Proposed Six Nations Citizenship Code headed to June 1 Referendum STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry says the proposed Six Nations Citizenship Code is a necessary protective measure ahead of the federal government’s June 1 changes to the community’s band list.

On June 1, Bill S-3 comes into effect — adding persons who can demonstrate a single indigenous ancestor dating as far back as 1869 to the current band list.

For Six Nations, Bomberry says that change could potentially see up to 100,000 people added to Six Nations membership list by Ottawa on June 1 — likely with no family ties to the community or cultural experience as an indigenous person — all with little to no say by Six Nations itself.

Bomberry says Six Nations had to respond quickly to Canada’s plans to change the membership list — and started exploratory talks with the federal and provincial governments in 2015.

One of the proposed solutions was that Ottawa would maintain the list of federal Status Indians but that Six Nations could

create it’s own Citizenship Code - one that would preserve the community’s culture and Haudenosaunee identity — and protect Six Nations resources, lands and infrastructures by ensuring only Six Nations recognized citizens with 50% or more Six Nations Haudenosaunee ancestry could access community benefits.

The proposed code would also allow Haudenosaunee people who reside in the US but have a community family connection to Six Nations, to also be granted citizenship, allowing them access to community health and social services, allow them to reside on the territory and own land and other benefits that they can not receive as US citizens who are federally not Status Indians and not Canadian.

Bomberry says the proposed Citizenship code would provide a separate citizenship card to Six Nations citizens. That identification would provide recognized Six Nations citizens with access to services like post-secondary funding, permission to own land on the territory, housing, health, welfare and social services at Six Nations of the Grand River.

On June 1, Bill S-3 will grant Indian Status to “all descendants of those Indian women who married

non-Indians after September 4, 1951”. Bomberry says this means the potential is there for people who are 1/32 Indigenous or less to be added to the band registry.

Bomberry says current band members will be granted citizenship but that new registrants will have to prove 50% or more of Six Nations Haudenosaunee ancestry to be added to the list.

The Citizenship Code was drafted in January 2019 and went through 14 revisions until it was ready for public distribution and a referendum vote.

“We finally have something that we think is ready to go and we think people will accept,” said Bomberry. “We will stop all that mass registration of people into our list who have no connection to the territory and little to no indigenous blood.”

Bomberry says, “If we don’t do anything it’s a major step toward assimilation - we’ll have no control over added people with no connection to reserve.”

If the proposed Citizenship code is accepted in the referendum vote, a citizenship commission and citizenship tribunal will be established to determine further details in how the code would be implemented.

There are ongoing information sessions in the community on the Citizenship Code throughout Community Awareness Week at the Our Sustenance Cabin, 2676 4th Line on Six Nations on May 15-16 between 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m..

Voting on the Citizenship Code is open now online through to June 1, 2019. Band Members must have their band number, date of birth, phone number and an email address in order to participate. Online voting can be done by visiting https://onefeather.ca/ nations/sixnations and follow the instructions provided.

In person Referendum votes are scheduled for an Advanced Poll on May 25, 2019 at the Six Nations Community Hall; 1738 4th Line from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m..

The Regular Poll will be held on Saturday June 1, 2019 at the Six Nations Tourism Building; 2498 Chiefswood Road from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m..

All band members 18 years of age and older can participate in the vote with one piece of photo identification. Band members who are not Six Nations residents are also eligible to vote.

Trial begins in sexual assault of two Six Nations females JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — The trial of a Six Nations man who victimized two females seeking traditional healing ceremonies from him has begun in Brantford court.

In July 2016, Six Nations Police arrested 55 year old Ronald Dennis Henry after a lengthy investigation into sexual assault filed against him by two women.

Henry was acting as a “traditional healer” during the sexual offences against the women — one of them was a child at the time of the incident.

According to testimony she was only 13 when Henry begun conducting “healing ceremonies” with her to prevent her

from contracting cancer.

The victim, now 16, broke down in tears under cross-examination by the lawyer of the accused as she recalled the many incidents of assault perpetrated against her, between 2015 and 2016.

A second woman, an adult with a husband and a family, brought similar charges against Henry, saying that she began seeing Henry as a traditional healer in 2010, but soon began to question his methods and quit going.

Defence Lawyer Tyler Smith, grilled the young girl pointing to inconsistencies in her written and her oral testimony. The second woman had very similar experiences in his Henry’s healing hut.

Henry has pleaded notguilty to the charges of both women.

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — Six Nations Polytechnic President/ CEO Rebecca Jamieson was among the esteemed honourees to be invested as a new member into the Order of Canada by The Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, in a ceremony held at Rideau Hall on Wednesday, May 8.

Created in 1967, the Order of Canada is one of our country’s highest honours.

Presented by the governor general, the Order honours people whose service shapes our society; whose innovations ignite our imaginations; and whose compassion unites our communities.

As CEO and President of Six Nations Polytechnic, she has had a transformational impact on her institution, her community and on post-secondary education in Ontario.

Jamieson has also been actively involved in post-secondary education more broadly, serving as the first Executive Director of the College Standards and Accreditation Council, and on the Board of Governors for several Ontario universities and Mohawk College. Jamieson is a Tuscarora Nation, Eel Clan

from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory.

On receiving the prestigious honour Jamieson shared these words “For me, being invested into the Order of Canada tells me that the people involved in making decisions about who will receive this honour value the work that I am involved in. It is not about me as an individual but the work that is collectively done by all who I have worked with over the years. I have been honored and privileged to work with so many knowledge holders, visionaries and people dedicated to restoring the balance required for peaceful co-existence. Together we are making a positive impact and I am grateful to be a part of that. A sincere thank you to those who submitted and supported the nomination. Let’s continue to hold up our good works.”

This is but one of many awards and recognition carried by Jamieson.

Mohawk men acquitted on tobacco tax charges STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MONTREAL — Two Mohawk men were acquitted on claims they defrauded $44 million in tobacco taxes connected to a largescale tobacco smuggling investigation Quebec.

Touted “Operation Mygale”, the Surete du Quebec took the story to national headlines when 60 people were arrested in an alleged contraband tobacco smuggling ring from the US into Canada.

Just two of those people faced charges, Derek White, 48 and Hunter

Montour, also 48.

The investigation alleged persons involved, including Haudenosaunee persons from Kahnawake and Six Nations had evaded millions of dollars in federal and provincial taxes.

On Monday, a Quebec jury acquitted both White and Montour in the case.

The Crown argued the pair were leading an organized crime ring of tobacco smuggling. Lawyers for White said there was no evidence presented that tobacco was sold within the province, only that it was delivered to Kahnawake and then shipped to Six Nations of the Grand

River.

