Two Row Times welcomes Neil Becker By TRT STAFF SIX NATIONS — Two Row Times is pleased to welcome Neil Becker to the family as a new sports reporter. Neil has worked with Six Nations sports teams and athletes for several years and is well known by the local sports community. “We’re pretty excited to have Neil on board,” said Two Row Times Publisher Jonathan Garlow. “He has done great work for the community with his sports reporting and we are very happy to welcome him to our team.” Two Row Times put him to work immediately to look after local sports news for a very sports active Six Nations and area community. Becker is a Print Journalism graduate from Humber College and carries a general B.A. from the University of Windsor. He is glad to have had the opportunity to continue to work with the sports community which he has developed a relationship with over the past eight years with another local paper, but now for the Two Row Times.

I really enjoy interacting with the fans and players here.” Becker seems as happy to join the TRT team as we are to have him. “I was ready for a change I guess and I am excited about this new venture,” says Becker. “The people at the Two Row are just so friendly and the atmosphere in the office is great.” Watch for “Sports with Neil Becker” in this weeks Two Row Times.

Police warn of telephone scam STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — SN Police are warning the public of an active fraud campaign to watch out for. According to the alert, police have been receiving numerous reports from community members of suspicious phone calls. The most current scam involves criminals who are able to “spoof” government and police phone numbers. The criminals will call and ask for money or for confirmation of your personal information as they lead you to believe you are in trouble with a legitimate government agency. The criminals will then say you will be getting a call from your local police. The next call will lead you to believe you are speaking with the police, but it is the criminals

posing. Many frauds and scams have a number of variations, but the end goal is the same: the suspects want to defraud you of your money. The suspects will sound genuine and may have very convincing information however any calls of this nature should be considered a fraud. Six Nations Police Services reminds the community; “Criminals are opportunists. Don't give them the opportunity to make you a victim of crime. They can be very persuasive, using all types of excuses, explanations and offers, to lead you away
from using your common sense, or instilling some NATIONS sort of fear inSIX you if you fail to respond. Six Nations Police would like to remind the public to never give out personal or financial information over the phone, at your door, or online unless you are certain of whom you are providing it to. Be suspicious of any situation where someone is looking for money or personal information. Should anyone get a call supposedly from Police, they should hang up and call Six Nations Police themselves. Officers can confirm, in person if necessary, whether Police are involved or not. Fraud is a serious criminal offence. If you are a victim of a fraud, you are urged to contact Police immediately to report the incident. Your information may help protect others from becoming a victim.”

Changing times at Six Nations JONATHAN GARLOW
jonathan@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Lots of change has been happening lately. It's a good thing, but sometimes doesn't feel good. Most of the council has stayed the same, but Six Nations Elected Council is evolving their corporate image with a new logo and name. The new council is being sworn in at press time but we will have coverage over the next few weeks on the Elected Council as the new Chief and Councillors are reintroduced to the community. Congratulations on your elections, to Chief Mark Hill and all Councillors. In other news, Two Row Times Editor Nahnda Garlow has been hospitalized with a severe case of viral encephalitis - inflammation of the brain - and will be taking time off work to recover. The doctor said she would need one or two months to be back to normal. I would like to apologize for any events or dates we've missed over the last few weeks, this health crisis has been a struggle but Nahnda will be okay. This means that the Two Row Times is now in the hands of Chezney Martin who will be serving you timely and accurate news week by week. Chezney is possibly
the youngest Indigenous Newspaper Editor in the world but after completing college for journalism she began her career here at the TRT four years ago. Congratulations Chezney! We would like to acknowledge and welcome a new member to our team, sports editor Neil Becker. Neil is an accomplished journalist with a passion for sports and will be covering local games everywhere. If you see him out at the arena give him a high five! We have a short article about Neil joining our team on page two. As the publisher of this newspaper sometimes I'm accused of this and that but people who know me understand that I respect and support Six Nations people regardless of their background or personal views. I shake hands with people I've lost fist fights to and I do my very best to embrace humility as much as possible. Just like everyone else on Six Nations my political views could be considered "anarchist" which means I believe we are all equal. Anarchy does not mean chaos - that's what we've been programmed to believe - it literally translates to "no ruler". So as an anarchist publisher I support Elected Council as my peers who are doing their best at creating a safer environment for our children to develop here on Six Nations. Although I am supportive of them in theory, I recognize that they
are not my rulers. Because I support the people who make up Elected Council does not mean I am against others. I support people of the Confederacy as my peers who are doing their best at carrying forth the values and traditions they've been given and I accept that they are working hard towards a better future as well. Although I support them, I also acknowledge they are not my rulers either. Many years ago when I was in high school we stood in the hallway each morning while the Canadian anthem played. The teachers at B.C.I. were very understanding and accomodating about it. I didn't think it was radical, or extreme at all. For me and the others who stood with me it was simply logical. As a second generation residential school survivor and as a Indian Day school survivor I refused to stand for a colony that tried to destroy my life and rob me of my being. My parents supported me through those high school years and actions such as that shaped who I am today. I fully believe that our greatest problem as Indigenous people is a lack of numbers. If 90% of us died to small pox, an equal amount must be born back into this world before we can retake the landmarks our ancestors built.

