Students at Russell Reid Demand Action on Climate Change STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — A group of environmentally consciously Grade 8 students organized a rally to raise awareness of climate change, and to put pressure on elected officials who are in a position to do something about it.

“We wanted to grab as much attention as we could, and inspire people to make small changes to help the earth,” says Charlotte, a Grade 8 student who is part of small group of students who’ve dubbed themselves The Future. “Having a safe planet is the most important thing.”

The initiative grew out of a data manage-

the school’s recycling program. The data began to reveal that even with the blue bins in place, they weren’t always being used properly, and so the group set out to determine why.

It became apparent that an awareness-raising campaign was needed at the school. The group didn’t expect to catch the attention of a City of Brantford Councillor, however.

“Charlotte sent me an email to tell me about the work they’d done, and it was clear the group had given these issues a lot of thought,” said City of Brantford Ward 2 Councillor John Sless, who is at the beginning stages of proposing a bill that would eliminate single-use plastic straws

in the city. “Anything we can do to empower them and help them get more involved is very worthwhile.”

Sless was on hand at the rally, and has invited the students to be a part of what will likely be at least a year-long process to pass the bill.

“It should be the ultimate civics lesson,” Sless said.

With placards reading “Make the Planet Cool Again,” and a chant of “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Climate change has got to go,” intermediate students left their classrooms briefly and took to the sidewalk, Charlotte using a megaphone to drum up further enthusiasm for the cause.

Passing cars offered honks

and waves.

“We won’t have a future without a healthy, clean planet,” said Grade 8 student Hannah, also part of The Future. “We can do something now to make the difference.”

The group has plans to continue building the momentum the rally helped spark, and is bringing plenty of awareness and action to their school in the process.

“My generation was supposed to be the one that would do something to solve the climate crisis, and now the current generation is speaking up and asking us to listen,” said Richard Leadbetter, Principal at Russel Reid, during the rally. “I think

today’s event has gone beyond the students’ expectations, and it’s very clear to them that people are listening.”

Grand Erie District School Board Trustee Carol Ann Sloat was also on hand for the rally. She was impressed with the passion and knowledge of the students and the efforts of the entire school in putting the environment first.

“It’s wonderful to see our elementary students reminding us of the duty we all have to our world,” said Sloat. “Their efforts reflect Grand Erie’s MultiYear Plan and our focus on Environment as one of six key indicators of Success for Every Student.”

Russell Reid Public School’s rally for climate change received community support.

RACHEL SNOW COLUMN: Thunder Woman Speaks

Trail of critical errors in Trudeau’s relationship with indigenous people RACHEL A. SNOW

rachelannsnow634@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Justin Trudeau’s personal campaign slogan repeated this phrase: “… there is no relationship more important to me than Canada’s relationship with Indigenous people”.

But to date, the prime minister’s incompetent measures to address Indigenous issues have spent more money on public relations misleading the Canadian public, than what is actually spent on solving critical Indigenous issues.

In 2015, Trudeau planned an immediate public inquiry on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). Trudeau’s Liberal government started the inquiry by handpicking commissioners, directing the terms of reference but failed to include a national police review.

The MMIWG inquiry has had high employee turnover — including losing a commissioner, bungling regional meetings, and triggering family survivor angst with ill equipped mainstream supports for a limited time period. The final act of desperation for this inquiry debacle was to

ask for an extension.

Trudeau then spent time unilaterally framing ten principles that would direct the thinking of “nation-to-nation” talks. Following those ten principles, Trudeau split the Department of Indian Affairs into the Department of Indigenous Services Canada and Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs.

One sided principles developed by the Liberal government without First Nation input is not exercising good faith or forging a “new relationship”.

Now, Liberals have tabled two pieces of Indigenous legislation that will assist, support or “save” our First Nation languages.

In the Indigenous Languages Act, federal control stays in the position of an appointed “commissioner”. The act includes wording to domesticate the international standing of our languages to come under the Canadian government and their interpretation of Section 35 of the Canadian constitution.

As time runs out in the first parliamentary session of 2019, Trudeau now wants child and family services (CFS) legislation passed through

the House of Commons — effectively sidestepping the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal’s decision that the Federal government has discriminated in funding for off/on reserve foster care parents.