White was found guilty on other charges of fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and profiting from organized crime.

Courts found Montour guilty of aiding organized crime.

According to a CBC report, the pair are now launching a constitutional challenge that Excise Taxes on imports are not applicable to Mohawk people rebased on the Constitution and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. That case is expected to begin in Montreal in January.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Subtle reclamation versus aggressive

By TRT Staff After passing through Barrie en route to the Sudbury area, drivers will pass through parts of Wahta, Muskoka and Shawanaga.

The highway that carries travellers is sidelined by colourful rock and tall coniferous trees, which were likely separated using dynamite to allow for the highway to be constructed in the earlier parts of the century.

Mounted upon the split rock on either side of the road however, sits hand made inukshuks scattered randomly throughout the highway.

To an unknowing onlooker, they might look like they are a form of graffiti or statement art. But driving upon the highway and knowing that the sculptures emulate those from Inuit and northern cultures, it is a stark reminder that the highway travels through indigenous territory.

Between the Georgian Bay Welcome Centre and Sudbury’s South End, 93 inukshuks can be tallied as they began popping up along the roadside in the 1980’s. The interesting thing about the inuksuit sculptures along this highway as well is that they create an air of question and incite dialogue that might not have otherwise been spoken about.

This is what has caused the inuksuit to be called “the inuksukification” of the highway, as a form of reclamation.

However, the relationship that Six Nations has with reclamation within our local territory has had to take a much more active and aggressive route.

Six Nations as a whole has been put in situation after situation of systemic divisiveness, internal conflict and has been dealing with disagreements that have been mainly caused by miscommunication and improper delivery.

What we are seeing now, which is coming to a boiling point, is the interaction between a Band Council system and a Hereditary Confederacy System.

One system, has members that

were elected by the voting class within Six Nations and have been educated in administrative duties and transparency, but may be oblivious to Haudenosaunee cultural and traditional factors. While the other, has titles that are hereditary for the most part, with members that may or may not have had any colonial education, but are fully educated in the traditional and cultural aspects of who they and their ancestors are as Haudenosaunee.

In other words, we have two governing bodies that have the community split several times over.

We have the people that will line up to vote to ensure that decisions are being made on their behalf that they can agree with through their district representative, and we have the people that were lucky enough to know who their ancestors are and have fought against colonialism and it’s institutions to have their voices heard through their clan family representatives. To top it off, both of these governing bodies bump heads time and time again.

As an outsider looking in, would you rather ask about Inuskshuk sculptures on the side of a highway or open the proverbial can of worms to really understand how difficult being an indigenous person can be?

It isn’t just being invisible and fighting to be seen by the rest of the world. Right now it seems like it is also fighting with your own people to have the right thing done for the future of nations, with each side having different perspectives on what the right thing is. As an individual, you might not even know which side to side with.

Thus, the initial division of Six Nations itself can be blamed upon colonial institutions, but the continuation of that division can only be blamed upon the people. Which isn’t a conversation anyone is ready to have just yet.

But hopefully the people will want to have it soon.

SNEC Statement on Lateral Violence and Bullying at Community Meetings It has recently come to our attention that public meetings set up to inform the community about the impacts of legislation imposed by the federal government are being unnecessarily disrupted through verbal attacks and shaming, which are all forms of lateral violence.

It is our position that lateral violence and bullying have no place in our public affairs and if they continue, we will have no choice but to look to other avenues to seek input from the community on these important matters.

We offer these public forums/information sessions so that community mem-

bers can attend and receive relevant information and ask questions. We all have the right to know and understand about initiatives the Six Nations Elected Council is undertaking to safeguard the community against the imposition of Canadian legislation and other threats.

These meetings/forums are important to those in attendance especially to those who have made prior preparations on their own accord with the expectation of having a meaningful dialogue. We are asking everyone to be respectful and courteous of people’s time and energies as every man, woman and child of

Six Nations of the Grand River deserves respect and dignity.

We are calling on the community to help us in beginning the process by attending these meetings with a good mind, listening to the differing viewpoints and being respectful of everyone’s time.

We all have a right to be there, speak our minds and ask important questions. It is only through respectful dialogue that we will find collective solutions to build the foundation of a stronger Six Nations’ position on the issues that impact each and every one of our lives.

Column: Thunder Woman Speaks by Rachel Snow Trudeau rushes termination plan through stealthy tactics RACHEL A. SNOW

rachelannsnow634@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The original people of Turtle Island are in a war.

Since the arrival of the first newcomers, this war has not diminished or decreased. The tactical appearance has changed but the end result of termination or assimilation continues.

How is this war still happening? Wars can be fought on several fronts.

There have been real battles fought that make up the fabric of what is now called Canada. However, unbeknownst to the Canadian public the skirmishes against the first people have never subsided.

First of all, the tainted one-sided history continues to discredit the truth about the positive impacts that the original people had on this settler society.

Coming from absolute monarchies, democracy was in fact, borrowed from the original people who practiced it in this land.

The original people have a worldview that honours sharing and caring for fellow human beings. It is on this premise that two nations met and forged a new relationship on this land.

If you understand that history is wrongly written and the worldview of the original people, you will see that nothing has changed. The historical accounts that discredit the original owners of this land, are embedded in all mainstream systems, including settler government law, policy and legislation. Meanwhile, the Indigenous continue to state that the original relationship was to share and to be kind to one another.

So how has this war continued? If the original people agreed to share the land and its resources, why do they live in third world conditions?

If the original people freely welcomed the newcomers and shared their governance structure, why does this very structure continue to threaten the Indian people across North America?

Wars can be subtly waged.

Justin Trudeau is continuing the colonial process of ridding the Canadian fabric of the “troublesome” Indian problem. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the White Paper by Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Like his father before him, Justin Trudeau is applying colo-

nial principles to Indigenous issues.

Trudeau the younger has saved his final assault to use towards the end of his term as one final thrust against the Indian people. With careful public relations campaigns, Trudeau the younger has been drawing in the Canadian public with his stealth and deceit. He has proclaimed that the most important relationship he values is the one with the Indigenous people.

However, Trudeau like his father has a myopic view of this relationship.

How can his most important relationship be defined by one-side? Surely, a relationship means that there are two parties involved. Justin Trudeau is continuing the age-old paternalistic practice of implementing what he thinks is best for his Indians. He even calls the first peoples his Indigenous Canadians.

Sadly, Trudeau has made the Assembly of First Nations into an assembly of Indian agents and scouts. The national organization that once boldly stood with chiefs opposing federal tyranny has now become the first wave of attack on their own people.

