MISSISSAUGAS — An updated logo reflecting a previous name change was revealed by the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation on Friday. The community, previ-
ously known as Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, dropped the word “New” from their official name in early 2019. At that time the community retained it’s previous logo and branding which was unveiled in 1993 and was designed by Chief R. Stacey LaForme, Kyle Sault and Shelda Martin.
MCFN says it’s logo now has also dropped the word “New” from it’s appearance. In a statement the council stated the logo imagery depicts an eagle, the Three Fires of the Council of Odawa, Potawatomi and Ojibwe nations, and a peace pipe depicted within a circle of life.

Vote Harvey Powless 4 Chief #GoHarvOrGoHome
Dear Six Nations, My name is Harvey R T Powless aka Rakarahawi aka Tha Harv. I am currently a nominee for the Six Nations Elected Band Council to run for “Chief”. I don’t consider myself a politician in any way, shape or form but I am political in a manner. Where I lack in College & University degrees I make up for in actual action that I have taken or been a part of. Should I succeed in my campaign I wouldn’t consider myself the Chief but more of an administrator of government funds allocated to us from the Canadian government. I believe a real Chief is one who sits in the longhouse not in a band office thru an elected system. If I should get into the lead role at SNEC I am not one to sit by idly. I stand with my fellow community members close and far. I’d be out in my community trying to solve our problems & if some issues arise you can find me on the frontline. I want to unite our community so we can flourish & move forward together. I believe in equality & I think everyone in the community is entitled to prosper not just a select few. Throughout the years our community has made huge financial gains yet some still live in sub standard conditions. I’m a firm believer in giving back to our people & providing if I have more than I personally need. I know I have minimal experience in a corporate office or political tables & that my fellow nominees have but if Six Nations really wants change then why bring back the same people or people who fall in line with past councils? I’m unlike any nominee this election has ever seen. I’m real. Not saying those others aren’t but most of you know me from real life & you know who & how I am. I’m not cut from the same cloth as other political people or parties. I’m eager to see where this goes & I’m even more excited for the future of our community should the right people get in. I want to be accountable, transparent & most of all honest with the people of my community. This is going to be historic & im glad to be a part of it. I know I’ve woken up some people & I can help inspire our next great leaders in the community. Thanks everyone for all the kind words of encouragement & support. I’ll do my best to win & make the proper moves so we can unite our community & move forward as a Nation. Sincerely, Tha Harv

What are the risks to online voting at Six Nations NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — Six Nations General Election is coming up and will include online voting. But is there a loophole in the process that leaves room for illegitimate votes to be submitted? Two Row Times was approached by a concerned community member who has asked to remain anonymous, sharing that there are efforts in the community to gather non-voting band members status card information in order to submit multiple online votes to skew election results. The online votes are being organized by a company called OneFeather located in Victoria, BC. The organization conducts election services for First Nations across Canada and even touts status card renewal services on their website. OneFeather’s online voting system has been utilized on Six Nations be-
fore — in the referendum vote for the Citizenship Code. According to instructions sent out by OneFeather, in order to vote online band members need only supply their date of birth, band number and an email address in order to register to vote. Once that part of the process is complete — a secure link is sent to the members provided email account and a subsequent PIN number is given to permit the member to be allowed to vote in their local election or referendum. The problem is — the company does not appear to have any securities in place to guarantee that the person on the other end of the keyboard is in fact, the status card holder themselves. TRT reached out to Lawrence Lewis, CEO and Founder of OneFeather to ask what processes they have in place to confirm the identity of online voters and prevent illegitimate accounts from
being created by persons who have multiple band members information and are creating fake email accounts. “Our verification and voter authentication requirements require the voter to complete a number of steps of prove they are an eligible voter – just having a status card number would not be enough. For example, we utilize secure links, PIN (unique personal identification number), additional voter information, and other secure data architecture protocols to both protect the anonymity of the voter and ensure they are an eligible voter,” said Lewis. TRT asked Lewis if there were security measures in place to prevent multiple votes from coming through the same computer IP address. Lewis said, “The IP address is really irrelevant given our verification and authentication protocols. However, we do monitor for any ‘bad actor’ activi-
ty…which does look at IP addresses for phishing or other attacks (so we do have the ability to shut down an IP address if it keeps trying to penetrate our security, firewall and other measures).” TRT again asked what security measures OneFeather has in place to guarantee that the person behind the keyboard is in fact the band member registering to vote. Lewis had not submitted a response to that question by press time. So is the online voting process indeed secure? Is there risk that persons who want to skew election results are collecting non-voting band member information and creating fake email accounts in order to submit multiple illegitimate votes? And if so, would that render online votes spoiled? TRT reached out to the Chief Electoral Officer Steve Williams and has not received a response at press time.

