Naloxone saves an Ontario man from apparent opioid overdose SIMCOE — The overdose-reversing medication naloxone saved the life of man in Norfolk County who appeared to suffering from an opioid overdose. Police were called to a motel in Simcoe on Saturday afternoon after reports of a man in medical distress. After determining that the man seemed to be suffering from an opioid overdose, an officer administered three doses of naloxone.
The man regained consciousness and was transported to a hospital. Ontario Provincial Police say this is the second time naloxone administration has saved a life in Norfolk County. The Ontario government announced in December that it would offer naloxone to all of the province's police and fire departments as part of an effort to combat the rising opioid crisis.
“Where The Vision Is Yours”
Elected Chief Hill explains the $120 million casino deal By Jim Windle
OHSWEKEN – What will the Brantford casino deal mean to Six Nations and what did it cost? Two big questions regarding what could be a huge financial boon to Six Nations. Although the final few weeks of hammering out a new deal with Six Nations have been hectic, Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill and others have been lobbying in that direction for a very long time. The persistence has paid off with a no prejudice, multi-million-dollar deal that costs Six Nations nothing in return. “I have been complaining about us not getting anything from that casino ever since I became a member of this council,
that’s 13 years,” said Hill. According to her, that issue has been part of her tool-kit, which is brought up whenever and wherever she is in position to do so. “You look in the Brantford paper and you see every three months Brantford city is getting another infusion of $800,000 or so because they are the ‘host city,’” she said, “and we’re not getting anything.” The opportunity arose when Ontario sold off some of its Casino interests. “Then when I saw they were packaging up this bundle which includes Brantford, Mohawk, Flamborough, Elora, to private interests, I said, they have to come to us before they do that, because we have a valid
claim there.” After years of playing the shell game, being referred to other levels of government only to be sent elsewhere, Six Nations has finally secured a deal where the community will be benefited by $120 million throughout the next 20-years and without sacrificing or interfering with the existing land claim to the Gage Tract in any way. “It was all fast and furious in the end getting it done, but we have been working on it for a long time,” said Hill. The deal includes a one-time payment of $12.5 million, and then $4.5 million per year for the next 20 years. On top of that, if Six Nations ever wants to build its own, that can be done as well. And about the federal
land claim? By securing this deal, the Province is formally acknowledging that Six Nations does, in fact, still own the land the Casino is built on. That could be precedent setting in other land claims files as well. Confederacy Chief Allan McNaughton has voiced concern that the Confederacy was not consulted in the deal at all and therefor is not binding on them. “I don’t know what that means,” said Hill. “But I think the Casino deal is a good-news story for the entire community.” The Confederacy considers land use within the eight points of jurisdiction demanded by the Confederacy Chiefs years ago as the first step toCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – Community members of all ages participated in a day full of fun at the Six Nations Community Hall on Saturday, January 6, for the ENGAGE Epic LAN (Local Area Network) Party. Nearly 250 participants enjoyed prize giveaways, multi-player console games and much more while interacting with one another and creating new
friendships through gaming.

Roughly nine volunteers helped in making the day the success that it was; working hard behind the scenes to co-ordinate the event. Two Row Times Publisher Jonathan Garlow said the day is about connecting and having fun. Video games have a sense of nostalgia for him, yet he also stays current with at least some aspects of today’s modern gaming world. Garlow and his wife Nahnda co-ordinated the event. “The purpose of the day was for people of the community to get together and play games together,” said Garlow. “When I was a kid I remember there being an arcade where TNT is now, there
was one of those standup arcades there. And I really liked going there as a kid.” He said that after finding himself in video games and strategic games, he was given his first NES console in 1986. The sense of fulfilment that he felt by excelling at the games prompted him to help create a space for participants to enjoy them together and to bring back the multi-player interaction that often took place before online gaming. “[The LAN Party] was a place for people to fit in and also a day just to get together,” he said. “I think people from all walks of life play games so I think it's a good common denominator.

Elected Chief Ava Hill is looking forward to 2018

AUTO DEPOT
By Jim Windle
OHSWEKEN – Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill shared her thoughts towards this upcoming year. Its potential challenges and successes, from the Elected Council’s perspective. While recognizing the seemingly widening canyon between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) and the Elective system, Hill insists that as long as their council continues to invite dialogue between the two bodies and receives no response, the community must move forward, with or without them. “I don’t think we have a relationship with the Confederacy at this point,” said Hill. “Since I have been in this office I have written to them a number of times asking for a meeting together, and they have never replied. The last time we met with them was last May. Allan McNaughton said I never told him what I wanted talk about, but I did. I wanted talk about what we could work on for the mutual benefit of the entire community. That’s the last I have heard.” Hill challenges the Confederacy to help with the financial commitment to complete water piping to all residences on the reserve. “We know that they have been getting money and the need for water lines for the whole community, and the money they have been collecting is supposed to be for the community,” said Hill. “We wrote them in August to see if we could apply for some of that funding for the waterline.” “We’re going to keep on seeking funding to at least get water to everybody in the community. We’ve got that big water treatment plant that can service the whole community. “We are working hard with the federal government trying to get money because the schools are

