Six Nations parents request provincial measures for bullying CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — The mothers of two Six Nations children turned to social media earlier this month — to publicly address bullying situations that their sons were facing while attending Oliver M. Smith Elementary School (OMS). Autumn Barnhart, the mother of a Grade Four student at the school posted a long post on September 4 that has garnered 1300 impressions, 1000 shares and 416 comments. In it, she describes that in the first week of school her son allegedly endured physical harassment. She writes that “he was kicked in the stomach at recess and pushed down in gym,” along with enduring verbal and emotional harassment while at the school. Barnhart says the situation her son found himself in made him a “poster child for bullying.” “Sadly my son has been hurt many times, has be-
SIX NATIONS — As pictured above, on the left stands Oliver M. Smith El-ementary School and on the right, Lloyd S. King Elementary School. The Six Nations community hosts seven schools, while the Mississaugas of the Credit hosts one, and each are hoped to be held to standards of en-suring safe and healthy environments for their students. Unfortunately, posts to Facebook have highlighted the PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN issue of bullying and a call for change was created.
come broken and fears he will never have any friends. He fears school every day and has become anxious in spending his days in a place that was meant to be welcoming, kind and beneficial,” wrote Barnhart in a statement to the Two Row Times.“ “Bullying has increased substantially regardless of all efforts to eliminate it. A zero tolerance should be in effect for all school boards nationwide and this should include all reserves, like our very own Six Nations,” she
wrote. A second Six Nations mother, Miranda Hill, wrote a post that has reached 4200 impressions, 2000 shares and 844 comments. The post depicted her son, who is in Grade Five at the same school, home in tears after allegedly being bullied for his appearance on his first day. When asked for a statement, the faculty at Oliver M. Smith Elementary School referred the Two Row Times to Linda Britt, who is a representative of
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) based out of Thunder Bay. The ISC is half of the former Department of Indian Affairs — and was created by the federal government in 2017 to provide and support the delivery of services such as health care, child care, education and infrastructure to First Nations communities. TRT reached out to Britt for a statement, who wrote back that “immediate action was taken to address” the situations once the school was informed.
When asked specifically about the process, by which a bullying situation is dealt with once reported, Britt wrote that Six Nations follows the Safe and Caring Schools Policy. “All student behaviour that is deemed unacceptable is addressed,” she wrote. “When a school is informed of an incident, school staff respond immediately and effectively to all student and parent concerns. This is accompanied by promoting traditional knowledge that is grounded in the cultural, historical and Haudenosaunee values of the Six Nations communities.” “If it is determined that an incident has occurred, interventions and supports with the parent and the student are explored. Consequences as warranted are imposed by the school. Supports are provided from within the school and through outside agencies.” When asked about available empowerment programs, she wrote that there are programs and cited one in particular; the Youth
Life Promotions Program which “is used regularly to support students in crisis or having difficulty with friendships,” on Six Nations. “The program also offers restorative justice circles when parent consent is received to repair friendships and help students to deal with conflict,” she wrote. Hill’s son was a new student at OMS after he was forced to transfer onto Six Nations from Lloyd S. King Elementary School in the Mississaugas of the Credit district. “He got off the bus and I noticed something was wrong, so I asked him ‘what happened, what’s going on?’” said Hill in an interview. “As soon as the bus went, he just burst out in tears, he had anxiety and I asked him what was wrong and finally he told me. He said the he was getting bullied by these kids at school. I said ‘well what were they saying, what are they doing?’ And he said they were calling him names like ‘big chungus’ and there were CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Parents request provincial measures for bullying CONTINUED other kids that he didn’t pick out, just the one that started it.” The experience pushed Hill’s son to tell her that he was feeling suicidal. According to Suicide Awareness Voices for Education, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among 15 to 24 year-olds. Additionally, 16 percent of students consider suicide; 13 percent create a plan, and 8 percent have made a serious attempt. Hill says she called the school and notified the vice-principal, who told her that the issue would be looked into. The next day, Hill says she kept her son home from school and by Thursday the vice-principal let Hill know that they found the student and that the other parents were aware of what was going on, and that consequences were put in place. “But they wouldn’t give me anything on how they would deal with it, there was just nothing. My son said that the child had apologized, but I still don’t
know what consequences that they were talking about,” she said. “They also kind of demanded that I take my [Facebook] post down.” “I had no idea that it was a school where a lot of bullying took place,” she said. “To me, when they were asking me to take my post down it was like ‘be quiet, keep it behind closed doors.’” The mothers’ two Facebook posts created a space for discussion and outrage at the issue of bullying on Six Nations. Soon after, an online peti-tion followed, whereby the petition creator Tim Mt. Pleasant highlighted issues that he believes contribute to the culture of bullying on Six Nations. The petition itself hopes to garner 1000 signatures, of which it currently has 745, to request a meeting with the ISC to implement the provincial standards for anti-bullying on-reserve — which includes suspension and expulsion parameters for bullying.
TWO ROW TIMES His points aim to prove that the cause of bullying behaviour stems from several issues which began with: “children of teachers and principals be-ing permitted to attend the same school, thereby allowing a conflict of interest into the system. He then continued to include: “that there is a lack of reporting relationship that exists between the staff of Indigenous Services Canada within our schools and the community; the lack of control that the community has to resolve issues within the schools; the lack of anti-oppressive practice that exists within Indigenous Services Canada when dealing with the school, explicitly recognizing the privilege that ISC staff deem that they have; the lack of a complaints resolution process, that is effective when addressing conflicts between students within the schools.” Hill’s son has now left OMS and returned to Lloyd S. King Elementary School. Laura Duguid, a power lifter from the Alpha Power and Perfor-mance Training Gym in Brantford reached out after seeing the Facebook post. She sponsored Hill’s son for 12 free sessions to begin
3
the kid’s weight lifting program with the team, saying that he is “such a sweet boy.” “When I saw the post I thought ‘here’s a kid who doesn’t realize all of the genetic advantages that he has in terms of our sport,’” said Duguid in an interview. “So he isn’t seeing his body in the way that we would see it as a positive.” Duguid then gave him the opportunity to visit the Civic Centre in Brantford to meet the coaches and competitors, who each use power lifting as a means for self-esteem and positive body image without paying
much at-tention to the aesthetic or a scale number. Once there, Hill’s son met with one of the coaches, who is roughly 400 pounds and a weight lifting record breaker. “You could just see his face light up when he saw him,’ said Duguid. “We can’t wait to get him into the gym because I think he’s going to surprise himself at the things that he’ll be able to do and things that he might have been shying away from.” A recent study reported that in school settings, adults don’t see bullying 96% of the time. That
leaves a very small 4% window for bullying to be documented, intercepted and reprimanded by an instructor. Without the successful measures being taken at the school, the involvement of parents outside of the school body becomes more prevalent. Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week has been established as part of the Education Act as beginning on the third Sunday in November of each year. If you are experiencing any form of bullying and need someone to talk to, you can call the Kids Help Line at 1-800-668-6868.

