Hospitable Six Nations greets NAIG teams

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena and the Gaylord Powless Arena at Six Nations as well as the outdoor box lacrosse rink at the Community Hall were kept busy over the weekend as the North American Indigenous Games kicked off it’s lacrosse events.

Team B.C. got in some extra hours at the Ohsweken outdoor rink to practice before their debut the next morning at the ILA against Team Ontario.

People of Six Nations have been very welcoming, very hospitable,” says Team B.C. Manager, Cherlyn Billy. “It’s a real honour being here.

The Six Nations Chiefs gave us all tickets to the game Saturday night and brought us on the floor and took some pictures with us.”

Team B.C. was created from 13 Nations put to-

gether specifically for the NAIG games.

“It’s the first time a lot of our girls have been to Ontario, so its kind of nice for them,” said Billy.

“I hope we can find some time to take in some culture.”

Six Nations Tourism has been in touch to help recommend sight-seeing locations for the teams.

Some from Team B.C. plan to tale in the Powwow before they return home.

Both men’s and women’s teams from throughout Turtle Island were booked for practice time at all the local and area arenas, blocked in, backto-back at one hour intervals.

The lacrosse portion of the NAIG Games got underway Monday morning at the ILA when Team B.C. met Team Ontario.

Team BC gets a little extra practice time at the outdoor rink at the Community Hall Sunday as they fine tune the team for the North American Indigenous Games which started Monday.

Elected Council hears complaints against dirt haulers

By TRT Staff OHSWEKEN – The weekly general council for the Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) brought forth a full discussion from Colleen Davis and Ryan Davis, who are residents living near the construction site of the proposed “water park” on Third Line Road.

The couples presentation overview brought forth concerns of public safety, health implications, environmental impact, and the general business plan for the water park project as for the next 4 years it is planned that over 5,000 loads of soil from local area cities will be dumped on the site.

Colleen Davis recognized that there had been community meetings regarding this site in the past year, but her concerns are relative to the issues that have come up in the present.

In late June the trucks were lined up around the concession. Local residents are worried about the quality of the soil. SUBMITTED PHOTO “The reason why we brought the issue was because we just wanted an open dialogue and we wanted an update,” said Davis. “We wanted an update on the situation and some background information, because maybe

the people that weren't able to attend the past meetings [want updated information].”

Questions regarding the testing of the soil and the foul smell of the soil were circulated, as it was made clear that many

within the community living near the site want access to the test results that judge the purity of the soil.

“It's affecting so many people, so that's when it was time to stand up,” she said. “We have our

children who are having to put on masks for their safety, and a situation like that should never exist.”

In 2014, the same issue of soil dumping heavily affected rural-area residents living near Toronto, as water and transit projects left behind a lot of dug up earth. Property values were lowered and the use of land nearby the dumping sites became limited for many of the affected residents, and farmers were concerned with the soil leeching contaminants. This was mainly due to the tricky rules around soil testing

and the unclear amount of dirt that can be dumped at one site, even though some municipalities have created bylaws regarding private property and land fill.

However, Troy Montour explained that the business plan for this project wasn't released to the public based on privacy.

“The reason we didn't give our plan out was because of all of the copycats,” said Montour. “[The park] is completely self-sufficient and paying for itself. We didn't ask for money from anyone and we're doing it completely by ourselves.”

But Montour added that access to the test results of the soil will be made available.

“It sounds like a broken record, we've been going over this for what, a year now? Same kind of meeting, every meeting is the same,” he said, as the community meetings that were held in the past for this project didn't have high attendance.

Yet another issue came to surface during the meeting as residents living near the site recalled their encounters with the reckless driving of the truckers that have been trucking the loads of soil.

This issue was brought to the attention of council by Councilllor Sherri-Lyn Hill-Pierce after complaints from several Six Nations residents explained that they wanted the trucking to stop.

Wendy Johnson, a resident on Third Line explained that when it comes someone making a livelihood and building the economy on Six Nations – she's supportive.

“But when it becomes a safety concern then it's CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

North American Indigenous Games Rocks Toronto

By Chezney Martin

TORONTO – Over 5,000 athletes from unique and diverse indigenous backgrounds from across North America have travelled to compete in the 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) to represent their respective nations, tribes and peoples. Their attendance came the opening ceremonies on Sunday, July 16 at the Aviva Centre.

Greetings and welcome speeches by Chief Ava Hill, Chief Stacey LaForme, a representative of the Wyandot and the Metis each gave the athletes a sense of unity in competition. Performances

and more also graced the stage before eyes of youth that will carry their people into the future.

But although the ceremony itself was postponed for two hours and the parade of athletes and pep-rallies were cancelled, the opening ceremonies raged on to welcome athletes, families, friends and spectators with an event that will be remembered for decades.

This year in particular has tied NAIG to something much more purposeful than meets the eye.

The NAIG committee wanted to make the event an integral part of reconciliation by making the theme Team 88. This theme represents a direct tie to the Truth and

Reconciliation Commission's 88th Call to Action – which directs Canada to support indigenous sports.

Indigenous sports are pieces that hold familial, cultural and social connection for indigenous people. Athleticism and competition also run deep within indigenous people, and the games help to promote healthy competition and active living.

With over 10,000 Team 88 flags waving in the stands, it was easy to see that the theme of this year's NAIG is both an “in your face” and a beautiful showcase of indigenous involvement and contribution to sport across North America.

OPINION

Revisiting the negotiations for Burtch

We Need Medicine EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW

Nurses administer medicine.

They do not prescribe medicine nor do they create it. A doctor makes an order and then there are people who administer it for the patient. That’s the way it works.

In the same way, Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) is an administrative body. It says Administration right on the front of the building for crying out loud, take a look for yourself.

They are supposed to administer our funds for us and to a certain extent they do. Unfortunately for us, Canada mismanaged the Indian Trust Fund in 1867 by amalgamating it with their General Trust Fund and we lost all accounting (or so they say). That was Canada’s fault. Now who do we trust?

Now, instead of being paid from our own funds, the Indian Act has apparently replaced everything including our old treaties and we are being swept under the rug with all of the other 500-plus oppressed indigenous nations.

Today, the Elected Council administers those funds on behalf of each Six Nations band member and it signs a lot of pay cheques.

Only, the Elected Council shouldn’t be making national decisions for the Haudenosaunee, especially decisions that negatively affect our lives — just as a nurse shouldn’t be prescribing medicines without a doctor.

SNEC is an administration system without direction, which isn’t even their fault.

Much blame has been cast upon the notorious 1924 RCMP raid. The thing is, we don’t really know much about what happened back then. Some say there was corruption in the Confederacy, others say the Mohawk work-

ers were behind the overthrow.

There’s even a story about a destroyed fence being the tipping point. We just don’t know.

