Final stages of Cannabis Law for Kahnawake STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

KAHNAWA:KE — Officials with the Kahnbawa:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission say they are in the final stages of enacting the community’s custom Cannabis Law. The new legislation was read aloud to the community in it’s entirety

on December 4. A certification signing of the law followed by Mohawk officials with the community’s legislative committee.

The event was livestreamed by local radio station K103.7FM and will be available to public viewing on the KLCC website.

Officials with the KLCC say the final version will be presented for ratification on December 10.

BRANTFORD — After his decisive victory over long sitting mayor, Chris Friel, Brantford has a new mayor. But as far as Six Nations is concerned, will it be just, “here comes the new boss — same as the old boss.” That is a question that only time will tell.

However, newly sworn in Mayor Kevin Davis, a former lawyer with one of Brantford’s biggest and oldest law firms, has at the very least included Six Nations and New Credit in his inaugural address with promises of a better relationship with its neighbours, which includes its Onkwehon:we and Anishinabek ones.

Davis thanked Friel and other outgoing Councillors for their service to the community “I’m sure I speak for every member of council when I say we are humbled and proud to be given the opportunity to serve our city and its residents,” he said. “It’s not an easy job but we do it because we love this city and we want it to be the best that it can be.”

He then looked ahead to continued and increased development on

lands still under claim and have been for about as long.

“These lands are the future of our city, where new houses will be built and jobs created,” he said. “New factories and businesses will employ thousands of people. The dilemma we face is that we have to invest a lot of money up front to develop roads, sewers and other city services. However, the tax revenue from the new homes and businesses won’t start to flow for several years. In the meantime, we risk running out of land in the existing

city for new housing and industrial development,” he clearly spoke. “So the sooner the boundary lands are developed, the better.”

Davis’ first construction push will be the development of 2,700 hectares of boundary lands the city annexed last year from Brant County after a long and bitter negotiation between former Brant mayor Ron Eddy and Friel.

The new mayor wants to create a task force to oversee work on the lands.

He touched on several areas of priority including,

“forging a closer relationship with Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation to work on projects and programs that will mutually benefit all of the communities.”

He also has designs on the development of Cainsville, the former Cayuga Village, and the Johnson Tract, all under current Six Nations land claim.

The expansion of the downtown with what he calls, "underused land" south of Icomm Drive, which is also under Claim as part of the Nathan Gage Tract dispute.

Specific to Six Nations, Davis said in his address, “The people of the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation are our friends and neighbours.

He acknowledged the First Nations people as the reason this city exists at all.

“I'm sure all of us at the council table look forward to forging a closer relationship with both First Nations so we can work together on projects and programs that mutually benefit our communities.”

See ONE on ONE with Mayor Davis next week.

OTTAWA — The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians (AIAI) organized a rally opposing the Federal Rights and Recognition Framework in Parliament Hill.

The action was organized by indigenous youth from across the province and saw busloads of supporters from Oneida Nation of the Thames, Toronto and Six Nations as well as supporters from other indigenous communities.

Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald was one of the speakers and declared that the Chiefs of Ontario stand with the youth in their opposition to stop the framework.

The campaign, supported by the AIAI, #stoptheframework, says the new framework is a bait and switch tactic targeting

SIX NATIONS — The Big Joe Rockin’ Blues Band will be hosting a pre2019, dry-party at the Six Nations’ Community Hall, Saturday, December 29th which is being billed, “Jump-Start 2019 with the Big Joe Rockin’ Blues Band” beginning at 6 pm.

“Just because you quit drinking’ and doing drugs doesn’t mean you have to quit having fun,” says Big Joe. “A lot of people don’t wanna stay out until one or two in the morning. I know I don’t any more. That’s why we are starting early and ending early, 6 ’til 10.”

Joe knows of what he speaks. There was a time when music, cocaine and booze were all tied together into one package for the veteran blues singer. It took a long time and a few false starts, but Big Joe is clean and sober, and has been for eight years, and he wants to help encourage others as well. A crack cocaine addiction took Joe from the stage and almost destroyed his marriage and life.

Big Joe conquered more than one demon along the way. He has also made significant headway in his fight against a food addiction, and has lost close to 100 lbs. on his road to recovery.

Joe made his return to the big stage as an opening act for Tom Wilson at the Six Nations Fall Fair two years ago, and headline the fair’s main stage this past fall, amongst many other

community and corporate events, and private parties.

“I talked to some people about doing a dry dance and the response was great,” says Joe. “There are lots of people here that are in the same place I am, having given up alcohol and drugs and wanna still have fun and dance, but don’t want to be around alcohol or drunken people. That’s why I wanted to do this.”

When Joe started looking for sponsorship and support from the Six Nations business community, he was overwhelmed by the number of people that said it was a good idea and that they would help with door prizes and other in-kind donations.

