“Where The Vision Is Yours”
Titleholder passes HDI report confirms newspaper publisher ONONDAGA, NY — A hereditary chief from the Onondaga Nation has died. Chief Irving Powless of the Onondaga Beaver Clan in the US passed late last week. The author and elder was 88 years old. Powless held the title of Dehatgahtos since the 1970s and was secretary to the Onondaga Council of Chiefs for 30 years. The
title was a “duplicate” and is also currently held by the Onondaga Beaver Clan Hoyane at Six Nations. Powless was a teacher, lacrosse player and veteran — as well as an environmental protector in his community. He received an honorary Doctor of Law degree in 2009 from Syracuse University.
Haudenosaunee leaders help NAFTA revisions
NEW YORK — A indigenous rights chapter in the North American Free Trade Agreement could just be window dressing according to critics if it does not address indigenous land rights properly. Oneida representatives told the CBC Canadian negotiators for NAFTA’s overhaul tabled a draft chapter on Trade and Indigenous People that leans toward inclusion of the UNs Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the protection of indigenous knowledge. Critics of the proposed chapter say it could be just words on a page to create the image of indigenous inclusion but not protect the rights on indigenous people.
paid thousands to provide positive coverage By Jim Windle & Nahnda Garlow OHSWEKEN – The Haudenosaunee Development Institute Director Hazel Hill says the HDI paid out over $120,000 in 2016-2017 fiscal year and over $75,000 in 2017 to two media consultants for their services to bring positive news coverage to the HDI. Hill released her December 2017 HDI report on the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s website late last week. The 48-page document answers many questions people have been asking for a long time — notably the confirmation of a contract with Turtle Island News publisher Lynda Powless. Disclosure of how much money was paid to Lynda Powless or the Turtle Is-
land News since 2013 is not dollar specific. When asked about how much Powless was paid for her work Hill told the Two Row Times (TRT) in an email, “Unfortunately salaries and contracts, including consultants salaries remain confidential just like in any other government office or place of employment. That information is not public anymore than your salary is or the salary of staff and consultants that work for the band council.” However in her report, Hill writes that there were two media consultants for the HDI — Lynda Powless and The Daisy Group — and that the local media consultant, Lynda Powless, received a greater percentage of the overall communications budget for both years. Hill writes in the re-

port, “I can advise that the monthly costs for each of the consultants is the same, with the ‘extras’ being for costs such as printing etc.,; and over-all the costs of Communications for the 2016/2017 fiscal year were $121,064.42, with the Daisy Group receiving a lower percent of that budget, and for the 2017/2018 year to date, we have currently spent $75,505.33, again with the Daisy Group having received a lower percent of that amount.” Hill confirmed Powless’ duties to the HDI while she was under oath, taking the stand during a recent trial in a Brantford courtroom earlier this year. According to court transcripts from the trial acquired by TRT, Hill told Defence Attorney Andrew Furgiuele that the Turtle
Island News publisher was “hired by the HDI” to put out “the truth from the Confederacy’s perspective”. In the report, Hill says Powless resigned as communications consultant in June of 2017, via email through her financial accountant and that Hill was not personally notified. Hill suggests in her report that an email chain involving Powless, HDI employees and chiefs and clan mothers accused Hill of going over her role as HDI director when she hired the Daisy Group as a second media consultant to conduct lobbying work in Ottawa.Sometime in 2016, HDI hired Warren Kinsella of “The Daisy Group” — a public and media relations firm CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

HDI report confirms continued from page 2 —which Hill suggests in her December report may have prompted Powless’ resignation. Hill addressed the emails, saying “The allegations that the HDI stepped over the Chiefs in our work with the Daisy Group, or that we had intended on continuing in spite of the direction of this council are simply not true.” Hill says, “I stand by my decision to hire the Daisy Group because I still believe they are best suited to get the task at hand done.” Hill continued on in her December report saying that e-mail chain also suggested Powless was an employee of the HCCC and not the HDI. That assertion however is adamantly rejected by HDI’s Director, who says while the focus of Powless’ work was about creating a communications strategy for the HCCC, “the contract itself was between the consultant and HDI.” “There is no confu-
sion on the part of HDI as to who the consultant worked for and who had authority to accept [her] resignation,” writes Hill “…the suggestion that the Communications Contract is between the HCCC and the consultant [Powless] has no merit.” Hill says HDI’s initial hiring of Powless as a communications consultant occurred in November 2013 and was reported to the HCCC in HDI’s report to council on November 9, 2013. In November 2014 the contract was renewed through to her resignation in June 2017. In 2016, community concerns about Powless being involved in a potential compromise were raised to our reporters at the May HCCC meeting. TRT Editor Nahnda Garlow then reached out to Powless for comment in response to the allegation she may be in a conflict of interest as a newspaper publisher being paid by the local governing body to spin news in a positive
direction. Powless told TRT in an emailed statement “If in fact you have come across any community members, since it was not raised at council, or even non-community members who have any questions about my company or my business by all means please feel free to send them over to me…” Hill took a great deal of effort in the December report to also defend her actions in publishing an official Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council newsletter — oftentimes without the full approval of the HCCC themselves. Hill wrote in her own defence saying sometimes getting the full Council’s approval prior to its publication is “not a necessity”. Hill continues, suggesting the people of Six Nations “don’t know or don’t understand the decisions of council” and says leaving the issues to be reported on by local media is a “detriment”.
OTTAWA — Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott has officially been given responsibility for overseeing the delivery of First Nations and Inuit health services. The federal government says the First Nations and Inuit health branch at Health Canada has been formally reassigned to Philpott's new department. In the last year, the branch has been subject
to criticism from Indigenous leaders for its handling of the suicide crisis plaguing Aboriginal youth across the country. Philpott says the structural changes will allow the federal government to work more effectively with Indigenous partners to provide services. This past summer, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau initiated a major shakeup in how his government handles the
Indigenous Affairs file, an effort critics say had stalled out. He put Carolyn Bennett, who was named Indigenous affairs minister in Trudeau's original cabinet, in charge of the Crown's relationship with IndigenousPeoples, with Philpott focused on service issues, including fixing long-term water quality problems, First Nations education and housing.

