OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Emergency Control Group says they are supporting the elected council’s decision to remain in Phase Two of the community’s recovery plan. Despite growing transitions across the province to move towards easing pandemic restrictions — Six Nations leadership is opting to carry on with publicly mandated face masks, closed public buildings and allowing staff to continue working from home. “We have been witnessing just how devastating COVID-19 can be on First Nations and racial-
ized communities south of the border,” says Elected Chief Mark Hill. “And in most Canadian provinces, we have witnessed that continuing along the path of recovery essentially guarantees at least a small increase in COVID-19 cases. Unlike municipalities our health services and supports are fewer and we have underlying factors that already increase our risk of spread – which means this is a risk we cannot take at this time.” The ECG says overcrowding on First Nations as well as limited access to clean water and food insecurity increase the risk factors for Six Nations members to possibly contract the virus. Additionally, higher rates of pre-existing illnesses that make
people more susceptible to the threat of additional illnesses and infections. “ECG continues to monitor our pandemic response and is confident that we are in a good position within our Recovery Plan. However, we must remain committed to the plan and reduce any risks to increased exposures and spread of the virus. We must consistently consider all factors in our healthy pandemic response,” says Director of Health Services Lori Davis Hill. Davis Hill says Six Nations members should continue to exercise caution and to avoid situations that will increase their risk to exposure, which in turn may result in public health staff and
other frontline workers overwhelmed and supports exhausted. Ongoing public health and safety measures currently in place under Six Nation’s second phase include: a limit of 10 people for outside gatherings; mandatory masks in public spaces and staying at home if feeling ill or experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. In a statement SNGR says “Public health officials are also reminding community members of their responsibility when it comes to contact-tracing, a tool that continues to prove extremely effective in finding and containing the COVID-19 virus, but only when an infected person can list the people they have been
in contact with over the past 14 days.” Mandatory 14-day self-isolation is required for any Six Nations resident that has travelled outside of the Country, and must report his or her return from travel to Ohsweken Public Health at 519-445-2672. “If you cannot list all of the people you have come into contact with over the past two weeks, you are overdoing it and should consider limiting your interactions and visits with others,” says Davis Hill. If you or somebody you know is experiencing any symptoms, please contact the COVID-19 Information and Assessment centre at 226-446-9909 OR 1-855977-7737 to arrange for a free test.
County officials responded to reports of smoke coming from an apartment in the community of Hagersville on Wednesday. Investigators say they found the man’s body inside after responders doused the flames. The Ontario Fire Marshal's office is assisting in the investigation. Police say there is no concern for public safety at this time, and there were no other occupants in the apartment.
BRANTFORD — All students in Grand Erie’s elementary and secondary schools will be headed back to class full time on September 8. This following Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce’s announcement that all publicly funded schools in the province will reopen this fall. “Grand Erie’s enhanced cleaning protocols will include an emphasis
on touch points, common areas and common objects,” said GEDSB in a statement. “Health and safety protocols will focus on making time for regular handwashing. Where handwashing is not available, hand sanitizer will be used.” The school board says directional signage will be placed to assist with physical distancing requirements, and individual schools are working out their own details on how
to stagger nutrition, lunch and recess breaks. Non-medical cloth masks are now mandated for all Ontario public school students in Grades 4-12.The Province will be providing medical masks for teachers and school staff. Parents who wish to opt out and keep their children home in September must contact the school board by August 23.

OHSWEKEN — The grand opening of a new group of tiny homes on Six Nations was hosted last week. Marc Miller, Minister of Indigenous Services, congratulated Chief Mark Hill and Six Nations of the Grand River on the completion of its Tiny Homes Housing initiative, with eight new homes built. The community celebrated the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony as people moved into their new homes. “I would like to thank Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council, the community and the housing department for their dedication and efforts that made this project possible,” said Elected Chief Mark Hill. “We have seen a greater demand for single, low occupancy units and the Tiny Homes initiative will provide the communi-
ty with greater flexibility in addressing its housing needs – including concerns of overcrowding – as we continue to follow Public Health recommendations during COVID-19.” This is the first Tiny Homes project on an Ontario First Nation. The new homes will provide affordable housing options to individuals in the community. The buildings were designed and built by Six Nations Housing designed in partnership with Indig-
enous Services Canada and local Indigenous partners and contractors. “Congratulations to Elected Chief Hill and the Six Nations of the Grand River on the completion on your innovative Tiny Homes project. We are proud to have partnered with Six Nations on this project that will improve living conditions, reduce overcrowding and provide safe and healthy homes for residents of the community,” said Miller.

