Six Nations woman acquitted on accessory to murder charges in triple homicide STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

LONDON — The first of six people charged in the murders of Melissa Miller, Micheal Jamieson and Alan Porter was acquitted in a London courthouse Friday afternoon.

Kirsten Bomberry, 36, of Six Nations was found not guilty of being an accessory to murder in the triple homicide that continues to grieve the Six Nations community.

According to a statement of facts read by Justice Peter Hockin, Bomberry hid and buried the murder weapons: twice.

Hockin said Bomberry witnessed the murders but did not participate in the victim’s deaths.

Hockin said he believed Bomberry did not bury the weapons to conceal with what or how the victims had died but to protect herself, out of fear the accused killers would

come back and kill her.

In graphic testimony, lawyers detailed how Miller, Jamieson and Porter were all killed on the evening and early morning hours of October 29-30, 2018 at Bomberry’s home on Six Nations. Miller and Porter were stabbed to death inside a trailer on the property. Jamieson was shot in the chest with a double barrel shotgun outside.

Miller was seven months pregnant at the time she was murdered.

The three victims were found days later, on No-

vember 4, 2018 wrapped in blankets and tied with cords in the back of a stolen 2006 Chevy Silverado off Bodkin Road just outside the Oneida Nation of the Thames community — an hour east of Six Nations.

Micheal Jamieson’s mother Sue Jamieson spoke to press outside the courtroom, clutching a picture of her son. “We’d like to let the community know there’s going to be a killer back out in the public,” said Jamieson. “How did they let her off? They were killed at her house

and she walked away.

They were her friends and she watched them get killed and she walked away. She gets off. I don’t understand it. I really don’t understand it.”

Still sobbing Jamieson pleaded for anyone in the public with further evidence about the murders of Jamieson, Miller and Porter to come forward.

“I hope people come forward. Don’t be scared. We need to keep them in jail where they belong.”

The acquittal has raised community outrage — with many demanding Bomberry not be allowed to return to reside at Six Nations.

Ian McCuaig, defense lawyer for Bomberry

spoke outside the courtroom and said he did not know if she was planning to return to reside on Six Nations following her release from custody.

There are five others still facing charges in the deaths of Jamieson, Porter, and Miller.

Nicholas Shipman is facing three counts of second-degree murder; Thomas Bomberry faces two counts of second-degree murder; Jamie Beaver is facing one count of second-degree murder; Vernon Shipman and Roland Sturgeon are both facing charges of accessory after the fact.

All of the remaining accused will face trial in Brantford.

OPP Forensics were at Bomberry`s residence for investigations.

TWO ROW TIMES

The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation opened new play spaces for youth on four of Ontario’s fly-in reserve communities.

Again, the Two Row Times has been invited to participate with the charity as they host special events to celebrate the grand opening of the new parks.

The fly-in communities of Nibinamik, Kasabonika, North Caribou Lake and

Webequie First Nations all saw new play structures installed this year.

DCF paid for 100% of the costs for the playgrounds to be built. In each community, DCF

hosted grand opening celebrations with a free barbecue for community members.

Volunteers distributed backpacks filled with school supplies, t-shirts

and dental hygiene products to youth, adults and elders living on reservations without road access to the rest of the province.

The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation is a “nationally recognized philanthropic organization” that allows Indigenous youth in need across Canada access to funding for Arts, Education, Health, Sports and Community Projects.

Elected Council fights back on claims they are trying to turn Six Nations into a municipality STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council issued a statement late last week, to correct rumours they are secretly trying to turn the reserve into a municipality.

“There is a concern circulating in the community that on June 20, 2019, First Nations will be turning into a municipality.

This rumour is incorrect and is believed to have originated from concerns regarding the Federal Recognition and Implementation of Indigenous Rights Framework,” said the statement.

Protest signs outside the SNEC Central Administration Office, which has been blocked by demonstrators for the last three weeks, announced claims the Elected Council was in a plan to terminate land and treaty rights of Six Nations effective June 20, and warning residents to take immediate action.

This is the latest accusation demonstrators have lobbed into the public sphere about the actions of elected council — all without public documentation to support their claims.

At the beginning of the month, demonstrators claimed SNEC Chief Ava Hill had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks and alleged SAO Dayle Bomberry was also receiving $800 per truckload of fill being shipped into the Six

Nations Landfill site as it undergoes transition from dump to transfer station.

SNEC said they have been working against the Federal Framework, publicly declaring their opposition to the framework on several occasions.

“SNEC would like to confirm its complete opposition to the federal framework as well as the legislative agenda put forward by the Liberal Government over the past 4 years. The Federal Government has totally ignored the rights of Indigenous people through an approached that lacked respect for our inherent and Treaty rights and has not sought our consent on matters that impact our lives and well-being,” said the council.

SNEC says they have officially opposed the Federal Framework since 2016, formally rejecting it in July 2018, and funding travel for community members and councillors to participate in a nation-wide rally against the Framework in Ottawa.

“In July 2018 we took a principled position and formerly rejected the Framework based on the need to safeguarding Six Nations of the Grand River’s sovereignty and inherent rights. It should be noted that the framework was rejected for three main reasons: delegated authority is the only option on the table, supremacy of the Canadian Constitution and “Self-government” as defined by Canadian policy is not true sovereignty

as we define it,” said the council. “It should also be noted that the only purpose of the Framework, from Canada’s perspective was to create certainty for the government that Indigenous Peoples will not ‘get in the way’ of development on traditional territories or assert rights over their traditional territories. The Federal government is only interested in access to our lands.”

SNEC also made declaration in the June 20 statement that they oppose the federal bills C-91 and C-92 Indigenous Languages Act and First Nations Child Welfare Act. “These attempts to legislate our lives, our children and our languages are totally unacceptable, disrespectful and ignores the principal’s reconciliation and more importantly the Nation to Nation relationship. It is obvious that the underlying intent of the federal Indigenous agenda is to expedite plans and create a legislation path, all without our Free, Prior and Informed Consent. This does not bring Honour to the Crown,” said the council.