Trudeau’s statements since the Liberal party

came into power in 2015 have been carefully crafted to continue the façade of “reconciliation”. The Missing and Murdered Inquiry he promised has been riddled with problems, staff turnover, political interference and an unrealistic time frame.

Trudeau spoke about the need for clean water, better education systems, certainty in funding for children in care and recognition of Indigenous languages.

Meanwhile, the Liberal government was working to offload their fiduciary duties to the provinces and to thwart their relationship with the Indigenous in policy or legislation. The first sighting of Trudeau’s true intent came with announcement of his 10 principles and plans to divide the department of Indian and Northern Affairs. These principles were set by the Federal government and yet, somehow they capture the true meaning of reconciliation and a new relationship. The plan to divide the department of Indian Affairs takes the inherent rights of all first peoples, with some strengthened by treaties and regulates them into mere policies that the Federal government can follow or disallow.

How is setting up these 10 colonial “guiding” principles, dripping with the doctrine of discovery influence, establishing a new relationship?

How can Trudeau divide the department of Indian Affairs, taking Internationally recognized inherent or treaty rights, protected by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, constitutionally addressed in the British North America Act of 1867 and finally placed by Trudeau’s own father in the 1982 Canadian constitution; and place them into two bureaucracies without asking the rights holders?

This manipulation and the war of the bureaucracy is the truth behind Justin Trudeau’s words and actions. Justin Trudeau is flouting all prior laws or protections for the Indigenous people with these actions.

Now this could be seen as a popular or an unpopular move. Prior to climate change and understanding the delicate balance that must be upheld to keep all life possible, charging full force against natives was always a win-win tactic for governments seeking re-election. If you observe the timing of Meech Lake or the Kelowna accord, lavish promises were made at the end of term

ensuring Canadian outrage, followed by a failed process that frustrated native leaders and their communities.

This year, once again Canadians see the Indians rising. The federal government’s cadre of lies and ploys to dupe Canadians into thinking that there is “progress” on the Indian front are being communicated to all people.

However this time, the original people have support. It is not only in human rights empathy, but now the youth across the globe are rising and walking against climate change. Young people want a life and the land and water to have this opportunity, so the stewardship of the original people is replacing the pursuit of money.

Trudeau’s public debacle with his indigenous justice minister, and his duplicity in assisting corporate voters over Canadians while using his own people and the premise of “jobs” as his reasoning is similar to the doublespeak he uses when speaking about advancing the Indigenous agenda.

The Indigenous have figured out the truth behind the message and will fight, have Canadians made similar conclusions?

Several stories recount the origins of how handing out a hunk of bread and a brick of cheese to the people of Six Nations became a ‘thing’.

Some take a “reverse-thanksgiving” approach and say it is an old tradition dating back to the War of 1812, a move by Queen Victoria who, to save her Six Nations Indians from starvation on her birthday granted an almighty mercy of bread and cheese for survival.

Looking a little closer you’d find that is not true at all as Queen Victoria was not alive in 1812 to bestow anything on anyone.

It was during Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 - 1901 that much of the “colonization” of indigenous people around the world took place. The fetal stages of nation-states across the Indigenous world were growing in what would become later known as Australia and Canada.

Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert sought to be more socially conscious monarchs and wanted to make concessions to displaced indigenous people in those territories. This not only made the young monarchs feel better about their conquests, but made British subjects living in those areas feel better about how the Crown was slowly but surely marginalizing indigenous people in their own lands.

history of Bread and Cheese

As a conciliation, the royals began a yearly tradition of giving gifts to “their Indians” in the Empire. First, wool blankets and cloths were given as part of the tradition.

Monarchs giving gifts to indigenous people was not unheard of. William IV distributed silver medals to North American “Indian” Chiefs for their service as allies in the wars that occurred during his reign.

The tradition of giving blankets however, proved to be an expense that the Crown was not willing to extend after colonization started to take it’s form as the nation-state of Canada. The relationship between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Indian Affairs had come to a place of more formal exchange and the yearly tradition shifted in the 1860s to a gift of bread and cheese.

Archived minutes for the Six Nations Council show requests to the Department of Indian Affairs Superintendent at Grand River dating back to the 1882 requesting a $189.29 disbursement to the community for Bread, Cheese, and prize money for races held in celebration of the Queen’s Birthday event on May 24.

Year after year requests were made up to the year of Victoria’s death in 1901.

The Six Nations Chiefs took initiative after her passing to continue the tradition, even beginning a new tradition called “Indian National Day” in place of Victoria Day. The new National Day was hoped to instill indigenous pride in

the people of Six Nations and the first Indian National Day celebrations were shared in 1908 with Oneida Nation of the Thames.

The Six Nations Chiefs eventually did not carry on with Indian National Day, deciding after community discussions to just carry on with Victoria Day as usual. They kept the tradition going until they were deposed in 1924 by the RCMP and a new elected council established. The elected council then picked up the tradition in the 1930s and it has been continued on through to today.

LEFT: Queen Victoria’s first gifts to “Indians” in Canada and Australia was wool blankets. Eventually that changed to the bread and cheese tradition we see today.

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An appearance by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at an event for Liberal supporters in Toronto was interrupted by a protester from Grassy Narrows First Nation Thursday.

The unidentified woman called on the federal government to make good on its promise to provide a mercury treatment centre for the northwestern Ontario community.

She cut into a question-and-answer session with Liberal MP Adam Vaughan to hand Trudeau a letter, stressing that people continue to suffer from mercury poisoning in the area. ``It has been 500 days since you have promised the community, your government has promised the community,'' she said. ``People continue to be sick and die from mercury poisoning. And I know

that you care. You're a caring person. So this is why I give the letter ... I hope you get it.''

Trudeau thanked the woman and told her she was welcome to stay. ``You are among friends here but I understand how difficult the situation is for you. For people in Grassy Narrows,'' he said.

Trudeau said his government is working with the provincial government to solve the problem, and that his minister of Indigenous Services has met with the chief in Grassy Narrows. ``We are working towards solving this challenge, but I agree. We are all impatient to move forward in a way that gives healing to that community and the kind of support and future for everyone in that community and across Indigenous communities in this country.''

This is the second Liberal event in recent months that has been interrupted by a Grassy Narrows protester.

In March, Trudeau apologized for his response to a protester who interrupted a Liberal fundraising event to draw attention to the mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows.

As security escorted the woman out, Trudeau thanked her for her donation: ``I really appreciate your donation to the Liberal Party of Canada.''

People in Grassy Narrows have had health problems for decades linked to chemical-waste mercury dumped into the English-Wabigoon river system throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

First Nation tells court it should have been consulted after artifacts found CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HOUSTON, B.C. — Members of a northern British Columbia First Nation are arguing in court that they should have been consulted on an archaeological mitigation plan prepared by a natural gas company on their traditional territory.