Invasive reeds on Six Nations STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — An invasive species of common reeds on Six Nations is proving to be a big job for local ecologists to manage — one that could potentially lead to complications for Six Nations indigenous ecosystems. Phragmites australis, also known as common reeds, are an invasive species restricted under the Invasive Species Act. The Carole Smith, Operations Manager at Kayanase presented to Six
Nations General Council meeting on Tuesday to explain how complicated managing this invasive species is and how important it is for Six Nations residents to get rid of it. “It creates a monoculture. It is the only plant that can survive in the area. It overcrowds native plants and that includes medicinal plants,” said Smith. The reed can reach heights of 20 feet high. Smith says those reeds cannot simply be cut down or burned. Smith told SNEC the way Kayanase is remov-
ing patches of the plant is to spray the area with glyphosate. Smith says Kayanse complies with the Ontario Pesticides Act and that residents are advised not to enter areas that have been sprayed for 48 hours after a treatment. “This is a big issue. It requires a long-term solution. Phragmites can take 3-5 years to remove it from your property,” said Smith. Kayanase is working on a project for next year that would map patches of phragmites in the community to monitor the spread of the invasive species.

Colonization is at its height in our First Nation communities. By Rachel A. Snow We have forgotten the songs and ceremonies to celebrate the birth of child, the coming of age of our young people and the ways of being warriors. For centuries and up to five hundred years ago, we had communities that thrived because of their spiritual connection to the land, waters and Creation. What do we have today? There has been harm inflicted on the original people of Turtle Island. The harm has been insidious because it has affected the thinking of the original people. For centuries, we have been proud and resilient. We had good health and a lifestyle that was in sync with the cosmos. We have carried our stories of power with reverence and truth. Our ancestors walked with us in every-
day exercises. Our connection to the beginning and who we have always been as a spiritual and gifted people remained unbroken. What we have today is almost unbearable. We have had our original governance systems upended. Where we had strong matriarchs, we now have missing and murdered women. Is it any wonder that a patriarchal society that invaded our eastern shores immediately attacked the actual supremacy or societal equality of our women? This is not a gender issue. This is a societal issue that has gone to the heart of who we are as the original peoples of this land. We now hear the lip service that “women are life givers”, or “women are the backbone” of our societies. These are empty words against the on-
slaught of patriarchy that has corrupted the thinking of our people. This is another thing we have learned from the oppressor settlers. Words can be spoken without meaning. Words can go into the cosmos, into the universe but unless they are captured or written down in some document they can be meaningless and empty. This was never our truth. As a Nakoda WÎyan, as a Nakoda woman, I know my role. I have never needed the oppressor government to define who or what I am. The federal government is patting itself on the back for implementing Bill S-3 and for “legislating away” the inequality of who is a status Indian under the Indian Act. The federal government is failing to state that they are the perpetrators of
the original inequality. The federal government is failing to state that they knowingly inflicted a century of identity loss through their racist legislation. The Indian Act legislation is not a law of the Creator. The Indian Act legislation does not define who we are as Nakoda, Dakota, Haudenosaunee, Miq-maq, or any of the other unique nations who were created in this land. How colonized have we become when we laud the oppressor laws that continue to lessen who we are as human beings, but now lessen men and women equally badly? Worse than the federal government insinuating that a “great wrong” has been righted, is our own people’s reaction. Our people are happy to thank our great white fathers and Carolyn Bennett is be-
ing portrayed as the Great White Mother in Canada who made this possible. Canada and the first white patriarchal racist fathers of confederation created the racist Indian Act. They applied their ideas that white women were property into the laws governing Indian women. Women “went” with their men as chattels, as moveable property pieces with wombs. Where is this analysis? I am not opposed to the women who have worked to resolve this issue. I am opposed to Indian Affairs and white male paternalism that introduced this distinction and racist law in the first place. In 1985, my late father sat at the First Minister’s conferences when these meetings were hijacked by displaced women. Speaker after speaker got up to decry the unfairness of
losing “their status”. I remember this time because my late dad said simply; “Our people are inclusive, it was Indian Affairs that took women off the list”. My father also said that our women would be welcomed back, but that the First Nations would be advocating for increased funds to “fix Indian Affairs mess”. I remember this time also because the power of the Chiefs to define the nation-to-nation relationship with Trudeau the elder was disturbed. Suddenly the white male leaders of the day “cared” about the position of the Indian women and were vehement in pointing fingers at existing chiefs. This is the time without Internet. This is the time of whitewashed mainstream media coverage.

