Woodland Cultural Centre gets $9.4 million to renovate former residential school DONNA DURIC

Set against a backdrop of hundreds of stuffed toy bears, shoes and flowers, Amos Key Jr. Introduced himself in his traditional language. The very same steps where those childhood symbols of joy currently lay at the Woodland Cultural Centre used to feel the footsteps of a century and a half of Indigenous children who were beaten for speaking that very same language. Some of those kids are now the same age as Key Jr., still unable to fluently speak their traditional language. The dark history of that building, formerly the Mohawk Institute Residential School, and all that happened inside to erase Indigenous languages and culture, will now forever be preserved. The WCC, sorely in need of renovations, will finally become a National Historic Site and undergo extensive renovations, thanks to $9.4 million in government funding announced on Monday.

“With this funding, we are that much closer to realizing our dream of opening up the former Mohawk Institute Residential School as an important interpretive heritage site to educate and uncover the truth,” said Janis Monture, executive director of the WCC. The dream of renovating the building has been years in the making, with community groups formed dedicated solely to fundraising for its preservation. Flanked by Mohawk Institute survivors at Monday’s press conference in front of the WCC, Catherine McKenna, Ontario minister of infrastructure and communities, said, “It is so important that Canadians understand what happened at residential schools. It’s a sign of progress. My dad’s an immigrant from Ireland. He didn’t know the history. I also didn’t know the history. I’m from Hamilton – 34 km away. The only way I found out about the Mohawk Institute Residential School was going to CBC,” she said, adding that the news outlet has an app where one can enter their address and find the closest former residential school

near their location. The Mohawk Institute closed down in 1970, after operating for about 150 years. It was the longest-operating residential school in Canada. The memorial of stuffed toys and shoes has been on the steps of the WCC since May, when hundreds of formerly hidden children’s remains were unearthed at a former residential school in British Columbia. Accounts of horrific abuse from generations of Indigenous children abound from the Mohawk Institute, as well as all residential schools across Canada. From the mid-1800s until 1996, Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and home communities and placed in residential schools in an effort to assimilate them into Canadian culture. The revelations of formerly hidden graves has prompted further investigations of residential school grounds across Canada. Preparations are underway to investigate the grounds of the former Mohawk Institute in Brantford for hidden graves.

The federal government is providing $7.6 million toward the project, while the provincial government is providing $1.8 million. The Woodland Cultural Centre is contributing $378,437. The project involves restoring the building’s masonry, restoring and replacing over 100 windows, upgrading the HVAC system, and finishing interior restorations including door frames, flooring, baseboards, and fireplaces. Improvements also include accessibility upgrades such as the addition of a barrier-free main entrance, an elevator, and accessible pathways around the building. The work will allow the Woodland Cultural Centre to restore the Mohawk Institute Residential School site, allowing it to open as a national historical cultural site for public education and healing. "Across the country, Indigenous communities and Canadians are mourning as more unmarked graves are located at the sites of former residential schools,” said McKenna. “Ensuring Canadians have a space where they can learn and

acknowledge the past is an important step in reconciliation. Today’s announcement for the third phase of the Save the Evidence project at the Woodland Cultural Centre will help rehabilitate the Mohawk Institute Residential School site...and allow for healing and the preservation of a past that should not be forgotten. In partnership with Indigenous peoples, provinces and territories, we continue our work to advance reconciliation and ensure Indigenous communities have the tools needed to succeed and ensure the well-being of their people." Pam Damoff, parliamentary secretary to the federal Minister of Indigenous Services and MP for Oakville North-Burlington, said, "The restoration of the Mohawk Institute Residential School will provide current and future generations a space to heal and to share the truth of residential schools. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all those involved in the Woodland Cultural Centre for sharing stories, art, language and cultural knowledge of Six Nations CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Six Nations moves to alert level green; bingo hall reopens DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

As Covid vaccination numbers rise and the community enters the loosest restrictions since the pandemic began, regular operations at the Six Nations Bingo Hall will resume at 50 per cent capacity. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council approved the resumption of regular operations at the bingo hall this week, with a number of Covid safety precautions in place. The exact date of reopening will be announced on the bingo hall’s social media accounts. Matt Jamieson, president of the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Corporation, which runs the bingo hall, reasoned that it should be allowed to re-open given the province has recently permitted bingo halls and other gaming facilities, including casinos, to operate at 50 per cent capacity in the Ontario re-opening plan. “We have contact tracing, we have a secured entrance, we have screening and guest tracking for tracing purposes,” Jamieson told elected council’s finance committee Monday morning.

