Six Nations Development Corporation asks Confederacy Chiefs Council to lift cease and desist on Niargara Reinforcement Line Shutdown costs estimated to be half a million dollars to Six Nations NAHNDA GARLOW

OHSWEKEN — About 100 Six Nations community members attended a public meeting Tuesday evening, looking for details on why work at the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporations Niagara Reinforcement Line hydro project has been halted. On Sunday evening SN-

GRDC put out a statement saying they have effectively put the project on a hold after a copy of a cease and desist letter to Hydro One regarding the project was sent to them via email. “We are here today to publicly request the HCCC remove the cease and desist order on the project,” said Director of Communications Tabitha Curley.

Line’s consultation history. Six Nations Community members were invited to present their perspectives and questions on the way consultations were done. Several men and women rose to express frustrations that SNGRDC process of consultation did not gather enough voices to adequately represent the feelings and thoughts about the project. SNGRDC Board Chair Claudine VanEvery-Albert told TRT she is hopeful the SNGRDC and the HCCC can find a way to work together to complete the line. “I think that could happen,” said VanEvery-Albert. “I know that

if it doesn’t happen, for the corporation, that this community will lose a lot of money, millions.” SNGRDC estimated at the meeting that the costs of shutting down the line construction at $500,000 to date. That money, they say, will come from SNGRDC operating costs. VanEvery Albert says it’s not only about financial losses. It is her hope the community can find common ground for the sake of future generations. “I’m always hopeful. I strongly believe in this community. I said to the chief that it’s a venerable institution and it needs to be operational. I think we

are way stronger together than we are separate. That is up to us. Its been going on over a hundred years now and it’s up to us to work together in the best interest of — not only for the people that are here now but for our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren are the ones who are going to benefit from good financial planning. And it’s them we have to be concerned about.” Six Nations resident Colin Martin said he was asked by the Haudenosaunee Chiefs to bring a message from them to the community meeting which he read aloud.

read that the HCCC closed heated conversations with the SNGRDC at an HCCC meeting over the weekend after a wampum string fell to the floor. HCCC said in their statement the beads falling was seen as a bad omen and a tobacco burning ceremony was done afterwards. Men’s Fire representatives Wilf Davey, Bill Monture, Moe Sandy and Bob Frank told TRT that they believe the SNGRDC did not make a good deal financially on the NRL. They claim that the stipulation that the power line be “energized” relies on the transmission of power stemming from a power generator at Niagara Falls. This they say, is generated by virtue of a right to be compensated for use of that water source that belongs exclusively to the Haudenosaunee people. This they say, was not a term of the NRL settled by the SNGRDC’s Director Matt Jamieson. Jamieson told TRT that Aecon 6N workers at the NRL felt their physical safety was being threatened by the collective of men who shut down the work at the NRL at the end of January. Jamieson said workers were told if they did not halt work at the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

site that the men present would return with “men from all the territories” to forcibly halt construction. “The subcontractor that works for A6N, that company’s name is Thirau, they advised us that they did not want to come back to the job site unless there was a guarantee of safety.” Jamieson questioned the motives of the opposition of the NRL coming just two and a half weeks prior to its completion.

TRT confirmed HCCC halted work on the line and is seeking $250,000 and an engagement deal as part of the terms in order for the project to be completed. “The timing really raises a lot of questions as to what the motives are. Not being a party to the discussion that happens as a follow up to this stoppage, for us we’re sort of puzzled as to what are the motives, frankly. If it’s money that’s one thing but if it’s to displace our project and upset the deal

we have in place that’s another. Either way one must conclude that some of that motivation may be money. I wouldn’t say it’s direct extortion but it certainly doesn’t smell well.” Curley and Jamieson both said the public meeting was an opportunity for members of the SNGRDC to publicly ask for the cease and desist to be lifted. HCCC did not respond to requests by TRT for comment or feedback on this issue.

TWO ROW TIMES

SASKATOON _ The University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon plans to offer a certificate in the study of Indigenous storytelling. Prof. Robert Alexander Innes, head of the Indigenous studies department, says students will be able to learn about the different ways in which Aboriginal stories have been told and recorded in writing,

film and new media. The English and drama departments will also be involved. The university says requirements for the certificate will include first-year courses, a core second-year course and selected studies offered by the three departments. Innes says it was a good opportunity to bring the departments together so that students can choose from multiple courses that fit the theme of Indigenous storytelling.

The program is to start this fall and registration will begin in the coming weeks. Innes says the program will provide students with different ways to look at Indigenous storytelling. ``Whether it's traditional stories, novels, poems, plays _ have some cross-fertilization ... (to) provide them with a greater exposure to the various ways Indigenous people tell stories,'' he said.

Skyler Williams wins by decision in Toronto

Racist plaque removed YARMOUTH — A Maine town has removed a 90-year-old cemetery plaque that referred to Native Americans as ``savage enemies.'' Yarmouth Town Manager Nat Tupper says the historical marker was brought to his attention by residents who were preparing to make a presentation of the documentary ``Dawnland'' at the local library. Tupper says the residents felt the marker was inconsistent with today's values, and it was re-

moved from the cemetery Feb. 7. Katie Worthing of the Yarmouth Historical Society says the sign will be archived for educational purposes. Maria Girouard with a Wabanaki advocacy group says there are other signs with similar language around the state. Girouard says that type of signage perpetuates stereotypes of violence, and she hopes other places will be inspired to remove it.