The road to reconciliation starts with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples By Sheryl Lightfoot Canada Research Chair in Global Indigenous Rights and Politics and Associate Professor in Political Science, Public Policy and Indigenous Studies, University of British Columbia When the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada concluded its work almost four years ago, it provided a road map for Canadians to follow. That road map, the 94 Calls to Action, aims to ``revitalize the relationship between Aboriginal Peoples and Canadian society'' after more than 100 years of the traumatic and systemic removal of Indigenous children from their families. Call No. 43 underpinned all others, according to the commission. The commission urged federal, provincial and territorial governments to fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. They called it ``the framework'' for all reconciliation measures ``at all levels and across all sectors of society.'' It's extremely rare for international human rights standards to even be mentioned in the Canadian policy debate. However, when Canada voted against the declaration in 2007 at the United Nations, it was the first time that Canada had ever stood in opposition to an international human rights standard. It remains today the only international human rights standard in Canada up for debate. Former prime minister Stephen Harper issued an official apology for residential schools in 2008. However, my ongoing
study on state apologies to Indigenous Peoples demonstrates that apologies without clear policy shift are typically rejected as ``empty gestures.'' International standards of justice require that those responsible for human rights violations must do more than acknowledge and apologize for the harm that has been done. They must go further. They must take every reasonable measure to set things right and to prevent any recurrence of harms. A closer look at the history of the declaration and its unique framework for human rights protection underscores the TRC's wisdom in highlighting its indispensable role in reconciliation.
THE BIRTH OF THE DECLARATION The idea for an international standard on Indigenous Peoples' rights emerged out of several grassroots Indigenous movements in North America. Those movements were informed by their connections to traditional Indigenous forms of governance. They were also influenced by the U.S. civil rights movement, as well as decolonization movements across the Global South. Fed up with government policies and frustrated by the lack of neutral avenues for dispute resolution, these Indigenous movements took their cause to the international level, hoping to appeal to wider global consciousness on human rights. Winona LaDuke of Anishinaabe (Ojibwa) and Jewish heritage was 18 years old when she addressed the 1977 UN gathering in Geneva as
part of the Indian Treaty Council. Indigenous diplomacy at the UN in Geneva and New York carved out a unique space where Indigenous peoples could actually sit down with states and jointly create a mutually agreed framework for recognition, protection and fulfilment of our rights. The process of developing the text for declaration began with the creation of a special working group within the UN human rights system in August 1982. This was the first time that the direct beneficiaries of a global human rights instrument standard were also its co-authors. On Sept. 13, 2007, a full 25 years after the writing process began, the UN General Assembly adopted the declaration as a body of ``minimum standards'' that all states are expected to uphold. The very length of this process — a quarter-century —tells us a lot about the depth of resistance that Indigenous peoples had to overcome to bring the declaration to life. It also speaks volumes about the dedication of all those Indigenous advocates from around the world who returned to the UN year after frustrating year until eventually, they prevailed. As Dalee Sambo Dorough, now president of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, said during the final years of the negotiation process: ``I truly would love to just be at home enjoying my rights, and not having to pound the halls of the United Nations to gain a little respect, to gain some recognition of my inherent rights as an Indigenous woman, or the collective rights that I share with my
modern technology, not much has changed. While we have some social media outlets and our own indigenous media, colonized thinking remains embedded in our psyche. This was a lost opportunity. The failure of our strong leadership and communal thinking Chiefs to argue at
the national level is a monumental shift in the continued colonization of our people. Section 35 was achieved through prayer and ceremony. Chiefs, led by the Alberta region sought a guarantee of historic, international treaty rights when Canada was trying to flex its state muscle.
people.''
REFUTING THE DOCTRINES OF RACIAL SUPERIORITY Human rights lawyers and scholars often say the declaration creates no new rights. They say they have been developed on the foundation of other international human rights standards with vast global experience in their interpretation and application. But, as I have written in my book, Global Indigenous Rights: A Subtle Revolution, the specific way the declaration approaches these existing rights is subtly revolutionary. The declaration's approach helps to transform the often Eurocentric discourse of human rights to more fully encompass Indigenous worldviews, histories and contemporary struggles. With the adoption of the declaration, the famous words ``We the peoples of the United Nations'' at long last became inclusive of the realities of Indigenous Peoples. It made way for Indigenous Peoples who seek a multiplicity of new relationships with UN member states within whose boundaries our territories and nations have been divided and subsumed. The declaration reinvigorates the themes of self-determination, decolonization and anti-discrimination that are the foundations of the United Nations. In its preamble, the declaration refutes the doctrines of racial superiority that have been used to justify the dispossession of Indigenous peoples around the world. In its provisions, the declaration calls for
concrete remedies for the harms that have resulted from this dispossession. Reconciliation: Much work needs to be done For more than 10 years, I have been attending various international meetings such as the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues that support the ongoing work of implementing the declaration. I am also working with Indigenous academics and other partners around the world to share knowledge and experience about the growing body of implementation measures at the national and regional levels. While the era of UN declaration implementation is well underway, enormous work remains to be done. This is as true of Canada as it is of the rest of the world. The declaration calls for redress and rights protection through a wide range of specific provisions on matters such as Indigenous languages, cultural property, sacred sites, traditional medicines, environmental protection and the rights of children and families. More than anything, however, the declaration recognizes Indigenous Peoples' continued authority, as self-determining peoples, over decisions affecting our lives and futures. James Anaya, a former UN special rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, has said the declaration's foundation in established human rights obligations, the direct involvement of Indigenous peoples in its development and the exhaustive deliberations that led to its final adoption give the declaration a unique ``moral, political and, yes, legal'' weight that makes its implementation all the
more imperative. In 2018, the House of Commons passed a private member's bill, Bill C-262 — put forth by NDP MP Romeo Saganash — meant to create a legislative framework for federal implementation of the declaration. Key provisions of the bill included review of federal laws and direct collaboration with First Nations, Inuit and Metis people in establishing policy priorities. These measures are key to meaningful implementation by the federal government. The story of Bill C-262 is bittersweet, however. The House of Commons adopted the law, which was further supported by a unanimous motion in the House. These facts give some hope of seeing the legislative framework adopted in the future. In the end, however, the opportunity to pass the legislation in the current session of Parliament was lost because the bill was stalled by Senate filibustering. This highlights the considerable remaining resistance, much of it partisan, to the concrete implementation of the declaration. For this to change, more people must take the time to learn about the declaration. More people need to see their way past the myths and misrepresentations that confuse its actual content and implications. More people need to join the ranks of those who have already championed the UN declaration — an indispensable part of the national project of reconciliation.

