BRANTFORD - Survivors of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford called for a criminal investigation today, saying over 50 children went missing while attending the school. Flanked by Brantford Police and Six Nations Police, Mohawk Institute survivor Dawn Hill told a press conference gathered in front of the building that the disappearance of the children was a crime, calling for an investigation and search of the grounds at the former residential school for potential hidden graves. “We request the police to investigate the deaths of these children and where they are buried,” she said, reading from a letter addressed to Six Nations Police Chief Darren Montour. “We need answers and we need to find the children.” About 15,000 Six Nations children attended the Mohawk Institute, also

known as The Mush Hole due to the bland, sticky porridge the kids were forced to eat for breakfast every day. Hill said many of those children never came home. “We were told they ran away,” said Hill. “We never saw them again and neither did their families. Many children died at the Institute. We don’t know what happened to them or where they are buried. We believe many are buried at the grounds of the former Mohawk Institute, now the Woodland Cultural Centre, as well as the adjacent grounds and fields.” She said students were subject to physical, mental and sexual abuse at the institute. “Some children died as a result of this abuse,” said Hill. “Staff members and those running the school were never held to account for their actions. When children died, we were never told. We believe some of them died as a result of the actions of the staff and these deaths are highly suspicious. Children’s deaths were covered up and not reported properly.”

The call comes after the remains of more than 1,300 children have been discovered in previously unknown graves at residential schools across Canada since May. The Mohawk Institute was Canada’s longest-running residential school and closed down in 1970. The federal government, in partnership with religious institutions, kidnapped and forced Indigenous children to attend residential schools since the mid-1800s in an attempt to assimilate them as colonial Canadians. “Many families never saw their children again,” said Hill. In 1983, bones were found buried near the building, she said. The bones were identified as human or hip bones belonging to a child. The bones were re-buried on the grounds. “It does not appear that the matter was fully investigated,” said Hill. “Where they are buried is unmarked.” Two fires at the school over the past century will

make the search for possible remains even more difficult, said Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill. “We have just witnessed survivors making an official request to our police,” he said. “We know that this is enough to trigger a criminal investigation.” Death records uncovered during the years 2008 to 2015, while the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission investigated the horrors behind residential schools, revealed 54 children died while attending the Mohawk Institute. “What we don’t know, is where those little bodies are buried,” said Chief Hill. “We know that throughout the institute’s history, there was upwards of close to 500 acres that formed the school property. Every last acre needs to be searched.” On June 11, Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council sent a letter to the premier, solicitor general, the attorney general, the chief coroner’s office, as well as the Ontario Provincial Police, telling them that this is a criminal death investigation.

“The reason we are commencing in this way is because we have witnessed what other communities have done. Proceeding in this way, we want to ensure that there is justice and accountability right from the beginning. We support our survivors and it is time to do this work. If we do not do it this way, evidence may be compromised in the investigation process. There is much work to do.” Chief Hill said they support the creation of a multi-jurisdictional major case management police task force to investigate the matter. “We are asking various police services to work with us in collaboration to do this investigation with the Six Nations Police Service, the Brantford Police Service, as well as the Ontario Provincial Police.” Chief Hill said the recommendations for how the investigation will unfold came from numerous meetings with survivors. “This process must be survivor-led, trau-

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Police say a 38 year old man from Ohsweken has been arrested and taken to hospital after a suspected mental health crisis outside the Six Nations Central Administration building. Police and a bystander apprehended the man in a video captured by a local resident. Police said in a statement the male was wearing camouflage clothing, walking around the building while screaming and yelling, handing out flyers and did not appear to be acting normal. Police were then updated that the man had a can of paint and may be leaving hand prints everywhere. Police arrived at the location and observed an orange tarp on the north side of the property. Police approached the male and were attempting to speak with him. The male stood up facing police and pointed a thin large object at police while yelling. Police observed the male to be wearing red sunglasses, a mask with

his hood up, and he had red paint on the exposed parts of his face. Police were unsure of what the

object was in the male's hand and ordered him to drop it. The male's hands were also covered in red

paint. Police were able to identify the object the male was holding as an eagle feather. The male was combative and assaulted the officers. Police eventually gained control of the male. A female bystander also assisted police while they were trying to arrest the male. Police took the male into custody and in a statement later said they seized two knives and a 12 gauge shotgun shell from him. The man was taken for a mental health assessment at a local hospital.