Trudeau’s “Indigenous” CFS legislation will maintain provincial controls and not equalize foster care payments for on/off reserve parents as ordered by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

The Liberal government has denied repeated requests to equalize the funding, stating they need time to study this issue.

While “studying the CFS issue”, Trudeau’s government has been waiting on Indian Affairs bureaucrats to develop a new legislation that will continue to scoop First Nation children away from indigenous parents.

This will ensure that family service networks continue to have “Canadian” employment while keeping genocide going in the industry of “taking care of Indians”.

First Nations have culturally relevant and millennia old systems that parent and nurture children. Jurisdiction of children is exclusive to each First Nation. Hasn’t the residential school experience shown that taking Indian children costs

more for bureaucrats and politicians who attempt to better our millennia old practices?

Sadly Trudeau is not alone in this work to dupe Canadians and the Indigenous people themselves. Trudeau has found a willing partner in the Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde to fool the Canadian people, the Indian Act chiefs and their bands of Indians.

Trudeau’s measures continue to build colonial structures (forts) with Indians standing around these forts or waiting on the federal government and the Indian Act for their sovereign rights, title and funds.

Russ Diabo recently stated; “It is the fiftieth anniversary of the announcement of Trudeau’s (the elder) 1969 White Paper policy.”

Meanwhile, the legacy of the original White Paper continues in current policies and legislation albeit in a piecemeal approach from this Liberal government. Fifty years later and Trudeau the younger is still brandishing recognizable colonial tactics.

Thankfully, Indigenous people understand the rhetoric, false promises and the repackaged policies that are the second

coming of the same approach.

This approach is a national failure that enables an ongoing Indigenous genocide through poverty and other social ills.

Now we see that everything is not fine.

Trudeau’s one shining Indigenous cabinet member, MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, was demoted from her position as Minister of Justice and Attorney General over to Minister of Veterans Affairs. Now there is scandal circulating that Wilson-Raybould may have been moved because of a failure to follow through on a request of the Prime Minister’s Office — to stay charges of fraud and corruption against a multi million dollar engineering and construction corporation from Quebec called SNC-Lavalin.

On Tuesday morning, Wilson-Raybould resigned and secured a lawyer to assess what she can and cannot say about the accusations.

Canadians need to critically think about this. The First Nations at Unisto’ten are land defenders trying to keep the dying petro-industry from killing the land and waters of this land. Is this purpose serving the public good?

Are these people then, not working for the global

good?

Trudeau’s agenda for pushing through archaic industries must be stopped. The federal purchase of the TransMountain pipeline took the democratic will of the people and replaced it with the corporate agenda of a few billionaires.

Trudeau and other pipeline proponents have quoted the “rule of law” to defend their position in tearing up the camp at Unist’oten. Where is this rule of law when there are two sets of payments for foster parents on reserve and off reserve? Where is this rule of law when there are ethical issues in the background of demoting an indigenous Minister in Trudeau’s government?

In 2019, it is time for the actual greater good to care about the environment, and to invest in the future of these lands and waters. That means returning to the ancestral teachings that sustained this land for generations.

That means listening and adopting Indigenous teachings instead of legislating them into oblivion.

We are not taking the legislative trinkets that will assimilate or terminate our people. We are the stewards and first people of this land and we will continue to fight.

The feathers and the marrow: a dual book review CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Exploring a fictional world while holding the hand of Cherie Dimaline and allowing the real world to shake us awake with Tanya Talaga.

What has become almost common knowledge today is that many indigenous peoples lost their languages.

The oldest of languages that were spoken on the American continents that were tied to the very lands that they came from, were either eradicated early-on or altered in time after residential school systems.

It seemed as though by losing those languages, many speakers then lost their voices. This allowed for histories to be lost, stories to be erased and cultural slates to be wiped clean.

But, there is a Phoenix emerging from those ashes in the form of contemporary and journalistic indigenous writers. These writers may have lost their generational language, but are making full use of a tongue foreign to their ancestors to write

Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga.

SUBMITTED FILE

stories that can be understood by all of us today.

Their stories may be heart breaking in the sense that they carry the raw and real stories of the indigenous people today, or they may be fictional but full of inspiration from the current world: This would describe the contrast between two works; Seven Fallen Feathers by Talaga and The Marrow Thieves by Dimaline.