FILE PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN federal schools. They own them and we are trying to at least get piping to I.L. Thomas School and O.M. Smith School. Also, down Fourth Line to the Oneida Business Park.” She also said that she would like to see something done in regards to wage parity to begin bridging that gap among Band Council employees. Sometime early this year Hill will be meeting with the senior staff to address wage parity issues and to come up with a plan to bring the wages between men and women doing the same job up to par. They will also be setting priorities for the future and the use of funds derived from the Brantford Casino agreement, using the input from those who have feet on the ground in various capacities, and will know better what those needs are. More advocacy visits to Ottawa will be on the agenda this year now that Canada has a Prime Minister who at least will listen to the longstanding concerns of Six Nations. “We took our senior staff to Ottawa a couple of years ago and I think it paid off,” said Hill. “Not only do we need their expertise, but it’s also a chance to teach some of our staff how to get up there and speak with parliamentarians.” Hill refers to a lot of needs within the community that need to be addressed which the Casino money will certainly help towards. What about the re-
lationship between the Elected Band Council and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council? Hill is not optimistic that the ice between the two will melt anytime soon. “Our door is still open and we have not heard back from them,” said Hill. “But we have to keep moving forward.” “I believe there is a role for everybody. It’s too bad that we can’t even get in the same room and talk about things.” Looking back at 2017, Hill points to an issue which almost everyone in the community can feel personally affected by — the removal of delivery charges to on-reserve hydro bills. “When I was told the delivery charges were being waved, it was kind of emotional for me because I had put a lot of work towards this,” she said. “And it wasn’t just for Six Nations, it was for every First Nation person living on a reserve in Ontario. We were the leader in this and it was Six Nations who did it. I have received a lot of thank you messages from other First Nations for it.” Hill advises, if you find you are still being charged delivery fees, look at your bill and see if you are being taxed. If so, call and get that fixed right away. “I know my bill has gone down 50 per cent,” said Hill. The exemption does not apply to band owned businesses and schools at this time, but Hill will be working on this in 2018.

OPINION
Gratitude for 2018 Editorial by Nahnda Garlow
The future of leadership on Six Nations is an exciting thought. Times are changing and First Nations across the province are catching up in technology and infrastructure bridging the gap for youth and young adults. And it is encouraging to know that, as messed up as the colonial system is, our political leaders and elected officials have been doing work to help level the playing field for the faces yet to come. That’s not to say the elected system, AFN or the provincial and federal governments are infallible. Everyone remembers the dreaded and doom-laden journey of the incinerator that was not an incinerator and the money invested and lost in that project. But it is important to acknowledge the positive work that has been done by those agencies to help correct historical and halt systemic wrongdoings. And the work that has been done in the last 10 years or so — by community members who work for local agencies to make Six Nations a better place. You can almost never go wrong by saying, thank you. For example, let’s take a moment to publicly acknowledge the work of Elected Chief Ava Hill last year that resulted in the delivery charges being removed from on-reserve residents Hydro One bills. That was, and is, a big deal for several families across the province. It might not

By Quin Staats It’s the season of resolutions! A new year comes with new promises that we make to ourselves, promises to stop doing things, or at least cut back. Yet, every year without fail, people find themselves doing the things they promised themselves they’d stop doing within weeks of their proclamation. Though I have made a few resolutions of things to stop doing this year, I decided to take a different approach as a whole for my New Year goals. My resolution for the New Year is to start doing things I wouldn’t normally say yes to. I want to expand my energies instead of completely focusing on containing them. I figured I would try to push the limits I already have set in place as opposed to creating more limits, hence exposing myself to new experiences. I’ve al-
Long Point lessons ways found it seems easier to adjust something then to completely stop it: re-route the momentum instead of ceasing it. It was New Year’s Day, and I was in a winter wonderland in Long Point celebrating with some friends. Now, I’m no Nancy when it comes to the cold and snow, but growing up on the reserve, I developed a deep rooted phobia of falling through ice into open water. As children, my siblings, cousins and I loved to run out onto the frozen ponds to play hockey or tag. One winter, my cousin fell through the ice into the frosty pond water, terrifying both the adults and kids that were present. It left a panicked memory with me for years, and a reluctance to gamble with walking on ice...no matter how far below zero it was. That morning in Long Point, the group decided to take a walk down to the beachside. I tagged along, intrigued, as I’d never actually seen the beach in the winter. Upon arriving at the beach, I was not prepared for the
breathtaking beauty that awaited me. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before. The beach was a mine field of snow boulders, as far as the eye could see. The snow and ice camouflaged into one platform, disguising the line between land and water. 200m out, the rough lake ice laid bumpy but flat up to the wall of a mini glacier mountain range, stretching across in a coast as far as the eye could see. There was solid ice leading right up to the cusp of where the water was turning into ice, and where the mini mountain range laid. The waves from the lake crashed up onto the side of the glacier range, and soupy, wet potholes littered the path to the edge of the ice. In order to get to the edge, you had to chance stepping on slushy, and questionable ice for a 200m stroll. Terrified, I gingerly edged my way across the frozen lake to the very cliff of the ice, where the waves crashed against the frozen wall that made the tiny glacier range.
When I reached the edge, I couldn’t make out the lines between the ice I stood on, the water under me and infront of me, and the horizon at my very toes. I felt like I was in the center of everything. And within pushing my limits in my fear of walking on ice was rewarded with a generously moving Nature Connection that I may have had never experienced otherwise. And with these great experiences, as always (at least for me) comes the “AHA” surprise metaphor and lesson for my own Human life journey… Just like any other living being or spirit, one must navigate very carefully in order not to plummet waist deep into numbing waters through a single weak pothole. But with thoughtful step and respect to the hosts fragility, we can reach the cusp of perfect beauty on the support of the ice itself. Through respect and consideration, we can experience a beauty we never even knew existed.

