TWO ROW TIMES
At the onset of World War I, the Canadian government was not eager to recruit Indigenous men into service out of concerns it may be a treaty violation. By the year 1915 a substantial amount of casualties changed the mind of leadership, recruitment opened to Indigenous people and 4000 First Nations men enlisted across Canada. Six Nations represented the largest group of people from one community — with a total of 300 enlistments. Around the same time a Canadian named Glenlyon Campbell was appointed a commanding officer and directed to form an infantry battalion. He began recruiting Indigenous boys from schools in Western Canada and in three months time had recruited 1000 officers and men — half of which were members of

By September of 1916 the 107th Battalion — nicknamed the Timberwolf Battalion — was headed to Britain across the sea. One month later they arrived in Liverpool, England. Upon arriving in England the battalion was being divided as soldiers were sent as reinforcements to other units. Campbell took efforts to keep the Indigenous soldiers together, concerned that as individuals or small groups the men would be subjected to racism and poor treatment. The unit was designated as a pioneer

Official searches did not recover the plane, it’s pilot or Moses. They were listed as “presumed dead”. Records show the men may have been shot down by German forces and buried in unknown graves at the British Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery in France.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council says three new internet towers will be built on the territory. A partnership with A6N, SNGREC and Xplornet will see three structures built at the intersections of Chiefswood and Sour Springs Road aka 69 Corners, Fourth Line and Onondaga Road aka Stoneridge, and Sixth Line and Cayuga Road aka Beaver’s Coner. SNGREC said in a statement the current coverage on the territory does not meet the Canadian standard and the new towers will increase the community’s wifi coverage from 68% to 98%.
Six Nations may soon catch up to current national standards for internet accessibility with the construction of three new wifi towers. The lack of reliable signals compared to surrouding communities SUBMITTED PHOTO in Southern Ontario has long been a hindrance on the rez.
The move to increase internet signals on the territory became top priority after pandemic restrictions pushed many Six Nations employees to work virtually from home. Virtual Community Information Sessions are
set to take place later this month, with the first session on Monday November 30 from 9:00AM and 10:00AM. Geotechnical investigations and core sampling will begin at the tower site locations on Thursday

TWO ROW TIMES
CAYUGA — Ontario Superior Court Justice RJ Harper says Skyler Williams must pay $168,000 in legal bills for Foxgate Development, in the developers successful bid for a permanent injunction on the McKenzie Meadows housing site. Harper previously identified Skyler Williams of Six Nations the ‘leader’ of the occupations of the housing site and
Haldimand County roads. Now he is ordered to pay $117,824.28 to Foxgate and another $50,349 to Haldimand County to cover their legal bills. Permanent injunctions were issued by Harper on October 22, banning demonstrators from occupying the housing development site and blocking roadways in Haldimand County. Despite the ruling, the occupation and roadway blockades expanded after demonstrators stole heavy equipment and dug up McKenzie Road and Argyle Street South.

