Six Nations students learning from home until November STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations elementary school students will not be heading back to the classroom until at least November.

This according to a statement from Kathleen Manderville, Director of Six Nations Federal Schools, Indigenous Services.

Students will choose between two options: working online fully from

home or in print-off paper work packages from home.

All students working online from home will be provided an iPad and given 310 minutes of learning per day with daily whole group guided instructions, multiple posted lessons and directs support through daily check-ins with dedicated teachers specifically assigned to the working from home model.

Students from Grades K-8 will be led through at least 2 live-streamed

group lessons per day.

Younger students will be paired in smaller working groups for posted workfrom-home tasks.

Older students could be guided through as many as 4 live streamed group lessons per day.

The second option is for students to pick up weekly work packages prepared per grade level.

These work packages will address all curriculum areas and students with special education needs will get packages based on their Individual Education

Plans.

Each Monday pick up of new packages and drop off of completed packages will take place in a curbside pick-up model at a designated school location (alternate arrangements will be made for those without access to transportation - please provide this information when choosing this model).

Scheduled group lessons by teleconference will be held twice weekly and attendance will be required. As well as individual check-in by phone

will be scheduled for each student twice weekly to provide support and feedback.

There will also be Special Education Remote Learning online or by phone for students with special needs, prepared by need.

Further details can be found on the SNGR Facebook page or by calling Six Nations Schools to inform of students choice of program.

Students officially return to school-at-home on September 3, 2020.

that he was not physically harmed,” said the council.

“We are sending our strength and prayers to Elected Chief Mark Hill following Tuesday’s devastating event,” said the council. “We hope he takes the time he needs and we will support him to do so.”

At Tuesday’s General Council meeting Councillor Nathan Wright stated Chief Hill would be away from regular duties on respite until September 8.

“We are sending our prayers and good medicines to Elected Chief Hill and his family following last week’s terrible news,” says the Six Nations Emergency Control Group in a statement. “Chief Hill has played an incredible

leadership role within the ECG and we wish him and his family healing and good health. We look forward to his return as we try our best to continue to navigate through these uncertain times in his strongly-felt absence.”

The Emergency Control Group was initiated in March to help guide the community through the global COVID-19 pandemic. Elected Chief Hill is the group’s representative from Elected Council.

The ECG also thanked the Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services, Six Nations Paramedics and the Six Nations Police Services members who responded to the Elected

Chief’s home on Sixth Line.

After consultation with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office, Six Nations Police confirmed Wednesday the fire at the Chief’s home is an active arson investigation.

On Tuesday August 18, 2020 at 8:23 AM, Six Nations Police and Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services responders arrived to battle the blast at Chief Hill’s home on Sixth Line.

Police said as first responders arrived the home was completely engulfed in flames. A passerby suspected Chief Hill was still inside the home.

Police say that person managed to get Chief Hill out to safety.

Initially when they arrived Six Nations Police received word that another family member may still be inside the residence. A secondary search of the residence was initiated; police were updated that the other person was accounted for at a different location.

The home suffered major fire and smoke damage. Anybody with any information on the August 18th fire is encouraged to contact Six Nations Police at 519-445-2811 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

As injunctions extended against demonstrations in Caledonia, elected council votes to apologize to residents STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — A Brantford judge has granted interlocutory injunctions on the McKenzie Meadows properties in Caledonia — and rebuked demonstrators for aiming their efforts toward orchestrating chaotic imagery and dramatic speeches on national media while at the same time rejecting participation in the legal processes that would give them the platform to legally oppose the project.

In his August 21 written decision, Justice R John Harper granted interlocutory injunctions on the McKenzie Meadows housing development property, barring anyone from occupying the worksite or roads in Haldimand County.

Harper said, “It is important to point out that the claims of the “land defender”/protestors have not been advanced within these proceedings. In the media reports attached to both the Haldimand action and the Foxgate action, there are numerous refer-

A Superior Court judge had lots to say about Land Defenders on Tuesday August 25th. A demonstration in opposition to the courts PHOTO BY JONATHAN GARLOW rulings was held outside.

ences to spokespersons allegedly speaking on behalf of the “land defenders”.

The assertion in the media reports by the alleged spokespersons is that this is an issue between sovereign nations. They assert, in the media only, that this land was never ceded by the Haudenosaunee. They assert this as a land claim.

It is not a land claim.”

Harper noted that those who have self identified

as land defenders did not express opposition to the development when the process was fully open to the public, did not engage with Six Nations of the Grand River when the community entered into the definitive agreement with Foxgate to allow the project to go ahead and were not involved in the archeological assessments since 2017.

“The persons who call

themselves the “land defenders” have done nothing since, at least, 2015 when Foxgate became the titled owner to the Lands.

Nor is there any evidence that they expressed opposition to the proposed plans submitted between 2003 and 2015,” wrote Harper.

The judge also criticized that no one who was acting in defense of the land came to bring their voice to the courtroom — allowing the request for an injunction to go uncontested.

“In the case before me, no person or entity has filed any responding material or otherwise put in an appearance or even expressed a desire to respond or appear. From the media reports that have been filed as exhibits to both Foxgate and Haldimand’s materials it appears that those who have been occupying the Lands and obstructing highways and roads in Haldimand County are content to raise any of their concerns in the media as opposed to the court,” wrote Harper.

“From the media reports, the protestors refer to themselves as “land defenders”. However,

the nature of any of their defense to land is to resort to self-help and violence instead of participating in the court process. On both occasions that this matter was in this court, I indicated that anyone who wanted to participate in these proceedings should do so. Otherwise this court can only make decisions on the basis of uncontradicted evidence that is properly placed before it.”

Meanwhile — the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council passed a motion at Tuesday’s General Council meeting to extend an apology to Caledonia residents for the violence and chaos inspired by those occupying the McKenzie Meadows site.

SNGR says they’ve failed in educating the community about the project.

