Mush Hole archaeology revealing much By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Work has begun after a community group of Residential School Survivors and their families successfully lobbied and received funding and approval for a five acre, quiet and culturally sensitive memorial park on the grounds of the former Mohawk Institute grounds. Although mandatory archaeological surveys are required in Ontario before a new area is opened for development, federally owned land does not require such a provision. And since federal Canada assumes ownership of reserve lands, a survey was not legally required before the preparations for the park were to begin. But Paula Whitlow, curator of the Woodland Cultural Museum, which is overseeing the work, insisted that it be done. She called President of the Ontario Archaeological Society Paul Racher to talk to him about doing the survey. Racher’s archaeological firm also did the survey on the downtown YMCA project.

Each little red flag indicates where an artifact was unearthed at the Mohawk Institute front lawn in the Phase 2 test holes. Of 500 test holes dug, there have been 437 finds. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE “His company was kind enough to choose us as a community project,” says Whitlow. “He put a call out for volunteers to work on weekends and had no trouble finding a crew. The work began about four weeks ago. According to Whitlow, if the same intensity of an archaeological survey were done across the street, an Archaeological Survey would have to be done before any plans were made for any area of development. It would also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. “I requested that a survey be done, because I think it’s important that
the archaeological record be made,” says Whitlow. “This will be the first former residential school to ever undergo an archaeological survey,” she says. “In the end, we hope to have surveyed the full 10-acres of the institute land with an archaeological master plan. We are going to be able to identify out buildings and anything else we might uncover that is relevant to the site, which can help us in any possible future development. We will know where the sensitive parts are and aren’t.” Archaeological evidence of former times is popping up everywhere.

Of the 500 test holes dug about 10 meters apart on the front lawn of the institute, more than 437 of these holes have offered up some kind of artifact dated back as far as 1832, from the location of the old Mechanics School, the precursor to the Mohawk Institute. Brant’s Mohawk Village was there before that and there has also been evidence of much older occupations that go back hundreds if not thousands of years.

Deyohyogo says he has not been dehorned By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – There was fireworks at the Onondaga Longhouse last Saturday over the dehorning of 30year veteran Cayuga Hoyane (Chief) Sam General. Although there have been two other attempts to remove his symbolic horns of office, on Saturday he was directly asked to leave the chiefs bench before proceedings could begin. General has been an outspoken critic of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute's legal advisor, Aaron Detlor, which
has put him in conflict with many of the HDI supporting Chiefs. “The whole thing started when I told Aaron Detlor to leave,” he says. “That’s when they started coming after me. I question too much and they don’t like that.” The meeting was delayed while waiting for Mohawk Chief Allan MacNaughton to arrive. When he did, the Onondaga Fire Keepers opened the meeting and the discussions began. CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

Two Great Laws
EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW Back in 2012 the late Jagwadeth (Chris) Sandy wanted to bring the Great Law of Peace (Kaianerekowa) to Ohsweken. He has since passed on but his inspirational legacy of restoration remains. Jagwadeth invited me and others to attend Grand River Chiefs Council with him as he was on the agenda and would be asking permission from the Chiefs to host the event. So even though I was a nobody I went along with him and I can still remember it was so shocking to hear his request get denied. As a newcomer to my own identity I could not grasp how or why the Confederacy would ban a reading of its own constitution. To my basic understanding it seemed like the Catholic Church banning its own bible – kind'a weird right? But it happened. That day, Chief Pete Skye stood up and spoke in the language for a very long time and explained that the Law was read every year at longhouse ceremonies. It was very intimidating when he pointed towards the Mohawk bench and stated, "You don't know the Great Law unless you first know the Code." The code he spoke of is apparently the Code of Handsome Lake which is a culturally-based religion of the Haudenosaunee which made its way to Grand River Territory in the 1850's according to Chief Jake Thomas' Book "Teachings from the Longhouse." So even though he met resistence even from his own government Jagwadeth continued to put on the Great Law reading of 2012 with help of the Elected Council and knowledge keepers from other territories. Lots of people went and I went too. The things that were presented at the Original Great Law reading of 2012 were very political and
organizational, not cermonial or religious. The roles and responsibilities of different people were explained. The process of council was outlined. The ten day presentation was very logical and seemed like a overview of the checks and balances to keep a clan society working. It was beautiful. These wise teachers showed us how unity and diversity was theoretically achieved in olden times. Many years before in the 1990s Chief Jake Thomas himself used to do readings of the Law for the people of Six Nations who did not attend longhouse. I can remember one that happened at Number 3 school. People say that Jake would differentiate between Code of Handsome Lake and the original Great Law of Peace – something which in recent years is being packaged togther as one identical thing. Who has the understanding to sort out what teachings are from the pre-colonization era and which ones are newer? Even the most knowledgable people among us cannot seem to agree. Leroy "Jock" Hill said that he is familiar with eight different versions of the Great Law of Peace. As someone who has been paying attention for the last 10 years the most recent iteration of the Great Law is being condensed into a nice story of the Peacemakers Journey. At the most recent Great Law reading at Ohsweken I didn't hear them explain why all three Mohawk clans must be represented for Confederacy to be a legitimate council. Instead I heard this familiar tale: A young man, born of a virgin, crosses a great water, befriends a woman, gets a bunch of male followers who reform their society by travelling around the country side, overcoming an evil man and declaring the good news of peace. Hmmm.
Free media almost trumped SIX NATIONS — As a visitor to your territory, I believe it would be remiss of me to let a conversation between myself and two Clan Mothers go without saying something about it. Inside the longhouse, Cayuga Hoyane (Chief) of 30 years Sam General was spoken to and removed from his seat before the regular schedule of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) monthly meeting began. This process took some time, and restraint, from each side on the matter. Leroy “Jock” Hill spoke for the “Younger Brothers” sitting Chiefs, with their permission, which begs the question why. General spoke for himself defending his stance that no one outside of his family and clan had the right to remove him. The circumstances of his removal are discussed in a separate article. Eventually, General left. Parts of the exchange seemed amicable, and some parts seemed like arguing. A lot of it was spoken in the Cayuga language. Since I do not speak the language, I wanted to hear from General what happened from his perspective, so I followed for an interview. I was asked by two Clan Mothers on the front veranda of the longhouse not to report anything that happened inside. I asked the obvious question, “Why?” The answer was, in essence, that they did not want their dirty laundry aired in public. At this point, my journal-
History shows that suppression of the media only works for a little while before the people start wondering why. istic integrity radar licked in and I realized that I was being asked to suppress the truth of what happened moments earlier inside. My answer was, that I could not comply with that request and that I fully intend to write it after speaking with General and with Jock Hill. I attempted to call Jock on Tuesday when I wrote this article but could not get an answer at the number I had on file for him. I went to my trusty old rolodex and found the Haudenosaunee Resources Centre number but was out of service. Obviously they had changed the number. Since I did make notes at the Longhouse when Jock spoke in English, and since the ladies told me that Jock explained it well inside, I decided to use my notes instead. I invite him to respond if he wishes. It was at this time that one of the Clan Mothers told the other; “He’s not listening. He’s about as thick headed as he is,” pointing to General who was walking towards his car. Witnessing the conversation was Cayuga Chief Blake Bomberry and resident Wes Elliott. After the ladies went back inside, I asked Chief Bomberry if that meant I