An award-winning investigative journalist for the Toronto Star, Talaga originally visited Thunder Bay, Ontario to write a story about why First Na-tions people were not voting in the federal

election. Instead, during her visit she came across a series of much more important stories which were the deaths of seven Indigenous high school students of the Nish-nawbe Aski Nation.

This led to the compilation found within her work, which has been sub-headed with “Racism, Death and Hard Truths in a northern City.”

As the haunting but beautiful cover art depicts, each of the fallen feathers represents a young Indigenous student that was forced to leave home to pursue education; an education that took them away from families that have been plagued by the intergenerational trauma resulting from residential schools. Many of these youth were found in rivers, despite being strong swimmers and having lived by water their entire lives. Subsequently, all of their deaths were deemed accidental by local authorities.

The wealth of information Talaga provides is a direct sign that the legacy of colonialism and the genocidal policy of residential schools is not yet behind us, as it leaks into a shameful present. The

stories behind each of the seven fallen feathers picks apart the belief that racism is no longer abundant, and exposes it for what it is. Each child had a family that was failed by the system both before, and after their passing. The book has won numerous awards since its publishing in 2017, and continues to be relevant.

On the other end of the writing spectrum, we are welcomed into the world of Frenchie through Metis author and editor, Dimaline, who was awarded the Governor General's Literary Award for Young people's literature for the work.

Finding comfort in a dystopian future, readers are taken to a world where humanity has nearly destroyed the planet through global warming.

The Indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow because it carries a key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream.

In this world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the “old lands.”

For now, survival means

Trudeau Liberals face pushback on Indigenous child welfare legislation OTTAWA — The federal government is working ``day and night'' to ensure concerns over proposed welfare legislation to benefit Indigenous children are taken seriously to enable the bill to be introduced soon, Indigenous Services Minister Seamus O'Regan said Friday.

It would be unhelpful and ``entirely disrespectful'' if the concerns were not heard, O'Regan said in an interview, adding the government hopes to be able to table the bill as quickly as possible.

Earlier this week, Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Chief Bobby Cameron published an open letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying the bill allowed for ``provincial intrusion'' into First Nations' sovereignty. ``(W)e do not wish to see the federal government put in place a child-welfare system that subordinates or places us

under a province with no recognition of our right to set our own family policy and protect our children and families,'' he wrote.

If provincial authorities can tell First Nations how to handle child-welfare cases, that's a renewal of colonialism, he wrote.

In November, former Indigenous-services minister Jane Philpott, now the president of the Treasury Board, said the government was moving forward with legislation to address a broken child welfare system in Canada that has taken Indigenous kids from their families for more than a century. ``This is our modern-day variation on the legacy of residential schools,'' she said, vowing that children would no longer be removed from families over poverty alone. Philpott also said she hoped there will be enough time to get the bill passed before October's federal election.

At the time of January's cabinet shuffle, she also suggested the bill was ready to go as she handed the portfolio over to O'Regan.

(Cameron's letter says he and his federation want to have a good relationship with O'Regan but are frustrated to deal with a new minister ``at such a crucial moment.'')

Since the shuffle, however, the Trudeau Liberals have opted to delay the legislation, which was originally expected to be brought forward by the end of January.

O'Regan said the government heard through engagement with First Nations, Inuit and Metis that ``essential elements'' must be addressed before that can happen. ``We still very much want to stay on track but we understand that everyday counts and that's how we are operating,'' O'Regan said Friday.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was ``surprised and disappointed'' by Jody Wilson-Raybould's resignation Tuesday from his cabinet — one day after he'd touted her continuing presence there as proof she hadn't been improperly pressured to help SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution.

If she had been pressured, Trudeau said, she had an obligation to raise her concerns with him; she never did. ``In regards to the matter of SNC-Lavalin, let me be direct. The government of Canada did its job and to the clear public standards expected of it,'' he said following an event in Winnipeg.

Trudeau said Wilson-Raybould, who was attorney general at the time, had a particular obligation to raise any concerns about improper pressure but, ``of course, she said nothing of that to me last fall.''

