SNGR and HCCC meet with demonstrators from Land Back Lane STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill says a delegation from SNGR met with a number of land defenders and a delegation from the HCCC Tuesday afternoon at the Onondaga Longhouse as a start of discussions to seek a resolution to the ongoing standoff at the McKenzie Meadows housing development. Along with Elected Chief Hill were councillors Audrey Powless-Bomberry, Melba Thomas, Michelle Bomberry and Phil Monture. Hereditary leadership sent a delegation to the meeting made up of Alan McNaughton, Kobe Williams, Colin Martin, Roger Silversmith, Cleve Thomas and Gary Johnson. A delegation from the LandBack Lane occupation attended as well as one clan mother. “It was a good meeting, very optimistic and very hopeful,” said Chief Hill during closing remarks at Six Nations of the Grand River’s General Council
meeting Tuesday evening. “It was a very positive meeting. We know that there’s many issues. It’s not going to be fixed overnight,” said Hill. Hill shared that the discussions focused on plans to rectify the McKenzie Meadows occupation as well as looked to how the HCCC and SNGR could strategize an inclusive and unified approach to upcoming discussions with the federal and provincial governments. Hill said there is opportunity to open talks with federal government, pointing to a letter from August 2019 from Minister of Crown-Indigenous Affairs Carolyn Bennett. In August 2019, an MOU was signed between SNGR and Canada allowing Six Nations and Canada to engage in exploratory talks to possibly resolve the many issues at hand encompassed in Six Nations Breach of Fiduciary/ Trust Accounting Claim against the Government of Canada. That case is headed to court in 2022. The August 2019 MOU puts several specific items on the table for discussion including: resource and
revenue sharing throughout the Haldimand Tract, Taxation matters related to Six Nations Peoples, International Relations; Governance; Administration; Community Engagement and the legal interpretation and effect of the Haldimand Proclamation. The agreement was signed in August 2019 between then Elected Chief Ava Hill and Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett. In March 2020, SNGR was seeking to extend the MOU through to March 2022. Hill said as part of the council’s renewed commitment to transparency and accountability he would like to focus on providing band members regular updates on resolving the land dispute at McKenzie Meadows and says while it will not be an overnight fix, it is important to have community feedback from all perspectives on the issue. A follow up meeting will be held on December 28 to carry on discussions over the holidays.

Elected Council to announce plans on Six Nations response to Ontario's provincial lockdown, issues guidance on holiday safety NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — With the provincial government breaking news that surrounding communities in the region will be moving into a 28-day lockdown on Boxing Day — Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill says he will make an announcement on Wednesday detailing how Six Nations will proceed. The chief gave a brief overview to his pending message on during Tuesday’s General Council meeting which was livestreamed to the council’s Facebook page, but did not indicate if the provincial lockdown would result in a Six Nations community lockdown or a second round of community checkpoints. Currently Six Nations sits at the Yellow alert level in the community’s response plan with just 2 active cases reported. However there is a con-

sistent spike in cases from health units in the surrounding region, raising the risk for Six Nations residents as they travel regularly off the Territory for critical services like medical appointments, grocery shopping and work. Brantford is currently reporting 104 active cases with 11 new cases in the
last 24 hours including 2 people in the hospital. That region is currently in the Red alert level and moving into grey lockdown on December 26. Haldimand-Norfolk is reporting 81 active cases with 12 new confirmed cases in the last 24 hours. The city of Hamilton is reporting 992 new cases. That region moved into