A motion was put forward by Melba Thomas who said that she has felt compelled to apologize to residents who may have felt terrorized by violent imagery aimed at national media by those occupying the worksite and concerned for toxic substances in billowing black smoke after tires and construction equipment were set

on fire.

In his decision, Harper also addressed the imagery in the media as putting local residents from both communities at risk.

“Black burning tire smoke billowing into the air is as much a toxic health risk as it is a toxic emotional and psychological risk to the Haldimand community,” said Harper.

Thomas said that as a Six Nations resident and neighbour to Caledonia she has experienced confusion from Caledonia residents who don’t know how to respond to Six Nations people frequenting their businesses.

“I feel that the people are very confused as to how they treat us as a result of the violence on the system and towards police for example,” said Thomas.

Elected Councillor Hazel Johnson said she supported the motion to issue an apology to all Haldimand County residents, and said that all too often once these kinds of tense situations are out of the media there are unresolved feelings that fester between the two communities.

Elected Council votes to apologize CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

Johnson said that the council should also apologize to Six Nations residents — saying that while demonstrators sought to raise the profile of their feelings about the housing development in the media, other Six Nations members did not oppose the project but had no equal opportunity to have their opinions amplified in the national media.

“For our own people there was a lot of our own that have those feelings of sitting on pins and needles,

feeling stressed about that.

We should acknowledge our own people as well.”

Councillor Kerry Bomberry also supported the desire to reach out to Caledonians with an apology and to work to reconcile the two communities in the face of the dispute — citing concerns that Six Nations students will be returning to McKinnon Secondary School in a few weeks and that the work of restoring peace between the communities should put those children in the

centre of their focus.

Over the weekend people occupying the worksite removed roadblocks as a gesture of good faith and to redirect the attention away from civil disobedience and toward their opinions about defending the land.

Federal ministers with Indigenous Services and Reconciliation are expected to be speaking with officials with SNGR and the hereditary chiefs in the coming weeks to address the issues at hand.

in Caledonia, Ont., have been taken down and the group has ``scaled back'' its presence there.

Skyler Williams says in the post that the move comes after ``lots of discussions and meetings'' as well as feedback from the community.

Provincial police say the newly cleared roads are closed for repairs, a process that could continue into the weekend.

OPP spokesman Const.

Rodney Leclair says demonstrators remain at

the MacKenzie Meadows development site, as does the force's liaison team.

Protesters have dubbed the site ``1492 Land Back Lane,'' arguing the development violates the sovereignty of the Haudenosaunee people.

Nine protesters were arrested earlier this month after police came to enforce an injunction ordering them off the land. They were later released.

Caledonia resident scammed for over $30,000 STAFF REPORT

On Thursday August 24, 2020, a Caledonia resident reported they were the victim of a fraud after sending over $30,000 to an unknown person they had only met online.

BRANTFORD — Brant County Health Unit says there were nine new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the region this week.

That is up from three cases in the two weeks prior.

Acting Medical Officer of Health for BCHU Dr. Elizabeth Urbantke said four of the nine cases were traced back to the same social circle.

“What we know about COVID-19 is that most cases are spread through close contact of longer than 15 minutes. This is why following guidance around keeping close contact to social circles of

10 people or less is so important at this stage of the response. When limiting close contact to 10 people, you are effectively containing any spread of the illness to that group,” said Urbantke.

“It can definitely look alarming to see numbers go up, but the trends the Health Unit is seeing from our contact tracing efforts have remained consistent throughout the latest phase of our response.”

Urbantke said residents in the region should continue to follow public health advise to maintain physical distancing, wash hands often, limit close contacts and wear face masks to contain and minimize the possibility of local outbreaks.

victim they needed to borrow money to travel out of country to collect an inheritance and also for medications for their sick child.

The suspect promised the victim that they would pay the victim back double the amount borrowed.

The victim had transferred over $30,000 to the suspect before an alert bank employee spoke to the victim and advised them that they were likely

the target of a scam.

No further funds were sent to the suspect.

OPP is reminding the public to never give out any personal information or funds (via gift cards or other forms) to someone you don't know.

To learn about ways to protect yourself from scams and frauds, the OPP encourages community members to stay educated on fraud prevention.

OPINION

August 26th, 2020

Follow the story on social media!

editor@tworowtimes.com

On Tuesday morning a group of demonstrators sat outside the Brantford Superior Courthouse with signs and flags, supporting the occupation of the McKenzie Meadows housing development.

A number of allies were pictured holding signs.

They read, “Land Back”, “Ontario owes the Haudenosaunee so much”, and “Indigenous Sovereignty”.

One person held a sign that read, “We stand in solidarity with Six Nations.”

To stand in solidarity with an entire community on an issue where there is no singular position or consensus is impossible.

The actions and words of the people occupying the McKenzie Meadows work site, while entirely valid and important, do not reflect the totality of Six Nations band membership on this particular project.

This demonstrator does not, in fact, stand with Six Nations — just a certain group of people within our community.

There was a group of about 8 people standing, blocking the doorway to the courthouse with crossed arms and frowned faces. Anyone who has ever been in a fight with a romantic parter will tell you that the first move is to block someone from entering or leaving a room. It is “power-over” behaviour that is implicitly psychologically violent, aiming to intimidate or force anyone seeking to pass-by to either engage in an unwanted confrontation or to avoid the area entirely. It is not peaceful. When the bullying starts, the messaging gets lost.

Unfortunately, Six Nations and Caledonia have been trapped in an abusive relationship where a small group of people pushing confrontation all too often

make national news.

Sadly, it is the same few faces each time things come to a head. The same roads are blocked. The same tactics are used. Six Nations residents who disagree with the radical perspective try to reason and appeal to the greater public only to be steamrolled by cultural gatekeepers who accuse regular non-radical folk of “having no voice”, “being out of the canoe and in the ship” or whatever other Haudenosaunee trope they can bring up to again, assert “power-over” dynamics and silence diversity.

