SIX NATIONS — The two men wanted in connection to the shooting death of Andrew Davis are now in police custody and charged with first-degree murder. Police arrested Andrew Brent Smoke, 24, of Six Nations on December 3. His accomplice, Eric Jerome Smoke, 22, of Hamilton was arrested on December 11. On Monday, November 30 at around 5:18 p.m. police and ambulance along with the Brant OPP Canine Unit responded to reports of a shooting on Cayuga Road. Police say the victim, Andrew Davis, 27, of Six Nations was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering gunshot wounds. At the time police reported there was no public safety risk as the victim and suspects were known to each other. Officers informed the public they were in pursuit of the two men who were believed to have fled the scene on foot. Residents were warned to avoid the area of Cayuga Road between 5th and 6th Lines while the search for suspects was underway. The search that evening was not successful, with police pursuing the suspects for the next two weeks. Just before Eric Smoke’s arrest, OPP sent out an update issuing photos of the 22 year old
Andrew Davis was remembered by his family and friends over the weekend during funeral and memorial services. The two men responsible for his death are facing first degree murder charges and PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT were arrested earlier this month.
indigenous man and saying members of the public should not approach him, that he may be considered armed and dangerous and headed to Hamilton. Just a few days after that notice went out to local media, he was arrested without incident. The Six Nations community offered condolences to the Davis family as Davis, who was called Scruff by friends and family, was memorialized across social media. Friends and family called him a loving father, kind friend and someone who was known for his happy, jovial personality — many of them shocked that someone would have any reason to cause him any harm. Davis was a part of the
Ironworkers Local Union 736. He is survived by a young daughter, his parents, brothers, sister, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held on December 6. In a video posted to social media, Inspector Tim Bomberry of Six Nations Police and Mary Louise Kearns of the OPP appealed to the public looking for witnesses to come forward with details to assist in the investigation. “We are encouraging additional witnesses to come forward with information in this case,” said Kearns. Anyone with information is asked to contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Six Nations Police at 519-4452811.

TWO ROW TIMES
HALDIMAND COUNTY, ON - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Haldimand County Detachment have charged two individuals over the weekend with drinking and driving offences in Haldimand County, ON. On Friday December 11, 2020 at 6:19 p.m., OPP, Haldimand County Fire Services and Haldimand County paramedics responded to a collision on Concession 2 Walpole near Sandusk Road where a passerby reported a tractor trailer was on its side and it appeared the driver needed medical assistance. Haldimand County paramedics transported the driver to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. While officers spoke with the driver, signs of impairment were detected and they were arrested. Further investigation determined the driver was more than double the legal limit. OPP has charged 47-year-old Peter MAY of Simcoe, Norfolk County, ON with: Impaired operation of a motor vehicle and Driving a motor vehicle with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. On Saturday December 12, 2020 at 11:19 p.m., OPP were conducting patrols on King Street East in Hagersville when a vehicle caught their attention. OPP stopped the vehicle and investigated. When officers spoke with the driver, signs of impairment were detected and the driver was placed under arrest.
Breath tests conducted determined the driver was two times above the legal limit. OPP has charged 67-year-old Ralph Jonathan of Selkirk, Haldimand County, ON with: Impaired operation of a motor vehicle and Driving a motor vehicle with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The accused individuals had their drivers licences suspended for a minimum of 90 days and vehicles were impounded. Both are to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cayuga at a later date to answer to the charges.
Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Chief Mark Hill says the COVID-19 vaccine currently being administered to health care workers across the province will be available to Six Nations residents but will not be mandatory. "It ultimately comes down to personal choice," said Chief Hill. "We want to advocate for this vaccine in the case of members wanting it. Ultimately it's nothing that's imposed or mandatory." As the first shipments of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Ontario last week, with a secretive shipment landing at Hamilton's John C. Munroe International Airport on Sunday, it's a matter of time before Indigenous communities start rolling out their vaccination campaigns. It's not known when Six Nations will receive its first batch of the vaccine or when local health care workers will be inoculated. "It's going to be very difficult to do the logistical
aspects and planning," said Wright. Six Nations' Emergency Control Group, made up of band staff and elected council members, will work on a vaccine administration plan, said Wright. “We need the community to be aware that it will likely be several weeks before we have access to the vaccines. A community based COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force team is working with all available information and engaging in a fulsome planning process that is reflective of rapidly evolving planning that is happening Federally and Provincially,” said SNGR in an emailed statement to TRT late Tuesday. “As of today, timelines are unclear as to when the vaccines will be available for roll-out at the community level therefore Ohsweken Public Health is not aware of any Six Nations community members who are eligible, this early in the rollout. Ohsweken Public Health is already receiving requests from the community regarding how they can access the vaccine, but it is too early to direct them.”
Indigenous communities are expected to receive 40,000 of the initial 249,000 doses delivered to Canada, said SNGR Elected Councillor Nathan Wright. A provincial Covid vaccine task force with an Indigenous sub-committee will be handling the logistics of vaccine shipments to First Nation communities, Wright told SNGR’s General Council last Tuesday. A number of health care workers in Toronto and Ottawa have already received the vaccine. Hamilton is the next city where health care workers are set to be vaccinated. It's not known if any Six Nations health care workers or elders will receive the vaccine this week. The vaccine must be stored at a frigid -70°C, Wright said, after he and the elected Chief held a meeting with regional chiefs last week to discuss the vaccine rollout. Premier Doug Ford is among the leaders calling on Ottawa to provide more clarity as officials work to develop a provincewide vaccination strategy. Health Minister Christine Elliott has said Ontario will
receive 1.6 million doses of the new vaccine from Pfizer and 800,000 doses from Moderna in early 2021, although federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu said such details were still in the works. Ford has named former general Rick Hillier, who served as chief of defence staff, to oversee the province's vaccine rollout. Nine others were named to the provincial vaccine task force on Friday, including medical experts, the province's chief coroner, former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders, Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald and bioethicist Dr. Maxwell Smith. The province had initially said it would develop its vaccine plan by year's end, but earlier this week Ford said the province would be ready even if the vaccines arrive sooner. He has urged Ottawa to provide detailed information on potential vaccine delivery. ``We need a clear line of sight into the timelines of the shipments,'' Ford said. - with CP files.

