Three Six Nations residents charged in triple homicide investigation NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Two men and one woman from Six Nations have been arrested in the deaths of 37-year-old Melissa Miller, 33-year-old Alan Porter, and 32-year-old Micheal Jamieson. OPP along with Six Nations Police announced the arrests of Nicholas Shipman, Thomas Bomberry and Jamie Beaver at a press conference at Six Nations on Friday. All three are facing second degree murder charges. Officers began their probe on Nov. 4 after the victims bodies were found along with an abandoned pickup truck in a privately owned field outside Oneida Nation of the Thames. Police said Miller was seven-months pregnant at the time of her death. Officers said they have

identified the cause of death, but they declined to share details on that or any other aspect of the investigation. The announcement of the charges on Thursday came hours after the last of the three people accused in the case, Jamie Beaver, was taken into custody. She faces one count of second-degree murder, while Nicholas Shipman faces three counts of the
same charge and Thomas Bomberry faces two. Police did not explain the breakdown of charges and said the decision to lay second-degree murder charges is now part of the evidence that will soon go before court. The development came after months of public pleas for information on the deaths of a group of close friends from the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation — a case one

officer said has caused deep wounds within the community. ``It saddens me to know that people who call this area home have been charged with ending the lives of three fellow community members in such a tragic way,'' said Darren Montour, the acting deputy chief of the Six Nations Police Service, which assisted the provincial force with the investigation. They also declined to comment on the timeline surrounding the deaths, a component of the case complicated by the fact that Shipman has been in police custody on an unrelated matter since Nov. 3. Investigators would not comment on the relationships among the accused or between them and the homicide victims. Nor would they expand on the connection between the suspects and Kirsten Bomberry, a 36-yearold Six Nations woman arrested three weeks after
the bodies were found and charged with three counts of accessory after the fact to murder. The surviving family members for all three victims released a joint statement through the Six Nations Justice Department expressing thanks to police and community members who contributed information that lead to the arrest of the accused. “At this time, the fami-
lies are asking not to be contacted by the media for any follow up or interviews. The emotional burden of this experience on the families is incredibly difficult and they are presently focused on grieving and enduring with life responsibilities,” said the statement from the Six Nations Justice Department.

Change in location, legal issues leads to clawback of funds for language school by June 2018. When EDT representatives reached out to find out why, the school requested to use the funds to purchase a lot of land from a private owner. “The Trustees denied the request as the cost of the property was greater than the approved total and there were too many legalities to purchase property on behalf of an applicant,” said Curley. Curley says Kawenni:io/ Gaweni:yo was given the opportunity to use the funds by year end. The school provided a quote three days before the deadline to clearcut 9 acres. “The trust was not comfortable to approve the clear cutting, nor did they think the work could be completed by year end. Thus the request was denied,” said Curley. “The Trustees did encourage the school to reapply for the 2020 call for applications.” Six Nations Elected Council voted on Tuesday
to approve K.L. Martin & Associates Ltd. to complete an update to the design of Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo School due to a relocation of the site for construction. The amount sought was $53,270. Dayle Bomberry explained the funding was already dedicated for the project through Indigenous Services Canada. The design update was approved unanimously. The location for the school was set to be behind Six Nations Polytechnic on Fourth Line. That has now changed and a new location near the former Salvation Army Church lot on Tuscarora Road has been secured. The funds have been since re-distributed by the EDT to three approved 2019 applicants: Six Nations Language Commission recieved $34,000.00, Six Nations Health Services was given an additional $30,000.00, and the Six Nations Community Foodbank was granted $54,129.35.
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust is putting out a second call for 2019 Grassroots funding applications. The EDT says this is a pilot project only guaranteed to run in 2019 and puts a new $150,000 investment into community programs. The Grassroots Application is designed for
established volunteer groups or organizations that do not have regular employees, would not have a registered board of directors, and may not have audited financials to provide. “By creating a second call, it will give community groups that fall under the grassroots category an additional opportunity to apply, as they may not have their activities planned out a
year in advance when our initial call for applications is released,” said Rachel Martin, Chair of the EDT. Those interested in applying can attend an information session on April 3, 2019 at Six Nations Tourism Building from 5 – 7 pm, email trust@ sndevcorp.ca or call Roxanne Wilkieson, Corporate Affairs Administrator at 519-753-1950 ext. 6450
BRANTFORD — Grand Erie District School Board says Dawn Tanner, Department Head for Special Education at Hagersville Secondary School was one of 18 Canadians who died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The crash occurred on March 10. Tanner was a member of the Hagersville Secondary School team since 2005, serving as a homework support person at the Six Nations Polytechnic Homework Support Centre. Tanner was also a former
teacher at JC Hill Elementary School. In an emailed statement Six Nations Elected Councillor Audrey Powless-Bomberry said, “Dawn taught at JC Hill School for a couple of years. She had a wealth of knowledge at the high school level, in math and science, that she shared with our students at the Homework Support Program on Six Nations. Dawn was a strong advocate for our students in Hagersville High School. She will be greatly missed. Our deepest
sympathy for her family and friends.” In a statement, GEDSB said, “We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Dawn’s family, her friends and everyone connected to this tragic loss. Dawn will be deeply missed and this sudden loss is being felt across our Board.” Flags will be flown at half-mast across Grand Erie when classes resume following March Break. The board says councillors will be available for support for affected students and staff.

