments range from complete disdain for the “not so excellent” excellency to “he sure is confused” about Indigenous culture and history. And no sooner did the Culture Police’s words hit social media, then the Governor General took action.

A copy of the original League council minutes that recorded the historic vote to accept the Indian Act on June 21, 1885. Submitted photo “Let me apologize for not expressing myself correctly on this matter recently,” Johnston said in Ottawa on June 19. “In-

digenous Peoples are the original peoples of this land.”

“The better country we desire is, above all, a

more inclusive one that supports, encourages and acknowledges the contributions of all peoples, including Indigenous peo-

ples.”

As affective-speech-acts go, the former McGill University law professor’s carefully worded apology changed little that was at the basis of his ‘immigrant’ claim — historical revisionism.

Whether we’re original, Indigenous, Indian, Metis, Inuit, or aboriginal, there’s that little matter of arrival.

They say we all still came from somewhere else like China 10,000 to 14,000 years ago.

Shortly after the Oka Standoff on October 10, 1990 Indian Affairs’ deputy minister Harry Swain restated Canada’s official view of what Swain called “Indian country.” Besides telling other government colleagues to portray Canada as victims because of all the Canadian money spent on Indians he’s quoted as saying that governments “in particular feel a little wounded by the events of last summer.”

According to Swain, Asians crossed the Bering Strait at Alaska to sparsely populate vast and empty lands in the Americas “since Clovis times, about 11,500 years.”

What’s the big deal?

Every classroom, including our own, teaches the Bering Strait theory. Despite a theory that’s never been proven. And despite

a history of research that questions the Beringian assumption’s basic flaw — it’s about religion and not the true nature of human development.

That’s the big deal.

The Bering Strait theory is part of Western Europe’s understanding of howthings-came-to-be that is called the Master Narrative. In this narrative the Christian African Genesis includes migrations north to Western Europe, hang a left to the Middle East, across to Iraq and Iran, into China, across the Bering Strait, down to South America, then heading to the American northeast.

In 11,500 years.

As the Queen’s agent in Canada, the Governor General protected the sovereign’s duty as ‘defender of the faith.”

The same can be said for National Aboriginal Day. In 1996, Governor General Romeo LeBlanc designated the ‘religious’ summer solstice of June 21 each year as National Aboriginal Day in Canada because “we owe the Aboriginal peoples a debt that is four centuries old.”

“It is their turn,” the Governor General said prophetically during the era of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal PeoCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Cannabis: It’s not legal in Canada yet

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – Some Canadians are excited about the possible legalization of marijuana for something other than medical use and some dread what they believe will lead to increased lawlessness and impaired driving issues, or a possible gateway to harder drugs.

These are the two opposing, but equally zealous camps on this issue.

There are many proponents who are perhaps jumping the gun with as-

sumptions about how it’s going to be when pot becomes legal. But until that actually happens, the old laws still apply, according to the Department of Justice website on the matter.

“Cannabis (marijuana) remains a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, and, unless otherwise regulated for production and distribution for medical purposes, is subject to offences under that Act,” says the DOJ. “Possessing and selling cannabis for non-medical purposes is

still illegal everywhere in Canada.”

It goes on to explain, “There are public health and safety risks that are associated with cannabis use, including its effects on the mental development of young people and illicit profits that support criminal organization. Until cannabis laws change, and strict regulations and restrictions are put in effect, local police authorities will continue to address illegal cannabis possession and sales.”

Looking ahead, the Cannabis Act, when it comes into effect, seeks to restrict youth access to cannabis; protect young people from promotion or enticements to use Cannabis; deter and reduce criminal activity by imposing serious criminal penalties for those breaking the law, especially those who import, export or provide cannabis to youth; protect public health through strict product safety and quality requirements; reduce the burden on the criminal justice system; provide for the

legal production of cannabis to reduce illegal activities; allow adults to possess and access regulated, quality controlled legal cannabis; and enhance public awareness of the health risks associated with cannabis.

Currently only medical marijuana provided through a doctor’s prescription is legal, with restrictions. That part of the equation will remain the same.

If it is approved by Parliament, the bill could become law with a target date of no later than July 2018, accord-

ing to the government.

Recreational use is another matter with many more hazards and restrictions coming into place when the time comes.

Should the Cannabis Act become law in July 2018, adults who are 18 years or older would be able to legally: – possess up to 30 grams of legal dried cannabis or equivalent in non-dried form – share up to 30 grams of legal cannabis with other adults – purchase dried or fresh cannabis and cannabis oil from a provincially-licensed retailer (in those provinces that have not yet or choose not to put in place a regulated retail framework, individuals would be able to purchase cannabis online from a federally-licensed producer) – grow up to four cannabis plants, up to a maximum height of 100 cm, per residence for personal use from licensed seed or seedlings – make cannabis products, such as food and drinks, at home provided that organic solvents are not used (other products, such as edibles, would be made available for purchase once appropriate rules for their production and sale are developed) As one can see, it is not going to be an “anything goes” scenario as some fear.

There will be restrictions and they will carefully be monitored.

Until that day comes, the illegal distribution or sale of MJ will bring tickets for small amounts and up to 14-years in jail for larger quantities. If caught in possession of more than the allowable limit, will be ticketed and up to five years in jail for large amounts. Production of marijuana will bring tickets for small amounts and up to 14 years for large quantities. If caught taking cannabis across the border will come with up to 14 years in jail.

Traffic laws are currently being revised to accommodate police enforcement and safety on the roads.

CTV news reports that Canadians could be smoking marijuana legally by July 1st, 2018, but there is still a lot of work to be done before then.

Cannabis: Catching up with the ancients

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – It seems we are only beginning to catch up on the medical use of pot.

Some 2,700 years ago, it was being used for a variety of things, including pain relief and recreation.

In 2008, a two pound stash of marijuana was discovered in the tomb of a mysterious whiteman excavated in the Gobi Desert, at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China.

“It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45,” according to Ethan Russo, of Discovery News.

Upon testing of the still viable weed, it was found to be genetically quite similar to what is grown today.

"We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained, adding that no one could feel its effects today, due to decomposition over the millennia.

Researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic. It is believed to be from a cultivated strain and had any male plant parts removed, which are less psychoactive which brings Russo to believe the stash was recreational.

Additional research is

being conducted to unearth more of the 2,000 or more grave sites at that location to see if others were buried with the same ingredients for their trip to the afterlife.

It is known that other cultures have used the Hemp plant for rope, clothing and other practical purposes for more than 7,000 years, but this is one of the only sites found to date that may indicate recreational pot as well as medical pot were used in eons past.

More recently, in 2016, archaeologists unearth the remains of a middle age man in the same Turpan China area thought to be 2,500 years old. Cannabis plants were arranged across the body during burial. These remains had Caucasian features and has been laid on a wooden bed with 13 Cannabis plants with leaves, laid carefully across his body.

“This discovery adds to a growing collection of archaeological evidence showing that cannabis consumption was ‘very popular’ across the Eurasia thousands of years ago,” archaeologist Hongen Jiang told National Geo. Even more evidence to the common use of marijuana among the ancient tribal societies exists as well.

West of Turpan, cannabis seeds have also been found in first millennium B.C. Scythian burials in southern Siberia, including one of a woman who possibly died of breast cancer.

Archaeologists suspect

she may have been using cannabis in part to ease her symptoms.

The region of China where the tomb is located, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.