could not go back inside. He stopped short of saying that I could not, but made it clear that he also did not want the details of this story to be published because it might look bad on the HCCC. The intention and mandate given to the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) and HCCC’s media liaison, Lynda Powless, wasn’t clear, it was made evident Saturday morning, and their official media person wasn’t even there to report on it. The job of media director — or liaison, or advisor — was capsulized by those she works for and is paid by. That is, not to publish anything that might make the HDI or Confederacy itself look bad. Anything else is “fake news”, so to speak. I do understand that not all news stories are feel-good moments. There was dancing in the streets in the USA and in Canada when the Germans capitulated. But there was heartbreak and sorrow in Berlin. A news story is what it is, so long as it is truthful. The same story that makes one person mad, makes another smile. News is like that. History shows that suppression of the media only works for a little while before the people start wondering why.

Wind Storm LOCAL COLUMN:
By Quin Staats Insurance companies say they won’t cover “acts of God”. We’re all familiar with such encounters, but can one truly argue it’s the work of the Great Spirit? I believe that encounters with Nature are from the spirit of Mother Nature herself. Nature speaks constantly. Sometimes, She speaks so quietly that her voice gets lost. While caught up in material problems and worries, messages from our original Mother literally float over our heads unnoticed; like a bird or butterfly. Today’s message from ‘Mom’ wasn’t so subtle. It was an insanely gusty day. A wind, unlike any I'd felt before, pressing like a rolling river against my entirety, was more alive than any wind I'd ever met. Though humbled, the interaction left me feeling powerful; like a bird. I was alive, limitless, connected and free! Yet this playful powerhouse screamed timidly beneath its roar. A message for me, everyone and anything listening.
Later, they said the winds were comparable to those in hurricanes. A shy morning whisper that instantly evolved into a whirling-chameleon lecture. A wind of sudden change: a rebel of predictability: a fearless, unstoppable force. A drift of energy that embraces all things in lightening speed. A wind that, you swear, lifts you airborne for a split second when you step towards it — that gives you wings to ride it if you just surrender. MN is but powerless to the ‘Law of Momism’: repeatedly tolerating ignorance. Moms let it slide and slide ... until it's finally time for words. Nagging infinitely, without doubt she magically makes successful contact, impervious to caller ID, or straight-up hiding. Always with our best interests in mind, and always knowing when we need her most. As well as everything else like a creepy telepathic wizard (seriously, how do they know EVERYTHING?). While I played with the wind, my literal mother visited the family farm. The farm is the stron-
gest connection my family has had to the land, and our ancestors, for generations — guardian angel central. There, the tempered gusts tumbled through the forest surrounding the homes, shaking even the sturdiest trees. My mother parked her car to visit her sister. Moments after entering the house, like a crusty blade of scorched grass under a giant farm boot, the wind snapped a massive, healthy pine, 20 feet away, on top of my Mother’s car. A total weird-or-what incident ... with luckily no injury or serious damage. The only victim was the bumper of a car (which wouldn't you guess, was covered under warranty). Couldn't have been a better disaster, considering. Yet persistently ... a humbleness crawled deep through the tissues of my spirit, sending electricity from my braids to my stinky Mohawk feet. What was MN’s message? A message of material vs. Mother? All mothers — the mothers in my life; Mother Earth; Grandmother Moon? Per-
haps, that we must better nurture these Mothers, to learn from them and understand their forces of wisdom and love. Was it a reminder of womanly force and our duties to the feminine spirit? Maybe, a simple sign that change is coming. Or that a change is in desperate need. All I know for sure, is there’s no way it meant nothing. When I feel the purity of Earth’s energy ooze through my feet up my body, I know I’m of that same magic, creation and cryptic language. When the wind embraces me, it’s more than a breeze; it's an interaction. Energies interact. When I radiate negativity MN feels it. If I'm unbalanced, she feels that too, and never fails to act. She's a living being and mother; of course she’d respond. I hear you, MN. Whether I needed to reflect on the whole lesson or a specific footnote, I know now what I need to do. P.S. Nya:weh for protecting my Mother (and her precious Wrangler).

Sweetness and sensitivity SPAWN as Coast Salish play debuts in Toronto theatre By Allana McDougall While debate swirls in the news about the rights of indigenous children and forced sterilization, it is important to take back stories and tell them in a way that reflects perseverance. Enter SPAWN, a reimagining of a traditional story written by Coast Salish playwright Cheyenne Scott, happening this week at the Factory Theatre in Toronto where Six Nations producer Ashley Bomberry is working as stage manager. SPAWN has been lauded in reviews for its sweetness and sensitivity but the story runs deeper than the affability its actors: Samantha Brown and Dillan Meighan-Chiblow (playing newly expecting parents Theresa and Mikey), Herbie Barnes (businessman, Travis) and Cathy Elliott (grandmother, chief). “I needed a catalyst to look forward to the next generation,” says Scott about the cycle of life, “there’s no going back but you can achieve again by going forward … a new baby is something that can propel each family member to come back together again.” SPAWN places a modern family drama in relationship with the Pacific Ocean, an entity greater than any one of its characters, and yet inseparable from each of them. In the same moment when her parents
SPAWN takes place at the Factory Theatre in Toronto on Friday Aug 11th from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., Saturday Aug 12th 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday Aug 13th 3:45 p.m.-4:45 p.m. PHOTO BY ASHLEY BOMBERRY
are drawing from the Pacific for sustenance, Theresa’s mother is lost at sea, an event that divides her family and sends her father away from traditional harvesting and into business. Growing up in the confusing wake of her family’s sometimes paralyzing grief, Theresa prides herself on her independence and cannot be sure that her relationships — to the people around her, and to the water of life, can situate her in a place of power. It is at this time that the Coast Salish story of the Salmon Spirit interrupts her body with beautiful reminders that our struggles inevitably propel and strengthen us in journey toward the future.
“It’s not distinctly male and female, everybody has a role to play. In the centre there’s the children. Around them, the elders hold hands, the women hold hands, and around them, the men hold hands … how do we mend these circles again?” Scott asks. SPAWN is a story about the strength we don’t always know we are developing, and the generations feeding from the power of our pasts awaiting upstream, whether we know we are swimming toward them or not.

