Member says SN Matrimonial Law “needs to be reviewed and changed” CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Jesse Maracle, son of the late Wray Maracle and sibling to Ryan Maracle, presented a petition to the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council with 1000 signatures regarding his family homestead last Tuesday.

With his late fathers wife named the executor of the will, Maracle explained that she was to sell the homestead at a fair price to Maracle and his brother, as the wife is non-native.

The brothers grew up in the home and following the will, the two were to have the first opportunity to purchase the house.

However, the wife believed the price of the house to be $3-$400,000 before her husbands passing. This, Maracle said, is over $100,000 more than the real value of the house. She later posted the house for sale on Kijiji at $234,900, refusing Maracles offer and going against the will.

Jesse Maracle presented a petition of 1000 signatures regarding his family homestead in Ohsweken last Tuesday evening. His situation has brought him to request change in the SN MRP Law. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN.

“She changed all of the locks on us after my dad passed,” said Maracle.

“She was living there until September — she had six months after he passed,” he said, explaining that the six-month rule follows the Matrimonial Real Property (MRP) Law, but contradicts the residency law.

Maracle presented three other points to the SNGR including that non-native individuals should have no rights to land or properties on reserve, that the Six Nations Matrimonial Law needs to be reviewed and changed, and that Six Nations residents should

be able to take control over their estates from Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC).

This, he believes, will help to nullify the situation he found himself in and keep it from happening to another Six Nations band member. He then asked for a support letter from SNGR to allow he and his brother to reside at the property.

“We’re focused on keeping the homestead, that’s how our people are and that’s how we’ve always been,” he said. “We try to put our children first, they’re the future.”

He detailed that the

house was purchased in 1989, making it a part of the Maracle family for 30 years. Maracle said that his grandparents paid off the house in 2004, the same year the wife chose to move in with her son, which made the wife exempt of any contributing payments to the house.

In 2018, Quebec Superior Court tried to strike down a part of a “controversial” membership law in Kahnawake, Que.. The policy, with the backing of the Kahnawa:ke community for over 40 years, requires residents of the Mohawk reserve to move away if they marry a non-native person, as well as suspending their other membership entitlements.

Although Maracle doesn’t want SNGR to make a decision as rash as the ‘marry out, get out’ policy adopted by Kahnawa:ke, he does believe that changes must be made to be fair and to reflect the realities of the families in Six Nations.

“I agree with that kind of mentality because it saves a lot of headaches,” he said,

saying that the revision should ‘put the people first.’ “I’m even willing to settle with [the wife] still, but also to make sure that in the future this does not happen to anybody else,” he said.

Chief Mark Hill explained that he agreed with the need to revise the MRP law, but explained that it was put in place to disallow federal law to supersede. He also added his concerns in the councils influence over legal matters, which should be proceeded with due caution as the situation is personal.

“I do realize also that the MRP Law needs to be reviewed, to me that’s a no brainer,” said Hill, explaining that changing the law to be accepted by Ottawa would still be a full process in itself.

“It’s no different than when we try to go though a process which Ottawa lays out for us to do and when we go through that process, they find a way to say that we, for some reason, haven’t followed the process. That’s just another tactic that the government

continues to play on us.”

“In terms of the support letter that you asked for, I think that we need to be very cautious at this point to get involved in any personal matters,” he said.

Councillor Hellen Miller explained that the current MRP law was put in place to help keep children of both native and non-native parents on reserve, but since there are no children involved, she explained that this particular situation has an executor that isn’t meeting the standards of the will.

“She doesn’t have ownership of the land,” said Miller. “She has to sell it within a year and if there’s conditions in the will, she’s supposed to meet those conditions. And the conditions of the will are that she’s supposed to offer the house to the [Maracle brothers]. That’s the part she’s not doing.”

After clarification, councillors voiced interest in offering the proposed letter to Maracle.

“It comes down to ‘what are we going to stand by in our community?’ We talk about residency and we talk about jurisdiction, this is one of those pieces.