“I would like to commend “Big Joe” for accomplishing his journey to a clean and sober life and for giving back to the community,” said elected Chief Ava Hill. “He is using his music to get the message across, especially to our young people, that you don’t need

alcohol to have a good time.

He will be hosting a dry pre-New Year’s Eve Event and I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy themselves and listen to some of Big Joe’s classic tunes.

Pizza, wings and pop, are being provided by Village Pizza and KarenHill.ca, and the Six Nations Elected Council has donated the use of the Community Hall for this non-alcohol community event.

Also performing that night along with the Big Joe Rockin’ Blues Band will be Six Nations country songstress, Crystal Lynn Bomberry. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and are available from Val and Joe Sharrow at 226-583-0213, Jim Windle at 519-732-5700, or at Two Row Times office, 50 Generations Road, Oneida Business Park, during business hours, or from Crystal Bomberry.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Why I Oppose the Dundee Settlement

Anyone can be a victim, but there is a preference

By Chezney Martin The facts about human trafficking are cut and dry and it is easy to recognize that there are numbers that go unaccounted for.

Most people can mistake human trafficking for human smuggling, whereby a person is illegally taken into a different country. But human trafficking is the sexual exploitation of a victim, usually a woman or child and the basis of the exploitation is almost always sexual.

Here in Canada we are quite content to think “good thing we live here, where things like that don’t happen.”

However, more than 90 per cent of female human trafficking victims in this country are Canadian-born and are typically recruited into sex work by young men that they form dependent relationships with. Sixty per cent of all reported human trafficking cases in this country are reported and occur in the Greater Toronto Area says Peel Regional Police.

The reality of the matter is that young girls are recruited at school, on instagram or at the mall and many continue to live at home while performing sex work at local motels or condominiums. Trafficking victims as well generally don’t keep any of the money they make and have little say in what they perform for payment. But there are those that are victimized far easily and far more.

Indigenous women are victimized by human trafficking at rates that are higher than the general population. In a study conducted at four sites in Canada and the US, the study concluded that 40 per cent of women involved in sex trafficking identified as indigenous, yet indigenous women represented 10 per cent or less of the general populous of the studied communities.

“If you are a trafficker looking for the perfect population of people to violate, Native women would be a prime target,” said Sarah Deer,

an attorney, law professor and author of The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America in an article with VOA News. “You have extreme poverty. You have a people who have been traumatized. You have addiction to alcohol and drugs as a result of trauma. And you have a legal system that doesn’t step in to stop it,” said Deer.

The facts and numbers are there, but as Deer suggests, the action to correct is not.

“Native women experience violent victimization at a higher rate than any other U.S. population. Congressional findings are that Native American and Alaska Native women are raped 34.1%, more than 1 in 3, will be raped in their lifetime, 64%, more than 6 in 10, will be physically assaulted.

Native women are stalked more than twice the rate of other women. Native women are murdered at more than ten times the national average. Non-Indians commit 88% of violent crimes against Native women. Given the above statistical data and the historical roots of violence against Native women, the level of human trafficking given the sparse data collected can only equate to the current epidemic levels we face within our tribal communities and Nations,” said Lisa Brunner of the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, who summarized the problem to Congress in 2013.

It also wasn’t recent (2013) that an American researcher discovered that First Nations women and babies from Thunder Bay, Ontario, have been sold on ships in the harbour at Duluth, Minnesota for sex trafficking.

Surprise. The sexual exploitation of indigenous women and women in general happens in our backyards and neighbouring cities so if you weren’t aware before, now you are.

Take steps to protect yourselves and your sisters.

By Doug GeorgeKanentiio I must make very critical points to my opposition to the Dundee settlement-and that is the Mohawk government in power at the time of the theft was the traditional, or "life", council, the members of which were selected according to the ancient customs through the clans. The all important council fire for the Mohawk people was located at Akwesasne in 1888 just as the Dundee lands were being stolen.

The current Mohawk Nation Council is the rightful heir to the governing council from that time-not the St. Regis Band Council (Mohawk Council of Akwesasne) or the St. Regis Tribe. As much as I have friends within the MCA and find much of its work essential and use its services I believe it was a gross mistake to exclude the Nation Council from the Dundee negotiations-a decision which played into the hands of the Canadian government.

I know of no document, no agreement which the MCA can produce that would clearly indicate it is in any way the rightful party to press for the return of the stolen lands. I therefore must conclude that without the active participation of the Mohawk Nation the pending settlement must be rejected.

I also conclude that if the MCA in any way referenced the fraudulent Seven Nations of Canada the settlement must be rejected. I must also conclude that if the MCA in any way or at any time cited the Seven Nations fraudulent "treaty" it must involve each one of those entities particularly Kahnawake, the council "fire" for the Seven Nations.

We must not forget that John Fire (Jake Ice) died on May 1, 1899 opposing the unlaw-

ful imposition of the Band Council system which also led to the imprisonment of the Nation's council members.

