Recovered items shed light on daily life at residential school Friends and Neighbours lecture series shares findings from the ‘Mush Hole’

By Jonnica Hill BRANTFORD — Items recovered during extensive renovations now underway at the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School in Brantford are revealing more about what life may have been like as a student at the governmentand church-run facility.

Researchers say very few school-related items have been found among artifacts uncovered at the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School. “(Students) were not getting an education in terms of book learning, and it’s reflected in what you’re finding because most of these things are work-related not school-related,” said Woodland Cultural Centre’s Museum Education Department lead Tara Froman.

Some of the work-related artifacts found during the extensive renovations of the property include clothes pegs, a scrub brush, a screwdriver and other tools.

Froman was a guest lecturer along with Sarah Clarke of Archeological Research Associates during a lecture hosted in Brantford Wednesday, where over 50 people came to hear the pair present findings and stories about the history of the property.

“Behind the Walls & Under the Ground” is the fifth lecture of the 2018-2019 speaker series “Revealing

the Truth”, hosted by the grassroots group ‘Friends and Neighbours’. For the past three years, the group has aimed to educate the community about the Mohawk Institute in support of WCC’s ‘Save the Evidence’ campaign: a fundraising initiative to see the building restored to become a museum, dedicated to telling the story of one of Canada’s residential school era.

The Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School ran from 1828 to 1970. The building was burned down by students in 1903 and rebuilt the same year. Now, it is the only residential school building remaining in southern Ontario.

In 2008, a settlement agreement was reached between the federal government and former students of the residential school system. That agreement saw Ottawa earmark $2 billion in financial compensation for survivors and $60 million to establish the Truth and Reconciliation

Commission — a national investigation launched that summer to assess the impacts residential school had on Indigenous people in Canada.

In 2015, the TRC released its executive summary — concluding that Indigenous people endured a “cultural genocide”. The TRC then articulated 94 public calls to action for organizations and individual Canadians, in order to "redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation”.

“Like most Brantfordians, if not all, I had no idea what was really going on in the school,” said Lorna Stratton, a regular guest at the lecture series. “Once you know what the story is, you can’t just get over it.”

“There was a history that was never written, and now is the critical time to talk about the history,” said ‘Friends and Neighbours’ group member Mary-Lou Knechtel. “There is really a thirst for learning, but the

important thing is all communities get together.”

Restoration at WCC is now entering stage three and organizer Carly Gallant says the campaign is just $3 million away from its $16 million goal.

Froman told audience members that former students spent just three hours of in-class learning while the rest of the day was spent working. Farming was the main activity for male students, while females had domestic jobs such as cleaning and sewing. The students did not benefit from their labour, explained Clarke, as most produce was sold at local markets.

Students were often underfed, and regularly served a porridge-like meal, which earned the institute the nickname “Mush Hole”. Researchers said many of the artifacts found inside are believed to be items that children stole and hid, such as empty food containers.

Other items such as shoes, clothing, comic books, letters and toys were discovered behind walls and in a hidden fireplace. Froman said survivors have come forward, and remember making or using quilts that were later found behind a hidden wall.

Archeological assessments have been done on the centre’s property as well as land on the left side that is the proposed loca-

tion of the Mohawk Village Memorial Park. According to Clarke, thousands of artifacts from different time periods were found, including hair clips from recent years and pottery that predates the settlement of the Mohawk Village in 1789.

ARA also assessed the location and removal of the apple trees from the front yard, which were thought to mark burial sites. Clarke confirmed there were no human remains found under the trees or on any other part of the property.

“This isn’t necessarily an archeological assessment

at this point as much as it is using archeological methods to ground truth,” said Clarke.

Rick Hill, of the Woodland Cultural Centre, will speak to the experiences of survivors at the final ‘Friends and Neighbours’ lecture of the season on March 20 at Laurier Brantford.

Violence in Akwesasne following cannabis dispensary raid by Mohawk police NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

AKWESASNE/ST REGIS — Two raids in one month on a collectively owned cannabis dispensary on Akwesasne led members in support of the dispensary to clash with Mohawk police.