OHSWEKEN — Just over $118,000 in funds allocated by the Six Nations of the Grand River’s Economic Development Trust (EDT) for a Six Nations language school has been clawed back and officials with the Dev Corp say it was a legally complex issue. Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) said in a statement on March 1, “the EDT approved funding to Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Private School in the amount of $118,129.35 to install the underground infrastructure for their laneway at the site of their future school, however the funds were not utilized by the Dec 1, 2018 deadline.” According to SNGRDC’s Communications Director Tabitha Curley, Kawenni:io/ Gaweni:yo did not have a secured site location by year end for 2018.

'Anne with an E' finds cast for Indigenous storyline for season 3
Indigenous talent Kiawenti:io Tarbell, Dana Jeffrey and Brandon Oakes are set to star in ‘Anne with an E’. The series can be seen on CBC and Netflix. PHOTOS VIA IMDB
TORONTO — The Canadian coming-of-age series ``Anne with an E'' has found its cast for an Indigenous storyline that will unfold in the upcoming third season. Producers say 12-yearold Kiawenti:io Tarbell, a Mohawk from Akwesasne, will play Ka'kwet on the CBC and Netflix series that's inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic novel. The character is described as an independent, resilient Mi'kmaq girl who befriends Anne, played by Amybeth McNulty. Showrunner Moira Walley-Beckett and executive producer Miranda de Pencier cast Tarbell after an extensive, open-call search
across Canada. Other new Indigenous cast members include Brandon Oakes and Dana Jeffrey. De Pencier first revealed the Indigenous storyline to The Canadian Press last month, when ``Anne with an E'' got 15 Canadian Screen Award nominations. ``There is an energetic charisma and undeniable intelligence to Kiawenti:io that aligns so perfectly with the character of Ka'kwet,'' de Pencier said Tuesday in a statement. ``Moira and I can't wait for 'Anne with an E' fans to meet her.'' The Canadian Screen Award nominations are for season 2, which included
an LGBTQ storyline and the show's first black character, a Trinidadian sailor played by Dalmar Abuzeid, who is nominated for best guest performance. ``I have always felt compelled to stretch the scope of the original book,'' Walley-Beckett said in the statement. ``Season 3 promises to be our most intense yet, with storylines about inclusion, romance, pathos, and growing pains for all our characters.'' Principal photography has started on the upcoming season, in which Anne turns 16 and her world starts to expand. New directors include Kim Nguyen and Michelle Latimer. It was excellent weather Thursday for Six Nations Schools District Snowsnake competition. Students gathered at I.L. Thomas School for the competition. PHOTOS BY DAVID LAFORCE.

In the news, 50 years ago this month By Jim Windle It was a different time at Six Nations and New Credit, even 50 years ago. We thought that for some of our older readers it may jog some fond memories while our younger readers may be interested in discovering how much has changed, while at the same time, how much has remained the same. March 1st, 1968: Mr. George Garlow, Arthur W. Anderson Jr., James S. Powless, Gaylord Powless, Mrs. Elda M. Smith, Mrs. Ethel (Brant) Montour, Russell Copeland Moses, Edwin Howard Staats, Reuson Jamieson, Dr. Gilbert Montour, Elliott N. Moses, Edward P. Garlow, Richard Isaacs and the late Mr. Hilton Hill received the honour of being awarded Centennial Medals by the Federal Government. The Midnight Ramblers cut a 45 RPM record 50 years this month. Songs recorded on the Caledon label were “I Wonder” with “You’re All I’ve Got” on the flip side. Band members included Gary Smith of the Six Nations Reserve, Art Rook of Paris, Wes Rowe of Wilsonville. Daniel Isaac Smoke, son of Mrs. Joyce Smoke, has been chosen as top speaker at both the Brant County and Brantford city public speaking contest. The Six Nations Library Board met at the home of Mrs. Ethel B. Montour on Thursday evening to discuss future plans for the Library. The new paper “The Moccasin News” edited by the St. Peters Women’s Guild, is welcomed into the community by the Six Nations and New Credit Reporter. “We admire this enterpris-
ing group and their friendly competition.” Mrs. Andrew Jamieson, co-editor of the Six Nations Reporter has been appointed Ohsweken correspondent for the Brantford Expositor.
Two escapees from Burtch Industrial Farm, were apprehended on Monday by RCMP and OPP on 5th Line of Tuscarora Township. Ed Waucash, 47, of Muncey and David Barkman, 16, of Welland were taken at the farm of Wilfred Jamieson after they had called at a farm house for food. The many friends of Mrs. Edith Montour, RN, will regret to hear that she had a misfortune to fall and break her wrist. A speedy recovery for Mrs. Montour. We are pleased to report that Mr. John Baptiste R.R. 6 Hagersville, is recovering from his accident. While attempting to repair his chimney, he slipped and fell from the roof. Mr. Baptiste will be 81-years old this month. The older men in the community will remember him as a grain thrasher. For years the 600 members of the Mississauga Indian Band have lived quietly of their 6,000-acre reserve here. But with the birth of the new Town of Mississauga, just west of Metro two months ago, they have suddenly found themselves in the limelight, a move which their Chief, Fred King, hopes may benefit the band. It was Aug. 2,1805 when the Chiefs of the Mississauga stood at the mouth of the Credit River and deeded over to the British the 70,704 acres of land which now includes the towns of Mississauga, Port Credit, Streetsville and a large section of what is now Oakville and Burlington. For years the Mississauga have lived