SNEC says the legislation is “paternalistic in its view of co-development, places barriers to us asserting our own jurisdiction, and actually prevents Six Nation from moving forward to create and deliver a responsive ‘wrap around’ services to address language retention, poverty, housing, social services, and education services focused that are child and family focused.”

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Elected leaders advocates of growth In this election year, accusations of misconduct and theft toward the Six Nations Elected Council and their employees has hit an all-time high. Claim after claim emerges from the Grand River Gossip Group multiple times a day — intent on spreading rhetoric that the community’s elected leaders are "merely administrators”.

This is not new. The “merely administrators” meme is a public relations device that can be traced back to a strategy document drafted for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy by a lawyer from Toronto on how the hereditary chiefs can claim governing power. That strategy outlined several steps the Confederacy needed to take to claim authority as a “true government”; including using the press to get the community to accept the “merely administrators” narrative and pushing for SNEC surrender letter.

Actually, Six Nations elected leaders and council employees have been doing way more than “merely administrating” — actively advocating for the community and proving themselves to be strong negotiators and powerful networkers making strides for change — working to bridge the socio-economic gaps that exist between indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

In 2013 SNEC negotiated a new Policing Agreement gaining eight permanent new officers for the community.

The council completed and opened a water treatment plant, a skate park, a youth centre, new fire and emergency services building, community splash pad and the new Gathering Place Convention Centre.

A Six Nations Youth Council was created to make space for young people’s concerns and visions for the future.

During her time in office, Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill lobbied provincial legislators and Hydro One and successfully eliminated delivery charges for every on-reserve First Nations resident in Ontario. This cut most people’s on-rez bills by 50%.

Chief Hill has been appointed as s Special Advisor to the Ministers Cabinet Table on Poverty Reduction and Social Inclusion. She also began an initiative to keep the community informed by giving accessible monthly updates both on

community radio, and on videos posted to the council’s website and social media accounts.

The sitting council developed a 95 unit housing development that is in the works.

In 2017 — they made a Declaration to Combat Drug Abuse in the Community and launched a public awareness campaign.

SNEC has established an annual fundraising Firefighters Gala, First Responders Breakfast and saw the first Six Nations Fire Department graduating class of indigenous firefighters.

Action has been taken by the council to fundraise for surviving family members of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

In 2015, a development corporation was created as a mechanism for Six Nations to create community wealth. The Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation has received national awards from the Canada Council on Aboriginal Business and Deloitte — acknowledging them for having a large number of millennial employees.

The council secured $10 million for water pipelines to two Six Nations schools.

Work on the waterlines continue to this day.

SNEC has taken community feedback to get involved in Green Energy and become partners with renewable energy projects throughout Ontario. Six Nations is now a stakeholder in the new Green Economy.

Elected Council and staff worked hard as hosts for the PanAm Games and have developed a partnership to host the 2021 Canada Summer Games with Niagara Region.

Over $102 million dollars from the Brantford Casino has been committed over 20 years to Six Nations. Another $10 million dollars is coming to the Six Nations Language Program.

The Six Nations Elected Council and council staff actively advocated in a landmark case — which ruled Indigenous people have inherent rights to use traditional medicine in Canada.

The elected leaders and council employees of Six Nations are not “merely administrators”. They are individual community members each bearing the heart of an advocate with a love for the Rez, it’s people and our collective future.

Two Rows of History As June 6th marked the commemoration of D-Day, let us look at the cause for the liberation of Europe and France in particular.

Firstly, France was invaded and occupied by “Nazi” Germany. The Civilian “government” of France was over thrown and a collaborative regime was established at Vichy France.

Vichy was a vacation and spa town that provided opulent services.

The newly established collaborator regime at Vichy became host to the German military and tool doubling as official French government and resort site for the hierarchy of the German Army and diplomats. From this collaborator regime the German diplomat controlled the collaborator regime.

Opulence became a hallmark of the Vichy regime as the general population of France suffered under the occupation. Here lies the Two Rows of history, one portraying wealth and harmony between the occupation re-

gime and the German occupiers. This peaceful occupation was anything but peaceful for the vast majority of French people.

I draw attention to the advocates of Two Row principles in the Dominion of Canada, as to our present circumstance in “Indian Country”.

Indian/Settler relations have been studied, Truth and Reconciliation, Sixties Scoop, Missing and Murdered Women and girls, Highest rate of incarceration, lowest financial services to Indians children etc.

The Indian Acts provide for the establishment of a council of the Band and Band Lists (…one who’ name appears of a band list or is eligible to be on the list..). The Vichy-like regime of Indian Acts of the Parliament of Dominion of Canada are fictions in “law” as was the German control of France. Resistance to the collaborator regime is the history and legacy of the Onkwayhoway of the Grand River.

How the Trans Mountain green light could benefit First Nations The Canadian government has announced it's going to restart the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

There are several Indigenous groups hoping to purchase an equity interest in Trans Mountain. Project Reconciliation, an Indigenous-led consortium of all Western Canadian First Nations who would like to participate, is proposing to purchase a majority share of the Trans Mountain pipeline and plans to invest 80 per cent of the income earned in an Indigenous sovereign wealth fund.

The remaining 20 per cent would be distributed to communities as it is earned.

The federal Liberal government says it will now start meeting officially with Indigenous groups that are interested in buying the project, including Project Reconciliation.

Since mid-2018, Delbert Wapass _ a former chief of the Thunderchild First Nation in Saskatchewan _ and I have both been involved in Project Reconciliation. We are building an inclusive coalition of First Nations in Western Canada to purchase a 51 per cent stake of the Trans Mountain pipeline and its expansion.

All Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan have been invited to join.

The $7.6 billion needed to acquire the stake would come from a syndicated bond _ essentially a loan.

There would be no taxpayer

money or upfront costs to First Nations communities.