On Friday, early reports said the second raid of the Wild Flower Cannabis Dispensary led to the arrest and detainment of dispensary operators.

According to local reporting the dispensary is collectively owned by members of the Indian Way Longhouse who say they do not recognize Akwesasne’s elected leadership.

A standoff ensued following the arrests outside the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Services headquarters in St. Regis. Details on the nature of the charges and who was arrested were not made public.

Community members posted to Facebook a public call out for Mohawk people to come to police headquarters and demand the release of those arrested, calling them political prisoners.

According to a statement from the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service, officers were confronted by community members and a clash erupted at around 2:00 a.m. outside their offices resulting in two officers being injured and requiring medical attention.

The statement does not indicate if any of the protesters were injured. Facebook videos of the clash showed a woman, allegedly being pushed by a police cruiser down an icy street.

Community members also alleged on social media that protesters were sprayed with pepper spray.

These clashes eventually erupted into violence between protesters and police. While it is not clear who initiated the violence, the Cornwall Standard reported fistfights between police and residents eventually ended in some of the protesters being pepper sprayed.

One protester was reported to be armed with an aluminum baseball

These clashes follow jurisdictional tensions between the elected council and longhouse communities who have been at odds.

Police said in a statement that they received “an overwhelming amount of emails, messages and phone calls from community members thinking the police and commenting their efforts in addition to donations of food and coffee for the officers”.

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council issued a joint public statement on the incident and said, “Akwesasne has faced many challenges as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that the health and safety of the community remains a priority. At this time, we respectfully acknowledge the differing perspectives on this matter and encourage continued peaceful dialogue. Throughout this process, we continue to seek the assistance of all Akwesasneronon in promoting peace, harmony, and the working relationships we’ve proudly achieved in recent years.”

TYENDINAGA — First Nations Technical Institute (FNTI), a post-secondary school on the Tyendinaga Mohawk community at the Bay of Quinte launched a new feature on the school’s website, an interactive Indigenous Enrolment & Alumni Map. The map provides a visual representation of FNTI's Indigenous community reach and indicates which communities have FNTI alumni and current students in attendance.

“After 34 years of providing education to First Nation communities far and wide, we now have a tool to record our reach and engage people in a discussion about Indigenous post-secondary, said Suzanne Brant, President of FNTI. “The interactive map will promote discussion about FNTI’s Indigenous post-secondary history and our approach to community programming. It tells our story at a glance.”

The new feature allows prospective students to click on a location and

find information about that community, including whether there are alumni from that community, or the number of currently enrolled students.

“This mapping project illustrates our reciprocal relationship with learners, communities, and nations,” Brant said.

“Learning is healing and healing is learning. FNTI is delivering Indigenous education and our communities are becoming healthier, building capacity and opening doors to economic opportunities.”

FNTI’s First Peoples Aviation Technology program gets student applications from across

Canada. School officials say demand for this program is increasing student diversity to include Indigenous peoples of all backgrounds.

“Our new programming is in response to identified need. We listen and respond to requests from communities. Data collected informs our enrolment plan and defines programming and locations to deliver to,” Brant concluded.

Enrolments for the 2019-20 academic year are currently open. To see more about FNTI you can see their website at www. fnti.net.

Beloved water protector Josephine Mandamin dies

Annishnabe elder promoted ceremonial duty to care and pray for waterways NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WIKWEMIKONG FIRST NATION — Annishnabe water protector and activist Josephine Mandamin died Friday morning. She was 77 years old.

Starting in 2003, Mandamin led a movement of indigenous water protectors to carry out a series of ceremonial water walks along the perimeters of waterways across Turtle Island. These water walks engaged indigenous women to connecting the people with and pray for the water, which Mandamin taught was a traditional responsibility given to women and grandmothers. Mandamin also engaged the public in the water walks — raising awareness of pollution increasing on indigenous waterways.

Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, Carolyn Bennett, marked the passing of Mandamin, calling her a role model, Badanai Motors Ltd.

teacher and advocate.

"Known as Grandmother Water Walker or Grandmother Josephine, she devoted her life to raising awareness of the connection water has with all living things. She taught all of us of the fragility of water, and the risks that exist to the health and sustainability of our waterways.

The important work she started through Mother Earth Water Walk and the Great Lakes Guardians' Council lays the foundation for the future of the Great Lakes Waterways, and for the next seven generations of water walkers and water warriors from across Turtle Island.

She has touched many of our lives and we are truly grateful to have gained knowledge and wisdom from this inspirational woman and her life's work.”

The Chiefs of Ontario also offered condolences on Mandamin’s passing.

Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald issued a statement.

“Josephine, known as a tireless advocate and Water Walker, dedicated her life to the protection and preservation of the Great Lakes and surrounding waters, while raising awareness that water is not only sacred, but also our lifeline. Josephine will be fondly remembered for her warmth, generosity, knowledge and greatly missed amongst many,” said Archibald.

Mandamin walked more than 17,000 kilometres around Turtle Island’s Great Lakes and other waterways in an effort to raise awareness about the human responsibility piece of respecting water.

Mandamin received the Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Award for Excellence in Conservation in 2016. She also played a key role is establishing the Great Lakes Protection Act during her time as Chief Commissioner of the Anishinabek Nation Women’s Water Commission.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends

of Josephine Mandamin and the community of Wiikwemkoong First Nation. Josephine’s work as a Water Protector is world-renowned and her remarkable journey and contributions to the renewal, rebirth and regrowth of our waters will be remembered for years to come,” said Regional Chief Archibald. “Josephine has left behind a significant space in the movement for the protection of our water. I encourage us to stand together during this time and continue her important work and move forward her vision of protecting and maintaining the Nibi to ensure a better future for our next generations. We will cherish the memory of Josephine and we wish her well on her journey to the spirit world.”

Funeral services were held in Mandamin’s home community of Wikwemikong on Monday.

Editorial: Overcoming lateral violence on Six Nations

By Jonathan Garlow Last week I received my quarterly SOCAN payment of $3.72 for I'm A Lucky One — a song I wrote and produced in 2002.

Although we lost money and it cost us everything, Tru Rez Crew was a thing and I was in the midst of it all as lead producer.

That was nearly 20 years ago. Now, as I look back it was pretty amazing. I was young, barely twenty years old, and without a mentor to guide me.

We had inspiration and no money. Despite this truth, Tru Rez Crew won two music awards in 2003. We were one of two indigenous hip hop groups in all of Canada and the awards got our name out there nationally. Tru Rez Crew started to get booked for performances.

Our Six Nations squad got the chance to experience the spectrum of indigenous life in Canada — from the most remote fly-in northern reserves to the busy urban indigenous communities in Winnipeg and Toronto.

Indigenous life is often marked with grief and trauma, and I had a damaged world view — an angry one.

My first friend on this earth took his own life when I was only four years old. His name was Sonny and he hung himself when he was six. I still remem-

ber him.

After that I started elementary school on Six Nations and surviving S.S. #8 was like running the gauntlet on a daily basis.

No one was safe. The principal was violent — eventually fired after breaking a students arm. His toxic leadership poisoned us as children, teaching us to hurt each other.

Intense bullying eventually translated into self-hatred. As a teenager I battled suicidal thoughts constantly. I became addicted to partying and alcohol as a coping mechanism. I threw myself wholeheartedly into the abyss.

Travelling to other reserves might have been the first time I ever felt accepted by other indigenous people.

In other communities I was able to receive love for who I was but at home struggled with my identity.

Travelling afar and returning home changed my perspective. I quit drinking and started on a different path — to accept myself and my home.

Today, that acceptance is blossoming into some kind of love.

Learning how to love myself has empowered me to fall in love with Six Nations, and I do it over and over again. I love everything about Six Nay — the joys and hurts, the ups and the downs. We are simply the best and we deserve

way more as a people.