"To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent," says American neurologist Dr. Ethan B. Russo.

It is interesting that no hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food for the traveler to the afterlife. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was a part of the postmortem supplies.

There has been tantalizing evidence found elsewhere as well. Remains of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus, says the British-based botany journal.

What about biblical references? Yes there is at least one, found in Exodus 30:23 referring to the Hebrew word Q'aneh-Bosm (also translated KanehBosm, and Kineboisin) used as an ingredient for a specific anointing oil.

"This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come. Do not pour it on men's bodies and do not make any oil with the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred. Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off from his people,” reads

Exodus 30: 22-23.

"Around 1980, etymologists at Hebrew University in Jerusalem confirmed that cannabis is mentioned in the Bible by name, Kineboisin (also spelled Kannabosm) in a list of measured ingredients for 'an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of apothecary' to be smeared on the head. The word was mistranslated in King James version as 'cal-

amus'" (Latimer, 1988).

According to Narconon, a global Mission Drug Rehabilitation organization, “The first direct reference to a cannabis product as a psychoactive agent dates from 2737 BC, in the writings of the Chinese emperor Shen Nung. The focus was on its powers as a medication for rheumatism, gout, malaria, and oddly enough, absent-mindedness. Men-

tion was made of the intoxicating properties, but the medicinal value was considered more important. In India though it was clearly used recreationally. The Muslims too used it recreationally for alcohol consumption was banned by the Koran. It was the Muslims who introduced hashish, whose popularity spread quickly throughout 12th century Persia (Iran) and North Africa.”

Caledonia Auto grand opening celebrations

By Jayson Koblun CALEDONIA – The parking lot and storefront were packed at Caledonia Auto Supply’s grand opening and customer appreciation day last week.

“It was nuts around noon — you couldn’t even get inside the store,” said owner Rick Morris last Wednesday. Morris moved into his new location at 123 Greens Rd. back in January, but held the grand opening on the same day as the annual customer appreciation day.

“It’s just a good opportunity for some of our clients and partners to see where and how we operate.”

Caledonia Auto Supply will celebrate 28 years of business this July and Morris is super appreciative for all his loyal customers and clients.

“Without our customers and loyal clients I wouldn’t be having this barbecue,” he said. “We get a lot of customers from Six Nations and we really appreciate their loyalty.”

Morris and his team of about 10 staff give a lot back to the communities that their clients and cus-

tomers come from. They sponsor several cars that race at the Ohsweken Speedway, as well as the Pro-Fit Corvairs hockey team.

At the barbecue they also held a food drive for the Caledonia Food Bank, an auto show, vendors, product knowledge booths and more.

CANOE RETURNS TO HAWAII AFTER EPIC ‘ROUND THE WORLD VOYAGE HONOLULU — No modern navigation instrumentation guided a Polynesian voyaging canoe as it followed the horizon during a three-year journey around the globe.

About a dozen crewmembers for each leg of the voyage relied only on their understanding of nature's cues _ ocean swells, stars, wind, birds_ and their own naau, or gut, to sail across about 40,000 nautical miles (74,000 kilometres) to 19 countries, spreading a message of malama honua: Caring for the earth.

On Saturday, thousands welcomed the double-hulled canoe Hokulea home to Hawaii when it entered a channel off the island Oahu and tied up to a �loating dock with iconic Diamond Head in the distance.

Ka'iulani Murphy, an apprentice navigator on the double-hulled canoe, told The Associated Press that the successful journey taught her the value of ancient Polynesian maritime techniques. ``We really are sailing in their (the ancestors') wake,'' said Murphy, 38. ``We had to re-learn what our ancestors had mastered.''

The toughest part of the journey was dealing with cloud cover and trying to maintain the proper speed so the boat escorting the canoe could keep pace, she said, adding that she enjoyed eating the �ish the crew caught during the journey.

Bert Wong came to Ala Moana Beach Park to celebrate Hokulea's homecoming _ and to celebrate his son, Kaleo, a

Hokulea navigator, according to Hawaii News Now. ``Just being here and feeling the mana (power) that's here, it's something to enjoy which brings tears to my eyes,'' Wong said. ``This is so powerful.''

The crew held a formal homecoming ceremony on Magic Island, which is in Honolulu, that included welcoming remarks from Gov. David Ige and Mayor Kirk Caldwell and a speech by Nainoa Thompson, a well-known master navigator, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

Thompson, president of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, was visibly moved as he addressed the crowd, saying that he was ``standing here on behalf of the many,'' Hawaii News Now reported. ``Thank you, Hawaii. Thank you for the moment,'' he said. ``I am very humbled to tell you right now that Hokulea is home.''

The voyage perpetuated the traditional way�inding that brought the �irst Polynesians several thousand miles to Hawaii hundreds of years ago. The trip also helped train a new generation of young navigators.

Hokulea means star of gladness. The canoe was built and launched in the 1970s, when there were no Polynesian navigators left. So the Voyaging Society looked beyond Polynesia to �ind one.

Mau Piailug, from a small island called Satawal in Micronesia, was among the last half-dozen people in the world to practice the art of traditional navigation

and agreed to guide Hokulea to Tahiti in 1976. ``Without him, our voyaging would never have taken place,'' the Polynesian Voyaging Society said on the website for Hokulea. ``Mau was the only traditional navigator who was willing and able to reach beyond his culture to ours.''

The epic round-the-world voyage that started in 2014 shows how far Hokulea has gone since its �irst voyage from Hawaii to Tahiti in 1976.

Disaster befell another voyage in 1978 when the canoe capsized off the Hawaiian island of Molokai in a blinding storm. Eddie Aikau, a revered Hawaiian surfer and lifeguard on the crew, grabbed his sur�board and paddled for help, but was never seen again. The rest of the crewmembers were rescued.

Crewmembers hope the success of the latest journey will inspire other indigenous cultures to rediscover and revive traditions. Thompson said he also hopes indigenous cultures can help with solutions to modern-day problems such as climate change.

Native Hawaiian ancestors were not only skilled navigators but good stewards of the islands who farmed and �ished sustainably. ``They �igured it out _ how to live well on these islands,'' Thompson said. ``And I think that is the challenge of the time for planet earth and all of humanity.''

Crewmembers of the worldwide voyage were mindful to incorporate that into daily life.

Fish they caught for meals never went to waste, even when the crew once landed a 49-pound ahi, crewmember Naalehu Anthony, who participated in about half-a-dozen legs of the voyage, recalled in a blog post. ``The �ish was plenty for us for the day,'' he wrote.

Crewmembers slept in plywood bunks covered with waterproof canvas and bathing was simple, recalled Russell Amimoto, a Hokulea crewmember for two legs. ``We have unlimited supply of nice, ocean-temperature saltwater available,'' he said, explaining that crewmembers threw a bucket attached to a rope overboard to scoop up water for bathing.

The voyage has had challenges and reaching South Africa in 2015 _ the journey's halfway point _ was the most dangerous leg because of complicated ocean conditions.

Last week the crew spotted the 10,023-foot (3,055-meter) high Maui mountain Haleakala looming in the distance, signifying Hokulea's of�icial return to Hawaii waters.

After returning, Hokulea will embark on an eight-month trip sailing throughout the Hawaiian islands. ``We will go to as many as 70 communities and 100 schools to thank Hawaii's people and share what we have learned with their children,'' Thompson said. ``We are also looking forward to hearing Hawaii stories of malama honua.