TWO ROW TIMES
The yearly commemoration of the Canandaigua Treaty is being moved to a virtual event for 2020. This year marks the 226th anniversary of the historic agreement between the Haudenosaunee people and the United States. It was a treaty, calling for peace and recognizing one another’s sovereignty and lawmaking abilities, and was signed by US officials for George Washington and the chiefs of the six Haudenosaunee nations. This year, the annual commemoration of the treaty by the Haudenosaunee will be streamed live on Facebook from the Ganondaga State Historic Site at 2:00 p.m. on November 11. Haudenosaunee leadership and Quaker representatives will be present to acknowledge the original signing. “Our rededication event is an important reminder to the U.S. that treaties are the supreme law of the land, and that this treaty continues to be valid and in effect,” said Peter Jemison a Seneca man and the Ganondagan State Historic Site manager. To view the event online go to https://www.facebook.com/Ganondagan
The Canandaigua Treaty of 1794 November 11, 1794 The President of the United States having determined to hold a conference with the Six Nations of Indians, for the purpose of removing from their minds all causes of complaint, and establishing a firm and
permanent friendship with them; and Timothy Pickering being appointed sole agent for that purpose; and the agent having met and conferred with the Sachems, Chiefs and Warriors of the Six Nations, in a general council: Now in order to accomplish the good design of this conference, the parties have agreed on the following articles, which, when ratified by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States, shall be binding on them and the Six Nations. Article I. Peace and friendship are hereby firmly established, and shall be perpetual, between the United States and the Six Nations. Article II. The United States acknowledge the lands reserved to the Oneida, Onondaga and Cayuga Nations, in their respective treaties with the state of New York, and called their reservations, to be their property; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb them or either of the Six Nations, nor their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof: but the said reservations shall remain theirs, until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States who have right to purchase. Article III. The land of the Seneca nation is bounded as follows: Beginning on Lake Ontario, at the north-west corner of the land they sold to Oliver Phelps, the line run westerly along the lake, as far as O-yong-wong-yeh Creek at Johnson’s Landing-place, about four miles eastward from the fort of Niagara; then southerly up that
creek to its main fork, then straight to the main fork of Stedman’s Creek, which empties into the river Niagara, above Fort Schlosser, and then onward, from that fork, continuing the same straight course, to that river; (this line, from the mouth of O-yong-wong-yeh Creek to the river Niagara, above Fort Schlosser, being the eastern boundary of a strip of land, extending from the same line to Niagara River, which the Seneca Nation ceded to the King of Great Britain, at a treaty held about thirty years ago, with Sir William Johnson;) then the line runs along the river Niagara to Lake Erie; then along Lake Erie to the north-east corner of a triangular piece of land which the United States conveyed to the state of Pennsylvania, as by the President’s patent, dated the third day of March, 1792; then due south to the northern boundary of that state; then due east to the south-west corner of the land sold by the Seneca nation to Oliver Phelps; and then north and northerly, along Phelps’ line, to the place beginning on Lake Ontario. Now, the United States acknowledge all the land within the aforementioned boundaries, to be the property of the Seneca nation; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb that Seneca nation, nor any of the Six Nations, or their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof: but it shall remain theirs, until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States, who have the right to purchase. Article IV. The United States having thus described and acknowledged

what lands belong to the Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas, and engaged never to claim the same, nor to disturb them, or any of the Six Nations, or their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof: Now the Six Nations, and each of them, hereby engage that they will never claim any other lands within the boundaries of the United States; nor ever disturb the people of the United States in the free use and enjoyment thereof. Article V. The Seneca Nation, all others of the Six Nations concurring, cede to the United States the right of making a wagon road from Fort Schlosser to Lake Erie, as far south as Buffalo Creek; and the people of the United States shall have the free and undisturbed use of this road, for the purposes of traveling and transportation. And the Six Nations, and each of them, will forever allow to the people of the United States, a free passage through their lands, and the free use of their harbors and rivers adjoining and within their respective tracts of land, for the passing and securing of vessels and boats, and liberty to land their cargoes when necessary for their safety. Article VI. In consideration of the peace and friendship hereby established, and of the engagements entered into by the Six Nations; and because the United States desire, with humanity and kindness, to contribute to their comfortable support; and to render the peace and friendship hereby established strong and perpetual; the United States now deliver to the Six
Nations, and the Indians of the other nations residing among and united with them, a quantity of goods of the value of ten thousand dollars. And for the same considerations, and with a view to promote the future welfare of the Six Nations, and of their Indian friends aforesaid, the United States will add the sum of three thousand dollars to the one thousand five hundred dollars, heretofore allowed them by an article ratified by the President, on the twenty-third day of April 1792; making in the whole, four thousand five hundred dollars; which shall be expended yearly forever, in purchasing clothing, domestic animals, implements of husbandry and other utensils suited to their circumstances, and in compensating useful artificers, who shall reside with them or near them, and be employed for their benefit. The immediate application of the whole annual allowance now stipulated, to be made by the superintendent appointed by the President for the affairs of the Six Nations, and their Indian friends aforesaid. Article VII. Lest the firm peace and friendship now established should be interrupted by the misconduct of individuals, the United States and Six Nations agree, that for injuries done by individuals on either side, no private revenge or retaliation shall take place; but, instead thereof, complaint shall be made by the party injured, to the other: By the Six Nations or any of them, to the President of the United States, or the Superintendent by him appointed: and by the Superintendent, or other person appointed by the President, to the principal