Cory Stephens receives 2021 Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations By Jace Koblun with files Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) and CIBC announced Cory Stephens of Indigenous ACE as the recipient of the 2021 Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations. “This award is presented to individuals who challenge the status quo and take action to advance Indigenous business relations,” said Tabatha Bull, president and CEO CCAB. “Mr. Stephens is an exemplary example of this initiative, and we are pleased to

present this award to him.” Stephens was born to a Tsimshian mother and raised in Prince Rupert, B.C., with her and his Nisga’a stepfather. He grew up in multiple communities and cultures resulting in his vested interest in advancing Indigenous business relations and entrepreneurship. He is a commerce graduate of Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria. From there, he has dedicated his knowledge and expertise to bridging the gap between

Indigenous entrepreneurs and the national business landscape respecting tradition and culture while encouraging connection and understanding with non-Indigenous society. After working with several businesses and government trade organizations, Stephens founded Foot Print Consulting based in Prince Rupert. Foot Print aimed to support the growth of Indigenous communities while preserving local traditions and customs. He would develop a training and capacity

program for Health Canada that would become a best practices model for Pacific Coast First Nations organizations. His work continued with the development of a First Nations’ economic development strategy and included identifying, researching and reporting on barriers to First Nations’ economic development and access to capital. “Entrepreneurship, from a First Nation's perspective, is often a strategic balance between community, culture and commerce,” said Stephens.

Cory Stephens is the recipient of the 2021 Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business LONI WISHART announced on July 20.

In 2013, Stephens was approached by the University of Victoria to join the newly created Indigenous Advancement of Cultural Entrepreneurship (I-ACE) program (formerly known as NW-ACE) aimed at teaching entrepreneurs start-up methodology. He became the learning and enhancement officer and program manager for the northwest. He has been recognized by peers for the “operational success” of the program and its many awards. In the eight-year history of the program, there have been 40 cohorts of the program resulting in 564 graduates, 184 new businesses and 67 Indigenous communities served. Stephens continues to be a mentor to these budding entrepreneurs and business people. “As an entrepreneur, teacher, mentor and coach, my greatest reward is the gratitude expressed from those who now see the world from a different perspective,” Stephens continues. "That is, envisioning opportunity through an entrepreneurial lens while remaining true to our Indigenous values. I am honoured that my life's work and pursuit to build bridges and entrepreneurial capacity among First Nations, is being recognized by Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business.” “It gives us great pleasure at I-ACE to share this incredible national recognition that Cory Stephens has earned,” read a post shared on Indigenous ACE’s Facebook page. “Congratulations to our own Indigenous ACE Program Manager Cory Stephens for

receiving the 2021 Award of Excellence in Aboriginal Relations from the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. Cory has worked hard to bridge the gap between Indigenous entrepreneurs and the Canadian business landscape in a way that respects Indigenous culture and tradition.” The Aboriginal Business Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations recognizes an individual who has contributed, through professional and voluntary commitments, to building bridges between Indigenous peoples and Canadian society, making a substantial impact across all sectors, socially, culturally, and politically. It highlights the efforts of people who have been ambassadors in working with Indigenous peoples and communities.