So if we are going to make sure that it doesn’t happen again in the future, then I think there’s something that we should do and that we should play a part in that,” said Councillor Wendelyn Johnson.

SN Matrimonial Law change Johnson and Councillor Michelle Bomberry later put forth a motion to grant Maracle a letter that will clarify jurisdiction within the community, to ultimately provide him with some reassurance in residing at the property.

The motion was carried.

Maracle said that in a movement of 50 people, the community came together at the property last year to change the locks to give the residence back to the Maracle family.

He believes that having the letter from SNGR will help in the process of allowing his fathers wishes to be followed.

“I’m just glad they’re giving me a letter,” he said, saying that he understood the reason that council voiced a need for caution.

“I was expecting the worst because of the legal part.

But to me, they should be standing beside us, fighting with us to protect our people. Our future.”

Currently, Maracle explained that the MRP Law on Six Nations isn’t recognized by the government because certain steps weren’t taken when

making the law, such as having a 25 per cent vote to approve it. Thus, he said, INAC still uses federal law.

In regards to the SNGR, Maracle said that; “if it’s the right thing to do like standing up for your people in situations like this, then they should do what they can and not, not do it because they might get sued.”

According to the Government of Canada website following the federal law would mean

that a “surviving spouse or partner has an automatic right to occupy the family home for 180 days after the death of their spouse or common-law partner, regardless of whether or not they have an interest or right to the home.”

“The provisional federal rules do not allow non-Indians or non-members to permanently gain possession of reserve lands.

Non-member spouses or partners are entitled to a portion of the monetary

value of matrimonial structures such as houses on-reserve lands, but not the value of the land itself. If a non-member spouse has directly paid to improve matrimonial real property, a court can order that they are compensated.”

“Non-members cannot make money from the value of reserve land.

Non-members cannot sell the land or the family home or benefit from the increased value of the land.”

SIX NATIONS — On February 28, it was announced that the Chiefswood National Historic Site will be hosting a celebration of what would have been, renowned Mohawk and English poetess, E. Pauline Johnson’s 159th birthday.

Six Nations community members, along with visitors to the territory, will have a chance to take part in this educational opportunity, including a 50 minute film viewing of ‘Tekahionwake’ produced by Shelley Niro, 15 minute film viewing of ‘Moving Voice’ produced by Janet Rogers, new exhibits, guided tours and free giveaways.

“I am very excited for this event and to have the community come out to see the new exhibits and watch Tekahionwake,” Said Krysta Longboat CNHS Cultural Coordinator.

“Its important to celebrate E. Pauline Johnson’s life to ensure her literary contributions to this country are not forgotten. Pauline Johnson pushed many boundaries throughout her life was able to highlight Indigenous stories and struggles through her writing and performances and my hope is that we can showcase her life and work through this celebration event for all to see.”

The Pauline Johnson Birthday celebration will take place on Tuesday March 10, 2020 from 10:00 a.m., to 7:00 p.m., at the Chiefswood National Historic Site, 1037 Hwy 54.

Chiefswood National Historic Site offers various programming throughout their tour season from May to October including on site tours, events, curriculum based educational programs to groups, schools and visiting organizations.

DJ Shub includes local talent in new music video CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Filming for the music video of the single ‘Calling All Dancers’ to be released by Dan General, a.k.a. DJ Shub, went underway at Thru the Red Door Studios last Saturday. Dancers of smoke dance, jingle, fancy and contemporary were chosen from the Six Nations community to partake in making the production a success after a casting call made on February 21.

“This is where my parents are from and I have family here and I think it holds a big place in my heart and anytime that I can come back and do something I’ll do it.

Especially with the video that we’re shooting today; they’re all local dancers, so they’re all from around this area.”

Shub explained that the video will be in part of the first single from his album to come this year, saying that truly showing a wide array of dancers, as the title suggests, was the vision for the video.

“I just wanted to showcase the beautiful differences between each dancer,” said Shub. “It came together nice and that’s a good feeling to have. It’s almost like a family affair here. This is

my second home.”