It is inherently psychologically violent toward members of Six Nations and Haldimand to engage in violence, take action to halt traffic, throw stones at cops, burn construction equipment and tires — and then, once you have the attention of the national media and the courts, to refuse to engage in the legal means before you to resolve the issue or be heard when the issue is being adjudicated.

Then they play the victim.

That is the kind of action that has the Caledonia issue stuck on loop. Time and time again the same group of demonstrators block roads and then show up at court angry and silent, opposing the Canadian system, with no legal representation and not taking the time to have their say.

And so far, that group has had zero wins. Every action has been a big flop and has only caused further division at Six Nations, even amongst people who are on the same side of the elected vs hereditary council issue.

It’s not going to be a win for the nation when you make a stand at a

small town Superior Court room and not attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts just because you are a Haudenosaunee person.

That only personifies the problem.

The Canadian justice system and capitalism do not make space for indigenous people to win just on the merits of right to the land being our truth.

These moments are about intentionally pushing boundaries and breaking the law to influence public opinion via the media to shift governments in the direction you want them to go. It is about getting your foot in the door, pushing the envelope to get an injunction so that you can get before a judge and plead your case and go for that halt.

If we look at the win from the NODAPL occupations in Standing Rock — that fight is still in the courts. After months of pushing and pushing — the voices of the Lakota people became too amplified to ignore.

Standing Rock stepped into the courts to take action and just last month a judge ordered oil to stop flowing.

A review is pending and battle is ongoing.

Six Nations obviously has a problem with its accomodation processes.

The Grand River Notification Agreement is a joke in 2020 — in this age of reconcilliation. And the accommodation computation approved by the elected council’s CAP team does not reflect what the people of Six Nations feel is fair for compensation, especially in light of a groomed suburb of 200 fully complete homes going up on the doorstep of our community while we suffer a housing and land shortage.

Supports for human trafficking victims and survivors

By TRT Staff TORONTO — The Ontario government announced frontline victims services organizations will receive $7.65 million over five years in funding for specialized services to support human trafficking victims and survivors as part of the government’s comprehensive anti-human trafficking strategy. A portion of this funding will be directed to Victim Services Toronto, Victim Services of York Region and the province’s other Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario organizations.

Details were provided today by Premier Doug Ford, Attorney General Doug Downey, Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, and Jill Dunlop, Associate Minister of Children and Women’s Issues.

“Through our government’s anti-human trafficking strategy, we are helping young women and children escape a living nightmare and rebuild their lives,” said Premier Ford. “We will continue to work with police to give them the tools and resources they need to go after the thugs responsible for this disgusting crime and put them behind bars where they belong.”

Supports funded through this investment include: Additional funding to the Victim Quick Response Program+ to help human trafficking victims and survivors cover essential expenses, such as accommodation, meals, transportation, dental care, mobile phones and tattoo removal.

Enhanced services under Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario to enable frontline staff across Ontario to address the immediate and local needs of human

trafficking victims and survivors, particularly children and Indigenous persons.

This could include early intervention to help victims transition out of human trafficking, referrals to local programs and increased hours of service.

Expanded funding to the Vulnerable Victims and Family Fund to cover key court-related expenses for human trafficking victims and survivors, including basic necessities such as weather or courtroom-appropriate attire, and costs associated with travel, meals and accommodations.

“Our government is partnering with law enforcement, prosecutors and front-line victim service providers to comprehensively respond to the shocking growth of these crimes,” said Attorney General Downey. “These investments will ensure victims can access dedicated supports and services when and where they need them.”

The funding announced today is part of the government’s anti-human trafficking strategy released in March, which includes a $307 million investment over five years. The comprehensive strategy aims to raise awareness about human trafficking, protect victims and intervene early, support survivors, and hold offenders accountable.

“Human trafficking is a vicious and violent crime that preys on our most vulnerable, robbing them of their health, safety and dignity,” said Solicitor General Jones. “This investment helps ensure victims and survivors have the support they need while we work to combat human trafficking,

hold offenders accountable and end this heinous crime.”

“Supporting victims and survivors is a key commitment in our new anti-human trafficking strategy,” said Associate Minister Dunlop. “Our investment in these agencies will support increased access to a range of trauma-informed services to help victims rebuild their lives. It will also assist them in navigating the justice system so that more traffickers can be held accountable.”

Quick Facts Over two-thirds of police-reported human trafficking violations in Canada occur in Ontario.

Over 70 per cent of known human trafficking victims identified by police are under the age of 25, with 28 per cent under the age of 18.

The average age of recruitment into sex trafficking is 13 years old.

Young women and girls are particularly at risk, especially those from Indigenous communities ― due to the impacts of colonization ― and children and youth in care. Boys, men and people who are LGBTQ2S are also targeted.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the government recently provided an emergency payment of more than $2.7 million to strengthen services for victims of intimate partner violence and other violent crimes.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, an emergency payment of $1.5 million was also made to support Ontario’s Partner Assault Response programs to protect victims of intimate partner violence and hold offenders accountable.

Execution of Native American man stirs emotion within tribe CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Late on a fall evening in 2001, Alyce Slim and her granddaughter stopped at a gas station on the Navajo Nation after searching for a traditional healer for leg ailments.

There, in an area where hitchhiking is common, Slim agreed to give two males a ride. They got into her pewter-colored pickup truck and when she stopped later to let them out, they didn't budge.

Instead, Lezmond Mitchell and Johnny Orsinger stabbed Slim 33 times and placed her lifeless body next to the 9-year-old in the back seat as they drove to an abandoned sheep camp. They told Tiffany Lee to prepare to die and slit her throat.

She was still breathing, so they dropped rocks on her head, killing her, too.

As the 38-year-old Mitchell sits on federal death row, his execution scheduled for Wednesday, the Navajo government is asking officials to spare his life on the basis of cultural beliefs and sovereignty. The stance is pushing up against the wishes of some of the victims' family for the execution to move forward, including Tiffany's parents.