Six Nations schools could be re-opening in February after federal officials and local educators introduced a variety of safety measures for staff and students in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Kathleen Manderville, director of education for Six Nations' federally-operated schools, unveiled the plan at a Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council meeting on Tuesday morning that was livestreamed to the council’s Facebook page. Feb. 1 is the targeted re-opening date. Six Nations schools were shuttered in March as Covid-19 fears grew across the province resulting in numerous lockdowns and closures of all but essential businesses. Provincially, schools were back in session this past September, while Six Nations opted to keep schools closed, with students learning from home instead. Manderville said even if schools re-open in February, parents are free to continue with remote learning. "There will be parental choice," she told elected council. "Remote learning will continue even when the schools are open." Manderville said
remote learning, "is very impactful for (students) in terms of their emotional needs." She said their well-being will improve when they're back in the social environment at a school building. Kids who have had to stay home during the pandemic have suffered a number of consequences, she said, such as increased exposure to online bullying, human trafficking, economic struggles, lack of access to adequate Internet services, and loss of exposure to language and culture. Those increased stressors are some of the motivating factors in re-opening schools. Educators are suggesting kids go to school in family groups or "cohorts" where students alternate in-person learning days with remote learning to reduce the number of kids in classes, allowing for physical distancing between students. Desks will be placed further apart, plexiglass barriers will be put up, masks will be worn by both staff and students throughout the day and there will be enhanced cleaning throughout the schools. They're also looking to hire "Covid janitors" specifically to increase cleaning and sanitization measures in the schools, said Manderville.
"The schoools already look quite different in that there's directional arrows everywhere," she said. Although schools have been closed to students and visitors, teachers have been conducting classes from school buildings since September. Students who attend by bus will be separated into cohorts to allow for smaller groups as well, and there will be a staggered entry once they come off the bus. Safety measures are also in place for recess, said Manderville. Another plan is to hire extra nurses for schools and to ensure every school has three months' worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) for students and staff. Manderville said the decision to re-open - and stay open - will be based on direction from Six Nations Public Health and will depend on the number of Covid cases in the community. Students and staff will return to remote learning if public heath determines it's not safe for schools to be open anymore, she said. I.L. Thomas Principal Reva Bomberry said their schools has put measures in place to ensure student safety. "We are prepared to have the students back
into the classroom. I'm confident we've done as much as we can to get to where we are today." But she said educators need the support of the community for students to be safe. "Should the environment change come February, then we would reconsider, definitely. In the meantime, we've put measures in place for staff safety, staff wellness and student safety and student wellness. I'm confident at this time that our schools are safe for our children to return." Schools will provide PPE for students if needed and vaccines are not mandatory for kids to attend, council heard. "It all comes down to individual choice," said elected Chief Mark Hill. Even if schools open, it will be up to parents to send their back or not. The last survey sent out to parents showed a little over 50 per cent were in favour of schools re-opening. Elected council sent out another survey to parents last week seeking their input on the subject, but Indigenous Services Canada, which runs Six Nations schools, will make the ultimate choice to reopen them or not, council heard.
We extend our wishes for good health and happiness to at Christmas for thehealth NewandYear! We all extend our wishes and for good happiness to all at Christmas and for the New Year!

Brantford failed to uphold GRNA, says lawyer in Arrowdale dispute DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A lawyer representing a citizens' interest group opposed to the sale of the Arrowdale Golf Course in Brantford said the city failed to uphold the Grand River Notification Agreement by sending the notice too late. Eric Gillespie, a lawyer for the group, "Know Your City" told a judicial review last Friday aired live on YouTube that the City of Brantford didn't notify Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) until after the sale was complete. In our respectful submission, there wasn't compliance with the GRNA, Gillespie told the hearing. The GRNA is a voluntary agreement between Six Nations, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the City of Brantford, Brant County, Haldimand County and the Grand River Conservation Authority. The agreement asks that each party notify each other on matters of common interest on the lands in each
county. Interest groups in Brantford are contesting the sale of the 9-hole golf course, arguing that local Indigenous groups, such as Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit, were not properly consulted on the sale. Furthermore, the hearing showed an email exchange involving Six Nations Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry saying that Six Nations should not bother contesting the sale because they would lose. "Even if we could start an action against Brantford over Arrowdale, we would eventually lose in a very costly action," Bomberry wrote to a Six Nations woman who sent a letter to the Brantford Mayor asking the city to reconsider the sale. Bomberry said the land is part of the "surrender of the Town Plot in 1830" in which Six Nations allegedly surrendered 807 acres of land but was never properly compensated for it. The land is part of a Six Nations lawsuit against the Crown that's been before the courts since 1995 that seeks an accounting of funds for the
sale or "surrender" of lands within the almost one-million acre Haldimand Tract. The tract includes the City of Brantford and comprises six miles of land on either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its source. The Arrowdale land was listed for sale on June 9. Brantford City Council authorized a sale to a purchaser on Aug. 25. However, the notice to Six Nations and MCFN was not sent until Aug. 27 and didn't become effective until five business days later on Sept. 3, Gillespie submitted. "Obviously, that raises real concerns." Futhermore, he said the notice to the two First Nations on Aug. 25 said the property was listed for sale, not mentioning the fact that it was already sold. He also said the GRNA requires an attachment of the listing when sending the notification but that never happened. Gillespie told the panel, which included lawyers from the City of Brantford, "You are dealing nation to nation. That relationship impacts on us all."

