Coronavirus cases surge in Brant, no new cases on Six Nations as new standards role out STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Canada’s top physician announced new standards for cloth masks on Tuesday while case rates on Six Nations took an encouraging slow down. SNGR’s latest update shows there are 9 active cases with no new positive cases diagnosed. In the last week there were 5 lab confirmed COVID-19 cases on Six Nations. Meanwhile, Brant County Health Unit is seeing a surge in cases with a total of 49 new cases confirmed in one week, the highest single week case total since the beginning of the pandemic. Currently BCHU is reporting 62 active cases with 4 people in the hospital in stable condition. That region is also reporting a number of outbreaks, including one at the Salon Mirage location in Lynden Park Mall. A total of 5 employees were confirmed to have
COVID-19. No customers are reported to have contracted the virus, however as a precaution the salon was closed and BCHU investigating its hygiene protocols. In Haldimand-Norfolk there are 26 active cases with a total of 8 new confirmed cases in the last seven days. Nationally, Dr. Theresa Tam unveiled new recommendations Tuesday for non-medical masks, saying they should be made of at least three layers and stressing their importance as the country heads indoors for winter amid a surging COVID-19 case count. Face masks should comprise two layers of tightly woven fabric such as cotton or linen, plus a third layer of a ``filter-type fabric'' such as polypropylene, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. ``We're not necessarily saying throw out everything that you have,'' Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, said at a news conference
Tuesday. ``The fit is the most important thing,'' she said, emphasizing a pinched nose and full coverage of nose and mouth, but also comfort and breathability. In a departure from news conference habit, the country's top politicians and doctors wore their masks except when speaking, underscoring the role of face coverage in battling the pandemic as temperatures drop. The mask memo came as Ontario reported a single-day record of 1,050 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, and 14 new deaths due to the virus. About 80 per cent of the new cases were in the hot spots of Toronto and the surrounding regions of Peel, Halton, York and Durham. Despite the unprecedented number of daily cases, Premier Doug Ford said he will ease restrictions on the province's hot spots, in contrast with Quebec's recent extension of ``red-zone'' measures. Ontario rolled out a new tiered system Tues-
day that will determine when and to what extent coronavirus restrictions are placed on parts of the province, a move the government said will help fight the pandemic at a regional level. Areas with the lowest case counts, positivity rates and community transmission levels will fall into a green category with the most permissive rules. The colour-coded system then moves upward through yellow, orange and red with increasingly strict measures, topped off by a grey ``lockdown'' level where the most stringent protocols would be implemented The framework goes into effect on Saturday, allowing restrictions previously treated as hot spots including Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa to loosen up. The softer rules mean gyms and cinemas can reopen and indoor dining will resume with capacity limits following closures under ``modified Stage 2'' measures imposed Oct. 10.

Woman fired after violent comments directed at McKenzie Meadows demonstrators STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
A woman has lost her job after posting violent comments on social media, saying demonstrators at the McKenzie Meadows “Land Back” dispute should have been shot. The woman was making commentary on a video of demonstrators burning hydro poles and tires on Argyle Street in Caledonia late last month, stating that demonstrators should have been shot in the head. Further comments posted to her Facebook stated that she did not believe her comments were racist but said that demonstrators were “acting like wild animals” and that they “should be treated like wild animals.” Critics noted the woman’s place of employment on her Facebook profile and contacted the compa-
ny, Battlefield International, and alerted them to the comments. Steve Fenton, President for Battlefield International posted a statement to Facebook confirming the woman had been fired for making those comments. “Due to some posts on a social media website, that were improper and totally unacceptable to Battlefield International Inc. (their employer) and after ensuring this staff member was in fact fully responsible for the posts, we have discontinued their employment with us,” wrote Fenton. “We are both sorry to lose this highly valued person, while also being pleased that the good people of the Six Nations of the Grand River (Six Nations) made us aware of this most unfortunate set of posts.” Fenton wrote, “I was very upset with this discovery and would like to extend my sincere apol-
ogy to you for having to read that post. It does not reflect the values of our company.” Fenton also called on employers and community members from Six Nations to uphold similar standards for those demonstrating disapproval of the McKenzie Meadows housing development. “Offenders should leave their job function just as was done here. We are asking no more from you than what we have already done and what each one of us should know is right.” Fenton quoted a verse from the Bible, “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” and asked all people involved in the conflict to reflect on it’s relevance.