“At CIBC, we are focused on taking an active role in educational programming, sponsorships and donations at both the community and national level,” said Linda Hartford, executive director, trust, CIBC Indigenous Markets. “Mr. Stephens exemplifies dedication to bringing community together through education and entrepreneurship and we are delighted to be presenting this award to him.” The award will be presented on September 22nd during CCAB’s Business Recovery Forum, a live virtual conference and unique experience to discover innovative ways to network, collaborate, and exchange ideas to rebuild business and strengthen the path toward a healthy and prosperous Indigenous economy.

Pisew Falls – Place where the lynx dwells JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Ontario may be home to Niagara Falls, and Hamilton, the waterfall capital of the world, but Manitoba locals might say it’s Pisew Falls that takes top spot on Turtle Island. At Pisew Falls, which means Lynx is Cree, the Grass River drops 13 metres, changes direction and jets down through a gorge. A short boardwalk leads to observational platforms, but the real beauty of the falls can be seen by stepping off and bushwhacking a few hundred yards. “It’s one of those selfies that you know is a risk because it’s really dangerous past the boardwalk, but I’ve always done it, you just need to know where you can and can’t step,” said a hiker this July. The falls are located approximately 700 kilometres north of Winnipeg. There has been one fatality at the falls in recent years, and a memorial trail-marker is there to attest to that fact. The ledges are steep, the fall is long, and the current below is swift. By staying on the observational platforms you still get a great view of the impressive falls. Most locals know that Pisew Falls takes its name from the Cree word “lynx” and say it is because the sound of the hissing water

bears a resemblance to the sound of this wild northern feline. But there is another similarly named river leading into the Grass River which eventually becomes Pisew Falls — Missipisew River. The word “missi” means “big or great.” Attach it to “pisew” and you get Missipisew — the great water lynx. Here the water lynx is seen as a mythological creature associated with safe water travel and good fishing. Missipisew lives in lakes, waterfalls and rapids where it’s known to throw canoe-tossing temper tantrums. Depending on the quality of paddlers’ offerings, Missipisew may protect or endanger them by thrashing its long, spiked tail to create turbulence and turmoil. If you’ve ever seen the falls or the rapids that span the lower falls, you’ll see Missipisew’s handiwork. Because of the continuous flow of water over the falls, the localized area has developed its own microclimate, according to the Manitoba Department of Conservation. Its creation is due to the intensive geological activity in the area hundreds of thousands of years ago, when violent tectonic effects caused the creation of first a fault, and then an upheaval of the southern side of the fault line. “A wide variety of mosses, lichens, and fungi can be found in the immediate area around the base of

the falls. There are also a variety of ferns whose origins date back to before the last Ice Age. The dominant winter feature downstream and to the right of the falls is the ice that builds up on top of a small island there. This island only rises a few feet above the downstream water level in summer, but by late February, the ice accumulates to approximately three to five metres thick from the months of freezing spray,” states the department’s website. “At

2021

the periphery of this barrier between liquid water and frozen surroundings lies a thin ridge of plant growth that continues to survive throughout the harshest of the -45 C days in this frigid northern wilderness. Normally the process of photosynthesis ceases in the surrounding area.” “This waterfall is really magnificent! I would love to come back to this place,” said a Tripadvisor review online.

OTTAWA - Dr. Peter Henderson Bryce, Chief Medical Officer of the Indian Department, may not have been the first to publicly expose the horrible conditions of the residential schools in the early 1900’s, but he was the most qualified to do so when he wrote the report that would cost him his job, and the closure of his entire office. It’s a story the Canadian government, in collusion with the Church, tried to keep hidden for generations. But it has all come to light again after several class action lawsuits, launched by former pupils of these so-called schools, and a renewed media and public interest. Of course, these are horrors the former students of these institutions located across Canada and their families have known about all along but have been reluctant to talk about, until recently. By now, most people will have been made at least somewhat aware of the allegations of intentional genocide being conducted towards an entire race of people, all hidden behind colonial law and a church frock. There may not be a more damning indictment against both the church and the state than their own records. This including Bryces scathing report. Rather than consider and make steps to enforce the recommendations contained, however Minister of Indian Affairs at the time, Duncan Campbell Scott, buried