Since the pipeline and expansion already have long-term contracts in place to ship oil from Alberta to the marine terminal in Burnaby, B.C., it would generate profits to meet the communities' high environmental standards _ environmental monitoring, assessment and spill response _ and provide income to build the Indigenous sovereign wealth fund.

The Indigenous sovereign wealth fund will be invested, like the oil export sovereign wealth funds of Norway and the oil-exporting countries of the Middle East, in a professionally managed, diversified international portfolio for longterm returns to Indigenous communities.

The returns of the sovereign wealth fund would, in turn, be channelled to a community investment fund to finance Indigenous needs such as housing, health care, sports facilities, scholarships, Indigenous businesses and low-carbon energy _ in perpetuity.

What is a sovereign wealth fund?

Sovereign wealth funds were introduced in the 1950s and were initially set up by commodity-rich countries that had accumulated substantial foreign exchange reserves from commodity exports. The Kuwait Investment Fund was the first sovereign wealth fund,

set up in 1953 to invest the substantial revenues from its oil industry.

Sovereign wealth funds are characterized by ownership and control by a sovereign entity and involve investment, like pension funds and endowment funds, in a diversified portfolio of real and financial assets globally, including stocks, bonds, real estate, precious metals, airports and toll roads.

Economists describe the aim of a sovereign wealth fund as converting physical natural resource wealth (usually oil wealth) into financial wealth and preserving it in a trust format for the benefit of multiple generations. Of the 70 sovereign wealth funds listed by the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, the Top 3 funds, holding assets of US$2.04 trillion, are all associated with oil-exporting countries, including Norway, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

Empirical studies show that, like pension and endowment funds, the objective for making sovereign wealth fund investments should be strictly commercial _ that is, to earn high financial returns, rather than investing for political motives, such as promoting certain industries or government policy objectives.

Such funds also focus on investment diversification beyond the country or industry from which the initial wealth was earned.

Sovereign wealth funds that are subjected to political involvement perform less well.

Studies that I've co-authored show that some pension funds, like the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, align their policy objectives of supporting renewable energy companies and other socially responsible firms when these investment opportunities meet the plan's profitability requirements, which they increasingly do since they're lower risk.

Similarly, the world's largest and most profitable sovereign wealth fund, Norway's, is increasingly focusing on renewable energy as renewables become more profitable and the country seeks to diversify away from fossil fuels, where it has derived its primary wealth.

That means, according to an international study on emerging pathways to energy transition that I also co-authored, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds play an important role in the global energy transition to lower carbon. Canada's Indigenous sovereign wealth fund intends to be part of this movement.

Are Indigenous people sovereign?

Although First Nations in Canada do not constitute a sovereign nation state with their own currency, central bank and foreign currency reserves, they do have strong aspirations of recognition of their political and

economic sovereignty over their traditional territories as part of the reconciliation process.

These sovereignty aspirations are increasingly recognized societally and are the drivers behind the now conventional Canadian terminology of ``First Nations,'' rather than bands or tribes, and the evolution of names of Indigenous organizations to those that include the words ``sovereign'' and ``nation.''

Indigenous peoples were the first stewards, or owners, of the natural resources of their traditional territories. It is ethical to acknowledge this Indigenous ownership through material Indigenous ownership of the commodity wealth produced from these territories.

Anyone who spends any amount of time among First Nations leaders will recognize the primacy of the concept of sovereignty and independence of decision-making in communities and about their traditional territories.

The priority of First Nations leaders in the 21st century is to emerge from the yoke of the Canadian government's Indian Act administration and to be masters of their own nations.

Successful oil company collaborations with Indigenous communities in the Amazon, and their use of collaboration with intermediary organizations to

bridge the divide between industry and communities, acknowledged the sovereignty of Indigenous communities and the principle that the communities, not the company, should decide which developments they wanted.

A paper I co-authored with David Lertzman in the Journal of Business Ethics on developing a model for resource industries to engage ethically with Indigenous peoples also highlighted the need for industry to respect traditional Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous community sovereignty. And a United Nations Development Program project that I led in Latin America, where the oil industry stimulated sustainable economic development for Indigenous communities, emphasized the need for Indigenous community sovereign decision-making regarding their own development.

Long-term income from wealth fund Sophisticated financial modelling by Project Reconciliation of the estimated income flows from the pipeline show annual income of $250 million. Of that, about $200 million annually would go to the Indigenous sovereign wealth fund to create long-term wealth and $50 million per year would be distributed directly to the community development fund to finance the needs of Indigenous communities.

Driving fast, slow and hard on the Rez

By Gary Farmer

P U R C H A S E T I C K E T S AT W I L D C E N T E R . O R G

Sponsored in part by North Country Public Radio

Lately I have been getting passed by speeding cars, no matter the road. The speed limit on the Rez is above the norm, say from about 15 years ago.

Right now I’m driving a classic Rez beast — a 1986’ E-350 van. It’s 34 years old with New Mexico plates. I call the van Moby Dick cause it’s so old.

You know, after the whale and of the course the famous novel from like the 19th century. I imagine I’m Captain Ahab—it’s a long whale story but I digress. My Moby Dick must look like a visitor waiting for the powwow to start.

New Mexico is pretty relaxed place you know. Like, mañana means tomorrow in Spanish.

It’s kind of a mañana culture. Put off today what you can do tomorrow.

Been living there for a few years — you really learn to relax more naturally of course if you can live at an altitude of 8000 feet in my mountain community.

I find coming home to the east coast and these large cities — I can’t help but wonder why or where everyone is going so fast.

It makes me laugh really.

Everyone is jetting around going to take the kids to practice or picking up someone to go shopping, and going to work of course.

Anyways, I either slow down to allow them to pass or actually pull over and let them pass. Many drivers seemed stressed and or angry at you for being in their way. Of course, I have no idea cause you never have anyone like

say anything bad to you as they pass, but sometimes they speak with the roar of their speed when they go by or how hard they might cut back into your lane. There are always ways to express your feelings driving a car. I feel you! I hear you!

