CALGARY — Legendary wrestler Bret (The Hitman) Hart was given an honorary Blackfoot name at an Indigenous ceremony in Calgary recently.

Hart's new Blackfoot name means ``Coura-

geous Chief.''

The 61 year old was born into a legendary wrestling family led by his father Stu Hart, founder of Calgary's Stampede Wrestling.

Hart said receiving the name was important since the Blackfoot had planned at one point to give the honour to his father before he died.

NEW YORK — A new study says there is no amount of alcohol consumption that is good for your overall health.

Previously, health officials said moderate

drinking wouldn’t be harmful and could offer some benefits. Now new research argues that no amount of drinking is safe.

The study found alcohol was the seventh leading risk factor for premature death in 2016, and that drinkers are at higher risk of cancer and road injuries.

Open letter to Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council Nahnda Garlow Editor, Two Row Times 50 Generations Drive Ohsweken, ON N0A 1M0

To the members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council and the Clanmothers of the 49 families:

My name is Nahnda Garlow and I am Onondaga of Six Nations.

My husband, Jonathan Garlow, is a Six Nations Mohawk.

As you are aware, Jonathan is the publisher of the Two Row Times and I am its editor.

I am writing this open letter to you to address a document and accusations shared on your official website: a timeline published at the following link. https://www.haudenosauneeconfederacy. com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/HCCC_ Timeline_Handout_V2_ PROOF.pdf The document launches three harmful and untrue accusations against the Two Row Times, our team, as well as myself and my husband by implication in our roles as editor and publisher, respectively.

The first allegation, on page 10 and dated May 2, 2015 states that “Ava Hill, Two Row Times and others working together to attempt to discredit HDI, suggesting giving up treaty rights.”

Two Row Times is not working with Ava Hill or anyone else in any attempt to discredit HDI. The allegation is untrue and ridiculous.

The non-specific and unreferenced allegation Two Row Times is part of a collective “suggesting giv-

ing up treaty rights” is untrue. Further to that, the generalization that I as editor, or the Two Row Times as a publication have ever suggested anyone give up a treaty right is malicious and disrespectful.

The second allegation on the same page and date line says, “Two Row Times and others using only second page of a two page document to try and suggest Aaron on the take, but the paper was part of an attempted resolution sanctioned by Chiefs and Clan Mothers, people still using to cause divisions between HDI and HCCC”.

Again, without having reference to any specific item, the allegation that myself, or anyone on our team or our business is “suggesting Aaron is on the take” or “part of an attempted resolution” is not factual and damaging.

No one from the Two

Row Times was involved in the multi-clan demand to dissolve HDI or the call for the removal of Detlor, Hill and Doolittle. However we were present when it was read aloud and reported that it happened.

The third allegation, on page 11, says on October 3, 2015 an “HDI attack is ongoing by Two Row Times, and individuals in two of our Clan families.”

There is no specific article or instance to point to what this third allegation is referring to.

All of the allegations are untrue and libellous to our team and our brand.

The inference that our organization’s news reporting is anti-Confederacy or politically motivated is untrue and damaging to my personal character and integrity as a journalist.

The Two Row Times has worked since 2013 to serve the Six Nations

community by telling the stories of our people from an Ongwehonwe perspective in a modern way.

We not only provide the community with local news. We have also pushed for the indigenous rights of our residents and held local politicians in the surrounding area accountable for their lack of knowledge on indigenous issues.

Our writers have helped families fight persecution when they pursue traditional medicine.

Members of our entire team have helped collect donations for families and grassroots organizations in crisis.

As a news organization we have showcased the works of the people of Six Nations by raising the profile for justice in court cases facing our community members. Our reporting has helped local police

apprehend criminals on the territory. Our team has brought in facilitators to offer training for our youth in media and the arts.

Six Nations is our home, and we love the people of this community — even when we disagree with their actions. The allegation that the Two Row Times or anyone on our team are involved in a political ploy to “attack” anything in the Six Nations community is preposterous.

We are storytellers.

While I understand that our coverage of the matters surrounding HDI may be uncomfortable for some individuals within the HCCC or HDI — our job is not to make you comfortable. The press exists to challenge political leaders, and in this case to hold the HCCC and its delegates accountable for

Volume 6, Issue 3

the purpose of informing the public about what is being done on their behalf — by the people appointed to do so.

For the HCCC to use their position as the traditional governing body of the Haudenosaunee to sully the integrity of our Six Nations business, our team members and our brand in this way is libellous and an overt abuse of power.

On behalf of myself, my husband Jonathan and our team I demand a retraction of the statements made, a public apology and removal of this document from all of it’s sources immediately.

If this is not issued I will explore legal options.

Indian Residential Schools: why and how they came to be DOUG WHITLOW

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

In the years following the so-called “discovery of America” by Christopher Columbus in 1492; one thing became very clear to the various invading European governments. The native people who lived throughout the America's owned the land and all the natural resources such as animals, fish, timber, gold, silver and everything else located therein.

The English, French, Dutch, Spanish and others decided that the only way to have a clear and unimpeded access to those resources was to assimilate and, or annihilate the Native people of the America’s. So began the process whereby the English and other Europeans slowly but surely began to rid themselves of their Indian Problem.

Almost every week, a story will appear in one of Canada's newspapers with a narrative on the “Indian Residential Schools” and the impact these schools had on the lives of Indian children somewhere in Canada. While these stories are different, the stories are also the same and the horrors and extremely harsh living conditions for the children were almost identical in nature.