that gave Bryce his orders and responsibilities recites: “The undersigned has the honour to report that there is urgent necessity for the appointment of a medical inspector to represent the Department of the Interior and Department of Indian Affairs. The undersigned believes that the qualifications for the position above mentioned are possessed in an eminent degree by Mr. Bryce in his report, M. D., at present and for a number of years past Secretary for the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario, and who has had large experience in connection with the public health of the province. ” (Signed) CLIFFORD SlFTON, Minister of the Interior and Superintendent General of Indian Affairs. All was well until Dr. Bryce came back with a scathing report from the field that demanded immediate action. At that point, Bryce became the enemy of both Scott and Liberal Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier. In 1907, he was sent out to conduct a special inspection of thirty-five Indian schools in the three prairie provinces, but the recommendations contained in the report were never published and the public, therefore, knows nothing of them. The Bryce report states that 24 percent, of all the pupils which had been in the schools were known to be dead, while of one school on the File Hills

since the school opened. A previous medical report from the schools was made by Dr. J.D. Lafferty who examining 243 children of 8 residential schools in Alberta. This was his report: (a) Tuberculosis was present equally in children at every age; (b) In no instance was a child awaiting admission to school found free from tuberculosis; hence it was plain that infection was got in the home primarily; (c) The disease showed an excessive mortality in the pupils between five and ten years of age; (d) The 10,000 children of school age demanded the same attention as the thousand children coming up each year and entering the schools annually. Despite these serious warnings, Scott blocked any mention of TB or other diseases at the 1910 National Tuberculosis Association, of which he was then president. A personal letter, written by Prof. George Adami, Pathologist of McGill University to the Minister dated March 16th, 1911, regarding the inaction of the Department with regard to the recommendations of Bryce and others. This letter refers to the many promises of Mr. D. C. Scott that the Department would immediately take steps to put the suggestions contained in the report into effect. The letter further says: “It is now over 9 months since these occurrences and I have not received a single communication

of Mr. D. C. Scott, growing cut of his success at manipulating the mental activities of Mr. Pedley, has led him to the fatal deception of supposing that his cleverness will be equal to that of Prospero (a character in Skakespeare) in calming any storm that may blow up from a Tuberculosis Association or any where else, since he knows that should he fail he has through memoranda on file placed the responsibility on Mr. Pedley and yourself. In this particular matter, he is counting upon the ignorance and indifference of the public to the fate of the Indians; but with the awakening of the health conscience of the people, we are now seeing on every hand, I feel certain that serious trouble will come out of departmental inertia, and I am not personally disposed to have any blame fall upon me.” On June 8th, 1920, the Indian Department’s Mr. Beland asks. “Is tuberculosis increasing or decreasing amongst the Indians?” To which the best news he could offer was, “Mr. Meighen, I am afraid I cannot give a very encouraging answer to the question. We are not convinced that it is increasing, but it is not decreasing.” With still no success in improving conditions, in 1921, a frustrated Dr. Bryce would publish his report independently, but unfortunately, no one was listening.

Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has just appointed their first “indigenous” person, as the Governor General of Canada. Under Trudeau’s Liberal leadership, Canada continues to make a mockery of the true purpose of reconciliation while pandering to the international community and the unknowing non-Indigenous Canadian public. Canadian history has been whitewashed or whitesplained with the genocide of the original peoples carefully crafted in a narrative that diminishes liability and accountability. For more than 500 years, First Nation Indigenous people, the original people have tried to balance this one-sided narrative with history from a First Nation point of view. This viewpoint has been discouraged and discounted by historians, politicians and regular “Joe” Canadians who will not listen to Indigenous truths. The recent finding of two hundred plus First Nation children found in a mass grave by Kamloops Residential School and the continued growing number of retrieved gravesites that span across this country, have put Canada in the hot seat over their historical treatment of the original peoples. Canada and the Liberal party are angry. They had convinced the Canadian public that their intentions and carefully worded

