TORONTO — A film about the killing of Colten Boushie has won a top prize at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Tasha Hubbard's ``We Will Stand Up'' has won the best Canadian feature documentary award, which comes with a $10,000 cash prize.
Boushie was 22-yearsold when he was shot to death in 2016. A jury acquitted farmer Gerald Stanley of second-degree murder in 2018 after he testified his gun went off accidentally as he was trying to scare off young people on his property. The Hot Docs jury said the film ``has created a lasting document that brings together past and future to illuminate oppression and resilience.''

SIX NATIONS — So thinks, the 2014 Minto Cup champs and President of the Six Nation Arrows Jr. A Lacrosse Club, Lewis Staats. The Arrows are hosting their first benefit poker tournament this Saturday. Staats says there is a $200.00 entry fee to play for a 50/50 split with the Arrows and a 1:00 p.m. start at the Gathering Place by the Grand, 2593 Chiefswood Road. The tournament is sanctioned by the Six Nations Gaming Commission. Poker’s popularity experienced an unprecedented spike at the beginning of the 21st century, largely because of the introduction of online poker and hole-card cameras, which turned the game into a spectator sport. Not only could viewers now follow the action and drama of the game on television, they could also play the game in the comfort of their own home. Broadcasts of poker tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour brought in huge audiences

Because of the increased coverage of poker events, poker pros became celebrities, with fans all over the world entering into tournaments for the chance to compete with them.

SNEC pushes back on claim they are “not working with the chiefs” Council publishes chronology of 22 attempts to initiate working relationship with HCCC STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council published a two page statement and three page chronology to it’s Facebook page on Tuesday evening, outlining their efforts to come together with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council. SNEC Communications Director Nathan Wright told TRT the statement was intended as information direct from the council to the people of Six Nations in an effort to go on the public record and clarify how SNEC has made numerous attempts to communicate with the HCCC. “Since 2013, the Six Nations Elected Council has demonstrated its willingness to work with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council on a host of issues for the benefit of the community. These good faith efforts
include a few face to face interactions, letters and emails requesting a regular forum to meet and an agreement on agenda items,” said the statement. The chronology outlines 22 instances between December 2013 and February 2019 where SNEC outlines communication attempts made that were insubstantial, ignored, or met with hostility. Burtch Dispute The statement says SNEC and the HCCC entered in to a Memorandum of Understanding in April 2018 to work together to find a solution to issues surrounding Burtch, a tract of land that was returned to Six Nations from the Province of Ontario. The land was transferred to a trust, held by the Elected Council. The HCCC ignored that transfer of ownership and instead, declared authority over the property and leased it to a tobacco farmer from Six Nations, Kris Hill. Hill has been politically involved with
the HCCC for a number of years leading HCCC’s efforts to draft their own tobacco legislation. When SNEC delivered notice that Hill’s farming activity on the property had to halt and sought an injunction — the HCCC agreed to pay her legal bills if she continued to uphold their lease and ignore that injunction. Hill ultimately lost the legal battle that followed and the HCCC ended up paying over $150,000 in costs to the SNEC. According to HCCC’s monthly meeting minutes, the Chiefs have also paid hundreds of thousands in Hill’s legal fees for that case. They are now being countersued by the SNEC for damages somewhere in the range of $500,000 to $1 million. Now SNEC says the HCCC wrote to them in February 2019 telling them to stop “the persecution of their lessee (Kristine Hill) and dropping the costs that have been ordered to be paid to SNEC by their lessee.
HCCC also asked SNEC to return the payments that have already been made to SNEC and to stop moving forward with the claim for damages. HCCC also stated that “no one will have access to the Burtch Land for agricultural or other purposes.”” SNEC and HCCC meet According to the chronology, a meeting of the HCCC and SNEC was organized for December 2018. The meeting was supposed to focus on “drugs, suicide, bullying, cannabis and violence in the community.” HCCC told SNEC that they are too “come under the HCCC”, that “HCCC wants to assume jurisdiction of education, health, membership, etc,.” in addition to the HCCC’s assertion that it governs 8 points of jurisdiction on the territory. SNEC says just six out of the 50 hereditary chief titles were present at that meeting, where SNEC was told they “should politically step aside.” SNEC said no process
was given by HCCC as to how the people of Six Nations would be involved in that demand. NRL work stops SNEC says further complications arose when HCCC sent Colin Martin, the director of the HCCC’s financial corporation to deliver a cease and desist letter to A6N workers on the Niagara Reinforcement Line. According to the chronology, Martin and Todd Williams delivered a cease and desist letter to the workers at the Niagara Reinforcement Line. SNEC says Martin and Williams told A6N workers if they did not stop construction they would return with “lots of people”. “When [A6N] workers returned to work on April 29, 2019, supporters of the HCCC delivered a similar ‘cease and desist’ letter. The work to complete the line was a result of community engagement on the line which led to an agreement between Hydro One and the Six Nations Economic Development
Corporation,” reads the statement from SNEC. “The resulting agreement provided for a revenue sharing arrangement for the Community but also included jobs for Six Nations workers, through the Six Nations Aecon joint venture, A6N. The Six Nations Development Corporation reports that the line was nearing completion and the community stands to lose approximately $500K in revenues on top of the jobs lost for Six Nations workers. The Six Nations Elected Council supports the Development Corporation’s call to lift the “cease and desist” letter so the line can be completed.” In it’s statement SNEC says the chronology “accurately outlines the efforts of the Six Nations Elected Council,” and says SNEC remains “open to finding ways and means of working together and ensure we have a safe place for dialogue and a mechanism that leads to solutions."