“We’ve calculated we can comfortably host 250 patrons playing traditional bingo, along with 50 patrons playing our electronic, 24-ball bingo. We’d like to re-open, effective immediately, to host a maximum of 300 patrons all being socially distanced, and of course, subject to our Covid protocols.” Elected Council also agreed to move into “alert level green” under the community’s custom, colour-coded Covid alert system. It is the least restrictive alert level out of the five levels in the system. Six Nations was under alert level black for much of the early part of 2021, the highest restriction level, as the community grappled with hundreds of Covid cases that tragically resulted in a number of deaths. Jamieson said elected council’s green alert level only allows for a maximum of 50 people gathered indoors on Six Nations, which is why he sought special permission for higher capacity attendance at the bingo hall. “I think the (Six Nations Covid alert) framework should be updated to reflect the market conditions out there and keep a competitive environment. The 50 people number...I

think it’s arbitrary, given the fact that we’ve got over 30,000 sq. feet and we can host 1,700 people in the building. It doesn’t seem to make any sense to me. Whatever that process is, we’ll respect it, but we’re seeking clarity in how we can operate.” Coun. Helen Miller spoke to the broader implications of green level restrictions compared to off-reserve. “It’s wide open out there, except here. People keep asking me, ‘when can our stores have more than two people?’ Everybody’s going to the mall, everybody’s going all over and our stores can only have two people at a time. Green needs a good updating of some sort. It’s not mixing and matching with outside the reserve.” The bingo hall could fit 800 people at 50 per cent capacity, said Jamieson. “We mapped the floor based on current social distancing requirements. Based on that metric, we were able to calculate we could fit comfortably 300 people. It will get us back to an operating environment that’s profitable.” Jamieson said the bingo hall needs to hire more staff and they’ll make a social media announcement on when the bingo hall re-opens for regular operations.

of the Grand River, Wahta Mohawks, and Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, as we continue on the path to reconciliation." Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma said the provincial government is committed to healing and reconciliation with Indigenous communities across Ontario. "Today is a very important day, not only for the Six Nations of the Grand River, but for all Indigenous Peoples across Ontario and Canada who are reliving the pain of the past,” he said. “We stand with the Woodland Cultural Centre in their

efforts to save the evidence. Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill said the funding announcement is one more step towards “true reconciliation” in Canada. “The Mohawk Institute is one of the sadder and more challenging parts of our history. This place was the earliest and longest-running residential school in this country, operating for 142 years. The intent (of the school) was to change us, to make us someone other than who we are.” Hill said there were unnecessarily high death rates at residential schools, where the children were

malnourished and even purposely starved as part of scientific nutritional experiments. He said the building will be used as a tool to better educate Canadians about the residential school experience for generations of Indigenous children in the country. The memorial of toys and shoes on the front steps of the WCC was vandalized and set on fire two weeks ago. A woman has been charged in relation to the vandalism. Brantford Police have not released her identity.

The Indigenous community in Toronto celebrated the ground breaking of a new Indigenous Hub in the city. The new Hub will help meet critical health care, spiritual, employment, training and family support needs for a community traumatically impacted by colonization, the residential school system and the '60s Scoop'. More than 700 virtually attended the live streamed celebration on National Indigenous Peoples Day and the Summer Solstice. The ceremony at the building site featured a pipe ceremony conducted by Cree Traditional Healer Pete Keshane. The Hub is set up to be one of the first mixed-use, purpose-built Indigenous Hubs in the country and the first in Ontario, the milestone was celebrated with a socially distanced ground breaking event

Island and a home to support the reclamation of culture and identity,” said Joe Hester, executive director of AHT. “In fact, this project will advance on many fronts including the restoration of traditional medicines and green space to this block that has an industrial past; implementing architectural guidelines for Indigenous design developed for this project; and to land ownership and lease agreements with development partners that will guide and support the Hub forward for seven generations and more.” In 2015, as a legacy of the Pan Am/Parapan AM Games, the Province of Ontario transferred the land to Anishnawbe Health Toronto. AHT then partnered with Dream, Dream Impact Trust, Kilmer Group and Tricon Residential to co-develop the site for residential and retail uses. The ground breaking, hosted by Andre Morriseau, chair of Anishnawbe Health Foundation, also included remarks from Marian Jacko, president of AHT; Krystal Abotossaway, president of Miziwe Biik; pre-recorded remarks from Chief R. Stacey Laforme of Mississaugas of the Credit First