``An eye for an eye,'' the girl's father, Daniel Lee told The Associated Press. ``He took my daughter away, and no remorse or anything like that. The Navajo Nation president, the council, they don't speak for me. I speak for myself and for my daughter.''

Under federal law, Native American tribes can decide whether they want their citizens subjected to the death penalty for a set of crimes involving Natives on tribal land. Nearly all 574 federally recognized tribes, including the Navajo Nation, have opted out.

Mitchell was the first Native American sentenced to death since the resumption of the federal death penalty in 1994 and the only Native American currently awaiting execution. He ended up on death row because he was convicted of carjacking resulting in death _ a crime that carries the possibility of capital punishment regardless of where it happens.

His upcoming execution is the first of a handful set after the government said it would carry out executions following an informal 17-year moratorium. The case has stirred emotion among tribal members and painful reminders of the grisly crime.

Mitchell and others

used Slim's truck in an armed robbery. He and Orsinger returned to where they dumped the two bodies, mutilated them and buried some of the remains while dragging others into the woods. They burned the victims' belongings and washed their knives in a stream nearby.

Days later, tribal police found the pickup truck abandoned in Tsaile where many tribal members make a living by ranching, farming and doing arts and crafts. Mitchell and others tried to torch the truck, but the windows were rolled up and the fire had no oxygen. ``All they did was make a smoky mess on the interior of the truck and leaving all the relevant evidence related to the murder, the carjacking and the robbery behind,'' said former FBI agent McDonald Rominger, who worked the case.

Navajo Nation lawmaker Carl Slater, whose grandparents testified against the death penalty in Mitchell's case, said the details of the crime make defining a just punishment uncomfortable. Still, the tribal government has asked President Donald Trump to grant Mitchell clemency. ``We can never lose sight of the big picture, be forward-looking,'' Slater

said. ``Every action creates precedent, especially when you're a governing body. This is not just going to impact the Navajo Nation. It's going to impact all of Indian Country.''

More than a dozen tribal leaders across the country and individual Native Americans have supported the Navajo government's request.

Federal criminal jurisdiction on tribal land dates back to 1885 and stems from Congress' displeasure over how one tribal nation settled a killing with restitution to the victim's family — money, horses and a blanket. The federal authority is still disputed today.

Slim's daughter and Tiffany's mother, Marlene Slim, initially opposed putting Mitchell to death.

The tribe has used her previous statements in pushing for Mitchell's sentence to be reduced to life in prison.

Earlier this month, attorneys for some of Slim's family and Lee wrote to tribal officials saying they support the federal government's efforts to carry out the execution. ``Mr. Mitchell's actions destroyed this family,'' the letter read. ``Mr. Mitchell did not consider or have any respect for the Navajo cultural teachings that

stress the sanctity of life.''

Mitchell has long maintained he wasn't the aggressor in the killings.

Orsinger, now 35, had a criminal record but was a juvenile at the time and could not be sentenced to death. He is serving life in prison in Atlanta.

Letters that Mitchell's attorneys submitted as part of the clemency petition paint him as a troubled kid who was shuffled around homes but was high-achieving, played varsity football and was a problem-solver. ``He was a good kid and he always took care of the children, always protected the children, so when he was involved in a crime against a child, it was really hard to believe,'' said Mitchell's uncle, Auska Mitchell.

Putting Mitchell to death would ``break my heart,'' he said. ``I do hope that things change ... What's even worse is I can't see the guy.''

Mitchell has lost all of his appeals so far, a point U.S. Attorney General William Barr reiterated in announcing Mitchell's latest execution date. ``The Justice Department upholds the rule of law, and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system,'' Barr has said.

Alyce Slim was nearing retirement after driving a school bus for 30 years in the district around the Navajo Nation capital of Window Rock in Arizona.

Family, friends and her co-workers spent days searching for her and Tiffany when they didn't return home from their trip and posted pictures of them around the region.

Julie McCabe, whose sister was close friends with Marlene Slim, said Alyce Slim was gracious, strong, spiritual and hard-working. She had a way of speaking to others without making them feel inadequate or small, McCabe said. ``And the students on her route were just very lovable to her,'' McCabe said.

Marlene Slim lamented shortly after the deaths that she would miss out on watching Tiffany grow.

Mitchell's attorneys declined a request to interview him. They have made multiple requests lately to delay his execution as they argued over protocol and sought to interview jurors over potential racial bias. ``If the execution were to proceed, Mr. Mitchell will be the first, and only, Native American sentenced to death and executed by the federal government in modern history,'' his attorneys said.

of this year, the Hope for Wellness Help Line, which provides telephone and online support for First Nations, Inuit and Metis in a number of Indigenous languages, received over 10,000 calls and chats from people seeking crisis intervention services.

This represents a 178 per cent increase in demand compared to the same time period in 2019.

Also, the First Nations Health Authority in B.C. reported last month that First Nations overdose deaths almost doubled between January and May of this year.

Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller acknowledged Tuesday that a disparity exists between mental wellness support available to Indigenous and non-Indigenous peo-

ple in Canada and called this situation unacceptable. ``The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the situation,'' Miller said. ``Sustained, targeted investment is needed to ensure that culturally safe mental wellness services remain available and community-driven, culturally appropriate and timely mental health supports are critical to the well-being for anyone struggling to cope with the added stress and anxiety that the COVID-19 pandemic has created.''

The new federal funding will support access to additional services, such as transitioning some services to virtual platforms to meet increased demand.

It will also support Indigenous partners in developing new ways to address substance use and to improve access to treatment and it will work to expand access to culturally appropriate services such as on-the-land activities, community-based health supports and mental wellness teams.

The new funds are a response to calls from many First Nations, Inuit and Metis leaders who have been pushing for more mental health supports in their communities, Miller said.

