Nurse fired, coroner to investigate after dying Indigenous woman taunted STAFF REPORT

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A nurse has been fired after an Indigenous woman who was dying Monday night in hospital was subjected to degrading remarks, Quebec's premier said Tuesday. The Quebec coroner's office confirmed it will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Joyce Echaquan, a mother of seven who had gone to the hospital in Joliette, Que., northeast of Montreal, complaining of stomach pains. Before the Atikamekw woman's death, she filmed herself from her hospital bed while she was in clear distress and pleaded for help. Toward the end of the video, two female hospital staff can be seen entering her room and are heard making insulting comments, saying she's ``stupid as hell,'' that she's only good for sex and better off dead. Amid protests from Echaquan, a staff member tells her she made poor choices and asks what her children would think to see her in that state. ``That's why I came here,'' Echaquan can be heard replying quietly. The video circulated

widely on the internet, prompting widespread indignation and a call from the Quebec chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Ghislain Picard, for the government to address a culture of racism. ``A coroner's inquest should not be an opportunity for the government to shirk its responsibilities,'' Picard said Tuesday. He made the comments during a virtual news conference, during which he presented his organization's plan to address racism and discrimination in the province. ``A coroner's report will not change anything about the racism displayed by

nurses. It is a question of attitude and a question of culture.'' The Council of the Atikamekw Nation said discrimination in public services is unfortunately still far too prevalent and the video shot by the deceased woman ``reveals disturbing condescension and racist remarks'' from staff. ``It is unfortunate that in 2020 such behaviours can still occur,'' Grand Chief Constant Awashish said in a statement. ``It is everyone's responsibility to denounce them, especially in the context of health services and whose ethics should protect us

from the discomfort of racism.'' Verna Polson, the leader of the Anoshnabeg Nation, said the video left her angry. ``I am also sad at the thought that her children this morning no longer have a mother,'' she said Tuesday at the news conference with Picard. ``This systemic racism that exists today in Quebec, we, the Aboriginal women, live it every day.'' Legault offered his condolences to the family Tuesday in Quebec City, confirming a nurse at the hospital had been fired. And while he admitted racism exists in the prov-

ince, he would not qualify the situation as an example of systemic racism. ``What happened is totally unacceptable,'' Legault said. ``There will be two inquiries and the nurse did something unacceptable and she has been fired.'' Legault said in addition to the coroner, the regional health authority will investigate the death. In Ottawa, Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said his thoughts were with the family and community members. ``The best case scenario is this person died at the hands of a racist and the worst case scenario is much worse, it makes you think about criminality and it's why we need to get a full inquest into what happened.'' Miller said what happened wasn't an isolated event. ``What is gut-wrenching about this, is someone who is in their most vulnerable and they're dying, having heard racist words expressed towards them,'' Miller said. ``I can only imagine the impact that can have on Indigenous communities and it's part of a pattern that's existing and we have to eliminate that pattern, we have to keep fighting against that pattern.''

SIX NATIONS - These days of COVID-19 have caused us all to rethink a lot of things we otherwise may not have. In some cases that can be a bad thing, but when it comes to providing locally grown produce to the Six Nations community, going back is the best way forward. The Six Nations Farmers Association is reinventing itself to better serve the needs of the Six Nations community. There has been a farmers association of some sort in place at Six Nations for more than 125 years, but there seems to be a new urgency in the ever-changing farming landscape of locally grown produce. The rebranded Six Nations Farmers Association is now looking at ways to improve its efficiency and goals for the community. The plan is to standardize and encourage use of the Burtch farmlands. "The Six Nations Farmers Association is request-

ing community support to farm the Burtch property for the next five years to supply the sustenance. needs of the community," says organizers. "Immediate action is needed now as the Burtch is overgrown with weeds and the soil needs to be worked now to make the ground ready for the spring growing season.” According to SNFA president Frank Montour, “it’s a way to help each other and to help support other farmers with shared equipment, knowledge and even manpower when needed.” The official vision statement for the group states its purpose is “to reinforce the roll of agriculture as a sustainable economic and cultural in our Six Nations of the Grand River Community. “ There is a strategy in place to help them reach those objectives. To raise the profile pf the Six Nations Farmers Association through communication strategies, and formalize operations so as to promote fairness, clarity and efficiency in decision making and accountability.

To encourage cooperation and understanding among and between Six Nations and area farmers. To undertake research and develop joint initiatives in marketing, crop storage and other farming activities with Six Nations and other local farmers as they arise. To do all things that are necessarily ancillary to farming operations or to the hiring and paying of staff; the leasing and buying of equipment and

the seeking of funds from private and public sources. The plan is to link with Six Nations community members, Indian Agriculture Programs of Ontario, First Nations Agricultural Group, Six Nations Elected Council, the Confederacy Council and Mutual Assistance among farmers.

Who was the white man of Whiteman’s Creek JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The area just south of Paris, Ontario known as Whiteman’s Creek has carried that name since long before the towns of Brantford and Paris were formed. The first written account of this area was captured by a Jesuit Priest and his team of explorer/ evangelists in 1630. At that time he recorded a vast village known as Kandoucho, located somewhere near present day Brantford. He renamed it, “All Saints Village”. He writes about another large Onkwehonwe (Native) stronghold, known as Andrachoch living at the mouth of what is now Whiteman’s Creek. He encountered no whites at all on his journey through the Grand River area. According to a Globe and Mail article which ran in 1948, the Pottfruff family who later settled the region, found several arrow points, a stone moccasin molding last as well

as flint chards and British coins from 1837 when the first known excavation of this site was done. It is believed the Neutrals, as they were known, were driven out of this region by the Mohawks, around 1626. Although used from then on as a hunting ground under their control, Mohawk and other tribes did not actually occupy the area in abundance. The Mississauga Ojibwa did, and were peacefully living in numbers and hunting along what became known as the Grand, or Ouse, River. According to the earliest records, this arrangement became enshrined in the “Bowl with One Spoon” wampum agreement, stating that peaceful hunting parties from all tribes and Nations were welcome to the abundance of the Creator, without harassment, but could not settle. When the white settlers began to arrive in waves, they too selected lands close to the river, bringing with them small-pox and other diseases which

killed nine out of 10 in Onkwehonwe families. Many of the original occupants of Whiteman’s Creek had buried their belongings in the forest nearby and evacuated to more established, and safer reserves. Their burial grounds still lies undisturbed near what is now Five Oaks Camp, hidden behind a little knoll, behind the embankment, deep in the woods. That is the only description given. According to a 1910 publication by the Brant Historical Society, a

settler boy was raised by Mohawks in New York in 1750. He was named Dehanagerehgwenk. While growing up, he had chance to meet and become friends with Joseph Brant. He became a travel companion of Brant’s on several of his trips into what is now Southwestern Ontario. According to the book, Herons and Cobblestone, when the Six Nations moved to the Grand River Valley, Dehanagerehgwenk came with them and was given land including the Whiteman’s Creek region.