The overwhelming majority of Akwesasnoron also opposed the Band Council at that time but supported the traditional council. So I must conclude the pending settlement is inconsistent, illegal and will not bind the Mohawk Nation Council or its citizens.

It is clearly illogical for an extension of the Canadian government, which we must admit is the current status of the MCA, to enter into any binding contract involving the sale, purchase or conveyance of Mohawk lands. There are too many variables, ambiguities and uncertainties for me to endorse the proposed settlement. No Mohawk Nation Council participation should mean no settlement.

I also am deeply concerned that the issue of criminal and civil jurisdiction over Dundee is not clear. As it now stands any lands returned will be subject to the laws of Quebec and enforced by the controversial Surete du Quebec. Nor is it clear who will actually have title-will the lands be owned outright by the Mohawk Nation or will it be Crown lands? If so, then Canada actually possesses title and Mohawks have occupancy rights only which can be, at any time, dismissed by the federal government. If the Mohawks have title get ready for trouble with Quebec.

I am concerned about taxation as it is unclear if the lands will be exempt. I am concerned about environmental issues and who will clean the land of the many generations of contamination from the large dairy farms and the e-coli bacteria in the ground waters caused by cow manure. Has an environmental assessment been done?

If not, what exactly might

Volume 6, Issue 17

be polluting the area? What dumps might there be? Or infected forests and contaminated waters?

I am concerned that Canada will claim that the theft of our lands was actually "legal" which in turn undermines the claims itself and the decades of work by our researchers which substantiated the oral testimony.

I am concerned at the lack of firm control over the money part-as it stands the ominous issue of per capita payments has not been excluded nor are there any rules to prevent profiteering by those who will buy in the contested area and try and resell for their own profit.

When I was a member of the Nation's Land Claims Committee I supported the late Ron Lafrance Sr. We both believed that all returned lands would come under Mohawk control. We refused to cede any land. We rejected the Seven Nations "treaty".

We insisted those who stole our lands pay for damages and a fair rental fee from the time of loss to the present. We fought for the Mohawk Nation Council to take the lead on all land issues since it was the only governing entity at Akwesasne which was rooted in our history and held the fire wampum for all Mohawks. We wanted to include all other Mohawk councils to sit with us as a show of unity but with the Nation Council first and foremost.

For those who do have doubts, I ask you to contact the Mohawk Nation Council and ask the clanmothers (who hold real title to the land) and chiefs if they have endorsed the Dundee proposal. If not, then it should be rejected and returned to the people to make it consistent with our laws, our values and not those of hostile Quebec and Canadian governments.

COLUMN: Thunder Woman Speaks by Rachel A. Snow The Creator`s people protect the land RACHEL A. SNOW

rachelannsnow634@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The land in this stolen country is “owned” by the original people. They agreed to share this land with the newcomers. The newcomer, who fought alongside Indian nations and emerged “victorious” over other European contenders, was the United Kingdom.

At the international level, it is understood that only nations enter into treaties. Therefore the treaties made on this land were formed between nations. The United Kingdom Crown and the sovereignty of the original peoples were acknowledged in the formation of this country.

Currently the 2018 Trudeau government seeks to upset this historical authority. In 1976, a contingent of Alberta chiefs went to lobby Queen Elizabeth on including treaty obligations into Trudeau the elder’s 1982 constitutional patriation.

Indigenous rights and title were protected or brought forward through Section 35 of the Canadian constitution. Section 35 states that the existing ab-

original and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed.

Section 35 was never to be defined by Canada. The intent of Section 35 remains to place treaty paramountcy before Canadian institutions, legislation and policy.

Trudeau’s proposed Recognition and Implementation of Indigenous rights Framework is another sad federal attempt to undermine the historic nation-to-nation relationship between the original people and the UK Crown who made the agreements to share this land. Worse, Trudeau’s proposed recognition framework talks only about rights and not about the underlying issue which is the land.

Current Indian Act leadership does not seem to understand the danger in acquiescing to a rights based approach spewed with phrases like nation-to-nation.

Indian Affairs has effectively undermined Indigenous governance.

Indian Affairs replaced original governance structures with a two-year voting system on reserve.

This was deliberately destructive because there was high turnover in governing councils and the

two-year time frame was to short to affect meaningful change in First Nation communities. Later, Indian Affairs got First Nation consent on governing through elections using the word “custom” and placing it in front of their undemocratic process. On reserve voting families do not change. High nepotism, vote buying, lateral violence and corruption can go unchecked for years. Indian Affairs has had knowledge of this faulty model. This is why there is a current rush to have Indian Act governing chiefs bless this rights framework.

In the historic treaty areas, Indian affairs is relying on the misfeasance that exists in current dysfunctional governance models to agree to ten-year funding derogation processes or other deliberate money taking policies which hold appeal for impoverished First Nation governments and communities.

