Two separate house fires leave two Six Nations families in need STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Two house fires broke out on Six Nations of the Grand River over the weekend, leaving two area families in need.

On Friday June 28 at around 4:30 p.m. Six Nations Police responded to a house fire on Cayuga Road.

Firefighters were on scene where the home belonging to Six Nation Elected Councillor Melba Thomas was already engulfed in flames.

Thomas was not at home at the time of the fire. Police say the Ontario Fire Marshall is continuing to investigate and that the fire is considered suspicious.

Damages are estimated to be $300,000.

A Six Nations mother and her six children are also in need following another house fire on Stoneridge Circle.

The 10th annual Nitro Nationals was held at Toronto Motorsports Park this past long weekend. The full house was treated to a high-powered racing slate that included jet trucks, jet dragsters and the earth-shaking nitro funny cars. The night was capped off by a large fireworks display that lasted into the morning. PHOTOS

A gofundme page has been set up to help the

family raise money for what lies ahead.

General is a well known caterer and baker — running her business out of the kitchen of her home.

That kitchen is now unsafe — the gofundme describes the entire home as being

severely damaged from smoke damage. The home was not insured.

Community members have also started various fundraising events to help both Thomas and General begin to recover from their losses.

“We were also going to set up tug of war, but I think we’re going to do the stick pull,” he added.

“Where teams hold a stick between themselves and pull, whoever lets go first is the loser.”

Jimerson explained that many of the traditional games were created and used to develop a skill set for hunting and combat, as many utilize the need for hand-eye coordination, agility and strength.

As for what visitors could expect upon visiting, he said that anyone was welcomed to try the games and learn about them as they wanted to, ra-ther than having specific time slots for each.

“We’ve had visitors come through today that were interested in the long-house and its history and a bit of our culture, while they were free to

walk around and enjoy themselves.”

Phil Monture also offered a lands and treaties presentation, while visitors could also partake in a Strawberry Plant Draw as food and refreshments were available within the longhouse.

Joanne Shenandoah’s resume is impressive, like performing for the Dali Lama, Nelson Mandela and 5 Presidential Inaugurations—but so is Joanne if you ever have a chance to see this 3 time Grammy nominated artist who won a Grammy the last year the Grammy's recognized Native American music with a CD titled, Sacred Ground.

She has 23 albums of music to date but only performing 15 dates this year. She feels fully recovered from a serious disease she suffered, "You take antibiotics to knock out a bacterial infection.

But for some people, these drugs can trigger a potentially life-threatening

infection caused by a type of bacteria called clostridium difficile, or C. diff."

Recently, I witnessed Joanne perform a song perfectly she wrote the night before for Oren Lyon's honoring dinner in the heart of Syracuse, NY where Shenandoah was born. She says, "Oren's always been supportive--he would always send me handwritten letters to encourage me and tell me I am doing important work."

Joanne's recent bout with C. diff caused her to lose 112 pounds and took around 14 months to recover. "In the end, it was the healing power of music--healed myself with quantum healing, used tuning forks", she says from her great grandfather's historic home of Chief Shenandoah where she lives today.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Letters to the Editor

Beating the refs, literally There is a saying in the lacrosse community and it is as widespread as mosquitos in the woods.

“You’ve got to beat the refs too,” but this has never been in literal context.

This has always been to take into consideration the home team advantage and systemic privileges that other teams might have, and to play harder and smarter.

Yet in extremely recent times, say in as little as a month, referees have been battered to the point of the association orchestrating a walk out and a declination of officiating.

On June 10, an OLA official was assaulted in Orillia by a lacrosse team trainer.

On Friday, June 28, another OLA official was assaulted after the Six Nations Rivermen hosted the Oakville Titans.

Subsequently, on Sunday, June 30, the OLA Referees announced a walk out.

The Ontario Lacrosse Officials Association posted “Repeated instances of referee abuse, with no satisfactory solution in place despite efforts by both parties, has led the OLOA to recommend that its Board of Referees not accept assignments until a protection policy is ratified by Ontario Lacrosse,” to Twitter the same day.

This caused the cancellation of several junior games as well.

