Indian Day Schools class counsel explains case OHSWEKEN — SNEC heard a presentation on the Federal Indian Day Schools settlement by one of the case’s lead lawyers.

Jeremy Bouchard of Gowling WLG, who is a member of Six Nations, explained the class action case and resulting settlement.

Bouchard cautioned the Elected Council of lawyers seeking out survivors in an attempt to secure retainers at a rate of 40% of the final settlement payout.

Bouchard said his law firm, Gowling WLG, is the only certified class counsel to work on the claim and that Gowling will be providing legal assistance to all Survivors with their claim at no cost.

All of Six Nations federal schools are included in the settlement and in many cases former students who attended through to the 1997 are eligible for basic compensation.

According to Bouchard,

Six Nations may be one of the communities most affected as the federal government continues to operate schools in the community.

As of 2019, there are approximately 120,000140,000 survivors of the Federal Indian Day Schools today.

Estates of Survivors who died on or after July 31, 2007 are also eligible to make a claim on their loved ones behalf.

Bouchard said, “No one is required to be cross examined. No one will ever be cross examined on this. The people that were retraumatized as a result of [the Indian Residential Schools Settlement] was significant. No one here will have to go through all that.”

Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill said during the presentation there will be a community meeting about the settlement on September 11th 7-9 p.m. at the Community Hall in Ohsweken.

Cannabis farm robbed

TOWNSEND — OPP say they are investigating after a legal cannabis farm was robbed at gunpoint.

On Sunday, August 25, 2019, at approximately 2:33 p.m. Norfolk OPP responded to a report of a robbery on Concession 14 in Townsend.

Police say several unknown suspects armed with handguns forcibly entered the location, which is a legal cannabis farm.

Once inside, one of the victims was assaulted and received minor injuries.

The suspects then removed a large quantity of cannabis and fled in a red coloured Ford pickup truck with a cap on the box along with a U-Haul truck.

If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are being asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

OPP shut down cannabis depot HAMILTON — Members of the Provincial Joint Forces Cannabis Enforcement Team (PJFCET) of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), along with Hamilton Police Service, executed a search warrant at a business in Hamilton.

Police say a legitimate business was being used as a delivery depot for illicit cannabis product.

Some packages meant to be delivered to the business had been intercepted

by Canada Post.

As a result of the warrant being executed police seized a substantive amount of cash, cannabis,

cannabis products, and electronics.

Tuan Ba Tran, 31, of Kitchener and Quoc Bao Tang, 32, of North York have been arrested and charged with Possessing cannabis for the purpose of selling contrary to the Cannabis Act, Possessing cannabis for the purpose of distribution contrary to the Cannabis Act, and Possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 contrary to the Criminal Code. They were released and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date.

OPP say they are continuing to lead an enforcement strategy which includes other Ontario police services to dismantle organized crime groups, eliminate the illegal cannabis supply, remove illegal cannabis enterprises such as store fronts and online, and target the proceeds of crime and assets.

Any person with information regarding this incident should immediately contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888310-1122 or their nearest police authority.

Changes upcoming in SNEC election

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Electoral Officer Steve Williams explained the upcoming elections and how the Election Code will apply.

SNEC heard that the changes made to the community’s new Election Code will take effect in the upcoming election. None of the changes will be retroactively applied.

Councillors Helen Miller and Carl Hill raised frustrations on the new standard in the Election Code requiring a basic education requirement of a high school diploma or GED requirement.

Williams explained that the decision was made by the members of the community in a referendum vote earlier this year.

Hill said that he plans to challenge the rule in the upcoming election. Miller said that she believes it may be a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Nominations for the next council will do away with districts and reduce the council to 9 seats.

Nominations will begin in October.

How we know that the Amazon fires are intentional

By TRT Staff Standing up for the Earth is a dangerous devotion.

Indigenous people of North America know this well and there are many examples of it throughout North American history, at present and in recent time.

But this danger hasn’t just been experienced by indigenous people, it has been globally proven.

A devastating tally released in July counts 164 environmentalists killed for their efforts in 2018 and that number is probably an underestimation.

This flattened out to three deaths each week for the time looked at while even more activists were silenced through arrests, death threats, lawsuits or violent attacks.

