HAMILTON — Santee Smith was installed as McMaster’s 19th chancellor, the university’s first indigenous chancellor, on November 21 and 22. Smith, an internationally recognized artist, dancer and choreographer, was installed at the first of three convocation ceremonies. The role of chancellor at the university is a prestigious one, considered to be the honorary head of the university, and one the new chancellor says she will bring a different perspective to. “My Haudenosaunee name is Tekaronhiáhkhwa, which means ‘picking up the sky,’” Smith explained in her address to the crowd gathered at the FirstOntar-
io Concert Hall (formerly Hamilton Place). “As a proud Konkwehon:we – Mohawk woman – and a proud McMaster alumna, I couldn’t be more thrilled to offer my insights. It’s a privilege to be in service to McMaster – upholding the mission and values of the university, and expanding upon the principles of understanding and cooperation of the Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas, on whose land we now stand, work, play, learn and share.” The Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan woman is a two-time McMaster graduate, holding degrees in physical education and psychology, along with a Master of Arts in dance from York University. Accompanied by a trio of singers including Jennifer Kerisberg, Benay Elijah and Smith’s daughter, Semiah
Smith, a third-year Health Sciences student, Smith donned the ceremonial chancellor’s robe for the first time. The garment incorporated both the traditions of the office of chancellor and Smith’s own Mohawk and Scottish heritage with traditional bead work. Trimmed with gold braid taken from the previous robe, her chancellor regalia incorporates a yoke, cuffs and Glengarry hat with traditional beading created by designer Elaine Redding and seamstress Naomi Smith. McMaster’s first-ever indigenous chancellor will preside over all convocations and participate in a wide range of activities and events. It is McMaster’s tradition to choose alumni who have made significant contributions to society as chancellor.
“I am humbled to be a part of McMaster university in such a significant way, and support the vision of one of the world’s most respected and renowned universities,” said Smith. Last year, her production of The Mush Hole which highlights Canada’s first residential school, The Mohawk Institute, was presented by McMaster University as a part of the Socrates Project. Initiatives such as that, said Smith, promote understanding. “In many instances western based knowledge is playing catch up to our ancient understandings, particular to wellbeing and health, the environment and equitable diplomacy. As Chancellor, I aim to position the sharing of truth at the forefront, for example setting Canada’s Truth & Reconciliation — Calls to Action…into actions.”

SNP says CBD illegal By TRT Staff Six Nations Police Services has released a statement reminding residents that individuals offering CBD oil or any other cannabis-based products for sale, are doing so illegally. The Federal Cannabis Act creates a strict legal framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis. Any unlicensed retailer selling CBD oil or any other cannabis-based product such as seeds or edibles is illegal. Strict Federal Safety and Quality Regulations protect public health and community safety. As such, retailers currently selling CBD oil or other cannabis-based products in their stores are required to immediately cease the sale of these products. The Six Nations Police Service say they will continue to act by enforcing and prosecuting those involved in this illegal activity, to encourage compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
Leg work and journalism By TRT Staff Contacts are very important for all journalists and reporters. A contact is the person or persons whom a journalist contacts for information on a news story or feature that they are working on. The importance of contacts to a journalist cannot be stressed upon enough. A journalist can never excel in their career without a long and diverse list of contacts they can easily reach. Without good contacts it is going to be very difficult for a journalist or reporter to get good news stories or even to write good features which are very vital in growing a journalist’s career. The contacts can range from people such as health practitioners, members of parliament, ministers, pastors, musicians, police officers, public relation officers of major companies, activists, other journalists, religious groups, pressure groups, footballers, economists and more. The contacts are literally any important person from which news or information can be gotten from. But being on the outside looking in, non-indigenous reporters can’t really access indigenous communities enough to network and this is simply natural. If trust isn’t cultivated, who is to say that a “random reporter,” won’t go and twist and warp any given story. And indigenous communities
and people are generally where the news is because we’re constantly entangled in battles for sovereignty, protests, and tussles with the government. Thus, inexperienced indigenous reporters are often used for their contacts, and if they work outside of their communities, they are sometimes punished for their connections to indigenous communities because their writing is then deemed biased. This sentiment was shared by a journalist based out of Vancouver and it is one that the writers at the Two Row Times know well. Often, news outlets will reach out and ask for our connections and the emails are ignored because who are we to give out those contacts. Its a simple rule that in order for a journalist to get a good contact — it takes time. Before a journalist or reporter can even get a real contact that will supply him or her with relevant stories and information, there is the need for a close relationship to exist between the journalist and the contact. In other words, instead of going to an indigenous news publication to get started, non-indigenous reporters should be forced to do the leg work and get to know the people they want to write about. They should have to prove themselves, just like we have to.
Open Letter for Two Row Times To all Six Nations citizens from the Core Team of the Six Nations Lifelong Learning Task Force (LLTF) in response to a recent article published in the Turtle Island News covering the LLTF presentation to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council of Chiefs (HCCC). The Manager of the Education Coordination Office, established through the work of the Lifelong Learning Task Force, was recently invited by the HCCC to provide them with an overview of the current community initiative on education. The presentation provided the HCCC with a basic understanding of how the initiative began, the mandate of the Task Force and outcomes of activities to date. The presentation began by acknowledging that the initiative currently lacks representation from the HCCC and that we are hoping to be able to obtain input from the HCCC in the future. The mandate of the Task Force was presented as an exploration of options and the development of recommendations on a world-class lifelong learning (education) system that is based on language and culture for Six Nations of the Grand River. The 2018 Community Engagement Report, the Six Nations Education Study and the Six Nations Lifelong Learning (Education) System Roadmap were cited as key outcomes of the recent activity of the Task Force (all documents are public on the Six Nations of the

