Elected Council bans Peter Khill from Six Nations NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Tuesday’s Elected Council heard a group of Haudenosaunee women request that the man who confessed to shooting and killing Jonathan Styres be banned from Six Nations territory. A group of about ten women from Haudenosaunee communities have been actively meeting and discussing how to support the call for an appeal to the acquittal of Peter Khill - and how to press for justice for indigenous victims in cases going through the courts. Three requests were made: the first being to ban Peter Khill from Six Nations of the Grand River for the remainder of his life. SNEC put forward a motion to ban Khill and it was passed unanimously. A second request was made to ask the council pass a resolution to prevent a Six Nations man who killed a Six Nations woman from working with children in the community. Clint Doolittle struck and killed Joleen Styres with his car in 2016. The case was tried and Doolittle, as part of sentencing, was recommended by a Brantford judge to work with autistic children on

Six Nations. Styres’ sister, Jill Styres, said that is an action that would put Doolittle in direct relationship with Styres surviving children. Doolittle has been involved in coaching minor lacrosse. The Six Nations Elected Council said they wanted more information on the judge’s ruling and referred the women to gather parents to speak to the minor lacrosse association about their concerns. An additional request was made to put together a committee to develop a bylaw for the banishment of band members who have killed a person or prevent convicted sex offenders from residing on the territory. The group was invited to meet with the justice committee to share their concerns there.Six Nations Elected Council heard an appeal by a family, challenging an eviction letter to the wife and mother - ordering her to stop residing at Six Nations. RESIDENCY BYLAW CONCERNS Six Nations Elected Council heard an appeal by a family, challenging an eviction letter to the wife and mother - ordering her to stop residing at Six Nations. A letter from SNEC went out to the family after a

complaint letter informed the council of the woman, a non Six Nations band member but Mohawk citizen, that she had to cease residing on the reserve. The complainants family was in attendance and allegations between the two families and their children were raised and disputed for over an hour at Tuesday’s council meeting. SNEC debated their authority to change the eviction. A motion was put on the floor to allow the family to remain on the territory but elected councillors stated they did not have an authority to decide to overrule an eviction bylaw ruling and amended the motion - ultimately upholding the eviction. The complainant, a mother, alleges the woman evicted had been bullying her children to the point of one youth becoming suicidal. The family of the woman evicted approached the HCCC for a letter of support allowing her to remain in Six Nations, which they received and presented to the SNEC. SNEC asked the complainant family if they had been consulted and allowed to tell their side of the story to the HCCC while the letter of support was being drafted and they confirmed they did not.

Thousands in prize money for Jukasa Canadian Short Track Nationals HAGERSVILLE – On September 1 & 2, Jukasa Motor Speedway will host the inaugural Canadian Short Track Nationals.

$50,000 to win and $2,000 to start,” said Jukasa Motor Speedway General Manager Alex Nagy. "Our goal, when we decided to have this event, was to have one of the biggest short track races in Canada and North America. We have many Canadian teams that head south for big shows so we want to have one here that Canadians are proud of and want to be part of along with having our friends from the USA want to come here to be part of it.” According to Nagy, there has already been considerable racer interest from all across Canada – including a strong group from the Maritimes and many places in the USA. The first 40 Pro Late Model entries will be guaranteed a spot working on pit road for the day. Legendary Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell will be playing in the Pavilion on Friday August 31. Tickets for the concert are available on Jukasa’s website and will be discounted for race ticket holders.

Architectural buildings found within North and South America have been a part of the television show Ancient Aliens, due to researchers believing the structures are too well constructed and advanced to have been built by the societies surrounding them. This is a great time to ask how old Homo sapiens are, as it is a question that doesn’t come to mind often. The original belief is that Homo sapiens originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago — the Middle Paleolithic. This is because the earliest fossils of anatomically modern humans were found in Ethiopia in the remains of Omo and Herto, sometimes classified as Homo sapiens Idaltu. In Latin, Homo sapiens means “wise man.” But how wise are we really? With human history only being able to trace back for roughly 5,000 to 10,000 years into the landscapes of Mesopatamia, if we do the math, that’s leaving roughly 190,000 years unaccountable to our human history. This unaccountability could be in part blamed upon the Pleistocene Epoch — the most recent Ice Age which began 1.8 million years ago and ended just 11,700 years ago. So what happened to the societies of the Ice Age? Climate changes, changes in trade routes and war are preferable explanations as to how many of the great societies went missing. This includes the Olmec and the Anasazi. The Olmec are considered to be the first major Mesoamerican culture which thrived along Mexico’s Gulf Coast from 1200-400 B.C. They developed cities, were known for their craftsmanship

The Olmec, a civilization that disappeared from along what became Mexico's gulf coast, built intricately carved "colossal heads" using stone sourced from quarries some 50 miles away.

and handiwork, and their influences can be seen in later cultures such as the Maya and the Aztec. But what was left behind are known as the Olmec colossal heads, of which there are 12. The precision and beauty of the heads and the massive size are found to have been impossible to construct by the human hand with stone tools, and the basalt boulders used for the heads came from sites more than 50 miles away from the Olmec. The Olmec are now considered to be a civilization that disappeared. The Anasazi, on the other hand, are considered to be the ancestors of modern-day Pueblo. They constructed beautiful and massive multi-storied buildings, including those in Chaco Canyon between 850 and 1250 A.D., which were oriented to lunar, solar and cardinal directions from materials that were brought from miles away. But they too, are considered to be a society that disappeared. The Anasazi are also considered to be an example of

how human societies can use unsustainable land use practices to their own demise, as it is believed that they fled the area due to overuse of resources. But there is no evidence that the Anasazi, who constructed highly advanced towns and cities, simply used up their resources and had to flee. Instead of blaming war, internal conflict or migration for the disbandment of each society, there are theorists that look to supernatural or extraterrestrial forces to explain their disappearances. They would also sooner pin the knowledge of architecture and the transport of giant rock and other materials on supernatural beings rather than admit that the North and South Americas were homes to astronomers, chemists, physicists and mathematicians. In the Ancient Aliens episode “The Mayan Conspiracy,” they cover the structures of the Maya Empire, which are centred in the lowlands of what is now tropical Guatemala. The Maya excelled at hieroglyph carving, pottery, agriculture, irrigation through aqueducts and calendar-making, though the most astonishing fact about them is that they were extremely adept at mathematics while also being cultural and spiritual people. But the golden age of the Maya Empire began

after the construct of stone pyramids around 250 A.D., where the civilization continued on with a religious ceremonial culture. Their population filled 40 cities which each housed between 5,000 and 50,000 people, making the population an estimated 2 million. Their cities were beautiful and their buildings were perfectly constructed and balanced. It is also their expertise in mathematics and not just as architects that has reigned them to be known as Mesoamerican mathematicians, as Mayan advances in astronomy and the use of the sum zero propelled their 365 day calendar system forward. They also made paper from tree bark and wrote in books known as codices, and only pieces of their hieroglyphs have been deciphered by modern researchers as four codices have survived. Their disappearance as a society is theorized to be the same as the Olmec and Anasazi. But the Ancient Aliens crew utilizes the culture of the Maya to justify the belief that their knowledge was given to them by extraterrestrials, rather than their knowledge being an accumulative process of acquiring more knowledge throughout generations and through trial and error. They are also bold enough to suggest that the cause of the Mayan decline or “disappearance” was an other worldly one. Again, there are 190,000 years of undocumented human interaction on this earth. Modern man in today's world has advanced further technologically in the past 20 years than in any other century. It's hard to believe that advancements couldn’t have been made in the same way with 190,000 years to work with. So how do you think that the oldest known civilizations could have built these great structures and acquired the tools to do so? Stay tuned until next week for another exploration of lost civilizations to see what we’ve come up with.