The Unist'ot'en house group of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation and hereditary chief Knedebeas filed an application for judicial review in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

It challenges the decision of the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission and provincial Archaeology Branch to accept a mitigation plan prepared by Coastal GasLink that the First Nation members say did not involve consultation.

The plan followed the discovery of stone tools on Feb. 13 at a construction site for the company's planned pipeline, which would transport natural gas from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat on the coast as part of the $40-billion LNG Canada project.

Work was temporarily suspended while the commission investigated, and it announced on March 8 that archeologists had

found four stone artifacts that were likely not in their original location.

Coastal GasLink says in a statement that it is limited in commenting because the matter is before the courts, but says it has a valid environmental assessment certificate and permit from the commission. ``Our preference is always to resolve our differences through respectful and meaningful dialogue.

We remain focused on continuing to advance this fully approved and permitted natural gas pipeline, which is under construction and delivering jobs, opportunities and economic benefits to British Columbians and Indigenous communities,'' it says.

The company says in the March 8 news release that it contracted an archaeologist to develop the mitigation plan in case of discoveries that would involve soil testing, visual inspections and ongoing monitoring.

It shared the plan with the Unist'ot'en members' lawyers, ``should they wish to discuss the mitigation'' with the commission, it says.

The site was entered in a provincial archaeology database following the discovery of the artifacts.

The commission referred questions to the pro-

vincial government, which declined to comment as the matter is before the courts.

In the 17-page court petition, the First Nation members say the Wet'suwet'en have never relinquished or surrendered their title and rights to the land and resources.

But they say they didn't receive a copy of the mitigation plan until after it had already been approved and call for the plan to be quashed or set aside. ``To date, no attempt has been made to include Unist'ot'en people in the archaeological work conducted on our own territory,'' they say in a statement.

It says the six artifacts found are ``important evidence confirming the long-standing use and occupation of Wet'suwet'en people in the area.'' ``As such, Coastal GasLink continues to disturb a significant archaeological site that informs Wet'suwet'en history, occupancy, and potential evidence for rights and title.''

The company says it has signed agreements with all 20 elected First Nation governments along the pipeline path, but some members of the Wet'suwet'en have said it has no jurisdiction without the consent of its hereditary chiefs.

Beyak suspended from Senate over refusal to delete racist letters CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lynn Beyak cast herself as a defender of free speech and a victim of political correctness moments before senators voted summarily Thursday to suspend her without pay from the Senate for refusing to delete derogatory letters about Indigenous people from her website.

The suspension applies only to the remainder of the current session of Parliament; she'll be able to

Canadian Senator Beyak was reprimanded for racist letters on her website that she refused to remove.

resume sitting as a senator when a new session begins following the Oct. 21 federal election.

However, if Beyak continues to refuse to comply with remedial measures recommended by the

Senate's ethics committee, the upper chamber could consider further action against her in the future.

In a report last month, the committee recommended that Beyak be suspended, that she complete,

at her own expense, ``educational programs related to racism'' towards Indigenous people; apologize in writing to the Senate; and delete the offending letters from her website. It also recommended the Senate administration remove the offending letters if Beyak doesn't do so herself.

In a speech just prior to the vote on the committee's report, an emotional Beyak pleaded for just one of her fellow senators to ask that the matter be adjourned until next week to give her colleagues time to consider it more carefully.

No one stepped up and a voice vote to adopt the report was taken immediately without further debate.

Conservative Sen. Don Plett asked that the vote be ``on division,'' meaning some senators were opposed but would not insist on standing up one by one for a recorded vote.

Beyak, appointed to the Senate in 2013 by former prime minister Stephen Harper, was kicked out of the Conservative caucus last year over her refusal to remove the letters from her website.

In her speech, Beyak doubled down on her contention that there was nothing racist in the letters. She said her only sin is refusing to censor the free expression of Canadians and she called the proposed penalty ``totalitarian'' and unworthy of a free country like Canada. ``This is a critical day.

Either senators are free to speak without fear of reprisal or we are not,'' she told the Senate. ``The only conduct or action that is condemned is my refusal to censor Canadians and shut down debate about sensitive issues on which Canadians have expressed various opinions.''

The letters were posted in response to a 2018 speech in which Beyak argued that Indian residential schools did a lot

of good for Indigenous children, although many suffered physical and sexual abuse and thousands died of disease and malnutrition.

The Senate's ethics officer, Pierre Legault, concluded in March that five of the letters contained racist content, suggesting that Indigenous people are lazy, chronic whiners who are milking the residential-schools issue to get government handouts.

Beyak refused to accept Legault's order that she delete the letters and apologize to the Senate, which prompted the upper house's ethics committee and finally the Senate as a whole to subsequently take up the matter.

In her speech Thursday, Beyak cited a letter of support she received last week from a retired Manitoba judge who wrote that her ``crime was refusing to go along with the politically correct version of the prevailing orthodoxy pertaining to Indigenous issues.''

But Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett tweeted that the issue ``was never about political correctness _ it's about racism that hurts people.''

In a post on Twitter, Bennett thanked the Senate for ``denouncing racism and for moving to take down the hateful letters'' on Beyak's website.

Boise parks renamed to honour indigenous past CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BOISE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Boise city parks are being renamed to honour Native Americans from the local past.

The Boise City Council voted unanimously on the name changes Tuesday.

With that vote, Quarry View Park will be renamed Eagle Rock Park and Castle Rock Reserve will be renamed Chief Eagle Eye Reserve, Idaho Press reported .

The council also voted unanimously on a resolution that reasserts the city's directives to honour contributions to the area by indigenous people.

Eagle Rock is the traditional name of a balancing rock above Quarry View Park, and significant site for tribes in what is now Treasure Valley. Eagle Eye was chief of a band of 70 Weiser Shoshone who moved to the mountains of Idaho secretly in 1878 instead of relocating to a reservation.

More than a dozen members of various tribes were in the audience when the City Council voted on the name changes.

Lori Edmo, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe, thanked the city. ``It's important to honour our ancestors, our tribal elders and our people and let them know that we will never forget them, because this is our homeland,'' she said.

Boise Mayor Dave Bieter said the name changes are a big step in honouring the history of Idaho's indigenous people. ``We know this is late in coming, but we also recognize that it is an important thing to do,'' Bieter said. ``I hope you don't see this as a culmination of things but another step along the road of a closer and warmer and more fulfilling relationship for all of us.''

ATTAWAPISKAT — Midnight Shine’s third music video will receive its debut at the 2019 Yorkton Film Festival, as they present Leather Skin to kick off opening night festival program on Thursday, May 23. It will be the very first time anyone sees the video, which becomes available online start-ing Friday, May 24.

