ARGYLE BARRICADED

519-445-0088

Argyle Street was blocked outside of Caledonia in response to a court order intended to prevent Haudenosaunee members from accessing their own land. Land which they say was promised to them by the British Monarchy for the Mohawks and Such Others to enjoy forever, according to the Haldimand Proclaimation of 1784. A statement from Skyler Williams' social media page says that the roads were blocked for saftey reasons and for negotations to begin. "We have been negotiating with Hydro One to restore power to three houses behind our barricades that are without power. Our only condition is that police and their guns are not allowed on site. We've put forward multiple solutions and been in negotiations about worker safety. Our relationships with unions are very strong. The only people who are disrupting process on PHOTO BY JONATHAN GARLOW this are the OPP," says Williams. It is not clear how long the barricades will remain in place.

Permanent injunction on McKenzie Meadows housing development, roads blocked STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council called for calm on Saturday after a week that saw tensions escalate between police and demonstrators at a proposed housing development site.

Road closures are in effect on McKenzie Road, Argyle Street South and the Highway 6 bypass after demonstrators dug up the asphalt in retaliation to a violent clash between police and protesters.

On Thursday, Superior Court Justice RJ Harper ordered demonstrators to leave and issued a permanent injunction on the McKenzie Meadows site and against blockades on Haldimand County roadways — aggravating an already tense situation.

Reports of violence came from Caledonia with demonstrators saying police fired rubber bullets at protesters.

Police released video footage of two men striking an OPP cruiser with a lacrosse stick, urging police to leave the area and pelting the vehicle with rocks eventually shattering the windshield of the cruiser — alleging that the incident was what sparked OPP firing at protesters.

LeClair said officers used ``non-lethal force.''

Six Nations Elected Council issued a statement late on Friday saying the community should focus on addressing land claims with the federal and provincial governments, describing it as a goal all members share despite other differences of opinion. ``We hope in the days ahead, that we can work in unity to focus on the common goal of addressing our Six Nations Land Claims,'' the statement said. ``It's time for the federal and provincial governments to right their wrongs.''

The statement said council was disturbed by the permanent injunction, calling it an example of systemic racism in Canada's justice system. ``We do not condone the violence or destruction of property and we are calling for calm to refocus our minds,'' the council's statement said.

Harper refused Thursday to hear constitutional arguments in the case from Skyler Williams, a man named on an August temporary injunction, saying the camp occupants were in contempt of court by refusing to leave the site.

Williams has said he plans to appeal that ruling.

Premier Doug Ford said Friday that he wants dialogue with the demonstrators, while describing those who engaged in the alleged violence as ``bad apples.'' ``I don't know if a few folks are going rogue, but the way you get things settled is by sitting around the table, talking about solutions,'' Ford said. ``You don't go after our police.''

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Williams said Ford's ``bad apples'' comment reflected ignorance about the camp and its purpose. He said the community is united in its understanding of their right to the land.

Let us add the perfect touch of beauty and elegance to any room or special occasion.

``Every family, every faction in our community understands that this is our land and it's going to stay that way,'' he said.

In a later phone interview, Williams said a meeting took place on Saturday between occupiers, Six Nations traditional government and band council.

He said the community is coming together, and will speak with ``one voice.'' ``This is a land claim dispute that's been going on for 200 years,'' he said. ``We've been consistent in saying since the early 1800s that we want squatters off our lands.''

The premier had also expressed sympathy for people who paid for homes in the proposed housing development where construction has stalled during the occupation. ``They buy a home, like all of us ... and all of a sudden someone comes in and says, 'No, it's not yours anymore, it's ours.' It's unacceptable,'' Ford said.

In its statement, Six Nations Elected Council also addressed tensions within the community over its controversial agreement with the developer at McKenzie Meadows to publicly support the project.

Council said it thought the agreement was good for the community at the time, but are listening to those with opposing views.

Six Nations woman Layla Black has released a 23 minute film addressing the after effects of residential school and how it affected the lives of her grandpa Gord and his family.

"My papa was a generational survivor. They took his language and culture, but never could take away his connection with the water," Layla said when asked why she chose Blood and Water as a name for her film.

"Creating this short film has been a huge part of my

healing journey. It's opened doors to connections that have guided me along this path of reclamation, forced me to connect to my ancestors, and truly embrace the traditional teachings of the Haudenosaunee, the ones that came before me."

It's estimated that over 150,000 Indigenous children attended residential schools in Canada. This film discovers not only the direct impact of this dark part of Canadian history, but also the current long term generational effects as so many Indigenous youth struggle to reclaim their cultural identity.

The short film is available on YouTube.

Mohawk fingerprints on Bell’s telephone In 1876 Chief Johnson spoke Mohawk into the first phone

TWO ROW TIMES

TUTELA HEIGHTS - It would easy to know whose voice was transmitted in first recorded telephone call between Tutela Heights and Brantford’s downtown telegraph office, an amazing two miles away. That, of course, was the voice of a young Alexander Graham Bell speaking to Walter Griffin, the Dominion Telegraph Company. A historic plaque near Harmony Square marks the Colborne Street location. But not many people know that the other voice on the line that day along with Bell was his neighbour and close friend, Mohawk Chief George Johnson, the father of famous poet and lecturer, E. Pauline Johnson.