In the 2004 and 2005 Academic Year at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the author of this article undertook a study of the effects of the residential schools on survivors who settled their claims out of court.

The author of the study, just like the Survivors who were a part of the exercise, was forced by the Human Subjects Board at UBC to sign a waiver stating that he, Doug Whitlow, would not disclose the findings of the project with anyone outside of the UBC Staff and the First Nations Studies Program at UBC. Each of the survivors that the author interviewed via telephone was also forced to sign a waiver stating that none of them would ever tell anyone about what occurred in the privacy of the Hearing Room.

What can be said

about what occurred in the Hearing Room was that each of the survivors stories was identical in relation to the Hearing Room experience and just as disturbing as listening to their residential school experiences.

The short version goes like this: the Survivor entered the Hearing Room alone without a lawyer.

The survivor was seated facing a panel consisting of an adjudicator and seven lawyers who in turn asked the survivor the same question(s) in just a slightly different way trying to catch the survivor in a lie.

The aim of the panel was to grant the survivor as little as or nothing at all in the way of monetary compensation. One survivor was granted only bus fare to and from his home in Northern B.C., while another received zero dollars because he had graduated from college and was self employed.

The panel chairman stated in the official record of the proceedings that it was obvious to him that the residential school experience had not affected the survivor in any way, shape or form. The rest of the stories which the author recorded were much the same and just as disturbing to hear.

The out of court settlement project, which the author undertook, was just a part of a larger course load which included an upper level English literature course.

It was in this English lit’ course where the author discovered the “French Connection” to the genocidal project known as the Indian Residential School Program.

While reading through one section of the English lit course, the author came across a story which had been written by a well known English jurist of the day about a prison in France in the 1800's known as Metray.

Metray was a debtors prison where, if a man could not pay his debts, the French government locked the man up and his entire family. Once inside the prison, the man was separated from his wife and children and the wife

was separated from her children.

The French government had found that the easiest way to control the children was to separate them from their parents and place the children in a section of the prison which had big black signs everywhere which read “God Sees You”.

The French also found that the best way to maintain discipline among the children was to whip them for any infraction of the rules, no matter how slight, and deprive the

children of food or lock the children in solitary confinement for almost any reason.

This was an “aha” moment for the author, as it was right there in black and white: the Metray experience was the basis on which the British and the Canadian governments designed and implemented the Canadian Indian Residential School Project.

Once the two governments found the model for the schools, it was easy to

bring in the Anglican and Catholic Churches to administer the schools and begin erasing the history, culture and traditions from the minds of the innocent Indian children who were incarcerated just because they were Indians.

In the 1800's it would have been easy to enlist the Catholic Church to be a part of the project as it had been the Catholic Pope, in 1532, who had written the Papal Bull

which stated that the human like beings living in the New World were not Human Beings and therefore the European invaders to North America were allowed to take the land and any resources they wanted.

The findings of the Pope formed the basis for the Terra Nullius or Empty Land Doctrine by which the Europeans laid claim to the North and South, American Continents.

McMaster Children’s Hospital opens Indigenous families room in memory of Makayla Sault Officials say space is a step toward reconciliation with Indigenous communities NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON — McMaster Children’s Hospital took a historic act of reconciliation with an indigenous family this week with the opening of an Indigenous families room in memory of Makayla Sault.

Makayla was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2014.

Makayla was the first of two First Nations children in Ontario to exclusively refuse chemotherapy as the sole form of treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at McMaster Children’s Hospital. Instead, her parents — Ken and Sonya Sault, honoured their daughter’s choice and what followed was months of fear for the indigenous family as doctors pursued a court order to put Makayla back in chemotherapy against her wishes.

The Sault family were told if they did not bring Makayla back to chemotherapy, Children’s Aid would apprehend Makayla and their other two children as well.

What followed was a national uprising of indigenous people, a critical national conversation about the rights of children versus the responsibility of medical professionals — and where indigenous traditions and medicines belong.

Makayla’s decision to continue fighting her illness without chemotherapy, and the national response of indigenous people to uphold that decision and protect Makayla’s voice in her course of treatment — forced the medical community in Canada to acknowledge paternalism toward indigenous patients, stop the trajectory, and launch a new path forward of truth and reconciliation.

The Saults’ said Makayla knew her prognosis was poor but insisted that she wanted to continue living her life with dignity and battle cancer on her own terms.

Ultimately, Children’s

Aid announced it would not intervene in the family’s choice to stop chemotherapy. They then offered a public apology to the Sault family and their home community of Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations.

Makayla died peacefully in her home at MNCFN in January 2015.

In November of 2015 Hamilton Health Sciences also offered the Sault family a public apology for the way they responded to Makayla’s decision.

MNCFN later launched a lawsuit against McMaster — but after meeting with hospital officials the family decided to pursue a new path of reconciliation and healing with McMaster Children’s Hospital.

Makayla’s mother Sonya Sault said, “Under our direction, the band dropped the lawsuit because we agreed to work with the hospital.”

One of the terms of the settlement was that McMaster, as an act of reconciliation with the indigenous community and the Sault family, would build a safe space for indigenous patients

to meet with healers and hold traditional ceremonies and receive traditional medicine.

Now, four years later, the Sault family along with McMaster Children’s Hospital President Dr. Peter Fitzgerald launched the opening of ‘Makayla’s Room’ — in Anishnabe, Mkoonhs Zonghehgii (Iako’nikonhrahnira:ton in Mohawk)’— which according to information from the hospital is ‘a culturally safe space open to all Children’s Hospital families that would like to learn about or draw strength from indigenous culture and ways of knowing.’