Mother and four kids dead in fire in northern Ontario First Nation STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A mother and four of her children were killed in a house fire on a northern Ontario First Nation on Thursday, leaving the remote community struggling to deal with the tragedy. There was no immediate word on what caused the early morning fire on the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation, located about 600 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ont. Chief Donny Morris said every member of the community of roughly 1,000 was affected. ``We are in utter disbelief,'' he said in a statement. ``Today, our community mourns this tragic loss.'' Sam McKay, a spokesman for the chief and council, said the victims of the fire were a single mother and four of her children _ aged six, seven, nine and 12. The woman had another older daughter who was away when the blaze broke
out, he said, adding that three of her children were adopted. ``Most everybody is in shock right now,'' he said in a telephone interview from the community that is also known as Big Trout Lake. ``It's devastating.'' RoseAnne Archibald, Ontario Regional Chief of the Chiefs of Ontario, said others must act as the community grieves. ``As I continue to reflect on this tragic situation, it is with a sad heart that I realize that this preventable and unnecessary tragedy is affecting yet again another First Nation community,'' she said in an statement. ``While we mourn now, we will be looking to seek solutions, with all parties to prevent any future unnecessary deaths of First Nations citizens due to fire.'' Archibald also said she had been in touch with Morris, who had asked community members not to post pictures of the fire or speculate on its cause on social media. Provincial police are investigating, along with members of the province's

TWO ROW TIMES
WINNIPEG — A Crown prosecutor says a Winnipeg man on trial for killing an Indigenous woman committed a ghastly crime, while the defence says he did not mean to cause her harm. Brett Overby, who is 32, has admitted to causing the death of 21-year-old Christine Wood, but says he did not intend to kill her. Overby has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder but his lawyers are asking a jury for a
manslaughter verdict, arguing that he reacted after Wood came at him with a knife. During closing arguments, the Crown says Wood was slaughtered. Prosecutors pointed to evidence that her throat was cut, she was stabbed multiple times and her blood was all over Overby's basement. Wood was reported missing after she travelled to Winnipeg from Oxford House First Nation in northern Manitoba in the summer of 2016. Her body was found 10 months later in a ditch near a farmer's field just outside the city.

``Our prayers are with the victims, their families and the entire community during this difficult time,'' Fiddler said in a statement. Both federal and provincial politicians offered their condolences. ``I offer my support in this time of unbelievable grief,'' MP Bob Nault said in a written statement. ``In
the coming days, I know community members will bring strength and support to each other as they work to overcome this tragedy.'' Provincial NDP Leader Andrea Horwath issued a joint statement with the community's representative at Queen's Park, Sol Mamakwa, saying they joined with the people
of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug in their grief. ``Our thoughts and our hearts are with the surviving family members, their friends, and the community,'' they said. ``We hope they find solace and strength in community, and feel an outpouring of love from across the province.''