Hard to believe today, but in the 1870’s the Bell family of Tutela Heights and the Johnson family of Chiefswood considered each other neighbours and visited one other often. There is actually a picture of Bell and Johnson wearing each other’s best suit - Johnson in Bell’s business suit and Bell in Johnson’s best buckskins.

BRANTFORD — Will Bouma, MPP for Brant-Brantford, announced a $16.2 million investment towards the construction of a new elementary school on Shellard Lane in southwest Brantford.

“These are not just investments in bricks and mortar, our government is investing in the future of our children by creating a better learning environment,” said Bouma. “By building this new school, we are providing students with access to modern classroom settings and the latest technology, which

will lead to new opportunities and lifelong success.”

The new Grand Erie elementary school will welcome 650 new students as well as 64 new child care spaces.

“Shellard Lane is an area where we’re seeing extensive growth, with new families joining our board daily,” said Board Chair Greg Anderson.

“We’re delighted our new school will be the centrepiece of this fantastic community investment.”

The new school, which will be built near the corner of Shellard Lane and McGuiness Drive, will be a joint project with the City of Brantford and will feature a new public library and community centre.

“I am thrilled that the province is supporting the city of Brantford with an investment of over $16 million to build a new school with an adjoining Library and Community Centre in the southwest,” said Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis. “As one of the fastest growing areas in the city, this is such welcome news, and also consistent with a new approach that the City is developing to bring services closer to communities through our network of Community Centres. On behalf of a grateful community, I want to thank MPP Will Bouma for his advocacy on our community’s behalf and the province for their

continued support.”

Grand Erie currently has two elementary schools in southwest Brantford – Ryerson Heights and Walter Gretzky – both of which are overcapacity.

A timeline for the design and construction of the new school will be developed by Grand Erie and the City of Brantford over the next few months.

Funding for the school is part of a $550-million announcement Education Minister Stephen Lecce made earlier this week.

In total, 20 new schools, creating 16,000 student learning spaces, and 870 licensed child care spaces will be added across the province.

Indian day schools survivors are seeking truth and justice

By Jackson Pind PhD Candidate, Indigenous education, Queen's University, Ontario, Raymond Mason Community research partner, Peguis First Nation, and Theodore Christou Professor, Social Studies and History Education, Queen's University, Ontario In January 2020, Canada began accepting claims emerging from a billion-dollar settlement with survivors of the Indian day schools. This landmark settlement has been embroiled by legal battles as well as additional lawsuits. In the meantime, survivors and the public have yet to learn how the $200 million, earmarked for education, healing and commemoration, will be used.

An estimated 200,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend Indian day schools that operated on First Nations reserves in every Canadian province from the mid-1800s until 2000. While the government of Canada funded the schools, the daily operations were run by the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist churches and, later, the United Church of Canada.

We have collaborated on a new historical biography, Spirit of the Grassroots People: Seeking Justice for Indigenous Survivors of Canada's Colonial Education System. The perspectives we bring are as an Indian day school survivor and activist (Raymond), author of this book, a mixed settler-Anishinaabe historian (Jackson) and a white settler scholar of education (Theodore), the book's editors.

As historians of education, we believe that Canada must continue to come to grips with the full extent of its past.

Schools and curricula are a part of this past, as well as the present and the future. They also laid the historical foundation of inequality for Indigenous students.

Forced attendance, abuse Since the official submission date for claims opened in January 2020, survivors have been navigating the confusing and lengthy written application of documenting their trauma and abuse.

While the settlement covers the costs for survivors to file a claim with the designated legal counsel, only recently have survivors been able to hire their own lawyers, who they themselves must pay. In June of this year, survivors also learned that they cannot change the level of claim they previously submitted.

Survivors who submit an application are entitled to a minimum of $10,000 for ``harms associated with attendance'' at one of the 699 recognized schools.

This does not include the approximately 700 Indian day schools that the federal government excluded from the settlement. Former students who were physically or sexually abused could receive between $50,000 to $200,000 based on ``severity of the abuses suffered.''

This federal settlement was reached after extensive advocacy work by survivors.

Survivor Garry McLean, with Raymond, approached lawyers in 2016

after spending the previous seven years building a network of survivors and submitting a claim within the Manitoba court system. After extensive negotiations with the federal government, there was an announcement of an agreement in principle on Parliament Hill in December 2018. After additional negotiations, the final settlement worth $1.47 billion was announced in August 2019.

Survivors' work has opened up processes of legal acknowledgement of wrongdoing and thus made possible a form of justice and compensation.

As of Sept. 30, 2020 the settlement had received 84,427 claims and paid 27,690 survivors with another 56,737 applications still under review.

National inquiry into day schools It has been over five years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) presented their findings in a report and in Calls to Action. Since that time, ongoing injustices towards Indigenous peoples have led some to debate whether reconciliation is already dead.

Yet the truth that was uncovered through oral testimony and historical research as part of the TRC has provided valuable knowledge to those who are listening.

Numerous departments in universities, colleges and public schools have begun incorporating the history of Indian residential schools into their curricula.