Anyone who knows me personally would attest that I generally like everybody.

Sadly, not everyone has embraced me.

The struggles I endured to love myself and my community is part of why it hurts so deeply when lateral violence resurfaces.

In 2015, the community gossip and rumours got out of control after the director of the Haudenosaunee Chiefs Council’s development corporation, the Haudenosaunee Development Institute, gave a whirlwind speech at the Onondaga longhouse.

The director presented a false narrative — claiming the Two Row Times is part of a plot to bring

down the Confederacy. That is not true. We believe in the Peacemaker’s Kayanerenkó:wa that clearly says the people are the Confederacy — and not just an elite few.

In 2014 two condoled clan mothers gave the Two Row Times internal documents of HDI which they wanted us to investigate.

We published discoveries and those investigations disrupted HDI when it uncovered the Haudenosaunee Chiefs Council had incorporated in a scheme that combined interests with the 50 titles under the circle wampum into a numbered company and presumably waived the benefits of sovereign immunity on behalf of all Haudenosaunee people.

There is a lie spread by gossip that the Two Row Times is the Band Council newspaper. That is not true.

We believe that every person on Six Nations is entitled to their own views and that all Haudenosaunee people should be free to choose a path.

We also recognize that hierarchy is a foreign system. According to our ancestors, “we are all the same height.”

The Confederacy is supposed to be a peaceful collective of 49 clan families bound together in a sacred covenant — not an adventure in capitalism.

We are thankful for the advertising revenue and support from Elected Council and look forward to a day when HCCC advertises with us as well which they should.

The Two Row Times believes in fairness.

There is a lie spread by gossip that the Two Row Times is secretly owned by millionaires who influence our editorial voice and tell us what to write. That is not true. We are not politically influenced by hidden agendas.

Yes, our newspaper is free but the free newspaper business model was chosen for marketability, not because we have tons of money to throw away.

There are three major newspapers in the U.K. - Metro, Daily Mail, and the Telegraph. The free

one (Metro) is the most profitable.

However, this free model also means that we don’t qualify for federal or provincial grants offered to aid other publishers.

Our revenue is 100% from our advertising.

Yes, we have given away thousands of dollars in TV's and prizes. That was done for the community through the generosity of the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation and not from our own pockets.

Every week I am thankful for every business big and small who has made the decision to advertise with us. Your financial support has paid the bills and allows us to keep going. Take a look at the masthead below. Each person listed there and our families are deeply grateful for your support.

Please remember that the Two Row Times is an organic business not an institution or government.

We face the same struggles all on-reserve businesses do.

My wife, and TRT editor Nahnda and I are proud parents of four daughters; Miakun, Mahalia, Clara Bluesky, and Amira. Our Garlow family is very thankful for your readership and support. Without you this newspaper could not continue.

Thousands support Open Letter to Reinstate Indigenous Culture Fund To Premier Doug Ford and the Ontario PC Party, In 2008, your Federal predecessor, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, stood before the House of Commons and under the eyes of fellow MPs from all parties and Canadians watching from coast to coast, delivered a long awaited apology, on behalf of Canadians, for the Indian Residential Schools system. Former Prime Minister Harper prefaced his speech as a “sad chapter in our history.” In his apology, Mr. Harper stated: “two primary objectives of the residential school system were to remove and isolate children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture. These objectives were based on the assumption Aboriginal cultures and spiritual beliefs were inferior and unequal. Indeed, some sought, as it was infamously said, ‘to kill the Indian in the child’. Today, we recognize that this policy of assimilation was wrong, has caused great harm, and has no place in our country.” he continued, “The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Indian Residential Schools policy were profoundly negative and that this policy has had a lasting and damaging impact on Aboriginal culture, heritage and language [...] The burden of this experience has been on your shoulders for far too long. The burden is properly ours as a Government, and as a country. [...]

You have been working on recovering from this experience for a long time and in a very real sense, we are now joining you on this journey.”