Compromised parties whittle down human rights standards RACHEL A. SNOW

Canada and Justice Minister David Lametti are waxing poetic about taking international law and reducing it under domestic Canadian law application. Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) under Canadian law means that international standards have to fall under Canadian norms. Canada is falsely trying to flex jurisdiction over First Nation Indigenous peoples, their lands, resources and most importantly their self-determination rights. This article says First Nation Indigenous peoples because there is specificity in land ownership, title, rights and treaty relationships. Canada knows this but continues to misrepresent the differences of “Indigenous” peoples because Indians are all the same and only need one cookie cutter law. Once again, nations, (NATIONS) signed agreements to share this land. The nations were the original First Nations or First Nation Indigenous peoples and the nation of Great Britain. Canada succeeded Britain so how can Canada own land or bring in international law standards when Canada’s land “ownership” is in question? In 1867, Britain drafted legislation that created Canada. This legislation allowed Canada to conduct their delineated business under section 91 of the British North American Act
(BNA). Canada’s search for autonomy had them gallivanting off to England to “repatriate” their constitution (the BNA Act - outdated British Legislation) but they were probably laughed back across the ocean and told to patriate a constitution of their own making! Enter the 1982 Canadian Constitution Act. Canada’s first “reconciliation” opportunities came under Pierre Trudeau who wanted the constitution “ratified” then a nation-to-nation relationship between the “crown” and the First Nations would be later, “fleshed out”. Doesn’t this sound hauntingly familiar? Canada has been trying to build “ownership” even by renaming the 1867 BNA Act, the Canada Act 1867. Since Canada has no bill of sale to prove “ownership”, they must get consent from one signatories to the original agreement; that is the First Nation Indigenous Peoples. Ironically, UNDRIP actually calls for free, prior and informed consent, which Canada is currently manufacturing to pass Bill C-15. Canada has specific “go to Indians” when they are selling false promises. These Indians are usually elitist commentators – educated in mainstream law, with cushy provincial or federal posts or they are the heads of Indian organizations that receive their funding based on their willingness to roll over an play dead for federal dollars. They are the Indians you see on mainstream media sites with used car salesman smiles, wear-
ing headdresses or some native “gear”. They are not the First Nations who live on reserves. They are not the First Nations who live below poverty levels without access to clean drinking water. They are not the First Nations who live with three or more families in one overcrowded house. They are not the First Nations who are traditional or ceremonial people. Canada needs to hear these voices. Canada needs to hear the voice of a parent who has had a child taken away or who is being denied services. Canada has to hear the child who has been shifted from ten or more foster homes and is now suicidal. Canada needs to hear from grassroots voices. The bastardization of original First Nation Indigenous government practices has produced “Indian Leaders” who are federal Indian Agents. Canada only recognizes these compromised voices. The handful of First Nation Indigenous “leaders” who are voicing real concerns with Bill C-15 are being swept aside, while yes men and women rush forward to stand outside the fort waiting on rations as their own people starve around them. Bill C-15 has already produced a cacophony of support from mainstream lawyers or their firms. This in itself should be a warning for First Nations. Lawyers or firms see future litigation and are busy, gleefully rubbing their hands at inevitable court challenges, which will happen because Bill C-15 is just framework legislation.

Good things, like the rapture, are still yet to come! Canada’s former department of Indian and Northern Affairs now split into two colonial departments (Indigenous Services & Crown-Indigenous Relations), has moved away from upholding fiduciary obligations to the international signers who made this country. Canada has shapeshifted into crown relations as defined by Canada or as a program and service provider. This is why no one would address the recent Mi’kmaq fishing issue. It is not a program, it was a peace and friendship treaty with Britain, but who holds the oversight, since Canada is trying to get out of this Indian business? Canada has progressed through decade long talks in British Colombia, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Northern Quebec forcing modern treaties or self-government agreements on First Nations Indigenous peoples. These Canadian solutions are crafted in legalese, which can easily be challenged or overridden. It is already happening, today, in legal challenges. If a modern treaty does not foresee a circumstance, courts are basically saying: “too bad for you Indians, you had legal supports”. In the case of the Inuit, a whole province was created to take away the rights of this linguistic group. These are the voices that Canada is relying on to implement Bill C-15. Canada listens only to the voices they control including the: Modern treaty voices, termination table voices
and national organization “leaders” dependent on federal funding. At contact, the voices of our ancestors were kind and welcoming. Our ancestors shared land and resources willingly, because hospitality and welcoming visitors are universal values for First Nation Indigenous peoples. Once our First Nation Indigenous understood that the settler colonial’s real god was either land, resources or money, the trust relationship changed and remains one of extreme distrust. So today, we are not listening to the selected voices or federal tables of willing conspirators. We are not listening to the words of the white saviors or their hand picked kemosabe counterparts. We are not listening to the national “leaders” or groups who are thinking of their own funding and not seeking the collective consent of our million plus grassroots people. We are analyzing legal ramifications with the same watchfulness as our forefathers. Our deep spiritual connection that is a living exercise leads our actions. While the duty of the newcomers has been to teach greed, individuality and how to covet things, our responsibilities remain the same as the ancestral obligations we have always held; we are to steward the land, protect future generations, and sadly right now, call out our “own bought” people who are trying to mislead all our people, Canadians and the global audience.

