Who got the Burtch crops? By Jim Windle

BURTCH — Kris Hill may have harvested the tobacco and bean crops planted at the former Burtch Correctional Institute lands, according to a local source. Hill was served an injunction by Six Nations Elected Council to keep her off the Burtch lands but now the fields are empty and there hasn’t been an official explanation for the community. The conflict over land usage sprang up when the Ontario government returned the land to the Elected Band Council instead of the traditional Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council of the Grand River, as was promised during the 2006 conflict in Caledonia. In the confusion, Kris Hill planted using what she said was a new lease provided her by the HCCC. However, that argument did not hold up and the Ontario Courts upheld the injunction. It remains unclear who harvested what for whom

and what is to become of the profits from the sale of the crops, mainly tobacco, since the Elected Council is not speaking on the issue. The Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI), however, responded to our questions regarding the fate of the crops. “The extent of involvement the HDI have with the Burtch Land is

to oversee the lease on behalf of the HCCC,” responded HDI Director Hazel Hill. “Neither HDI or the HCCC have any involvement or interest in the crop itself.” That apparently is the responsibility of Kris Hill herself and the HDI could shed no further light on the question. Kris Hill did not respond in time for press.

New Our Sustenance website blooms By TRT staff

SIX NATIONS – Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) and Our Sustenance Greenhouse and Farmer’s Market are excited to announce the launch of a new website. Our Sustenance offers various programming throughout the year including a weekly Farmers Market, monthly Good Food Box, daily Greenhouse operation and herbal apothecary, as well as a

range of workshops and educational series. The website is full of information and tips to help individuals and families grow a garden, preserve food, and be healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The Our Sustenance program began in 2011 as a result of information gathered from the community and captured in the Six Nations Community Plan, with the intention to bring reasonably priced, and locally grown food

into the community. From 2011 to 2015, the program was administered by the Economic Development Department of Six Nations Council. Our Sustenance gained momentum with the community during those years and now operates as a permanent operation under Six Nations Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC). In May 2015, Our Sustenance was given a forever home, access to more stable funding and now a brand-new shinny web-

OPINION What's with Walmart? EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

Medical cannabis strains may vary By Jonathan Garlow

It is a common joke in Indian Country that scone couples have their first dates at Walmart. In all honesty, we do shop a lot at Walmart. Especially here in Ontario. Indigenous humour pages on social media are littered with pictures of girls racing to Walmart from the powwow during dinner break to pick up last minute safety pins or duct tape before contest. But this weekend the love is growing cold friends. Across the province indigenous consumers have been turning to social media to express frustrations with the way Walmart is processing Indian Status Cards. Several people from across Ontario have reported they were told upon check out that Walmart was unable to offer customers tax exemption due to an “update to the system”. While some shoppers reported they were directed to customer service to have their RST reimbursed, others were told their Indian Status Card would not be accepted at all. We contacted Walmart Canada’s corporate office and a representative informed us there was no current system update and that they have not received any complaints or questions today regarding this matter. We also emailed Walmart Canada looking

for a response to media questions and did not hear back by press time. When we asked the situation to be escalated we were routed to another extension within Walmart’s corporate office which was an anonymous voicemail that was unable to take messages. It seems the phantom system update got Indian Country in a tizzy with no explanations from our big box friend. A customer service representative at Walmart Brantford did confirm that there was a system host issue over the weekend “coming from head office” that made cashiers unable to enter Indian Status card information. However when we identified as media and pressed for more details we were quickly put on hold for ten minutes, directed to a store manager, and then told she could not answer any questions. “I can’t talk to you because you’re media…” and we were directed to call 1-800-Walmart. What’s the deal Walmart? Why u no like our questions? A different representative at the Brantford store later did confirm to our journalists that “the system” is now up and running and that status cards should again be accepted without issue.

