Short Hills deer hunt gaining ground Polytechnic and IBM forge program

By TRT Staff Hunting has been a way of feeding families for the Haudenosaunee for centuries.

To many, it is a form of connecting with the practices of ancestors and a means of eating according to a traditional diet.

However, a small group began protesting on Tuesday, October 22 against the seventh annual deer hunt that takes place at the Short Hills Provincial Park.

In the past it has been cited that anti-hunt protesters have established a vehicle stall that is supervised by the Niagara Regional Police Services (NRPS) and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

During the “stall”, anti-hunt protesters surround Haudenosaunee hunters’ vehicles, aim their flashlights into the faces of drivers and their passengers, record license plates, count off the occupants, and call out various derogatory statements while families are in their vehicles.

Currently, there rests a petition online to “stop the

barricade at Short Hills” which has garnered 1716 signatures our of 2500.

The hunt is expected to continue Nov. 14 and 28, Dec. 5 and conclude on Jan. 16. Each harvest day is set to begin one half-hour before sunrise and end one half-hour after sunset.

The park will be closed the morning after each harvest for maintenance until noon.

This particular hunt is a right guaranteed under treaties that date back to the 1700s.

In past years, deer harvests have been held in The Pinery and Rondeau Provincial Parks. The hunters also use archery equipment and follow mandatory safety protocols.

But although supporters of Haudenosaunee Right to Hunt say there's a growing acceptance of the annual deer hunt, protesters who gathered at the park's entrance Tuesday were insistent that they are more concerned than ever.

As the seventh annual Haudenosaunee harvest of white-tailed deer began, Elizabeth Chitty from Supporters of Haudenosaunee

Right to Hunt said there has been a shift in public sentiment around Indigenous rights and culture, including an increased understanding of the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Chitty said the organization has co-ordinated educational workshops to inform people about the hunt in past years. It will also be hosting a one-day Indigenous Human Rights Conference Nov. 16 at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.

The conference will feature Indigenous women scholars who will address a number of Indigenous Rights issues.

As a result of the community initiatives, people who may have originally opposed the hunt at least have greater understanding of the treaty rights and Indigenous culture and the traditions that the harvest represents.

St. Catharines Mayor Walter Sendzik, the Strong Water Women, and the Niagara Women’s Drum Group, will help to open the conference Saturday, November 16 at the PAC in the city's downtown.

By TRT Staff with notes from The Canadian Press SIX NATIONS — The first school to offer a degree program in Haudenosaunee languages in southwestern Ontario has partnered with IBM Canada to offer high school students a tuition-free path to a college diploma in a technology field.

At Sis Nation’s Polytechnic (SNP) Brantford Campus on Friday, SNP announced the new alliance between Six Nations Polytechnic STEAM Academy, IBM Canada, and Mohawk College. The announcement marks a first for Ontario in education.

Six Nations Polytechnic's president, Rebecca Jamieson, said the program will help students participate in industry-related internships and prepare them for a career in the tech sector. ``It'll develop a sense of confidence in terms of connecting with a private sector, which is not always happening at the high school level,'' she said Friday. ``Already, our students have made significant connections with senior staff.’'

The program, called P-TECH, starts at the Grade 9 level and is completed in six years when the students obtain a college diploma. This school year, 125 students have enrolled in the program in Brantford, Ont. Six Nations Polytechnic has both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students and features a strong component of learning about First Nations languages and cultures. ``For the Indigenous students, the fact that it's a culturally based learning environment where their language is reinforced and their cultural practices are reinforced, that makes a big difference for them,'' said Jamieson.

Ayman Antoun, president of IBM Canada, said the company is already running the P-TECH program in over 200 schools across 18 countries, and about a third of the students enrolled have completed it in just four years.

Antoun said the program also aims to help communities that face economic or circumstantial disadvantages.

DO YOU NEED A CAR?

``This gives them a really good way to make sure that they have a good path to a successful career.’'

He said they chose to partner with Six Nations Polytechnic because the school was innovative in terms of creating programs to support students in their local community.

Jamieson said the school had been running their own 4-6 year program that helped Indigenous students bridge the gap between high school and college. ``Our students were having difficulty in graduating high school, there's quite an education attainment gap in high school,'' she said.