Minor hockey team criticized for mocking Indigenous culture forfeits season FORT MCMURRAY — Parents of Fort McMurray minor hockey players whose team was criticized for an Indigenous locker-room dance captured in a viral video say they're forfeiting the rest of the season due to safety concerns. ``We as parents are saddened for our children, as the rest of the season was compromised, and they couldn't play the game they love due to fear from threats, anxiety and humiliation,'' said a statement posted this week on Facebook. ``Since this incident occurred, we as parents are left to pick up the pieces, restore our children's reputations and try to salvage the rest of the year in the face of such adversity.'' The video in January showed a boy beating his hockey stick against a trash-can lid as he and others jumped around and shouted to a song by Indig-

enous electronic group A Tribe Called Red. Shortly after, the Fort McMurray Minor Hockey Association apologized and called the actions by members of the Midget A Junior Oil Barons disrespectful. ``It is wrong and will not be tolerated,'' the association said in a statement at the time. ``The display of ignorance is sad and gravely unfortunate.'' The parents say some kids shown in the video are Indigenous and the dance was meant to be motivational, not derogatory or racist. Parent Shane Kearney said some people viewing the video may have assumed all the boys are white because many dyed their hair blond in support of a teammate's mother who has cancer. The parents say the team has been threatened verbally and on social media, so they decided it was

too dangerous to finish the season. ``One of the comments made was 'I hope that the next semi that collides with a bus is your guys' hockey team,''' said Kearney. Sixteen people died and thirteen were injured last April when a semi-truck collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team in rural Saskatchewan. ``As a 15-16 year old, how do you deal with something like that? As parents, how do you deal with somebody making a comment like that towards your child.'' Another parent, Roxanne Janes, said there have been social media posts identifying the team members and noting the times and locations of their games. The forfeiture means the team had to pay a $2,100 penalty to the league.

There are six games left in the season. The hockey association did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. The parents say they've had ``radio silence'' since they expressed concern over the hockey association's statement criticizing their children. ``Those adults need to put out a public apology for how they mishandled this situation,'' said Kearney. Janes said she still loves Fort McMurray's minor hockey community. ``The adults that were involved in writing, releasing this statement that condemned all of our kids _ those are who we need to hold accountable for these actions,'' she said. ``But for Fort McMurray minor hockey _ we are a family. We have amazing coaches, managers, players.''

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Finding common ground a priority Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation, known colloquially on Six Nations as “the Dev Corp”, held a public meeting/press conference at the Six Nations Community Hall to publicly request that the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council, known as the HCCC, remove a cease and desist notice on the Niagara Reinforcement Line, known as the NRL. HCCC did not attend, a fact noted by community members who did show up, wanting answers about what is going on with the NRL. Instead a written notice was read aloud by Colin Martin, a Six Nations man who says he was tasked by the HCCC to deliver the message and confirmed to TRT he was part of the initial delegation who went to the NRL site to shut down construction in January. The letter, which we have printed in its entirety in this week’s issue of the TRT, is shocking. The official statement bears several spelling errors, including the word ‘Haudenosaune’, the use of the character ’n’ in place of the word ‘and’ — as well as a slew of incendiary allegations the indigenous men and women who sit on the Elected Council are “pushing Canada’s agenda of division and colonialism.” But perhaps the most concerning part of the letter was in the first few paragraphs. In it, the HCCC says that discussions about the NRL with the Dev Corp became tense and that “as a result of the heated discussion” a string of wampum that represents the families of Six Nations fell to the floor. The letter gives no evidence as to how the wampum fell to the floor or how the heated discussions caused the beads to fall.

Letters to the Editor

In their statement the HCCC goes on to say that the chiefs and clan mothers “immediately decided it to be a bad omen n shut down further discussion on the issue.” A person was then selected to burn tobacco and pray to ask that nothing bad happens because of that “bad omen.” Not every band member at Six Nations believes in the Haudenosaunee traditional government. Some feel they were prevented from knowing traditional ways because of colonialism. Others feel they have been excluded from traditions due to an injustice — negative experiences they’ve had at council meetings or longhouse ceremonies — a sad fact we as community members don’t like to talk about in public. Likewise, other families have longstanding connections to Christianity and church culture, a tradition that stems from the Mohawks and Such Others following Joseph Brant and settling at Six Nations to begin with. While there is representation in the community that would agree the string of wampum falling to the floor during this moment is a bad sign, there are others who would just assume it was a happenstance. Cancelling conversations between the HCCC and the Dev Corp because some beads fell on the ground, no matter how sacred one holds them to be, is not a sufficient answer to the people of Six Nations for why the Confederacy system and the Elected system cannot find a place of common ground and peace. Especially if you are asking the people to trust you to govern.

