Shooting on Mohawk Road By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — One person was taken to hospital after suffering serious injuries due to a shooting on Mohawk Road last Thursday. Six Nations Police and the OPP are working together to investigate the targeted daylight shooting. The OPP said a person was found inside a home on Mohawk Road between Third and Fourth Line Road on Thursday afternoon. The suspect is still at large. “While there is not believed to be a threat to public safety, members of the public should be aware of their personal safety at all times,” the OPP said in a

press release. Police had the road blocked off Thursday while they investigated the shooting. Details on the shooting are scarce. OPP Media Relations Officer Derek Rogers said they cannot comment further “as it’s an ongoing investigation” and Six Nations Police did not return calls or emails seeking more information. There is no known motive for the shooting and the victim’s identity or current condition has not been released. Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers or Six Nations Police at 519-4452811.

Delta variant spreading rapidly on Six Nations, no word from council on vaccine passports STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — The Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus has been identified on Six Nations, and is spreading rapidly. The latest data reported on Tuesday said 13 the 36 active COVID-19 cases were confirmed to be the Delta variant. A staggering 122 people are now in self-isolation. One person is in hospital. TRT requested additional information from Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council about the new cases, including if any of those are confirmed to be breakthrough infections in residents who have been vaccinated. As of press time there was no response to those questions. Elected Council has met to discuss the implications of the Delta variant on Six Nations and will be re-evaluating the community’s colour-coded COVID alert level this week, said SNGR communications officer Katie Montour. After a relatively COVID-free summer, as of Tuesday evening Six Nations was still in alert level green, the lowest alert level in the system

with the least amount of restrictions. This despite the community having 211 cases per 100,000 — a rate that is eight times the infection rate of Toronto Public Health and nearly seven times the infection rate of Brantford-Brant. To date, eleven Six Nations residents have died of COVID-19 since the World Health Organization declared the pandemic in March 2020. The black alert level is the highest alert level, with almost every business or building closed down on the reserve but essential services, but it is still unclear if SNGR will change the alert level to match the current outbreak and why a shift to increase the alert level has not happened despite the local infection rate topping the provincial data. The Delta variant is the dominant strain currently circulating the globe, and is the driving force behind the current “fourth wave” of COVID infections worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control. SNGR confirmed the six cases of Delta on Aug. 31, and 18 active cases of COVID-19 on Sept. 1. A total of 27 new cases have been confirmed in the last seven days.

SNGR says the Delta variant, “is more contagious than previous variants of the virus and can cause more severe illness and hospitalization, specifically in those who are unvaccinated.” According to the Six Nations COVID-19 website vaccination rates are much lower than the provincial rate. Just 42% have reported getting at least one vaccine and 38% have reported getting both vaccines. In Ontario nearly 74% of residents have received at least one dose and nearly 68% are fully vaccinated. However it is unclear if the Six Nations vaccination data is reflecting band membership or Six Nations residents that are vaccinated. SNGR previously put out a call for band members, regardless of residency, to report their vaccination status to Ohsweken Public Health. TRT sought clarification on local vaccination rates of residents compared to band membership and did not receive a response by press time. Meanwhile, the province has taken action to implement vaccine certifications that will allow residents who are fully vaccinated to participate in public life and prohibit non-vaccinated persons

from specific settings. TRT also sought clarification from SNGR if the provincial passports will be in effect on the territory, how and if SNGR will implement vaccine passports in the community. There was no response to those questions by press time. Six Nations students just returned to school yesterday for the first time since the pandemic was declared in March 2020, resulting in community-wide shut downs of businesses and organizations. Since then, Six Nations schools have instituted extensive COVID-19 safety and prevention measures, mainly, staggered class sizes, with students alternating days to reduce the number of kids in class to allow for physical distancing. In the meantime, SNGR is encouraging community to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and is urging anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms to get tested. Six Nations Public Health says the recent spike in cases is a result of people “letting their guard down at a time when we must remain diligent in following public health measures in order to decrease incidence.”

Centre for adult education helps to improve literacy at Six Nations International Literacy Day is September 8 -- celebrated to mark the importance of literacy worldwide JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