There’s a new trend in the East and it’s not a good one CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
As if there aren’t enough things to worry about as a native person — we now have to worry about people race-shifting. This is pretty cut and dry; the rise of the socalled “Eastern Metis” in the eastern provinces (Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia) and in New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) are a part of what is now being dubbed race-shifting. The actual Métis are a western-based Indigenous people whose culture grew out of kinship relations with the Plains Cree, Saulteaux, Assiniboine, and Dene. The so-called “Eastern Metis” are instead an example of what is referred to as race-shifting or self-indigenization, a process that involves white French-descendants inventing and claiming an “Indigenous” identity, often in opposition to actual Indigenous peoples. Basically, race-shifting is a social repugnance that has taken off with otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self-defined “Indigenous” identity. These individuals who have not been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-gen-
erational efforts to reconnect, are, put simply, French-descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an “Indigenous” identity today. Since the early 2000s, there has been a meteoric rise in the number of people self-identifying as Métis in Eastern Canada.
and Acadian settlers “becoming” Indigenous. To go along with these numbers, nearly 30 “Métis” organizations were founded in both provinces during roughly the same period. Newly established “Métis” communities, the Metis Nation is exempt of this, are stylizing themselves as the authentic inheritors of Indigenous nationhood, claiming that for many generations their ancestors were “hidden in
If these people were native they would understand that the Mi’kmaq are sovereign. Gloating in the limelight that so many native people have fought to be in, to be seen and heard after being invisible for decades, and acting as though being a part of that plight is simply repugnant when you’ve carried no weight and will not ever carry any weight. It screams entitlement. It
There is no room for “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” when it comes to being native.
New data shows the highest increases in self-reported “Métis” people between 2006 and 2016 were in Québec (149.2 per cent) and in Nova Scotia (124.3 per cent). In Canada during the same period, the increase was less than 60 per cent. Rather than a spike in birth rates, almost all of the increase is due to to white Franco-Québécois
plain sight.” Bras d’Or Lake Métis Nation (BDLMN), based in Cape Breton members also connect their legitimacy as Canadians by highlighting their standing as “taxpayers” and placing themselves in opposition to the Indigenous Mi’kmaq thirteen member assembly of Nova Scotia, who are questioned, apparently because they don’t pay taxes.
echoes fraud. There is no room for “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” when it comes to being native. Especially not when we have languages, practices, ceremonies, songs and teachings to revive. With this comes an even more immediate problem on top of everything else — given that the Aboriginal Peoples Survey public policy instrument,
if governments take race-shifting at face value, it could diminish the already inadequate public policy resources directed to Indigenous communities. Let’s take a look at the most public way that this has happened. Instagram posts surfaced last weekend showing a young white student celebrating her scholarship intended for Indigenous youth. The girl’s family says they have a legitimate claim to Indigenous ancestry based on genealogical records, but Indigenous leaders, myself, and you, should still be skeptical. Ainsley Whynacht, 18, was announced as the winner of the 2019 Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union (NSGEU) scholarship. The scholarship required applicants to submit an essay. NSGEU states in a Facebook post that Whynacht’s looked at “how the lack of access to public services has negatively affected the lives of Indigenous people.” “So I applied for an aboriginal scholarship a few months ago and wrote some random essay on treatment of indigenous kids in school and? I actually got the scholarship? Good thing they don’t have to look at me and notice I’m the whitest person ever,” wrote Whynacht to
her instagram. She later posted again holding self-tanner. “So turns out I won that scholarship nationally not provincially and like tens of thousands of people over Canada apply for it and I’m the third person in 30 years from Nova Scotia to win so I have to do a photo op next Friday? With one of those giant checks? So it’s time for ya girl to fake tan or else that’s gonna be embarrassing as*.” Apparently she is a part of the Woodland Metis who have been contested by various Indigenous scholars and groups, having no official Government recognition or recognition by the Métis National Council. The Nova Scotia-based Eastern Woodland Metis doesn’t even have an active website. The Grand Chief, Mary Lou Parker, passed away in summer 2019 and there appears to be no attempt to maintain the group. It has been determined that the Eastern Woodland Metis have no connection to the cultural heritage or history of the recognized Metis of Canada. And if such people really, truly, sincerely cared about being a native-person another native “ancestry,” why would they approach the government for status, and not “their” people. Disgust.