OTTAWA — A diverse group of notable Canadians, including Indigenous advocates and veterans, an Inuit artist and the first person of Chinese descent born in this country have been shortlisted to appear on the new $5 bill. Terry Fox, who captivated a nation as he ran to raise awareness and money for cancer research, is also among the eight names the Bank of Canada has sent to the government as it considers who should be featured on the bank note when it gets a redesign next year. The bank says it received more than 600 eligible names from nearly 45,000 Canadians, and an advisory committee whittled the list down to eight people. Who is on the shortlist? Pitseolak Ashoona: Born in the first few years of the 20th century, Ashoona was a self-taught artist. Her art, which has been shown around Canada and the world, reflects the ``old ways'' of the Inuit
of the Eastern Arctic. Robertine ``Francoise'' Barry: The first female French-Canadian journalist, Barry was an advocate for women's right to vote, post-secondary education and victims of domestic violence. Binaaswi (Francis Pegahmagabow): The most highly decorated Indigenous soldier in Canadian history was a veteran of the First World War and later advocated for Indigenous rights in Canada. Won Alexander Cumyow: Born pre-Confederation, he is the first known Chinese-Canadian to be born in Canada and used his language skills —he was fluent in Cantonese and English — to bridge racial and linguistic divides in Vancouver and helped change attitudes toward Chinese people in this country. Terry Fox: His ``Marathon of Hope'' raised millions of dollars for cancer research. Cancer halted his run and ultimately
took his life, but communities still hold annual runs to raise money for cancer research. Lotta Hitschmanova: Immigrating to Canada in 1942, the Czech-born refugee was the founder of the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada and worked tirelessly to help people, especially children, in Europe, India, Nepal, Palestine, Indonesia and Africa. Isapo-muxika/Sahpo Muxika (Crowfoot): A leader of the Blackfoot Confederacy, he was an advocate for peace among Indigenous nations, and between Indigenous Peoples and settlers, and was key to Treaty 7 negotiations. Onondeyoh (Frederick Ogilvie Loft): Founded the first pan-Canadian Indigenous group in 1918 to advocate for Indigenous rights, laying the foundation for modern regional and national organizations. He was also a Mohawk chief and veteran of the First World War.

Land Back Lane Legal Update
A Message to Ohswekenhrohono:
Skyler Williams self-represented for the civil proceedings. This work was completed by the “Land Back Legal Team” - a group of community members with no formal legal training. The work done by the legal team was purely a labour of love for the Land Defenders and our coming generations. We estimate that this effort has saved roughly $500,000 in legal costs, this means that more people can be supported with criminal charges and moving the civil proceedings to the next level of the courts will be possible.
We would like to thank the community for your support during the last 114 days. We have had 114 days full of love, trust, and perseverance that has only strengthened our belief in our community. This action is driven by a core group of Haudenosaunee Land Defenders who grew up at Six Nations, supported by our broader community and allies who are dedicated to protecting our lands and sovereignty. We are very much aware of the longstanding issues in our community and fully realize the complexity and scope of unifying our community. However we remain committed to bringing our people together. The camp has been working to maintain open communication with both SNEC and the HCCC. We are encouraged by the progress we have seen and are hopeful that conversations will continue moving ahead. Throughout our time at 1492 Land Back Lane we have had countless conversations with people about how to move forward. We have heard many concerns about land, governance and the future we are creating for our coming generations. Now more than ever we need to continue these conversations to ensure safety of Land Defenders and that we are moving forward in the best way that is reflective of the wants and needs of the community. We would like to continue community discussions on how to move forward, together. We understand that we need community input and we cannot make these decisions alone. Proposed Meetings Please bring face masks and observe social distancing. We will have spare masks and hand sanitizer available. If you are sick or have been in contact with anyone who has been sick, please participate in discussions through social media. We will be posting updates on social media and mailouts.

