When it comes to the economic benefits Six Nations could receive from a 117-km Lake Erie Connector Project, there are two compensation offers on the table – and they can’t be renegotiated. Since Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council approved a preliminary term sheet last month outlining the economic benefits to Six Nations from the Lake Erie Connector (LEC) project, many community members have said the $44 million to $90 million in possible revenue from the project is not enough. Some said Six Nations should ask for more. But during the first online community consultation session yesterday with project proponents and Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corp. reps, it was revealed that the offers cannot be re-negotiated. Instead, SNGRDC President Matt Jamieson said,

Participation is the only discussion on the table for the Lake Erie Connector Project, and participation payments are already determined according to SNGRDC President Matt Jamieson. SNGR

the consultation sessions – which are only going to be held online – are to determine if Six Nations wants to be a willing a participant in the project or not. The two economic offers – ownership or partnership – outlined in the term sheet are not renegotiable. The term sheet that Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council signed last month technically offers Six Nations three choices: -do nothing (proponents say the project will move forward with or without Six Nations’ involvement)

-agree to a 7.5 per cent ownership stake in the project, with the potential return of $44 million over 40 years, or, up to $90 million if the project lifespan reaches over 55 years -participation payments, which amounts to $30 million to $40 million over 40 years, or, up to $58 million if the project lifespan reaches over 55 years. Six Nations is being offered the chance to be an economic partner in the project because it sits on 1701 Nanfan Treaty area. When asked if Six Nations can negotiate for a larger piece of the pie,

Cherie Brant, an Indigenous lawyer specializing in energy transmission, land development and financing, said the financial modelling has already been done. “A lot of work has gone into this already,” she said. “It would be a very big challenge to go backwards,” she said, on such a short timeline. Project proponents are hoping to finalize the deal in June, shortly after community consultation sessions wrap up at the end of April. Six Nations has been in talks with the developer, ITC Holdings, since 2013. The project aims to construct a bilateral transmission line that sells excess energy generated from either Canada or the United States whenever each has a surplus of power to sell. Ontario will import electricity from stateside whenever it needs more power at a lower cost. The term sheet is a non-binding preliminary agreement signed by SNGR Chief Mark Hill last month. Site preparation is ex-

pected to begin next year with a four-year construction period and the transmission line is expected to be operational by 2026 or 2027. The project will also provide job opportunities for Six Nations people during the four-year construction period. Whichever option Six Nations chooses – ownership or participation – the revenue will be managed by the development corporation and the SNGRDC board of directors will decide annually how to disperse funds through its economic development trust. “We’re looking to Six Nations for guidance…on the best decision in the best interest of the people in the long run,” said Jamieson. SNGRDC has reached out to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council to be part of the discussions, with a letter sent to HCCC secretary Jock Hill on Feb. 9. “We have yet to hear back from them,” said Jamieson.

Natural gas bills skyrocket in February DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council is looking at using Covid relief funds to help community members offset the costs of their natural gas bills, which saw a sharp increase this past winter. Council discussed the measure at last night’s meeting, as well as political action regarding a possible exemption on the federal carbon tax, to help reduce natural gas bills for Six Nations residents. Tracy Skye, general manager at Six Nations Natural Gas, said gas prices are beyond their control. What’s more, people can expect to see even higher prices as the

Russian invasion of the Ukraine rages on. Those increases can be seen by the time April bills roll around. Just this week, Shell announced it would stop importing natural gas from Russia, as dozens of companies worldwide cease doing business with the country due its invasion of the Ukraine. Six Nations Natural Gas buys from Shell. “Six Nations doesn’t have control over these costs,” said Skye. What’s more, the federal carbon tax will also be going up in April – the third time since the start of the pandemic. The carbon tax, aimed to try to reduce the impact of climate change, is not considered a traditional tax, Skye said a lawyer told her, meaning First

Nations communities normally exempt from taxation still have to pay it as part of their gas bills. That is a political issue that goes beyond the scope of the natural gas company, said Skye. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council said with the pandemic almost over, it’s time to start holding politicians accountable again and holding their feet to the fire over a multitude of issues the community is facing. “We need to start meeting with people and start lobbying,” said Miller. “We’ve let them go for two years.” Skye said the only cost the natural gas company controls is a transportation cost used to fund the utility’s operations. But that cost hasn’t changed

since 2013. A brutal cold snap this past winter saw furnaces working overtime, and Skye recommended community members take steps to reduce their heating costs. Some of those measures, she said, include: sealing up drafts, changing furnace filters regularly, removing air conditioners over the winter and sealing the spaces properly, ensuring the home is properly insulated, and using a smart thermostat to program less usage during the day when nobody is home. Council agreed to look at using Covid relief funding for immediate help for residents, while working on longer-term solutions like the carbon tax exemption.

