SIX NATIONS — The Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo Private School, one of two full Haudenosaunee immersion language schools on Six Nations, has been trying to provide their students security with a permanent school for years. Currently housed in the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, the school has been in the process of fundraising throughout the past decade.

The school has recently looked to the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council (SNGR) for support to approve their design for a new school building. But, there has been a long discussion within the SNGR. This is due to the Federal Government using the community's approval for the school as a means to fund the new building at the expense of the Six Nations land claim.

Several councillors then opposed the project because of the Federal Government’s stance, that would be leading the school to accept their terms as a lien to the entire Six Nations land claim — this fact has been

proven through letters sent to the school.

On Monday, in an online meeting, Coucillor Wendy Johnson said that her opposition “isn’t speaking against [Kawenni:io/ Gaweniyo] and not supporting it.”

“We can’t ignore issues that will hurt us down the road, she said. “We can’t look the other way and ignore it because come six months from now, say we gave you funding, but now this comes under the band and the government goes and takes away your board.”

“We need to draft a

letter back to isc. Not paying forward funds. Not accepting money against land claim. Clarify terminology of band operated school.”

With the suggestion of a letter to be sent from the SNGR, Councillor Helen Miller agreed, saying that she won’t support

the request unless the council gets clarification from the federal government.

“ISC is taking away the possibility,” said Miller. “They’re gonna get rid of your privatization and make you a band operated school.”

“I don’t think you guys understand the implications of what’s going on here. I know you need a school. I’m concerned with councils involvement, we need to understand what’s going on here. I don’t know at what point were going to sit down and do that but I think we need to.”

Elva Jamieson, a representative of the school, expressed her understanding of the situation, explaining her hopes in the ability to work together to give the students a secure environment.

Later, Council passed the BCR on Monday at the political liaison meeting to have a letter written by elected council seeking clarity from the federal government on why they are saying funding for the school would lien against the Six Nations land claim, when there are other schools in Canada on First Nations reserves that are also waiting to be built.

Cost and design plan is hoped to be released in a story next week.

dered Indigenous women and girls concluded with a 1,200-page report and 231 calls for justice.

Bennett told the Assembly of First Nations last December that the government's promised national action plan would be ready by the one-year anniversary.

Today Bennett says COVID-19 is making that

impossible.

She says the government remains committed to getting the response completed but that many of the people who were working on the front lines of the response are the same people helping provinces and Indigenous communities cope with the pandemic.

The Native Women's

Association of Canada and other advocates for the families of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls say the pandemic is worsening violence against Indigenous women and say communities cannot wait any longer.

Dangerous driving and intimidation charges STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — On Monday 18 May 2020 Police responded to a traffic complaint at the community COVID 19 checkpoint located at Highway 54 and Painter Road.

Officers determined that a couple driving a truck displaying a "Resident Pass" had been waved through the checkpoint by security. As they continued travelling eastbound, a black pickup truck passed them on a curve in the roadway.

Once in front of them,

the black truck came to an abrupt stop, nearly causing a collision. The driver of the black truck exited his vehicle and approached the couple in a loud and threatening manner. The driver was identified as Jeffery Allan Henhawk (41 years) of Ohsweken. Mr. Henhawk was recognized as one of the workers at the checkpoint.

Mr. Henhawk was arrested and faces charges of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Intimidation. He was released on an Undertaking to appear in Brantford court on July 30, 2020.

First Nations health authorities tell Commons they need access to PPE

By Teresa Wright, The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Indigenous health authorities that service Western Canadian First Nations say they are experiencing problems accessing enough medical and protective equipment needed to protect their citizens from COVID-19.

Senior representatives from regional First Nations health authorities in Saskatchewan and British Columbia told a Commons committee Friday they need more personal protective equipment. ``We have delays in accessing PPE,'' said Tara Campbell, executive director of the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority in Saskatchewan. ``On-reserve populations' PPE in Saskatchewan are distributed by the province and unfulfilled requests are then forward to the national emergency stockpile.’'