OPINION Print still has value
EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN & NAHNDA GARLOW Some students today are viewing themselves as ‘digital natives’ because they are the first generation to grow up with smart phones, tablets and highspeed Internet. The Academic Journalism Society has been researching the ways humans comprehend information read from paper and from screens and it turns out our minds absorb info from the printed page better for texts that are more than a page in length. Scrolling disrupts comprehension. That’s really great news for newspaper businesses and the print industry abroad — an industry that’s in need of some good news. In 2014 a total of 91 magazines went belly up. The year before that 51 closed up shop. Newspaper ad revenue is 49 per cent lower than it was 10 years ago and it’s been a tough go for everyone. Look at the Brant News closure that was announced last week. A deal between media conglomerates Postmedia and Torstar resulted in the demise of at least 20 local newspapers. Staying in business for us at the Two Row Times has always been a creative challenge, but we are thankful for our many advertisers who keep us in the game. Although everyone is reading information on their phones these days it seems that print isn`t quite dead. A recent survey in the U.K. says that 88 per cent of readers prefer to consume articles via print if possible, even though half of them do
own a smartphone. Readers seem to prefer the Two Row Times. We have a very low take back rate of three per cent. That means we get back very little returns because people are picking up our paper and taking it home with them. Indigenous issues are on the forefront of Canadian headlines so many of our readers are from places other than Six Nations! Print has a great cost. That means our pages have great value. And we stand by what we print. The Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) released a 48-page report last week by its Director Hazel Hill. In the report Hill discloses that hundreds of thousands of dollars of lawyer fees for Aaron Detlor were unaccounted for when professionals at KPMG performed their audit. This validates the calls by the community for transparency that were voiced through our publication. Remember way back in May 2016 when Hill took the floor at a HCCC meeting and accused the Two Row Times of being a part of a grand conspiracy to destroy the Confederacy? These claims weren't true then and aren't true now. If anything this report proves the Two Row Times was on the right track. We have always been proud of putting the truth, facts first, in print — out to Six Nations and beyond. We are grateful for your support and honoured to do the work.

Winter Festival of Lights The Canadian Government and Indigenous Children opinion
By Erika Glover We are living in what some call the “Millennial Scoop”. According to Statistics Canada, Indigenous children only make up seven per cent of the population, but are 48 per cent of children in the foster care system. Through a study at the University of Toronto it was found that in Ontario alone, Indigenous children are 168 per cent more likely to be put into foster care than non-Indigenous children. In many cases, Indigenous families are investigated for neglect and poor housing, due to the living situations on reserves, as opposed to maltreatment of children from their guardians. This is not surprising since on reserve Indigenous children are being funded 22 per cent less than non-indigenous children, according to a Globe and Mail report. It is clearly no secret that there are much more Indigenous children in foster care for unsubstantiated reasons, so why is the Canadian Government not doing anything about it? When you remove an Indigenous child from their family, less than half
of the children will be placed with a foster family who identifies themselves as Indigenous. By placing an Indigenous child with a family who does not have any connection to the Indigenous culture you’re allowing for this child to lose connection with their language, family ties, spirituality, and own sense of belonging. Many children in care are bounced around from home to home and do not have any sort of stability to rely on. So why is this still considered a better alternative? Rather than displacing Indigenous families, the Canadian government should implement funding for preventative measures. This can be done through before and after school care, breakfast clubs, employment workshops, access to transportation, and wellness centres for families to access affordable healthcare. With these preventive aids, child welfare agencies can help Indigenous families who live in chronic poverty navigate the resources they have available to them, and how to best utilize them to provide and care for their own child. Our Canadian govern-
ment needs to do their part in keeping our Indigenous communities together. The government can provide direct funding for preventive means to help keep Indigenous families intact. There is no justice in removing children from loving homes. With the recent Truth and Reconciliation Report out, the first call to action is regarding child welfare. It calls upon the government to reduce the numbers of Indigenous children in care by providing adequate resources to families, which has been outlined, as well making sure those who are on scene are properly educated. We need to have our social workers trained appropriately to best suit these situations. Indigenous children do not deserve to live their lives in foster care. Why are we allowing for people to live in such impoverished conditions, and yet continue to punish them by taking away their children. The “Millennial Scoop” we are in needs to come to end. It is time we bring justice to our Indigenous families. It is now up to the government to own their responsibilities and take action to do what is morally right.