First certified diabetes wellness worker to be honoured STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
An indigenous diabetes wellness organization program, Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle (IDHC), has been granted professional certification status. Certifications provide front line health workers and management the opportunity to advance their knowledge in the field of Indigenous diabetes prevention and management and be recognized by a credible, established certifying organization. Certification as an indigenous diabetes community support worker can henceforth be granted by ICBOC through IDHC training programs — or via demonstrated equivalent experience working in diabetes prevention and promotion for Indigenous communities. This year, Robert Fenton, is the first Indigenous community diabetes
worker to be certified, in recognition for his decades of service and trust building to Indigenous community health. As a non-profit organization in operation for 23 years, the IDHC promotes three distinct programs of holistic wellness models of care representing body, mind and spirit to reduce the impacts of type 2 diabetes on Indigenous peoples in Ontario. Balancing traditional teachings and mainstream health best practices, IDHC acts on the knowledge that Indigenous people achieve best health outcomes through programs that are self-designed, self-developed and self-led. The IDHC mobilizes front line health workers to engage communities, partners, stakeholders and allies to achieve this critical mission. The organization has evolved engaging grassroots tactics for communication, capacity building and
stakeholder engagement. Culturally Appropriate, safe, creative, collaborative, smart and now Certified. IDHC entails a tremendously good news story of increasing health, empowerment and capacity building. Incorporated provincially in 2005 and federally in 2011, the Indigenous Certification Board of Canada (ICBOC) is the nationally designated body specifically created to provide professional certifications to unregulated Indigenous workforce in the fields of addictions, wellness and in a range of social and health fields. The ICBOC professional certification system is embedded in a unique, culturally resonant capacity development model that reflects the realities, needs and aspirations of unregulated First Nations, Métis and Inuit workers, and of the individuals, families and communities they serve. The ICBOC’s
professional and technical certification standards and requirements match those of other non-Indigenous certification bodies in Canada and internationally — and exceed them with regard to cultural resonance, competence and safety. ICBOC is the first Indigenous organization that has developed a rigorous culture-embedded accreditation process actively contributing to the Indigenization of academic university and college programs, and promoting the training and education offered by Indigenous providers. The main components of the accreditation process aimed at institutional academic programs are the assessment of Indigenous input in all stages of a program and of its cultural safety, competence as well as its technical relevance to ICBOC certification standards and requirements.
New official plan for the Brant County By TRT Staff BRANT COUNTY – On Friday, November 8, 2019, the County of Brant celebrated World Town Planning Day. “To celebrate this event, County of Brant Planners went into local elementary schools and invited students to explore how communities are laid out and designed,” said Pam Duesling, General Manager of Development Services at the County of Brant. “Through interactive exercises, students had an opportunity to think about how the design of the community affects how we live and how good planning can address challenges.” The Planners shared their passion with grades two, three and four students at Cobblestone Elementary School in Paris this morning. Additional presentations will be occurring in other schools throughout the month. “Our hope is to inspire young people and encourage them to think about
their communities differently,” said Duesling. “Design can change how we live in and move around our community. Design can also have a positive impact on the environment.” Planners are responsible for upholding the policies as set out in the Official Plan. These policies speak to how the land can be used and what areas in the community can grow and how. The launch of the new Official Plan was introduced at a Special Planning Advisory Committee meeting on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Pending Council’s endorsement of the work plan on November 26, 2019, a large public engagement strategy will be implemented. Citizens will be invited to provide feedback on various topics such as building healthy communities, housing mix, growth areas, maintaining agricultural lands and green space, environmental protection and much more.

OHRC calls for expanded diabetes education STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
The Ontario Human Rights Commission has released its new policy and recommendations for Action to improve diabetes awareness and education for elementary, secondary and post-secondary students with disabilities. Diabetes Canada acknowledges this as a major step forward. The Ontario Human Rights Code protects people with disabilities, including diabetes, from discrimination and harassment. Diabetes Canada is hopeful that the actions undertaken will result in positive changes for students in Ontario living with type 1 diabetes. “The OHRC’s recommendations for key players in education (or education providers) to work together to remove the barriers for children with disabilities to acquire the necessary support at school are welcomed by parents with school-aged children with type 1 diabe-
tes,” says Russell Williams, Vice President of Government Relations and Public Policy, Diabetes Canada. “A child with type 1 diabetes at school requires an individual care plan that complies with their prescribed diabetes management regimen. That is not always achievable at school, but now we hope it will be.” Diabetes Canada believes that students living with diabetes have the right to be full and equal participants in school and in all school-related activities without the fear of being excluded, stigmatized, or discriminated against. Diabetes Canada Guidelines for the Care of Students Living with Diabetes outline how to support students living with diabetes at school. A Ministry of Education Policy/Program Memorandum (PPM 161)—requiring school boards to educate staff and ensure that care plans are developed for students with potentially life-threatening medical conditions—is an important and appreciated first step to keeping children and youth
with diabetes safe at school. However, there is still work to be done to ensure equitable support for students with type 1 diabetes across Ontario. To maintain long-term good health, students with diabetes must balance insulin, food and activity every day. With support from school personnel, most students can manage their diabetes independently while at school. However, some students are unable to perform the daily diabetes management tasks and may require someone to assist with or to administer insulin, monitor blood sugar levels, or supervise food intake and activity. Poor management of blood sugar levels can seriously affect academic performance and sometimes result in a student’s exclusion from school activities and field trips. Ongoing elevated blood sugar that is not recognized and left untreated can eventually lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, blindness, amputation and kidney failure.

Brantford’s xenophobic past JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Over the past 25-years or so, most of the civilized world has become more aware of the systematic racism intrinsically woven into the fabric of today’s western society. Although there is always more that can be done, it is getting better. Brantford’s treatment of Six Nations Indians of the 19th and early 20th century is well documented for anyone willing to look. Thefts of land, misuse of Six Nations Trust Funds, and other frauds perpetrated against Six Nations offer testimony of that. Canada had grown up as a nation closely linked to Great Britain and its seemingly endless wars. By 1914, Canada was marshalling thousands of troops for the European war effort. Then, after a 20-year laps of relative peace between 1919 and 1939, WWII broke out in 1939, ending in 1945. Then on heals of that
came the Korean War of 1950-53. Although Canada was not officially fighting in Vietnam, there was a number of Canadians and Six Nations warriors fighting or assisting the main troops in the 195575 conflict. Waging war also releases socially toxic poisons that can last for generations. It has always been much easier to kill an enemy that is considered “subhuman” and not worthy of respect, honour or dignity. After the war, these monickers stuck and were passed down to the next generation along with at least some of the prejudice and racist attitudes. We figured that if mom and dad talk that way about people, they must be right and so it’s OK. That was my generation. Baby Boomers they call us now, but we were the post war generation who had to deal with fathers and brothers coming home damaged That long string of wars required successive generations of otherwise normal Canadians to be
marinated in the worst kind of racism without impunity. In fact it was encouraged. If we were the good guy, there had to be a bad guy. In Canada’s case, sons and fathers and brothers were taught that the South Africans were evil after gold and diamonds were found in abundance. Then it was the Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Italians or any eastern Europeans who had become the bad guys that we were taught to hate and fear. Then the Japanese, then the Koreans, then the Chinese and Vietnamese. Now it’s people from any Muslim state or Central Americans, or Mexicans who are the targets of abuse. All this indoctrination of hate for anyone different in any way from our selves was painted on. Coat after coat of racial slurs, epithet and stereo-types just accepted as normal talk. Brantford was no different than any other Canadian town or city at