AFN National Chief congratulates Trudeau win OTTAWA — Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde congratulated re-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on winning a minority government in the 2019 federal election. "I congratulate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party on their victory," said Bellegarde in a statement. "We will work with all parties to address the climate crisis, safety and security for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, to lift up First Nations children and families, and to strengthen the country as a whole. First Nation priorities are Canadian priorities. I look forward to working with every Member of Parliament." In HonouringPromises: 2019 Federal Election Priorities for First Nations and Canada the AFN set out an agenda beginning with a call for action on the global priority of
climate change and preserving the natural world. It shows how to build a stronger Canada through healthy and educated First Nations citizens living in safe and secure communities, and fully participating in the economy in ways that strengthen the national economy and sustain the environment. "There is agreement among a majority of Parliamentarians to move forward on some key priorities, including the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a First Ministers Meeting on First Nations Priorities, and fully implementing legislation to strengthen Indigenous languages and protect First Nations children," said Bellegarde. "I lift up all First Nations citizens who voted in this election and congratulate all the Indigenous candidates. We will keep pushing forward for action, for reconciliation and for results."

mand Tract and Grand River. In a statement the
council says the new logo better reflects Haudenosaunee values and principles and realigns the administration that the council provides to the
people of Six Nations. SNGR says the council “provides expertise in countless programs, services and products to the Haudenosaunee people
of Six Nations across 13 branches. The purpose of this new logo is to illustrate the connection between the Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations and the Grand River.” The statement explains the signifigance of the imagery in the logo. “The flowing wave entering and exiting across the logo symbolizes the Haldimand Tract and the white center line between this wave represents the Grand River, emphasizing the sacred significance of water to the people.” “The significance of the Tree of Peace, which is centralized within the new logo, embraces the Haudenosaunee values and principles. The roots of the Tree of Peace also represent the four directions. This guides and strengthens the admin-
istration, programs and services with the central goal aimed toward the stewardship of the community and the next Seven Generations. Furthermore the Hiawatha belt can be seen flowing between the Grand River wordings, symbolizing the Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations. All tied together with a healing purple tone that the people have strongly related to for many years.” “This new logo realigns the administration this organization provides to the Haudenosaunee people. From the principles of the Tree of Peace, to the Hiawatha belt symbolizing the people and a name that restores the inclusion of the Six Nations people this organization serves.”

They both should lose was the mindset some of us had in regards to the Liberals and Conservatives. Without question, the sentiment makes sense. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said that the level of violence directed at Indigenous women and girls in Canada should not be labelled a genocide in June. “Every single life lost is a tragedy and has a huge impact on families and loved ones, and there are concrete things the government, all levels of government, can do to help protect vulnerable people in our society, specifically Indigenous women and girls," Scheer said. ”That being said, the ramifications of the term genocide are very profound. That word and term carries a lot of meaning. I think the tragedy involved with missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls is its own thing, its own tragedy, and doesn't fall into that category of genocide.” Meanwhile Trudeau had his own scandal as he apologized for the
blackface video right after apologizing for the brownface photo. This follows the SNC Lavallin Affair that prompted Jody Wilson-Raybould, the third woman and first indigenous woman to hold the position of Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of Canada, to step down. “It is obvious that this is something that is deeply regrettable. I am wary of being definitive about this because the recent pictures that came out I had not remembered,” he said. “The fact is I didn’t understand how hurtful this is to people who live with discrimination every single day. I have always acknowledged that I come from a place of privilege — but I now need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot.” As it would later turn out, both parties had taken losses. Never before have both major parties taken such a small share of the vote. Never before, in recent memory, have they each steadily declined together

throughout a campaign. Their platforms landed with the same dull thuds, their leaders failed to impress in roughly equal measure on top of it.

Which was to the benefit of the other parties on the left: the Greens, the resur-

In 2015, the Liberals had rounded up just enough of the progressive vote to win a majority, on the strength of an ambitious, left-leaning platform and an idealistic young leader.