LA RONGE, SK — A report about suicide among Indigenous youth in northern Saskatchewan says they feel bullied, sad and alone in their communities. One youth, who tried to kill himself twice by the time he was 12, told provincial child and youth advocate Corey O'Soup that he didn't really want to die. ``I was just trying to make everything stop,'' the boy named Shane said. ``I wanted to quit feeling sad. I wanted to feel like I belonged, or have a place, or no place at all. ``I felt like I was the problem and that I was the answer to fixing that problem.'' O'Soup interviewed 264 youth, as well as elders and parents of suicide victims in a dozen northern communities over the last year. His report was released Tuesday morning at a high school in La Ronge, Sask., and accepted by the Saskatchewan government later in the day. ``Our young people are amazing kids,'' O'Soup said in an interview from La Ronge. ``They are smart. They are inspirational, but they are also hurting. ``They really opened their hearts to us.'' One parent who lost a daughter to suicide told O'Soup the bullying was bad. ``She wasn't a slim girl, so she was teased about her weight and the way she looked,'' the parent said. ``Some youth said she was 'too fat to be their friend.''' The suicide rate for First Nations boys be-
tween the ages of 10 and 19 in Saskatchewan is six time higher than for non-Indigenous boys, while the rate for girls is 26 times higher. In October 2016, six girls between the ages of 11 and 14 committed suicide. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the time called it a ``tremendous tragedy.'' O'Soup's report said a way must be found to end bullying, increase supports for young people who are physically or emotionally abused, deal with drug and alcohol abuse and help Indigenous youth feel safe in their communities. He is calling on the province to develop a suicide prevention strategy with the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations and the Metis Nation - Saskatchewan. He also suggests the federal government must end inequity in healthcare funding for Indigenous children. Greg Ottenbreit, minister for rural and remote health, said the government is committed to accepting recommendations pertaining to the province. ``It is a challenge, we realize it,'' he said in Regina. ``It's not just a Saskatchewan challenge ... We're looking at a national issue. ``From the provincial point of view, we want to continue to work toward finding some answers, some successes in this issue _especially child suicide.'' Chief Tammy Cook-Searson of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band, representing six northern Saskatchewan communities, said it's a powerful
report. ``Something we've always wanted was to make sure our youth are listened to and that their voices are recorded,'' she said. ``They have a lot of concerns that they express and also solutions to the issues that we have, so this is really reflective of the youth voices in our community.'' Cook-Searson said a lot of work has been done in the last year to address bullying and abuse. ``But we recognize that we still have a lot of work to do,'' she said. ``We just want to encourage youth or anyone out there to reach out for help.'' The communities have already brought in more mental-health supports and youth support workers, although funding for that has run out. There are more hall monitors in schools and extra social workers in the community. She and the child advocate both said the report could help bolster those efforts if recommendations are addressed by the provincial and federal governments as soon as possible. ``Yesterday was too late,'' said O'Soup. ``It needs to happen today. It needs to happen tomorrow. There are things that the kids are asking for that we can do today, that we can do tomorrow. ``Our parents and our people in our communities can see the kids standing by the store as they walk by. They can say hello and they can ask how they are doing, and they can start right there, right now. ``That doesn't cost any money.''

SIX NATIONS – Sue Martin and the team behind this year’s Golf Fore Timbuck tournament distributed cheques last week with the money raised from the event to families dealing with lung and respiratory related medical issues. The golf tournament was started a year and a half after Sue’s husband, Timbuck, passed from lymphoma. Before he was diagnosed with cancer Timbuck had successfully completed a double-lung transplant in 2014. “Timbuck was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2011 and was given five years to live if he didn’t
receive a double-lung transplant,” said Sue. “He ended up having the transplant in 2014, after only being on the wait list for maybe seven weeks.” Sue said that the recovery process of surgery is extensive as this is very overwhelming as well as expensive. “When it came to travel costs, overnight stays and everything else, it all adds up. And it’s not like the regular bills go away either, those payments are all still due.” The tournament committee took the money raised and found community members who are going through similar experiences and donated money to them in hopes of easing some of the fi-
nancial burdens they are, or may be facing soon. Mike and Audrey Player received a cheque for their 14-year-old daughter Jadyn. Mike said that they will find an organization to donate the money to, or another place where the money can be well-used. “It’s such a great feeling,” said Mike. “Knowing that there are other people out there who care is so encouraging.” Jadyn was born with Down Syndrome and has endured many health complications her entire life. She was born with a club foot that required surgery to correct shortly after birth. Jadyn was diagnosed with an eating disorder called Pica at a

very young age and was also diagnosed as having ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Shortly after Jadyn’s birth, a large hole was discovered in her heart and she was referred to SickKids hospital in Toronto to address her heart condition. The large hole in her heart was repaired with open heart surgery when Jadyn was only two and a half years old. During successive return trips to SickKids and follow-up visits, it was determined that Jadyn had a very serious and usually fatal disease in children known as Pulmonary Hypertension. Jadyn has been fighting this terrible disease nearly her entire life and has become a frequent visitor to SickKids for the past 13 years. Jadyn has battled so many things her entire life and continues to smile in the face of adversity every day. Sue also gave a cheque to Breathe Easy, a group with Six Nations Health
Services that community members with respiratory issues. Katie Gasparelli was present to receive the donation. Jessica Henhawk also received a donation from the committee. She underwent a double-lung transplant in September and was given the same diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that Timbuck had. Lastly, the family of Beverley Thomas received a donation in her memory. Beverley was originally meant to receive the donation but recently passed. Her family; Erin Thomas and Brandon Thomas received the donation. Timbuck had a dream of helping people in the community who are going through similar things that he and his family went through. “It’s so encouraging to see all this taking place,” said Sue. “This is what he wanted and we’re so excited to be able to help the community this way.”

SUBMITTED PHOTO By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Marketplace is now open for business — your own personal businesses to be exact. The marketplace is a large open space in the Oneida Business Park building on 50 Generations Drive, divided into many small booths and the business celebrated its grand opening last Saturday, December 2. The indoor market will be set up as a small business incubator providing low-cost storefront space and technical assistance services to members of the Six Nations community. It will run three days a week, eight hours per day, all year long, manned by

one to two cashiers, to give small business owners more time to keep up their family lives and work commitments. If vendors wish, they are also welcome to stay at the market to tend to their stall during opening hours. “I had looked up some studies to see what kinds of businesses would most benefit the reserve and one of the top answers was a Wal-Mart,” said John General, owner of the marketplace. “I wanted our own community to be able to do the same thing Wal-Mart could do, without having to actually get a Wal-Mart.” General said the marketplace is an opportunity for small business owners to either get themselves noticed or continue to

flourish if already doing so. “We want to help by giving a voice and vehicle to our talented artists to get in the entrepreneurial mindset and become small business owners and to get their name out, grow their businesses, and receive the recognition they deserve.” General said the business is very supported by his family and that he is doing this mainly for his Fiancé Milissa Sandy and their five-month old baby Bryson. “My inspiration is my son, Bryson,” he said. “It’s all family that is on the team right now and they are all doing such a great job,” said General. The indoor market accepts cash, credit and debit cards, has a security system in place, an experience sales staff, and more.