“We just wanted that space set aside that they can feel at home, that they don’t have to feel threatened or scared if they were to choose traditional medicine,” said Sonya.

The room is historic, this is the first space McMaster has provided to indigenous families where traditional healers can work openly with patients inside the hospital without fear of being accosted or banned from things like smudging.

As part of the terms of the settlement McMaster University’s Indigenous Studies department will also be involved by providing educational materials and bringing elders into the space to share indigenous ways of knowing.

McMaster Children’s Hospital held an official room opening and dedication Tuesday for just over 100 guests to tour the room.

The reception also saw McMaster Children’s Hospital, the chiefs of Six Nations of the Grand River and New Credit First Nations and the Ken and Sonya Sault sign a dedication of the room, acknowledging that creating a culturally safe space for indigenous patients is a critical part of their care.

Dr. Peter Fitzgerald said, “For me it’s about developing relationships.

We’ve had strong ties with Chief Ava Hill and Chief Stacey LaForme and some of the off-reserve indigenous organizations - but this is a visible piece of that. That work continues. It is a journey, it’s not something where there

is an endpoint. That’s probably the biggest piece is how much we’ve learned as individuals and caregivers over the last several years. Lots of further things — not just at our children’s hospital but across the board at other Hamilton Health Sciences’ hospitals to have that more visibly culturally inclusive approach to our patient care.”

The room features a glass etching of Makayla and a colourful woodland inspired mural designed by renowned Haudenosaunee artist Jay Havens.

Rob MacIsaac, President and CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences said, “For Hamilton Health Sciences the opening of Makayla’s room represents an important milestone in our journey as an organization to becoming more culturally aware and a more welcoming place for all indigenous people.”

“I’m very optimistic that we’re on the right path and that we’re on that path together,” said MacIsaac.

“I think we can all take heart that this is part of Makayla’s legacy - for her

community and for Hamilton Health Sciences.”

Chief Ava Hill praised the family’s choice to pursue reconciliation with the hospital. Hill said, “I know the path to get here has been long and difficult and very painful - but we have to regard the opening of Makayla’s Room as a positive step and an act of reconciliation between the hospital, the communities and the families. Everyone is to be commended for taking that step of working together and getting us here today.”

New Credit’s Chief Stacey LaForme said Makayla leaves a legacy as a warrior who united her people.

“She did in moments with her bravery and courage and heart what leaders today still can’t accomplish. She brought the nations of this country together - even if only for a moment. Maybe it didn’t last, but she showed us the possibility,” said LaForme. “The discussion on indigenous medicine and where we are at today wouldn’t have happened without Makayla’s inspiration.”

Mississaugas of the new Credit Chief Stacey Laforme, seen here welcoming Prince William to Mississauga Territory, is seeing through a legal claim proposing that all the water and the rivers and lake beds were never surrendered and still belong to the Mississauga.

NEW CREDIT — What do Burlington Bay/Beach, the Bay of Quinte, Catfish Creek, Chipeweigh River, River Etobicoke, Head of Lake Ontario (Head of the Lake), Humber River, Lamabinicon (small creek), Lake Erie, Lac La Claie, Lake Huron, Niagara, Rice Lake, River Credit, River La Tranche, River St. Claire, River Thames, Rouge River/River Nen, Sixteen Mile Creek, Twelve Mile Creek, Waghquata, and Mississaga/Messissague Point, all have in common?

They are all still owned by the Mississaugas. At least that is the assertion being considered by Ontario and Ottawa after historians from the Mississaugas of the New Credit and lawyer Kim Alexander Fullerton submitted their final arguments last week to support their claim.

According to historical research compiled by Joan Holmes Associates Inc., and presented to government, “The First Nations were generally agreeable to allow other First Nations as well as Europeans to utilize fish resources and travel on waterways within their traditional lands. However, in regard to European land purchases, First Nations demonstrated no inclination to give up or sell the lakes and waterways central to their existence.

Victor Lytwyn, historical geographer, argues that land surrenders negotiat-

Laforme and Fullerton, who has acted as council to the Mississaugas for years – including the Toronto Purchase case, which they won – are both optimistic that some kind of agreement can be reached to compensate the Mississauga for revenues lost over the years and hope to create a perpetual income for the people of the Mississaugas with a win in this claim.

The claim was filed in September of 2016. They are seeking an out-of-court settlement to compensate for past and present usage of water found within rivers, streams and even some of the Great Lakes, as well as for future water usage.

“I prefer an out-of-court settlement,” says Fullerton.

“It’s always a roll of the dice when you take something into court.”

But ether way, he and Chief Laforme are cautiously optimistic the evidence will show the Mississaugas never surrendered water or fishing rights and specifically worded so within many of the land deals they made in the past.

“I think we have a very compelling case,” says Fullerton.

But what are the realistic expectations from this claim? According to Fullerton, it could leverage other Mississauga claims in their favour and give the Mississauga a say in water protection and, it is hoped, its use in the fracking process of oil extraction which puts fresh water in danger. A response from the government is expected

by September of 2019.

ed with Great Lakes First Nations during the 18th and 19th centuries did not cover the water or aquatic resources.”

The report goes on to say, “Early Jesuit records profile the importance of fisheries among the Ojibwa of the Great Lakes. In 164748, the Jesuits reported that Algonquian tribes occupying lands north of the Huron Indians lived off hunting and fishing and exercised seasonal subsistence, staying at one place if the fish were plentiful.