He built a log cabin nearby the mouth of the creek and became known as the white man of Whiteman’s Creek. There is another story involving a white woman who, is said, was also captured at a young age by "Mohawk Indians" (sic)and grew up as a white-skinned Mohawk. Her name was Jamieson or Jemison. She married a Mohawk and later, Dehanagerehgwenk married their daughter. In that culture, the woman’s name is taken in marriage. Today’s Six Nations Jamiesons are descendants of this woman. (Ed. note: It should be noted that capturing people was a form of ancient Indigenous justice which usually occured after a murder had occured by another nation. To recoup the loss, the person who was murdered was replaced. Without proper cultural context it sounds like Indigenous people kidnapped people at random which is not true. This concept of replacing people was echoed

in HBO's The Game of Thrones with Theon Greyjoy.) A third story is also in print in an 1883 Warner and Beers publIshed book History of the County of Brant. In it is the story of Chief Josiah Hill, former secretary for the Six Nations Confederacy, born 1843, the son of Abraham and Mary Hill. It is said that Abraham Hill’s father is the origin of the name of Whiteman’s Creek. He was a white man rewarded for his alliance with the British during the Revolutionary War and given land in the same locality, supposedly by Joseph Brant as well. Abraham was said to have been born there, fathered by a Tuscarora woman named Hill. He had sons of which Richard and Josiah survived into adulthood. Take your pick. They are all interesting.

Hiring marginalized workers could jump start economy STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy was headed for slowing growth in the next decade even if COVID-19 had never hit, according to a new report by Deloitte Canada. The report, which looks at more than 1,000 variables to predict how Canada's economy will look in 2030, suggests that the country will need more workers _ with greater productivity _ to get the economy chugging at a fast enough pace to pay for climate change initiatives and government investments without raising taxes. ``We believe Canada is the best place in the world to live and work and do industry. If we continue on our current path, that is compromised or in jeopardy,'' said Deloitte Canada chief executive Anthony Viel. The consulting and audit firm's report comes as the government is laying out ambitious plans to

spur the economy forward after the COVID-19 pandemic _ and ensuing lockdown _ left a record number of Canadians jobless. Last week's speech from the throne suggested that the government will look toward clean energy investments, as well as disability and jobless supports, in its recovery plan. Deloitte Canada did not directly address the throne speech in its report. But the firm predicts even a complete return to pre-pandemic ``normal'' would cause economic growth to slow to 1.7 per cent per year in the next decade. That's below the past decade's average of 2.2 per cent growth _ which was already lower than the 3.2 per cent growth in the decade leading to the 2008 and 2009 recession. Amid a low fertility rate _ at a time when the share of Canadians over age 65 is expected to nearly double _ Canada needs to be more inclusive of groups that are underemployed in the economy, the report found. Getting marginalized groups

better integrated in the workforce can grow the tax base and help the government avoid raising tax rates, said Georgina Black, Deloitte Canada's managing partner of government and public services. Deloitte's forecast suggests that the country could replace its retiring workforce by improving employment options for 88,500 women; 377,300 Canadians over age 65; 700,000 immigrants; 517,657 people with disabilities; and between 38,000 and 59,000 Indigenous Canadians. The theory, Deloitte's report said, is that boosting the number of hours worked in the economy would lift the pace of yearly economic growth by 50 per cent, adding $4,900 to Canadians' average annual income by 2030, Deloitte estimated. For instance, Deloitte cited a survey suggesting that more than 600,000 Canadians with disabilities said they would look for work if minor workplace barriers were removed. ``Many of these in-

equalities have worsened during the pandemic, with women and under-represented groups far more likely to become unemployed than men or non-racialized groups,'' the report said. Deloitte suggests companies need better disability accommodations and workplace inclusion policies, and should add childcare as a benefit package, noting that during COVID-19, women's workforce participation dipped to 55 per cent for the first time since the mid-1980s as childcare options dwindled. In Deloitte's ideal recovery scenario, schools would offer better apprenticeship options and retraining programs for older workers in shrinking industries, and governments would invest in rural internet infrastructure and childcare for working parents. Regulators would step in under Deloitte's plan and allow skilled immigrants to use their foreign credentials and degrees. Canada loses

500 years ago, another epidemic swept Mexico: smallpox CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There were mass cremations of bodies; entire families died and the inhabitants of the city, afraid to pull their bodies out, simply collapsed their homes on top of them to bury them on the spot. The scene, beyond even the current coronavirus pandemic, was a scourge brought 500 years ago by Spanish conquistadores and their servants that exploded in Mexico City in September 1520. Smallpox and other newly introduced diseases went on to kill tens of millions of Indigenous people in the Americas who had no resistance to the European illnesses. The viruses later spread to South America, and helped lead to the downfall and overthrow of empires like the Aztecs and Incas. And its lessons remain largely forgotten today. Hernan Cortes and his band of a few hundred Spaniards had been kicked out of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, today's Mexico City, on June 30, 1520, by angry residents after the conquistadores took the emperor Moctezuma captive and he died. But the Spaniards left behind Indigenous and African slaves they had brought with them from Cuba. Some of them were already infected with smallpox, and amid the harsh conditions in the capital _ Cortes and his allies blockaded the city after the June defeat. Historian Miguel Leon

Portilla in his book ``The Vision of the Conquered'' cites chroniclers who described it as ``a great plague ... a huge destroyer of people.'' Cuitlahuac, Moctezuma's successor, died of the disease in 1520. The Aztecs, or Mexicas as they were known, tried long-trusted remedies to combat the unknown disease. Like the coronavirus pandemic, that did not necessarily work out well. They tried medicinal steam baths known as temezcales, a sort of sweat lodge, but because people were packed so tightly into the enclosed stone and mud chambers, the baths served only to propagate the disease more efficiently. ``It was a massive group contagion,'' said medical historian Sandra Guevara, Cortes and his men would reenter and conquer the disease-ravaged city a year later in August 1521. By then, due to smallpox, battles and food shortages caused by the conquistadores' blockade, there were so many rotting corpses in the street that Cortes briefly decided to move the Spaniards' new capital to a town further south to avoid the pestilent smell. Outside the Aztec capital, those Indigenous people who remained dealt with the first smallpox epidemic _ and later plagues by that and other diseases wound up killing most of the pre-Hispanic population _ by doing what they continued to do for centuries: retreat into hard-to-reach areas and try to block themselves off

from the outside world. During the coronavirus pandemic, many Indigenous communities retreated to the centuries-old ways, setting up roadblocks to prevent outsiders from entering their villages. ``We are living through today something like what they (our ancestors) might have felt,'' Guevara said. Apart from failed cures and almost medieval strategies, it remains unclear how much humanity has learned from one of the greatest mass die-offs due to epidemics. In the case of smallpox, humanity won the battle: the disease gave rise to the first successful vaccine in 1796, and the World Health Organization declared the disease eradicated outside laboratories in 1980. But such victories bred arrogance, experts say. ``In the last 50 years, a certain arrogance has prevailed in the medical community, thinking that we had brought all the infectious diseases under control,'' said Jose Esparza, a professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Institute of Human Virology. ``This pandemic has given us a big surprise.'' Humanity has learned lessons from diseases, Guevara notes. Cholera taught us the importance of clean water and sanitation; AIDS changed sexual behaviour. ``The important thing is how we deal with it,'' said Guevara. ``We have to learn that humanity cannot control everything.''