The annual report from

international NGO (nonprofit organization that operates independently of any government, typically one whose purpose is to address a social or political issue) Global Witness tracked the murders and “enforced disappearances” of activists around the world. These activists were working to protect ecosystems, preserve natural resources being depleted by mining, agriculture and other huge and destructive industries, and defend the rights of indigenous people to their native lands.

In addition to gathering data on murders, attacks on and intimidation of environmental defenders, the 2019 Global Witness report highlighted the insidious ways large corporations and governments around the world are

complicit in the rampant violence and harassment.

But environmental activism wouldn’t be found around the world if environmental devastation didn’t exist around the world.

Taking a look at the Amazon rainforest, which was set ablaze for three weeks prior to informing any North American media outlet, an Amazon tribe won a lawsuit against oil companies back in May.

The Amazon is the most biodiverse place on Earth, making its preservation a matter of slowing down plant and animal extinctions.

To put into perspective, not just the Waorani, but hundreds of thousands of indigenous people in more than 400 tribes also live in

the Amazon, and rely on the rainforest to support their lives and preserve their cultures.

The Amazon Rainforest is well known across the world for being the largest and most dense area of woodland. Spanning across nine countries, the Amazon is home to millions of different animal and plant species, as well as harbouring some for the world's last remaining indigenous groups.

The Waorani people of Pastaza are an indigenous tribe from the Ecuadorian Amazon and have lived in the Rainforest for many generations. The Rainforest also produces 20 per cent of the planets fresh oxygen.

And after their long legal battle with a number of organizations, the Waorani people successfully

protected half a million acres of their ancestral territory for a short time.

"The government tried to sell our lands to the oil companies without our permission. Our rainforest is our life. We decide what happens in our lands. We will never sell our rainforest to the oil companies.

Today, the courts recognized that the Waorani people, and all indigenous peoples have rights over our territories that must be respected. The government’s interests in oil is not more valuable than our rights, our forests, our lives,” remarked Nemonte Nenquimo, president of the Waorani Pastaza Organization and plaintiff in the lawsuit.

But by August 21, North American media outlets released that the rainforest was intentionally

being set on fire. There are so many fires burning right now that the smoke is visible from space.

With the rainforest burning at this unprecedented rate, the fires haven’t started themselves.

Rather, after a video was released of an Amazonian woman saying the fires are intentional, there is belief that the fires are being set by people in an attempt to clear land for cattle ranching, despite the verdicts in lawsuits.

As Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has expressed disdain for conserving the rainforest, his support for industrial growth has reportedly encouraged ranchers and other developers to move more brazenly into undeveloped forest

First Indigenous self government agreement STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — Negotiations have concluded on a proposed self-government agreement in Ontario that the federal government says would be the first of its kind if ratified.

The milestone shows groundwork has been laid for First Nations in Ontario to move beyond the Indian Act, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said

Friday. ``This is what the journey and the pathway to self-determination looks like,'' she said.

The agreement is an example of the recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership sought by the Liberal government in forging a new relationship with Indigenous Peoples, she added.

Parliament passed the Indian Act in 1876, giving the federal government enormous power over the control of registered First

Nations people, bands and the reserve system.

The federal government said four parts of the act that deal with governance will no longer apply to Anishinabek First Nations who ratify the proposed agreement.

The changes would mean that First Nations could make decisions about leadership, citizenship, government operations and how to best protect and promote their language and culture.

Anishinabek First Nations are set to hold a

ratification vote in February 2020.

Moving ahead with the proposed agreement will not involve chiefs and council taking decisions, Bennett said Friday, adding the real engagement process begins now to make sure citizens have information they need come February.

Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare said in an interview Friday that the agreement has been ``many years in the making.''

2020 World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education Thousands of people from across the globe are expected to meet in South Australia for the World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education 2020, which is now accepting workshop proposals.

The World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education (WIPCE) 2020 will bring Indigenous representatives from across the globe to the Adelaide Convention Centre from 2-6 November next year.

The event, which runs roughly every three years, has been held in countries across the world, including Canada, Hawaii and Peru.