What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a process of addressing disputes, conflicts and acts of crime that enables the person who caused the harm and the individual or individuals who were affected by the harm to come together. The RJ is a process that leads both parties in to understanding the underlying causes of disputes, conflicts and acts of crime. It is an opportunity for the harmer to hear about the harm that she/he has done from the individual(s) that has been harmed and to make reparations. RJ is a process that leans into helping both parties (harmer and the harmed). RJ is process that is not to cause more harm but to bring enlightenment to the dispute, conflict or act of crime. Haudenosaunee legal principles guide the process between the two parties in coming to a resolution and/or agreement. RJ is a contrast to the traditional legal system in Canada which metes out a punishment for each act of wrongdoing assuming the punishment will contribute to victim and societal satisfaction. RJ focuses on repairing damage and restoring relationships.

Psychologically, RJ is similar to the process of combing the snakes from his hair and requires community to understand and to assist in alleviating the harmer’s pain.

By The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - A fiddle played the sombre strains of the Last Post and Amazing Grace during a special ceremony Friday to remember the contributions of Canada's Metis people during the Second World War as well as the discrimination that greeted them upon their return home. The ceremony followed a formal apology and a promise of compensation from the federal government in September that acknowledged Metis veterans were not allowed to receive the same benefits and reintegration support as other Canadians after the war. The issue remained a sore point for the Metis community for decades, particularly after the government issued an apology and compensation to First Nations' veterans for similar discrimination in 2002. Speaking to the small gathering of veterans, family members and supporters who gathered around the National Indigenous
War Memorial for Friday's ceremony, David Chartrand of the Metis National Council thanked the Liberal government for the apology and compensation. ``But one of the things that I press upon is a lot of them (Metis veterans) have now passed on, they did not see this day of remembrance, of honour and respect that this country brought to them, which should have been done 75 years ago.’' The Liberal government first indicated in March that it planned to make amends to Canada's Metis veterans when it set aside $30 million in the federal budget to provide compensation to Metis veterans treated unfairly, and to commemorate their contributions. Two veterans — George Ricard and Guy Lafreniere, both 94 — braved sub-zero temperatures to attend the ceremony in Ottawa Friday with their families before they were presented with $20,000 cheques as part of the agreement between

the government and Metis nation. ``He was never recognized,'' Jim Ricard said of his father, George, who enlisted as a 17-year-old and repaired Sunderland bombers in Ireland during the war before spending two years helping rebuild Dusseldorf, Germany. ``I think it's fantastic that they finally did something.'' Ricard and Lafreniere are the 12th and 13th veterans to have been compensated by the government, according to the Metis National Council. The organization could not say how many Metis veterans are still alive and eligible for such payments. The families of veterans who have died within the last three years can also receive compensation. About $20 million of the budget 2019 will go into a legacy fund to support several commemorative initiatives, including the expected building of a monument and the provision of bursaries or grants for Metis students.

A Statement by Minister Rickford on Aboriginal Veterans Day STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs issued the following statement on Aboriginal Veterans Day: “Lest we forget, each year the Ontario govern-
ment recognizes the long and proud history of First Nations, Métis and Inuit contributions to the military history of Canada. Ever since distinguishing themselves fighting alongside British soldiers in the War of 1812, Indigenous people have demonstrated their valour as they have continued to
volunteer and sacrifice. Indigenous men and women have continued this tradition of enlisting to this day, being deployed by NATO, serving with the United Nations and other multinational peace support missions around the world. There are many places people in Ontario can visit
to remember and learn about the contributions of Aboriginal veterans. The National Aboriginal Veterans Monument is located in Ottawa. In Parry Sound, you can find a monument to the valour of Company Sergeant-Major Francis Pegahmagabow of Wasauksing First Nation. Pegahmagabow was the
most decorated Indigenous Canadian to fight in the First World War. There are also a number of First Nations, including those at Mississaugas of the Credit and Alderville, that hold ceremonies of remembrance. Please join me as we honour and learn more about the contributions
of Aboriginal veterans on this important day. We will remember them. Nya:weh. Miigwetch, Marsi, Thank you.”
You can read more about Pegahmagabow in this issue! See page 16 for an article about him written by Jim Windle.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained WSP to undertake the Preliminary Design, Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements along Highway 401 from 1 km west of the Homer Watson Boulevard interchange to 1.5 km east of the King Street interchange, in the Cities of Kitchener and Cambridge, within the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, as shown in the key plan. The improvements include: • Replacement of the Highway 401 Grand River Bridges (eastbound and westbound) to accommodate the ultimate Highway 401 widening; • Localized widening of Highway 401 to accommodate traffic staging and the widened Grand River Bridge structures; • Rehabilitation of the King Street Overpass on Highway 401; • Reconfiguration of a portion of the King Street ramps and interchange; • Pavement reconstruction with median barrier replacement; • Storm sewer reconstruction; and • Extending the high mast lighting from Highway 8 westerly to the Homer Watson Boulevard interchange.