RE: Actions of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation OSWE:GE GRAND RIVER TERRITORY:

The Roya’ner n Yakoya’ner of the Haudenosaune Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) met with Representatives from The Development Corporation at a duly convened Chiefs Council on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at the Onondaga Longhouse. The Development Corporation requested to be on the Council Agenda that day so that they could present who they are n what their mandate is. A heated discussion ensued between the Chiefs n the representatives of the Development Corporation. A result of this heated dialogue was the Chiefs Wampum, which represents the Fire, fell to floor from the bench upon which it was situated. The Roya’ner n Yokaya’ner immediately decided it to be a bad omen n shut down further discussion on the issue. A person was then selected to immediately burn tobacco to ask that nothing negative happens from the Fire falling to the floor. The HCCC is governed by the Kaianerenko:wa (Great Peace) and have been following our ways since time immemorial. The original

agreement, Treaties with settlers or as we refer to them as, “Our Brothers” were made by Hereditary Chiefs. The Development Corporation is an entity that has told just hat they are “Apolitical” and does not want to get involved into the politics of our Territory. This entity was developed by the Band Administration, which is an arm of the Canadian Government. The Band Administration continues to push Canada’s agenda of division and colonialism by creating entities such as the Development Corporation. The Royaner n Yakoya’ner are aware that the Development Corporation was created by the Band Administration after the HCCC created the Haudenosaune Development Institute. This was done with the obvious goal of undermining and taking away from the HCCC and the people. Further entities created by HDI were later copied and instituted by the Band Administration. In our eyes, the Development Corporation cannot claim “Apolitical” status when the deals they are making, deal with land and are based on the Collective Rights of the People. It has been unfortunately a regular occurrence where entities of the band administration have chosen to proceed with activities and developments by making decisions that are not inclusive of the People of Grand River. The proposed arrangement with Hydro One is another example of expediency trumping inclusiveness. Deals that are not inclusive of the People; nor has the Roya’ner n Yokaya’ner been consulted on Development Corporation activities.

The lands of our Territory falulnder the first point of the “8” Points of Jurisdiction held by the HCCC. The Development Corporation is operating under our Collective Rights, which is rightfully in the hands of the HCCC. The only reason they have decided to engage with the HCCC is because of the actions of our people in stopping the work of the Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL) AND bringing forth he awareness of the deal they have made, without the consultation and sanction of the HCCC. We are of the mind that the deal is all about money, which we recognize is a definite need in our Territory, but we have to wonder if they are just heading our people down the road into taxation or municipality status of Ontario. We learned of the deal made with Hydro One, not from the Development Corporation, but from an outside investment firm that we have now entered into an agreement with. We have not had any dialogue with the Development Corporation. Further, we are concerned about the Development Corporations intentions for our territory. It appears that the Corporation and the Elected Council are pushing for more division within our territory. The Roya’ner n Yokaya’ner look forward to creating more benefit from opportunities for the territory. We recognize the present situation has impacted valuable members of our territory and we are working with their best interests in mind to come to a resolution in a timely matter. We ask for your continued patience and understanding with this matter. Etho.

Indigenous researchers plant seeds of hope for health and climate Authors: Hannah Tait Neufeld, Assistant Professor of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, University of Guelph; Brittany Luby, Assistant Professor of History, University of Guelph, and Kim Anderson, Associate Professor of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, University of Guelph As we learn more about climate change, this knowledge can be paralyzing, especially for young people who are contemplating life pathways. Indigenous land-based learning offers an avenue for hope, embedded in action. This approach has been taken up in recent years by a number of post-secondary institutions in Canada and internationally. This is the focus of our work _ as mixed ancestry (Hannah), Anishinaabe (Brittany) and Metis (Kim) scholars at the University of Guelph in Ontario. According to Indigenous ways of knowing, we are only as healthy as our environments. And so our research addresses sustainable food practices that feed the well-being of ``all our relations:'' human, land, spirit. Using food as a starting point for action, we have launched a community-based research program _ to promote conver-

sations and opportunities across geographic and social spaces that forge and rekindle relationships focused on traditional foodways. This work starts with relationships, and it involves labour _ both of which are critical to Indigenous pedagogy. With Indigenous community partners, we engage social science, nutrition and engineering students in hands-on work in Indigenous food and medicine gardens and in manomin (wild rice) fields. This enables us to focus on time-honoured relationships in our homelands and university lands while preparing for the future. 'Green shoots that grow after a fire'

The relationship that Indigenous peoples have with the land encourages practices and traditions that perpetuate healthy families and communities. On- and off-reserve, momentum is building and communities want to be involved in building opportunities for learning and social interactions around food. In collaboration with other Indigenous faculty, students and a growing urban network, we have been working to expand gardens in the wider Grand River Territory and at the University of Guelph

- on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron people and the treaty lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We work together to strengthen land-based relationships and local food sovereignty. In an effort to address community needs in southwestern Ontario, our on-going research is designed to engage a diverse group of partners, collaborators and knowledge users. Garden sites have been established with the assistance of the local

together community agencies such as: the Grand River Metis Council, White Owl Native Ancestry Association and Global Youth Volunteer Network. Elder-led workshops on medicinal plants, and preservation methods have taken place throughout the four seasons. This project has strengthened inter-generational and inter-regional relationships. Using food as a starting point, conversations and opportunities for sharing allow people

"It's the land that brings us together, the land that teaches relationship-based ways of knowing about the natural world and its food systems."