That is in contrast to the provincial standard through the pandemic shut-downs last school year where participation did not affect final grades for Ontario students. Staff will be required to work at the school during the school year and to provide office hours for parents or students with questions. Students will be provided iPads along with access to WiFi. Those students
without access to wifi will have cellular internet connections purchased for them by the band along with pre loaded learning materials where necessary. A working group will begin discussions late in the fall term to determine is local infection rates are low enough for students to return to the classroom for the second half of the year. The band says further updates will be shared for what the plan is for students requiring special education.

Fishing lodge owner criticizes B.C. over order restricting access to Haida Gwaii STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A fishing lodge in Haida Gwaii that faced criticism from local residents over its plan to reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic says it should've been excluded from the British Columbia government's decision to restrict access to the archipelago. The West Coast Fishing Club reopened when B.C. entered Phase 3 in its pandemic recovery plan. But access to Haida Gwaii by non-residents was restricted by the B.C. government on Thursday, with Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth saying in a statement that it was part of an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. Twenty people have tested positive for the virus in the remote archipelago. Brian Legge, the club's president, said the deci-
sion to restrict access to Haida Gwaii has effectively forced the fishing lodge to shut down. ``I think they could've excluded us,'' he said in an interview. ``We have 36 staff who were doing well, functioning well and are now unemployed.'' He believes his business poses little threat of spreading COVID-19 to the wider community as it's relatively isolated and would be able to airlift anyone who potentially fell sick back to the mainland. Duffy Edgars, the chief councillor of the Old Massett Village council in Haida Gwaii, said in a previous interview that he found the decision to reopen two fishing lodges ``disrespectful.'' Legge said he understood the concerns raised by members of the Haida Gwaii community, who are dealing with managing the outbreak, regarding guests coming to the
5 X 6.5
lodge, but believed they had taken all the necessary safety precautions. Legge also walked back an earlier press release which claimed staff and guests were ``effectively stranded'' on the island by the government's order. He acknowledged that guests and staff aren't stranded, it just logistically provides more headaches in trying to have guests leave while also dealing with shutting the lodge down. Emergency Management BC, the provincial body responsible for emergency management activities, said it hasn't received any requests for additional support or information from the club relating to the order closure, nor does the order restrict anyone from leaving Haida Gwaii. It also noted that it let the fishing lodge know of the order before it had been made public.

Breeching coronavirus self-isolation could see $5000 fine per day in Brantford-Brant STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
BRANTFORD — Orders in place in Brantford-Brant would see residents required to quarantine or self-isolate when experiencing symptoms of coronavirus or have had exposure to a person with coronavirus. Brant County Health Unit Acting Dr. Elizabeth Urbantke, Acting Medical Officer of Health issued the order under Ontario’s Health Protection and
Promotion Act. The Order is a legal measure that authorizes the Health Unit to enforce individual compliance with public health instructions. The Order addresses the mandatory self-isolation or quarantine of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, those who have the signs and symptoms and are awaiting their test results, anyone who otherwise have reasonable grounds to believe they have symptoms of COVID-19 and those who are a close contact with
anyone diagnosed, displaying symptoms or who had an exposure. The order applies to all residents of Brantford and the County of Brant and came into effect on midnight July 29. “All residents are required to follow the requirements under this Order. Those who do not can be charged and fined up to $5,000 per day for every day the offence occurs or continues. This Order will remain in place until further notice,” said Urbantke. “Thus far in our
COVID-19 response, our community has been very receptive to self-isolation and quarantine guidelines. I have put this Order in place to give the Health Unit another tool at our disposal to ensure that same level of compliance can continue. We are putting this Order in place to be proactive. If issues with residents not following these directions did appear in the future, we would have the ability to act swiftly in our enforcement efforts. Many neighbouring jurisdictions have similar orders in place.”