Mr. Ford, we do not see the Ontario Conservative Party joining us on this journey. In fact, we see the Ontario Government willingly turning away from it and the hard work put forth by our communities to rebuild after the Indian Residential School legacy and other harmful policies. Indigenous communities have undergone decades of systematic

destruction of culture and languages enacted and enforced through government legislation. The wide scope of the Indigenous Culture Fund (ICF) allowed for a multiplicity of Indigenous-led initiatives

programming which best responds to it. In its short existence, the Indigenous Culture fund was changing lives. Language learning and cultural reclamation are powerful steps towards empowerment and

“

We are concerned the Ontario PC government does not realize what it is they have cut and, we fear, are looking to completely dismantle.

with a shared objective of reclaiming, preserving and revitalizing culture while repairing damages inflicted upon these communities.

Though administered by the Ontario Arts Council, the Indigenous Culture Fund is separate and not focussed on art or arts projects; the ICF funds cultural projects designed to revitalize Indigenous communities, connect youth and elders, and reclaim Indigenous knowledge systems and languages. In the community of Nipissing First Nation, the ICF is funding a project which teaches community members about traditional harvesting, foraging and gardening methods - a project which not only engages our community in Anishinaabe ways of being, but also addresses issues of food security. This is just one of many unique and necessary projects funded by the ICF, the scope of possibility for meaningful programming the fund could provide is limitless.

Mr. Ford, this fund directly addresses Stephen Harpers assertion that “we are now joining you on this journey” towards recovery AND the subsequent Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.

The Indigenous Culture fund was designed by Indigenous communities for Indigenous communities through an extensive consultation process. It allows Indigenous communities to identify their own needs and create

healing. Over a million Indigenous Canadians today can not speak their languages because their parents or grandparents were prevented by force from speaking theirs.

Within each language are embedded our worldviews, our histories, our laws. They are who we are.

The Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Michael Tibollo, has responded to our letters of concern by providing us with a list of other Ontario “Indigenous” funding initiatives, but none of those programs respond to community need in the way in which the ICF does.

Mr. Tibollo’s list includes Indigenous arts grants and funding for Indigenous museums - but the Indigenous Culture Fund isn’t about the arts or curation. His list includes the Ontario Cultural Attractions fund and Indigenous Tourism Ontario - but those programs have nothing to do with Indigenous community initiatives to maintain and revitalize our knowledges and languages, in fact, those initiatives are meant for Ontario to promote its own tourism industry. Our culture should be worth more to Ontario than just a tourist commodity.

Finally, Mr. Tibollo referenced the Trillium Grant a fund the PC government also recently slashed by $15 million dollars. The Trillium Grant is also not earmarked for Indigenous people and with a smaller pot, our chances of access-

ing those funds dwindles.

We are concerned the Ontario PC government does not realize what it is they have cut and, we fear, are looking to completely dismantle. None of the other funding programs forwarded by Minister Tibollo, nor the upcoming Indigenous economic initiatives cited by Minister Rickford on February 19th address community need in the way the ICF does. Not one of these cited grants or programs fund learning of Indigenous cultural practices or languages.

The Ontario Government’s cuts come at a time as the rest of the world enters the “International Year of Indigenous Languages” as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly. To that end, the Indigenous Culture Fund can be seen as

Ontario’s commitment to upholding many articles outlined within the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) including articles: 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 & 31. Of these, we’d like to draw your attention to Article 13 (1) “Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures,” and Article 11 (1) “Indigenous peoples have the right to practise and revitalize their cultural traditions and customs.

This includes the right to maintain, protect, and develop the past, present and future manifestations of their cultures,”. 11 (2) “states shall provide redress through effective

mechanisms…”

The scope of potential projects promoting cultural continuity for Indigenous communities is limitless, yet the fund is being cut preemptively before Indigenous communities or the Ontario Government has had a chance to fully realize the merits of the program or what could be achieved.

We MUST be given the opportunity to determine our own paths to (re) connect with culture and languages and in doing so we expand the potential for our future generations.

