BRANTFORD – Five students from Six Nations Polytechnic’s STEAM Academy made top three at the Canadian Powerlifting Federation’s High School Championship. The win means the students now travel upward to the World Champion-ships in Orlando, Florida this November. The students who competed were Kristen Tielve, Angelina Predojevic, Clayton Shipman, Braden Thomas, and Easton Johnson. All students par-ticipated in the 13 to 15-year-old age division. “Through a lot of dedication and hard work, our students have shown the country what they’re made of,” said James Medway, teacher at the STEAM Academy and head coach of the powerlifting team. “Resiliency, goal-setting, and determination are all aspects of what we teach them and we couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve achieved in such a short amount of time. This is just the beginning.” “The students have exceeded all of our expectations,” said Lindsey

Canada celebrates Tom Longboat Day with Six Nations Hundreds of participants enjoy great weather at the 19th annual run to honour prolific runner
CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Bill 120 was enacted in Ontario in 2008 to proclaim June 4 as Tom Longboat Day, and being the runner of his time, the Onondaga distance runner has been a source of pride in athleticism for his home of Six Nations. Longboat was born on June 4 in 1887 and passed away in 1949 at the age of 62. This year the Annual Tom Longboat Run has reached its 19th year. Over 400 participants flooded the Six Nations Community Hall grounds to take part as cyclists, runners or walkers could take part in a 5km or 10km stretch. Out of the students at the event, it was Jamieson Elementary School that won the school challenge trophy for bringing 127 students for the fun and active day. Six Nations Elected Council Chief Ava Hill noted that it wasn’t just community members that attended the run. “We have members from the Tom Longboat

Club in Toronto who have come here every year,” said Hill. “Tom Longboat has been very important to our community even thought he has been long passed away, he’s still an ambassador and role model for many people in our community and in the City of Toronto and else where.” She also mentioned that the Tom Longboat monument seated in front of Da-
joh, the Youth and Elders Centre, has been used as a reminder of Longboat as well as encouragement to strive for active living. “That statue was sitting at Harbour-front all during the Pan-Am Games in 2014, and we’re so happy that it could be brought back to our community to serve as inspiration to everybody that aspires to become a long-distance runner or to be physically
active.” Also in attendance at the run was Longboat’s great-grandson Will Winnie and his two children, Eliss and Theo Winnie. With the overcast weather taking care of the harsh sun, Winnie was quick to say that attending the event was “great.” “It was great and it was a wonderful day,” he said. “This is my second time doing the run and it’s just
been wonderful seeing everybody come out and run, and feeling the camaraderie is just great.” In high school, Winnie would run Cross Country, but in 2015 he was invited to run the Boston Marathon as part of a celebration of great Indigenous runners that took part in and made Boston Marathon history. “The Boston Athletic Organization called my
grandmother two years ago and asked if there was anybody that could run in the marathon and I was the only one that had actually completed a marathon before. So I did it, and it was a wonderful experience.” And the run hosted on Six Nations is now as old as Longboat was when he won his first Boston Marathon. Before his 18th birthday, Longboat ran his first race in Caledonia and never looked back as he pushed himself to become one of the most accomplished runners of his time, winning the marathon two years later. Although open to helping with putting the event on, Winnie also voiced his own appreciation for the event. “All of the hard work that people put into this event is wonderful, Cindy Martin does a great job with this and it’s just perfect to see everybody out and being active.” A Googie Doodle was also posted to the Google Search Engine Page for the day to commemorate the memory of Longboat.
Resiliency Conference tackles the Road Ahead

BRANTFORD — In accordance with 30 years of service, the Ontario Native Literacy Coalition hosted the first conference of its kind titled Resiliency: Embracing the Road Ahead, which took on literacy programming and resource options with powerful workshop educators and speakers from May 31 to June 2. The workshops were presented by 13 individuals of varying backgrounds and keynote speakers included President CEO of the Six Nations Polytechnic Rebecca Jamieson, Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day and University of Victoria Aboriginal Education Consultant Lorna Wanosts’a7 Williams. Performances throughout the conference were also provided by the work of Kaha:wi Dance Theatre’s Santee Smith and local Comedic Hypnotist Darren Thomas.

The importance and value of the conference was noted by Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, who said that the coalition itself is incredibly “valuable to our nations.” “It was a privilege and an honour to be here, simply because it’s not often that we get to spend time with people that are helping our community members,” said Day. “It’s through these programs that allow people to acquire the literacy that is
required, and that people are able to start their journey in a good way. And if we’re able to help at that place in our communities, then it makes individuals stronger, it makes families stronger, and it strengthens our communities and ultimately our nations.” And the spectrum of workshops and speakers filled the conference with food for thought and mindfulness rather than just strict program discussion.
Keynote Speaker Lorna Wanosts’a Williams used her time at the conference to uplift, as she explained that she spoke about the “theme of resilience.” “I talked about the fact that we’re far more resilient than we’re often given credit for,” said Williams. “But I also spoke about what I learned from a group of youth who attended a program, and about what it was that helped them to overcome the life challenges that
they had.” Williams noted that the conference as well gives feedback from different areas and she said that this feedback is “important.” “These conferences and gatherings are really important to share what’s happening and what they’re learning, and to share their stories. I was very happy to be a part of that a little bit this morning.” While Language Advocate Ienhotonkwas Bonnie Jane Maracle explained that through her workshop, she included pointing out the importance of oral, spiritual and traditional literacies. “I spoke about the fact that in the mainstream they call it ‘literacy,’ but within the indigenous peoples it’s all about our indigenous literacies,” said Maracle. “We have a much broader base on which we can develop all of our programming to benefit all of the literacies that we have, not only reading and writing and numeracy.”
Workshop Facilitator Kevin Martin, who also doubled as a volunteer photographer, used his experience as a Case Manager at Six Nations Mental Health to describe the relationship between spiritual health and mental health. “I did a presentation that was in regards to mental health and spirituality,” said Martin. “Looking at how society and people in general will view what mental health can be and also that what a person can be going through can be a mental health issue, but it could also be a more spiritual issue.” This offered a look into how mental health programming can evolve in a traditional sense, and Martin said that being able to share that understanding is beneficial in itself. The conference was a unanimous success in reaching levels of programming that are needed within indigenous communities.