WIPCE 2020 academic program committee assistant Mark Tranthim-Fryer said previous events had attracted between 2000 and 4000 delegates.

Tranthim-Fryer said he expected a similar number to convene in Adelaide.

Focused on the theme of “Sovereignty: Our Voices, Our Futures”, WIPCE 2020 will feature a program of keynote presentations, networking opportunities, interactive workshops and discussion forums.

The event is being hosted by the South Australian Aboriginal Education and Training Consultative Council, which is the peak body for engaging with Aboriginal people and community on education matters in South Australia, in collaboration with independent educational institution Tauondi Aboriginal College.

Expressions of interest are open for event delegates and sponsors – and workshop proposals are being accepted.

Proposals must address the conference theme and be led by an indigenous person.

“If we’re talking about sovereignty, then the primary principal is on the premise of indigenous

people to be responsible for their own community development,” Tranthim-Fryer said.

“They should be listened to first and foremost. Certainly, there’s other support around and agencies and so on, but for an event like this it’s really important it’s indigenous led.”

Proposal submissions close on November 1, 2019.

Tranthim-Fryer said they had already received interest from a broad range of communities to attend next year’s event.

“There has been a lot of interest from Australia and New Zealand, North America, Canada, the USA and increasingly from South America, Asia, the Arctic Circle and Africa,” Tranthim-Fryer said.

“We’re trying to translate things into Spanish and Cantonese for the North American and Asian indigenous people.”

There are about 370 million indigenous people living in 90 countries around the globe, according to United Nations statistics.

Tranthim-Fryer said the WIPCE 2020 is a chance for indigenous people from all communities to share their education ideas and strategies.

He said while the event was still in its early days, he expected the program to be available towards the end of this year.

“We’re still more than 400 days out but we expect there could be somewhere between 200 and 300 workshops,” Tranthim-Fryer said.

“There’ll be an opening and closing ceremony, which is often quite impressive and a parade of nations from across the world.”

The WIPCE 2020 will also include cultural performances, experiences and forums throughout the week.

All drug misuse can lead to brain injury.

Hypoxic brain injury, which is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain, is an under-reported consequence of overdose. This can lead to coma, seizures and death. The long-term consequences of hypoxia depend on how long the brain is without an adequate supply of oxygen. The longer a person is not breathing, the more damage is being done to their brain.

A brain injury can result in mild to severe impairment of: -Movement, balance and co-ordination.

-Senses such as hearing or vision.

-Spoken and written communication-.

Thinking, concentration and memory.

-In severe cases, brain injuries from overdoses can leave people in a vegetative state.

First Aid for Drug Overdose

A range of signs and symptoms can occur when a person overdoses, and everyone responds differently. Signs and symptoms depend on a variety of factors including which drug is taken, the amount taken and the personʼs state of health at the time.

If you canʼt get a response from someone, do not assume they are asleep. Sometimes it can take hours for someone who has overdosed to die.

An overdose is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

Always call an ambulance if you suspect someone has overdosed.

HOW TO BE A GOOD FRIEND...

1. BE BOLD AND SAY HELLO! Sometimes a person who is nervous might seem like they don’t like you. A simple smile and wave can make them feel more comfortable and start a new friendship.

2. BE A GOOD LISTENER. Don’t interrupt and offer supportive advice if asked.

3. BE LOYAL. Stand up for your friend when others are putting them down.

4. PRACTICE RESPECT. It is ok to talk about how you see the world, even if you have different ideas than other people.

Being a good friend means listening to someone’s perspective without being mean to them because you disagree.

5. SHARE THE LOVE. If you know someone who has been bullied and who might not have friends, try reaching out to them. Meeting new people is half the fun of every new experience.

NEW MEXICO — Indigenization is the process of putting an indigenous take on something that has a mainstream concept.

This has been done over and over through art, stories and other medium as the thirst to share and see indigenous perspectives has grown.

But in the furthest reaches of indigenization comes the concept that a theme such as that within Fifty Shades of Grey could be indigenized. And in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a casting call was made for indigenous actresses to work on a film to do just that.

“The Daily Life of Mistress Red” is set to be a Sun Dance short film

An image of Peshawn Bread, the Comanche filmmaker behind it all .PHOTO FROM FACEBOOK.