OLA President Marion Ladouceur wrote “In response to a second serious incident involving a box lacrosse referee in as many weeks, the Ontario Lacrosse association (OLA), in conjunction with the officiating community and the commissioners of each Junior and Senior league, were left with no choice but to cancel a select number of scheduled games while representatives of the OLA’s Board of Directors met with representatives of the officiating

community to address the current climate of box lacrosse in Ontario,” in a released statement shortly thereafter.

Ladoucer later included that the six-hour meeting that took place in Cambridge on Saturday, covered seven main points brought to them by the officiating representatives.

But this is nothing new. Stories of referees being attacked stretch far back. With the advancements in social media and the spread of quick news however, these stories are simply getting aired more frequently and fervently.

"We lose 10,000 great young men and woman a year due to abuse,” NHL official Vaughan Rody said in 2014.

In response to what seemed like a herd of reports of officials getting attacked after games in parking lots, Sports Officials Canada began tracking complaints and the organization, which represents sports officials across the country, was set to launch an abuse database.

In 2012, a report published in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine — titled Violence in Canadian Amateur Hockey: The Experience of Referees in Ontario — found that more than 90 per cent of over 600 referees that responded to their survey said they were recipients of aggression and anger and around 46 per cent said that referees are threatened by physical violence.

However, this is a hockey demographic, not lacrosse but it still gives the basis for how much flack referees have to put up with for the love of their chosen sport.

It can only be hoped that the seven recommendations given to the OLA by the OLOA will be heeded as closely as possible, because if they aren’t — no refs means no game.

Canada's new food policy means everyone's at the table

By Evan Fraser, Professor, Director of the Arrell Food Institute and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Global Food Security, University of Guelph Marie-Claude Bibeau, Canada's agriculture and agrifood minister, recently announced that, after years of consultations, Canada finally has a national food policy.

Developing the policy had been one of the ministry's stated commitments since 2015, when Justin Trudeau's cabinet was first sworn in, and in the final days of the government's mandate in 2019, it delivered on this important promise.

The food policy itself notes that Canadian foods lead the world in terms of quality and safety, and that our food sector is one of Canada's economic powerhouses, accounting for an eighth of Canadian jobs.

But problems exist. Too much of our population cannot access healthy food on a reliable basis, while $50 billion of food, or 11 million metric tonnes, is wasted annually in our country.

The food policy, therefore, aims to bolster the economic impact of the agri-food sector while tackling issues like waste and childhood hunger.

Building on a consulta-

tion with approximately 45,000 Canadians through a series of regional town halls, a major summit, and an online survey, the government has decided to invest $134 million in this area.

Included is a local food infrastructure fund worth $50 million that will support community-led projects to drive access to safe, culturally diverse and healthy food.

There will also be a campaign to increase both pride and awareness in Canadian food. And there will be initiatives to tackle food insecurity in Northern and isolated communities, and a ``challenge fund'' that will fund strategies to reduce food waste. Overall, this is an impressive list of commitments, and while the funding allocated to this project is modest (and amounts to just $4 per Canadian), this represents an important moment for the country.

New council A centrepiece of the policy is a new Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council. The council will bring together expertise from beyond government and act to inform future developments regarding food and food policy.

The creation of this council is particularly important. For too long, food has fallen between ministerial portfolios. This

is because food-related issues are too varied to be encompassed by any single minister's mandate.

For instance, healthy food is an obviously component of the minister of health's mandate. But so too is food a function of Agriculture and Agri-food Canada.

Food, and the food industry, are intrinsic to Canada's economic development and so touch on trade policy. And with the rapid development of novel digital agri-food technologies, ministers responsible for innovation, science and technology are also keenly interested in food.

Until now, however, there has been no single place for food-related policies to be debated, contentious issues discussed and evidence-based advice provided to government. As a result, this new advisory council, which will bring together stakeholders and experts, is critical to ensuring that food policy receives the attention it deserves in the long term.

Casting a wide net It's particularly noteworthy that the council will include members from industry, health professionals, academics, nonprofit organizations and Indigenous groups, and will be open to provincial and territorial participation.