Lest We Forget
Remembrance Day Salute to our veterans
This message brought to you by Six Nations Police Services
MINNEAPOLIS —The Mimbres Collection at the Weisman Art Museum has a long and complicated past. First excavated by anthropology professors and students in the 1920s, the collection of human remains and burial belongings was housed at the University of Minnesota before being transferred to the Weisman, where it remains today. Mimbres bowls, characterized for their painted designs and a round hole in the centre, were used in burials in 11th century New Mexico among a variety of Pueblo tribes, including the current-day Hopi Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni and the Pueblo of Acoma. Despite repeated attempts by affiliated tribes to return the collection to New Mexico, the funerary objects remain at the Weisman. Under a 1990 federal law, institu-
tions that receive federal funding must create an inventory of any Native American cultural objects or funerary remains as a part of the repatriation process. The University and the Weisman have come under fire by Native American communities, anthropologists and the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council (MIAC) for their delay of inventory. Now, about 90 years after the excavation, University anthropologists and archeology students have been working to compile an inventory of the collection to return objects to affiliated tribes who claim descent in New Mexico. In mid-September, a letter was drafted to the University on behalf of all the graduate students in the anthropology department. Their message was clear: repatriation is not only warranted,
but essential to address the ``historical extractive and unethical practices of our department.'' The letter cites the history of the collection and contextualizes the University's role in larger structures of oppression against people of colour, especially in light of the police killing of George Floyd. An enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, fifth-year anthropology student Elan Pochedley said his involvement as a co-author of the letter was especially personal. ``Potawatomi people and nations have also been affected by these practices of exhuming, looting, and collecting Indigenous bodily remains and funerary objects for the benefit of institutions of higher education,'' he said in an email to the Minnesota Daily.

Column: When I am happy my ancestors are happy too JONATHAN GARLOW
jonathan@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
During the seven years of publishing newspapers behind the scenes I have been quietly raising a family and doing my best to teach the values of discipline and patience to my children just as was taught to me by my parents. I'm also learning about myself as a human being and my apparent lack of self-awareness. I'm learning to be happy. Practicing non-judgment on a daily basis has taught me that when we judge others, good or bad, we are subconsciously placing ourselves above them which is not right, not our way. We are supposed to be equals of the same height, which means we cannot judge another person. Judging other people is really weird when you think about it. Imagine being a courtroom judge and only hearing one side of of an argument before making a deci-
sion, wouldn't that be the stupidest judge of all time? Well that is what we look like when we hear a rumour and then form an official opinion about that person, smash the gavel in our minds and decide what their fate should be. We all do it though, it is human nature but I have been fighting the urge. I was having a discussion with my wife and editor Nahnda Garlow about deadbeat dads a few days ago and I realized that I have lots of empathy for these dead guys. Even though I am physically present with my children everyday I'm self-aware enough to realize that I've been a halfbeat dad all these years. What I'm trying to say is that I wish I could talk more with my children. It was probably because my mom was raised in Shingwauk Child Prison but we didn't have conversations around my house when I grew up there on Mohawk road in the upper end of Six Nations (which is on the south side by the way). Ask anyone who

went to school with me I didn't have discussions with other human people at all until I was in my twenties so I'm probably at an extreme disadvantage in some regards. Please text do not call, thank you. Nahnda thinks I may have Asberger's Syndrome but with me there is no small talk only large talk. Today when I speak with
my kids for more than a minute it's usually a history lesson about the Mohawks and Such Others or theories that our reality is an illusion and humans are actually sophisticated artificial intelligence living in a simulated universe contained in a quantum computer that exists in another dimension, stuff like that. Although I don't have
any sort of social life I've been spending lots of my time making music and livestreaming a video game called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. If you've watched me play you'll see that this is a fairly realistic survival shooter with a heavy emphasis on survival. There was a moment when my teammates were dead and it was just me left. I was being chased through kilometers of forests, hills and fields by a squad of four enemies. I was laying there camoflauged in the bushes with my pulse pounding inside of my ears, hoping my enemies would walk within range of my crossbow when I realized how significant these instincts of survival are within me. 100,000 years of resilience were activated when the adrenaline coursed through my heart and that's how it is for all Indigenous survivors when we are backed into a corner. There's a meme that says, "If historical trauma is woven into our DNA
then resilience and survival instincts must be to." That's why I can practice non-judgment on a daily basis because I know we are going to be okay no matter what happens, we are inevitable like nature itself. Four of my great-grandparents were Anishnabe from Manitoulin Island and four of them were Onkwehonwe from Six Nations and now their DNA resides within me. Because of this I have concluded that when we practice non-judgment, when we are kind to ourselves and others we honour the ancestors within us and the horrific colonial era that they endured and patiently persevered through. They weren't resilient just for the sake of being tough. All eight of my grandparents were resilient so that Jonathan, their unborn descendent could be happy and because I am now they are too.