She also said medical supplies such as thermometers and testing supplies are not readily

available and that nursing capacity ``remains a critical issue.’'

Campbell noted the key role that testing played in addressing an outbreak in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche earlier this month, where extensive door-todoor and mobile testing was done to identify and stop the spread of the virus. ``By being able to test and get results sooner, we were able to isolate individuals to make sure that transmission was minimal,'' she said. ``We aren't able to do this in every community because testing supplies are limited.’'

Chief Charlene Belleau, chair of the First Nations Health Council of B.C., said access to PPE has also been a concern for First Nations across her province. ``We also recognize the limitations across the country, but we are constantly advocating for PPE not only for our health care providers but also for our people that are

providing security on the lines or at band offices,'' she told the committee.

The federal government has said it has been delivering large amounts of protective equipment to Indigenous communities to ensure they are able to protect their citizens and front line workers against the novel coronavirus.

On Friday, Indigenous Services Canada tweeted that as of May 22, it had shipped 845 orders of PPE to First Nations communities and had one order in progress.

But Conservative MP Bob Zimmer, who is the party's Northern affairs critic, says the accounts coming from First Nations chiefs and advocates at committee over the last few weeks indicate more of these critical supplies are needed in many Indigenous communities. ``It's a federal responsibility to provide PPE to the Indigenous communities and it was supposed to be established that way.

We're hearing of shortages across the board, across

Canada,'' Zimmer said Friday.

Richard Jock, interim chief executive officer of British Columbia's First Nations Health Authority, said his agency has developed a system to distribute PPE to its communities and regions to ensure there is a few weeks' supply to try to prevent critical shortages.

But supplies are low. ``I would not want to say that there's a stockpile or an accumulated surplus,'' he said.

Bellau also noted a rising dispute in B.C. about what level of government — federal, provincial or Indigenous — should pay the increased costs being incurred by First Nations that have hired security personnel to block or limit access to their communities to prevent outbreaks COVID-19. ``(Indigenous Services Canada) cannot rely on First Nations utilizing our own resource revenue as a means of protecting our communities,'' she said.

Have you heard of a syndemic? nities have long been inadequate, but the lack of access to clean water and a housing crisis persist.

What the COVID-19 pandemic makes clear is that we need an ``all people approach'' that leaves no one behind, wherein the social factors and health conditions that cluster around the most vulnerable are not ignored until they're cast to the foreground of a global pandemic.

We may be in self-isolation, but the COVID-19 pandemic is clearly not.

When two or more epidemics co-exist and compound one another to worsen health, they are said to be syndemic, or ``synergistic epidemics.’'

What is a syndemic?

The concept of syndemics arose in the 1990s to describe how substance abuse, violence and AIDS (known as the SAVA syndemic) overlapped and negatively reinforced health among inner-city populations in the United States.

The concept has been cited increasingly over the past 25 years to call attention to the way various diseases like HIV and tuberculosis, along with mental illness, diabetes and infectious diseases cluster together, particularly in disadvantaged populations.

A key feature of a syndemic is the way overlapping diseases and health conditions amplify one another biologically within the human body.

For example, a disease can weaken the immune system and promote the progression of another disease.

Interactions between overlapping diseases and other health conditions

can complicate medical treatments, lead to higher health-care costs and worsen health outcomes.

In the case of COVID-19, people with pre-existing and underlying conditions, including obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, appear to be at higher risk for complications from the disease.

But diseases don't just interact biologically, they also interact with social factors. Poverty, housing, education and social stigma, for example, are all powerful determinants of health.

Individuals with lower incomes and less education are several times more likely to develop diabetes than more socially advantaged individuals.

These same relationships play a part in other risk factors for COVID-19, like high blood pressure and obesity.

And it's precisely these interactions _ between both biological and social factors — that sets syndemics apart from other epidemic events.