Meanwhile the New Democratic Party is poised to play large role in a minority parliament after Jagmeet Singh spearheaded a turnaround on the federal campaign trail that may have saved his leadership and pulled his party from the brink of irrelevance. Having started the election campaign with low expectations and a precariously low position in the polls, New Democrats hailed Monday’s result at a “victory” party in a hotel ballroom in Singh’s riding east of Vancouver. Singh will now lead a caucus in the House of Commons that was knocked down to fourth place and is barely half the size it was before the election, but will still find himself in an amplified position of power.

roared back to life with an enlarged contingent of its own, Singh’s New Democrats won enough seats to separately hold the balance of power in a Liberal minority. Taking to the stage before scores of supporters Monday night, Singh promised to play a “constructive role” in the next parliament as he fights to implement universal pharmacare, pursue true reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, build more affordable housing and increase taxes on the wealthy elite than the common folk. Jody Wilson-Raybould has won re-election as an Independent candidate in her riding of Vancouver Granville in the 2019 federal election. The final count had Wilson-Raybould earning more ballots than her closest competitor, Liberal nominee Taleeb Noormohamed. It must be noted that the last time a candidate won a Canadian election without backing from a party was in 2008, when Andre Arthur was re-elected in the Quebec riding of Portneuf-Jacques-Cartier.

Nature stories: Children experience the seasons with Indigenous knowledge keepers By Louise Zimanyi On the winding trails the ground is covered with red and yellow maple tree leaves. These are ininaatigobagaa, the children and adults in our forest nature program have learned, in the Ojibwe language. In the Humber Valley in the northwest end of Toronto, children examine and learn about the red oak acorns (mitigomin) that are not buried by the eastern grey squirrels (misagidamoo) and will grow into trees and feed future generations of squirrels. They are learning about the language of nature of that area. Humber's nature-based program is located on 250 acres of forest, meadows, wetlands and ponds, a place called Adoobiigok, known as ``Place of the
Black Alders'' in the Michi Saagiig language. Uniquely situated along the Humber River watershed, it historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Wendat peoples between the Ontario lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. But mitigomin aren't only disappearing from the ground. Writer Robert McFarlane and illustrator Jackie Morris created the book The Lost Words to draw attention to English-language words pertaining to nature and the ecosystems we know (heron, moss, willows, dandelion) that were removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary. Oxford University Press claimed the words were not being used by chil-
dren. It introduced words like blog, broadband, attachment and voicemail. The book is a lyrical protest against the loss of sentient nature words, digitalized play and childhoods, and a call to wonder for both children and adults. With Indigenous partners Canada has a history of making Indigenous words and languages disappear. I work both as faculty in the early childhood education program at the Humber Arboretum and as a researcher exploring how early childhood programs can develop relationships with Indigenous communities and knowledges. With gratitude for the generosity of Indigenous Elders and colleagues who share with our children's forest nature program, we