For most people, tasks like reading, writing, or turning on a computer may seem simple, but for others, reading and using technology can be intimidating, embarrassing, and challenging. Staff at the Six Nations Achievement Centre are doing what they can to help community members become more literate and confident. “For me, literacy is not just about reading and writing,” said Nancy Gallo, educator and co-ordinator at the Achievement Centre. “Yes it does mean being able to read something; however, literacy is also how to turn on your computer, connect to the internet, or how to write and send an email. It encompasses other areas such as how to create a monthly budget, how to manage money, it’s about how to navigate through life.” The Six Nations Achievement Centre is located within Six Nations Polytechnic and provides free instruction to adults who need to increase their independence or academic skills for entry

into higher levels of education or to obtain employment. September 8 is International Literacy Day and this year’s theme is, “Literacy for a human-centred recovery: Narrowing the digital divide.” “Literacy is not just about teaching hard skills like English and Math. It’s also about what people might need on a daily basis that might apply to running something like a small Indigenous-owned business, time management, how to study. Those kinds of soft skills are important too, said Gallo. “Being literate on Indigenous knowledge is important too; knowledge, sustainability, food, spirituality.” Since 1967, celebrations have taken place annually around the world to remind people of the importance of literacy. Despite progress made, literacy challenges persist with at least 773 million young people and adults lacking basic literacy skills today. “We focus on a lot of essential skills and how those skills are used every day,” said Angel Skye, literacy assistant at the centre. “Not just teaching math but showing where we use it and why we

need it, like at the grocery store for example. Also, tasks like taking and leaving messages on your phone can be intimidating. Video recording, turning on your computer’s camera for a job interview, how to read medications, that’s what we strive to teach in a safe, judgment-free and comfortable environment.” Skye said a lot of times parents come to the centre who just want to be able to show their children that they’re growing and learning. “They might want to say, ‘look, your mom just did this,’ or, ‘look your dad can still do this too.’ It’s hard to tell your child to get up and go to school when you haven’t your-

self. We see a lot of that. People who want to better themselves for their children and there’s nothing wrong with that.” Skye and Gallo both agree that that’s nothing wrong with any reason for wanting to focus on your literacy and education. “The world revolves around literacy today,” said Gallo, “We connect via technology, and if someone can’t chat online or post on social media, or watch what's happening in parts of the world, then the world remains relatively closed to them. Even when it comes to growing your Indigenous circles, if you wanted to go to a conference in Hawaii to connect with other Indigenous people; register-

ing, booking your ticket, budgeting for the trip—all that wouldn’t be open to you if you don’t know how to do it on your own.” The Achievement Centre, like Six Nations Polytechnic, is rooted in the values of Ga’nigohi:yo/Kanikoriio. “Almost everything we do, we try to have sensitivity to the culture were in,” said Gallo. Staff at the Achievement centre is aware of the many barriers those living on reserve may experience as opposed to those living off-reserve. “Fear is always the biggest barrier for everyone, even those who are literate. Fear holds us back,” said Skye. “You can only imagine the fear someone might feel when they are ordering from a menu but don’t know how to read it. The anxiety that would bring. But also it comes down to things like transportation, or childcare, or lack of Wi-Fi, or being busy because you’re taking care of your elderly parents. I know on reserve it’s more difficult to find the time but we do have some resources available that may make a difference.” The centre does have some funding to help with things like childcare or

transportation. And if you are a part of the program you can use private rooms or workstations and their internet connection. “Come use our connection. We’re flexible,” said Gallo. “We can hold online meetings with students too.” Sometimes the hardest part is getting people in the door if they don’t want to, or are too nervous. “That’s the hardest part, we can’t get you in the door if you aren’t ready,” said Skye. “But no one should be embarrassed for any reason, especially their age. We have areas inside that are private so you can work on your own if you prefer. For me, learning is lifelong. We learn as long as we are alive. For someone who is a little nervous, once they start to see even a little bit of progress, then they get motivated to go further.” On September 8, celebrate International Literacy Day by telling someone you know about the Achievement Centre and how it can help them.

Ontario's top doc weighs in on controversial acting medical officer appointee STAFF REPORT

TORONTO — Ontario’s top doctor said he can take action if it appears public measures in Haldimand-Norfolk aren't sufficient to protect residents from COVID-19 under the region's newly appointed interim medical officer of health. Dr. Kieran Moore was asked to comment Tuesday on the appointment of Dr. Matt Strauss, whose opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns has stirred controversy and prompted the Ontario Liberals to call for the province to veto his

selection. Moore repeated that the Haldimand-Norfolk Board of Health did not need his approval or that of the Ministry of Health in order to hire Strauss for an interim position. But he said it is his duty as Ontario's chief medical officer of health to monitor the situation in all health units. ``If and when this individual is hired...if it is my professional opinion that the population is not being protected to the utmost through public health measures, I do have actions that I can take under the Health Protection and Promotion Act to ensure that all citizens in Haldimand-Nor-

folk are protected against COVID-19,'' he said. Moore added the region has struggled to find a full-time medical officer of health. ``We're very willing to continue to work with them to try to recruit someone who has the cre-

dentials required... and to provide guidance to them,'' he said. Strauss's appointment was announced Friday. An assistant professor of medicine at Queen's University, Strauss has tweeted on multiple occasions that he opposes lockdowns,

saying they aren't effective in preventing deaths from COVID-19. He has also lauded business owners who flout public health orders by opening their doors, calling them ``heroes.'' Ontario reported 1,145 new cases of COVID-19 and five new deaths over two days, including the Labour Day holiday. On Tuesday, the province logged 564 new infections for the previous day -- 434 of them people who are not fully vaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown -- and three deaths. Provincial data showed there were 581 new cases on Sunday, including 457

in people who have not received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine or whose vaccination status isn't known. There were also two deaths related to the virus on Sunday. Health Minister Christine Elliott said nearly 84 per cent of Ontarians 12 years or older have received one dose of a COVID-19 shot, and slightly more than 77 per cent have received two doses. The province said 295 COVID-19 patients were in hospital, and 192 people were in intensive care due to the virus. It noted, however, that not all hospitals report on weekends and holidays.