McLaughlin hoax is not a laughing matter NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
In the latest bizzaro world of pretendian news — a new story is breaking on social media. BethAnn McLaughlin, a former professor at Vanderbilt University announced that a friend of hers, Twitter user @ sciencing_bi, had died of COVID-19. Thing is, there is no such person as @sciencing_bi. Yep. McLaughlin made up a fake friend — a Native American bisexual university professor who supposedly worked for Arizona State University. The false person claimed they were Hopi, had fled from Alabama due to the oppression of queer people in that state and set up a life in Arizona. They then announced to the world they were the latest victim of the coronavirus pandemic. The fake account, @ sciencing_bi, broadcast in a series of now deleted tweets, great detail about her non-existent coronavirus infection including lamenting over a high fever, blaming Arizona State University for forcing them to show up to work — where the fake person claimed they contracted COVID-19. Of course, following the announcement that an ASU prof was dead — academics on Twitter went into research mode and were angered that the university did not announce the death of a faculty member. The university launched an investigation and quickly determined that no such
person existed. Meanwhile, McLaughlin was orchestrating a long and dramatic lament of the death of her “friend” — including now deleted tweets reported by the New York Times on Tuesday. “She was supposed to get Hopi talisman for health as gifts for us but she ran out,” Ms. McLaughlin tweeted. “God. The irony of running out of health talisman.” The Times reported McLaughlin tweeted she was going to get matching Hopi language tattoos with @sciencing_bi. In an even weirder twist — if you can imagine it — McLaughlin posted a photo of her daughter claiming her own child was the fictional deceased professor. Back at ASU, McLaughlin, who is a 51 year old neuroscientist, was quickly identified as the only person on Twitter who claimed to know @ sciencing_bi outside of social media. As a result, ASU announced the story was a ‘hoax’ and Twitter has banned both the @sciencing_bi and McLaughlin’s Twitter accounts. When the story broke you could audibly hear all of Indigenous North America whisper - ‘wtf?!’ So many questions! Why did this lady make a fake account? Why make the fake person a Native American? How come they are bisexual? Was that an important detail? And why invent a false persona on social media only to kill them off in a very public pandemic related callout on social media during said persona’s dying tweets?
I mean, in taking the liberty to speak on behalf of all of Indigenous North America here — no one is surprised that another person of European ancestry has been found out for faking indigenous identity for some sort of self-gratifying adventure. On the one hand, we’re awesome. Last week a white person from Caledonia came out to TRT reporters on the scene of a land reclamation and actually told our reporters they supported the halting of a housing development and ‘wished white people could do this’. There are some pretty cool aspects to being Indigenous. We have the best hair. We have the best songs. We have the best aunties. We invented fried bread and later, the fried bologna sandwich. A caucasian lady tried to steal that on us in a viral video last year that angered us all and the ancestors. Embracing gender non-binary and rejecting heteronormative standards was basically a root value of our people pre-colonization — so we’re way ahead of the curve on that one. On that end I get why some people are jealous of our aceness and want to be us. Until it’s time to be us. Walking out life as an Indigenous person in a society that has for hundreds of years has objectified, qualified, measured and legislated our lives is not easy. It’s even harder for those of us that are visibly identifiable as indige-