Reading someone's mail:
Brant pressures government Researched and compiled by Jim Windle The following is a letter found in the Canadian Archives in Ottawa directed to an unnamed high ranking British officer, written by Joseph Brant in which he shows his discontent with the diminishing respect he and his people were getting from the settler government. The original is in Brant’s own handwriting and there are a few places where the document is damaged with time. Those indiscernible words are replaced here with (?), but the gist of the letter remains intact. MOHAWK VILLAGE – Dated April 13th, 1802, sent from the Mohawk Village on the Grand River. After opening with the usual courtesies of the day, Brant got right down to business.
Dear Sir: “I now take the opportunity of Count Joseph De ???, going to England, who from his attachment to loyalty has been led to seek an asylum in this rude country to communicate to you the changes that has taken place here since the year 1786 which I am sorry all sum to our detrimental divisions have been formed among us after the great trouble we had taken to unite the former tribes of the Indian Department have been changed since the formation of the new government of Upper Canada but what most materially affects us is respecting our lands on this river, granted us by Gen.

Simcoe Aiken giving gifts for Christmas By Tiff Thomas
SIMCOE – More than 250 less fortunate children in Norfolk County will have presents under the tree this year thanks to Aitken Chevrolet Buick GMC and 98.9 myFM. Aitken has been serving Simcoe and surrounding communities since 1922.
The family owned business is passionately and positively active within the community and that is evident with the Christmas Wish Program. Each year Aitken teams up with a local radio station to give gifts to children in need on Christmas Day. Community members are able to pick a child and
bring the child's desired gift to the dealership. This is the 14th year Aitken has done the program and works in conjunction with Children's Aid and local women's shelters. "The whole premise behind this program is that there are a lot of children in Norfolk and Haldimand
County who are living in conditions where Christmas isn't financially possible,” says Dealership Principal Linda Cripps. “This is our chance to bless others and it's a program everyone in the community likes to support. We would really like to thank the entire community for making this program such
a success". The Christmas Wish Program has helped more than 4500 children locally and continues to exceed expectations every year. If you would like to contribute, the end date to give a gift to the Christmas Wish Campaign is December 15th.

NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CHANGE TO A RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT By Nanticoke Solar LP for the Nanticoke Solar Project Project Name: Nanticoke Solar Project MOECC Reference Number: 1342-AKAJZA Project Location: The Project involves the design, construction and operation of approximately 44 MW Solar Electricity Project in Haldimand County. The site is located south of Rainham Road, east of Nanticoke Road and bounded to the south by Lake Erie. Dated at Haldimand County this November 30, 2017. Nanticoke Solar LP is planning to engage in a renewable energy project in respect of which the issuance of a renewable energy approval (REA) is required. The distribution of this notice as well as the project itself is subject to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act (ACT) Part V.0.1 and Ontario Regulation 359/09 (Regulation). This notice must be distributed in accordance with section 16.0.1 of the Regulation. This notice is being distributed to make the public aware of a proposed change to the project. Project Description and Proposed Change: Pursuant to the Act and Regulation, the facility, in respect of which this project was originally proposed to be engaged in, consisted of a Class 3 alternating current (MWAC) solar electricity generation facility.
Electronic copies will be posted on the proponent’s website: nanticokesolar.com. Written copies of the Draft Project Description Report and supporting documents were last made available for public inspection on July 20, 2017 on the proponent’s website and the Province of Ontario Registry (Environmental Bill of Rights Posting # 013-1104). Project Contacts and Information: To learn more about the Project, or to communicate questions, comments, and/or concerns, please contact: Ginny Ly, Project Manager 800 Kipling Avenue, Toronto, ON M8Z 5G5 Telephone: 416-231-4111, ext. 4138 Gillian MacLeod, Senior Environmental Advisor 700 University Avenue, Toronto, ON M5G 1X6 Telephone: 416-592-3481 Fax: 416-592-3489 Project Email: info@nanticokesolar.com Project Website: nanticokesolar.com
A change is being proposed to the project. The change consists of a slight change in the Site Location Plan as a result of optimizing the layout of the project on the subject lands. There will be no alteration to the project boundaries or environmental buffer areas (i.e., significant woodlot, wetland, and watercourses). The most significant change that has resulted from optimizing the project layout is that the northeastern parcel of lands, north of the large environmental buffer area, will not be required for the project. Optimizing the layout has also resulted in a slightly altered interior road network. If approved, this facility would have an approximate name plate capacity of 44 MW. The project location, taking the proposed change into account, is described in the map on the right. Nanticoke Solar has been required to update the Acoustic Assessment Report and to draft a project Modifications Report, which are required to form part of the application. Written copies of these two (2) draft supporting documents will be made available for public inspection on November 30, 2017 at the following locations: Haldimand County Municipal Offices, Cayuga Administration Building 45 Munsee St. North, Cayuga, ON Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 905-318-5932

Consultation Office: Six Nations of the Grand River, Haudenosaunee Confederacy / Development Institute (HDI) and Mississauga of New Credit
The proposed site for the project is located on lands within Haldimand County.