Indigenous community at the University of Guelph Arboretum - to address food access and knowledge barriers and explore innovative land-based education and practices. Since the spring of 2018, a group of committed community members, faculty and students have planted and nurtured edible and medicinal plants. The gardens are known collectively as Wisahkotewinowak, which means ``green shoots that grow after a fire.'' The garden brings

to share their knowledge and to forge relationships with the land and each other. Histories of loss offer clues for regrowth

In some cases, however, environmental change has limited the ability of Elders to pass on traditional knowledge through hands-on activities such as planting and harvesting foods. Such is the case at Dalles 38C Indian Reserve from which Brittany's Anishinaabe ancestors

originate. Upstream and downstream dams control the flows into and out of the Winnipeg River which runs through the reserve. Water depths within manomin (wild rice) habitats have been altered by hydroelectric development and continue to be subject to fluctuations during the growing season that do not resemble the natural patterns to which manomin adapted. Discharges from upstream sources have also affected sediment and water quality. These sources include the community of Kenora and a pulp and paper mill which ceased operation in the 2000s. Researchers at the University of Guelph have partnered with the Economic Development Committee at Dalles 38C Indian Reserve to determine which factors are limiting the growth of manomin and to develop management strategies to control these factors. The traditional knowledge of Elders - shared through interviews and river tours - aids in understanding the historical relationship between water fluctuations, urban discharge and the growth of manomin. By combining traditional knowledge of manomin with more recent observations about riverine change, youth involved in the research can begin to

understand that histories of loss may, indeed, provide clues for regrowth. This changed lens results in a future-oriented view of the Winnipeg River that challenges the nature and duration of settler-industrial landscapes. Elder knowledge allows youth to envision compromised fields as productive Anishinaabe spaces. All our Relations

University research and teaching through projects like the Wisaktowinowak gardens and the manomin/wild rice project create new opportunities for youth and Elders to interact, both on campus _ by planting seeds _ and in Anishinaabe homelands through the revival of traditional harvesting. It's the land that brings us together, the land that teaches relationship-based ways of knowing about the natural world and its food systems. And with the increasing uptake of post-secondary land-based education, we may just change the way upcoming generations envision our environment and shape the future that unfolds on it.

Reconciliation outlasts Wilson Raybould: Indigenous senators CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — Indigenous parliamentarians say Jody Wilson-Raybould's controversial exit from the cabinet doesn't signal the end of reconciliation efforts between the federal government and Indigenous Peoples. But they say her departure is a sign of how much work there is still to do. `Èven though some will see this as a threat to the promise and process of reconciliation, it is not,'' eight Indigenous senators said in a written statement issued Thursday. `Ìt is a measure of the distance they have yet to go and the challenges we have yet to overcome. As long as Ms. Wilson-Raybould and other men and women like her gain and remain on the national scene and show the integrity we need to persevere on this journey, change will occur.'' The statement was drafted by independent Sen. Murray Sinclair, a former judge who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that examined the history of residential schools in Canada. It was signed by him and seven other Indigenous senators. An Indigenous Liberal MP offered a similar sentiment. `Ì think Jody resigning from cabinet is a huge loss ... for Indigenous communities right across the country,'' said Don Rusnak, who represents the Ontario riding of Thunder Bay-Rainy River and was the inaugural chair of the Liberals' Indigenous caucus. That said, Rusnak argued that no one person speaks for Indigenous communities, each of which is unique. ``Jody is one of those voices and one of those trusted voices but we have others and non-Indigenous people in our cabinet and in our caucus that speak with communities, have relationships with communities,'' he said in an interview. `Ì think, I know that the

prime minister is sincere in what he is trying to do and the work will continue.'' Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet Tuesday amid a furor over an allegation that the Prime Minister's Office improperly pressured her last fall to help Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution on corruption and bribery charges related to government contracts in Libya. Wilson-Raybould was justice minister and attorney general at the time but was demoted to veterans affairs in a January cabinet shuffle. The move wasn't explained at the time. On Thursday, Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather speculated in a radio interview that Trudeau might have wanted a justice minister who spoke better French because ``there's a lot of legal issues coming up in Quebec.'' Housefather chairs the House of Commons justice committee, which voted on Wednesday to take up an examination of Wilson-Raybould's departure, though a much more limited one than opposition members want. Wilson-Raybould made history when she became the first Indigenous justice minister back in 2015. She became a powerful symbol of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's assertion that there was no relationship more important to him than that with Indigenous Peoples. Some Indigenous leaders across the country have excoriated Trudeau for what they perceive as his shoddy treatment of Wilson-Raybould, which they assert proves his reconciliation agenda is a farce. But the Indigenous senators' statement is much more circumspect, praising Wilson-Raybould for her ``courage and leadership'' while not taking sides in the dispute between the former minister and Trudeau. Trudeau has said no one in his office improperly pressured Wilson-Raybould to instruct the director of public

prosecutions to negotiate a form of plea bargain with SNC-Lavalin, rather than pursue a prosecution that could wind up bankrupting the company. If Wilson-Raybould had felt pressured, he has said, she should have raised her concerns with him. Wilson-Raybould has so far given no reason for her resignation. She has cited solicitor-client privilege in refusing to comment on the allegation, levelled by anonymous sources in a Globe and Mail story last week. She has now hired a former Supreme Court justice, Thomas Cromwell, to advise her on what she may legally say. The senators used their statement to commend Wilson-Raybould for her accomplishments as justice minister, praising her ``personal strength of character, integrity and dedication to modernize the justice system and work towards reconciliation.'' Trudeau and his office have taken pains since Wilson-Raybould's departure to try to soothe the nerves of rattled Liberal backbenchers. Trudeau spoke to his MPs Tuesday evening by teleconference. According to MPs on the call, the prime minister assured them that there had been no wrongdoing. He acknowledged that there had been internal discussions about whether to intervene to halt the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin but said that was normal given the importance of the company and thousands of jobs at stake. Trudeau took no questions from MPs but, since then, staff in charge of the various regional desks in the PMO have been calling backbenchers to answer questions. Trudeau's principal secretary, Gerald Butts, has also been calling MPs. Privately, some Liberal backbenchers wonder how much longer Wilson-Raybould can continue to be a member of the Liberal caucus, given that she has apparently set herself at odds with the prime minister in what has become a huge political firestorm for the government in an election year.