Pot Shops & smoke shops what's the diff? EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW I was too busy drawing photo realistic Ninja Turtles at J.C. Hill to really remember anything from that era, but in light of the recent pot shop busts it makes me wonder how the Six Nations Police handled “illegal” smoke shops way back in the 90s when they first started opening up here on Six Nations. It would be very interesting to find out. Maybe we didn’t even have our own Police back then, I’m not sure. We didn’t have internet though. If anyone knows feel free to write me, jonathan@ tworowtimes.com. Police say they are only following the law when they arrest dispensary retailers here on Six Nations but doesn’t the Canadian government say that our smoke shop industry is illegal too? Are the Six Nations Police the judge and jury when it comes to choosing which Canadian laws
they will enforce and which ones they won’t? Maybe the Six Nations Police Commission has spoken against the dispensaries and the boys in blue are only doing their job. I don’t know. Of course Six Nations as an autonomous ally to the Crown should be in control of its own economy although we rarely get the opportunity. No matter what we do or how hard we try Canada is always there brandishing a billy club or a night stick, happy to shut down a gig. But this time it’s not Indian Agents or colonizers it’s our own people throwing each other behind Canadian jail bars. The systemic racism in Canada’s criminal justice system is proven by studies and statistics. That's why we are get Gladue and other helps. Before 1960 Indigenous people made up only one percent of the prison popula-
tion but today we make up a whopping twenty five per cent. That’s one quarter of Canada’s jail population although Indigenous people are only four per cent of the total population. Not only are Indigenous people more likely to be convicted but once convicted, Canadian judges act upon their biases and give Indigenous convicts harsher sentences time and time again. Does the Police commission consider that when they are charging dispensary owners with Drug Trafficking they are passing them over to the colonial courts for “justice”. Our current method of dealing with dispensaries isn't right. Putting hard working dispensary owners in jail isn’t our way – it's comes from Ronald Reagans War on Drugs, which in reality was a war on poor people.

Isadore Day on Indigenous History Month June is National Indigenous History Month. The recognition began in 2009 after a unanimous motion was passed in the House of Commons — one year after Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s historic Apology to Residential School Survivors on June 11, 2008, now ten years ago. Much has changed in the past decade in terms of the present history between First Nations, governments, and Canadians. The 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action have been promised to be implemented by all levels of government. There have been recent gains on addressing the First Nation child welfare crisis. The federal government has promised to end all Boil Water Advisories by 2021. However, on May 29 the federal government announced it is purchasing the Trans Mountain Pipeline for $4.5 billion. On the same day, the Auditor General reported that the federal government’s attempt towards improving life for Indigenous Peoples has so far been “an incomprehensible failure.” Also on the same day, there was the third reading of NDP Romeo Saganash’s Bill to ensure Canada has an implementation action plan for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples. The contrast cannot be more extreme. The federal government is going ahead with a pipeline that is opposed by many First Nations from BC to Atlantic Canada. At the same time, UNDRIP calls upon all government to obey the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) when dealing with Indigenous Peoples. Here in Ontario, we are one week away from an election that has barely touched upon Indigenous issues. In fact, the only Indigenous issue mentioned so far was PC leader Doug Ford stating that he would drive a bulldozer to build the roads into the Ring of Fire. This is as far from FPIC as one can get. However, in light of the Trans Mountain Pipeline purchase, Prime Minister Trudeau is now acting a lot like Mr. Ford to ensure that development happens despite First Nations interests being largely ignored. Canadians must realize that First Nations are still very much an “after-thought” in government policies and still burdened under the colonial Indian Act. During National Indigenous History Month, governments and Canadians must vow to turn Reconciliation into action. Apologies and promises have done
Volume 5, Issue 43
nothing to end the high rates of poverty, suicide, poor health, and the child welfare crisis. Apologies and promises have done nothing to ensure that First Nations in Ontario and across the country share in the wealth of the lands and resources as solemnly committed to in the Treaties that were signed in good faith by our ancestors. National Indigenous History Month is a reminder to all Canadians that we are the First Peoples of this land. Every day, Canadians should be thankful that this country, one of the wealthiest in the world, was founded in peace and friendship with our Peoples Our children should be able to enjoy the same rights and privileges as all Canadian children. Our children and youth should not be victims of racism and injustice. They should be able to grow up being proud of their heritage, cultures and languages. We must throw off the chains of the Indian Act, embrace UNDRIP, and create a true nation-to-nation relationship where we live as equals. We call on the Federal Family and all levels of jurisdiction across this country to support a national this dialogue. Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day