Ontario Tory MP Leslyn Lewis confirms second bid for party leader STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — Rookie Ontario MP Leslyn Lewis is taking a second run at the Conservative leadership. She confirmed her candidacy in a 45-second video shared on social media Tuesday and emailed supporters asking for help to collect the 500 signatures she needs to officially enter the race. She also launched her campaign website with a link to purchase memberships to support her and make donations. ``I'm running to lead our party and our country based on hope, unity and compassion,'' Lewis wrote on Twitter. She is the second declared candidate in the race. Ottawa-area MP Pierre Poilievre, announced his candidacy last month just days after Erin O'Toole was voted out of the leadership by

Haldimand-Norfolk MP Leslyn Lewis confirmed her candidacy to be the next leader of the Conservative party, replacing Erin O'Toole. LESLYNLEWIS

the Conservative caucus after just 17 months in the role. Former Quebec premier Jean Charest has scheduled a campaign launch event in Calgary Thursday, where he will formally announce his candidacy. Several others are still mulling it over, including former Conservative MP Patrick Brown, now the mayor of Brampton, Ont., former Ontario MP Leona Alleslev, current Ontario MP Scott Aitchison and independent Ontario MPP Roman Baber.

Day Scholars, it’s time to submit your claim

Lewis, a former Bay Street lawyer who moved to Canada as a child from Jamaica, ran in the 2020 leadership contest as a relative unknown, having never before served in elected office. She was the only woman in the race and placed third behind O'Toole and Peter MacKay, a former Tory cabinet minister who led the Progressive Conservative party before it merged with the Canadian Alliance in 2003. She has been a vocal critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates and a Liberal campaign promise to revoke the charitable status of anti-abortion pregnancy centres. She pulled a lot of support from the party's base in Western Canada and members of its well-mobilized social conservative network, some of whom are already backing her again. ``I can say with confidence we will 100 per cent be endorsing Leslyn

Lewis in the upcoming Conservative Party leadership race,'' said Alissa Golob, co-founder of the anti-abortion political group RightNow. ``Lewis is currently the only candidate who can truly unite the party and win the demographics the party needs to target to win.'' Lewis was elected as an MP just last fall in the rural southwestern Ontario riding of Haldimand-Norfolk but was not given a role in O'Toole's shadow cabinet. That omission drew the ire of the party's social conservative wing, many of whom moved their votes from Lewis to O'Toole in the 2020 leadership's final ballot, helping him secure the victory. In November, O'Toole was critical of some comments Lewis made on social media, questioning the value of vaccinating children against COVID-19.

Lewis has declined to identify her vaccination status publicly, saying she believes such information should be private. She publicly supported the trucker convoy which blockaded Ottawa streets for more than three weeks this winter to rally against COVID-19 restrictions, vaccine mandates and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. She is also backinga private member's bill brought by Alberta Conservative MP Garnett Genuis that would add political beliefs to the list of protections under the Canadian Human Rights Act. Genuis introduced that bill last week suggesting protesters participating in the blockades who had their bank accounts frozen were the victims of discrimination because of their politics.

'Beans' wins $100,000 prize By TRT Staff TORONTO — The comingof-age drama ``Beans'' has won the $100,000 best Canadian feature prize from the Toronto Film Critics Association. Director Tracey Deer was named the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award at a glitzy dinner gala Monday night, where the film's co-writer and executive producer Meredith Vuchnich accepted on her behalf. Previous winners and directors Jennifer Baichwal and Sarah Polley presented the award at an indoor event that restored many of the celebratory conventions of yore. Filmmaker David Cronenberg, director Don McKellar, ``Never Have I Ever'' star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Toronto International Film Festival CEO Cameron Bailey were among the luminaries to gather for the bash. Guests were tested for COVID-19 in advance and were required to wear masks when not eating or drinking.