Five arrested after Curriculum writing session cancellation sparks concern over path to reconciliation Six Nations drug bust CANADIAN PRESS

– after the Progressive Conservative government clamped down travel spending across the public service after taking office June 29. ``We have heard from many educators, Elders and knowledge keepers and share their frustration as this important work was dropped just before it was set to begin,'' Fox said in a statement. ``This is a step backwards on our journey towards reconciliation. The education of the youth in Ontario shouldn't be dictated by the party in power, but left to professionals who acknowledge that identity-building is the only positive move forward.'' The government also cancelled curriculum writing sessions on American Sign Language and Indigenous Languages in Kindergarten set for the same time. Fox said the decision will impact Indigenous participants, many of whom had booked time away from work to attend

the sessions. ``We are asking this government to reaffirm its commitment ... working with Indigenous partners to address the legacy of residential schools, close gaps and remove barriers, support Indigenous cultures, and reconcile relationships,'' he said. Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said Ontario had previously committed to working with Indigenous partners to address the legacy of residential schools. ``Premier Doug Ford needs to tell us how his government plans to deliver on the TRC Calls to Action,'' he said. Ben Menka, spokesman for Education Minister Lisa Thompson, said the government will continue to move ahead with the updated Truth and Reconciliation Commission curriculum revisions. ``The ministry will work with experts, elders and Indigenous com-

munities to develop the support materials for the updated curriculum,'' he said in an email, adding that the ministry moved ahead with the cancellation without direction from Thompson. ``In keeping with the commitment Premier Doug Ford made to run government more efficiently, all ministries will seek to carry out initiatives in the most cost-effective way possible,'' Menka said. NDP legislator Peggy Sattler slammed the government for making decision to cut the sessions behind closed doors. ``Indigenous education benefits all students, and promises a better shared future. Scrapping the TRC curriculum writing sessions at the last second is a damaging step backwards on the road to reconciliation, and it sends a horrible message to Indigenous communities about their importance to the Ford government,'' Sattler said.

SIX NATIONS — Officers arrested five people Friday at a First Line home on Six Nations after a search unveiled what is suspected to be cocaine. Paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking and an undisclosed amount of cash was also seized by investigators. Ruth Ann Longboat, 52, of Ohsweken is charged with Trafficking and Possession For The Purpose of Trafficking; Timothy James Mt. Pleasant, 37, of Brantford is charged with Trafficking and Possession For The Purpose of Trafficking; Tamara Blair Monture, 32, of Brantford

is charged with Trafficking and Possession For The Purpose of Trafficking; Sonny Lance Longboat, 31, of Ohsweken is charged with Trafficking, Possession For The Purpose of Trafficking and Fail To Comply With Conditions of a Recognizance; and Forest Whitlow, 24, of Ohsweken is charged with Trafficking and Possession For The Purpose of Trafficking. Longboat and Whitlow were held in custody for a formal bail hearing. Mt. Pleasant, Tamara Monture and Ruth Ann Longboat were released on a Promise To Appear.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

If we couldn’t be stopped, how can you stop them? EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN On July 4, I read the statement issued by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel to the Iroquois Nationals, and I understood it completely. I felt for them with compassion in the same way that anyone else that is Haudenosaunee could. And reading through the explanation of their appeal was emotional because what is being done and has been done to Palestinians is not only ugly, but it offers a mental reminder of what our own people have suffered. Their appeal writes “like you,” in several paragraphs and I found myself thinking “yes, you’re right, just like us.” But I felt my heart sink as I read the last line. Because I knew already that the INs would still choose to play. The game of lacrosse has never been about restriction. It has always been about opportunity and responsibility. Only someone that has played the game would understand this. It does much more than play a role in our culture — it is a way of life. And this game is a part of something bigger; it is a medicine, it is a ceremony and it is a direct connection to those that came before us. Even as a woman I know this. But maybe what I shouldn’t understand as a woman is the desire

to play, to represent, to showcase and to be a part of a family. But I do. There are politics in lacrosse, yes. But the reason our men want to play is universal; it calls to them in the same way it always has. It is a part of them in a way that nothing else can be. That is why you’ll see wounded players still trying to drag themselves out onto the floor, even after being told they can’t play. You’ll even see them on the sidelines watching like they have an itch they can’t scratch. Many of the players on the INs have made careers out of the game, and when they have been given the opportunity to do what they love to do, they’re going to take it. So in my own opinion you cannot ask a team that fought to be their own team, away from both Canada and the United States, not to play. That would be a misunderstanding and misrepresentation of why they play. They play to represent all of us back home, they play for their families, for the Creator and simply because they enjoy it like nothing else. This game would not continue to be our game if they do not play, even if the reason not to play is great. Their responsibility is to the game as carriers of it and representatives of the original lineages that played it. Again,

Nature Connections By Quin Staats

it is a responsibility that cannot be taken away by a meaningful request, no matter how meaningful. They belong to the game as much as it belongs to them. Over the years the game has taken shape to suit the ones that shaped it, which was partly on our own people for sharing it, but it has now spread across the world as a game to be enjoyed by all. This is because our ancestors were never stingy with the game or secretive with it. Our ancestors simply did not allow women to play. But, if our women couldn’t be stopped from playing lacrosse even by clanmothers, how can Palestine expect our men not to choose to play? They can’t. The only way that the INs wouldn’t play would be if their heritage isn’t acknowledged through their passports. Which is something I shouldn’t have to explain and is something that coaligns with the responsibilities they carry as Haudneosaunee players – they are the Iroquois Nationals, after all. And for the use of their Haudenosaunee passports, the groundwork was laid by our women’s team last year. The full text of the statement from the Palestinian campaign is available online at www. bdsmovement.net.

Deep see dive Last week, I made my way up to Kawartha Lakes to spend four blissful days in the middle of nowhere with nothing but my love, the lake, and the trees. During my stay it so happened to be four of the hottest days yet this year. Needless to say, I spent the majority of my time at the lake whether it was boating over to the bay for some shaded fishing, or wading my way down the shore to a nearby sandbar. During these lengthy water visits I made a curious observation. I noticed that I was feeling a connection or interaction with the water each time I came into contact with it. However, the connection or feelings that I had in response to my interactions with the water would vary depending on how I was interacting with it. In other words, the connection I felt when I was on top of the lake in a boat was not the same emotional connection I got from being in the lake. Whilst in the boat on top of the water, I had a feeling of freedom. It was almost a feeling of superiority, like I was invincible or untouchable on top of the water. It was as if I had conquered the very nature of the lake. In contrast, when I would swim in

the lake with the water completely surrounding my own being, I felt more like I blended in. I felt invisible and unnoticed as if I were a part of the nature of the lake itself. How could this be that I could experience completely different emotional connections while interacting with the same inanimate thing? First, it is important to understand that just like an animal or tree or human being, lakes, rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water are also all equipped with a spirit. When you interact with a spirit in different ways it’s likely to have different outcomes. As for the lake I was spending time with, I realized when I was in a boat on top of the water I was controlling the depth of the interaction I was experiencing. The fibreglass between myself and the water acted like a barrier. It provided a platform for me to skim the surface of the water without having any direct contact or involvement with it. So long as I could control the boat, I could avoid sinking and even getting wet. This differed greatly from how I felt when I dove in. When one enters water, sinking is the first inevitable step (we never float without trying). You jump in,