Nation; Mayor John Tory of the City of Toronto; Parliamentary Assistant MPP Robin Martin with pre-recorded remarks from Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott; Ken Tanenbaum, vicechair of Kilmer Group; and Stephen Diamond of Waterfront Toronto. At the end of the ceremony, the partners broke ground with 10 unique shovels designed and painted by five Indigenous artists. The four-storey, 45,000 square-foot Anishnawbe Health Toronto Community Health Centre will offer holistic health programs and services that integrate Indigenous and Western approaches. A majority of the construction of the Health Centre will be funded by the Ministry of Health with the rest being funded by community support from donors through Anishnawbe Health Foundation. Neighbouring the health centre is the Miziwe Biik Training Institute, which will serve as the employment and training partner. The new building will offer a hands-on carpentry workshop, tutoring classrooms, a business incubator and other multi-purpose training spaces for programming and gatherings,

as well as a childcare and family centre. The Institute will enable Miziwe Biik to double its physical space, helping to support 700 to 1,000 Indigenous people secure new jobs annually. The City of Toronto has contributed $7.8 million towards the creation of a new early learning and childcare centre for 49 children as well as a new Indigenous EarlyON Child and Family Centre, which will be located in the Miziwe Biik Training Institute. These centres will offer programs for children and families that will support and celebrate Indigenous knowledge, history and values. “This is a time of pain and hurt in this world and a reminder of just how much work there is in front of us. But moments in time and adversity like this can turn a nation onto a good path. And it is time for that good path,” said Chief R. Stacey Laforme of Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. “Seeing collaborations like this Hub, where all walks of life come together to make a dream into a reality, is very much in keeping with our traditional values. It is an example of a good path, and it gives us hope for the future."

Do golf shoes help your game?

New to golf or looking for ways to lower your score? Your shoes might make the difference JACE KOBLUN

Six Nations is lucky to have several 18-hole golf courses within a half-hour drive—including MontHill Golf & Country Club just off Highway 6. Whether you’re a new golfer or a veteran working towards a lower score, can golf shoes help your game or do they help just as much as a collared shirt? Almost all the latest golf shoes on the market claim to boost distance, consistency, and speed. First off, how do golf shoes differ from other types of athletic shoes? “Golf shoes are specifically designed to give players stability, balance and flexibility during the unique motion of a golf

swing. If the player is slipping or sliding during the swing movement, it is hard to make good contact with the golf ball and consequently difficult to produce good shots,” stated an article on golfweeks.com “Unlike other athletic shoes, golf shoes have a larger sole and a broader shoe base. Because the golf swing is performed while standing still, it's necessary to have a larger shoe base so the player can maintain good balance. Running shoes, tennis shoes or shoes made for team sports do not have such a broad base because quick or sustained foot motion is more a part of these sports than golf. If you tried some swings in your bare feet, you’ll notice a lot more foot movement than you

Do golf shoes actually help? TRT contributor Jace Koblun takes a FILE challenge to help you get your best foot in the game.

expected. Because of this, more stability can be really important when it comes to hitting straighter, farther, and more consistent. “The more stability a shoe can give a player the

better,” states golfweek. “Most golf shoes have built-in stabilizers along the side of the arches to help keep the feet from shifting or sliding right and left. Spikes are also part of the golf shoe,

which help keep the feet from sliding on wet or uneven turf.” To put golf and spiked golf shoes to the test, a test pro from Today’s Golfer put together an experiment in 2017 to see what the difference was when it came to average carry and average ball speed. Chris Ryan and Ed Simon Daddow hit balls at the range barefoot, in socks and wearing spiked and spikeless shoes. A launch monitor recorded data. To ensure a fair test both testers used a new pair of spiked and spikeless shoes and a clean pair of socks. We won’t tell you how to play your game, but here are the results of the test: Test 1 – Bare Feet Average ball speed: 151 miles per hour

Average carry: 253 yards Test 2 – Just Socks Average ball speed: 149 miles per hour Average carry: 247 yards Test 3 – Spikeless Shoes Average ball speed: 150 miles per hour Average carry: 257 yards

Test 4 – Spiked Shoes Average ball speed: 151 miles per hour Average carry: 259 yards

The only suggestion we have is not to play barefoot, as far as results go it was all pretty close. So, as the golf season picks up this summer just remember to get out there, have fun, and hit it hard!