“mockumentary” that will focus on Marie, a Native dominatrix for hire who finds healing through whipping her white male clients.

The casting call is looking for indigenous women aged 20-25 and is backed by the concept creator Peshawn Bread, who is a Comanche filmmaker and a 2019 Native Filmmakers Lab fellow.

“Indian country, I need your help finding strong native women to fulfill the roles of Marie, Bunny who is her supporting fashion

extraordinaire funny cousin and Taylor who is an activist at heart conducting the interview!” wrote Bread to Facebook, who heads the casting call.

Bread put into words how she hopes to capture the diversity of indigenous women and people in her casting and is accepting all applications for auditions which will take place in October in Santa Fe. Within a Sun Dance interview she also noted that she was at first worried about being accepted for her film concept, but overcame it with the knowledge that she was surrounded by a great network of help.

“If you feel that you resonate with the characters email us for casting at redambitioncasting@ gmail.com," she wrote.

While as of last Thursday, Bolsonaro also claimed his government “lacks the resources” to fight the blaze, but many environmental groups

are now blaming him directly for the high level of devastation. It was also revealed through leaked documents last week that Brazil’s controversial farright president actively and surely wants to devastate the rainforest — he may have also had a hand in ensuring that the rest of the world didn’t know about the fires for three weeks.

He reportedly rejected the G7's $20 million aid package as the fires continue, and without providing evidence, suggested the fires were set by nongovernmental organizations in retaliation to funding cuts, which he later denied.

Last Friday, there were 2500 fires, and all were attributed to humans.

But the influx of young talent like goalie Douglas Jamieson, transition in Brendan Bomberry and defence in Tyson Bomberry and the use of junior standouts like Austin Staats and Tehoka Nanticoke helped change the face of the team.

Then big trades to acquire Lyle Thompson, Shayne Jackson and Chris Cloutier helped the Chiefs, who missed the final for the first time in seven years in 2018, make it back this year against Peterborough.

An NLL season-ending injury that took away Austin Staats forced the Chiefs to go after Jackson and Cloutier to equalize the lefty side.

The Chiefs are hoped to make a come-back in Games Five and Six, with the sixth being held on home soil on Thursday, August 29 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Diné woman leads 360 mile run to raise awareness

By TRT Staff SALT LAKE CITY — A 360-mile run to raise awareness on multiple issues impacting Indigenous people was scheduled to end at the Utah State Capitol on Monday, August 26, the week of the United Nations Civility Conference in Salt Lake City.

It began on August 13. Davina Smith, a Diné mother of 4 and the executive director of the SLC Air Protectors, set out from Bears Ears National Monument with a sacred medicine bundle to run to Utah’s state capitol to call attention to a range of issues of concern to the indigenous people of Utah and beyond.

Momentum has been building steadily, as Smith has been joined by other runners and volunteers along the way.

The runners will make several stops in the Salt Lake Valley this Monday, August 26, culminating in a prayerful gathering at the State Capitol which culminated in the evening.

Runners alongside Davina have included youths and senior citizens as well as young children.

Very few are experienced runners but the reason why they’re running is the same, they mention the shrinking of Bears Ears

and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, contamination from uranium mining, air pollution, the destruction of the Amazon rain forest, the Utah Inland Port and environmental justice.

Originally from Monument Valley, Smith said she herself running to bring awareness to other inclusive issues such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, family separation at the U.S. border, the Mauna Kea conflict, and environmental racism.

According to their Facebook page, the SLC Air Protectors is a ‘Native American-led nonprofit organization that was inspired by Standing Rock to improve air quality, protect the natural environment and support Native American stewardship in Utah through inclusive grassroots organizing.’

Smith is expected to arrive at the Utah State Capitol on Monday. SLC Air Protectors will hold a press conference with speakers at 6:00 p.m..

This week’s United Nations Conference in Salt Lake City was said to have kindled several local youths’ excitement to enter the global conversation around sustainability and interact with those of different cultures.

Government releases updated sexual education curriculum TORONTO — The Ontario government has released the new sexual-education curriculum, replacing a much-criticized teaching plan brought in after the Progressive Conservatives took power last year.