nous. Not some kind of social media persona you can turn on and off whenever you feel like changing roles. Real indigenous people can’t shut off brown skin, last names, reserve addresses, our status cards or the maltreatment that all too often comes along with it. We don’t get to log out of boil water advisories, isolated reservations, forced relocation, intergenerational trauma, police oppression or on-rez lateral violence. McLaughlin’s fake bisexual indigenous Twitter account is kind of funny until it isn’t. She eventually came out and admitted to creating the fake account in a statement to the New York Times through her lawyer. “I take full responsibility for my involvement in creating the @sciencing_bi Twitter account,” it said. “My actions are inexcusable. I apologize without reservation to all the people I hurt.” Can’t help but wonder if the ‘without reservation’ was tongue in cheek in this ‘apology’. Indigenous-ness and bisexuality were just two “identity cards” this person decided to pull from a deck that is by creation stacked against actual people of color. This person knew how to play the game of feigning authenticity in order to centre their voice and opinions, taking up space among those who are marginalized by virtue of their birth. It is despicable, selfish, and shameful.
Inquest to probe police killing of Indigenous man FREDERICTON — A coroner's inquest will look into the police killing of an Indigenous man in New Brunswick in June. The provincial government says the Rodney Levi inquest will start after investigations and any potential court proceedings are done. Levi, 48, was attending a barbecue on June 12 near the Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation when someone allegedly called police to complain about an ``unwanted person.'' The Mounties have said a suspect carrying knives was jolted with a stun gun, but that failed to subdue him. He was shot when he charged at officers, police said. The province had already announced an inquest into the death of Chantel Moore, an Indigenous woman shot and killed by Edmundston police during a wellness check June 4. Moore, 26, was fatally shot after she allegedly lunged at an officer with a knife. A coroner's inquest is a formal court proceeding that allows for the public presentation of all evidence relating to a death. An inquest does not make any finding of legal responsibility nor does it assign blame. However, recommendations can be made aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future. The two killings sparked dismay and anger in the Indigenous community along with demands for a full inquiry. Chief George Ginnish, of
Eel Ground First Nation, said this month there has long been systemic racism in the justice system and the RCMP is not prepared to deal with First Nations' issues. The Native Women's Association of Canada said Wednesday it has written to Moore's family to support their call for a public inquiry with the power to make findings of misconduct. ``We agree that a coroner's inquest is insufficient,'' association president Lorraine Whitman said in a news release. ``Factual and substantiated answers are needed to determine why a health check resulted in a tragic death.'' She said that until there is a full understanding of the circumstances that led to Moore's death, ``Indigenous women continue to see police as vessels of death and violence rather than ones of peace and security.'' Earlier this month, following a meeting with New Brunswick chiefs, Premier Blaine Higgs said he thought the Indigenous leaders' concerns should be addressed through a national inquiry. ``This is bigger than New Brunswick,'' Higgs said. ``This is a national issue. Every province is dealing with these issues, and why don't we make it that?'' Mi'kmaq leaders are also calling for immediate reforms to the justice system, including improved police training and standards and increased Indigenous involvement in police oversight.