Oneida Business Park Suite 124 50 Generations Drive, Box 1 Ohsweken, ON N0A 1M0
Grand River websitehttp://www.sixnations. ca/Lifelonglearningtaskforce.htm). The purpose of this open letter is to provide clarity on some of the contents of the recent news article in the Turtle Island News. The article began by stating that the HCCC “will not support any take over of education at Six Nations without permanent funding attached.” This is a sentiment shared by the LLTF as we progress on the exploration of options and the development of recommendations for education in our community. The article indicates the LLTF is looking for a legal agreement which binds Canada to fund our education system through funding transfers directly from the Treasury Board to an autonomous (from political) Education Coordination entity in perpetuity (forever – not on a time limited basis). However, the article also indicates that one of the HCCC Chiefs believes the band administration is considering educational funding for 10 years only with no guarantees. This is in direct contrast to what was presented to the HCCC. The LLTF is not considering any time limited options– we are working towards a funding guarantee that meets the needs of our community for now and generations to come with no time limit (in perpetuity). The LLTF presenter indicated to the HCCC that there is no current
guarantee of funding to conduct the engagement, planning and negotiation required to obtain this legal agreement in perpetuity. Funding for the work being undertaken presently is obtained piecemeal through submitting proposals through various funding envelopes and opportunities as they arise. However, the article states that the same HCCC Chief misconstrued this to mean Six Nations would have no funding guarantee if we were to recover control over our own education system. For clarity – a legal agreement, in perpetuity, would have to be agreed to by the community and finalized with Canada before the LLTF would proceed with recovery of full community control over education. The last area of inconsistency to be addressed lies in the assertion by the same HCCC Chief that the activities of the LLTF are feeding into the implementation of the controversial federal Indigenous Rights Framework. To be clear – the Core Team of the LLTF has reviewed all current federal policies under which First Nations can assert various levels of control and jurisdiction over education and have found that none that meet our needs. The LLTF is looking to establish an agreement with Canada unique to Six Nations that meets the needs of the whole community and especially our learners. The Six Nations Elected Council rejected the federal Indigenous Rights
Framework via resolution at the General Council meeting on November 13, 2018 and sent letters to the Prime Minister stating their opposition as they viewed the proposed Framework as a significant threat to the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples and Treaty relationships. Furthermore, the letters stated that the Framework was a direct affront to true processes of decolonization. The LLTF adhere to this position in this initiative. As outlined there are many areas the work of the LLTF and the HCCC align on. It is for the benefit of all current and future learners in our community and the preservation of our languages, our cultures and Nations that the HCCC provide their vast knowledge and wisdom into this community effort to recover full control over our education system. Future plans include answering questions where gaps exist in our knowledge through secondary research and community engagement.

Submitted by the Core Team of the Lifelong Learning Task Force, forwarded from Julia Candlish, the Education Manager at the Education Coordination Office of the Six Nations of the Grand River.