Brantford's past cont'd that moment in history. Residents from “enemy nations” were deemed enemy aliens, so German, Austrian, and Turkish descent were highly suspect. There is record of this from contemporary local news stories. In a biography about early Brantford it is written, “Brantford’s immigrant population, that is, non-British immigrants, continued to remain a convenient target for blame when the occasion arose. They were seen as competitors for jobs. The city police commissioners wanted these “enemy aliens” in the city deported. Although nothing came of the matter, their request was endorsed by city council.” Also: “In 1918 foreigners, that is, those who spoke with an Eastern European accent, were barred from using the city run swimming area on the Grand River.”
This study has followed the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for Group “B” projects, under which the Transportation Environmental Study Report for the improvements to Highway 401 and Highway 8 in an area encompassing the Grand River Bridges and the King Street interchange was completed in 2009 and EA approval was obtained in 2010. This study includes portions of the 2010 EA approved plan. A review was undertaken and determined that there have been no significant changes to the EA approved plan and the study proceeded to Detailed Design. The Detailed Design is nearing completion and a Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been prepared documenting the detailed design, construction staging, and potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures. The DCR is being filed for public review from November 14, 2019 to December 16, 2019, and is available on the project website (www.Hwy401GrandRiverBridges.ca) and at the following locations during regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Guelph District Office 1 Stone Road West Guelph, ON

We remember “Peggy” 1918 - the life of Francis Pegahmagabow By Jim Windle w/ notes Valour Canada At 11 a.m., Nov. 11th, 1918, the sound of thunder of cannon fire and explosions, the rat-tat-tat fire machine guns and the hell of the trenches ended with the capitulation of the German war machine. Although the killing stopped, the dying didn’t as hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers from both sides, passed for months and years after from horrific war wounds and the effects of mustard gas and various trench diseases. Others returned damaged from the visions and sounds of war. Not counting Inuit and Metis, there was more that 4,000 status Indians enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, more than 300 of them did not return. While on the front, they earned a stout reputation amongst the allied command for their bravery and stealth which made many of them perfect as snipers, scouts messengers as well as intelligent infantry.
Canadian Expeditionary Force soldiers from the the Six Nations of PHOTO COURTESY OF SIX NATIONS PUBLIC LIBRARY the Grand River.
Of the more than 600 Indigenous Nations represented, Six Nations and Bay of Quinte Mohawks comprised the vas majority of those answering the call. But across Canada the women and those who stayed home contributed to the war effort in other ways and for other reasons. Some, like Six Nations Women’s Patriotic League formed knitting clubs and fundraisers for the war effort and even designed and made a regimental flag. There were two all-Native battalions mustered,
one, the 107th Timberwolf Battalion out of Winnipeg and Brock’s Rangers (aka the 114th) which is where most Six Nations warriors ended up. But when they arrived in the battle front, the 114th was broken up and placed with other units. By the end of hostilities, 75 medals of valour were awarded to Canada’s faithful allies. Amongst them were Francis Pegahmagabow from the Ojibwe Nation of Wasauksing Ontario. He was known as “Peggy” to his fellow soldiers
of the 23rd Canadian Regiment, 1st battalion and competed his tour of duty with 378 credited kills and captured another 300 before being killed at Vimme Ridge. He was awards the Military Medal with two bars, the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal before returning to his home reserve which he served twice as band Chief before passing away in 1952. Henry Northwest, as Cree/Metis from Saskatchewan was also a successful snipper recording 115 confirmed kills. In his nearly three years of service with the 50th Canadian Infantry Battalion, the Lance-corporal achieved a sniping record of 115 fatal shots. The former ranch-hand and rodeo performer also merited the Military Medal and bar, making him one of roughly 830 members of the CEF to be awarded this double honour. A letter written by his Lieut. Colonel in 1918 captures the essence of
Northwest as a man and as a soldier. “NORTHWEST is dead. I doubt if anyone in the Canadian Corps or in the whole British Army for that matter, had a finer record than he - one-hundred and fifteen hits observed - one hundred and fifteen hits dead or badly wounded. All the efforts of one man. He was a peculiar character. Very silent, very intent. As delighted as a child at his success and as grim as the avenging angel when on his work. I have seen him in his position waiting for a chance to get a shot, and he reminded me for all the world of a pointer pointing. His whole body was tense with eagerness, his whole mind set on his work. Day after day he would lie out in exposed positions waiting, waiting. His patience was colossal. No place was too dangerous for him to go. No risks too great to take, as long as he was killing. He won the Military
Medal and Bar and richly he earned them. His Indigenous blood possibly helped him in his work, possibly inherited his patience and intuition from his hunting forebears. He fell at last, shot through the head by a German snipper on the 18th day of August 1918, and was buried at WARVILLERS, a small village he had helped to wrestle from the enemy. The most fitting epitaph that can be put on his grave is the remark that was made by men when the heard of his death. “It must have been a damn good sniper that got Northwest.” And so he passed away, another of the stalwart characters that have helped to make the Canadian Corps what is is. We have lost his service but his memory will be ever with us, his example and inspiration. Lieut. Colonel Commanding 50th Canadian Battalion.