Political gaslighting creates illusion we are divided, not diverse
Moving Forward By Janet Marie Rogers
Six Nations Elected Council made a bit of a power move this week publishing a 7 year chronology of it’s attempts to engage with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council. The details are embarrassing for the people of Six Nations. What emerges looks like the HCCC’s repeated attempts to obstruct anything the SNEC is attempting to put forward — with the justification that they do not want their political positioning to be “under” the elected council. How in the world did we get this way? In fact, are we this way at all? Taking time to look back into the public record is revealing. It seems all of this “division” and “infighting” is starting to look a lot more like just plain old bigotry. The dictionary definition of bigotry is “intolerance to those who hold different opinions from oneself”. Words are tricky, and if you are distracted by aggression and half-truths it is very easy to get lost in these disputes between the HCCC and SNEC. But it is important to remember who we are as Haudenosaunee people and the peace our ancestors made in light of their differences and traumas. In fact, it is maybe even more important for us to remember that we are all just plain old humans on the planet earth —each with distinct brains, and thoughts and responsibilities that don’t require us to pick a political “side”. The dictionary definition of “divided” means, cut into parts or pieces. So are we really divided? Or are we just not respecting the diverse thoughts and opinions of the people that make up our huge band membership. Is this all truly “infighting”? Or are we all getting so freaked out because the radicals on either perspective of certain issues in this community are making so much noise about it, and fighting about it so viciously in the form of personal attacks and measuring how Indian the other person is — that the political environment is now unsafe for those of us looking to find peaceful and practical solutions? This is called gaslighting my friends. And we have definitely entered that phase of the election year. The mission of political gaslighting usually goes like this: identify your enemy and their platform, flip the script and loudly change the narrative so it becomes so extreme that two “sides” emerge and make it so uncomfortable for your enemy that everyone neutral or sup-
portive backs away for fear of getting targeted themselves or inflicting more harm on the person being targeted. When the person being targeted speaks out about what is happening to them— they are often cornered and tormented into an emotional reaction. Gaslighters will then flip the script again and use the target’s emotional reaction as “proof” they are being harmed by an out of control emotionally unhinged person. The end goal is silencing people’s individual truths. Something else is emerging in recent weeks that is frightening: a group of devout individuals standing in blind faith that only one worldview of politics at Six Nations is morally upstanding — to follow the HCCC. What if my decolonization doesn’t look at all like yours? That has to be okay in order for us to have a healthy and active democracy. SNEC represents some people’s belief in what is best for Six Nations. Likewise, there are other families on Six Nations who truly have faith that the HCCC should govern the community — but not at the cost of silencing, humiliating and tormenting people who believe otherwise. When an organized and radical group of people emerges operating on blind faith, moral rightness and “intolerance to those who hold different opinions from oneself” — suddenly you find yourself standing in front of a monster. Be wise. A little bit of tolerance, bravery that the radical groups don’t speak for the whole, and a decision to actively put your voice out there on the critical issues that lie before us as a community will make all the difference for the faces yet to come.