Medical cannabis (marijuana) has been legal in Canada since 2001. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia and the Canadian Medical Protective Association say that doctors may prescribe cannabis if they feel comfortable with it. According to MacLean’s Magazine 130,000 Canadians signed up with the country’s 38 licensed cannabis producers this year as medical patients approved by a doctor. An older survey said that only 10 per cent of Canada’s physicians prescribe medical cannabis, but that number may be growing. The government of Canada says there are two categories of medical cannabis treatment. Category 1 covers any symptoms treated within the context of providing compassionate end-oflife care or at least one of the symptoms associated with medical conditions listed below: – Severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis, from a spinal cord injury, from spinal cord disease. – Severe pain, cachexia, anorexia, weight loss, and/or severe nausea from cancer or HIV/AIDS infection. – Severe pain from severe forms of arthritis. – Seizures from epilepsy. Category 2 is for applicants who have debilitating symptom(s) of medical condition(s), other than

those described in Category 1. Dr. John Goodhew is a family physician from Toronto who believes in the medicinal properties of cannabis. Goodhew said he prescribes cannabis for such ailments as pain, weight loss from conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, nausea and Hepatitis C. Although he is favourable to cannabis treatments, Goodhew is apprehensive of prescribing medical cannabis for Category 2 ailments due to a lack of peer reviewed studies. “Things like anxiety and depression where there really isn’t good data that it works — I won’t prescribe it,” he said in an interview with CBC. In years past, it has been difficult to study cannabis in a scientific setting because it is an illegal controlled substance. Now with cannabis becoming legal for recreational use in 2018 funding for cannabis research may become more accessible for laboratory studies. Scientists do know that the marijuana plant is comprised of more than 100 chemicals, known as cannabinoids, with each of these possibily having different effects on your body. Unlike opioids and other narcotic substances such as cocaine, cannabis does not affect regions of the brain associated with breathing so it is impossible to overdose. What is the difference between medical cannabis and recreational mar-

ijuana? Mostly production standards and quality assurance. For example Canada’s largest medical cannabis producer Tilray has received GMP certification. As an internationally recognized standard, GMP is designed to ensure that medicines are consistently produced and controlled with the same high levels of quality and purity. Canadian doctors currently do not prescribe specific strains of cannabis to treat symptoms. How do you know which one is right for you? In the 18th century botanists determined that there are actually two types of psychoactive marijuana plants, Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Sativa. The Indica plants originate within an 800-mile long mountain range on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border called Hindu Kush. These plants are short, bushy with thick leaves and a resinous coating that protects the plant from harsh climates and conditions. Indica is a sturdy plant which can be grown in colder climates. This type of cannabis provides a relaxing full-body sensation that can treat pain or insomnia. Three popular Indica strains are Blueberry, Afghani and Northern Lights. The Sativa cousin grows naturally in mountainous regions of South America, Africa, and tropical places throughout the world. The Sativa plant grows tall, up to 25 feet

Volume 5, Issue 9

high and has thin leaves and long thin branches. The effects of Sativa tend to be uplifting, creative and cerebrally-focused which can help concentration, mood and even fatigue. All-star strains of the Sativa plant are Silver Haze, Sour Diesel and Jack Herer. Any of these strains can be combined with each other by breeders. When Sativa and Indica genetics are interbred the result is a hybrid plant. To date there are at least 779 different strains of cannabis according to leafly.com. Because of the unregulated nature of cannabis breeding many of these strains are not what they claim to be. A recent study showed that many of the strains are misleading or completely false. “Cannabis breeders and growers often indicate the percentage of Sativa or Indica in a cannabis strain, but they are not very accurate,” the study’s author, Jonathan Page, explained. “Right now, the genetic identity of a marijuana strain cannot be accurately determined by its name or reported ancestry. Ultimately we require a practical, accurate and more reliable classification system of this plant.” Canadian Cannabis activist Kyle Morrison has said “all cannabis use is therapeutic use,” but for medical users who are treating specific health problems they deserve to know the exact nature and effects of the medicine they are ingesting.