Disclosure information is available on the original site. This year, Canada experienced record-breaking temperatures across the nation, with a larger increase above normal temperatures in the north than in the south. Canada's annual average temperature has warmed 1.7C since 1948, but in northern Canada it has increased by 2.3C. The Canadian North is feeling the impacts of climate change more acutely than the rest of the country. And Indigenous communi-
ties, representing half of the residents of the three Canadian northern territories, are the most vulnerable to these climate changes. Northern populations have observed landscape and natural resources changes like permafrost thaw, shifts in wildlife and plant diversity, and changes in water and food quality. Indigenous knowledge is an essential asset for communities to adapt to climate change, by knowing the land, using the local natural resources, sharing capital, and taking a community approach to local issues. But it is well documented that the most vulnerable communities across the globe are excluded from decision-making processes and thus marginalized. Indigenous groups in northern Canada, with their traditional interpersonal networks and social initiatives, seem to have developed a unique structure to cope with climate change and environmental stressors without relying on federal or local policies and infrastructure. Based on this, it seems that one way to enhance peoples' resilience to climate change is to improve the social cap-
ital — or social networks — of populations. Social capital as a concept is not new. American political scientist Robert Putnam helped to popularize the term in the late '90s. Basically it is the creation and maintenance of healthy social contacts that can improve the ``flow of information, trust, reciprocity, co-operation and productivity'' within communities. Knowing neighbours and exchanging various favours is a component of social capital. This understanding of social cohesion is also used in epidemiology, public health, resource distribution and environment policy studies. The World Health Organization uses the concept of social capital to increase participation in its programs across the globe. The Canadian government also tracks trends in social capital. The acknowledgement of the value of social networks can bring insights into how federal and local governments can guide climate change adaptation initiatives. Although the response to climate change varies

Why government and industry want us to view the CN Rail strike as a security risk CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Written by Andrew Crosby, PhD Student, Carleton 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. The trains of Canada's largest railway company have ground to a halt after some 3,200 CN Rail workers recently walked off the job. Within the first 48 hours of the strike, provincial leaders and the private sector sounded the alarm. The premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec declared an ``emergency'' and demanded the federal government intervene and table back-to-work legislation. The national association representing the propane industry — which relies predominantly on rail transport — issued a news release warning:``It is
critical that action is taken immediately.'' Nathalie St-Pierre, head of the association, said an extensive wait for truckers picking up propane in Sarnia, Ont., three days into the strike was ``something that's never been experienced.’' That may or may not be so, but both the propane industry and CN have a history of hostility toward disruptions to business as usual. Documents I obtained via access-to-information legislation reveal that national security officials have been preparing for such an event. During the course of conducting research for Policing Indigenous Movements, I obtained thousands of pages of internal documents. These files paint a picture of how police and government respond to protests that are framed as threats to national security, and how corporations have become integrated into efforts to protect critical infrastructure. The Idle No More movement became a focal point for security efforts to mitigate any future economic disruptions. In support of Attawa-
piskat Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike on Victoria Island on the Ottawa River, members of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation established a blockade of a CN spur line on their territory adjacent to ``chemical valley'' in Sarnia. CN immediately sought an injunction to bring down the blockade. It was granted by Justice David Brown, a former CN lawyer and expert witness. CN sought $50,000 in financial damages for the 13-day blockade. First Nations protester Ron Plain was ordered to pay more than $16,500 in damages for being ``the visible spokesperson of a protest that openly defied a court order.’' The Sarnia police force was also chastised by CN. The chief of police was summoned to court to explain why the police force did not forcefully bring down the blockade. Briefing notes and emails produced by the RCMP _ including the Critical Infrastructure Intelligence Team's National Security Criminal Operations, which monitored Idle No More closely _ acknowledged that ``CN policy is to

Are rail blockades a security risk? continued from page 7 seek an injunction where a railway is blocked'' and to levy indictable mischief, intimidation and trespass charges under the Railway Safety Act. During the Aamjiwnaang rail blockade, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) bureaucrats monitored social media and solicited Sarnia police for intelligence. INAC emails reveal that CN's Manager of Aboriginal Relations asked a senior government official to intervene and request the blockade be dismantled, further noting that CN officials were ``extremely frustrated'' with police. St-Pierre wants the federal government to declare propane an essential product for trains to move without interruption. ``When you depend on an infrastructure so important as the rail, it's difficult to have a Plan B,'' she said. Invoking the national interest and critical infrastructure sends a direct message to the federal government, which, as it turns out, has
already prepared for such a contingency. A memo prepared for Public Safety's deputy minister outlined that ``the scenario centres on a small and peaceful protest that will gradually escalate to a major protest occurring in several regions of the country.’' The invitees included 17 federal agencies, including INAC, the RCMP, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre. Interestingly, the exercise scenario centred on the blockade of a CN rail line in southern Ontario. During the exercise, government officials co-ordinated to weigh various options and respond to different scenarios, which included pressure from the propane industry. When negotiators are unable to end a blockade or reach an agreement during a labour disruption, it's clear that events can be put under a national security microscope and conveniently framed as threats to
critical infrastructure. Indeed, the Aamjiwnaang rail blockade and subsequent scenario-planning exercises may have helped inform the 2015 update to the Anti-Terrorism Act and the embedded Security of Information Sharing Act (SCISA). The SCISA facilitates the sharing of information among 17 government departments regarding ``any activity that undermines the sovereignty, security or territorial integrity of Canada or the lives or the security of the people of Canada.'' This type of activity includes ``interference with the economic or financial stability of Canada'' or ``interference with critical infrastructure.’' Under these terms, strikes and blockades fall under the purview of counter-terrorism measures. The union representing rail workers has suggested CN and others are whipping up hysteria and manufacturing a crisis in order to crush the strike.