'This was not a snowball': Man who threw metal hitch at woman found guilty of manslaughter STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
A white man who threw a trailer hitch at an Indigenous woman in Thunder Bay, Ont., has been found guilty of manslaughter in her death, with a judge saying the fatal outcome of his violent act was foreseeable. Justice Helen M. Pierce said Monday that the Crown proved Brayden Bushby knew he would seriously injure Barbara Kentner when he threw the hitch at her from a moving car in January 2017. Pierce said the Crown also proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Kentner's injuries from the assault accelerated her death months later. Kentner died in July 2017 at age 34. The trailer hitch that was entered into evidence at the trial ``is heavy enough that it requires
two hands to hold it securely,'' Pierce said, adding that its impact would be intensified because the vehicle from which it was thrown was moving. ``This was not a snowball,'' Pierce told the court. ``I find that it would have been foreseeable to Mr. Bushby that hitting a person with such a heavy object would cause serious injury.'' In delivering her decision, Pierce referenced witness testimony that Bushby said ``I got one'' after striking Kentner, that he laughed after throwing the hitch, and that he told friends earlier he wanted to throw it through the window of an acquaintance's house. Pierce said those accounts proved that Bushby knew the hitch could do significant damage, and that he was aiming to hit one of the women who were walking on the street as the vehicle he was in went past. The trial heard from a
Brayden Bushby will be sentenced on February 9 after being found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Barbara FILE PHOTO Kentner.
forensic pathologist who testified that complications from an abdominal injury - caused by the hitch assault - were the main cause of Kentner's death. Dr. Toby Rose, who performed the autopsy on Kentner, testified that the woman's death was hastened by deteriorating health conditions after her small intestine was ruptured by the hitch. Liver disease was a contributing factor in the death, Rose
testified, but not the main cause. Bushby, 18 at the time of the attack, admitted throwing the hitch and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, but not guilty to manslaughter. His lawyer argued at trial that Kentner's underlying health condition cast doubt on the true cause of her death. But Pierce said Monday that she accepted the Crown's argument that Bushby is responsible for what happened to Kentner after he assaulted her, regardless of whether she was in poor health to begin with. She also accepted evidence from Rose, who testified that Kentner's health was clearly in rapid decline after the attack, according to medical records. Pierce said the defence did not prove its argument that an intervening factor like delayed medical treatment may have ultimately caused Kentner's death.
She said that argument was based on speculation, not evidence. She also noted that given the time of the attack - which happened after 1 a.m. as Kentner and her sister Melissa were walking down the otherwise empty street- and the fact that Bushby did not stop to offer help, it was foreseeable that his victim might not get medical treatment right away. An account from Kentner herself was also played in court, in a videotaped statement she gave to police before she died. She said she was hit with a force that brought her to her knees, and she struggled to breathe, sleep and walk before she went to the hospital and learned the extent of her injuries. The case drew criticism about how the justice system deals with incidents involving Indigenous victims after Bushby's second-degree murder charge was downgrad-
ed to manslaughter and aggravated assault. The trial heard the change was made because space limitations made a jury trial impossible in Thunder Bay during the COVID-19 pandemic. Crown lawyer Andrew Sadler said it was a priority for the trial to proceed this fall, and the ``only way'' for that to happen was to have a trial by judge alone, which ``could not happen, in this case, on the charge of murder.'' National Chief Perry Bellegarde of the Assembly of First Nations said Monday that the verdict was ``extremely welcomed.'' ``Far too often, First Nations people don't get justice. Today we did,'' Bellegarde said in a tweet. ``Rest In Peace, Barbara Kentner.'' A sentencing hearing for Bushby has been set for Feb. 9.

Reconciliation delayed and anti Indigenous racism rising: TRC commissioners STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — Five years after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued its final report, commissioners Murray Sinclair, Wilton Littlechild and Marie Wilson are coming together to voice their concerns about the slow pace of reconciliation in Canada. The commission's final report provided a detailed account of what happened to Indigenous children who were physically and sexually abused in government boarding schools, where at least 3,200 children died amid abuse and neglect. The commission also published 94 calls to action urging all levels of government to change policies and programs to repair the harm caused by residential schools and
move forward with reconciliation. The three commissioners will be holding a press conference virtually on Tuesday morning to mark the fifth anniversary of the release of their final report. Littlechild, a Cree chief and former MP who is a residential school survivor, said he's encouraged by progress on reconciliation but he is concerned about the pace. ``The pace is what consensus is. We thought, as the commissioners, we would be farther ahead by now after five years,'' he said in an interview with The Canadian Press Monday. ``It's kind of an urgent matter now to really refocus on the calls to action.'' He said the three TRC commissioners haven't been together since the commission finished its work five years ago. Littlechild said he is
also worried about growing racism in Canada. ``One of the (areas) where it's going backwards, it's the very open systemic racism and discrimination that's not only continuing, but escalating.'' Sen. Murray Sinclair, who chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, said groups advocating for racism in the United States felt empowered in the last few years and that spilled over to Canada. He says these groups are targeting specific issues that are important for reconciliation, including the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Earlier this month, the Liberal government introduced legislation to align federal laws with the United Nations declaration. ``We need to recognize
that there is still some resistance on the part of some elements of Canadian society,'' Sinclair said in an interview. He said racist and white-supremacist groups are attempting to deny the validity of the Indigenous story. ``They are feeling empowered and feeling that they have the right to voice their opinions,'' he said. ``There is a very significant element of resistance that is trying to stir up fears and misunderstandings and misinformation.'' Littlechild said he's troubled that six provinces oppose the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous-relations ministers from Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick called for the delay of the UNDRIP bill
in a letter obtained by The Globe and Mail earlier in December. ``It's not any more seeking consensus in terms of a non-partisan issue. It's no longer about the process. It's now politics,'' Littlechild said. ``That's very, very sad and unfortunate.'' He said standing in the way of implementing the UN declaration means standing in the way of reconciliation. ``Indigenous survival, dignity and well-being should be a non-partisan issue,'' he says. The commissioners are also concerned that a National Council for Reconciliation has not been established five years after they called for one. Sinclair said the lack of this council is leaving the entire conversation about priorities in the hands of the government. ``The government, in some respects, is in a bit
of a conflict of interest when it comes to the process of reconciliation and Indigenous rights,'' he said. ``They control the legislative process that governs the lives of Indigenous people without attempting to give up that control or to acknowledge it. They should no longer be in charge.'' Sinclair said the UN declaration calls upon colonizing states, including Canada, to recognize that they spent a lot of money to take land rights away from Indigenous people, so they have to be willing to spend a lot of money to undo that harm. ``They have to recognize that much of the income that governments have earned over the last number of generations, it's come from the resources that Indigenous people have a right to claim, still belong to them or still to be shared with them.''