HAMILTON —The police chief in Hamilton has apologized to the LGBTQ community for comments he made on the radio that caused an uproar with the city's gay population. Chief Eric Girt spoke to CHML radio host Bill Kelly about the strained relationship that has escalated following criticism of the police force's response to a violent disturbance at a Pride event. Girt talked about how Hamilton police had received complaints years ago from families about sex in public washrooms when he was asked about making amends. ``So we worked collaboratively to say, 'Ok, we understand this may not be the best place to do it, and I understand you've got consenting adults to do that, but it's in a public place so we've got to strike a balance there,''' Girt said on the radio. ``It's different than the bath house, it's different than the other things that have gone on through the course of time, but my point is, if you can work
collaboratively to meet both objectives _ because the last thing we want to do too is cause additional harm to whoever's been involved in that activity.'' Girt's comments caused additional harm to Cameron Kroetsch, an LGBTQ advocate in Hamilton. He said Girt's statements suggest the gay community is a danger to families and kids. ``Frankly, I thought it was disgusting for him to say that,'' said Kroetsch. Girt said in a statement Friday that he understands the impact of his words. ``These comments were made as I attempted to illustrate a point about legislative change. I appreciate the impact of the words I chose and for this, I apologize,'' he said, adding that he is committed to repairing the relationship with the gay community. Girt's comments come after months of issues between the police force and the city's LGBTQ community, which was sparked by accusations that there was a lack of action from
officers following an altercation at a Pride event in June. Police have said they responded to a large disturbance at the event at Gage Park on June 15 that resulted in a physical confrontation. Officers escorted a religious group TMthe yeland members of low vest movement, a populist group that originated in France, off of event property. Investigators said the groups were displaying anti-LGBTQ signs and there was an argument with the event's attendees. Police laid multiple charges after the incident, which involved two anti-Pride groups, but LGBTQ leaders and groups have criticized the police force for not making arrests immediately at the event and only when there was uproar from the community. Pride Hamilton said afterward that there have been ``long-standing issues'' between the city's gay community and police that remain unresolved.

First Nations given max compensation for Ottawa's child welfare discrimination CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — A Friday ruling by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal about Canada's treatment of Indigenous children demands a full investigation of the federal Indigenous-affairs department, says child-welfare advocate Cindy Blackstock. The tribunal ruled the federal government had been ``wilful and reckless'' in discriminating against First Nations children living on reserves by chronically and knowingly underfunding child-welfare services. It ordered the federal government to pay $40,000 for every First Nations child who was inappropriately taken away from his or her parents after 2006. The same amount is to be paid to each of their parents. Children who were abused
in foster care and those who had basic services, like medical care, denied to them are also each entitled to $40,000. That's the maximum the tribunal can award. The Assembly of First Nations estimates about 54,000 children and their parents could be eligible for the money, meaning the total bill will likely exceed $2 billion. The tribunal has given the AFN, the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society and the federal government until December to come up with a plan for determining who is eligible for the compensation and how it will be paid. Blackstock, the executive director of the caring society and a member of the Gitxsan First Nation in British Columbia, said the tribunal's findings make clear Canada didn't learn from its apologies and compensation awarded for residential schools and
the Sixties Scoop. She said if they had learned, this case wouldn't have been necessary. ``I want the whole department to be independently evaluated and all of the inequalities facing First Nations children to be costed out by the parliamentary budget officer,'' she said. The compensation follows the tribunal's 2016 finding of discrimination, saying Ottawa refused for years to provide the same amount of funding for child-welfare services on reserves as provincial governments provided for kids living off-reserve. The money available for kids was the same on and off reserve only when they were in foster care. The result: a mass removal of children from their families. Fewer than 10 per cent of the children in Canada are Indigenous but more than half the children in care are. In its 93-page order,
the tribunal panel said the maximum compensation award is reserved for the worst cases of discrimination. ``No amount of compensation can ever recover what you have lost, the scars that are left on your souls or the suffering that you have gone through as a result of racism, colonial practices and discrimination,'' the panel wrote. When Blackstock first brought the case in 2007, Indigenous Affairs was a single department. In 2017 the Liberals divided it into two: the departments of Crown-Indigenous Relations and of Indigenous Services. She said it was a good day for kids but ``also a wake-up call for Canadians.'' ``Treating kids fairly should not require a court order,'' she said. Since its ruling in 2016, the tribunal has said 10 times that Ottawa failed to comply with orders to fix
the funding discrepancies. In 2018, the Liberals finally committed to funding prevention services at the needed levels. Blackstock said while that has mostly happened, Ottawa refused to fund supports for those services, such as for buildings to house programs. Kevin Deagle, spokesman for Indigenous Services Minister Seamus O'Regan, said Friday the government is reviewing the tribunal's compensation order. He said it touches on ``important and complex issues'' the Liberals take seriously. ``We understand that systemic issues require systemic responses,'' he said. ``We're dealing with a broken system and we need to fix it.'' If the government wants to appeal, Blackstock said it has to file it Oct. 7, which would be two weeks before the federal election. She said Canadians should ask every candidate who comes
to their doorsteps what their plan is to fix this long-standing discrimination against vulnerable children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde said he hopes the government does not appeal because doing so would be a slap in the face to the idea of reconciliation. ``The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has put Canada on notice that it can't continue this fundamental breach of human rights,'' he said. NDP MP Charlie Angus, who represents a northern Ontario riding, called the tribunal's findings ``a damning indictment'' of the policies of both Liberal and Conservative governments. ``In the process they destroyed the lives of children,'' he said. ``I'm glad they're finally having to pay for the damage they have done.''