INDIGENOUS PARTICIPATION IN ECONOMY STRENGTHENS CANADA’S SOCIAL FABRIC: SURVEY Eight-in-ten Canadians recognize Indigenous businesses strengthen the country’s social fabric, according to a new national Leger survey.

The Sodexo Canada Indigenous Business Survey, commissioned to shed light on attitudes about Indigenous businesses, �inds 77 per cent of Canadians recognize the importance of thriving Indigenous enterprises to the creation of sustainable economic opportunities for Indigenous peoples.

Three-quarters of Canadians (77 per cent) also believe supporting strong Indigenous businesses is an important pathway to healing Canada’s relationship with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.

The survey found signi�icant support for action by the private sector to help Indigenous entrepreneurs develop and grow their enterprises.

Key �indings •81 per cent agree Canadian corporations should include Indigenous owned and operated businesses in their supplier networks whenever possible.

•73 per cent think Canadian corporations should help Indigenous entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level.

•Seven-in-ten Canadians (71 per cent) believe that on-going supports for Indigenous companies, such as training and mentoring, should be a long-term strategy for Canadian corporations.

•69 per cent think companies doing business on or near First Nations, Inuit and Métis lands should obtain services from Indigenous businesses whenever possible.

•73 per cent agree that Indigenous businesses have much to offer the Canadian economy.

“The success of Indigenous businesses clearly matters to Canadians,” says JP Gladu, president and CEO, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB). “The fact that Canadians expect the private sector to step up with action to help Indigenous entrepreneurs sends a powerful message to decision makers. This broad public support will also fuel the optimism of Indigenous business owners. The role that procurement can play in offering a hand up could incentivize businesses to champion and encourage Indigenous business inclusion at all levels of business interaction and participation.”

“We commissioned this survey to give Canadians an opportunity to weigh in on the issue of Indigenous business,” says Katherine Power, vice president, corporate affairs, Sodexo Canada. “The �indings are telling us that Canadians recognize the societal value created by successful Indigenous businesses and the importance of private sector engagement to help these companies deal with the unique challenges they face.

With the right resources, the opportunities for this emerging entrepreneurial class are limitless.”

Did Chiefs accept Indian Act? continued from page 7 ples,” to become full partners in developing an even great Canada.”

The official proclamation said that “Aboriginal peoples of Canada have made and continue to make valuable contributions to Canadian society and it is considered appropriate that there be, in each year, a day to mark and celebrate these contributions and to recognize the different cultures of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada.”

“Aboriginal peoples celebrate the summer solstice,” the royal proclamation states,” which has an important symbolism within their cultures.”

The summer solstice is observed by many Indigenous Peoples. We’ve all heard of the Sun Dance, usually associated with people living on the Plains.

Some of our people shoot arrows at the sun this time of year.

Many don’t.

But stating that the summer solstice is generally applicable “within their culture” is the kind homogenizing generalization that plagues Canada-Indigenous People’s affairs to the present day. Not in a country bound by 16 treaties with Indigenous people. Not in a country where their Supreme Court

recognizes Indigenous title and pre-emptive rights. Not in a country where lower courts affirm an Indigenous right to govern over our affairs as an “inherent right” preceding the arrival of Europeans.

Here’s the Iroquois-Rotinohnsyonni-Haudensaunee-SixNay spin on National Aboriginal Day—something that the Governor General also knows.

As reported locally, in 1869 Canada’s rafter was raised inside the Long House of Many Relations when the Old Ones told the Crown “we stood you up in our land” (Iakorakowa…ionkiiari Wisk Nihohnnowentsiake ahensenonni atewatiteshstohn nera ohnwentsyate.) They agreed the relationship would last “as the long as the sun rises, the grass grows and the waters flow” (the Old Ones say “…tsi nikariwes enkahhwatsiratatie tahnon entkarakwinekenseke, ohente entkenyohseke, nok ohnekanos konnes…”).

The last part of relationship building was to brace the Canadian rafter to the Long House of Many Relations. The League of the Five Nations deliberated from April to June of 1885 to adopt the Indian Act of 1880.

The chiefs’ names would be

called to “state which side they choose to belong (i.e.) whether they are willing to accept the Act of 1880 or not.”

On April 7, 1880 the chiefs voted. A total of 23 Cayugas, Oneidas, and several Onondagas voted “In Favour of the Indian Act.” The Mohawks, Senecas, and Onondagas numbered 11 “Against the Whole of the Indian Act.” Mohawk chief Moses Martin didn’t vote. The chiefs asked Indian Agent Jasper T. Gilkison to prepare a frame of bylaws for the reserve.

On June 21, 1885, the chiefs confirmed the acceptance of the Indian Act. The Indian Act braces the Canadian rafter to the continent-wide lodge. Although the Indian Act has become an instrument of power over our People, the original view was to bring Canada under Indigenous laws of the land—the Potlatch, Great Laws of Peace, and the Sundance.

On June 21, 1885, Canada became a legal country—another way to see why June 21 is National Aboriginal Day. Thohahoken is a Six Nations educator

Courts rule DAPL violated the law STANDING ROCK — A federal judge has ruled the federal permits authorizing the Dakota Access pipeline to cross the Missouri River just upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Reserve, have violated the law in certain critical respects. !n a 91-page decision, Judge James Boasberg wrote the US Army Corps of Engineers did not ad-

equately consider the impacts of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting rights, or environmental justice, or the degree to which the pipeline’s effects are likely to be highly controversial.

The Court did not determine whether pipeline operations should be shut off, and has requested additional briefing on the subject next week.

HDI Director testifies against Men's Fire in court continued from page 5 and thought to herself it was normal because they come in often to talk to HDI. “I closed my door to continue and then I heard their voices getting louder and louder. I went into boardroom and asked what was going on. Bill told me Aaron Detlor was being taken out — he said Aaron was being vacated from the office,” said Hill.

“I laughed and jokingly said ‘shut up no you’re not’, because I honestly thought they were kidding. They said they were very serious.”

Hill remembers asking one of the men under who’s direction the Men’s Fire was carrying out the removal. Hill said she was told that the clanmothers requested it.

Hill said Laurie Froman, a clanmother, confronted Monture and told him that not all of the clanmothers requested the removal because nobody had asked her.

Hill said when she learned that the men

were serious about removing Detlor, she told HDI Secretary Tracey General to call the Six Nations Police and she then called HDI/HCCC Communications Director and Turtle Island News Publisher Lynda Powless.

When asked by the defence why Powless was called, Hill responded: “Because of what was going on — we’ve had a lot of incidents with HDI and another paper on the territory that speaks very negatively against the confederacy and HDI. And so, I wanted to make sure Communications was there to cover whatever was going on.”

Furgiuele asked Hill if negative publicity was a concern of hers and she responded: “It’s always about negative publicity.

Our community has two local papers and one is very directly negative towards the confederacy and HDI, and the other one, which is owned by the Communications person that was hired to

work for HDI and the Confederacy — is supposed to get the Confederacy’s voice out.”

Furgiuele continued his cross examination of Hill. “So do I have it right that there are two newspapers on the Six Nations reserve? First one, I’m going to suggest, is the Two Row Times. And Two Row Times speaks very negatively about some of the things that HDI does and the decisions the confederacy makes.”

Hill responded, “Pretty much, yes.”