From the Canadian perspective Joseph Brant was bigger than Elvis By Jim Windle w/notes by Cowen’s Auction CINCINNATI OHIO - Joseph Brant just might be the most famous Mohawk warriors of all time. His importance to both the Six Nations Iroquois, the USA and the establishment and protection of Canada and especially Ontario almost goes without saying. But it’s always good to honour our heroes and great men and women from the past. The Mohawk Nation along with the others of the Six Nations and allied Nations have the life and times of Captain Joseph Brant, Thyendanega. Brant memorabilia items are always hot items when they comes up at antique auctions across the entire continent and Britain especially. Cowen Auctions, based in Cincinnati Ohio, recently put Joseph Brant’s riffle presented to him during one of his trips to England, sometime around 1750. It is an extraordinary beautiful piece of gun-work in very good condition.
Can you believe Joseph Brant’s rookie card? The image of Brant was part of the Goudy Indian Gum Co.’s 1933 card set. PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT
The auction pamphlet of description reads: “24 Bore (.58 caliber), 30.625" wedge-retained octagonal barrel, S/N 32. Browned and blued finish, figured walnut stock with checkered wrist and raised cheek rest. Flat beveled flint lock with rounded, fenced and bridled water proof pan, roller frizzen and flat beveled swan neck cock. Lock with
sliding safety at rear, platinum lined touchhole. Lock with lightly engraved decorations and further engraved Tatham in script under the pan. Lock and barrel remain in original flint configuration. Barrel with {crown}{broad arrow} and {opposed broad arrows} markings and a silver plaque set into the top of the breech engraved J Brant in script, with platinum bands on either side. Stock with same {crown}{broad arrow} and {opposed broad arrows} markings forward of patchbox, as well as what appears to be the number 32. Large blued Baker rifle-style patchbox in obverse stock engraved with panoplies of arms and geometric borders. Triggerguard with extended scroll to the rear, bow engraved with panoplies of arms, with additional fine engraving at the scroll and rear of plate. An engraved pineapple finial is present at the front terminus. Buttplate engraved
with panoplies of arms and foliage themes as well. Barrel wedges surrounded by German silver escutcheons, with an additional lozenge shaped escutcheon at the wrist. Three-leaf rear sight with 200- and 300-yard folding leaves, blade front sight, horn forend tip, two blued steel thimbles and an entry pipe secure a horn tipped wooden ramrod with a ball puller at the end. Henry Tatham (17701835) was a London gunmaker initially working at Firth Street and moving to 37 Charing Cross ca1800, where the firm remained until 1833, where he also worked in partnership with Joseph Egg ca18011814. He was listed as Sword Cutler & Beltmaker-in-Ordinary to King George III in 1798 and Gunmaker to the Prince of Wales in 1799. (Blackmore) He is probably most famous for producing presentation rifles for the British Board of Ordnance
in 1816 for distribution to Canadian Indian Chiefs. Most of the remaining examples of these scarce and important presentation rifles are in the Royal Armories Museum as they were never distributed. Tatham also made lesser grade Indian presentation rifles for the Board of Ordnance as well. This example has a silver plaque engraved "J Brant”. That would suggest the famous Mohawk chief Joseph Brant (17431807), who died in 1807. His son John Brant (17941832) fought on behalf of the English at the battle of Queenston Heights and other battles during the War of 1812, serving as a Lieutenant in the British Indian Department. We have determined that the plaque in the breech is a more recent addition likely added to enhance its historical importance and though well executed is incorrect. The rifle is a genuine Tatham Board of Ordnance Indian Rifle
intended for Canadian Indian allies, the attribution and presentation are later additions.” Looking around the historical artifacts auctions one can find everything from the custom make pistols crafted for Capt. Brant, to a baseball type collector card made as a 1933 promotion by the Goudy Indian Gum Co. you can buy at auction for between $10 and $40. There are several commemorative coins struck over the years, a beautifully painted pewter action figure. Since his death in 1807, the likeness of Brant has been used over and over again to help sell their product or claim a kind of ownership of the bravery, respect and valour of the Mohawk’s greatest war and diplomatic leader. If you have a historical object like this in your family’s heirloom, let us know about it.

COVID 19, system barriers challenging Indigenous women who own businesses: study By Canadian Press TORONTO — Canadian businesses owned by Indigenous women have been steadily growing, but that progress is being threatened by COVID-19 and other systemic barriers, say researchers behind a new study. The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business and Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub revealed Thursday that the proportion of businesses owned by Indigenous women and with revenue greater than $1 million more than doubled to reach nine per cent in 2019, up from four per cent in 2015. Most female Indigenous business owners are sole-proprietors with the percentage having employees climbing to 42 per cent in 2019, up from 23 per cent in 2010. But it isn't all good news. The study — based on phone interviews with more than 3,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis
business owners in 2010, 2015 and 2019 — warns the pandemic has exacerbated the barriers Indigenous women in entrepreneurship encounter. ``Indigenous women entrepreneurs continue to face systemic disadvantages such as access to services, financing, information, and basic infrastructure — and we know that many of these barriers are felt more heavily amid a global pandemic,'' said Wendy Cukier, a research lead at the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, in a release. Her study found 91 per cent of Indigenous businesses experienced a negative impact stemming from COVID-19 and the lockdowns and temporary closures that have sprang up in an effort to quell the virus. About 76 per cent of Indigenous businesses saw a decrease in revenues and 65 per cent noticed a drop in demand for products and services, the study said.
Researchers also found Indigenous women-owned businesses are more likely to have experienced a ``very negative'' impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and to have experienced a drop in revenue of more than 50 per cent. Tabatha Bull, the president of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, said these statistics must be acted on. ``Finding ways to support these businesses — including continued research — will have major benefits to Indigenous women, communities, and the Canadian economy,'' she said in a release. To help mitigate such issues, she recommend ensuring financial institutions and government funding is equitable and accessible for Indigenous women, creating Indigenous- and women-focused procurement strategies and investing in infrastructure internet and partnerships, microgrants and sponsorship for Indigenous communities.