Intergenerational trauma suffered by many Indigenous people due to Canada's history of colonialism and mistreatment of Canada's First Peoples is already a deeply

difficult issue to address when it comes to mental health treatment, said Dr. Tom Wong, chief medical officer of public health for Indigenous Services Canada The additional anxiety of the COVID-19 pandemic has only made things worse, he said.

The negative effects of COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions have also led to increased rates of family violence against women and have also caused further isolation of Indigenous youth and those in the LGBTQ+ and two-spirit communities. ``We all need to be standing behind First Nations, Metis and Inuit in responding to the mental wellness, mental health

crisis in Canada. It is extremely important that we stand behind them so that no communities are left behind,'' Wong said.

Funding will be allocated to First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities based on discussions among national and regional partnership tables or regional governing leaders.

There will also be some funds remaining to enable surge capacity and adaptation among national organizations and services, such as the Thunderbird Partnership Foundation, First Peoples Wellness Circle and Hope for Wellness Line.

OTTAWA - The federal government is pledging $82.5 million to improve access and address growing demand for mental health services in Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Access to many mental health services within Indigenous communities have been disrupted due to the pandemic, while some services have shifted to virtual and telehealth treatment options, creating obstacles for those living in remote communities that have limited connectivity.

Meanwhile, demand for services has surged.

Kansas City Chiefs to prohibit Native American imagery at Arrowhead KANSAS CITY — The Kansas City Chiefs will prohibit the wearing of Native American headdresses, face paint and clothing at Arrowhead Stadium.

They also are discussing the future of the iconic tomahawk chop as they address what many consider racist imagery associated with their

franchise.

The team said in a statement Thursday that the changes came after conversations with national organizations that work closely on issues that affect Native Americans. They also come on the heels of the NFL team in Washington choosing to drop Redskins as its

nickname after a long and often contentious dialogue with fans and the public. ``In 2014, we began a dialogue with a group of local leaders form diverse American Indian backgrounds and experiences,'' the team said in its statement. ``As an organization, our goal was a better understanding of issues

facing American Indian communities in our region and explore opportunities to raise awareness of American Indian cultures and celebrate the rich traditions of tribes with a historic connection to the Kansas City area.''

In response to that initial collaboration, the Chiefs began celebrating American Indian Heritage Month by inviting elders to a game each year, and having them do a ceremonial ``Blessing of the Drum and the Four Directions of Arrowhead Stadium.''

Those discussions also led to the Chiefs discouraging the wearing of ceremonial headdresses and face paint, though they were still seen throughout Arrowhead Stadium on game days. Now, those fans wearing often elaborate headdresses and face paint will be stopped at the gate and prohibited from entering the facility.

The Chiefs also said they are ``engaged in a thorough review process of the Arrowhead Chop,'' which is also used by fans of the Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Braves and other sports teams. The team also hopes to shift

the focus of the war drum that is pounded at the start of games to ``something that symbolizes the heartbeat of the stadium.'' ``We are exploring all options for a modified engagement moment from the Drum Deck that maintains a unifying effect between our fans and our players but better represents the spiritual significance of the drum,'' the team said.

The Chiefs, who are named after former Mayor Harold Roe ``Chief'' Bartle, have made other changes throughout the years to distance themselves from Native American imagery.

The pinto horse named Warpaint that rides onto the field was originally ridden by a man in full Native American headdress, but for years has been ridden by a cheerleader instead.

Despite the changes, there have continued to be occasional demonstrations, protests and public outcry at Chiefs games at home and on the road.

Native Americans sought to have the Arizona Cardinals bar face paint when the Chiefs visited several years ago, and protests

took place in Minnesota in 2015 before a game against the Vikings.

Officials and students at nearby Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, asked the Chiefs to ban behaviour that invokes stereotypes amid their 2016 playoff run. And when the franchise won its first Super Bowl in 50 years in February, it once again put the subject of tradition versus racism at the forefront of the national consciousness.

The team did not address its nickname, its logo of ``KC'' inside an arrowhead, or the name of Arrowhead Stadium itself in its statement Thursday.

But it did say that it was exploring the creation of a formalized education program, and it promised to continue discussions with Native American groups moving forward. ``We are grateful for the meaningful conversations we have had with all of these American Indian leaders,'' the team said. ``It is important we continue the dialogue on these significant topics and we look forward to continuing to work together.''

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — ``Schitt's Creek'' star and co-creator Daniel Levy is taking a free University of Alberta course called Indigenous Canada _ and he wants others to join him.

The Toronto-raised actor, writer and showrunner promoted the online course in a video on his social media.

Levy said he recently signed up for the course, which has 12 lessons that explore Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada.

The university's website says the course is told from an Indigenous perspective and highlights national and local Indigenous-settler relations.

Levy said he plans to host weekly discussions with the course professors, starting this Sunday afternoon.

The comedy creator is

up for four trophies at next month's Emmy Awards for the CBC comedy ``Schitt's Creek,'' which has a total of 15 nominations for its sixth and final season. ``I thought if I am going to sign up and learn, maybe some other people would want to join me and we could do this as a group,'' Levy said in his social media video. ``So every week I'm going to be hosting discussions and Q-and-A's with the profs so that we could better understand and delve deeper into the curriculum. ``Because if you're anything like me, I was not a good student and I need group support, and I thought this could be a really great way of doing that.''

Levy added: ``If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we need to actively relearn history — history that wasn't taught to us in school — to better understand and contextualize our lives and how we can better support and be of service to each other.''

Teen found safe SYDNEY, N.S. — A 47-year-man has appeared in court on one count of abducting a child in connection with the disappearance of a 14-year-old Cape Breton Indigenous teenager who was recently found safe.

The man appeared before Nova Scotia Provincial Court in Sydney on Monday and did not enter a plea, said Chris Hansen with the Public Prosecution Service. He will remain in custody until his bail hearing on Wednesday, she said.