While populating this council will be difficult, stakeholders from across the political spectrum have lauded the government for this announcement. The executive director of Food Secure Canada, Gisele Yasmeen, welcomed the announcement, noting: ``We are pleased that a Council drawn from across non-profit organizations, academia, health professionals, Indigenous organizations and agriculture and food industries will help to steer the implementation of the policy.''

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture, an organization formed in 1935 to provide a unified voice

on behalf of all Canadian farmers, was similar in its praise. Mary Robinson, the president of the CFA, noted that food is affected by a variety of factors that are rarely in the spotlight and that the food policy can help ``?organize this puzzle and help fit the pieces together.''

Meanwhile, Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods and the honorary chair of the Maple Leaf Centre for Action on Food Security, noted: ``The commitments reflected in the Food Policy for Canada will play an important role in making nutritious, sustainably produced food accessible for all Canadians. We are greatly encouraged that

the policy includes the establishment of a Food Policy Advisory Council that recognizes the need for collaboration across industry, civil society and government to implement the vision and goals of the policy.''

While it remains to be seen exactly how the food policy, and the council, will operate, the announcement is a tremendously important step in ensuring that food _ intrinsic to our economic, environmental, social and biological health _ is given the attention it deserves. ___ This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Cannabis use jumped 40 per cent in Canada UN report says The United Nations' latest world drug report shows more Canadians started using cannabis each year in the lead-up to the drug's legalization for recreational use.

The report says there was a 40 per cent increase in usage of the drug between 2013 and 2017, which it attributes to a decrease in the perception of risk around cannabis use and the national debate around legalization.

It says the increase in Canada during this time was more pronounced in adults aged 20 or older, while it declined among young people aged 19 or younger.

According to the UN, Cannabis use overall is still higher among people between the ages of 15 and 24 than people who are 25 and older.

At just over 23 per cent, more people in British Columbia used cannabis

in 2017 than elsewhere in the country, while the report says Nova Scotia and Manitoba were also above the national average of 15 per cent.

The UN says it's too early to assess the impact of the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada and jurisdictions in the U.S., but early trends are worth monitoring, including the persistence of organized crime groups profitting from the drug.

OTTAWA _ The federal government signed historic self-government agreements Thursday with the Metis nations of Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

The agreements affirm the Metis right of self-government and formally recognize the mandates of the Metis nations in the three provinces.

They further recognize the Metis governments' jurisdiction in the areas of citizenship, leadership selection and government operations and set out processes for negotiating more areas of jurisdiction in future.

The agreements also spell out the next steps toward formally recognizing Metis governments in

Canadian law.

Audrey Poitras, president of the Metis Nation of Alberta, said the agreements mark the beginning of ``a true government-to-government relationship with Canada based on reconciliation and a recognition of our place in Confederation.'' ``This historic agreement is a major step toward guaranteeing our rights to our land, our resources, our education and our culture,'' said Greg McCallum, president of the Metis Nation of Saskatchewan. ``It is real progress for our people.''

Margaret Froh, president of the Metis Nation of Ontario, said the agreements are the culmination

of a century-long campaign for recognition of Metis people's inherent right to self-determination and self-government. ``Our Metis citizens and communities will rise to the exciting challenge of developing a 21st-century Metis government that is authentic, visionary, responsive and accountable that will serve our citizens and communities for generations to come,'' she said.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett called the agreements a ``fundamental step to advance reconciliation'' and predicted they will transform the federal relationship with Metis nations in the three provinces.

B.C. adds $1.46 million to offset costs for athletes at 2020 Indigenous Games VICTORIA — Premier John Horgan shot some hoops in the basketball court at the Songhees Wellness Centre shortly after talking about the power of sports to improve lives and build nations.

Horgan says the cost of sports should not be a factor in holding back participation as he announced the government will invest $1.46 million to send more B.C. athletes to the 2020 North American Indigenous Games in Halifax.

The funding announcement was greeted with

loud cheers from Indigenous athletes, dancers and elders who gathered at the Victoria-area centre for the announcement.

Horgan says the money allows more participants and offsets the costs for more than 500 athletes, coaches, chaperones and staff.