Considered to be the Godfather of PowWowStep, DJ Shub is in the throws of continuing to be a pioneer in a growing genre of electronic music.

He began his career with nationally-acclaimed electronic music trio A Tribe Called Red, performing across North American stages with some of the biggest recording artists in today’s industry and winning a Juno Award in 2014.

In 2017, his music video for ‘Indomitable’ (featuring Northern Cree Singers) was also nominated for a Much Music Video Award, making the opportunity for Six Nations dancers a great one.

“Todays been an awesome experience and I’m really thankful for this opportunity to be a part of Dj Shub’s vision for the youth and all of the generations following,” said dancer Brittany Clause, a former Miss Indian World runner up. “It’s been an amazing experience.”

A relative of Shub also commented, saying that he “loved it,” in regards to being a part of the video crew.

“It’s always a great thing, and just like other artists, it’s always a good thing for kids to see that there’s other possibilities, opportunities in the same realm,” said traditional

singer and dancer Brian General. “And [Shub] took off with it, so there’s nothing stopping the kids that are coming up to do the same.”

General said he hopes that the music and videos will inspire youth to be unafraid of being out of the ordinary,’ and that he enjoys seeing the influences of traditional music modernized.

“Everybody’s helping one another and what better way to do it than through music,” he said.

“We gotta love music.”

DJ Shub also announced to the Two Row Times that he will be releasing a full album called War Club in the near future.

Cayuga Nation leadership dispute results in demolition STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SENECA FALLS — The Cayuga Indian Nation is the latest New York nation to be upset by factionalism.

The Seneca County Board of Supervisors is calling on U.S. Attorney, James Kennedy to launch an investigation into the actions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

On February 23, dozens of demonstrators protested along Route 89 in Seneca Falls after multiple buildings used by members of the Traditional Cayuga Nation were destroyed over that weekend.

The traditionalists say that an ice cream shop, gas station and operating day care were destroyed under the leadership of Clint Halftown.

Claiming it was enforcing tribal law, the Cayuga Nation Council under the direction of Halftown had its newly created police department raid properties in Seneca Falls early Saturday morning that had been under control of a traditionalists that dispute Halftown's authority.

In the process, at least seven people were temporarily detained and one person is facing charges, but nation officials said no one was injured. In addition, the council overnight demolished

several buildings in the area — including a convenience store, day-care centre, schoolhouse and sugar shack. Since 2014, those properties had been under control of a group of nation members or supporters that have referred to themselves as the nation's tradition government.

The Traditional Cayuga Nation Chiefs and Clan Mothers, that controlled the buildings since 2014, called Saturday’s destruction of the buildings “viciously unlawful," in a statement from their counsel, Joe Heath.

Four months ago, Halftown’s council filed a suit in state court to force the traditionalists off of nation-owned businesses in Seneca Falls. However, the state Court of Appeals declined in late October to force them off of the disputed properties, ruling the court does not have jurisdiction to settle the property dispute. Halftown’s council later seized the properties it had a sued to control.

Halftown himself would not not respond to calls from media but did release a statement admitting to the demolishing.

Following the protest in February, the Seneca County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting calling on Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand to deploy U.S. Marshals to

the area, to protect against potential violence.

The Board is also requesting Rep. Tom Reed to withhold $287,000 in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding until after the investigation.

In response to the surprise, dead-of-night show of power, several Cayuga families who oppose Halftown have sent their children out of town, fearing the bulldozers will come for their homes next.

Seneca Falls, best known as the birth place of the women’s rights movement, the divide between the Cayugas widened in the early 2000s amid disagreement over Halftown’s push to build a resort casino in the Catskill Mountains.

A press conference held near where the Cayuga Nation Council seized and demolished property last week turned violent and resulted in three arrests, according to the council.

The press conference, which Seneca Falls police say was intended to be peaceful, was held by the Cayuga Nation Chiefs of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy on Route 89, next to the property seized by the council.

Three men were arrested for various reasons, all were against the Cayuga Nation Police.