In a letter to Trudeau published on her website Tuesday morning, Wilson-Raybould said she was resigning ``with a heavy heart'' but did not explain why.

However, she said she's aware that ``many Canadians wish for me speak (sic) on matters that have been in the media over the last week'' _ referring to the furor that erupted after a news report last Thursday alleged she was demoted

to veterans-affairs minister in January from the prestigious justice portfolio because she had refused to give in to pressure last fall from the Prime Minister's Office on the SNC-Lavalin case.

The Montreal construction giant is charged with corruption related to its dealings in Libya. It has actively and publicly sought a ``remediation agreement,'' akin to a plea-bargain, that would let the company as a whole avoid the risk of a conviction and ban from government contracts.

As the former attorney general, Wilson-Raybould has refused to comment on the allegation, citing solicitor-client privilege.

In her letter Tuesday, she said she has hired former Supreme Court justice Thomas Cromwell to advise her on ``the topics that I am legally permitted to discuss in this matter.''

Wilson-Raybould said she intends to continue

serving as the MP for the riding of Vancouver-Granville.

She remains a member of the Liberal caucus, where she apparently still has some friends. Just after Trudeau's news conference, Treasury Board President Jane Philpott tweeted about all the bills they'd worked on together and included a photograph of them on a boat with their arms around each other's shoulders. Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes shared Wilson-Raybould's resignation statement with an image of a clenched fist.

Wilson-Raybould's departure added fuel to opposition accusations of political interference in the justice system.

Her exit came less than 24 hours after Trudeau said he had ``full confidence'' in her and suggested she would have resigned from cabinet on

Trudeau says he`s surprised by Raybould resignation continued principle if she had felt anyone had tried to improperly pressure her.

On Tuesday, Trudeau said Wilson-Raybould's resignation was ``not consistent'' with conversations he had with her at the time of the cabinet shuffle in early January or over the past few days.

His office issued a terse statement that made no attempt to put any gloss on her departure from cabinet or to thank her for her service.

Wilson-Raybould informed the prime minister on Monday night of her intention to resign, the statement said. Trudeau informed the rest of his cabinet Tuesday morning about her decision and named Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to take over responsibility for the veterans-affairs portfolio.

In Fredericton, N.B., Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said Wilson-Raybould's resignation proves there's more to the SNC-Lavalin story than Trudeau has been letting on. ``Yesterday, he said that her presence (in cabinet) speaks for itself. Well, today, her resignation speaks for itself,'' Scheer said. ``Clearly, there is something more than he has been forthcoming with.''

Trudeau has repeatedly denied Wilson-Raybould was pressured to instruct

the director of public prosecutions to negotiate a remediation agreement with SNC-Lavalin.

The Trudeau government passed a law last year which allows for remediation agreements in cases of corporate corruption, wherein a company pays reparations but does not wind up with a criminal conviction.

Government insiders have said Wilson-Raybould was involved in internal discussions last fall about whether to instruct the director of public prosecutions to pursue remediation, as is allowed by law, but they've insisted those discussions were not tantamount to pressure.

Scheer called on Trudeau to waive solicitor-client privilege to allow Wilson-Raybould to speak freely on the matter. ``The longer he refuses to do this, the more guilty he appears to Canadians.''

Trudeau said he's asked David Lametti, who replaced Wilson-Raybould as justice minister and attorney general, to advise him about waiving solicitor-client privilege.

However, he said: ``There's a real danger _ and it's been flagged for me _ of unintended consequences, particularly because there are two court cases ongoing directly related to this matter that could be impacted by such a deci-

sion we might make.''

Trudeau noted that solicitor-client privilege would not have prevented Wilson-Raybould from coming to him last fall if she felt she was being improperly pressured.

Scheer also wrote to Trudeau, calling on him to ensure that all documents _ including ``memos, letters, emails, PINs, SMS messages and handwritten notes'' _ pertaining to the case are preserved.

Both Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called on the Liberals to support an opposition motion to have the House of Commons justice committee investigate the allegation that Wilson-Raybould was pressured. The committee is scheduled to consider the motion on Wednesday. ``Now more than ever, it is imperative that the Liberal government support the work of the justice committee that will be looking into whether there was illegal interference with the independent exercise of the former

attorney general's responsibilities,'' Singh said in a statement. ``If Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government shut the justice committee's work down, it would send a dangerous signal to Canadians about the state of our democracy.''