Fact-checking conspiracy theories and false claims: COVID-19 vaccine NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES
The claim: COVID-19 vaccine causes infertility in women A viral social media post claimed the Pfizer/ BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine could lead to infertility in women as it contained a spike protein called syncytin-1. This protein is essential for the creation of human placenta during pregnancy. The post claimed the human body would not be able to differentiate between COVID-19 and the human placenta because of the similar proteins and would attack and destroy a women’s ability to build a placenta, rendering women infertile. The truth: Virology professors at two institutions in the UK have confirmed the two spike proteins in the development of placenta and the COVID-19 vaccine are not identical, and don’t look similar enough to put human reproductive health at risk. There is no evidence from
Pfizer’s trials that demonstrate the vaccine affects fertility. USA Today also fact-checked the claim and found that while syncytin-1 is vital for placenta formation, it bears no resemblance to the SARSCoV-2 spike protein save a very small amino acid sequence. If the claim were true, virologists say those who contract COVID-19 would have the same immune response and there would be a rise in infertility along with COVID-19 infections, however that is not the case. The claim: The COVID-19 vaccine is a government and/or elite conspiracy because it was created in just 6 months, way faster than any cure for RSV, Influenza or Cancer. The Truth: This is misleading at best. While it is true that there is no vaccine for cancer, comparing vaccine protection against cancer-at-large to vaccine protection against the one particular virus that causes COVID-19 is just foolish. From the time the SARS-CoV-2 virus genetic sequence was identified
Vaccines will be available to First Nations, Metis and Inuit communties in Canada in the coming weeks but several online claims have Indigenous people confused and hesitant to accept it. FILE PHOTO
in early January 2020, the race to develop a vaccine was on. A total of 180 vaccines were in trial with 3 approved for early limited use. Now, nearly a year later we are seeing the first production and delivery of vaccines for the general public. To put that into context — the 2009 swine flu pandemic genetic sequence was identified on April 27, 2009 and by November 2009 three billion doses of the H1N1/09 vaccine were delivered worldwide.

are being sent the vaccine ahead of other populations as ‘guinea-pig’ test populations before it goes to the rest of Canada. The Truth: This is a conspiracy theory. A portion of Canada’s first batch of COVID-19 vaccines are being sent to First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities. Ottawa has stated that seniors in care, staff at long term care facilities, adults 70 and over, health care workers and adults in indigenous communities are being placed in priority sequence to receive the vaccine. It is unlikely that Cana-
da would place front-line health care workers in the same priority group that Indigenous people are in if it truly were a secret mission to test the vaccine’s efficacy or safety on those who get the vaccine first. It is important to mention that this lack of trusting the vaccine being delivered to indigenous communities early on in the Canadian rollout comes from a valid mistrust of Canada’s healthcare system, in part due to ongoing discrimination and racism while accessing care. This dates back at least a century
as survivors of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools recalled being placed unwittingly as test subjects in medical and dental experimentation and mandatory female sterilization. Yet, First Nations communities bear systemic inequities to the rest of the Canadian population, such as lack of access to clean drinking water, overcrowded housing , homelessness and poverty — that place residents at a much higher risk of contracting COVID-19. And in the age of truth and reconciliation if government and health care officials are being made aware of these inequities and are not identifying First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities as an at-risk group giving us priority placing to receive the vaccine — that would be wrong. In any event, if you still don’t trust the vaccine, rest easy. It will only be administered to adults aged 16 and over and will not be mandatory.

Quebec tables bill to give families of missing Indigenous children access to records CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
QUEBEC — The Quebec government introduced legislation on Wednesday that would allow relatives of Indigenous children who disappeared or died after being admitted to health-care facilities to obtain information about their loved ones. Indigenous Affairs Minister Ian Lafreniere tabled the bill, saying he hoped it would help families get answers. Several dozen children died or were placed in foster care after being admitted to health or social-services facilities between the 1950s and
1989. In some cases, the parents never learned what happened to the children. The new law would require health-care facilities, social services, organizations and religious congregations to transmit personal information about the missing or deceased children to their families. It also gives the government the power to launch an investigation into organizations that don't comply. Resources will be put in place to ensure families understand the medical data and are supported in their search, including helping them to locate living family members who were sent to foster care.
Lafreniere said some parents have reached the age of 89 or 90 and still don't know what happened to their child. ``In some cases, we're talking about children who were given for adoption,'' he said. ``In other cases, there are children who died, but there's no confirmation. We don't know where they're buried, we don't have details.'' Lafreniere promised that the families would be given a telephone number to call, as well as a file number. He said funding would be put in place to hire a team to support the families and help them in their research.

Cleveland Indians will be finally Indigenous activist pleased to hear Cleveland's name change abandoning their team name NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
The Cleveland Indians will soon be altering Major League Baseball history. This proud franchise who since 1915, have gone by the team name Indians have recently announced that they are now ready to make a change. “The name is no longer acceptable in our world,” Cleveland Indians owner Paul Dolan said in reference to ‘Indians. ‘We’ll be the Indians in 2021, and then after that, it’s a difficult and complex process to identify a new name and do all the things you do around activating that name. We are going to work at as quick a pace as we can while doing it right.” Dolan also added, “But we’re not going to do something just for the sake of doing it. We’re going to take the time we need to do it right.” Cleveland Indians baseball embarked on a new chapter when in 1994, they began playing at Jacobs Field which years later was re-named Progressive Field. When the club opened Jacobs field, they were discussing whether they should eliminate the famous “Chief Wahoo” club logo, but decided not to. Years later there was a change as Dolan announced on January 29, 2018 that the Indians franchise will no longer use the “Chief Wahoo” logo on their uniforms. “Major League Baseball is committed to building a culture of diversity and inclusion throughout the
Indigenous activist Douglas Cardinal applauded the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday for planning to change their team name and predicted it could have a ``ripple effect'' on other clubs with similar monikers. The American League franchise announced Monday that it will drop the name it has been known by since 1915. ``I'm so glad that everybody did their job and realized that that (name) wasn't right,'' Cardinal said Tuesday from his Ottawa home. Cleveland's Major League Baseball team will continue to use its current name until a new one is chosen, a process that's expected to take at least a year. Team owner Paul Dolan said the decision was made after months of internal discussions and meetings with groups, including Native Americans who have sought to have the club stop using a moniker many deem racist. The 86-year-old Cardinal, a renowned architect, filed human rights complaints in 2016 in an attempt to stop the team from using the Chief Wahoo logo during a playoff series in Toronto against the Blue Jays. The cartoonish image of a big-toothed man with a scarlet face and single feather in his headdress had been used by the team