THREE GRAND RIVER CROSSINGS MUNICIPAL CLASS EA NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The Study

The City of Brantford has initiated a Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for three bridges over the Grand River, including the Lorne Bridge, Brant’s Crossing Bridge and the TH&B Railway River Crossing.

The study encompasses an area approximately 175 metres wide starting 200 metres north of Lorne Bridge to 200 metres south of the TH&B Railway River Crossing along the Grand River. Lorne Bridge currently carries traffic on Colborne Street West across the Grand River with a 30 tonne load limit in the winter. Brant’s Crossing Bridge was closed in February 2018 following a flooding and ice jam event; the bridge formerly carried pedestrian and cyclist traffic over the Grand River and would require structural repairs in order to be re-opened.

The TH&B Railway River Crossing currently carries pedestrian and cyclist traffic over the Grand River and has been identified as requiring structural repairs to maintain the existing crossing.

The study is intended to identify the short and long-term plans for the three Grand River Bridges. The study will include determining the feasibility of removing the winter load limit on Lorne Bridge and the need for one or both of the TH&B River Crossing and Brant’s Crossing Bridges based on an assessment of the technical, social and environmental factors, including impacts to the active transportation network and the risks of future flooding events of the Grand River.

The Process The Environmental Assessment will be conducted as a Schedule ‘B’ Project in accordance with the “Municipal Class Environmental Assessment” (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007,2011, and 2015) which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA process includes public and agency consultation, an evaluation of

alternatives, an assessment of potential environmental effects of the proposed work and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any potential adverse impacts.

We Want to Hear from You!

The City is requesting public input and comments regarding the Three Grand River Crossings Municipal Class EA. Public comments will be taken into consideration throughout the decision-making process. Two (2) Public Information Center meetings will be held to provide information and receive feedback from the public.

This notice is also available on the City’s website where future project updates will also be posted. If you wish to submit comments or would like to be added to the project mailing list, please contact:

Senator apologizes for racist letters, says she'll obey ethics report CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — Sen. Lynn Beyak sought to stave off suspension from the upper chamber Tuesday, pledging to do more to make amends for the harm she caused by posting offensive letters online. ``I would like to unreservedly apologize for my actions,'' she told the Senate. ``After deep and careful reflection, I have come to the view that the posting of offensive and hurtful letters to a Senate public website was wrong and ill-considered and my insistence on leaving them up was also wrong.''

The letters were sent to Beyak, a senator from Ontario, in support of her defence of the residential school system. While the Truth and Reconciliation Commission concluded the system caused horrific abuse and alienation for generations of First Nations, Metis and Inuit children, Beyak has suggested there were benefits to the program that have been overshadowed.

The letters she received and published online echoed her views but some also went further, including suggestions that Indigenous Peoples and their cultures were inferior.

As controversy grew, Beyak defended the decision to make and keep the letters public. She said they weren't racist and removing them would be an affront to free speech.

She said Tuesday she now believes she was in the wrong. ``They were disrespectful, divisive and unacceptable,'' she said of the letters. ``While my intent was never to hurt anyone, I see now that my actions did not have their desired effect, which was to promote open and constructive dialogue.

Regretfully, my actions were unhelpful to the national conversation on this issue.''

Her refusal to take the letters down got her kicked out of the Conservative caucus and eventually, temporarily suspended from the Senate. To end her suspension, she was to fully apologize and complete education programs on racism towards Indigenous Peoples. But her suspension automatically ended when Parliament dissolved for the 2019 federal election.

Beyak had said in November she felt she fulfilled the requirements. But last month, the Senate ethics committee concluded she'd not gone far enough. The committee said the apology she offered at the time was insufficient and she did not fully finish the education program.

Court of appeal orders new trial for man accused of killing Jonathan Styres STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeal quashed the acquittal of Peter Khill in the shooting death of Jonathan Styres and has ordered a new trial.

The appeals court found the trial judge was wrong in how he instructed the jury that acquitted Peter Khill, of Binbrook,

Jon Styres.