Racketeering lawsuit by Dakota Access developer dismissed CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BISMARCK, ND — A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a $1 billion racketeering lawsuit that the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline filed against environmental groups and activists, say-

ing he found no evidence of a co-ordinated criminal enterprise. Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners sued Greenpeace, BankTrack and Earth First in August 2017, alleging the groups worked to undermine the $3.8 billion pipeline that's now shipping oil from North Dakota to Illinois. The company's

accusations included interfering with its business, facilitating crimes and acts of terrorism, inciting violence, targeting financial institutions that backed the project, and violating defamation and racketeering laws. The groups maintained the lawsuit was an attack on free speech. U.S. District Judge

Billy Roy Wilson last year dismissed Earth First and BankTrack as defendants, saying ETP had failed to make a case that Earth First is a structured entity that can be sued and that BankTrack's actions in imploring banks not to fund the pipeline did not amount to radical ecoterrorism. Wilson on Thurs-

day granted motions to dismiss from Greenpeace and individually-named defendants that the company added to the lawsuit last August. The judge said ETP's claim failed to establish several necessary elements required by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, including that the defendants worked together

on a criminal enterprise. ``Donating to people whose cause you support does not create a RICO enterprise,'' and ``posting articles written by people with similar beliefs does not create a RICO enterprise,'' Wilson wrote. Later in his ruling he added that ``acting in a manner similar to others, without any sort of agreement or understanding, does not make you part of a RICO enterprise.'' Greenpeace lauded the dismissal of what it said was an attempt by ETP to ``bully'' those who ``advocate for human rights and the planet.''

Women arrested for online comments given conditions OPASKWAYAK CREE NATION- Two Manitoba women arrested over online comments that threatened violence against Indigenous people have been given seven conditions following a mediation circle on a First Nation. The recommendations include sending handwritten apologies to news outlets, 80 hours of community service on a First Nation, and to attend a cultural awareness camp on residential schools. The two women were arrested on suspicion of uttering threats and public incitement of hatred after posts calling for ``shoot a Indian day'' and another suggesting a ``24-hour purge'' appeared on Facebook last summer. The comments were quickly condemned by many people and a hair salon in Flin Flon said one of the women who posted was no longer an employee. The women were never formally charged and instead took part in a meditation circle on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. In a news release, the First Nation says if the women don't accept the conditions they will be referred back to the criminal justice system.

of legislation, including a recently tabled bill on Indigenous languages and a proposed bill on child welfare. He also says he agrees with a statement issued Thursday by a group of Indigenous senators that Wilson-Raybould's departure is not a threat to the process of reconciliation but rather a measure of the distance left to go. Wilson-Raybould, a former AFN regional chief, announced her resignation from Trudeau's cabinet on Tuesday after The Globe and Mail reported she felt pressured to instruct the director of public prosecutions to negotiate a remediation agreement with Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. Bellegarde called Wilson-Raybould a ``trailblazer,'' adding she was nothing but hardworking, professional and strong during her time at the AFN.

OTTAWA — The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to press on with the process of reconciliation even after losing the lone Indigenous member of cabinet under a cloud of controversy. Perry Bellegarde says in an interview today that First Nation people have questions about Jody Wilson-Raybould's sudden departure from cabinet this week _ days after allegations emerged that officials in Trudeau's office leaned on her to help SNC-Lavalin bypass criminal prosecution. While there will a process to get answers for her departure through the House of Commons justice committee and ethics commissioner, Bellegarde says the Liberals must push critical pieces

TORONTO - From complex energy-sector investments to infrastructure projects and businesses, the increase of capital flowing into Canada's Indigenous communities represents a bright spot for the country's big banks. Deposit levels and loan demand in Indigenous communities are higher than ever, while projects seeking financing from banks have evolved, said Dale Sturges, Royal Bank of Canada's national director of Indigenous banking. ``The types of loans that we are being asked to support are much more complex and larger in size than they've ever been before,'' he said. RBC has seen total volume growth in loans and deposits within its commercial Indigenous segment of 18 per cent from December 2017 to December 2018, the bank added.

of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce have invested time and energy into the fast-growing segment, establishing on-reserve branches and dedicated business arms over the years. Capital and income in Indigenous communities have risen alongside the rise of land-claim settlements, bankers say. ``Typically, we would have seen maybe 10 years ago, loan requests to support infrastructure or small economic development projects within a community,'' said Sturges. ``And now, we would be seeing very substantial requests for loans... Building in the oil patch for example, a lot of activity that is related to the energy sector.'' The total amount of personal and business income within Canadian Indigenous communities totalled about $33 billion in 2016, nearly triple from $12 billion in 2001, said Brent