Review of Inuit children in care finds N.L. system lacking in cultural respect ST. JOHN'S, NL — An independent review of Inuit children in Newfoundland and Labrador's child protection system says the current system is ``crisis-oriented'' and lacks respectful involvement of Inuit families and culture. Provincial child and youth advocate Jackie Lake Kavanagh released her report, A Long Wait for Change, Wednesday. It reviews case files and literature on Indigenous children in care and features interviews with people affected by the system. The report found
``pervasive'' mistrust and fear among Inuit people towards child protection authorities and reported that separation of children from families resulted in a disconnect from culture, making transitions home more difficult. ``There is an urgent need to begin to work in a different way with Inuit children and youth now,'' the report says. The study was launched in 2018 at the request of the Nunatsiavut Inuit government in Labrador following concerns over the number of Inuit children be-

ing placed outside their communities. As of 2018, about 15 per cent of the province's 1,005 children in care _ 150 children _ were Inuit, according to the report. By comparison, just 1.3 per cent of the province's population is Inuit, according to the 2016 census. Of the Inuit children in care, 65 resided in homes on the island of Newfoundland and 85 were in Labrador. In a sample review of 67 case files, the report found only one-third of children in the study sample had exposure to
the Inuktitut language while in care. A goal of family visits every six to eight weeks is in place, but the report found ``no consistency for access,'' and most parents had to travel to see their children. The distance separating families was especially difficult, according to the report, as travel was hindered by cancellations and weather. Children were sometimes afraid of travelling home in small planes. Some children reported forgetting their language, difficulty pronouncing their own last names and not knowing

their siblings' names. Children said they missed home and felt the loss of their culture contributed to a loss of identity. ``When supported and nurtured, this identity is a source of strength, pride and hope. Our file review showed that this does not seem to be truly appreciated,'' Lake Kavanagh wrote. For the most part, foster parents wanted to help children maintain connections to their families and culture but felt they had not received adequate cultural training from the provincial government. Gerald Asivak, Nunatsiavut's minister of health and social development, said the ``long overdue'' report was met positively at an event in Nain, Labrador on Wednesday. ``There was some weeping and some emotion, but I think in a positive regard for finally being heard,'' Asivak said by phone. He said he's confident that all recommendations are achievable in collaboration with the provincial government, and expressed confidence in the commitment of his provincial counterpart, Lisa Dempster, who was present in Nain for the report's release. Lake Kavanagh identified untapped potential for community-based care, but noted the high vacancies and turnover in Labrador-based social work positions. She recommends the province actively recruit and support care workers in Inuit communities and focus on crisis prevention rather than reaction to better keep families together. She made 33 recommendations, including that the province begin laying the groundwork for an eventual transfer of child protection services to the Nunatsiavut Government. Overall, people showed ``remarkable'' resolve for improving the system, the report reads, but meaningful change is held back by mistrust, partly stemming from intergenerational trauma of residential schools and parents who have lived in
care themselves. ``If the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador moves forward with a commitment to genuine and meaningful change with Inuit communities and governments, it will have no shortage of participants in that process. But Inuit will need to be engaged respectfully and as equals,'' it says. The Nunatsiavut government is working towards eventually taking over full responsibility of child protection services, Asivak said, with some social workers already hired and new programs in place for training, but there is no firm date for the full transition. In the meantime, Asivak, himself a former social worker, said the provincial agency can rebuild damaged trust in Inuit communities by having a positive presence, through things like open houses, recruiting foster parents and coming to community events. ``There's trauma. There's a sense that if you go to them, you're in trouble. So breaking some of those old myths,'' he said. Dempster said in a phone interview her department will analyze the report in detail before accepting all its recommendations. She said the new Children, Youth and Families Act, which became law in June, includes sections that prioritize keeping Indigenous children with families and communities and care placements that support their culture. She said the department is a developing a new, more culturally sensitive training model for social workers to improve trust with Inuit families and will work with Nunatsiavut government officials on strengthening the system. ``We all want better outcomes for these children and youth that we are working with, and we don't want there to be trust issues,'' Dempster said. ``We want it to be a positive, healthy relationship. We're going to continue to strive for that.''

'A solemn space': first interior shots of Franklin's HMS Terror released It remains, despite nearly two centuries beneath the Arctic seas, amazingly shipshape. First pictures from inside the HMS Terror, part of the doomed Franklin Expedition, show tidy rows of crockery, neatly stowed storage lockers — even a propeller sitting solidly in place as if ready for a head of steam. ``Overturned armchairs, thermometers on the wall, stacked plates, chamberpots, washbasins — often in their correct position,'' said Ryan Harris, one of a team of Parks Canada underwater archaeologists probing the secrets of the British warship lost around
1848 while searching for the Northwest Passage. ``We were able to see an incredible array of artifacts.'' The Terror and the Erebus, now lying in shallower water just to the south of its sister ship's watery berth off Nunavut's King William Island, set out from England in 1845. Commander Sir John Franklin and his 129 men never returned. More than 30 expeditions tried to find them. A few artifacts, graves and horrible tales of cannibalism is all they uncovered. But with a blend of Inuit oral history and systematic, high-tech surveys, the Ere-
bus was found in 2014 and the Terror two years later, to headlines around the world. Since then, Parks Canada has been working to understand what is down there and what light it could shed on a story that has become part of Canadian lore. The 2017 season yielded a complete underwater survey of the Erebus, Franklin's flagship. Bad weather shortened last year's season, but conditions this year couldn't have been better for a first look into the Terror. ``It was sunny and calm,'' said Harris, speaking by satellite phone from the RV David Thompson, the Parks

shortly after you start your descent.'' After numerous dives scouting the exterior, Harris piloted a melon-sized remote camera through an open hatch and into the ship. The images were stunning. ``You have the lights of the ROV penetrating the darkness,'' he said. ``Looking forward in the corridor, you see the list of the ship to starboard. ``And then off to the left, you see a succession of doors into various officers' cabins. Every single sliding door agape. Just imagine piloting the vehicle into one cabin after the next and see the private quarters of each officer. You see the bed places, you see the shelves, shipboard articles on the shelves, scientific instruments in their cases and many, many drawers.'' It was, he said, awe-inspiring. ``You can imagine the bustle of activity that once filled these corridors and cabins and messrooms with clamour,'' Harris said. ``You carefully manoeuvre the ROV into the cabins, you feel like you're in a way violating their privacy. It's exhilarating, but it's quite a solemn space.'' The ship remains so intact the camera was able to visit 90 per cent of it. Some skylights even retain their glass. The only door they found closed was, tantalizingly enough, the one opening on the cabin of captain Francis Crozier. Even more tantalizing are all those cabinets and drawers, probably full of journals and maps, Harris said. Those papers, preserved by cold water and a protective layer of sediment, are likely to be
legible. ``Each drawer potentially has materials that could shed light on the fate of the expedition,'' he said. The Terror's tidy condition only poses another mystery. ``It looks like the ship, in many ways, was fully operational and then suddenly deserted. All the cabin doors were opened, almost as if there was a rush to see if anyone was on board as it sank. We don't know.'' No Terror artifacts have been recovered. The team has first to map the entire site and analyze hundreds of hours of video. Excavation is just starting on the wreck of the Erebus. Harris said he hoped the team could stay at work until mid-September. A total of 65 artifacts previously recovered from the Erebus were retained by the United Kingdom, with many now on tour. Canada and the U.K. will negotiate where those objects will go after the tour is over. Parks Canada is storing other Erebus artifacts. The U.K. has given the ships to Canada. Future plans for both ships will be decided between Parks Canada, the government of Nunavut and Inuit. Harris said local guardians and assistants are playing an important role in the work. ``We work very closely with the guardians,'' he said. Meanwhile, the work continues. Harris can hardly contain his enthusiasm. ``It's just an avalanche of incredible sights, so many things that put you in the place and the time,'' he said. ``We have a lot of work to do.''