Trip`s Auto open for 25 years By TRT Staff From needing a family van, to something sporty or leisurely — vehicles have become an integral part of modern living. But there are many things that take place at car dealerships that can seem mysterious to car-shoppers. And when car shopping, the experience should be as smooth and enjoyable as possible with the end result
being a too-good-to-betrue ride by working with a dealership that actively works to provide what is needed. Founded in 1991, Trips Auto looks to provide that experience. This dealership displays fully re-conditioned, quality used vehicles that are certified and e-tested and professionally detailed. The freedom of pulling away from public transportation for daily commutes
and the liberty of independence that comes with a car are intrinsic with a bustling lifestyle. Over the past 25 years, Trip’s Auto has been honoured and privileged to serve Brantford, Woodstock, Cambridge, Port Dover, Simcoe, Paris, the Greater Hamilton area, Burlington, London, Burford, Kitchener, and surrounding areas. The answers you provide can get you a great vehi-
cle as a result: how many passengers do you need to carry? What type of driving do you do? Is it primarily highway, surface streets, off-road? Do you have a long commute and, because of that, is fuel economy important to you? Do you need allwheel drive ? ? The staff look forward to working with customers and take the time to understand what is needed under the mantra of “we offer an interaction, not a transaction.” “I am so in love with my
new car and I am incredibly grateful to the staff for being so kind and friendly throughout this process!” wrote Chasity Danielson earlier this week. “These guys are the best at what they do. Very friendly and welcoming. I have been with them for quite some time,” Shanelle Martin commended the dealership in October. “Trip`s Auto is probably the best place I could have gone for getting my first car. They answered me every day, including weekends. They worked so fast and
just helped me so much! Outstanding costumer service, beautiful office, and fantastic staff, 5 of 5 stars,” said Merissa Dygos to Facebook from June. Trip’s Auto team also understands that building and keeping good credit is essential. The team will work with customers on how to improve credit based on needs as “your past credit doesn’t have to hold you back” – as their fresh start program considers the value of the vehicle and doesn’t weigh heavily on your previous credit.

They have recently added content to specifically recognize Indigenous Peoples. “We have mandatory seminars and training offered in-house through Native Horizons Treatment Centre and other members and organizations within our Indigenous Community,” she says. “We encourage
all our students to engage in any training being offered within our community, to support Indigenous Peoples to overcome obstacles to medical care, health and welfare.” Laird proudly states that Westervelt College has and will continue to redefine themselves and their college's culture, through the Truth and Reconciliation Committee's Calls to Action as a partner, in this process. “Many of our programs are accredited with their governing provincial bodies, allowing our graduates to sit for and write provincial exams, within their fields of study,” says Laird. The Brantford Campus has worked within this community for 19 years, and understands the unique needs of Brant, Brantford and Six Nations.

Government Plan Invests in Brantford-Brant TORONTO — Finance Minister Rod Phillips yesterday released the 2019 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review: A Plan to Build Ontario Together — which maintains the government’s commitment to balance the budget by 2023–24 through prudent fiscal management while making strategic investments in critical public services, and strengthening the conditions for job creation. The government has a balanced plan for every Ontario community, with support for Brantford-Brant including: Addressing regional disparities in economic growth with the new Regional Development Program, which includes Southwestern Ontario Development Fund that will provide performance-based loans to eligible small- and medium-sized businesses in Brantford-Brant. Developing a Southwestern Ontario Transportation Plan, to help build a better transportation system to keep goods and people moving locally and across the region. Reducing Corporate Income Tax for small businesses from 3.2 percent to 3.5 percent to help local small businesses prosper and grow. Modernizing the skilled trades and apprentice system to both give people
the skills they need to succeed in a career in skilled trades and to better meet local skilled trades labour needs. Helping people and businesses connect and stay safe by investing 63.7 million to expand broadband in Southwestern Ontario. The government is making steady progress on its plan. Minister Phillips announced that the government is projected to beat its deficit target for 2019–20 by $1.3 billion — reducing the projected deficit to $9 billion from the $10.3 billion outlook presented in the 2019 Budget. The previous administration not only left the province with the largest subnational debt in the world, but also some daunting challenges including hallway health care, transit and roads that are heavily congested, and government services that are inefficient and outdated. “Since taking office 16 months ago, our government has taken steps to strengthen our finances, our economy and critical public services,” said Minister Phillips. “Solving these challenges has not been about grand gestures, but rather the practical and meaningful actions that help make life easier and more affordable for people, like reducing taxes, investing

in health care and education, and building modern transit and roads.” The government’s plan is balanced and prudent. While making steady progress to reduce the deficit, it is investing an additional $1.3 billion in critical services. This includes more funding for small- and medium-sized hospitals, public health units, child care and pro-
grams to help our most vulnerable. At the same time, the government is creating a climate to support and attract business investment and job creation across the province. In the 2019 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review the government is proposing to reduce the small business Corporate Income Tax rate to 3.2 per cent from 3.5
per cent beginning on January 1, 2020. This would provide tax relief of up to $1,500 annually to over 275,000 businesses — from family-owned shops to innovative start-ups. As a result of government actions to date, Ontario’s small businesses would save $2.3 billion in 2020. “Our government is taking real action to strength-
en our province and make life better for Ontarians,” said Will Bouma, MPP for Brantford-Brant “This Fall Economic Statement will improve our regional transportation system, support small- and medium-sized businesses in our community and help make life more affordable for the people of Brantford-Brant.”