IBM Canada, which also runs their P-TECH program in three other Canadian schools, said that many of their graduates end up working with the company.

That's partially because every student gets to have a job interview with IBM after they graduate. ``This is the first time we've had a private-sector partner so engaged,'' said Jamieson. ``It's been very beneficial.''

“It is important to celebrate our diverse community so we can learn from each other and support one another,” said Jennifer Dunlop, co-chair of the equity committee. “We are excited to celebrate Brant multiculturalism and hope members of the Brantford community can join us.”

Attendees can enjoy food, family-friendly

activities, entertainment, dancing, door prizes and more, while also learning about local programs and services available in the community.

Dismantling something that is invisible

By TRT Staff When systemic racism is spoken of, it is often misunderstood.

This is because the systems that support politics, health and justice are each filled with people that are supposed to look out for the common man.

We can be left to wonder how people of such high societal standing could ever marginalize individuals when they are equipped to help.

But that thinking is taking away from what systemic racism is.

Allow it to be explained as this: structural racism is a system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various ways that often reinforce and perpetuate racial group inequity.

It identifies dimensions of history and culture that have allowed privileges associated with the “higher society” and disadvantages associated with “minority society” to endure and adapt over time.

Structural racism is not something that a few people or institutions choose to practice. Instead it has been a persistent feature of the social, economic and political systems in which we all exist.

In many ways “systemic racism” and “structural racism” are synonymous.

If there is a difference between the terms, it can be said to exist in the fact that a structural racism analysis pays more attention to the historical, cultural and social psychological aspects of

our currently racialized society.

Systemic racism is considered to begin within the first institution an individual enters; school.

This does not exclude preschool.

As an example, black students are much more likely to be suspended from pre-school than white students. They make up 18% of all preschoolers, but represent almost 50% of all preschool suspensions. Compare that to white kids, who make up 43% of all preschool enrolment, yet represent 26% of those receiving suspensions.

Jumping ahead into post-secondary education consider that recently, a group of University of Arizona students demanded that the school's president apologize for remarks he made using Native American stereotypes.

Members of Native SOAR, a university mentoring program for Native American students, posted on social media Sunday that they want a face-to-face apology from President Robert Robbins.

According to the group, Robbins unexpectedly visited a class last month.

He reportedly said he wasn't trying to ``pull an Elizabeth Warren'' but he thought he had to get a DNA test done because he might be part Cherokee.

He planned to get re-tested because of his ``very high cheekbones.’'

The group also wants Robbins to open a position on his senior leadership team for someone who can represent tribal

communities.

While earlier last month, Queen's University began investigating a racist and homophobic note posted inside a dorm where several indigenous students reside.

The note, written in the form of a poem, was addressed to "Chown Four," referencing the fourth-floor dorms at the university's Chown Hall residence. It was attached to the door of a common room, Queen's said, and found Thursday morning.

The note, written in the form of a poem, was addressed to "Chown Four," referencing the fourth-floor dorms at the university's Chown Hall residence.

"We took your flags and you wailed and cried," it reads. "We'll scalp you all.… We'll make you bleed,” and was attached to the door of a common room, Queen's said, and found Thursday morning on October 10.

After the note was removed, the student association performed a smudging ceremony at the residence. While Queen’s asked that any students with information about the incident to contact campus security or police.

Unfortunately, without being properly understood to be taken to pieces, the systems that support and facilitate systemic and direct racism continue to grow and evolve.

This makes the culture of racism dynamic, not static, which is something that many indigenous cultures cannot say they share.

Learning the Land: Walking the talk of Indigenous Land acknowledgements Sourced by The Canadian Press Author: Matthew Robert Anderson, Affiliate Professor, Theological Studies, Loyola College for Diversity & Sustainability; Honorary Research Fellow, University of Nottingham UK, Concordia University This article was originally published on The Conversation, an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts. Disclosure information is available on the original site.

University, religious, sports and other gatherings often begin with an Indigenous Land acknowledgement. For instance, this article was written in Montreal, or Tiohtia:ke, on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien'keha:ka (Mohawk), a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations.

Land acknowledgements recognize what for some Canadians is an uncomfortable truth. These are formal statements that recognize ``the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories.’'