Volume 5, Issue 48

sink, and make your way to the surface. When you jump in, you are fully submerged – at the mercy of the nature of the water and its contents. Then you adapt, working with the nature of the water and become a part of its system. Sometimes, we find ourselves on autopilot – boating along, skimming the surface, floating around the easy way to find a shaded spot of comfort. But...the best way to achieve a full force connection is to dive right in to the deep! Remove the fibreglass-boat-barrier that is stopping you from a direct interaction. Fully submerge into the water if you really want to get to know it. Fully submerge yourself into anything if you really want to know the ins and outs. Open water can be scary – things graze your legs, you can’t see what you might be stepping on or what could be swimming a metre away from you. But if you surrender your fears or reservations and jump right in to something, the emotional connection is a million times stronger. So next time you find yourself on a boat adventure, ask yourself if you to just keep skimming the surface or if you could be missing out on not diving right in.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR And what about the water?

At least on one point the Crown agrees with me. Of course not saying what was really done. This makes it so very important on what I was saying earlier, we do not have a Treaty with the Crown and this fact of Aplied v Trickery then takes us all back to 1612, proving that the Crown Beached our first Treaty with the Crown, the TwoRow Wampum Treaty Of 1612-14 amended to include Watersheds with subject Rivers, creeks, And streams of water including the Great Lakes. As the waters finds its sources from the Sky to the Grounds into Watersheds to all waterbodies then flows out of North America by way of Grand River (Renamed St. Lawrence River in 1924) then into the Atlantic Ocean. There’s more, but not here. I just want to get your attention of what’s involved. Then maybe you’d join me in building up the legal agrument that could quite possibly take us back to 1612. At the time it was no question who owned the East Coast Of North America Starting at the Mississippi River then East to the Atlantic Ocean plus 6 Miles International Line. Graham Steve PorterHill

Where is Niagara Reinforcement Project agreement?

It has recently come to the attention of the Men’s Fire of the Six Nations Grand River Territory that an agreement with reference to completion of the above captioned project has been set. The particulars of the terms of reference for the agreement had been set on a website (www. sixnationstourisum.ca) in order to set up a consultation and consent process for the project with the band members. There is evidence that the process utilized was difficult to participate in, was not inclusive and lacked transparency. Since the release of the tentative terms of the agreement for the recommencement of the project, it has been stated to the Men’s Fire that a final agreement is in place. We have requested the presentation of this definitive agreement to the band members for their due consideration and comment as an integral part of the consult and consent requirement for the project. To date, no such formal agreement has been forthcoming. It is the position of the Men’s Fire that the negotiations between the utility, the province and the band council have failed to

result in the full, accurate and required consultation between the parties and the members of the Six Nations of the Grand River, and this has been communicated to the various parties. Further, it is our belief that for over 100 years the real and intrinsic nature of that value from the Niagara River waters to the residents and businesses of Ontario has been without recognition for the Six Nations, and their predecessors with respect to the ownership and traditional uses of the waters flowing in the Niagara River. As the people of the Six Nations Grand River Territory, we have never given up the ownership of the waters for transportation and for energy. While it is not our objective to stop the development of the required steps to complete a definitive agreement for the wires portion of the project, we are not prepared

to allow the energy value that will continue to be taken from the river to bypass the benefits that historically should have been, and will be accruing, to the people of the Six Nations Grand River Territory. These benefits should have been included in the original negotiations to complete the project, and now must be added to the slate of terms in the Memorandum of Understanding, and in the draft proposed term sheet, before any definitive agreement can be reached between the parties. In the interim, we are requesting that the final and definitive agreement be complete and in place by all parties prior to any work being implemented on the transmission lines or equipment.

Justice denied, again Khill not-guilty verdict has similarity to other cases in British Columbia DOUG WHITLOW

news@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

On Wednesday, June 27, 2018, a jury of his peers found Peter Khill Not Guilty of 2nd Degree Murder in the death of Jonny Styres of the Six Nations Indian Reserve in the Mohawk Territory of Southern, Ontario, Canada. Although the people of the Six Nations Reserve were hoping Khill would be convicted; many people including the author of this essay were not surprised by the Not Guilty verdict as the Six Nations people have never been treated equally by the Canadian Legal System. The few stories being written of in this essay along with that of Jon Styres very clearly indicate that Indigenous people are, in most cases, treated more with contempt than compassion by the Law Courts in Canada. This legal contempt for Natives is being proclaimed Loud and Clear in the Jon Styres story as the Defendant Peter Khill openly admitted shooting Styres after ordering Styres to “put up your hands”; an order to which Styres complied to and was then shot twice for doing as he was ordered to do.

Mr. Khill was a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces. The Canadian Armed Forces show just as much contempt and ill-will toward Indigenous people as the “Forces” do for the Taliban and other enemies of this country.

THE FRED QUILT CASE

This story involves four Chilcotin Indians; Fred Quilt, Christine Quilt; Quilt's Adopted son Robin and Agnes Quilt, Fred's sister-in-law. Fred Quilt was severely injured while unconscious and later died from his injuries suffered during an altercation with two Mounties on the BC Highway # 20 near Alexis Creek. Much of the material in this article comes from the Public Inquiry into the death of Fred Quilt. Famed BC Trial Lawyer, the late Harry Rankin was the Quilt family lawyer at the Inquest. On November 21, 1970, Chilcotin Indians, Fred Quilt and his wife Christine left their home on the Stone Indian Reserve in British Columbia and travelled in their pickup truck to attend a funeral at the Anahim Reserve.

After the funeral, the Quilt family left the Anahim Reserve along with their adopted son Robin and Fred's sister-in-law, Agnes Quilt; all four people were drinking Vanilla Extract and Fred got lost on the way back home. A short time later a Public Health nurse called the RCMP at Alexis Creek to report a stalled truck blocking the highway. When the two Mounties arrived on the scene they found Fred Quilt asleep at the wheel and everyone else asleep as well. The Senior Constable at the scene stated later on that he had attempted to awaken Fred Quilt, but was unable to do so. The officer also stated that there was a strong odor of vanilla coming from the truck and the driver (Fred Quilt) appeared to be intoxicated. The Officer also stated that he attempted to drag Quilt from the truck and Quilt fell on the ground. Christine Quilt said that she awakened to see two men outside their truck attempting to wake her Fred up as Fred lay on the ground. She said one man was a Mountie in uniform and the second man was in civilian clothes wearing a Yellow Jacket and high Cowboy Boots. Christine said that upon awakening she heard the man in yellow shouting at her husband to; “get up you son of a bitch” and then she saw the man wearing the Cowboy Boots jump up and down on Fred Quilt's chest several times. The Constable told the Inquest that he and his partner finally managed to get all four of the Indians in their patrol car and drove them all to the Anahim Reserve. The two Mounties then drove back to the truck and pushed it off the road and set out some flares so no one would hit the truck. Christine Quilt said that as soon as she got to Anahim, she immediately got a ride back to the truck but it was on fire when she and her companions arrived. The Mounties denied setting the truck on fire. Once again, an Inquest found no wrong doing on the part of the RCMP in spite of the many obvious outright lies told by professional experts during the Inquest. In making his closing