are dedicated to ensuring nature _ and an awareness of Indigenous people and knowledges _ are part of children's experiences. We are learning to understand the relationship between Indigenous knowledge and ecosystems. We learn new words and how language is a key transmitter of Indigenous knowledge and culture. This is particularly timely in the International Year of Indigenous Languages, dedicated to preserving languages, cultures and knowledge systems. Revitalizing words and knowledge A recent study of 1,000 children aged five to 16, living in the United Kingdom, found that more than 80 per cent of children could not identify a bumblebee, dandelions were unknown to 42 per cent and 23 per cent could not recognize a robin. A 2018 survey conducted for the Nature Conservancy of Canada with Ipsos Public Affairs found that nine out of 10 Canadians are happier in nature and benefit from being in nature, yet 66 per cent increasingly spend more time indoors than in their youth. They say this is because of busy schedules and barriers such as rain, snow and insects. Euro-western early learning and education tends to see nature as separate from culture. In response to growing awareness of the environmental crisis in recent decades, Euro-western early learning and education is being challenged to expand a long-standing approach to nature as separate from culture. In Canadian early childhood education and care settings, rigid schedules and environments have been emphasized over Earth-centred worldviews characterized by reciprocal relationships with nature. Reciprocal relationships Given global ecological challenges, nature-based
programs can engage children and adults in ethical and reciprocal relationships in and with nature. My research and our program explores how Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators can create ethical partnerships and space where Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being shape what we do. Children share the forest and meadows with chickadees, woodpeckers and wrens, which are in steep decline. Through multi-sensory explorations, observations and wondering, in all seasons and weather, we not only learn the names of plants, animals and creatures, we learn their stories. Sacred Tobacco (Asayma) harvested from the Indigenous medicine garden is offered to the towering sugar maple trees that drip sap into metal pails. We ask for permission before tasting the clear maple water _ aninaatig'waboo _ and give thanks for Elder James Dumont's teaching about the Maple Tree story and the sweet syrup to come. Climate resilience Children and adults in our nature program return to known places. When we walk through the forest, we notice what is, what has changed and wonder what may become. We are attuning ourselves to the rhythms around us. These daily experiences are part of what we call ``slow play'': together we live in reciprocal relationships with other animals, plants, water and rocks. We wonder how the sap will run during the day when nights have not been cold enough. In learning to leave acorns and pine cones in their natural habitats, we imagine future oak and pine trees. We witness the cycle of threatened monarch butterflies that journey to Mexico from the arboretum.
In the familiar, we also experience the unknown, perhaps key to thinking creatively, adapting to change and empowering resilience. Children map their own experiences of nature: how bees make honey, the smell of winter, deer prints in the snow, the adventures of blue-green insects. We learn that dandelion flowers are an early source of nectar for pollinating wild bees and not to pick them. At home, children successfully protest parental attempts to mow the lawn, instructing that dandelions are the first juice for the bees. Benefits outweigh risks In surveys and focus groups, parents note that the benefits of nature play and learning in the forest nature program far outweigh perceived risks related to weather and insects. They see increasing confidence and resilience through problem-solving and embracing new challenges. The benefits they see include nurturing compassion and care for other living creatures and developing a respect for nature through awareness of Indigenous cultures, communities and knowledges. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) acknowledges the importance of Indigenous and local knowledge to address climate change. Earth-centered programs that integrate education and environment goals, and that seek to build ethical partnerships with Indigenous communities, have an important role today. They could help inform climate change goals such as learning about mitigating human impact on the land and becoming sensitized to caring for and protecting biodiversity. ___ This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Greta Thunberg meets with First Nations chief in Fort McMurray FORT MCMURRAY, AB —The chief of a northern Alberta First Nation says he gave climate activist Greta Thunberg a message during a quietly arranged meeting in Fort McMurray on Friday night. Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam says he told the 16-year-old Swede that Europeans are major investors in the area's oilsands, and she needs to get people to lobby those investors for greener technology to extract Alberta energy. Adam says the meeting in a Fort McMurray office was arranged earlier this week, and was kept secret in order to prevent pro-oilsands campaigners from disrupting it. Thunberg was in Edmonton earlier Friday for a rally at the Alberta legislature that drew thousands of people, but also attracted a small counter-rally of trucks that drove past, blasting their horns. Thunberg has turned her protest against climate change into a global movement that has seen her speak plainly to world leaders and forums, chastising them to do some-
thing before it's too late to reverse catastrophic weather changes. Adam says it was a privilege to meet with Thunberg, and says she mostly just listened to him talk about the history of First Nations in the area and their concerns about oilsands development. ``You have to go back to Europe and you have to tell the European investors, why are you investing in the oilsands if you want to promote green energy?'' Adam said he told Thunberg. ``Tell them to invest in better technologies to enhance how to produce oil from the oilsands,'' he added. ``That's what you call sustainable development.'' United Conservative Premier Jason Kenney had said he hoped Thunberg would recognize efforts made by Alberta's oil and gas industry to reduce its emissions, but said he had no plans to meet with her. Thunberg stayed away from any direct criticism of Alberta's oilsands while in Edmonton on Friday. Adam said Thunberg has now left the Fort McMurray

area. ``I don't know why the world is so scared of her. She stands about four feet tall and she's probably, I'm guessing about 110 pounds, that's about it,'' Adam said, dismissing those who criticize Thunberg's views because she's young. ``We talk to our kids every day and sometimes our kids give us meaningful answers that we are looking for.''
BRANTFORD — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a final campaign stop in Brantford on Saturday. Trudeau was greeted by Brantford-Brant Liberal candidate Danielle Tackacs campaign and a crowd of nearly 1000 people at Mercasa Little Italy Eatery on Henry Street. A small group of about 12 protesters were also on site, objecting to the prime minister’s reelection.