Massacre of Onkwehonwe in 1574 still a mystery to researchers By Jim Windle / Tuscarora Chief Elias Johnson There is a story recorded in Elias Johnson’s book ‘IROQUOIS, OR SIX NATIONS, AND HISTORY OF The TUSCARORA INDIANS’ written in 1881, which is housed today in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. DC. One story, from the writings of Mr. Schoolscraft, concerns a massacre of more than 4000 people in and around a large church built by fake missionaries to gain their trust before ‘rounding the inhabitants into the building, locking the doors and set the log building non fire, burning them all to death: men, women and children.’ The incident was not recorded in any white historical accounts, but it was deduced by later investigators that a massacre took place in or around 1574. “In the town of Cambria, six miles west of Lockport, NY, a Mr. Hammon, who was employed with his boy in hoeing corn, in 1824, observed some bones of a child exhumed.” Chief Johnson records. “Eli Bruce, hearing of the circumstance, proposed to Hammon that they should repair (return) to the spot, with suitable instruments, and endeavour to find some relics.
A search enabled them to come to a pit but a slight distance from the surface. The top of the pit was covered with small slabs of the Medina sandstone, and was twenty-four feet square, four and a half feet deep .… It was filled with human bones of both sexes and ages. They dug down at one extremity and found the same layers to extend to the bottom and from their calculations, they deduced that at least four thous- and souls had perished in one great massacre. In one skull two flint arrow-heads were found, and many had the appearance of having been fractured and cleft open by a sudden blow. They were piled in regular layers, but with no regard

to size or sex. Pieces of pottery were picked up in the pit, and had also been plowed up in the field adjacent. Traces of a log council house were plainly discardable. For, in an oblong square, the soil was poor, as if it had been cultivated, till the whites broke it up, and where the logs of the house had decayed, was a strip of rich mould. A maple tree, over the pit, being cut down, two hundred and fifty concentric circles were counted, making the mound to be A. D. 1574.” It has been supposed by the villagers that the bones were deposited there before the discovery of America, but the finding of some metal tools with a French stamp, placed the date within our period.”

Indian bones and artifacts were bringing good money in those days, and settlers collected them when found. Johnson notes that one hundred and fifty persons a day visited this spot the first season, and carried off portions of the bones. There was no indication to which tribe these remains belonged to. “There was a settlement or Indian nation where appeared several white men under the cloak of missionaries, (the reason I use the term cloak is by the way it terminated), and preached to them the gospel of Jesus Christ. That they wished to erect a house of worship in their midst, in which they might do their oblation to the Great Spirit, and that if
they embraced the gospel they would have annuities from the government, to all of which the simple people of the forest made their assent. They immediately went to work, dug for the cellar, and erected the building on abutments of wood, and alleged that they would finish the cellar afterwards. When the chapel was finished the Indians began to worship in it. Now the time of the annuity arrived. The Indians were told to all congregate and get into the church, men, women and children, and all those who refused to enter, should be omitted in the distribution of the annuity. Consequently the building was entered by them and filled jammed full. But there were two suspecting Indians who kept a proper distance away, to see the result.” “After it was thought all had entered, there was a company of soldiers with guns and burning faggots, surrounded the building and set it on fire on all sides, after they had fastened the door. In this condition they all perished within the flames. I will not make any attempt to give a sketch or in any way write in words the honours and heartrending cries and moans of the dying children of nature in the flames through a

disguise of sheep's clothing, but will leave it to the conjecture of the reader.” “After the flames had subsided, these two Indians returned to the spot, and found a heap of bones in disarray, and they observed that some of the skulls and bones of the different parts of the body were fractured and broke open, supposed to have been done by the falling timbers of the burning house. It is said, "in one skull two flint arrow-heads were found." How easy for the artifice of the men that committed the massacre in the manner they did, to have sunk these two flint arrows into one of those skulls to leave the conjecture in after times to have been done by an Indian war.” “Mr. C P. Turner, with an honourable age of 72 years, in 1878. told me that he visited the deposit of these bones, the next day after they were uncovered, saw the skull with the two flint arrows in it, and saw the great deposit of bones in this mound, and also said the pile was in hap-hazard, and not " in regular layers," as stated above. He also saw bones which indicated being those of a child about 20 inches in height.”