Ont. Khill had argued he was acting in self-defence when he fatally shot Jon Styres in the early hours

of Feb. 4, 2016. ``The trial judge failed to instruct the jury to consider Mr. Khill's conduct

during the incident leading up to the shooting of Mr. Styres when assessing the reasonableness of that shooting,'' Justice David Doherty wrote for the court.

Six Nations of the Grand River Chief Mark Hill and Styres’ widow Lindsay Hill held a press conference in Ohsweken Wednesday afternoon following the ruling being made public.

“We commend the Ontario Court of Appeal for today’s decision order-

ing a new trial for Peter Khill, who killed Jonathan Styres, a young Haudenosaunee man and Six Nations of the Grand River member,” said Chief Hill.

“Today is an important first step on the road to justice for Mr. Styres, his family, and his community.

Indigenous peoples’ faith that the justice system was eroded by last year’s not-guilty verdict. Knowing that the justice system recognizes that it did not achieve justice for Mr.

Styres is an indicator that we are on the right path.”

Lindsay Hill, who shares two daughters with Styres said, ``When I heard the decision it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me,'' Lindsay Hill said. ``(But) this is not justice, but rather a step towards getting the justice we all deserve.''

Khill had argued at trial that his four years of training as an army re-

Court orders new trial for man accused of killing Jonathan Styres continued servist had kicked in when he instinctively grabbed a loaded Remington shotgun in his bedroom and went barefoot outside into the frigid darkness wearing a T-shirt and boxers to confront Styres.

Within seconds of spotting Styres leaning into his 15-year-old pickup truck, Khill yelled ``hands up'' and opened fire twice from just a few metres away, hitting him squarely in the chest. Styres, 29, who had no gun but may have had a screwdriver,

$$

died almost immediately.

Only then did Khill's girlfriend call 911 to the semi-rural property on the edge of Hamilton.

Khill, who was 26 at the time of the shooting, testified in his own defence that he had no choice but to open fire on Styres, a father of two from Ohsweken, Ont., on the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve, about 30 minutes away. ``It was a real-life threat assessment,'' Khill testified. ``I felt that I was

being threatened and I felt that I was not in control of the situation.

Under the laws of self-defence, a person can use reasonable force to alleviate a threat to themselves or others. But the prosecution argued that Superior Court Justice Stephen Glithero failed to instruct the jury properly about the role Khill played in bringing about the confrontation, not just what he was thinking at the moment he opened fire. ``Mr. Khill's role in the

incident leading up to the shooting was potentially a significant factor in the assessment of the reasonableness of the shooting,'' the Appeal Court said. ``The failure to explain that relevance and to instruct the jury on the need to consider Mr. Khill's conduct throughout the incident in assessing the reasonableness of the shooting left the jury unequipped to grapple with what may have been a crucial question in the evaluation of the reason-

ableness of Mr. Khill's act.''

While the prosecution didn't raise any objections when Glithero charged the jury, the Appeal Court said Glithero's error had a material bearing on the June 2018 verdict. This error alone, the court said, warranted setting aside the acquittal.

The court rejected other prosecution arguments, including one that the jury should not have been allowed to consider Khill's military training, or that Glithero didn't properly

explain the legal parameters of self-defence.

Khill still faces an ongoing civil lawsuit in which Styres' relatives are seeking more than $2 million in damages. Their lawyer, Rob Hooper, said Khill has refused to be examined until the criminal case is resolved. ``We will continue to fight this injustice and fight for fair trials for Indigenous people in Canada,'' Hooper said.

Six Nations Snipers extend winning streak to five games NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN--- Life is good for the Six Nations Snipers who just keep on winning.

Anchored by a sixpoint performance from Marshall Powless the surging Snipers on Sunday, March 1 entertained the I.L.A. faithful by recording a 16-10 win against the St. Catharines Shockwave which extended their winning streak to five.

“Our guys are happy and having fun,” Snipers coach Darcy Powless said.