OPINION

July 21st, 2021

Follow the story on social media!

editor@tworowtimes.com

One of our teachings over here at TRT about the history of Six Nations came from Ackland Davey. He told the story about how people settled along the Grand River and said, ‘Six Nations is a warriors settlement’. Very powerful. Very true. Most of our great aunties and uncles in days past were from warrior families who left the traditional territory, fighting as allies with the British and then fled into Canada. Of course that is a super boiled down version of a very complex history — one that eventually leads us to the settling of the Mohawks and such others on the lands granted to us along the Haldimand Tract. An integral part of that story is the relationship said Mohawks and such others had with the church — specifically with the Church of England and how our great aunties and uncles perceived their families being Christians as part of their duty as faithful warriors, allied to the British Crown. We weren’t just neighbours who were a part of a war of circumstance. The Six Nations, specifically those that followed Joseph Brant, were all in. Historical accounts show our political leaders pledged allegiance, made supplications and tithed into the efforts of Crown, Church and Country even after the deposition of the hereditary chiefs in 1924. In a letter to the Right Honourable Earl of Dufferin, Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada in 1874 ahead of his visit to the Hereditary Chiefs at Six Nations, Mohawk Parsonage leadership Abraham Nelles, Adam Elliot, James Chance, R.J. Roberts and Albert Anthony recounted the original instructions from the Crown by the

Colonial Office in 1670. “The instructions issued…respecting the Indians, were as follows: — ‘You are to consider how the Indians may be best instructed in the Christian religion, it being both for the honour of the Crown, and of the Protestant religion itself, that all persons within any of our territories, though ever so remote, should be taught the knowledge of God, and be made acquainted with the mysteries of salvation.’” It goes on further to account, “Many of the Six Nations are truly pious, and strongly attached to the English Church, and as a body, have always been distinguished for their unswerving loyalty to the British Crown.” Loyalty. A bit like salt in the wound, isn’t it? And still, cousins, the sting is good for us. It reminds us that we have a very long and documented historical account of being loyal, trusting the Crown with our families, our lands, our money, our children and our souls — all the way to today — where we are now able to hold those histories up and demand truth of the harm that came to us in that trust be heard across the country and that reconciliation be implemented at every level. We can’t fall subject to revisionist history about what happened to our nation — pointing the finger of blame in every direction in the void of knowing or having access to the historical account. Vigilante justice is not justice. Demanding accountability from who we perceive as the perpetrator of the crimes against our people throughout history without having all the facts, and without acknowledging the role those atrocities play in

our ongoing story — destroying the evidence — is wrong. Six Nations Elected Council issued a statement this week, condemning the targeted acts of vandalism and arson in our community. And they were right to do so. Truth and accountability for residential schools, colonization, loss of lands and loss of culture does not solely rest at the feet of the followers of Christ. The place that believers of Christ seek solace — to pray, to gather, to celebrate and mourn — are holy places that have been respected since our ancestors settled along the Grand. You don’t have to like it, agree, or join in — you just have to agree to keep the peace with all our relations. “Desecration must not be tolerated,” said the council. “…some have downplayed the destruction of churches as mere buildings. These buildings exist for the sake of people, our people. Destroying them hurts us.” We must demand an accurate historical account of the pathway to residential schools to be made accessible for members of the Six Nations community. It was not just Canada and the Crown that did us dirty. It was not just the Church. There were elite families, ally predators, who financially benefitted from the marginalization of the indigenous community and who still carry intergenerational wealth from steering the decisions of the church and governments while they had influence. All perpetrators of the genocide committed against our people need to be identified, the truth of their gain and intentions brought to light, and their historical contributions dishonoured.