A letter to Lord Dorchester regarding Joseph Brant By Jim Windle
It is easy see that Lord Simcoe liked Joseph Brant just about as much as Brant did Simcoe - which wasn’t much. Here, Simcoe is scheming with Dorchester over how to control Brant and what opportunities the murder of Isaac Brant, at the hands of his own father, might advantage the Crown.
Dec. 22,1795: Your Lordship has not thought proper to give me the directions which I felt it my duty to ask you relative to the murder of Captain Brant’s Son — I consider it a fortunate circumstance that in at-
tempting to assassinate his father, this dangerous young man fell the victim of his own atrocity. I had determined to demand the murder, and meant in case of refusal, to have supported the Civic Power in his apprehension with the whole Military Force of the Country for which I had began reparations. It seems therefor to me to be most necessary that previously to withdrawing the King’s forces the Indian Agent should be instructed to make such terms with the Chiefs of the Grand River as mat ensure the delivery of all murderers particularly as your Lordship will see in my letter
no.4, not only the contempt with which Brant refused the deed of the lands of the Grand River, but that he renovated the Indian Custon of covering the grave of the murdered person which had been rendered obsolete by Sir William Johnson’s treaty and is totally inadmissible. I have long been long acquainted with Brant’s views of setting up an Indian Interest, separate from the control or influence of His Majesty’s Servants, and have thought them as dangerous as they are difficult to prevent, and among other more important reasons for my recommending the seat of government, and the sta-

ary 7, 2018 at around 8:30 a.m. a lone male entered a business and demanded money from a female employee. The suspect fled the store on foot last seen running to the trails behind the business with an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, mid-twenties, slim build, approximately 5’10 wearing a black toque, wearing a bright orange construction jacket with yellow vertical stripes and a scarf covering his face. The suspect had with him a black reusable grocery bag. Below are photographs of the suspect. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective David Minutillo of the Major Crime Unit at 519-7560113 ext. 2811 or dminutillo@police.brantford. on.ca
Fraud incident BRANTFORD – On Mon-
day January 8, 2018 a woman received a telephone call from a man identifying himself as an employee at her bank. The male advised that her bank account had been compromised and he requested that she allow him remote access to her bank account. The victim, a 61-year-old Brantford woman allowed him remote access to her bank account. It is believed that while this fraudster was accessing the victims account remotely he transferred funds from her credit line to her bank account and then pointed out to her that this was proof her account had been compromised. The fraudster who was very convincing advised her that the RCMP were very close to catching the thieves and requested that she withdraw $800 from her account and send to China via Western Union as this would greatly help their investi-
tion of the principal Body of the Troops, to be on the river Thames and its dependencies in September 1793, I stated to Mr. Secretary Dundas a “strong settlement in the vicinity (Long Point) would effectively sedate the Mohawks on the Grand River from the other Indian Nations and prevent what Brant once intimated to me in a letter, “the Six Nations becoming a barrier between the British and the Western Indians. But Sir, I never considered the establishment of the Capital at the place marked London on the force of the Thames as the Capital not only of Upper Canada, or LaTrenche but as the mart of all the in-
dependent Indian Nations; and in the present situation of affairs the extension of the settlement from it to Burlington Bay on the one side, to Long Point and to Chatham on the other, will in a short space effectually add the influence of Command over all the Nations within the British Territory, as I trust the King’s benevolence duly distributed, would preserve the foundations of affection and confidence which a long intercourse of benefits ought and I hope has established.

Burials in the Mohawk Chapel burying ground By Dr. David Faux / used with permission What follows is all of the known burials of Six Nations Members that took place in the Mohawk Chapel Burying Ground. While the Church was constructed in 1786 there was no resident minister until 1827 when Reverend Abram Nelles and assistants such as Rev. Lugger took up residence and ministered to the Christians of Six Nations. By that time there was an active Methodist Ministry around Davisville, and many Mohawks were members of this Church, and likely buried in its churchyard. Another problem is that it seems that while the Baptism and Marriage records kept by Rev. Nelles (who eventually became an Anglican Archdeacon) are intact, all of his burial records were burned in a fire in 1903. Some existing records are found in a supplementary book kept by Rev. Lugger, which seems
to have survived the fire — although few Six Nations burials are found in these records. The following records are from tombstone inscriptions found in the burial ground, and as well, from letters sent by Rev. Nelles to individuals such as Lyman Draper, who was writing a biography on Joseph Brant (never published). These letters date to the year 1879. Other sources are noted below. As far as I know there are no other existing burial records for the Mohawk Chapel. Burial Records: What follows is given by source.

I believe that many of the members of the Mohawk Chapel attended St. John’s Anglican Church, Tuscarora Township, from 1847, the time when the Reserve was consolidated. Hence many, unless they already had burial plots at the Mohawk Chapel, will have been buried at St. John’s. I have a copy of the St. John’s records and will check them when I am able to access this collection. An example of an individual who attended the Mohawk Chapel up to at least 1845 (Communion records of Rev. Nelles?) is Daniel Spring [Oghnawera].

NEW YORK — High on the job: that's what a new study said is happening in the country. The study from detox.com found 7 out of 10 employees have done drugs, while at work. The numbers came from a study that polled over 1,100 people around the country.
Experts say the use of performance-enhancing drugs like Ritalin, Adderall and stimulants is on the rise. The survey found a majority came from the retail and food service industries, with education and healthcare ranking third and fourth.