The band full of Cree talent finds its roots in Attawapiskat, as Leather Skin filming took place on the coast of the James Bay in remote Northern Ontario.

To reach the isolated beach requires traveling 90 minutes north of Attawapiskat by boat which leads to a set of small islands. With the resulting video shot in Ontario and Nunavut, a crew from Ontario, Manitoba, and B.C., and with the video debut in Saskatchewan, Leather Skin makes for a lovely little piece of ‘Canadiana cinema’ ready to be shared with the rest of the world.

The song itself was inspired long ago by Coldplay’s captivating beach video for Yellow, while Midnight Shine frontman Adri-

“I often think about going to my favourite place,” Sutherland sings in the production, peering into the camera as he strolls the stunning shoreline.

With footage from the Twin Islands interspersed with shots captured on the dusty streets of Attawapiskat, the video shows both sides of Sutherland’s life – the pursuit of music juxtaposed with his simple life out on the land.

The awards are handed out Saturday, May 25, with the same production team of RoseAnna Schick and Cliff Hokanson, who shot their cover of Heart of Gold, and is also behind Leather Skin.

BRANTFORD — The official launch of the 45th Annual Indigenous Art Exhibition will take place on Saturday, May 25 at 7 p.m., within the Woodland Cultural Centre.

“With nearly 40 contributing Indigenous artists, this exhibition celebrates the wide variety of media, subject matter and themes which are meaningful to our Indigenous communities today.

ings are heavily influenced by his culture, spirit and experiences. In this body of work his paintings display the resilience, allure and spirit of the Onkwehon:we,” the WCC wrote to their Facebook page.

In his own words, Douglas is a Kanien'kehá:ka painter, educator and

“urban indian” with roots in Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory. He works primarily in oil on canvas and considers himself a figurative painter. Douglas also announced that besides being this year’s featured artist, the centre has also been given something more:

“I am pleased to announce that the Woodland Cultural Centre has acquired ‘Wendigo Triptyck,’ for their permanent collection,” wrote Douglas.

“It will be shown at the Aurora Cultural Centre from May 9th to July 27th, after which it will be delivered for placement within the museum’s Residential School exhibit. I am deeply honoured & grateful.”

The centre invites all and many to visit the exhibition from May 25 through July 27, to enjoy the large accumulation of indigenous art. The opening ceremony will have light refreshments and offer a live musical performance.

Paranormal sightings in Akwesasne open discussion STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Taking a look at old legends and stories on Haudenosaunee territories would bring about discussions on the “monkeydog,” the “flying head,” the “deer people” and “walking skeletons.”

Within Six Nations, many of the sightings and hearings of the paranormal inspired the creation of SNIPE: Six Nations Investigating Paranormal Encounters, which is comprised of members that will actively investigate “haunted” spaces.

Later last week, Akwesasne Today posted on Thursday to notify their followers that sightings that would fall under the “monkeydog” category were spotted on Helena Road. The post reads: “MYSTERY SIGHTINGS - Helena Road. Akwesasne Today has received reports of two separate sightings on and in the vicinity of Helena Road where a mysterious 2-3 foot tall bald, naked male was seen running on all fours quickly into the surrounding underbrush.

One sighting took place near a residential facility by a male client, while the second took place on McNeil Road by a resident

who was a passenger in a moving vehicle. The sightings took place within the last sixty days.”

The page later added that “similar reports have also been received in Kawehno:ke near Square's Corner that involved multiple witnesses seeing a small girl that appeared roadside, often in early hours, and that entity was also seen scurrying away on all fours after having been seen fairly close-up.”

The post itself has garnered nearly 300 shares and the comments have risen above 200, with many voicing their own personal sightings of the paranormal. This opened discussion on just how many individuals believe that they have had extremely similar experiences.

Stories of the “monkeydog” have gone as far as to explain that the entity is a shapeshifting mishap of a man half transformed into a dog, to even being a creation that emerged from an improper ceremony. Nonetheless, sightings have been spoken of as far back as the early 1900’s in some families.

As the discussion continues online, just last Saturday a team of SNIPE members also visited the haunted Thirty Mile Lighthouse.

The history of Six Nations refusing a municipal government JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Some people today believe the constitutional battle at Six Nations between a hereditary Confederacy government versus a municipal style of governance which votes in its leaders, started in the 1920’s.

There were loose organizations of residents in the early part of the century dissatisfied with the slowness of the existing confederacy council at that time, and mistrust that hereditary chiefs were not up to the task of keeping step in a rapidly changing world around them.

But even some hereditary Chiefs were swaying towards the municipal style of governance long before WWI when some historians say returning Six Nations soldiers brought that idea back home with them.

As early as 1861, some of the hereditary chiefs were pushing for an elective form of government to meet the rapidly

moving changes around them and the clan families they represented.

On Dec. 20, 1861, a deputation of Chiefs met with Superintendent of Indian Affairs David Thorburn, which Thorburn recorded in his memoirs.

Those representing the Six Nations attending that meeting included Onondaga Chiefs George Buck, John Buck, Seneca Johnson (Senaca Chief), Cornelius Anderson (Nanticoke Chiefs, and Peter Smith (acting interpreter).

They informed Thorburn about what was going on at Six Nations at that time.

“A difficulty has arisen between a part of the Mohawk of the Upper division of the reserve and the Indians of the Lower Reserve,” they explained.

The delegation want their Superintendent’s opinion of the matter and after that, “the said Petition was now handed over to the Supt. For his perusal. The nature of the memorial is that many of the Tribes in the Lower division are opposed to the course taken by some parties in the Mohawk

Nation who want to come under the municipal law and a large number of that nation is opposed to any change amongst their people.”

“They say in said memorial they do not want to come under the municipal law and a large number of that Nation is opposed to any change amongst their people. They say is said memorial they do not want the Indian Protection Act repealed and they fear they would be taxed and thereby cause its repeal…”

Thorburn considered the petitions set before him and decided now was not the time for such a sweeping change.

“In a word they do not want the Six Nations to come under the Municipal Laws although they do not oppose the few Mohawks who are in favour of it,” records Thorburn. “They are at full liberty to act as they may think fit.

“It appears that the petition in favour of the measure (of a Municipal governance model) is signed by some boys amongst the Mohawk who cannot know the nature of

the change wished for. It has caused great excitement and trouble amongst the Six Nations.”