“And then there’s Turtle Island News, which is the other newspaper, and Turtle Island News has actually been hired, as I take it, by the Confederacy, to get your word out,” said Furgiuele.

“Yes,” said Hill.

Furgiuele asked if the Turtle Island News is a mouthpiece for HDI and the Chiefs Council, and Hill responded by saying “no”.

“I wouldn’t say so, no, she [Powless] has a re-

sponsibility to report the truth from the Confederacy’s perspective.”

Furgiuele asked if the communications officer is paid for that work by the HCCC. “Sure. Yes, she is,’ said Hill. “She was hired by HDI for their Communications.”

Furgiuele spent some time asking Hill about the general ownership of land and buildings that reside on Six Nation’s land. He also asked Hill if the removal was something that traditionally would have been carried out by the Men’s Fire.

Hill responded by saying no, it would not have. “No. The Men’s Fire doesn’t exist in the Haudenosaunee language. The Rotiskennra:kete is what we talk about and they’re called the young men. The young men have a certain responsibility and that is to uphold the law and to protect the circle. So, the circle of chiefs generally is how we describe the circle wampum and the

people and the men in particular have a responsibility so if something falls on the arms of the chiefs — cause they’re all intertwined in that circle — then the men have a responsibility to lift that harm off or take that harm away. These new words and everything that’s been changed in the last 10 years, I would say doesn’t exist.”

Hill then gave an example as to why she feels this way.

“When the Men’s Fire came and asked to register their land under the Haudenosaunee Land Registry, when I first took it to the Chiefs they said ‘there is no word for the Men’s Fire, it’s not the Men’s fire’. So, I had to go back and explain to Bill [Monture] and them [the Men’s Fire] that it had to go in their individual names as holders of that for their men.”

Furgiuele asked if Hill thought the Men’s Fire and Rotisken’rakéhte were equal in her eyes

and she responded with “the Rotisken’rakéhte is how I believe”.

Furgiuele then asked Hill if there have been times in the past when the Men’s Fire had been acknowledged and commended by herself or the HCCC. Hill acknowledged, “We’ve worked with them. I’ve gone myself as an individual and supported them — so yes.

“I won’t go so far as to say the Chiefs, because I can’t speak for the Chiefs,” Hill said. “I know that they’ve been before the [HCCC] before and they’ve sought direction from the Council before.”

Before moving on to the next witness, Furgiuele asked Hill again how she saw Detlor being handled during the removal.

“I didn’t see anybody punching or anything like that. I mean, there was a struggle, he was obviously trying to stop them from taking him and it took quite a few of them to take him out of his office. It wasn’t ‘C’mon Aaron let’s go’ and a nice little stroll out the door — they were physically dragging his body out the door.”

After a morning break the remaining HDI employees Misty Hill, Janice Bomberry, Tracey General, and Brian Doolittle were questioned by both parties.

Court resumes Wednesday morning, 10 a.m. in Brantford where Monture and Lester Green are scheduled to give their testimony.

Feds now have report on suicide crisis OTTAWA — A House of Commons committee looking at the issue of indigenous suicide is urging the federal government to make sure rescue resources are available to combat the crisis.

The committee released a report Monday with 28 recommendations.

The report says intergenerational trauma and childhood sexual abuse are large factors in the current suicide crisis.

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

Improper educational materials distorts history The history of this great island is not contained in textbooks that recount settler fallacies. The history of Turtle Island is in the land and water protected and stewarded by the

original people.

Mainstream media continues to distort the truth of the original people.

Imagine a land rich and vibrant with life where all parts of Creation lived ac-

cording to a universal law of respect and harmony.

Imagine washed up settlers dirty, starving, disease ridden with smallpox and scurvy crawling onto this land.

Imagine the beautiful and clean, noble and spiritual people who reach out to these dirty, weak and hungry lost souls.

This is the true meeting of the original people and

settlers.

Whitewashed history would place the original people in prone positions extending supplicating hands to conquerors bounding off boats – feeding into the narrative that somehow the original people had to be “saved” by the intruders.

Mainstream media is representative of the racist institutions that have tried to perpetuate this Canadian historical myth for 150 years. The Indigenous or original people no longer accept this tainted narrative.

Narratives from mainstream writers will not be tolerated. Speeches laden with inaccuracies will not unchallenged from the original people. Awards honouring outsiders for culturally specific leadership are not fooling the global audience.

Scott Gilmore writes to maintain mainstream dominion. His graphic imagery keeps Indigenous stereotypes in the forefront as a pretense that he writes for the “forgotten or unseen” people of Canada. How can members of a settler state objectively write about conditions they have created?

The Governor General of Canada’s remarks that the original people are immigrants to this land whether it has been ten or fourteen thousand years follows Gilmore’s article. The goal of reconciliation is far from the minds of these two men if they believe their writing or words are objective or historically accurate.

Social media or Indigenous media are the only sources that have posted or printed alternative narratives to the white savior or white progress positions. The original people are unseen or unheard because the racist colonial system cannot be wrong.

If a people, so limited in their European homelands have come to make a new beginning then their

colonial actions must be valid.

Canada prides itself as a nation that recognizes global human rights issues. Canada the state cannot admit it is only a state granted status by the British Crown and a thirty-five year old constitution. From this erroneous premise, Canada is forcing a celebration of 150 years as a nation.

Sadder is the fact that Canada can only rely on barbecues, fireworks, frontiersman, and possibly a huge duck to signify their “nationhood”. Contrast this with the many original languages that echo from the Eastern doorway to the Western lands richly populated with the first people. The original people wear their nationhood with teachings, ceremonies and sacred places that have always existed.

Canada 150 stands on their one day of acknowledgement to the aboriginals as proof of reconciliation and nation-to-nation intentions. In 1969, the Indian Ecumenical conference held in Morley, Alberta began to reclaim the outlawed spirituality of the original people from across this vast island. One of their recommendations was to have a day of prayer that would acknowledge the spiritual strengths necessary for all global life to continue.

It is from this recommendation, that Canada has dictated that Aboriginal Day be recognized.

Aboriginal day showcases the cookie cutter definition of specific nations dancing and successful assimilated artists tokenized to assuage Canada’s conscience. This is not a day of prayer. It is a Eurocentric take that trivializes the original spiritual nature and intent of this recommendation. Again, it is a failure to communicate, or in the words of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Governor General David Johnston, “a miscommunication”.

How long must the original people endure marginalization and discrimination? It seems that the agreements to share the land and respect two opposing worldviews is only working to the advantage of Canada. Canada is not party to any of the historic treaties, but the recipient of Britain’s obligations to the original people.

The original people will no longer listen to white males speaking in our “best interests”. First Nations are speaking as the true nations who allowed white settlement to happen. We are speaking as the true nations who have obligations, stewardship and responsibilities to keep this island for all Creation and for future generations.

While Gilmore’s article keeps stereotypes going, and the Governor General spouts white male elitist colonial talk, Canada is awarding Orders to people like Gord Downie for Indigenous leadership.

Disagreements over HDI media release OHSWEKEN – This past Wednesday, the Two Row Times received a letter of warning drafted by HDI lawyer David Shiller LLP, and addressed to Jim Windle c/o the Two Row Times.

Although it would be

much easier to simply retract truthful but uncomplimentary statements made about the HDI than to challenge the charges levied towards this publication and the writer of the article in question, it would not be a gesture of integrity to do so.