Indigenous lacrosse stars Brendan Bomberry and Brennor Jacobs launch book NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
Throughout the years, whether playing with the Six Nations Arrows, Six Nations Chiefs, Iroquois Nationals or in the NLL, Brendan Bomberry who has played all over the globe, has always put up some lofty offensive numbers. Along with lacrosse, Bomberry has shown a real flair for the pen as he recently showed his creative side and passion for lacrosse by coming out with a 450 page book by Turtle’s Back Publishing called Akhwatsirehko:wa My Big Family-Our Game, Our Experience, Our Way. Naturally this publication which is being virtually released, includes lots of eye catching Six Nations content, including stories about the various lacrosse legends. “I was approached in 2018 just after I had finished my degree at Syracuse about jumping aboard but I wanted to wait just because of how stressful school has been for me,” Bomberry said. “I
Following two years of hard work, lacrosse legends Brendan Bomberry and Brennor Jacobs have launched their first lacrosse book which is a 450 page publication from Turtle’s Back Publishing called Akhwatsirehko:wa My Big Family-Our Game, Our Experience, Our Way.

eventually took a meeting with Turtle’s Back Publishing and I was hooked from there.” Bomberry, who at three years-old had his own lacrosse stick cut down to size, went on to state, “The book from start to finish took about two years. We talked to players like Randy Staats, Cody Jamieson, Lyle Thompson, Warren Hill, Brandon Montour, John Tavares, John Grant Sr, Bobby Allen and so many more. It’s geared towards adult literacy to help people find a book that they might find interesting but I think its good for all ages.”
Meanwhile co-authoring this book is another established lacrosse player in goalie Brennor Jacobs who is a good friend of Bomberry and has excelled playing Junior ‘A’ and ‘B’ in Six Nations, Wallaceburg, Toronto and London. In the book’s beginning, Jacobs wrote, “Lacrosse is probably my favorite sport in the world. The sport has such a long history within my culture that it just seems natural that I have come to enjoy the game so much. Ever since I was a kid, I have had a passion for the game, and I would regularly attend games with my father and grand-

father. I actually taught myself how to ready mostly through following the stats of the summer leagues and the National Lacrosse League.” Readers will get to learn and get the inside scoop on not only players but also coaches, referees, stick makers, fans and builders of the game. “The book talks about the various stories throughout our game that aren’t really told in the main stream media,” Bomberry said. “There are so many stories out there from people in our game and we wanted to bring that out to share with people.” This book also includes in depth stories of such lacrosse icons as John Tavares, Connor Wilson, Joakim Miller, Reilly Smith, Brendan Smith, Tim Wunderlich, Frank Lawrence, Keith Nyberg, Darris Kilgour, Allie Jimerson, Oliver Hill, and Jacelyn Lazore. Reminiscing on the book, it was a big highlight for Bomberry meeting and hearing the unbelievable lacrosse tales from the high calibre lacrosse players from Peterborough such as Bobby Allan, and
Johnny Davis. The legendary stories are included in the chapter called, ‘A sit down with the Legends of Peterborough Lacrosse. “I hope that people enjoy the book. It’s not a novel or anything like that. But there are a lot of different stories in there that I hope people can learn from and take away some things that will help them in their own lives,” Bomberry said. A purpose to this book was to explore the three areas of lacrosse which are spirituality, intellectual scholarship and emotional well being. “This is more than a sport,” said Alexandra Rosetta, publishing manager of Turtle’s Back Publishing. “It’s a way of life. It’s beautiful to hear people’s stories.” Looking ahead, Bomberry is hoping this book will get people across Canada interested in the game of lacrosse. “This has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my life,” Bomberry said. “I’ve always wanted to be a part of growing this amazing game that I love so much.
To be able to do that while helping boost indigenous literacy is an amazing feeling.” Writing this book is something that both Bomberry and Jacobs have always wanted to do. Now, they can sit back and admire the incredible indepth lacrosse book which people are already talking about. “It’s been an amazing and very rewarding process,” Jacobs said. “To be able to bring to light, and share all these incredible stories has been truly captivating. To hear just how far our sport has gone and how its strength has touched so many people around the world is very uplifting and as a Haudenosaunee person I really hope me and Bombs have written someindithing that captures that love and passion we both share for this game.” Meanwhile, reflecting on what lacrosse means to him Bomberry responded. “It’s tough for me to explain. It’s more than a game. It’s not just about wins and loses. It’s a traditional medicine game that I hold near and dear to my heart.”