Police said they located the girl and the man in an isolated part of Cape Breton around 1 a.m. Saturday.

The RCMP was heavily criticized for only issuing a localized alert for the girl a week after she disappeared. The Native Women's Association of Canada said police did not act with enough urgency to find her, and thousands signed a petition to have the RCMP issue an Amber Alert.

'I'm so sorry:' Father of toddler found dead outside church sentenced CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

EDMONTON — A man who was convicted of manslaughter in his young son's death was sentenced Tuesday to 9 1/2 years in prison after apologizing to the rest of the boy's family.

Joey Crier and his then-girlfriend, Tasha-Lee Doreen Mack, were each charged with second-degree murder in the death of 19-month-old Anthony Joseph Raine. The toddler's lifeless body was found outside Edmonton's Good Shepherd Anglican Church in 2017.

Crier and Mack were each found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter in separate trials.

Crier, 29, appeared by video Tuesday in Court of Queen's Bench for his sentencing hearing. ``I'm truly and deeply sorry that this tragedy has even happened in the first place,'' Crier wrote in a statement entered into the court record before he was sentenced. ``I'm so sorry.''

Court also heard victim impact statements from Anthony's mother, uncle and a court worker. ``I trusted this guy with my son,'' Dalyce Raine said in her statement that was read by a friend. ``I didn't want to believe it that my son was gone. Nobody knows how much I miss him.''

She said Crier doesn't know how much he took from her. ``He had no right to do that,'' said Raine. ``I just

want to know why. Why couldn't he just give him back to me instead of putting him through the pain and hurt?''

Crier said in his statement that he let ugliness into his life and that he failed as a father. ``I failed and I've cried every night for the last 39 months,'' he wrote. ``One can only apologize so many times before it loses its meaning. ``But I'll be saying and will be sorry for the rest of my life to every one of you.''

Video entered into evidence showed Crier and Mack pushing a stroller around the church three days before Anthony's body was found propped up against an outer wall of the building.

A passerby noticed the boy and ran into the

church distraught and crying. Women in the church who then ran outside to help testified about finding Anthony covered in a blue patchwork quilt.

They weren't able to find a pulse.

The women saw bruising on his face and saw blood coming out of his ear.

Following an extensive investigation, police arrested Crier and Mack.

Court heard they had used methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana in the weeks before the child died.

Medical experts testified Anthony's cause of death was related to head trauma.

The Crown and the defence jointly submitted that Crier should spend 9 1/2 years in prison, with credit for time served, and

extra credit for time in protective custody.

Justice David Labrenz said he agreed with the recommendation. ``Anthony was Mr. Crier's son, and Mr. Crier was obligated to protect his son _ not harm him,'' the judge said as he read his decision. ``Mr. Crier did nothing to protect Anthony from further harm.''

Labrenz said he accepted the findings of a Gladue report, which takes into account the circumstances of Indigenous offenders. It showed Crier had a difficult childhood and turned to substance abuse at a young age. ``I have no doubt that the use of crystal methamphetamine contributed to the assault and offences themselves,'' Labrenz said. ``It manifested itself in Mr. Crier's apparent lack

of caring or empathy for Anthony. ``This does not excuse Mr. Crier's own conduct.''

Crier's overall sentence was reduced by 6 1/2 years, because he has been assaulted in jail and has spent much of his time there segregated in protective custody. It means three years remain on Crier's sentence. ``Mr. Crier, I know you are going to have some time to think about what you've done,'' the judge said at the end of the hearing. ``I hope that you use this opportunity to better yourself. ``You will be aware that many in the community are justifiably shocked by what you did.''

Mack was previously sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison for her role in the child's death.

Interesting Mosquito Facts ...

Did you know that human WNV risk increases and is often highest in August because the percentage of WNV positive mosquitoes is highest as the season progresses. This is because the mosquitoes have fed multiple times and the chance that they have fed from a WNV infected bird has increased. In addition to WNV testing, we also test mosquitoes for other diseases, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEv).

Throughout the years, there have been many prominent Indigenous legends who have made their mark in Major League Baseball.

While baseball fans might be familiar with more modern players such as former pitchers Joba Chamberlain (Winnebago), Kyle Lohse (Nomlaki Wintun) and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (Navajo), chances are they wouldn’t be too familiar with the early Native American players who made their debuts over a hundred years ago. These include players such as Louis Sockalexis (Penobscot tribe), who made his major league debut in 1897 followed a year later by Bill Phyle (Lakota) before Chief Bender (Ojibwe) on April 20, 1903 started his career.

Sockalexis, who had the nickname, ‘The Deerfoot of the Diamond’ and was a proud member of the Penobscot Tribe, made history when from 18971899 he was credited with becoming the first Native American to compete in major league baseball.

This left- handed batter who played his entire three- year career as an outfielder for the Cleveland Spiders, ended up with a career .313 batting average with three homeruns and 55 RBI’s.

After signing on March 9th, 1897, Sockalexis officially made history on

Louis Sockalexis, who was referred to as ‘The Deerfoot of the Diamond’ officially made his professional baseball debut in 1897 as an outfielder with the Cleveland Spiders. Sockalexis, who totaled three years in the majors, played a total of 94 games where he scored a total of 54 runs, 115 hits, three homeruns, 55 RBI’s and a .313 average.

April 22nd when he took the field for his Spiders major league debut.

Showing some strong potential, Sockalexis played 66 games in his rookie campaign where he produced a respectable .338 batting average with three homeruns and 42 RBI’s along with 16 stolen bases. Unfortunately, this slugging outfielder battled alcoholism which had a strong effect on his career.

During his second year, Sockalexis played in only 21 games where in 67 at bats, he had 15 hits, 11 runs, 8 stolen bases with a .224 batting average. A year later, in his final season, he competed in seven games where in 22 plate appearance he had six hits an RBI and a .273 batting average.