LONDON — Drinking alcohol raises the risk of cancer by damaging DNA, scientists have discovered for the first time, leading health experts to call for people to cut down on their consumption. Alcohol is contributes to more than 12,000 cases of cancer each year. Now a new study by the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge University, has found that when the body processes alcohol it produces a chemical harmful to DNA. The researchers found that acetaldehyde snaps the DNA of stem cells, permanently altering the genetic code and triggering cancer. Experts are calling the discovery ”very important" and urging people to drink less.

seems like everyone plays video games today.” Garlow said the community hall had a space set aside for: Lego, music, Super Smash Bros., Super Mario Kart LAN, Call of Duty, and a board game area for those wanting to participate but not play a video game. A Super Smash Bros. tournament was run by Josh Curley, who explained that last year he was approached by Garlow to help with this year’s Day of Play. “Jon has been doing Day of Play for a while,” said Curley. “He wanted to run a tournament last year and I said 'hey, I'll help you out.'” Curley said that Super Smash Bros., a staple in the Nintendo gaming franchise, has managed to withstand the test of time and player ratios continue to increase. “Super Smash Bros. is a game franchise that was
introduced in the ‘90s, like the late ‘90s for the Nintendo 64,” he said. “It wasn't until Super Smash Bros. Melee version that things started to pick up in the competitive scene. People were starting to learn about the game and learn about different techniques that they could do and people were using those techniques in tournaments and it just became like this huge thing.” Curley explained that the participants during the Day of Play Lan Party were using the version of Super Smash Bros. that is compatible with the Wii U console. He also determined that the Wii U version is easier to adjust to. “It's more open to players, whereas the Melee version was very technical in terms of having to know a lot of the ins and outs to be good at it. This one isn't as bad and it's more open to players so there's a growing fan
base.” Curley co-ordinated the Smash Bros. tournament in the best way for the participants depending on their numbers and skill level, and aimed at giving each participant a fair amount of play. “It's always great to be able to play with other people, because now online is always usually just playing with people online and you don't really get that connection anymore. I grew up on the Nintendo 64 which is like four players sitting beside each other and interacting with each other. So, that's what these tournaments help with; they bring interaction with players that will laugh or talk which is something you don't usually get online.” Engaging and interacting with other players was the main goal overall and its success in doing so has inspired other communities to do the same.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations is officially a shareholder in Hydro One. Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill confirmed SNEC has accepted the offer and is now a part of the limited partnership that holds shares in Hydro One. Just four Ontario First Nations did not accept the sale: Mississaugas of the New Credit, Chippewas of Nawash, Saugeen and North Spirit Lake First Nation refused. Those communities will not see future dividends from the investment and the remaining 129 First Nations that accepted the offer, including Six Nations, can expect to see funds in about five years, Hill says.