AFN challenges Canada in court By TRT Staff OTTAWA — The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) was in federal court on Monday, November 25 to oppose the federal government's Judicial Review of the recent Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) decision to compensate First Nations children and families who were wrongfully removed under the child welfare system and those denied essential services. "The AFN will always stand up for First Nations
children and families," said AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde. "Canada has to stop fighting its own Human Rights Tribunal and respect the ruling to work with us on compensation for First Nations children and families who suffered from 'willful and reckless' discrimination. Canada says it's open to discussing compensation, so it should send a strong signal of support by withdrawing its Judicial Review and meet with us immediately. Until that happens we will fight

them every step of the way in court. This is too important.” On October 4, 2019, the Government of Canada requested a Judicial Review of a September 6, 2019 CHRT decision ordering compensation for First Nations children wrongly removed or denied essential services. The CHRT cited Canada's discrimination against First Nations children and families as "willful and reckless" and ordered Canada to pay the maximum amount allowable.

R.I.D.E. stops begin to increase By TRT Staff BRANT/HALDIMAND — Drivers are warned that this Christmas season the Ontario Provincial Police will be very visible with random R.I.D.E. stations set up to check for impaired drivers and seatbelt violations on Brant and Haldimand County roads. They are calling it the Festive RIDE program. The gifts being given out however, can be very costly, especially during these
festive times. Insp. Lisa Anderson, detachment commander for Brant OPP, says the program is intended to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries due to impaired drivers. Anderson tipped her hand a bit by announcing that increased focus will include Cockshutt Road, Highway 24 and Highway 54. On Highway 24, personally injury accidents are down 70 per cent, with no fatalities.
OPP is now equipped with cannabis detecting tools can detect cannabis and cocaine in a driver’s saliva. “We want drivers to know in an attempt to change driving behaviour,” she said. “So far, it’s working.” Locally, 10 people were charged with impaired driving – one being impaired by drugs – as a result of 58 RIDE checks last year.