On Land where territorial treaties were negotiated, the acknowledgement may use the term ``traditional Lands,'' and go on to specify the treaty and its number (Treaty 4, for example, includes much of southern Saskatchewan.)

Land is so important that Gregory Younging _ schol-

ar, editor and author of the copyeditor's book Indigenous Style _ insisted Land be capitalized.

But when governmental and business meetings are far less likely to include acknowledgements of Indigenous Land titles, or when artistic and educational events move from initial statements to silence about their political and economic ramifications, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that such recognition is simply lip service.

What do groups mean when they say they recognize Indigenous presence, resilience and Land? And how can settler groups begin to walk the talk?

In 21 Things You Should Know About the Indian Act, author and president of Indigenous Corporate Training Bob Joseph urges Canadians to physically get out and get to know local First Nations. Ways to do this include attending Indigenous cultural or sports events or using Indigenous businesses.

As a settler academic who grew up on Treaty 4 territory, I have benefited from years of Indigenous guidance in ally-building in journey/pilgrimage studies, biblical studies and Land access. Following these learnings, I believe it is time for those of us who are not Indigenous to let our bodies learn about acknowledgement, sometimes by literally walking the talk.

Properly prepared ``walking acknowledgements'' are one way

for those of us who are non-Indigenous to demonstrate that we mean what we say about unceded and traditional territories.

Location, location, location.

It is by walking across Land that Indigenous activists have drawn attention and acknowledgement to waterways threatened by overuse or pollution, residential school cemeteries that have been neglected or abandoned, issues of justice for northern communities and, with displays of vamps (moccasin tops), Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Margaret Kovach, Linda Tuhiwai Smith and other Indigenous academics consistently use the physical language of ``grounding'' and ``place'' to explain how one learns within Indigenous knowledge systems. They argue that Indigenous ways of knowing require the bodily recognition of one's relationship to Creation and to others.

One of the first and most influential of Indigenous scholars addressing western research methods and Indigenous cultures, Maori professor of Indigenous education Tuhiwai Smith points out that it is always specific Land that gives meaning to Indigenous stories, ceremonies and history. Kovach adds that ``self-location anchors knowledge within experiences.''

Land acknowledgements continued ships to Land This month, I led 11 students, faculty and friends on a 26-kilometre walk from Kahnawa:ke to the Department of Theological Studies at Concordia University, in Montreal, as a Territorial Acknowledgement for our Theology in the City conference. Walking helped us put our bodies where our mouths are. Those who have undertaken walking Land acknowledgements say it has both educated them and moved them away from political inaction and neutrality.

Showing up uninvited or unannounced is not acknowledgement. It risks being another colonial act.

But with Indigenous guidance, we can physically get to know the Lands and people we are acknowledging.

These experiences help settler North Americans experience the locality and relationships that underlie most Indigenous understandings of Land. Getting to know the Land helps us learn its history _ including its histories of colonization and of Indigenous resurgence.

Beginning in 2014, with the guidance and permission of the Mohawk Cultural Centre of Kahnawa:ke, and the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawa:ke Longhouse,

professor of theology Sara Terreault and I have led groups of students from Concordia University on four annual pilgrimages.

We walked about 32 kilometres between Old Montreal, where the first French colonists built their churches and homes, and Kahnawa:ke Mohawk Territory. Some of our students had visited Kahnawa:ke before; some grew up in adjacent communities. Consistently, they reported in their project evaluations that walking the St. Lawrence Seaway, built in part on bulldozed Mohawk homes, and physically experiencing the contested border areas, and the First Nation, brought them new understandings of colonialism, economic injustice and histories of both oppression and resurgence.

Atsenhaien:ton Kenneth Deer, the secretary of the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawa:ke and a working group member of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, assisted us on our walk and said: ``By walking from Concordia to Kahnawa:ke or from Kahnawa:ke to Montreal you can see how close we are but a world apart.’'

U.S. anthropologist Chip Colwell notes that

despite the risk of token gestures, repeating Land acknowledgements offers us a chance ``to confront the past while laying the groundwork for building a shared future.’'

Walking through such statements helps us remember that they are both real and political, and based on Indigenous assertions of title to real places.

Acknowledgements spur us to recognize not only Land, but also commitments made in the treaties, in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, or in Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.