A statement from the province Wednesday said the curriculum for Grades 1 to 8 has been updated following feedback from the public and consultation with experts.

The sex-ed curriculum comes after an interim teaching plan based on 1998 materials was put in place after the 2015 curriculum from the previous Liberal government was repealed.

The Tories scrapped the modernized curriculum

that addressed consent, online bullying, sexting, same-sex relationships and gender identity.

The new document will return to teaching those lessons, but in some cases will do so when students are older.

The curriculum will also include teachings on cannabis and concussions.

Education Minister Stephen Lecce said in a statement that the new teaching plan will ``keep kids safe in and outside of the classroom.''

Parents will be able to opt out of having their kids exposed to certain topics in the sex-ed class, such as ``human development'' lessons, and the government will issue online resources

for those who want guidance on discussing those topics at home. ``Parents are the primary educators of their children and are their children's first role models. It is important that schools and parents work together so that both home and school provide a supportive framework for young people's education,'' said a statement from the curriculum's overview.

The province is requiring school boards to have an exemption policy by the end of November.

The government is also boasting that the curriculum includes enhanced teaching on mental health and ``social-emotional learning skills.''

TORONTO — Ontario's Progressive Conservative government released a new health and physical education curriculum Wednesday, including sexed components that are largely similar to the previous Liberal government curriculum that the Tories maligned as ideological.

Here are five topics that have changed: Sexual orientation will be a mandatory topic taught in Grade 5, earlier than in the Liberals' 2015 curriculum, which had it in Grade 6.

Students will have to ``identify intersecting factors that affect the development of a person's self-concept, including their sexual orientation.'' Gender identity will be a mandatory topic in Grade 8 _ it was previously mandatory in Grade 6. Students will have to ``demonstrate an understanding of gender identity (e.g., male, female, Two-Spirit, transgender), gender expression, and sexual orientation (e.g., heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual), and identify factors that can help individuals of all identities and orientations develop a positive self-concept.''

CONSENT The previous curriculum had consent as a mandatory topic in Grade 7, requiring students to explain the concept and how consent is communicated. It was also included as an optional teacher prompt in Grade 6,

with discussions on how only a clear ``yes'' is a signal of consent. Students in Grade 1 must now demonstrate an understanding of the importance of consent, in the context of caring behaviours. Students in Grade 2 must explain the importance of consent and demonstrate the ability to stand up for themselves and others, such as reporting improper touching.

CYBERBULLYING AND ONLINE SAFETY Cyberbullying was previously a mandatory topic in Grade 7, but that now moves to Grade 4. Students will be expected to ``describe various types of bullying, abuse, and other non-consensual behaviour,'' including cyberbullying, and identify the impacts they can have and appropriate ways of responding. As early as Grade 1, students will be asked to demonstrate an understanding of how to stay safe at home, in the community, when online and outdoors.

Various other lessons on online risks are included, such as talking about online personal safety in Grade 2 and cyberbullying, including homophobic remarks, in Grade 5.

CANNABIS AND VAPING Recreational cannabis has been legalized for adults since the previous curriculum was published, and the new version contains many more references to it. The previous

curriculum had lessons on the effects of cannabis ``and other illicit drugs'' in Grade 6. Now in Grade 5, students will have to identify factors that affect a person's decision to drink alcohol or use cannabis.

The effects of cannabis will still be discussed in Grade 6, as well as other drugs, including a mention of opioids, which were not mentioned in the previous curriculum. The effects of vaping are mentioned now, starting in Grade 4. It was not previously mentioned in the curriculum.

CONCUSSIONS Since the introduction of the 2015 curriculum, the Ontario legislature has passed a concussion safety law, named after Rowan Stringer, a teen who died from second impact syndrome after multiple concussions as a rugby player. The curriculum now includes 80 mentions of the word concussion, and lessons on concussion safety start in Grade 1. Those students must ``demonstrate behaviours and apply procedures that maximize safety and lessen the risk of injury, including the risk of concussion, for themselves and others during physical activity.'' In the previous curriculum, concussions were mentioned as an example in a Grade 8 requirement that students ``identify situations that could lead to injury or death.''