The National Lacrosse League made official some highly optimistic, exciting news. Due to COVID-19, the league has been in a holding pattern regarding the upcoming 2020/21 season, until a recent announcement gave players, fans and management alike some hope. Heading into what would be the NLL’s 35th season, an October 28th announcement was made on the NLL’s website stating that they were looking to start Week 1 during the April 9-11, 2021 weekend. “We have been continuously working with our teams, Players’ Association, arenas, and health and government officials to prepare to play our 35th season,” NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewic said. “An April start date will give us sufficient time to have our protocols in place for players, coaches, staff as well as fans. We are working with all teams to provide the safest environment and acceptable level of fans in the stands. We understand that current circumstances will dictate whether this plan is achievable, and we will be prepared to remain flexible and pivot as needed. We want to thank all our players, fans and partners who have supported our efforts to stay connected and engaged during this prolonged offseason and are looking forward to returning to play in April.” Heading into the season, there are many

intriguing storylines to keep an eye on; one such example is the progress of those taken in this year’s virtual draft, which includes the likes of Six Nations product Marshall Powless who was chosen seventh overall by the Saskatchewan Rush. “It was really good news to see that the season could potentially start in April. I saw it on social media,” an excited Powless said. “I’m working out, and trying to keep my stick in my hands as best as possible.” Another sub-plot to the upcoming season revolves around veteran Mohawk goalie Angus Goodleaf who declared himself healthy and ready to go last August when he signed with the Philadelphia Wings. What makes the Goodleaf signing such a feel -good story was that he will be making his comeback after collapsing
Terry Teegee, who is Regional Chief of the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations, has a strong message for the NHL. While Teegee highly commends the league and NHL Players Association for speaking out during this past playoff run against violence to black citizens (Black Lives Matter) and other social justice movements, he also believes that more attention should be paid with the injustice happening with indigenous people. Teegee, who represents Takla Lake First Nation, sees some direct parallels to the injustice such as Black Lives Matter, to what is happening with indigenous people. “When this whole movement started with the killing of George Floyd and a number of Black folks in the United States, there was a real groundswell,” Teegee said. “It’s sad. There were very similar issues that happened (In Canada) such as the death of Colton Boushie, or other Indigenous people, (and) the only ones that really came out (to protest) were Indigenous people.” He also stated, “I think it would have been very good if the general public came out and supported some of the causes that we’re trying to raise to a higher level, because it’s happening here.” Over the last few months, there have been tragic cases of Indigenous people being murdered
by police. This includes such names as 26 -year-old Rodney Levi who is from Metepenagiag Mi’kmag Nation in New Brunswick and 26- year-old Chantel Moore from B.C., who was shot in Edmundston N.B. According to Kim Davis, the NHL’s senior executive vice- president of social impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs, the NHL has had at least 85 players who were Indigenous or had Indigenous Ancestry. “The league has, for some time, been meeting with Indigenous leaders to become better educated on the experiences and atrocities that have taken place in Canada, from residential schools to hateful and hurtful language or behaviour that has surfaced in youth and minor hockey,” Davis said. Going forward, Davis verbalized that members of the Indigenous community will have a strong say in what the league does to counter racism. “The resurgence of a global social justice movement occurred due to police brutality against the Black community in the United States (but) discrimination, racism and inequalities are not limited to this country or any one race,” Davis wrote in an e-mail. During the past football off-season, the Edmonton Eskimos (CFL) and Washington Redskins (NFL) made a move to switch their team names. Meanwhile, the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks were pressured to follow suit, but decided to not make a change.