Walking all, or some part of, our Land acknowledgements gets settlers out of their silos.

It can help groups experience first-hand the Land, the relationships and the Indigenous Peoples of which the Land acknowledgements speak.

But walking Land acknowledgements are only first steps toward education and consciousness-raising. They are part of the process of non-Indigenous people becoming allies through Indigenous pedagogies. Only when Land acknowledgements are fully lived out _ that is, when they deepen

7

into meaningful economic, political and cultural change, will we really be walking in the true direction of reconciliation.

Treaties Recognition Week and Treaty 3

By TRT Staff

Kenora, ON — Ogichidaa Francis Kavanaugh, Grand Chief of Treaty 3 says it’s important for everyone to learn about the treaty relationship between First Nations and the Crown during the fourth annual Treaty Recognition Week

that began Monday.

Treaties Recognition Week is the first week of November and was introduced in 2016 to honour the importance of treaties and to help Ontarians learn more about treaty rights and treaty relationships.

“Treaty 3 is a sacred

relationship and a trilateral agreement between our Creator, Grand Council Treaty 3 and the Crown,” said Grand Chief Kavanaugh. “We continue to honour the treaty and consented to share our land and the natural resources but we never ceded our land to the federal gov-

ernment entirely, nor did we ever give up our sovereignty as an independent nation. They Treaties are as relevant today as they were when they were signed, so I urge everyone to learn more about our own Treaty 3.”

Treaty 3 was established over the course of three different meetings, beginning in 1871. The treaty was signed by First Nations and a representative of the Crown at the

third meeting, in 1873.

Treaty 3 was an agreement entered into on October 3, 1873, by Chief Mikiseesis (Little Eagle) on behalf of the Ojibwe First Nations and Queen Victoria. The treaty involved a vast tract of Ojibwe territory, including large parts of what is now northwestern Ontario and a small part of eastern Manitoba, to the Government of Canada.

Today in Canada there

Eligibility In Order to be Eligible, you must: · Be 16 Years or Older · Have 15 High School Credits · Be a Canadian Citizen

are approximately 70 treaties between 371 First Nations and the Crown.

The treaties represent the rights of more than 500,000 Indigenous people. Since the creation of Canada’s Claims Policy in 1973 there have been 16 comprehensive land claims settled.

Investigation: Lead in some Canadian water worse than Flint

By TRT Staff with notes from The Associated Press, The Canadian Press

MONTREAL — Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have been unwittingly exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water, with contamination in several cities consistently higher than the levels in Flint, Michigan, according to an investigation.

The investigation tested drinking water in hundreds of homes and reviewed thousands more previously undisclosed results.

The findings were that for residents in some homes in Montreal, a cosmopolitan city an hour north of the U.S.-Canada border, and Regina, in the flat western prairies, are among those drinking and cooking with tap water with lead levels that exceed Canada's federal guidelines.

According to Health Canada, “the maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for total

lead in drinking water is 0.005 mg/L (5 µg/L), based on a sample of water taken at the tap and using the appropriate protocol for the type of building being sampled.

Every effort should be made to maintain lead levels in drinking water as low as reasonably achievable (or ALARA).”

But the investigation found some schools and daycares had lead levels so high that researchers noted it could impact the children's health. Exacerbating the problem, many water providers aren't testing at all.

Health Canada also writes that, “inorganic lead compounds have been classified as probably carcinogenic to humans, based on findings in experimental animals.

However, the cancer effects are not the main health effects of concern in humans.

The toxicity of lead has been extensively documented in humans, based on blood lead levels

(BLLs). Effects that have been studied include increased blood pressure and renal dysfunction in adults, as well as adverse cognitive and behavioural effects in children. The strongest association observed to date is between increased BLLs in children and reductions in intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, which is the key health endpoint of concern. The threshold below which lead is no longer associated with adverse neurodevelopmental effects has not been identified. As the MAC exceeds the drinking water concentration associated with neurodevelopmental effects in children, every effort should be made to maintain lead levels in drinking water as low as reasonably achievable (or ALARA).”

This makes children the most vulnerable once exposed.

Yet it wasn't the Canadian government that exposed the scope of this public health concern.