Santee Smith to receive one of five legacy prizes STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO – The Metcalf Foundation has announced the five winners of the inaugural Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prizes/Les Prix Johanna-Metcalf des Arts de la scène: multidisciplinary artist Santee Smith; playwright and theatre creator Sunny Drake; composer and classical pianist Alice Ping Yee Ho; composer James Rolfe; and world music performer and composer Maryem Tollar. The five winners have been chosen from amongst fifteen finalists from across Ontario. On December 12, 2019, within the Toronto’s Artscape Daniels Launchpad, the award winners will be recognized and awarded $25,000 each; in addition, the winners are set to have selected a protégé that will receive $5,000.
The five protégés are: Bilal Baig (Sunny Drake); Roydon Tse (Alive Ping Yee Ho); Sophie Dupuis (James Rolfe); Cody Berry (Santee Smith); and Demetrios Petsalakis (Maryem Tollar). In 2005, Smith founded the Haudenosaunee company Kaha:wi Dance Theatre and has grown the company into an internationally renowned theatre of dance. Her artistic work utilizes choreography, music and performance to illustrate identity and Indigenous narratives. She has also become the chancellor of McMaster University in Hamilton. In total, $150,000 in prizes will be awarded. According to the Ontario Arts Council, a 2016 Census revealed the median income of a professional artist in the province is $23,454. “It’s a troubling fact that the value of each Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prize is more than the aver-
age artist in Ontario earns per year,” says Sandy Houston, President and CEO, Metcalf Foundation. “The goal of the Metcalf Prizes is to celebrate, elevate, and recognize performing artists in Ontario, and in part, alleviate some of the financial pressure that artists face, while supporting them in their careers.” The Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prizes are named in honour of Johanna Metcalf, who was at the centre of the Foundation’s work for over forty years. These legacy prizes serve to honour artists in Ontario who have made an impact and show great dedication in the ongoing pursuit of their ambitious and visionary practices. The winners include artists in the disciplines of dance, theatre, and music/ opera, and have been producing and showing work for at least ten years. The prizes are meritorious and unrestricted.
The Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prizes/ Les Prix Johanna-Metcalf des Arts de la scène will be delivered on a biennial basis in partnership with the Ontario Arts Council (OAC). The nominees were selected through several juried OAC competitions in dance, music/opera, and theatre, with additional focus on creators from the Francophone, Indigenous, and Northern communities. Established in 1960, The George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation invests in three principal areas of focus: the performing arts, the environment, and poverty reduction. Through all of its work, the Foundation cultivates, supports, and celebrates those working on the frontlines of social change in order to improve the health and vibrancy of our communities, our culture, and the environment.
As an exemplary, multi-disciniplary artist, Santee Smith is being recognized for her influence in the arts in more than one way. PHOTO SUBMITTED.
'Anne with an E' cancelled after three seasons on CBC/Netflix By Victoria Ahearn, The Canadian Press TORONTO - The CBC/ Netflix drama series ``Anne with an E'' has been cancelled. Creator and show-runner Moira Walley-Beckett says in an Instagram post that they've ``reached the end of the red Green Gables road'' after three seasons. The show, which premiered in March 2017, was inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic novel ``Anne of Green Gables'' and expanded upon the book to dig into the backstory of the plucky teenage protagonist. In March of this year, the Canadian coming-ofage series found its cast for an Indigenous storyline that was set to unfold in the third season. Producers said 12-yearold Kiawenti:io Tarbell, from the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne, played Ka'kwet in the series.
TORONTO - Coming into its third season, 'Anne with an E' has been cancelled. The third season was used to depict the influence of indigenous people of the time, as the show was based upon the PHOTO SUBMITTED. original by Lucy Maud Montgomery, 'Anne of Green Gables.'
Irish-Canadian actress Amybeth McNulty starred as the Prince Edward Island orphan, who is taken in by aging siblings, played by R.H. Thomson and Geraldine James. The series was shot in P.E.I. and Ontario and was a co-production between the CBC and Netflix. Its third and final sea-
son finished airing on the CBC on Sunday and will hit Netflix on Jan. 3. ``My heart is heavy but I am so proud of this show,'' Vancouver-raised Walley-Beckett said Monday on Instagram, praising the team behind the show. ``I am grateful and humbled by this expe-
rience and I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to share this beautiful, meaningful story with all of you, my kindred spirits. I know you have loved this series as much as I have and I thank you for that forever and a day.’' In a joint statement, the CBC and Netflix
thanked Walley-Beckett, co-executive producer Miranda de Pencier, and the cast and crew ``for their incredible work in sharing Anne's story with a new generation.’' ``We hope fans of the show love this final season as much as we do, and that it brings a satisfying conclusion to Anne's journey.’' With progressive storylines and an opening theme song of the Tragically Hip's ``Ahead By a Century,'' ``Anne with an E'' opened up the Green Gables world beyond the novel while staying true to the essence of the heroine. Season 2 saw an LGBTQ storyline and the introduction of the show's first black character, while season 3 had an Indigenous focus. ``It's always been a concern to me that L.M. Montgomery's world of Avonlea is such a white world when in fact it doesn't really accurately
reflect the diversity that Canada was and is,'' Walley-Beckett, a three-time Emmy Award winner whose other credits include ``Breaking Bad,'' said in a September 2019 interview. ``So my master plan from the beginning when I first conceived this series was to find a way to genuinely and legitimately reflect the diversity of the nation.’' At the Canadian Screen Awards in April, ``Anne with an E'' won seven trophies, including best drama series and an acting nod for McNulty. ``There's no sense in reinventing a classic novel if you're not going to make it relevant for today's audience,'' de Pencier said in an interview in February. ``So it was really important for us to find themes that matter for Canadians.''