Here down the bush people seem to respect my New Mexico plates.

They’re probably thinking, “oh there are lots of Indians down there and it’s probably a powwow family!” But out in Toronto or Burlington — I might as well be Donald Trump in the flesh with my American plates. They want to pass you and beat you down. Even so, you still get those curious looks like ‘wow, you drove far’ with a thumbs up.

I really do hate being in the way. I’m one of those drivers who looks in the rearview mirror as much as going ahead but can drive badly with the best of them — texting and

busy. We need to burn a lot of fuel to keep our local economy going.

Attending this weeks speedway events to watch my lil’ buddy run in the crate class of racers— ones with the wings that go up to about 105 mph in this week’s program at Ohsweken Speedway. Which by the way, has gone national on a live broadcast of events starting at 9 pm EST on MAV-TV. You can watch the preliminary rounds on www.ohswekenspeedway. ca and is probably one of the most extraordinary events that takes place down here on the Rez. I was not a race fan till i went to Ohsweken Speedway. It’s the best event for $10 every Friday night. If you haven’t yet checked it out — sit in the grandstands one time and hang on tight. One of the most fascinating facts is that the fastest class of winged warriors ripping around the oval travel up to 120 miles an hour around the 1/3 mile flinging mud everywhere.

The kings of our track are Six Nations women they appear fearless to me.

What amazes me is the team work and sub culture of mechanics, drivers and builders of these cars and their modifications to the racing rules.

Like there are a couple hundred of our people deeply involved in this fledgling Rez industry. The driving and the mechanics of the set up to adjust to track conditions and the power house families in our community who are involved both on a hobby level and a commitment to a professional national circuit championship is amazing. The investment of time, energy and resources is somewhat mind boggling but amazing to witness any Friday night at the races.

Enjoy your summer time — when the living is easy.

I really do hate being in the way.

I’m one of those drivers who looks in the rearview mirror as much as going ahead but can drive badly with the best of them... radio station finding going on.

I couldn’t help from thinking why has the speed picked up on our locals roads here on New Credit and Six Nations.

Our roads get real crowded on Friday nights especially in the summer when we’ve got maybe a playoff lacrosse game, a ball tournament, the roar of Ohsweken Speedway.

And our nightly jackpot bingo. Now with the upcoming 40th anniversary powwow and ancillary events the roads will be packed! We never planned for this much traffic.

But that’s alright we need to keep our over 50 gas stations with two new ones about to open up,

Giant telescope will be built on sacred Native Hawaiian peak HONOLULU — After years of protests and legal battles, Hawaii officials announced Thursday that a massive telescope which will allow scientists to peer into the most distant reaches of our early universe will be built on a volcano that some consider sacred.

The state has issued a ``notice to proceed'' for the Thirty Meter Telescope project, Gov. David Ige said at a news conference. In October, a state Supreme Court's 4-1 ruling upheld the project's permits for the $1.4 billion instrument. ``We expect that TMT construction will begin sometime this summer. We will proceed in a way that respects the people, place and culture that make Hawaii unique,'' Ige said. ``We are all stewards of Mauna Kea. The state has an obligation to respect and honour the unique cultural and natural resources on this special mountain.''

Ige said four unauthorized structures were removed from the mountain earlier in the day.

Despite opposition by activists a giant telescope is slated to be PHOTO FILE built on a sacred Hawaiian mountain.

Opponents say the telescope will desecrate sacred land atop Mauna Kea, the state's highest peak and a place of religious importance to Native Hawaiians.

Scientists say the summit is one of the best places on Earth for astronomy.

Several telescopes and observatories are already on the summit.

The new telescope, which officials say will begin to be constructed this summer, will allow astronomers to reach back 13 billion years to answer fundamental questions about the advent of the universe.

They know that we go up during solstice and equinox,'' she said. ``We were preparing to head up tonight for the solstice and to honour him.''

"Other people's skin:" Inuit sue government over medical experiments Five Inuit have filed a lawsuit against the federal government over medical experiments, including skin grafts, that they say were performed on them without their consent.

A statement of claim filed in Iqaluit, Nunavut, says the experiments were performed in Igloolik between 1967 and 1973 and

involved three Canadian universities working with an international scientific program. ``They were doing some weird experiments,'' said Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk, who says he still has scars from the day scientists from down south called him to a lab they had set up in his home

town. ``They put other people's skin on you.''

The complainants also include Paul Quassa, a longtime Inuit leader and former Nunavut premier.

Court documents say scientists arrived in Igloolik, set up a research lab and began taking Inuit from their schools and homes, or directed them to appear.

Small pieces of skin were removed and replaced with skin from other Inuit. They were made to stand outside in the cold while inadequately dressed with thermometers inserted in their rectums. Some were poked with sharp objects to measure their response to pain.

The statement, which has not been tested in court, alleges the scientists were not medically trained and conditions were unsanitary.

It says the Inuit were not told the reason for the procedures or given a chance to refuse. ``Consent was neither given nor

requested.''

There was no medical benefit to the participants, the claim says. ``(The experiments) were demeaning and disregarded (the subject's) inherent value as human beings and having the right to be treated with dignity.''

Edmonton lawyer Steven Cooper, who acts for the Inuit, said he knows of at least 30 people who were subjected to the experiments in Igloolik.

He said the same thing happened in nearby Hall Beach. ``I doubt very much whether this was limited to Igloolik and Hall Beach,'' Cooper said. ``It's absolutely mind-blowing. This was happening in modern-day Canada.''

Cooper said his research shows the experiments were done under the International Biological Program, a multinational scientific effort between 1964 and 1974. Archives from the U.S. National Academy of

Sciences say the program eventually had nine areas of study, including human adaptability and environmental physiology.

The statement of claim alleges researchers from the University of Alberta, the University of Manitoba and McGill University were involved.