We ask that the Ontario PC government support Indigenous knowledge, Indigenous languages, our culture, our people and our futures by reinstating the Indigenous Culture Fund in full.

Inuit designers from the far North collaborate with Canada goose

By Chezney Martin with notes from CG Inuit seamstresses revealed bespoke jackets that they designed for Project Atigi in collaboration with Toronto-based Canada Goose, the manufacturer of some of the highest quality arctic jackets.

The word “atigi” means “parka” in Inuktitut, and

the word became the name of the project that sought to bring together 14 Inuit seamstresses to create one-of-a-kind parkas.

“We are the only global Canadian luxury brand and for us to be collaborating with the Inuit—the original parka makers—is really powerful,” said Dani Reiss, the president and CEO of Canada Goose, to

Fashion Magazine. “To be able to use our global platform to showcase their products and craftsmanship, which they’ve had for generations, is really important. Hopefully it’s just the beginning and we can create opportunities for these women,” as she looks at Project Atigi as the ultimate example of social entrepreneurship.

The 14 women named along with photos of their work included Meeka Atagootak, Rebecca Killiktee, Winnifred Nungak, Kristy King, Eileen Arragutainaq, Chantelle Anderson, Jackie King, Donna Dicker, Jennifer Munick, Freda Raddi, Marlene Watson, Mishael Gordon, Martha Munick and Chantelle Kablutsiak.

The seamstresses rep-

These beautiful inuit parkas were made in collaboration with Canada Goose.

resent nine communities from across four Inuit regions: Nunavut, Nunavik, Inuvialuit and Nunutsiavut and they incorporated pieces of themselves and their culture within their creations.

Watson, in particular, added “ulus” to her parka.

An ulu is a traditional Inuit knife, which is short-handled and moulded to fit a broad and crescent-shaped blade, typically used for separating flesh from bone and hide.

One of the other great aspects of the project included that Canada Goose developed the exclusive collection to create entrepreneurship opportunities for the women, and all of the proceeds from the sale of their creations will go to Inuit communities through the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), which is the national Inuit representational organization that works with the four Inuit regions.

Majority of the designs used in the collection came from traditional or familial designs that each of the seamstresses have carried from generation to generation, making the project completely unique in the sense that each piece has a story.

Many of the seamstresses noted that their mothers and grandmothers were inspirations to them, while others put down their sewing needles for moments only to pick them up again when their daughters wanted to learn.

Some of their stories also include sisters and aunts and having the responsibility to help young girls see the importance of learning traditional skills, which makes the project all the more familial and communal.

The Project Atigi collection will be showcased in Canada Goose stores around the world and will be available for purchase on canadagoose.com.

Indigenous models grace Nordstrom CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO —Clad in a cream jacket and a white crop top; Tunchai Redvers can be seen upon on a billboard for Nordstrom above the entrance to the Eaton Centre Mall at Yonge and Dundas Square — one of the busiest intersections in Toronto.

With Dene and Métis roots, Redvers comes from Treaty 8 territory, as she was born and raised in the Northwest Territories. Besides now being a Nordstrom model, she is a two-spirited woman, a social justice warrior and poet.

Her appearance upon the billboard is apart of Nordstrom’s We Like Your Style spring 2019 ad campaign, which is meant to promote diversity and inclusiveness.

“To be an Indigenous woman — and an Indigenous two-spirit woman at that — to have my 50-foot-face looking down

on everybody in the busiest intersection in Canada is just insane,' said Redvers, through a media submission.

The department store made an open casting call for the ad campaign and Redvers was one of eight selected. A differentiation she made was that the casting call wasn’t looking strictly for models, but rather people that are doing “really cool things” within their communities.

For Redvers, if you notice a red bracelet in her Nordstrom photos, this is to pay homage to a national non-profit that she and her brother Kelvin Redvers co-founded called We Matter. The non-profit is led by indigenous youth and shares messages of hope through videos, art and poems that are directed towards young people that have been affected by suicide. Thus, the red bracelet stands as a symbol of We Matter’s “hope pact.”