A yearlong investigation by more than 120 journalists from nine universities and 10 media organizations, including The Associated Press and the Institute for Investigative Journalism at Concordia University in Montreal, collected test results that properly measure exposure to lead in 11 cities across Canada.

Out of 12,000 tests since 2014, one-third _ 33% _ exceeded the national safety guideline of 5 parts per billion; 18% exceeded the U.S. limit of 15 ppb.

In a country that boasts its clean, natural turquoise lakes, sparkling springs and rushing rivers, there are no national mandates to test drinking water for lead. And even if agencies do take a sample, residents are rarely informed of contamination. ``I'm surprised,'' said Bruce Lanphear, a leading Canadian water safety researcher. ``These are quite high given the kind of attention that has been given to Flint, Michigan,

as having such extreme problems.’'

Many Canadians who had allowed journalists to sample their water were troubled when they came back with potentially dangerous lead levels. ``It's a little bit disturbing to see that there's that much,'' said Andrew Keddie, a retired professor who assumed his water was clean after replacing pipes years ago at his home in Edmonton. What he couldn't do is replace public service lines delivering water to his house.

After learning his water lead levels tested at 28 ppb, Keddie said he was ``concerned enough that we won't be drinking and using this water.’'

Leona Peterson learned of the contamination in her water after journalists found excessively high lead levels in 21 of 25 homes tested in her small, northwest port town of Prince Rupert. Peterson, who lives in subsidized housing for Indigenous people, had water

that registered at 15.6 ppb. ``I was drinking from the tap, directly from the tap, without any knowledge that there was lead in the water,'' said Peterson. Her son was as well.

Canadian officials where levels were high said they were aware that lead pipes can contaminate drinking water and that they were working to replace aging infrastructure.

Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante vowed to test 100,000 homes for lead and speed up replacement of lead-lined pipes immediately after journalists sent her an analysis of the city's internal data revealing high lead levels across the city.

The media consortium filed more than 700 Freedom of Information requests and took hundreds of samples in people's homes to assemble 79,000 water test results. But the findings are neither comprehensive nor an indication of overall drinking

Investigation: Lead in some Canadian water worse than Flint water quality in Canada.

That doesn't exist. ``Because there is no federal oversight, everybody does what they want,'' said engineering professor Michele Prevost, who quit working on a government study of school drinking water in frustration over the

lack of lead testing. ``Most provinces ignore this very serious problem.''

The government's approach to limiting lead in drinking water in Canada is starkly different from the U.S., where under federal law every person is supposed to receive an annual report from their

water provider detailing lead test results.

There's no similar, routine testing or notice in Canada, with the exception of Ontario, which post results online. ``If that's not public, that's a problem,'' said Tom Neltner at the Environmental Defence Fund,

a U.S.-based environmental group. ``Where you have transparency you have advocacy, and where you have advocacy you have action.’'

In the U.S. however, even public water quality reports weren't enough to prevent the Flint, Michigan, drinking water crisis,

brought on by a 2014 decision to temporarily pull water from a river as a cost saver. But Flint's water problems went well beyond lead: excessive microbes led to a Legionnaires' disease outbreak that caused at least 12 deaths and sickened more than 90 people.

Notice of Community Information Session Detailed Design Study Argyle Street Bridge Replacement Caledonia, Haldimand County - G.W.P. 3805-01-00 THE STUDY WSP has been retained by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to undertake the Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) for the replacement of the Argyle Street Bridge over the Grand River in Caledonia, Haldimand County.

THE STUDY PROCESS This study is following the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for Group “B” projects, under which approval for the replacement bridge was obtained in the fall of 2009 during Preliminary Design.

Upon completion of the study, a Design and Construction Report (DCR) will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period. The DCR will provide a description of the recommended design, construction staging, and potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures.

A further notice announcing the DCR public review period will be published at that time in local newspapers, sent to persons on the project mailing list, and posted on the project website: www.argylebridge.ca.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSION A Community Information Session (CIS) has been arranged to provide the community an opportunity to review the study process and background, the recommended bridge design, including heritage enhancement features, traffic management and construction staging plans. The CIS will be an informal drop-in session and representatives from the Project Team will be in attendance to answer questions and receive comments. You are encouraged to attend the CIS and provide us with your views and comments on the project so they can be considered as the study progresses.