It's difficult to trust the Canadian medical industry after what happened to our people in residential school. As an intergenerational survivor I know a thing or two about distrust of institutions. My mother Eleanor Garlow (Esquimaux) spent 12 years in a child prison called Shingwauk Residential School and because of her traumatic experiences I was never taken to a hospital as a child, not even once. I suffered many types of injuries as all children do but even with a 105 degree fever once I had to "tough it out" and have a bath with ice cubes instead of heading over to the Brantford General. My mom was afraid they would keep me forever. So it makes sense to me when I read the statistics showing "us guys" are refusing to get the vaccine. When I decided to get vaccinated, I also made a decision to not be afraid of science anymore because it is a global community made up of every ethnicity and background. I've had no side effects but maybe I'm a lucky one.

Neglect caused drowning deaths of 7 students at Moose Factory Residential School JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MOOSE FACTORY Deaths of indigenous students under the care of the Church and the Indian Affairs Departments were a reality throughout the residential school era. There were official forms that were to be filled out by the principal of the school on such occurrences. Some were and some were not. The archives of the Indian Affairs Department contain several examples although the number of reports. This number versus the actual deaths at these schools across the country, do not jive, meaning details surrounding many more deaths and disposal of the bodies of students while attending these schools are left to speculation. The startling lack of medical attention many these sick students received, even when records were kept, may explain at least part of the national student death toll at Indian Residential Schools. Other deaths can be directly attributed to neglect. One such report involves Reverent Haythornwaite, Rector of the Moose Factory Residential School. The following report was filed to Duncan Campbell Scott from the district manager of Indian Schools. The report was dated September 19, 1919. “I regret to have to report a very serious

drowning incident in this district. It occurred on July 29th, at Moose Factory. It appears that twelve of the school children from the church of England Mission of which The Rev Haythornwaite is in charge, were allowed to crowd into an old canoe, for the purpose of crossing to an island to pick berries. It was high tide with quite a big sea running. Then, at about mid-channel, the canoe capsized and seven out of twelve children were drowned. The remaining five were saved by an Indian named Archie Sailer who, in a small canoe, managed to pick them up. The head of the servants at the school sent out his entire staff with all canoes available, to search for the bodies and by 1 a.m. on the 30th, the seven bodies were recovered. Two of the boys drowned were sons of one of our servants.” To deflect criticism, one

of the children, John Carpenter, was given great honour for saving the life of another student during that horrible incident with an award sponsored by the Royal Humane Association. According to the accompanying document, the medal was given for unusual bravery. Years later, in August of 1921, Reverend Haythornwaite, ended his own life with a gun, as reported in the Cochrane Morning Citizen. After breaking his shoulder while moving a piano, Rev Haythornwaite could not get to the nearest hospital and was left untreated for weeks. The closest hospital was 180 miles away in Cochrane and he was in too much pain to travel. He was also diagnosed as having the early signs of Dementia. There were a few Indigenous medicine men treating him and caring for him, but the pain was too much to bear, and the Reverend escaped from their constant care long enough to find and use his private pistol to end the agony. Although there is no direct evidence of it, it is very likely that under the extreme pain, he also added his deep-seated remorse about the drowning of the children under his care years earlier. Those listed as drowned on that day were Alfred Louttit, 16; his brother Tom, 15; twin brothers Jimmy and Arthur Sutherland, 15; John Sailors, 11; Roderrick Wascowin, 9, and Sinclair Napanee, also 9.

Untreated tuberculosis and meningitis took the lives of students at Catholic run residential school in Kenora JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA - Although there may be evidence pointing to the direct involvement of residential school priests, principals or other staff in the death of Residential Schools over the years, the majority of the paperwork filed to Indian Affairs is for accidental, “misadventure,” or sickness related deaths. Many times, however, some of these sickness related deaths could have been avoided with better medical attention administered by the nuns and priests at the schools. In the National Archives at Ottawa, are hundreds of letters of correspondence between school administrations and the Department of Indian Affairs, under its many changing names. One such case involves young John Jack, student number 220 at the Kenora Catholic-run residential school, in 1938. As in most cases, an inquiry was conducted into the student’s death, which consisted of the department having the school nurse or principal filling out a standard form. In most cases, that was all that was required, so calling it an investigation was cursory at best. In the case of John Jack, the two-page report stated that at 7 pm, on January 2, Jack reported not feeling well to the nurse. He was given a tea-