He says he believes sports builds stronger individuals and communities and everybody should have the opportunity to participate.

The Songhees First Nation's bid to host the 2020 Games fell short last year, but the community

remains a supporter of the event.

The North American Indigenous Games, held July 12 to 18 next year, is a multi-sport competition and cultural festival expected to draw more than 5,000 Indigenous youth from 750 First Nations. ``Being on the field, being in the box, being at centre court for the opening jump of a basketball game, fills athletes with a sense of purpose and a sense of co-operation for their teammates,'' Horgan says. ``Win or lose, sport brings out, in my opinion, the best in all of us.''

MMIW commissioners reconcile Canada Day with genocide finding CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG _ When Michele Audette was growing up, Canada Day was not a celebration.

It left her feeling bitter.

The daughter of a Quebecois father and an Innu mother, Audette didn't see herself in the school curriculum.

She didn't see a recognition of Indigenous populations that existed for thousands of years in many of the places she lived.

But she was also conflicted.

When First Nations, Metis and Inuit dancers took the stage there would be a feeling of pride, she says, even if it was only fleeting. ``They were there to remind Canada that people were here, are still here today, and showing the resilience of our nations.

It is beautiful,'' she says. ``But it needs to be there everyday. It needs to be there in the laws, the policies and the programs.''

Audette spent more than two years hearing testimony from women, families and experts as one of the commissioners from the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

The inquiry's final report, released in early June, detailed a deliberate and persistent pattern of abuses against Indigenous women, girls, two-spirited people and LGBTQ individuals, which it said can only be described as a genocide.

The report included 231 recommendations, including calls for all Canadians to learn Indigenous history and use that knowledge to break down barriers.

A lot of Indigenous people don't celebrate Canada Day because it's a reminder of colonization, says inquiry Chief Commissioner Marion Buller. And they won't celebrate until they see a

real change in policies and practices from all levels of government, she says. ``One thing that we all have to accept is colonization happened and is still happening,'' says Buller, who is from Mistawasis First Nation in Saskatchewan.

When the Europeans first arrived, First Nations helped the settlers survive. But over time, the fur market declined,

communities starving and susceptible to sickness.

Children were forced into residential schools where many faced physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Thousands of children died.

The '60s Scoop in which Indigenous children were adopted out to non-Indigenous families followed.

Many Canadians were not taught this history growing up, the commis-

as did military threats, and Indigenous people became an obstacle.

Reserves were set up on less habitable land to make room for railroads and settlements, or so that water could be diverted.

Ceremonies were outlawed and a pass system was set up to control movement. Inadequate government rations left

Family members who testified at the inquiry spoke about multigenerational trauma. They told commissioners about ongoing policies displacing women from traditional roles, forced sterilizations, children being apprehended, confrontations with

She says the country's positive aspects can be celebrated without glossing over the destructive parts of its past. But that means including Indigenous communities and making sure they feel welcome on their own terms. ``What I believe Canada Day can be is a time of reflection and a time to put into action our calls to justice, particularly around the importance of developing relationships. ``I don't think that it's a contradiction to celebrate the potential of Canada and to celebrate some of what we've done, or to be proud of it while also reflecting on what has happened and what we need to do moving forward.''

police, poverty, violence and housing insecurity. ``This country is at war, and Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people are under siege,'' the report says.

The inquiry found human and Indigenous rights violations, homophobia, transphobia and marginalization ``woven into the fabric of Canadian society,'' says Commissioner Brian Eyolfson from the Couchiching First Nation in Ontario.

Canada Day is an opportunity for education, he suggests. ``It's important to include Indigenous Peoples and their histories, contributions and their current realities in celebrations,'' Eyolfson says.

The holiday is problematic when it only reflects a palatable history of the country, adds commissioner Qajaq Robin-

When the Europeans first arrived, First Nations helped the settlers survive. But over time, the fur market declined, as did military threats, and Indigenous people became an obstacle.

Onkwehon:we Festival unites again

By TRT Staff BRANTFORD — A beautiful celebration of culture, art and expression took place on the grounds of the Woodland Cultural Centre last weekend.