Edibles, vapes and oils: What you need to know about cannabis 2.0 CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — Weed-infused brownies, CBD-based hand creams and cannabis vaping products are now legal in Canada, but eager consumers will have to wait until at least mid-December _ and the province with the most licensed pot shops is signalling that early 2020 is more realistic. Regulations governing next-generation cannabis products such as edibles,
beverages, vapes and topical forms of cannabis came into effect as of Oct. 17 _ exactly one year after Canada legalized recreational pot. Due to the mandatory 60-day notice period companies must provide to Health Canada before selling these products, the earliest these so-called Cannabis 2.0 goods can legally go on sale in Canada is mid-December. Companies have already begun unveiling details of their products ahead of time _ ranging from spring water to mints that contain
CBD and THC, respectively, two active ingredients found in cannabis. These cannabis-derivative products will be subject to strict regulations, including a cap on the level of active ingredients and packaging. They also cannot contain nicotine, caffeine or alcohol, and companies will not be able to call these beverages beer or wine. For edible cannabis, whether food or beverage, the amount of THC will be capped at 10 milligrams per container, according to
Health Canada regulations. For example, in a package of grape-flavoured gummies, the total amount of THC in all the pieces must amount to no more than 10 milligrams. Weed extracts are limited to 1,000 milligrams of THC per container. A bottle could contain 100 THC capsules of an extract that each contain 10 milligrams of THC, for instance. Topicals, such as lotions, must have no more than 1,000 milligrams of THC in a container. These goods must not be
reasonably considered to be appealing to kids, which would take into account factors such as shape, flavour and scent, and must be contained in plain, childproof packaging. Health Canada has said to expect a ``limited selection'' in legal stores in mid-December, at the earliest. Albertans will likely see these products available for sale in stores and online by early next year, according to the provincial body responsible for regulating cannabis. ``While nothing is definite and time will tell, that January 2020 timeline reflects when consumers can expect to see products on shelves,'' said Heather Holmen, communications manager for Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, in an emailed statement. ``As such, AGLC, as the distributor, expects to receive product sooner but retailers (online store included) will need to order and receive these new products before they are available to consumers, which will require additional time.'' The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation, whose outlets sell both alcohol and recreational cannabis products, expects a ``slow introduction'' of products starting in late December based on discussions with potential suppliers, said spokeswoman Beverley Ware. ``Modifications have been completed at most of our stores so we are ready to offer this next phase of cannabis products when they come on to the market,'' she said in an emailed statement. PEI Cannabis is preparing to train its staff on the new cannabis formats, and anticipates having products ready for store shelves in mid-December as well, said spokesman Colin MacDonald. The B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch is now working with licensed cannabis producers who had signalled their interest and ability to be suppliers. B.C.'s solicitor general is expected to announce the province's plans for the products on Friday afternoon. ``It will take time before suppliers will be able to stock and ship a full suite of products to retailers.
Availability of product will be dependent on a number of factors, such as supply, and the demand suppliers are meeting in other markets across Canada,'' said Viviana Zanocco, a BCLDB spokeswoman, in an email. The Quebec cannabis corporation, known as the SQDC, also expects the second wave of legalization to be gradual starting in mid-December with products that ``should be mainly beverages,'' according to spokesman Fabrice Giguere. The SQDC's president Jean-Francois Bergeron said the initial offerings would be limited and include drinks such as teas, various types of carbonated water and non-alcoholic beers. Government entities in Yukon, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories and New Brunswick also say they are gearing up for a mid-December rollout at the earliest. ``Some suppliers will be ready in December pending Health Canada approval, but many will be adding to their product offering over the next year,'' said Cannabis NB spokeswoman Marie-Andree Bolduc in an email. ``Our goal is to try to offer some options at launch across all the new product categories (chocolates, candies, concentrates, beverages etc.).'' The Ontario Cannabis Store believes it will be late 2019 or early 2020 when new products will be available. ``OCS is working with federally licensed producers to better understand timelines and availability for each individual product,'' said spokesman Daffyd Roderick in an emailed statement. Vaping, however, has come under scrutiny after more than 1,400 related lung-illnesses in the U.S. have been reported _ many of which involved THC-containing products _ and recently diagnosed cases in Quebec and B.C. Health Canada said in an emailed statement that it is not delaying the legalization of pot vapes but is actively monitoring the situation on both sides of the border, and ``will take additional action, if warranted and as appropriate, to protect the health and safety of Canadians.''