south of Brantford under the shadow of the sprawling Six Nations Reserve only a few miles from them, almost forgotten until 100,000 residents of Toronto Township voted to name their new town after them. Chief King officiated at ceremonies marking the birth of the new town on Jan. 1st. And has since spoken at other civic functions. The band and its problems are becoming known throughout the municipality and offers to help have been received. A group of townspeople have expressed interest in helping the band establish a much needed industry on the reserve. The Six Nations Peewees hockey team has now arrived at the finals. It is now the best 3 out of 5 for the Ontario Championship. Six Nations versus Schomberg, game number one.

SIX NATIONS — Last Thursday, the Six Nations Schools District Snow Snake Tournament took place at I.L. Thomas Elementary School after constructing the lane as a community effort. Youth of all elementary ages and genders were able to partake in com-peting in the ancestral winter game played traditionally by men of the Haudenosaunee. On the following Saturday and Sunday, the Six Nations Classic was held at Chiefswood Park which welcomed players for The Schoolboy Chal-lenge for grades 1-8, Men’s Mudcat followed by Third Class, Highschool Boys Long Snake and First Class Mens Long Snake followed by Second Class. Historically, the game was played by the men after returning home from annual winter hunting

trips and the matches allowed them to showcase and improve their athletic ability. Spiritually, the game was played by the men to uplift their spirits and bring a sense of comradery during the long winter months, halting seasonal blues. To play the game, a lane is built by piling and shaping snow into a troughlike trail with a split down the middle wide enough for a snow snake wig-gle through when thrown. The trough usually stands at hip-height and the force used to throw the snake comes from the hand supporting the bot-tom and following through with a lunge. Snow snakes them-
selves are hand-made through a carving process
and one end of the snake is curved upward slightly,
while the other end is notched to make it easier to toss — they resemble rounded spears. There are also different kinds of snow snakes for different types of snow as to allow the players to overcome packing snow, powdery snow and ice snow. Players can use several kinds of wax coating to help the snakes slide, similar to the wax used on skis and surf boards. While younger players will often use shorter and smaller versions of snakes nicknamed “mudcats” as well. The objective is for a team to accumulate distance, as each throw is tal-lied to see which group throws the furthest total distance after a prede-termined number of rounds.

For big games, the men would often raise the stakes by placing bets with belongings of value to them which could come in the form of wampum, hides or furs, and many players would come from across the territory to compete. Much like lacrosse, women were not included in the game as traditionally the game was used by the men as medicine after hunting for long peri-ods. In some areas, women were not even permitted to watch the game. However, for youth games today, both genders are typically allowed to participate to help establish a sense of understanding and respect for the game. Today, this medicine game is great for reconnecting with old friends and honouring a tradition of the generations before.

Trudeau apologizes for government's past mistreatment of Inuit with TB IQALUIT — James Eetoolook is a 72-year-old tuberculosis survivor among a family of survivors. He and seven of his relatives were stricken with TB, including his mother, sisters and brother, who was first diagnosed in the mid-1940s when one of the ships carrying doctors north to help Inuit reached his family's trading-post village. Eetoolook was sent to Edmonton for treatment at age 16, and was bed-ridden in hospital for months. Many more Inuit, from
the 1940s to the 1960s, were sent south for treatment. Some never returned home and were buried in southern Canada. Their families were never told of their deaths, nor their final resting places. On Friday, Eetoolook and Inuit across the North affected by the federal government's actions heard an official apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who shed tears as he called their treatment colonial and misguided. Trudeau also an-
nounced the opening of a database Inuit families should soon be able to use to find the graves of loved ones who died after they were transported south for treatment. The database is part of a wider initiative called Nanilavut, which means ``let's find them'' in Inuktitut. Eetoolook said the apology and database will bring closure to many Inuit. ``It will help the families that had loved ones that died,'' he predicted. ``Some of the (burial grounds) will be hard to
find.'' Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that typically affects the lungs and can be life-threatening. It can emerge into active illness years after a person catches it. Even with modern medical care, a full recovery can take months. Trudeau acknowledged many people with TB died after being removed from their families and communities and taken on gruelling journeys south on ships, trains and aircraft. The prime minister also apologized to those who still do not know what

