SIX NATIONS — There will be a controlled burn of the Tall Prairie grasses at the Chiefswood National Historic Site this week. Six Nations of the Grand River Development Coroporation manages the site and says a permit to do the controlled burn was obtained and will take place this Saturday May 4 at 2:00 p.m. with a rain date of Sunday May 5 at 11:00 a.m.. Officials say the burn will take approximately 30 minutes with visible smoke lasting about 45 minutes after the burn is

complete. According to a press release from the SNGRDC, the burn is part of the management of the indigneous plants and ecosystem introduced to the Chiefswood property in the 1990s. “The prescribed burn at CNHS is essential to manage and restore the newly created tallgrass prairie ecosystem” said Janis Monture Director of Tourism. “Plants native to the tall grass prairie have deep root stems and have adapted to periodic wildfires. A prescribe burn helps to return nutrients to the soil, heat up the ground for plant growth, and keeps out any invasive, non-native plants.”

Chiefswood National Historic Site is the birthplace and childhood home of renowned of renowned Mohawk and English poetess, E. Pauline Johnson. The historic site features identical entrances- the South entrance faces the river to welcome Six Nations community members who arrived by canoe, and the North entrance faces the road to welcome visitors from surrounding communities who arrived by horse-drawn carriage. The two entrances are a living symbol of the shared cultures of the Johnson family. For more information please visit www. chiefswoodnhs.ca

Local group halts A6N workers from returning to work on NRL NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — A group of about 25 people stood at the edge of the Highway 6 bypass in Caledonia Monday morning, blocking access to the Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL) worksite with pick up trucks — preventing A6N workers from completing the transmission line. Work on the NRL has been halted since January 2019 after the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) delivered a cease and desist letter to workers on the job. Six Nations Development Corporation CEO Matt Jamieson said Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation and A6N decided to honour that request while HCCC pursued a meeting with Hydro One. On Monday, people blocked the driveway into the worksite along side the group’s speaker, Colin Martin, who is Director of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s federally registered financial management corporation Ogwawhista Dedwasnye Inc. Video footage of the discussion shows Martin was approached by Jamieson along with the

Development Corporation’s Communications Director Tabitha Curley. SNGRDC put out a call late last week to ask members of the Six Nations community to come out in support of A6N’s return to work. Jamieson said they were planning on hosting a barbeque and information table, hoping to have discussions with community members to hear their concerns about the project. A number of community members, elected councillors and A6N employees along with private security and plain clothed OPP officers waited across the street, hoping to gain access to the site.

“There’s still not going to be no working until the Confederacy authorizes work,” Martin told Jamieson and Curley. “We’re not here to negotiate, we’re here enforcing the Confederacy’s decision to cease and desist.” Another woman, Rhonda Martin, said, “It’s going to be like this from here on in. No matter what kind of projects try to encroach on our property and on our lands. If you don’t consult with the chiefs then we’ll just keep stepping up and stepping up and stopping everything.” The decision to send A6N workers back to the site follows an unsuccess-

ful “counter-proposal” the Haudenosaunee Development Institute made to Hydro One on behalf of the HCCC. Jamieson says Hydro One officials informed him the HCCC wanted the power company to abandon it’s agreement with the Development Corporation and the Elected Council and instead sign an agreement with HDI. “Hydro One evaluated that and assessed that it was not something they wanted to do,” said Jamieson in an interview with TRT on Friday. “They entered into an agreement with us in good faith. Through that whole pro-

cess we went through our community engagement. We engaged the people. We told them what it was all about. We made attempts to communicate with the HCCC and others.” Jamieson said he was surprised that the HCCC’s proposal didn’t raise environmental concerns or land rights. “We thought they might be grounded in maybe some treaty rights or some land based arguments, or something around environmental concerns. None of that was presented, as far as we know, to Hydro One.” He says the counter proposal was political, and that the HCCC was seeking

proposal was rejected on the grounds that the SNEC were party to it’s engagement process and HCCC did not want that. A second attempt to craft an HCCC deal on the line came in the summer of 2012, when HDI attempted to pair negotiations on the NRL during it’s consultations with the Niagara Region Wind Corporation. HDI says discussions fell flat when Hydro One informed them they required Six Nations Elected Council to participate in any negotiation process. HDI says they abandoned those discussions following a directive by the HCCC. A third attempt was made in February 2015 when HCCC’s Haudenosaunee Wildlife Habitat Authority requested to take the lead on negotiating an agreement for the

line. However that attempt fizzled out when HCCC directed the Habitat Authority to work together with HDI and no one followed up on doing the work. THE CURRENT AGREEMENT In September 2017, Hydro One and SNGRDC entered into a memorandum of understanding to complete the NRL. From October 2017 to January 2018 the Development Corporation held community engagement sessions to see if the community would approve or reject it’s involvement in the project. In February 2018, the SNGRDC Advisory Committee recommended the Development Corporation accept the proposal. Later that month the Elected Council unanimously ratified that decision. SNEC then allocated a $12.5 million payment it

received from a different agreement with the OLG and invested that money into a 25% equity position in the NRL — making the acquisition a debt free investment for Six Nations that is expected to generate $46 million to the community. The final agreement was signed between the Development Corporation, SNEC and Hydro One in May 2018. Construction on the line began in October 2018. WORK SHUTDOWN BY HCCC According to Hydro One’s interim public report, construction on the transmission line was then halted on January 21 to consider concerns raised by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC). “The HCCC asserts it was not properly consulted about this project prior to construction commence-

ment. We are working with our partner, Six Nations of the Grand River, to determine appropriate steps to be taken to resume construction,” said the report. SNGRDC says the HCCC passed a resolution in a Confederacy Council meeting in January 2019 to send a delegation of people to halt construction on the line and deliver a cease and desist letter to A6N construction workers on site. The letter, demanded work halt on the line immediately and insisted the HCCC get a meeting with Hydro One. In February 2019 the SNGRDC posted public information outlining the problems they were facing and asking the HCCC publicly to lift their cease and desist demand on line construction. At that meeting, HCCC sent a representative, Col-

a financial agreement - and to see A6N and SNGRDC “pushed aside with no other value added in terms of land rights or environmental concerns.” Hydro One rejected HCCC’s proposal and then picked up on conversations with the Development Corporation on how they could move forward to complete the project. Several earlier conversations with the HCCC and Hydro One to see the transmission line completed also failed. HCCC attempted to resolve the issue in 2012 and 2015 but were unsuccessful. According to HDI, the chiefs did not reach an agreement with Hydro One because they refused to share an agreement with the Six Nations Elected Council. Derek Chum, Vice President of Indigenous Relations for Hydro One said in an emailed statement to TRT, “Hydro One is committed to its partnership with the Six Nations of the Grand River on this important project which will have lasting economic benefits for the community and its people.” Last week SNGRDC announced they would be returning to work and said they delivered a letter to

The basics on the Niagara Reinforcement Line dispute

In 2006, during the Caledonia reclamation of the housing development at Douglas Creek Estates, work on a new power line crossing the property was shut down mostly due to its proximity to the land dispute. That powerline sat dormant for over a decade. In the meantime, talks were revived a few times between Hydro One, the HCCC and SNEC to see the project completed and electricity flowing through the powerline. In the summer of 2012, the Haudenosaunee Development Institute made two attempts at making some progress toward it’s own deal with Hydro One to get the line completed. According to an HDI report to the HCCC, HDI was involved in talks with the Abor Group in January 2012 to see a deal to complete the line. That

in Martin, to read a letter, claimed the HCCC had no knowledge of agreements between Hydro One and SNGRDC to complete the line. “We learned of the deal made with Hydro One, not from the Development Corporation, but from an outside investment firm that we have no entered into an agreement with,” says the letter. However, minutes posted to the HCCC’s own website prove that claim to be untrue. In December 2017 HDI presented an extensive background on the previous attempts made to reach an agreement with Hydron One and the current agreement being proposed between the Development Corporation and Hydro One. Further updates were given to the HCCC in March and May 2018.

BRANTFORD — Brantford Police say there has been a surge in gun violence in the city since the start of 2019. Since January there have been 16 gun-related incidents in the city, including the seizure of 4 loaded hand guns and 8 shooting incidents resulting in 7 victims and 1 homicide. According to police all of those instances involved individuals from Brantford, as well as persons connected to several other Ontario communities. In a statement today Brantford Police said, “These incidents were not random criminal acts; the persons involved are believed to be entrenched within criminal and highrisk lifestyles, and in most cases were known to each other. Regardless, these incidents and the increased presence of guns in our City pose a significant risk to community safety.” Police announced that on April 8, a new Task Force was created that will focus on gun-related crime in the city. Brantford Police Chief Geoff Nelson said, “The creation of this Task Force was absolutely necessary. Elimination of gun violence in our City requires a properly resourced and specialized unit to focus its efforts exclusively on those individuals who pose a threat to the safety of our community. These individuals will have the full attention of the Task Force.” Brantford Police Inspector Scott Williams said, “The behaviour and utter disregard for community safety demonstrated by the persons responsible for gun violence within Brantford will not be tolerated. All incidents will be investigated to the highest standard and degree.” “It is of great concern that a number of these incidents could have resulted in innocent bystanders being harmed,” said Nelson.

all our relations.

Broken down to its core, bullying is unfair treatment. Negative, unfair treatment. In some instances, perpetrators will invent a false rumour about their victim in an attempt to manipulate others to join in on attacking their target. It’s different if someone really was caught doing something unethical — like stealing money for example. If the community does not trust them with money anymore that is NOT bullying. But if a lie is formed to create a false narrative about a person — a fake story that isn’t based in fact — at that point any negative treatment that person receives due to the lie becomes bullying. This week a terrible act of what we call cultural bullying was launched on Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation’s employees Matt Jamieson and Tabitha Curley when about 25 people blocked A6N workers from heading back to work. Colin Martin has emerged in recent weeks as the new speaker for the HCCC. Martin took it upon himself to ask both Jamieson and Curley about their lineage. When he asked Tabitha who she was and she answered by giving her name and clan family Colin asked her a question. “Are you saying you’re Haudenosaunee?” Tabitha replied by saying, “Yes. And I’m saying I’m also a member of the Confederacy. Everybody here is.” Colin’s reply was, “The confederacy council has allowed you to have that identity.”

This is a clear example of cultural bullying. According to the Great Law and our Haudenosaunee way of being, Tabitha is Haudenosaunee by birth — she is Onondaga, Beaver Clan by virtue of being born into a family that loves her and holds her as one who belongs. And she is a member of Six Nations by virtue of being born into this community. This is fact, and not something that needs to be qualified or verified by Colin Martin, the HCCC or anyone else. Maybe it made Colin feel really important to be able to speak to Tabitha in this way. Was it proof that he knew more than her? Or maybe a demonstration to the people around him that he was better connected to the HCCC and knows the “real rules” of what it means to be a Haudenosaunee? Another person in the crowd shouted out to Matt Jamieson, “What kind of a Haudenosaunee are you?” A question to which he replied, “I grew up here man.” It was a good answer. If the HCCC really feels like this is justifiable behaviour by all means, carry on. But there are thousands of Haudenosaunee people whose identity and membership in this community does not depend on whether or not they have the HCCC’s permission to be called a Haudenosaunee. There are thousands of people on Six Nations who belong to the 49 clan families, lineages that were disrupted by colonization. People who,

Volume 6, Issue 38 Make advertising cheques payable to:

Garlow Media

through no fault of their own, don’t know who their clan or chief or clan mother may be. People who don’t deserve rejection or critical analysis by the HCCC or any of it’s speakers to qualify what box they fit in. There is no Haudenosaunee measuring stick. Cultural bullying only teaches us that we can’t trust each other. We shouldn’t punish each other. If you are going to punish someone because you think they deserve it, whether it be the silent treatment or some other form of lateral violence you should recognize that punishment isn’t our way and it was taught to us through colonization, Christianization and residential school. No matter how bad it gets in Six Nations we should remember what our ancestors went through in the name of peace. Think of the very first Grand Council when all 49 families were represented there. The Onondaga wizard Tadadaho had murdered Hiawatha’s daughters, and some say that Tadadaho either raped them or ate them, depending on who you ask. Either way it was super horrific and couldn’t be much worse. Hiawatha and Tadadaho put their personal differences aside to find a pathway to peace — respecting one another’s differences and autonomy. One can only hope our current leadership can do the same thing.

Brantford Police officer walks into wrong house on Easter Monday It’s Passover, Dogs are barking! It’s a Brantford Police Officer inside my house. I posted a log on my Facebook profile to alert the Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis who also acts as a Peace Officer and member of the Brantford Police Services Board of this strange and unwarranted entry into my house. Allegedly looking for the house across the street, although the Police Officer was polite and left when he realized he was in the wrong house. The unwarranted entry into my house triggered PTSD from earlier dealings in 2012 with the Brantford Police (15 officers) assisted County Sheriff who raided and confiscated our house for unpaid taxes. This was a 7 months standoff between the Sheriff and our family, when he gained access the very first thing he did was rip the Warrior flag out of my window telling me I won’t be needing this anymore, like some insane game of capture the flag. The Sheriff “John Dobson” stepped up on my couch to take the flag in doing so stepped on my eldest boy

hiding under the blankets, hiding from the terror of these armed men smashing the doors and windows to gain access. Blood everywhere, trailing through the house, bleeding from my feet from the smashed and embedded glass from defending the entry ways. I have been in contact with the Mayor/CEO of the Corporation of the City of Brantford who provided a route for a formal complaint under the Police Services Act, but this is far beyond a common complaint, this is far more complex than that. I sent a letter to the Police Services Board to request this incident be reviewed by their insurance provider. As a descendant of the Mohawk who have valid claim of right to peacefully possess these lands, it must be seen as a major encroachment and something no complaint form can address without a full Canadian cultural shift.

Feature Column: Going back down the bush By Gary Farmer Good to see you all again. I know I am often in my own world at times back at home. I love it here. We used to and maybe still do call it “the bush”. “Where you going?” “Down the bush!” Though there is not much bush left at all. I cannot help but be a receptor when I come home, since I was born at the Lady Wellington Hospital—site of the new clinic sixty-six years ago this June. Coming and going for so many years I’ve grown accustomed to maintaining my objectivity as to how things are at a fundamental level back on the Rez.

Ballantry Homes made large provincial campaign contribution to Ontario Proud NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — A proposed land developer for a housing project in Caledonia — one currently looking to make a deal with Six Nations — made a significant campaign contribution to a third-party organization ahead of the 2018 provincial elections. Ballantry Homes is listed as one of 17 corporations, each making a $10,000 contribution to Ontario Proud — a Facebook group turned pro-Conservative political action group. The group is a Facebook centric advertiser who used the platform to target voters with anti-Kathleen Wynne and pro-Doug Ford ads. The organization has been criticized by progressive media as far right leaning — one Canadaland investigation going so far as to say Ontario Proud was weaponizing Facebook

against Liberals. TRT discovered a number of Facebook posts shared on the platform permitting racist comments toward indigenous people with little to no monitoring. Comments included accusations that Indigenous people in Canada were lazy, corrupt, don’t have jobs and rely on social assistance. According to the Canadaland investigation, Ontario Proud owner Jeff Ballingall is revealed to be a former communications consultant who previously worked for Navigator as a crisis management for high profile clients like Jian Ghomeshi. Ballantry’s contribution comes after a provincial change in 2018 banning corporations from making donations to official campaign platforms. Nearly 90% of Ontario Proud’s contributions for the provincial election campaign came from corporate sources — the largest contribution of $100,000 came from developer Mattamy Homes. Six Nations Elected Chief

Ava Hill said in an email to TRT that she was not aware of the campaign contribution made by Ballantry and forwarded the information over to the Consultation and Accommodation Team (CAP) to do due diligence on the matter. Hill said she will share details of Ballantry’s campaign contribution with Elected Council to ensure councillors are informed on the matter. Hill told TRT final approval for the project has not been made yet, and says it will be decided following community consultations which are currently underway. Six Nations Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry told TRT background checks on potential developers seeking to engage with Six Nations is currently not the CAP team’s standard practice. TRT contacted Ballantry Homes for comment and did not receive a response by the time this story went to press.

First Nations claim Lake Huron, Georgian Bay as landmark trial starts CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — A broken Crown promise to forever protect Aboriginal lands is at the heart of a novel Indigenous claim to the waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, an Ontario court heard Thursday. The two First Nations groups who make up the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) say their traditional territory includes what is now the Bruce Peninsula and lands south stretching from Goderich, Ont., to Collingwood, Ont. The territory, they assert, includes much of the waters of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. ``They say they have a relationship with their territory for a thousand years,'' SON lawyer Roger Townshend said in opening comments. ``The issues before this court are about the relationship — historical and continued —that SON has to these lands and waters.'' The promise SON claims was broken came by way of a treaty in 1836, as European settlers arrived in increasingly large numbers. Under Treaty 45-1/2, SON gave up 600,000 hectares of prime

agricultural land south of Owen Sound, Ont. In return, SON asserts, the Crown promised to protect their interest in the Bruce Peninsula ``forever.'' ``The promise made and understood was to protect SON's unique and special interests in its territory,'' SON lawyer Cathy Guirguis said. ``The king would ensure no one stole the lands in question.'' However, just 18 years later in 1854 under Treaty 72, the Crown demanded surrender of the peninsula, Guirguis told Justice Wendy Matheson in a Toronto courtroom packed with Indigenous spectators and supporters on Thursday. Indigenous people, she said, had gone from being allies to ``obstacles to settlement.'' SON wants the court to recognize Aboriginal title to the offshore waters. It also wants the return of peninsula lands still owned by Canada or Ontario or otherwise not privately owned. Any compensation will be dealt with at a later phase of the trial. For their parts, the two governments maintain they have dealt with the First Nations fairly, have lived up to their treaty obligations, and deny Ab-

original title to the lands or waters exist. They want the claims thrown out. Speaking for the federal government, lawyer Michael Beggs said in his brief opening that the case was not about ``what happened 9,000 years ago.'' Nevertheless, he urged the court to keep the historical context firmly in mind. It was, he said, a time in Canada's history when rapid settlement was taking place and the legal system very different. Beggs also warned against taking a ``simplistic view of the various actors,'' saying it would be wrong to assume First Nations didn't know what was happening or what they were signing. The evidence, he said, will show that the Crown acted with honour, integrity and in good faith. ``It was a difficult set of circumstances that the parties were facing,'' he said. ``There are no bad guys.'' Similarly, Ontario lawyer David Feliciant said First Nations knew they were giving up the Bruce Peninsula in exchange for the proceeds as the lands were sold. They also knew their rights to hunt and fish would be displaced by the new owners, he said. ``The plaintiffs had

reasons to surrender the peninsula,'' Feliciant said. ``The lands were sold and the communities benefited from the funds. The Crown's honour was not stained.'' The case, which will likely take years, is already scheduled into the fall, with some of the hearings due to be held on SON territory. Witnesses will include numerous experts — including in Indigenous culture, anthropology, linguistics and history. Defendants include several municipalities, which see themselves as innocent victims in the dispute. Chief Lester Anoquot of Saugeen First Nation — one of the two groups that make up SON — said the issues were of profound importance. ``This trial is not only a watershed moment for SON seeking recognition of our rights, but also for Indigenous peoples and Aboriginal rights across Canada,'' Anoquot said in a statement. ``This is about legally recognizing how integral our waters are to us as Anishinaabe people.'' The trial was adjourned until Monday, when it will resume in Cape Croker, Ont.

the HCCC informing them of that decision. “There’s no action happening and we’ve got a significant development at risk that’s got greater than $100 million dollars in value for our community,” said Jamieson. Jamieson says there is approximately 2-4 weeks work of work to complete the line and says the Development Corporation is prepared to pursue legal means if necessary. “We’re hopeful that we don’t have to go down that road. Part of the plan here is we don’t want to pursue

an injunction that’s why we’re going back to work under the terms that we’re going back to work on now. We were hired to do the job we want to do the work,” said Jamieson. “If some folks show up and obstruct us from doing that job — and take the benefit of our community away from our citizens. We have an obligation to pursue all remedies to get access to the site and finish the work.” TRT sent requests to the HCCC and HDI for comment but did not recieve a response.

On Saturday, April 13, the Annual Grand River Leadership Prayer Breakfast was held at the Fisherville Lions Community Centre with more then 300 people in attendance. This was the twelfth year of the event, bringing together elected leaders from Haldimand County, the Six Nations and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations, as well as MP Diane Finley and MPP Toby Barrett. Time was spent in prayer for these leaders, as well as in support of those who serve as police, firefighters and paramedics. The speaker this year was Mr. Steve Fenton, Founder and President of Battlefield International Inc. in Cayuga. In quoting Steve’s own words, he considers himself an “imperfect Christian”! Entertainment was provided by 2009 Chevy Karaoke winner, Mr. Phil Botting and breakfast was served by the Fisherville

Lions Club. Chief Stacey R. LaForme referred to the breakfast as a “good way to bring different leaders together at a shared function where it’s not all about politics. It keeps us human.” Mayor Ken Hewitt was quoted as saying: “I am always delighted to be a part the prayer breakfast. It affords us the opportunity to share the challenges and successes of local business in a unified way with our neighbours Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit.” MPP Toby Barrett was also honoured to be guest yet again, and to join in prayer for wisdom, guidance and understanding. Chief Ava Hill of Six Nations shared these words of appreciation, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the individuals who organize the Grand River Leadership Prayer Breakfast every year. I was so happy to be in attendance this year and found the Breakfast to be very

well organized and well attended. I sincerely appreciate the kind words and prayers that were offered to all the leaders. It was very meaningful to me and gave me the inspiration to carry on with the work that I am doing. Thank you for including Six Nations in this annual event”. MP Diane Finley commented, “It’s incredibly heartwarming to see so many people of all different backgrounds coming together to pray for our local leaders, at all levels of government, including federal, provincial municipal and aboriginal band leaders. The organizers of the Grand River Leadership Prayer Breakfast always do a fantastic job with this event. Whether it’s the delicious breakfast from the Fisherville Lions or the engaging speakers, like Steve Fenton. This is an amazing event and is a key part of building community and strengthening relationships in our communities.”

HISTORY: Letter from Grand River Indian Agent wants a bigger Mohawk Institute

Check out this letter, sent to the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs in 1876. It’s a report by the Grand River Indian Agent, what at that time was ‘in charge’ of the Six Nations and Mississaugas Bands.

“GRAND RIVER SUPERINTENDENCY, BRANTFORD, 25th August, 1876, The Honorable The Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs, Ottawa. SIR, - In accordance with your circular of the 3rd July, I have the honor to, transmit statistics of the Indians and their possessions in this Superintendency. In doing so, I have to repeat much in my report of 1875, which, necessarily, was compiled after the harvest last fall; hereafter, the progress from year to year will be shown. Additional lands in various parts of the Reserve have been brought into cultivation, while other improvements are visible. The population of the Six Nations continues to increase: births, 128; deaths, 61; total number, 3,069; increase during thirteen years, 523; an average of 40 each year. The Mississagua Band numbers 204, a decrease of 2: births, 5; deaths, 6. The prospect of the crops was very favorable throughout the Reserve but the hot dry weather

caused much injury. Two hundred and forty-nine licenses have been issued during the year, to Indians only, for the removal of firewood some logs and a few staves. Much benefit has resulted from the wood law. The good work of the New England Company is zealously prosecuted by the reverend missionaries, and by means of eight Primary Schools under their superintendence, and that most excellent "Mohawk Institute," in charge of Mr. Ashton; also, by the Wesleyan Conference through their missionary and two schools; and the creditable example of the Mississigiuas who maintain two schools, in striking contrast with the apathy of the Six Nations, who still fail in their duty, because having always been provided with schools they have thought it unnecessary to contribute towards their support: they appear of late to be more sensible that they must now aid in the cause of education. Mr. Ashton, the Superintendent of the Mohawk Institute, reports 83 pupils in course of instruction, who, while there, are supported and clothed at the expense of the Company, and taught the ordinary branches and vocal music; the boys work a farm of 360 acres; the girls, the house-work,

First Nations leaders call for solution to Kashechewan flooding CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — First Nations leaders called on the Ontario and federal governments Monday to help relocate the community of Kashechewan as it deals with annual flooding — a problem one said would

have already been solved if it involved a non-Indigenous population. Communities in eastern and central Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are dealing with spring flooding — some with help from military members — but it's an issue for Kashechewan every year. The northern Ontario

community of 2,500 first flooded in 1976 and has been evacuated annually for the past several years while its members wait for the federal government to fulfil its promises to move them to a permanent new location. ``Both levels of government — Ontario and Canada — has allowed this to be normalized,'' said

Nishnawbe Aski Nation Deputy Grand Chief Derek Fox. ``I believe personally that if these were non-Native, non-First Nations people, action would have happened a lot sooner. I sincerely believe that.'' Federal Indigenous Services Minister Seamus O'Regan said he is committed to the relocation of Kashechewan.

``In the long term we are working closely with the community to achieve progress on vital aspects of relocation, including the transfer of provincial lands to Canada to be designated as reserve lands, working on an access road to the site, the extension of hydro services, a demographics exercise, and planning and design of the

new community,'' he said in a statement Monday. Ontario Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford said the province stands with Kashechewan in its call to the federal government for relocation. ``The federal government has constitutional jurisdiction with respect to reserve creation, and a moral obligation to provide the desperately needed long-term solution that the people of Kashechewan First Nation deserve,'' he said. ``The families and children of Kashechewan have a right to a safe and healthy community like every other Canadian.'' But NDP Leader Andrea Horwath noted that Ontario was part of a tripartite agreement signed in 2017, and said the situation is just as much Ontario's responsibility. ``Somebody needs to step up to the plate,'' she said. ``They can't simply point fingers at each other.'' Kashechewan Chief Leo Friday said the annual disruptions hurt the community's connection to the land and culture. ``Because we've been displaced and dislocated every spring, we lost a lot of our culture, traditions and teaching,'' he said. ``We can't even train our young generation how to harvest in the springtime. Even a lot of our young adults too are having a hard time calling geese, calling ducks and that's how it is when you don't live harmony with the land.'' The evacuations disrupt hunting seasons, and children's schooling, community members and Indigenous leaders said. ``We can only imagine, those of us who don't have to go through this, what it's like to leave our homes every single year, to go to a hotel in a strange city, to wait it out and hope that when we return our homes are still there, that our homes are intact, that our community is intact,'' said Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald. ``That's what this community goes through every year and has for the last 17 years.'' Community members are set to rally Tuesday on Parliament Hill.

Officials plan return of ancient remains removed from Alaska CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

ANCHORAGE — Residents of the remote chain of islands stretching out from southwest Alaska are planning to bring home indigenous remains removed from burial sites nearly a century ago. Officials on the Aleutian Islands are working on a three-year plan to recover and rebury the remains of more than 175 people from 11 islands that are being held by the Smithsonian Institution, the Anchorage Daily News reported last week. ``We have a responsibility to see that they are respectfully returned to where they came from,'' said Crystal Dushkin, cultural affairs director for the Atka tribe. ``We are their representatives.

There is no one else that can speak for them.'' Anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka removed many of the remains in the 1930s. Hrdlicka was the first curator of physical anthropology at what is now the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Some of the remains are up to 3,000 years old, according to researchers. While Hrdlicka contributed to science, he is viewed as a looter on the islands, said Virginia Hatfield, executive director of the Museum of the Aleutians on Unalaska. ``Everyone thought they could do what they wanted back then,'' Hatfield said. ``It was a different scientific standard.'' The tribe has the authority to bring back the remains under federal repatriation laws, said Mark Snigaroff, the tribe's

president. Officials plan to bury the remains of about 50 people on Shemya this summer. They plan to bury the rest on Amchitka and Atka in 2020 and 2021, Snigaroff said. The remains will receive a ceremony in the Russian Orthodox faith before they are buried, he said. ``Some of the remains have been above ground more than 100 years,'' Snigaroff said. ``It's time to put them to rest.'' The national museum is working with the tribe on the reburial effort, said Anna Torres, a museum spokeswoman.

Notice of Study Commencement Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study Highway 6 Caledonia By-Pass Reconstruction (G.W.P. 3076-12-00) and Bridge Rehabilitations (G.W.P. 3100-15-00)

FILE NAME: CH-19-0001_January_01-07_Print-Ad_We-Hear-You_Caledonia DATE: 01/08/19 CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK PROFILE:

THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained WSP Canada Group Limited (WSP) and Stantec Consulting Limited (Stantec) to undertake the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study for improvements to Highway 6 Caledonia By-Pass, from approximately 440 m south of the Argyle Street South junction to 315 m north of Highway 6 / Greens Road / County Road 66, and the rehabilitation of three Highway 6 bridges, within Haldimand County. The study area is shown on the key plan. The proposed works include the following: • Pavement reconstruction; • Roadside drainage improvements; • Culvert rehabilitation and/or replacements;

• Operational and safety improvements; and • Rehabilitation of Domtar Access Bridge, Stirling Street Bridge and 6th Line Bridge.

Single lane closures on Highway 6 will occur during the day and Highway 6 will be fully closed during the night for approximately three months in Year 1 construction and approximately six months in Year 2 construction. The nightly detour for cars will use Argyle Street in Caledonia to cross the Grand River and the detour for trucks will use River Road in York to cross the Grand River. Short and long duration lane and shoulder closures on the bridges will be required during rehabilitation. Traffic will be managed using temporary traffic signals. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2019. THE PROCESS Both projects will follow the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘C’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Group ‘C’ projects are considered approved, subject to compliance with the Class EA.

RETURNING TO THE CIRCLE OF TRADITION

GREETINGS! GREETINGS AND WELCOME TO THE THIRD EDITION OF GRAND ERIE’S INDIGENOUS EDUCATION NEWS INSERT What a busy time we’ve had in the Indigenous Education Department! We’ve undertaken a secondary education staff professional development day focused on Indigenous Education, secured two new pilot positions, Indigenous Cultural Mentors, for Hagersville Secondary School and McKinnon Park Secondary School, embarked on curriculum writing for the Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Voices course, along with all the regular business of the department. The transition activities for Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) students continues with the inclusion of Grade 7 students. Recently, The Right Fit activity was presented to all Grade 7 classes in both communities. This activity provides students the opportunity to reflect on their own learning interests and goals and

matches them with the secondary schools that will best fit their needs. To further enhance their secondary school information gathering, all Six Nations and MCFN Grade 7 students have the opportunity to tour their six Grand Erie Secondary School options: Brantford Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School, Tollgate Technological Skills Centre, Cayuga Secondary School, Hagersville Secondary School, and McKinnon Park Secondary School. Grand Erie provides bus transportation and lunch, and we hope students have a great learning experience to help them choose The Right Fit for their secondary school. For Grade 8 students, the final transition activity will be Shadow Day on May 10. Grade 8 students will visit the secondary school they are registered at for September 2019 and shadow a senior student for the day.

The program is built on the belief that culture is the catalyst for change. The goal of the Returning to the Circle of Tradition cultural mentorship program is to provide cultural learning opportunities to Indigenous secondary school students as a means to enhance their success in school and in their overall well-being. During the program, students learn about their culture through hands-on cultural learning activities. They also learn how to integrate cultural life skill teachings into their daily lives, and are introduced to community cultural supports to continue their learning. Working in partnership with Six Nations community member, Carmen Thomas, as the

It meets the Equity and Well-Being indicators of the Board’s Multi-Year Plan: We will promote practices that help students, families and staff feel safe, welcomed and included; and We will create environments that are healthy and that recognize the wellbeing of mind, body, emotion and spirit of students and staff.

The April 12 Professional Development (PD) day for secondary teachers was devoted to Indigenous Education. In the morning, over 600 teachers participated in a presentation on the vision and goals of the First Nations, Metis, Inuit Education Policy Framework and explored how it fits within Grand Erie’s MultiYear Plan and its focus on Equity as well as their own individual school improvement plans. As part of the presentation, teachers were asked to reflect on current practice in their schools and classrooms through an ‘Equity Walk’ focused on Indigenous Education. The ‘Equity Walk’ is a tool to help schools assess where they are at in terms of culturally responsiveness in their buildings and classrooms. It also assists with addressing gaps moving forward. The afternoon professional activities were optional for staff. The Indigenous Education

team organized five options for staff to choose from that included: Being an Ally in Education by Understanding the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action; Woodland Cultural Centre Virtual Residential School Survivor Tour and Speaker; Canada’s Dark Secret Documentary Viewing and Survivor Speaker; and the Grand Erie Blanket Exercise at Cayuga Secondary School and at Waterford District High School. Additionally, some schools organized their own professional development plans such as self-directed tours of the Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations communities, and a Goodminds.com site visit. This day solidified the foundation for future initiatives in Indigenous Education that are planned within Grand Erie. With increased professional learning related to Indigenous Education, the Board is able to further foster staff capacity and thereby further the work of Indigenous Education in a broader and deeper way to the success for every student.

TORONTO — Award-winning Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq is in line to add a lucrative literary prize to her list of accolades. Tagaq's debut ``Split Tooth,'' published by Viking Canada, is among the six books nominated for the $60,000 Amazon Canada First Novel Award. Oji-Cree storyteller and academic Joshua Whitehead made the short list for ``Jonny Appleseed'' (Arsenal Pulp Press), which made the 2018 Giller Prize long list alongside ``Split Tooth.'' Vancouver-based writer Ian Williams, who has also

earned acclaim for his poetry, is in the running for ``Reproduction,'' published by Penguin Random House Canada. Other contenders include Liz Harmer's ``The Amateurs'' (Knopf Canada), ``Little Fish'' by Casey Plett (Arsenal Pulp Press) and ``Searching for Terry Punchout'' (Invisible Publishing) by Tyler Hellard. The prize is co-presented by Amazon and the Walrus Foundation. In previous years, winners received $40,000, but this year's grand prize has been upped to $60,000. Each finalist will receive $6,000. The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Toronto on May 22. Established in 1976, previous winners of the

ALBUQUERQUE — Kyleigh Farmer, the 2017/2018 Miss Six Nations, made the journey to New Mexico to compete in the 2019 Miss Indian World Competition with the support of her family, friends and community with the winner announced in the evening of Saturday, April, 27. She returned with the 2019 Miss Congeniality Award. Being congenial means to act with geniality and geniality is a type of behaviour that is kind and compassionate. Within in a competition such as Miss Indian World, Miss Congeniality is usually determined by the votes of the other contestants, who select the girl or woman that they regard as having

the most pleasant and kind presence among the competitors. Thus, the award is not only difficult to earn, it is an honour. After the competition, Farmer took to Facebook to post kind words: “The journey here was quite beautiful and I’m so grateful for this experience! To the youth who came into my path before and during this journey: I’m really excited for you because being around my seventeen new sisters - I know you will be well taken care of and our people will be supported, nurtured, educated and loved by the women I met this week. To my family, community and all that support me: thank you so much - from the bottom of my heart, I am me because of you! It means everything to me to have been embraced by such love, friendship and

encouragement! I’m so happy to have found sisters in the contestants! Everyone who crossed my path this week had such beautiful words and energy. I was chosen by my sisters as the one who embodies and expresses the qualities of miss congeniality - but really, we all did during the week. We laughed, cried, prayed, hugged and formed a sisterhood that’ll last a lifetime. My number one goal was to make my family, people, community, ancestors and youth proud - I did the best I could and even made myself proud in the process. Thank you everyone - for everything and everything I did this week was because of all the support, love and positivity of others. All the best to the new Miss Indian World, I know you will represent all of us very well!”

SIX NATIONS — Aside from their overtime win versus the Windsor Clippers, the Six Nations Rebels have been performing their usual ten-point-lead wins during regular season games. On Thursday, April 25, the Rebels took to London turf to face the Blue Devils where they tossed them aside in a match that ended 19-4. Top point earners for the game were Chayton King and Sidney Powless (2g,2a), Wesley Whitlow (3g,2a) and Marshall Powless (5g,5a). Following with their third home game the next evening, the Rebels welcomed the Owen Sound North Stars to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena Friday night.

as Marshall Powless rag in a hat trick, followed by Chayton King and Austin Giles with seconds, and Sidney Powless with his first. The third period allowed for only one goal to come from the Stars, as the Rebels continued to increase their 14-4 lead. Chayton King and Austin Giles came through with hat trick goals, while Sidney Powless earned two for his own hat trick. Meanwhile, Weylon Abrams went for a hatty and Marshall Powless scored his fourth and the final unassisted with two minutes left. This closed the game 20-6 and earned the Rebels their fifth consecutive win. Their next home game will host the London Blue Devils on home soil this coming Friday at 8 p.m., at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

SIX NATIONS — Opening their regular season at the Gaylord Powless Arena, the Six Nations Rivermen took out the KW Velocity with a game winning score that reached out of the teens. The first period gave the Velocity a lead: as goals came from Joe Maracle Jr., and two from Wayne Hill, but were matched by three buries and an extra from KW by the end. This opened the second period with the Rivermen looking to make up as two minutes in, Riley Johnson buried a single from Rayce Vyse and Jake Bomberry. Quickly thereafter, Tom Montour earned his first, and Rayce Vyse earned one unassisted before the Velocity made a single answer. This assault was followed by goals from Marty Hill, Jake Bomberry and

Last season, the Rivermen defeated KW with a score of 6-4 in their first match up, with a final match up score by the end of the season 129. Although KW closed this game with the last goal, they left defeated with a final of 22-8 for the Rivermen showing improvement as they look to reclaim and return the Presidents Cup title to Six Nations. Top point earners for the game included Wesley Whitlow (6a), Race Vyse (3g,3a), and Wayne Hill and Greg Longboat Jr., (3g,4a).

CALEDONIA — With the women’s lacrosse season beginning in early June, teams have been hosting initial try-outs over the past month. This includes the Grand River Attack, who will be co-hosting this year’s women’s provincials in August with the Hamilton Lady Bengals. Their final try-out took place in Caledonia on Tuesday evening, and a loaded roster full of skill, experience and speed is expected to defend the Attacks three-time provincial championship title. PHOTO BY DAVE LAFORCE

Recent Sabres defensemen Brandon Montour was chosen among 22 players for the Team Canada roster by Hockey Canada to embark on the challenge of representing in the World Championship Tournament that will take place in Slovakia. The announcement was made earlier on Monday that Montour will be joining Sabres winger Sam Reinhart, as Sabres General Manager Jason Botteril is running Canada’s entry with Ron Hextall and Ron Francis. This will be Montours first time representing the country in international play, but he was selected as one of the Sabres few bright spots following his trade back in February. Despite the Sabres’ seasonal game struggles, he acclimated nicely to the new team, compiling three goals and 10 points in 20 games and averaging 21 minutes of ice time in an outing.

Perhaps playing for Canada will help Montour reignite a winning streak for himself. The Ducks and Sabres endured rough years as his teams only won 26 games with him this season. Yet, Montour was outstanding following his trade. He had three goals with seven assists and a minus-4 rating in 20 games. As well, the Sabres had a 5-on-5 shot-attempt differential of 54.53 with Montour on the ice, and he bolstered the performance of every defensive partner he was paired with.

In life I love you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart I hold a place that only you can fill.” In loving memory of Grant Xavier Hill. (April 30, 2017).