Get moving on removing Beyak from Senate seat, Angus urges Trudeau OTTAWA — Sen. Lynn Beyak — newly turfed from the Conservative caucus — is fundamentally unfit to represent the Canadian people, NDP MP Charlie Angus said Friday as he urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to use his influence to get her removed from the upper chamber once and for all. In a letter to Trudeau following Beyak's ouster late Thursday, Angus asks the prime minister to reach out to the independent and Liberal members of the Senate, among others, to convince them to ``use the tools of the Senate'' to finally put an end to what he calls an ``egregious abuse of public office.'' Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer kicked Beyak out of caucus after reports surfaced about letters of support she has posted on her personal Senate website _ some of which he described as containing ``offensive'' and ``unacceptable'' expressions of racism against Indigenous Peoples. The fact Beyak will continue to sit in the Senate is an affront to Canadian democracy, Angus suggests in his letter. ``These are not letters from constituents or an open dialogue on ideas,'' he writes. ``These letters are promoting an insidious negation of the lives, culture, rights and place of Indigenous people living in Canada.'' The letters _which remained on Beyak's Senate site Friday — date back to March, when Beyak triggered an uproar in the upper chamber by suggesting that some good had come out of Canada's govern-
ment-funded, church-operated residential school system. Most of them dealt with the history of residential schools, while others contained largely benign comments about Indigenous Peoples in general. But Scheer cited one in particular that suggested Indigenous people want things for ``no effort'' — a letter he said Beyak refused to take down. ``Promoting this comment is offensive and unacceptable for a Conservative parliamentarian,'' Scheer said in his statement. ``To suggest that Indigenous Canadians are lazy compared to other Canadians, is simply racist.'' Angus, for his part, made it clear he doesn't believe Beyak should be able to continue to sit in the Senate, which he says lacks the necessary system of checks and balances to properly deal with the situation. ``In terms of what can be done now in the absence of any clear tools of accountability, I would remind you that as prime minister, your words carry an enormous moral weight,'' he writes. ``If reconciliation is to be made real, government institutions must not be undermined by those spreading an agenda of such clear malice and falsehood.'' Beyak could not be reached for comment following Scheer's decision. Emails to her office went unanswered Friday and the voicemail box at her Senate office proved full. Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett expressed disappointment at how long it took Scheer to kick Beyak
out of the caucus, saying the delay allowed her to use her position to espouse her ``ill-informed and offensive views'' of history. ``Although Sen. Beyak has been finally removed from the Conservative caucus, it is more disappointing that her appointment by the Conservatives allows her to continue to use parliamentary resources to validate the views of those who refuse to accept the truth and propagate the misinformation and prejudice that continue to feed racism in our country,'' Bennett said in a statement. In was in March 2017 that Beyak suggested residential schools were not all bad. ``I speak partly for the record, but mostly in memory of the kindly and well-intentioned men and women and their descendants — perhaps some of us here in this chamber — whose remarkable works, good deeds and historical tales in the residential schools go unacknowledged for the most part and are overshadowed by negative reports,' she said. That led to a chorus of calls for Beyak to step down from the committee. Indigenous leaders in Manitoba and northern Ontario were unequivocal in calling for Beyak to quit. ``Her unparalleled praise of residential schools and smears of all First Nation leaders is not acceptable,'' said Sheila North Wilson, a grand chief of an organization representing First Nations in northern Manitoba. Nishnawbe Aski Na-
tion Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler called Beyak's comments a national insult and unacceptable coming from a member of the Senate. And, in an open letter to Beyak, the Anglican Church of Canada said that whatever good may have taken place, ``the overall view is grim. It is shadowed and dark; it is sad and shameful.'' Beyak, who was appointed to the Senate by former prime minister Stephen Harper in 2013, was expelled from the Senate's committee on Aboriginal Peoples about a month later by former party leader Rona Ambrose. But last September, Beyak issued a letter calling for First Nations people to give up their status cards in exchange for a one-time cash payment and said they could then practise their culture ``on their own dime.'' Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission spent six years examining the legacy of the government-funded, church-operated schools, infamous hotbeds of abuse and mistreatment that operated from the 1870s to 1996. The result was the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which was reached after residential school survivors took the federal government and churches to court with the support of the Assembly of First Nations and Inuit organizations. It was designed to help repair the lasting damage caused by the schools, and — in addition to compensating survivors — to explore the truth behind the program.
Alberta to hold public sessions to gather information for '60s Scoop apology EDMONTON — Alberta is crafting a formal apology to Indigenous people for the infamous '60s Scoop. Children's Services Minister Danielle Larivee says the government will hold six sessions around the province starting later this month to hear from survivors. Larivee says the information will form the foundation of a formal government apology and guide future actions on reconciliation and healing. Starting in the 1960s, an estimated 20,000 Indigenous children were taken by child-welfare agents and put into the care of non-Indigenous families in Canada and the United States. They were taken on the premise that they would receive better care, but were instead stripped of their language, culture and traditions. Many survivors have also said they were abused by their adoptive families. In 2015, Manitoba became the first province to formally apologize for the trauma suffered by children removed from their homes. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has said he is ready to apologize at any time or place chosen by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations that rep-
resents First Nations in the province. But he doesn't agree with the federation's request for provincial compensation. The federal government has already pledged to pay up to $800 million to Indigenous survivors across Canada. All the Alberta sessions are open to the public, but anyone who can't attend can submit thoughts and ideas online. Larivee says the meetings are critical. ``Healing can only begin when we truly understand this heartbreaking historical injustice,'' she said Thursday in a news release. ``That's why we need to listen to survivors and families about what a meaningful apology should look like. ``These sessions are an important opportunity to learn from survivors about how the '60s Scoop has impacted Indigenous communities and inform the actions we will take moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation.'' Sessions are to begin Jan. 18 in Peace River and continue Feb. 1 in St. Paul, Feb. 7 in Fort McMurray, Feb. 14 in Lethbridge and Feb. 21 in Calgary. The last one is slated for March 1 in Edmonton.