red alert on Monday and will join the provincial lockdown on December 26. Meanwhile, Chief Hill cautioned Six Nations residents to avoid family get-togethers and NuYah traditions ahead of the holidays. “It is unrealistic to ask the community to not gather, however not gathering and having parties is the only way to guarantee slowing the spread of COVID into Six Nations.” Said Chief Hill. “However if you are planning to leave the safety of your home, please make sure to bring your mask, hand sanitizer and physical distance as much as possible from others.” “We need to normalize mask wearing, especially when choosing to visit in other family and friends houses,” said Director of Six Nations Health Services, Lori Davis Hill. “Mask wearing and hand washing will protect you and the others you are around. Protecting our
people is the best gift we can give to each other this year, so we all must do our part to remain diligent and committed with our safety measures.” Ontario says it will provide new financial assistance for residents during the provincewide lockdown: cutting hydro prices for 28 days, starting Jan. 1. The reduction to the off-peak rate of 8.5 cents per kilowatt-hour will automatically be credited on ratepayers' bills. The government says it will also provide $200 to families with high school students aged 13 through to Grade 12. The money can be used to help offset education expenses as all schools move lessons online for the first week of January. Students will then gradually return to in-class learning depending on their location and grade level. The lockdown, announced Monday, is being imposed as Ontario tries to bring soaring COVID-19
cases under control. It will shutter all non-essential businesses, ban indoor gatherings, close restaurant dining rooms, and means Ontarians are advised to leave home only for essential trips. The restrictions will remain in place for southern Ontario until Jan. 23, but will lift for northern Ontario — where there are fewer cases — on Jan. 9. The province reported 2,202 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and 21 more deaths related to the virus. Health Minister Christine Elliott said there were 636 new cases in Toronto, 504 in Peel Region, and 218 in York Region. COVID-19 cases that need hospitalization rose by 90 Tuesday to 1,005. There are currently 273 people in intensive care, and 172 on a ventilator. Overall, there have been 160,255 cases of the novel coronavirus in Ontario, 136,767 resolved, and 4,188 deaths.
I will forever remember 2020 as the year that NPCA staff, volunteers, municipalities, local media, and members of the community stepped up to conserve and protect the Niagara Peninsula watershed. This year brought a lot of change and uncertainty, but working together as a community allowed us to pivot and adapt as necessary. The NPCA is honoured to be the trusted caretaker of 41 conservation areas across the Niagara Peninsula watershed. We thank volunteers, avid hikers, anglers, hunters, campers, passionate bird watchers, parents and caretakers eager to teach little ones about the environment, and everyone who spent their valuable time enjoying NPCA conservation areas. Thank you for your continuous support and for engaging with nature in 2020. If this year showed us anything, it is that these green, natural spaces, are essential to our physical and mental well-being and cannot be taken for granted. The NPCA remains committed to the conservation of nature and the people we serve. As important contributors to the social, environmental, and economic health of the community, we look forward to your support in 2021. On behalf of the NPCA Board of Directors and Staff, We wish you a healthy, prosperous, and safe holiday season and a Happy New Year. Thank you, Chandra Sharma – CAO/Secretary-Treasurer Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority

Judge me by my name do you? By David Sidhu, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology and Language Sciences, UCLA Note: The following article contains spoilers about ``The Mandalorian, Season 2.'' Names have always played an important role in the Star Wars universe. Names like Chewbacca, Wedge Antilles or Bib Fortuna are all otherworldly, and yet somehow they sound perfectly plausible. Star Wars names are also often perfect matches for the character. It's hard to imagine someone named Jabba the Hutt as a slim athlete, or a person named Darth Vader giving gifts to kids on Christmas Eve. Very recently, another name was added to the Star Wars canon: Grogu. This was revealed to be the name for the character previously only referred to as The Child or Baby Yoda, in the latest Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. As with anything related to Star Wars, the name sparked controversy online: some people loved it, some people hated it. This brings up the interesting question of how a name can fit a character at all? How can sounds be a good or a bad match for a person? This is something I've studied for several years now. The phenomenon of sound symbolism refers to the finding that people will indeed associate certain characteristics to certain sounds. For example, when given the options bouba and kiki, roughly 90 per cent of people around the world say bouba is a better word for something round, and kiki is a better word for something spiky.
But it goes beyond shape. People will associate different sizes, colours and even personalities to different words based on their sounds. And, importantly, they will also do this for names. So what sorts of things will people associate with a name like Grogu? And are they fitting for Baby Yoda? The shape and size of Grogu Grogu's most prominent features are his round head and eyes. Does the name fit his shape? Yes! In general, people will associate voiced stops (pronounced with vibrating vocal cords), like /g/, with round things. Even stronger is the association between rounded vowels, like /o/ and /u/, and round things. One explanation for this has to do with the rounded shape of the lips while pronouncing these vowels. But we can be even more definitive. In 2018, three other researchers and I conducted a study in which we had people make judgments on 8,000 non-words. For example, we asked if gragwom would be considered a good word for something round. Unfortunately, grogu wasn't one of them. But based on all of those responses, we can extrapolate that there's a 70 per cent chance a person would say Grogu is a good word for something round. In another study, my co-author and I went beyond shape and asked if some personality traits are metaphorically round. Indeed, we found that traits like easygoingness or introversion were considered ``round
traits,'' while aggressiveness or harshness were considered ``spiky traits.'' Importantly, participants said that round-sounding names were better matches for the round traits. So not only is Grogu a good name for a round person, but also a person with an easygoing and introverted personality. However, it seems that when coming up with the name, size mattered not, because Grogu is not a small-sounding word. Voiced stops like /g/ are associated with larger sizes, as are vowels pronounced with the tongue toward the back of the mouth — like /o/ or /u/. One explanation is that these are evolved associations. All of these sounds have a relatively lower pitch, which is the sound that larger animals tend to make. Regarding Grogu, our data would actually predict a 69.85 per cent chance a person would say Grogu is a good word for something large. That being said, you might be left with the feeling that there is still something baby-like about the name Grogu. That might come from the /u/ sound at the end. Some of the first sounds that infants produce are cooing sounds like oo or even goo. The colour of Grogu Colour associations are a bit less straightforward than shape or size. There is evidence that back vowels (like /o/ or /u/) are associated with darker colours. But there is less evidence linking sounds with particular hues. What evidence there is would suggest vowels pronounced with the