We ask for your compassion and understanding as we navigate these issues while under the constant threat of police violence. Our collective of Land Defenders have placed our lives and freedoms on the line for our future generations. We cannot express how amazing it has been to have the support of thousands of people who have donated their time, energy and supplies to sustain us. Whether you have shared conversations, meals, donated, or supported our fundraising efforts, your encouragement lifts our spirits and is sustaining us.
The 1492 Land Back Lane Camp is dealing with two separate legal issues. The first is a civil case which includes an injunction on the site that our spokesperson Skyer Williams is a named party to. The second is the mounting criminal charges related to the enforcement of the injunction. Civil Update
There were several affidavits filed with nearly 600 pages worth of evidence, as well as a constitutional question and filings to involve both the province and the federal government. On Oct 22 2020 Judge Harper ruled to not allow Skyler to engage in the court process or defend himself in any way. All of these items were removed from the court record. Judge Harper proceeded to grant a permanent injunction for Land Back Lane and every road in Haldimand County. Due to the complexities of an appeal we have we have retained Ross & McBride to complete the appeal. This again is possible due to the substantial work that the Land Back Lane Legal team has completed to date and the ongoing fundraising and support from all over. Criminal Update The Land Back Lane Legal Team has been working hard to provide every individual charged with the legal support that they need. To date there have been 33 people charged and a total of 77 charges in connection violating the injunction. We estimate that there will be roughly 80 people charged with over 300 charges. We currently have 22 criminal lawyers working in various capacities to support the Land Defenders. Some of these lawyers have agreed to provide pro-bono services, some have agreed to provide legal aid services. We know that not all individuals charged will qualify for legal aid. We also know that we do not have enough lawyers to cover all individuals. Getting one individual through trial can cost several thousands to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the complexity of the charges and the arguments put forward. We have committed to continuing our fundraising efforts to ensure that no matter the complexity of an individual's case, they will have the support needed. Our goal as the legal team and camp is to honour the sacrifice people have made by taking care of them and that the criminalization of our people be minimized as much as possible. No one should have to face this alone and we are working hard to take care of everyone and their legal needs. This is a monumental task, but we are committed to supporting our Land Defenders. Love and Unity, 1492 Land Back Lane