OPINION: Thunder Woman Speaks
Canada’s reconciliation will continue to fail RACHEL A. SNOW
rachelannsnow634@gmail.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Canada the settler state, that exists because of the International treaties signed between the U.K. Crown and the First Nation people; has a distorted view of reconciliation. Placing the original people on reserves was an archaic act of reconciliation. Placing the original people’s children into residential schools was an act of reconciliation. Legislating the original people under the Indian Act was and continues to be “an act of reconciliation.” What does reconciliation mean to the settler state? It means paternalistic controls, policy and legislation that will continue to dictate the lives of the original people. What does reconciliation mean to the original people? It means an ongoing relationship between two parties where the original people continue to exist as they have for generations on this island. The idea of a relationship with equal say on two sides continues to present problems for Canada the settler state. Canada has become the recipient of a state where original
treaties were made to share the land. Whether the original people are from the Eastern door or the Western prairies, the original people do not have a concept of land ownership. They have spiritual obligations that exist in language, ceremony and blood memory. The land is tied to these processes; therefore the existence of the original people is dependent on a land base. Canada currently is pushing a rights recognition framework onto the original peoples, again without consideration for the spiritual relationship to the land. Successive settler governments have attempted to force the original people to give up their sacred places using dishonesty and outright theft. If the settlers who make up Canada value property or the commodification of land so much, why are they so unwilling to pay for their “freedom”? This land, as the original people understand was gifted to all the inhabitants including the four-legged, winged, plant and water animals. This land was not made solely for the non-natives who ventured from across the great waters seeking freedom from tyranny and aristocratic rule. This is why the
original people continue to take an adversarial position with this upstart settler state. The animals and plants that also form Creation need a voice because this is also their land. If you study western science, settlers have compartmentalized disciplines so that they can lay claim to expertise over some area. The areas of “expertise” do not cross into each other’s area of study so they are limited in their thinking and application. This has been done by design of the settler system. When the original people explain our sacred areas or places, we look at western science and see many papers, books and research that have been written from a view with only one focus. This scientific method of narrowing focus is in fact limiting the view of the interconnectedness. The original people see the big picture. They see the interconnectedness of all life. They have expertise because they are open to new ways of thinking and seeing life. Does this now make sense? Does it make sense that the original people would welcome the newcomers recognizing that they were created for a purpose? Does it make sense that the original people
would be receptive to learning and sharing with the newcomer? Contrast this openness of the original people with the actual mindset of the settlers fleeing tyranny and oppression. They were trying to flee from autocratic control but the only system they knew involved structure, hierarchies and compartmentalization. The newcomers were happy to learn survival “tricks” from the original people but they quickly looked beyond the simple existence and saw opportunity to take and take – thinking only of themselves. Indeed this individualistic thinking still directs settlers who think in terms of “me” or “I” and not of others. As you are driving, or lining up to make purchases, there are always people who are pushing themselves in front. It is as though the world and all others are servants to their entitlement. Now if you take this individualistic thinking and the entitlement that accompanies it, you will have a very shallow existence and no concern for others. This is Canada. How does Canada, then purport to “forge a new relationship” with the original people? Has the Canadian government put
aside the Charter of Rights that guarantee individual rights? Is not the Charter a staple of Canadian values and what makes up this nation? The predominance of individual rights directly opposes the original people’s views, which include the “rights” of the animal, land, and waters to live freely. How can Canada repeatedly state publicly that they are forging a “new relationship” when their laws and policies are individually based with man as a supreme entity? Canada does not understand the worldview of the original people. They continue to implement policies and legislation that will “recognize” or “implement” when these words are public relation or marketing phrases meant to assure global audiences that “the Indians are under control”. We see the effects of Canada’s short sightedness in the KinderMorgan development happening in western Canada. Canada has taken the stance that they will complete a pipeline desecrating sacred places, water sources and the land of the original people. Canada ignores the boil water advisory that exists for many original nations who have little or no access to clean drinking water
while paying billions for outdated assets in a dying technology. Canada has chosen to ignore the original agreements that gave their ancestors access to this land. The settler state knows better. The settler state believes they can learn nothing from the original people. Economic development is an act of war, not of reconciliation. This act of war seeks to destroy the land and waters of not only the original people, but of the plant and wildlife that also live on this island. Individualistic thinking and supporting corporate individuals to remain in power sounds like the autocratic control which the original settlers were fleeing when they came to this land. If this is reconciliation, and the settler state continues to harm the land, is it not prudent for the original people to take up arms to protect their sacred places? Can we now see that the bigger picture is interconnected therefore the original people are standing up to steward this land so that all life may continue? The original people know their roles, even if it means protecting settlers from their own settler government. There can be no reconciliation when some life is valued more than all life.