statement at the conclusion to the Inquest into Fred Quilt's death; Harry Rankin discussed some of the many racist and discriminatory practices of the RCMP and other Police Services by quoting from a former RCMP Corporal, named Jack Ramsay who had gave an interview to Mclean's Magazine about why police lie; despite a warning from his superiors against the interview. In the interview, Corporal Ramsay said “during my last seven years on the force, I watched fellow members lying, falsifying records and ignoring suspect's rights until I came to dislike putting on the famous scarlet tunic, because it made me feel like a hypocrite”. “Any member with ten years' service has learned to lie skilfully”. A member must place the force ahead of truth; justice; and service to the people of Canada”. You lie, first to survive; then, as fear and guilt blunt conscience, to get ahead”. GUSTAFSON LAKE INCIDENT

The third part of this essay involves a quick glimpse into the Gustafson Lake Incident of 1995 in the same geographic part of British Columbia where Fred Quilt had lived and died after or during an altercation with the RCMP. The incident was instigated and carried out by “E” Division of the RCMP and supported by the Canadian Armed Forces and the FBI. The Gustafson Lake Incident was a completely False and Irresponsible Act carried out by the RCMP and Canadian Forces who used “Indians” for target practice. The Gustafson Lake Standoff occurred in the summer of 1995 after the RCMP had wrongfully informed the people of BC that the Mounties had uncovered a “domestic terrorist camp” in the South Central Highlands of British Columbia. According to RCMP Media Spokesperson, Sergeant Peter Montague, the Mounties were attempting to talk the “home grown terrorists” into giving up and surrendering in an attempt to avoid any bloodshed. In the event that they refused to surrender unconditionally, the Mounties had seconded an

expert in Domestic Terrorism from Quantico, Virginia and had sent the Agent to “the lake” to command the RCMP and Canadian Forces working on the ground and in the bush around Gustafson Lake. In the trial of the Gustafson Lake Defendants in 1996-97, those in attendance learned that the agent had a plan to build an army of 2100 hundred Canadian Soldiers and Police to assault the camp and (kill if necessary) any or all of the group of 21 poorly equipped old Indigenous men, women and children. After being harassed by the RCMP and Canadian Army all through the summer and fall of 1995, the “Indian Terrorists” surrendered and were later Tried in a Court of Law. The trial of the Gustafson Lake Incident, defendants carried on for almost a year and each and every one of the Native and Non-Native defendants were found Guilty of their crimes against the State by a Jury of their Peers and all of the defendants (except Shelagh Franklin, a white woman who had a new born baby) went to jail. The Gustafson Lake Incident and the Jon Styres incident have several things in common. At Gustafson Lake the Canadian Forces were supporting and training Canadian police officers in the use of Automatic Rifles and how to utilize Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC's) in battle against Indigenous people. In the Jon Styres Incident, the Canadian Armed Forces had trained Peter Khill to kill enemies of the State. In both instances, the aggressors had openly admitted shooting at Indigenous people with the intent to kill and were found innocent of their crimes by a jury of their peers. In both incidents, the Jury was almost all white with one person of colour in attendance. In the Gustafson Lake Trial, the Jury Foreman was a BC Native. Men and women in uniform are supposed uphold the Laws of the land in the Canadian Legal System. Abraham Lincoln said that God created all men equal; the Canadian Legal System treats most Indigenous lawbreakers unlawfully; usually unjustly and in most cases unequally, especially in the Law Courts of the land.

Curriculum writing session cancellation sparks concern CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO – The sudden cancellation of curriculum writing sessions designed to fulfil findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has Indigenous leaders expressing concern and calling it a ``step backward'' on the road to reconciliation. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Deputy Grand Chief Derek Fox says the Ontario government's decision to cancel the sessions, announced abruptly late last week, won't help efforts to fulfil the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Those included enhancing Indigenous perspective in the province's school curriculum and the cancelled sessions where to help achieve that goal. The Ministry of Education cancelled the sessions _ which were scheduled for two weeks in July _ after the Tory government clamped down travel spending across the public service after taking office June 29. ``We have heard from many educators, Elders and knowledge keepers and share their frustration as this important work was dropped just before it was set to begin,'' Fox said in a statement. ``This is a step backwards on our journey towards reconciliation. The education of the youth in Ontario shouldn't be dictated by the party in power, but left to professionals who acknowledge that identity-building is the only positive move forward.'' The government also cancelled curriculum writing sessions on American Sign Language and Indigenous Languages in Kindergarten set for the

FREE

same time. Fox said the decision will impact Indigenous participants, many of whom had booked time away from work to attend the sessions. ``We are asking this government to reaffirm its commitment ... working with Indigenous partners to address the legacy of residential schools, close gaps and remove barriers, support Indigenous cultures, and reconcile relationships,'' he said. Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said Ontario had previously committed to working with Indigenous partners to address the legacy of residential schools. ``Premier Doug Ford needs to tell us how his government plans to deliver on the TRC Calls to Action,'' he said in a statement. Ben Menka, spokesman for Education Minister Lisa Thompson, said the government will continue to move ahead with the updated Truth and Reconciliation Commission curriculum revisions. ``The ministry will work with experts, elders and Indigenous communities to develop the support materials for the updated curriculum,'' he said in an email, adding that the ministry moved ahead with the cancellation without direction from Thompson. ``In keeping with the commitment Premier Doug Ford made to run government more efficiently, all ministries will seek to carry out initiatives in the most cost-effective way possible,'' Menka said. NDP legislator Peggy Sattler slammed the Progressive Conservative government for making decision to cut the sessions behind closed doors.

Water quality concerns Chiefs want Khill appeal OTTAWA — A new study shows First Nations people on reserves don’t trust the drinking water quality in their communities. The research, which was conducted by the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada, looked at hundreds of residents on reserves and compared their opinions of the qual-

ity of their drinking water to views held by people living in similar-sized communities from other small towns across Canada. Of the reserve residents polled, only half of respondents rated their water quality as “good,” compared to about three-quarters of non-Indigenous participants.

TORONTO — The Chiefs of Ontario are supporting a call to the Attorney General seeking an appeal in the acquittal of Peter Khill. Khill was ruled not guilty by a Hamilton jury in the shooting death of Jonathan Styres, an Indigenous man who Khill shot out front of Khill's rural Hamilton home. At his trial Khill argued that

he thought Styres posed a threat and shot him in self defense. Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill is requesting an appeal in the case. The Chiefs of Ontario released a statement backing Six Nations' request for appeal, adding that Indigneous people in the province deserve to see justice.

Mother of MMIW victim sues police REGINA — The mother of a missing indigenous woman in Regina is launching a multi million dollar class action lawsuit against the RCMP for mishandling her daughters missing persons case. Danita Faith went missing in 2007. Her mother, Diane BigEagle, alleges in the case that the RCMP are willfully negligent regarding missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada. BigEagle says in the suit that she met with

RCMP over 50 times to talk about her daughter’s disappearance and says they never took notes. She said investigators initially dismissed her missing persons report and told her that her daughter would probably come home. The suit is seeking $500 million in damages and $100 million in damages — in hopes the case will change the behaviour of RCMP towards missing Indigenous persons investigations.