Trump's order disrespects native people By Michelle L. Price And Brady McCombs (AP) SALT LAKE CITY — President Donald Trump's rare move to shrink two large national monuments in Utah triggered another round of outrage among Native American leaders who vowed to unite and take the fight to court to preserve protections for lands they consider sacred. Environmental and conservation groups and a coalition of tribes joined the battle Monday and began filing lawsuits that ensure that Trump's announcement is far from the final chapter of the yearslong public lands battle. The court cases are likely to drag on for years, maybe even into a new presidency. Trump decided to reduce Bears Ears — created last December by President Barack Obama — by about 85 per cent

STARTING AT $60.00
and Grand Staircase-Escalante — designated in 1996 by Presi-dent Bill Clinton — by nearly half. The moves earned him cheers from Republican leaders in Utah who lobbied him to undo protections they considered overly broad. Conservation groups called it the largest elimination of protected land in American history. The move comes a week after tribal leaders decried Trump for using the name of a histor-ical Native American figure as a slur. On Nov. 27, Trump used a White House event honouring Navajo Code Talkers to take a political jab at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat he has derisively nicknamed ``Pocahontas'' for her claim to have Native American heritage. ``It's just another slap in the face for a lot of us, a lot of our Native American brothers and sisters,''
Navajo Nation Vice-President Jonathan Nez said. ``To see that happen a week ago, with disparaging remarks, and now this.'' Trump also overrode tribal objections to approve the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines. The Navajo Nation was one of five tribes that formed a coalition that spent years lobbying Obama to declare Bears Ears to preserve lands home to ancient cliff dwellings and an estimated 100,000 archaeological sites. Native Americans visit the area to perform ceremonies, collect herbs and wood for medicinal and spiritual purposes, and do healing rituals. A lawsuit from the coalition of the Hopi, Ute Indian, Ute Mountain Ute, Zuni tribes and Navajo Nation was filed late Monday night.

AFN Youth Council says organization assuming authority “diminishes our treaty rights” By Nahnda Garlow OTTAWA — AFN’s Youth Council issued a strong admonishment to the AFN’s special assembly Tuesday morning in Ottawa — stop assuming power over individual First Nations communities. The Youth Council’s co-chair, and Six Nations Elected Councillor Mark Hill delivered the message with the presence of the youth council standing behind him in support. “The centralization of the power and authority that the Assembly of First Nations assumes over our First Nations communi-
ties diminishes our treaty and inherent rights to reaffirm our relationships directly with the Crown.” The AFN has long been criticized for assuming the role of a national government authority over First Nations communities in Canada. In actuality the AFN is organized as a national advocacy group and is tasked with paving the way to communication between Ottawa and individual First Nations community leadership. But the Youth Council asserted Tuesday that the AFN has taken far too much liberty in assuming authority over those communities when dealing
with federal officials. Hill spoke to the Chiefs in Assembly in Ottawa and reminded the group they are not a national governing body over Canada’s First Nations communities. Hill reminded the AFN Assembly, on behalf of the Youth Council, that the First Nations people do not belong to the AFN to be governed. The Youth Council says they are concerned with the direction the AFN is headed. “We believe in a future where our nations are sovereign and based on traditional governance structures,” Hill said.

AFN Chief says AFN more united than ever OTTAWA — Amid rumblings by critics on social media of troubles within the ranks at the AFN — and issues raised claiming the orgs overreaching authority and misappropriating an eagle staff, National Chief Perry Bellegarde began his opening address at the Special Chiefs Assembly with a clear message: saying the AFN is more united than ever. Bellegarde addressed the Chiefs in Assembly in Ottawa Tuesday morning, congratulating them on the advancements the AFN has made in ground work to implement the UNDRIP across Canada. Bellegarde touted the success of his ‘Closing the Gap’ agenda aimed at equal funding throughout Canada — amending funding disparities for the life of indigenous people on reserves and on reserve infrastructure. The two new branches
of indigenous affairs were also mentioned — Jane Philpott’s Department of Indigenous Services and Carolyn Bennetts Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs oversees the multiple facets of the nation to nation relationships indigenous people in Canada are pursuing with Ottawa. Bellegarde expressed a need for Ottawa to increase investments in education, housing, infrastructure, public welfare and band support funding — as well as an additional push for funding for indigenous policing. The national chief also stated the AFN is working towards an Indigenous Languages Act to be implemented with the help of Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly that the organization is hoping to get passed before the next federal election. Bellegarde also reit-
erated a call for AFN inclusion and at the First Ministers Meetings — something indigenous leaders have long critiqued — that Ottawa says they want First Nations engagement but merely presents leaders with seats at side tables during national consultation. Bellegarde says “participating in a side-meeting that is separate from the main event is just not good enough. In fact, it has to change and we will push for that change.” Other issues Bellegarde addressed are the need for supports for First Nations workers contributing to the economy, resource revenue sharing, NAFTA updates, child welfare and the crisis of MMIW across the country. Bellegarde called for expediting to the land claims processes.

Opportunities grow in digital media By Chezney Martin With the influx of media being shared through online platforms — video clips, documentaries and movies have become one of the most influential forms of quick and visual sharing. In other words — one of the best times to share the stories and voices of indigenous people is now and one of the best mediums to share with is through cinema. This prompted the CBC New Indigenous Voices (formerly NSI New Voices) which is a culturally-sensitive film, TV and digital media training course to expose indigenous people aged 18 to 35 to a plethora of challenging and creative employment opportunities. Headed by a faculty including the likes of Lisa Meeches, Ursula Lawson, and Kaya Wheeler, the 14-week and full-time course for 2017 began on

A New Frontier By Chezney Martin
For the Jason Momoa fans out there — a series that is taking yet another crack at historical accuracy and correctness is Frontier, which recently released its second season on Black Friday last month. The “Canadian-American” historical drama series is engulfed by events surrounding the fur trade, the Hudson's Bay Company and the influences of indigenous people in the 1700s.

The story kicks off with Michael Smyth (Landon Liboiron) being ordered by Lord Benton (Alun Armstrong) to venture out into the frontier after landing in the New World to find Declan Harp (Jason Momoa) who was responsible for the slaughter of some of Benton's soldiers that were situated at a remote outpost. Harp, who is part-Irish and part-Indigenous, is campaigning to breach the Hudson's Bay Company and its monopoly on the fur trade in Canada and is considered to be an outlaw. This is but the first of the power struggles surrounding the fur trade that the drama explores, and co-creators Brad Peyton, Rob Blackie and Peter Blackie are reaching for a third season to carry on the exploration for the Discovery Channel and Netflix.

A New Frontier continued design are reminiscent of some of the ventures in the video game version of Assassin's Creed, as French soldiers walk rounds in the open streets of James Town. The darkness of some of the scenes can also remind the viewer of the earlier instalments of Pirates of the Caribbean, while the opening credits wrestle with the opening for the Game of Thrones series with Cree singers thrown in. This called for the series to receive mixed reviews as some critics would have liked the pace to be more action and thriller paced, while others believed that the story and its accuracy took away from the performance of Momoa. But in a positive review by the Globe and Mail, John Doyle described the series as an “action-packed, uncomplicated and very entertaining yarn about the cutthroats who created this country by plundering it, when they weren't
busy killing each other." Doyle also commended the series as being “far from a whitewashed tale about the English, Scots, Irish and French battling out for possession of fur and land.” However, the story-telling has been called “sluggish,” as it doesn't suit the most patient of drama-viewers, but the content is nonetheless considered to be a portrayal of the chaotic and violent struggles of the time. Told from multiple perspectives within the series, the story takes place in a world where relations between Indigenous people and Europeans can erupt into merciless bloodshed and business negotiations can be resolved by close combat or hatchet fights. So, if you're looking to be entertained by a little history or to fuel up on some food for thought, the series holds a history that is itching to be experienced. RIGHT: Jason Momoa

'Call of Duty' designer says even if you made game, you can get crushed online By Neil Davidson (CP)
TORONTO — MacKenzie Bates helped create the multiplayer mode of ``Call of Duty: WWII,'' so he knows how to wield a weapon in the latest instalment of the hit video game franchise. But the 24-year-old Sledgehammer Games developer says he was quickly humbled when he went online after the game was released Nov. 3. ``It's always kind of sad when you've worked on a game so long and all of a sudden you release it and within a few hours you're getting stomped by other players,'' he said with a smile. ``And you're like, 'I should have every edge. I built this system, I know how the spawns work.' You felt so good about yourself and then all of a sudden you just get crushed. They just picked it up and they're just so much better at it.'' Gamers find ``things on the maps that you couldn't have imagined,'' he added. Bates was in town Friday for a Cineplex ``Call of Duty: WWII'' event. Cineplex will be hosting the ``Call of Duty: WWII'' WorldGaming Canadian Championship on March 3-4. Registration is now open and online qualifying begins Jan. 6. The top eight teams will come to Toronto for the March finals with $60,000 in prizes on the line. The winning team will also earn a berth in an upcoming ``Call of Duty'' World League event. Wim Stocks, general manager of WorldGaming, expects to see at least double the more than 200
teams that entered last year's event. The tournament, WorldGaming's third ``Call of Duty'' event in Canada, will use the new version of the game. Set in the Second World War, it represents a return to the ``boots on the ground'' roots of the game after several recent more futuristic versions. Gamers have responded. Activision, which publishes the title, reported that worldwide sales of the new title exceeded more than US$500 million in the first three days of its release. For Bates, part of the new game's success is its accessibility, with more predictable game play. ``You don't have to be always looking up in the sky, rotating around,'' he said. ``You can usually reliably say they're going to be attacking me from the front or this direction. I
think that makes it a lot more engaging for players, that they feel like, 'Hey if I mess up, I can learn from it.''' ``You can just pick (the game) up, like people could years ago when the franchise really grew,'' he added. ``Call of Duty'' has been around since 2003. Bates helped create the multiplayer framework in the game, from loadout to respawning. He describes it as creating the building blocks you can play with, before handing it off to level designers who come up with the maps. While the game is out, Bates's work is not done. ``It's a live product. And you have to keep on feeding the beast,'' he said. He is monitoring how the game is being played online, with Sledgehammer adjusting as needed. ``We'll tune weapons,'' he explained, ``If one gun
is what everyone is using, we'll bring it down a little bit. We're always looking to balance. We don't want it just to become everyone using this one thing because it's the best. That's not interesting, that's not fun. We want you to have creativity in how you play.'' A native of Avon Lake, Ohio, some 40 minutes outside of Cleveland, Bates was in fifth grade
when he saw his cousins playing ``Halo: Combat Evolved'' on the original Xbox. ``I had no idea what an Xbox was or what 'Halo' was. And I just knew that I wanted to do whatever that thing was.'' An advanced student, he took his first video game course at a community college while still in high school. He earned a degree in computer sci-
ence and arts with a minor in human computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University, where he served as president of the university's Game Creation Society. He worked on ``The Sims 4'' at Maxis and ``Halo 5: Guardians'' at 343 Industries before moving to Sledgehammer, located in the San Francisco Bay area, some 20 months ago.