Six hundred welders required to meet local demand – Six Nations Polytechnic responds BRANTFORD – Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) has been approved for funding up to a maximum of $307,295 over two years to deliver the We Are Welders Program to low-income women under the Women’s Economic Security Program. Since opening its Brantford Campus in 2016, SNP staff have been working hard to identify and fulfil local needs in Brantford, Brant County, and Six Nations for trades workers. The objective of this tuition-free program is to provide the soft skills, practical skills, safety training, technical skills and personal supports necessary for program participants to gain local employment as a welder. The project will provide a combination of theory, hands-on and virtual training at the Brantford campus of Six Nations Polytechnic. “With three cohorts over two fiscal years, this project aims to respond, quickly, to an increased demand for welders by training and employing thirty new qualified welders in the City of Brantford and Brant county region,” said Rebecca Jamieson, President and CEO of SNP. “We know there is a gap in skilled trades workers locally and this program helps to fill part of that gap.” “Together, with community, industry and academic partners, this project will offer workshops and a speaker series to help women begin a career as a welder,” said Linda Parker, Acting Director of Operations and Advancement at SNP’s Brantford campus. “It will also provide opportunities and resources for women to overcome or avoid undesirable situations of abuse, harassment or violence.” The 28-week course is comprised of six modules that include career awareness, team building, soft and life skills, welding, employment readiness and empowerment and a paid work placement. The curriculum content plus workshops and resources aim to remove barriers, build confidence, acquire skills and prepare participants for a career as a
welder. This program is offered tuition-free and the first cohort is set to start in June of this year. Interested applicants will soon be able to apply through Six Nations Polytechnic and community agencies. Fast Facts: • The We Are
Welders program will increase opportunities for local trades training, skill development and post-secondary education in the City of Brantford. Upon completion of this program, participants will have the education, skill sets and attitude to enter and remain in the labour
market. • This program fills an identified, local skills gap for welders • Six Nations Polytechnic will deliver the Level 1 Common Core Apprenticeship In-school curriculum for Welder (456A) and Metal Fabricator (437A) in partnership
with Canadore College • This program is sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of the Status of Women • Supports may be available for child-care and transportation • SNP also offers a Welder Fitter program for those who may not fall
under the criteria for this program Six Nations Polytechnic acknowledges and thanks the Province of Ontario for its support of this initiative. The views expressed within are the views of Six Nations Polytechnic staff and do not necessarily reflect those of the Province.

SIX NATIONS — One of the main Six Nations voices and faces during the 2006 conflict between Six Nations residents and Caledonia residents has died. Clyde “Bullet” Hotchinheh Powless, passed away May 30th. Not only was Powless a Six Nations community member but also a faith keeper at the Onondaga Longhouse, a very respected position. Shortly after Six Nations residents and supporters took over the site of what was to become Douglas Creek Estates housing development, on Highway no. 6, just outside of Caledonia, one of the first men on the scene to take charge was Bullet, who helped organize with the people after the OPP broke its promise to give those still on the site 24 hours to vacate or be arrested.

Instead, the OPP sent in a well-coordinated attack on those sleeping in tents and sleeping bags arresting anyone who resisted. This unwise and dangerous decision was made with the tragedy of Dudley George and Ipperwash still fresh in the minds of Onkwehonwe (Native) warriors across Turtle Island (North America). The first call for help went out around 4:45 am,
and before the sun rose, there were hundreds of Six Nations men, women and teens standing face to face against a row of OPP, backed up by snipers who had secretly climbed trees around what was called the Silver Pines station, guarding entry to the site. Bullet arranged for a large dump-truck to block highway no.6 to prevent what was feared to be a second wave of attack af-
ter Six Nations residents drove the OPP back off the land later that day. Acting in good faith, Bullet went to the Baptist church that was inside the first barricade to assure the Pastor that he and his parishioners would not be prevented from Sunday worship. Six Nations land protectors were told by Powless to respect the church like it was a longhouse. Even in the heat of those troubled days, there was a good relationship maintained
between the Six Nations guards protecting the reclaimed lands and the church, partially due to the respect that was shown by Powless at a very important time. It was Powless who ordered the barricade back up after it was taken down by Six Nations as a gesture of peace. Despite the highway being reopened, the angry mob in Caledonia surrounded a van on Argyle Street, on Bread and Cheese Day, 12 years ago, and threatened
to tip it over with two elderly Six Nations occupants still inside. Powless trying to come to the aid of the elders and took a punch in the face for his efforts. Looking back, it was his leadership, especially in the early days, along with the stoic presence of the late Dick Hill and others that may have kept the volatile situation from boiling over on many occasions. Clyde “Bullet” Powless was 51.

Restorations underway at former Mohawk Institute Renovations shed light on daily life for residential school students By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS — Extensive renovations are in full swing at the Woodland Cultural Centre’s Mohawk Institute building in Brantford. Workers have stripped the former residential school to the inside brick and frame skeleton. Paula Whitlow, Executive Director of the Woodland Cultural Centre, says after electrical and plumbing work is brought up to standard, the actual meticulous restoration of the evidence of one of Canada’s most infamous periods in history will begin. Once complete, the old “Mush Hole” — a name given to the school by former students because of the limited and poor diet they were forced to eat — will be Canada’s first open museum dedicated to the attempted genocide of Canada’s indigenous peoples. Demolition of the building’s interior, complete roof restoration and gutting of rooms has revealed numerous relics and mementos from students and staff at the school. Whitlow is most excited about one find in particular. Behind a wall panel was an admission form to the school, dated 1913. The last name on the form was Elliott. “We don’t know if ‘Elliott’ was registered here or not and will never know how it got there,” Whitlow says. Taking a tour through the site as it reverts back to what it would have looked like as a residential school causes one to pause and reflect on the abuse that took place within its walls in the name of education and Christianity. Six Nations acquired ownership of the building in 1971. Since then, small humble trinkets of of innumer-
able children removed from their families were found — having been carefully stashed behind wallboards and in tiny hiding places throughout the building. And the building has turned up yet another surprise. In a room adjacent to the main furnace room a previously unseen incinerator room and incinerator were discovered. Knowing the history and sensitivity of the situation, Woodland Cultural Centre Director Paula Whitlow and the experienced historical restoration company handling the job stopped work immediately and arranged for the contents of the ash and refuse to be sifted and analyzed before carrying on with their work. The incinerator room was built in the 1920’s when the present building replaced an earlier one that was destroyed by fire. Whitlow says the incinerator must have been installed before the room was closed in. It was too big to be removed through the door and had to be lifted out through the roof with a crane. Found within the ash of the incinerator were a number of medical bottles and eye droppers, a handful of seed beads, and a few coins dating from the 1970’s — after the school was decommissioned. Around the building were chards of china dishes, one depicting the Kirby Hotel. There was also a toy truck, and other evidence of kids trying to find a moment of joy in a world that was trying to purge their existence from history.