Wishful Thinking and Political Reality on the Six Nations of the Grand River By Doug Whitlow BA, First Nations Studies

There are two concepts present here in this Iroquois community along the Grand River that appear to confuse many people: the concept of Wishful Thinking and Political Reality, in relation to the governance of the community. The concept of Wishful Thinking comes into play when the many supporters of the old and outdated Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council believe that somehow the Chiefs Council will miraculously re-assume a position of Iroquoian Tribal Governance that has not existed in the community for well over 90 years. The concept of Political Reality comes into play when the man on the street, or in this case, the Indian on the rez, observes the Six Nations Chief and her Elected Council going through the day-to-day business of running the reserve based on a dem-

ocratic system of governance. Yes; it is true that at some undefined point in the 1800s well after Joseph Brant had passed on, the people in this Grand River community re-introduced to their community a form of the original Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council of governance that had existed in the Iroquois communities of North America prior to the birth of the United States of America in the late 1700s. However; the Grand River iteration of the original Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council appeared to lack the political will and the staying power of the old system of Iroquoian Governance and was replaced by a democratic form of governance in 1924. Moving forward from 1924 up to the present day, the two local systems of governance have been at odds with one another over the governing of the territory as both entities want to be the

boss and every reasonable person knows that there can only be one boss or in this instance; one Chicf. Of course; we are all aware that there really are, many chiefs in the Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council and no individual chief really out ranked any of the other chiefs and we are all aware that the term, chief is not the title held by the men who comprise the old Iroquois Confederacy Council. However; chief is the title of the man or woman who heads up the modern day democratically elected council here at the Six Nations of the Grand River and this form of governance is in no danger of being done away with any time soon and as (they say), we must learn to live with it. Now, just saying something will not make it happen and as we have all witnessed in the very recent past in an open field near the town of Caledonia, there is a

group of Iroquois people gathered in an effort to try and get the Canadian government and the Ontario government to renegotiate something that is not renegotiable and all the wishful thing in the world is Not going to change that. The question of who or why the Burtch property was returned to has been answered by all the parties involved even though the deal was done in a very underhanded way by all the parties involved in the final transfer of the land. If the Feds; the province and the highly paid representatives of the Six Nations Senior Administrative Officer's, had all carried out their due diligence responsibilities the land would have been returned to the Mohawks and others of the Six Nation Indians according to the wording of the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784 and not to a corporation headed up by the same team of negotiators from the reser-

vation who had, with the Feds and the province done the dirty deed, as they say. It is interesting to note here, that in this situation, that even though there are many of us who support the Six Nations Elected Council and the Democratic Process of governance; here in the Burtch Land Transfer Process, many of us are actually in agreement with the supporters of the Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council but not the Chiefs Council itself that this deal was handled in a completely undemocratic fashion as most of us were never made aware of the land Transfer details until the transfer had actually occurred and all the wishful thinking by everyone one of we individual people will not force any of the parties to renegotiate this deal. The reality of the political situation here on the Six Nations of the Grand River is that even though

we have a democratically elected form of governance of one person one vote, we always seem to end up with a local governing body comprised of the same members of the community which is, in reality, undemocratic; and more in line with that of a dictatorial form of governance where the governing body gets to remain in office until the members die or are forced out of office by a Coup De' Tet or some other violent form of removal. And so; the reality of the political situation here in the Grand River valley is that in the realm of local band governance we have what we have and until we the people can somehow overcome all of our individual and societal difficulties involving governance, all the wishful thinking in the world will never get us out of the unsavoury political realities we are currently firmly caught up in.

Sound used as a weapon? By Jim Windle

HAVANA – Diplomats and embassy workers in Havana, Cuba have fallen ill to a series of strange ailments that leaves them deaf and nauseous. Officials suspect they may have been the targets of some kind of secret sub-sonic weapon, employed by the Cuban Military. The symptoms began in November of 2016, shortly after the U.S. elected Donald Trump was to be President. Shortly thereafter, 16 Embassy diplomats became ill. President Obama was making headway in smoothing over relations with Cuba, which were severed following the Cuban Missiles Crisis of 1961. Trump is not as forgiving and is expected to refreeze relations with the island to the south of Florida.