The lawyers letter demanding a retraction of parts of a Two Row Times article is printed in its entirety on the previous page.

In the article in question, entitled, “HDI media release under question”, Bill Monture and Wilfred Davey's lawyer Jeffery Kaufman was quoted extensively in response to the HDI generated public relations release thinly masked as a news wire article and published in advance of the case between the HDI and Bill Montour and Wilfred Davie being heard.

Mr. Kaufman was contacted by TRT again following the receipt of the HDI letter, and he responded to questions presented by the HDI lawyer regarding the TRT article.

In the HDI article it was presented that the delays were somehow reflective of a poor case.

“There is nothing that unusual about the delay in this case,” writes Haufman. “In a 2016 Superior Court of Ontario decision in lalani v Reeves, Justice Balobaba, a well- known class actions judge granted leave to proceed with a certification motion after a 4-year delay. As his Honour stated: "Section 2(3) of the CPA requires that the motion for certification must be brought within 90-days after the statement of defence is delivered. Otherwise, the plaintiff needs leave from the court. Judges have

long recognized that the 90-day rule is “more frequently honoured in the breach than in the observance.”[6] Most certification motions are brought within a year or so after the statement of defence is delivered and leave from the court under s.

2(3) is rarely sought or required."

He goes on to explain, “Part of the explained delays (was) the failure of the respondent Detlor to submit to cross examination, which was ordered at the last court attendance, and the applicant’s right to seek amendment of their claim and file further evidence, Pursuant to .s. 5(4) of the Class Proceedings Act : "the court may adjourn the motion for certification to permit the parties to amend their materials or pleadings or to permit further evidence to be filed.”

Much was also made of a $3,500 fine in the HDI release.

“The $3,500 cost award (spoken about in the HDI release) is not unusual and has no bearing on the merits of the case,” says Kaufman.

He employs a very recent case involving the HDI and Enbridge to show how this cost award thing works and how they themselves were severely fined.

“In a recent injunction case between HDI and Enbridge, Shiller and Detlor clients were ordered to pay approx. $25,000 in costs,” Kaufman points out.

In conclusion, Kaufman states, “There is therefore nothing defamatory and the press has a qualified privilege to report. This is more about libel chill, which is more frowned upon by the courts.”

I'm sorry I shot you:' La Loche shooter apologizes at sentencing hearing MEADOW LAKE, Sask — A teenager who killed four people and injured seven others during a shooting rampage at a home and a high school in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche has apologized to his victims.

People wept as the teen addressed each of his victims at a sentencing hearing Friday, which will determine if he will be sentenced as an adult or a youth.

The teen tearfully said if he could talk to teacher Adam Wood, who died from his injuries, he would tell him he was sorry. ``If he was here right now, I would say to him: 'I didn't really know you, but I heard you were a good person, a kind person ... and I'm sorry I shot you. You were not a target,''' he said.

The teen said the same about teacher's aide Marie Janvier, who also died, and apologized to her mother. ``I'm sorry I ruined your life and took your daughter away. All she wanted to do was help students,'' he said to Jackie Janvier, who has sat through every day of the two week sentencing hearing.

Some of the seven survivors of the shooting were students who can't be named.

To substitute teacher Charlene Klyne, who lost her sight in the January 2016 shooting, the teen said he was sorry for shooting her while she was sitting in her classroom. ``I'm sorry for ruining your life that day,'' he said. ``You weren't someone who was a target.''

The teen said he didn't know what he was thinking when he pulled the trigger.

The teen _ who cannot be named because he was just shy of his 18th birthday when the shooting occurred _ killed brothers Dayne and Drayden Fontaine in a home in January 2016 before shooting up the high school where Wood and Janvier died.

During the first week of the sentencing hearing, which was held in May, an agreed statement of facts detailed the shooter's murderous path from a home in La Loche to the community's high school.

The Fontaine brothers, who had just played video games with the killer the night before, were gunned down first.

Dayne, 17, pleaded for

his life and said ``I don't want to die'' before he was shot 11 times, including twice in the head.

Drayden, 13, was shot twice.

The shooter then posted messages online: ``Just killed 2 ppl,'' and ``Bout to shoot ip the school.''

Surveillance footage captured his frightening walk through the halls, his shotgun raised, as students and staff ran in fear.

Wood managed to call 911 before being shot in the torso and then once again while on the ground. He was pronounced dead in hospital.

Janvier was shot when she ran to get help for Klyne, who was wounded when the shooter fired through the window of a classroom door.

When police arrived, the shooter ran into a women's washroom where he put his weapon down and gave himself up.

He pleaded guilty last fall to two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.

The teen told court he

knows the boys' mother forgives him. ``I know she knows I am sorry for what I did.''

Earlier Friday, a neuropsychologist testified for the defence that the teen had an IQ of 68, which is considered well below average. Dr. Monty Nelson said ``thinking quickly was a major difficulty'' for the teen.

Nelson met the teen last July and again Thursday night. He said the teen restated that he didn't feel bullied, but didn't feel connected to people.

Court has already heard a defence psychiatrist testify the teen has symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as an intellectual disability, major depressive disorder and displays signs of fetal alcohol syndrome.

The court is still waiting for a Gladue report, which examines an aboriginal offender's background for the judge to use in making a sentencing decision. Then final submissions need to be made from the lawyers.

Children hospitalized after youth attack LAC LA RONGE — Two children from the Lac La Ronge First Nation are being treated in hospital after they were doused with gasoline and set on fire.

Police did not release details about the incident but confirmed an eight year old boy and 11 year old girl were injured in an altercation with a third child, a boy under the age of 12.

RCMP say because of the boys age, he will not be charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The three children were found by a local resident crying and walking outside her home at 2am Sunday morning.

She says she called 911. The boys face was covered in burns and lost consciousness, while the girls hair was burned. They children told officials they were assaulted by the third child, who fled.

Social Services said in a statement they can not confirm if they are now involved in the case.

MIRAMICHI — A New Brunswick First Nation is seeking an apology after a doctor's office posted a note asking native patients not to request tranquilizers or pain medications.

Social worker Maxine Ginnish, who is employed at The Rising Sun Healing Centre in Eel Ground First Nation, took a photograph of the handwritten note and distributed it on

her social media.

Ginnish says the note was taped to the reception desk at the Miramichi office of Dr. Allister Carter.

Ginnish said the note is inappropriate and stigmatizes the First Nations community.

The Eel Ground Mi'kmaq community in northern New Brunswick is asking for a formal apology from the doctor.

CBC filming U19 Girls Box Lacrosse for documentary

By Chezney Martin

SIX NATIONS – As girls box lacrosse continues to grow, so do the opportunities for players.

This year the very first U19 Girls Box Lacrosse Team will enter the Native American Indigenous Games (NAIG), and the players that are a part of the team have been knitted into news stories that will reach across the province.

The team will be put into a CBC documentary in the near future.

Bench staff includes Head Coach Patrick Pembleton and Assistant Coach Jessica Clermont, who both want nothing but the best of opportunities for their players.

Clermont said she feels “humbled” to be able to be a part of the team that is making history.

“Myself I feel pretty lucky and pretty humbled,” said Clermont.

“These girls are kinda paving the way for younger generations of females to play box lacrosse — and that's pretty special.”

a scout for MCC out of Rochester for field programs for both men and women, and has coached Senior 'B' Women's Lacrosse, he is very familiar with the dynamics of working with a girls team.