OTTAWA — A group that tracks media reports of the killing of women and girls says there were 78 victims of femicide across Canada in the first half of this year. A report from the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability lists the victims by age, location and name, where possible. But in some cases, names are missing.

The observatory says that's because there has been a growing trend in some places not to identify homicide victims. Of the 78 victims counted, the report lists a dozen as Indigenous. But the authors note such cases are under counted because media reports, on which the numbers are based, don't always identify homicide victims as Indigenous.

OTTAWA — New federal legislation will put Inuktitut language speakers on equal footing with other language speakers across Canada. The hopes lay in a new Indigneous Languages Act that the Liberal government will introduce this

fall. The bill was announced in 2016 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Consultation groups across Canada are wrapping up in the next few months in preparation for creating the proposed act.

OTTAWA — Telefilm Canada announced a $3-million investment into four Indigenous feature-length films featuring talent from seven different Indigenous nations. Mohawk director Zoe Hopkins is leading one of

four projects selected by Telefilm and imagiNATIVE Film Festival to receive funding. Hopkins' new film will be produced by Laura Milliken of Big Soul Productions.

First Nations to challenge Nova Scotia marijuana monopoly CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nova Scotia First Nations appear poised to take on the province's marijuana monopoly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including one Mi'kmaq community that has enlisted Olympian Ross Rebagliati to roll out a ``seed to sale'' cannabis operation. Sipekne'katik First Nation in Indian Brook, N.S., has plans to grow cannabis and sell it directly to consumers, while Millbrook First Nation is considering retail locations, bypassing the provincial Crown corporation slated to control sales once the drug is legal on Oct. 17. The government says selling cannabis from a privately owned storefront will remain illegal in Nova Scotia, but Rebagliati argues that First Nations lands are federal jurisdiction and they are within their rights to set up

dispensaries. The disagreement could set the stage for a potential constitutional showdown over cannabis sales. ``This is precedent-setting,'' Rebagliati, a gold-medal snowboarder, cannabis expert and entrepreneur said in an interview this week after his second visit to the Mi'kmaq community formerly called the Shubenacadie First Nation. ``It's rather unfortunate (the province) is taking that route.'' Canada's provinces and territories have opted for one of three retail models for over-the-counter cannabis sales: Private, public or a hybrid of the two. In Nova Scotia, sales will be government-controlled. ``We have said all along that our approach to legalization is through a public health lens and that we will start well-regulated and tightly controlled,'' a Department of Justice spokeswoman said in a statement. ``At this time, we are not considering

a retail model outside of the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation.'' The province's stringent stance doesn't appear to deter First Nations communities, with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq Chiefs indicating it is exploring the economic opportunities of cannabis. Rebagliati said the Mi'kmaq community in Indian Brook has a strong plan, and he's put together a ``gold-medal team'' to help them reach their goal. ``The model is to go seed to sale and that boosts the margins quite substantially and gives them a competitive edge,'' he said from B.C. ``They came to me with their ideas and they are super progressive. ``First Nations are looking for job opportunities and economic opportunities for their people, and this is a new industry that has a lot of those opportunities and potential for substantial financial gain.''

Police charge Manitoba man with murder in case of missing Alberta Indigenous woman

TWO ROW TIMES

DESMARAIS, AB â&#x20AC;&#x201D; RCMP have charged a man with second-degree murder after the remains of an Indigenous woman from northern Alberta were found in Manitoba nearly three years after she disappeared. Gloria Gladue, 44, was last seen in Wabasca, Alta., in October 2015 and reported missing by her family a month later. Her daughter, Nicole Gladue-Weesemat, said the family is shattered by the news. ``I'm in shock and I'm devastated and in denial,'' she said in an interview. ``But it just keeps getting more real.''

Gladue-Weesemat said she expected that her mom would come home. ``Honestly, I did,'' she said. ``That's what every family hopes and I never for one minute thought this would be the outcome, and it is. I don't want it to be real, but it's real.'' She said Gladue's family, which includes seven children and 17 grandchildren, will miss her terribly. ``She had a beautiful smile, laugh,'' said her daughter. ``She was such a beautiful soul. Now she's gone.'' Police said Gladue's remains were found in rural Manitoba on June 17 and positively identified by the Winnipeg medical examiner. Grant Arthur Sneesby,

68, of Gladstone, Man., was arrested Wednesday in Edmonton and has been charged with second-degree murder and indignity to human remains. He is to appear in provincial court in Desmarais, Alta., on July 12. Gladue-Weesemat said she will be there. ``I'm just devastated that another Aboriginal woman was missing and that the outcome was that she was murdered,'' she said. Her mother never mentioned the man who's charged in her death, she said. ``All I know is his name and that he's white,'' said Gladue-Weesemat. Police said no further information will be released because the matter is before the courts.

Chief Bob Gloade of Millbrook First Nation said the community has invested in a cannabis company and is considering opening a storefront. ``We're focusing on the retail side of it going forward and we're working on details in that respect,'' he said, adding that for now the community isn't considering launching its own production. ``We're still looking at a couple of years out before we'll start seeing the benefits from an economic standpoint ... but it will have a significant impact." Sipekne'katik Chief Michael Sack did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but Rebagliati confirmed that he has met with the community leader. Rebagliati founded Ross' Gold, a medical marijuana business, in 2013. Earlier this year he launched LegacyRR, which focuses on growing cannabis and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Although he said the

details of an agreement between LegacyRR and the Sipene'katik First Nation are still being worked out, he said the Indigenous community's dispensaries could be branded Mi'kmaq Legacy. McGill University constitutional law professor Mark Walters said the situation raises important and controversial legal and constitutional issues. ``Legal conflicts on this point are bound to flare up in many places across Canada,'' he said in an email, noting it appears many First Nations are making plans to grow and sell cannabis. Walters said it's difficult to say whether provinces have the right to prevent First Nations from selling cannabis on reserve. He said the ``orthodox'' legal answer would be that provincial laws on cannabis sales will apply on reserves, unless a First Nation could show that regulating the sale of cannabis was a custom, practice or

tradition integral to its distinctive culture, which might be extremely difficult to do. However, Walters said there's a strong argument that federal law protects a much broader right to Aboriginal self-government than the courts have so far acknowledged. ``There is considerable room here for an interpretation of the law that would acknowledge Indigenous rights of self-government over this issue,'' he said. Wayne MacKay, professor emeritus of law at Dalhousie University, said one the strongest arguments for the Mi'kmaq community would be a treaty rights claim to a moderate livelihood under the Supreme Court's Marshall decision. MacKay added that ``the core of their argument would likely be the right of First Nations to manage their own resources as part of their constitutional rights to self government.''