American doctors were flown in to investigate the strange symptoms, which were now causing mild brain injury to many of them. The suspected “sound attacks” stopped in the spring of 2017, but some have sustained permanent injury. “The unique nature of the incidents has been a complicating factor in answering definitively many of the questions that have arisen,” a State Department spokesperson said on an interview with Vox Magazine published out of Yorkville University. “We do not know who or what is causing these incidents.” U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson refers to the symptoms as a result of “health attacks”. American investigators believe that the diplomats affected were attacked more than 50 times. There

is no disclosure as to why they have come to that conclusion since they continue to investigate. According to CNN, investigators haven't determined the cause of the incidents, but U.S. officials told CNN they are convinced someone has targeted American diplomats in Havana with a sophisticated device never deployed before, at least not against U.S. personnel. Cuba has denied any knowledge of the attacks or the suspected sound

weapon. Canadian diplomats have also been reporting similar symptoms resembling concussions. The U.S. State Department has pulled its non-essential personnel from Cuba as a precaution. Sound cannons, have been employed primarily to cargo ships and Cruise liners to fend off pirate attacks on the Indian Ocean. But this sound weapon is excruciatingly loud when focused on its target, yet nearly silent at the source.

New citizens will reference indigenous history OTTAWA — Changes to the rules about becoming a Canadian citizen come into effect next week. As of Oct. 11, only those people between the ages of 18 to 54 will be required to take and pass a knowledge test. Previously, the age range was 14 to 64. And the number of years a person must be physically present in Canada before being

eligible for citizenship will change to three out of five from four out of six. The changes are part of an ongoing overhaul of the Citizenship Act by the Liberal government, which says it wants to simplify the process. The government is also rewriting the citizenship oath to incorporate a reference to treaties with Indigenous Peoples.

KENORA — Ontario’s provincial police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in the Lake of the Woods near Kenora, Ont. The body was pulled from the water yesterday afternoon after police received a call about a body in the water. Police found the man near the city's Main Street dock. The deceased is described as an Indigenous male in his 40s,

about six-feet tall with a slim build, with a goatee and a mole on his forehead. Police say he was wearing a black Sierra Designs windbreaker jacket, dark blue wind pants and low cut beige hiker style shoes. There was no immediate word on the cause of death and police said they wanted to talk to anyone with possible information about the case.

TORONTO — Ontario will create safe zones around abortion clinics to protect women who seek their services and the healthcare workers who perform them. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi introduced the legislation on Wednesday. Naqvi said the zones will extend up to 150 metres around Ontario's eight abortion clinics. Advising a person to refrain from getting an abortion, an-

ti-abortion protests and intimidation or interfering with a woman's ability to access the services will be banned. The ban will also automatically apply to 150 metres around the homes of abortion staff and health professionals who provide the services. Violators could face up to $5,000 in fines and six months in jail for a first offence and a $10,000 fine and up to a year in jail for subsequent offences.

Dreamcatcher Foundation four more playgrounds closer to goal Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation wants to give children in every Ontario fly-in reserve a playground and is more than halfway to its goal after this summer's builds in Moose Cree, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat and Fort Albany. By Jayson Koblun NORTHERN ONTARIO – Live, play, laugh is the motto of the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation and the team continues to live it out year after year. Two Row Times reporter Jayson Koblun and sales executive Tiff Thomas went on a five-day journey with a team of volunteers from the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation to help launch four new playgrounds for children living in northern reserves near or on James Bay. Dreamcatcher sponsored and donated the parks that Henderson Playground Equipment of Simcoe completed several weeks ago. The team — Jennifer Rowe, Alison Bogoslowski, Photographer/ Videographer Steve Haining and his assistant Kieran Noble, Melissa Nezezon, Alyssa Baxter, Koblun and Thomas — spent the week travelling to Moose Cree, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat and Fort Albany First Nations kicking off the playgrounds and spending time in each community. “It was beautiful up north, especially this time of year, but it was a lot