Suburban monumentalism: How do we change Indigenous settler relations? By Patricia Landolt, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto and Paloma E. Villegas, Assistant Professor, Sociology, California State University San Bernardino Across Canada's cities, protesters have defaced statues and monuments to help rewrite Indigenous-settler relations. Powerful messages overlay the destruction: red handprints, ``clean water-land back,'' ``we were children,'' ``respect the treaties'' and ``215.'' But the suburbs have escaped this political reckoning for a mix of reasons. They've been written into our imagination as an empty land without history ready to be occupied and manicured. For more than a century, city-dwellers have been escaping the chaos of the city for the burbs. Our understanding of the suburbs as a place without history is a violent fiction of settler-colonialism. We suggest the term suburban monumentalism to explain how the suburban-built environment contributes to Indigenous dispossession and settler-colonial violence. Suburban monumentalism is an oxymoron. Unlike its urban cousin, suburban monumentalism does not occupy remarkable public spaces. As a result, it flies under the radar of political confrontation. Absent statues and public squares, suburban monumentalism weaves stories of ordinary settler families into the landscape. It erases Indigenous peoples from the land. Streets, subdivisions, schools and baseball

fields carry the names of ``founding'' settler families. Church museums, cemeteries and historical plaques celebrate the ingenuity and industry of the settler. In this quaint and barely noticeable form, the suburbs build on the cultural narrative of escape from urban chaos to erect a built environment that celebrates Indigenous dispossession. Occupying space alongside cookie cutter subdivisions and megamalls, suburban monumentalism is just bland enough to escape scrutiny. Scarborough's suburban monumentalism Scarborough, a bustling suburban region of Toronto, has key features of suburban monumentalism. Scarborough has been a site of settlement, migration and crossing for thousands of years. It has been a disputed territory for at least 200 years as Indigenous peoples have challenged settlement on unceded land and the duplicity of the treaty process. Indigenous people continue to live and shape the area, as well as fight for return of the land. All of this complexity and contentious political history is largely absent from Scarborough's monuments and built environment. Scarborough's naming conventions weave a settler-origin story into the land. The Thomson family appears in the naming of David and Mary Thomson Collegiate, Thomson Memorial Park and in the collections of the Scarborough Historical Museum. Historical plaques erase Indigenous histories and presence on the land. A

plaque in Scarborough's St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church cemetery reads: ``West of this point passed an Indian Trail leading to prehistoric Indian villages of which traces have been found. This was the Trail by which David Thomson, the first white settler in Scarborough, came to the site upon which he built his house in 1796.'' The plaque refers to an ``old Indian road,'' illustrating the myth of the Thomson family discovering and settling a largely uninhabited space. In Scarborough, the settler account suggests that Indigenous presence only leaves traces. The erasure of Indigenous people and the violation of treaty relations is naturalized through repetition. Every year, scores of school kids visit the Scarborough Museum and learn about the Thomsons building their first cabin and celebrating how hardy they were. These stories and the nondescript plaques that accompany them are instructive. They instil views about land and history. And in such stories, Indigenous peoples remain unnamed, invisible or assumed not present while settlers' names are woven into the suburban landscape as a natural presence. The practice is never accidental, it is a purposeful and political act refashioned as our shared history. We need to recognize that the work of rewriting the settler-colonial violence of the suburbs will take political awakening, a lot of dialogue and maybe a little vandalism.

"Warren is the heartbeat of the team," said Thunderbirds defenseman, Luc Magnan. "When he goes, we go. He gives us confidence, and he is always calm, cool and collected. He’s perfect balance of intensity and keeping the locker room loose. It’s a privilege to play in front of the King." Hill won an NLL Cup

with the Georgia Swarm in 2017, spending the season on the practice roster and developing his skills further in his first NLL season. He got his first NLL action in Feb. 2018 and signed with the Rochester Knighthawks in Dec. of 2018. The goaltender from Six Nations, Ontario earned significant playing time with his second franchise. In 387:53 min., he posted a stellar 10.36 GAA and .810 SV%. As an alum of Syracuse University, he played in 16 games for the Orange across his junior and senior years, finishing with 556:43 min. Between the pipes, a 10.25 GAA, and .454 SV%. was selected in the second round (No. 20 overall) in the 2016 NLL Entry Draft by the Georgia

Swarm. Hill was also the starting tender for Team Iroquois in the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Tournament, solidifying the backend on the way to a silver medal for Team Iroquois. Hill completed his fourth NLL season as the starting tender for the Thunderbirds in the 201920 NLL season. He posted career-bests in a number of statistics, primarily minutes played (590:26), wins (8), and goals against average (9.65). In 1021:32 min. of playing time, the left-hander has a career 12-5 win-loss record, 11.76 GAA, and .806 SV%. “I can’t wait to get back to work with this group of guys and return to the Nest,” said Hill. “There’s no place like it!”