Halfbreed Scrip: how newborn Canada dispossessed Metis from the northwest NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
When Canada was still forming as a country, works were underway to displace indigenous people from their lands. For the First Nations people, they were offered treaties. For the Metis people, they were offered scrip. Under the Manitoba Act of 1870, Metis scrip was established as a less expensive solution than entering treaty relationships with the people in the province. The Manitoba Act established the legal process for “extinguishment of the Indian Title to the lands in the Province” and guaranteed “one million four hundred thousand acres of land for the benefit of the families of half-breed residents”. In the simplest of terms — scrip was a coupon issued by the North West Half Breed Commission. Throughout the late 1800s, Metis people were issued scrip coupons that could be redeemed for
This is a Metis Scrip - issued by the North West Half Breed Commission in the late 1800s. This redeemable coupon was used by Canadian officials to extinguish Indigenous title to Metis people and is now part of a large claim against Canada for depriving Metis of their homelands. ARCHIVES CANADA
240 acres of land or 240 dollars. Zachary Davis, legal counsel for the Metis Nation of Alberta, explained Metis scrip saying, “When Canada, the new country, acquired the lands that became the prairies provinces from the Hudson’s Bay Company — it did so with he promise that was worked into the Canadian constitution that they would deal with the claims of the indigenous people in the territory. There were two people at the time, and it
was acknowledged at the time — the First Nations and the Metis. The First Nations got treaties. The Metis got scrip. Scrip was very different. Scrip was an individual entitlement, a coupon, that could in theory be redeemed for land. The issue is that it was extremely convoluted and difficult to exchange the coupon for land. And in a lot of cases the land that could be acquired wasn’t anywhere near where they were or anywhere where the Metis people wanted to live.”
As a result, the Metis people did not get the land they were promised, were dispossessed from their traditional territories and ended up squatting on road allowances and crown land. A second problem, according to Davis, is that white speculators ended up illegally claiming the land set aside for Metis through fraudulently cashing in scrip coupons. In an investigation in the 1920s, the Department of Justice acknowledged that 65% of scrip was cashed in for
money while the remaining 35% was redeemed for land. Metis people would sell their scrip to white land speculators. “White people had to present themselves at the land office and often what they did was they engage in fraudulent impersonation,” said Davis. Further research of the fraudulent redeeming of scrip showed that “90% of scrip passed in to the hands of speculators, including chartered banks, private dealers, etc., and only 10% was ever used by the Métis themselves” This was so well known at the time — the Metis brought a legal case against on individual who made a significant profit off of fraudulently cashing in on Metis scrip. To push back — Davis said Canadian government officials made amendments to the Criminal Code which made it impossible to prosecute Metis scrip — protecting white land speculators and white interests and making sure the Metis got nothing. Additionally — Canada denied the claims of
Metis scrip to anyone who fought in the 1885 Louis Riel rebellion, anyone who joined the rebellion even if they didn’t fight and any widows or children of men who were involved in the conflict. In 2019, a lawsuit was filed by a coalition of Metis people, descendants of those denied scrip entitlement in Saskatchewan and Alberta, seeking redress for being wrongfully deprived of their lands. The claim covers an area of 120,000 square kilometres crossing the Saskatchewan and Alberta borders and lands rich in oil. The plaintiffs are not seeking to remove anyone from the land involving the claim and are in support of resource extraction on the land but are demanding that justice is done for the descendants of the Metis who were originally displaced from their communities. The coalition says they expect the case will end up in the Supreme Court of Canada.
Taking care of your teeth is about more than a nice smile Dental health is a key part of overall health and well-being and whatever your age, practising good dental hygiene and following healthy lifestyle habits is more important than ever during the pandemic. Did you know there’s a link between dental health and diabetes? People with diabetes are at greater risk for dental problems like gum disease and infections that can make it harder to control diabetes. The good news is that treating either gum disease or diabetes can lead to improvements in the other! To help keep your mouth in good shape: •
Brush and floss your teeth daily.
•
Eat a balanced diet, rich in vitamins and low in processed sugar.
•
Avoid or cut back on mouth-damaging habits like drinking pop or alcohol and smoking cigarettes, marijuana and vaping.
•
Regular exercise and meditation can help reduce the impact of stress on your mouth and immune system.

COVID-19 Vaccine Myth Busters Information available on the internet can be full of fact and fiction. It can be a challenge to filter through what is fact and what is fiction, especially with something so new like the potential vaccine of COVID-19. Here are some myths and facts about the potential COVID-19 vaccine.
Myth #1: Antibiotics can prevent/cure COVID-19
Fact: Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not bacteria. Therefore, antibiotics do not work against the COVID-19 virus itself. However, if you had COVID-19, it actually weakens your immune system. This could lead to you being more susceptible to bacterial infections; so in turn, antibiotics would be used for those more severe COVID-19 cases that also have bacterial infections occurring at the same time.
Myth #2: Pneumonia and influenza (flu) vaccines provide protection against COVID-19 Fact: Pneumonia and flu vaccines may not protect you against COVID-19, as the virus is new and different. However, receiving the annual flu vaccine can help to protect you from influenza. If you had the influenza virus at the same time as the COVID19 virus, it could lead to a more severe outcome and complications.
Myth #3: Currently there is a medication licensed to prevent/cure COVID-19
Fact: Currently there is no licensed medication to prevent or cure COVID-19. Although, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) there are 31 candidate vaccines in clinical evaluation worldwide.
Myth #4: The potential COVID-19 vaccine will be unsafe and ineffective because it was rushed to develop