This process of seeking the truth is unfortunately not happening for Indian day schools survivors, despite an estimated 2,000 individuals who are

Volume 8, Issue 12 Make advertising cheques payable to:

Garlow Media

passing away every year.

It is time for a national inquiry into the history of Indian day schools and their ongoing legacy for the education of Indigenous students in Canada.

Helen Raptis, who has studied the history of Indian day schools in British Columbia, has argued that our understanding of Indigenous education ``has been hampered by historians' almost singular focus on residential schooling.'' This is despite the fact that more students attended an Indian day school than a residential school in Canada.

Abuse, forced to abandon language When the federal government, plaintiffs and lawyers announced the day schools agreement in principle in December 2018, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett, acknowledged: ``As a result of the harmful and discriminatory government policies at the time, students who attended these schools were subject to sexual, physical and psychological abuse and forced to abandon their language and culture. Survivors across this country continue to suffer from the abuse and horrific experiences they were subjected to, which were perpetuated by the very people charged with educating them as children.''

Since this announcement, neither the government nor any of the religious organizations involved, have launched a national inquiry or issued a formal apology. If the federal government and church organizations are unwilling to support an investigation into the

full extent of survivors' accounts of abuse, then historians and the general public must make it a priority to learn this history.

Indian day school survivors and their descendants have already begun sharing their schooling experiences. Through organizing and sharing information about their claims and experiences on a growing Facebook group and articles by journalists such as Ka'nhehsi:io Deer, their stories are slowly becoming heard. The nearly 20,000-strong Facebook group offers mentors, guidance and a supportive community for survivors.

This virtual place has become a primary source of information for claimants.

Mapping Indian day schools From the perspective of survivors, such private forums are critical. However, they cannot replace the need for publicly accessible records, including digital records, for future generations of survivors' descendants, historians and the general public.

In research at Queen's University, we are now working towards a map-making project that will provide an online resource that visualizes the location of all Indian day schools and describes what archival files are available.

In addition to this, we invite Indian day school survivors to participate in a study that seeks to learn about their experiences through questions such as: What did you experience in Ontario's Indian day school? How did these experiences impact you later in life? What would you like to be remembered about the Indian day schools?

These questions are only small steps towards a wider goal of providing an option for Indian day school survivors to tell their history without the interference of the government, lawyers or a claims administrator. The oral history from survivors will play an essential role in the memory of these events as evidenced from the testimonies of survivors of residential schools.

Urgent response required There is an urgent need to document history related to the day schools, and also to commit to holding Canada accountable for systemic injustices that continue to harm Indigenous lives and communities today.

Sen. Murray Sinclair, who chaired the TRC, has criticized the way the federal government has handled records related to residential schools' survivors' accounts. He noted this June that: ``The disappearance [of records] is actually tragic because it means the information around the full and complete story of the residential school experiences ? is not going to be told.''

This is despite the TRC's call for a national review of archival policies.

An ongoing battle over the records of residential school survivors stories and missing files is still an issue more than a decade later.

Seeking truth in history should begin with study of our educational systems. These embed our values and beliefs. The Indian day schools are a part of Canada's history and directly affect every Canadian, not only those who survived them.

Indigenous people are fighting for their right to exist from coast to coast CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Indigenous communities have always been the canaries in the coalmine: whether that meant the reserve systems would become precursors of apartheid system developed in South Africa, or whether the rampant corruption caused by devolution of Indigenous sovereignty for the benefit of toxic patriarchy being imposed on reserves. We have been at the forefront of bad policy imposed on our communities to the detriment of our people.

As Canadians deal with COVID 19 and the economic fall out that affects their livelihood. First Nation Indigenous, who were never on firm economic footings, are not only dealing with the pandemic, but also with continued issues of poverty, sanitation, water shortages, housing, unemployment, ongoing habitat and environmental destruction, and the desecration of traditional lands.

From the Secwepemc Tiny house warriors in British Colombia to the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia, First Nation Indigenous still fight for land or rights attached to the land.

Throughout Canada, First Nations Indigenous people are battling against the pandemic and against the racist systemic oppression.

Prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, the hereditary houses of the Wet’suwet’en

of British Colombia waged blockades against Coastal GasLink, TC energy and a proposed pipeline that crossed their territory.

They were gaining ground and national support. The pandemic sent their efforts into a tailspin.

Meanwhile, the media, devoid of traditional Indigenous voices or understandings, continues to fumble the issues that surround First Nation Indigenous people. To mainstream media, the simple answer is the Indian Affairs-sanctioned Wet’suwet’en council has agreed to the pipeline. Mainstream media, is unschooled in tribal politics. In Wet’suwet’en territory, the hereditary chiefs have put up blockades demanding a voice in the pipeline talks. When your lens is this myopic, this cursory understanding suffices only for a 30 second report on the evening news.

Going east into Alberta, federal and provincial shenanigans have divided First Nation bands initially with Minister of Crown Relations Caroline Bennett’s interference in the 2018 Assembly of First Nation national chief’s election.

During the elections, Minister Bennett went into the Alberta caucus, cautioning chiefs to “stay the course” in their selection of national chief which would allow for resource buy-ins.

Premier Jason Kenney followed up on this federal promise with a fund created for First Nations to access to fight court

challenges when there is opposition to oil and gas.