Only a few weeks later two separate delegations visited Thorburn with opposing points view regarding the Municipal Act. Those Chiefs opposed to becoming a municipality included Henry Anderson (Clerk), George and John Buck, William Green, and Seth Doxtater. They warned Thorburn not to believe those who report that the majority of Six Nations people and Chiefs wanted the Municipal Act to replace the Indian Protection Act. They also told Thorburn they did not want to “debase any Mohawks the privilege of being set apart and put themselves under such Law if they think fit, but still they would rather have Six Nations unanimous in opposing any such measure.”

Promoting the Municipal Act proposal, were Chief John Smoke Johnson, G.H.M. Johnson (interpreter), Seneca Johnson, David Johnson, Thomas Isaac, William Jacobs and Jacob General. They also

brought a petition with 300 names in support of a municipal government, according to minutes of the meeting of Jan. 10. 1862.

Thorburn reported to his superiors, “from my own knowledge of the Indians I am of the opinion that at the present time they are not prepared to become a municipality.”

At the time, the “Indians” were being influenced by a succession Superintendents of their affairs and other government officials, under the arbitrarily instituted, “Indian Protection Act.” Along with many restrictions and unreasonable patriarchal oversight by the Crown in that Act, there were also some safeguards put in place addressing the many frauds and thefts of land by astute land speculators taking advantage of individual Haudenosaunee people.

Although this practice may have brought sudden wealth to certain individuals, it did nothing for the people at large who co-owned the Haldimand Tract as a body.

The preamble of that

initial document spelled out a plan to help protect the Indian lands from the hands of the unscrupulous of both sides.

The preamble to the Act states: “Whereas it is expedient to make provision for the protection of the Indians in Upper Canada, who in their intercourse with the other inhabitants thereof are exposed upon by the designing and unprincipled, s well as to provide more summary and effectual means for the protection of such Indians in the unmolested possession and employment of the lands and other property in their use or occupation.”

Its intent seems to have been to protect the inheritance of those yet to come, in respect of their traditional world views.

But it soon became quite evident that these noble principles, if they ever were heartfelt, would become a green light to lawmakers and judges, many of whom were also land speculators, to find ways of defrauding of their land, or blocking all

Six Nations refusal of municipality continued roads to justice through legislation for Six Nations and other indigenous nations of Ontario.

Without something in place to regulate the sale of Indian land, individual Six Nations land holders were selling off acres of Six Nations’ communal land at alarming rates for

personal gain.

The plan of the Act was to allow the Crown to administrate all Indian land sales on their behalf, and for their exclusive purposes, and managing their funds as ordered by the Chiefs council. On its face that seemed the most expedient way to deal with

white-man’s commerce.

And it may have worked well, if not for the trifecta of wealth, greed and power being consolidated in the British Crown and its representative politicians.

After more Six Nations delegation visits from both sides of the debate, Thorburn decided not to

push the Municipal Act at that time. It would be only the first of several attempts since then to woo Six Nations into becoming just another municipality in Canada and therefor open to taxation and giving up all other rights as Six Nations people.

EDUCATION…A PATH TO TOMORROW

Inuit group wants Arctic areas saved from development IQALUIT — An Inuit landclaim group is asking the federal government to permanently protect large sections of the Eastern Arctic from any industrial development.

The request is part of a huge effort to map out how and where oil, gas and mining should go ahead on land and water around Baffin Island and how they can co-exist with traditional Inuit life. It comes in the final year of a five-year moratorium on Arctic offshore energy development, which is to be reconsidered in 2020. ``There's some very highly sensitive areas,'' said P.J. Akeeagok, president of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association. ``There's no negotiations on certain points in terms of areas where we feel there's absolutely no way we see an opportunity for oil and gas.''

A report, delivered to the federal Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs department, doesn't draw lines on a map. But the area in question is in the Baffin Bay-Davis Strait region, where three Norwegian companies attempted to do seismic tests for oil and gas in 2015.

It's not part of any

marine protected area currently under federal consideration.

Communities along the Baffin coast, with the territorial government and environmental groups, opposed the seismic work.

The issue eventually went to the Supreme Court, which ruled local people hadn't been adequately consulted, and the tests never went ahead.

The Inuit are also asking Ottawa for seasonal bans on marine transport when important animals such as narwhal, walrus and seals are calving. ``Inuit, being coastal people, we heavily rely on wildlife,'' said Akeeagok.

Inuit communities still rely heavily on hunting to keep food on their tables, and studies suggest that 70 per cent of Nunavut Inuit remain food insecure.

The report cites the experience of Inuit hunters who say that development and shipping traffic would displace important food animals and upset the food web.

His people have a lot at stake, Akeeagok said. ``Inuit are very integrated to the wildlife around us and the environment around us.''

Six Nations Rebels conquer the Welland Generals

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The Welland Generals sit themselves at the bottom of league standings for the South Western conference, which didn’t give them much of a chance in their pairing with the Six Nations Rebels who sit at the top.

With a completely undefeated season, the Rebels are the polar opposites of the Generals who have lost eight consecutive games.

This showed on the scoreboard at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Friday, May 10, as out of the entirety of the game the Generals could only return two goals, with one in the first period and another in the second.

SIX NATIONS — The SN Rebels hosted the Welland Generals at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Friday, May 10, and earned their eighth win for the season 23-3.

This made for a boring showing, but definitely allowed systems and plays to be used and implemented on the floor by the

Rebels.

Austin Giles earned himself a single while Weylon Abrams buried twice with one unassisted,

and doubles went to Marshall Powless and Chayton King.

Heading into the second period, Riley Lafor-

me-Hess, Daylen Hill and Mason Hill each came through with singles. This was followed by doubles from Sidney Powless,

Tycie Cowan and Wesley Whitlow.

The third period gave the Rebels the opportunity to rack goals as singles were earned across the roster; Justin Martin, Wesley Whitlow, Jesse Longboat, Marshall Powless, Daylen Hill, Tender Daniel Hill and Chayton King each buried.

This closed the contest at 23-2, with top point earners for the evening: Marshall Powless and Wesley Whitlow (3g, 3a) and Tycie Cowan (2g,2a).

Their next match will take them to Niagara to battle the Thunderhawks on Wednesday evening, and they will return to the ILA on Friday, May 17 to take on the Wallaceburg Red Devils at 8 p.m..

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Arrows offered a feature of new talent during their exhibition game on Sunday evening at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in their match against the Toronto Beaches. The Beaches were heavily prepared as they took the win 9-3 over the Arrows, who are still shaking some new dust off. However with many talented graduates of the Junior ‘A’ program, it is hoped that the Arrows will grow into their new team further on into the season.

GUELPH — Leading up to their second home game coming this Friday, the Brantford Warriors were quick to scoop a win at the Mold-Master Sportsplex against the Halton Hills Bulldogs on Monday night.