By regarding COVID-19 as a syndemic and taking biological and social interactions directly into account, health practitioners could become more effective in their clinical practices and community-based interventions _ in the United States, Canada and around the world.

Tutela Heights Splash Park soon to be installed STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Eagle Place Community Association and Parks and Recreation announced last week that construction is about to begin on the new Tutela Park Splash Pad. Last July, the EPCA made the announcement that the splashed would be finalized by this summer: "The project has been designed and plans are underway for construction.

We are excited to share concept renderings of the new splash pad.

The design is inspired by the winding Grand

River that flows through the Eagle Place neighbourhood. The splash pad will include many different water features that are all fun and exciting in their own way.

Using information collected from the community, we made sure that we included as many different features as we could. Each water feature will be different in its own way and the splash pad will include a variety of ground bubblers, ground sprays, a water spray tunnel, overhead sprays and dump buckets.

This new splash pad will make for an awesome day in Tutela Park.

Construction is anticipated to begin fall of 2019 and the splash pad will be

ready for play summer of 2020.”

They wrote to Facebook that this week, the park will be buzzing with construction activity. The first steps “and the messy part” will be installing all the underground piping and digging out the walkways and the splash pad area.

Once that is done in about two weeks time, the plans are set that things will begin to take shape.

From start to finish, the Eagle Place Association anticipates that it will take approximately eight weeks.

More updates will come as construction moves along and will be provided on the City of Brantford website.

Encouraging superstitious belief has hurt us as a people JONATHAN GARLOW

jonathan@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Superstition doesn't benefit us in any way. Google defines it as, "excessively credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings."

A survey needs to be done to measure how many people on Six Nations believe in literal magic, the suspension of natural law - I would wager the percentage is very high maybe even half of us.

Perhaps it has to do with our rural setting, or maybe it is cultural conditioning but I have noticed over the years that one of our weaknesses is how susceptible we are to superstitious beliefs and sometimes I'm still shocked with our overall gullibility when it comes to certain things.

It got me wondering if our ancestors were this way as well, or if it was something learned through colonization.

There are clues leaning in both directions but there is a segment of Six Nations traditionalists who hold the view that we did not believe in a "Creator-God" before colonization. These teachers say our ancestors believed only in the natural world - the things that we could perceive and detect with our human senses. On a technical level it would be called something like Pantheism or Animism.

I was casually chatting in my laneway with Jagwedeth Sandy before his passing when he told me that the Creator isn't a male person in the sky

but is an all-encompassing energy and our ancestors practiced harmony with this life-energy and existed within it's power - Kahensteserah. He carefully explained to me over hours how pervasive Christianization was with our people and how we did not believe in things that required faith but we believed in things that were real.

Other teachers have told me that our Creation story and other legends have been subconsciously adapted over the centuries to fit with the Western worldview and this ensured our survival as a people. This information made me angry when I first heard it, and I am not sure why. Whether or not this is true we do know how our natural way of life got us tortured, persecuted and killed so maybe our ancestors did fashion a narrative that was more agreeable to our European oppressors.

Our ancestors were brilliant people.

"The Mohawks didn't just accept the Peacemaker's message they tested him first," Jagwedeth told me. Apparently when the Peacemaker brought his radical message of unity to the Six Nations people he had to survive an ordeal first and only after that were his words even listened to or accepted.

It is my assertion that Indigenous people started believing black cats were bad luck at the same time we started taking off our hats to pray.

It is noted that the Five Nations Iroquois were especially fond of silver Scottish Luckenbooth

pendants in the 18th century and it was written that it saved many of our children from the Evil-Eye. Whether or not we had Evil-Eye's to be saved from before the sale of Luckenbooth's has yet to be determined but I think we were hood-winked.

More grim was the 17th century War Against Women also known as the Salem Witch Trials.

The first to be formally executed as a witch was an Indigenous woman of the Arawak Nation named Tituba. They said we were all witches back then. There are adults on Six Nations today who say that witches are real and do exist, even accusing certain people within the community of witchcraft, just as they do in Papua New Guinea.

The trail of innocent missing and murdered Indigenous women continues over three hundred years later.

Trust me I'm the most gullible person in the world and I'd like to think that the Sasquatch is real and the aliens are out there somewhere but at this point in my life I believe that the truth is very simple. Witchcraft is in words and gossip is witchcraft. Every spell has to be cast with spelling.

The creepy paranormal experiences we all have had will soon be explained

by Dark Matter, or perhaps Quantum Theory but resorting to a boogey man seems lazy to me.

Stevie Wonder was trying to tell us something, "When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.

Superstition ain’t the way."

COLUMN: Nature has eyes QUINLYN STAATS

TWO ROW TIMES

A beautiful woman once told me that moths are messengers of the dead (more pleasantly put: of the other side, the spirit world).

I used to have, let's say, my reservations with moths. I saw them as the butterfly’s drunken evil twin. Muddy, dusty, lumpy and hairy; they were the annoying, ugly duckling that never became the swan. Yet especially, the majority of my hatred festered from a lifetime of relentless torture that scarred me, leaving me enslaved in infinite terror of them. Due to their insistent tendency to bomb dive me right between the eyes, and flutter their gross furry wings all over my forehead and eyelids, I developed a deep rooted phobia of their very (even distant) presence.

The other night I went to my brother’s for an evening (social-distanced) bonfire.

Stars, flames, bullfrogs, and family in the backwoods of 2nd Line, it was a gathering our ancestors couldn't have missed. Soon, even tucked in

front of a small 4 foot blaze, the early summer evening was growing crisp and colder. My brother sang softly with his guitar between the fire and pond as if he filled the space between flame and water. I walked to get a blanket in the pitch-black peace of Nature at night, my brother’s song echoing behind me, lost in a full euphoric distraction. One of those pure feel good, grateful moments...you know what I mean?

I reached the house and grabbed the doorknob under the glow of the porch light. Right before turning the knob, my “happy place” vanished when I noticed a familiar sound: the haunting, subtle buzz of a flock of creepy wings. I hunched and slowly lifted my head to assess the extent of the size of the swarm of monsters above me.

Staring at my feet, I reluctantly raised my eyes. Barely lifting my chin, my heart plummeted into my stomach, squeezing the air out of my lungs. Jumping back many feet like a spooked cat, I died a little inside once I got a clear view of the creature that, moments before, perched inches from

my face.

A gargantuan, hairy, prehistoric moth sat thinly, wings closed on the door.

It's tattered grey wings were the size of two dried up pig’s ears, and several legs and antennae wriggled from its lumpy baby-carrot sized body.

Stepping forward to get a closer look in a disgusted curiosity, the moth gracefully relaxed its wings to reveal a bold masterpiece of intricate beauty on their inside.

Amid two identically symmetrical designs, both wings had a crystal clear blue eye.

I looked deep into the bright eyes as they looked back at (and through) me. They seemed to say so much yet nothing at all, in a flash of a heated moment.

Guilty, I’d judged a book by its cover. However, amongst a cryptic silence I heard a message.

The message was not within the moth itself. The moth was more of a message notification: a secretary who stares you in the eyes, slaps you in the face, messes with your hair, harasses and annoys you- without mercy.

Bing!!! You have a message from Ancestor.

Message will soon expire.

FEATURE: The Warrior Spirit of the Grand River - Richard "Dick" Hill

By Jim Windle/Hazel Hill Publisher's Note: We recognize that we did not have the word "warrior" pre-contact and the closest word may be "Rotiskenrakete," but common terminology was used in this article.

SIX NATIONS — There have been very important lives in our past and the passing of years have set them apart, especially in times of trouble - from without and from within.

But what is the warrior spirit? Is it the ability for ruthlessness and ferocity in battle? Is it the natural leadership shown by example, which is respected and admired, if not feared?

The warrior spirit has been an earmark of the Mohawk Nation since long before contact. Some say the Mohawk warriors buried their weapons and ceased to exist as an important part of the Onkwehonwe society.

History does not follow that train of thought at all.

There are countless examples of Mohawks and others of the Six Nations Confederacy picking up those weapons as allies of the British Crown, and in battles with other Indigenous Nations before, during and after war.

If they forsook the directives of the “Peacemaker”, whose teachings centred around diplomacy, and did in fact go to war, is the Great Law of Peace then null and void? Of course not. Closer study shows the

Mohawk Warrior Dick Hill, in action at the Caledonia land reclamation. Even the OPP knew not to take his power for granted.

Without Hill’s leadership qualities, he quickly became the go-toguy after a peaceful protest turned ugly following a botched OPP PHOTO BY DICK HILL raid.

formation of a confederacy of independent tribes and nations was based on peace within those participating tribes never to take up arms against one another.

That has been the strength and power of the Haudenosaunee League of Nations, and its constitution, better known as the Great Law of Peace.

We begin our series dedicated to the “Warrior Spirit of the Grand River” with the life and work of Richard “Dick” Hill, who passed away June 21st, 2014 after his last fight with cancer.

Dick has been called by many older members of the Mohawk Nation of the Grand River and as possibly being the last modern Mohawk War Chief.

He wasn’t an assigned war chief like Joseph Brant, that was a title he didn’t want, like or need. But his gift as a warrior and leader were unmistakeable. Over the last number of decades especially, if Six Nations or

the Mohawk Nation at large found itself in a stand -off against colonial injustice, government land theft or destruction of the environment, Dick Hill was usually close by, watching, listening and analyzing.

But what makes a WarChief in the first place?

First, it is more of a description than a title or job.

Joseph Brant was a “War Chief” as were many others in the mid-to-late 1700’s.

Traditionally, they were the protectors of the Great Law, the women and the land.

Dick Hill was certainly that.

Recently we spoke with Dick’s wife, Hazel Hill about what sharing a life with a real Mohawk warrior was like.

“Growing up at Six Nations, everybody knew each other,” Hazel recalls.

“He was older than me and I knew the other boys that hung around together so I knew who he was.”

One day he asked Hazel if she wanted to go cruising

around Brantford in his car. She had driven on the reserve before but never in town.

"The first time I went out with Dick, just me and him, was when I was about 16,” Hazel recalls. “My parents didn’t know it because he was 13-years older than me.”

Dick was fun to be with and even let her drive his car that day.

“A city cop spotted us and Dick said, ‘quick, let’s switch,’” Hazel laughs. “By the time the cop caught up with us, Dick was driving.”

If anyone in this life knew Dick Hill, his motives, his drive, his integrity and his power, it’s Hazel. Over a very active life together she saw the good, the bad and at times, the very ugly by his side.

Dick was well schooled in his youth, not so much in academic matters, but developed his most important ally — his ability to listen. He would sit and listen to the old warriors who would come over to his parents place and talk politics and destiny. Even after being sent to bed, he’d sit on the staircase and listen longer.

He learned what it meant to be a Mohawk man from those men and warriors who came before him, and he learned his lessons well. People usually think of a warrior as someone quick into battle, fiercely aggressive and although these are elements that make up a true Warrior, that is only half of the qualifications.

“Anyone can make war,”

The late Dick Hill standing triumphantly on the sewer line he and others, primarily women, stopped the City of Brantford’s plan to run a sewer line under the Grand River. After negotiations the people of Six Nations allowed an over river pipeline instead. Hill was always there, watching and ensuring there was no action takPHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT en against the Six Nations women.

says Hazel. “It takes a real war chief to make peace.”

The land reclamation at Caledonia in 2007 was perhaps his finest hour.

Since the stand-off that made the news across Canada, tensions have relaxed considerably, but to date, the housing development that began on unceded Six Nations land was stopped and is occupied by Six Nations land protectors to this day.

“Dick lived for this kind of thing,” says Hazel. “If not for him intervening several times during the reclamation, there would have been bloodshed for sure.

Dick was able to keep the situation from exploding into all out war, but without compromise on the main issues.”

He would hear of some action being planned by the OPP against the land protectors occupying the former construction site, and warn police top brass against their plan fearing another Ipperwash death scene would result.

“And they would listen to him too,” says Hazel.

“Even the OPP said it was Dick that kept a lid on the pressure cooker.”

Not many people know about Dick’s part in defending the Stoney and Kettle Point Ojibway sacred sites after they were reclaimed by their people, which sparked the stand-off.

The government insisted there was not a burial ground in that location and

I’ve gotten into some games like Animal Crossing and at one point in time I had Nintendogs and played religiously.

But never anything like Fortnite — I think I played once and got too excited when a target came up so I couldn’t get the joy stick thingies to line up and let me shoot him, causing him to stand there calmly and shoot me in the head (laugh out loud).

But as kids, we kind of go through phases.

For me, just like Pash from ‘Whip It,’ I had a ‘fat kid, sits inside and reads a book phase.’ Then I rolled into a Pokemon phase that I kept secret by playing late into the night.

I would sneakily hide my GameBoy Advanced and Nintendo DS Lite under my pillow to play until about 5 a.m.. Then wake up for school like a zombie, only to do it again the next night.

You get the gist.

This was because I became consumed by the need to train my Pokemon to level 100, which is the cap for the levelling.

A level 100 Pokemon is considered to be ‘perfectly trained,’ and I wanted that titleship for my pokemon just because I like the way it sounds.

For this review, I got to relive that obsession.

I also played on a glitchy

So this is Zacian and Zamazenta, the twin legendary pokemon whose designs disappointed me so fiercely. The reason they were summoned was literally because some chairman wanted to solve a problem that wouldn’t happen until a thousand years into the future (the designers needed to cue PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT storyline edits).

Nintendo Switch which made it more interesting, and my thumb stronger.

So for the past week and a half, I’ve grinded Pokemon Shield and let me tell you, I actually really, really love it. I will tell you why in a second, but let me get back to levelling pokemon.

Because of this obsession of mine, I entered the Gym Challenge for Pokemon Shield with my pokemon about 25 levels higher than the gym leaders, every time. I did this because in previous versions, you couldn’t level your pokemon that high before challenging a gym leader.

For this particular game sequence as well, I tried to stick with OG pokemon from the first versions. So I got my starter, which in my honest opinion, was ugly af (it was this little lizard thing that looked slimy and icky) and I firmly believe that they could have designed better starters.

But after that, I got a Growlithe, Tyrogue, Magikarp, Electrike, Ralts

So this is Zacian and Zamazenta, the twin legendary pokemon whose designs disappointed me so fiercely. The reason they were summoned was literally because some chairman wanted to solve a problem that wouldn’t happen until a thousand years into the PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT future.

This is the team that I’ve become so proud of.

TRT

and then the only newer called Eternatus, but this do NOT think of a wolf pokemon (from Pokemon pokemon gives me flashholding a sword in its Black and White) — Axew, mouth and a wolf wearing backs to the Pearl and who is a dragon type and a shield on its chest. In my Diamond middle version, extremely cute until he head, I was thinking of the Pokemon Platinum. This evolves. This was honis because Eternatus litDiamond and Pearl Verestly the best team I’ve erally looks like Giratina’s sions as well as the Soul ever had out of all of the Silver and Heart Gold Ver- skeleton and I do not like versions of pokemon and it. In my opinion, if you’re sions for the legendaries that’s saying something.

I’d want to see, because all gonna throw in a third I do have an evolved of them had these massive legendary (like Necrozma Horsea (Kingdra) from Pokemon Sapphire that I brought up to Pokemon HeartGold and he’s still kicking as my favourite pokemon, but my Shield team is THE team to me.

on a land and water (without using surf or another HM) bike using both joy stick controls to steer your character which is cool. You can also make your own league cards to show during online play.

The story line is kind of boring in certain spots because they just copy and pasted former versions, but it is much cleaner and kinder to younger audiences than Sun and Moon, which was kind of all over the place and messy. It also shows how… dysfunctional the Black and White versions were in regards to the family conflict in the story line which was bizarre to me (the designers seemed to forget that pokemon is a kid video game ffs).

But, Pokemon Sun and Moon did get their legendaries spot on with a lion-like twin to a dragonbird-like pokemon, which this version didn’t. And even though the starters were a little weak for Sun and Moon too, at least they evolve into strong looking pokemon, which the Sword and Shield pokemon starters do not.

Other than that though, no complaints beyond the pokemon design, and I am super proud of my team and how easy it was to train them. I’m also very glad they got rid of forced HM moves, so all of my pokemon can learn better battle-ready moves without sacrifice. I would highly recommend for all pokemon lovers with a Nintendo Switch.

pressured protesters out of Ipperwash provincial park. As it happens, Dick Hill and a number of Mohawk warriors had taken over the Indian Affairs office in Brantford and while digging through old correspondence and maps, in filing cabinets, found a government map that clearly shows the location of the burial grounds right where the Indigenous people said it was. That map was a bombshell during the Ipperwash Inquiry following the unlawful death of unarmed protester, Dudley George at the hands of an OPP sharpshooter.

When asked if she could see any up and coming young warriors to take the mantle now that Dick and his generation are now gone, Hazel hopes there will come a day, but at this moment in time, she can only see the occasional spark from the community but admits she sees no one with the undeniable traits of a Mohawk Warrior.

“With Dick it was never about money,” says Hazel.

He was always the undisputed leader at any action he attended. That big old black Yukon 4X4 SUV instantly became command central when he arrived on site. Even to those who didn’t particularly like him, Dick Hill is still respect and even admired.

When Hazel was asked to join the newly proposed Haudenosaunee Development Institute, developed on behalf of the Confederacy Chiefs by lawyer Aaron Detlor, it created a serious rift between them. Dick would have nothing to do with the upstart lawyer or his promises and did not trust him at all. He held this opinion to the end.

Hazel could see the Institute as a possible way to fight for the community in a different way and re-establish the Confederacy to its former glory.

“We talked about it a long time before I accepted the offer,” says Hazel.

“As much as he opposed it however, he never told me I couldn’t do it.”

The strain on their

marriage was great during those times, but Dick refused to pull rank and order her to quit. At one point Dick was even asked to join Hazel on the board of the HDI to oversee what they were doing on behalf of the people, but he steadfastly refused, believing the Confederacy Chiefs had made a serious mistake in trusting Detlor according to Hazel.

Since Dick’s death, Hazel says she became a target of disdain by those who either didn’t support the Confederacy, didn’t trust the HDI, or were adherents to the Elected System of government. But while still alive, he defended her one hundred per cent and would not stand for anyone calling her down for her choices even if he disagreed himself.

Hazel has since moved on from the HDI she had so many hopes for and has spent a lot of time reflecting since Dick’s death. She is currently working on her memoirs of her life with what may be Six Nations’ finest Mohawk Warrior.

Jake Bomberry is all smiles as he celebrates with his dad back on May 15th, 2016, after helping his Genesee Cougars win the NJCAA Championship with a 13-12 come from behind overtime win PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT against the Onondaga Lazers.

Six Nations minor ball cancelled NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS - It was recently made official by the Executive of Six Nations Minor Ball, that due to COVID-19, the 2020 season has been cancelled.

“We would like to thank our community for being patient with our Association as we mustered through our tough decision,” Six Nations Minor Softball Association president Alisha Anderson said.