Judge won't delay Dakota Access shooting suspect's trial By Blake Nicholson (AP) BISMARCK, ND — A judge refused to delay and limited the scope of the upcoming trial of a Denver woman accused of shooting at law officers during protests in North Dakota against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland says he considers the case involving Red Fawn Fallis ``far from complex'' and that any attempt by either side to broaden testimony ``would be ill-advised.'' The judge issued a decision Tuesday saying he would not allow any discussion about treaty agreements between the U.S. government and Native American tribes; protest activity in the months leading up to Fallis' Oct. 27, 2016, arrest; or whether the protest was necessary to prevent a greater harm. Pipeline opponents, including four Native American tribes, fear a leak could cause catastrophic environmental harm. The Texas-based developer says its
pipeline is safe. ``Although the amount of discovery (evidence) disclosed to date is extensive, as are the demands for additional discovery, the reality is that the heart of this case rests upon less than five minutes of chaotic activity,'' Hovland wrote. Fallis' arrest was among 761 that authorities made between August 2016 and February 2017, when at times thousands of pipeline opponents gathered in southern North Dakota to protest the $3.8 billion project to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois. Fallis is accused of firing a handgun three times at officers during her arrest. No one was injured. She has pleaded not guilty to federal civil disorder and weapons charges and is to stand trial beginning Jan. 29 in Fargo. If convicted of all counts she would face a minimum prison sentence of 10 years and the possibility of life behind bars. Hovland rejected the request of Fallis' attorneys to delay the trial
for three months as they attempt to gather more information from the government. Their requests include details about an FBI informant the defence maintains infiltrated the protesters' camp and ``initiated and maintained a duplicitous 'romantic' relationship with Ms. Fallis.'' Her attorneys allege the gun belonged to the informant, not to Fallis, and that she has a right to information about ``the role he played in the creation and support of the civil disorder alleged by the government, as well as his role in the events'' surrounding Fallis' arrest. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hagler asserts the government has shared the evidence it has — 780 videos, 167 audio recordings, 5,750 images and 2,188 pages of documents — and that the defence request for more is ``overbroad'' and ``overreaching.'' He also states that ``defendants' reference to the FBI informant as some sort of complex issue is misplaced.''
OTTAWA — Sen. Lynn Beyak, who famously declared ``some good'' came out of Canada's residential schools, was removed from the Conservative Party caucus after refusing to remove a ``racist'' comment from her website, Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer said Thursday . Scheer said in a statement that he had learned on Tuesday that Beyak had posted approximately 100 letters from Canadians in support of her position on residential schools to her Parliamentary website. He said the vast majority of letters focused on the history of residential schools, while others contained comments about Indigenous Canadians in general. The Conservative leader said he had asked Beyak to remove one of the letters that suggested Indigenous People want to get things for ``no effort'' and she refused, resulting in her removal from cau-
cus. ``Promoting this comment is offensive and unacceptable for a Conservative Parliamentarian. To suggest that Indigenous Canadians are lazy compared to other Canadians, is simply racist,'' he said. ``As a result of her actions, Conservative Senate Leader Larry Smith and I have removed Sen. Lynn Beyak from the Conservative National Caucus. Racism will not be tolerated in the Conservative caucus or Conservative Party of Canada,'' Scheer said. In was in March 2017 that Beyak suggested residential schools were not all bad. ``I speak partly for the record, but mostly in memory of the kindly and well-intentioned men and women and their descendants — perhaps some of us here in this chamber _ whose remarkable works, good deeds and historical tales in the residential schools go unacknowledged for the most part
and are overshadowed by negative reports,' Beyak said. That led to a chorus of calls for Beyak to step down from the committee. Indigenous leaders in Manitoba and northern Ontario were unequivocal in calling for Beyak to quit. ``Her unparalleled praise of residential schools and smears of all First Nation leaders is not acceptable,'' said Sheila North Wilson, a grand chief of an organization representing First Nations in northern Manitoba. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler called Beyak's comments a national insult and unacceptable coming from a member of the Senate. And, in an open letter to Beyak, the Anglican Church of Canada said that whatever good may have taken place, ``the overall view is grim. It is shadowed and dark; it is sad and shameful.''
Senator removed from Tory caucus over 'racist' post on website Beyak, who was appointed to the Senate by former prime minister Stephen Harper in 2013, was expelled from the Senate's committee on Aboriginal Peoples about a month later by former party leader Rona Ambrose. But last September, Beyak issued a letter calling for First Nations people to give up their status cards in exchange for a one-time cash payment and said they could then practise their culture ``on their own dime.'' Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission spent six years examining the legacy of the government-funded, church-operated schools, infamous hotbeds of abuse and mistreatment that operated from the 1870s to 1996. The result was the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which was reached after residential school survivors took the federal government and churches to

Alternative culture explained By Chezney Martin
SIX NATIONS – Goth, punk, hippie, grunge, emo, metal; if you're alive and well today you've probably taken part in one of these alternative sub-cultures or know someone that has. So, what would draw someone to a certain subculture? YouTuber Hello Batty, a renowned cosplay artist and Lolita style goth, explained in one of her videos that the gothic subculture in particular came out of the desire to be unique. “The only reason that 'goth' popped up as a subculture was because of young kids rebelling and being different,” said Batty. “And in our subculture, there's always going to be young kids rebelling and being different and that's a good thing and it keeps us growing and it's exciting to see what new things are going on.” The same goes for many of the other subcultures. Alternative culture and its many subs began as early as the 1920s during the revolution of the flapper girls, but as each deviates from the norm these cultures, subcultures, and counter-cultures have been fuelled by the “merch” provided by certain shops. Rather than having it sold in mainstream outlets. But being different does have its downside, as pastel goth and YouTuber Julia Zelg explained to her subscribers how she feels about having her appearance put under scrutiny for simply being different. “'You'd be so pretty if you didn't dress like that.' Excuse me, that's so offensive because if I'm wearing these clothes it's obvious that I like the
YouTube cosplayer artist Hello Batty says she has a desire to be unique. SUBMITTED PHOTO way they look,” said Zelg. “I feel prettier like this than I would with 'normal clothes,' and more important than that; I don't care if you think I'm pretty or not. I'm dressing like this for myself, not you.” Yet, within indigenous communities the connection to these unique subcultures has reached far and wide as many enjoy the outlet of being different. Retail chains such as Hot Topic, Spencers, and Green Earth offer the desired merch for each of the aforementioned cultures. From rock and heavy metal band posters, to anime t-shirts and reminiscent jewelry of old cartoons; the shops help to keep each of the cultures fresh by providing unique pieces of memorabilia. The closest of the shops to Six Nations are located in the Limeridge Mall in Hamilton, and
many take advantage. “I think they're all great stores — they all have really neat and interesting stuff,” said Six Nations Resident Jasinda Martin-Abel, 22. “I feel good vibes and more in my comfort zone [when I'm in stores like that], and it really draws in my attention because there's always so much to look at.” Martin-Abel believes that her own style of dressing isn't “hardcore” as in the case of a goth or emo style, but it is a subtle mixture of grunge and punk as she will wear spacers in her ears, ripped jeans and band t-shirts regularly. This is what makes the commute to the mall worth it. “Hot topic and Spencer's help with my style in a way that lets me fuse with my favourite bands or artists,” she said. “It's more of how they make
their clothing and how it looks on me too. If I catch an idea by looking at a shirt, I can think of ways to make an outfit and what can go with it.” She also incorporates a lot of select merch from the decor section to decorate and personalize her room. Bob's Burgers, Rick and Morty, Pierce the Veil are only some of her favourites as she has collected a variety of t-shirts, bags and accessories from the shops as well. But when asked about whether or not she would like it if the merchandise was sold everywhere rather than in select stores, Martin-Abel explained that she thinks alternative merch should stay away from main stream. “I do wish the stores would be everywhere instead of the merch being in every store. Cause that just takes away how unique and different the stores are,” she said. And what better way for subcultures born out of uniqueness to remain.