happened to their loved ones. ``To the communities that are facing the consequences of this policy and others, we are sorry,'' he said. ``We are sorry that because of our mistakes, many Inuit don't trust the health-care system so they can't get help when they need it. We are sorry for the colonial mindset that drove the federal government's actions.'' The apology had been in the works for the better part of two years after Trudeau signed an Inuit-Crown partnership agreement in 2017. Prior to the apology, Trudeau was hugged in a long embrace by a woman who told the gathering how her husband died and his body was not returned. As Trudeau spoke, many in the room in Iqaluit's Frobisher Inn openly wept. ``That's what this project is about,'' Trudeau said. ``About finding and honouring Inuit who went missing during the TB epidemic and bringing healing and closure to everyone who was left behind.'' Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, called the government's treatment of its citizens a ``massive human-rights failure. '' His organization acts as the national voice of the roughly 60,000 Inuit living in four sections of northern Canada. ``From the Inuit perspective, apologizing for human-rights abuses is never a bad thing,'' he said in an interview. ``We as a country have to also accept responsibility for things that happened and know that apologies are necessary for classes of people whose human rights have been violated.'' Speaking after the prime minister addressed reporters, Obed lamented how little interest the issue seemed to receive from some reporters who travelled to Nunavut to cover the apology and asked Trudeau about the SNC-Lavalin affair instead. ``The fact that media pass right by the people whose human-rights abuses were not told by the media for decades, to other stories of the day, is still a reflection of
the work that needs to happen on reconciliation ... This story matters,'' he said. ``It is a Canadian story and I recognize there are other media stories that matter as well, but I do hope in the future, there can be more respect given to the place and time and the people who deserve to have their story told and the media that have a strong role to play to tell it.'' Inuit who were infected with TB in the middle of the 20th century were taken into government care, separated from their families and transported aboard ships to sanatoriums in the south of Canada, where they were disconnected from their culture and language. Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., a representative for Inuit in Nunavut, has said it wanted to help family members locate burial sites of those who died during tuberculosis treatment from the 1940s through the 1960s. Eetoolook, the organization's vice-president, said he is worried that TB is returning today. According to the most recent Public Health Agency of Canada report on the disease, the average annual rate of tuberculosis among Inuit in Canada a year ago was more than 290 times higher than Canadian born non-Indigenous people. The agency cited cramped social housing, overcrowding in homes, high smoking rates and high food prices among the main culprits. The report said progress has been made in tracing all cases of infectious TB, screening of school age children, faster diagnosis and earlier treatments, however. Trudeau reiterated Friday his government's two-year-old pledge to develop a plan to eliminate tuberculosis among Inuit. ``The government has said it wants to eliminate TB by 2030,'' Eetoolook said. ``Are they going to do it? Probably not.''

Slain teen's family hopes report will prevent further tragedy SAGKEENG FIRST NATION — The woman who raised a teenage Indigenous girl whose body was found in the Red River says she hopes a new report from the children's advocate will ensure a similar tragedy never happens again. ``Whatever happens, nothing will ever bring Tina back, but with this thing coming out I hope it saves other children,'' Thelma Favel, the great-aunt of Tina Fontiane, told The Canadian Press. The highly anticipated report from Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth Daphne Penrose will be released on Tuesday and is expected to detail Tina's interactions with the child-welfare system, police, and others before she went missing. It will also provide recommendations to avoid future deaths. Members of Tina's family will be present for the report's release on the Sagkeeng First Nation, north of Winnipeg, where the 15-year-old spent much of her young life living with Favel.
After Tina's father was murdered in 2011, the teenager had difficulty coping so she left the First Nation in June 2014 to reconnect with her mother in Winnipeg. When Favel didn't hear from the girl, she called Child and Family services for help. During the second-degree murder trial for Raymond Cormier _ the man acquitted last year in Tina's death _ court heard how in the weeks after leaving the First Nation, Tina disappeared multiple times, returned to government care and was placed in a hotel. She was treated at a hospital, interacted with police, called 911 and was captured on security camera footage falling asleep between two cars behind a building named after Helen Betty Osborne _ a Cree woman kidnapped and killed in Manitoba in 1971. Her 72-pound body, wrapped in a duvet cover and weighed down by rocks, was pulled from the Red River that August.
Her death renewed calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and inspired volunteer groups such as the Bear Clan Patrol to protect the vulnerable on the streets. A 24-hour safe space for Winnipeg youth was dedicated to her memory last May. Penrose delivered the report to Favel last week, and while she was unable to share details, Favel said it demonstrates how deeply Tina was failed. ``All the systems that failed her, even now it hurts. I could just picture her walking those streets and nobody helping her,'' Favel said choking back tears. ``She didn't deserve that. Nobody does.'' Favel said she believes the report and its accompanying recommendations will be an important part of Tina's legacy, making sure that gaps are closed and children are safe. ``That's my main concern, that no other kids fall through the cracks like she did.''