Then Kenney, during the COVID hiatus, enacted Bill 1 – Critical Infrastructure Defense Act – which interferes in federal criminal powers and negates the charter of rights in the right for Indigenous people to protest or gather.

Going further east, the Mohawk and members of the Six Nations are holding space in Caledonia fighting a housing development with the 1492 Land Back movement.

Meanwhile in Nova Scotia, the Mi’kmaq specifically the Sipekne’katik First Nation are defending their right to fish while the province, the RCMP and the federal government silently watch.

What is the common denominator in all these actions? The First Nation Indigenous people who have always been here on this land agreed to share the land with the settler newcomers. Whether it was through the Peace and Friendship treaties, decrees made by Britain during the American revolution, “historic numbered” treaties, or the inherent rights still to be negotiated between British Colombia or territorial governments and the successor state Canada – the intent remains the same. The First Nation “owners” of the land are to maintain their livelihood with access to land and water in exchange for sharing this country.

What is the difficulty with this action? Canada

comes from a tradition where land has a monetary value – land is property – property is a right administered by the Crown. The original peoples were happy to share their knowledge and to live peaceably with the newcomers but once it became clear that sharing meant taking land, the First Nations Indigenous were forced to fight back.

Canada’s “success” to be its own country relied on First Nations peaceable support.

This support is at the core of the issue at Grand River in what is now “Ontario”.

Without the military skills of the original people, eastern Canada could well have been eastern USA. Today that benevolence is challenged.

Canadians rapidly agree with head nodding here – but are quick to also say this is history and they are “not responsible” for historical wrongs. Yet, they live in a province that exists because the original peoples fought alongside the British. They live in a country where they are “free”. They live freely fiercely maintaining that this freedom comes with “equality for all people”. Where is the equality when land is exchanged but the terms are altered or dishonoured?

On the eastern shores, the Mi’kmaq fished and traded their catches with other nations for millennia.

Today, the Mi’kmaq are fighting to fish even though this was an inherent right they always practiced: they have a treaty that predates Canada; then they obtained

constitutional protections with Section 35 in 1982; and finally in 1999 the Supreme Court put in further protections to allow Mi’kmaq fishing.

What does it say when you spend generations clarifying agreements and making concessions, only to have it thrown into upheaval because of the interests of interlopers.

The Indigenous people did not break the agreement.

Why then are non-natives freely destroying Mi’kmaq fishing equipment, catches and threatening violence without penalty? Various spokespeople have made mouth movements about “the passion” behind this situation, the jurisdictional kerfuffle and long whines about conservation. No spokesperson (that is non-native) has said this attack is racist. No spokesperson has addressed the deep-rooted racist attitudes that have festered in this country.

In the 1492 Land Back struggle, the courts are eager participants doling out fines and incurring further legal work – probably to get Canada’s economy moving again. In Alberta, interesting things are happening including one reserve where an INAC council is facing a forensic audit. In British Colombia the Sewepemc are being arrested.

The original peoples of this land were stewards and part of the land. The ancestral knowledge that has been handed down is in the language and in the land itself. This idea that

Indigenous people are part of the land has not been communicated to mainstream. If they continue to take “Canadian values” and apply them haphazardly to Indigenous situations, miscommunication and disrespect will continue.

The violence perpetrated by non-Indigenous people will continue.

The Indigenous people are holding the land and waters in ways that were always prescribed. But, as colonization makes larger footprints, little is done to inform, educate and restrict the activities of the non-Indigenous to bring them in line with the promises of Treaty. The Indian Act and the resultant councils that are extensions of Indian Affairs continue to assimilate or terminate the rights of First Peoples. It does not seem to matter that global science and international understanding have reached the knowledge bases of Indigenous. By the time Canada and the globe catch up with Indigenous thinking it will be too late.

They will be fighting over conservation of fish or lobster in a sea that has risen in volume and temperature.

They will be fighting over resources that have dwindled or become extinct.

They will be fighting a hotter planet without planning, and their capitalist agendas will collect dust while people struggle to survive pandemic after pandemic.

This is the Canada that is coming and this is why the Indigenous are fighting.

Indigenous led clinic to help community shaken by Joyce Echaquan's death CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MONTREAL — The idea is simple, says Jennifer Brazeau, executive director of the Native Friendship Centre in Quebec's Lanaudiere region: provide ``a culturally secure space'' where Indigenous people can get health care without feeling afraid.

Brazeau said a reluctance to seek health services in Joliette, Que., has grown over the past month after an Atikamekw mother of seven died in a local hospital after filming staff hurling racial slurs at her.

Joyce Echaquan's Sept.

28 death has shaken the province, raising questions about systemic racism in health care and leading to calls for the provincial government to both recognize the problem and take concrete action to stop it.

In Joliette, where about two per cent of the city's 47,000 residents identifies as Indigenous, Brazeau said the

long-standing need for a clinic where members of the community feel safe is more pressing than ever.

The proximity clinic, called Mirerimowin, will welcome its first patients Tuesday afternoon in a room at the Native Friendship Centre in the city about 75 kilometres northeast of Montreal. ``When we launched this, we even had pregnant women wanting to know if they could have their babies here, because they don't want to go to the hospital,'' Brazeau said in a recent interview.