Stop telling students to study STEM instead of humanities post COVID By Alan Sears, University of New Brunswick and Penney Clark, University of British Columbia Finally, someone has figured out how to put an end to students wasting their lives in the quixotic pursuit of knowledge associated with the humanities. The government of Australia announced in June a reform package that would lower fees for what are considered ``job-relevant'' university courses while raising the cost of some humanities courses. Under the proposed changes, ``a three-year humanities degree would more than double in cost.'' English and language course fees, however, are among those being lowered. These reforms are proposed as part of larger changes to post-secondary funding as Australian universities, like Canadian and other global universities, find themselves grappling with the seismic impacts of COVID-19. They also reflect larger trends towards what's considered market-friendly learning. Around the world, educational policy-makers have chipped away for years at the position of the humanities in school curricula at every level to make more room for the so-called STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The humanities is typically considered to include the arts, history, literature, philosophy and languages.

Educational reforms The Australian reforms are intended to boost enrolment where the government says more ``job-ready graduates'' will be needed ``in health care, teaching and STEM related fields, including engineering and IT.'' The cost changes apply per course, so that ``by choosing electives that respond to employer needs ? students can reduce the total cost of their study.'' The proposed reforms aim to make it cheaper to undertake post-secondary studies in areas of expected job growth. Such reform efforts are part of a larger global push aimed at establishing the STEM disciplines as central to public education. In New Brunswick, this has been illustrated in a series of educational reforms emphasizing the centrality of economic priorities to shaping public education. These reforms promote a focus on literacy (not literature), numeracy and science. For example, the province's 10-year education plan, published in 2016 speaks of reviewing ``? high school course selections in the arts, trades and technology, with a view to revising, developing and clustering courses to address labour market and industry requirements.?'' The New Brunswick reforms, and many other such efforts, have largely excluded input from teachers, parents, students and local commu-

nities. They've focused on the standardization of education systems, while ignoring global lessons about how more holistic approaches to education often produce significant system-wide academic success. The new Australian policy takes a market-oriented approach focused on using financial incentives to encourage certain choices. Australia is definitely ahead of the curve on this one. Or is it?

Economic goals in public education No single organization has had more impact on the global move toward prioritizing economic goals in public education than the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), through its Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). PISA is an international testing program that has traditionally assessed student achievement in reading, mathematics and science in almost 100 countries and regions around the world. The results generate press and shape discussions and decisions about educational policy and practice in important ways. One group of education scholars writes that ``PISA has arguably become the most influential educational assessment today,'' and emphasizes that the program was developed to assist the OECD with its economic mandate and that this rationale informed the assessment's

framework and continues to guide its development. In recent times, growing social and cultural fragmentation have created challenges for the world's economies and prompted a rethink even in the OECD of the kind of education necessary for a more comprehensive prosperity. In 2018 it moved the PISA program beyond the three traditional subject areas to begin assessing ``global competence,'' which it describes as ``a multidimensional capacity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;'

Learning for `global competence' According to the OECD, ``globally competent individuals can examine local, global and intercultural issues, understand and appreciate different perspectives and world views, interact successfully and respectfully with others, and take responsible action toward sustainability and collective well-being.'' The OECD believes ``educating for global competence can boost employability,'' and also believes that all subjects can introduce global competence. It seems to us learning history and other humanities disciplines are effective ways to foster the elements of global competence outlined in their description. In our recent book, The Arts and the Teaching of History, we make the case that sustained and systematic engagement with the humanities _ in-

cluding, history, literature and visual and commemorative art _ is effective in fostering a number of positive humanistic and civic outcomes and competencies. These include: complex comprehension of history and literature and the nature of truth; nuanced understanding of the relationships between history and collective memory and how those operate in the formation of individual and group identities; and, particularly important in contemporary Australia, Canada and elsewhere, engagement with Indigenous perspectives. This is not to argue that the teaching of history, literature or other humanities subjects is without criticism. As they have appeared in school curriculum these subjects have often been overly focused on so-called western civilization. Marie Battiste, Mi'kmaw educator and professor in educational foundations at the University of Saskatchewan, in her book Visioning a Mi'kmaw Humanities: Indigenizing the Academy explores reframing the humanities to create: `` ? a vision of society and education where knowledge systems and languages are reinforced, not diluted, where they can respectfully gather together without resembling each other, and where peoples can participate in the cultural life of a society, education and their community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;'

Appreciating different worldviews Does anyone really believe that in the midst of vigorous public debates about what it means to build a just society, the world needs more people without the educational background to understand where their societies came from and how they developed? In the age of Black Lives Matter, rising Indigenous activism and substantial public engagement we need to educate people to take responsible action toward collective well-being. Of course, STEM subjects are critical in fostering understanding of issues related to sustainability and collective well-being. They are a necessary, but only a partial, aspect of any child's education. The humanities play an essential role in aspects of global competence which have not been the focus of the STEM subjects. If the study of history, society, culture or the arts dies, our societies may learn the hard way that it takes more than narrow job preparation to ensure that our students will flourish as human beings. Such flourishing includes willingness and ability to engage with the challenging and urgent social, cultural, environmental and political issues with which they are confronted in these times.

'No physical injuries' minimizes the emotional trauma of assault survivors By David Walton, Associate Professor, School of Physical Therapy, Western University In August 2020, a woman walking along a neighbourhood street in my hometown of London, Ont., was the target of gender-based violence by a man believed to have committed similar violence against another woman six days earlier. Such incidents are far too common and likely under-reported, but when they do garner media coverage, the stories consistently include a line that I highlight here, verbatim from the news report: ``The woman did not suffer any physical injuries.'' This statement, or one to that effect, appears to be a standard concluding line of reports about assault. While perhaps intended to comfort readers, I suggest it is dismissive of the full impact of the wounds suffered and call on reporters to immediately cease such language.

Both physical and emotional wounds I am a pain, stress and trauma researcher at Western University. I have spent the past 15 years exploring the long-term impacts of trauma. My focus has largely been on physical trauma _ things like car crashes, workplace, home or sports injuries and their physical, emotional and social consequences. One of the many things I have learned from this work is that those who develop chronic health problems following trauma _ whether the problems are persistent pain, depression, disability or post-traumatic stress disorder _ can rarely be predicted by the severity of the physical injuries. While I don't doubt that police statements regarding survivors' lack of physical injuries are largely accurate, the inference that the violence was therefore less serious is problematic. In any such experience, there are physical wounds and emotional wounds.

Assault is trauma Assault or gender-based violence is a trauma. The wounds experienced go beyond the visible skin, bone and tissues. They impact directly on the psyche, and they are very real. It is past time that we acknowledge that the psychological wounds from trauma and violence _ whether it's sexual, emotional, physical, financial, social or otherwise _ can manifest themselves in myriad ways on a person's future. These are challenging to connect and are often hidden to both the survivors themselves and others in their lives. However, acknowledgement of these connections seems paramount to improving access to compassionate post-trauma care. Dismissing gender-based violence or trauma as less serious because of a lack of visible physical injuries interferes with the survivor's ability to access adequate supports for current and

equality is not a passing phenomenon,'' said Paul Kagame of Rwanda, once colonized by Germany and Belgium. ``What is required is action that builds public trust in the equal dignity of all citizens, as demonstrated in the treatment of those who have historically been most marginalized, and who continue to suffer mistreatment disproportionately.'' Both past and present are infusing discussions about the state of the world's nations at the General Assembly, which wraps up Tuesday, and where leaders of ex-colonies get equal time with ex-colonizers at the planet's most important diplomatic event. Sierre Leone's vice-president gave world nations a 10-year deadline to wrap up the colonial era, once and for all. Vanuatu in the South Pacific and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean were among those who used the U.N. event to press territorial disputes left over from colonial times. And the leader of Caribbean ex-British colony Antigua and Barbuda said it's time for creditor countries _ many of whom built empires thanks to slave