TWO ROW TIMES
August 5th, 2020
Opinion: More awareness needed around Missing & Murdered Indigenous Men By Jen MtPleasant There are many native women’s agencies all across Canada who have been advocating for the rights of Indigenous women for decades. Each year these agencies receive millions of dollars in government funding to research, create and offer programs and services geared towards ending violence against women. Many of these agencies offer specific services for families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. While those services are very much needed to support families of the victims, in 2015, Statistics Canada released a report entitled, “Homicide in Canada,” which found that Indigenous males were three times more likely to be murdered than Indigenous females. Furthermore, Indigenous men are seven times more likely to die a violent death than non-Indigenous men. In 2015, Indigenous men made up 25% of homicide victims in Canada yet Indigenous people as a whole make up less than four percent of the overall population in Canada. Despite this alarming evidence, there currently does not exist any national native men’s associations to advocate on their behalf. While many regional native centres and national native women’s agencies do include the needs of Indigenous men in their programs and services, it tends to be from the perspective of native men as perpetrators of crime,
such as domestic violence, as opposed to native men as victims of crime. Not only are Indigenous men victims of homicide at a rate that far exceeds any other race or gender in Canada, these men, elders and boys are disappearing and dying extremely violent deaths. What separates missing and murdered Indigenous women from men? How are they different? How are they similar? With Indigenous female victims of homicide, there often is a sexual component. Many victims were sexually assaulted before, during or after their homicide. Some women are preyed upon, for example, by Johns. Some women are killed by their partners. Other women are victims of serial killers, who tend to be middle aged white males. Many women are seen as sort of an “exotic fruit” to the colonial eye. They are targeted, sexually violated, killed and then tossed away. Many victims of the Highway of Tears homicides were found slain along the Yellowhead highway in British Columbia. Their bodies discarded in ditches and in bush areas. Many of the female victims have yet to be found with many disappearances going back decades. Their families still waiting for answers and ultimately, closure. With missing and murdered Indigenous men, it tends to be more gang related, especially in the western provinces where Indigenous gangs are rampant both inside and outside of prisons. These
gangs also control many Indigenous communities. Homicides of Indigenous males is not always a result of “native-on-native” violence. There are hundreds of case examples of Indigenous men being preyed upon by non-Indigenous people. Take for example a more recent case, Jacob Sansom and Morris Cardinal, two Metis family members who were shot dead while on a hunting trip, by two white males, a father and son duo. This happened last March. Both have since been charged with second-degree murder and are awaiting trial. Colton Boushie is another example. He was a 22-year-old Cree from Red Pheasant First Nation in Saskatchewan. He was shot point blank by a white farmer, Gerald Stanley in 2016. There are thousands of more cases like Colton Boushie, Jacob Sansom and Morris Cardinal. And while no one knows the exact number of missing and murdered Indigenous men, we do know they are three times more likely to die a violent death than Indigenous women. Yet there is currently no national Indigenous organization to advocate for male victims of homicide, disappearances and violence. Families of missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys should receive the same level of support, compassion and justice as anyone else because there is no greater grief in this world than a mother who loses a child, whether it be a son or daughter.

Suspicious vehicles follow female on Cayuga Road; Police called STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Police responded to a call Monday reporting suspicious vehicles on Cayuga Road near Fifth Line Road which had been following a female who was walking on the roadway. Officers arrived at the area and spoke with a
31 year old female. The female described one vehicle to be a white van with all white windows on the sides and back. The van was accompanied by a black sedan car. The vehicles had passed by the female three times; on the third time, they were heard to comment on "getting her". The Indigenous female felt she was about to be abducted and ran to a friend's resi-
dence on Cayuga Road. The number of occupants is unknown, no licence numbers were obtained. The only description of the two males in the van was that they had no type of accent and may have been Caucasian. Police patrolled the area but did not locate the suspect vehicles. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
saw 22 suspected opioid overdoses and 1 death — June saw a total of 12 overdoses. The average number of overdoses in the first six months of 2020 was 13. BCHU says that fentanyl is suspected to be involved in most of the overdoses reported. Now health officials are warning users to never use opioids alone, go slow with the substances. Also to know the source of
where the substances are coming from and to carry naloxone. Some of the symptoms of withdrawal and COVID-19 infection are similar. These include fever and muscle soreness. If symptoms include a persistent cough, it could be COVID-19. In the case of an overdose, even if naloxone has been administered health officials say to call 9-1-1.

The group says the housing development is being built upon land that is rightfully theirs and that Canada has failed them and the developers. Skyler Williams reported on Facebook Tuesday, "The cops called and said that we need to remove all the women and children. The injunction has been served. Arrests are coming. Then 15 minutes later they called back to say nevermind, that it was a miscommunication. We aren’t going anywhere. The response from everybody is awesome. It’s time to dig in. We will build and grow.