of physically demanding work,” said Thomas. “We were up and on the go by 6:30 every morning to catch our chartered flight to a new reserve and didn’t get back to the hotel until late in the evening — it was exhausting work, but totally worth it for the kids. I learned a lot too.” Thomas and the other team members said they learned to really appreciate the things they have at home that these northern communities don’t have access to. The team was stationed in Pickle Lake and flew out to one of the new playgrounds every morning where hundreds of children and community members were waiting to participate in the grand opening of each playground. Each day the team travelled to the site, set-up their tents, tables, barbecues and giveaways and prepared for a long, but fun and introspective, day. Children and community members lined up for hours to get a free hotdog, juice box, Dreamcatcher T-shirt and a backpack filled with school supplies; a ruler, calculator, pencil case, pens and pencils, thermos, highlighters and

a notepad. Most of the communities the team visited have all experienced a great deal of hardships in recent years, from floods, and now is the time to really focus on giving the children there something fun and something to help them stay in school. “The supplies are great,” said one of the parents in Moose Cree. “It’s awesome that the stuff [school supplies from Dreamcatcher] is such good quality, it should all get used and last a really long time.” You can tell that the four new playgrounds will be very much appreciated and enjoyed by the community. All four playgrounds follow the same basic template and boast the colours of the Medicine Wheel. Each has a monkey bar set, climbing net, mini merry-go-round, ladders and more. The highlight at each location was the definitely the tire swing. “The tire swing is my favourite, it’s so much fun!” said DJ from Kashechewan. Dreamcatcher will be building at least one playground in more First Nations in Northern Ontario each year until every fly-in reserve has one.

The first park the team kicked off was in Moose Cree First Nation. The team had to take a flight, a boat taxi, and a few rides from community members to reach their destination. PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN

Reflecting on a charitable trip up North By Tiff Thomas

I recently travelled to four Northern Remote Reserves in Ontario last week. Moose Factory, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat, and Fort Albany. I didn't exactly know what laid ahead when I made the decision to go, but I wasn't really worried about it. I was going to help, and that was enough for me. The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation has a Park Project where their goal is to put a playground in every remote fly in First Nation in Ontario. The trip started rough for me I won't lie, I started to feel homesick the second day and almost hurled all over during our third plane ride of the day. Let me give you a physical run down of what we did this week. Everyday we flew out of a base hangar at 7 a.m. to the scheduled community for that day, which ranged anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours, just one way. We had to unload into trucks, take the trucks to the playgrounds, set up and begin the Grand Opening for the community! During these grand openings we got to give away Dreamcatcher shirts, back packs, school supplies and hot dogs! Not only did this feel good to do but I spent a lot of my time with the kids and the people of the communities. Learning about their way of life, their normalities and moods. Their lands. The way they speak. It was all so beautiful to see. Kashechewan spoke Cree quite fluently amongst each other. Moose Factory had boat taxis, barges, and helicopters to get back and forth from Moosonee. You can't drink the water in Attawapiskat. And Fort Albany has one of

the most beautiful elementary schools I've ever seen. The lands were all untouched. Beautiful tall pine trees and a lot of oranges and yellows already. Kashechewan and Moose Factory had "dry huts" where they go to smoke meat and fish. The weather in the communities varied, cold, warm, rainy, really cold; but out of all the hard work and long

hours; it was a feeling you couldn't buy. To give back is to do something bigger than yourself. We are giving these kids hope. During my travels I got the chance to ask questions and interact with the people, especially in Attawapiskat. There were four children who followed me around all day. DJ, Deanna, "Chubby", and Myra. They asked me so many questions and wanted to know everything about me. They even told me some things kids their age shouldn't know. Gas sniffing, speed and cocaine. Eight to 12 year olds. It broke my heart, knowing these things are normal to the kids within their community. There I was, comparing the normalities to children in Northern Reserves to children in Six Nations. I look around at my big