The clinic will operate two afternoons per month, serving patients who are Indigenous and do not already have access to a doctor. Patients need to make appointments, and if the clinic cannot accommodate their needs, staff will try to guide and accompany them to other services, Brazeau said.

Dr. Samuel Boudreault, a Universite Laval professor and a physician in a family medicine group that is affiliated with the regional health agency, is one of two doctors volun-

teering at the clinic.

He said the doctors as well as medical residents will collaborate with social workers at the Native Friendship Centre to make sure patients are comfortable and get medical followups after their treatment. ``There is part of the population _ and I think Indigenous people are clearly part of that _ that does not have as easy access to the health system as the average person,'' Boudreault said in an interview Monday.

Joliette's proximity clinic is not the first of its kind in Quebec. Native Friendship Centres opened similar facilities in recent years in Val d'Or, over 500 kilometres north of Montreal in the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region, and in La Tuque in central Quebec.

The model works because it allows Indigenous people to feel more at ease accessing care, said Sebastien Brodeur-Girard, professor in the Indigenous studies department at Universite du Quebec en Abitibi-Temiscamingue.

``People are scared,'' said Brodeur-Girard, who was on the research team of a provincial inquiry known as the Viens Commission, which concluded last year that systemic discrimination against Indigenous peoples exists in Quebec's public services.

He said several people testified during the Viens Commission hearings about being discriminated against when seeking health care in Joliette, and complaints had been filed long before Echaquan's death. ``Joliette's case is not exceptional,'' Brodeur-Girard said in an interview, adding that similar issues exist across Quebec and Canada. ``Knowing they will be poorly received, that they will be pushed aside, that they won't be believed, that they will be subjected to discriminatory comments, some (Indigenous) people will avoid going to the hospital until it's too late,'' he said.

That's something

Brazeau hopes the proximity clinic will help tackle, but the project has limited resources and for now it will only be able to see eight patients per month.

Brazeau said she participated in a meeting in June with the local health agency and asked for material resources and medical personnel to be able to keep the clinic open one full day per week. ``So far they haven't mobilized to get any of those resources, and so we're making do with what we have,'' she said. ``We got a massage table as an exam table, and the doctor will bring his equipment with him.''

In an email, a spokeswoman for the regional health agency, Helene Gaboury, said the agency is aiding the clinic because doctors from the family medicine group are involved, and they are technically agency employees.

Gaboury said the doctors who offer services at the clinic will bring the

equipment they need with them, ``like when they provide at-home support.''

Asked what the regional health agency is doing to make sure Indigenous people feel safe accessing services, she said it held a workshop for staff over two days in mid-October to raise awareness on the realities Indigenous people face. It is also working with the Universite du Quebec en Abitibi-Temiscamingue ``to offer mandatory training for all staff and physicians'' beginning at the end of November, Gaboury added.

Brazeau said the Native Friendship Centre needs more support from the health agency, however, if it wants to expand the clinic to meet the community's needs.

Quebec also needs to recognize that systemic racism exists against Indigenous people if it wants to fix the problem, she said: ``It would be important for them to listen to us. That's the first step.''

Mi'kmaq fisherman to fight federal charges alleging illegal lobster catch CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HALIFAX — A fisherman from a Mi'kmaq community in Cape Breton says he intends to plead not guilty to charges of illegal fishing after his lobster traps were seized last year by federal fisheries officers in southwestern Nova Scotia.

Ashton Bernard, 30, of Eskasoni First Nation, said in a telephone interview Monday he will rely on the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Donald Marshall Jr. case.

The Supreme Court ruled that East Coast Indigenous communities have the right to fish for a moderate livelihood, citing peace treaties signed by the Crown in the 1760s. A subsequent clarification of the court's decision, however, also affirmed Ottawa's right to regulate the fishery to ensure conservation of the resource.

Bernard said he believes the first portion of the Supreme Court decision will prevail.

The Eskasoni First Nation is facing an economic crisis caused by racist attacks after exercising their Indigenous fishing rights.

``The highest court in Canada affirmed our treaty rights and we're allowed to fish under a moderate livelihood,'' he said. ``I wasn't going to wait around for the government to tell us when to fish or not. ``I told the boys, 'Let's go out and see how it goes,' and now we're into court.''

Bernard's case is proceeding amid tensions over the launching on Sept. 17 of a livelihood fishery by the Sipekne'katik First Nation, on the 21st anniversary of the Marshall decision.

Since the Sipekne'ka-

tik fishery began, federal Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan has confirmed she is committed to respecting the Mi'kmaq treaty right to pursue a moderate livelihood. Her officials have been in talks with the band to define the fishery.

The seizures of Bernard's catch occurred Sept. 7, 2019, when Bernard says fisheries officers raided his boat in the early hours of the morning and removed 32 crates of lobster.

He said he had caught the lobster after fishing off Pinkneys Point, N.S., about 20 kilometres south

Canadian Navigable Waters Act – Public Notice The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) hereby gives notice that an application has been made to the Minister of Transport, pursuant to the Canadian Navigable Waters Act for approval of the work described herein and its site and plans.

Pursuant to paragraph 7(2) of the said Act, Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) has deposited with the Minister of Transport, on the on-line Navigable Waters Registry (http://cps.canada.ca/) and under NPP File Number 2020-402815 a description of the following work, its site and plans: Replacement of Highway 401 eastbound and westbound bridges over the Grand River, including the use of temporary causeways in the Grand River during construction. At the Grand River adjacent to Part of Lots 6 and 7, Beasley’s Broken Front Concession, City of Kitchener, Regional Municipality of Waterloo, designated as Part 1 on Plan 58R-10990 Comments regarding the effect of this work on marine navigation can be sent through the Common Project Search site mentioned above under the Comment section (search by the above referenced file number) or, by sending your comments directly by email at NPPONT-PPNONT@tc.gc.ca or by mail to Transport Canada, Navigation Protection Program, 100 South Front Street, 1st Floor, Sarnia, Ontario, N7T 2M4.

Comments will be considered only if they are in writing (electronic means preferable) and are received not later than 30 days after the publication of the last notice. Although all comments conforming to the above will be considered, no individual response will be sent.

October 28, 2020 The Ontario Ministry of Transportation Valerie Nantais, P. Eng. Senior Project Engineer MTO West Region

of Yarmouth, for two days. He says his boat had a crew of four and was using 80 traps, and he says when he was approached by DFO officers on the water, he informed them he was fishing under provisions of the Marshall case.

Meanwhile in Ottawa, the House of Commons fisheries committee delved into the dispute Monday with testimony from Indigenous leaders.

Paul Prosper, the Assembly of First Nations' regional chief for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, told MPs it was a rude awakening when he learned the federal government doesn't always uphold treaty rights. ``There is no mechanism to force government to, under the laws of this land,'' he said. Indigenous fishers have been waiting for 21 years since Marshall decision for a mandate to practice their moderate-livelihood fishing rights, Prosper said.

Darcy Gray, chief with the Listuguj Mi'kmaq, a First Nation in Quebec, testified that his nation

has launched its own fishing management plan but continues to be rebuffed by federal authorities. ``For the last two falls, we have conducted our own self-regulating fishery,'' Gray said. ``Lobster stocks in our fishing area remain healthy.''

But the Department of Fisheries and Oceans prohibits the sale of his nation's lobster, he said. ``Every fall, we are refused. Every fall, the minister insists on prohibiting us from exercising our treaty right.''

Back in Yarmouth, Bernard was in provincial court on Monday to face charges of fishing outside of the closed federal season, lobster fishing without authorization and possessing lobster in contravention of the Fisheries Act. Two other First Nations fishermen, Zachery Nicholas and Rayen Francis from Pictou Landing First Nation, were also charged with those three offences.

Ashton Bernard's younger brother, Arden Bernard, is facing the same charges, and the

brothers are also both charged with violating Aboriginal communal fishing licensing regulations.

Another man, Michael Surette, is facing the same charges in the matter, and he said in a teleconference with the judge that he intends to hire a lawyer.

The lawyer for the Indigenous fishers, Michael McDonald, and the federal prosecutor agreed to set a date of Dec. 1 for election and plea in the case.

Before becoming a fisherman, Bernard played major junior hockey for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies and the Shawinigan Cataractes. He says he entered the fishing industry with a snow crab licence obtained by his band, and shifted into lobster fishing last year.

Bernard said he is currently fishing for lobster in St. Peters Bay in another of the recently opened livelihood fisheries. ``It's been 21 years since the Marshall decision, and we didn't want to wait another 21 years,'' he said.

Hockey Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier to coach NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Hockey Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier will once again find himself behind the bench.

Trottier, who served from 2014-2015 as the Buffalo Sabres assistant coach, will this time be coaching in the newly formed 3ICE league.

Set to officially kick off in June 2021, league commissioner Craig Patrick announced last spring that Trottier, who is the proud owner of seven Stanley Cup rings, will be one of the eight head coaches.

“I think it’s an opportunity for all of us to stay in the game,” Trottier said. “I really enjoy being part of something that’s innovative and at the same time, work with young players. We’re high-energy coaches.”

Trottier was selected in the 1974 Entry Draft in the first round — 22nd overall by the New York Islanders.

He executed an NHL career which over 15 seasons with the Islanders and three with the Pittsburgh Penguins, saw him play in 1,279 games, where he scored 524 goals and 1,425 points.

Following his playing career, which saw him win four Stanley Cups with the Islanders and two with the Penguins, Trottier, was inducted in 1997 into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

During, his induction speech, ‘Trots’ as he is affectionately known, thanked his mom for educating him and making him proud of his Indigenous ancestry.

This eight-time NHL All-Star embarked on his

OBTAINED BY TRT

coaching career with the Penguins when following his career, he served from 1993-1994 until 1996-1997 as the assistant coach.

Following his time as a Penguins coach, Trottier, who has Metis, Cree, Chippewa ancestry, was hired by the Colorado Avalanche as an Assistant Coach which really paid dividends in 2001 when he helped them to a Stanley Cup. Finally, in 2002 Trottier got his chance as a head coach after the New York Rangers hired him in what turned out to be an unforgettable stint as he led the blue shirts to a 21-26-6 record in his one and only stint as an NHL head coach.

In 2015 he was let go from his assistant coaching position.