As she was selected out of many applicants, when Redvers thinks about another young indigenous girl

Tunchai Redvers and Michaella Shannon.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

looking up at her picture above the Eaton Centre, it brings forth a lot of emotion for her.

Alongside Redvers is also Michaella Shannon, an incredibly accomplished indigenous woman from the Frog Lake First Nations was the first Indigenous woman to win the title of Miss Teen Saskatchewan in 2014, as well as the first Indigenous woman to place in the Top 5 of Miss Teen Canada.

Michaella has modeled in New York Fashion Week, Vancouver Fashion Week, Aboriginal Fashion Week, and Project MTF Montana U.S., and has done photo shoots for many outlets that now include Nordstrom.

HAGERSVILLE — After defeating the Port Dover Sailors in a perfect series while the Grimsby Peach Kings took out the Dunnville Mudcats, the two victors were brought together to face off in a daunting pairing.

With Grimsby resting in second place and the Hawks in third, the Hawks would have had to pull a few loose strings to win the series. But the odds weren’t in their favour this year.

The series began on February 18, to which they lost the first game 2-4. The following game on February 19, they took a shut out loss 0-2. The third game on February, 22, they were given three days to rest but still took a loss 2-5. This gave the fourth game a lot of

arena flooded with support.

But the scoring in the first period was started by the Peach Kings two minutes in. Seven minutes later, Tycie Cowan broke through to land a bury with help from Ralph Taggart.

But what began to set the tone was that the Peach Kings had larger players— they weren’t afraid to use their size and take penalties as they racked up four minutes alone in the first period while the Hawks took none.

This brought a power play goal from Zack Carr for the Hawks, who was set up by Anthony Grigg and Riley Pinkney.

This allowed the Hawks to re-enter the ice with a lead, but also opened up for more aggression

from their opponents. The second period alone seen a game misconduct for the Peach Kings, as well as six minutes in penalties — four of which were for checking from behind.

With no scoring for either side, it seemed that the penalties were taking a toll on the Peach Kings, and keeping the Hawks scorers at bay.

This brought a weighted third period, whereby the Hawks had to up the ante on defence, or try to score.

However, the Peach Kings hit the ice ready to

steal their lead back, scoring five minutes in during a power play. Two more calls for slashing and tripping went for the Peach Kings; although throughout the game they gave up seven power plays to the Hawks, only one goal was returned by the Hawks.

But after a lot of back and forth and puck stealing, the Peach Kings buried once more before the end of the period. This finalized the game 3-2 for the Peach Kings, and ended the Hawks run for the season.

A lot of aggression and speed was displayed during their match up.

against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals, they sit six points out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a game in hand.

In 62 games, Montour has earned 25 points and was selected in the second round of the 2014 National Hockey League Draft.

The former Brantford Golden Eagle also has 16 goals and 47 assists in 169 career NHL games as a defence-men, and was expected to be in the Sabres lineup on Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

As stated by Knoxx III, a sabre is a weapon carried by a leader that could be used effectively on both offence and defence, which could be used as a comparison to how Montour had played in his time with Anaheim in the past.

with an exciting underdog victory.

Going up against Oliver M. Smith Elementary School, who were previously undefeated throughout the tournament, it wasn’t exactly in the cards for I.L. Thomas Elementary School to win the championship.

To win, the team had to defeat O.M.S., twice in a row if they qualified for the championship by taking a win from Jamieson Elementary School. This meant three games were lined up one after the other for I.L. Thomas.

After winning against Jamieson and winning the first game versus O.M.S., they then went on to the second. But rather than being out of fuel for this game, O.M.S., seemed to lag behind as I. L. Thomas reached ahead by two points in the first period.

By the second, I. L. Thomas earned a free throw point, while O.M.S., couldn’t quite connect with the basket as they either hit the rim or hit the backboard.