spoon of Epsom salt and an aspirin and then put to bed in his dorm. The doctor was called at 2 p.m. the next day and shortly after that call, Jack was taken, by sleigh, to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Kenora, where he died after falling into a coma, shortly thereafter. In this case, they were able to contact the parents to inform them of their child’s death. They lived 100-miles away. The cause of young Jack’s death was listed as Influenza. Michael Charley Macheegabow, Student number 199, died the previous year on January 1, 1937, of what is listed as Meningitis, after being sent to Kenora Hospital with a temperature of 104. It is assumed the transport to the hospital was also made by sleigh. He arrived in a comatose condition and never recovered. Then there was the sudden death of another boy after being taken to

the Kenora Hospital with Sleeping-Sickness. There was no name on this form. At the same school on January 10, 1938, an orphan student, Nancy Keewatin, died at the St. Josephs Hospital in Kenora of Tuberculosis. A memo in her file instructs the school to send T.B infected students to the nearest sanitarium as soon as possible. Student number 0273, Rosaline Bird of the Whitefish Bay Band, died at the Kenora hospital following being transported there on June 26th, 1941. Bird complained to the school nurse of not feeling well at 10 a.m. June 1st. She was sent to bed with a teaspoon of oil and the doctor called. She was transferred to the hospital by car the same day. She was treated and sent back to the school but was sent back to the hospital days later. She was finally diagnosed as having Meningitis, a highly infectious disease. The child was buried at the Kenora, RC Residential School burial ground. Finding these reports isn’t easy. They are filed along with day-to-day purchase orders and quotes for work being done around each school and other non-important pages. But if interested in starting your own inquiry, stay patient and sift through these papers, primarily in government file RG 10.

Suicide & Mental Illness The majority of people who live with a mental illness do not attempt nor die by suicide. Some estimated facts: 85%-98% of people diagnosed with depression do not die by suicide. 80%-97% of people diagnosed with bipolar illness do not die by suicide. 85%-94% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia do not die by suicide. Risk for death by suicide is increased if a person suffers from depression alongside schizophrenia, bipolar illness, substance abuse, anxiety disorders. Those who struggle with a diagnosed personality disorder can be up to 3x more likely to die by suicide than those without and, risk is increased if they also struggle with a substance abuse disorder. It is important to get treatment for a mental illness. Source: Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention

Canada's next government should shift from reconciliation to decolonization By Liam Midzain-Gobin, Assistant Professor, Political Science, Brock University The federal government released the 2021 National Action Plan: Ending Violence Against Indigenous Women, Girls, And 2SLGBTQQIA+ People on June 3, 2021. The plan came two years after the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) released its final report, Reclaiming Power and Place. The plan's release was somewhat rocky, coming days after the Native Women's Association of Canada called the process of developing the plan ``toxic and dysfunctional.'' Concerns were also consistently raised about how slow the process was. Even though the MMIWG final report's first Call for Justice was that the government must develop an action plan within one

year, the federal government didn't do it. In that time it only put together a core working group. And while the 2021 National Action Plan outlined steps, it was only accompanied by the federal pathway _ an aspirational document that doesn't include more concrete funding - and implementation plans are seemingly still underway. Instead of this problem being an unlucky one-off, the development of the 2021 National Action Plan points to a long-term trend in policy and engagement with Indigenous people. Namely that governments slow down implementing even the most basic or straightforward policy. As we begin to dig through the platforms of each major party in advance of the Sept. 20 election, we should also demand accountability for how quickly (or slowly) they are willing to move. A slow approach to reconciliation Humanities and envi-

ronment scholar Rob Nixon has used the concept of ``slow violence'' to describe how deadly harms can accumulate and have their impacts felt over years or decades rather than all at once. Nixon used the idea to describe the lethal danger of environmental degradation, but it is also important to consider slow violence in relation to settler colonialism. Not only do the harms of settler colonialism accumulate over lifetimes and generations, but the slow pace of change offers its own type of settler violence. The issue of unsafe drinking water in many Indigenous communities is a prime example of slow violence. Despite committing to ending all long-term boil water advisories on First Nations reserves within five years, last December the Liberal government admitted that it is years from meeting its target. Since taking office in November