beautiful community and see people full of anger, complaining about spilled milk and our leadership who can't work together for the people. All the while there are children up north who can't drink their own water, or have to pay $22 for 24 bottles of it. It's cheaper to drink pop in these places. To sum it all up for you I was hit with the harsh reality of Northern First Nations life within Ontario. It was sad, but DJ couldn't understand why. He said "We're happy here, we can leave anytime we want, but we are happy and thank you for our new playground.� It's almost like never having paved roads and not knowing what it would be like if you did have them. It's an unknown. Just like taking a boat or helicopter to school is unknown to us. I learned

a lot about myself during this trip, it helped guide me into the whirlwind of emotions I felt once I left these communities. What else can I do that's bigger than myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation, Alyssa Baxter and Jennifer Rowe for all the amazing work you have done and congratulations on completion of 23 installed parks in Northern Remote First Nations — can't wait until next year! More content next week.

Conference shares information for breast cancer survivors on living their “new normal” By TRT staff HAMILTON – Breast cancer survivors and their loved ones are invited to Life After Breast Cancer, a full-day conference taking place Wednesday, Oct. 18 at the Hamilton Convention Centre by Carmen’s. Presented by Hamilton Health Sciences’ Juravinski Cancer Centre (JCC), the Life After Breast Cancer conference helps breast cancer survivors adjust to their “new normal” after diagnosis and treatment. The Life After Breast Cancer conference has taken place every two years for the past nine years and typically attracts more than 300 participants. “Conference topics cover a wide range of survivorship issues ranging from exercise, nutrition and management of long-term side effects to recent advances in diagnosis and treatment from physicians specializing in this field,”

says conference Co-Chair Dr. Callista Phillips, a medical oncologist at the Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington and the JCC where she treats breast cancer and has a special interest in survivorship. Hamilton Health Sciences presenters include medical oncologist Dr. Ghazaleh Kazemi who will talk about extended hormonal therapy, and radiation oncologist Dr. Barbara Strang who will discuss radiation therapy, including managing long-term side effects. Nurse practitioner Mar-

garet Forbes will offer helpful advice on hot flash management and radiation therapist Michele Cardoso will discuss tools for managing the lymphedema challenge. Genetics counsellor Kathleen Bell will share information on cancer genetics and Dr. Paul Miller, an emergency and palliative care physician, will discuss the value of hope.

Hamilton yoga teacher Heath-

er Greaves will speak to the connection between yoga and spiritual well-being. This year’s keynote speaker is Susan Stewart, a Toronto comedian who uses humour to help her audience manage stress. “Her routine acts as a reminder that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can manage how we respond to it,” says conference Co-Chair Leslie Maskell. The Life After Breast Cancer conference takes place Oct. 18 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hamilton Convention Centre by Carmen’s, 1 Summers Lane.

Central New Yorkers celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day By TRT staff SYRACUSE – Around one hundred people gathered in Columbus Circle in Syracuse this week to call for Syracuse and Onondaga County to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON) organized “Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day – Not Columbus Day”, and the event went viral on Facebook, attracting support from all over the country, although most actual attendees were local.

The tough negotiations between Brant, Brantford and Six Nations regarding the transfer of 2,720 hectares of county land to the north, east and south of Brantford into the city's jurisdiction are still tough, apparently. As first reported in the Brant News, during one of those negotiation meetings, Brantford Mayor Chris Friel blew his cool telling Six Nations Elected Council consultant on lands, "F*** you Phil," before storming out.

F*** you Phil By Jim Windle

PARIS — After firing an “F” shot at Six Nations consultant Phil Montour, back on August 9th, Brantford Mayor Chris Friel has removed himself from the mediation process between Brant, Brantford and Six Nations over the boundary talks involving Six Nations lands under claim. The Brant News uncovered two letters detailing an incident at the County of Brant office in Paris during jurisdictional talks where the offense happened. According to the report, after being challenged over the title of the lands under question and compensation,

Friel suddenly barked at Monture, “F*** you Phil,” before packing his things and walking out of the meeting with a “Good luck” as the door closed. In a letter of complaint, Elected Chief Ava Hill wrote that she and her councillors and staff were “deeply offended” by a display of “disrespect and unprofessionalism.” Six Nations used the incident to underscore why she felt Six Nations was not properly consulted nor accommodated in the deal involving Six Nations lands. He has since apologized for his outburst but will remain apart from the talks.