“They’ve (players) had pretty good spirits all season. Once we got a few wins you could feel the team and us coaches just take a deep breath and relax a little. We knew what kind of team we built it was just a matter of time

Fans at the I.L.A. were treated to a close intense weekend battle between the Six Nations Snipers and St. Catharines Shockwave. The Snipers offence erupted for 10 second half goals as they went on PHOTO BY NEIL BECKER to record another victory.

before things started to come together.”

It has been quite the turnaround for Six Nations who after starting the ALL season with six straight losses, have gotten on a role which currently has them battling the Peterborough Timbermen for third in the overall standings.

“Our win streak has been put together just on the fact we’re finally meshing together and finding ways to win,” Snipers Danton Miller said. “I like that we’ve finally got a set lineup going forward. It’s tough trying to get wins playing with a different group of guys and we finally have our team and are finally getting some chemistry flowing on defence and offensively.”

After surrendering two early goals, Six Nations bounced back with consecutive goals from Alec Tamas and Justin Martin to make it a brand- new game at 2-2. With a little over two minutes remaining in the first, Marshall Powless scored his first of three but the Snipers found themselves trailing by a 4-3 score headed to the second.

“As any team there is always room for improvement,” Coach Powless said. “One spot would be our power play, which makes a big difference in a close game. But overall, we’ve been improving every week.”

Showing strong character, the Snipers would come from behind three times in the second

starting with Tye Argent who scored an early goal which once again made it a brand- new game at 4-4.

After the Shockwave retook the lead, it only took 19 seconds before Danton Miller got the I.L.A. crowd in a frenzy following his tying goal.

Argent, who had a four- point game, scored his second which evened things up at 6-6 heading into the second half.

When asked what in his opinion was the game’s turning point coach Powless stated, “It was in the third quarter. We got on a little goal run and they began to get undisciplined. And we were able to keep our heads and make then pay for it on the scoreboard instead of retaliating.”

The Snipers in second half play would end up

outscoring St. Catharines by a 10-4 count which obviously proved to be the eventual turning point.

After the Shockwave scored to lead 7-6, Six Nations offence caught fire as they scored four straight goals from Jordan Goddard, Marshall Powless, Tamas and Martin with their second as they held an eventual 10-8 lead heading to the fourth.

Not slowing down, Six Nations finished strong with six fourth period goals including five straight from Sid Powless, Vern Hill, Wes Whitlow, Goddard with his second and Jamie Downie for a healthy 15-8 advantage.

The Snipers would get one more goal from Marshall Powless completing the hattrick in what was another Snipers win.

Six Nations Pee Wee Reps facing elimination NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN— It’s now win or go home for the Six Nations Pee Wee Reps.

Coming off an emotional OMHA quarter finals game 5 overtime victory against the Delhi Rockets, Six Nations was looking to build on that momentum but now find themselves facing elimination against the East Lambton Eagles.

Playing in what is once again a best of five series, Six Nations kicked things off on Saturday, February 29th, at the Gaylord Powless Arena where they dropped an 8-4 decision followed approximately 24 hours later by a 6-5 Game 2 road loss.

“We stopped skating after the first period,” Six Nations coach Dennis MacDonald said about the series opening 8-4 loss.

“They’re (East Lambton) a good team with a couple

of really skilled players.

They play a really good team game.”

During the series opener, Six Nations had some quality first period opportunities but finding themselves down 3-0, didn’t strike until early in the second when speedster Chaz Hill scored from the slot. That momentum proved to be short lived as East Lambton scored eight seconds later to restore their three -goal lead.

“We let them shoot to-

day,” MacDonald said after the series opening loss.

“Maybe it was just nerves.

We have to leave it on the ice tomorrow.”

In what was a penalty filled second, East Lambton turned up the heat and scored three straight in just under a three minute span in taking control with a 7-1 late second period lead.

Showing they weren’t about to quit; Six Nations generated some late second period chances and were rewarded when with 48 seconds remaining Ryden Bomberry scored Six Nations second goal.