The Flint crisis sparked congressional hearings, lawsuits and scrutiny of lead testing across the country. Now officials in Newark, New Jersey, are scrambling to replace about 18,000 lead lines and other communities are also responding.

Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards, whose study of the Flint water system helped reveal the dangerous lead levels, reviewed the Canadian media consortium's findings. ``This is a significant health concern, people should be warned,'' said Edwards.

In Canada, where provinces — not the federal government — set water safety rules, the main source of lead in drinking water is antiquated pipes.

At one government hearing, an expert estimated some 500,000 lead service lines are still delivering water to people in the country. Many cities are starting to replace them.

Several short-term solutions include having suppliers add anti-corrosives or altering water chemistry so it's less likely to leach lead from the insides of pipes.

Even low levels of lead exposure can affect a child's IQ and their ability to pay attention. Children who are younger than 7 and pregnant women are most at risk from lead exposure, which can damage brains and kidneys.

Yet the consortium's investigation found Canada's daycares and schools are not tested regularly.

And when they are tested, those results are also not public.

A 2017 study of tap water at 150 daycares in Alberta showed 18 had lead levels in drinking water at or above 5 ppb, which the researchers considered risky for the infants and toddlers. The highest was 35.5 ppb.

Dear Six Nations, There will be a Chiefs Debate set for November 7th for the elected band council chiefs candidates. I had initially planned to be in attendance but I now have a Meet & Greet/discussion forum with my Brantford constituents at the Woodland Cultural Centre. My agenda is based on unity & how I want to create more of it within our community. I don’t see any unity or reward in a debate. I’ve stated before that I’m not a politician nor do I adhere to most politicians agendas or platforms. I’ll continue to run my campaign in my own manner & how I feel it needs to be run. With this being the last week of election I’ve learned more than I would have about our community & the people in it. Not all has been surprising but now that I see it clearly, I can’t un-see it. There is more division, jealousy, greed & bullying in our community than necessary. None of it is needed. My vision is to try to diminish those exact things within the community & make our territory prosperous for all the people in it. With that being said I respectfully decline the offer to attend the debate. My supporters know who I am & what I bring to the table & I don’t believe this debate will serve any good or hinder to my campaign. Good minds discuss not debate.

The Assembly of First Nations honours all First Nations veterans.

Throughout history, First Nations men and women have served with great distinction in the armed forces protecting the values we all hold dear. They fought for freedom in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and Vietnam War, and First Nations citizens continue to serve in military and peacekeeping missions around the world.

MANDATES • Moving towards a healthy & prosperous future for the generations to come with inclusive collaboration and input from all voices investing in language and culture. Ensuring our language learners have a school and the community supports the building of such, this also includes high school options within our community to promote better outcomes from our children • Support Youth Empowerment in ending violence against each other and creating safe options for building healthy relationships, this includes viable resources for youth in need of safe spaces and healthy options when feeling suicidal or needing additional support to talk and express themselves

The Assembly of First Nations continues to work with First Nations veterans to ensure they are appropriately and justly respected, supported and acknowledged for their contributions to Canada and the freedom of all Canadians.

• Review communication practices to support transparency inclusive of policy review and recommendations to support clear communication in a timely manner this includes supporting an understanding of HDI and transparency with the funding received like SNEC in unity and harmony with the whole community • Support the community through change management by laying the foundational steps necessary to promote sustainable changes understanding through evaluation mechanisms which protocols need updates and the impacts on our environment in relation to the current community concerns, this includes the tobacco industry and the landfill environmental issues

On Remembrance Day, we pay tribute to our veterans and honour the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

• Review current Cannabis regulations & work toward a framework that benefits the community & promotes the industry in a safe & healthy manner

The Assembly of First Nations is the national body representing First Nations in Canada.

Wes Studi makes Oscars history for Native American actors ican Indian Registry helped him get his start. The group promoted Native American actors and made opportunities for them to meet agents. It led to Studi securing representation and booking Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning ``Dances With Wolves,'' which then put him on Michael Mann's radar for what would be his most memorable role to date: Magua in ``The Last of the Mohicans.’' ``I thank Michael Mann for having an open mind in terms of expanding the character of Magua to the point that he was sort of an antihero, but he had his qualities. He had his reasons for doing what he was doing,'' Studi said. ``He and the writer were open to that were creating more of a three-dimensional character.’'