Liberals, who hold the majority on the committee, appear to be open to conducting an investigation. And on Monday, Trudeau said he welcomed news that federal ethics commissioner Mario Dion has initiated his own investigation into the matter, specifically whether there's been a violation of a Conflict of Interest Act provision that prohibits a public office holder from seeking to influence a decision so as to improperly further another person's private interests.

Wilson-Raybould had been Canada's first Indigenous justice minister and the face of Trudeau's commitment to make reconciliation his top priority.

Some Indigenous leaders have been highly crit-

Canadian PM Trudeau.

ical of Trudeau's decision to demote Wilson-Raybould and those criticisms escalated Tuesday.

Shortly before her resignation announcement, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs issued an open letter to Trudeau demanding that he publicly condemn ``the racist and sexist innuendo'' that's circulated about Wilson-Raybould since her demotion, suggesting that she's difficult to work with and not a team player.

Garrison Settee, grand chief of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Inc., a group representing 30 First Nations in northern Manitoba, echoed that sentiment. And he called Wilson-Raybould's resignation ``a significant

step backwards in our long-standing efforts to advance reconciliation.''

Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said in a statement that he was ``saddened'' by Wilson-Raybould's departure ``concerned about the many unanswered questions'' surrounding it, adding that this is ``echoed by many First Nations across the country.''

Trudeau said he understands that all Canadians ``rightfully'' have questions about Wilson-Raybould's resignation and he's doing his best to answer them, ``highlighting that for folks who are puzzled by Ms. Wilson-Raybould's decision to step down, they can add me to the list.''

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Bill Morneau says the ``enormously complicated'' effort to end all drinking-water advisories in First Nations communities isn't being held back by a shortage of money.

In response to a university student's question Thursday in Guelph, Ont., Morneau acknowledged that fulfilling the Liberals' 2015 campaign pledge has been a big challenge and won't be finished quickly. ``The idea that we have places in this country that don't have access to clean drinking water is just unacceptable in 21st-century Canada,'' Morneau said at the University of Guelph after being asked if he had considered diverting more money into the program. ``This is not something that we've looked at from a constrained-funding approach. Every dollar

that we need to spend in this to get it done we are spending. This has been a long-term challenge _ and the challenge is not only putting the money in to actually get the (water) systems up and running, but it's the ongoing maintenance.''

The Liberals have vowed to see all longterm water advisories on reserves lifted by March 2021 _ and they have committed about $2 billion over several years towards investments like water and wastewater infrastructure to get there.

The federal government says 78 advisories about potentially tainted water have been lifted since the Liberals took office in November 2015, but 62 remain in place.

Morneau said that beyond building new treatment systems and replacing old ones, the effort faces obstacles such as technician training, geography and climate-related issues like flooding.

``It's an enormously complicated challenge because it's not only about the investments, it's about the human talent, the people there to maintain it,'' he said. ``So, we're not only funding that investment. And we've been very successful in getting many of these boil-water advisories taken off, but there's been some that have come back on because of that challenge.''

In a December 2017 report, the parliamentary budget officer estimated it would cost the Liberal government at least $3.2 billion to make good on its promise to eliminate on-reserve water advisories.

The budget watchdog's estimate includes $1.2 billion to upgrade existing water and wastewater systems so that they meet safety standards. The other $2 billion, it said, will be needed to replace systems as they age and to meet the needs of growing populations on reserves.

Florida Hoop Dancer wins top world championship title Over 80 dancers from the U.S. and Canada competed at Heard Museum STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

PHOENIX, AZ – Cody Boettner (Creek) of South Daytona, Florida, captured his first adult title at the 29th Annual Heard Museum Hoop Dance Championship contest on Feb. 9 and 10. Boettner earned a spot in the finals after two preliminary rounds of competitions and took home the grand title and cash prize of $3,500. Boettner faced 21 of the best hoop dancers in the highly competitive Adult Division including past champions Nakotah LaRance (Hopi, Tewa, Assiniboine), Tyrese Jensen (Diné, Pima-Maricopa) and Tony Duncan (San Carlos Apache, Arikara, Hidasta).