Years later, Trottier is ready to grab the coaching reigns in the new eight team league which instead of regular season games consists of weekend tournaments of 3 on 3 hockey to be held in yet to be determined venues in Canada and the States.

“Craig said, Bryan, I think this will be a fun thing to do for a year,” Trottier said, in reference about Craig Patrick pitch. “See if you like it. If you don’t like it, at least you tried it.”

Each team will have six skaters and a goalie, and each tournament game will

be two eight-minute periods with the action being streamed online.

“I think it will be action packed, very few whistles,” Trottier said. “We’re going to try and keep the action moving because there’s going to be a few games every night.”

In terms of rosters, coaches will be observing next February a tryout involving approximately 120 talented players including former NHL players along with AHL and ECHL calibre experienced players. Afterwards, the coaches will be able to pick rosters from a supplemental draft.

“We’re going to try and get the highest talent we can,” Trottier said “I think it’s an opportunity for some NHL guys at the end of their career, AHL guys, high skill guys that want to play. It’s an opportunity to showcase their skills and maybe get one more look.”

The teams will play in eight tournaments, which will be held on Saturdays in what will be a single loss elimination format. Over the months, whichever four teams accumulate the most points over these tourneys will officially advance to compete for gold in the deciding Championship weekend.

Along with Trottier, also scheduled to coach are such elite talents as fellow NHL hall of famers Grant Fuhr, Larry Murphy, Guy Carbonneau, Larry Murphy and Angela Ruggiero.

Rounding out the coaches include former NHL 50 goal scorer John LeClair and Ed Johnson.

Toronto Six trade Kelly Babstock NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Kelly Babstock’s tenure with the expansion Toronto Six turned out to be short lived.

The 28 year old Ojibwe power forward signed on May 2 with the Six before being traded on October 15 to the Metropolitan Riveters.

Babstock, who is from Mississauga, is a respected NWHL veteran who starting in the inaugural season, 2015-16, played three straight years with the Connecticut Whale before switching in 2018-19 to the Buffalo Beauts. After not playing in the league last season, Babstock is looking to make a successful return.

Known for her explosive scoring, Babstock was recognized for her dominant play when she gained a spot on the 2017 and 2018 NWHL all-star teams.

Prior to playing in the NWHL, she excelled as a youngster with the PWHL’s Toronto Aeros. The next step for Babstock came at Quinnipiac University, where she ended up shattering all kinds of records including becoming the all time leader in goals at 95, first in assist 108 and points with 203.

Meanwhile, this athlete who was recently selected to the ECAC All Decade Team, has played in her career 65 NWHL games where she has dominated to the tune of 27 goals,

The NWHL’s Toronto Six made recent headlines when on October 15, they pulled the trigger on a trade which sent power forward Kelly Babstock to the Metropolitan Riveters in exchange for their 2021 first round pick and 2022 second PHOTO round pick

BY MAPLEHOCKEY.COM

60 points along with 94 penalty minutes.

In post season play Babstock has tallied four goals in seven career NWHL playoff games.

“Babs is bringing energy, experience, and a work ethic that very few of the players in this league can match,” Riveters coach Ivo Mocek said. “I definitely want to see what the former Buffalo combination with Emily Janiga would look like. Luckily, we have plenty of time to figure it out, but I already have ideas where she might fit in.”

Historically, over her 4 year NWHL career, Babcock has scorched the Riveters by scoring 15 goals and 23 points in 21 games as an opposition.

According to coach Mocek, Babstock has been on the Metropolitan Riveters radar for quite some time.

Only time will tell who won this blockbuster trade involving Babstock.

Gino Odjick facing relapse NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Whenever Vancouver Canucks fan favourite Gino Odjick, otherwise known as the ‘Algonquin Enforcer,’ stepped onto the ice, he was often greeted with a big applause. Loud chants of ‘Gino’, ‘Gino’ ‘Gino’ would echo from the Pacific Coliseum stands.

Odjick, who was selected 86th overall by Vancouver in the 1990 Entry Draft, enjoyed a respectable 12-year career which included eight years with the Canucks before stints with the New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens.

This 6-foot 3, 215pound forward who was born on the Kitigan Zibi First Nation broke into the NHL and had his best moments in Vancouver where that signature chant would ring down from the Pacific Coliseum rafters.

In 2014, he was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis,

a disorder causing abnormal proteins and antibodies, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, intestines and nerves.

Doctors at the time gave him only months to live — however he overcame and the disease went into remission.

Now, he has announced the disease has returned.

“Honestly, I was hoping it would not come back for twenty years or more,” Odjick said. “But I did get six free years of the disease.

Fortunately, in the eyes of the doctors, we caught the

prognosis and symptoms at the early stages of the disease.”

Moving forward, doctors are optimistic that with treatment, Odjick who is 50 years-old can regain one hundred percent of his health and once again beat this disease.

Over the past month or so after getting treatment from the hospital, Odjick admitted that health wise, he has improved.

“I personally would like to thank everyone for their positive thoughts and well wishes,” he said.

TWO ROW TIMES

The Six Nations community is in mourning after the tragic loss of two young boys in a devastating October 15 car accident.

This early morning accident, which occurred on Fourth Line, west of Chiefswood Road, resulted in the untimely deaths Vernon Henhawk, 15 and Kamren Powless, 14.