Mann would then go on to cast Studi again in ``Heat'' as an Los Angeles police detective _ a some-

what rare opportunity for Studi to play a character who wasn't primarily defined by his ethnicity. ``It can be frustrating,'' Studi said. ``I can understand the idea of wanting to get away from leathers and feathers. But it's a double-edged sword in its own way. Westerns and or period pieces in which Native Americans are portrayed have been the starting point and the bread and butter of Native American actors. Fortunately I've been able to cross over in a few roles over the years. Sometimes it's a matter of two steps forward and one step back.’'

With a slew of projects just wrapped or in the works, Studi doesn't appear ready to slow down or retire anytime soon. ``I retire every time we wrap a film,'' he said. ``So I've had a taste of retirement and I'm not sure I enjoy it all that much.''

The best short winner at the Torotno ImagineNative Film Festival was "Moloka'i Bound" by Alika Maikau, with 2018's recipient being the winner of the Cynthia Licker-sSage Award. it is the recipient of the Cynthia Lickers-Sage Award that can now apply for an Oscar nomination. PHOTO SUBMITTED.

"This recognition is the outcome of many people who share a passion for Indigenous-made short films, and who continuously strive to provide opportunities for Indigenous filmmakers," said imagineNative’s Executive Director Jason Ryle, in a statement on Thursday.

"The coming decade will be one of profound growth for the Indigenous screen sector internationally, and this announcement is another significant step towards broadening the appreciation of Indigenous films and expanding the opportunities for the talented individuals who create them."

The most recognized trophy in the world, the Oscar statuette has stood on the mantels of the greatest filmmakers in history since 1929.

LOS ANGELES - When Cherokee actor Wes Studi was thinking about moving to Los Angeles to take a shot at being an actor in the 1980s, he asked a friend if it was a good idea.

The friend said ``why not?

There aren't many Native American actors.''

Instead of a deterrent, Studi took that as a plus. ``I thought, 'OK, so not a whole lot of competition then,''' Studi, 71, said laughing. ``I thought why not take a leap and I did. And things turned out well.’'

Although there was no way he could have known it at the time, the Tulsa, Oklahoma native came at the perfect time too. Hollywood had started to move beyond its deplorable past of casting white actors for indigenous roles and look-

ing for more authenticity in casting. Some of his first films included ``Dances With Wolves,'' ''The Last of the Mohicans`` and ''Geronimo: An American Legend`` that would lead to a fruitful 30-year career that's still very active.

This Sunday, Studi will make history as the first ever Native American

Oscar recipient at the 11th annual Governors Awards, alongside fellow honorary Oscar honorees David Lynch and Lina Wertmuller.

(In 1982, Cree musician Buffy Sainte-Marie, who was born in Canada, became the first indigenous Oscar winner for co-writing the music to best song winner ``Up Where We

Belong.’') ``I feel very honoured about it,'' he said on a recent phone call from Santa Fe, New Mexico, which he has called home for the past 26 years. He just feels more comfortable living outside of Los Angeles, he said.

Studi came to acting somewhat late in life. He went to agriculture school, served in the Oklahoma National Guard and even went to Vietnam before he stated dabbling in theatre and local educational television. ``I had a life before getting into this business. A non-acting life,'' Studi said. ``And it turns out that life has served me well. I can connect with characters I play simply by referencing real life. It's been very helpful over the years to have experienced life outside of entertainment.’'

Live action shorts that win a prize at Toronto's imagineNative Film and Media Arts Festival have a chance at earning Oscar consideration.

Organizers say the Toronto-based festival has been delegated as a qualifying festival for the “best live action” short category.

“We're now an Oscar-qualifying Festival! imagineNATIVE is the first and only indigenous film festival in the world that is The Academy Award qualifying! Live action shorts that win a prize at our Festival can now seek Oscar consideration,” wrote imagineNATIVE to Twitter.