McGill said in an email that the university would not comment on a matter before the courts. Responses from the other two schools were not immediately available.

Canada is liable, the statement claims, because the government owed the Inuit a duty of care and failed to ensure their rights were protected. ``Canada intentionally instilled in Nunavummiut the perception that they must do, without question, as they were told by Canada,'' the statement says.

Kunuk, a young boy at the time, said he doesn't remember how he came to be standing in the lab in Igloolik.

``I don't know how I got there,'' he said. ``It was wintertime. They built a science lab here and the scientists would come in and do all sorts of things to us. I was pretty young, still in my school days.''

Kunuk said he thought it was normal, another procedure performed by southerners that Inuit had to line up for. ``They were paying five bucks to have our skin graft. They just injected you with that numb stuff and they had a little tube.

They cut through our skin and cut off our flesh with scissors.''

Kunuk was there with two other children.

The scientists took two samples from his arm and replaced them with skin from his companions _ people he still feels linked with. ``I'm not the only one with these scars. Every time I see my marks, it reminds me of my skin brother and skin sister.''

Inquiry into murdered Indigenous women loses bid for two disputed RCMP files CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — The national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women has lost a court bid for access to two RCMP files the Mounties refuse to hand over.

The RCMP gave the inquiry more than 100 files but concluded that disclosing the two disputed

RCMP filed certificates under the Canada Evidence Act to hide certain files from the MMIPHOTO BY X WG inquiry.

ones could compromise ongoing investigations.

The Mounties then filed certificates with the Federal Court under the Canada Evidence Act, which allows for a hearing to decide whether secrecy will prevail.

In its ruling, the court sides with the RCMP, saying it is satisfied the refusal to hand over the files was not because of a fear of embarrassment or revelation of misconduct

by force members.

The inquiry recently delivered its final report calling for fundamental changes in the areas of health, security, justice and culture affecting Indigenous women and girls.

The inquiry's mandate expires at the end of the month, and there was no immediate word on whether it would appeal the Federal Court ruling.

Police in Thunder Bay, Ont., to reinvestigate nine Indigenous deaths TORONTO _ The deaths of at least nine Indigenous people in Thunder Bay, Ont., will be reinvestigated after an external review found serious flaws with the original probes, the city's chief of police said this week.

In a presentation to the police services board, Chief Sylvie Hauth called for the establishment of a multi-discipline team to conduct the reinvestigations. ``Nine of the (service's) sudden-death investigations ... are so problematic, I recommend these cases be reinvestigated,'' Hauth said in a letter to the board. ``The multi-investigation team should establish a protocol for determining whether

other ... sudden-death investigations should be reinvestigated.''

One of Ontario's police watchdogs, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director or OIPRD, had recommended another look at the nine deaths in a scathing report in December that determined racist attitudes had plagued and undermined the original probes.

Overall, the report concluded, the investigations were shoddy, and a ``crisis of trust'' existed between police and the city's Indigenous community .

Hauth's initial response to the report came under criticism when she acknowledged only unspecified ``systemic barriers in policing'' that had to be

addressed. However, after the board acknowledged failing the Indigenous community, Hauth said ``systemic racism'' within the police service and board needed addressing.

In her report to the board on Tuesday, Hauth recommended reinvestigation of the deaths of Christine Gliddy, 28, Shania Bob, 18, Marie Spence, 30, Aaron Loon, 20, and Sarah Moonias, 57.

The other four cases Hauth said deserved another look are the deaths of Jethro Anderson, 15, Curran Strang, 18, Kyle Morrisseau, 17, and Jordan Wabasse, 15, which were subject to a coroner's inquest. Several of the victims, all students from northern Ontario,

were found drowned in or near city rivers.

The new team will also have to decide whether to re-open the probe into the death of Stacy DeBungee, 41, who was found in the McIntyre River in October 2015. Police declared the death to have been not suspicious _ even before autopsy results were in.

The independent review director recommended disciplinary action against three officers.

Thunder Bay police officers who were part of the original investigations would not be involved in the new team, which would also include Indigenous officers and someone from outside the force.

Among the aims of a

reinvestigation, Hauth said, was to find the truth and restore confidence of the public and affected communities and families in policing.

She recommended oversight of the new probes include a governance committee comprising, among others, a retired judge, the province's chief coroner and the grand chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, which represents 49 First Nation communities across northern Ontario.

Alvin Fiddler, grand chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, said he looked forward to participation on the committee. ``The first step should be to meet with all committee members as soon

as possible to develop our approach to this very important work, including development of a clear mandate, terms of reference and identification of required resources,'' Fiddler said on Wednesday.

The hope is to have the reinvestigations concluded within a year, the police services board heard.

In response to the review director's recommendations, Hauth said the police service has set up a major crimes unit to investigate homicides and other serious cases. Other reforms, such as having officers wear name tags and body cameras, and an enhanced Aboriginal liaison unit, remain in progress, she said.

per cent of all police-reported violent crime in Canada in 2017, the most recent year for which data is available. Women were almost eight in 10 victims.

A survey on prevalence of domestic violence and how it is impacting work, conducted by Western University and the Canadian Labour Congress over a six-month period that ended in June 2014, indicated that Canadian employers lose nearly $78 million annually as a result of domestic violence, and that a third of respondents reported having experienced domestic violence at least once in their lifetimes.

Domestic violence isn't something that affects people only at home, Daviau said. ``It very frequently follows (employees) into the workplace, whether that's an abusive spouse, contacting colleagues or showing up in the workplace,'' she said in an interview.

The issue was raised by PIPSC as part of contract bargaining in 2016, and working groups were formed to tackle the problem. But this latest tentative agreement marks the first time the government has acknowledged it in a contract as a separate workplace issue that requires giving people paid time off specifically to deal with it, said Daviau.

The federal government has reached new tentative contracts with 18 unions so far this year. Results of ratification votes on agreements covering over 60,000 federal employees are expected over the summer.

leave or unpaid leave with job protection.