Gustavson School of Business who teaches entrepreneurship and Aboriginal economic development. ``If you just think of the purchasing power of Indigenous people and Indigenous businesses, it's really growing very fast,'' Mainprize said. ``A lot of things are driving the growth. One is that Indigenous people are getting back their rightful resources in a way that is enabling them to start to fully participate in the economic environment, in a way that probably hasn't been that easy in the past.'' Claims with the federal government are being settled at a ``much faster pace than ever before,'' said Sturges. But Indigenous communities are also negotiating leasehold agreements and impact benefit agreements which are also generating income, he added. In turn, the bank has seen ``quite significant'' growth on the deposit side among Indigenous groups

Another factor is an increase in procurement policies which prioritize sourcing services and supplies from Indigenous businesses, said Alicia Dubois, CIBC's market vice-president of Indigenous Markets. In turn, new Indigenous ventures are popping up to respond to the demand, she added. ``There's a recognition for large institutions, and that includes CIBC, that diversity within the supply chain makes for a very healthy robust economy,'' she said. ``Engaging Indigenous businesses as part of the supply chain is another means for there to be significant economic growth within the Indigenous economy.'' Indigenous communities have long expressed a desire to increase their economic participation, but it is only in the past few years that banks are seeing large proposals that are

Indigenous banking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 workable, Sturges said. One complicating factor involves the process banks use to lend to customers, which aren't easily applied in Indigenous communities. Most lending is asset-based, where a home or land is used as a loan's collateral. That works in parts of Canada where the Land Titles Act applies, but Indigenous communities are subject to land ownership rules under the Indian Act which do not allow

for the ability to borrow against their homes. Circumstances vary depending on whether communities are involved in treaty process or title cases, but in a band council system, an individual is typically provided housing from the band, said Mainprize. That may provide a certificate of ownership, but it doesn't allow the bank to take the title if the person defaults on their loan. ``That becomes problem-

atic. Even though you are living in a house? The bank doesn't necessarily have the authority to get control of that property if they need to. So that's really a challenge,'' said Mainprize. Given that 80 per cent of entrepreneurs tap into wealth associated with a home or property to fund their ventures, that inability to borrow against their home is a disadvantage, he said. ``Through our history,

February 20th, 2019

we made it impossible for Indigenous groups to actually have something they could pledge... That conspired against success from even being possible,'' Sturges said. As income starts to flow into these communities, Indigenous groups can now borrow against that income stream to tap more capital, he added. The 2017 purchase of a 49 per cent stake in a Suncor oilsands storage facility by Fort McKay First Nation and Mikisew Cree First

Nation for roughly $503 million is one recent example of the complex transactions being carried out. The financing for the deal was structured and marketed by RBC Capital Markets. Some of the projects Bank of Montreal bankers have worked on in Indigenous communities have included an entertainment centre in Membertou First Nation in Nova Scotia and a hotel in Port Hardy, B.C., said Stephen Fay, BMO's head of Indigenous banking in North America.

Forests Ontario and its partners are hosting a free workshop where landowners can learn about Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 Million Tree Program, tree planting techniques and other assistance programs.

``I don't think a lot of people understand that they're moving in the direction of the Canadian economy in terms of the diversity of what they do,'' he said. The bank's Indigenous unit has been growing at roughly 15 per cent annually, outpacing the rest of the bank, Fay added. BMO's Indigenous book of business is worth roughly $4.3 billion, up from roughly $500 million in 2000, not including retail banking. Now, the bank is eyeing prospects for its specialized banking services south of the border. ``There's going to be work done this year to land on our strategy ? And once we have a strategy and a policy in place, then we can start hiring people,'' Fay said. Meanwhile, RBC is bringing in different aspects of the bank to work with the division, such as capital markets, and CIBC recently added one more person to grow its team of Indigenous banking experts to 10, said Dubois. ``We're building as the need builds and we're definitely seeing growth,'' she said.

Hamilton's McMaster University appoints first Indigenous chancellor CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON — The first Indigenous person to be appointed as chancellor at Hamilton's McMaster University says she's proud of the school for being a leader in the reconciliation movement. Santee Smith, an Indigenous artist, dancer and choreographer who runs her own performance company, was named the next honorary leader of the university this week. ``My whole interest is in culture and connecting with like-minded people who are interested in bringing forward stories and narratives and positive changes for Indigenous people,'' she said. ``This is a step in a very positive direction to have an Indigenous person as a chancellor.'' Smith comes from the nearby Six Nations of the Grand River and will take up her position in November, while continuing with her regular workload.

``I've been involved in truth and reconciliation across the country and the educational calls to action, and people, including the ones at Mac, are doing just that _ taking action as opposed to leaving it at words,'' Smith said. Smith will be returning to the campus where she completed degrees in physical education and psychology before being drawn back into the arts. She has been involved with the school for many years through its Indigenous Studies Program and more recently with the Socrates Project, a meeting of scholars, artists and diverse communities to tackle difficult subjects. The school's president invited her to campus early in the new year, she said. She thought they were going to discuss the Socrates Project, but he asked her if she'd be interested in the position of chancellor, a role that involves presiding over convocations, sitting on various committees and being, in many ways, the public face of the school.

``I was very shocked,'' Smith said. ``For me it means being able to connect back to the campus and being someone perhaps other students can look to for inspiration or advice.'' McMaster president Patrick Deane said the entire McMaster community will learn from Smith. ``Santee is an inspirational choice, she is an accomplished artist, a seasoned leader and a passionate advocate,'' Deane said in a statement. McMaster University is the second Canadian institution in as many weeks to announce that its next chancellor will be an Indigenous person. Two weeks ago the University of Lethbridge announced that it was appointing its first Indigenous chancellor in the school's 52-year history. Charles Weaselhead, a residential school survivor and former chief of the Blood Tribe, will officially assume that title in the spring.