Fact: To date there have been no deaths related explicitly to any of the potential COVID-19 vaccines currently in clinical evaluation.
Myth #6: The COVID-19 vaccine will include a tracking microchip
Fact: The claim that the COVID-19 vaccine will include a tracking microchip has been denied by researchers. There is also no evidence to support this claim for the vaccines in clinical evaluation.

Fact: All vaccines must go through a rigorous course of testing and meet regulatory requirements to ensure public safety and the benefits to make the vaccine public outweigh the potential risks when a vaccine is released.

The Little Native Hockey League Tournament (LNHL) has once again been cancelled. This event which draws approximately 200 teams and 3,000 people from First Nations communities from across the province was set to take place this coming March break in Mississauga. Now officials with the Little NHL made it official on Thursday, cancelling the 2021 tournament. Marian Jacko, president of the LNHL executive said organizers heard from 120 respondents after issuing a survey to previous teams, asking if the tournament should resume for the upcoming season. “A lot of them were urging us to postpone it or cancel it or have some other format.” Last March, just days before Opening Ceremonies, the 2020 Little NHL tournament was officially canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the province — and just a few days before Ontario went into full lockdown. “I can’t say that I’m shocked. A bit of a disappointment but safety first,” Six Nations Minor
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Little NHL tournament will be cancelled for a second year in a row.

Hockey Vice-President Dennis MacDonald said. “I think it is a big disappointment for the kids. They look forward to it every year. I don’t think this compares to other tournaments because there’s so many different skill levels of players that compete in the tournament.” Following a meeting between the Nipissing First Nation host committee and the Little NHL executive committee, Nipissing First Nation Chief Scott McLeod stated, “I guess the only concern now, and it goes beyond the tournament, is when are we going to return to a state to have a tournament of this magnitude.”
Looking to the future, there is no anxiety that this annual March break tournament, which began in 1971, will lose its luster after not being able to have it for a couple of years. “The spirit of the tournament is still alive and well,” McLeod said. “I think this tournament is entrenched in First Nation communities across Ontario. In fact, I think it might come back stronger than ever.’ Nipissing was set to host the tournament for 2020. Officials say the community can retain their right to host an upcoming tournament in the future.

Any hopes of playing out the remainder to the 2020 Arena Lacrosse League season disappeared when league president Paul St. John made the difficult decision to cancel. Late last season, with playoffs right around the corner, St. John officially suspended the season due to the spreading COVID-19 pandemic. Originally, the plan was to continue where they left off in the fall. Now, officials announced they were officially pulling the plug on finishing off the 2020 campaign. “It’s been a long seven and a half months since we shut down the season in March,” St. John said in a statement posted to the ALL website. “We had so much optimism that with only a couple weeks left in the regular season and two weekends of playoffs that COVID-19 would have subsided and we could have returned to finish the year. As we all know that has just not happened and with a second wave currently hitting record numbers here in Ontario, we don’t know when full contact leagues like the ALL and other sports can return to play.” St. John emphasized how the health and safety of the players, coaches, staff, officials, volunteers and fans are most important. The Six Nations Snipers got off to a rough start