labour and exploiting colonies' resources _ to forgive poor-country debt amid 2020's global economic crisis. Since the birth of the United Nations 75 years ago, its ranks have mushroomed from 51 members to 193, as territory after territory shed old-world rulers and proclaimed independence. But the scars and prejudices of colonialism slice deep. ``The nature of relations between Africa and countries with a colonial past should be re-imagined, to transform the painful history of colonization into opportunities,'' said Evariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi, once run by Germany and then Belgium. But he stressed: ``We should not forget the spirit of the conquests to enslave Africa and the strong resistance of the people of Africa to defend themselves against invasion, or to liberate themselves from the colonial yoke that mowed down millions of human lives in Africa and left injuries and wounds that struggle to heal.'' Instead of big-power bullying and small powers pleading for outside help, Vice-President Mohamed

future mental or physical health challenges. Research also shows that the often invisible nature of post-trauma consequences can result in experiences of stigma, self-doubt and shame. I have heard from survivors who were not encouraged to, or felt they should not, seek medical care when the police dismissed their assault as less problematic owing to the lack of obvious physical injury. Similarly, many people with chronic post-trauma pain are often afraid to report it because of their lack of visible physical injuries. I assume the ``not physically injured'' line is intended to ease the distress of the readers who may feel relieved to read that the victim wasn't physically injured. Harmfully minimized The result, I believe, is that the survivor's experience of trauma is harmfully minimized. I also believe such language has contrib-

uted to the broad-based stigma around mental health and removes the ability of survivors to feel, express and seek support during times of distress and vulnerability. While I have no interest in over-pathologizing the experience, it strikes me that we never hear news stories of these same people 10 years later. We never hear or read a followup, detailing nightmares and sleepless nights, the chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, depressed mood or financial stresses since encountered by survivors. I suspect these stories would make reports of gender-based violence far more difficult to hear. But they need to be heard. I call for an ethic of empathy in reports from the media and police. At a time when empathy for one's neighbour, community, and world seem in short supply, changing a few words in these all-too-common news releases and media reports feels like a good first step.

Juldeh Jalloh of ex-British colony Sierra Leone called for a new era of ``mutual respect and partnership'' instead. `Ìf we are to remain true to the fundamental principles of the United Nations that is fit for purpose, then it becomes absolutely necessary to relegate the chapter of colonialism to history within the period 2021-2030,'' he said. Some former colonial powers touched upon that part of their past, but none expressly renounced it in this year's speeches to the U.N. EU Council President Charles Michel, whose native Belgium has faced protests and soul-searching this year over the 19th century king who colonized swaths of Africa, said: `Òur two continents have never been so interdependent, for better or for worse.'' French President Emmanuel Macron, who has refused to take down statues of colonial leaders, described their era as the ``second wave'' of globalization: `Ìt was globalization through trade, the first openings, but also the routes of slavery, exploitation, the development of

some, the enslavement of others, the first population displacements and a reorganization of our world in the light of these dominions.'' Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte simply noted ``the European and Caribbean parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands,'' but left it at that. The United States' complicated history came in for criticism too, notably from rivals Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla championed Caribbean nations' efforts to demand reparations for ``the horrors of slavery and the slave trade, in a world where racial discrimination and the repression against Afro-descendant communities have been on the rise.'' Multiple leaders mentioned territorial disputes that stem from colonial times _ spats that occupy a big part of the docket at the U.N.'s international courts. The prime minister of Mauritius spoke in front of a map that included the Britain-controlled Chagos Archipelago as part of its territory. Pravind Jugnauth argued that ``the decol-

Trauma care I would personally be more comforted if such reports closed with: ``The survivor was cleared of physical injuries by medical personnel and has been offered appropriate emotional and social support.'' This of course demands that appropriate emotional supports be available for trauma survivors, in which much of Canada appears to fall short. Recognition of the long-term consequences and supports needed could be an effective means to pressure governments and other decision-makers to ensure adequate funding of social, emotional and mental health services. By ignoring these, we too often leave survivors to manage the long-term suffering on their own. This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

At UN, nations urge overdue reckoning with colonial crimes

PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Leaders of countries once subjugated to Western powers sent a pointed message at this year's U.N. General Assembly: For those who think the word ``colonialism'' evokes a long-ago, no-longer-relevant era, think again. Several leaders raised this year's global protests inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States and renewed demands for reparations for the slave trade, calling them just one step in a still-unfinished reckoning with crimes of former empires. The onetime French colony of New Caledonia -- still run by Paris, more than 10,000 miles and 10 time zones away _ is voting Sunday on whether to break free. A Congolese activist is going on trial Wednesday in France after recently trying to ``take back'' African art plundered from colonies and now showcased in European museums. ``The global movement for racial justice and

onization of Mauritius remains incomplete,'' and urged the U.N. to intervene. The leader of Micronesia _ colonized in turns by Spain, Germany and Japan, and now dependent on the U.S. for its defence and financial support _ described his South Pacific archipelago as ``a product of multilateralism'' that's still working toward self-sufficiency 33 years after becoming a free state. This year's pandemic has sharpened a feeling of economic and historic injustice, as rich countries shut borders, scale back aid, stockpile medical supplies and impose export restrictions. Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent and the Grenadines decried ``the legacies of underdevelopment left in the wake of European settler colonialism, native genocide, the enslavement of Africans'' and warned that ``the disastrous economic implications of a global COVID-19 recession threaten to stymie our advances.'' Barbados made news this month seeking to drop Britain's Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state, and Prime Minister Mia Mottley in her speech.

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indigenous communities are being given a chance to pursue an ownership interest in the Keystone XL pipeline project, builder TC Energy Corp. announced on Tuesday. The Calgary-based company says a memorandum of understanding has been signed with Natural Law Energy, which represents four First Nations in Alberta and one in Saskatchewan. ``Today's announcement is a testament to what we can accomplish when industry and Indigenous groups work together,'' said Nekaneet First Nation Chief Alvin Francis, president of Natural Law. ``This historic agreement is an important step for our peoples and future generations to share in the energy wealth coming from our lands and traditional territories.'' TC Energy says a final agreement with Natural

Law is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020, formalizing its participation in Keystone XL. It added it could participate in other potential related midstream and power projects. ``This MOU, which is one of the first of its kind for TC Energy with Indigenous communities, is a reflection of our commitment to working together to ensure Indigenous groups share the benefits of the Keystone XL Pipeline over the long-term as a valuable partner,'' said Keystone XL president Richard Prior. In an interview, Prior wouldn't give specifics but said the deal will be for a minority interest in the pipeline and TC won't directly provide the funding. In March, the company approved construction of the US$8-billion project to transport up to 830,000 barrels per day of oil from Alberta to Nebraska after the Alberta government agreed to invest about US$1.1 billion (C$1.5 billion) as equity and

guarantee a US$4.2-billion project loan. Its future is still in doubt, however, as Democratic candidate Joe Biden has said he would cancel its vital presidential permit if he is elected president in November. ``This MOU affirms the shared importance Indigenous people and Alberta's government place on projects such as Keystone XL, which will bring the jobs and steady economic benefits to lift more people onto solid financial ground _ now and for years to come,'' said Premier Jason Kenney in a statement. ``The full participation of Indigenous people in our entire economy is central to reconciliation. Likewise, Alberta's recovery depends on Indigenous communities participating in economic prosperity.'' The five First Nations include the Nekaneet First Nation in Saskatchewan and the Ermineskin Cree Nation, Montana First Nation, Louis Bull Tribe and Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta.