UN report highlights 'abhorrent' housing conditions for Indigenous people STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A United Nations report is highlighting the role ``abhorrent'' housing conditions play in the poverty and exploitation that Indigenous people face in Canada and around the world. The report, presented to the UN General Assembly on Friday, examines the lack of access to secure housing both in cities and on reserves and its effect on the rights of Indigenous people in countries including Canada, Australia and Tanzania.
``The Special Rapporteur finds that housing conditions for Indigenous peoples around the world are overwhelmingly abhorrent and too often violate the right to adequate housing,'' the report reads. ``(Indigenous people) are more likely to suffer inadequate housing and negative health outcomes as a result, they have disproportionately high rates of homelessness and they are extremely vulnerable to forced evictions, land-grabbing and the effects of climate change.'' Leilani Farha, the UN special rapporteur on adequate housing, noted that housing shortages are
Mint's new coin honours founder of Manitoba and Metis leader Louis Riel
WINNIPEG — The Royal Canadian Mint has issued a new coin featuring a portrait of Louis Riel, an important Metis leader and the founder of Manitoba. The coin was launched on the 175th anniversary of Riel's birth. It is also the first coin to be engraved with Michif, the official language of the Metis Nation. Riel was central to the Red River and North-West resistances to assert Indigenous rights and stop the Canadian encroachment on Metis land. He was executed in 1885. The coin features a portrait of Riel wearing a fur-trimmed buckskin jacket covered with floral beadwork. Riel is encircled by a traditional Coventry sash in the shape of an infinity sign, which represents the Metis Nation. ``Louis Riel is both an iconic figure and an aspirational role model not only for the Metis Nation, but for all Canadians. He protected Metis self-determination, stood strong for language, religious, and Indigenous rights, and resisted injustice,'' said Manitoba Metis Federa-
tion President David Chartrand in a news release. The Mint worked with the Metis federation to commemorate Riel's birthday, Chartrand said. The coin also features an engraving of Riel's signature. It was designed by Metis artist David Garneau and only 15,000 will be produced. It costs $59.95 and will be available in November. Metis National Council President Clement Chartier said the coin is a fitting tribute to the important leader. He added in the release that Riel's vision and sacrifice ``not only shaped the struggle of the Metis people to secure their place within the Canadian Federation but also gave birth to western Canada itself.'' President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint Marie Lemay said the coins tell stories of people who have shaped the course of Canadian history. ``We are proud that our newest collector coin recognizes that Louis Riel's leadership and tireless advocacy for the Metis Nation made an undeniable contribution to Manitoba and Canada.''
severe enough in Canada's North that some people in Indigenous communities are forced to sleep in shifts. ``There's 15 people living in a home that's the size of a trailer, so of course they have to sleep in shifts when there's only so much room,'' she said. The report also highlights poor water systems on many Canadian reserves. ``In a country with more fresh water than anywhere else in the world, 75 per cent of the reserves in Canada have contaminated water, with communities such as Attawapiskat declaring
a state of emergency,'' it reads. The report also says Indigenous people in Canada and around the world who live in urban areas deal with racism from landlords, presenting another hurdle to accessing housing. The report linked a lack of housing as a factor that exacerbates Canada's ongoing problem of missing and murdered Indigenous women. ``Lacking secure, adequate housing, Indigenous women often become the targets of further violence because of their gender and their Indigenous identity,'' it says.
Farha said one of the main goals of the report was to link the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (DRIP) to the UN's legislation on the right to adequate housing. ``The right to housing under international human rights law is something that is legally binding on governments in Canada,'' said Farha. ``That's really important because the UN's DRIP isn't a legal instrument in the way that the treaty for the right to housing is.'' She said she hopes making that connection will put more pressure on
the Canadian government to act on issues that predominantly affect Aboriginal people. Farha said Indigenous people _ and particularly Indigenous women _ should be involved in the development of strategies to tackle housing shortages. ``I think governments around the world need to completely alter their relationship with Indigenous peoples and really recognize their self-determination and admit that there are ongoing wrongs that needs to be addressed,'' she said.