If tainted leadership is not enough to pass the Rights Framework, Indian affairs has also enlisted tables of modern day “treaty” participants. Do not be fooled by the hijacking of the word “treaty”. Modern day agreement holders are those First Nations

who are terminating their inherent rights to land or a way of life, with Canada.

This is not the fault of modern day agreement holders. This is the only way that Canada will deal.

Canada is also sitting with the provinces, industry and other Indigenous groups (the Metis and the Inuit) who are distinct from the original people who made treaty that then became this nation state called Canada.

Therefore we have an indication of Canada’s true purpose. Canada’s interference into on reserve governance compounded with existing termination of rights tables will be the compromised voices that are willing to sign on to domestication of international sovereignty rights.

There are indigenous activist networks working at the grassroots level to educate the indigenous people on this carefully worded threat. The grassroots or the original people are collectively the land “owners” or holders.

The provisions agreed to by international treaty form the basis for the relationship with the original people and all newcomers or their descendent beneficiaries.

Therefore the grassroots people are the voice

that must be informed and must consent. Canada through the department of Indian Affairs, now Crown Relations and the Department of Indigenous Services Canada are the propaganda portals that are playing to the ignorant Canadian masses who do not understand the true history of this land.

Canada cannot interfere in the original treaty agreements that came before Canada was a newborn state. It is because of the original treaties that there is an agreement in place to live peaceably and to share the land between the original people and all settler newcomers.

Canada’s history starts with genocide and expansion west, forced starvation and repeated federal efforts through policy or legislation to kill or assimilate the original people.

The proposed Rights Recognition Framework is another piece of legislation that promises to even the playing field while controlling the definitions of the field, the players, the rules and the dispute mechanisms of the game.

It is still a no win situation still for the original people.

However, there are original people who are critically analyzing the

proposed legislation and using communication paths to once again alert the camp that the enemy is planning an attack. This polarized discussion will not cease until Canada understands that they are indebted to the original people. Following this admission, Canada must then ask the original people to develop a fair process. Five hundred years of colonized actions have taught the original people that this successor state is trying to move forward without paying outstanding rent.

Today, First Nations in Canada and their grim statistics are the best indicators to document Canada’s continued paternalistic failures to “solve the Indian problem”. The Indian Act was a legislation that was to solve or at best to “contain” the Indian problem.

The Indian Act itself has created bureaucratic nightmares for governance and membership. These past legislative errors cannot be solved with the introduction of a new piece of legislation.

Canada will not blind the ancestral visions that continue to live on in the descendent original peoples of this land. We are the Creator’s people, we protect the land, we see and we are awake.

5 activities for your kids to do over winter break (NC) There’s the busy lead-up to Christmas, the happy frenzy of the day itself and that sweet spot afterwards, when children’s gifts are still new and interesting.

But most kids get two weeks off school. It’s easy to default to Netflix or videogames, but these can leave everyone climbing the walls after awhile.

If you’re home with your kids, there are many

things to do to fill the time. Many involve learning something together — not a bad idea for kids who’ll need to think again in January.

Here are five things you can do over the winter break: 1.

Take advantage of free activities. Check the “What’s On?” schedule for your community. Community centres, libraries and public parks and rinks

often have great ways to spend time together.

2.

Download an educational app or two.

Then give your kids a series of challenges to complete. Google Earth can take them anywhere in the world. What are five things they see when standing beside the Eiffel Tower?

3.

Deliver a gift overseas. The World Vision Gift Catalogue

explores the lives of kids

in developing countries.

Have your child browse the site and select a gift from your family to theirs.

Your donation before December 31 means a 2018 tax receipt.

4.

Read a new book together. You can share the same book or read your own together. Chat about the latest chapter at dinnertime each day.

Which character do they like best? Can they guess what will happen next?

5.

Take a bus or train trip. Is there a part of the city you haven’t visited? A nearby town you’d like to see? Pack a lunch, then hit the road on wheels or rail. If they have a phone, document the day with pictures.

SIX NATIONS — The doors to the Gathering Place by the Grand had tons of Pro-Wrestling fans lined up an waiting outside for the Six Nations Slam to begin as the nights main event last Friday evening.

The evening brought together some of the best wrestling talent in Ontario and beyond as the likes of Gabriel Fuerza squared off with the golden Gun Mark Wheeler, Colt Cabana versus Pretty Ricky Wildey and Sabu and Super Genie threw down with the King of Pain Warhed. A special guest appearance was made by WWE Legend The Honky Tonk Man throughout the night for fans as well.

decades.

Professional wrestling did however become identifies with modern theatrics and moved away from being a showcase of true competition in the 1930’s and often involved “match fixing.” The WWE began over forty years later in 1979 in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts in the USA. But the packed venue for the evening showed that the love for wrestling has stayed strong in its reach to Canada.

Maracle said that he was humbled by the willingness of wrestling talent that wanted to come and compete at the venue.