Donald B. Smith, historian, in his article about the Algonquian (Ojibwa) Indians known as the Mississaugas, argued that by moving into southern areas of Ontario during the 17th century they obtained new hunting and fishing grounds.”

The importance of the fisheries was strongly underlined in 1805 during the Toronto Purchase renewal when Chief Quenepenon insisted to William Claus, Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, that the old chiefs in particular reserved the fishery of the river. Chief Quenepenon reminded Claus that Colonel Butler in 1787 replied to the Mississaugas’ request for the fisheries by stating, ‘We do not want the water, we want the land.’

"The first half of the 19th century saw a number of Mississauga land deals with the Crown which contain clauses designed to protect Mississaugas’ rights to the salmon fisheries within traditional waterways," says Fullerton.

Firefighting resources coming CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government needs to do a better job making sure First Nations have what they need to fight forest fires.

Trudeau acknowledges the gaps in resources

for municipalities, which work with the province on wildfires, and First Nations, which fall under federal responsibility.

He says things have improved since devastating wildfires in B.C. last year, but more work needs to be done to ensure everyone is equally protected.

Trudeau is in central British Columbia meeting with those working

to control some of the 563 wildfires that have charred more than 6,000-square-kilometres of the province.

The wildfire danger map posted by the BC Wildfire Service shows a danger rating of extreme or high across most of the province and thousands are on evacuation alert or have already fled their homes.

Settlement for men switched at birth at Indian Hospital CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — The federal government has reached a financial settlement with two of four Indigenous men from northern Manitoba who were switched

at birth and only found out about the mixup 40 years later.

Neither Ottawa or the lawyer for the men would reveal how much the settlement was for.

Two men from the flyin community of Garden Hill First Nation revealed in November 2015 that DNA tests proved they were switched at birth at

the Norway House Indian Hospital in 1975.

Later DNA tests showed another two men were also switched at birth at the same hospital earlier that year.

The men expressed anger and sorrow at having lived much of their lives under the wrong identities and not with their birth parents.

Oneida band councillor sorry for supporting convicted pedophile NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Sep 10- Nov 26, 2018

ONEIDA — Oneida Nation of the Thames Elected Chief Jessica Hill says the entire elected council was shocked and frustrated after seeing video footage of one of their elected councillors putting his arm around a former Anglican priest and convicted pedophile outside a London courtroom on Friday.

“We want to make it clear we don’t support his actions,” Hill said in a phone interview with the Two Row Times.

Hill said the elected council met immediately the morning after video footage was shared by local press and on social media.

Elected Councillor Anthony Ireland appeared to pose before the press with a smiling David Norton Friday, the day Norton was being sentenced to sexually assaulting a nineyear-old boy for a period of four years while he was priest of an Anglican Church on Chippewas of the Thames First Nation.

“We don’t condone his behaviour. It was poor judgement on his part to be there,” said Hill.

Hill told Two Row Times she and several other council members were contacted by members of the community who were outraged with Ireland’s conduct.

“Some of them were even stopped by community members on the road,” said Hill. “To see one of our own community members supporting a convicted pedophile was not something council would ever approve of.”

Hill said that Ireland was asked by the council to explain his actions and he spoke openly, saying Norton is his godfather and that is why he offered his support to the sex offender on Friday.

Norton was an Anglican priest in the community starting in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s.

During that time he confessed that he sexually assaulted young children.

He was sentenced Friday for his crimes against one

member of Chippewa of the Thames First Nation (COTTFN) and still faces another trial to answer to further charges of molesting more children from the same community.

Justice Lynne Leitch sentenced Norton to four years for sexual interference Friday and said in her verdict the ex-priest “inflicted significant harm to a vulnerable and innocent child. Without question, his conduct qualifies as sexually deviant behaviour and the consequences won’t go away for the victim.”

The victims said in his impact statement the assault led him into a life of struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Hill said the council has drafted a letter to the COTTFN to address the issue.

COTTFN Chief Myeengun Henry spoke to the Two Row Times following the incident.

“We’ve been following this since the young person came forward about the abuse,” said Henry. “What Norton did to our community is so hurtful we feel four years is an inadequate sentence. Councillor Ireland’s relationship to Norton may be powerful, but he should not have done that in public. We’re really outraged by that.”

The Chippewas of the Thames chief said he believes this was the actions of one individual who made a poor judgement call, and does not reflect the opinions of the Oneida community.

Ireland addressed his own conduct on his personal Facebook page Monday in a post, saying, “I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to the victims and their families of those hurt by Dave Norton.

“I want to say to those directly affected by my actions I am truly sorry. I do not condone his behavior nor do I defend it. I now realize the severity of my actions and I can only ask for understanding and forgiveness.”

Ireland explained Norton was a longtime friend of his family and that is why he felt it was appropriate to show his support.

“My parents trusted him to be my godfather.

I looked up to him as a friend and role model, and this situation has shaken our family. Because of our history I am still in shock over everything that has transpired. I should have realized how painful this experience would be for the entire community, and I can only ask for understanding and forgiveness.

I hope the victims and families can understand that I never meant to hurt anyone.”

The Oneida Elected council is also working on a letter to the community, as well as a new code of conduct and ethics for council members.

“When we take office we are to be role models,” said Hill. “We want to make it right with our community. It’s not a good way to start off our term.”

Onondaga School says goodbye after 144 years JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

ONONDAGA — Built in 1874, the old Onondaga Central School house on Highway 54, had its day as a rural school many years ago. It was later converted into the former Onondaga Township Hall, but in time, that too became obsolete by todays standards.