This means that any film that wins the Cynthia

Lickers-Sage Award for Best Short Work can apply for an Oscar nomination in the best live action short category at the Oscars, with compliance to other rules by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Last year, Amanda Strong's mesmerizing stop motion short Biidaaban (The Dawn Comes) screened at TIFF as part of Canada's Top Ten Shorts Programme 2. The film also screened as part of the Terra-Firming Shorts program at the 2018 TIFF Festival and won the Cynthia Lickers-Sage award for Best Short Work at the Festival.

The best short winner at this year's ImagineNative festival, which wrapped Sunday, was the Hawaiian drama "Moloka'i Bound" by Alika Maikau.

The film is eight min-

utes and covers the path of a wayward young man, recently released from prison, struggles to reconnect with his son and Hawaiian heritage.

Alika Maikau (Kanaka Maoli) is a working filmmaker based out of Honolulu, Hawai'i with a degree in Creative Media from the University of Hawai'i Mānoa. Maikau focuses

on telling stories about the Hawai'i diaspora as authentically as possible.

In 2017, he was invited to the 'Ohina Filmmakers Lab and mentorship under Joe Robert Cole (Black Panther) to oversee his script Mauka To Makai through completion.

To be eligible for Oscar consideration, short films must either have a

theatrical release or win a qualifying award at a specified film festival.

Other Canadian festivals with Oscar-qualifying status include the Calgary International Film Festival, the Edmonton International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema.

Stacey’s scoring prowess helped lead Buffalo to consecutive victories over Connecticut in the Beauts’ home-opening weekend.

Between the two wins, Stacey compiled three goals and an assist. She has yet to play an NWHL game where she hasn't recorded at least a point.

At 23 years of age, Stacey is among the many new talents to join the NWHL this season.

BUFFALO — The Buffalo Bandits today announced the team has signed forward Jerome Thompson of the Onondaga Nation to a one-year deal, pending league approval.

Thompson rejoins the Bandits after totalling 12 points in nine regular-season games during the 2018-19 season with the Georgia Swarm.

In parts of four seasons with the Swarm (2016 to 2019), Thompson recorded 61 points (17+44) and recovered 90 loose balls in 31 games. He appeared in two playoff games in two seasons (2017 and 2018) with the team and was a member of Georgia’s 2017 championship squad.

TWO ROW TIMES

November 6th, 2019

Memorials and condolences continue after Winnipeg boy, 3, dies after stabbing CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG _ A memorial has grown outside the Winnipeg home where a three-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed as he slept last week, while political leaders add their voices to those offering condolences to the child's grieving family.

Hunter Haze Straight-

Smith suffered severe brain damage during the incident on Wednesday, according to his family, and died shortly after he was taken off life support on Saturday afternoon.

A vigil was planned outside the home on Pritchard Ave. on Sunday night, adding to several that have been held in the city over the course of a few days.

Mourners placed stuffed animals, flow-

ers and other offerings around the trunk of a large tree in front of the home.

A sign attached to the tree reads, ``Rest In Peace Hunter, from all of the grandmothers.''

Daniel Jensen, 33, who was in an on-again-offagain relationship with Hunter's mother but who was not the boy's father, was charged with attempted murder on Thursday.

Police have noted a charge may be upgraded when a victim of a crime dies, and they say Jensen remains in custody. ``Further information

concerning the status of this investigation will be released when it becomes available,'' a news release from the Winnipeg Police Service stated Sunday morning.

Premier Brian Pallister tweeted after Hunter's death that the province's thoughts and prayers go out to the boy's family and friends. ``A child full of hope and dreams, tragically taken too soon,'' Pallister wrote.

Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman echoed the sentiment. ``Our hearts are heavy this morning with the

tragic loss of Hunter Straight-Smith, & our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time,'' he tweeted on Sunday.

Police have said that at the time of the alleged attack, Jensen was under a court order not to contact the mother.

Investigators have said they believe there was an argument between the woman and Jensen somewhere on Winnipeg's Main Street. After the dispute, they allege Jensen walked to the home where Hunter was asleep and stabbed him several times.

At an earlier vigil out-

side Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre on Friday, the mother and other relatives hugged each other and wept during Indigenous prayers and drum songs.

A friend of the boy's family, Darryl Contois, said Hunter's mother and father were at their son's hospital bedside along with relatives and friends after the machines that were keeping him alive were removed. ``They broke down, like any mother would do or any father would do. There's no words to take away that pain from them,'' Contois said.