Forward Ryan Davis part of Guelph Storm OHL history NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN - Reminiscing on his career, this forward from Six Nations who was drafted in 1995 in the second round — 36th overall by the Owen Sound Platers — experienced the biggest thrill when three years later he was playing in the Memorial Cup, although on a different team. “The biggest highlights of my junior career was when I got traded to the Guelph Storm in ’98. We won Guelph’s first OHL championship and went to the Memorial Cup in Spokane Washington as the Ontario champs and represented the OHL,” Davis said. “We played against Val d’or, the Q champs, Portland Winterhawks the WHL champs and the host Spokane Chiefs.” In mentioning some former NHL stars who played Davis added, “To name a few players and people, there was Roberto Luongo, who I scored two goals on in the round robin game. Mike Babcock (future NHL coach) coached Spokane, Marian Hossa played for Portland and was the best player there and the best player in junior I ever played against.” In talking about that ’98 Guelph team Davis went on to add, “We had a wellcoached, well rounded team that could play any style of game.” Davis found himself thriving on Guelph’s checking line where he prided himself on slowing down and frustrating the
Six Nations hockey player Ryan Davis is all smiles as he proudly holds the OMHA trophy with his dad. Ryan would go on to have a magical junior and OHL career which saw him in 1998 play for Guelph in the Memorial Cup. Davis would also experience the thrill of hearing his name called at the NHL draft as he was selected sixth round, 142ndd overall by the Buffalo Sabres. Looking back, Davis said that PHOTO COURTESY OF DAVIS` he wouldn't change a thing and that he loved every second of playing.
opposition’s top offensive line. During the Memorial Cup, Guelph ended up losing against Portland and Davis was ejected for a controversial questionable hit on Hossa. “It was our assignment to shut down all the top lines and players and I always thrived at that job. I always loved doing it,” Davis said. “Playing people hard and stuff. Making things hard and difficult and not easy for all them skilled players. I was never a big scorer in junior, never big into penalty minutes, never big assist guy, but my legacy and what I want to be remembered for was as a teammate who stuck up for himself and his teammates. A hard worker, played with heart, work ethic and desire and just loved the game and loved to play.”
As a teenager, Davis’ elite hockey skills got noticed early as he found himself playing at the age of 14 years-old for the Port Dover Jr. C Clippers before jumping the following season to Jr. ‘B’ where he played for the hometown Ohsweken Golden Eagles. “I got to play with some of my local heroes that I grew up watching in minor hockey,” Davis said in reference to his year playing in Port Dover. “Those guys took me under my wing and looked after me as I was just a kid trying to find my way. Dude Bomberry, Brandon Hill, Blake Martin, Craig Macdonald, Bob Henry and Nathan MacDonald were some of the guys from home, Six Nations that I got to play with that season. We also had a good group of guys
and a good team that got along and coaches and management that treated me good and I will always remember my first year in Junior ‘C’.” In regards to his experience at Junior ‘B’ Davis went on to add, “The following season I chose to stay home and play for our local Junior B team the Ohsweken Golden Eagles. I was 15 now turning 16, so it was my draft year in the OHL. As a player I never looked at it as trying to get drafted because I was always a player that just wanted to play.” During that season the Golden Eagles struggled with only eight wins, but it was still a memorable campaign for the teenaged Davis who got to do what he enjoyed most which was play hockey with his friends. “I got to play with some

buddies and we had a good bunch of guys that had fun and good attitude towards the situation we were in,” Davis said. “I never looked at Jr B as in trying to get drafted. I looked at Jr. B as a step to try to get to another level. That people were watching you as a hockey player. That scouts were in the stands to see players that they would want on their team. That could be anything. NCAA, college and university as well as the OHL and NHL. Because you never knew who came to watch the games.” Davis went on to add, “You never knew who came to watch the games. I always wanted to try my best and show my heart and my effort. To always try my best and be the hardest worker out on the nice so that I could be counted on by my coaches and teammates. I think back to my year of junior B and the biggest thing I think of and the reason I got drafted to the OHL was because I got to play.” During that season Davis represented the Golden Eagles at the all-star game where he impressed and definitely opened eyes with a two- goal effort. ”I just wanted to represent Ohsweken and Six Nations and where I came from. To show all them scouts that me and our team wasn’t just a bunch of misfits who never cared about hockey.” Prior to the OHL draft, Davis received lots of interest from scouts, coaches and management from various teams. During this time, Davis and his family met with Oshawa Generals head scout Donnie Chrysler
who told them that the team planned on drafting Davis at the OHL draft. Certain that he would be picked by the Generals, Davis who was dressed in a new suit travelled with his parents to Maple Leaf Gardens for the 1995 OHL Draft. To his surprise, it was Owen Sound who ended up calling his name second round in the OHL draft. “I was in total shock but it also showed me how much they wanted me,” Davis said. “Ray Mckelvie drafted me and told me, he watched me all season and watched me improve and thought I could be a building block in helping for a rebuild in Owen Sound. Oshawa had the 38th pick in the second round and Donnie Chrysler was so pissed off at Owen Sound for taking me but as you and people know, things happen for a reason.” Living away from home, Davis admitted that while feeling excitement, he was also feeling some nervousness being away from family and friends in a strange unfamiliar place. “You really learn how to grow up fast,” Davis said. “I had great billet family in Ron and Ann Kidd. They cared for me like their own kids which really helped the transition.” During that first season, Davis saw limited ice, and when needed wasn’t afraid to chuck the knuckles. “My rookie year was a solid one. I never got to play much but learned fast that the veterans ran the team and that ice-