OGWADENI:DEO Taking Care Of Our Own

2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has lifted 109 advisories. As of Sept. 6, 51 advisories remain in place. Indigenous Services Canada remains publicly committed to ending all long-term advisories, but offers no specific timeline. This is a policy failure by the government, emblematic of the type of slow violence Nixon describes. The effects of unsafe drinking water accumulate over years, and intersect with other failures such as inadequate nutritional support, and the underfunding of Indigenous child welfare and education, producing the health crises we see in Indigenous communities. Each of these issues are ones that this, and previous governments, have promised and implemented policy to fix, but remain unresolved. This is because of the Canadian government's structural need for Indigenous dispossession _ the stripping of land, natural resources and rights. Government power and authority exist because of stolen land and ongoing denials of Indigenous Peo-

ples' self-determination. Regardless of how often Trudeau calls for ``sunny ways'' or claims progress on reconciliation, these long-term issues continue to be avoided and put on the backburner. Not only a Liberal failure These long-term issues should remind us that this is not only a Liberal failure. We entered this election campaign on the heels of widespread public grief over the findings of unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools. It is amid this backdrop that we finally see federal parties stepping up and promising to fulfil their responsibilities on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) Call to Action 75 by funding the searches for more children. Making this promise now overlooks the way residential schools not only were supported by various governments, but that each party has had a role in shaping the Indigenous child welfare system using the same logics and intentions. As political scientist David MacDonald writes,

``Politics is about power _ who has it, who doesn't and what it enables people to do.'' For too long the power Canadian governments have wielded has been focused on ensuring slow violence against Indigenous nations continue, while also slowing change. We need Indigenous self-determination So far, little attention has been paid to Indigenous issues this federal election _ with the exception of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh _ aside from promises to fund further studies into unmarked graves. These are important, but as Globe and Mail columnist Tanya Talaga notes, this isn't nearly enough. Since the TRC's final report came out, the past six years have shown us what promises have amounted to: 13 of 94 completed Calls to Action. As political scientist Matthew Wildcat has made clear, there is a healthy skepticism of ``reconciliation'' among many Indigenous people across Canada. The glacial pace of meaningful change by politicians contributes to this.

Goodbye Columbus The Canadian Press MEXICO CITY — Christopher Columbus is getting kicked off Mexico City's most iconic boulevard. Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the Columbus statue on the Paseo de la Reforma, often a focal point for Indigenous rights protests, would be replaced by a statue honoring Indigenous women. ``To them we owe ... the history of our country, of our fatherland,'' she said. She made the announcement on Sunday, which was International Day of the Indigenous Woman. The Columbus statue,

donated to the city many years ago, was a significant reference point on the 10-lane boulevard, and surrounding traffic circle is — so far — named for it. That made it a favorite target of spray-paintwielding protesters denouncing the European suppression of Mexico's Indigenous civilizations. It was removed last year supposedly for restoration, shortly before Oct. 12, which Americans know as Columbus Day but Mexicans call ``Dia de la Raza,'' or ``Day of the Race'' — the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492.

DNA analysis of grizzly bears aligns with Indigenous languages By Lauren H. Henson, PhD Student, Applied Conservation Science, University of Victoria and Jennifer Walkus, Council, Wuikinuxv First Nation Along the central coast of what is now known as British Columbia, Gitga'at, Hai?zaqv (Heiltsuk), Wuikinuxv, Nuxalk, and Kitasoo/Xai'xais First Nations are monitoring and managing wildlife populations, continuing a legacy of stewardship of this landscape since time immemorial. Stewardship often represents an exten-

sion of long-term relationships with ecosystems and animals, including iconic species like mountain goats, salmon and grizzly bears. A long-term bear monitoring collaboration between five central coast First Nations, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the University of Victoria has described a new connection in the long-known relationship between people, bears and the land. On the central coast, genetic analyses have identified three genetic groups of grizzly bears _ bears are

more likely to be related to other bears within their own group than to bears in another group.

Link to language Often, the presence of distinct genetic groups can mean that a landscape barrier is preventing animals from moving and mating. This research partnership tested traditional landscape features that had been found to prevent bears from freely moving in other areas, including landscape ruggedness, large waterways, snow and ice, and the presence of human settlements and infrastructure. Knowing that the central coast looked very different prior to the disease and violence-mediated genocide that came with colonization, and that genetic methods can sometimes reflect longer timescales, we also incorporated archeological indicators of where people lived in the past. Despite dense settlement and use of the coast by people in the past, the rugged landscape and large waterways, none of these features explained the pattern of grizzly genetic groups. However, the geographies of these three genetic groups strikingly align with those of three Indigenous language families: Tsimshian, Northern Wakashan and Salishan Nuxalk. This finding was not a complete surprise to Indigenous collaborators, co-authors, and communities. Bears and people have shared resources and watersheds for millennia, emphasizing the potential for both to respond to and be shaped by the landscape in similar ways. This overlap additionally suggests that the pattern of genetic grouping may be more linked to what the landscape can provide in resources than what it can limit in resistance. Knowledge sharing between bears and people Elders pass on stories about people watching and learning from bears as they eat many of the same things and are also omnivores. Bears and people both learn from their ancestors what to eat and where. In some places, bears stay close to the home range and territory of their mothers