We do know there has been these same types of problems since colonization began. In the June 21st issue of the Two Row Times, in an article by Dr. Michael Doxtater, we published a photograph showing 23 names of condoled Confederacy Chiefs who signed in favour of the 1880 Indian Act. “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.” So we can’t say everything was perfect right up until 1924 when the “Band Council” ruined everything.

We have been under duress for hundreds of years with our entire existence on the line. Our people have been divided so many times we are just fractions of what we used to be.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council is split again just like it was in 1880 and instead of discussing solutions like they are supposed to, condoled Hoyane and entire families are being railroaded. Just look at what they are doing to Sam General and the Cayuga Wolf Clan.

Being a regular person on Six Nations who is affected by the HCCC vs. SNEC tension feels like having two dysfunctional parents in a strange way.

By Douglas Whitlow; B.A., First Nations Studies The Burtch property which has been the topic of much political discussion as of late is located just to the west of the Six Nations Indian Reserve where First Line Road meets the Cockshutt Road. The land was a farm in the early 1930s but was annexed by Canada and turned into an Army Air Force Base in the Second World War. The land was also part of the much larger Haldimand Tract of almost one million acres of land which were granted to the; Mohawks and others of the Six Nation Indians under the terms and conditions of the Haldimand Proclamation of October 24, 1784.

According to the wording of the 1784 Proclamation, Captain Joseph Brant, a (Mohawk Officer in the British Continental Army of North America) and the soldiers and civilians under his care and control; were Granted the Ouse (Grand) River and all lands stretching for a distance of six miles on either side of the river from the mouth of the river where the river empties into Lake Erie to the headwaters or source of the river at the modern-day village of Dundalk, Ontario. These lands were to be used and held by the Mohawks and others forever. However; Brant and his companions soon found out that the word forever meant something totally different to the British people and their Monarchy, which is why so many people today are laying claim to the land in question.

Looking backward from an historical approach, almost as soon as the Mohawks and their other Indian companions arrived at their new home along the Grand River in 1784, greedy non-Indian

squatters and unscrupulous Indian Agents began stealing small and large parcels of land with the blessings of the British Government which did little to stop the thefts. According to a Land Update issued by the Six Nations Elected Council in August, 2006; the British Authorities issued a series of notices beginning in 1805 and continuing on in 1812, 1839 and 1840 informing squatters to leave the area but doing nothing to force the squatters to vacate the land they were on. According to the SN Land Report; there was a certain amount of illegal land acquisition activity in the Burtch Tract and even Samuel Jarvis (the Indian Affairs Superintendent) said that he did not expect anyone above his rank to do anything about the thefts. And so; one could argue that the Burtch Land Question is as old as the Haldimand Tract itself and no one should be surprised that even today in the summer of 2017, the Burtch Land is once again being fought over; however, this time it is the “Indians” themselves who are fighting each other for a few hundred acres.

This latest round for the Burtch Lands began in 2006 when a group of “feisty Iroquois women” decided to stop a large Home Construction Project in the Haldimand County Town of Caledonia on the Eastern Border of the Six Nations of the Grand River Reservation. The women's attempts to stop the project was a huge success for everyone living in the local Iroquois Community even though the women and their supports had to physically fight the governments of Canada, Ontario and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to halt the construction and land destruction at what we know now as DCE. At

the height of hostilities in early 2006 after the Six Nations people had blockaded the road leading into Caledonia, a former Premier of Ontario, David Petersen said Ontario would give the land at the former Burtch Correction Centre and Airport back to Six Nations if the Barricades were removed.

The Six Nations people agreed to the offer and the barricades were removed.

However; in a “a true, Dishonest Government and Political Fashion”, it took more than 11 years for Canada and Ontario to live up to their end of the bargain.

With the barricades down, all parties related to the work stoppage at DCE (Six Nations; Canada; Ontario) got together and began a series of talks to settle exactly who owned the land where the Douglas Creek Estates Housing Development would have been constructed.

The talks began with a main table and slowly over time morphed into four additional side table discussions. All side tables were manned by members from Ontario; Canada; and supporters of the Six Nations Elected Council and the De Facto Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council. The author of this essay sat as a member of the Archaeology and Appearance Side Table and as an Alternate member of the Burtch Sub-Committee which grew out of the Lands Table.

The DCE Talks continued for several years with a lot of talking but no action and eventually just ground to a halt as none of the parties could not and simply, would not; agree on anything. One of the reasons for the talks coming to an end was due to the fact that the Six CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks The path forward includes all life not just human life

By Rachel A. Snow

In all the colonial talk, we keep hearing the same rhetoric for solutions to the “Indian problem”. Recently released Federal principles are so principled that they did not involve the indigenous voices – I should think this would be the first principle to follow.

The processes of the mainstream thinkers apply one size fits all solutions to our original people. This supposedly passes for equality. It is however, highly disrespectful of the sovereign and distinct ways of each of our nations.

Many First Nations welcomed the settlers because they understood that the land, rivers and animals were gifts for all people. We would naturally share with our new white brothers and sisters. This value was quickly mistaken for weakness or ignorance.

Is it not a higher value to extend help then it is to hoard possessions like some miser intent on taking worldly items no further than a grave?

Time after time, the in-

digenous stand up to try to explain their positions.

What do the white agencies hear? They hear our truths in terms of their understanding. That is they take our indigenous, spiritual ways of thinking and put them into white speak and whitesplain them back to us. This is settler dissonance.

For example, the missing and murdered inquiry for and girls (MMIWG) is crumbling. Why? Because the federal government conducted pre-inquiry meetings then passed off this baton without information or follow-up.

They hired “aboriginal” commissioners or commissioners with aboriginal “experience”, who supposedly would understand the families and victims’ expectations without the pre-inquiry proceedings. Therefore, this is further miscommunication about what the expectations of the federal government are, versus the families of victims versus the commissioner’s mandates. In short, it is a collision of different worldviews.

Mainstream approaches MMIWG with a focus

on the marginalization of women based on gender, with lip service to systemic racism and “giving a voice to families”. This is wrong. Indigenous women are the heart of our nations. They are the first educators, who embody the relationship of land and nurturing within our communities.

These women become our matriarchs. They are to pass on our ways, traditions, ceremonies, and inherent knowledge to future generations. They perform a communal role that began in our Creation stories and will continue with ancestral specificity into the future. They are not individual women but are mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and wives who are part of a family, clan and community.

This first principle is misunderstood. The role of First Nations women has communal impact.

Each time the inquiry ventures out, they apply mainstream thinking to a uniquely indigenous “problem”. It is not working. Mainstream divides their thinking into compartments and sees

only the branches on the tree. Indigenous thinking people see the tree as a whole, and that the tree is part of the forest, which is part of Creation and the cosmos.