Cultural Legacies in Hamilton By TRT Staff
HAMILTON – On December 6th, the Hamilton Arts Council, in Partnership with Hamilton Public Library and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, will launch the Building Cultural Legacies exhibition and digital storytelling project aimed to build knowledge, spark creativity and deepen connection by engaging citizens from diverse communities and generations in the sharing of stories about the history of visual arts in Hamilton between 1950 and 2000. An official unveiling will kick off the exhibit. “This is an important project. The fantastic stories that we will be gathering and sharing within Building Cultural Legacies are incredibly powerful in connecting us to who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.” Christopher McLeod, Project Director, Building Cultural Legacies Building Cultural Legacies has been long in the making and presents not only a survey of Hamiltonian artists and art institutions, but their personal anecdotes and
perspectives, featuring community contributions from diverse writers, researchers and archives. As the visual art world in Hamilton continued to branch with new growth at an increasing speed, Hamilton Artists Inc. co-founder Bryce Kanbara and friends felt the push to begin comprehensively collecting the stories of the near-past that had played out on the same landscape that they currently worked. “We began contacting artists, visiting their homes, finding out that their whole lives had been centred around art. As soon as we stepped into the doorway, we could see that there were paintings lining the walls, lining the floors and they had scrapbooks full of information that were really valuable to us,” said Kanbara Building Cultural Legacies creates a space for artists, educators, researchers, students, connoisseurs and everyone in-between to easily access and actively contribute to Hamilton’s rich visual arts history. The stories told here are shaped by many voices,
an essential element in order to provide a picture as intricate and layered as the people of Hamilton are. The current vibrancy of the city owes much to the efforts of those who came before us, many of whom still work and live in the area. Generously supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, further support of this project has been provided by Centre 3, City of Hamilton, Hamilton Artists Inc., Hamilton Arts & Letters, Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts, McMaster Museum of Art, Workers Arts & Heritage Centre and You Me Gallery. The exhibit will run from November 23, 2019 - May 18, 2020 at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. Featuring works by local artists Jim Chambers, Roger Ferreira, Conrad Furey, Cees & Annerie van Gemerden, Catherine Gibbon, Hortense Gordon, V. Jane Gordon, Elizabeth Holbrook, Donna Ibing, Bryce Kanbara, Peter Karuna, P. Mansaram and George Wallace, along with archival materials from Hamilton's art history.

Importance of Winter Washing With the snow and ice comes the salt, sand, and other materials used to keep the presents of winter off of our roads. While these materials are good for keeping the street clean, they are very bad for the health of our vehicles. Salt is extremely corrosive, and causes rust on the body, exhaust system, and more, which compromises the integrity of the vehicle.

Closing of Beyond Standing Rock STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SANTA FE, N.M.. — The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture (MIAC) will be closing its highly regarded exhibition, Beyond Standing Rock, as announced on November 22. The exhibit examined artistic expressions to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and provides a timely look – given the battle at Chaco Canyon – at similar encroachments and violations of Native American sovereignty, many of which have impacted Native health and sacred lands. There will be a dynamic panel of guest speakers comprised of Brian Vallo (Acoma Pueblo Governor), Arden Kucate (Zuni Pueblo Tribal Councilman and culture expert), and Mark Mitchell (former Governor and co-chair of the All Pueblo Council of Governors' Natural Resources Committee). The panel will take place on Sunday, December 1, 2019 at 1 p.m. at MIAC. Admission to MIAC is FREE for New Mexico residents as part of the first Sundays of the month. “The protection of Waphr’ba’shuka, or Chaco Canyon, has been a continuous, dedicated, and collaborative effort by Pueblo Tribes, the Hopi Tribe, and Navajo Nation," said Acoma Pueblo Governor Brian Vallo. "The support and commitment of our New Mexico Congressional delegates have elevated this effort through the creation of legislation that

is necessary to ensure the long-term protection and stewardship of this valuable and threatened cultural landscape.” Chaco Canyon contains the most sweeping collection of ancestral ruins north of Mexico and preserves one of the most important pre-Columbian cultural and historical areas of the United States. It has been under threat for years as a possible site of resource extraction, a movement that has built momentum in the past few years. “For at least a decade, drilling and extraction have threatened the sacred ancestral homelands of the greater Chaco
region, putting this treasured landscape at risk of desecration,” said U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM). Lujan was the bill’s main sponsor in protecting the area from fracking and drilling for natural resources. His bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives. A reception at MIAC will take place after the panel discussion at 2 p.m. This program is made possible with the generous support of The Hutson Wiley Echevarria Foundation, The Native American Advised Fund, and the Santa Fe Community Foundation.

The resilience of northern communities continued from 7 greatly across the country, Canada's focus on creating policy to help communities adapt to climate change includes ``the development of more stringent building standards for areas where heavier snowfall is expected, or limiting development in coastal areas where sea level is projected to rise.’' The current Canadian policy framework does not differentiate between northern and southern regions. Strategies to address climate change in southern Canada benefit from institutionalization and access to infrastructure. Conversely, strategies in northern Canada benefit from Indigenous knowledge and traditional social structure. The social capital scores collected by the Canadian government are usually visualized as a scale but it does not include the nuances of the northern regions. On the scale, the Maritime and Western provinces score higher than inland provinces. Quebec has the