CALIFORNIA — Isabella Madrigal has written, directed and starred in a play that tackles the obstacle of telling a story that highlights missing and murdered Indigenous women. She has won scholarships and awards for her work, which includes a national Girl Scout award and has since spoken at the United Nations. All at the age of 17. Madrigal, a Cahuilla Band of Indians tribal member, created "Menil and Her Heart,” a play inspired by ancient Cahuilla stories. It follows two sisters — played by Madrigal and her real life sister, Sophia Madrigal — one of whom goes missing. Since bringing the play to the Dorothy Ramon Learning Centre in Banning early this year, the cast has performed at the University of Redlands and Sherman Indian High School in Riverside. Upcoming performances will take place Nov. 17 at California State University, San Bernardino's Palm Desert campus and in the near future at the California Genocide Conference in San Diego. “When you get a bunch

of people on stage to tell a story and the audience is there to absorb it all, you’re creating this incredible connection and sharing ideas in a way that will truly stay with people,” she said to GirlScouts. org. “Witnessing events unfolding right in front of you—experiencing them, rather than reading them in a book or hearing about them some other way— gets to a deeper part of your soul and makes you really think about the issues at hand. “There was one issue in particular that I knew needed to be brought to
the stage—one that affects people in my own culture. More than eight in ten Native American women have experienced physical, sexual, or psychological violence in their lives, and the rate of missing and murdered women on some reservations is ten times higher than that of the rest of our country’s population. Nobody’s talking about this, though, and it’s devastating.” The play has been seen by over 700 people so far and will be performed in over five new venues this next year.

Getting ready for skilled trades jobs in Brantford-Brant-Six Nations Government Invests in Local Pre-Apprenticeship Programs STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
BRANTFORD - Ontario’s Government is supporting people in the BrantfordBrant-Six Nations area so that they can prepare for rewarding, well-paying careers in the skilled trades,
and employers can get the skilled workforce they need to make Ontario open for business and open for jobs. About one in five new jobs in Ontario over the next five years is expected to be in trades-related occupations. This year, the province will provide funding for local colleges and community organiza-
tions throughout Ontario to deliver pre-apprenticeship training programs. These programs help people gain experience and knowledge in trades and foundational job skills to secure fulfilling jobs. “Our government is taking action to address the skills shortage in Ontario,” said Monte McNaughton,
Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development. “We know there are vacancies in the skilled trades, and we are working hard to help people in the area match their skills to the ones local employers need. This investment means that more people will get trained in the professions we need for today and
tomorrow.” “I have regular meetings with local businesses in the area and one consistent theme that is prevalent in all of my discussions is the lack of skilled trades employees and apprentices” said Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma. “Our partnership with Six Nations Polytechnic to

continue to fund pre-apprenticeship training will go a long way to fill in this gap in our local labour pool” said Bouma. “Many trades are using cutting-edge technologies – robots, software, and automation – to help make processes faster. So it’s a great time to be in the skilled trades”. “Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) is actively engaged with employers in the Brantford-Brant region to design and deliver innovative pre-trades pathways that will lead to continued trades training and employment” said Rebecca Jamieson President and CEO of Six Nations Polytechnic. “SNP is very pleased that the Ontario Government continues to support our collaborative efforts with financial support for three pre-apprenticeship programs: Welder; Cook and General Machinist”. Brantford-Brant project includes: $393,001 to deliver pre-apprenticeship programs to 81 participants in Six Nations Polytechnic. Pre-apprenticeship programs are free for participants and always includes a work placement. The programs also promote careers in the trades for all Ontarians, including newcomers, youth, women and Indigenous people. The government recently passed the Modernizing the Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2019 as part of the Protecting What Matters Most, 2019 Budget Act to help transform the skilled trades and apprenticeship system, reduce red tape, and make Ontario open for business and open for jobs. For 2019-20, Ontario expanded its investment in pre-apprenticeship training to $20.8 million – an increase of $2.5 million from the previous year. This expanded investment will fund 91 projects across the province and help more than 1,800 people across the province prepare for jobs in the skilled trades. Pre-apprenticeship training programs last up to one year and often combine level one apprenticeship classroom training in the program’s principal trade along with an 8-12 week work placement.

Thomas got on a roll with eight straight points. “It was really exciting, but it got stressful,” I.L. Thomas Grade 6 player Peyten Vyse-Hill said. In terms of what they did well, she was quick to say, “serving and hitting it back.” Meanwhile L.S.K. who also came into the finals undefeated showed some true tenacity as they grabbed some momentum with four straight points in making things interesting by closing the gap 15-11. Continuing to roll, L.S.K.
achieved seven of the next 10 points as they managed to make a statement by making it a brand-new game at 18-18. With Junior Volleyball Gold up for grabs, I.L. Thomas revved up the offence by shooting five straight points which was a definite turning point as they sat on the edge of celebrating another championship. ”The biggest thing for me is that I like it when they work together,” I.L. Thomas co-coach Sara Kewayosh said. “That’s what I’m most proud of.” Kewayosh also went on to add, “We were good on serves. I think volleying saved us on a few plays.” Finding themselves two points away from finishing second, L.S.K. got the next point to make it 23-19 before the defending champions closed things out with consecutive points before celebrating what was another junior volleyball gold.

Creating stories out of colours and shapes just as she was taught in her childhood, Tracie Jackson, now a graphic designer for Nike, has brought her cultural influence to the 10th anniversary of the brand’s N7 collection.