“Watching these girls now, there's a few of them that I was going to ask if they're looking to

go to school,” said Pembleton. “I can actually send them over to a good program, tuition-free as long as they're there for lacrosse to start.”

For what has been running blind to most scouts that seek out only players with field lacrosse background, comes naturally to Pembleton who sees the girls that play

box lacrosse as easier to transition to field.

And once the players make the transition, he's found that they are far stronger players than girls with solely field background.

“A lot of field lacrosse players that come were great field lacrosse players, but when it came to box they were less than average players because they weren't used to be closed in or the contact.

But when you've got a good lacrosse player that's box, when he or she goes to field, he or she is phenomenal because they've got more space to do what they need to do.”

This is why in the near future it is hoped that girls that play box lacrosse will be scouted for field teams more often.

“They've got a lot of opportunities right now,” he said, and some of those opportunities wouldn't be there without NAIG opening a team.

Canadian 8-ball champion, Adam Monture goes to China

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Six Nations’ semi-pro 8-ball player Adam Monture, already a regionally recognized regional champion was practising hard for months to up his game to the Canadian Championship level.

All of that hard work and dedication paid off when he won the Canadian 8-Ball Championship beating out some of the best shooters in Canada.

The competitions included 8-Ball, 9-Ball and 10Ball.

“I played pretty well in the first day,” says Monture. “I had some good games.”

One game had him play against John Warrick, one of the top five players in the world and soundly beat him to go to the finals.

In the final round, he met Jason Klatt of Winnipeg, another world ranked player, in the finals.

Monture beat him 11-7 to take the Canadian Billiards and Snooker 8-Ball Championship and with it an invitation to participate in the World Championships held in China, September 4 to 17th.

The win lifted his rankings from semi-pro to professional where the competition and the prizes purse earning both go up significantly. He al-

In this case being behind the 8-Ball is a good thing. Six Nations' professional pool player Adam Monture is getting ready to compete in this year's World 8-Ball Championships to be held in China, September 4 to the 17th. Earlier a few weeks ago he won the Canadian title in Toronto defeating Canada's best to earn a berth in the World Championships. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE ready has invitations to a few professional tournaments in the U.S. when he returns.

Monture represents a new wave of world-class players displacing one of

four perennial Canadian Champions who were eliminated by some newer names in the game.

“I feel good because I beat ‘em all, and I beat ‘em pretty good,” he says.

He was nervous about playing in the Canadian Championships, but when he got there and started playing, by his own account, he settled down and found his rhythm.

Monture wants to share the experience with his two teenaged sons, Sheldon who is 19, and 17-year-old Stanley and by taking them with him to China. This will require a considerable amount of fundraising which he and his family are busy working on.

His sons are casual players too, but Monture hopes they will look at the game more seriously after China and come back with a deeper love of the game and the competition, the same things he inherited from his father, also a Champion pool player in his day.

He watched his father, Wilber Monture, play and started playing himself when he was 15 years old.

“He was really happy when I won the Canadian title,” says Monture.

In 2005 Adam won the Reno 9-Ball tournament in Reno Nevada but shortly after took seven years off from competition.

“I was just playing so much I was kinda getting burned out,” he recalls.

But when he picked up the cue again he didn’t loose much at all, winning $10,000 at a Toronto semi-pro 10-Ball tournament.

“About a month ago I won $10,000 at another Toronto tournament,” he says.

China will be a first for Monture, who has nev-

er been that from from home and has never been on an airplane.

Monture is still excited about winning the Canadian’s but China will represent the pinnacle of his careen to date. He plans to play professionally throughout the fall and winter tournament season and sustain himself with his other world class skill as an artist, in the summer.

Monture’s “home table” is at “On the Snap Billiards” in Stoney Creek, where he spends most of his time getting ready.

Patrick and Suzan Peters who own the facility have been a big supporter of Monture’s through the years and can’t be happier with his success.

Six Nations Elected Band Council have an award for him as well in recognition of his accomplishments in the game of Pool, which will be given at a future session of council.

The CBSA was first established in 1974 and has been operating in this capacity for 40 years. It consists of all Provinces of Canada, and is governed by five individuals, who are elected by delegates of the Provincial Associations.

The prize fund for this prestigious event will be over $275,000 CAD and will carry a first prize of $100,000 CAD.

Night of Pro-Wrestling visits Hagersville

By Chezney Martin HAGERSVILLE – The Hagersville Community Centre opened its doors to WWE wrestling fans and pro-wrestling enthusiasts for an evening of exciting matches on Friday, June 16.

Fans from the Six Nations community mingled with enthusiasts from as far as Toronto to enjoy the packed show.

Co-ordinator and Promoter Shayne Maracle said he felt “ecstatic” about the great turn out for the event.

“Everything went perfect,” said Maracle. “It went better than I could have possibly imagined.”

Maracle explained that he and three friends, Jordan Yates, Christopher Hoover and Chris Decarvalho, organized the family-friendly event in the hopes that the event would take off, and it did.

“Everyone had a great time and they were cheering, it was great,” he said.

“During the day it didn't seem like the reaction was gonna be that great, but then toward he opening of the doors we looked outside and we

were lined up down the block,” he said. “I'm in my 30s and I still love wrestling and I refuse to let that kid in me die.”

Maracle wasn't alone as the ages in the audience had a vast range.

Bringing a taste of the '80s back to the rink were matches between Freedom Wallace and Jozsef Alexiev with Baron Igor Sonovavich, “Maniacal” Nick Watts and “High Rick Hero” Rip Impact, “Starboi of Hamilton” Dylan Daniels and “Mr. Nice Guy” James Masterson, “Hipstar” Zakk Atticus and “Cuban Sensation” Elian Habanero, “Cocky Canuck” Daniel Parker and “Riot Maker” Holden Albright.

But the special challenge match included a mystery opponent versus “Superstar of David Tomer Shalom and the main event included a match between “Big City 6ix” Anthony Fiasco and “Night Train” Justin Sane.

Fiasco's character played the “big city guy coming to a small town,” while Sane's character was dubbed the “allround good guy.” But getting into the wrestling

scene for both wrestlers was something that started out when they were in the seats of the audience like many of the youth at the show.

“We wanted to do it growing up and we got into it, it's that simple,” said Fiasco.

“I was always a secret fan when I was younger, but my parents wouldn't let me watch it. So, I'd have to sneak to watch it,”

Fans were able to meet the wrestlers at half time, and even get autographs. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Rebels wrap up near perfect 20-1 season

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Jr. B Rebels wrapped up their regular season Friday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) with a big bow and an exclamation point in the form of a 24-4 thrashing of the St. Catharines Spartans.

The Rebels end the 2017 regular season 20-1, miles ahead of every other team in the Jr. A with 40 points.

All season long under new head coach Miles General, the Rebels have dominated in nearly every game.

The Rebels will go into the post season with 362 goals scored with a goals-against total of 134. Only the Orangeville Northman has fewer, at 100 with two games remaining on their schedule.

Up 5-1 after the first period, the Rebels loaded up 15 more goals in the second period.

They were ahead 20-4 when the Rebs took their foot off the pedal to coast to a 24-4 final. There were no penalties called until the third, and then, only three minors.

League scoring leader Layne Smith took advantage

The Six Nations Rebels completed their regular season this week with a 20-1 record and are odds-on favourite to bring the Founders Cup back to Six Nations, but there is an awful lot of lacrosse left to play before that happens.