INDIGENOUS HISTORY MONTH Whitlow says there was a lot of work done on the building after it was given back to Six Nations in the early 1970’s, who used it for a number of Six Nations administrative offices and private business offices, language classes and cultural restoration projects. A recording studio also occupied part of the second floor, in what used be the girl's dorm. There were still a few remnants of the school days left behind which are stunning. Names and declarations of puppy love between students are written in pencil on the plaster walls where the teachers couldn’t find them. Small toys were often hidden like treasures, away from the Principal, church assigned teachers, and from each other. Life at ‘The Mush Hole’ was not unlike life in prison for students, where bullying and fighting had the ability all too often, to set the pecking order. The young were forced to obey the older students with the same ferocity as the teachers were quick to employ on them. In fact, the Priest and his staff were at times entertained by these many fights at the beginning of each school year, where the social order for the coming year was set. Favours for those willing to be subjugated and punishment for those who would not. The sexual and mental abuse was epidemic for several generations. For many of them, right up to the day it closed in 1970, they were never shown love, compassion, parental protection or even a decent meal. Rumours and urban legends of abuse and gross neglect have surrounded the Mohawk Institute for generations. There is little doubt that most, if not all, of these hellish stories have their roots in reality. One such rumour involves the unknown final resting places of young students said to have gone missing or died on site. Another suggests hidden pregnancies and deaths of babies resulting from the sexual assault of female students by priests or staff. These horrors are so noted by
former students that when the incinerator was found under a pile of rubbish on site — Six Nations historian Rick Hill and Whitlow took special care in having its contents recorded. Even the nearby Mohawk Chapel, which was used by the students for Church on Sunday, now stands a sombre reminder of the abuse suffered by former students. School principal and Anglican Rev. William John Zimmerman who ran the school and church from 1945-1950 and Rev. Horace W. Snell who ran the school from 1929 - 1945 are both notorious for having viciously sexually assaulted numerous students under their care without consequence. When the residential school/museum opens to the public in 2020, there will be a permanent record of the entire Residential School experience, with rooms readied for visitors to see and feel what going to an Indian Residential School was all about. Historian Rick Hill has been involved with the restoration process. “The interpretation of what took place here is absolutely critical to our future,” he says.”We have to understand what happened to our people, but also to understand why it happened.” He considers the research, gathering of evidence and presentation of the Residential School era is one of the most significant historical projects of this century. Some former residents of the school have expressed their desire that the building be removed and the memory of it buried with it. But, Hill says as a historian and a Six Nations man himself believes that this blood stain on the robe of the Church and on the hands of the Canadian government needs to be remembered so it never happens again. According to Hill, pretending it didn’t happen is not the right thing to do. He believes that today's Six Nations youth need to know what happened to grandma, and why she was the way she was, understand it and say to themselves, “I’m not
going to do that to my children.” Although Hill doesn’t think there have been many surprises found during restoration, he sees the evidence found to date being more enlightening to the disaster that was already well known on reserve, but all but invisible to Brantford residents.

An incinerator was recovered from the building and had to be removed through the roof. It’s contents were sifted and analyzed by forensic officials.

Snell who is notorious for his sexual abuse of his former students. Photos by Jim Windle and Nahnda Garlow.

Temperature affects air pressure — just a ten degree difference can make a tire gain or lose 1psi. TEST YOUR BATTERY. Batteries over 3 years old may need to be checked and replaced. High temps can weaken car batteries. COOLANT needs to be flushed and changed on a regular basis. Visit your mechanic if you haven’t done this in a while. WINDSHIELD WIPERS can crack and wear. Using a faulty wiper blade could damage your windshield and reduce your visibility. Ensure wiper fluid is topped off whenever you get an oil change. INSPECT BELTS AND HOSES. Anything too old can get brittle, crack and should be replaced. Parts over 7 years old should be carefully checked. TRANSMISSION FLUID needs attention too. Summer heat contributes to the breakdown of transmission fluid. It should not smell burnt or look dirty. GET AN OIL CHANGE. Manage your engine oil and get a change every 4000km or as recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual. Extreme heat and cold may require a heavier oil.