For weeks, the commission has faced questions from concerned family members who say they have lost faith in the process, which is expected to take at least two years and cost $53.8 million. In an open letter released today, additional
family members called on the commission to start over from scratch, citing the resignation last month of one of the commissioners, Marilyn Poitras. The commissioners say they are moving ahead with their work and receiving feedback from families, including through a national advisory circle.

HAMILTON – Seventy indigenous groups, most of Canada’s main indigenous groups, are represented in the Quilt of Belonging, a textile art project made up of 263 blocks representing every nation that makes up Canada. Each group was invited to produce a piece of fibre art, using the textiles, techniques and symbols that represent their cultural beauty. The quilt is Canada’s largest, most comprehensive art project, including the work of cultural groups from Victoria B.C. to Newfoundland to the Arctic, and is on displayed for free at the Cotton Factory gallery in Hamilton Ont. until August 16. The quilt is approximately 120 feet long, and 10 feet high. Centred at the top of the quilt, is an unfinished block with the Maple Leaf represented. “Some people are upset that the Canadian block is unfinished,” said one of the guides at the venue. “But myself and others have come to appreciate the fact that the unfinished block implies that Canada has not finished growing yet.” Styles and materials used for each block vary widely, from gold embroidered silk to tapa cloth, from miniature carpets to bobbin lace, from beaded hides to oshie, each block finds a place of it’s own in the overall finished project. The quilt has been touring since 2005, yet this is the first time it has been on display in Hamilton. The project was initiated and directed by artist Esther Bryan of Williamstown, Ont. It took roughly 6 and a half years and more than 46,000 volunteer hours to make. Work began on the project in 1998, and it was launched at the Canadian Museum of

RUMBLE: Unity All-Star Jam Session This autumn marks a commemorative moment in Niagara for Indigenous curated, multidisciplinary arts and historical musicology entertainment! Tim Johnson (Haudenosaunee, from Six Nations of the Grand River), co-curator of the RUMBLE: Unity All-Star Jam Session reminisces with us about the history and evolution of Rumble. The ’Rumble Unity Jam’ on Sept. 10th is indeed an incredible concert featuring a line-up of talented, award winning musicians! And yet, there are strong roots at play here, specifically when it comes to the word, or term: RUMBLE, a song originally Recorded by Link Wray (Shawnee, Native American) & His Ray Men in 1958. Tell us about that story beginning with the Smithsonian Institution exhibit, “Up Where We Belong: Native Musicians In Popular Culture," shaped and directed by yourself and Stevie Salas. “At the National Museum of the American Indian, I was already programming everything from blues, to concerts featuring classical music composers. I wanted to jazz things up a bit, which resulted in collaborating with Stevie (Salas). The exhibit grew identifying several core musicians who helped shape blues, jazz, rock, folk, heavy metal. It was showcased as a small offering at our Washington DC location, then to NY (Smithsonian), becoming extremely popular! We realized we had hit on a theme that resonated with many people.” Let’s talk about the award winning documentary, ‘Rumble, The Indians Who Rocked the World.’ How did the opportunity to dig into that amazing film project transpire?
Artifacts uncovered at the former Mohawk Institute represent hundreds if not thousands of years of continuous occupation by successive Native peoples. But most are from the early 1800s and into the 1940s and '50s.

“I’d have to say the spark happened when I had assigned one of my researchers spread out all of these other Indigenous musicians and said, ‘Hey, I think you guys are onto something!” That for me was the seminal moment. That’s when it got resourced. It became a refined idea where we had a moment wherein everything became rooted. We couldn’t let it disappear. We needed to move this out to a larger audience as a documentary: a medium where people could hear the music seamlessly. The film is more than a rock doc, the lesson being: you don’t have to create a new Aboriginal Music Genre, it’s already baked into those contributions and the historical landscape of musicology to present day. Mildred Bailey was the first woman of jazz, for example, and numerous artists who followed her patterned their vocal style after her. Link Wray truly advanced Rock ‘n’ Roll to the next level with the power chord and distortion. You don’t have it unless you have Link Wray.” You’re extending the ticketed PAC show on Sept. 10th with a FREE workshop of the on August 19th in Niagara Falls. Tell me about how you curated both shows as collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous musicians and arts professionals. “When I took an interest in advancing contemporary Indigenous music it was on that ultimate level: LIVE performance. It turns out we had to go back in history to understand the foundations of Indigenous artistic contributions to music and showcasing it via Live Performance. The Jam Session is to tell the story while interviewing Indigenous musicians which means we’re not locked into collaborating with only Indigenous musicians. But they have to be committed to showcasing Indigenous music and history and culture. There is this distinguishing characteristic in the Native music circle: giving back to community, being responsible to our communities, and motivating and inspiring our communities. This is the example we set. As for the free workshop of the show at The Falls, expect some surprises, not all of the artists will be the same as the ones on the bill for the PAC show in Sept.! The commonality is that the musicians will aim to identify both the artists and the songs that bring us deeper into mix of important stories by performing covers and original bringing the audience deeper into those stories.” In our current era of reconciliation this and reconciliation that, what do you think of the phrase, reconciliACTION … and does it tie into your own personal/professional direction as a visionary and who you collaborate with? “Celebrations of Nations came from looking at our own Nations and wanting to develop a program that not only entertains but educates and enlightens people about the Indigenous experience in Canada. I’ve been involved in these types of collaborations and partnership heritage projects for years. When the Landscape of Nations Commemorative Memorial project began; it was an, ‘us and them’ sort of thing. By the time we were done, we all shared the same values and had the same goals and aspirations for the project. It took SEVEN YEARS and somewhere along the way we unified. Everything I do is related to history, culture and art.”