Boettner has been part of the top ten hoop dancers for the past three years and came back this year prepared to win it all. With 234 points out of a possible 250, he secured his first title. The 27-year-old master of hoop dancing outshined the other contestants in precision, timing, rhythm, showmanship, creativeness and speed.

Tyrese Jensen, the 2017 champion, placed second in the Adult Division with 225 points and Sampson Sixkiller-Sinquah (Hopi, Pima, Cherokee) finished

in 3rd place with 217 points.

For the 28th consecutive year the Heard Museum has hosted the World Championship Hoop Dance contest, a competition that grows every year as dancers continue to refine and grow their routines integrating difficult manipulations of the hoops. This year, over 4,000 people came to support a roster of 81 hoop dancers from the U.S. and Canada that competed in this two-day event.

“The Heard Museum is honoured to welcome dancers and families from across North America to be part of such an extraordinary community and family-oriented event,” said David M. Roche, Heard Museum director and CEO. “This annual competition

is a true reunion for members of the hoop dancing community and we are honoured to be its host.”

The Teen Division was won by Nanabah Kadenehii (Diné) from Big Mountain, AZ. This was the third time that Ms. Kadenehii took the Teen Division title. The Senior Division title was taken by Lane Jensen (Diné, Maricopa) from Mesa, AZ. There were a record number of Youth competitors this year – 27 dancers in total. First place went to two-time Youth Division champion, Kailayne Jensen, (Diné, Maricopa), from Mesa, AZ. Jensen is the daughter of Senior Division Champion Lane Jensen and the sister of second place Adult Division winner, Tyrese Jensen.

Female and male con-

testants compete against one another in each age division. Two division categories were won by female contestants (Teen and Youth), and two of the five judges were female, including the first-ever female Adult Division Champion, Lisa Odjig (Ojibwe). Nearly half of all competitors were female.

The museum had 14 participants in the Tiny Tots division (age 0 to 6 years), which included a shared cash prize of $500 sponsored by Lightning Boy Foundation and the Duncan Family. The World Championship is split into five divisions — tiny tots (5 and younger), youth (6 to 12 years old), teen (13 to 17), adult (18 to 39) and senior (40 and up). Contestants are judged by a panel of five

The impromptu performance highlighted the reason the group was nominated, as the boundaries for nominations are highlighted as a “peer honour.”

When thinking about sports, the words that often come to mind are disci-pline and fitness, but those words only scratch the surface.

There is a lot that on-lookers don’t see in sports; including the countless hours each athlete spends at home in the backyard practicing on their own — simply because they love their sport.

Even the values that aren’t apparent but are often taught through organized sports can only be described by those that have experienced and learned them first hand.

Sitting down with Shaun General and his younger sister Alissa General to talk shop about their sport, hockey, allowed both young athletes to give an in-depth look at how the sport has helped to shape both of their lives, and themselves.

but are rather given by the coaching staff. As captain, S. General has since focused on main-taining the morale of his teammates, making sure each player is ready to work together and ensuring that the younger players moving into the league can make the transition. He does this by offering advice that comes from his own experience, and he will often tell some of his team-mates not be “so hard on themselves,” because he’s been in their posi-tions before.

an opportunity he might not have otherwise had without hockey. Af-ter his coaches hinted at and later put him into the role, S. General ex-plained that despite all of the responsibilities and effort required, it was welcomed.

“I wanted to come into the room and set an example and be a role model and I try to bring my best everyday,” he said. “[As for my goals], the sky is the limit.”

This led into the advice that he would offer to other young hockey play-ers.

February 13th, 2019

Using hockey on and off of the ice continued “Don’t be afraid to take risks,” he said. “I know a lot of kids are kind of afraid to move away from home and I would say that home is always go-ing to be here, so don’t be scared to branch out and explore your oppor-tunities.”

Along with visiting elementary schools in Brantford to read stories to young students and participating in skates with the W. Ross MacDonald School, S. General explained that the opportunities brought about by hockey have been abundant. “[Through hockey] I got to meet a lot of inspirational people and I got to see a lot of stuff,” he said, as he mentioned that he played for a national indigenous hockey team in British Columbia two years ago.