Both young men had a burning passion for lacrosse.

“They could always make you laugh,” Six Nations Minor Lacrosse President Kevin McNaughton said. “As a coach you shared their highs and lows. You invest a piece of yourself into the future generations that creates a bond that makes you family.”

McNaughton also added, “Several communities have sent thoughts and prayers across Ontario. As well as the United States.”

Showing what kind of tremendous impact these two individuals had,

McNaughton and a small group of kids raise their respective lacrosse sticks as a sign of respect and to say goodbye and salute as the casket passed by.

“It’s just one last salute before we can’t say goodbye anymore,” McNaughton said. “An honouring of being able to play or know an individual.”

Showing just how close the minor lacrosse family is, Six Nations have had many lacrosse communities from close and far away offer their sincerest condolences along with

raising their lacrosse sticks to honour the lives of Vern Henhawk and Kamren Powless.

Messages of condolences and photos of different aged lacrosse players were posted worldwide to the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Facebook page, holding their lacrosse stick high in the air as a salute and sign of respect for Henhawk and Powless.

This unfortunate tragic event, shows just how close and caring the minor lacrosse community really is.

Bellegarde wants Brenda Lucki out as head of RCMP CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA - The Assembly of First Nations has ``lost confidence'' in RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki after months of unrest, National Chief Perry Bellegarde said Friday as he called for her resignation. ``The safety and security of all Canadians, including First Nations people, must be the top priority of the prime minister and the federal government,'' Bellegarde wrote in a statement on Twitter.

He said he would be writing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ask him to replace Lucki with ``someone who will focus their attention on public safety and combating racism.''

The call for her resignation comes as the RCMP has faced heavy criticism for its response to violence toward a disputed Mi'kmaq moderate-live-

lihood lobster fishery in Nova Scotia.

Earlier this week, Lucki defended RCMP officers in Nova Scotia after Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said they had failed to properly protect Indigenous people there.

In statement responding to Bellegarde's call for her to go, Lucki said she's staying. ``I remain committed to fulfilling my mandate of modernizing the RCMP with a strong focus on advancing Indigenous reconciliation,'' the commissioner said.

Chief Michael Sack of the Sipekne'katik First Nation in Nova Scotia said Friday he supports Bellegarde's call for Lucki to step down. ``I think (it's) definitely the right call to make, seeing what happened here on the ground,'' he said.

Asked about the demand from Bellegarde Friday, Trudeau said the RCMP is responsible for keeping Canadians safe

but acknowledged the criticisms of the national police force in Nova Scotia, including over its response to the massacre by a man posing as a Mountie last spring. ``We have seen some challenges in Nova Scotia, not just recently but over the past many months with the terrible tragedy, in how the RCMP has been able to deliver, but at the same time, they continue to serve Canadians day in, day out, right across the country,'' Trudeau told a news conference in Ottawa. ``I've heard concerns from many Canadians about the functioning of our national police force.

We'll continue to listen to Canadians and work with ? the commissioner in terms of making sure that we continue to keep Canadians safe.''

Lucki has been RCMP commissioner since April 2018 and is the force's first permanent female leader.

She faced calls for her resignation in June, when she said in an interview that she believed there is ``unconscious bias'' in the RCMP but she was ``struggling with the definition of systemic racism.'' She later reversed herself in a written statement that said systemic racism does exist, though she has had difficulty citing examples.

Those remarks came at a time when there was an outcry over recent violence against Indigenous people in encounters with police, alongside a renewed focus on racism following the death of George Floyd, a Black man, at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

At that time, Trudeau expressed his confidence in Lucki, saying he has worked closely with her over the years and that he trusts her to lead reforms at the RCMP. On Friday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he supported Bellegarde's call for her to resign.

``Commissioner Lucki denied the existence of systemic racism in the RCMP _ then admitted it, but couldn't define it,'' Singh wrote on Twitter. ``Now, she's defended the failure of the RCMP in Nova Scotia. Justin Trudeau said he had confidence in her,'' he said. ``Does he still?''

NDP MP Niki Ashton, who represents northern Manitoba, went further: ``Time to disband the RCMP.'' Lucki confirmed this week more RCMP officers had been deployed to respond to the escalating treaty dispute between commercial fishers and Mi'kmaq fishers in southwest Nova Scotia.

Speaking Friday, Sack said the situation is calmer right now. ``We're happy about that, but, unfortunately, it was a little bit late,'' Sack said. ``A lot of damage has already happened.''

The RCMP is investigating several assaults

that targeted Indigenous people and property, including an attack on Sack.

A suspect was arrested and released from custody with conditions to have no further contact with the chief.

Sack, who said he would like the military to come in, said the RCMP's shortcomings in dealing with the situation in Nova Scotia are a result of systemic racism in the police force. ``If it was the other way around, we feel there would've been way more cops in the area,'' he said. ``There wasn't enough people to control the crowd,'' he said.

He said Indigenous fishers feel safer on the ground now but not on the water while fishing, adding there were about 120 commercial vessels in the area, compared to one Coast Guard vessel and one small RCMP inflatable boat. ``Our people were not protected ? flares were shot on them,'' he said.