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS — In partnership with Six Nations Tourism and Thru the Red Door, A Tribe Called Red added Oswe:ge to their
Rez Tour 2018 and filled the sky with lights and the air with innovative sound in Chiefswood Park on Tuesday, May 29. Both Tim “2oolman” Hill and Ehren “Bear Witness” Thomas performed as a duo before a sea of fans, family and support-

ers with traditional and contemporary dancers performing just feet in front of them on stage. Tim “2oolman” Hill, Mohawk, explained that this stop on the tour was a goal that they wanted to reach. “Playing for home town is something that we definitely wanted to accomplish during the Rez Tour,” said Hill. “We’ve been blessed to do it two times now with both Rez Tours. It’s just a great feeling to be able to give back — to come back home and give back.” As the performance attracted hundreds, Hill

was quick to point out that the shows just seem to be getting bigger and better. “The shows have been getting progressively more and more amped, and we have two really big shows coming up,” he said. “It’s been a great run for our last couple of dates, and we’re really excited to play in Kahnawake next because that’s a new Rez Tour stop that we haven’t done yet.” Ehren “Bear Witness” Thomas, Cayuga, also voiced his own excitement for the upcoming show as the crowd that filled Chiefswood Park might create some competition.

“There were eight stops just in Canada and Six Nations was stop six,” said Thomas. “Our next stop is Kahnawake, and I think Kahnawake is gonna hear about how big the show was tonight and try to get more people,” he said with a laugh. But as the show had an accommodating time, youth were largely present in the crowd and Thomas took notice. “The responses have been really good, I think that the biggest goal — or even a goal that we didn’t realize was doing
the show for kids, for the youth. Young people have really come out and represented at all of our shows; even taking over some of our shows. So in that sense this tour has been an amazing success.” If you’ve never heard their music before, the group is an electronic DJ collective. Their sound can be described as a powerful and tasteful intertwining of hip-hop, reggae, dubstep and First Nations vocals and drumming which has shaped a new genre for indigenous music altogether.
After the audience called them back on stage after the show ended, the duo decided to carry on for an extra set. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

TORONTO — Indigenous Fashion Week Toronto (IFWTO) launched its four-day festival on May 29, and brought a Trade and Consumer Marketplace to the Harbour-front Centre from Friday, June 1 to Sunday, June 3. While the festival featured a multi-platform event that hosted some of the most distinctive and progressive Indigenous-made fashion, textiles, workshops and crafts, is also showcased the celebration of global Indigenous expression in fashion and the arts included in its grounding in Indigenous knowledge, ways of life and storytelling. The IFWTO is also led by none other than innovative Indigenous women that wished to bring audiences an Indigenous-represented and accessible

out North America. She utilizes natural material, antique goods and heirloom fabrics into her work and employs the raised bead work technique of
Bear Clan of the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne, who is an award-winning fashion designer and business owner whose work is displayed all through-
the Haudenosaunee. She was also the favourite artist of Christa Jonathan of Six Nations, who travelled to model at IFTWO.
Jonathan took some modelling classes with Michelle Farmer’s Studio and another agency in Toronto when she was younger, and her first time modelling took place at the Skydome Powwow when she was just thirteen. Having been Miss Six Nations and a competitor at the 2013 Miss Indian World Competition, she was no stranger to the stage and this ex-perience served as her first major modelling show — and it was one she called “incredible.” “Modelling Indigenous designs made this experience so incredible,” she said. “I felt such pride for our people and was in awe of how these designers incorporated our traditional art into their clothes. Each designer had created their clothes around a certain theme, and speaking to the designers I modelled for, I felt very privileged to be a part of their message.” MORE PHOTOS NEXT WEEK

BRANTFORD — Michelle Farmer’s Studio of Dance and Modelling presented the 43rd Annual Talent Showcase before a full house at BCI for two nights this weekend. “Tonight we displayed tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip hop and our youngest dancer was two and our oldest dancers are in their fifties. So that’s a big span,” said studio director Michelle Farmer. But Farmer explained that dance is something that people can always come back to at any age. “Some of the adults will take a break; one of them took a break for thirty years and now she’s back,” she said. “A lot of our adults have grandchildren also dancing, so a lot of them keep their families in dance and stay in a way that’s almost loyal.” And keeping dance in the family also applies to her own, as her son Jazz Fuller has taken the reigns in choreography.
The youngest dancer of the night was only two years old. It was the 43rd Annual Talent Showcase at BCI.
“He choreographed all of the hip hop routines tonight,” she said. “Last year I did some of them but this year he did them all, and he’s already an award winning choreographer.” Farmer said that Fuller earned first place overall with one of his hip hop routines and she says he’s doing “very well with it.” And Fuller has his own motivation for stepping onto the choreography
platform. “It’s not just for girls;

see,” he said. “That’s why I dance, just to show the
younger kids that boys do dance and that you don’t have to be a girl to dance hip hop.” “And once you’re up there it’s a lot of fun,” he said. Fuller said that his ambition for next year is to get an older group of boys interested in dance, as he said that dance can be the right kind of activity for some. “It gives kids something to do besides the usual sports on the reserve like lacrosse and baseball or hockey.” Fuller said that overall, all of the performances went well and he noted that how much energy the young dancers have is “amazing.”