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway) Interchanges from Maltby Road Northerly to the Speed River (G.W.P. 14-00-00) Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is moving forward with a Preliminary Design Review and Detailed Design under the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway) interchanges from Maltby Road northerly to the Speed River in the City of Guelph and Guelph/Eramosa Township, in Wellington County. BACKGROUND A PlanningPMS and Preliminary Black C Design Study was completed in June 2009, which documented improvements to the Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway) corridor from south of Maltby Road to the Speed River (G.W.P. 3002-05-00). The recommended plan from this study was documented in a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) and was approved on November 17, 2009.
PMS 186
Recommendations that were made as part of the 2009 TESR included a new interchange at Laird Road which was constructed in 2011. The remaining recommendations from the 2009 TESR are the subject of this study. The approved Preliminary Design includes: • Upgrading Highway 6 within the study limits to a controlled access freeway; • Replacement of the intersection at Kortright Road / Downey Road with a partial interchange (Highway 6 access to and from the south only); • Replacement of the intersection at Stone Road with a full interchange; • Replacement of the intersection at College Avenue with a bridge at Highway 6 (no connection to the highway); • A new municipal service road west of Highway 6 between Woodland Glen Drive and the new interchange at Stone Road; • Closure of Hanlon Road south of Flanders Road; and, • Pavement rehabilitation, illumination improvements, stormwater management, drainage improvements, and utility relocations. THE PROCESS This study is subject to the Ontario EA Act and will be completed in accordance with the MTO Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for a Group B project with the opportunity for public input. A review will be undertaken to determine if significant changes have occurred since the submission of the 2009 TESR. In the event that significant changes are identified, a TESR Addendum will be made available for a 30-day public and agency review period. The Detailed Design phase will be documented in Design and Construction Report(s) (DCRs) that will be made available for public and agency review. The DCR(s) will document the study process, Detailed Design and associated environmental impacts, mitigation measures, and a summary of consultation undertaken. CONSULTATION AND COMMENTS Consultation and engagement will take place throughout the study with the public, Indigenous peoples, regulatory agencies and municipalities. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to provide an opportunity to discuss the study with members of the Project Team. Notifications advising of the time and location of the PIC, and of the availability of the TESR Addendum (if required) and DCR(s) will be published in local newspapers, posted on the project website, and mailed to those on the project mailing list.

Study: lack of support in Canadian businesses OTTAWA — A new report says less than one-third of Canadian DESIGNbusinesses FILE 1A are working with indigenous communities on reconciliation. The study looked at 173 businesses listed on the Toronto stock exchange. Researchers shared most companies having involvement with indigenous people shared accounts of strong employees or special investments they’ve made with communities but nothing at the levels ethical investors are looking for. Just five per cent of companies reported an indigenous presence in senior or management roles. Out of all companies surveyed, only one financial company, one energy company and three mining companies had processes committed to indigenous communities right to free, prior and informed consent on new projects.

Health Region issues apology SASKATOON — Saskatoon’s Health Region put out an official apology to indigenous women who said they were forced into tubal ligation surgery. Health Region Vice President Jackie Mann made the apology saying she was sorry indigenous patients weren’t treated with the compassion and support they deserved. The women came forward with their stories in 2015 — saying after giving birth in the hospital, Sasktatoons medical staff and social workers pressured them into surgical reproductive sterilization.

Tribes want pipeline shut, but offer fallback plan By Blake Nicholson (AP) BISMARCK, N.D. — American Indian tribes fighting the Dakota Access oil pipeline are asking a judge to shut down the line while more environmental review is conducted, but they've also presented a fallback plan should the judge disagree. The ``alternative relief'' that Standing Rock Sioux attorney Jan Hasselmen ``reluctantly'' proposed in court documents filed Monday includes increased public reporting of pipeline issues such as repairs, and implementation of a spill response plan — including equipment staging — at the Lake Oahe reservoir on the Missouri River, from which the tribe draws its water. ``Neither the Corps (of Engineers) nor DAPL has ever communicated with the tribes about spill response planning,'' Hasselman wrote. The $3.8 billion pipeline built by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners began moving oil from western North Dakota to a distribution point in Illinois on June 1, after President Donald Trump earlier this year pushed through its completion. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg later in June ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers large-
ly complied with environmental law when permitting the pipeline but didn't adequately consider how an oil spill under Lake Oahe might affect the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. He ordered the Corps to reconsider certain areas of its environmental analysis and is deciding whether to shut down the 1,200-mile pipeline through the Dakotas, Iowa and Illinois while the work is done. The Corps and ETP have advocated for keeping the pipeline operating. The company maintains a shutdown would cost it $90 million each month and also impact the energy industry, consumers and government tax revenue. The Corps says the agency expects to be able to substantiate its earlier determination that the pipeline poses no significant environmental threats. Hasselman said ``such an approach would make a mockery'' of the federal environmental review process. ``Both the Corps and (ETP) have made it abundantly clear that they will treat the remand as a paper exercise designed to generate additional explanation for decisions already made,'' he wrote. Boasberg's ruling is not expected until September at the earliest.
Federal government changes funding equations for reserves REGINA — The federal government announced changes to the way First Nations reserves carry their funding. AFN Chief Perry Bellegard and Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn
Bennett shared the news with journalists Tuesday that band council funding will now be able to roll over from year to year instead of having to return funds from projects not completed in the fiscal
year. The previous system was over 20 years old. Bellegarde said that system was outdated and didn’t match the needs of First Nations communities in 2017.
Ottawa also said they will work with First Nations communities to make a new approach to funding fire and emergency services, schools, water and waste treatment systems.