In the meantime, the Onondaga Fire Service built temporary buildings behind the old school to house their equipment, which has also become obsolete.

Despite valiant efforts by some Onondaga area residents and historical preservationists, the inevitable happened last week when Brant County

Council ordered the former school's demolition to make room for a brand new Onondaga Fire Hall.

Many important artifacts from the 1870’s have been preserved in the building’s demolition, including the old bell which sat voiceless in the tower for several decades before being enshrined on a pedestal in front of the school recently.

The venerable old cast iron school bell now sits crated in front of the remains of the school house, protected by concrete barriers.

Turn to page 18 for a profile of architect John Turner, who designed Onondaga Central School as well as many other notable buildings in southwestern Ontario.

The old Onondaga Central School house is being demolished after years of service as a rural school, closed decades ago. As of last Tuesday morning, all that remains is the bell tower.

Courage is not exclusive to those who fight in wars or those who protect our streets. Courage is not exclusive to those who run into burning buildings or those first on scene. Courage is not about strength of arms, nor is it about reasoning or logic. Courage is not limited to adults. Courage can be found anywhere, anytime. It can come in all shapes and sizes. Courage is not always rewarded, sometimes it is just the opposite. Courage is not always easily seen, sometimes it shies away from wandering eyes. Courage is not always success or reward, sometimes it is quiet conviction. Those who know no fear are fearless. People who know fear and overcome are heroic. Fearlessness is to be admired, but heroic is inspirational. And I have seen heroic, I have seen inspirational and it came in the form of a child. A beautiful yet timid smile. A little girl who knew fear and who made a choice. So strong in her faith, her hope, her belief — wise beyond her years and gone far too soon. A community and a nation that said, ’we love and support you’ and ‘your courage and conviction inspire us’ and that inspiration provides us strength and unifies us. For a moment in time you have made a family out of our community, united us as a people. Maybe that unity is fleeting, maybe that moment will pass but your memory shall remain… The appearance of a young child but the heart of our bravest warrior. I offer you my love and I wish you peace and I pray that we can make you as proud as you have made us. -Poem by Chief Stacey LaForme

The man who built Brantford: remembering architect John Turner JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — It is hard to travel anywhere in and around Brantford and not see the iconic work of architects John Turner and William Mellish. Both were prolific builders, architects and contractors whose work has lasted the test of time and are still iconic skyline makers of the City of Brantford and

other smaller communities close by.

Mellish was born in London, England in 1807, was a builder, contractor at first but later gained provenance as an architect in Brantford. He emigrated to Canada in 1841 and worked in Toronto for two years before moving to Brantford to begin a contracting business.

In May of 1852 he and partner John J. Russell were chosen from all tenders for the Waterloo

County Court House at BERLIN, ONT. (now Kitchener).

In late 1853 they invited Joseph J. Morrell to join the partnership and the firm of Mellish, Morrell & Russell was formed. Turner and Mellish were both competitive in the new market of town building.

Mellish opened his own office as 'Public Architect' in Brantford, and lured C.R. Porter, a former partner with John Turner, to join his team.

Among many other assignments, Mellish won the construction for the TH&B Railway Stations at Market and Erie Ave. He was the architect for the Congregational Church, (Central Presbyterian Church) at George Street at Wellington Street, 1865, It was demolished in 1959 after a serious wind storm blew the massive spire over, crashing through the sanctuary roof and out the back window.

building constructed in and around Brantford was built by either Mellish or Turner.

They were both very busy building churches and Town Halls throughout the region during the mid to late 1800’s.

Mellish built the Cainsville Methodist Church in 1875, which still stands. The Cayuga Court house with additions and alterations to the Haldimand County Gaol (jail), a Gaoler's residence, and a stone wall around the Gaol yard, was completed by Mellish in 1876.

Mellish died in Kansas City while on a family visit on May 10th, 1895 and was buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Brantford.

Turner was certainly the most prolific of the two, at least in the Brantford of the 1800’s, but it’s Turner who has been called the builder of Brantford, and rightfully so.

He was born in Holborn, London in 1806. In his early years he worked as a surveyor and architect between 1830 and 1868 when the moved to Canada and eventually settled in Brantford.

A devout Christian man, he soon began a business and designed and built Brantford and area’s most iconic churches and government buildings many of which still stand today.

He was also commissioned to design and build permanent structures on the newly created Six Nations Reserve #40, before confederation, including the Old Council House, which served the community as both a meeting place for the traditional Chiefs and government then, after 1924, became the seat of the imposed elective government following an armed take over of the traditional government by Canada, against the wishes of most of the Six Nations community.

Turner built the Six Nations library building, formerly a doctors residence, and the old post office building, before Canada’s confederation, all of which are still standing. In fact most of the old yellow brick structures at Six Nations were designed and built by Turner, as was the old Onondaga School on highway 54, which

has just been demolished despite outcry’s from historical preservationists.

His list of government buildings, schools and churches is very impressive. They include, but certainly do not represent all of Turner’s work, many of Brantford and area’s stately homes of the mid1800’s.

Turner also designed and built the Norfolk County House of Industry and Refuge near Paris, Canada’s first “Poorhouse” where destitute homeless people could work in the fields in exchange for lodging food and maybe a little bit left to spend, but not much. He built what was the John Stratford estate house which he gave to the city for a hospital.

After several renovations over the years wasn’t until the 1990’s that a renovation removed the last vestiges of the old mansion, now Brant General Hospital.