'Children are going to die:' Advocate's report on Tina Fontaine urges changes SAGKEENG FIRST NATION, MB — An Indigenous teenager in Manitoba reached out for help multiple times in the weeks before she was found dead in a river but was told there were no beds available, says a report into her death. The report by children's advocate Daphne Penrose said 15-year-old Tina Fontaine was essentially left homeless and at risk for sexual exploitation. Tina's death in August 2014 renewed calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and inspired volunteer groups such as the Bear Clan Patrol to protect the vulnerable on the streets. A 24-hour safe space for Winnipeg youth was dedicated to her memory last May. There were multiple signs the girl was spiralling downward and in danger of dying, but nothing was ever done, said Penrose. ``What's at stake are the lives of children. What's at stake are that children are going to die if we don't make changes,'' the advocate said as she released her report Tuesday on the Sagkeeng First Nation. ``They are going to die in this way if we don't get resources for them to access.'' The advocate's investi-
gation, which began last March, looked at records from the medical examiner, police, health authorities, child-welfare agencies and others. It also included interviews with Tina's family and other community members. A representative for the teenager's family said Tina can finally rest in peace. The report details how Fontaine's family was affected by a history of residential schools, the '60s Scoop and child-welfare agencies. ``She carried a burden that was not her own,'' Penrose said. Tina's mother was 17 years old and was still a child in care when Tina was born on New Year's Day in 1999. Both her parents struggled with addictions. Five years later, her father asked Tina's greataunt Thelma Favel to take care of her and her sibling on the reserve northwest of Winnipeg. It was a relatively stable time in the young girl's life. That changed when Tina's father was murdered in 2011. Tina's caregiver tried to get help for the young girl from victim services. But because of questions about who was the teen's legal guardian, she never received counselling.
In June 2014, Tina left to try to reconnect with her mother in Winnipeg. When Favel didn't hear from the girl, she called Child and Family Services for help. The report outlines how Tina's high-risk behaviour rapidly escalated in her final two months. She disappeared, was homeless, developed addictions and was sexually exploited. But she also reached out several times for help. On one occasion Tina called Child and Family Services but no one arranged to pick her up. Workers told the teen to ride her bicycle to a shelter. There's no evidence she arrived. ``For Tina, more than once in a matter of weeks she was told there were no beds available for her, which essentially left her homeless and responsible to find her own place to stay,'' the report says. With no where to go, youth may be forced into sexual exploitation to have their basic needs met, it says. ``Sadly enough for children, when they are on the streets nothing comes free,'' Penrose said. The report says Tina disclosed to her child-welfare agency that she was hanging out with a
62-year-old, meth-using man. Court heard during the second-degree murder trial of Raymond Cormier Six Nations community members please _ who was acquitted last join us to learn about the Two Row on the year in Tina's death _- how the young girl was associGrand Paddle and how to get involved for ating with the older man the upcoming paddle this summer 2019 and he admitted he was sexually attracted to her.

Opinion: SN Cannabis Law passes and community didn’t know By Nahnda Garlow The Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) put out a statement last week, confirming that the Six Nations Cannabis Law was passed by the council on February 25, 2019. However, the historic moment is being overshadowed by confusion and frustration about how SNEC got to that point. At Tuesday’s General Council meeting Councillor Mark Hill raised concerns that there was a communications problem with the council being transparent with community members about the bill passing. Several community meetings were held to get feedback on what the law would and should look like. There has been heavy debate on social media, some people raising jurisdictional issues of a Six Nations Cannabis Law that excludes the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs. Other members of the community spoke out, not wanting a Cannabis industry in the community at all. The consultations were long and intense. Feedback was gathered and four drafts of the law penned,
the fourth eventually passing into law. But what is what is the standard Six Nations process for making a law? Later this year the Six Nations Elected Council will hold a referendum to approve the Six Nations proposed changes to the Election Code. There are also discussions of a referendum about residency coming, ahead of changes to membership with Bill S-3 on it’s way to Six Nations. Why was there no referendum on Cannabis at Six Nations? The community had a referendum on whether or not to pursue a venture in a beer bottling company, the results of which were confusing. Though there were more ‘yes’ votes than ‘no’ votes the official announcement was that the project would not go forward. So, who has clout here and who decides when a thing needs a referendum in this community? What is the Six Nations Elected Council policy on making laws? And with the announcement that the bill has passed, when will there be an update into the particulars of when things
like permits come into effect? We sent those questions to SNEC and have not received and answer, though they did confirm there is an answer on it’s way. It is important in these times to be understanding with each other. This is a new industry and for the first time in history indigenous communities are entering into it at the same speed as other communities — albeit a little delayed because of political differences. But this is an important fact to respect. Stepping out and articulating sovereignty by drafting a community led Cannabis law is good. It’s better than that, it’s monumental. But SNEC needs to take warning: all this good work can get lost quickly in a politically diverse community that can become polarized the minute someone perceives their voice has been slighted. The unifying work done on the Cannabis law can evaporate in an instant if it seems like it was passed without general public knowledge that we as a community were at that stage of the game.