press releases, policies and statements were alleviating the “Indian problem.” Canadians believed that everything possible was being done to reconcile past legal agreements and outstanding First Nation Indigenous issues in a good way with the honour of the crown at stake. This public relations farce blew up in social media circles when it was revealed that the Kamloops school run by the Roman Catholic church was the same group that ran the St. Anne’s residential school in Ontario. At St. Anne’s residential school, Canada had knowledge of residential school wrongs but refused to give credibility to the St. Anne’s residential students with information or settlement. Instead, Trudeau’s Liberals, have been fighting the St. Anne’s residential school survivors in court to keep information hidden or to destroy information necessary to make the cases of the survivors. Why would a BC supreme court judge – Justice Brenda Brown issue a court order that allowed the federal government to start destroying person of interest reports that give information about abuse allegations? Is this really justice, or is this some kind of distorted, bastardized approach to protecting an institution? Will Trudeau and his Indigenous affairs minister Carolyn Bennett answer this question with more than platitudes and simpering sympathy?

Continued: Reconciliation continues to follow colonial paths original people. Canadians suddenly began to see the crimes against humanity that is written in the blood of the First Peoples of this land. Canadians suddenly began to feel shame and hypocrisy about the treatment of the original people of this land. What could Trudeau and his team of miscreants do to turn the tide back to Canada polishing their human rights mettle in the face of the international community? Trudeau began by releasing elevated budgets to help find the gravesites that were situated by every residential school using technological advances. Trudeau also stated his “abhorrence” with the terrible policies of the past, distancing himself and his government from the melee. If Trudeau was so concerned about the inhumane treatment that would resulted in a mass gravesite of children; why is he still fighting the St. Anne’s survivors in court? If Trudeau understands the First Nation Indigenous at all, would he not step back instead of running to kneel by gravesites asking for photo ops with Indian children but settling for pictures with teddy bears? Trudeau and his Liberal government keep demonstrating that their oppression, assimilation and termination goals continue but with smiles, special words, photo ops and a few well-placed Indigenous tokens speaking up for Trudeau and the gang. For what is the appointment of Mary Simon into the Governor General’s position but a token and empty gesture? The original people, the first people, the First Nation Indigenous people of this land began their relationship with Great Britain and Canada inherited this colony based on legal agreements between two nations. The First Nations numbering in at least 58 dialects and six hundred plus nations are the original owners or founders of this land. Canada was a foundling nation born out of necessity when Britain lost their foothold in America. As this country was formed, Canada had to keep peace with the covetous French who were also trying to claim this land as their own

domain. Therefore, is this appointment of Mary Simon a triumph for First Nation Indigenous people who began their five-hundred year battle with Great Britain, which was then followed by Canada which continues to this day? This appointment of May Simon may be a triumph for Indigenous

women who identify with a woman in a leadership capacity, but do the original people themselves understand the underlying political concepts that shroud Mary Simon’s appointment to this post? The governor general is the queen’s representative in Canada. Historic or original treaties that were

ILE S H W PLIE P SU AST! L

made between two nations including the peace and friendship treaties from the eastern door to the numbered treaties in western Canada have stated that they have international standing. Canada has continuously tried to domesticate this stand. Canada along with their band of token Indig-

enous voices have stated that Canada’s domestication of the United Nation’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is for our benefit. Never mind that the original grassroots voices were never consulted and certainly never consented to the elite Indigenous voices speaking for them.

The children who were brutalized by the Indian Residential School process are not resting. They speak from beyond the gravesites and they speak through the voices of their relatives who will not be placated by Trudeau’s jobs, ego stroking, money or hasty MOU’s and photo-ops.