Inuit-specific child-first initiative to address the challenges faced by Inuit children,'' Philpott said. ``We will continue to work together with Inuit to improve access to quality services and ensure that children are supported.'' Jordan's Principle is aimed at overcoming red tape that delays or prevents Indigenous children from getting the services they need. It ensures that the department first contacted pays for the service to a child and can later seek reimbursement. It is named after Jordan River Anderson, a fiveyear-old boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba, who died in hospital in 2005 while the federal and provincial governments bickered over who would pay for his home care. More than 33,000

requests for support and services have been approved under the principle since July 2016, but it doesn't cover Inuit. Obed said the on-reserve, off-reserve disputes that arise with First Nations are echoed in squabbles between the territories and provinces. Agreements between those jurisdictions cover basic care, but don't deal with rare diseases or chronic illnesses. ``Specific care for rare diseases or certain issues in relation to ongoing illnesses that receive constant care, that's when we get to some challenges,'' said Obed. ``Inuit children get caught up in jurisdictional issues around care and then they don't receive the care they should receive. Minister Philpott has pledged to work with us to resolve those challenges.''

Loss of Greyhound bus service leaves some rural areas out of luck First Nations residents in northern Prairies depended on buses to get to bigger cities for medical care WINNIPEG – The end of Greyhound bus service across Western Canada is the latest in a string of decisions that have left many rural and northern residents with few options for public transportation. The southern Prairies lost Via Rail service in 1990, when a line that ran through Brandon, Man., Regina and Calgary was shut down. Then there were Greyhound cuts, such as in 2012, when the bus company stopped operating on a number of roads including Highway 2 in Manitoba. Now, Greyhound has announced it will end all its routes in the West, save for one between Vancouver and Seattle, at the end of October. Rick Chrest, the mayor of Brandon, Man., says it's a blow for people who don't own vehicles because there is no rail service in many areas and access to passenger airlines is limited. Chrest is hopeful smaller private operators will step in, but that didn't happen after the 2012 cuts. ``This will take away yet another option for public transportation that certainly many people rely on,'' Chrest said. ``We might be hopeful that some other aspect of the private sector may start stepping up and filling the void.'' Chrest pointed to a private firm that offers a shuttle bus that carries Brandon residents two hours east to the airport in Winnipeg. Brandon has an airport, but the only major scheduled service

is a daily WestJet run to Calgary. Bus charter companies, which transport sports teams, might also find a niche in regular scheduled service, he said. Greyhound currently services small communities across the sparsely populated Prairies. There are 46 stops alone during the 19-hour run from Winnipeg to Calgary – places such as MacGregor, Man., Sintaluta, Sask. and Bassano, Alta. ``It's going to be quite a loss to a significant number of people,'' Chrest said. In the north, bus service is relied on by many First Nations residents who travel to bigger cities for medical care. ``It is already well documented that our citizens have to ride the bus for hours, some longer than 14 hours, in order to see a doctor. How will they get access to adequate health care now?'' said Grand Chief Arlen Dumas of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. Manitoba Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler said Monday he is hopeful other private firms will fill the Greyhound void, but said there will be no financial aid from the province. ``We think there are a lot of smart people who could do this, however ... our government certainly won't be in the business of being in business," Schuler said. "We do not believe in subsidies."

BRANTFORD — “Friday Night Fights Under the Lights” promoted by the Bell City Boxing Club drew about 320 to the Knights of Columbus Hall in Brantford who, along with a full fight card, saw two Six Nations boxers make their debut to the ring. Rookie Super-heavyweight Brody Williams and light-heavy-weight Skyler Williams, no relation, each fought well against more experienced

boxers, Brody losing a close decision to Tara Mirz from Brampton’s King of the Ring Boxing Club, while Skyler Williams won a unanimous decision over Nolan McKinley. For both fighters their first amateur bout showed them and coach Bill Williams of the Bell City Boxing Club a lot and it was all good. “It’s a lot different training than actually being in the ring,” says Brody and echoed by his coach. There is no hiding the fact that Brody Williams is not in what you would

call good shape, but he has lost almost 70 lbs. in preparation for his debut and is still losing weight in the gym. Even so, at the end of the three rounds, it was McKinley sucking air harder than Williams. McKinley was throwing a lot of punches but did not seem to do much damage to the big man who just kept coming forward throwing bombs. Not all landed but when they did, it backed McKinley off. Encouraged by his corner, Williams landed enough power shots and avoided being hit enough to impress one of the

judges to give Williams a round. “Wow, that felt good,” said Brody following the fight. “But I know I gotta get back in the gym and work a little harder, but I’m proud of what I did.” And so he should have been. For McKinley, it was like trying to fend off an enraged rhino with boxing gloves. Although McKinley won the split decision, it was clear that he would be going home in worse pain than Williams. Both Six Nations fighters drew a large and loud Six Nations follow-

ings who did not go home disappointed. Days before fight night, Coach Bill Williams told TRT that Skyler Williams was as fit and as focused as he has seen him. “His cardio is ridiculous,” he said. “He can go on forever.” For the first part of the opening round Nolan McKinley, fighting out of Irwins Boxing Club of Thorold / Niagara Falls, and Skyler Williams were getting used the moment, but when the blows started, they flew in flurries, both ways. Surviving the first round of his first fight

relatively unscathed gave Williams the confidence he may have lacked going into the ring, and from then on, Williams was the aggressor. He was stopped for an eight-count at one point, but insisted after the fight he was not hurt by the blow. In amateur boxing, especially in the heavyweights, and this early in the careers of both fighters, the referees are instructed to be very careful with new fighters to the ring and always lean towards fighter safety.

Arrows beat Braves to face A’s in first round Hard-working Six Nations squad ready for clean slate in playoffs

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — With some of their star players off with the Iroquois Nationals to the World Lacrosse Championships, the Six Nations Arrows closed out the regular season schedule with two wins, 13-10, Sunday over the Kitchener Waterloo Braves after a 16-4 win over the last place Barrie Lakeshores, Friday night in Barrie. Those four points bring the Arrows into a 22-point tie for sixth place with the Mimico Mountaineers with identical records of 11-9-0. However, the Arrows have 190 goals for compared to Mimico’s 163, and goals against records which show the Arrows have allowed 152 goals against compared to Mimico’s 168, giving the Arrows the advantage in pairing up for the playoffs. Although this is not the powerhouse Arrows this year which fans may be used to, however, they are a lunch-bucket, come-to-work-every-day

sort of team, good enough to make the post season when everything becomes new and everyone starts at zero on the playoff points race. Sunday night at the ILA the shorthanded Arrows had to battle the Braves who knew before the game began it would be their last of the season and they left it all on the floor, but the Arrows power, even if depleted, won the day.

The Braves scored first as the teams see-sawed through the first 20 minutes to a 4-4 tie. Scoring for the Arrows were Greg Elijah-Brown with two, playing in only his second game of the season. AP player, Leland Powless who scored two, has been with the A’s for 17 games this season and has earned 17 goals, 28 assists for 45 points. A quick unassisted goal 18 seconds into the

second period sparked a power surge on the arrows bench and Six Nations answered with four to take an 8-5 lead by the midway point in the period. But it would not stand as the Braves regrouped with three goals before the end of the period. It was Tehoka Nanticoke’s goal at 17:49 that gave the Arrows a one goal lead, 9-8, with 20 minutes left in regulation time.