Overall, the penalty minutes for both sides

reached high but the scoreboard showed that the Warriors weren’t deterred.

The match brought the Warriors their highest scoring game of the current season, as they swept the Bulldogs under the rug in the first period with only three goals coming from the Bulldogs. Mean while the Warriors landed goals from Caleb Wells, Josh Millette and Dalton

Thomas with singles and Jayden Drage and Max Lewis with doubles. Making the game 7-3 early on.

The second period allowed Caleb Wells a hat-trick and Josh Millette and Dalton Thomas their second goals for the evening and AP Nash Kramer his first. The Bulldogs responded with a subtle double return and closed the period 13-5.

The third period brought three consecutive goals for the Bulldogs right at the start, but this was waned by Ryan Dorr, Josh Millette and Caleb Wells each with steady singles for the period. This finalized the game 16-9 and brought the Warriors their third consecutive victory.

Their next home game will be at the Brantford Civic Centre at 8 p.m., this Friday, where they will host the Oakville Buzz.

While participating in the 2019 IIHF World Championship, Hockey Canada announced on Tuesday that Brandon Montour will miss the remainder of the championship after sustaining a “disappointing” lower-body injury.

“It’s disappointing to see a player like Brandon get hurt at his first world championship,” said Ron Francis, a member of the management group with Canada’s National Men’s Team via a statement through Hockey Canada . “He is a key player who brought so much to the team, and although he won’t be able to continue, we were impressed with his work ethic on and off

the ice. We wish him all the best in his recovery.”

Montour was injured during Team Canada's 6-5 win over Team Slovakia on Monday. The Sabres defenceman is being sent back to Buffalo for further evaluation.

“The obvious concern for Sabres fans is the long-term implications of Montour's injury, especially consider-

ing Zach Bogosian (hip) and Lawrence Pilut (shoulder) could miss the start of the 2019-20 campaign. After joining Buffalo at the trade deadline from Anaheim, the 24-year-old notched three goals and seven helpers in 20 appearances and figures to be a consistent contributor heading into 2019-20 if he is healthy,” wrote CBSS Sports.

Grand River Attack prepping for Women's Box Lacrosse three-peat CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Last season, the Grand River Attack Women’s Box Lacrosse Team came out on top in their reg-ular season, beating out the Whitby Rush by adding up their games versus Akwesasne and London.

Upon entering the 2018 Women’s Box Provincials, the Attack nearly replayed their previous game with the Toronto Stars in semi-finals, putting the Stars away 5-2. The Stars went on to defeat Niagara 2-0 for bronze.

This brought the Attack to play up against the Whitby Rush, and as expected the game did not disappoint. By the end of the first period the two top teams were tied 2-2, bringing the Attack to play a fully disciplined third period as the Rush began to take notches at their lead.

Their hard work paid off and they earned victory 6-4 for their second consecutive provincial title win, turning heads within the league and their home community.

Team Manager Brooke Martin said that this isn’t the first time they’ve been

CALEDONIA — The Grand River Attack have added new legs to their roster and a new face to their bench. They have big plans in the upcoming season to solidify themselves a three-peat.

in this position and their goal this coming season focuses on the opportunity to turn heads again.

“We have won multiple 2-peat [provincial titles] as a franchise, but we have never succeeded in winning three in a row,” said Martin. “The team went through many trials and tribulations when it would come time to focus on that particular season that a three peat would arise; losing family members or multiple injuries as well as losing one of our own, Beckers.”

“With this new season coming we have every opportunity in our hands now to finally focus on setting yet another record

in our leagues history.”

If they can achieve a third title defend, it wouldn’t be a surprise. In league standings, Lindsey Smith and Mekwan Tulpin, two top scorers in the league have called the Attack their home for seasons while the level of stick skill and play experience has also made the team as a whole a force to be reckoned with.

As for the newer legs that have graduated and moved into the women’s league as rookies this season from the intermediate division, Martin said that this is the first year for the transition and it has been long awaited and the new players were welcomed.

“We’ve been waiting patiently for this time to come and now it’s here,” she said. “The rookies help the veterans strive to be better role models.

Switching from minor to senior level is quite the adjustment as well and our women have been excellent in passing on their knowledge and working together to achieve our main goal as a team: finally win that third consecutive provincial championship.”

But as the team is growing, Martin explained that changes have been made behind the scenes, including yet another first in the franchise.

“In the off season this

past year the board made the decision to open up the door to new coach-ing staff. We have a new head coach Jessica Clermont, a new assistant coach Vince Longboat, as well bringing back Darcy Powless as another assistant coach.”

Clermont has formerly coached the Girls U19 Box Lacrosse Team and the Toronto Rush and even earlier played for the Rush. She is the first female head coach to maneuver with the Attack.

“We didn’t know how the new coaches would get along with the players or if their coaching styles would mesh amongst each other. This season we added a female head coach,

first time in Attack history.

This year is all about growth, [the team has] all of the tools to win, now they just need to focus on any type of improvement they feel is necessary.”

As senior division is the last stop for women that have found themselves in box lacrosse, players that make use of improvement and break old habits would benefit the program indefinitely.

In her own words as team manager, Martin may know the team best, and she believes they themselves are their own competition.

“This season will really show how well these women are able to adapt to their surroundings; new coaching staff, new players and new teams added to the league. Last year the players definitely weren’t as confident as they are now going into the season, the only ones I see beating them are themselves.”

Their season is set to begin next month, where they may again reign as the best women’s box lacrosse team in the province for a third time, ranking highest in the country and possibly the world.

Rivermen earn third win CHEZNEY MARTIN

OHSWEKEN — The Rivermen are on a roll as they’ve earned their third consecutive win with a home victory over this past weekend.

On Saturday night, the Rivermen hosted the Owen Sound North Stars at the Gaylord Powless Arena and offered viewers a great showing of rough and tumble throughout the game.

The first period allowed the Rivemen to gain a lead

with only two responses from the Stars. Jon Williams, Marcus Elvin and Gates Abrams earned singles while Tom Montour put away two.

This brought the second period which was nearly a repeat of the first, as the Rivermen earned another five consistent goals with another two responses by the Stars. Jake Bomberry, Gates Abrams buried singles while Zed Williams racked two.

Coming into the third, game misconducts went to Rayce Vyse and Tom Montour along with four Stars players for fighting,

while several major penalties were handed out for various penalties including face mask grabbing.

But the game was already in the bag for the Rivermen as the three goals won by the Stars were cancelled out by four from the home team.

Goals came from Wayne Hill, Daniel Farmer, John Jimerson (unassisted) and Jon Williams.

This closed the match 14-8 for the Rivermen.