Buffy Sainte Marie getting Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame honour STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — Buffy Sainte-Marie is set to be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Organizers say the acclaimed singer-songwriter will receive the honour at the SOCAN Awards in Toronto on April 1. Sainte-Marie's 1964 peace anthem ``Universal Soldier'' was inducted to the same hall of fame in 2005. It's among countless accolades the musician, Indigenous rights activist and educator has received throughout her career. She also won an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award for co-writing the 1982 song ``Up Where We Belong,'' which was performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes for the film ``An Officer and a Gentleman.'' The 78-year-old performer also has several Junos, a Polaris Prize, a
Governor General's Performing Arts Award, and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. ``I'm honoured to be recognized in the company of so many Canadian songwriters that have inspired me,'' Sainte-Marie said in a statement. ``As a songwriter, I never set out to be courageous or political, I just wanted to tell my stories as authentically as possible, and bring light to the truth.'' Born on the Piapot Plains Cree First Nation in Qu'Appelle Valley, Sask., Sainte-Marie gained fame as a socially conscious folk singer and pioneer of electronic music in the 1960s. Her varied career has also included a five-year stint on ``Sesame Street'' and founding the Nihewan Foundation for American Indian Education as well as the Cradleboard Teaching Project. Her other songs include ``Now That the Buffalo's Gone,'' ``Power In the Blood,'' and ``Generation.''
MANDAREE – Norma Baker Flying Horse became the first indigenous contemporary dress designer to have one of her fashion designs worn at the Academy Awards show just last month. Flying Horse, owner of Red Berry Woman, which is a fashion designing business at Mandaree on the Fort Berthold Reservation in western North Dakota, dressed Alice Brownotter for the evening in a dress decorated with dentalium shells. "Miss Alice was an onstage guest of singer-songwriter and activist Andra Day. She represented her home, the Standing Rock Nation, as well as the rest of Indian Country who felt such pride to see her among Hollywood's elite. Thank you Natalia and Alice for allowing me to be your Red Carpet Designer. I'm so very honoured and proud," Flying Horse said to the Bismarck Tribune. Brownotter was asked

She ran 1519 miles at the of 12 from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in north Dakota to the front steps of the Army Corps of Engineers office in Washington D.C., in protest of the construction of the Dakota Access
Pipeline. Her mother has supported Flying Horse's work for some time and when Brownotter was asked to appear on the stage of the Oscars, Flying Horse was the first person she thought of that would have a fashion design to coincide with her daughter's native heritage. Flying Horse has been

BRANTFORD — The stories of the children who lived at the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School will be the focus of the next free public lecture presented by the Friends and Neighbours of Save The Evidence at the Woodland Cultural Centre within Laurier University. Rick W. Hill Sr., senior interpretive specialist at the WCC, will present "Survivor Tales: Life and Death at the Mohawk Institute" on Wednesday, March 20 at 7 p.m. in Room RCE 004 in the Research and Academic Centre of Laurier Brantford at 150 Dalhousie St. Hill will explore stores collected from historical
documents and recent survivor interviews that reveal the true story of the Mohawk Institute, the country's oldest residential school, to help shed light upon the untold stories and happenings within the institute. Hill, a Tuscarora of the Beaver Clan, is leading the development of interpretive information for the building which is currently undergoing repair and renovation. He is the former special assistant to the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and is a professor of American history, an artist, photographer and an authority on contemporary Native American art and Indian images depicted in multi-media. He was the museum director and principle designer of the
new Institute of American Indian Arts and museum director for the Native American Centre for the Living Arts. The lecture is sponsored by the Friends and Neighbours Group, a grassroots committee of volunteers supporting the Woodland Cultural Centre's Save The Evidence Campaign. The goal of the lecture series, entitled Revealing The Truth, is to educate attendees and promote a community dialogue about the former Mohawk Institute and to further reconciliation. The Mohawk Institute, on Mohawk Street in Brantford, operated as a residential school from 1828 until its closure in 1970. Save the Evidence is a capital campaign to raise awareness and support for the repair and renovation

of the Mohawk Institute building with the goal being to ensure that the physical evidence of the dark history of residential schools in Canada is never forgotten. After its closure in 1970, the former Mohawk Institute reopened as the Woodland Cultural Centre, which operates as a museum, gallery, and cultural hub for indigenous history, language, education, art, and contemporary culture. The Save the Evidence campaign has received support from Six Nations Elected Council, the City of Brantford and the Province of Ontario, as well as from individuals and organizations This will be the sixth and final lecture in the 2018-19 series, presented in association with Laurier Brantford.