The 2nd Annual Onkwehon:we Festival provided a space for Haudenosaunee artists and other indigenous nations from across Turtle Island to celebrate cultural practices in both temporary and traditional forms.

With multidisciplinary events of the highest calibre, featuring dance, music, theatre, visual arts, film, and workshops, the festival opened for families to enjoy.

The likes of Logan Staats, Lacey Hill and the Six Nations Women’s

Singers graced the stages of the auditorium. While water drum, beading and moccasin workshops took place, along with dance troupe performances from Michelles Studio of Dance and Modelling and the Sinquah Family and more.

The festival also featured a vendor village for those that wanted to browse handiwork to take home, and teachings on plants and medicines.

Michelle Thrush discovers and shares her Inner Elder with Canada GARY FARMER

hayetwahs@icloud.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO – Walking into the Native Earth Performing Arts, Aki Studio was diverse a Toronto audience as one could imagine for the last performance of Michelle Thrush's sold-out one woman show, “Inner Elder”, written by Michelle herself. It’s her own story from childhood. In the beginning, it seemed another hard tale of survival.

She is best known for her leading role as Gail Stoney in Blackstone, for which she won the Gemini Award.

Thrush, who is Cree, was born and raised in Calgary, by parents she admits were chronic alcoholics.

She recalls being called "Squaw" at Bowness High School and bullied because of her parents' illness. In grade nine she changed schools and attended Calgary's Plains Indian Cultural Survival School.

There she felt accepted for the first time. She learned about herself, her language, culture, singing and drumming. She remembers: "They filled in a lot of the voids that my soul was

just begging for."

Thrush has had a prolific career since its beginning in the 1980s. She began her acting career in film while attending high school. She got her first theatre job when she moved to Vancouver at age 20. She had a small part in the play The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. She portrayed numerous recurring and guest roles in the television series Madison, Northern Exposure, North

of 60, Highlander, Forever Knight, Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy, Moccasin Flats and Mixed Blessings.

She has starred in many notable films throughout her career, particularly in films that deal with issues about Indigenous peoples of the Americas. These include Isaac Littlefeathers, Unnatural & Accidental, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Dark Wind, Skins, Dead Man, Dreamkeeper and Jimmy P:

Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian.

Michelle’s character in that short was scolding me for exploiting my own culture for entertainment purposes and profits.

I remember being impressed with Michelle’s commitment and had a professionalism about her even when she was just starting out. So much so, that while shooting Dead Man with Jim Jarmusch, he inquired with me about someone who could play my girlfriend in the stark iconic film. The rest is history when she puts in a beautiful performance entirely in Cree language.

Now well into her mid-life Thrush is busier than ever. Mother of two talented young daughters ages 15 and 18 who formed a punk rock group a few years back are now moving in new directions but Michelle has ingrained so much of her pride and motivation in her girls.

They are three powerhouse women as a family.

Michelle’s “Inner Elder", which will run with the National Arts Centre opening season in 2020 will likely not be performed again until the re-mount for a couple weeks run next

April. Her set simple in design with ropes running to the sky like rays of rainbow light creating teepee like imaginary structures that double up like a forest where much of Michelle’s early life is spent finding redemption in a troubled household.

It’s her imagination as a child that keeps her alive.

Michelle's ability to continue to love herself enough to inspire a generation. But it’s only when she discovers her inner elder that she is able to transform the audience to waves of laughter-- I mean, side splitting laugh out loud, belly shaking good time that I have not experienced for a long time – especially

in theatre. The love she is able to create from her final turn as the world’s greatest super nana as she ages before our very eyes is amazing.

These days, Michelle is busy nurturing a potential film directing career by mentoring some of Canada's most experienced film and TV directors in Toronto.

Whirlwind Michelle Thrush is leaving shortly back west to start filming, Prairie Dog Film and Television’s new one-hour crime drama series, "Tribal" which began production recently in Calgary and Tsuut'ina First Nation.

The series will broadcast in Canada on APTN.

Rivermen take out Titans

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rivermen hosted their top rivals the Oakville Titans last Saturday at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

As to be expected, the first period gave way to what began a close game.