Government drove First Nation people onto reserves. Governments issued passes so that the original people became prisoners of the reserve system and to the Indian agent who permitted passage outside the reserve.

Government stripped the people on reserves of food rations, hunting areas and their way of life. They have tried to break the spirit and foundations of indigenous peoples. Have they succeeded in breaking the original people?

Have the original people become assimilated “Aboriginal Canadians”? No. The original people are going back to the paths of their ancestors. The paths of the newcomers are hard places where you cannot feel the earth.

The paths of the newcomers do not lead anywhere but to a value system that does not work even for the newcomers, themselves.

The paths of the orig-

inal people are diverse and beautiful. They teem with life, vibrancy and the peace of a thousand generations. These paths respect women, their roles and their power.

While some paths may have grown over from disuse, they are not gone.

They are the roads that our ancestors walked with dignity and spiritual strength. It is only the return to these paths that will help our communities.

This indigenous thinking has to lead any undertaking that purports to help the original people today. If the undertaking is genuinely trying to assist the original people then the solutions are in our own inherent knowledge systems. The original people are not reconciling themselves to a system that is broken and works for the individual while harming the whole.

The non-indigenous should be reconciling their tainted values with these higher values held by the first peoples of this land.

The original people welcomed the settlers.

They believed that the

settlers walked a path similar to their own. This thought has continued throughout the history of settler-First Nation relations. Treaties like the two row wampum speak of a co-existence in separate but forward moving vessels. As the first peoples respected the presence of settlers, they believed that their own lifestyles would be acknowledged and allowed to continue.

With the many challenges facing the original people that include poverty, unemployment, incarceration, and high rates of suicide, come the solutions that are community driven approaches. The answers for many indigenous hardships are found in our original systems. These systems protect all life, including the land, waters, plants and animals. As we move forward as a race of human beings, is it not better to ensure that all life also goes forward? Is it not better for settlers to reconcile themselves with our centuries old systems unique to this island?

This is what reconciliation really should be.

Six Nations Farmer Kris Hill planning for harvest at Burtch

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — Ever since 1924, the issue of who was to administrate and oversee the communal land of the Six Nations of the Grand River has been one of the most burning questions generations of Six Nations residents have wrestled with.

The question may be about to be dealt with in a Canadian court of law regarding the Burtch lands, recently returned to Six Nations. For the uninitiated, it would seem a pretty simple thing. But to those who know the history of the Haldimand Tract the many admitted to land swindles, it isn’t so cutand-dried.

Last week, the Six Nations Elected Council issued a statement warning local farmer Kris Hill, to remove herself from the 250 farmable acres of the Burtch Land.

And here’s the rub. Kris Hill has a lease agreement with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council allowing her to plant there. The Elected Council and the traditional council have locked horns over who has the right and authority to decide who is to plant, or for that matter, who could occupy the Burtch Lands now that it has been given back to the

Six Nations farmer Kris Hill and supporters work between the rows of soya beans at the Burtch lands. Despite Hill being served papers to force her eviction from communal land, she is determined that she and the Chiefs Council are right and the Elected Council cannot justify their threat against her. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE people of Six Nations.

At play here is the fact that this particular piece of land has been under a 999-year lease since it was promised to Henry Gates soon after arriving here with the Brant contingent in 1784, and became one of the founders of Mount Pleasant.

Gates was a good friend

and Loyalist known to have been taken under the arm of Brant following the Revolutionary War. That lease was verified by Catherine Brant, Joseph’s widow, after Captain Brant died in 1807.

The Catherine Brant affidavit was drafted at the Mohawk Village, on March 20th, 1835, and reads:.

“I, Catherine Brant, widow of the late Captain Joseph Brant on the Grand River Indian Territory of Lands, do hereby certify that Henry Gates, received of and from the said late Captain Joseph Brant certain lands on the said Grand River Territory near Mount Pleasant line, as for a compensation or remuneration for and on account of the services of him, the said Henry Gates, as a drummer since and during the late war between the United States of America and Great Britain.”

But the transaction was not registered since Joseph Brant had died before the paper work could be done.

When Gates wanted to sublease part of the original huge tract to his new son-in-law, Charles Burtch, Gates pushed to have that promised 999-year lease certified by Six Nations, which it was with the blessing of the Chiefs.

In June of 1835, Gates confirmed in a letter to Lieutenant Governor Sir Francis Bondhead that Brant expressed a desire and made a promise to Gates of 200 acres of land in consideration of his service to the Crown and to Brant’s Mohawks.

William Hepburn was the Acting Trustee for the Six Nations Indians at the time and it was his interpretation of what the Six Nations wanted that arbitrarily changed an existing lease into a land patent, which he said the Chiefs wanted. There is no record to indicate that in fact, the Chiefs wanted Brant’s Lease to be turned into a Patent as soon as possible.

Six Nations Confederacy has denied it endorsed the Patenting of this and other Brant Leases.

It is important to note that this was long before the elected government was imposed in 1924.

Back to today.

“Band Council and a numbered company (the one they set up to receive the Burtch land) served me with papers explaining they were applying for a motion to seek an injunction to get me off of the property,” Hill explained.

“It is my understanding that they took the land

from the government and that it was done through that corporation and that the land is to be held in trust by the corporation for the people of Six Nations.”

But according to the letter to Hill from Band Council, if she did not comply, she would be charged with trespassing.

Hill’s argument is not only based on an interpretation of old agreements and leases, but rather on much more modern promises and on common logic.

“The Confederacy negotiated for transfer of the land when they got the Peterson promise in 2006 where the Burtch land was to be returned (to Six Nations) under the same manner it was held in the Haldimand (Proclamation),” Hill said, while working with a number of supporters in the field. “That’s pretty straight forward. “ It is her understanding that the land in fact was returned to the people of Six Nations through the traditional Haudenosaunee governing body and registered under the Confederacy’s own land registry.

“They (the Confederacy) have been managing the land for the past 10 years, in terms of who is on the land and who was doing

what,” Hill says.

She says she is prepared to fight any charge that may be levied upon her in court if she has to.

Hill sees the present situation as the Elected Council overstepping its authority, as spelled out under the Indian Act. “They do not have the authority to come after a community member and take them off land that is communally owned,” she says.

The confederacy first gave Hill and her ex-husband the right to plant, but since then, they have broken up creating a question of whether the lease partnership was also dissolved at that time, making it invalid. However she says she has received a second lease in her name only to override the first one.

Hill and her crops remain at the Burtch site, which she intends to harvest later this summer.

“The way I was brought up and the way most of our people believe is that when you plant something, you don’t just leave it uncared for to die,” she says.

SNEC is putting out surveys to the community to get feedback on what to do with the communally held land.

“When trucks drive down the middle of the road – at you – and they don't move over. When you have kids who are home from university, my daughter going to school and saying 'I almost got hit by one of the transports today,' and this is a regular thing.”