A century after deaths, residential school victims return home By Mark Scolforo (AP) CARLISLE, Pa. — Three Native American children named Little Plume, Horse and Little Chief died about 135 years ago while attending a government-run school in Pennsylvania. On Monday, a team of experts made final preparations to exhume their bodies and take them home. The process was expected to begin early Tuesday at the prim post cemetery on the grounds of the Carlisle Barracks, which today houses the U.S. Army War College. Little Plume, Horse and Little Chief, also known as Hayes Vanderbilt Friday, Horace Washington and Dickens Nor, died in Carlisle in 1882-83 at the ages of 10, 14 and 15. Seventeen members of the Northern Arapaho tribe, which in January 2016 formally requested the bodies be returned, arrived in Carlisle on Sunday to take part in what is expected to be a weeklong process. Their delegation includes tribal elders and young people. The tribe had ``certain requests they shared with us'' and those will be carried out before and after the disinterments, said Art Smith, chief of Army National Military Cemeteries. ``Our goal is to interact with the tribes, treat the families with dignity and respect, in the most honourable way possible,'' Smith said. The federal government
is paying the estimated $500,000 cost to dig up, process and return the three to Fremont County, Wyoming, which encompasses most of the vast Wind River Reservation. Experts will exhume the bodies by shovel and trowel — no machinery will be involved —after which the soil will be sifted to separate any human remains as well as buttons, jewelry, clothing, coffin material and other objects related to the three. All of it, including the 1920s-era coffins, will be handed over to the families. The 240-pound (109-kilogram) stone grave markers are considered government property, so they will be analyzed, archived and disposed of properly. Forensic anthropologist Elizabeth DiGangi will check the bones to see if they are consistent with the ages and sex of the three children. DNA tests are not planned. ``Every single skeleton I look at is the remains of a human being, and that's a human being who was loved by somebody else,'' DiGangi told reporters during a preview of the project organized by the Army. A tent has been designated for ceremonial uses by Northern Arapaho tribe members, and another will be the scene of the handover of the remains for transportation to Wyoming. The Carlisle Sentinel reported last month that
records assembled by Dickinson College show all three arrived at the school on March 11, 1881, and all had both parents listed as living. School ID cards offer scant biographical detail. Little Plume's father was a butcher named Bill Friday. In the space for Horse's home address, it said: ``Washington (chief of police).'' Little Chief's father was Sharp Nose, referred to on the ID card as ``2nd chief.''
The government-run Carlisle Indian Industrial School, founded by an Army officer, took drastic steps to separate Native American students from their culture, including cutting their braids, dressing them in military-style uniforms and punishing them for speaking their native languages. They were forced to adopt European names. More than 10,000 Native American children were taught there and en-
Their graves are laid out with military precision, each marked by a marble gravestone customary in military cemeteries. Every grave has been freshly decorated. The Army is reaching out to all of the nearly 50 tribes whose children attended Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and officials expect more exhumations and returns to eventually follow.

Little Plume, Horse and Little Chief likely died of some sort of infectious disease, said the project's chief archaeologist, Sonny Trimble. They are among 181 Native Americans buried in the cemetery. They were first buried in a different cemetery nearby and were moved in 1927 to the current location.

Ahwahneechee: The people of Yosemite Valley By Jayson Koblun CALIFORNIA – Hiking fanatics for years have flocked to Yosemite National Park in Northern California to scale its mountains, see its views and camp underneath the stars. All because those who came before took care of it and kept it as free from urbanization as possible. The Ahwahneechee, the indigenous peoples of the area, discovered the famous Yosemite Valley long before European explorers did in the mid-1800s. The Ahwahneechee found the summer conditions and plentiful food sources of the valley favourable and settled in and amongst the peaks. Yosemite Valley is a glacial valley in Yosemite National Park in the western Sierra Nevada mountains. The valley is about 13 kilometres long and up to 1.6 kilometres deep, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome and El Capitan (the famous default desktop image on newer Mac OS operating systems), and densely forested with pines. The valley is drained by the Merced River and a multitude of streams and waterfalls including Tenaya, Illilouette, Yosemite and Bridalveil Creeks. Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in North America, and is a big attraction especially in the spring when the water flow is at its peak. The valley is renowned for its natural beauty, and is widely regarded as the centrepiece of Yosemite National Park, attracting visitors from around the world. Geological forces compressed and lifted the area, forming the mountain ranges. Glaciers and the accompanying ice fields then cut and

After the melt, the flowing waters would become the rivers, streams, and waterfalls that are now associated with Yosemite. The eventual melt of the glaciers gave way for the many bears, deer and other familiar Yosemite wildlife to move into the region. What's often left unmentioned when it comes to the grandeur of the United States of America’s national parks is that, for the parks to become the protected lands of public imagination, their prior inhabitants — like the Ahwahneechee people and the rural poor — had to be evicted. “It’s not something that gets talked about nearly as often as it should,” said
84 Langford Church Rd, Brantford, ON N3T 5L4 (519) 752-0607
a tour guide at the Yosemite National Park visitor centre’s indigenous museum last month. “Yosemite Valley became a national park around 1890, and later on, around 1960, the park wanted to extend its territory. But the Ahwahneechee still had a small, yet flourishing, community in the way.” To make room for the park extension, the park officials we not open to much compromise and discussion with the Ahwahneechee as to how they would receive the land. Years earlier, during the Gold Rush, there had been a lot of fighting and disagreeing with each side. “To get the land the park needed, they razed, or burned down the village,” said the park tour guide. “After burning down the village, the Ahwahneechee needed a place to go, so the park offered that the remaining Ahwahneechee could only remain in the park if they became employees of the park, or trained to become park rangers.” The tour guide said
that there are still workers or park rangers form the Ahwahneechee who witnessed the burning down of their village. But didn’t mention what happened to those few Ahwahneechee that didn’t want to leave, or become employees. Before the violent displacement, the Ahwahneechee lived in camps at the bottom of the valley, in huts known as o-chum. These small homes were built with pine for the framing and supports, using the wood in a teepee like structure with a diameter of about 12 feet. They hunted everything from deer and large game, to worms and small insects. The animals provided much more than just food. They provided skins for clothing, sinew for tying, and other purposes. The whole animal was used in some way, with little waste. Whatever meat that was not eaten right away was hung to dry and made into jerky for later consumption. The Ahwahneechee performed controlled
burns in the Yosemite Valley that controlled undergrowth and maintained the oak population. Acorns were a central staple to their diet. Black oak acorns provided almost 60 per cent of their diet. These acorns were taken out of a big stash and lain on a slab of rock in the sun to dry. Once they had dried, the acorns were ground up in small holes atop big granite slabs also called a mortar and pestle. Once they had been sufficiently ground down to a fine powder, the acorn “flour” was put into a shallow depression at the edge of the river. Today, the Ahwahneechee’s story is starting to be told and brought out of the dark, alongside many other indigenous cultures in Canada and around the world with similar stories. There is a museum Yosemite National Park today that celebrates the life and culture of the Ahwahneechee, and a small walkable tour that shows how and where they lived.