TWO ROW TIMES
Kevin Allan Hess was born in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and is Bear foot Onondaga of Six Nations. Kevin has been acting for just over 2 years and was formerly known for his part in Designated Survivor Season 2, Missing You So Bad music video, and an appearance on Paranormal Survivor 5th season Episode Nine "When Spirits Attack”. But now Hess will be known for It Chapter Two. Last summer, Port Hope, Ont., was transformed into the sleepy town of Derry, Maine, where the evil clown Pennywise returned to torment the now-grownup members of the Losers’
Club. Movie sets and masquerading as different cities are nothing new to Toronto. However, the GTA and Ontario also got their 15 minutes of fame after being chosen as the filming locations for It, Stephen King’s creepy clown flick was filmed about 150 kilometres east of Toronto. As a huge production, it took over much of the downtown core last summer and spilled into local parks and side streets. In just four days after its premiere, It: Chapter Two was able to accrue $96.5 million. Hess’s appearance in the film was largely in thanks to his appearance, which is described as being the Hollywood definition of an indigenous chief.
As Mulan will be hitting theatres soon, with the film adapted to new concepts to honour traditional Chinese culture, the rumour that Brother Bear has been chosen to be among the remakes has been circulated in the film industry. Following the massive financial success of Disney’s most recent live-action remakes, the studio is hoping to continue developing plen-
ty more well into the future. In fact, according to our sources – the same ones who told us an Aladdin sequel was happening before it was confirmed a few weeks later – Disney is currently hoping to revamp the 2003 feature Brother Bear some time soon. For those unfamiliar with the source material, the Academy Award-nominated film follows the story of a young Inuit named Kenai. The boy vengefully hunts a bear who he holds responsible for his brother’s death and ends
up taking its life, but in the process, angers the spirits. The spirits then Kenai into a bear as a learning tool for his act of senseless violence. To become human again, the he must embark on a journey to a mountain where the Northern lights touch the earth. Along the way, he’s reluctantly guided by a young bear cub who he soon grows very close to. With characters like Kenai, it is hoped to be cast with indigenous actors an offer opportunity to indigenous commu-
nities. Details on the live-action remake are still scarce right now, as the project sits on a list of films that Disney hopes to eventually remake, but it’s likely that big names will be brought onboard to anchor the cast. The original Brother Bear featured the voice acting of Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix and comedian Rick Moranis, as well as music from legends Phil Collins and Tina Turner.
With Inuit based characters, a remake of Brother Bear is hoped to capture the indigenous perspective with indigenous actors. The memorable fable of Kenai, who is turned into a bear and his journey to learn from his act of revenge, will be welcomed to remake table PHOTO SUBMITTED. as a favourite.

Decoding the historic Inca Knots: The Incan Mathematical System STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A khipu, or knot-record, was a method used by the Incas and other ancient Andean cultures to keep records and communicate information. In the absence of an alphabetic writing system, this highly portable device achieved a surprising degree of precision and flexibility in keeping a record aide memoire to recount stories, myths and poems from the Inca tradition. Khipu were also used to record imperial conquests and royal blood-lines. While incorporating a wide variety of colours, types of string, and sometimes several hundred knots all tied in various ways at various heights, Khipu could also record dates, statistics, accounts, and even represent key episodes from traditional folk stories and poetry. In recent years scholars have also challenged
The Inca Empire collapsed after a century-loing reign, and in their wake, the Incas left the impression of their mathematical system that came in the form of string and rope tying. After much of their culture being destroyed during the Spanish conquest, a scholar found out a way to decode them. PHOTO SUBMITTED
the traditional view that khipu were merely a memory aid device and go so far as to suggest that khipu may have been progressing towards narrative records to aid in oral accounts and became a viable alternative to written language. Knot usage is believed to have piqued just when the Inca Empire collapsed. As one of the world's
oldest civilizations, the Inca Empire was pre-Columbian and located in the western part of South America. By 1527, the Inca Empire spanned an area of about 770,000 square miles, making it one of the largest empires in the world during its prime. The growth of the Inca Empire continued until the 16th century with the coming of the