With the increasing risk of the new, more contagious Delta variant that was first identified in India — health officials are getting even more strict about public health guidance and vaccine awareness. Ontario’s top doctor says the risk of getting COVID-19 is 6.4 times higher for unvaccinated people, which highlights the effectiveness of vaccines. Chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore says it is complicated work to tie individual cases to vaccination status, but he will try to update the public weekly with numbers showing the benefits of vaccines. Ontario reports new case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths daily, but does not provide the vaccination status of those people. Public Health Ontario releases biweekly reports that detail many of those numbers, but the totals are cumulative back to December, when very few people had received shots, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of recent cases. Family physician Dr. Jennifer Kwan looked at the numbers in the two most recent reports to calculate percentages of vaccinated and unvaccinated people that have been hospitalized or died in the previous month. She found that between June 12 and July 10, 95.8 per cent of COVID-19 deaths in Ontario were in unvaccinated people and 99.5 per cent of people admitted to intensive care due to the virus had not been vaccinated. Ontario reported 129 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and five more deaths. There were 37 new cases in Toronto, 22 in Peel Region and 12 in Hamilton. Those numbers are based on more than

13,600 tests completed over the previous day. There were 127 patients in intensive care due to COVID-related critical illness and 81 patients on ventilators. More than 92,000 doses of vaccines were administered in the previous day, for a total of more than

19.1 million. Meanwhile, Canada's largest airport is no longer splitting arriving international passengers into different customs lines based on their vaccination status. Toronto's Pearson International Airport announced last week it

may be sorting travellers arriving from the U.S. or other international locations into vaccinated and partially or non-vaccinated queues. But a spokesperson for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority said the practice has been discontinued as of Monday.

Beverly MacDonald said in a statement that the airport has determined separating vaccinated and partially or non-vaccinated travellers into different customs lines ``results in minimal operational efficiencies.'' She said entry requirements related to vaccina-

tion status will now be enforced once a passenger reaches a customs officer. Fully vaccinated Canadian citizens and permanent residents are now able to forgo a 14-day quarantine when arriving in Canada from abroad.

THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to complete the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements to the Highway 403/Wayne Gretzky Parkway interchange in the City of Brantford. The recommended plan for the interchange identifies work at both the north and south ramp terminal intersections with Wayne Gretzky Parkway, including the construction of dual left turn lanes on both the westbound and eastbound exit ramps and the construction of a right turn lane on the westbound exit ramp. Drainage improvements will also be undertaken, as required. Construction timing is subject to completion of the Class EA, funding, and approvals. Traffic staging during construction will be confirmed as the study progresses; however, temporary lane reductions on Wayne Gretzky Parkway and temporary closures of interchange ramps are anticipated to facilitate construction.

To all pharmacy patients,

THE PROCESS This study is following the approved planning process for a Group ‘C’ project in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Group ‘C’ projects are considered approved, subject to compliance with the Class EA.

A few weeks ago was my last day at the pharmacy here in Ohsweken. I have had the opportunity to tell many of you at the store that I will no longer be one of your pharmacists here but unfortunately, I know I wasn’t able to see all of you and speak to you personally. While it was definitely not my decision to leave, I wanted you to know why you will no longer be seeing me at the pharmacy. I want to express how much I have enjoyed being your pharmacist for the past 20 plus years. I appreciate the trust you have put in me as a dedicated member of your healthcare team and will miss helping you get and stay healthy. It was truly a privilege. Getting to know you, your families and the community is something I treasure and I hope I helped make a difference in your lives. Please take care of yourselves and I wish you all the best in health and success in the future. With appreciation, Albert

Family of woman killed in hotel says justice served, but killer to appeal conviction CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