Pandemic precautions forced the previous edition online, but Bailey said he was ``thrilled'' to reunite with other film professionals.̀ Ì'm seeing friends, I'm seeing colleagues. This is an important thing for us to do,'' Bailey said on the red carpet. `Èverybody's off working in isolation, especially over the last two years, and it's important to remember that we're not in this alone, that we have a community and that we tell stories that resonate with people.'' ``Beans'' centres on a 12-year-old Mohawk girl coming of age during the 1990 Oka Crisis. Before the award ceremony, Vuchnich recounted the film's acclaimed ride since it was selected for the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. ``The whole time we've been on this journey with 'Beans,' doors have opened for this film that I have never seen open for other films in my career,'' she said. `Ì think it's because Canadians are ready to hear this story. But this film

would not exist without Tracey Deer. This is such a personal film for her and we were lucky to help her tell it. I'm proud of her.'' The runners-up ``Night Raiders,'' directed by Danis Goulet, and ``Scarborough,'' directed by Shasha Nakhai and Rich Williamson, each received $5,000. Cronenberg was on hand as the winner of the previously announced Clyde Gilmour Award, which recognizes a Canadian figure in the film industry who has made a significant contribution to Canadian cinema. It allows the writer/ director to bestow $50,000 in production services to a fellow filmmaker of his choice. His pick is still to be announced. Bailey presented two-spirit L'nu director Bretten Hannam with the $10,000 Stella Artois Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist, announced previously. Hannam wrote and directed ``Wildhood,'' which was recently nominated for six Canadian Screen Awards.

March Break Safety Tips

March break is next week and Six Nations Police would like to offer some safety tips for students and parents. First and foremost always have a plan. If playing outside, let someone know where you are or are going to be (playing with friends) and for how long. Check in frequently with each other by going back in the house to say “Hi Mom or Dad!” Or the safest is for parents to be present outside with their children. Like a fire drill, families should practice having emergency plans. Having emergency contact numbers for family or trusted pre-arranged places to go in case the power goes out. Teach children to use 9-1-1 in an emergency situation. In today’s world everyone has cell phones and can maintain constant contact with their loved ones. Make sure they are fully charged. Be aware of playing near ditches, streams, creeks, ponds and rivers as the rising temperatures will melt the ice causing the water to rise and make the edges unstable. Motorists please be extra aware of your surroundings next week as students maneuver along the streets to their intended destinations. This message brought to you by Six Nations Police Service

Thunder Woman Speaks: Hierarchies of power and Trudeau RACHEL A. SNOW

rachelannsnow634@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The termination agenda of the Trudeau government is in full swing. Trudeau is trying to corner all historic Treaty First Nations into signing onto watered down agreements of “self-government”. Self-government implies that someone or some institution is allowing another group, tribe or nation to exercise a federally defined governance system. Sadly, First Nations are lining up to go over this buffalo jump into the pit of ethnic minorities. Their self-government agreements will be no more than municipal style governments with “delegated” powers. How did we get to this point? One consistent threat to historic treaties has been the office of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN). The AFN is a corporate lobbying body. The AFN did not sign treaty and they are not signatories to any other treaty other than Memoranda of Understanding with the federal government. Similar bodies have erupted across the historic treaty areas with prairie treaty organizations

(PTO’s) flexing like they are the signatory treaty signing nations. This is causing confusion and miscommunication at the grassroots level. Trudeau’s plan to take the treaty rights that exist eternally or into perpetuity and diminish them into Canadian “aboriginal” collectives. When the federal Liberal party took office, Trudeau announced that no relation was more important to his party that the relationship with First Nations. However, Trudeau is defining this relationship including the type of governance systems that will be recognized by his government. It is the continuance of the agenda of his late father, the drafter of the 1969 White paper that is still trying to eradicate the relationship that was intended by the First Nations and the British Crown. First Nations intended to share the land and resources. First Nations were put onto small plots of land called reserves and their everyday life was restricted by the Indian Act and the on-site Indian Agent. This Indian agent position has evolved so that today, the chief and councils who govern the First Nations are Indian Act chief and councils.