“It was amazing, even

just to get those emails like ‘yeah I’ll come do it,’ so it’s been a good night,” he said. “To see people lined up outside the building was insane.’

Maracle explained that for the evening, the hosts dedicated the event to the memories of Al Porter, Tor “Thor Hart” Larviere and Mario D’Eri. As he hopes to make the event in Six Nations the main wrestling event out of all of the others throughout the year, Maracle said that the respect coming from the community was abundant throughout the night.

First Nations voters flipped 22 ridings in 2015 and ready to do it again: Chief Bellegarde CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA – Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde has a pointed message for federal politicians: Listen to First Nations priorities, or else.

Bellegarde says First Nations voters were responsible for flipping 22

ridings in the 2015 federal election and candidates in next year's election had better attend to First Nations' needs and demands.

Bellegarde was speaking at the Assembly of First Nations' Special Chiefs Assembly in Ottawa today.

He talked about putting his organization's ``Closing the Gap'' document in front of each party during the last federal election.

It outlined priorities on everything from the environment to Indigenous languages and he said it sent the message that they had better be part of a party's platform if it wanted power.

Bellegarde says he wants to see a few key pieces of legislation passed before the House rises in June, including the long-awaited Indigenous Languages Act, recently

announced child welfare legislation and NDP MP Romeo Saganash's private member's bill, which seeks to ensure the laws of Canada line up with the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

He also spoke about climate change and asked the chiefs and delegates to support a carbon tax as one way to head it off.

OTTAWA - When Liberal MP Robert-Falcon Ouellette gave a speech last year entirely in Cree, hardly any of his fellow parliamentarians in the House of Commons understood a word he said.

That's because Commons rules recognized only French and English as languages deserving of simultaneous translation.

But no more.

Members of Parliament from all parties have accepted a report that recommends interpretation services be made available on request for any MP who wishes to use one of more than 60 Indigenous languages in the Commons or in a Commons committee.

Reasonable notice must be given so that the House administration has time to secure, if possible, the required translation service.

Ouellette calls it ``the most significant event for languages'' in Canada since 1952, when French translation services were

introduced, and says it signals to Indigenous people that their languages ``are just as important as English and French.'' ``It is a momentous occasion to demonstrate to Indigenous Canadians that this chamber is fully representative of each and every one of us in this country, that we are not half citizens, that we are full citizens of this nation,'' he said Thursday outside the Commons as MPs in the chamber were debating the matter.

Ouellette expressed hope that the move will help save ``the original languages of Canada,'' which are in danger dying out. ``With this now we have a fighting chance to ensure that our children will be able to speak those languages and speak those languages well and into the future.''

Commons Speaker Geoff Regan referred the issue to the procedure and House affairs committee after Ouellette raised a point of privilege about the lack of translation services for his speech last year.

Indigenous knowledge is the solution to Canada's health inequities CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

This article was originally published on The Conversation, an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.

Disclosure information is available on the original site.

Author: Debbie Martin, Associate Professor & Canada Research Chair, Indigenous Peoples' Health and Well-being, Dalhousie University It is no secret there are stark differences between the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada and their non-Indigenous counterparts.

First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples fare more poorly than the average Canadian on virtually every measurable health indicator including infant mortality, maternal health, suicide, mental health, addictions, life expectancy, birth rates, infant and child health issues, chronic diseases and the incidence of illness and injury.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action appeal to the health sector. They call for the federal government to publish annual progress reports on its attempts to measure and address this unacceptable gap.

They also argue for more cultural competency training for health and medical professionals, as well as greater efforts to attract and retain Indigenous students into the health professions. These suggestions are measurable, achievable and commendable. However, these efforts will do very little, in and of themselves, to close the health gap.

Well, you might say, if addressing issues within the health-care system won't solve the health crises facing Indigenous communities, then what will?

Indigenous knowledge.

But before we go there, let's take a step back.

Plant medicines and ceremonies Let's imagine for a moment that we all wake up tomorrow and somehow all of the recommendations from the TRC that directly pertain to health have been addressed.

The health and medical professionals in our health-care system have received cultural competency training. We have managed to attract and retain Indigenous health and medical staff within all of our health-care institutions. Students in all health professional programs are receiving mandatory curriculum that educates them specifically about Indigenous history and health.

There is a robust progress report released each year that measures steps taken within the health-care system to reduce inequities.

These would be amazing leaps forward and I sincerely hope that we all wake up tomorrow and these changes have happened.

However, the question I keep coming back to is: what measurable improvements could that yearly progress report possibly offer if we continue to restrict our notion of Indigenous health to that which can be addressed and solved by the health-care system?

Now let's return to the term Indigenous knowledge. I use this term in its broadest, most complete and utterly comprehensive sense. Indigenous knowledge includes, but is not limited to, knowledge about traditional medicines.

Within the boreal forests of Canada, for example, more than 546 diverse plant species have been used by Indigenous peoples to treat over 28 different diseases and disorders, including everything from gastrointestinal disorders to musculoskeletal issues.