Indigenous business needs more capital funding CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Limited and slow access to capital is a major barrier to First Nations' ability to take ownership roles in the resource megaprojects being built across their lands, a panel of Indigenous business leaders said Tuesday. The three panellists said they view ownership of oil and gas, pipeline and transmission line projects as essential to provide prosperity for their people, while also protecting their environment and culture, during a webcast discussion sponsored by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute,. ``These developments are going to happen, they're going to happen on our territories, we want a say in how they're going to happen and we want to be able to benefit from the projects,'' said Mark Podlasly, director of economic policy and initiatives for the 65-member First Nations Major Projects Coalition.

First Nations don't own their land under the Indian Act and can't use it as collateral to obtain funding in the millions or billions of dollars needed to invest in big projects, he said, adding that makes it difficult to negotiate ongoing benefits to communities from the project developers. ``The big change that's happened over the past 20 years is that First Nations are now looking to provide capital as investment into these projects, where we become shareholders and equity holders and enjoy in the revenue streams,'' he said. Many Indigenous people are reluctant to support land ownership reform because they fear losing control of the land, said Podlasly, a member of the Cooks Ferry First Nation in B.C., Crystal Smith, elected chief councillor for the Haisla Nation Council in Kitimat, B.C., says her community decided to support LNG Canada and the Coastal GasLink pipeline to bring natural gas from northern B.C. to the facility after years of

watching projects being built nearby that provided little local benefit. ``We have a vision for our people and it comes from being a participant in projects ... Our vision is to improve the quality of lives of our people today and for future generations,'' she said. Coastal GasLink has been supported by all 20 elected band councils along the pipeline route. Hereditary chiefs who led opposition to the pipeline signed an agreement in May in which the federal and B.C. governments recognized their rights and title. Access to capital is one of the reasons to support Project Reconciliation, an Indigenous consortium considering making a bid to buy majority ownership of the Trans Mountain pipeline from the federal government, said founder Delbert Wapass on the panel. ``Our First Nations have the opportunity to collectively participate in large infrastructure projects, be it green, real estate, or whatever they look like, but we have to be capi-

talized to maximize our bargaining ability with industry and government,'' said the former chief of Saskatchewan's Thunderchild First Nation. ``And we feel if we have the model correct, and First Nations can move at the speed of business without relying on outside sources of funding, we can realize these opportunities and begin managing wealth as opposed to continuously managing poverty.'' Project Reconciliation is proposing ownership of at least 51 per cent of the pipeline be shared among about 340 Indigenous communities in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. The group would put 80 per cent of the cash flow from the pipeline stake into a ``sovereign wealth fund'' to invest in environmentally friendly projects. Its bid is in competition with the Western Indigenous Pipeline Group which argues Trans Mountain should be owned by communities actually located on the route as they are most at risk from an oil spill.

Six Nations Police held hostage for hours

About 20 community members upset by the Six Nations Police's handling of a recent drug-house raid gathered outside of the Ohsweken station on Friday. Officer Dave Smoke addressed the demonstrators for a number of minutes and when he walked back to the police station he was severely heckled. The crowd dispersed shortly after their demands for body camera's and more PHOTO BY JONATHAN GARLOW accountability were heard.

First Nations take Ontario government to court over environmental protections CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Several Indigenous groups are taking the Ontario government to court over recently rescinded environmental protections, arguing the province's move violates their constitutional rights. The claim comes in a notice of application filed this week by nine northern Ontario First Nations and associations. The application states that Premier Doug Ford's government reversed decades of environmental progress and protections for Indigenous communities when it made changes to the Environmental Assessment Act. In July, the government changed the rules around assessments for forestry projects and passed a sweeping omnibus bill aimed at speeding up the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Indigenous groups claim the result is that public projects can now take place without any environmental assessments at all _ a move they say undermines both previous government agreements and their rights. They're asking the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to declare the changes unconstitutional and reinstate protections across the board. ``Through these decisions the Crown has undone a set of protections for both the environment and for the exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights,'' the notice of application reads. ``These protections had been put in place to address the central impor-

tance of the environment to these rights, which First Nations exercise for their very survival.'' The Ministry of the Attorney General said it was reviewing the application, but declined further comment since the case is currently before the court. The bulk of the Ford government's environmental changes became law in July when a bill dubbed the COVID-19 Recovery Act was tabled and passed in less than three weeks. It altered 20 pieces of current legislation governing areas as diverse as the province's schools, municipalities, and justice system. Ford said the bill will help change an environmental assessment process that has been on the books for decades. ``We aren't going to dodge (environmental assessments) or anything,'' he said in July.``We're going to make sure we strengthen them, but we're going to do them quicker, smarter.'' The Indigenous groups disagree, saying removing the need for environmental assessments on public projects undercuts years of negotiations between the government and First Nations communities. The notice of application points specifically to four years worth of timber management hearings in the 1980s and 1990s, during which it says Indigenous communities successfully argued that the environment was crucial to their ancestral way of life and won key protections from the province. Those protections, they contended, allow First Nations communities to continue exercising their

rights to hunt, fish and pursue other long-standing tenets of Indigenous traditions. The application said the government's most recent decision effectively undoes those efforts. The groups argue all public projects were previously subject to an automatic environmental assessment unless specifically exempted by the minister, noting the public also had opportunities to weigh in if such an exception was considered. After the changes in July, they said that position has reversed, with the minister now having the right to decide if an assessment is necessary. ``The Crown created an open-ended discretionary regime within the new (act),'' the application said. ``This creates a path of unpredictability, uncertainty and probability of multiple disputes, forcing First Nations to live on the edge of their seats and depleting their already insufficient resources for engagement.'' Chief Robert Nakogee of Fort Albany First Nation, one of the groups behind the application, said First Nations were fighting back. ``This is not reconciliation between the Crown government that has perpetrated colonialism and the governments of first peoples who have lived in and protected these environments and lands since time beyond memory,'' he said in a statement. ``This is deconstruction ... We are seeking to have all of this declared unconstitutional.'' A date for the first court hearing in the case has not yet been set.

Mi'kmaq lobster fishery growing SAULNIERVILLE — An Indigenous-run lobster fishery off the coast of southwestern Nova Scotia is slightly increasing the size of its fleet to 10 boats from seven, creating a total capacity of 500 traps. Rhonda Knockwood, the director of operations for Sipekne'katik First Nation, says the community's fishery in St. Marys Bay continued through the weekend and on Monday, with five boats fishing, two being repaired and three more licensed by the band. When the fishery began on Sept. 17, there were seven vessels with 50 traps each, for a total of 350 traps. The Mi'kmaq harvesters point to a 1999 Supreme Court decision that affirms their treaty right to fish for a ``moderate livelihood,'' though the second part of the decision allows Ottawa to set regulations in consultation with Indigenous communities and for the purpose of conservation. The Sipekne'katik fishery still represents a small fraction of the commercial lobster licences issued in the fishing area around St.