Pro-Fit Corvairs stronger
The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs' Bobby Harrison has been a steady force with the team. So far this season he has 25 points in 27 games played. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – It’s hard to find superlatives for the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs again this season as they strive to begin a new string of Sutherland Cups. The three-year string was broken by the Elmira Sugar Kings last season and they want it back. Heading into this week’s games, Caledonia is the best team in the entire 26-team league with 47 points, for first in the Golden Horseshoe Division as well as the full league standings. St. Catharines is five points
behind, in second place. But even with a well-crafted racing car, every once in a while, there can be some kind of unexpected failure and it just doesn’t run right. To only look at the 2-1 final score one might think the Pelham Panthers really took it to the Corvairs, Sunday afternoon, but that was not the case at all. It was more a case of a very hot goaltender doing headstands against Corvair shooters all afternoon. Nicholas Kidd turned away 41 of 43 shots at him while Pierce

Charleson was given the start for Caledonia. Despite being outshot 14-4 in the first frame, Pelham came out with a 1-0 lead on Jared Hill’s goal from Thomas Young and Kurt Villani. Kidd was a stone wall in the second period facing 21 shots. Only Jesse Barwell was finally able to solve Kidd at 19:49 and the game was tied at 1-1 with Caledonia leading with 35 shots to nine with 20 minutes left. Isaac Taylor scored the 2-1 game winner at 7:40 of the third period from Barwell and Andrew Burns.

The Corvairs also won Saturday, Dec 2nd, 4-3 in another tight one for the Corvairs over the Niagara Canucks. The Canucks were looking to gain some ground against the Corvairs and gave them a good challenge, scoring the first goal of the game at 2:27, but Caledonia quickly silenced the crowd when Isaac Taylor tied the game at 3:33. Barwell scored the goahead Caledonia goal and Jeff Lindsay put a cushion under it by the end of the period. It was 4-1, Caledonia, after Bailey Fletcher opened the second period from Matt Weston and Isaac Taylor. But the Canucks were not in the mood to let the game go without a fight and came back late in the period with a power play goal to hang their hopes on at 19:56. After lots of chances in the third and no results it appeared the Corvairs were about to gear it down in the third and coast to victory but Canucks, Frank Pucci made a game out if it drawing to within one goal at 18:37, with an extra man. Brandon McCorriston shut down the Canucks’ push for the tie and the Corvairs hung on for the 4-3 victory. This coming Friday, the Corvairs are in Niagara Falls and Saturday they host the Pelham Panthers at the Haldimand Centre Arena.
Cameron Sault continues his torrid pace with just shy of two points per game so far this ACH Sr. Hockey season. He is third across the league with 15 points in eight games played. What is even more amazing is that he is doing it with a last place team, the Brantford Blast. PHOTO
Blast still looking up BY LYAN PHOTOGRAPHY

BRANTFORD – The Brantford Blast eeked out a 1-0 win over the Hamilton Steelhawks at the Mountain Arena in Hamilton Friday night. It was a battle of the goaltenders all night long with 74 shots taken in total and only one of them scored. Brantford’s Brett Leggat stopped all 40 shots for the shutout win while Hamilton’s Colin Dunne stopped 33 of the 34 shot directed at him. It was a close checking affair with lots of goal-
mouth action and great defensive plays with sparkling goaltending. The only goal and game winner came at 4:30 of the second period when Joel Prpic scored for Brantford, shorthanded, from Derek Medeiros and Jacob Ledyard. This coming Friday, Dec. 15th, the Stoney Creek Generals invade the Brantford and District Civic Centre for a 7:30 p.m. start. Saturday they take the show on the road to Whitby to face the Dunlops in a 6:30 p.m. start.

Hagersville Hawks can’t buy a win By Jim Windle
HAGERSVILLE —The Hagersville Hawks are trying, but just can’t find that one goal or one save to turn a game around. At present, they are second to last place in the Jr. C with a dismal 7-23-20 record. But they put a little real estate between themselves and the hapless Simcoe Storm who have a 2-22-1-2 record for last place. But looking up the standings the next rung on the ladder to achieve is to overtake the Dunnville Mudcats who have eight wins against 13 losses, two ties, and an OT-single point loss and sit three points ahead having played two more games than Hagersville, who could overtake them this coming week. After that, it’s only a one point step to reach the Niagara Riverhawks currently in fifth place, so there still is hope. Last week’s games included a 2-1 Hag-Hawks win over Dunnville, Dec. 1st, and a 3-2 loss to the Dundas Blues. Saturday night against
The Hagersville Hawks are finding it hard to put two consistent games together so far this year. The effort seems to be there but good luck has not visited the Hagersville Hawks dressing room more than once or twice. The rest of the season has not gone well but there is still time to turn the team around. One great goal or sensational save could be the catalyst of chance. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE the Blues, Hagersville controlled the puck most of the game, outshooting Dundas, 40-29, but came out on the short end of a 3-1 final score. Ralph Taggart registered Hagersville’s only goal of the game, scored on a Hagersville power play at 11:51 of the second period. Scoring for Dundas were Liam Donnelly,
Chris Cudek and Steve Bell, the last two, shorthanded. Friday was a better showing for the Hawks as they downed the Dunnville Mudcats 2-1 in Dunnville. All the scoring was done in the second period when the sputtering Hagersville power play came to life, scoring two extra-man goals. That
Knighthawks fall to Swarm in preseason finale
By Craig Rybczynski SIX NATIONS — The Rochester Knighthawks dropped their preseason finale, 12-5, to the Georgia Swarm Saturday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) in Six Nations. Rochester finished its exhibition schedule with a 2-1 record, while Geor-
gia improved to 1-1. Josh Currier led the Knighthawks with two goals to finish the preseason with three goals and one assist. After missing the final six games of last season with an injury, the second-year pro has made great strides to get ready for the 2017-18 campaign. “It’s been nice to get back out there playing,” he said. “I am starting to feel great again.” Rochester got on the board at 14:11 of the second quarter when Currier whipped a shot to the far pipe. The power-play tally, which cut the deficit to 4-1, was assisted by Dan Dawson and Kyle Jackson. His second of the contest was a backhander mid-
way through the second quarter that eluded Mike Poulin. Rochester also received goals from Austin Shanks, Cory Vitarelli and Jackson, who finished the contest with three points (1+2). Dawson, who assisted on Jackson’s goal, ended the night with a pair of assists. In goal, the Knighthawks were backstopped by 32 saves from Matt Vinc, and five from Angus Goodleaf. In one week, Rochester opens the regular season season on Saturday, Dec. 9 against the Calgary Roughnecks. Faceoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross Arena.
after Hart Cargo opened the scoring at 1:45. Nick Visser scored at *:26 with Nick Blake off, serving time for cross-checking. Then at 13:40, the winning goal was scored by Taggart with the man advantage. There was no scoring in the third period and the Hawks hung on for the much needed win. This coming week, the Jr. “C” Hawks will have to bring their “A” game when they travel to Glanbrook to challenge the first place Rangers who have lost only one game this season. Saturday night, they are at home to the Port Dover Sailors.
Brantford’s Henrique joins Montour in Anaheim By Jim Windle
ANAHEIM – Brandon Montour of Six Nations and Brantford’s Adam Henrique were united in Anaheim this past week following a trade that brought the Brantford born forward from New Jersey to Anaheim in exchange for rushing defensemen Dami Vataren and a conditional third round draft choice. The Ducks are well equipped with rushing defensemen and it was a sure thing the Ducks would jettison someone on the back line. Henrique, age 27, brings