But Indigenous knowledge does not stop there.

Indigenous knowledge also includes practices that relate to overall health and well-being. One example of this would be the ceremony of smudging, which is performed by many First Nations across the country.

Two separate studies have found that the act of using medicinal smoke may have particular health benefits and can act as an air purifier by reducing airborne bacteria that is harmful for human health.

Now let's imagine for a moment that hospitals and pharmacies decided to start prescribing these different types of plants medicines to their patients beginning tomorrow. Would that address the health gap

between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples?

Probably not.

Stories teach us how to heal One of the reasons for this is that Indigenous knowledge is (w)holistic _ spelled with a ``w'' to indicate the whole-ness and completeness of the knowledge.

It is intended to exist within a particular context, for a specific purpose and tailored to the intended users and/or listeners of that knowledge.

This is why, in virtually

any Indigenous culture, Elders will share their knowledge via stories.

Those stories hold infinite lessons _ about life, about living, about what are the important things to learn from and focus on.

You may hear the same story more than once. And that is OK because each time you hear it, you may take a little more meaning away it. Until one day that story becomes a part of you, and you can pass it along to others.

Often the stories that get shared might teach you

Students!!

something specific _ like, for example, how to use a certain tree root to cure a headache. But the real meaning behind the stories isn't simply the intellectual knowledge that you have gained about the medicinal use of a plant.

The story itself will tell you much more than that _ it will teach about our relationships to one another as human beings, and about the relationship between us and our four-legged, winged, finned, rooted and non-rooted relations that live alongside us on this

shared space we call home, or Mother Earth.

And as we learn these important stories, we learn to understand that it is in our best interest, as human beings, to protect and preserve the air, water and soil around us so that the plants and animals upon which we rely for our own well-being will continue to be there for us when we need them.

It is the richness of language, culture and rootedness in place that gives rise

Indigenous Panamanians compete in ancestral games

By Juan Zamorano

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PIRIATI, Panama – Some brought bows and arrows to show off shooting skills.

Others came to demonstrate their strength, endurance or ability to pull heavy ropes or to paddle small wooden dugout canoes.

The women wore brightly hued dresses in red, orange, green and purple, with hand-embroidered details. Men stained their arms and faces with black ink extracted from a mountainous fruit. Some wore loin cloths with in-

tricate beaded geometric designs, and strings of yet more beads crisscrossing their chests.

For two days, more than 100 competitors from the main indigenous groups of Panama _ the Guna, Embera and Ngabe-Bugle _ converged for the second time to celebrate their ancestral games. ``Everyone has to show dexterity, their tradition, their dance, their behaviour,'' said Eduardo Lopez, a member of the Guna community and co-ordinator of the games.

At night, the groups intermingled to share

dance and music traditions. Drums beat. Flutes vibrated.

These games held in the Embera town of Piriati, some 55 miles (90 kilometres) east of the capital, drew athletes who will represent Panama in the third edition of the World Indigenous Peoples Games, which may be held in New Zealand, Colombia or another country with a large indigenous community.

Panama attended the first world competition in Brazil in 2015 and participated in the next one in Canada in 2017.

pertain to health.

In his last Facebook post before his death, acclaimed Indigenous writer Richard Wagamese captured this sentiment very well. He stated: ``I've been considering the phrase 'all my relations' for some time now.

It's hugely important. It's our saving grace in the end.

It points to the truth that we are related, we are all connected, we all belong to each other. The most important word is all. Not just those who look like me, sing like me, dance like me, speak like me, pray like me or behave like me.

ALL my relations. It means every person just as it means every blade of grass, rock, mineral and creature.

We live because everything else does. If we were to collectively choose to live

that teaching the energy of that change of consciousness would heal all of us _ and heal the planet. We do it one person, one heart at a time? we are connected, we are the answer.'' Richard Wagamese, Facebook, Feb. 23, 2015.

Respect for ``all our relations'' So what is required for us to lessen the gap in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples? It requires relationships _ listening and learning about how to respect one another and the world around us.

So yes, the TRC is right _ we do need more Indigenous health professionals, more culturally competent health-care providers, and we do need to measure our progress.

But we need to do so within the context of the TRC Calls to Action, addressing not just those that

In becoming a naturalized Canadian citizen you must recite the oath of citizenship, which some view as offensive to their values. In an attempt to get around the required pledge of allegiance to the Queen of Canada; Bar-Natan one of three people who challenged and formally rescinded the embedded Oath of Allegiance through court wherein the judge ruled the oath is not a personal allegiance, but that it is a required acceptance of how the Canadian society is in-fact structured.

While challenges are still being waged, the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations initiated changes within the pledge that now include observance to treaties with Indigenous Peoples.

It reads: "I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors, and that I will faithfully

observe the laws of Canada including treaties with Indigenous Peoples, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen."