Little NHL, nearly 50 years in the making
Taking a look at the history of a legendary Indigenous hockey tournament CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES
MISSISSAUGA — This year, the 48th Annual Little Native Hockey League (LNHL) is being hosted by the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in the City of Mississauga. The tournament began on Monday, March 11 and will continue until Thursday, March 14, while welcoming over 200 indigenous hockey teams to compete. This year in particular, more than 2500 athletes from indigenous communities across Ontario are competing and a record of 229 teams have signed up. This includes a recent surge of girls teams as 43 girls teams are competing this year, up from the previous
32 girls teams. The four-day tournament coordinates over 500 games throughout, and the executive for the tournament has considered increasing the number of days for the tournament as they have a moral they want to stick to: "We want you to know that we are trying very hard to maintain the uniqueness of the LNHL tournament in keeping with the original intent of the Founding Fathers of the LNHL,” a statement from the tournament executive reads on the LNHL website. "With the growth in numbers it has become extremely difficult to fit over 500 games in four days. As we have said, in the history of the LNHL, we have never turned a team down and we are not about to start
now. “ This virtue has helped the tournament grow sevenfold from a mere 30 teams at the start in 1971. “In many of the communities, Little NHL is a hallmark hockey event for all players, parents, family and community members to participate in and take pride in our children and young people," said Marian Jacko, President of the Little Native Hockey League's Executive Committee. "It is an opportunity for everyone to come together to promote the Little NHL's four pillars of respect, citizenship, sportsmanship and education.” The name Aamjiwnaang, which is pronounced am-JIN-nun means “at the spawning stream,” and its community expressed pride in hosting the tourna-

MISSISAUAGA — For the first time, Hydro One launched its “Win as One Team” contest, where participants were invited to share their team spirit and excitement for the tournament. With over 50 entries from across the province, the Garden River Little Thunder Tyke Team was selected as the winner and received new hockey sticks.

Hockey Tournament,” said Chief Chris Plain, of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation. “This tournament continues to provide Indigenous youth the opportunity to come together to represent their communities and showcase their hockey skills.” “The Little NHL tournament has become a tradition for First Nation communities in Ontario, and Aamjiwnaang is pleased to work with generous sponsors such as Hydro One to ensure
the tradition continues to be passed down to future generations,” he said. From Tyke to Midget, the divisions allow nearly all youth ages to showcase their skills, make new connections and create memories during March break. With interest in hockey and facilities blossoming within indigenous communities across Ontario, the tournament is expected to continue to grow larger in the coming years.

SIX NATIONS — Another Saturday of women’s box lacrosse took place at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena this past Saturday, as the usual four teams endured match ups throughout the later part of the day. Although unscheduled online, the games brought together the Lady Snipers, River Wolves, Shockwave and Steelhawks for great showings of practice as the sixth week continues to approach. The Lady Snipers were paired with the Shockwave during the second game, who were unrelenting in the first period as they racked up three goals. The Snipers were only able to return one, as Brianna Tremblay scored after working from the crease with passes from Tyra Skye and Tori Johnson. In the second, the Shockwave slowed down as Snipers tender Cordelia Eno blocked majority of outside shots. But inside shots were more difficult, as the Shockwave earned two buried this period. However, quick to return was Mekwan Tulpin, who scored unassisted from the draw. Entering the third period, the Shockwave maintained a steady lead as they quickly put away two more goals, sitting the score at 7-2 until Mackenzie Bomberry scored from Tulpin. This opened the fourth period with much needed catching up for the

Snipers, who seemed up to the task. Miranda Vonhanke scored her first from Tulpin and Tremblay scored her second from Johnson. But the Shockwave were consistent in their lead and returned twice. Their over-powering offence seemed to maintain control throughout the game and maintained ball possession which kept the Snipers from scoring. However, in the final minute of the fourth, Tremblay broke from the draw and earned a hat trick with an unassisted goal. This closed their match 6-9 for the Shockwave. In the their second game of the day, the Lady Snipers played back to back and met up with the top league team.

as one team, making them a force to be reckoned with. This brought out some animosity, but former teammates from both teams seemed to take the game as fun rather than serious competition. The RiverWolves were still quick to dole out shots and earn marks on the scoreboard however, as they quickly earned a lead after the Snipers initial first period goal by Tremblay, unassisted. While Shayal Williams also buried unassisted, this closed the scoring for the Snipers and the RiverWolves took control. Throughout the rest of the game, the RiverWolves earned another six goals
and closed the game 8-2. Although these games were not recorded in the league standings, it is easy to tell that without effort and player attendance, the Snipers will fall behind the Shockwave and RiverWolves in contending for the Women’s ALL Cup. Stacked with skilled players on both fronts, it may be that the defending champions will have a hard run for their money against the two opposing teams based out of St. Catharines and Paris.