Early in the third East Lambton would restore that five -goal lead before Six Nations finished strong with two goals from Nolo Squire followed

by Mace Anthony who with four minutes picked the top corner for the fourth and final goal.

“We got a couple of nice goals,” MacDonald said.

“We missed some chances and hit a couple of posts.”

Now Six Nations must run the table and win three straight if they hope to stay alive in OMHA competition.

Six Nations Bantam LL fall short against Burford NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN - Six Nations Bantam LL goalie Brianna King saw some positives in her team’s weekend performance.

Looking to snap a six -game losing streak Six Nations kicked off March with a strong goaltending performance from King, but it wasn’t quite enough as they fell short by a 3-1 score at the G.P.A. against the Burford Coyotes 1.

“We played with heart,” King said. “The score was close and that gave us a boost. The idea of playing the game excites me because of the possible outcome. Anything can happen.”

King made an early statement with some key first period saves before Six Nations generated but just missed on some key scoring opportunities. With a

little over a minute remaining, Burford scored to take a 1-0 lead into the second.

“You can’t give up,” King said. “We have to do our best and that’s all you can do.”

A goaltender s duel was quickly forming as both King and the Burford goalie made several high -quality saves in what was a scoreless second period.

The goals came quickly in the third as Burford scored a huge insurance marker a little over a minute into the period before Six Nations staged a big push as Davin MacDonald and Ashton Van Every just missed on in close chances.

marker for a comfortable three goal lead.

“You can’t win from the box,” King said. “But we played hard and did our best.”

With time running down in regulation it seemed only fitting that forward Easton Thomas, who had earlier opportunities scored Six Nations lone goal.

Sault, who is a big fan of Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc Andre Fleury, has already according to her head coach Mark Stroud recorded nine regular season shutouts along with six more in tournament play.

“She’s got unlimited potential and can go as far as she wants to take it,”

Stroud said. “I believe in all my players. The sky is the limit for them all.”

Years ago, fate stepped in when Sault’s team didn’t have a goalie and she eagerly volunteered to strap on the pads. The rest as they say is history.

“I volunteered and I liked it,” Sault said. “My whole family plays hockey.”

Reflecting on that latest shutout against Flamborough Sault paused before replying, “defense,” as the main thing the team did well.

In reference to Girl’s hockey Stroud stated, “There are great schools offering some great (hockey) programs.”

‘Thunderstorms,’ Miss Six Nations publishes poetry book CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Aleria McKay, the first-ever Indigenous contestant to win a Miss Teenage Ontario title, earned the title of Miss Six Nations 2019-2020 last year.

This year, she has gone on to publish her first poetry book, “Thunderstorms,” which she announced publicly on February 20.

“I knew I liked writing when I was little,” said McKay. “But I was never really good at it and I never really looked at it as something that I could do as a career.”

McKay later entered high school where she thought her niche would be acting, but found herself writing a play. Her play “And She Split the Sky in Two”, follows a story of an indigenous girl dealing with the news of her sister's suicide.

After writing the piece, McKay’s perspective changed.

“That was a big turning point for me because I realized that not only was my writing impacting people but this was something that I could see myself doing on a long term scale.”

She explained that her poetry is something that she worked on for years from the age of 14 to 18, unknowingly creating content for the book. She said that she performed some of her poems in coffee houses and talent shows, but by her grade twelve year she knew that she wanted to culminate her work into a single spine.

“I just thought ‘I can’t add anymore to this, it’s done,’” she said.

When asked about the books title, she laughed as the concept came from an unlikely source from the summer of 2016.

“At that point in time I was obsessed with the ‘Arctic Monkeys,’ and there’s a song by them

Aleria McKay's 'Thunderstorms' is a self-published book of poetry, culminating her writing from the age of 14-18, her "formative" PHOTO FROM FACEBOOK. years.

called ‘She’s Thunderstorms,’” she said, adding that she listened to the song every morning for two months. “After, the word ‘thunderstorms’ really stuck with me throughout the whole book, because it’s all about reclaiming your voice and using your voice to speak your truth, so I connected to it.”