Marys Bay. The federal Fisheries Department's website indicates that as of December 2018, there were 979 licences to fish the area, with most permitting 375 to 400 traps per licence _ meaning two large commercial boats would take as much as the entire current Mi'kmaq fishery. Non-Indigenous fishing groups have resisted the fishery, arguing it shouldn't occur outside of the regulated season. A fleet of their vessels removed 350 Mi'kmaq lobster traps from the water on the weekend of Sept. 19-20. Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen's Association, has said lobster-fishing season in St. Marys Bay doesn't start until the last Monday of November in order to let the animals reproduce and to make sure their stocks aren't depleted. Sproul could not be reached for further comment on Monday. Last week, Sipekne'katik Chief Mike Sack said in a news release that the next challenge for his community is to alter provincial laws

5 X 6.5

that are making it difficult for the Indigenous harvesters to sell their catch. He has called for a meeting with Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil to discuss how to better define what constitutes a ``moderate livelihood fishery.'' Sack said he recognizes it is currently illegal under provincial law for people to purchase lobster caught outside the commercial fishing licence system, which is operated by the federal Fisheries Department. The First Nation leader has called on the premier, who is also the provincial minister of Aboriginal Affairs, to ``remedy the legislated gaps.'' A spokesman for the premier said he was unavailable for comment on Monday. The provincial Fisheries Department has said it is up to Ottawa and the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia to work out what constitutes a moderate livelihood fishery, as the province relies on the federal regulations to define what can be legally bought and sold.

Ontario Investing in Hospital Upgrades and Repairs in Brantford By Canadian Press BRANTFORD — The Ontario government is investing $175 million to address critical upgrades, repairs and maintenance in 129 hospitals across the province, including $50 million for COVID-19 related and other urgent projects. T hrough the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund, this funding will help hospitals maintain their infrastructure and ensure a safe and comfortable environment for patients to receive care. In Brantford, the Brant Community Healthcare System will receive $2,575,442 for 2020 and 2021 through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund. This funding will support a combination of general funds for infrastructure improvements and specific projects. “Maintaining hospital infrastructure is another example of how our government is ensuring that Ontarians have access to

health care services they can depend on, especially during these unprecedented times,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Our ongoing investments to support essential projects like repairing roofs and windows and adding more isolation spaces can make a big difference to a patient's experience. It’s part of our plan to build the capacity we need to end hallway health care in Ontario.” The funding will help hospitals address urgent issues such as upgrades or replacement of roofs, windows, security systems, backup generators and fire alarms. Projects will also support the hospitals in their ongoing response to COVID-19, such as updating HVAC systems to enhance patient and staff safety, creating additional isolation space and negative air pressure flow rooms to increase capacity and enhancing infection prevention and control measures.

“Hospital infrastructure is a top priority for this government and is an integral part of getting the region as well as the entire Province through this pandemic”, said Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma. “The community can always count on my advocacy, support and dedication to the Brant Community Healthcare System”. “The Brant Community Healthcare System is appreciative of the Government’s investment in our local healthcare system”, said Dr. David McNeil, President and CEO of the Brant Community Healthcare System. “This is an important investment that will allow BCHS to undertake important improvements and upgrades to its existing building infrastructure. I would like to thank MPP Will Bouma for his continued support of the Brant Community Healthcare System and the people of Brantford and Brant County.”

First Nations police services look to throne speech pledge for higher, stable funding CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — The Rama Police Service, which serves the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, does not have dedicated funding for forensic and crime investigation units, or to provide aid to victims. Rama Police Chief Jerel Swamp said the force provides front-line, culturally responsive policing to the community near Orillia, Ont., and like other Indigenous police services, it does so with limited resources. ``We're the only police services in Canada that is not classified as an essential service,'' said Swamp, who is also a vice-president at the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association. The Liberal government vowed in its speech from the throne this week to speed up the development of a legal framework to recognize First Nations policing as an essential service. The Liberals had already promised to take action on that shortly after the 2019 election and again in response to Indigenous protests against the Coastal GasLink project in northern B.C. Then in June, amid widespread calls for police reform following a number of violent police incidents involving Indigenous people across Canada, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair told a House of Commons committee he had begun reaching out to Indigenous communities on how to bring about change. Indigenous leaders have long been calling on the federal government to deem Indigenous policing an essential service. ``I won't be happy until I hear two words: royal assent,'' Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said Wednesday in response to the throne speech. Public Safety Canada currently funds the services through the First Nations policing program

which provides grants to support them in First Nation and Inuit communities. ``The funding that we received from them is inadequate to provide the necessary services that our communities require,'' Swamp said. The federal promise to make First Nations policing an essential service is a step in the right direction, he said. ``It's been a long struggle,'' he said. Swamp said none of the First Nations police services or their police boards have been consulted on what the legislation needs to include, which he argued is essential. ``We are the experts in First Nations police service,'' he said. ``We need to be sitting at the table to be consulted, and to ensure that the legislation that puts in place is going to be working for our communities.'' The government also hasn't approached the leaders of the Indigenous communities on this issue yet, he said. Mary-Liz Power, a spokeswoman for Blair, said in a statement that introducing legislation to make Indigenous policing an essential service will require developing a funding framework. ``The work to deliver on this promise is ongoing,'' she said. The First Nations policing program started in 1991 to fund policing agreements between the federal government, provincial or territorial governments, and First Nation or Inuit communities to deliver policing services to these communities. ``There are some First Nation police services that have been in existence for over 50 years, so we are successful in what we do,'' Swamp said. There are two types of policing agreements under the program. The first are self-administered police service agreements, where a First Nation or Inuit community creates, manages its own police service under its provincial policing

legislation. The second involves standing services, including Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, being contracted to provide policing services to a First Nation or Inuit community. The federal government contributes 52 per cent of the funding to the First Nations policing program and the provincial and territorial governments contribute the rest. It provides policing services for almost 60 per cent of First Nation and Inuit communities. In 2018-2019, Public Safety Canada spent over $146 million through the program to support 1,322 police officer positions in over 450 First Nation and Inuit communities. But the funding for the First Nations policing services is not consistent, said Swamp. `Òur funding agreements are for between two to five years at a time,'' he said, adding that most other non-Indigenous services, such as the RCMP, is funded for an extended period of time. The short-term funding makes it harder to plan. `Às leader of the police service, it's hard for me to create a strategic plan for the future of our community, the future for policing, when I can't even guarantee the existence of our police service funding,'' he said. Swamp said that despite the limited funding, First Nations police services are effective in investigating violent and other crimes using their limited resources. `Òur front-line officers become more specialized in doing criminal investigation,'' he said. ``They can't pass it off to another officer in a specialized unit, such as a crime officer ? so an officer has to pretty much do the entire investigation from A to Z.''