One of his most endearing pieces of Turners creativity is “Wynarden”, better known locally as Yates Castle. Once abandoned, the beautiful Victorian structure was commissioned fo Turner to build and later renovate by railway tycoon Henry Yates. In recent years it was bought by the Talas family who have spent two generations restoring it to its former glory.

Victoria Square was designed by the British born architect and is laid out in the plan of the Union Jack Flag with four diagonal paths intersecting at the centre where the Joseph Brant Memorial was unveiled in 1886 at a cost of $16,000.

One of Turner’s last known works was the former Calvary Baptist Church on Delhouse Street between Park Avenue and Peel Street.

Because of his advancing age, during its construction, Turner moved into a nearby residence on Colborne Street to oversee the project from home, which at the time he could see from his window. That is where the College Sports Store now occupies.

Despite his prolific architectural career, the “Builder of Brantford” strangely died a relatively poor man.

Brother, I Cry production begins for Six Nations filmmaker JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS/VANCOUVER — How do you break into the movie industry? Just by doing it.

That is what budding filmmaker Jesse Marie Anthony is about to do for her first feature film, Brother, I Cry, which she wrote and is directing.

Although it is her first feature length film, she has spent years perfecting her craft and has had success. In fact, almost half of the funding necessary to complete the movie she won at the 2017 Telefilm Canada awards’ “Talent to EXT:png:END EXT

Watch” category for her short work of the same story, receiving $127,000 in grant money towards the estimated goal of $250,000 for the feature film.

She is also an alumni of the Indigenous Independent Digital Filmmaking program at Capilano University.

She is finishing her last semester producing, writing and directing a micro-budget feature film titled Brother, I Cry, a story that started to develop during her second year in the Indigenous independent digital Filmmaking program.

“Brother, I Cry highlights the resiliency that

is truly the backbone of our nationhood,” says Anthony, a proud member of the Six Nations of the Grand River, Onondaga Nation, Beaver Clan.

“It continues to shine through during and after the traumas of European contact. It is my story.

It is time for the world that is watching to see through the eyes of a young and strong, born Six Nations of the Grand River Territory Onondaga woman.”

Playing the lead role is Six Nations actor Lauren Hill, who is a Mohawk woman from the Six Nations of The Grand River Territory. She is passionate about life and

cares deeply for the lives of her people with holistic health and medicine playing a large role.

However, nothing

seems to keep her from her passion for acting and the need to educate herself in all things filmmaking. It is her love for learning and the need to know every possible influence that makes a character who they are and what pushes them to make the choices they make.

Lauren is a graduate of the acting for film television program at the Vancouver Film School and has continued to work on indigenous short films.

This will be Hill’s first feature film.

Anthony is currently fund raising for the remainder needed to complete the film and has started a GoFundMe

page where people can help with big and small donations from the grass roots, at www.gofundme. com/5wgdaj-brother-i-cry.

This is a journey Anthony is not taking alone.

Judge rules Dakota Access developer can't sue Earth First Greenpeace to be only defendant in $1-billion racketeering lawsuit ASSOCIATED PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BISMARCK, N.D. – A federal judge has dismissed a second defendant from a $1-billion racketeering lawsuit that the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline filed against environmental groups, leaving Greenpeace as the only remaining group facing the claim.

Texas-based Energy

Transfer Partners failed to make a case that Earth First is an entity that can be sued, U.S. District Judge Billy Roy Wilson ruled.

The Center for Constitutional Rights had argued that Earth First is a philosophy or movement similar to Black Lives Matter, and thus can't be sued.

ETP unsuccessfully tried to serve the lawsuit to Florida-based Earth First Journal, which argued that it wasn't the same as the movement.

Wilson said that rather than clarifying the matter, an amended complaint filed by ETP earlier this month was ``wholly insufficient'' in advancing its case under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act that Earth First ``allegedly provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund an international terrorist, drug-smuggling RICO enterprise.''

Centre for constitutional Rights attorney Pamela

Spees applauded the ruling, calling the lawsuit ``far-fetched.'' ETP officials have said the company doesn't comment on active litigation.

ETP sued Earth First, BankTrack and Greenpeace last August, alleging that they worked to undermine the $3.8 billion pipeline that's now shipping North Dakota oil to a distribution point in Illinois. Opposition to the pipeline by groups and American Indian

tribes who feared environmental harm inspired large protests in southern North Dakota and resulted in 761 arrests over a sixmonth span in late 2016 and early 2017.

Last month, Wilson ruled that the company had no claim against BankTrack. The Dutch environmental group had urged banks not to finance the pipeline, which Wilson concluded did not amount to radical ecoterrorism.

Wilson gave Green-

peace until Sept. 4 to file its response to ETP's amended complaint, which added five individual defendants: a man who is allegedly affiliated with Greenpeace, two Iowa women who have publicly claimed to have vandalized the pipeline, and two people associated with the Red Warrior Camp, a protest group alleged to have advocated aggressive tactics such as arson. There are also 20 unnamed defendants.

FLORIDA — Three were reported dead on Sunday at the Madden 19 Tournament presented by XBOX in Jacksonville.

The deaths at the video game tournament for competitive players of the strategic football game were the toll of yet another mass shooting in Florida.

Competitors gathered at the Jacksonville Landing Complex, where 24 year-old gamer David Katz also attended for the tournament at GLHF Game Bar. On Sunday, Katz opened fire after bringing a gun into the venue, killing two fellow participants and then turning the gun on himself. He injured eleven others, leaving nine with gunshot wounds.

The shooting was captured on an online stream of the event and the game was abruptly ended when the first shots were heard.