The chief and councils are extensions of the federal government co-managing underfunding or fighting with proposal-based programs for funds that should rightly come to all First Nations. This is why First Nations live in abject poverty. The British Crown left an Indian trust fund that would accrue interest and be the primary source of ongoing funds for First Nations in Canada. It seems that the federal government mismanaged this trust or allowed minimal rates of interest on the capital so that the funds held in banks would gain greater returns and in fact, finance the growth of this stolen country. Instead of giving an accounting of the funds, the federal department of Indian Affairs puts out the line that funds are at the discretion of the Treasury Board under the direction of cabinet. This is how a country can be stolen and the peoples who have agreed to share everything have become paupers in their own land. The stance that First Nations have to take is a sovereignty stance. The First Nations have to remind Canada that they were the original “owners” of this land and as such,

Canada has outstanding obligations that go on into eternity. It is difficult for Indian affairs councils to speak with this authority because they have become disconnected from their true governance systems, their connection to the land and the Creator, and now operate with colonized thinking. Across Canada, grassroots are rising and questioning their “leadership”. This is being met with hostility, lateral violence and targeting of the very people they purport to represent. In our original governance systems, everything began with spirituality, prayer and humility. The governance was not about establishing hierarchies of power but about maintaining respect for the land and sharing among the nation from the bounty of the land. This governance system and thinking has been corrupted. With the Indian Act determining the “vote” or election procedures for reserves, the biggest families began to control the vote because the demographics on reserve does not change. This continues to be a problem into today. Non-First nation people wrongly apply their mainstream solutions or

expected outcomes to this flawed experiment on reserve. If a person or clan or people from the band begin asking questions, they are quickly ostracized, shut down and persecuted. Non-First nation people quickly point out rules and regulations such as those things that are available in their world as solutions. This is not practiced on reserve. There are Indian act by-laws or band council resolutions that supposedly have the weight of “law” for individual First Nations. However, it is the band council that passes them in absence of community consultation and in the “best interests” of the band. Indian Act councils use mainstream terminology such as buy in for economic development or increased jobs wrongfully believing that these are the solutions for First Nations to achieve equity with Canada. When and if First Nation bands are successful at starting businesses, then Indian Affairs will cut back on their funding citing that the First Nations need to use their “own source revenue”. In this way the glass that is underfilled by Canada remains the same whether Canada or the Nation itself contributes the funds needed to run

programming. This is a “can’t win” model that Canada has placed all First Nations in while calling its efforts, reconciliation. Canada is reconciling that with enough motivation, First Nation bands, like lab rats, will take the bait and think they are “getting ahead”. How can this happen? Well, the aforementioned governance systems, are controlled by big families voting consistently for one person or family and this person or family may not be well educated or competent. Therefore, the systems of promised change followed by derailment policies of the federal government keep the First Nation grassroots people on the ground in constant upheaval and varying states of poverty. The trauma of being First Nations today, is compounded by the inept governance structures at the reserve level, provincial or lobbying body level and from the federal level which keeps all First Nations struggling and in poverty. Until First Nations recognize big picture truths and fight with spirituality and sovereignty the plight of the First Nation Indians in Canada will continue to be a trail of genocide.

Amazon Canada and TakingITGlobal are launching Your Voice is Power, a new school curriculum program and music remix competition that teaches coding skills using music from Indigenous artists. The initiative aims to reach more than 1,000 students, and the program is open to schools in all provinces and territories. All participants will be encouraged to submit their remixes to a competition in which two winners – one Indigenous, one identifying as an ally – will receive $5,000 scholarships, donated by Amazon Music.

to discover computer science, one of Canada's fastest-growing academic and career fields. "At Amazon, we are committed to empowering children and young adults to learn new skills that will give them more opportunities," said Susan Ibach, Head of Amazon Future Engineer Canada. "Your Voice is Power gives students and teachers an introduction to coding while demonstrating how music and computer science can be tools to advance social justice.”

The Your Voice is Power lesson plan features eight modules that teach the basics of coding while engaging students in discussions on the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis experience in Canada, including topics like Residential Schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action. Students will remix music from Indigenous artists Jayli Wolf, Dakota Bear, and Samian using EarSketch, a free online code editor that will

be available in English, French, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. "We've brought together the powerful music of First Nations artists while giving an opportunity to thousands of students to build their coding skills as they challenge themselves to submit their own original beats. We can't wait to hear what they create,” said Anishinaabe educator Christine M'lot, who led curriculum development on behalf of TakingITGlobal.