“The reason why I voiced my concern to Sherri-Lyn is because I went down the road at 8:15 a.m., in the morning on Third Line, and I couldn't get through Third Line because of the trucks lined up to dump,” she said.

Johnson explained that the trucks weren't just dump trucks, but full transport trucks. She also explained that she had to go around the concession to finish her errands, and came back on Tuscarora Road to find it being backed up half-way through the concession.

All of the cars waiting to pass through couldn't due to the hills and bends as

well as not being able to see past the trucks. She also noted the speeding of the truck drivers.

“I passed those trucks on Fourth Line and they are flying, there's no speed limit to them,” she said.

Johnson was backed by several community members in attendance that have similar experiences, with some bringing up that they've seen the truckers with their cell phones in hand while driving.

However, the regulation of the trucks and the drivers is in the hands of the companies that hire and train the drivers.

A man seated near Montour introduced himself as “Amarante,” who explained that he works for one of the companies that truck the soil onto the property.

“I would like to apologize for all of the inconvenience the trucks have made,” said Amarante.

“I completely understand where you guys are coming from,” he said.

“We have a plan where you guys won't see 50 trucks at once. We have a plan where the trucks will be parking outside of the reserve, and we will send in five trucks at a time.”

Amarante also explained that if the police give him any complaints for a certain driver, the driver will be removed immediately.

Several of the councillors including Bob Johnson, Mark Hill and Audrey Powless voiced their own concerns in accordance to the issues brought forth. But, it was decided that the issues in entirety would have to be dealt with by the council as a whole in the near future to find level resolutions.

TURTLE ISLAND – Sometime before 1888, an aged Tuscarora shaman, who went by the English name Joseph Williams, was interviewed about ancient remedies of the Tuscarora for a wide range of ailments.

The handwritten manuscripts from that interview were translated from the Tuscarora language, collected by J.N.B. Hewitt and filed with the Bureau of American Ethnology Catalogue of Manuscripts under number 435 — Iroquois, in the year 1888. There were 31 remedies for various diseases handwritten on 15, 8x12 pages.

We publish these traditional remedies for his-

torical interest only and do not in any way endorse or promote these remedies as safe for use today.

For dysentery, another remedy is used, namely, Choke Cherry, or Virginiana. The bark of the root of this shrub is used being made into an infusion and being drunk.

For dysentery, still another remedy is in vogue being the bark from the roots of the White Oak. The bark must be taken from the root, which runs directly eastward, and an infusion made from it by steeping and taken inwardly.

For prolapses ani, common among small children, the ashes from a snail’s shell, Helix, or Paludina Vivipara, are administered.

The shell used must be empty and not occupied by a snail. If a shell that is still occupied is reduced to ashes and this taken fatal results must be expected.

The empty shell is cast into the fire and when reduced to ashes, these must be given in a small quantity of water to the patient. To reduce the prolapses, the patient is kept in bed for several days to allow the patient to gain strength.

Rectal prolapse often used to mean complete rectal prolapse (external rectal prolapse), where the rectal walls have prolapsed to a degree where they protrude out the anus and are visible outside the body.

The negotiations for Burtch continued from page 6 Nations Elected Council took their old Lands Claims Initiative out of (Abeyance) and reintroduced them to the governing bodies in Ottawa and Toronto.

Once this occurred, the fight for Burtch began in earnest as The Ontario Realty Corporation began to Clean Up the Burtch property in preparation for the “Hand Back” to the Six Nations Community. It is interesting to note that as the DCE talks were under way a couple of “new players” arrived on the scene; these were the HDI which claimed to be affiliated with the Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council; and the Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs complete with a newly Minted (Minister).

Once the Burtch sub-committee had been assembled and meeting times and protocols agreed to by the members and the Main Table, the squabbling began as the Confederacy Chiefs Reps and those of the Elected Council fought for the lead position even though all Six Nations members in Canada and the United States become Confederacy members at birth. This means that even the Elected Chief and Council are members of the Iroquois Confederacy in spite of those individuals who believe that only Iroquois people who support the

Chiefs Council belong to the Confederacy.

However; the Burtch Committee eventually overcame its birthing pains and worked out a plan which was agreeable to the Feds and the Province known as the: Burtch Demolition and Environmental Remediation Paper.

The 14-page final document was prepared for the MAA Negotiating Team by the PIR/ ORC (Provincial Infrastructure and Renewal/Ontario Realty Corporation in December 2007. The Ontario Realty Corporation owned the Burtch property along with all other Crown Assets in the province. At the time of the signing of the document, the Burtch site consisted of 38 buildings and other structures such as corn cribs, sports playing fields and a water treatment plant located on 378 acres of land. In addition to these there were s series of paved roads, walkways and the old Airplane landing strip and runways.

The committee and the two levels of government agreed that all of the assets listed above were to be razed, torn up and all debris cleaned and removed and all land returned to its original condition before the land would be returned to the people listed in the terms of the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784.

As the Burtch Clean-up continued, the HDI supposedly on behalf of the Confederacy Chiefs Council got involved by sending at least one monitor to the project, while the newly Minted, Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs eventually took the reins out of the hands of the Ontario Realty Corporation. Once more; just like way back in the early 1800s, the government once again stuck its nose into Six Nations Affairs. This time however; with the DCE Talks out of the way, the Six Nations Elected Council threw a team of Negotiators from the Lands and Resources Department into the fray.

The Team was known as the Consultation and Accommodation Program (CAP) Team. This Team became responsible for “eventually” bringing the Burtch Lands back to the Six Nations Community via a Corporation headed by the Director of the Lands and Resources Department and the Department's leading Land Rights Consultant who incidentally sit as members of the CAP Team. One could argue that this may constitute a “conflict of interest”; however, one thing is certain: The Six Nations of the Grand River finally won a small battle in the Big War for our Land Reclamation Processes.

Homelessness in Hamilton: the struggle of displaced Indigenous men

By Tyson Benn A priority issue not receiving priority attention that is affecting the Hamilton community is Indigenous homelessness— the ‘urban native’ population of the broader Indigenous community that is routinely overlooked. These people bring rich and diverse cultural components, histories, language, and skills from their home communities, and their familial traditions to make up the unique Indigenous social fabric of our community.

Indigenous Hamiltonians are lumped together, viewed as a singular group, and referred to as such in the social discourse. These individuals find themselves facing chronic homelessness in larger numbers than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Studies show that traumas are more widely experienced and are damaging to identity for-mation and development, that resulting substance use and mental health issues are magnified, that

poverty is experienced more deeply, and that the systemic racism inherent in our collective response more firmly entrenched.

The social service system is designed to force a Western ideal of achievement and success that Indigenous people lack the opportunity or desire to fulfill. The collective and cooperative nature of Indigenous governance and leadership does not fit with the hierarchical nature of how the municipality, province, and country has opted to structure its government.

Pressure to prize indi-vidualism and autonomy that aligns with policy is the contemporary spawn of colonial con-sciousness. As a result many of these men and women in urban environments are disconnected from culture and tradition, forced to give these things up or to never connect with them in the first place.

They are not respected and valued for their distinct identities. They face intergenera-tional trauma and a cycle of abuse

that is passed down through their families and communities due directly to the lasting legacies of Residential schools and the 60s Scoop— the result of gov-ernment policies which forced Indigenous people from their families, their lands, their language, and their history, and placed them in unfamiliar environments. Forced to try and create a life with a significant piece of their identity missing, these traumas and larger community issues are deliberately perpetuated by a system and environment that is intentionally constructed to be ex-clusionary to Indigenous people.

We need to re-think the way in which we treat and address Indigenous homelessness from a sys-tems perspective. To achieve quick progress that is not mired in the bureaucracy of government institutions and processes, a response needs to start at the community level. Hamilton, ON is home to an Indigenous population that makes

up approximately 3% of its total population, yet represent between 26%47% of the total homeless population according to the 20 000 Homes Campaign and Social Planning & Research Council of Hamilton surveys completed in 2015. They are predominately men, are approximately 40 years of age on average, and utilize shelter services less frequently than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Men prefer to couch surf, staying with family and friends at various times, and are often difficult to track and assess as they are hidden from public view. Overwhelmingly, Indigenous men hold a distrust for community institutions such as shelters, social service agencies, police, and government services that historically have contributed to the marginalization they have experienced collectively.

When looking at the discrepancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous emergency shelter use among homeless men

(~47% vs. ~61%, respectively), Indigenous men simply do not feel these are safe or welcoming spaces for them to sleep.

Anecdotally, there is heightened risk of assault, theft, substance use, illegal activity, and racial discrimination that frequently occurs. One man I met recently told me that as he was being kicked out of the shelter, sent out into the street with-out a place to sleep for the night over a trivial misunderstanding, the staff discharging him told him at least he still had thirty minutes until the liquor store closed. The tired stereotype of the drunken Indian is still prevalent even among mainstream professionals, let alone the wider community, and contribute to the lack of trust Indigenous people have for the system they are required to operate within. There are also no emergency shelter supports geared towards Indigenous men specifically in Hamilton, whereas Indigenous women are serviced by

two shelters, a transitional housing program, and a rent-geared-to-income subsidized housing organization that prioritizes homeless women.

The Truth and Reconciliation Report offered 94 calls to action for all levels of government and all citizens to actively participate in to begin the process of returning proper autonomy to Indige-nous people across Canada and North America, in order to allow a process of collective healing to begin.

The nineteenth call to action requires that “… the federal government, in consultation with Aboriginal peoples, [sic] establish measurable goals to identify and close the gaps in health outcomes between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities, and to publish annual progress reports and assess long term trends.”

Hamilton already has established Indigenous community organizations, structure, leaders, CONTINUED ON PAGE 36

F.A.Q What exactly is a Pow-Wow anyways?

A pow wow is a social gathering of Indigenous People from North America. Typically there are two kinds of pow wow - Traditional and Competition style. The ‘Grand River Champion of Champions Pow- Wow’ is a competition pow-wow, one of the oldest and largest in Ontario. That means the dancers and drummers competing are skilled athletes and professionals who practice year round.

What happens at a Pow-Wow?

At the ‘Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow’, dancers and drum groups from across the United States & Canada compete to “place” for a cash prize of either 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the style category they choose to compete in. This is done by collecting points throughout the weekend. At the end of the weekend the dancer with the most points is named the “Champion of Champions”. That winner holds the title the entire year and receives a huge trophy.

What do the “costumes” mean?

Indigenous people never refer to their dancing attire as a costume. This is a common slip of the tongue - so don’t worry if you accidentally called it that.

A costume is something a person wears when they are dressing up as something they are not - for example at Hallowe’en you might see someone wearing a zombie costume. A better term to use is ‘outfit’ or ‘regalia’.

Why do different dancers wear different looking outfits?

There are 6 main styles of dance done at Grand River; Traditional Dances simply called Men’s or Women’s Traditional, Medicine Dances - Men’s Grass and Women’s Jingle, and Fancy Dances - Men’s Fancy Feather and Women’s Fancy Shawl. Within those styles the dancers are again divided according to age to make for easier judging; Golden Age, Adult, Teen, Kids, and Tiny Tot categories.

Where do I sit?

There are bleachers provided for the public. You can also bring your own lawn chair. Keep it on the outside of the area roped off for dancers and judges. There is an accessible seating area close to the drummers tent reserved for elders and persons with disabilites.

THE GROUNDS Drum Tent

Where do you get the outfits?

A dancer’s outfit is very personal and usually holds special meaning to them.

Dancers at the competitive level invest thousands of dollars and years of work into all the components that make up their regalia. Some dancers make their own regalia from scratch. But there are also highly skilled Indigenous Artists throughout North America who bead, craft and sew all the pieces that make up a person’s regalia for a living. The compilation of a dancer’s outfit is often an expression of who they are. Sometimes they will put a symbol on their outfit that represents what nation they come from or wear feathers they earned in honour of a special accomplishment they have achieved. Each person’s outfit is a piece of wearable art and means something special to the owner.

Can I take pictures of the dancers?

There are certain times during the pow-wow that you can’t take pictures.

Listen to the emcees and they will let you know when it is not okay to take pictures. In general, it is okay to take pictures of the dancers during competitions. However if you are want to take a dancer’s picture when they are walking about the rest of the pow-wow grounds it’s always appreciated if you ask for their permission first. Don’t be nervous, most of the time they will be glad to pose for you.

Are dogs or pets allowed?

No pets are allowed onto the powwow grounds except for working guide dogs for those who are visually impaired.

The inspiration to dance: Interview with Marissa Anderson

By Chezney Martin

Marissa Anderson Smoke Dancing. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

For the coming weekend the Six Nations community will be preparing for two of the largest summer events that will take place as showcases of culture and coming together.

The Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow begins on Friday, July 21, and the 5th Annual Lyle Anderson Memorial Smoke Dance Contest kicks off in the afternoon of Sunday, July 23. Both events will bring together hundreds of dancers, singers and vendors of diverse back grounds.

But the triumph of dancers in the thick summer heat is sometimes overlooked. So, to honour the powwow trail and the path of a dancer, Two Row Times reached out to 17 year-old Marissa Anderson from Six Nations for a Q&A. Anderson's Onkwehon:we name is Degahnegahkwa which means “she gathers water,” and she is of the Turtle Clan and Mohawk Nation.