“I feel like hockey teaches you a lot of stuff about life in general. You learn a lot; taking responsibility, routine, showing up on time is another big one. It just teaches a lot of simple stuff that can make you more suc-cessful in life.”

Outside of the arena, he enjoys video games, hunting, basketball, fishing, and going to the gym and noted that hockey has contributed to an active lifestyle.

After graduating from Assumption College School in Brantford, he now has his sights set on Fanshawe College in London.

For A. General, she started skating when she was four.

“Then I started playing with the boys on Six Nations actually, when I was seven,” she said.

She hasn’t stopped since as she now plays for the Ancaster Avalanche, a top tier girls midget double ‘a’ hockey team. She has played on national teams including Team Ontario in Nova Scotia and most recently played in Winnipeg, but her goals reach even higher.

“Ever since I started playing hockey my goal was to be on the olympic team,” she said, noting that she looks up to Brigette Lacquette, the first female indigenous hockey player to play on Canada’s Olympic Women’s Hockey Team from the Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan.

During the ‘Hit the Ice” hockey camp, the best

young female indigenous hockey players from Canada including A. General, came together for twoweeks and Lacquette was one of her coaches.

She was interviewed by APTN for Hit the Ice show series that will be aired sometime this summer.

“It was really cool and I got to meet girls from all across Canada,” she said.

But among the opportunities to travel and make friendships along the way, A. General explained that the sport itself gave her a real under-standing of how to work for something. “[I learned just] how much hard work I had to put in to be successful and to win. It’s not something that’s handed to you, you have to work for it,” she said, leading into her advice to other young girls looking to go somewhere with hockey.

“I’d say that for girls it’s a bit more difficult for you to get places,” she said.

“You’ll run into bumps on the road, but just don’t give up on yourself and keep working hard and good things will come to you.”

A. General has visited Boston, Massachusetts, and Detroit, Michigan to play, but besides travelling and reaching the goals she has set for her-self, she noted that hockey has helped her in another way that some might not realize.

“I was really shy,” she said. “And now that I’ve met all of these different girls and talked to different people, it’s made it easier for me to talk to anyone really. Even other coaches when they approach me.

So it’s defi-nitely helped me in that way.”

Being put in active social situations is listed as one of the top benefits of organized sports.

A. General enjoys other sports outside of hockey, and spends a lot of her free time with family and friends. She will be going to the North-West Ter-ritories with Team Ontario again this year, and looks forward to the fu-ture after she graduates St. Johns College: a high school in Brantford.

Both siblings are two of the only indigenous youth on their current teams.

Steelhawks get Sniped out in ALL action CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Last week, the Snipers were just a few goals off during their games versus the Paris RiverWolves and the Oshawa Outlaws, with scores that were extremely close.

This week, however, the Snipers were able to redeem themselves against the Whitby Steelhawks with a five goal lead.

Mike Mclaughlin was the first to score with help from Tyler Brown and Ian Martin seconds into the first period. After one return by the Steelhawks, Mclaughlin went on to score his second unassisted. Next to score was Wesley Whitlow for his first from Wayne Vanevery and Jake Bomberry, while Tyler Brown buried his

first from Ian Martin and Brent Longboat. Moments later Jake Bomberry took it to the rack with help from Kobe Whitcomb and Josh Miller.

The Steelhawks were getting pummelled without much push back during this period, as they could only muster three more goals to help quench the deficit. But Josh Miller buried from Wayne Vanevery and Danton Miller while Wes Whitlow put away two more for a hattrick. While powerhouse Ian Martin earned his first with a feed Daris Anderson from Wayne Vanevery,

fishing the period 9-4.

The Steelhawks came back to the floor for the second period ready to take some dents out of the scoreboard as they fired away five consecutive goals in the first five minutes. This brought out a 9-9 tie with ten minutes remaining. After racking up assists in the first period, Wayne Vanevery scored from Wes Whitlow and Pierce Abrams, while Patrick Corbett caught a long pass from goaltender Dustin Hill and buried at the other end. To finalize the period with a solid lead, Wes Whitlow earned his fourth goal from Patrick Corbett and Jake Bomberry, making the game 9-12.

The third period left scoring out of the question for the Steelhawks, while the Snipers scored just one through Brent Longboat with help from

Lyle Hill and Tyler Brown.