Meet Orenn Clothing A minimalist and modern brand with a hint of luxury JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Orenn Clothing is a First Nations-owned clothing brand run by 19-yearold Bailey Hill from Six Nations. Bailey told the Two Row Times that she creates modern and simple designs inspired by Haudenosaunee mythology. “When I was a kid my mom read me a book about heroes, heroines, monsters and magic. And we have similar mythological creatures and magic in our culture that I was always really interested in. The book didn’t have too many pictures so I had to imagine what they looked like in my head. Some of those imaginations have made their way into my designs — like the Horned Serpent,” said Bailey. Bailey lives in Vancouver during the school year but met with the Two Row Times over Zoom to chat more about her brand. TRT: Where did the name Orenn come from? BH: It’s short for my Indian name. I didn’t think everybody would be able to pronounce that easily, so I shortened it. It means ‘carry a song.’ TRT: I see you had some items for sale at Chiefswood. Where can someone find your products? BH: Chiefswood Park opened an in-person store featuring local artists’ work. I put some items in there, but normally I operate online and through Instagram. TRT: Why did you make the Onkwehon:we collection? BH: I thought it was re-

ally important to celebrate who we are. I created the Onkwehon:we collection in response to the discovery of the 215 children found buried at the Kamloops Indian Residential school and I wanted to say I know our people are resilient. Despite countless efforts to erase our culture, we are still here fighting to keep our culture and languages alive. We were here. We are still here. We are resilient. TRT: What made you want to start designing? BH: I’ve always wanted to own a business and

be my own boss. During the pandemic, I got back into drawing and I wanted to make some extra money so I thought a clothing brand was a good idea. I landed on the idea of including some of our mythology into my designs and I went with that. I wanted to create what feels like a high-end clothing brand. TRT: Do you design the artwork, the clothing or both? BH: First I was just doing the artwork and I would send the designs to someone else to put

it on the clothing. But then I moved to screen printing it myself. And I’ve done some of my own embroidery. On a recent collection, I outsourced the embroidery because it was so large. In the future, I want to start designing and manufacturing my own sweaters and more clothing. TRT: What types of clothing do you sell? BH: High-quality loungewear. Hoodies. Sweatpants. T-shirts. TRT: How would you describe your aesthetic?

BH: I would describe my aesthetic as very minimalistic with a hint of modern luxury. TRT: What would you say your style is not? BH: It’s not something you are going to find at a place like Hot Topic. Definitely is more of a Zara or Aritzia feel. TRT: What goals do you have for Orenn Clothing over the next few years? BH: Over the next few years I want to have my own store and want to move toward manufacturing my own clothing; design the inseams and choosing the fabric. I want to continue using high-quality fabric and educating my customers through my cultural designs. That was always one of my goals; to educate both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. TRT: What is your favourite part about being a designer? BH: My favourite part is drawing and creating the designs. I also really like the social media aspect. TRT: What advice would you give someone who wants to start something similar? BH: Take advantage of social media as a form of marketing. A good social media presence and consistent posting is how I grew my business to what it is now and I also suggest investing in branding. Everyone appreciates a clear brand aesthetic. TRT: What does it mean to you when you see non-Indigenous people wearing your designs? BH: Honestly I en-

courage it. I feel like the educational aspect of my brand is important. I create for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. If a non-Indigenous person wants to put in the effort to learn about our stories and mythology, it creates an opportunity for my culture to be shared and talked about and explained. TRT: What are you passionate about apart from clothing? BH: I have another small business that I started around same the time as the clothing brand. I do acrylic nails and bio gel nails, which are like the fake ones that go really long. I’ve been doing that for a while now and I think once school is done I would like to keep both the nail and clothing businesses going.

Ts'uubaa-asatx Nation settles land claim CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Canadian Press TORONTO — APTN and CBC have teamed up to create and air more Indigenous TV productions, news and information programming. The networks say the goal is to train emerging First Nations, Inuit and Metis creators, foster more material and build audiences for that content. Projects already underway include the multigenerational psychological drama ``Bones of Crows,'' created by Metis writer, director and lead producer Marie Clements. Another is the Indigenous-language and French-language residential school miniseries ``Pour toi Flora,'' written and directed by First Nations filmmaker Sonia Bonspille Boileau. Both are set to premiere in April, on both networks. Although the two broadcasters have collaborated in the past, CBC/ Radio-Canada president Catherine Tait says there is now ``a formal framework for collaboration into the future.'' ``This is a statement of our commitment, willingness and interest in growing that relationship,'' she said Thursday. ``It sets our goals around amplifying Indigenous creators' voices across the country and allows us to ... be account-

able to all our stakeholders across the country, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.'' APTN CEO Monika Ille noted that Indigenous storytelling is getting more attention, but that ``there are lots of Indigenous stories that still need to be told.'' ``By partnering together, we're giving more possibilities to Indigenous producers to tell their stories, and also increasing and helping in the financial structure of those projects,'' said Ille. In order to be identified as an Indigenous project, production teams must be majority-owned by Indigenous persons and Indigenous persons must hold key creative positions. There is no number or target on how many projects the collaboration will produce. Tait and Ille invited creators to contact either network with pitches, and know that their proposals would be considered by both broadcasters. ``We want to make sure that all Indigenous creators out there know that when they knock on the door of APTN, or knock on the door of CBC/ Radio-Canada, they're actually knocking on all those doors at the same time because we're going to be talking to each other about the projects that we're developing,'' said Tait.