On December 3 the municipal officers were sworn into their official positions, this ceremony incudes a signing of a declaration, an oath of office and pledge of allegiance to the Queen, this legality is a required part of the trust and loyalty the sworn in officer now represents.

Gaetan Baillargeon, a member of the Constance Lake First Nation, was to be sworn in when he addressed the clerk expressing that he would like help to amend the wording of section 4 referencing the pledge of allegiance to the Queen, which he does find in conflict with his own views of Aboriginal people and the Crown.

His request was refused leaving him with no choice but to renounce his seat.

The section that Baillargeon has objected to reads: “I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second.”

This is a very unique situation for the democratic process Canadians have come to rely upon for a greater sense of security, but, what about the Constance Lake First Nation members who live in the area now void of the security they may have banked on.

This is one way to mock the system, and create a more open and contentious dialog on who is actually on the other end of our treaty agreements, and provides anecdotal evidence as to who can and who cannot actually represent the real interests of the Onkwehonwe.

These challenges create opportunities to build a better understanding of what is fully meant by “Honor of the Crown” or to “…bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen”; this always was meant to include the respect for our treaties and should obligate the municipality to see past their own personal interests.

It’s time that the Declaration of Office also reflect the changes made to the Oath of Citizenship.

Six Nations Slam a huge hit cont'd CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

much negativity lately that it’s good to see these families out smiling again and it meant a lot to me to dedicate the show to one of my good friends. Alan and I were wrestling fans together and to have the crowd react the way they did was something else. I always say that wrestling fans can be boisterous and opinionated, but they are

one of the most respectful crowds I’ve ever dealt with. When we did the ten bell salute for those we dedicated the event in memory of, and raised Al’s picture and he’s not even a wrestler, they stayed quiet and were respectful.”

The emotional moment hit a bit harder as well when the crowd applauded, Maracle explained. He also noted

that the crowd didn’t diminish over the course of the night and many visitors seemed keen on reserving their seats even just to visit the washroom.

As the pro-wrestling events have continued to garner large crowds and fill their venues, keep an eye open for more to come.

Noise for Toys fills truckloads Local artist Logan Staats plays Santa for benefit concert at Sanderson Centre CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — The first Annual Noise for Toys Toy Drive took place last Friday evening at the Sanderson Centre.

An energetic crowd rallied to enjoy the live performance of Logan Staats, who performed with the Geoff Hudson Band for the first time locally, and to bring together donations for kids in need this Christmas.

Roughly 400 to 450 people attended the live event and three truckloads of toys were donated and gathered to help brighten the holidays for families in need.

“Every person brought at least one toy,” said Staats. “And I’m hoping to help drop these toys off while rocking a Santa suit.”

Through the toy drive, Staats was able to perform live for his local fan base once again and he explained that the Sanderson Centre used to make him “shake like a leaf.”

But now, the centre has

of both communities coming together to do something really great and it really was the best Christmas present that I could ever ask for was seeing both communities working together in tandem to make some kids happy.”

After speaking with Six Nations Elected Council Chief Ava Hill, Staats has decided on several places to drop off some of the toys.

“I think majority of the toys will be going to different foster care organizations and we’re gonna send some to Ontario Works for less fortunate families, and I’m going to

But he is still open to suggestion as this is the first year of the toy drive and it’s success has garnered need for more ideas.

“We still have a little bit of time before Christmas, so if anyone has any ideas on where to send some of

these toys because we got so many, just DM me on Facebook or Instagram with some ideas — I could really use some help in deciding where else to send some of these.”

Worldwide growth of Creator`s Game Lacrosse is gaining International popularity

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — In the past three years, two new countries have joined the long and growing list of Nations around the world that are playing lacrosse as an organized sport. This year, the Philippines officially joined the world-wide fraternity of lacrosse. They are joining a fraternity that spans around the world.

Porto Rico also entered the lacrosse world recently as well.

The Federation of International Lacrosse lists some of the more remote countries you would ever believe are playing the Creators game, started amongst the Haudenosaunee people as a gift

by Peacemaker to settle disputes between villages and tribes.

Leagues are now popping up all over the world and one can take in a lacrosse game almost anywhere, including; the Argentina Lacrosse Association; The Asia Pacific Lacrosse Union; Austrailia; Belgium; Bermuda; Bulgaria; Chile; Canada; China; Columbia; Croatia; Czech Republic; Denmark; England; Estonia; European Lacrosse Federation; France; Finland; Germany; Guatemala; Haiti; Hungary; Hong Kong; Ireland; Italy; Jamaica; Japan; Korea; Latvia; Luxembourg; Mexico; Netherlands; New Zealand; Poland; Portugal; Puerto Rico; Peru; Qatar; Russia; Scotland; Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; Turkey; Uganda; Ukraine;

LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA

USA and Wales. Add to that, of course, the Iroquois Nationals and the Haudenosaunee Nation.