For his career Sockalexis totaled 94 games where in 367 at bats he scored 54 runs, 115 hits, 12 doubles, 8 triples, 3

homeruns, 55 RBI’s, 16 stolen bases and a .313 batting average.

After being released by Cleveland, Sockalexis had a brief stint in the minor leagues.

Though Sockalexis was credited with being the first Native American to play pro ball, some historians have argued that catcher Jim Toy was actually the first. Meanwhile, Chief Yellow Horse, who made his mark in the early 1920’s is credited as being the first full-bloodied American native to have made his mark in the major leagues. Moses J. “Chief” Yellow Horse, who represented the Pawnee tribe, pitched with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1921 and 1922 seasons where in those two years he registered an 8-4 record with a 3.93 ERA and 43 strikeouts.

BRANTFORD — Brantford Red Sox 15U Tier 2 player Marc General is finally back doing what he loves, which is playing ball!

After not playing for most of the summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this athlete was back on the diamond in August playing in what will be a month- long baseball season with no tournaments or playoffs to follow.

“Marc provides us with an extra pitcher,” Brantford manager Cory Hill said.

“He throws hard and has great skills. Marc also has a good bat. He’s swinging the bat a lot better.”

Playing at home on Wednesday, August 19th at George Henry Park, Nathan Hill started in what turned out to be a 6-0 win against the Ancaster Diamondbacks which got Brantford back to the .500 mark.

Along with standout pitching, Brantford also showed great patience at the plate and got some stellar defence including a couple of standout plays at third base from General who showed great athleticism.

“I’m excited to play again,” General said. When asked what he likes best about playing ball, he stated, “I like batting the best. I’m just happy to be playing.”

Several Indigenous players and coach chasing the Stanley Cup NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

To say it’s been an unusual NHL season would be the king of understatements.

In normal times, the month of August signifies players ramping up their workouts and getting ready for training camp.

Saying that, everyone knows these aren’t exactly normal times as the NHL strangely enough kicked off on August 1. the 2020 NHL playoffs.

During normal times, playoffs begin in mid April, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that is certainly not the case.

Back on March 12, the league suspended play and it wasn’t decided until months later that there would in fact be playoffs, only with a different kind of twist. Instead of the usual format of 16 teams participating, this year’s setup had 24 of the 31 teams competing with Eastern Conference series being played at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and Western Conference series at Edmonton’s Rogers Place.

When August 1st rolled around, and playoffs were set to begin, there were six talented Indigenous players and an Indigenous coach who were among those set to compete with their respective teams for the Stanley Cup. Coach Craig Berube, who is Cree made his mark last year by taking in November 2018, a struggling St. Louis Blues team and leading them to the 2019 Stanley Cup. Among the talented Indigenous players competing for the Cup are such prominent names such as Washington

Capitals forward T.J. Oshie, Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price, Vegas Golden Knights Zach Whitecloud, Vancouver Canucks agitator Michael Ferland, Edmonton Oilers defenceman Ethan Bear and Florida Panthers defenceman Brady Keeper.

“Personally, it’s unbelievable to see it,” Anthony Keeper, said about watching his son play.

“I can’t even rate it.

I’m just trying to control my nerves. I can’t even sit down here and watch the game. I’m pacing back and forth, going inside and outside.”

Brady Keeper, who is from Cross Lake Manitoba, actually played this season in the American Hockey League’s Springfield Thunderbirds where he scored six goals and 18 points with 108 penalty minutes. It wasn’t until Game 2 of the Panthers qualifiers playoff series against the New York Islanders that Keeper, made his post season debut.

“The chief went on the radio to let the people know what the plan was.

Some of the offices closed before 11 a.m. this morning to watch the game and reopen after lunch,” Anthony Keeper said. “It’s a special day, I guess, for everybody around here.”

Florida ended up losing Game 2 by a 4-2 score and eventually were eliminated in four games of a best three out of five series.

Meanwhile currently thriving in post season play has been Vegas Golden Knights Zach Whitecloud, who in early August celebrated his first ever NHL goal while registering a team high five hits in his team’s 6-4 playoff round-robin win against the defending Stanley Cup champions St. Louis Blues.

“It’s definitely fun to contribute, and obviously at a time like that (third period, playoffs) but at the end of the day, you score your first one and you’ve just got to get back to work right away,” Whitecloud said. Whitecloud, who is the pride and joy of Dakota Sioux Nation went on to add, “Yeah, it’s definitely exciting, and enjoy the

moment, but get back to work right away.”

During this playoff run, he has played in eight games and has scored a goal and an assist along with seven shots on goal.

The Golden Knights will be counting on him as they are about to face a real test during semi- finals action against the Vancouver Canucks.

Another talented aboriginal defenceman who got some playoff experience was 23 -year-old rookie Ethan Bear. Selected in the fifth round, 124th overall in the 2015 draft by Edmonton, Bear, was raised on the Ochapowace Cree Nation in Saskatchewan. Bear had a solid rookie season which saw him score five goals and 21 points in 71 games. In his first taste of Stanley Cup playoff action, Bear played in all four games and registered three shots on goal and a minus four rating in a playoff loss against the Chicago Blackhawks.

“Bearsy is always looking to learn. Always looking to find ways to

how some may not get qualifying offers, it was Friedman who brought up Montour’s name.

“You know who I heard is going to be that guy too maybe? Brandon Montour in Buffalo,” Friedman said.

Marek responded to that comment by saying, “I heard that.”

Montour, who on February 24th 2019, was traded from the Anaheim Ducks to the Sabres, played in 54

regular season games this year where he chipped in with five goals and 18 points. Proving to be strong defensively he finished the shortened season with a steady +13 rating which isn’t bad for a rebuilding team.

Since coming over from Anaheim for prospect Brendan Guhle and a first round pick, Montour has scored eight goals, 28 points and a +9 in 74

games. According to Cap Friendly website, Montour’s qualifying offer would be in the $3.525 million dollar range.