in August 2019, when playing for the Kahnawake Mohawks during President’s Cup play. Goodleaf, who last season was with the New York Riptide, didn’t see any action. It wasn’t until February 2020, that he was cleared to play by his doctor. Several months later he signed with Philadelphia. “It’s going to be fun and exciting once we get to hit the floor,” Goodleaf said. “It’s been a long time for me. I’m excited for when that time comes.” Reflecting on the possible April start date, Goodleaf was excited but he knew that things could change. “It’s good to know that there’s a plan in place of when we want to start but I’m sure there’s a lot that needs to happen before we actually play at that time.” Taking into account
immigration use, arena facility use and current long term COVID-19 restrictions, the NLL is currently attempting to come up with different alternatives for a schedule. “The NLL has put together an excellent plan for our upcoming 35th season. We look forward to working together on behalf of all the players in our membership to get our 35th season underway,” Zach Currier, President, PLPA said. “It is reflective of what can be done with great communication and trust, and we cannot wait to get back to playing.” Players, management and fans alike are now left to play the waiting game in hoping that this optimistic bit of news comes to fruition and that there is NLL lacrosse being played in April.

Activity important for mental health CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A new study from UBC researchers finds that teens, especially girls, have better mental health when they spend more time taking part in extracurricular activities, like sports and art, and less time in front of screens. The study, published in the journal Preventive Medicine, found that spending less than two hours per day of recreational screen time (such as browsing the internet, playing video games, and using social media) was associated with higher levels of life satisfaction and optimism, and lower levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms, especially among girls, the researchers found. Similarly, extracurricular participation was associated with better mental health outcomes. "Although we conducted this study before the COVID-19 pandemic, the findings are especially relevant now when teens
may be spending more time in front of screens in their free time if access to extracurricular activities, like sports and arts programs is restricted due to COVID-19," says the study's lead author Eva Oberle, assistant professor with the Human Early Learning Partnership in the UBC school of population and public health. "Our findings highlight extracurricular activities as an asset for teens' mental wellbeing. Finding safe ways for children and teens to continue to participate in these activities during current times may be a way to reduce screen time and promote mental health and wellbeing." Data for this study was drawn from a population-level survey involving 28,712 Grade 7 students from 365 schools in 27 school districts across B.C. The researchers examined recreational screen time such as playing video games, watching television, browsing the internet, as well as partic-

ipating in outdoor extracurricular activities such as sport and art programs after school. They then compared its association with positive and negative mental health indicators. Adolescents who participated in extracurricular activities were significantly less likely to engage in recreational screen-based activities for two or more hours after school Among both boys and girls, however, mental health was strongest when teens both participated in extracurricular activities and spent less than two hours on screen time "We do know that some forms of screen time can be beneficial, like maintaining connections with friends and family members online if we cannot see them in person, but there are other types of screen time that can be quite harmful," she says. "There are many nuances that are not well understood yet and that are important to explore."

Travis Hamonic making a difference with Indigenous youth NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Throughout the years, Calgary Flames stay at home defenceman Travis Hamonic has always shown to be a first- class individual who eagerly contributes to numerous charities. This 10 -year veteran, who is known for his physical hard nose play, has gained a lot of admiration from teammates through the years for the countless hours of hard work and sacrifice he along with wife Stephanie has given through charities to the community. Hamonic, who is Metis decent, was drafted second round, 53rd overall in the 2008 NHL draft by the New York Islanders. Following seven years in New York, he was traded on June 24, 2017 to the Calgary Flames where he has played for the past three campaigns. During his career, Hamonic and wife Stephanie have been a standout
with such community endeavors as Charlie’s Children, D-Partner Program, Women In Need Society and most recently in 2017, a program called Northwest Program. This program’s objective holds the purpose of enriching lives of Indigenous youth residing in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon where they can experience the benefits of sports and education in their respective communities. This program also gave the Indigenous youth a thrilling opportunity for travelling courtesy of the Hamonic’s, to Calgary on an all expense paid trip to see the sites of Calgary and of course to watch a Flames game and meet Travis Hamonic. “My wife Stephanie and I are extremely excited to host Indigenous children and their families who may otherwise not have the opportunity to see an NHL game,” Hamonic said back in 2017 when he and the Flames launched this pro-
gram. “I hold my roots very close to my heart and hope this initiative provides the children and their families with a bit of light and hope for their future.” Continuing on, this 30 -year-old from St. Malo Manitoba went on to state, “I think the cool part for us is that we get to know the kids, their families and their stories. When we have a chance to talk to them, to discover where they are from--- it’s a while different culture and way of life up north—it’s a great learning experience for us. To find out what they do in their everyday life, how that impacts who they are, all of it has been very eye-opening for us.” Partnered with Hockey North, a collaboration of coaches, teachers and volunteers were encouraged to nominate in their community those children who they believed deserved to get that magical phone call from the Hamonic’s with an all expense paid weekend CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