While exact eligibility rules vary across the country, most provisions allow time off to seek medical attention, to move or to seek legal advice or file a police report in connection with domestic violence.

The Philippines was the first country to pay for domestic-violence leave after creating a law to that effect in 2004.

New Zealand and Australia followed, allowing for 10 days off, paid in New Zealand and unpaid in Australia.

In Canada, the federal government's agreements with PIPSC ensure ``the workplace is not a barrier to survivors seeking support when facing domestic violence,'' union president Debi Daviau said in a statement.

Not only are governments catching onto the need to help their employees escape violence, but private companies are, too, MacQuarrie said.

She pointed to training on the issue she was contracted to do this month for Rio Tinto, the largest mining and metals company operating in Canada. ``This is not a unionled initiative, this is an employer-led initiative,'' she said. ``Canada is part of this more international movement towards understanding domestic violence.''

OTTAWA _ Several new deals reached between the federal government and one of its biggest civil-service unions that allow paid time off for victims of domestic violence are the start of a trend, says an academic expert on violence against women and children.

The tentative agreements, reached late last month with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), include up to 10 paid days of leave to help union members escape their violent partners, a provision the union calls ``historic.'' ``I think it's the beginning of a wave,'' says Barb MacQuarrie at Western University's Centre for Research and Education on Violence against Women and Children. ``I expect that we are going to be seeing many more agreements ... and also more employer policies that proactively offer leave.''

Canada currently has a patchwork of legislation that provides for domestic-violence leave.

Nationally, the government recently passed legislation allowing federally regulated workers who are survivors of such violence to take 10 days off _ five of those days paid and five unpaid.

The change, which includes time off for parents of children who are victims of family violence, comes into force Sept. 1.

Ontario and Manitoba, for instance, each provide five days of paid leave while some other provinces offer fewer days of paid

REGINA _ The Saskatchewan government says it will continue to track or seize at-risk babies despite a call to stop from the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

The inquiry's final report recommends governments and child-welfare agencies immediately abandon what are known as birth or hospital alerts.

Saskatchewan's Social Services Ministry said the alerts are registered if there is a concern about a mother and the potential safety of her baby.

It said social workers or health professionals can make the reports.

The alerts allow government officials to be informed when a baby is born so a report can be investigated, which can result in a newborn being seized.

The ministry said 153 newborns were apprehended in Saskatchewan for their own safety as a result of 588 alerts issued from 2015 to 2018. ``We only do that in extreme circumstances,'' Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. ``At the end of the day, if a child is temporarily taken into care _ no matter what age they are _ our end goal is always reunification with the family to make sure that they have the opportunity to be a family as a whole.''

The ministry said more than 60 per cent of babies taken into care were placed with their extended family while staff worked with the parents.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations questions that figure and said the government is unwilling to change its policies when it comes to delivering child welfare. ``When mother and baby are separated, obviously the mother is very distraught. She's overwhelmed. She's heartbroken,'' said Morley Watson, first vice-chief of the federation, which represents Saskatchewan's 74 First Nations.

``Rather than help the mother and child as a unit they're saying, 'Well you know we're working on prevention but we'll take the baby away,' ... 'Mom, we hope you get better and do well.'''

In Manitoba, figures for birth alerts are much higher. A government spokeswoman said that in 2017-18, Manitoba child-welfare agencies issued 558 birth alerts for high-risk mothers, but did not have figures on how many of those resulted in apprehensions.

An Indigenous woman living in Saskatoon credits her family for helping keep her daughter in her care when social services staff paid her a visit in hospital hours after giving birth.

The Canadian Press is not identifying the woman in order to protect the identity of her child.

The woman said 10 years ago she was a 25-year-old single mother and had given birth to her second child when officials informed her they were investigating and looking to apprehend her baby. ``It was devastating,'' she said. ``I started crying, I didn't know what was going on.''

The woman said concerns were raised about her daughter's exposure to drugs and alcohol because of drug use by her ex-partner, whom she was separated from.

She also believes her own past addiction issues played a factor.

Over three days, the woman said her family provided them with documents to show she was in recovery and able to care for her child.

Years later, she said she still experiences anxiety whenever her daughter leaves. ``It was supposed to be a day of remembering how beautiful a birth was.

It turned into the most traumatizing, heart-aching story.''

'Treated like mines:' Feds mull stronger rules for Indigenous cultural property CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The federal government is considering how to legally enshrine Indigenous people's ownership of traditional culture — from songs to art to the use of medicinal plants.

Ottawa has signed agreements with the Assembly of First Nations and the Metis National Council to explore ways for Aboriginal communities to control and benefit from their cultural knowledge. ``We want Indigenous people to understand ... that their traditional knowledge and traditional culture expressions are protected in a manner

tion for that knowledge.

Anybody can come and use that knowledge for themselves.''

The question has deep roots in Indigenous communities, said Niigaan Sinclair of the University of Manitoba's Native Studies Department. ``This is absolutely huge,'' he said. ``Indigenous peoples are treated like mines. We're like things to be extracted and stolen from and then turned back to those communities and charged triple the price.''

Canada is just at the start of a long and complex discussion, said University of Ottawa law professor Jeremy de Beer.

Copyright law may not even be the right way to address it.

``Copyright and patent law lack the legal tools to allow for truly collective ownership of content or ideas. It's a poor fit.''

The Constitution guarantees Indigenous people the right to a cultural heritage, de Beer said, but it may be up to the courts to decide what that means. ``I won't be surprised to see this issue arising in litigation in the context of (the Constitution).''

There are few precedents aside from the well-known Igloo trademark on Inuit art that was transferred to an Inuit organization in 2017.

Part of any talks will be about protecting Indigenous intellectual property.

Another part will be on setting terms for its use by non-Aboriginals.

``There's ability for outside parties to gain some of that knowledge,'' said Wuttke. ``It is possible, but there's a process involved instead of someone just taking the knowledge and registering it, and they become the owner of it.''