Taika Waititi executive producing Ontario shot Indigenous sci-fi thriller TORONTO — Oscar-nominated director Taika Waititi has been announced as an executive producer on an upcoming Indigenous sci-fi thriller from Saskatchewan-born Cree/Metis filmmaker Danis Goulet. A news release says the New Zealand-born Waititi, whose Second World War satire ``Jojo Rabbit'' hits theatres in Toronto on Friday, is attached to ``Night Raiders.'' Goulet is writer-director on the project, which began shooting in and around Toronto on Oct. 7. The story is set in postwar North America in the near-future, where a military occupation controls disenfranchised cities and children are a property of the state. At the centre of the female-driven dystopian drama is a Cree woman who joins an underground

Hamilton police say they've identified a suspect in the city's 10th homicide and are asking he turn himself in. They say they've issued an arrest warrant for 26-year-old Ibrahim Issak-Hussen, who's wanted on a charge of first-degree murder. Police say Obsa Junedi-Mohamed, 29, was shot
and killed outside a pool hall around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday after an argument with two men. They say they arrested and spoke to the driver of a white car seen fleeing the scene, but released the man unconditionally after a lengthy interview. Police say they are looking to speak to another passenger of the same car. They say Issak-Hussen is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.

``Night Raiders'' also explores the impact of colonization. In particular, it looks at ``what happens to families when they're fractured by the state,'' Goulet said in a statement issued Tuesday. ``Throughout cinema history, 99 per cent of Indigenous stories on screen have been told without us. I'm so thrilled to be seeing change happen in the industry to support more Indigenous perspectives and it's an honour and privilege to make a film that I've been writing for seven years with such incredible industry support and with such a stellar cast.''

Ethan Bear and Darnell Nurse have given the Edmonton Oilers what they have not had since the 2016-17 playoff run, which is a functional first-pairing defensive duo. Although season is young, since the duo teamed up after Adam Larsson went out with injury, Bear and Nurse have been playing solid hockey in heavy minutes against tough competition. That phrase “solid
hockey in heavy minutes against tough competition” is a cliche for what’s expected of a top-pairing defensive parternship. Bear looked iffy even in a third-pairing role during a short test run in 201718, so much so that he spent all of 2018-19 in the AHL. But in their first run of games together, Bear and Nurse are thriving. The team has been sorely lacking that kind of effective top-end partnership, that duo the coach can put out there against almost anybody and know they’re likely to survive it. Bear also currently leads all NHL rookies for
time on ice per game, at 20:43. If he got top power play time, he might even be able to make a run at the NHL’s rookie of the year award. T.J. Oshie on the other hand has a team-leading six goals through nine games. Oshie always has had the confidence to score, he told the Washington Post, but he wasn’t allowing himself to get consistent opportunities because he was playing a “little too perimeter.” In the offseason, Oshie realized the bulk of his scoring was more off the rush and cycling, but he
wasn’t happy with his play around the net. This season, Oshie said, he’s more actively seeking scoring opportunities and “not necessarily looking to support” as much as he did before. Typically on a line with center Lars Eller and Jakub Vrana last

season, Oshie knows their ability to win one-on-one matchups. So at the worst, he said, being at the front of the net occupies a defender and, in turn, benefits his entire line. During the team’s 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Friday, Oshie
scored two power-play goals. The first came after he stood firm at the net front waiting for a quick tip opportunity. He collected a pass from Backstrom, who waited for a lane to open up. While Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist got over pretty quickly, Oshie was able to get three swift whacks at the puck until it slipped past Lundqvist, which was off the skate of defenseman Marc Staal and in. He paid for it by then being laid out by Jacob Trouba in the process. So far so good for both this season.

Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been copied and pasted around the Internet to inspire adrenaline rushes, fear and malevolent wonder. These Internet entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories that include gruesome tales of otherworldly experiences, tales of familial horror and paranormal coincidence and scandal. Many of the best are fictional and many are published online to a single website. In the light of the Hallowe’en season, I have chosen to share with you one of mine. Unlike many of the popular stories, this one is a written from a personal account of a collective happening. This story is one that I have told friends and family, but have not shared further. I have removed the names of those involved and I have isolated the locations to protect them and myself, but know that these accounts are precisely as I

remember them. Gather around the apocryphal fire those who dare. The summer that I turned 15 I finished my first year of high school. However, I didn’t yet possess the adult mindset that would take away my like of playing outside. I was full of energy and my sister was four years my junior, so coming from a stricter family, this meant that we did a lot of outdoorsy stuff. You know,
like falling out of trees, swimming in the creek and running around barefoot. Along with many household rules, the outdoors were the only place that we could really be free. Our property at this time was home to a line up of white pine, cedar, maple, white ash and a cornfield behind the back yard. But we were always told that we had to be careful when we played in the dark, in fact, my grand-

Her eyes widened and she cocked her head to the side. “I just chased you, all the way back the field and when you ran into the bush I gave up,” she said, almost angrily. The words rested in the air for a moment like a bad joke. “Well you weren’t chasing me,” I said. She turned to her friend with wide eyes. “I was by the pine trees behind the house,” said her friend. The realization hit and fear washed over our faces. We collectively ran inside and slept with the lights on. All I think now is that something decided to join us that evening.