Iskwe puts on powerful performance at Woodland By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – As part of her 2017 Summer Tour, Singer and Songwriter Iskwe entered the stage at the Woodland Cultural Centre in the evening of Sunday, August 6 for her second visit to the Brantford location. Just the night before she performed alongside Logan Staats — but this evening her show was collaborated with Kaha:wi Dance Theatres International Artists as part of the Creation Lab 2017 to showcase a concert full of culture. “We're happy to have [Iskwe] here,” said Gyeho Thomas, artistic associate at the Woodland Cultural Centre. “The Woodland Cultural Centre was a stop on Iskwe's summer tour,” she said. “So we were just happy to have her come through, because she was here for Coffee House back in March and we were glad that she
wanted to come back for a visit.” Thomas went on to explain that the dancers involvement in the concert helped to share even more culture in the Creation Lab 2017. “[The Dancers] are exploring here at the Woodland Cultural Centre for the next two weeks, and they have artists all the way form Australia and New Zealand sharing their culture and sharing their stories with each other.” The dancers performances included a Maori Haka and added a spark to the sense of power that would soon enter the stage. Derived from her own experiences as a woman of Dene, Cree, Metis and Irish decent, Iskwe's powerful vocals filled the auditorium with mindful lyrics and sent chills in the crowd. She described her feelings of coming to the centre to perform as “really nice” and “refreshing”.
“I was saying to somebody else earlier that we've played a few smaller venues recently and it felt really nice to be back here and in a space where I feel like when I'm sharing the stories and I can actually explain the songs a little bit more and its more personal, and like a conversation that's ongoing instead of a rock concert kind of thing.” Although she explained that she enjoys the rock concert-type performances, she also enjoys the intimacy of smaller venues such as the kind the centre provided. If first looking at the poster for her concert, you'll find that her face is painted with one side of her face wearing doll-like make up, and the other donning only indigenous inspired face-paint to represent two sides of expected female beauty and cultural appropriation. Iskwe explained that she uses her face as a canvas to make political state-
As part of a collaboration between Iskwe, her band of musicians and the Kaha:wi Dance Theatre's International Artists, the show dazzled the audience at the Woodland Cultural Centre with a taste of raw culture in powerful performances.

Six Nations Rivermen own Owen Sound By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS – The Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen went up two games to none in the best of five playoff series against the Owen Sound North Stars at the Harry Lumley Arena Bayshore Community Centre, Aug 5, 11-10. The win followed a Game 1 win, which opened the series the night before at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA). Saturday night, the Rivermen were in for a tougher time than they saw in Game 1. The Stars scored first at 6:11 but before the hometown crowd was finished cheering on their team’s goal, Layne Smith scored a shorthander, 30 seconds later from Ashton Jacobs. Travis Szaboics handed the Stars their second lead at 12:04 and the hometown Owen Sound fans were back into the game. The Rivermen exploded with the last three of the period scored by Roger Vyse, Danton Miller, and Layne Smith’s second of the night. Smith is having a breakout season. Officially, he was a Six Nations Jr. B Rebel where he scored 72 goals and assisted on 40 for 112 points in 20 regular season games. So, to say he had a very busy lacrosse season for Smith would be a gross understatement. He was also called up for duty to the Six Nations Major Series Chiefs for the playoffs, after the Rebels were surprisingly dumped
It was a two-man wrecking crew that demolished the Owen Sound North Stars in Games 1 and 2 of the OSBLL playoffs.

In a league that is festooned with National Lacrosse League talent, this Jr.B player scored seven regular season goals and five assists in three games he was called up for. In the playoffs he has dressed for two playoff games so far and has contributed in a support role. Smith has also ap-
peared in a Six Nations Snipers ALL uniform in its inaugural season last winter where he amassed 30 goals and 21 assists for 51 points in 13 regular season games and a goal in the playoffs. The North Stars cut the Rivermen lead to 4-3 to open the second period, but Smith connected with Roger Vyse for Smith’s third goal as the R-men opened a two-goal edge at 5-3 at 4:47. Owen Sound notched

the next three to take the lead for the third time in the game, at 6-5. Kyle Smith evened the score from Joel Shepley for the 6-6 tie, but seven seconds later, the Stars had tied it again with Riley Thompson beating Six Nations goalie Warren Hill at 12:51. Wayne Hill and Roger Vyse ended the period with Six Nations goals scored at 19:07 and at 19:55 to end the second period up 7-6. In a game where the tide
reversed several times, it all came down to the last 20 minutes. Kyle Childerhose tied the score at 8-8 at 1:42 of the final period. Roger Vyse converted a Gregg Longboat pass to nose the Rivermen past Stars at 5:31. Owen Sound tied it again, this time at 9-9. Needing a goal Vyse and Danton Miller set up Smith for his fourth goal of the contest. Miller scored from Shepley for the 11-9 goal.
Owen Sound got the last goal of the game from Colin Mawdsley but it would not be enough as time ran out with Six Nations on top 11-10. The North Stars stayed close to the Rivermen in Game 1 of the series at the GPA, at least for the first period. Andy Campbell scored the game’s first goal, 49 seconds into the game.

Greg Longboat Jr. also had a big night making it 2-1 for the Rivermen at 6:13. Hill scored his second of the game at 7:31 from Longboat, but the North Stars gathered those goals back to tie the game at 3-3 at 43 seconds of the second period. That was all Owen Sound had in the tank as the Rivermen piled on with eight unanswered goals including two more by Kedoh Hill, two by Greg Longboat, two more by Layne Smith and the final poke in the eye by Hill for the 11-2 final. Gathering playoff points for Six Nations were Alex Kedoh Hill (5G,4A), Greg Longboat Jr. (3G,3A), and Smith (3G). Owen Sound got goals from Ken Coulson, Andy Campbell and Colin Mawdsley. Friday night, at 8:30 p.m., the Rivermen can win the series at home. Should the Stars win Game 3, Game 4 will be at the Lumley Arena, Sunday Aug. 11, at 8:30 pm.