How compassion can triumph over toxic childhood trauma By Sheri Madigan, Nicole Racine, and Suzanne Tough, University of Calgary In a recent piece on the television show 60 Minutes, Oprah Winfrey discussed childhood trauma _ shining a public spotlight on the lasting effects of abuse and adversity in childhood. Oprah herself is a survivor of childhood abuse. Adverse childhood experiences, commonly called ACEs, include witnessing verbal or physical conflict between parents and having a parent with a mental illness or substance-abuse issue. They also include parent separation, divorce and incarceration and the experience of neglect or abuse (sexual, physical or emotional) as a child. ACEs are common. Approximately 60 per cent of the general population report experiencing at least one before the age of 18. More than eight per cent of the population report experiencing four or more ACEs. Research has consistently found that the more adverse childhood experiences a person has, the greater their risk for later health problems. Our research group investigates how ACEs affect women's physical and psychological health in pregnancy. We study how adversities are ``inherited''
or passed from parent to child, as well as how the risks of ACEs in pregnant women can be reduced. Our latest finding suggests that when mothers who have experienced ACEs feel supported by the people around them, their risk of having pregnancy complications is substantially reduced. In essence, feeling supported by friends and family can counteract the negative effects of having ACEs. From liver disease to early death Adverse childhood experiences increase the risks of many health challenges later in life. These include mental health problems like depression, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide attempts. They also include health risk behaviours, such as smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and obesity, as well as diseases like heart, lung and liver disease. For example, an individual who has experienced four or more ACEs is four times more likely to experience a mental health problem than someone who has not. People with a high number of ACEs may even be at risk for early death. Toxic stress and the body When children are exposed to abuse and adversity, they experience heightened levels of
stress without a strong support system to help them through these difficult experiences. This is often referred to as ``toxic stress.'' This stress is different from the tolerable types of stress that can help with development _ such as learning to make new friends, going to a new school or taking a test. Experiencing high levels of toxic stress during abusive or traumatic experiences can alter how our brain and body process future experiences and stressful events. Toxic stress impacts how we think and learn. How does this happen? Toxic stress can cause excessive ``wear and tear'' on the body. It primes our system to be hyper-sensitive to stressors. This wear and tear builds up over time and can lead to both physical and mental health problems throughout our life. When adults become parents, the effects that ACEs have had on their own body, mind and behaviour can influence how they experience their pregnancy and their pregnancy health. It can affect how they are able to interact with, and care for, their children. Babies with developmental delays In our work, we've shown that mothers who
experience a higher number of ACEs are more likely to have gestational diabetes and hypertension. They are also more likely to deliver a baby who is born too small or too soon or needs intensive care. Even if the baby is born full term, children born to mothers with ACEs are at risk of developmental delay. For each additional maternal ACE, there is an 18 per cent increase in the risk that their child will be identified as delayed. Ultimately, we have found that the effects of adversity can be passed down from one generation to the next. However, with the right supports in place, our work also reveals that mothers can show remarkable resilience to adversity. Compassion is protective What helps promote resilience in the face of stress and adversity? How do we help families triumph over past experiences? For some, even just being aware of how past adversities and traumas can impact their current functioning, including physical and mental health, is an important first step. This can start the road to recovery. Some people may benefit from additional counselling and professional support to launch them into a brighter future. For others, it's the com-
passionate response they receive when they talk to someone about their early experiences. Oprah Winfrey and others have wisely encouraged people to replace saying ``what's wrong with you?'' with ``what happened to you?'' _ to allow for a more compassionate and understanding approach to individual experiences, including trauma and adversity. Oprah describes her main protective factor from adversity as school, and pinpoints certain teachers who encouraged her intellectually and creatively. School and caring teachers helped her to feel valued and gave her a sense of belonging, helping heal the emotional wounds of abuse. How to foster resilience Supportive relationships are indeed a key ingredient for change. Support from friends, family, spouses or neighbours can boost the quality and security of life for people. Community supports also matter. For example, our work suggests that when women participate in low-cost community programs and recreation, such as story time at the library, and when they can be encouraged to develop or engage in social support networks, their children do better. Investing in families
with young children makes financial sense too. Strategies that help new parents develop supports and parenting skills have a particularly high return on investment _ improving outcomes for parents, children and their families and avoiding later, higher-cost interventions. Whether we have been affected by ACEs or not, we can all play a role in fostering resilience by being the buffering support to our friends, family members and neighbours. Using a trauma-informed approach to patient care, health professionals can also play a central role simply by supporting and listening to patients burdened by childhood adversity. The silver lining is that ACEs don't define who we are or who we can become. With supports, people who have endured ACEs can achieve emotional and physical well-being. It is compelling to realize that many people struggling with past adversity can identify support from teachers, neighbours, spouses and friends as instrumental in overcoming their adversities. Each and every one of us can help make a difference in someone's life. This article was originally published on The Conversation.

LIHUE, Hawaii — Statues of past island royalty will soon begin their reign in front of a Hawaii museum. Life-sized, bronze statues of the last king and queen of Kauai and Niihau were expected to be unveiled in a ceremony Saturday at the Kauai Museum in Lihue, The Garden Island reported Friday. The museum and archive on the eastern side of Kauai focuses on the indigenous and immigrant people of the two islands. Kauai residents Billy and Luella Lemn conceived the idea and Billy Lemn produced the drawings of King Kaumualii and Queen Deborah Kapule that are being used as a basis for the life-sized statues by Chris O'Conner of Kauai. Including O'Conner as the designer was key to the project because he is one of only two artists in the state who creates bronze statues, said museum director Chucky Boy Chock. Prototypes will stand in while O'Conner completes construction of the monuments. Chock believes the project will generate interest in local history while
honouring great island leaders. ``The educational component is the most valuable piece in this,'' he said. The statues will be welcoming while providing an educational entry point, Luella Lemn said. ``I realized a lot of kids had no clue as to the history of their island or of Hawaii,'' the former teacher said. Kaumualii was a strong but kind ruler, according to Billy Lemn, who said the project's intent is to leave a sense of Kaumualii's presence and remind visitors that ``at one time this was a kingdom, ruled by kings.''

Former police chief sentenced for village corporation theft FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A former Fort Yukon police chief convicted of stealing $112,000 from the village's Native corporation a decade ago has been sentenced to a year in prison. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports 66-year-old Zelma Fairchild also was ordered to pay restitution. She was convicted in May 2018 of stealing from the Gwitchyaa Zee
Corp. when she worked as manager. Alaska State Troopers determined Fairchild used stolen money to buy a $32,000 vehicle and vacations to Florida and Hawaii. She received a $29,800 payment labeled ``retro pay'' after she left. The theft left the village corporation unable to pay dividends to 800 shareholders from 2009-11.

B.C. Appeal Court says American Indigenous man has right to hunt in Canada CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
VANCOUVER — The British Columbia Court of Appeal has upheld an American Indigenous man's right to hunt in Canada because his ancestors traditionally did so. Richard Desautel was
originally charged under the Wildlife Act with hunting without a licence and hunting big game while not a resident of B.C. after he shot and killed an elk near Castlegar in 2010. Desautel, a member of the Lakes Tribe in Washington state, argued in provincial court that he was exercising his constitutional right to hunt for
ceremonial purposes. The Lakes Tribe was described in court as a ``successor group'' to the Sinixt people, who lived, hunted and gathered in B.C.'s Kootenay region prior to first contact with European settlers. The B.C. Supreme Court confirmed his right in 2017 and the Appeal Court reaffirmed it in a
ruling released Thursday. In dismissing the Crown's appeal on behalf of a three-judge panel, Justice Daphne Smith says hunting in what is now B.C. was a central and significant part of the Sinixt's distinctive culture before European contact and remains integral to the Lakes Tribe. ``The Lakes Tribe is a
modern collective descended from the Sinixt that has continued to hunt and maintained its connection to its ancestral lands in British Columbia. Mr. Desautel is a member of the Lakes Tribe. Therefore, he has an Aboriginal right to hunt elk in the Sinixt's traditional hunting territory in British Columbia,'' the ruling says.

The Crown had argued in its appeal that Canada's constitutional protection of Aboriginal and treaty rights should not extend to non-residents. It argued that words matter, pointing out that the constitution recognizes the rights of ``Aboriginal peoples of Canada.'' That term can only mean contemporary rights-holding Aboriginal community members who are residents in or citizens of Canada, it said. The Crown also warned of broader consequences that would come with granting Desautel the right to hunt. An expanded interpretation of the right could extend the Crown's duty to consult and accommodate Aboriginal groups in the United States, which may be incompatible with American law, the prosecution argued at the appeal. It claimed affirming Desautel's hunting rights in B.C. would also imply a right to cross the international border and that would be incompatible with Canadian sovereignty. But the Appeal Court found it unnecessary to consider Desautel's socalled ``mobility rights'' across the border, or the consequences for consultation, when ruling on his claim. ``Aboriginal rights are inherent rights that existed at the time of contact. What flows from those rights continues to evolve,'' the ruling says, adding that those concerns are ``not material'' to the central question of whether or not Desautel can hunt in Canada. The decision says the Aboriginal and treaty rights recognized in the constitution involve recognizing Indigenous perspectives on pre-contact and present-day customs alongside the Crown's needs to meet the interests of modern-day Canada. An ongoing custom or practice that's central and significant to an Indigenous culture may be exercised if the Indigenous person or group can show they are descended from a historic group that exercised the same one, the ruling says.

Court to hear tribe's appeal in predatory loan lawsuit CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
RICHMOND, VA — A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit accusing a small Native American tribe in Michigan of running a predatory loan scheme. At least five people from Virginia say they
borrowed from BigPictureLoans.com after receiving an enticing loan pitch. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports the lawsuit alleges that Big Picture violated Virginia's usury laws by charging annual percentage rates in some cases of more than 600 per cent. The Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is being asked to
decide whether the loan operation is an extension of the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, which is entitled to sovereign immunity from lawsuits, or whether the tribe is essentially a front for outsiders controlling and profiting from the business. Arguments are scheduled for Tuesday.
Crisis line needed for victims of coerced sterilization: senator OTTAWA — An Ontario senator is calling on the federal government to fund a crisis line for victims of coerced and forced sterilization to ensure traumatized women can access assistance. Yvonne Boyer says her office has received numerous calls and e-mails from victims seeking help. She says she has also been approached by vic-
tims during recent travels and stresses that a help line must be operated by an outside organization to ensure individuals feel comfortable reaching out. Last week, Indigenous Services Minister Seamus O'Regan told the Senate that forced and coerced sterilization amounts to a violation of human rights, adding it is ``deeply troubling'' the practice could
happen in Canada. He pointed to a working group of federal, provincial and territorial officials created to improve ``cultural safety and health systems'' — words he didn't specifically define. Boyer says the issue is about stopping sterilizations of women without their consent, not improving cultural practices in health care.

Ontario First Nation where 5 died in blaze says it has no way of fighting fires A northern Ontario First Nation where a mother and four of her children died in a house fire this week has no means or equipment to fight fires, a spokesman said Friday as the community grappled with its loss. Sam McKay, spokesman for the chief and council of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation, said the community about 600 kilometres north of Thunder Bay has a fire truck that doesn't work,
a fire hall that was never completed and no fire hoses. There are fire hydrants in some parts of the community of roughly 1,000, but not everywhere, he said. At times, the community has used drinking water delivered there by truck to combat flames but that's not enough to put them out, he said. ``When there's a fire, you pretty much stand and look at the building burn and make sure there's
nobody there,'' he said. ``At this time we were very unfortunate that we lost five people.'' Thursday's fatal fire happened around 3 or 4 a.m. so no one was around to help at first, McKay said, though some rescue attempts were made later. Three people were airlifted to hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation and other injuries after they tried to go into the burning home, he said. Seamus O'Regan, the
federal minister of Indigenous services, expressed his condolences in a tweet Thursday evening and said his department was working to provide assistance to the community. McKay has said the victims of the fire were a single mother and four of her children _ aged six, seven, nine and 12. Her older daughter was away at the time and survived, he said. A prayer vigil was held at the site Friday morning at the request of the family
before police began their investigation, he said. Ontario's fire marshal's office, coroner's office and forensic pathology service have also been dispatched to the community. The Nishnawbe Aski Nation, which represents a collection of Indigenous communities in northwestern Ontario, has said a team of crisis and support workers would also be sent there. The fire has had a ``devastating'' impact on the
community but residents are rallying to support the victims' grieving family, McKay said. ``They just can't really function at this moment and that's where everybody comes in to provide support in the home, to make sure that they eat, be able to not get dehydrated and stuff like that because they're in total shock,'' he said. There was no immediate word on what caused the blaze.

Indigenous representation done right: Netflix’s Chambers CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A show inspired by a ghost story featuring Native American characters would typically have many at home rolling their eyes, as it is easy to expect to see nothing short of a take on the Wendigo or hauntings from “ancient burial grounds” with sub-par acting, feathers and sage gracing the screen. However, within Netflix’s Chambers, there is not a Wendigo or ancient burial ground in sight. Instead, viewers are met by a young couple that are reminiscent of a young Selena Quintanilla-Perez and Chris Perez, who are named Sasha Yazzie, played by Sivan Alyra Rose and TJ Lochlear, played by Griffin Powell-Arcand.
Chambers is a Netflix horror story featuring strong Indigenous leads.
On their first night spent together, Yazzie has a heart attack that nearly kills her and she is carried to the hospital by her long-time boyfriend Locklear. Normally, without health insurance and
coming from a low-income family, Yazzie would be at the very bottom of the donor list. But her uncle signs a waiver for an unwanted heart to be transplanted and paid for by people that chose to

remain anonymous. The reasons are revealed as the story develops, while Yazzie survives
and heals. But increasingly strange events begin to occur that she can’t help but link to her donor heart. Featuring television’s first ever Native American leads in a show, Leah Rachel’s Chambers takes us on a nightmare ride as Yazzie and her allies try to find out more about the disturbing origins of her new heart. Besides the fact that this is the first time a show has ever featured Native American leads, what’s also notable about Chambers is that the entirety of the top-billed cast are people of colour. Uma Thurman as Nancy LeFevre and Tony Goldwyn appearing in credits as supporting stars even though they share equal
screentime with everyone else. The show also shines a light on health care being a real issue within the indigenous spectrum, as prescriptions and more cause Yazzie’s uncle to spiral downward in the fight to provide for her. From its issues of consent, the perils of cultural displacement, cultural appropriation, forced assimilation, colonization, the ghosts of Indigenous genocide, and so much more all the way through the 10 hours of Indigenous representation on screen, Chambers is not just the way forward for more inclusive horror stories. Chambers is a new gold standard.

Stellar cast, strong direction in Cliff Cardinal’s new dark comedy ’Too Good To Be True’ GARY FARMER
garytroublemaker@gmail.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — ‘Too Good To Be True’ is a hilarious 70 minute tour de force of Indian survival at it’s best. The show is written and directed by Cliff Cardinal, and is led by Cheri Maracle (Mohawk, Six Nations) as Maria Grace — a beautiful fabulist and dauntless mom on the lam with her teenage children; Lisa Grace, played by Patti Shaughnessy (Ojibway, Curve Lake First Nation) and Jude Grace, played by Ryan Cunningham (Cree, Michel First Nation). As the police close in on the suspected vigilante, Maria borrows an empty house and holds a last supper with her budding son and pregnant daughter. Maria Grace is a potential sex worker and her daughter Lisa Grace is suffering an unwanted pregnancy by a boyfriend her mother has murdered by chopping him up with her Swiss army knife — you can’t help but laugh. Maria’s would be son,
Cheri Maracle from Six Nations is just one of the great cast members of Too Good To Be True, a dark comedy playing in a Toronto theatre. PHOTO SUBMITTED
Jude Grace, whom we are not sure if he is adopted or not, adds in some sibling rivalry as he seeks Maria’s attention. The theatrical style is a cross of the ‘Punch & Judy’ parody-like style of traditional of production company ‘VIDEOCAB’ shows over the last 30 years and the superfluous lifestyle of the Bundy’s in a ‘Married With Children’ episode from the late 80’s.
The play is a metaphor for the human challenges or sub-human existence we must endure under the rule of thumb from church and state. The show boasts some stark and lingering writing and direction by Cardinal, charming costume design by fashion monger Sage Paul (Dene) and fun props by Shadowland. All of this combined with grandstanding perfor-
mances from the entire cast—seasoned theatre workers the lot of them. This is a must see performance in an intimate setting on a lonely street in the big city. Videocabaret’s new black-box theatre at 10 Busy Street is a small jewel of a theatre. The sky lit atelier is arrayed with costume materials, mannequins, sewing machines and
work tables for the makers of costumes, wigs and props. Cardinal was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to iconic Canadian actress Tantoo Cardinal; he is a graduate of the National Theatre School in Montreal, a veteran of many stages and screens, and has played his music on three continents.
Accused killer says he blacked out WINNIPEG — A man accused of killing an Indigenous woman in Manitoba says he blacked out before realizing she was dead on his basement floor. Brett Overby, who is 32, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 21-year-old Christine Wood. Wood had travelled to Winnipeg from Oxford House First Nation in northern Manitoba in the summer of 2016. She was staying with her parents in a hotel when she met Overby through a dating website. Her body was found nearly a year later in a ditch outside the city. Overby has testified that Wood was pressuring him to have sex without a condom and came at him with a knife. He told a jury that she somehow ended up in a pool of blood on the floor and he never intended to hurt or kill her.
Inuvaluit woman plays lead in rebooted series By Chezney Martin Jordan Peele has become one of the largest names in pop culture. His latest entry into the film world, Us, has turned out to be just as large of a phenomenon as his first instalment Get Out. Both films have offered audiences non-franchise concepts, which was believed by the movie industry to not be impossible anymore. This is why it was fitting to find that Peele would be tackling the reboot of The Twilight Zone, from the original black-and-white weekly anthology. This is also why it would be fitting for Peele to cast Marika Sila, a hoop dancer, motivational speaker and budding actress originally from Tuktoyaktuk, in the North
West Territories to a lead role in one of the episodes. She received the email that she was chosen as the lead character of an episode of the rebooted series while at the gym, and it provoked an emotional response. Its fourth episode, called "The Traveler" — starring Sila, Greg Kinnear and Steven Yeun — aired Thursday with the series beginning to air on April 1. Sila spent her early childhood in Yellowknife and this episode was her first big debut, Sila said. She's had a small role on the comedy series Lucifer and she was also the lead in a short film called The Last Walk filmed in Alaska, which recently earned her a nomination for best emerging actress at a film festival in San Francisco.
The character she plays is an Inuk woman who serves as the first officer to attain the rank of sergeant in Alaska. The original Twilight Zone, which was produced and hosted by Rod Serling, was one of the foundational blocks of televisions first Golden Era. As a weekly anthology, it used science fiction and horror devices to tell filmed allegories about life in America in the late Fifties and early Sixties. This included extra-terrestrial invasions, post-apocalyptic wildernesses and futuristic cultures which served as metaphors for Cold War paranoia, fear of nuclear holocaust and the unrelenting conformity of society at the time.