Institutions such as the police and the courts have failed Black and Indigenous people, McNeil told a gathering at a YMCA in downtown Halifax. He apologized for the harm, trauma and pain he said many Nova Scotians have endured over generations. ``I see you, I hear you, I believe you and I am sorry.'' The premier described the humiliating ``lived reality'' of Black mothers warning their sons to be fearful of police officers. ``We are sorry to young Nova Scotians, to adults, families and their ancestors, who have been failed by racist institutions and systems,'' he said. ``I can't

take away your pain. I can't bring back lost opportunities or lives.'' The Black Lives Matter movement in Nova Scotia and around the world, he said, has highlighted the systemic failures that have resulted from relying on law enforcement for public safety. McNeil said he is putting together a restorative justice team composed of members of Black and Indigenous communities, as well as members of government and the police, to work on ways to reform the justice system. He said the restorative justice team will look beyond policing. It will analyze the jail system, the judiciary and other aspects of the justice system, he said, adding it will also consider the social issues underlying the criminalization of Black and Indigenous communities. ``We are graduating more African Nova Scotian and Indigenous people than ever in our history,'' McNeil said, ``but we're

not attaching them to the workforce. Something's wrong. There's an inequity we cannot let stand.'' McNeil's apology and his call for reform follow a public apology by the Halifax police chief last November regarding street checks -- random police stops during which officers collect information from people. Chief Dan Kinsella's statements were in response to findings from a 2019 study by criminologist Scot Wortley, whose research indicated Black citizens were five times more likely to be stopped by police than white citizens. The restorative justice team includes Julia Cecchetto, the chief of police in Kentville, N.S., who said Tuesday, ``as police we have heard the call from cities and communities in Nova Scotia that it's time for change and we know it's time for us to show up and have the hard conversations.''

If you would like to take part in our water study, and have a well or cistern, please call Health Promotions – Community Educators to set-up a visit 519-750-4908. We are trying to learn where contamination exists on Six Nations 

Does it come from ground water?



Does it come from poor well maintenance?



Does it come from surface water run-off?



Or something else?



Learning where contamination comes from will help us co-develop technologies to improve reserve water quality.

Heavy Metal Contamination



Generally, groundwater contamination leads to consistent heavy metal concentrations because groundwater exists in aquifers for millions of years; the water is unchanging.



However, if the contamination is caused by external sources the heavy metal concentrations are more variable.



Sampling will provide insight into the source of the contamination.

Purpose of the Study The purpose of our study is to improve water quality at the Six Nations Reserve. We aim to identify the sources of water contamination and work with the Six Nations community to develop potential solutions and mitigation strategies.

Company fires staff who made racist comments at Edmonton public school CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A utility company says contract staff have been fired for making racist comments during a smudging ceremony at an Edmonton public school. Epcor says school officials reported that students and staff heard construction workers swearing, using racist

language and running their equipment during the ceremony last week at Edith Rogers School, which teaches students from Grades 7 to 9. The workers were at a dry pond project across from where the students were participating in the smudging ritual in which Indigenous peoples burn sacred herbs and medicines for cleansing or health purposes. ``EPCOR does not condone racism or hate of any kind, and we thank the students and staff who brought this incident to our attention,'' the company said in a statement Tuesday. The company said the workers were with a sub-contractor, Wilco Contractors Northwest, and under the control of Sureway Construction Group. Epcor, Wilco and Sureway said they will together donate $30,000 to the Edmonton Public School Board's amiskwaciy Academy, a junior and senior high school that offers Indigenous programming. Wilco said in a separate statement that it has fired the workers involved and that racism will not be

tolerated. ``The hurt experienced by the students and staff is front of mind for us, and we hope the actions we are taking demonstrate to them how seriously we take this situation,'' Wilco said. Edmonton Public Schools said it was waiting to notify parents before releasing a comment on Epcor's decision. In an earlier statement, the public school's spokeswoman, Carrie Rosa, said: ``Edmonton Public Schools is committed to truth and reconciliation by providing a variety of learning experiences in all of our schools, which includes events like Friday's smudging.'' ``We aspire for all of our learning and working environments to be free from hatred, racism and hurt. That's why what happened at Edith Rogers School was so deeply unsettling and unacceptable for our staff and students who were participating in the smudging ceremony.'' Epcor shut down the construction site last week and said work would resume after an investigation was complete.

Six Nations goalie Chase Martin thrilled to sign a one- year agreement with Thunderbirds NEIL BECKER

Upper Deck to honor Indigenous hockey players who have never had rookie cards NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations goaltender Chase Martin referred to signing with the Halifax Thunderbirds as a nobrainer. Shortly after signing a one- year agreement on September 21, Martin couldn’t say enough about what it meant to be part of the Thunderbirds organization. “When management contacted me about coming back out this year it was a no-brainer to sign,” Martin, who was part of last year’s Thunderbirds training camp said. “From the minute training camp began last year it was evident everyone is on the same mission. This is a passionate organization from top to bottom and everyone shares the same determination to bring a championship to the East Coast.” Martin has quite an impressive lacrosse resume, which includes many accolades such as helping the Iroquois Nationals Indoor Lacrosse squad earn silver at last year’s World Indoor Lacrosse Championship in Langley B.C. “I am humbled by this opportunity and look forward to showing up with my best attitude and doing whatever necessary to help take care of some unfinished business,” Martin said. Good friend and fellow Halifax goaltender Warren Hill expressed his strong excitement about the Mar-

The Upper Deck Trading Card company made recent headlines by unveiling their plan to come out with cards honoring those lesser known Indigenous NHL players, who have never experienced the thrill of having a rookie card. Unlike traditional packs, these Indigenous cards will be made available at Aboriginal hockey tournaments taking place all over North America and various organizations. Upper Deck’s Chris Carlin was joined by a special guest Naim Cardinal, who was the engineer behind this project, officially announced in early September on the You Tube show “Sports Cards Live.” Cardinal, who represents Tallcree First Nation in Alberta, has a strong passion for Indigenous hockey cards, as he began back in 2014 collecting and preserving Indigenous rookie cards. On the ‘Sports Cards Live’ You Tube show, when discussing the project, Cardinal also talked about his collection as he stated, “That’s the way I stayed connected to my heroes.” Carlin’s first step in this Indigenous hockey card project was to reach out and contact Cardinal, before putting together an advisory committee

tin signing. “It’s cool to have another Six Nations product as part of the team,” Hill said. “Chase has been working hard and fits right in with the guys.” Hill also went on to add, “I was happy for him. I’ve known Chase through lacrosse since high school but never played together until senior with the Rivermen.” Another big moment in Martin’s lacrosse career came in 2017 when with the Rivermen, he got on a serious roll posting a tournament best 6.18 G.A.A. and a 4-1 record at Presidents Cup tournament play in leading the Rivermen to the Presidents Cup finals. During his Junior ‘B’ career, Martin had many thrilling highlight moments, including winning three straight Founders Cups (2012-2014) with the Six Nations Rebels.