EDMONTON — The daughter of an Indigenous woman who was killed in a hotel room a decade ago says a judge's decision to sentence her mother's killer to 12 1/2 years in prison is a sign of justice. But Cheyanne Gladue says the heartache from losing her mother, Cindy Gladue, will never go away. ``That will never change,'' Gladue's youngest daughter told media outside then Edmonton courthouse on Tuesday. ``We want to thank everyone who stood by us ... and just supported my mom and her journey.'' Court of Queen's Bench Justice Stephen Hillier said Ontario truck driver Bradley Barton will get credit for the days he has already spent in custody, so about 11 years remain in his sentence. A jury found Barton guilty in February of manslaughter in the death of Gladue, 36, a Metis and Cree woman who died in Room 139 at the Yellowhead Inn in June 2011. Medical experts testified the mother of three had four times the legal limit of alcohol in her system when Barton left her in a bathtub where she bled to death. Crown prosecutors argued that while Gladue was passed out, Barton performed a sexual act that caused a severe wound to her vagina and dumped her in the tub. A medical expert testified that had Gladue received immediate medical help, she may have lived. Barton's lawyer, Dino Bottos, told media after the sentencing decision that his client will be appealing his conviction within 30 days because ``there are strong grounds of appeal.'' Bottos said one of the major reasons for the appeal is evidence from Barton's laptop search history showing that nine days before Gladue was killed, Barton searched for graphic videos. ``To find as an aggravating factor that Mr. Barton knew he was going to harm Ms. Gladue based on his internet search history was unfair ... The Crown put in his search terms in the trial but didn't put it in what he would've actually found.''

Barton testified during his trial that he had arranged to pay Gladue for a night of ``rough sex'' and was shocked when he woke in the morning to find her dead. Crown prosecutors had recommended Barton be sentenced to between 18 and 20 years. The defence, saying the Crown did not

prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Barton intended to kill Gladue, had suggested no more than nine years. Hillier disagreed. The judge said in his decision that Barton ``either intended or was aware of the real risk of serious bodily harm, and was reckless in the face of that real risk.'' He said the recklessness

was obvious when Barton chose to leave Gladue in the tub the next morning and threw out a bloody towel and grabbed a coffee. Hillier added that he rejected what he called the self-serving stories Barton told at his trial to avoid responsibility for the aggressive sexual assault that killed Gladue. ``No words can capture

the tragedy and sorrow, particularly for the young family left suddenly without a mother,'' the judge said. Outside the courthouse, Gladue's mother echoed Hillier's message. ``I only wished Barton would've gotten medical help for her ? maybe she would've been here today,'' Donna McLeod said.

The family was finally able to bury Gladue last week in northern Alberta, she said. ``We took her home to Athabasca to be home with her grandparents,'' McLeod said. ``I'd like to thank everyone across Canada all over who supported us.'' It was the second trial for Barton.

SN Arrows are back in action with a four out of 22 OJLL game weekend STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

OAKVILLE — An exciting weekend provided lacrosse fans and players a semblance of normalcy: After a rougher administrative start this year, the Six Nations Arrows have been revamped and returned to the floor for the first time in two years over the past weekend. The team staff full of lacrosse talent, provided coaching for the teams first match up with the Burlington Chiefs on the blue pad in Oakville, last Saturday morning. They took part in four games out of 22 for the Ontario Junior Lacrosse League over the course of Saturday and Sunday. The team has been joined by President and Coach Cody Jamieson, Vice President and Coach Randy Staats, Head Coach Stewart Monture, General Manager Jason Johnson, Assistant General Manager Davey Robertson, Head of Player Development Delby Powless, Traner Dave Sowden, Equipment Manager Jimmer Smith and Media Coordinator Brennor Jacobs. The first of the four matches, brought them into a tussle with the Burlington Chiefs, who were Western finalists in the most recent bout for the qualifier for the Minto Cup. Eager to play, players on both ends were set to draw before their 3 minute warm up finished and in the first two minutes, both teams entered a fouron-four with one penalty