lowest score in Canada. The differences in climate policies across Canada might be due to the regional environmental challenges, but they are also altered by the different geopolitical, social, cultural and historical contexts, which affect social capital. Small communities in the North tend to have strong social capital, which can be seen when neighbours cut wood for elders or hunters bring meat for single mothers. Indigenous holistic approaches highlight the importance of the connection with the land, which impacts hunting methods and includes knowledge of medicinal plants. Community sharing is another component that increases community resilience. Food sharing circles are traditional kinship-based food networks to reduce food insecurity. One study shows how traditional social structures have deeply embedded food redistribution proce-
dures that have adapted through history. Such redistribution of resources is not found among most southern communities in Canada. Canada's actions for climate changes neither mentions food security nor resource redistribution. Also, although the World Bank and the World Health Organization have developed a set of tools to assess social capital to increase the level of participation of everyday citizens, Canada has yet to adopt social capital in its approach to climate change adaptation. At best, Canada's climate framework recognizes the North is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. But Canada should learn from the experiences of northern communities and integrate social capital in its policy framework. While the North might be the most affected by climate changes, its resilience might also be the highest.

Six Nations Peewee LL1 forward Aubri John scores highlight goal NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — An excited Six Nations Peewee LL#1 forward Aubri John admitted to feeling relief. During first period action John entertained the Gaylord Powless arena faithful when on Saturday, November 23rd, he powered his way through the defence before unleashing a bullet wrist shot which found net in what was an eventual 3-2 loss against the Paris Wolf pack 1. “I was just happy. The last few games I had no goals,” John said. “It (shot) was supposed to go top corner.” Though the loss extends Six Nations streak to four straight games, John was encouraged by how his team played. “We did better chasing pucks and we had more shots this game,” he said.

tin proved clutch as he made some early big saves before Paris finally broke through with consecutive goals in taking a 2-0 lead. “They (Paris) did pretty good but we could have beaten them,” John said. Showing they didn’t know the meaning to quit, Six Nations’ offence with under two minutes remaining managed to tie things up with consecu-
that he scored three in a row.” Oshie also went on to add, “That’s what we were trying to do—get him three in a row. He got her done. He’s got some skills out there. I was impressed.” After the skate, which came after watching a Capitals practice, Witmoyer got the chance on Saturday to get up and close with his idol. Along with talking and creating memories with Oshie on the ride to Capital One Arena, this teenager was also introduced along with five other Make A Wish individuals and Oshie as part of Saturday’s Hockey Fights Cancer game starting line-up. “Just getting a fist pump from (Oshie) was enough, but being able to talk to him, and see what he’s like, it’s just an insane experience. It’s surreal. I never thought I would have this opportunity.” Witmoyer, who in 2016 had an operation for a brain tumour admitted that he became an Oshie fan during the 2014 Sochi Olympics when Oshie scored clutch shootout goals to propel Team USA to a 3-2 quarterfinals win against the Russians.

WASHINGTON — There is no debating that Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie is a passionate caring role model. Showing his true compassion towards the fans, Oshie recently thrilled 18 year-old Brock Witmoyer who has been battling cancer since 2016 and always wanted to meet Oshie, who is his idol. Through Make-A-Wish Mid Atlantic Witmoyer got the thrill of a lifetime when on Friday, November 22nd this high school hockey player embarked on what would be two action packed thrilling days he would surely never forget. Starting on that Friday, Wilmoyer got to put on a lavender number 21 (Oshie’s number) Make a Wish hockey jersey and skate on the MedStar Capitals Iceplex while socializing with Oshie and the other Caps. “Brock was using my curve. I have a pretty big curve,” Oshie said. “So I was just telling him to just keep it on the heel. That was pretty much it. Once I did
ended up scoring the eventual winner with under four minutes remaining in regulation. “I enjoy playing with my teammates and friends. I like playing all sports,” John said. Having fun, and developing skills is what Six Nations minor hockey is all about.

Assumption Sr. Lions CWOSSA champions NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
GUELPH—These are glory times for the Assumption Sr. Lions who recently celebrated a CWOSSA championship. In what has been a historic football season to remember Assumption, who are ranked 34th in Canada, got a huge performance from Trevor Mcdonald who on Tuesday, November 26th at University of Guelph’s Alumni Stadium had a three -touchdown performance in what was a 35-17 championship win against St. David Catholic Secondary School. “What we did that led us to victory was preparation every day and giving 100% in practice,” Mcdonald said. “It felt good to know Assumption represents CWOSSA. It feels good to know that we’re back on top. It was an exciting feeling because it was my first time winning.”