NICA selects Wilson for Indigenous coach of the year STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
RICHMOND, B.C., —Back in September, Meagan Wilson, the 22-year-old rugby coach behind Iroquois Roots Rugby from the Six Nations community, was notified that she earned the Indigenous female coach of the year award. Meanwhile, Greg Meconse, a 23-year-old soccer coach from Winnipeg, is this year’s male Indigenous coach of the year. Both Wilson and Meconse were honoured at a ceremony held on November 8, which was held in conjunction with a sport
leadership conference. The accolades, called the 2019 National Indigenous Coaching Awards, were selected by officials from the Aboriginal Sport Circle, the national body which governs Indigenous athletics. Wilson, who started playing rugby while she was in high school at Brantford Collegiate Institute in Ontario, but for her Grade 12 year, she went to a private school in B.C., Shawinigan Lake School, on a full scholarship after school officials became aware of her rugby prowess. She later founded the Iroquois Roots Rugby program in 2017. Wilson has taken her
program to various First Nations throughout Ontario in the past two years to introduce rugby to Indigenous youth of all ages. Based out of Ohsweken, the program fielded under-18 female and male teams this season. The two clubs participated in tournaments in Markham and Brantford. And they will also compete at an event in Orlando, Florida this coming April.Wilson said Iroquois Roots Rugby is also looking to field under-15 teams, both female and male, in 2020. As for Meconse, a member of the Pinaymootang First Nation in Manitoba, was surprised to be chosen as this year’s top
Indigenous male coach. That’s because he has only been coaching for one year. Meconse, who has Anishinabee and Cree ancestry, was also an accomplished soccer player himself. He spent two seasons toiling with the University of Northern British Columbia men’s team. He also toiled one year with the men’s team at the Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg. He was also hoping to suit up for the University of Winnipeg, where he is currently a student. But the university cancelled its men’s soccer program. Besides coaching soccer at the community level in
Winnipeg, Meconse will also be coaching the Manitoba male under-16 team at the 2020 North American Indigenous Games in Halifax next summer.

TORONTO — Dskate, in partnership with Novo Nordisk Canada, proudly present the Dskate World Diabetes Day Hockey Classic — a free hockey tournament and platform that invites youth hockey players living with Type 1 Diabetes to showcase their skills and change the conversation about how to live a full and rich life. The three-day tournament kicks-off November 13 -15, 2019, at the Canlan Ice Sports York in North York. The Dskate Hockey program is a cutting-edge organization that provides quality skill-development, improvement, and off-ice support to families across North America who have been touched by diabetes. The inaugural tournament will see a number of hockey and diabetes supporters from across North America who will join in the various activities planned throughout the tournament. Together, Canadian families, their children, and the medical community will have the opportunity to unite around a game they love, all while providing support, education, and access to information to
the community they have built. "This is a wonderful opportunity to get kids together who are living with Type 1 Diabetes, and to share the strategies we know help to improve their blood sugar management for sports like hockey," says Dr. Michael Riddell, Director of Education at Dskate and Professor & Graduate Program Director of School of Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty, York University. For Dskate founder, Steven Hindle, the tournament hits close to home. "This is our first year rolling out the Dskate World Diabetes Day Hockey Classic, and I couldn't be more proud of our Dskate families, staff and supporters. Having grown up in a Type 1 Diabetes household, I know firsthand how daily management of the disease can impact an athlete who needs flexibility to manage an active life along with their diabetes.” Registration is free for all Type 1 Diabetes players who wish to participate. Registration includes one practice, five games, one special skill-testing combination of sports drills to determine speed, strength and skill level, education sessions and
family events. Dskate World Diabetes Day Hockey Classic, presented in partnership with Novo Nordisk Canada, is a hockey tournament exclusively for players living with Type 1 Diabetes.

With room for 17 players per team (including 9 forwards, 6 defensemen and 2 goalies), Dskate aims to ice a competitively balanced group of teams that will allow T1D hockey players and their families to celebrate our growing community.

Cherry’s 'you people' rant on Coach’s Corner cost the commentator and former Bruins coach his job. He singled out new immigrants last for not wearing poppies to honour Canada’s veterans and dead soldiers, which resulted in public outcry. “You people … you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy
or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price,” said Cherry live. On Monday, Sportsnet announced his removal, writing: “Sports brings people together — it unites us, not divides us,” the statement from Bart Yabsley, Sportsnet president, said. “Following further discussions with Don Cherry after Saturday night’s broadcast, it has been decided it is the right time for him to immediately step down,”
to Twitter. “During the broadcast, he made divisive remarks that do not represent our values or what we stand for. Don is synonymous with hockey and has played an integral role in growing the game over the past 40 years. We would like to thank Don for his contributions to hockey and sports broadcasting in Canada.” Cherry, however, has chosen to stick by his sentiment, telling the Toronto Sun Monday that he meant every word he said.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have to make your own opportunities rather than waiting for some to fall in your lap. Only then can you prove to others what you’re worth.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Few things rustle your feathers, Taurus. But when your ire is up, take a step back to collect yourself. Use the latter half of the week to get things back in order. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It may take a few steps in the wrong direction to realize you need to change course, Gemini. But smooth sailing will soon prevail. Stay the course.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, with many new changes happening in your life, you may be wishing for the familiarity of things you once had. Revisit photo albums or talk to old friends for nostalgia.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, when you take a stand, others are sure to take notice at what you have to say. You have the kind of magnetism and presence to garner the attention and support of others.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Work-related stress may not go away entirely, but you can find a way to reduce it, Virgo. Indulge in a long lunch with coworkers or take a much-needed day off to clear your mind. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It may take some extra motivation for you to get moving on a project at home, Libra. But once the momentum takes hold, it will be smooth sailing for several days.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Many times it is not what you say but what you do not say that has the most impact, Scorpio. Consider your words carefully before speaking up. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Managing a household can be just as important as keeping your professional life running smoothly, Sagittarius. Give yourself a pat on the back if you’re accomplishing both.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A vacation may be just what the doctor ordered, Capricorn. Begin researching destinations now and figure out the best way to finance a trip to get away and soak up the sun.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A change of scenery may do you some good in the days ahead, Aquarius. See if you can fit in an extended weekend to clear your mind.