A screenshot from the Madden 19 tournament held in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday shows the moment the online stream of the event was disconnected after one of the participants, 24-year-old David Katz, opened fire on the gamers, killing two and wounding 11. One of the gamers killed in the attack was Elijah Clayton, who went by the screen name TrueBoy. Clayton was playing a game against a user with the screen name Joe Rice at the time of the shooting.

EA Sports` Andrew Wilson released a statement online, noting the loss of the two victims was a toll to the gaming community: “The authorities have confirmed that we lost two respected members of our community yesterday, Elijah ‘TrueBoy’ Clayton and Taylor ‘SpotMePlzzz’ Robertson. Their deaths are an inconceivable tragedy, and we offer our deepest sympathies to their families, to those

injured and everyone affected by this,” Wilson said.

“Many of us at EA knew Elijah and Taylor well, and their positive, competitive spirit and respect for other players were evident to everyone. They earned the admiration of all who watched them compete, and we will miss them greatly. We are committed to supporting their family members through this difficult time.”

TWO ROW TIMES

PETERBOROUGH — A dominant game from the Peterborough Century 21 Lakers' right side led them to a 13-9 win and a 2-1 series lead over the Oakville Rock on Sunday night at the Memorial Centre. The Lakers were energetic when it counted and sent the 3261 fans in attendance home happy.

Shawn Evans played his best game of the playoffs so far with a goal and six assists including an assist on Holden Cattoni's game-winning power play goal. Kyle Buchanan recorded three goals and four assists, Josh Currier had a goal and three assists and Thomas Hoggarth chipped in a late-game goal to ensure every right-handed member of the Lakers' offense contributed.

“For years Shawny has been our go-to guy,” veteran Cory Vitarelli said.

“He always is when he’s on the floor for us. For our team to be successful everyone needs to chip in.

On different nights, other guys step up with some big goals but Shawny is always a part of that and for us to be successful going forward it’s going to have to continue to be like that.”

The Lakers took an 8-5 lead into the third period but the Rock came out on fire, tying the game 9-9 by the 5:55 mark. Chad Tutton interrupted the Rock’s four-goal outburst with a transition bounce shot.

“We did a pretty good job until the start of the third,” defenseman

Ian Llord said. “They’re a hardworking team.

They’re going to shoot from everywhere so if we have any lapses they’re going to shoot. Myself, I did two silly things and they scored. They’re a very opportunistic team and they’re going to score when you give them the chance.”

“They transition the ball very well and they did early in that period,” defensive coach Bobby Keast said. “But when our defense has the opportunity to get back in our zone and set up and play, we’re tough to beat.”

Bolstered by their confident defense, the Lakers then rattled off four in a row including two insurance markers in the last minute and a half while

shutting out the Rock in the last 14 minutes of play.

“We have some great leaders on the bench,” said Keast, specifically mentioning Brock Sorensen, Ian Llord, Adam Jones and Cory Vitarelli. “They actually help calm the bench down. And as the coaching staff that’s part of our job too to bring everybody back.”

Buchanan corralled a loose ball back to Cattoni on the power play at 8:40.

Buchanan then redirected Evans’ shot off of Rose back into the net off his gloves at 10:55. Corey Small converted Buchanan’s pass with 1:26 left, and Hoggarth bounced Adam Jones’ pass through Rose’s five-hole with 1:08 left.

The Lakers jumped

out to a very early 2-0 lead. Buchanan scored 38 seconds after the Rock got caught with too many men heading to the Lakers’ net. Buchanan was still up near Nick Rose and bounced in Shawn Evans’ centre-floor pass. Josh Currier bounced in an Evans’ backhand pass at 1:04. The Rock tied the game but an outside shot from Turner Evans gave the Lakers a 3-2 heading into the second.

“I thought we were a little bit better off the start, more ready to go,” Vitarelli said.

“We were hungrier tonight but it was the same thing, a close game, but luckily we were able to answer and get on a couple runs which was the difference tonight.”

CALEDONIA — In June, the Six Nations-owned Caledonia Corvairs announced that they will be taking a one year hiatus from Jr. B league operation to rest up and reorganize the franchise.

Players were released to try out for other teams with a thank you for your service and a handshake by long-time general manager Brian Rizzetto.

“We’re just taking a year off, I don’t know who came up with the rumour of us folding,” said Rizzetto.

“The OHA allows teams to take a one-year leave of absence. We’ve got a bunch of stuff on the go away from the rink. We’ve played deep into every year, we feel like we all need a break for a bit and we’ll be back for 2019.”

There are hints of some major changes within the Corvairs brass after recent years of solid seasons and not so good playoffs.

a brand new team when the Corvairs get back into action for the 2019-2020 season.

At this time there is no talk of moving the franchise.

“We all met collectively as a group after the season, put some thought into it for a few days,” Rizzetto told media.

“We’ve given up our lives; this has been a seven day a week job for me for over 15 years. We’re going to make a couple of adjustments in personnel and how we do business. We’ll be back stronger.”

Rizzetto says not to be surprised to see some changes behind the bench as well, and perhaps his own job as GM may change.

“I’ve managed the team for quite a while now,” says Rizzetto.

“There have been some people who have been paying their dues for a while, waiting for a chance. We’re not sure yet.”

The rest of the league is currently in pre-season mode as they get ready to play a season without the Corvairs.

Mohawks clinch Founders Cup Gas bar gives back to customers JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

AKWESASNE — The Elora Mohawks defeated the Seneca WarChiefs 9-5 in a rough one at the A'nowara'ko:wa Arena in Awkwesasne (Cornwall) to win the 2018 Founders Cup, last Saturday.