Another big accomplishment for Martin came in 2019, when with the St. Catharines Shockwave, he posted a league leading 9.56 G.A.A. and backstopped them to their first ALL cup. Following a 13-1 regular season, Martin continued to be clutch as St. Catharines completed consecutive wins against Whitby followed in championship play against Paris to become the 2019 ALL Cup champs. The Thunderbirds have signed a goalie who knows about winning big games, and has been praised as being the ultimate teammate. When the NLL once again starts up, this promises to be an exciting time for Martin who will be proudly putting the Thunderbirds colors on and beginning that quest of helping them become National League Lacrosse Cup champs.

for the First Peoples Rookie Card program, consisting of those involved within the Indigenous hockey community. “(We decided) if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do this right,” Carlin said. “Let’s involve Indigenous people from every aspect, from the checklist (of players included) to the design, to the card backs. And that’s what we started doing.” A major challenge for the adversary panel has been tracking down these featured players or family members to get more information for their featured card. With some of these indigenous players, their time in the NHL goes back many decades ago. “It has been a lot of hard work, but it’s really worth it,” Cardinal said. “Sometimes they feel like they’re forgotten about. Their career has been over for so long and they never got a hockey card. For us to remember them this way, it’s such a huge honour.” Showing his strong devotion towards In-

digenous hockey cards, Cardinal has constructed a website which displays his collection of approximately 90 current and past Indigenous hockey heroes. A prototype card has been made which showcases a special logo created by Nakota Sioux artist Jacob Alexis from the Alexis First Nation. This logo consists of a maple leaf constructed by eagle feathers, and containing nods to the original Mi’kmaq hockey sticks from the 1800’s, and lightning to honour the Thunder Beings and water as the crucial element for hockey, since it’s most needed for making the ice. “I keep thinking about those little kids opening up those packs of cards and seeing themselves in those players from the past,” Carlin said. “For the former players to be acknowledged this way, that’s so worth it to me. That’s who I do it for.” Currently, a release date hasn’t been made official, but Carlin is aiming for sometime in the 2021 calendar year.

Turtle Island Lacrosse making history by offering mentorship NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations lacrosse stars such as Randy Staats and Brendan Bomberry know the importance of having a close connection with the youth. Whether it be someone in need of some mentoring, or a young up and coming lacrosse player with questions, both Staats and Bomberry, who founded Turtle Island Lacrosse, made it clear at their first ever weekend Turtle Island lacrosse camp, that they are always available for guidance. “I don’t have that connection with the youth, and I want to have that connection and be a mentor,” Staats, who plays for the Georgia Swarm, said about why creating Turtle Island Lacrosse was so important. “It’s awesome when you correct them (player) on something and then they do it right, and they give you a big smile afterwards.” Turtle Island Lacrosse partnered up with Iroquois Nationals to make history on September 26 and 27 by holding their first ever weekend Camp at OMSK in Six Nations. This is a way for these NLL established stars to offer mentorship and guidance. It’s an opportunity for Staats and Bomberry to share stories or talk about their

playing experiences while encouraging questions along with of course running these up and coming young players through a variety of drills. “These (clinics) are free for the kids and we have giveaways,” Staats said.” On Saturday, we had about 60 to 70 boys out and they ranged in age from 7-18 years-old.” During that Saturday, players experienced the thrill of having other established Six Nations NLL stars such as Cody Jamieson, Tyson Bomberry and Warren Hill come out and help run drills while offering some friendly encouragement and giving some tips. “It was more nerve wracking and I didn’t know what was going to

happen,” Staats said about the first day. “On that first day, it meant the world to me seeing the smile on their faces.” Reflecting on the camp, they had boys being taught on Saturday, and girls on Sunday. “For the younger kids, I try to make it fun,” Staats said about the first day of camp with the boys. “With the older group, we work on attacking, dodging and mini-dodging.” Staats went on to add, “I hope they had fun. I hope they are never afraid to ask us questions and use us as a resource.” On that Sunday, it was the girls’ time to shine, as Staats and Bomberry were on the OMSK field once again along with coach Jason Johnson and two

senior women’s’ lacrosse players in Mekwan Tulpin and Hannah Claire lending a hand. “We had the 7-12 age group in the morning followed by the 13-18 -year-olds”, Staats said. “We worked on cradling, getting comfortable with your sticks, shooting, passing and positioning.” With the older group, we went more in depth in doing drills on dodging and defensive stuff.” Among those girls working hard from the 13-18 age group were 17 - year-old Kaya Maracle along with sisters Makenna and Jadyn Maracle who are 12- year-old twins. “It felt great. Awesome to have a stick in my hands, learning and meeting new people,” Kaya

After playing one game for Seattle in 2012-2013, Bear went on to excel in the WHL, where starting in 2013-2014, he would go on to play 263 games with the Thunderbirds scoring 66 goals and 192 points. His fourth and final season in Seattle saw Bear put up a career high of 28 goals, 70 points along with an impressive +21 rating. Following that WHL season, Bear played in the American Hockey League, where in 2017-2018, he continued to display his offensive upside by scoring six goals and 18 points in 37 games with the Oilers farm team the Bakersfield Condos. That same campaign,

Bear achieved the ultimate dream as he was called up in the NHL and made his debut on March 1. 2018 at Rogers Place in Edmonton. During that debut, which was a 4-2 loss against the Nashville Predators, Bear would play 22 shifts in total. He would go on to compete in 18 NHL games that year where he produced a goal and four total points. “The nerves were right up there,” Bear said after that first game. “The excitement level was up there, to play a good team like Nashville was a good experience. I just got to get my feet moving a little more, keep moving the puck, but I thought it felt really good.”

Edmonton Oilers management and fans alike have reason to be excited about the development of rookie defenceman Ethan Bear. Showing his offensive skills, Bear, who is only 23 years-old, from Ochapowace Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, recently placed fifth among rookies last year with 21 points (5 goals, 16 assists) and finished tenth in Calder Trophy voting. Bear, who was drafted fifth round, 124th overall by Edmonton in the 2015 draft, starred for four seasons with the Western

Maracle, who plays for the Orillia Lady Kings said. Reflecting on her long- term goals Maracle stated, “Go to Queens and play in the OUA.” Meanwhile her sisters, who also play on the Lady Kings, both broke out into a smile when asked about their experience at the Turtle Island Lacrosse camp. “It was awesome. I haven’t played in about six months, and they were good coaches,” Makenna Maracle said. “This was awesome.” Using the word ‘amazing’ to describe the experience was Jadyn Maracle who went on to add, “It was amazing. I really missed playing. This was pretty cool.” “This was our first event held, and we wanted a centralized camp, and this is the best place to

do it,” Bomberry, who also plays for the Georgia Swarm said. “We’ve had positive feedback. They (players) have really been enjoying this.” “The talent here is off the wall. We want to give back to the community. We want to share what we know. This is our home community. Six Nations is a special place for lacrosse talent.” Turtle Island Lacrosse will be holding these camps throughout various communities as they look to share their experiences and knowledge while answering questions and of course giving pointers while running drills. It’s all about taking time for the youth and reminding them that anything is possible if they work hard and do all the right things.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, when you are in charge of a situation, you have to keep in mind others’ feelings before offering a critique. Take a moment before you give commentary.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Try to keep your emotions in check this week, Leo. This is not the time to let your feelings seep into a work environment. You have to remain focused and firm.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if something rubs you the wrong way this week, don’t let others know. Surround yourself with people and activities you love so you can boost your mood. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your artistic side is ready to get a little attention. Maybe you will redecorate a room or design a website. Channel those creative urges purposefully.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 What was moving along so smoothly just yesterday may hit a snag now, Scorpio. Don’t let this sidetrack you. You just may have to put forth a little extra effort. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 The pace of your life is bound to slow down a bit in the days to come, Sagittarius. This will be a welcomed change from the hustle and bustle that has been the norm lately.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, something keeps pulling your focus away from the task at hand. This may be the universe telling you that this project needs to be delayed for a bit. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t stress about making hard decisions or commitments, Aquarius. You already have the next few months planned out, as you like to be two steps ahead all the time.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 While someone may be pushing you to take action, it is even better if the motivation comes from you. Take a step in the right direction.