Their next home game will open on Friday, May 17 at the Hagersville Arena at 8 p.m..

The fastest game on two feet; the history of lacrosse

By Chezney Martin with notes from The Creator’s Game by Allan Downey Driving on any road in Six Nations will put into perspective how lacrosse has been implemented and cemented into Haudenosaunee home life and framework, as Haudenosaunee life has changed to accepting the nuclear family unit.

On backyards, front lawns and parking lots rest lacrosse nets that can be seen from a quarter mile away.

Besides the two lacrosse arenas that reside within the community, it is not uncommon to see lacrosse teams running or practicing at almost any public space during the summer.

Originally, stick and ball games were played throughout turtle island.

There are stories and hand-drawn images of games including a hundred players to each

team, that played over a length that could only be measured in kilometres.

The athleticism, skill and endurance that was cultivated in this sport made warriors out of Haudenosaunee men. They played with sticks made from hickory and pockets held by hand-woven mesh and the only universal rule was not to touch the ball with your hands.

This game for the

Haudenosaunee held higher cultural significance than many other forms of cultural expression, and was readily shared with Europeans.

The game was considered to be a physical manifestation of a gift given by the Creator to the people. It was used to settle conflict, heal, and was used to ready the men for war and cultivate hand-eye coordination and physical prowess. However, the spiritual significance of the game was either kept from European onlookers, or they did not care.

The main non-indigenous architect that took this game, with all of it’s wildness and freedom of movement, to “civilize it,” was William George Beers of Montreal.

He created a pamphlet of the first written rules and parameters for the game in 1860 and revised them in 1867. Prior to his rules, everything from field length to the number

of players was negotiated before each contest and held to the indigenous expectation of physicality.

His rules however, stripped the game of the intense physical benefits and was done so to appeal to early Canadians.

Although European games were also brought along to Canada, such as cricket, the people of the era viewed sports as a way to treat the ills of society and temper masculine engagement.

As lacrosse was cleansed of its “savagery” it could then be used to implement western views of masculinity.

Much unlike cricket however, lacrosse appealed to those that thought of danger, aggression and power as masculine, and allowed early Canadian men to compete in a controlled environment that was tempered to European standards.

Thus, the game was taken from it’s wild and

“savage” roots and given a contemporary set of rules with parameters that melted well into the physicality of Canadian men at the time. The game was then organized at the national level through the NLA in 1867, which was coined with the slogan “our game and our country.”

With this also came a form of segregation.

One of the new rules read “no Indian must play in a match for a white club, unless previously agreed upon,” as lacrosse organizers of the time believed indigenous players to be far superior to themselves at the sport.

Taking lacrosse and transforming it into a national sport allowed early Canadians an opportunity to obtain a form of identity on a land that gave them none. Whilst this was done as a means of taking ownership and inciting a form nationhood, the game never left

the original people as it was and still is tied to them in the same way that the land is.

The first recorded game that was played between the Haudenosaunee and non-indigenous athletes was in August of 1844, while in September of 1867, more than 3000 spectators clambered to view a game between the Haudenosaunee and Toronto.

By the end of 1867, there were eighty lacrosse clubs in Canada.

Today, there are teams for both genders in nearly all divisions for both box and field lacrosse on Six Nations, with several programs competing at the highest levels in the country. The programs themselves have given opportunities scholastically and athletically to young athletes and continues to do so, making the game a continuing source of physical expression and learning.

Inuit elder running as independent hopes to challenge party politics in N.L. ST. JOHN’S — Jim Learning voted in a provincial election for the first time in his life Thursday, and the 80-year-old says he cast his advance ballot for the only candidate he was confident supporting: himself. ``I've never voted in a Newfoundland election before, because I've never agreed with the government,'' Learning said by phone, laughing. ``But this time I voted, because I'm voting for me.''

The Inuit elder, wellknown for his opposition to the Muskrat Falls hydro

project, has thrown his hat in the ring for a seat in Newfoundland and Labrador's May 16 provincial election.

He's running as an independent candidate in Labrador's Lake Melville district, facing off against Tory hopeful Shannon Tobin and Liberal incumbent Perry Trimper, who has been Speaker since 2017.

Learning never saw himself running for office, but he says bringing the region's concerns directly to the legislature is one way to break the cycle of party politics.

The established parties haven't invested in strengthening Labrador's communities, he argues, despite years of extracting its resources. He considers his run for office a natural extension of his advocacy. ``It's kind of like, you got into one part, it led you to another part, so now you have to finish the fight,'' he said. ``And it seems to me it winds up back on the floor of the House of Assembly.''

Learning said an independent candidate who doesn't have to toe the

party line is best suited to advocate for a region with a small population. ``Here in Labrador, we're the periphery,'' he said. ``Nobody pays attention to us because it's extraction, extraction, extraction, not building us. We need to be built, and that's my fight, and our fight.''

If elected, Learning hopes to improve access to health care and improve transportation and infrastructure to build up tourism opportunities.

And he plans to continue to take the government to

The Six Nations Family Health Team is recruiting volunteers to serve as Board Members on their Family Health Team Board

task over Muskrat Falls.

He's a longtime opponent of the project, which has drawn strong opposition and protests over the threat of flooding and methylmercury poisoning in local wild food sources.

The project's excessive cost and schedule overruns are now the subject of an ongoing public inquiry.

Learning has been arrested and jailed for his opposition to the project.

Last May, he was detained in Ottawa after a demonstration on Parliament Hill.

Despite all this, Learning said running for office within a system he has fought is easy to explain. ``We have to make ourselves felt. Not just heard _ felt,'' he said. ``That's what we've done fighting Muskrat Falls. If you're not going to talk to my people, they're going to come here and talk to you.''

It's never easy for an independent going up against established parties, but Learning said he has been fielding phone calls from people excited to have him on the ballot.

He said he's sensing enthusiasm from ``disaffected voters'' ready for change.

Learning's anti-par-

ty sentiment has been echoed across the province in the lead-up to this provincial election, as voters express frustrations with the status quo and a poor economic outlook.

There are nine independent candidates running this spring, and the new NL Alliance party is also on the ballot in nine ridings. Formed by former Progressive Conservative party president Graydon Pelley, the NL Alliance party has presented itself as a collaborative alternative to old-style party politics.

Learning acknowledged it would be a challenge to make his constituents' voices heard on the House floor within the established party system. ``Change has to come from without,'' he said. ``I'm the without part, I think, and every other independent is as well.''

He never imagined entering politics at 80, but living alone with his family grown and moved away, Learning said the time is right. ``All of a sudden, I just became the person with nothing to lose,'' he said. ``That's my power as an individual, but real power comes from the people.''