Six Nations Minor Lacrosse League hosting practices

Scotia Hockey seeking Indigenous Hockey Players of all skill levels By TRT Staff

SIX NATIONS - With many Six Nations Minor Lacrosse League divisions filled, the SNMLA has been hosting outdoor practices for minor players on weekday evenings. With a surging amount of support, the youth have been able to get their sticks back int heir hands. On Monday, the organization notified parents and participants an exciting development in being approved to host modified games on TRT STAFF Saturdays and are set to release a schedule in the near future.

Summer lacrosse training for women and girls by Grand River Attack every Wednesday until Sept.

TORONTO —A casting call has been sent out looking for Indigenous Hockey players to take part in a Scotia Hockey Television Commercial to be filmed in Toronto. For this commercial, Powerhouse Casting is looking to give the floor to participants to talk about “negative experiences” in the sport and overcoming them. “We’re looking for players that are willing to talk about the harmful things or negative experiences during their hockey experience, while overcoming these things through powerful imagery of them excelling at the game,” reads the casting call. “Unfortunately, hockey has a history of being an exclusive and male dominated sport. As one of the biggest sponsors of hockey, our client is on a mission to change the game by making it more inclusive and diverse.” With travel costs covered, an honorarium will be sent and participants are asked to provide their have own hockey equipment for these key dates: August 3rd or 4th for wardrobe fittings in Toronto, and one date

between August 5-8 for video shooting in Toronto. Each applicant is asked to send in a video audition as well as hockey footage of applicant: “Tell us your full name, age, what level of hockey do you play, then answer the following: 1. What’s your single greatest hockey memory or accomplishment? 2. What do you love most about hockey? 3. While playing or practicing has anyone ever made negative comments to you about your race gender or abilities, and if so, has the adversity you faced motivated you? Could you share a bit about that experience with us? 4. For this scene, we want to see your best stare down (directly at camera) for 10-15 seconds. You’re facing off with an opponent, moments before the puck is dropped. Maybe your opponent is trash talking a bit — and in response, you just give them your most intense look, maybe a bit of a smirk, a bit confrontational.” Deadline to send video is Thursday, July 22, 2021, and andrew@powerhousecasting.com can be contacted for more information.

TWO ROW TIMES

B.C. provides funding for burial searches By Canadian Press VANCOUVER — The B.C. government says it will provide immediate funding to 21 First Nation communities to help with searches for human remains at former residential schools or hospitals. Murray Rankin, the minister of Indigenous relations and reconciliation, says each community can receive up to $475,000 for every site as it carries out searches, planning, technical work and archival research, while also engaging with elders, survivors and other First Nations that have an interest in an area. He says no deadline is attached to the grants and the funding is from the $12 million the province announced last month for research at former residential school sites, as well as for mental health and cultural supports for Indigenous communities. The government also announced the appointment of Charlene Belleau and Lydia Hwitsum as First

Nations liaisons to help the communities as the search for remains continues. Belleau says she wants to find the remains of her great-grandfather, who took his own life while at St. Joseph's residential school in Williams Lake. The Tk'emlups te Secwepemc Nation announced in May that ground-penetrating radar had identified what are believed to be the remains of 215 children in unmarked graves. Prof. Sarah Beaulieu of the University of the Fraser Valley said radar was used to search an apple orchard at the former Kamloops residential school after a child's rib bone and a tooth were found. The search in Kamloops has so far covered less than a hectare of the 65-hectare property. The final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission identified up to 6,000 missing children, but anticipated the actual number is greater.