Henrique in Anaheim continued "I was shocked, obviously," Henrique told Sportsnet. "The initial shock has worn off and I'm excited to join the guys on the road and get the new chapter started. “It's a winning organization," Henrique said of the Ducks. "When everyone returns from the injuries, it's going to be a scary team making a push this year." It didn’t take long to fit in. Henrique joined Montour and the Ducks on the road Thursday Nov.30 in a deal that also sent Joseph Blandisi to Anaheim. His first assist as a Duck came at 2:32 of the second period against the Columbus Blue Jackets when he set up Kevin Roy. Although the Ducks lost the game 4-2, Henrique didn’t take long to get his “Duck-legs” under him. He scored on a perfect set up from Montour against Nashville in his second game with his new team. The final result was an 4-3 OT loss, but once again, Henrique showed his worth, scoring his first goal in Anaheim when, on a line with Montour, Henrique scored with a one-timer from the centre slot. Montour had a good scoring opportunity himself but saw Henrique alone in the slot and instead faked a shot and sent a perfect pass to Henrique who beat Pekka Rinne for
his first Duck’s goal. Montour missed some ice time last week with an elbow injury he sustained late in last Monday’s game, but was back in the line-up just in time for Henrique’s goal. In the third period, Cam Fowler scored for Anaheim and Calle Jarnkrok for Nashville to send the game eventually into a shoot-out which Nashville won for the extra point. Henrique was given a chance in the shootout but was stopped. As of Sunday, the Ducks were four points out of first place in their division with their next outing set for Tuesday against the new Las Vegas Golden Knights on the west coast in a game that will miss our deadline. The Ducks host the Ottawa Senators Wednesday, and the Minnesota Wild Friday, Dec 8, and the Carolina Hurricanes, Monday Dec. 11. Henrique is in the fifth season of a six-year contract with an average annual value of $4 million. He knows Ducks defenseman Montour, who also hails from the Brantford area at Six Nations. The two took part in Hockey Night in Brantford this past summer — an annual charity game that helped raise money for those in need across the Brantford community.

Navajo fighter wins UFC women’s flyweight title By Jim Windle
LOS ANGELES – Navajo fighter, Nicco Montano, the 14th seed on The Ultimate Fighter 26 tournament, became the inaugural UFC women’s flyweight champion last Wednesday, defeating her hero, veteran Roxanne Modafferi in a unanimous decision. “I love Roxanne, she’s been an inspiration since before I even started fighting, and to share this experience with her was awesome,” said Montano (4-2), fighting out of Albuquerque. Modafferi used her experience in the first round to set the pace. But as the fight wore on, Montano began landing the cleaner and harder shots, also scoring with takedowns against Modafferi who is known for her jiu-jitsu skills. “I feel amazing, I’m so lost for words right now,” Montano told MMA News Magazine. “I can’t thank my coaches enough right now.” Gracious in her loss Madafferi gave kudos to Montano, saying, “Nico’s awesome, she’s so talented, I can’t say enough about her, I gave it my all and I was in shape.” I wasn’t revealed until following the fight, but Montano nearly backed out of the fight, admitting

to a broken foot she sustained in an earlier bout. "Yesterday, my heel was coming off the ground," she said. "I thought I wasn't going to be able to fight, but you've got to have heart and discipline if you're a fighter. You're going to get hurt.” Although Montano
was raised by her mother and mother’s side of the family in Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the U.S., she still kept an estranged and sometimes tense relationship with her father, Frankie Montano, a boxer turned boxing coach and promoter

who spent just about every waking moment at that gym. Nicco didn’t necessarily resent it; she just didn’t get it, she told Cagecult magazine. It certainly never occurred to her that she would one day become a champion. In fact it wasn’t until after her father died in 2006, that Nicco started turning towards the MMA. “When I did my first MMA fight, it was just like that’s when I really started to make that connection,” Montano said. “I didn’t even really think of myself as a fighter still, because I just took it as another tournament-style setting. “Now that I’m falling deeper into it, I’m really finding that he’s part of my motivation.” Looking ahead, Montano is expected to defend her new belt against Valentina Shevchenko.