'Rising star': Jeremy Dutcher wins twice at East Coast Awards STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
CHARLOTTETOWN — Jeremy Dutcher, a musician at the centre of what has been called an Indigenous renaissance, added to his list of accolades Thursday at the East Coast Music Awards. The trained operatic singer, raised partly in the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, took home two awards: Indigenous artist of the year and rising star recording for the album ``Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa.'' The ambitious recording, performed in the Wolastoq language, also earned Dutcher the coveted Polaris Music Prize last September. And in March, Dutcher performed at the Juno Awards in London, Ont., where he won for best Indigenous music album. Among the other big winners at the East Coast Music Awards, broadcast live from Charlottetown,

was Nova Scotia rapper Classified, who won best album for ``Tomorrow Could Be The Day Things Change,'' and best rap recording for the same album. The New Brunswick-based alternative rock band Les Hotesses d'Hilaire also won two awards. Based in Moncton, N.B.,

year for ``Two Weeks.'' Best video went to Makayla Lynn of Elmsdale, N.S., for ``Joyride.'' Last year, the teenager became one of the youngest winners in the event's 30-year history.

the stage with the likes of Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock. This year, Mallory Johnson of Conception Bay South, N.L., won for best country recording. As for Dutcher, his latest wins marks the culmination of five years of work, which started at Dalhousie University in Halifax, where he studied music and anthropology. When an elder from Wolastoq told him about archival recordings featuring his ancestors _ stored at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que. _ Dutcher took it upon himself to do what he could to preserve the endangered language.

SIX NATIONS — Leading another flawless early season, the Six Nations Rebels have racked up seven wins out of seven games with no signs of slowing their momentum. On April 26, they hosted the Owen Sound North Stars at home within the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena and kicked them to the curb with a 20-6 win. The following Friday on May 3, the Rebels met with the London Blue Devils at the ILA and took home yet another win 3-21. Entering the first period the Rebels earned a full eight goals with no responses from the Blue Devils, including a hatty from Wesley Whitlow and singles from Austin Giles, Sidney Powless, Weylon Abrams, Colby Martin and Tycie Cowan. The second period allowed the Blue Devils to answer twice, but the

Rebels buried four in response for their lowest scoring period. Goals came from Sidney Powless with two for a hatty, and singles from Colby Martin, Wesley Whitlow and Weylon Abrams. As for the third, the Blue Devils responded with a final goal while the Rebels tallied up another
eight. Three came from Sidney Powless, earning himself a double hat trick, with singles for Dawit Martin, Wesley Whitlow, Jesse Longboat and Marshall Powless. Top point earners included Sidney Poles (6g, 4a), and Wesley Whitlow (4g, 2a). The next afternoon the Rebels went to visit the Owen Sound North Stars and won with a nine point lead 13-4. The first period was the highest scoring period, as the Rebels earned seven with only one answer from the North Stars. Sidney and Marshall Powless buried doubles, while Dayton Hill, Owen Martin and Wesley Whitlow earned singles. Penalties were high in this match, as the Rebels earned 20 minutes in the first period alone with a 10 minute misconduct call. However, they kept control of the scoreboard.
Following into the second period, the level of scoring was slower for the Rebels than their usual fast and powerful offensive pace. Marshall Powless alone earned three goals for a hat trick and then some, while Wesley Whitlow earned a single. The third period was likely the lowest scoring period the Rebels have had for the entirety of the season. Wesley Whitlow and Dayton Hill earned a goal each to close the game ahead by nine as the North Stars answered once. Top point earners for this game were Marshall Powless (5g, 2a), and Wesley Whitlow and Sidney Powless (2g, 2a).

The second allowed the Warriors to maintain a tie with goals from Dalton Thomas with a hat-trick and Trevor McDonald. The third however, al-lowed both sides to continue with the tie leading into over time with goals from Quinn Drysdale and Josh Millett.

Girls Intermediate Warriors earn their first win game. However, those that have kept their sticks in their hands throughout the winter months showed up on the scoreboard. Mia Martin broke through Timber Wolves defence nearly unassisted, after snatching a pass from Mckenzie Bomberry (88) and following through with a bury. This closed the scoring for the first period. Following into the second Natalie Hill scored within two minutes of the start from Mia Martin, who earned her second point. The Timber Wolves
angered once, before McKenzie Bomberry (88) buried one for herself from Lauryn Hill. This was answered by the Timber Wolves in the third, however, Goaltender Ky Maracle made a lob pass to Cloe VanEvery, who ran it up on a break away and scored glove side. This finalized their first game 4-2, with a lot of time and room for improvement under the guidance of a newer bench; Carlton Hill and Tony Henhawk. Their next home game will be on Thursday, May 23, at the Hagersville Are-