just as Indigenous families traditionally have rights to manage a specific part of a river or watershed. These familial links to territories and sharing of knowledge suggest not only a parallel in resource use, but also a cultural equivalency between bears and people. These findings also have management implications. The geographies of the three grizzly genetic groups do not spatially align with how grizzlies are currently managed by the provincial government. One genetic group is split in half by a current management boundary, meaning that that two halves of the same group could be managed differently. Incorporating genetic evidence into management plans can provide important information about population health and the ability of groups of animals to adapt to changes or stressors in their environment. The findings of genetic grouping despite traditional barriers to mating, and the striking overlap between groups and Indigenous language families highlights the close relationship between bears and people. This overlap also emphasizes the need for local and Indigenous-led monitoring and management of grizzlies. Traditional knowledge and conservation Central coast First Nations are effectively pairing local and traditional ecological knowledge with western science to change policy. While this study focused primarily on grizzly bears, Indigenous-led stewardship considers the whole ecosystem, with the collaborative bear monitoring group also focusing on salmon as a species inextricably linked to people and bears. One of the primary goals of this long-term monitoring collaboration is to ensure that salmon populations are healthy and there is always enough fish for bears and people. The work described here represents a small piece of a long history and future of Indigenous stewardship of important species and places, and the relationships among them.

Some Provinces to recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — Manitoba and Nova Scotia are joining two other jurisdictions in recognizing a new federal statutory holiday to contemplate the history and harmful legacy of residential schools. Indigenous Reconciliation Minister Alan Lagimodiere announced Friday that Manitoba will observe the National Day for Truth and Reconcilia-

tion on Sept. 30. ``We all have a role to play in reconciliation,'' Lagimodiere said in a news release. ``We can all listen, learn and support the healing needed to address the intergenerational trauma caused by the residential school system.'' Schools will be closed and no classes will be held on Sept. 30. Public servants will also observe the day and non-essential government services and offices will be closed. Flags on all provincial gov-

ernment buildings are to be lowered to half-mast. The House of Commons unanimously supported legislation in June giving the statutory holiday to all federal employees and workers in federally regulated workplaces. Cindy Woodhouse, the Assembly of First Nations regional chief for Manitoba, said there's no excuse for a province not to follow the federal government's move. ``We cannot have reconciliation without truth and we cannot have truth

without accountability,'' she said in an interview. Woodhouse encourages all Canadians to familiarize themselves with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 calls to action, which included creation of a national holiday. Nova Scotia also said Friday that it will recognize the day. Provincial government offices, public schools and regulated child care will be closed, although businesses will have the choice to remain open.

British Columbia and the Northwest Territories have already indicated they will observe the day. B.C. said last month that it had advised provincial public-sector employers to mark the day and recognize obligations in a vast majority of collective agreements. The province said many public services will remain open, but may be operating at reduced levels. Most schools, post-secondary institutions, some health-sector workplaces and Crown corporations

are to be closed. In the N.W.T., the day is to be observed annually by territorial government employees, including public servants and teachers. Most other provinces and territories told The Canadian Press they have no plans to make the day a statutory holiday, instead encouraging employees to reflect and commemorate in their own way. Alberta told CTV Edmonton it won't legislate the holiday, but that provincial government flags will be lowered.

VICTORIA — There will be more provincial conservation officers and Tahltan guardians patrolling the nation's territory in northwestern British Columbia this hunting season. The province and the Tahltan Central Government say in a joint statement they're working together on wildlife stewardship and furthering their commitments to reconciliation. They say the hunting season last year was ``contentious'' and the joint efforts are aimed at supporting the nation's work to improve wildlife populations, food security and community safety, while ensuring access for licensed hunters. They say both governments hope a unified approach that's respectful of Tahltan cultural practices will support a better experience for all hunters, both visitors and Tahltan. Asked about last year's hunting season, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and

Natural Resource Operations said the Tahltan Nation was concerned that visitors to the territory were putting community safety at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ministry says the hunting season saw acts of vandalism and ``heated exchanges'' between Tahltan guardians and some visitors to the territory. In a 2020 fish and wildlife report by the Tahltan Central Government, wildlife director Lance Nagwan says barriers set up at major highway access points in order to deter the expected influx of hunters during the pandemic led to animosity. ``The animosity created by this decision was evident over the field season as we continued to push back non-Tahltan hunters who felt it is their right to harvest,'' he wrote. ``A few people felt it was time to take matters into their own hands, which was evident with the cutting and theft of our COVID-19 signs and gates, and vandalism of parked vehicles.''