as they lost their first six games before successfully turning things around with five straight wins which had them tied for fourth spot with the defending ALL men’s champions, St. Catharines Shockwave. “They held out hope al long as they could to finish up and have a champion,” Six Nations Snipers coach Darcy Powless said. “We as a team and community are disappointed. We were on a good run and moving up quickly in the standings and rankings.” Powless, went on to add, “We were set for a showdown with number one Steelhawks when the season was cancelled. That was going to be a great game to see.” The focus is now on the 2021 season as the league is keeping tabs on the recommendations of the Ontario Government
and Municipalities on their Return To Play policies. “Without clearance from the Ontario Government and its Municipalities that it is safe to resume full contact sports, we will also have to delay the start of the 2021 season,” St. John said. “Once we have clearance to Return to Play, we will update our players, officials and our great group of volunteers when we can play a season that is safe to everyone involved, hopefully that will be sometime in the new year but we just don’t know when.” For now, all the players, management and fans can do is wait until they get the necessary green light to begin. Meanwhile, over in the women’s Division, the Lady Snipers and Lady Shockwave found themselves tied for first place with a 6-2 record when play was stopped in March.

NHL centre Dale McCourt was from the Frog Lake First Nation
the 1977 Canadian Major Junior player-of-the-year. After that last year, McCourt had broken all sorts of junior records as he ended up scoring 193 goals and 286 assists in 296 total junior games, before eventually being
selected first overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1977 NHL Entry Draft. Making an immediate impact, McCourt had a solid rookie season which saw him score 33 goals and 72 points to finish fourth in the Calder Trophy voting for NHL Rookie of the Year. Life was good for McCourt who avoided the dreaded sophomore jinx by producing 71 points (28 goals, 43 assists) in his second season. Coming from hockey bloodlines, McCourt, whose uncle is former Toronto Maple Leafs’ captain and Hockey Hall of Famer George ‘Chief’ Armstrong, hit the 30 goal, 80 plus point plateau in his third and fourth campaigns. During the 1981/82 season, McCourt saw his tenure with Detroit come to an end. After starting out the season with 13 goals and 27 points in 26 games, he was part of a blockbuster trade which saw his rights shipped to the Buffalo Sabres. McCourt made an immediate solid impression with Buffalo by totalling 20 goals and 42 points in 52 games played.

Starting in 1975/76, this veteran spent two seasons playing for the Cleveland Barons before winding up his career in 1978/79 for the WHA Edmonton Oilers where he competed in 35 games. During his tenure with New York, Neilson was a serious candidate for the Norris Trophy, which goes to the NHL’s best defenceman. While playing for the Rangers, Neilson was a second team all-star in 1967-68, when he scored six goals and 35 points while racking up 60 penalty minutes. The following season saw him post career highs in goals with 10 and points at 44. The highlight came in the 1971-72 season when Neilson was on a Rangers
team which made the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1950. They ended up falling just short as they lost to the Boston Bruins in six games. His NHL career spanned 1,023 games where he totalled 69 goals, 368 points along with 904 penalty minutes. Recognized for his long career, Neilson was indicted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall Of Fame along with the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. “The Rangers mourn the passing of Jim Neilson. The ultimate defensive defenceman,” The Rangers said in a statement. “Jim’s quiet demeanor and selfless nature belied the integral role he played on some of the best teams in NYR history. Our thoughts are with Jim’s family, friends& countless people he influenced.” He will be sadly missed by the National Hockey League.

Decades ago, Dale McCourt was a prominent name in Junior hockey. Born in Falconbridge Ontario, McCourt had a standout junior career which included three straight seasons of 50 or more goals in the OHA along with leading the Hamilton Fincups to the 1976 Memorial Cup Championship. McCourt (Frog Lake First Nations), had a year to remember when in 1976, he led the team offensively with 55 goals, and 139 points in 66 regular season games played. Continuing to show why he was looked upon as a potential NHL star, this 5’10’’ 180 -pound centreman who was team captain, scored some big playoff goals that year, as he eventually captured the Stafford Smythe Memorial Cup MVP honors.