She is both a smoke dancer and jingle dress dancer, who has hopes of attending Niagara College for Police Foundations in the near future. Along with aspirations for the future, she carries responsibilities and ideals that many dancers carry as they inspire other youth and children during their travels. Here

For me, dancing is my happiness and where I find peace and essence within the arena is her interview: How long have you been dancing?

I have been dancing ever since I was a little girl in tiny tots. I am now in my last year of the teen category. I compete nation-wide in the smoke dance and jingle dress categories. As it is my last year in teens, I will giving back to the circle by hosting a Smoke Dance and Jingle Dress Teen Vs. Women Special this upcoming weekend during the Grand River Powwow and Lyle Anderson Smoke Dance Memorial.

What inspired you to dance and how has it impacted your life?

My inspiration to dance came from my Mom Mandy, my Gramma Evelyn and my Auntie Charlene. I've always enjoyed watching

them and [I became] the dancer I am today because of them. Dancing has impacted my life socially – I have gained so many family and friendships over the years across North America.

If you make your own regalia, how does it feel to be able to wear something you've made for yourself?

I make my own dresses and it's the best feeling dancing in something that I made, it makes me dance harder because it shows that I am proud of what I made and what I am capable of doing. I also made a few other people's dresses and shirts, and I love seeing others dance in what I made.

Many dancers are taught that when they

Be it new confidence, higher self esteem, a way to connect with your culture.

Dancing has given me

new friendships that I wouldn't change for anything. I also get an excitement in my body and happiness that nothing else can give me. Dancing isn't something that you

take advantage of because there are people who can't dance and wish they could.

Dancing is a gift that you should treasure. For me, dancing is my happiness and where I find peace and

essence within the arena.

It is where I escape from reality for a little bit. I am forever grateful to have the ability to dance.

up to me and tell me that I am their idol when it comes to dancing and that is one of the main reasons why I will continue to dance. I will dance for the little ones who look up to me, my elders, my family, my community and most importantly, I will dance for those who can't.

If you had to compare Haudenosaunee with Powwow dancing, what would you say are the biggest differences and similarities?

The biggest differences between Haudenosaunee and Pow wow dancing are the different directions you dance in, the outfits, and the songs. The similarities are that you can travel everywhere to participate in pow wows just as you can to attend ceremonies or go to socials and sings.

wear their regalia they have to carry themselves as role models, were you taught something similar?

Yes, I was taught that when I'm in my outfit I need to be a role model and set a good example, nothing else matters. It doesn't matter if someone tries “copying” you, because when you dance you are sharing your gift and your ability to dance with everyone and it doesn't matter. I was taught that when I dance I not only represent myself but also my family and my community.

How does it feel as a dancer, to possibly inspire other young ladies to dance?

My favourite thing ever is inspiring the youth dancers. At Salamanca pow wow, I had a few little girls come

Ontario court halts quarry over lack of consultation The Canadian Press

by the First Nation.

The court says negotiations between the province and the First Nation began in 2011 but the ministry later offloaded the responsibility to T & P Hayes, which refused to take it on.

It says talks stalled in 2015 and the licence was granted the following year. The licence has now been revoked until proper consultations are conducted.

Even though some issues were resolved, the process followed by the

ministry ``does not pass constitutional muster,'' Justice David Corbett wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel. ``(The ministry's) position _ that whatever process failures there may have been along the way, by the end, (the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation's) substantive concerns had been heard and addressed _ misses the central thrust of (the First Nation's) concerns here,'' he wrote. ``(The First Nation's) objection and a valid ob-

SAUGEEN FIRST NATION — An Ontario court has halted a limestone quarry project on the Bruce Peninsula nearly a decade in the making after finding the province failed to properly consult First Nations whose traditional territory encompasses the area.

In a decision released last week, the court says the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry failed in its constitutional duty to hold

meaningful consultations with the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation before approving the project.

It says the ministry did not properly notify the First Nation of the project until three years after the application was filed, and then repeatedly pulled out of the process and funding it had promised.

T & P Hayes Ltd. applied for a licence in 2008 for a limestone quarry on land it owns, which is not part of a reserve or claim

jection is that there has never been a proper consultation process, and that the identification of (the First Nation's) concerns remains preliminary and subject to review and change through proper consultations.''

For the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation, which includes the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and the Saugeen First Nation, ``consultation on the project was disjointed, inconsistent, and an exercise in frustration,'' Corbett said.

The First Nation has been clear that it needs funding to hire experts who can assess technical reports related to the project, he said. ``Funding was agreed but never delivered. (The Saugeen Ojibway First Nation) continues to be willing to undertake consultation if it receives the promised funding. It also continues to maintain that it may require more funding, which it will address with (the ministry) after it has completed its preliminary work.''

T & P Hayes, for its part, just wanted the project to progress without incurring further costs and ended up feeling caught between the two parties, the court said.

Nevertheless, ``Hayes' frustration and its interests in moving forward with the project are not valid reasons to defeat (the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation's) constitutional rights,'' the judge said. ``Thus though the duty to consult is the Crown's, proponents have an interest in facilitating the consultation process. In this case, Hayes refused that role. It was entitled to do this, but one consequence of its decision is further delay to complete adequate consultations.''

The court also ordered the ministry and T & P Hayes to cover the First Nation's legal costs, which amounted to $80,000.

200th anniversary of treaty that formed Winnipeg The Canadian Press WINNIPEG — A treaty regarded by some as the founding document of Winnipeg is about to mark a milestone anniversary.

The 1817 Peguis-Selkirk Treaty was signed 200 years ago this Tuesday.

The treaty established the Red River Settlement

in the valley of the river by the same name.

It was signed after an agreement was reached between Salteaux Chief Peguis and Thomas Douglas, the 5th Earl of Selkirk.

Members of the Manitoba Living History Society marked the anniversary on Sunday by dressing in the appropriate attire and re-creating the event at Seven Oaks

House Museum.

The treaty also established the initial relationship between First Nations and the Crown in Western Canada, despite it being signed well before Confederation in 1867. ``Chief Peguis came from the Great Lakes area and settled in Netley Creek, the Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812, and

both had difficulties with seasons, with planting crops and with basically existing,'' said Marie Zorniak of the Manitoba Living History Society. ``They each shared their resources with each other and their knowledge, so it was an agreement set up to establish a community.''

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says Canada's premiers respect the three Indigenous groups that backed out of a meeting in Edmonton and are committed to working with them around a common table.

Notley says no work can be done towards a better Canada unless the priorities of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people are addressed.

New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant says it's unfortunate that the process of how best to meet has taken away from a focus on improving the lives of aboriginal

people.

Three of five Indigenous groups boycotted the meeting with the premiers today, including the Assembly of First Nations.

Grand Chief Perry Bellegarde said at a news conference in Toronto that Indigenous Peoples are not just another special interest group and won't stand to be relegated to the sidelines.