Pro-Fit Chiefs working overtime By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS — Since losing a heart breaker at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) after three overtime periods, the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs evened the best of seven series against the Oakville Rock but it took more OT to do it. The Chiefs won Game 2, 14-11, after dropping Game 1, 8-7. The Chiefs were charged for Game 2 and rung up a 4-2 first period lead with Randy Staats, Craig Point, Jeremy Thompson and Ryan Benesch doing the honours for Six Nations. Oakville would not let that stand and pushed back, hard, in the second. Benesch scored his second of the game to open the period on a powerplay from Staats and Point but Oakville began chipping away at the Chiefs’ 5-2 lead. Wesley Berg and Mitch Desnoo brought the Rock back to the table scoring 32 seconds apart. Randy Staats got one back but the Rock notched two more quick ones before Staats scored his third of the game. Oakville’s Eric Fannell closed the frame with six seconds left on the clock to tie the score at 7-7. There was an explosion of goals in the early third period with each team trading three goals apiece. Both Brandon Miller and Nick Rose bricked up their nets in the second half of the period and held ground at 10-10 forcing the 10-minute OT period. Randy Staats put the Chiefs ahead, 55 seconds
The Six Nations Chiefs have one goal in mind as the Major Series playoffs draw to a close. The Mann Cup they won last season has its home at Six Nations. The Chiefs won it in 2013, 2104, and 2016 and before that, owned the challis in 1994, 1995, and 1996. File Photo into the extra time. Stephen Leblanc balanced the score again at 1:21, but Ryan Benesch put the Chiefs up again at 2:42. Brandon Miller held his ground while Randy staats and Dhane Smith added empty net goals. Tuesday night, Aug.1, the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs and the Oakville Rock went three OT periods before Wesley Berg decided Game 1 of the best-of-seven Major Series Lacrosse semi-final at the ILA. In total, Six Nations’ Dillon Ward was forced to handle 73 shots on goal while Nick Rose faced 54 Chiefs’ shots. Vaughn Harris and Kyle
Jackson scored for Six Nations while Dan Lomas and Bradley Kri scored for the Rock to complete the first period, tied at 2-2. Brett Hickey took an Oakville lead at 7:31 of the second period but Jackson answered with a short hander with Mike McNamara serving time for slashing. Hickey wrestled the lead back a minute later and it was a 4-3 game in favour of the Rock. Dan Dawson and James Barclay did battle at 12:27 instigated by a Barclay high stick with both combatants being tossed from the game. Shortly after the fur stopped flying, Ryan Benesch, Randy Staats s cored
in quick succession to take the lead back. Harris was gifted with a penalty shot at 17:46 for a Chiefs’ lead, at 6-4, but right off the ensuing faceoff, Rob Hellyer scored at 18:22 to co0m-lete the second period with the ProFit Chiefs holding a slim 6-5 lead. The Rock evened the score again early in the third period that Jordan Durston got back from Dhane Smith to take the lead back. The Chiefs couldn’t protect the lead and at 14:20, Oakville and Six Nations were tied at 7-7 with just shy of five minutes to go in regulation time. That would be the last
goal before Berg ended the marathon at 2:25 for the Oakville win. The series continues Tuesday night at the ILA, at 8 p.m. The parody between these two teams should make the rest of the bestof-seven semi-final series as exciting as the first two. Some are predicting a Game 7 to determine a winner, judging by the first two games. The winner will face the victors of the Peterborough versus Brooklin series, which is also tied at one game apiece. The next game in that coupling is set for Tuesday night as well. Results from both games will miss our deadline.
In between, there was a quiver full of Arrows goals beginning at 1:46 of the second frame by Holden Garlent, Travis Longboat, Percy Booth, Kesler Doolittle, and two by Austin Staats, ending the second period, with Six Nations leading 10-1. Staats made it 11-1 early in the third with his third of the game. Garlent scored his second, Cody Ward made it 12-1 and Blake Macdonald made it a baker’s dozen, at 13-1.
With the contest well out of reach for the Mountaineers, they added two late game tallies both on powerplays, before Travis Longboat brought the curtains down at 18:53, to end it, 15-3. The series opened last Thursday night at the ILA the Arrows won it 9-3 lead by Austin Staats’ four goals and two assists. Cory Highfield scored the only goal of the first period at 8:11 assisted by Russ Oaks and Tehoka
Nanticoke. Mimico’s Jonathan Donville tied the game with a powerplay goal at 1:02 of the second before Staats took the lead back at 4:54. The Mountaineers kept pace at 8:55 with Adrian Tokok-Orban’s game tier. Only 13 seconds later, Staats netted a beauty from Travis Longboat, followed by Arrows goals by Russ Oaks and Cody Ward. Three more Arrows hit their mark in the first half of the third, two by Staats
and one by Garlent. The score was 8-2 when Josh Toguri added Mimico’s third of the night which Nanticoke erased seconds later for the 9-3 final score. The Mountaineers have one huge mountain to climb if they have any hope to get past the Arrows. But anything can happen in the playoff, as the Jr. B Rebels found out.
Arrows could sweep Mimico Wednesday By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS — The Jr. A Arrows lead the Mimico Mountaineers 2-0 in the OJALL best-of-five series playoffs after winning Game 1, 9-3 last Thursday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA), and 15-3, Friday August 4. The Arrows pick it up again Wednesday, Aug. 9, at the ILA, at 8 p.m. when they hope to sweep the Mountaineers for the Jr. A Ontario championship and
a trip back to the Minto Cup. Friday night in Mimico, the Arrows left no doubt of their intentions in their lop-sided win. Austin Staats and Tehoka Nanticoke scored two goals each in the first period to take a 4-0 lead by the halfway point in the period. Alec Simons scored a powerplay goal for Mimico to end the first period 4-1. They would not beat Doug Jamieson again until 17:54 of the third period.