time was earned,” Davis said. “I got one shift, one game, and before we hit the ice, the coach said do not get scored on. Our line ended up getting scored on. It wasn’t my guy that scored but our whole line got benched for it. You listened really fast that you better listen to the coach or you didn’t play.” Regarding fighting, Davis stated, “My first year as well, I never took any bull on the ice. I fought for myself and teammates and dropped the gloves many nights to just protect myself and stand up for myself. If you stand up for yourself and let people know you don’t put up with the bullshit on the ice, then they will leave you alone and give you the
respect out there.” Playing in what was his third season with Owen Sound is when Davis got shipped to Guelph. Summing up what was a solid OHL career Davis stated, “I got a ring, I held the trophy, I got pictures and I got the memories from junior,” Davis said. “It goes by in the blink of an eye and I loved it.” Breaking into the OHL as a fresh- faced rookie in 1995/96, Davis showcased his offensive skills as he scored 11 goals and 20 points while racking up 62 penalty minutes in 60 games. The following season Davis’ offensive numbers jumped as he improved with 23 goals and 43
points while this time earning 112 penalty minutes. In his third OHL campaign, this veteran started off well as he scored 11 goals and 21 points in 31 games before being shipped off to Guelph where eventually he would get the thrill of playing in the Memorial Cup. Playing on the shutdown line for Guelph, Davis scored three goals and six points and 63 penalty minutes in 26 games, before following that up with a career season the following season. During that 1998/99 season, which was his last year, Davis exploded offensively with 25 goals and 53 points along with

It was a memory I will never forget to have your name called and get to put on that jersey and be a part of the franchise and get to play with and practice with the best players in the world and see if you can fit in with them and try to earn a spot and chase your dreams of making it.” In total Davis attended two Sabres training camps in 1996 when Ted Nolan was the coach and in ’97 when it was Lindy Ruff behind the bench. Prior to that first training camp, Davis was working out in Buffalo with established Sabres such as Rob Ray, Matthew Barnaby, Brad May along with other Sabres draft picks. In
training camp Davis got to skate with such Sabres superstars as future hall of famers Pat LaFontaine and goalie Domink Hasek. Davis did play some pre-season exhibition games for Buffalo but never played a regular season or playoff game. Still, there are no regrets for this former athlete who stressed that he loved every minute of his career. “My dream and all I ever wanted to do was play hockey and try to make my dream come true. One thing about it all is that I would never change it and the advice I have for the younger ones chasing their dream is you got to love it. It’s just a kid’s game but I love hockey and still do to this day.”

CHICAGO — The National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks said Wednesday they are banning headdresses at home games as part of their pledge to honour the Native American community. The move comes after conversations with Native American partners to establish new policies and initiatives. While the team will play the remainder of its games this season in an empty arena in Edmonton, Alberta, the no headdresses policy begins as soon as fans are allowed back at Chicago's United Center for games or events. ``These symbols are sacred, traditionally reserved for leaders who have earned a place of great respect in their tribe, and should not be generalized or used as a costume or for everyday wear,'' the team said. The Blackhawks plan to further integrate Native American culture and storytelling into game presentation and community involvement. They're also working to establish a new wing at Trickster Cultural Center, the only Native American-owned and operated arts institution in Illinois.