The Native Women's Association of Canada and the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples did show up for the meeting and said it was valuable for the connections they were able to make.

Hamilton Homeless from page 15 workers, and community members with the capacity to establish a homeless-ness-serving sector alongside that of the mainstream, to address its own social determinants and its own health outcomes. The community can manage its own homelessness issue, and will be able to produce stronger outcomes than a broad, singular approach at the municipal level. Indige-nous people want to be served by Indigenous people, where they know they will be listened to, respected, and serviced in a way that recognizes their unique needs and challenges as they work to reconnect with their culture and community. The role of the mainstream is to learn from Indig-enous people about what they need, not to tell them. They need to acknowledge that they do not have the capacity to

fully understand the Indigenous worldview, and likewise that Indigenous people have no special obligation to be coherent to Canadians. Ultimately, that is what it will take to solve Indigenous homelessness.

Arrows start on the right foot

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — The Jr. A Arrows opened their first round playoff series against the Toronto Beaches at the ILA, Sunday evening with a 15-6 win.

Twenty-eight seconds into the game, the Beaches held a 1-0 lead but at 1:08, Cory Highfield tied it from Staats and Travis Longboat. With Tyson Bomberry serving time for slashing, Toronto’s Aaron Foster took advantage of the extra man to take the lead again at 1:52.

Staats made Toronto pay for its first penalty of game as well. Nick Ellerton was sent to the penalty box at 4:55 for slashing and at 6:47, Staats scored his first of the night on a Six Nations powerplay.

Cory Highfield followed at 8:13, and Tehoka Nanticoke added another to take a 5-2 lead but late in the frame, Toronto popped in two to end the first period with the Arrows up 5-4.

The Arrows kept the pressure on in the second as Travis Longboat, Staats, and Longboat cashed in for an 8-4 Six Nations lead with 20 minutes of play left.

Toronto folded its tent in the third period as the Arrows filled the Beaches net with goals scored

by Staats, his third of the game, scored unassisted at 35 seconds. Cory Highfield scored shorthanded

The series moves to “the big smoke” Tuesday, July 18th in a game that will miss our deadline.

Game three is back at the ILA Thursday, July 20th, before returning to the Ted Reeve Arena for Game 4. If necessary, Game 5 will be back at

In other Jr. A playoff action, Brampton leads its series against the KW Braves, 1-0; Mimico is up 1-0 against the Orangeville Jr. A Northmen and Whitby leads the Burlington Chiefs 1-0.

SIX NATIONS — It’s been a long season but a relatively easy one, judging by the Rebels 19-1 regular season record and after sweeping both the Caledon Bandits and the Hamilton Bengals in straight games.

But from this point on, the real heavy lifting begins. The Western Finals against the Rebels’ bitter rivals, the Orangeville Northmen, starts Saturday, July 22nd at 3 in the afternoon, at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Game no.2 will be at the Alder Street arena in Orangeville Tuesday, July 25th, for an 8 o’clock start. Game no.3 is back at the ILA, Friday, July 28th at 8 pm. If necessary, Game no.4 is set for Sunday, July 30th, in Orangeville for a 7 pm start.

If the best-of-five series goes the distance,

Game no.5 will be played at the ILA, Monday July 31st at 8 pm.

Last Friday night, the Rebels ended the season for the Hamilton Bengals with a 14-10, Game no.3 win at the ILA. After all those total blow outs this season, Game no.3 was a nail-biter, not so much for the Rebels as for the Bengals who faced elimination and stood up to the beast until the very end.

Hamilton took a 3-0 lead right off the hop with Dawson Brown, Tanner Brenneke and Greg Morrisette ringing them up for Hamilton. Just when the Bengals started to believe in themselves Layne Smith, Garret VyseSquare and Riley Miller took the steam out Hamilton‘s boiler at 17:50, 18:44 and 19:13 respectively.

Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs in first place

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS — Past and present Six Nations Chiefs were invited to Saturday’s Major Series game between the Oakville Rock and the Pro-Fit Chiefs for an Alumni Game to celebrate the team’s 25th anniversary as a franchise.

After the game, which the Chiefs won 11-8, there was an invitation-only gathering of past and present Chiefs at MontHill Golf course.

The Chiefs also used the game to congratulate and send well-wishes to the dozens of Six Nations athletes about to begin their competitions at the North American Indigenous Games. The Chiefs joined the athletes before the game, posing for pictures.

Ironically, with all the former NLL talent and Major Series stars in the building, it was a Jr. B call up that made the biggest impact in the Chiefs win. Layne Smith scored a hat trick and one assist in a 12-10 win over the Oakville Rock.

In his debut game against the Brooklin Redmen last week, Smith scored a goal and came close several times.

Pro-Fit Chiefs president Duane Jacobs is very happy with the young talent coming his way in the future. "We've been without a full lineup for most of the season and it's great to see the young talent from our affiliates," he said. "We all get excited for these young guys when they come in and show their talents."

Tuesday, July 18th, the Chiefs host Cobourg at 8 pm, at the ILA. On Sunday July 23rd, the Kodiaks return the hospitality, hosting the Chiefs in an 8 pm start.

Brantford wins battle of the Warriors

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD — The remarkable season for the Six Nations Warriors came to a crashing end Saturday night at the Wayne Gretzky Arena in Brantford when the Brantford Warriors won the battle of the Warriors in the Jr. C lacrosse semi-finals three games to one.

The Warriors became the first Six Nations OLA team to feel the agony of defeat in the playoffs.

Six Nations dropped games no.1, 11-10, and no.2, 11-9 before eking out a 10-7 win in Caledonia to temporarily stave off elimination.

That set up for what should have been another Six Nations comeback from a slow start, but Brantford was determined not to let Six Nations off the hook for game no.4 of the best of five series.

Facing elimination, the Six Nations Warriors uncharacteristically choked.

Brantford on the other hand was ready to move on to the divisional finals against the Fergus Thistles who defeated the Wilmott Wild in three straight games.

Jayden Drage and Austin Giles put Six Nations in a hole right off the start, but Six Nations’ Ryan Johnson would have none of that, scoring the next two goals to even the score at 2-2. Ty Argent and Caleb Wells completed the scoring in the first period.

Six Nations could not get anything by Lucas Nagy until Marshall Powless connected on a powerplay at 17:09. Meanwhile, Brantford was adding to its lead with goals by Jordan Ackie and Jacob Parkinson.

Leading 6-3, heading into the third period, Brantford could smell victory while Six Nations came unraveled, drawing nine penalties to Brantford’s three.

“I thought this team did phenomenally given the fact that only four of this year’s Warriors are over 18 years of age,” said coach Jay Smith. “The rest were straight out of Midget. I’m sure we were the youngest team in the league. I

wouldn’t call it a lack of talent or lack of effort or anything like that. I’d call it lack of experience.”