tongue high and front in the mouth — like the ``ee'' sound in See-Threepio (C-3PO) — are actually the ones associated with green. But it's worth mentioning that words for green in many languages can be traced back to words related to plants. For example, green traces back to a word related to growth. So, while it's admittedly a stretch, there is something appropriate in the name for a green character containing the word grow. Grogu and English How does Grogu fit in with English words? The onset gr- is a phonestheme in English — a sound sequence that tends to occur in words with similar meanings. In particular, gr- tends to show up at the start of words related to unpleasantness or complaints, like grim, grumpy or grumble. Not so appropriate for good-natured Grogu! Another fact is that it's rare for an English word to end with a consonant followed by the letter ``u'' — words that do are typically borrowed from other languages, like haiku or guru. It's also uncommon for North American names to end in ``u.'' Of the 1,000 most popular baby names for boys in the U.S. in 2019, only three ended in ``u'' — Beau (132nd), Keanu (630th) and Tru (926th). And Beau rhymes with doe, so technically only Keanu and Tru count here. This might actually work for Grogu, and help make the name feel more unfamiliar. The verdict? Grogu is a decent name for Baby Yoda. It's a good

Replace those negative thoughts with positivity and love for each other. Brian General
My Christmas wish would be for the community to be safe and healthy for the remainder of 2020 and throughout the upcoming 2021. Plus for community healing, finding self peace and becoming the responsible, respectful and kind people we once were. - Clint Doolittle My wish this Christmas is that we all stay safe and close to our loved ones. This global pandemic has taught me there is nothing more important than family and time. I’ve suffered losses in so many areas of life but pushed through.

Sabres’ defenceman Brandon Montour working with Kids Help Phone to spread message of hope from coast to coast NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Buffalo Sabres defenceman Brandon Montour has an important message of hope for the First Nations, Inuit and Metis youth from across Canada. Both Montour and Deanna Dunham, who is the Director of Indigenous Initiates and Equity Programs with Kids Help Phone, want these kids to always realize that help and hope is only one phone call or text away. “Indigenous kids and youth need as much guidance and help as they can get, so anything that is available to them is very useful,” Montour said. He also went on to add, “With this pandemic, you can’t even imagine what a lot of these kids are going through, how any unrest in their lives is heightened even more. It’s good to know they have somewhere to turn.” Montour is one of a handful of Indigenous NHL hockey players determined to somehow make a difference in assisting Indigenous youth in building confidence, hope and always being there as a role model. Montour says the Kids Help Phone strategy is strengthening accessible support services to Inuit, Metis, and First Nations Youth across Canada in an age where it is critically needed. In the last decade, suicide has been found to be the second highest cause of death among youth in Canada with the rate being five to six times greater among Indigenous youth. “From my experience, I was very fortunate to have parents that were able to provide what I needed,” Montour said. “But that’s not the case for everyone. For these kids, who might be good athletes, there might not be things available like hockey rinks or baseball diamonds and to see them struggle, it really hits home. Whenever I’ve spoken to Indigenous youth, whether it’s sports or otherwise, I tell them that anything is possible. You have to
Buffalo Sabres defenceman Brandon Montour is strongly encouraged by the commitment made by Kids Help Phone in strengthening support systems which are accessible for Inuit, Metis and First Nations youth across Canada who might be struggling and in need of assistance. Montour is encouraged and optimistic that Indigenous youth PHOTO BY YUKON FIRST NATIONS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION who might be struggling, will take action by exploring the Kids Help Phone’s programs available.
be strong, stick with your dreams, and get out of your comfort zone. A lot of these kids don’t leave their community or they leave and come back in a split-seconds. One thing I would want to tell them is to believe in themselves.” “You also need to put things in place because a lot of these kids are so afraid or just not comfortable leaving wherever they came from,” said Montour. “Whatever the issue may be, in a sense, it just might be that they aren’t comfortable getting out of the situation they find themselves in, that there is no escape route. These statistics show that once they face an issue or issues in their life, they can’t seem to find a way to get out of it. These initiatives are pathways to help and will definitely decrease those stats.” The NHLPA made a major investment to the service on Giving Tuesday, matching all donations which were made to Kids Help Phone. After assisting in raising $76,000 a year ago, the NHLPA is once again focused on equaling monitory donations up to $20,000 made on Giving Tuesday. “Players gladly share
encouraging words, hoping to inspire people to reach out if they need help,” Devin Smith, NHLPA Senior Director of Marketing & Community Relations said. “Kids Help Phone offers a full compliment of important resources for youth across Canada, and the NHLPA is proud to be able to help support these services however they can.” The organization has been challenged by the Indigenous Advisory Council of Kids Help Phone to seven goals through the plan of supporting First Nations, Inuit and Metis young people. The action plan drawn up consists of 37 activities which shows how the Kids Help Phone can between 2019 to 2022, make those goals a reality. “Finding hope, that’s what we hear a lot of from Indigenous youth,” Dunham, who is a Mohawk member from Six Nations said. “That (action plan) name came from comments of young people who use our services. It was actually a letter where a young person said, “You helped me find hope and light in my darkest place… It’s something
we hear continuously. Just having hope that tomorrow will be a brighter day is huge. It’s impactful and it saves lives.” In echoing what was mentioned earlier about suicide being the second leading cause of death in Canadian youth, and how it’s five to six times higher among Indigenous youth, Dunham gave her own thoughts. “It’s critical that we have support in building awareness and it’s important that the support comes from people youth know and trust,” Dunham said. “Brandon is someone that Indigenous youth can really identify with and trust. And when he encourages them to reach out, it has a strong impact. Brandon is somebody all Indigenous youth across Canada can identify with. When he says it’s okay to reach out for help, they will listen.” During the Kids Help Phone expanding commitment in assisting the Indigenous youth and communities all around Canada, actions have been taken such as hiring First Nations, Metis, and
Inuit wellness specialist who teach staff to visiting various Indigenous communities to share resources available to the youth and in an effective manner writing optimistic indigenous messages on the website. Basically, the organization’s prime objective is to reach and educate more people across the globe. Looking ahead, Montour is feeling optimistic that the Kids Help phone’s resources will be used and benefited by the Indigenous youth. Montour, who has played in 243 career NHL games, has a special message that he wants the Indigenous youth to hear and take to heart. “It’s just the hope… even if it’s a minute conversation I have with the kids. You listen to the issues that they are going through, and you make sure they understand hope does exist.” Hope is a word they will hear when they contact Kids Help Phone. Meanwhile, the Kids Help phone website is undergoing some special enhancements for the kids
convenience. “We are translating select pieces of our website content into 10 Indigenous languages,” Dunham said. “Five pieces will be translated into 10 indigenous languages and we’re developing a new interactive feature on the website that will be available in the 10 languages as well. It’s being done to increase access to our services. The interactive feature is basic introductory language, where people will be able to toggle between all of the languages. The goal of that piece is to really help non-Indigenous people understand the distinctiveness of First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities. We’re really trying to educate people with our voice, to educate young people about the issues that are affecting Indigenous people across Canada, and really highlight the skills and talents that these people have. We’re hiring Indigenous artists whenever the opportunity arises and the interactive feature on the website will be created by an Indigenous firm.”

2021 Indigenous Games postponed OTTAWA — Organizers for the 2021 Masters Indigenous Games (MIG), in partnership with the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism, announced the postponement of the event given the continued impact of COVID-19 cases, and restrictions regarding international travel and in-person sport competitions. In consideration for the health and wellness of participants and communities, and to maintain the spirit of the event, which is focused on bringing communities together through the celebration of sport and culture, Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario (the rights holder of the Masters Indigenous Games) made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 Games. “It was an extremely difficult decision to postpone the 2021 MIG,” said Marc Laliberte, President of Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario. “As an international event showcasing Indigenous sport and culture, we had thousands of athletes, families and communities
from around the world who were looking forward to training and attending next summer – especially after months in lockdown with limited opportunities to participate in cultural activities and sport competitions. However, as an organization, we felt that the health and safety of participants and communities, and the integrity of the event, would be compromised if we moved forward with hosting amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are fortunate to have great partners like the Algonquin Nation, City of Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism, who truly ‘embody the spirit’ of the MIG and continue to provide support and encouragement, as we look to reschedule.” Hosted and developed by Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario, the designated Provincial/ Territorial Aboriginal Sport Body for Ontario, the MIG provides Indigenous adults aged 20 years and older, the opportunity to compete against their peers in a variety of con-
temporary and traditional sporting activities. The Games bring together thousands of Indigenous athletes from around the world to compete in sport competitions, celebrate Indigenous wellness, and showcase the rich diversity of cultures and traditions of the world’s Indigenous Peoples. “Health is such an important component of the Masters Indigenous Games that it would be incongruous to proceed with so many unknowns,” said Michael Crockatt, President and CEO of Ottawa Tourism. “We look forward to hosting this prestigious event when conditions permit.” ISWO had originally announced an agreement with the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism, which included support for the hosting of an Ontario Indigenous Summer Games and two editions of the MIG, one in 2021 and a second, larger event in 2023. The 2021 MIG was set to be featured as the ‘Indigenous event of the year’ for the City of Ottawa.

Hockey player Davina McLeod victim of on-ice racism taunt NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Indigenous racism in lacrosse has been over the past few weeks a hot topic in TRT Sports. While a lot has been written about the Ontario Human Rights Commission future plans to examine anti- Indigenous racism in lacrosse, sadly indigenous athletes from various other sports have also experienced the hurtfulness of racism. Davina McLeod who is an Indigenous hockey player from the Northwest Territories, admitted to feeling shocked and hurt when playing for SAIT Trojans women’s hockey team on February 8, 2020, an opposing player from the Red Deer Queens squad loudly shouted a racial slur. Instead of ignoring what happened, McLeod went public on her Twitter account in telling how she felt. “In all my years of hock-

ey, I have never had to experience racism at that level, although I’ve heard stories of it happening,” McLeod said. “I felt defeated and taken back.” McLeod did eventually receive an apology letter from that player, but she wasn’t ready to fully forgive what transpired on the ice. “To have one of my
favourite places in the world tainted by a few words of an indignant person breaks my heart,” McLeod said. “It hurts even more knowing that no actual consequences will be done by the ACAC as I have to continue living with the realization that Indigenous people are not safe from racism in their league.”
In telling what happened, McLeod described that during the course of action, they became tangled up. The Red Deer Queens opposing player then shouted, “Get up.” In response McLeod stated, “I can’t get up. You’re on my stick.” That’s when to McLeod’s surprise she heard her opponent call her, “A dirty f---ing Indian.” In commenting on that McLeod said, “It just reiterates that we’re not really welcomed as a part of Canada. We’re not respected.” McLeod, whose family is from both the Inuvialuit and Gwich’in Nations of the western Artic added, “The way she said it to me was supposed to make me feel inferior to her, which I really didn’t like because I’m so proud of where I come from.” In terms of the apology letter she received, McLeod said that the Red Deer squad accused her of calling the opposing player “White trash”, which
she heavily denies. “I’ve played in this league for four years,” McLeod said. “I have never come close to crossing a line like that.” Meanwhile, the school team has received diversity training and the opposing Red Deer player, who isn’t talking, received community service. SAIT did take action by logging a formal complaint with the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conferences, who are in charge of college sport in the province. They responded by announcing (It) “In no way condones the racial slur used by the (Red Deer) player,” the Alberta Colleges Conference said. “But that it couldn’t draw conclusions from otherwise contractionary allegations.” Here’s hoping that eventually racism in not just hockey and lacrosse, but all sports, becomes a thing of the past and never has to be dealt with again.

World Junior Hockey Championships hold special meaning for Carey Price NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
As a young up and coming goaltender, Carey Price first established himself with Team Canada where in 2007, he grabbed MVP honors after helping them strike World Junior gold. Price, who in 2005 was selected first round, fifth overall by the Montreal Canadiens, was lights out two years later in Leksand Sweden at the World Junior hockey tournament. This traditional Christmas holiday tournament attracts attention of hockey fans from all across the globe. It was during this event that Price posted a perfect 6-0 record that was capped off by a 25 save performance in a gold medal 4-2 win against Russia. This was Canada’s third straight World Junior gold medal and first on European ice in a decade. During that magical gold medal run Price, who is a native of the Ulkatcho reserve in Anahim Lake, not only as mentioned above led Canada to a tournament perfect 6-0 record, but also recorded two shutouts and a 1.14 GAA as he went on to win tournament MVP honors. “When we got off to that quick start (Canada led 3-0 after one period) it was a lot easier for me to play,” Price said in reference to the gold medal game against Russia. “When I’m playing behind a (defen-

sive) group like that… they just let me play my game.” Reflecting on what made the World Juniors so special Price stated, “It’s your first real exposure to the hockey world; it’s where you make your mark, whether it’s to impress the team you were drafted by, or even to impress the teams you wish to be drafted by. Obviously, it’s a little bit bigger of a deal in Canada than it is in other countries. There is a lot more coverage, and it’s an experience to be able to play for your hometown and have everyone see you on tv for the first time.” The 2007 World Junior
tournament, which started December 26, 2006 and went until January 5, 2007, saw Canada playing their preliminary round robin games out of the Group A division which also consisted of teams from Sweden, United States, Germany and Slovakia. Canada would make that early statement by going 4-0 during Preliminary round action which saw them score 14 goals in those four games while only surrendering four. Team Canada fans from all across the globe had reason to get excited as Price made an early tournament statement by standing tall
as Canada on December 26, 2006, began that quest for a third straight gold with a 2-0 shutout win against Sweden. The next day, Canada showcased an explosive offense during a 6-3 win against the USA squad as they held a 2-0 record during the preliminary round robin portion of the World Junior tournament. The anticipation among Team Canada fans of another World Junior gold medal kept growing as Price was once again stellar on December 29 in a 3-1 win against Germany as they remained undefeated.

prove to be perfect in that fourth and final preliminary game which ended in Canada celebrating a 3-0 win against Slovakia. Heading into the tournament’s playoffs, Canada was set to make World Junior hockey history as they took a giant step by first defeating USA by a 2-1 score in an epic semi-finals shootout that is still talked about today. Days later in early January, Team Canada celebrated history as they defeated Russia in capturing for Canada their 13th World Junior gold medal.

While it might have been over a decade ago, chances are that every Christmas, when the World Juniors are being played, that Price can’t help but to have great flashbacks at what he, along with teammates, accomplished as they thrilled all of Canada by winning for Team Canada that third straight World Junior hockey gold.

Vancouver Canucks facing major backlash over Orca team logo NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
The Vancouver Canucks Orca team logo has come under fire. This iconic logo, which was created in 1997 and proudly displayed on the player’s uniforms has recently been criticized by a University of Manitoba historian and Indigenous Studies Scholar and professor Sean Carleton who stated the Orca logo’s “Coast Salish-inspired imagery was designed without Indigenous consultation.” He also believes the whale logo, which originated about three decades ago, and consisted of some artwork by Haida in it, is disrespectful to Indigenous people because the team continues in Carleton’s words, “Profit from branding that is appropriating their art style.” Referring to the different sports teams in various professional leagues who have recently made amends by agreeing to change their team’s nickname to one which weren’t seen as possibly racist, Carleton went on to state, “People will say, but Sean the imagery is a ‘sign of respect.’ How respectful is continuing to make piles of money from a business you operate on stolen land all the while
branding that business with stolen imagery. That’s the logic of colonial capitalism for you.” Meanwhile Carleton offered the Canucks organization an effective strategy for going ahead and creating an eye- catching logo. “At the very least, the Canucks should… work with Indigenous peoples to develop inconography in appropriate ways, giving Indigenous artists a platform and a way to participate and benefit.” The Canucks, who broke into the NHL in 1970, have in recent years played a handful of games wearing their alternative third jerseys which didn’t include the Orca logo on them. Backing up the Canucks franchise was Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, who claimed that the NHL organization had a positive relationship with local First Nations. “They haven’t taken issue with the Canucks logo, so I have no problem with it,” he said. “I have a Canucks jersey.” A year ago, back in 2019, Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini stated that the team were entertaining no thoughts at all about changing their team logo. “It’s indigenous to the region. We’re going to keep it,” he said.
Chances are most hockey fans might be stumped if asked who the only Indigenous father and son are to win a Stanley Cup. Hockey Hall of Famer and Ojibwe winger Reggie Leach is synonymous with hockey fans. Reggie Leach, who was affectionately known as the ‘Riverton Rifle,’ was born in Riverton Manitoba, and during a Hall of Fame 13year NHL career, won the Stanley Cup in 1975 with the Philadelphia Flyers. Meanwhile his son Jamie who was born in Winnipeg Manitoba, and was drafted third round, 47th overall in the 1987 draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins went on to play 81 total NHL games with the Penguins, Hartford Whalers and Florida Panthers where he totaled 11 goals and 20 points. Leach, who in total played in the NHL for parts of five years, won two Stanley Cups with his first coming in 1991 with the Penguins and his second coming a year later when with the Penguins he once against lifted Lord Stanley on June 1, 1992 af-

ter the Penguins swept the Chicago Blackhawks. Prior to his NHL career, Jamie Leach, who like his dad is a Band member of Berens River First Nation, competed in both the Western Hockey League with the New Westminster Bruins and Ontario Hockey League. In the OHL, Leach played with the Hamilton Steelhawks and in 1988/89 with the Niagara Falls Thunder where he exploded offensively with highs of 45 goals and 107 points. In 1989, Leach proudly represented Canada at the World Junior Championships which were held in Anchorage Alaska. In that tournament, which the Soviet Union won, Leach played against some big hockey names such as Pavel Bure, Sergei Fedorov, Alex
Mogilny, Teemu Selanne, Jeremy Roenick and Mike Modano to name a few. Following his playing career, Jamie Leach made a name for himself in coaching. Starting in 2001-2002, his presence behind the bench was immediately felt as he led the MJHL’s Southeast Blades to a 35-point improvement and as a rookie bench boss, won MJHL Coach of the Year award. In his second year, Leach continued to make all the right decisions as he led the Blades to a 41- win campaign and fourth in the overall standings. During a deep playoff run, Leach led his team to the MJHL finals where they fell short in losing to the defending champs, OCN Blizzard. “The 2003 final was one
of my proudest hockey moments,” Coach Leach said. “Being a part of the only league final with two First Nation based teams. We had a team of about 40 % indigenous players, not that we had quotas and that it mattered. All of our players formed a very tight knit group which was a special part of that experience.” While Reggie Leach had an incredible career, which saw him score 381 goals and 666 points in 934 NHL games, he along with son Jamie take just as much pride in working with the youth, in Shoot to Score Hockey which the father and son duo organized back in 2006. “Our hockey schools aren’t just for hockey,” Reggie Leach said. “We’re there to teach them as much as possible from being on time, being respectful, doing the best they can at all times and treating everyone the same.” Since they originated Shoot to Score, both Reggie and Jamie Leach have visited over 90 locations across North America, with about 75% of those camps being Indigenous or First Nation communities. Something Reggie and Jamie Leach take tremendous pride in.

Michelle Latimer resigns from CBC television series 'Trickster' STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — Michelle Latimer says she's resigning from the second season of CBC's Indigenous TV series ``Trickster'' where she served as co-creator and director. The Thunder Bay, Ont.raised filmmaker says it's ``with a heavy heart'' she's leaving the production after seeking advice over concerns raised about the accuracy of her claimed Indigenous ancestry. Latimer posted a Facebook message on Monday saying, ``I have listened to my community and feel that stepping away from the production is the appropriate course of action.'' The decision comes near the end of a whirlwind year that saw Latimer's star rise in the context of being a voice among Indigenous creators. She scored praise for ``Trickster,'' which was pitched as a Canadian series made by an Indigenous cast and crew, while her documentary ``Inconvenient

Indian'' won two awards at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Latimer had previously said she was of Algonquin, Metis, and French heritage, from the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and Maniwaki area in Quebec, but a CBC investigation last week challenged those claims and raised issues over her self-identification. On Thursday, Latimer wrote that she ``made a mistake'' in naming Kitigan Zibi as her family's community before verifying the linkage. She said she has reached out to elders and community historians to receive guidance and obtain verification. ``I stand by who I am and
by my family's history, but I also understand what is being asked of me,'' Latimer said in her Facebook post on Monday as she explained her resignation from ``Trickster.'' ``I recognize my responsibility to be accountable to the community and my fellow artists, and that is why I have made this decision. ``It's been an honour to have spent the last three years working to bring this story to the screen,'' she added. ``Trickster'' is based on a series of novels by Eden Robinson that tell the story of a teenager from Kitimat, B.C. who discovers he has magical powers passed down through generations. Robinson issued her own statement on Monday, addressed to her community, saying she was ``so embarrassed'' and ``felt like such a dupe'' over the recent developments. ``I don't know how to deal with the anger, disappointment and stress. As wretched as this moment is, I'd rather know the truth,'' she wrote. ``Keep holding me to account,'' she continued.
``Going forward, I'm going to donate all further author royalties from the 'Trickster' series to the Haisla Language Authority for the preservation of the Haisla language. As messy and real as our lives can get, I don't know how to walk in the world without my people and I pity anyone who doesn't understand what we have.'' In a statement, CBC acknowledged that questions around Latimer's involvement with ``Trickster'' have impacted everyone tied to the show and many Indigenous communities, as well. The organization said it will work with production company Sienna Films to ``determine the future'' of the TV series, which is currently at the script stage of its second season. ``Whatever the outcome of those conversations, CBC's commitment to telling Indigenous stories with the many creative Indigenous storytellers will not waver,'' the broadcaster said. Canada's arts community was roiled by the developments around Latimer, who was celebrated for
drawing attention to Indigenous stories through her Toronto-based independent production company Streel Films. Several organizations issued statements in recent days addressing the path forward for grant programs and policies meant to financially support Indigenous film and TV projects. On Friday, the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) called Latimer's situation ``an ongoing and evolving process,'' and said it intends to hold further community consultations in 2021 with a goal towards ``robust and transparent processes.'' Telefilm said Monday it intends to ``work closely'' with the ISO to assesses how its Indigenous funding programs can be best implemented and ``understand what implications this recent story may have for our programs.'' The National Film Board, which is slated to release ``Inconvenient Indian'' in 2021, said the organization is ``currently engaging with, and listening to the Indigenous filmmaking community. ``We are at the beginning
of a process, and will have more to say in the coming days,'' the NFB said in a statement. ImagineNative, a non-profit organization focused on showcasing Indigenous creators, says it will continue to develop policies that consider ``the diverse Indigenous communities and experiences'' of applicants for programs, such as its annual film festival. ``We recognize that many people who identify with Indigenous nations and communities have been disconnected from their communities and cultural ties due to the impacts of colonial assimilationist practices and policies,'' the organization said in a statement. ``In the spirit of caring and understanding, we support those individuals who are doing the work of reclaiming and being claimed. However, Indigeneity needs to be affirmed by the community before accessing opportunities and resources meant to mitigate colonial impacts experienced by Indigenous peoples and communities.''

Feds should give vaccine details: NDP OTTAWA —The federal government should come up with a plan to roll COVID-19 vaccines out in Indigenous communities immediately, NDP health critic Don Davies says. Speaking to a virtual news conference Monday, Davies said the federal government has deferred to the provinces to determine who will be vaccinated first but Indigenous health falls squarely in federal jurisdiction. ``This is a federal responsibility,'' he said. He said Ottawa should detail a plan to ensure Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine and others will be delivered to Indigenous communities that are experiencing health crises similar to or even worse than those in urban centres. ``Vaccination access should be based on one thing: vulnerability,'' he said. ``When we see Indigenous communities who are vulnerable all across this country and experiencing outbreaks at the highest levels in this country, then we must respond.'' He said none of the current 14 vaccine sites is targeted to COVID-19 hot
spots in rural or remote areas and that shows a consistent flaw in the way the federal government fails to prioritize Indigenous health care. ``When we speak of things like systemic racism that is baked into our system, I think this is the kind of manifestation of that,'' he said. ``It just is part of our normal response to not think of Indigenous health or to put it second and to accept that.'' Davies says Ottawa should consider flying people from remote communities to major centres to get the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and consider bringing the vaccine to central hubs in rural or remote areas. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is so far the only one approved for use in Canada against the virus that causes COVID-19. It requires storage in special ultracold freezers and is difficult to transport. Davies said the government decision to make Indigenous communities wait for a less finicky vaccine from Moderna, which is in reviews but has not been approved by Health Canada yet, is not accept-
able. ``That's sending a message that Indigenous communities are second-class citizens in this country, that they have to wait, that they're second in line,'' he said. Churchill-Keewatinook Aski NDP MP Niki Ashton told the news conference that people in her northern Manitoba riding who have COVID-19 fly to major urban centres, including Winnipeg, to get medical care they need on a regular basis. ``Let's see that same kind of approach, if necessary, be used for people to be able to access the vaccine, including the Pfizer vaccine,'' she said. The Conservatives have also pressed for a federal plan to get vaccines to Indigenous communities, as part of a broader push for faster vaccinations. Indigenous Services Canada said Friday that it's working closely with Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners to support an integrated and co-ordinated approach to support the delivery of a COVID-19 vaccine to Indigenous people.