It was the franchise’s sixth Founders’ Cup title, having previously taken home the national Jr. B championship in 1964, 1967, 1968, 1976 and 2005.

The Mohawks established themselves early taking a 2-0 lead by the 4:22 mark, before Cole Spear added to Zack Cameron, Clayton Hoelscher’s tallies.

The WarChiefs saved the first period from being a shutout by Clay Scanlan scoring at the 16:00 mark.

Tyrus Rehanek slipped in a buzzer beater to end the first period with Elora ahead 4-1.

Both teams tightened up in their own defensive zones as Seneca’s Troi Bebedict and Elora’s

Landon Kells made scoring difficult. Chiefs’ Scanlan and Sherman Williams brought Seneca close in the second but Elora’s Hoelscher scored midway into the second to end segment two with the Mohawks up 5-3.

The Mohawks stunned the WarChiefs early in the third with three goals scored within a minute and a half as Even Printup, and Kurtis Woodland, with two, put the Mohawks in charge, 8-3.

Scanlan scored his hattrick goal which Woodland answered with his third goal of the period.

Tonatiuh Salinas recorded the last goal of the game at 19:07 and the Elora Mohawks danced with the Founders Cup this year.

Landon Kells of the Mohawks went 3-0 with a 5.00 goals against average, while silver medalist Troi Benedict was equally as impressive for the WarChiefs, finishing with a 2-1-1 record and 6.13 GAA mark.

Seneca`s Clay Scanlan was named tournament most valuable player, with

nods for Offensive Player of the Tournament going to Kelson Borisenko of the Manitoba Blizzard, and Defensive Player of the Tournament to Matthew Froese of the Coquitlam Adanacs.

Transition Player of the Tournament was Ron John of the WarChiefs, while Kells was named top goaltender.

How schools are working to Indigenize programs, campus life CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

This summer, as students prepared to go back to school, some post-secondary institutions did preparing of their own to make changes that they say address a legacy of colonialism and respond to the Truth and Recon-

ciliation Commission of Canada report.

The report, released in 2015, contained a list of calls to action, one of which was a demand that universities and colleges include Indigenous knowledge into their programs and address barriers to Indigenous students' access to education.

Since then, institu-

tions across Canada have created roles to lead those initiatives on campus, along with hiring Indigenous educators and creating programs geared to Indigenous knowledge and culture.

Olson Crow, an Indigenous student at Toronto's Ryerson University, said ``Indigenization'' is about ``incorporating Indige-

nous ways of knowledge and having Indigenous community members come into the space.''

This summer was pivotal at the university, which is named after Egerton Ryerson, a pioneer of public education who is also widely believed to have helped shape Canada's residential school policy.

After Indigenous stu-

dents on campus lobbied the university for years to remove the statue of Egerton, the school instead installed a plaque in July beside the statue that addressed Egerton's role in ``cultural genocide.''

Crow had met with the university's administration on multiple occasions last school year to discuss the removal of the statue.

While he calls the plaque ``a great step to raising awareness,'' he said he will not stop demanding the statue's removal. ``I don't think the plaque is a solution and I don't think it's an alternative to having the statue removed,'' he said.

Ryerson public affairs said the university is open to continuing discussions with students on the statue, but at this time ``no decisions have been made.''

This summer, Ryerson launched the Yellowhead Institute, calling it Canada's first think tank focused on analysis of policy and law that affects First Nation communities.

Ryerson has also started the process of ``decolonizing'' their library.

The university's chief librarian, Carol Shepstone, said while she thinks it's important for all universities to address colonialism, there is ``added weight to this with the Ryerson name.'' ``It's about changing the way we describe and think about how we organize information. A lot of the terms used in libraries are very colonial, very inappropriate and not reflective of traditional appropriate names,'' said Shepstone.

For example, Indigenous history is sometimes classified under the category ``Indians of North America'' or the word ``Indian'' is used in some Canadian libraries.

Breaking away from these terms has proven quite difficult in large library systems as there are thousands of headings and subheadings that cannot be changed in an instant with available technology, said Christine Bone, cataloguing librarian at the University of Manitoba, whose research focuses on Indigenous subject headings.

Bone said she is currently working on a project

with the Association for Manitoba Archives to find solutions to this issue. She said the project can hopefully be used as a template for other libraries and archives across Canada. ``What we're doing is adding to the larger work that will benefit everyone,'' said Bone, adding that she has already started implementing some minor solutions at the University of Manitoba including adding an ``Indigenous Peoples'' subject heading to the appropriate catalogue records.

The University of Saskatchewan and the University of Alberta said they are also in the early stages of changing headings of Indigenous works and history in their library.

Saint Mary's University in Halifax said it has implemented various recommendations that were included in a 2014 report that was created after Loretta Saunders, a 26-yearold Inuk student at the university, was killed.

The university said that since then, they have hired an Indigenous student adviser, created new academic programming dedicated to Indigenous history, and in early August, the Mi'kmaq Grand Council flag was raised permanently on the university's campus.

At the University of British Columbia, this will be the first school year that the university's new Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre will be utilized after it opened in April 2018.

The centre's mandate is to be accessible for not only university students and faculty, but anyone who wants to use the centre's open-source libraries and archives, said the centre's director, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. ``I want people to learn about the history of the residential schools, but this isn't something you would see in a typical museum space. There is going to be a really active piece to this,'' said Turpel-Lafond, who is Cree.

She said the dialogue aspect of the centre would be to engage community members in discussion and wouldn't be a traditional talk where only one person is speaking.