trip to Calgary. “A lot of those communities are just so remote, and so far up there,” Hamonic said. “The logistics of travelling are certainly hard and it’s very expensive. So, we’re just trying to open our hands.” Away from the ice, the Hamonic’s are true heroes as seen by them winning the 2016/2017 NHL Foundation Player Award which goes to those “Who applies the core values of hockey commitment, perseverance and teamwork to enrich the lives of people in their community.” Another project that Hamonic has been involved with includes, “Hit The Ice” tv show, which is an opportunity for Canada’s young emerging First Nations hockey players to showcase their talents in an NHL type training camp, and possibly attract attentions of onlooking junior scouts. “Honestly, it’s the best feeling,” Hamonic said about seeing the positive feedbacks of the Northern Project. “Whatever it is you do, whether it’s charity work, helping someone out on the street; if you
can make someone smile, that’s the best feeling in the world.” Hamonic went on to add, “With the Northern Project, you see how grateful and excited they are—their eyes are wide open- but it’s one of those things where you realize how grateful you are to make that connection with Indigenous people. In our eyes, the world we want to be in is one where we try and help people.” Finding ways to help people through Northern Project and numerous other charities, without looking for fanfare is what Travis Hamonic and wife Stephanie are all about. Cutline- Calgary Flames defenceman Travis Hamonic and wife Stephanie have always given countless amount of time and energy to various community charities. In 2017, these two came up with the Northern Project which presents an opportunity for Indigenous youth living in remote places such as North West Territories, Nunavut and Yukon to travel all expense paid to Calgary and see a Flames game while also meeting Travis Hamonic.

Jaydon Dureau selected by Tampa Bay NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
Jaydon Dureau took a giant step towards realizing that ultimate dream of playing in the National Hockey League. Riding the momentum of a breakthrough 70- point campaign for the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks, this 19- year-old left winger experienced a huge thrill when in October’s 2020 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected fifth round, 147 overall by the Stanley Cup champions Tampa Bay Lightning. Normally, the NHL draft is held in late June, at a pre-destinated NHL arena, where those drafted players get to live out a dream of hearing their name being called and walking out on stage to shake hands with team management before putting on a team jersey and posing for pictures. However, due to COVID-19 these aren’t exactly normal times and as a result, the two -day draft was held online, which of
Life itself couldn’t get much better for Portland Winterhawks forward Jaydon Dureau who in the October 2020 NHL virtual draft, was selected fifth round, 147 overall by the defending Stanley Cup champions Tampa Bay Lightning. Dureau, whose mom represents Athahkakoop First Nation in Saskatchewan, was coming off a stelPHOTO lar season which saw him score 19 goals and 70 points.

course meant that family and prospects stayed home and followed proceedings on their computer. Dureau, who is from White City Saskatchewan, just completed his second season with Portland, where he broke though with 19 goals and 51 assists before the pandemic halted what was remaining of the season. Instead of watching the draft proceedings online, Dureau was dealing with the nerves and excitement by golfing with friends when his parents called with the good news
about being drafted by the Lightning. “I was really stressed and nervous so I wanted to get out of the house and be with some of my closer friends,” he said. Dureau, whose mother is from the Athahkakoop First Nation in Sask, went on to add, “We (friends) all went golfing and near the 17th hole, I got a call from my agent and parents. They all started texting me and congratulating me to let me know the good news.” In terms of his reaction to getting drafted an excit-
ed Dureau stated, “To be selected by a team that just won and they want you to be a part of their team, it’s a tremendous honour and I’m very grateful.” Usually after being drafted, that prospect would head off to development camp, where he would meet the staff and get familiar with the team, but that obviously didn’t happen this year due to COVID-19. As a result, each prospect such as Dureau, got to know their respective club officials through Zoom calls. “I’d much rather be able to go to Tampa to skate with everybody and meet everybody in person,” Dureau said. The WHL are targeting for an early January start to the 2020/21 season, but as of right now nothing is certain. Right now, Dureau is hoping for the opportunity to suit up for the Melville Millionaires who are a Junior ‘A’ team playing out of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, or (SJHL) for short.
Lest we Forget Let us not forget the enormous contributions of First Nations veterans. They volunteered to defend our shared values of freedom and democratic rights for all. We honour their courage, their sacrifices, and their accomplishments.