Assumption, after defeating B.C.I. (Brantford Collegiate Institute) in becoming the senior football Brant County champs continued their impressive run by pulling off a CWOSSA quarter finals win against J.F. Ross before following it up with a dramatic come from behind semi-final victory against the three time CWOSSA winners Jacob Hespeler followed by their emotional championship win. The next step for As-
sumption is the ultimate prize which is OFSAA which will be taking place on Tuesday, November 26th at McMaster University’s Ron Joyce Stadium against Nelson High School with kickoff slated for 1 p.m. “I knew from the opening kick off it was going to be a good game,” Lions Ethan Jamieson said. “Trevor taking the opening kickoff to the house. Also we didn’t play our best game of the year. We were a bit undisciplined
for a bit and once we start playing the way we were all season, that’s when we started taking over the game.” Jamieson went on to add, “I thought (beginning of the year) we were going to win CWOSSA and we worked hard all camp and all year and this was the goal from day one was to bring back the CWOSSA championship back to the school.” Now the objective is to include an OFSAA to their accomplishments.
Johns furiously exchanged offensive opportunities as they were tied 2-2, before St. Johns went on a roll. Finding their shooting range St. Johns grabbed momentum as they sunk 10 of the next 15 baskets in surging out to a 12-7 lead. Refusing to slow down, St. Johns sunk two more consecutive baskets before Assumption got hot and posted five consecutive points which cut their defi-
cit halfway through the first quarter to 16-13. Staging that late quarter push, Assumption managed to make it a two -point game at 22-20, but couldn’t quite comeback all the way back as they trailed 31-26 headed to the second. “Daelon is in my basketball course,” Assumption Jr. coach Steve Petrella said. “He’s an athletic kid. He works hard and he’s gotten that much better.” Turning
his attention to Thomas, the coach stated, “Kaleb hurt his ankle this morning. He is very athletic and also a hard worker. He just has to work on confidence on the court.” Unfortunately for the home fans, there was no second half comeback for Assumption as they battled fell short in what was a day of high caliber junior boys’ basketball.

Competing on Friday, November 22nd at the Assumption school gym, Thomas helped his team go 2-2 in four pre-season exhibition games which showcased some great ball skills and athleticism. “It’s a fun sport to play and I like playing with my friends,” Thomas said. In regards to once again putting on the Assumption uniform and preparing for what will be his second-high school junior boys basketball season he stated, “It (exhibition games) was exciting. It’s always fun to play again after not playing for awhile.” Meanwhile there were a lot of positives shown by this junior squad who entertained their home crowd to wins against Holy Trinity

and Ancaster High before dropping two including a 65-45 defeat in their final game against St. Johns. “We took some good shots. Hustled for a bit then we lost it,” Thomas said about that final game. Thomas, who is all business on the court went on to add, “They (St. Johns) made better passes, made their shots and hustled more.” Making his high school junior basketball debut was another talented Six Nations athlete in Grade 9 player Daelon Smith who used the word ‘intense’ to describe the four exhibition
games. In terms of his strengths Smith replied, “shooting, passing and decision making.” Smith, who showed tremendous speed and had some great chances believes that his team had great “ball movement” and “talked” which served as their strengths. When asked if he was nervous or excited before making his high school basketball debut, he paused before replying, “a bit of both.” Shortly after opening tipoff both Assumption and St.

OHSWEKEN—Despite what the scoreboard read, there was no quit in the Six Nations Midget LL squad. Two days after coming up short by a 5-3 score against the Waterford Wildcats 1, Six Nations was at it again as they dropped an 11-2 decision on Saturday, November 23rd at the Gaylord Powless arena against the Paris Wolf Pack 1. “The guys didn’t quit,” Six Nations coach Russ Hill said. “We have to play more smart on defence and stay calm and patient.” A week after registering a 5-3 home win against the Waterford Wildcats 1, Six Nations took to the G.P.A. ice where late in the first period they found themselves trailing by a 4-0 score. “We need to work on positioning in our own

Six Nations had some early second period power play opportunities and had chances but weren’t rewarded. The definite back breaker came with approximately two minutes left in the second when Paris scored a shorthanded marker as the would go on to take a 7-1 lead after two periods of play. “We just need to focus on next game and do better,” White said. Trailing late in the third, Six Nations kept on working and shortly after White and Wesley Longboat just missed, they cashed in. With time running out

Also thank you to the staff at Tim Hortons for singing to John on his actual birthday, coming over to have your picture taken with him and for the generous gift certificate. Last and not least a Big Thank You to the many friends and family for the gifts, gift certificates and beautiful cards you showered on John. He was amazed at the amount of people who came out to honor him and give him their best wishes. It was a day he will not forget. Once again, a heartfelt thank you and may the Good Lord Bless you as you were a blessing to John. If we have forgotten anyone please forgive us. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Gratefully and Lovingly, John and Margaret