During this past trade deadline, Montour's name came up in several rumors including those involving the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Only time will tell if next season he is still wearing the Sabres sweater.

make his game better,” Bear’s defence partner Darnell Nurse said. “That’s what made him so good this year.”

Coming off another strong regular season was Washington Capitals star forward T.J. Oshie who in 69 games played scored 25 goals and 49 points.

Looking for his second Stanley Cup, Oshie this spring had three goals but was a minus seven in the Capitals quarter-finals playoff series loss against the New York Islanders.

Oshie, who is Ojibwe enjoyed his greatest playoff moment in 2018 when he scored eight goals and 21 points in making history by helping the Capitals win the Stanley Cup. History was made as Oshie was the first indigenous player to win.

The Vancouver Canucks suffered a huge blow in the playoffs qualifier round when agitating forward Michael Ferland was injured and couldn’t continue after a Game 2 injury against the Minnesota Wild. This 27-yearold Cree forward played in 14 regular season games with the Canucks where he scored a goal and five points. Unfortunately for Canucks fans, Ferland went home after the injury and will not be back.

Perhaps the most popular Indigenous player in today’s game is Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price. Coming off a strong season which saw Price post 27 wins along with a nifty 2.79 G.A.A., he proved to be money in the playoffs.

This 33- year-old who is member of Ulkatcho First Nation in British Columbia, had two playoff shutouts, but couldn’t prevent a heartbreaking quarterfinals playoff Game

6 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers. Price was a big reason why the Habs defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in the qualifiers before losing to the Flyers. In 10 playoff starts this year, Price had a 5-5 record with a 1.78 G.A.A. and a .936 save percentage along with the two shutouts.

“It’s not easy to beat Price,” Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault said.

Looking for his second straight Stanley Cup was St. Louis Blues head coach Craig Berube who is affectionately known as ‘Chief.’

This former NHL enforcer from Calahoo Alberta, was hired as the Blues coach in November 2018, and has never looked back.

With the Chief behind the bench, St. Louis enjoyed last year an 11game winning streak in both January and February as they went on last spring to defeat the Boston Bruins in the finals and win the franchise first Stanley Cup. “I’m so happy for the city and the fans here.

They deserve it,” Berube said at the time. “But more than anything I’m so happy for our players because of how hard they’ve played, the character and leadership coming through, winning that cup.”

There will be no repeat for Berube as the defending Stanley Cup champions were recently ousted in their quarter finals against the Vancouver Canucks.

You can bet that with Ferland injured and with all these other players eliminated from Stanley Cup competition, that Indigenous hockey fans will be rooting for Whitecloud in hopes that he can become the aboriginal player to win the Stanley Cup.

Brandon Montour could get a qualifying offer from the Sabres

Notice of Study Commencement

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment County Of Brant Cainsville Water and Wastewater Servicing Engage with us!

The County of Brant invites you to engage with us as we begin to study and evaluate ways to provide water and wastewater servicing to the entire Cainsville community.

The County of Brant is undertaking a Schedule ‘C’ Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Water and Wastewater servicing in the Cainsville community. The study will be completed in accordance with the Class EA process (Municipal Engineers Association, June 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) and the County of Brant Official Plan and in light of the Boundary Adjustment Agreement with the City of Brantford.

Most of the existing Cainsville developed areas are on the municipal water system and have sanitary service via local sanitary sewers and the existing Cainsville Lagoon. Some existing residential and employment areas are on private wells and/or septic systems.

The Class EA will consider and evaluate alternatives to provide water and wastewater servicing to the entire Cainsville community as shown in the map. This includes expanding services to currently unserviced areas within the settlement boundary. It will identify the preferred drinking water supply, storage and distribution alternative and the preferred wastewater treatment and sanitary sewage collection alternative to prepare for long term growth through to the 2051 horizon.

Public consultation is important to the success of this study. We are interested in receiving your comments.

Opportunity for public input will be provided throughout the study, with direct mailings to review agencies and members of the public who have indicated interest. In addition, Public Information Centres (PICs) will be conducted to present the project information and considered alternatives (following Provincial and County social and physical distancing requirements). At the completion of the study, a project file will be made available for 30day public review.

For further information relating to this project or to be added to the project mailing list, please contact either of the following members of the study team.

This Notice was first issued on August 13, 2020.

Indigenous boy needing health care was discriminated against: adjudicator CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — A human rights adjudicator has ruled that the Manitoba government discriminated against a disabled Indigenous boy by not providing adequate health care.

The province has been ordered to pay the boy and his mother $42,500.

The case centres on Alfred (Dewey) Pruden, who was 16 years old when his human rights complaint was heard last year.

Pruden was born with a neurological disorder, is on the autism spectrum, and suffers from vision loss and poor motor skills.

The hearing was told the province provided some health care services, but denied others on the basis that the federal government is responsible

CELEBRATION OF NATIONS

for health care in First Nations communities.

Adjudicator Robert Dawson ruled Pruden did not get the care he needed, because of the jurisdictional divide between the federal and provincial governments. ``No government or other official intended to treat the complainants differently by reason of their ancestry as Anishinaabe people,'' Dawson wrote in his 20-page decision. ``However, that was the very effect of the whole of the assorted policies, practices, and even laws that try to carve out the concurrent jurisdiction of the federal and provincial governments in respect of health care and related services for First Nations people living in First Nations communities.''

Dawson said the end result was that Pruden, who's a member of

the Pinaymootang First Nation, 220 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, received less help than a non-Indigenous person in his situation would have. ``Those intergovernmental arrangements caused health care and related services to be denied, delayed, or intermittently interrupted for the complainants. The same problems did not afflict neighbouring non-First Nations communities and those residents enjoyed health care and related services without denial, delay, or interruption.''

The complainants had sought more money, including $200,000 in estimated future lost wages for the mother, who had changed jobs to have more time to care for her son.

The adjudicator rejected that request.