Jake Rosa playing in only his ninth game of the year, evened the score at 1:03, but KW returned fire with back-to-back goals by Scott DelZotto. But Owen Hill took charge scoring back-toback goals of his own, the first shorthanded, which Devon Buckshot added to with a power play goal at 18:00 for the 13-10 win. Drayden Patey who has carried most of the goaltending duties this season,

closed the season with his ninth win of the year. He came over to the Arrows from the St. Catharines Athletics during the off season and has also spent time in Orangeville and Halton Hills. Patey has won four of his last five starts. As of Monday noon, it was still uncertain when the Arrows will open the playoff season, but they will be facing the St. Catharines Athletics.

Super-Heavyweight Brody Williams loses close split decision

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

Coming back after the eight-count, Williams turned it on and took the second and third round while fighting off McKinley. There was no doubt about the unanimous decision in William’s favour. “Once I got my jab working, I could see it was tiring him in the second round,” said Williams. The sight of blood running from the nose of McKinley in the second round pumped Williams up even more. With the first fight and his first win under his belt, Williams is already looking forward to another one. “He hit me with a few good shots and I said, ‘damn it. How did that happen’? Man, that’s fun,” he said, standing beside his 12-year-old daughter Lola, who is also a fighter with Bell City.

“She was supposed to

be on the card tonight but

they couldn’t find an opponent for her,” he said.

According to dad and

her coach, Lola is going to do very well in the ring.

“She is very strong for a

12-year-old girl,” says dad. For his part, Brody

Williams was also pleased with his first showing

and said he can’t wait to get back to training for another one.

Bell City’s Bill Williams,

no relation to Skyler, Brody or Bell City boxer Jennifer Williams, who was also on the card, was very happy with the performances of all of his boxers, but was especially proud of Brody Williams. “I am so proud of Brody,” said Williams. “You don’t know how hard he worked and trained to get ready for this fight and the sacrifices along the way.” Jennifer Williams of Bell City was on the card, fighting Rebecca Domm of the Durham Boxing Club. Williams won by the referee stopping the fight in the first round for a very impressive BCBC win. The Main Event of the evening featured Bell City’s Devon Renwick who won his bout against Steel Town Boxing Club’s Tyler Devchenzo in a unanimous decision. The two had met previously and Renwick had won that decision as well.

Deja vu as I-Nats blocked from world games again Players vow to travel using Haudenosaunee passports despite visa issues JIM WINDLE

I-Nats roster set for World Championship VALERIE TALIMAN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Once again, Haudenosaunee passport issues have blocked the Iroquois Nationals from participating in the World Lacrosse Championships, as happened in 2010. They were to leave Toronto Tuesday as a team for Israel where this year’s games are to be held for the first time. After being delayed at Person airport, they decided, as a team, that they would not travel under any flag other than that of the Haudenosaunee, even if that means missing the tournament altogether. A similar situation developed in 2010, when the I-Nats pulled out of the Worlds and instead played a tournament in Hawaii. After intervention from Hilary Clinton, who took up their cause, allowed the team to fly out of the US, it was the English immigration police that said no to the Haudenosaunee passport. This years team is prepared to make the same sacrifice as Team Iroquois did in 2010. Iroquois Nationals Executive Director Ansley Jemison, brought the team to Six Nations to practice on the Powless field Tuesday and spoke with the TRT about the situation. ”The visas are in the works due to negotiations between Canada and Israel,” he said. “We travel on Haudenosaunee passports to many countries and believe it will be solved quickly.” But he seemed to be calm and confident the problem will be worked outing time to participate. “I think there was a bit of a communications issue,” he said. “I think the documents we are traveling on (Haudenosaunee Passport) raises a little concern from time to time. There are a lot of countries that have not heard of what we are doing and who we are. It just requires a couple more steps, T’s crossed and I’s dotted, that’s all, and we hope to hear by the end of the day today and we’ll get on the next flight tomor-

NEDROW, NY – The Iroquois Nationals proudly announce the roster of players and coaches for the 2018 Iroquois Nationals Men’s Team competing in the 2018 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship from July 11 to 21 in Netanya, Israel. With 48 teams playing 175 games, the 2018 championship will be the largest ever. The FIL is comprised of 60 member-nations and hosts the FIL Men’s Lacrosse World Championship every four years. Competing in the top Blue Division against five other countries, the Iroquois Nationals will face off against the United States, Canada, England, Scotland and Australia. The 2018 Iroquois Nationals Men’s World Team includes standout athletes with collegiate and professional experience, including all four Thompson Brothers. The team roster displays confederacy strength showcasing athletes from each of the six Haudenosaunee Nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. The team once again is traveling on Haudenosaunee passports. Head Coach Mark Burnam said the Iroquois Nationals are hard at work honing their skills in preparation for their first game against Team USA on Thursday, July 12, at 8:30 pm. “We have some of the finest athletes in the world competing on our team and we bring a lot of heart to the game with our traditions and competitive style,” Burnam said. “We’re proud of the team we’ve put together for the 2108 World Championship and we plan to play hard for our people.” Burnam is joined on the coaching staff by Assistant Coach Brett Bucktooth, Offensive Coordinator Scott Marr (UAlbany) and Defensive Coordinator Lars Tiffany (University of Virginia.) The full roster is as follows: ATTACK – Austin Sta-

row.” Time differences became an issue as well making Monday in Canada, Sunday in Israel and government offices were closed. ‘But things are moving towards the positive so we’re certainly looking forward to that,” says Jemison. He is playing down the negatives, to a degree, to allow government officials in both Canada and Israel to sort out the problem. “You know what they say, if life sends YOU lemons, make lemonade, so we made arrangements to come here to Six Nations and have some good practice time,” he said. “We were fortunate enough to get back to one of our territories here at Six Nations of the Grand, there was a field already lined welcoming us. It’s a great feeling to be here on our territory together as a team.” He and the I-Nats players, coaches and support staff have determined not to let all this upset the focus of this team who remain hopeful, aware that should they get clearance soon enough, they will arrive and play the same day after several hours in the air. Jemison is also hopeful the I-Nats will arrive in time to participate in the opening ceremonies as representatives of the game’s origins. “It is important that we be there on the world stage as originators of the game,” he says. He gave credit to last years women's team, which did a lot of the groundwork and document creation which the

men’s team is using to support their case. “Our hats go off to last year’s Women’s National Team who laid a lot of this groundwork that we are using as well to open this up for us and we thank them. It’s important to recognize that our women are being our leaders in that sense,” says Jemison. He admits that if they are blocked this year, it may have serious negative implications for the entire Iroquois Nationals programs. “One can only imagine how much of a distraction this will be to the entire World Championship if the I-Nats are not playing,” says Jemison. But beyond the games, participation in this World tournament offers the players a chance to see the world, talk with people from other cultural and backgrounds and teach others about the Haudenosaunee and the Six Nations Confederacy, which has sanctioned the I-Nats to represent Haudenosaunee people. The revised travel documents carried by the 2018 I-Nats have been updated from those used in 2010, to meet some of the government’s concerns which Jemison is still hopeful will be accepted. Officially known as the FIL Men’s World Championship the games will feature 46 national teams, the largest ever, in a 10-day event between July 12-21 at the Netanya Stadium in Netanya Israel. The event will be broadcast to more than 40 countries and featured on ESPN in U.S.A. and TSN in Canada.