Spanish. With his team of conquistadors, Francisco Pizzaro received the royal approval from the Spanish queen to conquer the Inca Empire. The coming of the Spanish into Inca led the spread of diseases, particularly influenza and chickenpox, which decreased the output of the working class as well as the nobility. The worst effect was the death of the Incan emperor which left his sons contesting for the throne. Succession disputes between the ruling family, unrests in the newly conquered territories, and the spread of chickenpox further weakened the Inca Empire against external attacks. This made the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire last for 40 years beginning in 1532. Several battles were fought between the Incas and the Spanish who worked together with native allies. The Spanish empire had superiority over the Incas regarding their military knowledge and tactics as well as support from native tribes who sought to end the rule of the Inca dynasty. Later, the struggle between the Spanish and the Incas involved a shift in allegiance with parties avenging the deaths of their leaders or rising in rebellion against Spanish rule. The fall of the Inca Empire ended with the execution of all the Incan rulers and their families
in 1572. After the Spanish conquest, many of the knots were purposely destroyed. Thus destroying the certain ability to understand their meanings. What is still known is that a typical Khipu consists of a horizontal string or even a wooden bar, from which hang numerous knotted and coloured strings made from either cotton or wool. Some of the larger quipu have as many as 1500 strings, and these could also be woven in different ways suggesting that they way they are woven had a meaning as well. The various colour shades used could also carry a specific meaning. The type of knot, the position of it on the string, the total number of knots and the sequence of the knots could all combine to create a potentially huge number of meanings. The whole method was based on a decimal positional system, with the largest decimal used being 10,000. The Inca mathematical system was almost exactly the same as the math system in use today. The numbers or units in the system on a particular khipu are indicated by the strings furthest from the primary string, acting as a sort of key. Different types of knots had different meanings. For example, a knot could indicate a number from one to nine by the turns of string within the knot, a figure-of-eight knot could indicate a fixed value, a 'granny' knot equalled ten, and a string missing a knot signified zero. Secondary strings could also hang from any single string and these could indicate that this string was an exception or of secondary importance to the other strings. Finally, individual khipu could join with others in a specific and meaningful sequence. Naturally, to maximize the khipu's potential for information storage, it was better to have an accompanying oral record
and so there grew a body of experts or masters, the khipu kamayuq. These individuals are believed to have memorized the oral account which fully explained a particular khipu and as the job was hereditary, the oral part was passed from generation to generation. The same as most indigenous oral history. There was a certain pressure attached to the job, however, as lapses in memory could be severely punished. With the help of his professor, a scholar of Pre-Columbian studies interpreted a set of six khipus by matching the khipus to a colonial-era Spanish census document. The scholar uncovered the meaning of the cords in greater detail than ever before and their findings could contribute to a better understanding of daily life in the Andean civilization. A turning point came when Urton began looking into a set of six khipus from the 17th-century Santa River Valley region of Northwest Peru. One day, Urton picked up a book and happened to spot a Spanish census document from the same region and time period. Medrano noticed that the way each cord was tied onto the khipu seemed to correspond to the social status of the 132 people recorded in the census document. The colors of the strings also appeared to be related to the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first names. The correlations seemed too strong to be a coincidence. After spring break, Medrano told his professor about his theories. The professor, based out of Harvard College, is now optimistic that the six khipus examined in the research could serve as a key to decode the hundreds of others he has in his database. The colours of the cords as they relate to first names was the first hint that hat scholar have believed to be correlations are the start.

Representing the Walpole Island First Nation, Durston scored 81 goals and recorded 112 assists in his 71-game career with the Vancouver Stealth and Buffalo Bandits. He began playing professionally during the 2016 season after making junior stops in Wallaceburg and Six Nations. He later had a year to remember with the Bandits this past season, battling to within one win of a National Lacrosse League championship. He said that he “couldn’t be more excited,” for the oncoming championship as his name made its debut on the roster earlier this week. “I couldn’t be more excited to be picked for this team,” wrote Durston in a statement. “It’s definitely a dream come true and I can’t wait to get going at the tournament. I honestly think the team is prepared and hungry to bring home a gold. Ever since I’ve been asked to come try out and
be apart of this process all that we've talked about is Canada and what we can do to beat them. I’m fully prepared and I think the team is as well and I think everyone is excited to start playing!” And as a forward, he is an asset that is hoped to be put to work. In 18 games this season at the professional level with the Bandits, Durston had 15 goals and 47 points. He then played Major Series Lacrosse with the Six Nations Chiefs during the NLL offseason, and was in in Chatham-Kent this summer to run youth camps with Leave Your Mark Lacrosse. He said that this is his first experience with the Iroquois. “And they have been nothing but first class to me. It’s all new but so far its been a dream come true.” All 72 games of the WILC will be available to stream for free on Ten Feet Sports and Entertainment TV.
SEATTLE — TEDxYouth Seattle proudly announced that their sixth speaker is Rosalie Fish, an 18-year-old member of the Cowlitz Tribe and a competitive runner from the Muckleshoot Reservation in Auburn, Washington. Fish was first recognized for the red handprint that she donned over her mouth and the letters “MMIW” painted in red on her right leg in competition. She was later known for her quote “when I run about it, people will notice.” She graduated from the Muckleshoot Tribal School this year and represented in the Class 1B Washington State Track Meet, where she earned three gold medals, a silver, and a sportsmanship award, all the while using her platform to raise visibility and awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW). In each of her races, she ran for a different woman. In the 400-metre, she was a champion for Misty Anne Upham, a champion for Alice Looney in the 1600 metre, a champion for Jacqueline Salyers in the 800 metre, and a champion for Renee Davis and Davis’ unborn child in the 3,200 metre. Each were indigenous women from Washington who met a violent end and

each were honoured on a poster Fish brought to the state meet. She told the community that she is excited to share her work on MMIW with the TEDxYouth, Seattle community because, according to the Urban Indian Health Institute, Seattle leads the nation in MMIW cases. “Running for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women is not a political statement, but rather a means of survival.,” wrote Fish in a statement to the Two Row Times. “One of the most severe factors in this epidemic is the invisibility and neglect that allows this to continue — I use my athletic platform to raise awareness as a way to help pull my own weight in ending an epidemic that constantly keeps me wondering whether my family and community will no longer be exponentially vulnerable to violence.” Her Talk is set to take place on October 29, and she explained that she is set on using the opportunity to continue her

advocacy work. “My upcoming TedTalk is another platform I have utilized in order to raise awareness as well as inform others about the various factors and historical trauma that contribute to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Epidemic,” she wrote. “I’m hoping to expose listeners to my experience as a queer Native American woman and emphasize the importance of youth using their voices through their platforms. I’d like the audience to feel empowered through my story. Fish’s passions include running, youth empowerment, indigenous visibility, upholding and practicing native traditions, as well as uplifting and advocating for native communities and native women. Recruited for her running ability and proven leadership, Rosalie will attend Iowa Central Community College in the fall where she will continue her athletic career and her activism for MMIW.