The fourth period allows Danton Miller and Kobe Whitcomb to answer two goals, as the Steelhawks opened scoring with one. Maintaining a long lead the Snipers kept ahead, as Wayne VanEvery scored his sec-ond. But controlling the end of the game was simple for the snipers, as Ashton Jacobs buried with 17 seconds remaining. This closed the brawl 17-13 for the Snipers.

Wesley Whitlow was recognized as a top player for this game as he racked up four goals and two assists, while goaltender Dustin Hill was noted for his hard work in net and increasing save average.

The Snipers next home game versus the Toronto Monarchs is scheduled for Sunday, February 17 at the ILA for 1 p.m..

Lady Snipers pummel Steelhawks, miss shocking the Shockwave CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — A full day of senior women’s lacrosse was hosted at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena this past Saturday for week 3 of the Arena Lacrosse Leagues women’s division.

Since last year, the league has grown from three original teams to now four, including the Six Nations Lady Snipers, the Paris RiverWolves, the St. Catharines Shockwave and the new Whitby Steelhawks.

During week one, the standings were chosen as the Snipers paired up with the RiverWolves, taking a loss 5-8, while the Shockwave took on the Steelhawks and came out with their first victory 5-0. The RiverWolves then battled it out with the Shockwave and earned their second win 5-4, while the Snipers walloped the Steelhawks 12-0.

Unfortunately, the match ups for week two were cancelled due to inclement weather, but week three was raring to go as the RiverWolves took the top spot undefeated, with the Snipers right behind them and the

Shockwave closely following with the Steelhawks.

The first game brought the RiverWolves to the Steelhawks, who have improved since their last round of games with a few new players. The game was slow and steady, with experienced players for Paris taking their time and organizing plays and break outs. While the Steelhawks were able to answer two goals during this game, the

RiverWolves took the lead and kept it to finalize the match 8-2.

Looking to ring in a victory to maintain their second spot, the Snipers were later given a hard go with the Shockwave.

Early on scoring for St. Catharines by the crease created a lead that the Snipers couldn’t return, as some of their core scorers were noticeably missing.

The Shockwave sported several regular season

Attack players, including Lindsey Smith who scored in the second period.

While the only goal for the Snipers in this match went to Amber Hill with assists from Brianna Tremblay and Lauryn Hill. This ended the game 5-1, giving the Shockwave their first win versus the Snipers.

After giving so much during their game with the Snipers, the Shockwave didn’t have much left to give when they met with the top spot River-

Wolves for their second game of the day. This led to a huge lead being taken by the RiverWolves early on, and left the Shockwave unable to return. Switching in a newer and younger goalie also allowed for outside shots to find their way to the back of the net, and the RiverWolves came out on top 11-0.

This brought the Snipers having to play catch up in points, as the last game of the evening paired them up with the Steelhawks again. Although improved, their goaltender was finding difficulty in protecting the large senior net and the Snipers took full advantage.

Mekwan Tulpin buried two back to back goals, one unassisted and the other with one assist going to Lauryn Hill half way

into the first period. Quick to follow was a bury by Jadyn Bomberry from Janice William and another by Makenzie Bomberry from Hailee Johnson. To finalize the period, Brianna Tremblay scored twice from the inside, with assists going to J. William and H. Johnson.

In the second period, the Steelhawks were unable to hold onto the ball long enough to make an attempt on offence.

However, their defence was working well as they prevented any major scoring. The Snipers were only able to score once, with Tyra Skye earning her first from B. Tremblay and Amber Hill.

The third period kicked off with a goal hungry start, as Kenley Jacobs went to the net unassisted minutes into the period.

Moments later, Miranda VonHanke scored off of a pass from H. Johnson and M. Bomberry earned her second from H. Johnson, who worked at being a feeding machine from the top.

To finish off the period, J. Bomberry scored her second unassisted with only 23 seconds left.

The fourth period finalized the game with no further scoring, making the game 11-0 for the Snipers. This leaves the RiverWolves completely undefeated, while the Snipers rest ahead of the Shockwave only in goal points.

Week four is set to begin this coming Saturday at the ILA with games running from 3:30 - 7:30 p.m..