Engagement is the difference between appropriation and what Sinclair calls appreciation. ``Appropriation is not free speech. Appropriation is theft. Appreciation is relationships,'' he said. ``When you appreciate something, you use it in your art or in your medicines. You appreciate it by making sure that it is better off because of your involvement.''

De Beer said it will be crucial for copyrights around Indigenous knowl-

edge to be led and designed by the people who will be most affected. ``The most important thing is that Canadians not attempt to define for Indigenous peoples what protection of Indigenous people's traditional knowledge or cultural expression should look like.''

What happened at the Vancouver Olympics — an Inuit Inukshuk was used as a Games symbol without consultation — should never happen again, said Sinclair. ``Whether it be stealing the land or stealing the stories, it's the same stealing. Stealing is stealing is stealing.''

Cornplanter`s pipe was returned and it has been one year snice.

TORONTO, ON – June 21, 2019 − As part of its National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration, the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) University is launching the Wapatah: Centre for Indigenous Visual Knowledge.

The OCAD University positions decolonization as the first of six key principles of its Academic Plan on a path toward transformative education.

In light of its commitment to expanding Indigenous knowledge, OCAD University is thrilled to further facilitate the collaborative work of researchers and artists by providing a dynamic platform for creativity.

The Wapatah Centre launch is an exciting opportunity to celebrate our research milestones and initiatives: Arctic / Amazon Symposium: Part of a multiyear project, the Arctic/ Amazon Symposium will take shape from September 19 to -20,2019. The symposium will centralize Indigenous research and artistic production to develop interconnections between Amazonian Indig-

enous and Inuit thinkers, artists and activists whose works address climate change amidst shifting political times. The purpose of this gathering is to foster and facilitate a collaborative framework in which participants from Inuit and Amazonian communities can share their knowledge and consider future work together.

The Entangled Gaze: Knowledge Exchange Workshop: This workshop took place over two days in February 2019 at the Haida Gwaii Museum at Kay Linagaay, and convened an interdisciplinary group of scholars, curators, Elders, and student participants from across Canada, the United States and Europe. As part of the workshop participants helped to collaboratively develop a set of protocols for research accessibility, preservation, as well as respectful and meaningful engagement with the Indigenous knowledge online.

Centre is working on a series of digital archive and database projects and knowledge mobilization initiatives, including the Virtual Platform for Indigenous Artset for public release in 2020. The Virtual Platform for Indigenous Art is a digital platform for Indigenous communities, researchers, students, curators, and collecting institutions. This project aims to provide a digital gathering place for data on historical and contemporary Indigenous art, connecting Indigenous communities with researchers and museums.

It's an attempt to reconcile western individualist concepts with Aboriginal ideas of common inheritance. It must balance ownership against stewardship and temporary rights with permanent protection. ``When it comes to First Nations knowledge and cultural expression, every copyright, trademark or patent regime does not accommodate First Nations interest,'' said Stuart Wuttke, an AFN lawyer who was in Geneva last week for international meetings on the issue. ``There's no protec-

On one side of the blade Cornplanter’s name is engraved, and on the other side is the name John Andrus, possibly the maker.

Pipe tomahawks emerged in the early 1700s and were commonly presented to Native American leaders by 18th-century colonial officials. They were considered prized objects because they could be used to smoke tobacco, a plant of cultural and spiritual significance to Indigenous people.

This pipe tomahawk was purchased around 1840 by Tonawanda Seneca Ely Parker from the widow of a Seneca named O-ya-weh-te, or Small Berry. Since the original handle, or haft, was missing, Parker replaced it to reflect what it once may have looked like, based on descriptions from Small Berry’s widow. He also added a brass plate engraved with his name on bore end of the toma-

hawk’s haft, just above the blade,” in regards to the tomahawk.

The piece became part of the NYSM collections in 1850 and for nearly 70 years, the tomahawk was in the hands of private collectors after being stolen from the State Museum between 1947 and 1950.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous collector, the pipe tomahawk returned to NYSM on June 20, 2018.

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — After finalizing their spot on top with a final regular season win over the Windsor Clippers 18-4 a week prior, the Rebels entered their playoff matchup with the Guelph Regals.

So far, the Rebels have undertaken two series games with one at home last Friday and one away on Monday. However, looking at the scores it appears that they’ll have their work cut out for them if the Regals get the home team advantage in Guelph.

As the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena flooded with home support, the Rebels blasted the Regals with a strong first period.

Mason Hill, Gutch Salinas, Owen Martin, Dayton Skye and Tycies Cowan each earned singles with only one answer from the Regals by the end. This gave the Rebels a wide lead

and a great first impression as the second period kept their momentum.

Marshall Powless and Mason Hill went for seconds, as the Regals returned twice. But Dawit Martin went for one and Sidney Powless went for a double as Justin Martin went for his first and Marshall Powless earned a hat-trick. The Regals answered just once more as the period finished, 12-4 for the Rebels.

The third period was executed cleanly as the Regals couldn’t muster any returns.

Wesley Whitlow and Sidney Powless finished with singles while Gregory Elijah-Brown and Daylen Hill scored doubles.

This finished the match with the Rebels taking a high lead, 18-4.

But their travel to Guelph on Monday reaped different results.

The first period gave the Regals three consecutive goals, with answers from Sidney Powless (2) and

Chayton King.

But during the second, the Rebels found themselves suffering from several penalties with their opponents earning none.

This allowed the Regals to bury twice for the lead, with one answer from Marshall Powless.

By the third, the Regals earned two while the Rebels earned three from Dawit Martin, Wesley Whitlow and Marshall Powless to tie the game up.

But with a minute remaining, the Regals were given a penalty shot that they were able to bury from and were able to earn another thirty seconds later. This gave them a two goal lead to finish the game, 9-7.

This puts both teams on equal footing with one home game win each, but the Rebels have two more home games left to play and they are hoped to come out on top.