Residents from four First Nations sent to Winnipeg By Canadian Press WINNIPEG — By the time Virginia Thomas left her home community of Bloodvein First Nation in eastern Manitoba on Monday evening, a nearby wildfire had made it to the main road. Thomas was part of a group of about 150 people who were transported out of the community to Winnipeg, about 250 kilometres away, due to wildfires and smoke. Since arriving in Winnipeg, Thomas said she has been helping to co-ordinate accommodations for members while they are in the city and is doing the same for the remaining 900 people who had to leave their homes Tuesday. ``This is the first time Bloodvein experienced anything like that,'' she said in an interview. ``We're trying our best to keep our people comfortable while they're here.'' Four First Nations in Manitoba have been evacuated due to wildfires in the eastern part of the province. More than 1,300 people from Pauingassi, Little

EDUCATION…A PATH TO TOMORROW

Grand Rapids, Bloodvein and Berens River First Nations have been sent to Winnipeg and Brandon with the help of the Canadian Red Cross. The Red Cross said a full evacuation of Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids was completed Monday, while similar efforts in Bloodvein and Berens River would continue for the rest of the week until everyone has left the communities. ``As it stands there hasn't been any issues with (Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids). Everybody's out and safe and sound,'' said Jason Small, communications manager for the Red Cross in Manitoba. There were 130 fires burning in the province on Tuesday after weeks of hot, dry weather. About two dozen were considered out of control. The fires also contributed to smoky conditions throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Environment Canada issued alerts for much of both provinces, noting smoke from wildfires across the Prairies was producing poor air quality

in that area. In addition, the federal agency said on its website that east winds brought smoke from fires in northwestern Ontario into Manitoba, while smoke from fires in eastern Manitoba was being pushed into Saskatchewan. Thomas said community members are worried about how the fires and smoke will affect the land and animals. ``To think about the animals suffering in the smoke, that really touches us as Anishinaabe people. That is our strength, we learn from those animals,'' she said. ``It's been very emotional for us.'' A number of grassroots organizations known as ``the village'' have volunteered their services to help the Red Cross and evacuees. Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre is providing direct support to children and families _ for the sixth time during wildfire evacuations. Jackie Anderson, the group's community evacuation response manager, said they had a few days notice

about the possibility so she quickly hired 24 staff to plan activities for families. The group has planned outdoor activities _ including a concert and cultural events _ to help with the isolation. ``If we're able to start organizing where we're bringing the different communities together, that's going to help our families feel less alone,'' Anderson said. About 20 members from CommUnity 204, a Winnipeg-based volunteer group, are providing mental health support as well as traditional teachings and medicines for evacuees, Daniel Hidalgo, the group's co-founder, said in an interview. Hidalgo added that two members are fluent in Ojibwa, which has been important in relaying information to residents during a time of uncertainty. ``That's been a huge factor in just calming people down and giving them a sense of familiarity,'' he said. ``A lot of them just need the reassurance that things are going to be OK.''

Indigenous getaways and educational experiences in Ontario continued from page 2

the building, as well as hear interviews from five Survivors of the Mohawk Institute.

Agawa Rock – Wawa This sacred site sits within Lake Superior Provincial Park. Centuries ago, Ojibway spiritual leaders painted animals and canoes in red ochre and they have remained on the rockface to this day. To find the pictographs and view them face on, hike down a trail that is marked to take you to the Group of Seven lookout. Take a right instead of a left then walk down a steep staircase cut into the rock.

Bon Echo Provincial Park’s Painted Rock Mazinaw Rock looks over Mazinaw Lake, 100 metres above the water, giving a grand view within Bon Echo Provincial Park.

The rock helps produce a great echo – giving the park its name – it also has more than 260 Indigenous pictograms that speak to the history of the painted rock. You can find it via one of the many hiking trails in the park, ranging in length from one to 17 kilometres, or take a 45-minute boat tour with an interpreter. The boat tour is still cancelled during COVID-19.

Petroglyphs Provincial Park – Woodview The largest known concentration of Indigenous rock carvings in Canada can be found at the Teaching Rocks in this camping area. Here you’ll find images of turtles, snakes and birds and learn about the traditions of the Ojibway and their medicine wheel. Dogs and cameras are not permitted at the petroglyphs site.

Cape Croker Park – Neyaashiinigmiing Nestled between high limestone bluffs on the eastern shore of Bruce Peninsula, Cape Croker Park has welcomed visitors of all ages since 1967. With 315 campsites, incredible hiking, scenic vistas and waterways, it is the perfect destination for families, couples and explorers seeking a rustic escape into nature. The Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation welcome you to Georgian Bay for Anishnaabe Cultural Experience Programs. You can camp on the grounds as you treat yourself to guided hikes, storytelling, craft making, and wilderness skills programs to share Anishnaabe history and traditional knowledge.