TORONTO — The imagineNATIVE Film Festival is now in its 20th year, and is still a trailblazing platform for indigenous storytellers. The grows every year and aims to spotlight the diverse stories and traditions found within indigenous culture.

Some films, made their premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month and are already gaining major buzz. Other special works
mother was prompt to tell me “you’re not supposed to play in the dark at all.” This is in part of the fact that we live in between not one, but two cemeteries. However, in the case of having a full moon in the summer meant that the moonlight lit up our property pretty well. This made us think that it didn’t count as being “dark.” My sister would invite her friends over on these nights and we would
play tag or hide and seek because we could see the silhouettes of each other — we did this with the naivety of children. We got away with maybe two of these nights without incident. But on an evening a little chillier than the others, three of us decided to play well into the night. My sister was it so me and her friend split up. As she counted at the tree we dubbed the “tee” tree, I ran into my grandparents garage next door. Perhaps this was cheating, but I didn’t care. While waiting in the dark of the garage and trying to quiet my breathing, the moon lit up my sister as she ran past the garage. She was running in earnest. I smirked and ran back to touch tee so I was safe and soon her friend joined me. Five minutes passed and we waited for my sister. We had an unspoken tension between each other because we knew that she was gone for a long time. Finally she came out of the trees, trotting to us out of breath and with an odd look on her face. “How did you get here

Adrian Sutherland’s Debut Single: Politician Man A protest song forCanada ATTAWAPISKAT — Releaed on October 17, Politician Man, the debut single from Adrian Sutherland, is a protest song for Canada. The seeds were planted in July, when his Cree community of Attawapiskat declared a state of emergency over contaminated water. At the same moment, insensitive comments from a politician in Ottawa sparked massive public outcry, a spontaneous response from Sutherland himself, and national media coverage. Jump ahead to August, when co-writing sessions with musical brothers sparked a song that was important and timely. One day in September, that song came to life in a recording studio. By the first week of October, a filmmaker was adding his keen artistic eye to the message behind the music. The single produced in Toronto was the result, with an accompanying video by Justin Stephenson (director of animation and editor, The Secret Path). “Sometimes reconciliation sounds like an empty word, and it’s frustrating. You keep trying to get
ahead, but there are ongoing challenges, one obstacle after another. I have to wonder what I’m doing still living in Attawapiskat, and if anything is ever going to make a difference,” says Sutherland. “The relationship between Canada and First Nations has been difficult for a long time, and in many ways it still is. Politician Man is about this relationship, and the need for all of us – politicians, chiefs, Indigenous people, all Canadians – to start listening to each other, and take steps together. Let’s move past the blaming and do something. We all need to do our part. That’s what reconciliation is, and the message behind Politician Man.” Justin Stephenson, who saw the vision right away, came up with a video treatment that makes Politician Man a song about a country done in a style that pays homage to country songs, while honouring Sutherland’s Cree culture. “I love the song and believe in the message. I really wanted to do this. Adrian is a real talent and powerful storyteller. He’s the kind of person that
makes you want to do something about this difficult history, and makes me, personally, want to be a better ally. In this song, I feel he really speaks to non-Indigenous people in a way that makes you want to step up. My respect for him grows with each pass of the video I make,” says Stephenson, who had only two weeks from concept to completion. While Sutherland’s family did a translation of the title into Cree syllabics, explains Stephenson: “I was struck by Adrian’s description of the Cree term for ‘Politician Man’ – which he said translates into ‘okimaw-khan’ or ‘voted big boss’. I found this interesting as it takes into account the system of governance imposed by the Indian Act.” Politician Man is also released at the start of Secret Path Week, a national movement commemorating the legacies of Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack, and calling on all Canadians to “Do Something.” Adrian Sutherland will be taking part in several events in the Toronto area.