Outdoor sports enthusiasts challenged in The Radicals
By TRT Staff Released in fall of 2018, The Radicals pairs itself with breathtaking cine-matography and immersive storytelling as a documentary film that fol-lows four snowboarders and surfers reaching out to indigenous commu-nities as they become stewards for the environments in which their sports find home. By enjoying and appreciating their natural surroundings, these awakened athletes introduce the audience to
some of the worlds most dedicated activists and game-changing wilderness initiatives that can actually change the world. Thus, the documentary is a blend of sports action and frontline Indige-nous activism, as the film takes the audience beyond the waves and snowscapes of B.C. and into the communities and issues faced by the people that have lived and sustained themselves in those same land-scapes for millennia. As the narrative is
established between former and current pro-surfers and snow-boarders, the mic is then given to the indigenous communities that they’ve built relationships with so that they can tell their own stories. The communities included within the documentary are the Haida, as their connection to the land, art and culture runs deep, the Musgamagw & Namgis, as open-pen fish farms pollute the ocean and endanger the wild salmon as well as all the other wildlife that con-
tribute to the ecosystem, the Tahltan, as resource extraction proceeding without community con-sent in Northern B.C., banded the people of the land together to fight for their rights, and the Xwisten Nation, as hydro-electric dams are causing the destruction of salmon habitats on their beloved Bridge River. One of the filmmakers said that any profits from the film will be split between the First Nations featured in the film and hopes that the docu-
men-tary will inspire those that view it. “The Radicals inspires us to shift our perspective, rise above the chal-lenges of modern society and dig into our roots to create radical waves of change, while still enjoying the thrill of nature, gravity, and a sense of real purpose,” reads their online website. A lot of showings can also be found, as no private release date has been set.

Six Nations Mens Snipers keep falling short CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Unfortunately for the Snipers, their recent matches have fallen just short of victory each time. During their pairing with the Toronto Monarchs on Sunday, February 17, they were just shy of a win. The Monarchs kicked off the first period with two goals, while the Snipers didn’t return until the second, with a bury from Justin Martin. Soon to follow was Josh Miller from Skye Sunday and Tyler brown for two consecutives. This still made the score 5-4 for the Monarchs, who were quick to maintain their lead. Following into the third they racked up three in a row and left the Snipers without. The fourth period however, gave the snipers the opportunity to start climbing back as Martin scored his second from Brent Longboat and Sunday. Mike Mclaughlin received a pass from goaltender Jake Lazore and buried just minutes later and Brown scored his third for a hat trick. But this left the Snipers still behind by two, as the Monarchs closed the competition 9-7. Later, on Saturday, March 2, the Snipers travelled to RiverWolve soil to battle it out in the Syl

Apps Community Centre. The first period began with a goal for the Snipers by James Chadwick from Justin Martin. But the RiverWolves sent a barrage of shots that paid off with a four goal lead, until the end as Mike Mclaughlin buried from Patrick Corbett. The second period opened with a goal by Jake Bomberry from Wayne Vanevery and Brown. But this closed the scoring for the Snipers until the
third period, as Brown buried from Vanevery and Danton Miller right at the start. This gave way to their strongest period as Martin scored twice, while Miller and Josh Miller racked one each. Vanevery then finished with a pass from Ian Martin, from Tyler Brown and this brought the score to 9-8 for the Snipers. Entering the fourth period, the Snipers and Riverwolves went back and forth until a 10-10 tie

brought an over time goal for the RiverWolves. This closed the contest 11-10 with the Snipers simply missing out.
In their most recent home game, the Snipers met up with the currently undefeated St. Catharines Shockwave on Saturday,
March 10. With the Shockwave sitting on top of league standings, the Snipers came out full force in the first period, earning three consecutive goals by Vanevery, D. Miller and Longboat within minutes of each other. But by the second period, the Shockwave tied it up, pushing the Snipers to continue to put work in. Which they did, as Vernon Hill scored twice in a row, Vanevery scored twice for a hat trick and McLaughlin and Ian scored their firsts of the game. This brought a 9-5 lead for the Snipers in the fourth and victory seemed close. But the Shockwave did all of the necessary scoring to close the gap. Within the last seconds of the game, the Snipers tried hard to put the ball in the Shockwave net, but the Shockwave tender stepped up to the challenge and blocked I. Martin’s final shot. This closed the game 9-10 for the Shockwave, but proved that the Snipers can compete, they just need a little more finish.