According to a media release from FIL officials, “The Iroquois National team informed the Federation of International Lacrosse and the local organizers that the reigning World bronze medalists, the Iroquois Nationals, have been delayed in their attempt to travel to Israel due to passport procedural issues while departing Canada for the 2018 FIL Men’s World Lacrosse Championship.” The 2018 FIL Men’s Lacrosse Championship is scheduled for Wingate National Sport Institution and Netanya Stadium, July 12-21 in Netanya, Israel. The Iroquois Nationals are scheduled to play the first day of competition at 8:30 p.m., July 12, at Netanya Stadium. “The Federation of International Lacrosse is working to assist the Iroquois Nationals and the Israel Organizing Committee to resolve this issue,” said FIL President Sue Redfern. “FIL would very much like to assure the presence of the Iroquois Nationals at the 2018 FIL Men’s World Championship.” On behalf of the Israel Organizing Committee, David Lasday, Chief Operating Officer of Israel Lacrosse, said, “The Organizing Committee is working diligently to assist the Iroquois Nationals to be able to board their flight to Israel for the Championship. Their participation is very important to the success of the event. “The unique nature of the Iroquois Nationals has led to challenges procedurally using Haudenosaunee passports for travel and entry into Israel.”

Rivermen in tight with Titans

OHSWEKEN — The Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen are in first place after Friday night’s 12-9 win over the visiting KW Velocity at the GPA. It began with the Velocity opening a 2-0 had but an explosion of Six Nations offence ended the first period with the Rivermen up 8-3. KW had a good second period outscoring the Rivermen 2-1 but still remained behind 9-5 after 40 minutes of play. Things got a bit scary for Six Nations fans after the Velocity unloaded three goals to slip alongside

Six Nations only a goal behind at the 5:51 mark. Todd Squire and Roger Vyse put some more room between them and after Ryan Carruthers score KW’s last goal, Joe Maracle Jr. scored number 12 for the Rivermen, and the win. This Saturday the Rivermen will be taking on the Brooklin Merchants in Brooklin and completing the 2018 schedule in Oakville Sunday July 15th, against the Titans possibly for first place. After 14 games played, the Rivermen lead the Titans of Oakville by 2 points. There are two games left in the schedule for both teams which could make July 15th game a barn-burner.

SIX NATIONS — Monday night the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs lost a 9-8 heartbreaker against the Oakville Rock in Oakville, dropping the Chiefs into third place. Oakville pounced on the Chiefs right from the faceoff, beginning with Dan Craig’s goal 31 seconds into the game. It didn’t stop there. Soon Challenging Rogers, Andrew Kew and Johnny Powless had two, set the Chiefs back 5-0. In the second period the Chiefs began showing vital signs as Cody Jamie-

son and Jordan Durston put the Chiefs on the scoresheet. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, Powless completed his hat-trick and Josh Jubenville closed the second chapter with Oakville well ahead 7-2. Eric Fennell made it 7-3 at 1:11 of the third period, which Oakville’s Dan Craig answered quickly. Chiefs Dhane Smith very nearly did it all in the final frame scoring at 3:01, 6:21, 8:18, and 18:45. But Shane Simpson interrupted Smith’s string and Powless netted his fourth goal of the night.

Gates and Waylon Abrams sandwiched a Northmen goal between them as Six Nations held a 2-1 first period lead.

At the recommendation of the OJBLL Executive Committee there will be

slightly different East and West Conferences playoff formats for this season for the first round only. At the end of regular season play the winners of the 3 East Divisions will select their opponent for the first round of playoffs only, with the higher seed selecting first. After the three teams have picked, the remaining two teams would play each other. All playoff

rounds will remain as 3 out of 5 series. In this situation a divisional winner might not be one of the top three teams by points, but will still pick in turn. The West Conference will continue with the current point system process where the team with the highest point standing will play the 8th place team and so on, (2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th).

BRANTFORD — The Jr. C lacrosse Brantford Warriors opened the first round of playoffs against the Six Nations Warriors Monday night at the Wayne Gretzky Centre in Brantford. Not only do they share the same moniker they also are well matched on the floor and produced an exciting, end-to-end game in Game no.1 or the best of five. Brantford edged out Six Nations for second place at the end of the regular season by one point relegating Six Nations to third place. The momentum shifted

several times in Game no.1. Six Nation’s Shane Henry fired the first shot in the battle of the Warriors to give Six Nations a 1-0 lead. Brantford responded as Connor Merritt tied it up exactly five minutes later. Six Nations strung the next three goals together as Jon Parry-Smith, Ryan Johnson and Jason Martin scored in succession, all assisted by Tehas Powless. Jayden Drage slipped one in at 15:59 for Brantford to end the period with Six Nations leading 4-2. Drage also opened the second period with a powerplay goal at 20-seconds to get a step closer at 4-3. Jordan Mike and Henry opened up a little more space for Six Nations at 6-3,

but Brantford’s Ryan Robillard and Spencer Martin kept the teams close at 6-5 for Six Nations. When Caleb Wells made it a new game at 2:20 of the third, Tehas Powless said, not so fast, scoring exactly 20 seconds later. Then suddenly, Six Nation lost all equalibrium for about three minutes during which time Merritt, Brayden Doxtator, Wells and Drage all scored for Brantford and with 10 minutes remaining, Six Nations were behind 10-7. Ryan Johnson cut into the Brantford lead at 13:50 and Mike capitalized on a powerplay but they could not find the timing goal that would send the game to overtime and lost game one, 10-9. Game no.2 of the best of five is set for the ILA for Saturday afternoon, July 14th at 2 pm. Game no. 3 will be played in Brantford Monday, July 16 at 8 pm.

Notice of a Proposed Change to a Renewable Energy Project Project Name: Otter Creek Wind Farm Project Location: Municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario Dated at: Chatham-Kent the 11th of July, 2018

MECP Reference Number: 2629-AKAKE6 IESO Reference Number: L-006353-WIN-001-050

Applicant: The Otter Creek Wind Farm (the Project) is being proposed by Otter Creek Wind Farm Limited Partnership (Otter Creek), a partnership of Renewable Energy Systems Canada (RES Canada), Boralex Inc. and Walpole Island First Nation. The Project is supported by the Municipality of Chatham-Kent which has the option to participate in the Project after commercial operation commences. Project Description: The Project is subject to the Environmental Protection Act (the Act), and Ontario Regulation 359/09. It requires a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) prior to construction. The Project, as proposed, has a maximum nameplate capacity of up to 50 megawatts (MW) which is considered a Class 4 wind facility. The location of key project components is shown in the map below. Additional information about the Project, including REA reports, is available on the Project website: www.ottercreekwindfarm.ca. Proposed Change: In the REA application submitted to MECP (formerly MOECC) in March, 2017, two potential turbine foundation types were identified: Spread Footing Foundation and Deep Foundations. Since submission, Otter Creek has determined that pile driving and blasting to facilitate installation of turbine foundations is not required. As a result, the option to use deep foundations has been removed. The nameplate capacity and location of wind turbines remains unchanged. Similarly, the amount, type and location of land potentially impacted as a result of the Project also remains unchanged from what was presented to the public and consulted on during the REA process. Further Information: Otter Creek has prepared a Project Modifications Report to document minor revisions to some of the REA reports, required as a result of the change noted above. Further information on this proposed change and a copy of the report can be found at: www.ottercreekwindfarm.ca. Contact Information: To provide feedback, please email: info@ottercreekwindfarm.ca or contact: Julie Lajoye Boralex Inc.