The third seemed to close up the game as O.M.S., continued to fight for possession, maintain ball control and fight for shot opportunities, but couldn’t finish. This allowed I.L. Thomas to reach ahead by another two points, while the final period simply showed a lot of hardworking defence for both sides and some time outs.

This finalized the game a full 5-0 for I. L. Thomas, who were awarded the Junior Basketball Championship for Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit.

Brandon Montour is an offensive-minded defenseman who was recently traded to the Buffalo Sabres which is much closer to home.

OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Junior Division Basketball Tournament took place at the Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre on Tuesday, February 26, after being postponed due to inclement weather.

The day featured match ups between all of the participating elementary schools from Six Nations, with each game holding six, four minute periods and controlled ball possession after an initial face off. The day itself ended

Last Sunday, Six Nations Brandon Montour was traded by the Anaheim Ducks for Brendan Guhle, a first-round draft pick, to the Buffalo Sabres.

Surrounding the trade, there is some unhappiness that the Sabres parted ways with Guhle, who was projected to be a part of the teams longterm future with his build, mobility and physical play on defence.

However, intrigue over Montours oncoming performance has subsided the initial unease as he has 21 games of invaluable playoff experience from his first two seasons in the NHL and his mobility and offence that

are considered exceptional. Unlike Guhle, he is also more than capable of quarterbacking the power play.

Although not a perfect player and having some flaws with positioning, the Sabres General Manager Jason Botterill was delighted with the trade, saying: “Brandon is a young, offensive-minded defence-men who can play the uptempo style we are looking to play. He’s a right-shot defence-men that brings additional playoff experience to our club,” to The Buffalo News.

In addition, the Sabres have shown that they still believe they have a decent chance of making this season’s playoffs as well as offering the coaching needed for Montour to mesh. With a couple of impressive performances

SIX NATIONS — The OLA recently granted a new sector of lacrosse dubbed Senior ‘C,’ open for application as they seek 12 teams to fill the league.

It wasn’t long until Jay Smith, a well-known lacrosse coach and player, decided to sign up a community based team.

“Originally we were forming the Tomahawks just to be a tournament team. But with this new league starting and a lot of our players still needing a place to play, I thought ‘well why not?’’ said Smith.

He explained that the OLA holds roughly 80 teams that are junior age while senior teams count to only 14 teams. This means that graduating players from the junior age-range have less choice in where they play, thus, the new league will offer a new place to enjoy the game.

“Locally we have the Chiefs and the Rivermen, and everybody knows that those rosters are hard to crack for the guys that can’t commit because they have work or school,” he said, as practice and game scheduling is both time and resource consuming.

“They are the guys that still want to play competitively, but they have no place to go really.”

Smith said that he believes that the Tomahawks and the league itself are “a perfect place for the working man,” because the league format is similar to masters lacrosse whereby practices run once a week and games run tournament style. Which means that the commitment level is smaller and perfect for those looking to play while still focusing on work, school or family.

“There has been a lot of interest,” he said, saying that many veteran players have come to check out the try outs. “The tourna-

BTr

ments will start in May and probably go through June and July, and hopefully the championship weekend will be sometime in August.”

Although founding the team, Smith explained that the Tomahawks will be a community based team without private ownership, and will continue to look for bench staff as well as executive support.

As Six Nations boasts some of the most exemplary lacrosse talent in the country, Smith explained that putting the team together is a labour of giving back.

“For me this is my way of giving back to the lacrosse community and our community as a whole,” he said. “I’ve been given the opportunity to help with our minor program for so long and I’ve seen a lot of players come through this minor system and go on to have very good junior careers and some of them are senior age, where they’re playing pros or MSL, while others are going in other directions. So hopefully this is my contribution to the community by giving some of those guys more opportunity to play.”

The first league meeting will be on March 2 and Smith said that more teams will be welcome to apply. The final roster as well, will be open for change until the middle of May. If you’d like to get in contact with Smith with inquiries or to offer bench or position help, he is available on Facebook Messenger at Jay Smith and the Facebook group at Six Nations Tomahawks Senior Lacrosse Club.