Their next game will land on Wednesday, June 26 at 8 p.m., within the ILA.

Former Ultimate Fighter winner Julianna Pena (Kiowa) will be making her return to the Octagon next month at UFC Sacramento against former fly-weight champion Nicco Montano (Navajo).

According to Damon Martin of MMAFighting. com, Pena is stepping up on short notice to replace the injured Sara McMann and take on Nicco Montano in a women’s bantamweight bout at UFC Fight Night 155, which takes place July 13 at Golden 1 Center in

Sacramento, California.

Julianna Pena (8-3) won TUF 13 back in 2013 with a TKO win over Jessica Rakoczy and went on to beat Milana Dudieva, Jessica Eye and Cat Zingano to emerge as a legitimate title contender in the women’s bantamweight division. She then ran into the destroyer known as Valentina Shevchenko and suffered a submission loss in January 2017. Pena has not fought since as she became amother, but after over two years away from the Octagon she is ready to return.

Nicco Montano (4-2) won TUF 26 with a decision win over Roxanne Modafferi back in Decem-

ber 2017, a victory which crowned her the first-ever UFC women’s flyweight champion. However, she has not fought since then due to missing weight and USADA violation. After a long layoff and moving up a weight class she will have to fare in her return to the cage with an increase of 10 lbs. Prior to her weight-cutting issues, it looked like Montano was going to be a top flyweight for a long time, but at 135lbs she may be too small for the division.

The betting odds have not come out for this fight yet, but this should be a highly-competitive matchup between two solid grapplers at 135lbs.

Nicco Montano is pictured above with her mother of the Navajo Nation after her fly-weight championship title win back in 2018.

Six Nations' Junior Paperweights celebrate end of season CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — After their eight week season, the Six Nations Jr. Paperweight Lacrosse Team was invited to enjoy bouncy castles, BBQ food and small recognition trophies on Tuesday, June 25.

With a box full of the golden trophies, Vice President of SNMLA Fran Staats said that this celebration is to recognize the youngest group of players within the SNMLA. “Every player and every participant gets a trophy,” said Staats. “This age group consists of three and four year olds so they’re just learning and developing and we just thought that everyone should get something for trying.”

As the age group is so young, the association decided to do an early

celebration for the team rather than include them into the larger banquet that will take place later this year.

“We normally don’t do the [SNMLA banquet] until the end of August, but by that time these little guys have been done and long forgot about it,” she said. “So this year we decided to do their yearend banquet after their last practice today.”

As smiles and excitement filled the area outside of the Six Nations Community Hall, the decision seemed just.

The young athletes gathered to practice once a week and this division is considered to be a beginner program which also included fervent involvement with parents.

“We had a lot of parent volunteers which was awesome,” she said.

“We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back next season.”

SIX NATIONS — Among the many parents that helped the youngest division within the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Association, the young lacrosse players were also given help by the likes of high level lacrosse players Cody Jamieson and Wenster Green. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Six Nations Arrows continue season with five games left CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena opened its doors on Thursday, June 20 to allow the Six Nations Arrows to host the Barrie Lakeshores after their loss to the Oakville Buzz the week prior.

The first period allowed the Arrows to take a fast lead, as Owen S. Hill scored six seconds in and Kevin Owen Hill buried three minutes later.

One goal was returned by the Lakeshores, but this was immediately shut down with goals from Chase Scanlan and Jeremy Bomberry.

This opened the second period 5-1, as the Arrows allowed one goal to get by in the beginning before

opening a barrage of consecutive goals.

Isaiah Skidders and Hodowas Smith buried singles while Owen S. Hill broke through for a double.

This opened another slight in the third period as the Lakeshores were left with too high of a deficit to bite into. The Arrows quickly put away three more as Tehoka Nanticoke, Jamie Dilks and an unregistered player wearing #8 earned singles.

The Lakehores answered just one more time for the rest of the game, while the Arrows racked up two more from Chase and Clay Scanlan to finish the game 13-3.

Three days later, the Arrows went to Whitby to match with the Warriors.

The first period gave

way to two goals for the Arrows by Kevin Owen Hill and Tehoka Nanticoke before the Warriors could muster one answer.

This gave the initial lead to the Arrows, who went on to start the second period with three goals from Tehoka Nanticoke, Jackson Reid and a short-handed bury by Chase Scanlan.

The Warriors answered once before Tehoka Nanticoke went for his third of the gave and Chase Scanlan his second. The game went back and forth as the Warriors buried three in between more goals by Tehoka Nanticoke, Chase Scanlan, Kevin Owen Hill and Jackson Reid.

This began the third 9-4 for the Arrows, who didn’t hold up as Travis Longboat and Chase Scanlan earned singles at

the start.

But the Warriors went on to bury five consecutive goals in a row, which ate at the lead. But with a minute left, Jeremy Bomberry scored unassisted.

This allegedly angered the Whitby Coach who gave Lakeshores #32, Ian McKinnon the nod to punch Tehoka Nanticoke in the helmet. The score sheet states that McKinnon was given a two minute roughing penalty, but the Arrows Twitter says that McKinnon was ejected with 47 seconds left.

This ended the game a closer 12-9.

After two more away games in Whitby and Brampton, the Arrows will host their next home game at 7 p.m., on Sunday, June 30 within the ILA.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Not everyone is on board with your new plan, Libra. You may have to present it a few times before you get a few takers. Be persistent to win others over.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though it seems like there are many obstacles in your path, you will be able to get through relatively unscathed if you have the right people on your side.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, relaxation is essential right now, as you have had many things on your plate. Do not feel like you are slacking off if you take some time to give yourself a break.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Let others in your family know how you are feeling. You don’t have to put on a show or mask your emotions, Capricorn. They’ll love and support your decisions.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Have faith in your decisions even if they don’t entirely make sense on paper, Aquarius. You will have a line of supporters waiting in your corner in no time at all.