Gates Abrams from Basom, NY, has been a strong addition to the Rebels lineup this season. In 19 games he has scored 31 goals and 29 assists for 60 points, heading into the playoffs. The Rebels now wait for who will be the first matchup of the post season. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE of Friday’s walkover of the Spartans with an 11-point game courtesy of eight goals and three assists, to complete the 2017 regular season with 80 goals and 43 assists for and amazing 123 points in 21 games. Josh Miller is in second place among Rebels with 80 points on 30 goals 50 assists.

Smith and Miller were not the only Rebels fattening up their stats. In all, seventeen Rebels added points to their ledger. In numerical order, Dreyton Martin (2A), Oliver Bolsterli (1A), Josh Miller (1G,4A), Daylen Hill (2G,1A), Justin Martin (1G,4A), Riley Miller (2G,1A), Layne Smith (8G,3A), Wes Whitlow

(1G,5A), Gavin Skye (1A), Kevin Owen-Hill (3G,2A), Kahn General (4A), Chayton King (1G,3A), Garret Vyse-Square (2G,2A), Gates Abrams (3G,2A), Tyler Foxe-MacKenzie (5A), Bo Peltier (2A), and even goalie Briley Miller recorded two assists.

riors are first in the OLA Jr. C; The Six Nations Rebels are way out in the lead in the OLA Jr. B standings; the Six Nations Arrows top the Jr. A’s, while the Sr. B Rivermen hold top spot as does the Major Series Chiefs.

The Can/Am Slash were to only team not in first place going into last weekend’s games, however, they

How big is lacrosse at Six Nations?

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – How big is lacrosse at Six Nations? Let these statistics speak for themselves. There are five Jr. and Sr. Ontario Lacrosse Association teams and a Can/Am Sr. B team which all call Six Nations home.

Supplying talent to these teams is a minor lacrosse system second to none with great coaches, many times supplied by retired, or even active pro players.

One of the best, designated year-round lacrosse arenas in the province, if not the world, in the privately owned and operated Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The hard surface at the Gaylord Powless Arena, also provides floor time for lacrosse in the summer.

A long and ever growing list of Six Nations inductees, enshrined in both the Ontario and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Slash moving on up into second place

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS –The Can/Am Six Nations Slash has pulled in behind the first place Native Sons after defeating the Rochester River Monsters, 14-12 in overtime Friday night at the Genesee Valley Park Ice Rink.

The Slash is still eight points back in second place, however they have a game in hand. The Native Sons at 10-0 while the Slash are 6-3 and far ahead of third place Allegany Arrows who have six points in the North Division.

Rochester had a much faster start than the Slash who fell behind 3-1 by the 4:40 point of the game. But Brent Longboat started the fire for Six Nations with backto-back goals at 12:00 and 14:49 and Colton Hart followed to even the score at 3-3.

Joe O’Hare put the Monsters out front again at 19:18 but Torrey VanEvery answered at 19:32 to tie the game at 4-4.

It remained a close give and take game as the lead flip-flopped through the second period. Darcy Powless opened the session at 23 seconds. Joey Summerfield and Hart scored two each while the Monsters got three goals from Jordan Jarvis and an unassisted marker by Jackson Twomay to end the second period with the Slash holding a one goal, 9-8 lead.

There was more goal-trading in the third period as Darcy Powless, Brent Longboat, and Chauncey Hill added Six Nations goals while Rochester’s Jarvis, Michael Cooper and Joe O’Hare answered. With the Slash clutching a one goal lead and the clock running down, Raymond Shavoy sent the game into OT for the Monsters at 19:23.

The five-minute OT period saw Longboat and VanEvery put the game away while Brandon Styres held the fort in the Slash net.

The Slash are at home to the Pinewoods Smoke Saturday, June 24th at the ILA at 7 pm. Mathematically, the Slash could overtake the Native Sons should the Sons start loosing once in a while.

Arrows math: 3 games = 6 points

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – Three games in four nights turned into a six-point weekend for the first place Six Nations Arrows, moving them to 12-1 on the season.

Sunday, June 18, the Arrows hosted Brampton at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) and sent them packing 9-7. Despite a total of 103 shots on goal, both teams kept their respective goals-against to fewer than 10.

Austin Staats scored two and assisted on four more to lead the Arrows offence, while Travis Longboat scored two and assisted on three on their way to the win.

A steady meticulous three-goals per period earned the Arrows’ win.

Clarke Patterson scored four for the Excelsiors.

Saturday afternoon in Whitby, the Arrows continued their march towards the Minto Cup with an 11-5 win over the Warriors.

Tehoka Nanticoke set the tone 35 seconds into the game scoring from Tyson Bomberry right off the opening faceoff. Austin Staats made it 2-0 at 6:35 from Cory Highfield and Jeremy Bomberry before Connor Keaman netted one for Whitby. That served only as a speed bump or the Arrows as Jake McNabb and Highfield ended the period with the Arrows in charge 4-1. It was 7-3 for Six Nations entering the third.

Second period Arrows goals were scored by Longboat with two, and Highfield’s second of the game.

Highfiled made it a hattrick with his third of the game scored at 1:38 of the third period. With four assists, Highfield was good for a seven-pointer. Travis Longboat tallied his third of the game and Tehoka Nanticoke put two in for his hat-trick adding two assists for a five-point outing.

It started Thursday night at the ILA against the Burlington Chiefs. Although the final score was indeed lopsided, that is not to leave the impression that the Six Nations Arrows had an easy time with the Burlington Chiefs, defeating them 11-4,. But

Austin Staats is a human highlight real as proven again Thursday night at the ILA. He is fearless in the corners, strong as a rhinoceros but has the hands of an artist. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

even the wide range in the score required some very good defensive work and goaltending.

Something they will need to go along with a strong offence when the playoffs begin. The shots on goal tell that story with the Arrows and the Chiefs ending the game with one shot on goal separating the two teams over 60 minutes.

It sounding like a party in the Arrows dressing room afterwards and deservingly so. Winning is fun, and the Arrows are still having a blast.

“It makes it fun when there is so much talent on this team,” says 19-yearold Travis Longboat. “We like to just hang out between games too.”

The impressive win had several highlights if you are an Arrows fan, including Austin Staats pretty well killing one of two minutes of three on five single handedly. At times there were three Chiefs working Staats along the boards for possession but could not wrestle the ball from him.

Finally, the ball popped out of the scrum and right to Highfield who played catch

with other Arrows to kill the double penalty without a serious scoring chance for Burlington.

But the thing that drew the most cheers from the hometown crowd as when Arrows goalie Doug Jamieson scored a goal from his

own crease right to the centre of the empty Burlington net.

“That was fun,” said Jamieson after the game. “It’s my first goal. I’m using a brand new stick I haven’t used before. I think I’ll keep it.”

He could have had two on the night. The buzzer ending the second period blew a second before a Jamieson-launched shot also hit the centre of the Chiefs net.

The Arrows are off until Saturday, June 24 when

they travel to Mimico when they hopefully bring down the second place Mountaineers to create even more room between the two. The Arrows take another shot at Whitby, Sunday night at the ILA at 7 pm.