“It was not an easy decision for us as we were hopeful of salvaging some sort of season for the participants.”

On a positive note Anderson added, “If the

possibility arises that we are able to get on the diamonds in the latter months of the summer Six Nations Minor Softball Association would like to use this as a development opportunity for our youth and potentially host different types of training. With our community and youth in mind and the current pandemic situation we thought this would be the best decision for all to remain safe and healthy.”

Other summer sports leagues to have cancelled their seasons include the Ontario Senior ‘B’ lacrosse league, Major Series Lacrosse (MSL), along with Six Nations Minor Lacrosse and the Ontario Junior ‘C’ lacrosse circuit.

Looking back, Jake Bomberry called it the best weekend of lacrosse he has ever played.

Though it occurred approximately four years ago, on May 15th 2016, Bomberry still gets extremely excited when he recalls that thrilling moment when playing on the Genesee Cougars lacrosse team.

Competing in Syracuse New York, at Onondaga Community College, the Cougars shocked the world by pulling out a dramatic come from behind 13-12 overtime championship win against the Onondaga Lazers to

capture the NJCAA Championship.

“I put on the yellow and white Genesee jersey with pride because my goal was to leave there with a championship, so I always left it on the field with them,” Bomberry said. “Looking back on the win, I remember the chills running through my body when we would score a big goal. When Pat VanBortle from Fairport, N.Y. won it in overtime, and remembering the good times I can talk about and reminisce for years to come.”

That journey towards a championship saw Genesee make a statement by eliminating the number one ranked Nassau by an 8-7 semi-final win which gave the Cougars that

extra shot of momentum heading into the finals.

Playing their rivals in the finals, Genesee actually trailed for the entre game until the final five minutes when they staged that dramatic comeback.

“Our goalie played amazing,” Bomberry said.

“Our defense played huge and got some key takeaways. Our faceoff man Mike Caternolo worked his ass off for ground balls so we could have procession. Our transition game and patience were key to success. We scored when it mattered.”

Coming into action, Bomberry already had an impressive lacrosse resume which included helping the Six Nations Rebels win starting in 2011, four straight Found-

ers cups.

Among his accomplishments, he has also helped the Six Nations Rivermen win the 2019 Presidents Cup. Reflecting on all his past accolades, Bomberry has a special thrill for what his Genesee Cougars team accomplished four years ago, and the memories will surely last a lifetime.

“It was a special championship to me,” Bomberry said. “Definitely cool winning with a bunch of American kids from Buffalo all the way to California, fellow guys from home such as Alex Henry, Bailey Skye and Vern Hill.

Also, some players from Cattaraugus reservation.

It was one for the books that’s for sure.”

“Like everyone, I am disappointed that there is no lacrosse season this summer,” Six Nations Rivermen Senior ‘B’ goalie Warren Hill said. “I had hoped for a season but wasn’t going to hold my breath with the uncertainty of the situation. So, it came to no shock they decided to cancel, which I fully understand and respect the decision.”

In terms of striving for back to back President Cup championships, Hill stated, “It was definitely a goal to defend (this year) the Presidents Cup and would have been a great accomplishment for the

organization to repeat. To play for the Rivermen is special and something I would look forward to every summer. To play at the old GPA in front of friends and family, is definitely special.”

Meanwhile, the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL), were looking at a revised schedule, but after that was rejected a final decision was made to scrap the season.

“I was very disappointed about the season being cancelled,” Six Nations Chiefs goalie Douglas Jamieson said. “I was having a good season for New England and I was looking

forward to carrying that over to the Chiefs this season.” Jamieson also went on to add, “Competing for a Mann Cup would be a dream come true. I think we had a good shot. We were two games away last season.”

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait for the 2021 season to see if the Rivermen can successfully defend as Presidents Cup champions and to see if the Six Nations Chiefs can indeed complete the mission of capturing the Mann Cup.