With lacrosse booming around the world, “why is it not an Olympic sport?,” one may ask. The answer is, it has appeared as a demonstration sport occasionally, but was an official Olympic sport only twice.

The first time it was the 1904, at the St. Louis Games, as a part of the World’s Fair. Canada entered two teams that year.

The first Team Canada, the Winnipeg Shamrocks, consisted of all non-Native, Canadian players. They won Gold that year. Second place was won by Team USA and the Bronze medal was awarded to a second “Canadian” team which was made up of exclusively Haudenosaunee players.

The official list of players included, Black Hawk, brought on board from the Mohawk Indians Lacrosse Team to represent Canada. Very little is known of Black Eagle, also a Mohawk Team member. Others with names like Almighty Voice, Flat Iron, Spotted Tail, Half Moon, Lightfoot, Snake Eat-

er, Red Jacket, Night Hawk, Man Afraid Soap, and Rain in the Face, are listed as players.

In 1908, the second, Canadian team, the Haudenosaunee team, did not compete. In fact only two teams did. Canada won Gold and USA won silver. It was removed as an official Olympic sport the following games.

The sport was new to the eyes of the non-Haudenosaunee world at that time and had not spread to countries outside of Canada, England and the USA. Understandably,

the Olympic Committee removed it as an official Olympic sport since it was only played in two or three places around the world. It was brought back in 1928, 1932, and 1948, but only as a demonstration sport.

But today, lacrosse has become the fastest growing team sport in the world. There are teams good enough to compete internationally everywhere.

More than 59 countries are actively building or already have high level lacrosse programs and national teams. Perhaps it’s time to try again.

The Philippines is the latest country to be bitten by the Lacrosse bug. Philippine lacrosse is booming throughout Indonesia

ANAHEIM — It has been a hot winter for the Anaheim Ducks in since mid-November and so far in December. The latest two points came as a result of a thrilling four goal, come-from behind finish in Washington. The Ducks’ 6-5 win over last year’s Stanley Cup winners kept their hot streak going.

Down 3-1 after the first period, and 5-1 by the 13:30 mark of the second, the Ducks looked like they were about to be roasted. That’s when the tide turned when Andrew Cogliano and Rickard Rakell closed the period at 5-2.

The momentom continued in the third when Pontus Aberg scored his eighth goal of the season on a powerplay, with Dmitry Orlov serving time for boarding.

Orlov drew another boarding penalty at 8:10 creating a powerplay opportunity for Anaheim to pull closer. Hampus Lindholm converted that opportunity to end the second frame, 5-3, with Anaheim holding the momentum.

In the third period, Aberg, scored his eighth of the season at 7:16, and the ninth of the season

with the game winner at 14:55, and with Lindholm scoring at 9:01 them to tie the game.

Recent success has given the Anaheim Ducks a lot of confidence and points starting with November 16th’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, worth a point. They earned a single point again the following night against the Colorado Avalanche in the Av’s 4-3 OT win.

Wednesday, Nov. 21st, the Ducks won 4-3 against Vancouver.

The Nashville Predators broke the string Nov. 25th defeating the Ducks 5-2, but two nights later, the Ducks were back in the winners circle with a 3-1 win in Tampa Bay, a 3-2 win against the Florida Panthers, Wednesday, 28th, a 2-1 OT win in Carolina Nov. 30th, and Sunday’s 6-5 come-frombehind win over Ovi and the Capitals in Washington.

The hot streak has put the Ducks on top of the Western Division standings with 14 wins, 10 losses, and five OT points for 33 points after 29 games played. A three game home stand begins Wednesday when Anaheim hosts Chicago, Carolina Friday, and New Jersey Sunday.

In Memoriam

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your heart was so kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with the love in our hearts You will walk with us forever IN MEMORIAL Raymond “Lummy” Martin March 9, 1931 - Dec 9, 2017 Miss you so Cathy and family

Thank You The Friends of Stump Hall Committee would like to say Nia:wen kowa to everyone that supported our recent Stump Hall Cemetery Fundraisers. The Friends of Stump Hall are a small group of 7 community members.

One of our duties is to ensure that the Stump Hall Cemetery has a budget to maintain the grounds throughout the seasons. This is made possible by donations and fundraising.

At the Music Jam on Nov. 17, $500 was raised. Thank you to all of the musicians and those individuals who donated food for the potluck meal. We also want to recognize Pastor Phil and Linda Sault for the use of the Chiefswood Fellowship building for the event. Your generosity is appreciated very much. At the Festive Sale on Dec. 1, $675 was raised. We are thankful for all of the vendors and shoppers that came out to shop and visit. Thank you to Dallas and Warren Squire for the use of the facilities at Kanata Village for the Festive Sale. You helped to make the event successful with your care and concern for all of us.

It is our hope that we honour our family and loved ones who have chosen Stump Hall Cemetery as their final resting place. Please feel free to help our Committee in any way.