Riley Johnson broke the scoring for the Rivermen 30 seconds in, while Gates Abams also buried before the Titans could answer twice. However, Riley Johnson came back for his second, closing the period

with a light lead 3-2.

The second period gave way to two goals for the Titans, but three answers for Johnny Powless with a hat-trick. While Greg Longboat Jr., earned a single, giving the Rivermen a three goal lead by the end.

This brought up the third period, which should have been the period that the Titans fought to get stronger footing.

However, Leland Powless, Sherman Williams and Tom Montour quickly put singles away. This was answered by two goals

from the Titans, which were cancelled out by Leland Powless and Greg Longboat Jr., who both went for their seconds of the game.

By the end of the third, the Rivermen lost both Wayne Hill and Tom Montour to 10 minute penalties and Montour was ejected from the game with a game misconduct.

This finalized the game 12-6, and left an impression that resulted in the Rivemen being unable to play their next scheduled game the following Sunday, as it was cancelled.

The Rivermen now are in second place. Although defeated, the Titans still rest on top of the OSBLL standings as they have played one extra game, which resulted in a win, over the Rivermen so far.

Their next scheduled home game for the Rivermen will land on Saturday, July 13, at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

On June 10, an OLA official was assaulted in Orillia by a lacrosse team trainer.

On Friday, June 28, another OLA official was assaulted after the Six Nations Rivermen hosted the Oakville Titans.

“A Senior Board of Referees Official was allegedly confronted in the parking lot by a player who had been assessed a game misconduct. The player allegedly blocked the ref’ from driving out and jumped on his car,” posted Scott Arnold, a commentator for the OLA, to Twitter on Sunday.

The OLA Senior B game sheet wrote that Tom Montour was ejected in the third period for “Abuse of Officials” which resulted in a game misconduct.

The following game scheduled for the Rivermen against the Brooklin Merchants on Saturday, June 29, was cancelled.

Subsequently, on Sunday, June 30, the OLA Referees announced a walk out.

despite efforts by both parties, has led the OLOA to recommend that its Board of Referees not accept assignments until a protection policy is ratified by Ontario Lacrosse,” to Twitter the same day.

This caused the cancellation of several junior games as well.

OLA President Marion Ladouceur wrote “In response to a second serious incident involving a box lacrosse referee in as many weeks, the Ontario Lacrosse association (OLA), in conjunction with the officiating community and the commissioners of each Junior and Senior league, were left with no choice but to cancel a select number

of scheduled games while representatives of the OLA’s Board of Directors met with representatives of the officiating community to address the current climate of box lacrosse in Ontario,” in a released statement shortly thereafter.

Ladoucer later included that the six-hour meeting that took place in Cambridge on Saturday, covered seven main points brought to them by the officiating representatives.

With the Founders, Minto, Presidents and Mann Cup approaching, the changes that are hoped to be made through the seven recommendations to keep officials safe will be quickly adaptable.

Six Nations Rebels finish Regals, move on to Clippers

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — After a one-to-one game tie in their series, the Rebels were left with two games ahead after their loss on Monday, June 24, against the Guelph Regals to reign in the best of five.

This brought the two rivals to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Wednesday, June 26 to hash it out again.

The first period gave way to three goals for the Regals, but this was answered by five for the Rebels by Chayton King, Weylon Abrams, Daylen Hill and two by Tayton Skye.

Soon to follow were four by Weylon Abrams and Daylen Hill with doubles each in the second period. But all four were answered by the Regals, making the game a little uncomfortable with a close score of 9-7 for the Rebels.

However, the third period alleviated the worry as the Rebels scored twice to finish off the game.

Goals came from Marshall Powless and Tayton Skye, with no returns from the

A strong first period gave way to the Rebels earning two goals in minutes, from Marshall Powless and Daylen Hill.

The Regals responded with one, as Weylon Abrams and Jesse Longboat both earned singles

This brought the game to an equal period, as the Regals scored twice and the Rebels did too. Goals came from Daris Anderson and Tayton Skye to close the period with a closer 8-5 for the Rebels.