“The Razor” Hess goes pro By Jim Windle
BRANTFORD – The dream of a Six Nation boxer is about to come true. Karl “The Razor” Hess is turning pro. The announcement was made last Wednesday at his home gym, the Black Eye Boxing Club in Brantford. Surrounded by fellow club members, his trainers and family, Hess stood by his coach as Jackie Armor made the announcement. “We are turning Karl Hess pro in the new year,” he said. “I don’t know exactly when his first pro bout will be but probably January or February.” Fighting under the Black Eye banner, Hess has a 13-2 amateur record to date but he will be fighting as an amateur at least twice before the new year. “He’s done a heck of a job as an amateur for us, but the card in August will probably be the last time he will be fighting in Brantford,” said Armor. Hess will be the main event on a fight card set for August 26, at the Brantford Curling Club, promoted by the Black Eye Boxing Club. Karl’s cousin, Paul Longboat, also from Six Nations, will be making his amateur debut as well. To date there are seven confirmed fights but that number could go up. “I think I am ready to turn pro,” said Hess. “I’m confident, maybe a little nervous. I feel it will be better for me. I liked amateur, but I think I am more suited to this.” Armor points out that Hess has always had an issue fighting with the mandatory headgear, but in pro, he won’t have to deal with that distraction. Armor, and corner-men Rob Rutherford, Andrew Armor will be selecting The Razor’s remaining amateur fights very carefully to get Karl ready for pro. His August 26th outing will be a thriller. The
Karl ``The Razor`` Hess is turning pro. That was the announcement last week at the Brantford`s Black Eye Boxing Club. Hess` amateur record is 13-2. What could be his final amateur fight will be the main event on the boxing card at the Brantford Curling club, set for August 26. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE
last time Hess fought in Brantford, he went up against a 15-0 Toronto fighter, Jeffery Roland, and delivered Roland his first defeat with a knock out in the third round. The next day Roland’s handlers called Armor and asked for another shot at Hess, which was granted. That rematch will be the Main Event on the August card. Armor and Hess agree that this time they have seen the guy before and will be much more active in the early going. “The first time, I think we held back some in the first round to see what he’s got,” said Hess. Going pro is a decision, which requires more dedication to training, more ring discipline, and harder hitting opponents. “It’s about footwork and defense so you can stay away from those punches,” says Hess. He is not worried about his offensive power up against professionals. “Naturally, I like to fight up close, but I’ve been working on actually boxing,” says Hess. “Be evasive, ya know, but I think I’m good either
way.” There is a lot of putting out financially before you start bringing it in when turning pro. Travel, food and lodging even for sparing partners, physicals, other formalities, which can also run into added cost. Hess Boxing and Black Eye Boxing Club are putting out feelers for corporate sponsors as well as doing grass roots fund raising in advance to be ready to join fellow club member, Winston Matthews who turned pro in 2016. “It’s been a dream of mine to run a pro event in Brantford and have my two pros on the card,” says Armor. But it’s not that easy in Ontario. Boxing Ontario is a two-edged sword. On one hand, they are very particular about matching fighters of equal skill and experience. That is a good thing for young fighters who would otherwise be gobbled up by up and coming fighters wanting to increase their records by taking on inexperienced boxers. However, they are also very restricting when it
comes to sanctioning pro fights in Ontario. Recently, Canadian boxing legend George Chevalo, told TRT that Boxing Ontario could grow the boxing game easily by allowing more pro fights in Ontario. In the meantime, Armor will have to put his pro fighters on already sanctioned events out of town, but he has not given up hope to promote a pro card in Brantford sometime. Tickets are already on sale for fight night August 27 from Hess family members, Black Eye Boxing Club members or from Jackie Armor. “I love Six Nations fans,” says Armor. “Last time his mom sold 100 tickets herself, and there was a great atmosphere.”

General says not dehorned continued from page 2 General has been outspoken about his misgivings regarding the HDI, and in particular lawyer Aaron Detlor. General called into question several points related to the function and accountability of Haudenosaunee Development Institute, an organization which the Chiefs created after the Caledonia negotiations broke down. Two earlier attempts were made to remove him from the Chiefs bench but General’s stance has been that no one except his family and his clan mother can remove him, and so he has remained on the bench, until Saturday. Speaking in the language, General addressed the women’s bench, “whose Clan Mother said I wasn’t to sit here?” General maintains that his own Clan Mother, who is in Niagara Falls, and members of his family approves of him sitting as their Chief. But that isn’t how Leroy “Jock” Hill or some other Chiefs see it. Who is the Cayuga Wolf Clan Mother? It depends who you ask. Secretary Hill interrupted General’s address to the Clan Mothers ordering him from the bench. “You have had your say,” said Hill. “Now you must leave the bench. You can sit behind, but you are not a Chief.” But General refused to yield. Hill said that he was speaking with permission of the “Deskaheh” titleholder. But General refused to accept that and asked again why he didn’t speak to the issue himself, underscoring that as secretary, Hill had no authority to do so. According to General, whom we spoke to
Tuesday, others have told him he had done a good thing because he encouraged the Chiefs to learn their own language and to work for the people, not just for your clans. Things grew tense as the volume of the conversation elevated on both sides. In English, Jock declared to General that he has no horns (the mark of a condoled chief) and that he was “covered in blood”. Hill asked General for his wampum, which is also the mark of a Chief. He accused General of “30-years of misbehaving” in his term as Chief. General has no idea what that meant maintaining he only seeks to preserve the Confederacy he grew up in. When General tried to respond, Hill declared, “You are finished. You have had your say. You have not listened to the Clan Mothers and the Council and now you must leave the bench.” General questioned statements made by Hill that the issue has gone through both the Grand River and the Onondaga councils, but General says that is not true. According to General, when Jock went to the Onondaga council for their input, he is aware of two Mohawk Chiefs from Akwesasne who got up and said, “we can’t do anything about what’s going on with (Deyohyogo), that’s for his own clan, and not us.” It follows that the issue could not have passed the Onondaga Council without the Mohawk consent and the wishes of his own Clan Mother, and bead holder who who still supports him. “But he told everybody that it has gone through both councils,” said Gen-
eral. General said the council is “dysfunctional”. He also confirmed that they are incorporated. “That’s why they are dysfunctional, because they are being dictated to by Canadian Law.” When asked about a request for a media publication ban that was informally suggested outside of the Onondaga Longhouse General offered an explanation. “They didn’t want it published because it will show how disrespectful they are to another Chief or to anybody and I don’t think that’s right.” One of the big questions General has been asking without any acceptable answer is, “How can you maintain our own culture and heritage when you are incorporated through the HDI,” he asks. “Are the Chiefs outside the circle also? How can you have anything go in your favour when you are incorporated as a Canadian entity? We are assimilating our culture.” “Money is what is driving things now,” he says. General confirmed that he has never been on the HCCC or HDI payroll. He has also brought up questions of double standard when it comes to who can and who cannot sit on the bench, pointing across the room towards Butch Thomas, a former sub-chief, sitting on the Seneca bench. “He’s not even a Chief,” he says. “Why does Allen MacNaughton make decisions for all the Mohawks. There is supposed to be at least three Mohawk Chiefs to hold a Council. Right now we have one, and he is said not to have been properly condoled.” General believes he is being made an example of for people who won’t toe the line.
Iskwe performs at Woodland continued from 24 music evolved over time to focus on issues and experiences she has lived in her own life. This includes the impact of the death of Tina Fontaine in her
home community in Winnipeg; which inspired a dedicated song to Murdered and Missing Indigenous women. Her powerful voice along with the power-

SIX NATIONS - At last night's Six Nations Elected Council general meeting four young men were recognized with certificates of recognition for courage and bravery. Josh Miller, Danton Miller, Davis Jacobs and Brayden Hill witnessed a vehicle accident earlier this spring while they were outside playing lacrosse and wasted no time putting their own lives in the line of danger to help out. Brayden and Danton were present to receive their certificates from Councillor Wray Maracle. PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN
