TWO ROW TIMES
It’s a notable loss for the Six Nations community this week with the sudden passing of businessman and philanthropist Ken Hill. Grand River Enterprises President Steve Williams announced Monday morning that Hill, 62, died in Miami. Hill was one of the founders and majority stakeholder in the on-reserve tobacco manufacturer. The time and cause of his death has not been made public. Hill was one of the most prominent and successful indigenous business owners in Canada — more recently holding the title of GRE’s Marketing Director along with business partner Jerry Montour. GRE made international waves in indigenous tobacco, exporting Six Nations made cigarettes to markets in Germany, the Bahamas and the USA. Outside of the elected council, GRE is the largest employer on Six

Nations — simultaneously becoming and building the employment infrastructure that shifted Six Nations into being a community led by indigenous entrepreneurs and self-determination. Hill served on the Six Nations Elected Council for three consecutive terms from 1986-1991. Hill was a noted philanthropist, renowned for his generosity to the Six
Nations community in particular — but also to other indigenous nations across North America. Under Hill’s leadership, GRE donated millions to the Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services to construct the critically needed Fire Station in Ohsweken. For decades, Hill’s companies fully-funded the annual Indigenous People’s Day carnival on June 21 for com-
munity members to enjoy free of charge. Similarly in 2015 Hill began hosting Victoria Day celebrations at Beaver’s Corners with free food and events for all. He was fundamental in establishing and funding the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation, which has donated millions to indigenous youth across Canada funding extra-curricular sports, art, and health initiatives for individuals. The foundation also covered the entire cost for flying in materials and experts to build state of the art playgrounds on nearly every remote First Nation in Ontario as part of an ongoing project. Hill was a noted advocate of local sports — supporting the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs and co-owner of the Brant Golden Eagles, later becoming the Caledonia Corvairs. In 2014, Hill acquired the former Cayuga Speedway, and revitalized the site launching Jukasa Motor Speedway in 2018. Hill launched the Jukasa brand in the early 2000s following the devastating loss of his nieces Justine, Karen and Sarah. Under
the brand he launched the Speedway, the state-of-theart and award-winning Jukasa Studios, Jukasa School of Recording Arts, a full suite graphic design studio Jukasa Designs. In 2015, Hill launched a Jukasa Radio — again creating new infrastructure for the Six Nations community and employment opportunities for indigenous people in media and the arts. In 2019, after the devastating Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas, Hill co-ordinated a charitable drive among local businesses at Six Nations and the surrounding area along with the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation, Seminole Nation and GRE to deliver three jets filled with critically needed water, emergency relief supplies and clothing to bring to the hardest hit regions in the islands. Hill also made charitable donations to individuals in need throughout the community, often contributing to individual families to support with funeral expenses, medical costs, building homes for elders and space for ceremonies.

Black Alert: Six Nations enters highest pandemic alert level DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — As Covid-19 case counts skyrocket across the province and surrounding communities, Six Nations has moved into pandemic alert level five, with tight new restrictions in place. The colour-coded alert level, with five being black, the highest risk level, signals an out of control spread of the virus with the tightest restrictions possible. Six Nations moved into level five on Monday, just four days after Premier Doug Ford issued a province-wide stay-at-home order meant to curb the spread of the out of control virus. There are currently seven active cases of the virus on Six Nations, with 130 positive cases to date, and one death. Six Nations elected council released a statement urging all community members to avoid all non-essential travel starting Mon. Jan. 18 at 12:01 a.m. “Due to the rise in case numbers not only in the community, but in surrounding communities combined with the recent provincial Stay-At-Home order, this tells us that we have to move into the black Covid-19 alert level to prevent any further
spread of the virus and to protect our community,” said Elected Chief Mark Hill. The move to the black Covid-19 alert level means complete restriction of any gatherings outside of your immediate household, but permits single-member households to gather with only one other household. Level five also includes a stay at home advisory to avoid all non-essential travel unless for essential purposes (including but not limited to work, health care, and groceries). Businesses are advised to offer delivery, curbside and other contactless business transactions
only; schools and daycares will remain closed, along with gyms, the bingo hall, sports facilities and other personal care services; as well as designating essential workers only to work within all community workplaces, which is subject to the discretion of each businesses management. Six Nations is working on a notice that will be shared next week outlining essential businesses within the community. With this in mind, federally-run schools and daycares within the community have a new reopening date of Feb. 10, 2021 which will be reassessed over the next

few weeks. The black alert level will be reassessed on Feb.1. The statement said the community needs to be aware that surrounding hospitals are reaching capacity, and if capacity is reached, this will then mean elective surgeries, along with other non-emergency hospital visits will be put on hold. Meanwhile, Six Nations Police say they're getting notice of quarantine checks coming to their office from the Border Crossing Services, which means Six Nations community members are continuing to frequently travel and cross borders.
"Cross border travelling should only happen for essential workers and compassionate family issues at this point in alert level black," read the statement. "It is strongly encouraged that when members are travelling for essential purposes only, try to shop local within the community as much as possible. Covid transmission is rising and at critical levels in surrounding communities." Six Nations’ transmission risk is "alarming" due to the nearby COVID hotspots that surround the territory, and members increase this risk not only for themselves but the entire community every time they leave the territory, the statement noted. Six Nations elected council urged people to shop locally on the territory. Six Nations will remain in the black alert level until its Emergency Control Group has determined that risk is declining and case numbers are under control. “We are asking you to join us for what we hope will be one last push to slow and prevent the spread of the virus in our community," said Chief Hill. Six Nations members
showing any symptoms and wanting to conduct a Covid-19 test are asked to book online at www. sixnationscovid19.ca or those that cannot access the website may also call the Six Nations Covid Assessment Centre at 1-855-977-7737 or 226446-9909. More information on the measures under the Black Covid-19 alert level can be found at www.sixnationscovid19.ca. "Each community member must do their part by following the health and safety measures that protect against COVID such as frequent hand washing, constant cleaning and disinfecting of commonly touched surfaces at home and at work, wearing a face covering when around others that are not from your household or those who have symptoms, reporting symptoms to the community Covid assessment centre, and only travelling when necessary for essential purposes. Off-reserve community members are also encouraged to be diligent in preventing the virus from spreading. Staying home is the easiest, safest and best way to keep everyone safe from further spread of Covid-19."

STAFF REPORT
OHSWEKEN — Renowned Six Nations Elementary teacher and indigenous education policy reformer Keith Lickers has died. Lickers died on January 12. He was 79 years old. Lickers was instrumental in shifting indigenous education on Six Nations and across Ontario. He advocated for Six Nations schools to move away from teaching students the provincial curriculum of British History — and instead developed Six Nations own history curriculum to teach Haudenosaunee students about their own Haudenosaunee history. Lickers then moved on to work with the Ontario Ministry of Education in Toronto to develop an indigenous studies curriculum for teaching native studies across the

CALEDONIA — Caledonia area residents are expressing relief on social media after learning that the barricades blocking the Highway Six bypass will be removed by the end of the week. Skyler Williams, spokesperson for the land rights demonstration in Caledonia known as Land Back Lane, said the group agreed it was time to re-open the road to slow down detour times for area residents heading to work or medical appointments. The roadblock on Argyle Street between Braemar Ave. and Sixth Line will remain but it will be moved back slightly to allow access to the parking lot at Caledonia Baptist Church, said Williams. Last July, a small number of Six Nations people stopped construction of a former housing development site in Caledonia known as McKenzie Meadows, saying the property
sits on unceded Six Nations land. Since then, a number of supporters have been arrested for defying a court injunction barring anyone from setting foot on the former construction site. Three months ago, supporters of Land Back Lane shut down the bypass and Argyle Street in response to those arrests, said Williams. He said police used rubber bullets on the protesters at Hwy. 6 and Sixth Line on Oct. 22 and in response, roads were shut down for the safety of Land Back Lane supporters. "One guy was shot in the back of the leg and another guy had taser darts in his back but was able to pull away," said Williams. "The barricades went up as a means to keep our people safe. It was a crazy time to see those rubber bullets flying by and for me that was the second time I've been shot at. It's high time that we find some peaceful resolution. I think folks on both sides (Six Nations and Caledonia) are quite sick of this going on." Williams and a number

of other land defenders have been meeting with Six Nations Elected Council reps and members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council over Zoom recently to create a unified front before approaching the federal government for a resolution to Six Nations' long-standing land rights issues. "It really doesn't matter what side of the fence you sit on - everybody (on Six Nations) knows that this is our land that our ancestors
were screwed out of." In the meantime, Williams said the Argyle Street closure will remain in place until the federal government puts a moratorium on all development on disputed Six Nations land along the Grand River. "We've never been interested in seeing these barricades up," said Williams. "This isn't about road back - this is about land back." Yesterday marked six months since the Land Back Lane protest began.

Grand Erie School Board appoints new Superintendent By TRT Staff BRANTFORD – Grand Erie District School Board announced the appointment of April Smith to the role of Superintendent of Education, effective February 1. “I’m thrilled to welcome April to our Senior Administration team,” said JoAnna Roberto, Director of Education. “April is a highly respected educator and administrator with a wide range of experience. She brings a wealth of knowledge in key areas to lead our board strategically, and to support Grand Erie’s students, families, staff and stakeholders.” Smith joins Grand Erie from Avon Maitland District School Board where she previously worked as a secondary school
teacher before moving into administrative roles. “I’m honoured to be joining the Grand Erie team,” said Smith. “I am inspired by the Board’s Multi-Year Plan and its focus on building a culture of high expectations in the areas of achievement, well-being, equity, environment, technology and community. I look forward to making this my priority as we work towards these goals together.” In her role as System Principal, Smith led the New Pedagogies for Deep Learning initiative, which implemented global frameworks for fostering critical thinking, collaboration and connection among secondary school students. She was also responsible for Kindergarten to Grade
12 literacy learning, which included the integration of a leveled literacy intervention strategy for students in Grade 1, as well as the Closing the Gap in Adolescent Literacy initiative in targeted secondary schools. Smith fills the vacancy on Grand Erie’s Senior Administration team left by retiring Superintendent Linda De Vos. Grand Erie District School Board represents nearly 18,000 students in 58 elementary schools and more than 7,500 students in 14 secondary schools within the city of Brantford and the counties of Brant, Haldimand, and Norfolk as well as students from Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Elders and health care workers first to receive Covid-19 vaccine DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations has been busy these past two weeks, vaccinating frontline workers and its most vulnerable residents, less than two months since the world heralded the arrival of the first Covid-19 vaccine. Six Nations Health Services staff and elders are almost finished receiving the Covid-19 vaccine before a widespread rollout of the vaccine for the whole community occurs.
That is dependent on when the next shipment comes in, said Health Services Director Lori Davis-Hill. Two vaccines are currently being administered on the territory: one made by Pfizer (the first vaccine approved by Health Canada) and the other one made by Moderna. The first doses of the Moderna vaccine have been completed for residents at Iroquois Lodge who wish to be vaccinated, said Davis-Hill. Iroquois Lodge is a long-term care home on Six Nations. Iroquois lodge staff
received the Pfizer vaccine earlier in January and have also completed the first round of the twodose vaccination process. The second doses are scheduled for 21 days after the first dose for those who received the Moderna vaccine, and 28 days after the first dose for those who received the Pfizer vaccine, she said. "It needs to be highlighted that vaccination is to prevent serious illness from the virus - measures to prevent transmission are still required," said

Condolences from across North America have poured into the community of Six Nations at the news of the death of entrepreneur and philanthropist Ken Hill. He was a man that leaves behind a lasting impact on his community, family and nation. Jukasa Motor Speedways announced his passing and noted that the co-owner of the racing track would often be on hand at events, speaking to guests and welcoming participants personally. Grand River Enterprises, the company that he helped establish, noted his charitable efforts and reputation for giving back to the Six Nations community. Jukasa Media Group called Ken a visionary. “Kenny was always excited to meet new artists and was delighted to come into the studio and listen to what was being created. He had an undeniable presence that was felt from the moment he walked into a room. That presence will be sadly missed.” Ken was an avid supporter of the Two Row Times. As journalists we are all too often hear critical feedback when folks don’t like our coverage of an issue. It’s an industry thing. But Ken was different. He read the paper every week and would send messages of support to our staff and writers for no reason in particular other than to offer encouragement and support. He’d stop us in the street to just chat
about what was going on in the news and always encouraging us to keep going. We are devastated at the news of his passing. This has been an incredibly difficult work week and hard finish to put this paper together this week. A lot of tears have been shed. But we remember Ken’s words of encouragement and press on. In an interview with TRT publisher Jonathan Garlow in 2019, Hill shared the story of his humble upbringing at Beaver’s Corner on Six Nations. Hill told the story of being one of a family of 14 living in a small home. Ken shared precious tales with us of his late mother, hauling water from the swamp and up to the house to wash clothes for the family. Ken remained in that home for the duration of his life, eventually turning the family homestead at Beaver’s Corner into a mansion with surrounding businesses and the kind of community infrastructure that will last for generations. He was known for his wealth, but he was greater known for his support and generosity. In the early Christian tradition, there are four different types of love described. Agape, is the word the Greek translators used to describe love in the form of charity. Agape love is the love that is unconcerned with self, but looks at the greater good. Agape is the kind of love that doesn’t come as a response — it just comes from the heart as an action of human will
and a choice. The true desire of faithfulness to others, and sacrifice, without expecting anything in return. It is the true form of love. It is top-down love in the way that the Creator provides for his creation. It is an empathetic, lovingkindness for all people. Agape love is a treasure that can be passed from person to person in this world. A treasure that doesn’t tarnish or lose it’s value. It is in those kind gestures of unwarranted compliment, putting someone at ease when there is distress in the community, an assurance that you are accepted, included, welcomed, and embraced — just the way you are. This was the experience that so many had with Ken. And this is how he will be remembered. A man who always had the community in his mind and in his heart. Someone who remained in his childhood home. A man who was a proud Mohawk, stood up for his rights and stood behind members of the community as they rejected being subjugated by Canadian standards. “Kenny was truly one of a kind. He made a powerful impact on his community, inspired so many people around him and will forever be remembered by those who were lucky enough to know him. We are grateful for the opportunities he has given us and will continue his legacy he so passionately built.” wrote Jukasa Media Group.

Elders and health care workers first to receive Covid-19 vaccine continued Davis-Hill. Frontline workers and elders were prioritized to receive the vaccine. Consent has played a role in all vaccinations to date. Davis-Hill said residents' family members and primary caregivers provided consent on behalf of residents do not have the capacity to consent. And not all Iroquois Lodge staff consented to the vaccine, she said. "Provincial guidelines have not made this mandatory for healthcare workers, although those who want the vaccine were granted priority due to the nature of their job, and the vulnerable populations they provide medical care for." The next vaccination plan is geared towards the Jay Silverheels Complex (JSC, which also houses elders), with about 20 requested doses for staff and residents. Six Nations Paramedics plan to help administerthis vaccine to JSC residents, said Davis-Hill. But despite the quick rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine at Iroquois Lodge, tight safety measures meant to control the spread of the virus in the lodge remain in place. "Vaccination does not impact any of the current safety precautions at the lodge," said Davis-Hill.
"There is no change in restrictions whether or not staff or residents have been vaccinated. Vaccination has been shown to protect the individual from serious illness from the virus 95 per cent of the time. All public health precautions will still need to be maintained until a sufficient level of immunity is achieved in the broader community. There is ongoing research to determine the vaccine effectiveness on transmission of the virus, but nothing has been released yet. We still need to ensure we are protecting our elders, even though they are vaccinated." Covid-19 has ravaged long-term care homes across the province, resulting in thousands of deaths. Iroquois Lodge has been virus-free since the beginning of the pandemic. “Protecting our Elders and most vulnerable has been the goal since day one," said Davis-Hill. "We are happy to continue fulfilling this goal by ensuring our Elders at our Long Term Care complexes are vaccinated first, should they choose. We are looking to vaccinate the larger Elder and vulnerable population in the coming weeks.” Six Nations health care workers have travelled to hospitals in Hamilton to receive the Pfizer since it

Six Nations is currently waiting for more Moderna vaccination doses to be received within the community. "We are still working through confirming the priority list and is expect-

Habs’ goalie Carey Price unveils new designed mask NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
These days Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price is sporting a new look. Heading into the shortened 56 games 2021 NHL season, Price will be wearing a brand- new goalie mask designed by Calgary artist Jordon Bourgeault. This unique one- of -a -kind mask looks like what has been described as a ‘biochemical skull,’ which honors the great Canadiens goalies from the past. Bourgeault, who operates J Bo Airbrush, went on to describe the mask in great detail. “It’s sort of the history of all past Montreal Canadiens goalies and all of their information being pumped directly into the brain of Carey Price, which is sort of this half-human, half machine goalie beast. That’s the idea. He’s a machine/man to block pucks and he’s got all that past information helping him.” He also went on to say,
Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price, who grew up in Ulkatcho First Nations entered the abbreviated 56 game NHL season sporting an elaborate new mask designed by Calgary artist Jordon Bourgeault. This mask pays tribute to the past great Montreal goalies such as Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy and Jacques Plante to PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT name only a few.
“I really wanted to throw something Montreal Canadiens into it. It (mask) also runs up to where the camera system is, which is one of the eyes, the robotic-side eye. So, it’s almost like all of the skills and everything learned from all the goalies of the past are now transferred into him and making him the ultimate cyborg goalie.”
Five Oaks Retreat Centre is seeking an Indigenous Partner Program Coordinator. Visit the Indeed post to submit your Application. The link to the posting is found at: http://fiveoaks. on.ca/job-opportunity-indigenous-partner-programcoordinator/
In total Bourgeault believes that he has spent an estimated 250 hours designing, prep and painting the mask. He used a matte finish on the human parts of the mask like bones, teeth and brains. “My favorite part are those historical elements. The circuit board, which says Montreal Canadiens Goaltender Power System, has Patrick Roy, Jacques Plante, (Georges) Vezina, Ken Dryden and some of the wiring for that goes directly into the brain of Carey Price and also runs up to the camera eye. The camera eye is an acronym for Habs- which is Habitants Archival Blocking System. So he’s getting information from the past pumped to him to help him be this ultimate
goalie. And in that camera eye you see the reflection of Rocket Richard. I just thought it was a cool way to tie in the Montreal Canadiens, especially since I knew there might be some haters out there because it wasn’t a giant Montreal Canadiens logo on the mask.” On back of the mask, Bourgeault included the message, Made In Canada written in English and French around a maple leaf which symbolized the Canadiens logo in 1910. “In as many little spots as I could without being too silly with it, I was trying to pump in as much of that old history as I could,” he said. Reflecting on how he got the opportunity to design a new mask for Price, this Calgary based artist stated, “He just sort of messaged me on Instagram randomly and said he had seen another mask I had done and said it was one of the coolest ones he’s ever seen. That was quite the compliment so I just kind of hit him up and said well let’s talk man. Maybe we can paint one for you.” Price, who grew up in Ulkatcho First Nations in Northern British Columbia is ready to showcase his new mask in what he hopes will be a shortened season to remember, which will end with him and the Canadiens celebrating a Stanley Cup.

Buffalo Sabres’ fans were treated to a recent inside look at defenceman Brandon Montour’s outgoing on-ice personality. Taking the ice for the Sabres final training camp practice, prior to the shortened 56 games season, a mic’d up Montour was all smiles as he could be heard joking with Curtis Lazar by claiming that they (Buffalo media) ran out of content and that’s why he’s wearing a microphone. During practice, which was held at KeyBank Center, Montour’s sense of humour was on display as he good naturally reminded Lazar about the mic and told him not to swear at me. To this Lazar simply grinned and replied, “Whose

Mike?” Fans got an inside look at Montour going into detail talking defensive strategy with fellow defenceman Rasmus Dahlin. Continuing to showcase that outgoing personality, he even complimented fellow defenceman Henri Jokiharju by telling him that he looked good. Still wearing the mic, Montour between drills asked veteran forward Eric Staal if he cooked or ate out the day before in which Staal replied that he cooked lasagna and that he’s still full. This segment which was on Sabres TV can be found in the Buffalo Sabres website and it’s a great way for fans to learn more about the fun- loving personalities of their favorite players such as defenceman Brandon Montour.

Steelhawks’ Cameron Sault not shocked about Allan Cup Hockey League cancellation NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Growing up and into his adulthood Cameron Sault was your typical Canadian in that he loved to play hockey. Stickhandling at full speed on the ice, Sault no matter if he was playing with friends or more recently the Hamilton Steelhawks was always full of passion and had that trademark smile on his face. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sault won’t be playing for the Steelhawks this season as Allan Cup Hockey (ACH) Commissioner Tom Strauch announced in December cancellation of the season. “I saw a press release from the league president stating that there would be no 20-21 season,” Sault said. “I knew the chances of a season happening at all was slim so when the announcement was made it was no surprise.” Reflecting on his passion for hockey Sault, who is a
Hamilton Steelhawks veteran forward Cameron Sault played six seasons with the Brantford Blast. PHOTO BY NEIL BECKER
veteran of the Allan Cup Hockey League added, “I’m missing skating and playing for sure. I mean for as long as I can remember that’s what I loved about the winter the most. Playing puck. I’m usually on the ice 3-4 times a week during the season but not this year. Playing hockey is a huge self-care practice for me and has been for a long time. The teammates, the competitiveness, the skill level, the physicality and the simple joy and fun of playing. I’m missing all aspects of the game.” Prior to last year’s COVID-19 shutdown in March, the Steelhawks
found themselves in the drivers’ seat leading the Ontario finals 2-0 over Sault’s old team, the Brantford Blast. “Leading the Ontario finals vs. Brantford two games to nothing, and having the season all of a sudden cancelled was tough to take,” Sault said at the time. “We had an Allan Cup contender of a team for sure.” In the December press release in officially cancelling the season, ACH Chairman of the Board Don Robertson stated, “We pulled out the common -sense book and it indicated that for

the safety of our athletes and organizations and of course our fans, this was the only move that made sense. With most of the Province of Ontario shut down and most buildings not permitting fans, the Board of Governors has made this difficult decision. Last year we lost the Allan Cup tournament and this year is clearly no picnic either. That said, we are hopeful for the 2021-22 season and hoping to host the World’s oldest National Hockey Championship, the Allan Cup in Hamilton and Dundas in 2022. Stay safe everyone” Sault wasn’t sure what his future holds in terms of returning in a year’s time as he said, “To be honest, I hadn’t made a decision about playing another season. If it’s safe to return to play next season and they have a league then I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.”
Oilers Ethan Bear looking to build off solid rookie season NEIL BECKER

Make no mistake the Edmonton Oilers are looking for sophomore defenceman Ethan Bear to take that next step. Bear, who was raised on the Ochapowace Nation in southern Saskatchewan, is coming off a solid rookie campaign which saw him finish 10th in Calder Trophy voting and fifth among rookies with 21 points, proving to be quite the inspirational story. Last year Bear came into Oilers training camp as a 22- yearold facing long odds of making the team. Showing perseverance Bear, who was selected fifth round, 124 overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, made a statement with his strong play during the 2019 training

camp. “He seized the opportunity last year and good for him, and his play went along well all year,” Oilers coach Dave Tippett said. “The expectations of how he was going to play were imperative to our team playing well. It’s no different than last year. At the start of the year everyone was surprised, but by the second half of the year he was in his role- playing big minutes and doing a good job.” Tippett went on to add, “That’s exactly what we need him to do this year. He has to come in and make sure he’s doing his part and the expectations we have for him. I think his game will continue to grow, but it’s not as if we’re asking him to come here and change his game. We want him to play similar as he did last year.”

In his 79th year, died suddenly and peacefully and Brantford General Hospital on January 12, 2021. Married to his loving wife Phyllis for 53 years.

Keith dedicated his life to Indigenous education beginning as a senior elementary teacher in 1963 at J.C. Hill in Ohsweken, Ontario. In 1972 he became the first Executive Director of the Woodland Cultural Centre. From 1974 until his retirement in 2006 he commuted daily from Six Nations to Toronto where he led policy reform of Ontario’s education curriculum for Indigenous studies at the Ontario Ministry of Education. His efforts were supported by many fellow educators at Six Nations to solidify Indigenous education in Ontario.