During her time in finalizing the book, McKay explained that the content addresses a lot of difficult and personal topics to her and the book shares a lot of what has made her, her.

“I just want to show people that I’ve made mistakes and that I’m not trying to say that I’m perfect,” said McKay. “Just because I’m Miss Six Nations doesn’t mean that I’m perfect, and I think thats what people need to see that in titleholders.”

“I’m trying to embody what I want to see in a titleholder, I want somebody who’s real and not someone that I view as unattainable.”

Rather than going through a mainstream publisher, McKay went forward by completely self-publishing. She said that this allowed her to keep the book exactly as she wanted it.

“You lose so much of your vision in the mainstream process and I wanted it to be how I wanted it,” she said. “The

cover was my idea, all of the words were my idea and all of the formatting was done by myself.”

She then went through the circles of publishing, coming out at the end with a book that truly reflects her vision for her poetry. She began with her

first publishing order of 10 copies, which she said were gone the same day the shipment arrived.

“Within that morning they were all gone, so this next batch will have 50 — and 35 are already pre-ordered,” she said.

Reminiscent of Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey, of which McKay has three copies, her poetry book can be purchased online at https://www.etsy.com/ ca/listing/766485630/ thunderstorms, or an order can be placed by reaching out to her directly.

McKay’s title platform deals with suicide awareness, knowing that suicide rates are five to seven times higher than the national average in indigenous youth. She is now a student at York University studying theatre studies, which includes playwriting and directing.

After being crowned Miss Teenage Ontario, McKay moved on to be crowned Miss Six Nations last fall.

How I got into slime culture CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

I love Karina Garcia.

She releases tons of videos to Facebook that I scroll through on the daily to pass time. She does DIY’s and slime videos really well and after watching a good handful of the slime vids, I had to try it.

As a genre of DIY’s that has swept the younger gen., it’s kind of impossible not to see the slime culture. I have little cousins that make slime all of the time because of the videos, and they have become notorious kitchen-ruiners.

But I will add that first hand, playing with slime releases so much tension and stress. At least, mine did.

So I found the easiest and least messy formula or recipe to try at home.

I got everything I needed in two stops. I went to my nearest Buck or Two and scooped up some clear glue, scented shampoo, shell beads, glitter and gold flakes. Then I went to Shoppers Drug Mart for some contact lens solution and borax detergent.

I went home and grabbed a stainless steel bowl and poured one container of glue into it. Then I added some borax and lens solution and voila, it began to form.

I honestly wanted the slime to turn out clear, but I would have had to wait for some chemical reactions and some bubbles to go away to do it, so my glob of white slime was near complete.

The funnest part wasn’t just combining for the chemical reaction of slime, but adding in the fixins. In the first glob I added gold flakes and in the second I added packs of glitter and the shell beads. Both of them were fun to moosh around and crackle and stretch.

The clean up was easy too with some vinegar. You just pour a little vinegar into the bowl and the leftovers in the bowl will peel off. In the case of dropping the slime and staining say, a carpet, pick up the leftover slime and pour vinegar onto the stain to scrub off after setting.

It was a fun way to spend half of an evening and I understand why kids dig it so much.

Founder, Wolfe Island Historical Society Peacefully, with her family by her side, Vicki Stewart passed away on Monday, March 5, 2012 at the age of 64. Daughter of the late David Macdonald Stewart and Rita McMenemy of Montreal, Vicki leaves behind her cherished family including daughters Vanessa Woods (Peter) British Columbia, and grandchildren Abby, Becky and Ginger and daughter Melani Schielie (Ron) of Florida and grandchildren Meghan and Noah. She will be missed by sisters Diana, Catherine Heiss (Joe), Elizabeth (Bev) and brother David. A sister, Roberta, predeceased her.

A tireless worker, she organized the 1985 5th North American Fur Trade conference in Montreal which, for the first time, included participation on the part of the Mohawks of Kahnawake. In 1986, Vicki became the guardian of these conferences. All natives who celebrate National Aboriginal Day owe a special thanks to Vicki.