SIX NATIONS — Defending Ontario Provincial ‘A’ Champions, the Six Nations Intermediate Girls Box Lacrosse team hit the floor at the Gaylord Powless Arena on Monday night to take on the Simcoe Timber Wolves, a new intermediate level team. Although the loss of veterans and some shaky new legs has changed the Warriors, their first period was fast-paced and focused. Fawn Porter scored with a slide across the crease five minutes in, assisted by Leeah Henhawk and Mia Martin. One minute later rookie Maggie Spratt Mall buried with passes from Kenley Jacobs and Shelby Hill. Timmia Bomberry put another in the net three minutes later with a set up from Kaylee Whitlow. While Tyra Skye and Tianna Bomberry scored within minutes of each other to close the first period The second period seemed slower as the Warriors turned their focus to ball movement and cycling rather than scoring. But five minutes in Timmia Bomberry scored her second from Spratt Mall and Porter. While Leeah Henhawk scored with a quick pass from behind the crease from Fawn Porter and Timmia Bomberry with three minutes left in the period. As the third period be-

gan, it was evident that the Warriors were taking their time and pulling off on the Timber Wolves. Their focus turned to trying to feed the newer players so that they could try to score and boost their stats. But only one goal went in in the third period for the Warriors. The shot was taken by Dallas Lickers, whose shaft and head separated at the same time but sent the ball into the net four minutes in to the period. With the Warriors going easy on them, the Timber Wolves were able to return one goal with a pass from their goalie Brooke Hache to Jenna Durham with a break away. The game finalized with the Warriors on top 8-1.

Six Nations Jr. B Rebels clinch divisional title JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rebels have clinched the South West Divisional title after another successful weekend for the powerful seven-time Founders Cup winning Jr. B lacrosse franchise. After 17 games played, the Rebels are 16-0-1. It was a very busy weekend around the league as teams jockey for playoff positioning with 20 teams in action Sunday alone, including the Rebels and the Spartans. Sunday night in St. Catharines, Wes Whitlow put up an eight point game to lead the Rebels past the Spartans 11-8, in the second leg of the home and home series which began with a 10-10 tie game, Friday night at the ILA. The Rebels appeared a bit wobbly as Spartans took an early 2-0 lead, but after the Rebs got their feet under them, Wes Whitlow and Kahn
Riley Miller is in his second full season with the Six Nations Rebels after being called up for five games in 2016. So far this season after 16 games of the 20 game schedule, he has already surpassed last season’s goals output with 29 and has 58 points in total. Last playoff season he contributed nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points in 10 games played. Although small by some standards, he has a mean streak as well. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE
General pulled the Rebels even and at 19:35, Waylon Abrams put Six Nations up 3-2. The second period was an end-to-end affair with lots of scoring both ways. Once again, the Spartans came out hot and netted the first two goals of the frame. After goals were traded between the two, The Rebels put a lid on the second period with the final three goals to go
into the final 20 minutes ahead 8-6. The Rebel’s final goal, an empty-netter, was scored by Justin Martin from Daniel Hill at 19:03. It doesn’t happen often in lacrosse, but Friday night’s Jr. B tiff against the visiting St. Catharines Spartans at the ILA ended in a 10-10 draw after three periods and overtime. The usually dominant Rebels ran up
against an over-achieving Spartans who, with the single point tie, still remains 20 points behind the Rebels with 11 points. The Rebels remain best in Ontario with 31 points. Chayton King led the Rebel charge with four goals, three of them I succession in the second period. It was 2-1 for the Spartans after the first period with Riley Miller account-
ing the goal for the Rebels. Kahn General opened the second period for Six Nations from Bo Peltier and Keegan Thomas, at 4:13. That is when Chayton King did most of his damage scoring at 8:40, 9:44 and again at 11:51 tomato it a 5-2 game. St. Kitts steadied the Spartans ship late in the frame with three unanswered markers to end the second period in a 5-5
tie, setting up for a wild third period. The Spartans struck early to take the lead 26-seconds into the third, followed by an unassisted goal to take a two goal lead at 7-5. Garret VyseSquare and Bo Peltier wrestled the game back into a 7-7 tie. Alex Gibson put St. Kitts ahead again with a powerplay goal, which Mason Hill erased at 11:23 from Kobe Whitcomb. A minute later, Mario Caito gave the lead back to the visitors at 12:28 until Wes Whitlow played the hero at 19:29 to send the game into overtime. In the OT period, Chayton King took advantage of an OT five-minute boarding penalty, against Blake Haliday which gave the lead back to the Rebels, But a mental miscue during a Rebels powerplay turned ugly and Tyler Kolodha evened the score again with a shorthanded goal and it was locked at 10-10 where the game would officially end.

SIX NATIONS — If you were watching the first period between the Jr. A Arrows and the Burlington Chiefs, you would have easily anticipated a run-away Six Nations win after they put up a 5-0 first period score on goals scored by Owen S Hill, Austin Staats, Edward Teddy Leggett, and two
by Travis Longboat. You would have been wrong. The second period looked they the totems changed jerseys as the Burlington Chiefs returned the embarrassing favour and scored the only six goals of the second period shutting Arrows archers down completely to end the second period with Burlington leading 6-0. Staats and Longboat added third period goals for Six Nations to take
a very narrow 7-6 lead, with Jeremy Bomberry assisting on both, but at 13:59, it was a new game again at 7-7 and at 18:13, Burlington got the winner from Damon Currie for the 7-6 Burlington win and the Arrows’ fourth loss. The Chiefs top the league with 12 points. The Brampton Excelsiors are next with 10 points, tied with the Toronto Beaches in second place,
with Orangeville Northmen, the KW Braves, Mimico Mountaineers and Whitby Warriors all have eight points, with the St. Catharines Athletics and the Six Nations Arrows next with six points each. Behind them are the Barrie Lakeshores with four points, and the Peterborough Lakers have sunk to the bottom of the league with twopoints in nine starts.
The Six Nations Arrows and the Burlington Chiefs were engaged in a game that could be described as bi-polar. The Arrows scored five first period goals for a 5-0 lead, but the Chiefs owned the second period scoring all six to go into the third period with Burlington up by one at 6-5. Two goals by the Arrows and two by the Chiefs in the third period left the Arrows one goal short. PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