Smith felt that maybe the young players were just not ready for the pressure of Jr. lacrosse playoffs.

But he says that his young Warriors will have the missing element this year – experience, and you can’t practice that.

Hunter Angus and Isaac Solazzo moved the score to 6-2 early in the frame but Six Nations got one back, scored by Austin Giles. Six Nations scored two goals 29 seconds apart by Jordan Myke and Jaxon Martin, but it would be too little and too late to save the

season for the Six Nations Warriors dropping Game no.5, 9-6. Jackson Miller suffered the loss in the Six Nations goal while Nagy earned the win for Brantford.

All-in-all rookie coach Jay Smith did a fine job mustering the team for a very successful 14-2 season, but it all ended abruptly, leaving Six Nations by the roadside.

In the other divisional semi-final series, the Clariton Shamrox swept the Whitby Warriors in three and will play for the divisional title against Peterborough who eliminated the Cornwall Celtics.

Rebels continued The lead swapped hands throughout the second period with neither team allowing the other any more than a two-goal rally before having one of their own. Smith, Gavin Skye, Riley Montour and Smith’s third goal of the contest were interspaced between Hamilton goal scorers Trevor Barrett, Dawson Brown, Sam English with two, and Luke Robinson to end the second period with fans from both teams getting more anxious by the moment.

Rickey Smith scored from Josh Miller at 5:15, and Wes Whitlow and Kahn General, scored 26 seconds apart to reverse the fortunes putting Rebels fans back on their feet.

The lead would not stand long as Hamilton answered at 7:22 and again at 12:55. And it was 10-9 for the Bengals.

Layne Smith took the bull by the horns, scoring his fourth of the night from Gates Abrams at 13:20 to even the score at 10-10. Following close behind were Whitlow, Riley Miller, Kahn General topped with Layne Smith’s fifth goal into an empty net for the 14-10 final score.

“They have a lot of young talent over there, and as we saw tonight, they don’t give up,” said Smith of his worthy opponents after the game.

“They weren’t going to roll over and give us anything tonight we didn’t have to work for.”

He was also looking forward to the next step towards redemption with the Founders Cup returning to Six Nations.

The Rebels owned the Cup between 2011 and 2014 with an unprecedented four cups in a row.

Then, in 2015, the bottom fell out and they lost the Cup to the Akwesasne Indians. Last year, it was these same Orangeville Northmen that foiled the Rebels attempted recapture of the crown in 2016.

This year’s Rebels under coach Miles General is showing a dogged determination along with its always dangerous power that makes the Six Nations Rebels favorites to get that Cup back.

U19's Take Home Victory

By Chezney Martin

SIX NATIONS – The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena hosted yet another piece of lacrosse history, as the Girls U19 Box Lacrosse Team Ontario defeated Team British Columbia in a nail-biting, edge-ofyour-seat contest 8-7 on Monday, July 17.

The game was the very first game for girls box lacrosse in North American Indigenous Games history, and both teams looked well prepared.

The first period opened up with both teams seeming to feel each other out, as transition played a big part on both sides. But, it became evident that the defensive style of Team O. wouldn't allow Team B.C., to cut through the middle without getting pummelled.

He leaves behind his loving spouse Violet Shawanda, his children Darryl & Sandra Styres, Darren Styres, Derek & Sandy Styres, Stephanie & Daniel Styres-Dery, Marcia & Avalon Trimm, David Styres and Roselyn Styres. He was a grandfather and great grandfather to Jordan, Matt, Mike, James, Nicole, Bradley, Ashley, Brandon, Caleb, Hilary, Zack, Jacob, Emily, Brayden, Sian and Lucien. It is with tremendous sorrow that we declare “A CALL TO ACTION” on the failing health care system. We encourage all families to be advocates for their loved ones. Dr. Rasha Zohoor stated “The health care system is overextended and is in need of a restructuring and strategic alignment that fosters a system that is purposeful to “promote leadership, governance and quality of care at Brant Community Healthcare System (which includes Brantford General Hospital). The place is toxic and the safety and welfare of patients and staff is in dire straits.” Our father, a victim of this “broken system” will be laid to rest on Tuesday, July 18,2017. We will miss him dearly! Friends will be received at the BECKETT-GLAVES FAMILY FUNERAL CENTRE, 88 Brant Avenue on Monday, July 17,2017 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the BECKETT-GLAVES FAMILY FUNERAL CENTRE CHAPEL on Tuesday, July 18 at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Six Nations Pentecostal Church, 1527 Fourth Line, Ohsweken. A LIFE Celebration Dinner will be held after the interment at Six Nations Polytechnic, 2160 4th Line, Ohsweken.

Condolences and live funeral web-casting will be available at www.beckettglaves.com.

A tree will be planted in memory of Morley in the Beckett-Glaves Memorial Forest.

Best Wishes for the 2017 Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow!

Thank You The children and grandchildren of the Late Brenda (Wendy) Whitlow would like to thank family and friends that visited during her illness, and extend our gratitude for all the prayers, love and support that brought much comfort to us all.

We extend our heart-felt appreciation to family, friends, the Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church and so many others for all their love, support and generosity. The beautiful songs sung by Robin and Bits of Bluegrass and the eulogy from Candace were a wonderful tribute to our Mom and Momma.

Thank you to the-pallbearers: grandsons Terry and Kaleb, great grandsons William and Braeden, nephews Dallas, Bobby, JR and Dwayne, brothers Ronnie and Terry, Daryl and Gary for being honorary pallbearers. Thank you to son-in-law, Past or Ken Hess for your prayers when needed and your kind words during the funeral service.

Thank you to Bill Lofthouse and RHB Anderson Funeral Homes for the guidance and support in accommodating the many beautiful tributes to Mom. It meant so much to her, and us, knowing we have such caring and kind friends and loved ones.

We will miss her, but we all have the memories she left with us. From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU ALL so very much.

God Bless Kathy, Rod and Rhonda

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, allow your plans for self-improvement to take center stage, especially true if you have put them on the shelf for some time. Make yourself a priority.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t tend to be reckless, but even you can surprise others sometimes with your behavior. Let the tongues wag if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take others’ candor with a grain of salt.

They might just be blowing off steam and they will appreciate having someone there who listens.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you sometimes have a sarcastic sense of humor that makes you loved by some and disliked by others. Explain to the latter group that you mean no harm.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re very good at balancing the elements of your life. This week may be especially challenging as many things come your way in rapid succession.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, others may seem sure about their actions even if you feel lost. Don’t put too much stock in it, as everyone copes with selfdoubt from time to time.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Some of your beliefs are non-negotiable, Pisces. This can make for some rather heated conversations. But you’re up to the challenge.