We gather here during a teachable moment to discuss the on-going impacts of that legacy and to commit ourselves to reversing it.” The Doctrine of Discovery, established in the Papal Bull Inter Cetera in 1493 in response to Columbus’s voyage, laid claim to the entirety of the Americas in the name of Christian kings. It continues to be used in American courts to justify the theft of Indigenous lands

By Chezney Martin HAMILTON – On the other side of the Indigenous Studies sector, Sunshine Tenasco offered a beading workshop for indigenous and non-indigenous students as a collective. The workshop allowed communication about water crisis within indigenous communities and also the cultural importance of water. Tenasco would formerly teach baby moccasin

making classes, but when she began a workshop organization called Her Braids she took the workshops into a different direction with water crisis focus and beaded pendants. She explained that by beading a necklace for this particular workshop, the students would then have a conversation starter to talk about water crisis' and their impacts on indigenous communities. “When someone asks

about their pendant it creates awareness about the need to make clean drinking water a human right in Canada, and it's done in a good and positive way because it's in bead work,” said Tenasco. Assistant Beader Christa Jonathan explained that she invited Tenasco to the university after seeing the importance of having those types of conversations herself. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

BEADING continued from page 20 “I participated in a Her Braids workshop a month ago and I realized how important it was,” said Jonathan. “It provides handson learning and so I asked Sunshine to come in and being a beader myself I offered to help her.” She explained that combining the non-indigenous with some indigenous students allowed for a better rapport of education. “I think it allows

[non-indigenous] students to see that there are different ways of educating yourself and using your hands through experiencial learning is just as important as learning in the classroom and in lecture halls.” Jonathan said that she thinks workshops like this one do take people out of their comfort zones, but they are definitely enjoyable.

Indigenous Screen Culture

HAMILTON – While studying away from home many students can crave not only the company of their families and friends, but also the taste of home cooking. To help ease this craving in indigenous students, the Indigenous Studies and Student Services sector of McMaster University offered a pie crust making class on Thursday, October 5 and a pie filling and baking class on Friday, October 6 headed by Elder Ima Johnson. Johnson explained in the Mohawk language that she instructed the students in how to make raspberry, black raspberry, blueberry, cherry and peach pies. “Senha ioianere no:nen saio'ten (they are very good workers),” she said of the students. The students that took the class were taught not only how to make the pies, but were also taught all of the nuances of making the pie taste great. Johnson adds white tapioca to her pies to help keep the fruit juices from overflowing to a great extent, and also adds egg wash to the top crust to turn it a vibrant golden brown. Of the students in the class, Kelsey Leonard from the Shinnecock Nation explained that she already knew how to make pies at home, but the class was beneficial in allowing her to do it in a familial setting. “I think that the pie making was just a really great opportunity for

students who may be far away from home to be able to connect with [an elder],” said Leonard. “[Workshops like this allow indigenous students to connect] with their elders, with traditional knowledge, with teachings that are so integral to our indigenous communities and nations, and I think food is a really big part of that conversation and being able to connect and being able to build relationships and being able to feel connected in your culture and in your identity,” she said. Although some students aren't very far away from home where elders can be accessed easily, Leonard explained that the workshops still hold a “profound” chance for non-local students to experience something both integral and beneficial. “For some home isn't that far away,” she said. “Six Nations isn't that far away, but just that connection being established between the university, the students and between local knowledge holders and elders like Ima Johnson is just such a profound opportunity that we don't really get to have in major universities and institutions around the world. So we're just blessed.” Workshops such as this one are proving to be more and more beneficial for the social and emotional well-being of students and their overall success in school. Their continuation for indigenous student-focused workshops is hoped to continue to make positive impacts.