HOUSTON, BC — Coastal GasLink says it has suspended pipeline work south of Houston, B.C., while claims of the discovery of Indigenous artifacts on the site are investigated. The company says it has cordoned off the area, requested that a qualified archeologist visit the site and the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission will conduct another site visit to investigate the claims. It says an archeological impact assessment for the site was approved in 2016, but the company and its archeologists were not able to conduct on-site fieldwork during the regulatory and permitting process due to road access issues. In a statement,

Unist'ot'en clan spokeswoman Freda Huson says their members have been combing the company's construction site for a proposed man camp since heavy machinery turned up the forest floor. The statement says supporters recovered two stone tools on Wednesday and archeologists from the Smithsonian Institute estimate one dates back up to 3500 years. It says additional stone tools were observed and recorded but the scale and scope of the work requires assistance from professional archeologists. In an open letter with Huson, archeologists Chelsey Armstrong of the Smithsonian Institution and Ginevra Toniello of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation call for a review of the assessment and all permits granted to the company.

The newly found artifacts reveal that archeological heritage is clearly present and that any assessment should be conducted in consultation with the clan, says the letter addressed to the archeology branch of the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The Coastal GasLink pipeline would transport natural gas from northeastern British Columbia to LNG Canada's export terminal in Kitimat on the coast. In January, the area was the site of a blockade against the pipeline where police moved in and arrested 14 people. The company says it has approval to build the pipeline from First Nations along the pipeline, but some Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs say they haven't given their consent.

HALIFAX — On Saturday, February 16, Halifax's newest professional lacrosse team has revealed their name: the Thunderbirds. After making their first announcement in September, the name was unveiled at the Halifax Convention Centre and the team will be the National Lacrosse League's fifth Canadian franchise. Under the ownership of Curt Styres, the name of the Thunderbirds was chosen in recognition of the traditional indigenous spiritual figure that is a symbol of power, strength, and nobility, as well as the military connections in the Halifax region. The announcement was also launched with a traditional ceremony. “It was incredibly special to launch the Thunderbirds with traditional Mi’kmaq ceremony as our

people ritually began our matches ancestrally,” said Styres in an interview posted to the NLL website. “To continue the legacy of Indigenous sport and culture is personal to me and to see how this sport is being embraced here today in Mi’kmaki is overwhelming.” The entirety of the future team attended the announcement and the roster will be mainly made up of players from the Rochester Knighthawks, who are relocating to Halifax under Styres' leadership. This will include Cody Jamieson, who plans to be a member when they begin play next season. The team will begin playing during the 20192020 season at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax. Meanwhile, another expansion team based out of New York under the name Riptide is also planned for next season to play out of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y..

ALBANY, N.Y. — The 2017 NLL World Champion Georgia Swarm were proud to announce that Lyle and Miles Thompson are to be honoured by the state of New York in the People of New York exhibit which will stand in the East Wing of the State Capitol building in Albany, N.Y. New York for a full year. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the opening of the exhibit last Thursday and in addition to each wing showcasing the diversity of New York's population, the brothers will be featured in the wing dedicated to Indigenous people.

special to represent not only myself and my family, but my community and really to represent [University of] Albany, a program that's really done a lot for me,” said Lyle in a press release, who just recently reached his 300th NLL

point. "To look back on what it would mean to be in this exhibit, I think it represents a lot for Native people. It's a proud moment for me.” A life-size cutout of the brothers in their Georgia Swarm uniforms accom-

Competition rises in ALL Women’s Division RiverWolves, Shockwave, Snipers and Steelhawks engage in exciting matches at ILA CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — This past Saturday’s matches for the fourth week of the ALL Women’s Division at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena saw some standings changes: the Shockwave swapped the Snipers for second place, and the RiverWolves maintained their first place reign with the Steelhawks making an effort to move out of the bottom.

But the matches were a bit different this weekend. The Lady Snipers met with the Steelhawks to start the evening off and it was easy to forget that it wasn’t until the third week of games that the Steelhawks could bury some shots. Their roster has come to include a few extra legs and experience and it showed on the scoreboard. Rather than being nullified by the other teams as they have previously, the Steelhawks were able to return four goals and finish

the game versus the Snipers 4-11. Even for the third game of the day, they were able to return three goals to finalize their match with the Shockwave 3-10. The Shockwave however, were out to make some waves. Hosting several seasoned players from Six Nations, the Shockwave formerly rested in a comfortable third place position. But this week they came to go for the top ranked team. In a game of solid back and forth, the Shockwave shocked the RiverWolves

with a win 4-3 and then went on to defeat the Steelhawks by seven points. This brought their ranking from third to second. For the Snipers, they have only faced one match with the Shockwave and as the defending home champions of last season Women’s ALL Cup, their eyes are set upon beating the RiverWolves themselves. Stacked with skilled non-native players from across the board and backed by an experienced bench, the RiverWolves entered the first week with nothing but wins and have only suffered the sole loss to the Shockwave since. This made the match between the Snipers and RiverWolves a game of opportunity for both. The first period started what became a game of back and forth, with an unassisted goal off of the draw by B. Tremblay within minutes. This closed the scoring for the period, but in the second, the goal was returned by the River-