Atom Reps win 3-1 Pro-Fit Corvairs schedule lightens up for January By Jim Windle
Sunday afternoon's Atop Rep results have the Six Nations Blackhawks defeating the Tillsonberg Tornados by a score of 3-1 at the Gaylord Powless Arena. Goalie Memphis McNaughton put in another solid performance for Six Nations, while Nolo Squire and Mace Anthony, who scored twice, looked after the offence in the win.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY ACTION
CALEDONIA – The Caledonia Corvairs had a light week in the GOJHL Jr. B schedule with one outing in Fort Erie where the Corvairs won 5-1 at the Fort Erie Leisureplex Saturday. After a scoreless first period Josh DeFarias cashed in on a powerplay at 10:13 of the second, assisted by Jamey Lauzon, Bobby Harrison. Meteors’ Marco Lariccia scored on Brandon McCorriston to even the game despite only mustering two shots in the period. The Pro-Fit Corvairs opened up in the third period. Cal Davis scored at 1:28 for the Caledonia lead. Owen Lane notched back-to-back goals at 14:13 and again at 14:28. Jack Wieringa closed out the scoring short-hand-
ed and into an empty net for he 5-1 finish. The Corvairs amassed 51 shot on goal while the Meteors shot 20 at McCorriston. After 33 games played so far this season, the Corvairs are eight points ahead of second place Ancaster in the Golden Horseshoe Conference. Only Listowel of the Midwestern Conference have more points with 60 after 30 games but that was after 35 games played. Friday 13th, Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs face the last place Buffalo Regals in Buffalo. The Regals have one win and three OT losses against 30 losses. They will likely have a little tougher time, Sunday Jan. 14th, when the Corvairs travel to Welland to take on the Canadians.

ANAHEIM – The Ducks started the new year with a 5-0 showing over the Vancouver Canucks Jan. 2nd, and a onepoint, 2-1 shoot-out loss in Edmonton, Thursday, Jan 4th. Next up was the Calgary Flames, Saturday, Jan. 6th. It was a frustrating 3-2 loss for the Ducks after battling back from a 2-0 deficit. Michael Ferland ripped a snap shot past John Gibson at 7:51 which Mark Giordano added another at 8:35, to suddenly give Calgary a 2-0 lead. There was no scoring in the second despite several good chances but the Ducks made charge in the third, when Jakob Silfverberg scored his

11th of the season unassisted. Then, at 6:50, Ryan Getzlaf even the score. The tie held until 19:44 when Dougie Hamilton put the game
away with a wristshot, with 16-seconds remaining. Brandon Montour has been rather silent on the score sheet recent-
ly, but has contributed greatly to the Ducks’ string of wins. Brantford’s Adam Henrique has gathered five goals and four as-
sists since joining Montour with the Ducks, 17 games ago. The Anaheim Ducks will face the Kings in LA, Friday,
13th, and stay on the road to see the Avalanche in Colorado, Monday, Jan. 15th.

HAGERSVILLE — After an atrocious first part of the Jr. C schedule, the Hagersville Hawks are starting to play much better hockey as of late. Heading into December, the Hag-Hawks were solidly in last or second last place, suffering from a goals drought and inconsistent goaltending. Then, suddenly in December, signs of life were noticed. December 21st, the Hawks defeated Niagara 2-1. The taste of victory is sweet and the Hawks defeated Dunnville 5-3, two nights later. Grimsby was surprised 2-1 by the resuming Hawks Friday, Dec.29th, Simcoe 3-1 and Thursday, Jan 4, they found their scoring touch and downed Niagara again, 8-4. Saturday, Jan. 6th, the Hag-Hawks hit the ice at the Hagersville Arena with a bit of a well deserved swagger hoping to keep the winning streak alive against the second place Grimsby Peach Kings. But the magic didn’t last and the Hawks fell 4-0 at the hands of the Peach Kings. With the score now 4-0, due to a quick Kings’ goal 23 seconds into the third period, Hagersville started looking at leaving a message, even if they were about to loose the game. The period got rougher as it went on until Hagersville’s Keegan Cumming blew his cork completely at 15:20 and invited Grimsby’s Zak Duff to a dance, which was graciously accepted. Hagersville remains 10-points behind Dundas and Port Dover, who stand in the way of a run for the lead as the regular season closes out. Saturday, Jan. 13th, the Glanbrook Rangers invade the Hagersville Arena which will set up Sunday afternoon’s road game at 2 pm, against the Port Dover Sailors.