game,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “Over the past year, we encouraged dialogue with the Indians organization about the Club’s use of the Chief Wahoo logo. During our constructive conversations, Paul Dolan made clear that there are fans who have a longstanding attachment to the logo and its place in the history of the team. Nonetheless, the club ultimately agreed with my position that the logo is no longer appropriate for on-field use in Major League Baseball, and I appreciate Mr. Dolan’s acknowledgement that removing it from the onfield uniform by the start of the 2019 season is the right course.” The team continued to keep the “Chief Wahoo” trademark, the team on limited merchandise to use the logo. During summer of 2020, the world was struggling with not only COVID-19 but also tremendous civil unrest which eventually led to both the NFL’s Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians publicly declaring that they would consider changing their team name. Washington was one of a
few sports teams who eventually decided to change their team name, while the Indians were getting encouraged by manager Terry Francona and star shortstop Francisco Lindor to follow suit. “I think it’s time to move forward. I’ve been thinking about it and been thinking about it before we put out that statement,” Francisco said. “I know in the past, when I’ve been asked about, whether it’s our name of the ‘Chief Wahoo’, I think I would usually answer and say I know that we’re never trying to be disrespectful.” Making more news, on Sunday, December 13, 2020, the New York Times reported that the Cleveland Indians have decided that starting after the 2021 season, they will be officially getting rid of the Indians team name which they have had since 1915.No new name has been decided. “If changing the name brings more love and peace to society, I’m open to listening to the change of the name,” Lindor said. “Society is shifting, and we are due for some change. I’m open to listen to a change of the name.”

on caps and uniforms since 1947. Cardinal said the proceedings were resolved two years later. Cleveland dropped the image from its gear for its final series at Rogers Centre in 2018 and made the full-time switch the next season. ``That was an amazing follow-through ... I was just happy to see that everybody really did their jobs well and communicated well and resolved everything to everybody's satisfaction,'' Cardinal said. ``And that created the opportunity for them to make the changes they felt were necessary, which they did, which is amazing. I congratulate them.'' The team had been transitioning away from Chief Wahoo in years before the change, switching to a block ``C'' logo in many areas. Word of the team's latest change came after the recent retirement of some prominent longtime nicknames. Washington's NFL team and Edmonton's CFL team dropped their names last summer. Similar monikers have been changed at the university, high school and youth sport levels. However, several notable pro franchises _ including the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, MLB's Atlanta Braves and the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs _ are sticking with their team names. ``We can't change the world overnight but when some people change, they create a precedent and others feel that they should as well,'' Cardinal
said. ``So I think it has a ripple effect. Pretty soon I feel that others will feel that that's bad manners. ``So (Cleveland has) created a positive precedent and they should be admired for doing that.'' Cardinal first decided to take action after noticing the Chief Wahoo figure during a game in 2016. He felt the mascot ``ridiculed the images of First Nations people.'' ``We shouldn't do that to each other,'' he said. ``We should treat everybody with respect. I've always been concerned about human rights.'' Cardinal, who graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1963, said he was inspired to use his voice after witnessing integration efforts at the school. He felt members of the Black and white communities displayed bravery and developed a respect for each other to create a more honourable and just society. ``I think that it's so important that when you see something that isn't right, that you make it heard,'' Cardinal said. ``Because the horrible thing is just standing by and watching things happen that you know in your gut are not right.'' And when he looks back on his personal journey to make a change on the baseball front, he feels the effort was well worth it. ``Of course it was,'' he said. ``And it's a good beginning for many issues.''