In the end, Brendan Muise scored the game-winner from Rayce Vyse and Marcus Elvin at 18:50 if the third square to break an 11-11 tie for the Rivermen win. The Six Nations win evened the Rivermen with Oakville but Six Nations still has a game in hand, as of this article. There was a lot of scoring done in the first period which ended 6-4 in Six Nations favour. Muise both opened and close the scoring, getting the game going at 3:27. Rayce Vyse
and Steve Harris assisted, but only seconds later the game was tied at 1-1. Greg Longboat and Joe Maracle mad it 3-1 before Brooklin broke out with two to even the score again. Tom Montour put Six Nations ahead again before Brooklin struck three times before the period ended with the Merchants ahead 6-4. While Warren Hill and the Rivermen defence tightened their defensive bubble in their own zone, Om Montour, began the third period comeback and Muise, who came to the Rivermen via Oakville after last season, followed with the tying goal at 17:28 and the game-winner at 18:50 for a threegoal game plus an assist. Saturday, June 9th, the Rivermen will host the Merchants of Brooklin at 7 pm, at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

SIX NATIONS — Six NationsWarriors increased their dominance of the Jr. C lacrosse hierarchy to 10-wins against one loss, however, they have also played. More games than anyone else so far a good string of wins by Wilmott, who have only played seven games, Brantford, who are in third after eight games, could overtake them while they wait for the rest of the league to catch up. Friday, at the ILA, the Warriors handled the Oakville Buzz, 13-7 in a game that featured a second-period power surge by the Six Nations offence. Oakville took a 2-0 lead with back-to-back goals scored by Alex Kew, Jodan Mke and Jaxon
Martin took care of that but Oakville scored again at 15:05. Jaxon Martin evened the first-period score at 3-3 at 18:55 from Myke and Jon Perry-Smith. Warriors newcomer Julian Moreno opened the second period, which sparked a tree goal Buzz run, which in turn set off a seven-goal-string to end the. Second period with the Warriors up 11-6. Jordan Myke and Parry-Smith added third-period goals for the 13-7 win. Putting multiple points up for Six Nations were Jaxon Martin (3G,4A), Jordan Myke (4G,2A), Jon Perry-Smith (1G,4A), Tehas Powless (2G,1A), Luke Montour (1G,1A), Sam Gowland (1G), Julian Morenu (1G), Jake Smith (3A) , Todd Thomas (3A), Kennedy Miller (1A), Jackson Miller (1A), and Dougie Powless (1A). Jackson Miller earned the
win in the Warriors net. The night before, at the Centre Wellington Sportsplex is Fergus, the Warriors cut through the Thistles 22-9. Gathering personal points in the walk-over were Todd Thomas (3G,6A), Jaxon Martin (3G,3A), Jordan Myke (6G, 2A), Shane Henry (1G,7A), Jon Parry-Smith (1G,5A), Tehas Powless (4G,2A), Jake Smith (1G,2A).

SIX NATIONS — Saturday, June 2nd, the 2018 edition Six Nations Major Series Chiefs will make their debut in front of a home crowd at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena at 7 pm, against the Coburg Kodiaks. Further on down the road, Tuesday, June 5th, the Chiefs will host the Peterborough Lakers at 8 pm, at the ILA. Last season, the Chiefs finished the regular schedule in second place with 29 points in 18 games, five points behind Peterborough, who went on the win the Mann Cup. This early in the Major Series Lacrosse season, the Chiefs have announced the first draft of its lineup, at least to start the season. Many NLL players are still in the thick of the NLL Championship Cup Championships between
Rochester and Saskatchewan and will return when that series ends. Last season, the Chiefs were stopped by the Lakers who went on to win the 2017 Mann Cup defeating the New Westminster Salmonbellies in six. There will be a lot of familiar names and faces for the Chiefs again this season, but there is also a gaggle of guys, young and veterans, coming up from the junior ranks or down from the NLL after that season ends. Defender Paul Dawson will be returning, Billy Dee Smith will return for his ninth season. General Manager and assistant coach Dwayne Jacobs will get to select from a large pool of overage juniors from the Arrows and the Rebels, and elsewhere to fill in the blanks. On paper, this is a strong team, however, the jury is still out over what kind of speed this year’s Chiefs will have. The debut game will show both fans and
Jacobs and the Chiefs coaching staff how this year’s Chiefs will perform on the floor. The Chiefs still await the arrival of a few big names still involved in the NLL Championship Playoffs, including veterans Cody Jamieson and Sid Smith among others.

SIX NATIONS — Construction is just beginning for a new development on Tuscarora Road that will see private homes built in a private neighbourhood. Six Nations resident Pete Hill told Two Row Times the new neighbourhood — Tusca Heights, a development by Future Property Holdings — will be a Culde-Sac private road going into the property on the east side of Tuscarora road between Fifth and Sixth Lines with plans for up to 19 homes in two phases of development. “We’re taking away the headache. For the most part if you need just to get in there and get a house set up we have a turnkey plan. You get your house, you get your land…and you get a seven piece appliance package,” said Hill. This will be the first private home developer