Wolves with a fully unassisted goal themselves. They then buried again, but both sides began to find themselves in the penalty box as the stakes for the game started to rise. After a lot of push back, the RiverWolves fought to keep their lead, but Mackenzie Bomberry landed an overhand outside shot over the shoulder of the RiverWolves tender Jaylyn Grierson. The RiverWolves returned it moments later however. But after several tries in minutes, Mia Martin also buried with a side arm two minutes later to tie the game. The third period had the RiverWolves coming back with a strong effort, as they racked up three goals, with two being unassisted, throughout the fifteen minutes. The Snipers were only

able to return one by Miranda VonHanke, who put in a lot of effort on defence and transition. This left them to play catch up in the fourth as the RiverWolves presided the game 4-6. Five minutes into the fourth, newcomer Wadatawi Bomberry buried with a side arm with help from Tremblay and Bomberry. From there on out the game grew sloppy on both sides, as pressure and anticipation seemed to rile players on both sides. Formerly clean passes were replaced by mistakes on offence while both teams relied heavily on defence to keep the game from swaying either way. With only seconds remaining and as the ball made its way to the other end, RiverWolves goaltender Grierson left her crease

to try for the ball in the corner. However, as a goalie can be treated like another player if they leave their crease, Bomberry took the opportunity to slam her into the boards with a legal cross check. However, with Griersons proximity to the boards, this resulted in a reckless endangerment call and a semi-line brawl as three RiverWolves players took to grabbing onto Bomberry and thrashing. As Snipers players ran to defend Bomberry, bodies were thrown and cages were grabbed, as officials took several minutes to regain control of the brawl and end the game without a handshake line. This finalized the match 5-6 for the RiverWolves, but may result in future retaliation and a fearsome rivalry between the two teams.

A rough match up between the Snipers and RiverWolves eventually ended in a partial line-brawl, as the two teams have become strong rivals. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

A true story of healing through lacrosse in ‘The Grizzlies’ Based on a true story, The Grizzlies is about the determination and resilience of a group of Inuit youth from a small Arctic community. CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY — The film ‘The Grizzlies’ was screened at the Calgary International Film Festival last September, and it tells the story of a group of adolescent Inuit students who turn to lacrosse as a way to cope with high rates of suicide in their community. The youth gain a powerful sense of pride and purpose through the sport of lacrosse, in this account of authentic tenacity, renewal, and inspiring resilience. The story begins in 1998, when first-time teacher Russ Sheppard moves north for a job at a school in Kugluktuk. Kugluktuk is a town that struggles with one of the highest suicide rates in North America. With no previous experience or knowledge of life in the north, Sheppard is surprised by and overwhelmed by the numer-

the students and together they form the Grizzlies lacrosse team. Through the sport, the youth find a vital outlet for their emotions and the team creates a sense of pride, kinship and purpose in themselves and each other. One of the film's producers the is originally from Kugluktuk, Stacey

Hawks have a rough start in series with Peach Kings CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

ANCASTER — The first head to head match up between the third place Hagersville Hawks and the second place Grimsby Peach Kings began on Monday, February 18 at the Niagara Junior C. Head Office. The starting period was promising, as the Hawks were the first and last to score for the full length of time as Ralph Taggart buried from Anthony Grigg and Tycie Cowan. However, Taggart was called for slashing and sat in for a too-many-men call minutes between. In the second, the Peach Kings seemed to do the same as the Hawks did in the first, as they returned the goal to tie the game and end the period 1-1. They also racked two penalties, one for hooking and the other for interference.

This gave both teams equal footing by the third. But the Hawks gave up the first goal of the period to a power play for the Peach Kings. This opened a series of consecutive goals by the Peach Kings, who racked up another two, making the game 4-1. Unnecessarily, the Peach Kings made the game outwardly aggressive. They earned a full six penalty minutes for infractions from high sticking to interference, and a game misconduct for checking from behind throughout the period. With forty seconds left, Luke Erauw scored from Hayden Smith and Adam Carusello, finalizing the game 2-4 for the Peach Kings. Their next home game will be Game 4, on Saturday February 24 in the Hagerville Arena at 7:30 p.m..

SIX NATIONS — Last Sunday, the Six Nations Snipers hosted the Toronto Monarchs at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. With the Snipers now sitting in the second to last spot in rankings and the Monarchs resting in second to first, the score was anticipated to be high for the Toronto based team. However, the Snipers maintained a slow and steady scoring throughout the game. The first period allowed the Monarchs two goals and no returns. While the second period started a series of back and forth with a goal for the Monarchs in between each: Justin Martin scored his first from Skye Sunday, then Josh Miller scored after another direct feed from Sunday. After the Monarchs answered, Tyler Brown went on to score two in a row with help from Sunday, tender Jake Lazore and Brent Longboat. This ended the second with a near tie 5-4. The third opened with a blitz from the Monarchs, as they put in the work for three subsequent goals that went completely unanswered. While the fourth period gave the Snipers the opportunity to push back, as within the first few minutes Martin put away his second from Longboat and Sunday, while Mike Mclaughlin snatched a pass from tender Jake Lazore to bury a quick one. This brought the game 8-6, and both sides called time outs within the last seconds. But the Monarchs went on to score their last while Tyler Brown scored a hat trick from Miller and Sunday. This ended the game 9-7, with the Snipers proving that they have the legs to climb in the league — they just have to do it.