ALL back for another great season By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS – The Arena Lacrosse League opened its second season of operation after a great inaugural year of the winter sr. lacrosse league. The ALL filled the void left after the CLL, (Canadian Lacrosse League) folded. Saturday, January 6th, the Six Nations Snipers and the visiting Toronto Monarchs provided a lot of scoring and shifting momentum along the way in the 20-17 final score, in favour of the Monarchs. It was all Snipers in the first half of the first quarter as Danton Miller, Quinn Powless, Craig Point and Cecil Monture built a 4-0 lead. But at 11:13, the wind began to change when Jordan Critch and Brendan Muise cut the Snipers lead in half with late quarter goals. The usually dependable Briley Miller suddenly lost his mojo in the second quarter. Toronto scored at 17 seconds, 33 seconds, 2:57 and 5:37 to overtake the Snipers and end his game early. It made little difference. In all, Toronto scored nine second period goals while Six Nations added three, one each from Craig Point, Tom Montour and Wenster Green. With the score 11-7 for the Monarchs at the half, Toronto extended its lead to 18-9 by the end of the

PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE third quarter, but the Snipers were far from quitting. Wayne VanEvery turned it up for Six Nations, scoring the first two goals of the final quarter to make Sniper fans begin to believe again. Montour made it 1812, and Quinn Powless made it 19-13 before Toronto made it 20-13. Con-
secutive last game goals were scored by Stu Martin, Point, Vern Hill and Layne Smith made the score respectable but it was too little and too late to save the game. The ALL sophomore season began with the inaugural game of a brand new franchise, the Whitby Steelhawks, increasing the league to seven teams. Returning are the
Paris RiverWolves, St. Catharines ShockWave, the Peterborough Timbermen, Toronto Monarchs, Oshawa Outlaws and the Six Nations Snipers. Six Nations’ home opener was played December 29th at the ILA against the St. Catharines ShockWave which was a nail biter right from the start. The Wave got its season going with three back-to-back goals scored by Josh Becker, Brooker Muir, and Anthony Patterson. It was Vern Hill that stopped the bleeding for the Snipers with his first of the season assisted by Tyler Woodman and goaltender Bailey Miller to complete the first quarter with the Wave leading 3-1. With the home opener nerves settled down the Snipers came out for the second quarter loaded for bear. Veteran Craig Point started the Six Nations pushback scoring from Danton Miller and Matt Campbell and it was
3-2. Point then set up Ryan Callaghan for the 3-3 tying goal at 1:07. With the ShockWave still reeling, Pat Corbett gave the Snipers the lead, unassisted, 13 seconds later. TheWave got that one back at 3:16 to even the score at 4-4, before Jacob Crans put the Snipers up 5-4 from Tom Montour. Seconds later, Layne Smith pilled on with to make it 6-4 for Six Nations. The goals kept coming as St. Catharines closed the gap to 5-4 at 6:35. Point struck again at 7:16 from Miller and Campbell, and Rod Squire closed the half with Six Nations up 5-8 assisted by Marty Hill and a second goalie Bailey Miller’s second assist of the game. It was St.Catharines ShockWave’s turn to battle back in the third quarter, and they did by outscoring Six Nations 5-1 to take a 10-9 third quarter lead. Danton Miller accounted for the Snipers only goal of the quarter, assisted by Vern Hill.
That set up for a war in the final quarter. Patterson scored for St. Catharines at 1:05 to give the Wave an 11-9 lead. Point completed his hat-trick from Corbett and Wayne VanEvery closely followed by Layne Smith’s second of the night to even the score at 11-11. Two quick ShockWave goals for a 13-11 St. Kitts lead. Squire put the Snipers to within one but there was not enough time left of the clock to complete the comeback and the Snipers suffered its first loss of the new season. Elsewhere around the league, the Oshawa Outlaws defeated the league’s new kid on the block, the Whitby Steelhawks, 17-11. The Steelhawks lost its second game of the season to the Toronto Mornarchs 18-11. Paris split its first weekend of the year losing to Peterborough 15-12 before recording its first win in an action filled, 20-19 thriller last Friday, Jan. 5th.

McMaster University invites applications for the Director of the McMaster Indigenous Research Institute (MIRI). The institute was officially launched on 1 July 2016 (*details are available in Note 1). The Director will have an internationally distinguished program of research and teaching record in any area of Indigenous Research. S/he will be appointed (tenure track or tenured) at the Associate Professor or Professor level to one or more of the six faculties at McMaster University (DeGroote School of Business, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Sciences). The appointment as Director will be for a five year, renewable term. The Director is expected to raise awareness, attract substantial research support, educate and advance Indigenous research methodologies. S/he will emphasize and support community capacity building and research priorities, promote and foster innovation, collaboration and partnership, enhance existing research infrastructure at McMaster and build sustainable Indigenous research infrastructure. S/he will also be very active in the recruitment, mentorship and training of undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and work to build greater research capacity and strength in Indigenous research across all faculties at McMaster University - * Terms of Reference are available in Note 2. McMaster has a geographic proximity to Six Nations of the Grand River, the largest First Nation in Canada, along with a quarter century of collaborative work developing Indigenous educational and research programs. President Patrick Deane’s principles and priorities articulated in his “Forward with Integrity” open letter (*Note 3) to the University community include: cultivating human potential; adopting a multi-disciplinary perspective; and engaging our local, national, and international communities. Furthermore, he has given our researchers the mandate to “build on the work that has already begun to strengthen and support Indigenous learners and Indigenous scholarship”. Additionally, McMaster University is ranked in the top 100 of both the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. A medium-sized university, it nonetheless has the sixth-largest research income in Canada. It has a large, attractive campus, the interior of which is open only to pedestrians and cyclists, and is at the western end of Lake Ontario. The University is minutes from downtown Hamilton and the activities that a major city has to offer. Hamilton has been ranked among the top cities in Canada to do business and to invest. McMaster University has a strong commitment to achieving diversity among faculty and staff that reflects the multicultural makeup of our student body.