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Saturday night at the Haldimand Centre in Caledonia, the Pro-Fit Corvairs and the Welland Jr. B Canadians were tied at 3-3, after two late period Welland goals scored at 18:20 and 19:10. Adam Craievich and

Bobby Harrison gave Caledonia a 2-0 lead before Maliek Powell got the Canadians’ motor running at 10:39. TJ Hughes restored Caledonia’s twogoal cushion at 15:21, but Welland’s Jordan Simpson and Brendan Rylott quickly evened the score. The Canadians took the lead at 4:57 of the second period, but Eddie Shultz got that back within 30 seconds and the Canadians and the Corvairs were tied again at 4-4, but not for long. Greg Anthony made Caledonia pay for a penalty at 11:06 after Dravin

Mayer was tagged for a head-check. Craievich evened the score and Isaac Taylor scored late second period goals to take back the lead at 6-5 with 20 minutes left. Bobby Harrison scored the insurance goal at 1:17 of the third period, which held to the end. Pierce Charleston and Brandon McCorriston shared the win. They had an easier time in Welland against the Blackhawks. Corvairs’ goalie Brandon McCorriston came within five minutes of a shut out when

the Thorold Blackhawks’ Brendan Chariton scored Blackhawks’ only goal of a 7-1 loss at the hands of the Corvairs, Thursday night in Thorold. Craievich opened all three periods with Harrison, Jamie Lauzon, Bailey Fletcher and Jesse Barwell adding to the win. Looking ahead to this week’s games, the Corvairs will be in Buffalo on Tuesday night in a game that will miss our deadline, and will host the Fort Erie Meteors, on October 15, at the Haldimand Centre.

In sophomore full season with the Ducks, he has been called upon early after Ryan Getzlaf, Sami Vatanen, Ondrej Kase, Nick Richie, Hampus Lindholm, and Patrick Eaves all out with pre and early season injuries. Goalie Ryan Miller is also out with an injury. “Obviously, they are experienced guys and having those guys hurt it gives guys like myself and a couple of other guys a chance to step up and be up for the challenge,” said Montour. The Ducks opened the season against the LA

Kings and battled them nose to nose through a full three periods with no one able to beat either goalies, until the 2:55 mark of the first OT period when Jake Muzzin ended it in the Kings favour, 1-0.

The Ohio State University (OSU) standouts were selected second, fifth and sixth overall, respectively, in the 2017 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft. “Ever since I was a kid playing lacrosse, it's been my goal to reach the highest level,” said Withers. “So it's very exciting to sign a pro contract, especially with such a world-class organization.” This summer, Withers excelled with the Mann Cup champion Peterborough Lakers, playing under Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. The 23-year-old played in 12 regular season games and posted an astounding .779 faceoff winning percentage. His success con-

tinued in the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) playoffs as he won .722 percent of his draws. “Jake is really good at the faceoff dot, which will allow our ‘O’ to have a few more possessions,” said Hasen. “He plays hard in the defensive zone and fits very well in our team system. He’ll contribute to making our overall team game much better on both sides of the floor.” Before heading home to Peterborough, Ontario to play for the Lakers, Withers was helping the Ohio State Buckeyes reach the Division I Men’s Lacrosse National Championship Game. In his senior season, he ranked fourth in the NCAA and first in the Big Ten in faceoff winning percentage (.647) and was seventh nationally in ground balls per game (7.6). For his efforts, the Ohio State captain was named a Second Team All-American, and Big Ten

Specialist of the Year for the second straight season. At the draft, Withers was reunited with two of his OSU teammates, with Fannell and Austin Shanks also going to Rochester. It was an historic occasion as it marked the first time in National Lacrosse League history that three players from the same university went to the same team in the opening round. Withers’ college roommate, Austin Shanks, will follow him to training camp after being selected with the fifth overall pick. This week, Shanks made it official by signing with the Knighthawks. “Signing a pro contract gets me one step closer to my lifelong goal of playing in the NLL,” he said. “Being able to sign with the Rochester Knighthawks, an organization with a rich tradition and a winning culture, makes it even sweeter.”

The Committee intends to hold public hearings in Toronto on Thursday, October 19, 2017.