Gold given to three Indigenous players at IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championships STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY — On August 31, Team Canada claimed its first women’s world hockey championship in almost a decade after scoring the overtime winner in a 3-2 victory over the United States. The Canadians won gold nine years after their last time atop the podium in 2012, and after not reaching the final for the first time in the history of the tournament in 2019. This gave Jocelyne Laroque and Jamie Lee Rattray of both Métis descent, and Victoria Bach of Mohawk descent, IIHF WWHC gold to add to their lists of accomplishments. The U.S had won five world titles in a row and eight of the previous nine. The goal for the 3-on3 overtime was initially waved off by an on-ice official, but the Canadians were soon piling on top of each other in celebration. Rattray scored for Canada and defender Larocque had two assists. Canada and the U.S. required extra time to decide the world champion for the fifth time in their last seven clashes for the gold medal. The U.S. led 2-0 after the opening period on two goals, but the hosts drew even in the second. The Canadians didn’t reach the final for the first time in the history of the women’s championship in 2019, when they lost 4-2 to host Finland in a semifinal in Espoo. The COVID-19 pandemic

stifling international women’s hockey meant a long wait for another chance at gold. The 2020 women’s championship in Halifax and Truro, N.S., was cancelled. Those communities were awarded the tournament again in 2021. After a postponement from April to May, Nova Scotia’s premier at the time pulled the plug on the tournament the day teams were departing for the province. Meanwhile, the men’s under-18 championship in Texas in April, and the men’s world championship in Latvia in May were completed. Hockey Canada relocated and rescheduled the women’s championship to Calgary in August less than six months out from the Olympics. Hockey Canada didn’t sell tickets in Calgary. Only family members were allowed into a dedicated section of WinSport’s Markin MacPhail Centre. Players, team personnel and officials were tested for COVID-19 before arrival, during a five-day quarantine before the tournament and during the event. They were confined to

the tournament hotel and the arena, and travelled by bus between the two sites. There were no positive tests for the coronavirus in over 3,000 conducted, and all teams will be able to travel Wednesday, the International Ice Hockey Federation said Tuesday. Finland beat Switzerland for the bronze medal earlier on Tuesday. Canada, the U.S., Finland, Switzerland, Russia, Japan and host China have berths in the 10-country Olympic women’s hockey field. The remaining three spots will be filled via Olympic qualifying tournaments in November. The IIHF is expected to approve in September the addition of the women’s championship to Olympic years starting in 2022 in August. A host city has yet to be named. The women’s tournament would revert back to spring in non-Olympic years. The IIHF is also expected to expand women’s rosters to 25, including three goaltenders, to match the men’s rosters at future world championships.

INL Womens Team wins gold at PALA Sixes Cup By TRT Staff with notes from usalaxmagazine. com FLORIDA —Panama was recognized as World Lacrosse’s 66th member national governing body on April 22, 2020. Over this past weekend, the 2021 PALA Sixes Cup, an event in Auburndale, Fla., featuring 10 teams from seven Pan American countries, hosted both a men’s and women’s tournament. The tournament showcasing World Lacrosse’s new Sixes discipline and setting the stage for what PALA president Katherine Loh hopes will be an annual competition. “As a federation, we’re hoping to add this as our marquee competition,” Loh said Wednesday. “That’s why we’re branding it as the PALA

zee Miller, Ewehegwahs Williams, Cassandra ‘Bean’ Minerd, Beretta Santana, and Jean Haring. The Head coach position was filled by Elizabeth Beville, with Assistant Coaches Naomi Walter and Joseph Manna under General Manager Shaniece Mohawk. ‘Sixes,’ is a 6-on-6 discipline with a shorter

field and fast-paced play and allows for countries like Panama that are new to international lacrosse to find equal footing with nations that have established lacrosse traditions. Smaller rosters of just 12 players means significantly reduced costs. World Lacrosse will also host two coaching devel-

opment clinics while teams are in Auburndale this weekend. “It takes so much to mobilize a national team, so when they are here, we want them to maximize the investment they’ve put in. It’s not just playing. We’re going to connect you with resources.”

Celebration of Nations launches virtual and in-person events for fifth year run STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

NIAGARA REGION — Celebration of Nations, the Niagara region’s highly regarded gathering of Indigenous Arts, Culture and Tradition has announced the full schedule for its hybrid edition of in-person programming at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre as well as virtual offerings from September 10-12. "Since COVID-19 emerged, it has become even more clear how important community and the arts are to maintaining healthy minds and hearts," said Artistic Director Michele-Elise Burnett. "Artists are often at the forefront of speaking truth to power while also providing purpose for humans to gather to fulfill our ancient and ingrained need for connection. I am thrilled that we are able to provide this hybrid edition to once again bring community together to learn, share and reflect on the deep wisdom of Indigenous cultures.” Tickets are on sale now for two in-person concert experiences in Partridge Hall, a first for the PAC since last fall. Kicking it off is Friday’s concert event TREATY: A Reconciliation Revelry, a new creation by Celebration of Nations Artistic Producer Tim Johnson that features an ensemble of renowned and award-winning Indigenous and allied musicians coupled with filmed reflections on reconciliation and the Indigenous experience. “The program’s stories and messages, conveyed through video, narrative and music are situated in the realm of contemporary issues and events, but that provide audiences with historical context for understanding Indigenous experiences and Indigenous realities today,” said Artistic Producer Tim Johnson. “Brief film segments featuring Indigenous and