The National Hockey League suffered a crushing blow with the passing of former defenceman Jim Neilson. Neilson, who played 12 of his 16 NHL seasons with the New York Rangers and was considered among the teams greatest players passed away on Friday, November 6, 2020 at the age of 78. “He was respected. He was class. He was a big boy; a good athlete,” said Fred Sasakamoose, who was the NHL’s first treaty Indigenous player. “I respected him because of the way he handled himself. He was really a gentleman. It’s difficult sometimes when you’re on that ice—you’re just like a tiger. He was a strong man, raw-boned, and he looked after him-

self real good in the NHL with no difficulty. That’s the kind of person he was. He trained hard, and that’s why he stayed there for so long.” Born November 28, 1941, in Big River Saskatchewan, Neilson, who was affectionately known as ‘Chief’ broke into the NHL in 1962/63, where for 12 years he was a fixture on the Rangers
The following year, he would produce 20 goals and 52 points in his final season wearing Sabres colors. After starting out the 1983/84 season by scoring a goal and four points in five games, this 1977 first round pick was once again on the move as he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs’. In his one and only season with the Buds, McCourt scored 19 goals and 43 points, in his final National Hockey League season. Not ready to hang up the skates, McCourt moved to Europe, where starting in 1985/86, he played six seasons for the Ambri -Piotta in Switzerland. Playing overseas, McCourt’s best year came in 1988/89, when he produced 43 goals along with 68 points. McCourt, also proudly represented Canada at two World Championships. In a stellar junior
career, McCourt, upon graduating held numerous offensive records, as he finished up with 193 goals and 286 assists in 296 total games played with the Sudbury Wolves, Hamilton Red Wings (Who changed their name to Fincups) and St. Catharines Fincups. Finishing his junior career on a high, McCourt was chosen in 1977 the Canadian Major Junior Player of the Year. He was also nominated in backto-back years (1975-’76) and (1976-’77) as the OHA’s most Sportsmanlike Player. When McCourt’s playing career ended, he went behind the bench where he spent two seasons coaching the Berlin Capitals of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. While he might not have won a Stanley Cup, McCourt gave Indigenous hockey fans a reason to feel pride in his solid career.

TWO ROW TIMES
HALIFAX — Premium Brands Holdings Corp. and a group of Mi'kmaq First Nations are buying Clearwater Seafoods Inc. for $1 billion, including debt. The deal announced Monday would be the largest investment in the seafood industry by a Canadian Indigenous group and comes eight months after Halifax-based Clearwater said it was exploring a possible sale. Clearwater shareholders would receive $8.25 per share which represents a 60.2 per cent premium to the average volume-weighted average price for the 20-day period preceding the strategic review announcement on March 5. The transaction has received unanimous approval of Clearwater's board
and is subject to approval by Clearwater shareholders in January. The Mi'kmaq First Nations coalition, led by the Membertou First Nation, and Premium holdings will each acquire half ownership of Atlantic Canada's largest fishing company that was founded in 1976. The Mi'kmaq expect to hold Clearwater's Canadian fishing licences within a fully Mi'kmaq-owned partnership. ``This is a transformational opportunity for the Mi'kmaq to become significant participants in the commercial fishery through the investment in existing infrastructure, management expertise, and a global market presence.'' stated Membertou First Nation Chief Terry Paul. Paqtnkek, Pictou Landing, Potlotek, Sipekne'katik, and We'koqma'q have confirmed their intention to participate with Mem-
bertou and Miawpukek in the investment. ``I am very pleased to recommend this transaction. It represents great value for shareholders, leverages the expertise within the company while advancing reconciliation in Canada,'' said Clearwater chairman Colin MacDonald. ``I am confident that this transaction will enhance the culture of diversity and sustainable seafood excellence that exists at Clearwater.'' Each of Clearwater's directors, the CEO and chief financial officer, which control 63.9 per cent of outstanding shares, have entered into agreements to vote in favour of the transaction. Premium Brands said it will raise $250 million of new equity capital from a $200-million bought deal public offering and a $50-million concurrent private placement with CPP Investments.