RCMP commits to changes in how it collects, uses information about protesters, activists and land defenders CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — The RCMP has agreed to revamp its policies on the collection and use of information about protesters after a watchdog expressed fresh concerns, a notable shift from the police force's position only months ago. In a letter to the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission, made public Tuesday, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki largely embraced a series of recommendations from the watchdog that could better protect activists' privacy. Lucki acknowledged the inadequacy of current data-handling practices in her response to the commission's investigation of Mountie surveillance of opponents of the now-defunct Northern Gateway pipeline project. The RCMP pledges were greeted with skepticism from Paul Champ, a lawyer for the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, which lodged the complaint that prompted the commission to begin investigating six years ago. ``I have no doubt that the RCMP commissioner is going to want to modify their policies in order in order to make them
more publicly defensible,'' Champ said in an interview. ``But it doesn't change the underlying facts that they're collecting this information about Canadians simply for exercising their democratic rights where there's absolutely no indication of criminal activity.'' The civil liberties association's February 2014 complaint said the RCMP improperly collected and shared information about people and groups who peacefully opposed the pipeline project and attended National Energy Board meetings. In a long-awaited final report released Tuesday, the complaints commission concluded the RCMP acted reasonably for the most part. Accompanying the report was a 2017 interim commission document and the recent letter from Lucki outlining her response. The commission said it was acceptable for the Mounties to monitor demonstrations, record video of protesters, scour social media and other open sources for information about activists, and collect licence-plate numbers for intelligence-gathering purposes. However, the commission also found RCMP policies lacked clear guidance
when it comes to collection, use and retention of such information. It recommended the police force: - Consider implementing a specific policy regarding video-recording protests and demonstrations; - Develop policies that make it clear personal information related to demonstrations should be destroyed ``as soon as practicable'' once it is determined that there is no criminal element or that the information is otherwise no longer necessary; - Provide clear policy guidance on collection of personal information from open sources such as social media sites, the uses that can be made of it and what steps should be taken to ensure its reliability; - Treat such information from social media sources as a separate category of records — data that should be kept no longer than strictly necessary. ``Canadians have the right to expect that the police will not retain their personal information simply for engaging in peaceful protest,'' the complaints commission's final report said. ``From an operational standpoint, the commission acknowledges the
need for the police to be able to exercise good judgment and operate with reasonable flexibility. Nevertheless, the net should not be cast wide, and the indiscriminate or widespread collection and retention of personal information of individuals exercising charter-protected rights cannot be the goal.'' The complaints commission said it hoped that Lucki would take ``substantive action'' based on her five-page November response to the investigation's interim findings, in which she expressed support for several recommendations. The commission noted Lucki had rejected similar recommendations in her June response to a probe of the RCMP's handling of anti-fracking demonstrations in New Brunswick. In her recent response to the B.C. probe, which the commission characterized as a ``striking reversal in position and tone,'' Lucki cited new information, including an internal RCMP audit that found room for improvement in the force's practices concerning open-source information. The civil liberties association said Tuesday the complaints commission report confirmed its long-standing allegations
of RCMP spying on Indigenous and climate activists. It pointed to the RCMP's collection and retention of people's online comments and opinions as well as the compilation of notes on organizers. The Mounties also tracked and kept records on people who took part in demonstrations, and even attended an organizing workshop in plain clothes at the Kelowna United Church, the group noted. The association was ``deeply disappointed'' the complaints commission found most of these activities to be reasonable. The commission wagged its finger but ultimately gave the RCMP a free pass for activities that are likely offside with the charter, Champ said in a statement. ``RCMP spying on people who are exercising their right to dissent is an attack on freedom of expression,'' he said. ``It creates a climate of fear that chills free expression and stifles public participation. This report is telling us to accept a police state.'' Added Kai Nagata of Dogwood, a B.C. group that fights for environmental and Indigenous causes: ``We cannot accept the idea that anyone who
criticizes the government or the oil industry becomes a target for surveillance.'' Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government would take ``a careful look'' at the report's conclusions and recommendations, adding ``there is much to do'' on how the RCMP deals with certain groups. The civil liberties association and the complaints commission reiterated their concerns that it took Lucki well over three years to respond to the commission's 2017 interim report, delaying release of the final document. Commission chairwoman Michelaine Lahaie called the delay ``incomprehensible.'' ``To be effective, a public complaint system must be timely. Delays reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of the commission's recommendations and perpetuate the underlying problems,'' she said in the final report. ``Moreover, years of routine delays diminish or destroy public confidence in the RCMP and in its civilian oversight. The outrageous delays in this and the many other cases still awaiting the commissioner's response cannot continue.''
N.S. RCMP arrest four men after alleged shots fired at Indigenous fisher CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
PICTOU LANDING, NS — The RCMP say they have arrested four men in connection with shots allegedly fired Sunday on the waters off the Pictou Landing First Nation. Officers said they responded to a call of gunfire in the Northumberland Strait near the First Nation at around 5:30 p.m. yesterday. After arriving at the scene, RCMP said they learned a man from the Indigenous band had seen
crew members on a fishing vessel removing lobster traps from the water. The police said in a news release that the man was approaching in a small boat when the fishing vessel accelerated towards him and shots were fired. The man was uninjured and was able to return to port. A 51-year-old man from Pictou County turned himself in Monday evening and was arrested. The other three men from the area were arrested this morning without incident. Cpl. Lisa Croteau said Monday no injuries were reported and no charges have been laid so far, as the
investigation continues. RCMP said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public. Pictou Landing Chief Andrea Paul said in an interview Monday that members of the First Nation were unnerved by the incident. ``They're very upset, (but) I don't think many of them were too surprised by it,'' she said. Paul first mentioned the incident Sunday in a Facebook post, saying the fisher was alone when he was allegedly targeted and the assailants were armed with a rifle.
The Pictou Landing First Nation launched a self-regulated lobster fishery early last month. Tensions around Nova Scotia's growing number of Indigenous-run fisheries has been mounting as non-Indigenous fishers have expressed their concerns about fisheries operating outside the federally regulated lobster season. In September. the Sipekne'katik First Nation launched its own controversial lobster fishery, citing a 21-year-old Supreme Court decision that affirms the Mi'kmaq right to hunt and fish to earn a ``moderate livelihood.''

The Nuclear Waste Management organization shared a step in its Reconciliation journey with the South Bruce community earlier this month. Members of the South Bruce Community Liaison Committee (CLC) welcomed a virtual presentation of the NWMO’s Reconciliation journey at their December meeting. Bob Watts, Vice-President of Indigenous Relations at the NWMO, Jessica Perritt, Section Manager of Indigenous Knowledge & Reconciliation and Greg Plain, Sr. Indigenous Engagement Advisor shared information about milestones including the NWMO’s formalization of a Reconciliation Policy and how that policy is being implemented within the organization through edu-

cation and learning. In October 2019, the NWMO formalized and blessed its Reconciliation Policy through a Traditional Sunrise Ceremony that included members of the NWMO’s executive team, Board of Directors, the NWMO’s Council of Elders and Youth and a number of special guests. “It is important that we acknowledge and recognize the wisdom we are so privileged to receive from Indig-
enous knowledge holders. It has strengthened the foundation of the organization. They have pushed us to really stand behind the words we say, and sometimes it has been uncomfortable, but working through that has allowed us to grow and challenge the status quo. Challenging the status quo is vital to NWMO’s success,” said Mr. Watts, Vice President of Indigenous Relations.