for each side. The excitement and nerves could be seen coming from both teams, but Chayton King opened the scoring with the righty offering an outside snipe. This was quickly answered by the Chiefs with an inside shot, short side. Another was provided as the Arrows were down one man by Scott Del Zotto for the Chiefs. But, with another penalty called on the Chiefs, a top left pass down to the right corner opened up for a one-time shot by Bo Bow-Hunter, burying behind the back of the Chiefs goalie. This was answered again by Sam English with his second for the Chiefs, closing the period out with a 3-2 deficit for the Arrows. Starting right back up

with a back and forth goal, King pushed the score to a 4-3 deficit after answering a goal from the Chiefs. This brought another goal for the Chiefs, but the Arrows were quickly given another penalty for a tripping call, putting them on the offensive. But the Chiefs were diligently pushing towards the net and scored short handed. In an answer, defensive player Matthew Miller buried on a break away from a long pass straight out of the crease. But another power player set the Chiefs up for an outside corner-picked goal. The Chiefs put another away, and the Arrows called a time out to show off their prowess with plays. But this ended the period with some roughing and three goals unanswered at 8-5 with the

Chiefs in the lead. Off of the opening draw won by the Arrows, King delivered his hat trick goal from the crease after the Chiefs took another pen-

alty. Then another penalty, opening for Arrows Kessler Skye to bury with a trick power play pass behind the back, behind the net. This brought out

another power play for the Chiefs, and a goal off of a three on one due to a scuffle in the other end. With under 7 seconds left, the Arrows called another time out and pulled their goalie, Troy Holowchuk, to load Bow-Hunter again on top. He buried from the outside bringing the game to a tie 9-9 with his sect goal. Unfortunately, mistakes on the board occurred early on with a penalty not being shown, and the OJALL issued and apology for an inaccurate final score posted. As for the remaining three games played: the Arrows took their first loss 3-11 to the Oakville Buzz on Saturday, then took two wins 9-7 versus the St. Catharines Athletics, and 10-9 versus the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves on Sunday. The games are streamed by JVI Video and provided on YouTube.

Some mild frustration at the end of the Arrows game after a board error did not reflect an accurate TRT score. OJALL issued an apology and later corrected the 9-9 tie.

An exciting return to the fields for the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Association this weekend, for the TRT first time in two years.

A well known referee, Neil Henhawk, took to the SNMLA Facebook Page to write: “Had a good day feel like a lot has been lifted of my mind and chest after seeing the kids having fun playing the game they all love I'd like to thank my reffing help today John Sibbick, Cubb McNaughton, Memphis McNaughton, Haydz Hill and Sauni Hill. You all did an awesome job and to the rest of the helpers from SNMLA big hugs to you all for an awesome job. Can’t wait for next week do it all over again. STICKS UP For Kameren Roons Powless and Vernon Henhawk felt you's out there today.” The #sticksup hashtag has been used in memory of Powless and Henhawk after a tragic car accident in 2020 — jerseys showing their SNMLA numbers were hung on the football goal post as the games were played.

The secretariat will facilitate gatherings of survivor and community statements, oversee research and document collection, and will report to survivors, leadership and the community. The secretariat will also establish commemoration policies and activities, as well as liaising with all levels of government to establish nation-to-nation leadership dialogue. “Time is of the essence,” said Chief Hill. “Survivors are saying to move now. We have not yet received any funding from the federal or provincial government to move this important work forward and in fact, even further to that, we have not received an official response from our prime minister of our letter dated May 31. In fact, our community was quite disheartened to learn that the prime minister was in Hamilton yesterday (July 20), less than 30 minutes from the Mohawk Institute and has yet to visit this place and has yet to visit our survivors and our community.” Six Nations Elected Council passed a motion to provide $1 million to the Survivor’s Secretariat to begin the investigation. “This is not a political process,” said Chief Hill. “This involves our entire community, led by our survivors. We are here to provide support and resources and we hope that all other community organizations will do the same. This is about recovering all of our children. This is a criminal investigation and our goal is to search for justice. Every child truly matters in this country. If this government is serious, then they will work with us to bring every one of those children home.”