A hard worker who played with heart, work ethic and desire and just loved the game and loved to play,” Davis said. A few years earlier during the summer of 1996, Davis fulfilled that ultimate dream when in St. Louis he heard his name being called in the sixth round — 142nd overall of the NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres. A moment, he still fondly remembers. “That was a dream come true that day,” Davis said. “To just realize that Buffalo was going to give

In the USA the term Native American is used although in Canada Indigenous is preferred but neither convey the true diversity and complexity of the hundreds of different people groups who lived here for thousands of years before Columbus sailed the Ocean PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT blue.
The team said earlier this month it will continue to use the Blackhawks name because it honours a Native American leader who has been an inspiration to generations. The moniker was chosen in 1926 for the World War I military Blackhawk Division, which was named after Sauk nation leader Black Hawk. ``The Chicago Blackhawks name and logo symbolizes an important and historic person, Black Hawk of Illinois' Sac & Fox Nation, whose leadership and life has inspired generations of Native Americans, veterans and the public,'' the NHL team said in a statement in early July. ``We celebrate Black Hawk's legacy by offering ongoing reverent examples of Native American culture, traditions and contributions, providing a platform for genuine
dialogue with local and national Native American groups.'' The national conversation on race and racism has increased pressure on professional sports teams to reconsider Native American names, mascots, logos and imagery. Washington's NFL team dropped the name Redskins, and Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians are considering making a change. ``We recognize there is a fine line between respect and disrespect, and we commend other teams for their willingness to engage in that conversation,'' the Blackhawks said. ``Moving forward, we are committed to raising the bar even higher to expand awareness of Black Hawk and the important contributions of all Native American people.''
Edmonton Oilers defenceman called it a special honor. Ethan Bear, who represents the Ochapowace Cree Nation, proudly made history when on Tuesday, July 28th during an exhibition game against the Calgary Flames, he wore a specialized Oilers jersey emblazoned with a Cree nameplate. “It’s very honorable to the players that played before me and then to the young Indigenous kids who want to play in the NHL,” Bear, who is 23 years-old said. “It’s very honorable for me. I wore it with pride tonight. It was awesome.” This one of a kind Ethan Bear Cree Oilers jersey, which on the back had his last name spelt out in Cree, is proving to be a hit. Not long after the July 28th game, the specialized jersey quickly sold out after being made available through Pro-Am Sports Store. “Last night (The July 28th exhibition game) obviously makes it more official,” Pro-Am Sports Store owner Jack Cookson said. “Before it was something cool on a jersey, but now it’s been on the ice. “We’ve had orders from Europe and Asia, all over North America.”
Ethan Bear (above) get's a custom jersey with Cree orthography. PHOTO BY X
Selected in 2015, 124th overall by the Oilers, Bear signed a three-year entry contract on July 2nd 2016 with Edmonton and made his official NHL debut on March 1st. 2018 against the Nashville Predators. A little over three weeks later, on March 25th in a 5-4 overtime loss against the Anaheim Ducks, Bear celebrated his first NHL goal. This year, the 5’11’’ 197pound defenceman enjoyed a solid rookie campaign which saw the Regina Saskatchewan resident score 21 points (5 goals, 16 assists) while posting a -4 mark in 71 games. Bear has also provided some valuable grittiness and is not hesitant to drop his gloves which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Edmonton fans. “We’ve developed a relationship and we reached
out to his girlfriend and she put us in touch with his dad who put us in touch with his uncle and Ethan’s uncle was the one who did the research and made sure we got it right,” Cookson said about the hot selling jersey. In terms of wearing this specialized jersey, Bear could hardly contain his pride at getting to experience this opportunity. “Ethan was pretty excited about it, showing it around the dressing room,” Cookson said. “Obviously what came of that was him wearing it on the ice which was pretty cool.” Though it might have only been an exhibition game, you can bet that showing that indigenous pride by wearing a customized Oilers shirt with his last name decked out in Cree is something he will never forget.