Defender Tyson Bomberry is looking for another Minto Cup ring to go with his 2014 model. He has been at least a part time Arrow since 2012 playing a total of 51 games. He is a solid defenseman with a lot of savvy with the ball. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Canada's national sport recognized

By Chezney Martin WHITBY – As part of many festivities for Canada's 150th, teams from Novice to Intermediate and Junior to Senior were invited to participate in Lacrosse Day on Saturday, June 17th as part of a celebration recognizing Canada's National Sport at the Iroquois Park.

The Iroquois Park hosted games on all four pads and outdoor field, with teams from all over Ontario including boys and girls minor teams from Six Nations, and the Junior 'A' Arrows.

As the minor teams participated in exhibitionary games throughout the day, the Arrows took home a sleek win versus the Whitby Warriors 11-5.

Rivermen dodge James Gang 5-4

By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – It was a score more fitting for a hockey game than a lacrosse Sr. B game, but in the end, after some fine goaltending at both ends, the Six Nations Rivermen took the 5-4 win over the Ennismore James Gang at the Robert E. Young Centre, Saturday night.

That means the Rivermen remain in first place, undefeated after 10 starts this season.

The Gang struck first with goals scored by Josh

Wasson-Mcquigge and Jeff Swift before Dwayne Porter connected from Danton Miller and Cory Bomberry before the end of the period.

The Rivermen made its mark in the second period when Danton Miller tied it up at 2-2 from Kedoh Hill, 28 seconds into the frame. The James gang took the lead back a minute later but Stu Hill made it a new game again 3-3, a minute after that.

Danton Miller and Cory Bomberry assisted.

Bomberry rifled one

in for the 3-4 Six Nations lead, but Ennismore took it back to end the second period tied at 4-4.

Both team’s defensive squads and goalies Warren Miller for Six Nations and Cole Murray for the Gang, tightened up in the third as the play went end to end with no one hitting pay-dirt until 16:49 of the third period when Kedoh Hill scored the game winner from Dwayne Porter and Murray Porter.

Danton Miller leads all Rivermen in scoring to date, with 16 goals and

21 assists for 37 points.

Tom Montour is next with 10 goals and 20 assists, followed by Rodd Squire (8G,15A) and Cory Bomberry (7G,15A).

The Rivermen will be back at the GPA to take on the Brooklin Merchants, Saturday, June 24, at the Gaylord Powless Arena at 7 p.m.

The next day they will be on the road to Oakville for a clash with the Titans at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre.

Craig Point. But between periods the coaching staff put the defibrillator paddles to their team and the heart of the Rock began beating.

The Rock immediately started scoring. Two goals

by Brett Hickey one by Todd Kozak, erased all but one on the Chiefs first period goals by the six-minute mark. Kyle Jackson interrupted the Oakville string at 7:22 from Dhane Smith and Dan Dawson but the Rock continued with Ron Hellyer and Mitch Desnoo to even the score at 5-5 by the 12:39 mark.

Dhane Smith chipped his in second of the night

at 17:35 from Dawson and Ryan Benesch, but the Rock kept rolling with Stephan Leblanc and Hellyer closing the second period with Oakville ahead 7-6.

Now it was time for the Pro-Fit Chiefs to turn up the heat. Point and Benesch responded to wrestle back an 8-7 lead.

Marty Hill was called for high-sticking at 14:34, and Wes Berg scored the tying goal on the ensuing powerplay.

Then, at 18:36, Dave Brock fed the ball to Brier Jonathan who relayed to Miller for the game winner. Dan Dawson set up

six Chiefs goals and Dillan Ward stopped 41 of 46 shots for the win.

Thursday, June 14, the Six Nations Chiefs went to Peterborough to resume a decades long rivalry between Six Nations and Lakers. On this occasion the Lakers came out on top, albeit by one goal in a low scoring 7-6 final.

Jake Fox got things going for the Lakers with an unassisted effort at 5:50 of the first period. The Chiefs answered with a powerplay goal by Craig Point from Jordan Durston and another by Wayne VanEvery.

Pro-Fit Chiefs and Lakers deadlocked

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – At 9-8, it was another one goal game for the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs Monday night in Oakville, but it was still a win pulling the Chiefs into a tie for top spot with the Peterborough Lakers.

Danton Miller’s goal from Brier Jonathan and David Brock completed the come-from-behind win to improve the Chiefs’ record to 6-1.

The Pro-Fit Chiefs controlled the first period taking a 4-0 lead on goals

by Wayne Vanevery, two

by Jordan Durston and

two quick ones after that to take a 3-2 lead, which Vaughn Harris evened at 19:02, making it a two period game.

Danton Miller gave the Chiefs the lead back from Durston and VanEvery, and again, the Lakers pulled even at 12:36 but Durston slipped one in late to put the Chiefs up 5-4 after two periods.

Point put a pillow under the one goal lead from VanEvery and Durston at 8:15.

At 17:40, Thomas Hoggarth cut the Chiefs lead to one. Two Peterborough empty netters determined the 7-6 outcome.

A take away from this game for the Six Nation Chiefs that the Chiefs defense and goaltending kept the Lakers to only seven goals on 60 shots on Dillon Ward. The Chiefs fired 37 shots on Matt Vinc.

The Pro-Fit Chiefs played Brooklin Tuesday night at the ILA in a game that missed our deadline.

They will rest up until next Tuesday night when the Brampton Excelsiors pay a visit to the ILA at 8 p.m. That will be followed Wednesday night with another shot at the Brooklin Redmen in an away game.

CLA 150th lacrosse celebration

By Jim Windle

TURTLE ISLAND – History shows that when French Jesuit Jean de Brebeuf saw Hurons playing a game the Mohawks call begadwe, he noticed the the hooked sticks they used looked similar to the crosier, a staff carried by Roman Catholic Bishops, so he called it lacrosse.

As a part of the Canada’s 150th Birthday celebrations, the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) is putting “the Creator’s Game” on centre stage with a series of special events in Montreal, June 16 to 18, 2017, at a variety of educational and cultural activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

It is said that Montreal is where the "Creators Game" was revised into what became the modern era of Lacrosse back in 1867. Eventually, Onkwehonwe (First Nations) players were banned from playing the game because they were embarrassing

the British military teams, and therefor the Crown, with their ball control skills and supreme conditioning. That ban was eventually lifted but in the interim, lacrosse did not die with the Haudenosaunee, Huron, Anishinabic, and other original peoples lacrosse Turtle Island who picked up the game from the Iroquois League of Nations.

“The 150th Anniversary of Lacrosse Celebration will be a once-in-a-lifetime event – a festival of activities that will help honour and celebrate the history and cultural significance of Canada's national summer sport, lacrosse,” says a media release from the CLA. “We strongly believe that 2017, a year that marks the 150th anniversary of Confederation as well as the birth of the modern version of lacrosse, is the perfect occasion to re-introduce our country's first national sport to a new generation of Canadians.”

This historian has had an interest in the sport for quite some time, having played it for over 40 years.

This has allowed him to see first-hand the evolution of in-game techniques and equipment, spanning from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century.

A number of lacrosse tournaments will be held throughout the event for women’s and girls lacrosse as well as boys and men.

Ontario Power Generation believes relationships with Indigenous communities require a foundation built on respect, honesty and transparency.

That’s why we’re committed to working with you to build and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships like the Lac Seul and Lower Mattagami generating stations, and the recently completed Peter Sutherland Sr. Generating Station near Smooth Rock.

This National Aboriginal Day we celebrate with you at many of our sites across Ontario.

Because we believe relationships matter.