and gave the upper hand to Kalunga. Kalunga ended the third round with a series of swift hooks and an upper cut that solidified a knock out. Hess’s loss was internalized most by his coach. “I should have gotten him a fight in between,” said Coach Jackie Armour, noting that Hess’s last fight against Mikhail Miler was in January. “I think it’s a bit my fault for not being able to motivate him and get him ready going in that first round. I should have been on him a bit more,” he said. Going into the fight, Hess was ranked fourth in the super-welter weight division, but after this loss there are decisions yet to be made for his next move. “We still have to sit with Karl and decide where his career is headed and where we’re gonna go,” he said. As for now, Hess’s stats sit at three wins: 1 by split decision and two by TKO, and two losses: one by split decision and one by KO.
DENVER, CO – The Chesapeake Bayhawks defeated the Denver Outlaws in the teams’ third meeting of the season on Saturday evening at the Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. With 73 points, Lyle Thompson is just 5 points shy of earning Rob Pannell's MLL single-season record while playing for the Bayhawks. Thomspon’s goal point average while playing against Denver tallies 5.67 PPG, bringing him to break two Bayhawks franchise records en route to their 11-10 win against the Outlaws.
In the second quarter, Thompson responded to Denver's attempt with a well-placed a shot over the head of Denver goalie Dillon Ward which resulted in a goal. This goal placed Thompson in a tie for the Bayhawks' franchise single-season goal record and broke the franchise single-season point record. This point was Thompson's 69th and put him past the previous holder, Mark Millon. Coming out of the break, the Outlaws got the best of the Bayhawks. Denver was able to score fivestraight goals in the third quarter to give themselves their first lead of the night at 9-8. The Bayhawks did not score for the entirety of the quarter.
Later, and with three minutes left in the game, Thompson collected a pass from Colin Heacock and turned to send a shot into the Denver net. This goal was Thompson’s 46th of the season and surpassed Mark Millon’s Bayhawks’ franchise single-season goal record (45). Thompson found Steele Stanwick, who then scored a low goal, which completed his hat trick. This goal gave the Bayhawks the lead with just over a minute left to play and became the game-winning goal for the playoff bound Bayhawks. The Bayhawks will meet Denver in regular season finale on September 20.
Staats was the first overall pick in the 2018 NLL Entry Draft. He finished his rookie season with 32 goals and 61 points in 14 games played. He led all rookies in goals and points and ranked second in assists despite missing the final four games with an ACL injury. Staats was named the 2018-19 NLL Rookie of the Year and was named to the NLL All-Rookie Team. The lefty led the team in points eleven weeks in a row to open his rookie year. In 14 games played, Staats notched five hat tricks and recorded seven games with five or more points. He was named NLL
Rookie of the Week four times and was the only rookie to earn NLL Player of the Week honors after netting five goals and four assists in his NLL debut. Coming back from the ACL injury, Staats will return to the floor with the Seals for their second season in December at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego.

Ethan Bear turning heads while looking for Oilers spot By TRT Staff Twenty-two year old Ethan Bear believes he’s never been more prepared to make the jump to the NHL. Bear was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in the Oshapowace Nation near Whitewood, Saskatchewan. But in his debut, he faced criticism from hockey fans for being a "lazy" player, but that motivated him to work harder. He drew inspiration from his brother and other Indigenous hockey players, including Carey Price, Jordin Tootoo, Brandon Montour, Arron Asham and Micheal Ferland. Bear played 18 games for the Edmonton Oilers late in the 2017-18 season. He suffered a shoulder injury early last season but still finished with 31 points in 52 games for the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. Along the way, the Condors also enjoyed a 17-game winning streak. Drafted in the fifth round
in 2015, Bear was once one of the top blue-line prospects for the Oilers. It’s now a much more crowded pool, with other young defence-men like Caleb Jones, Evan Bouchard, Dmitri Samorukov, Joel Persson, and William Lagesson all hoping to crack the Oilers roster soon. Plus, the Oilers drafted Philip Broberg in the first round in June. Bear scored his first NHL goal back in 2018, and although the Oilers lost, for Bear it was a moment he’ll never forget. He finished off a cross ice pass from Connor McDavid on the power play to give the Oilers a 4-3 lead with 7:43 remaining in the third period. For this years Oilers training camp, the organization had to have been thrilled to see Bear show up to camp in the physical condition he did. After coming to last year’s training camp in less than ideal playing shape and battling injury for much of the first half of his season with
the Bakersfield Condors, it looked as if the Regina native may have blown his opportunity to make another impression at the NHL level. Despite struggling in his own end of the rink during his brief stint with the Oilers in 2017-18, Bear proved to be quite capable in two areas this roster desperately lacks. His ability to move the puck up ice and consistently unleash a heavy and accurate shot from the point was hard not to notice. In other words, Ethan Bear could not have picked a better time to hit the ground running and prove that he belongs in the NHL. He may not be the name fans or those within the organization were expecting to push for playing time but the player clearly recognized the opportunity at hand and appears poised to make a legitimate run at grabbing a spot and not letting go.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Delegation is the best way to complete a complicated project, Aries. Work with others to achieve a balance so you’re not doing it all.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Those who are always looking to the future may not fully embrace the present, Taurus. Focus fully on those things in your life that are meaningful right now. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you’ll find the right pace to begin a relationship or maintain the one you have. Things are looking good for romance this week, and you may want to step up the seduction.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, when you turn on the charm, you are a force. You exude a natural magnetism that people are simply drawn to. Remember to use your powers wisely.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, look for a balance of activities that satisfy you both physically and spiritually over the course of the week. Getting in touch with nature is one way to achieve this.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 There is only so long you can put on a brave face, Virgo. Instead of hiding your emotions, let others see what you are truly feeling. Do not keep all of those emotions bottled up. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Add a personal touch to all you do and your efforts will be received more warmly, Libra. Add a personalized note to a gift when visiting a friend or family member.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, touch base with your support system. You can use some extra muscle behind your ideas, especially as you move into uncharted terrain within the next few days.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 This is the week to reassess your finances, Sagittarius. Figure out how to curb some extraneous expenses, like recurring charges or overage fees. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Your professional performance may be under scrutiny for several days, Capricorn. Put your best foot forward. A promotion may be in the works if you play it right.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t get too caught up on your idea of perfect, Aquarius. If you spend too much time on the small details, you’ll overlook the magic of the bigger picture.