This is the fifth year the Celebration of Nations will be showcasing Indigenous Art, Culture and Entertainment in the Niagara Region. The event has been modified to comply with COVID precautions and will be a combination of in-person and virtual events starting September 10. CELEBRATION OF NATIONS

Canadian leaders in civil society, education, culture and the arts speak to the themes, thereby building a story that seeks to pave the way forward for Truth and Reconciliation.” Saturday’s concert experience features an evening with prominent Indigenous singer/songwriters Amanda Rheaume and Logan Staats. The 2021 workshop series offers hands-on opportunities to learn from skilled, Indigenous artists and Knowledge Keepers. In partnership with 101 Deweguns Living Hearts Legacy, four sanding workshops will take place over the weekend as part of this longer-term project with the vision of healthy and continuous reconciliation. Additional workshops include: Dressing Talking Sticks Jackie Labonte and Oliver Nobosin; Medicine Wheel Bracelets with April Mitchell-Boudreau; Creating a Sculpture from the Land led by Soaring Eagles Secondary Program Graduate Students; Nokomis 215+ Moccasin Project Workshop with Shannon Cotter; and a virtual workshop offering of Wiigwaas (Birchbark) Beaded Earrings with Nikki Shawana. Throughout the weekend, safe and free activities have been planned in the backyard of the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre, where a Sacred Fire will

also burn, officiated by Indigenous Elders with Sunrise Ceremonies each day, and cared for by faithful Firekeepers Fred Bowering and Brian Kon. Highlights include a very special, free, not-tobe-missed presentation of Cris Derksen’s Orchestral Powwow featuring Chippewa Travellers and members of the Niagara Symphony Orchestra on Saturday 11 September at 4pm. And among still many other programs, Victoria Poet Laureate Janet Marie Rogers returns to curate and perform the Empathic Poetry Café live in the backyard with a group of creative and expressive Indigenous writers at 6pm that evening. Saturday's program will be hosted by One Dish, One Mic, the popular radio show that explores Indigenous issues from CKTB 610 AM. Celebration of Nations is an opportunity for local, national, and international visitors to actively participate in an inclusive and engaging community gathering that fosters a greater sense of belonging, support of meaningful reconciliation, and that engenders a lasting legacy of goodwill. The 2020 virtual edition attracted more than 36,000 viewers from across the globe. Additionally, the PAC is pleased to welcome the community back into the facility for performances

and workshops. Tickets and workshop registrations are available through our online Box Office. In keeping with all regulatory provincial and public health regulations, health and safety protocols will be in

place including reduced capacities, enhanced cleaning protocols and mandatory mask wearing in all spaces. “The past 18 months have been a struggle for many artists and arts workers, losing the direct, live connection that provides both purpose and sustenance to their very being,” said Colleen Smith, Executive Director of FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. “This year’s Celebration of Nations is our official return to live performance and the art of gathering. We are grateful for the opportunity to honour, celebrate and grow our relationship with Indigenous peoples while supporting the return of live arts and culture to our community.” Celebration of Nations is part of a long-term vision of the FirstOntario Perform-

ing Arts Centre, Kakekalanicks and the City of St. Catharines to build on the Two Row Wampum that promotes all Nations walking together, in parallel, with respect, compassion and understanding to cultivate an inclusive community for our shared future. It is intended to provide opportunities for national and international visitors to actively participate in an inclusive and engaging community gathering that will foster a greater sense of belonging, support meaningful reconciliation, and leave a lasting legacy of goodwill for future generations. There will be a livestream on the FirstOntario PAC YouTube and Facebook Channels as well as on the Celebration of Nations Facebook pages.

Remember Our Smiling Faces Crickets singing in the silent night under the moonlight. You can hear them but never see one insight. Perfume of junipers as I layed, The fire growing dimmer… now somewhat afraid. My heart thumping, did I make a mistake to run away? Laying in darkness I prayed and prayed, Oh Lord! Too young to become astray. Dreaming, I see bluish white lights, fire flies softly Replied fight fight fight. Within your vessel and soul, turn away from the internal light. Shivering, returning to the earthly ground. Quiet… everything silent, not a sound. In the darkness a lone Wolf as white kissed snow Is laying beside me saying “I know”. His darting blue eyes showed kindness and grace “Come with me you’ll be safe” No words spoken we stood, guiding me softly from the woods So sorry my family, I’m not lost, I am with God. A wonderful place with all the other forgotten children. It’s okay to think of us and you have the right to Sob. Deborah Oakes