The settlement agreement was ratified by Ts'uubaa-asatx Nation on December 8, 2021. Since the Specific Claims Program began in 1973 to November 30, 2021, a total of 588 specific claims totaling $8.8 billion in compensation

have been settled through negotiations. From January 1, 2016 to November 30, 2021, 183 claims have been resolved for over $5 billion in compensation. Of these, 178 were settled through negotiation for over $4.8 billion in compensation, and 5 were resolved at the Tribunal for $169 million in compensation.

Toronto women’s hockey team sold to investors including Ted Nolan

The Toronto Six women's hockey team are entering their second season.

TRT

Famer Angela James. The owners are the first Canadian situated and BIPOC investors in PHF history. The Six are in their second season in the Premier Hockey Federation, which was the National Women’s Hockey League for six years before rebranding in 2021. Ownership will trans-

fer from U.S.based BTM Partners to the Canadian group with a full list of investors to be announced at the closing of the deal, said the PHF in a statement on Monday. The Six are the only Canadian club in the sixteam league alongside the Boston Pride, Buffalo Beauts, Connecticut Whale,

A 12-16 final gave the Shockwave a win, and a 9-18 final gave the RiverWolves a victory. This pushed a few ends in the standings, as the Snipers continued in the lead, followed by the Timbermen, RiverWolves, Outlaws, Monarchs, Shockwave and Steelhawks trailing at the end. On the following Saturday, March 5, the Lady Snipers met the with Lady Steelhawks in the morning to come out with a versus that ended 10-3 for the Steelhawks. The Lady RiverWolves played their

first game versus the Lady Shockwave that finalized with a loss 4-7. The RiverWolves had to stay suited for a back to back showing with another round against the Lady Steelhawks, this time ending with a loss 4-6. The final game had long-time rivals meet in the Lady Snipers and Lady Shockwave, which ended in a final of 3-6 for the Snipers. The Lady Snipers lead the teams, followed by the Last Steelhawks, Lady Shockwave and trailed by the Lady RiverWolves in the Eastern Division standings. Their next games fall on Saturday March 12, at 11am, 12:15pm, 1:30pm, and 2:45pm EST consecutively at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Six Nations Snipers in the lead By TRT Staff

OSHAWA — The Six Nations Snipers played off home soil this weekend as their match with the Whitby Steelhawks fell in the evening of Saturday, March 5. Seeing goals from Scott Del Zotto (5), Travis Longboat (2), Kahn General (2), Justin Martin (3), Tye Argent, Brent Longboat, Vernon Hill, Daris Anderson, and Daylen Hill, the game opened for a 4-2 first period for the Snipers. The second opened for a score of 13-5 for the Snipers, and finally, the third period opened for a 19-12 final with the Snipers taking the victory with a seven goal lead. The Iroquois Lacrosse arena saw two out-of-

Metropolitan Riveters and Minnesota Whitecaps. James is widely considered the first superstar in women’s hockey and remains the only Black player to captain Canada’s National Women’s Team. On the national stage she was a four-time gold medal winner at the IIHF Women’s World Championship, including the very first event in 1990 where she set a tournament record with 11 goals. The Torontonian became the first Canadian woman to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010 and is also a member of the Black Ice Hockey and Sports Hall of Fame, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame, and has been awarded the Order of Hockey in Canada. This season she’s been serving as an assistant coach for the Six. Carnegie is the daughter of the late Herbert H. Carnegie, who was part of the only “All Black Line” in 1940’s semi-pro hockey. She co-founded the Herbert H. Carnegie Future Aces Foundation with her father and mother in 1987, helping countless individu-

als develop the confidence to become better citizens. As President of Bernice Carnegie and Associates, she works to address social injustice by bringing awareness to and affecting behavioral changes related to equity, fairness, and inclusiveness. The Carnegie Initiative works to ensure that hockey is inclusive, supportive and welcoming to all. Nolan co-founded the program 3NOLANS, with sons Brandon and Jordan, to specifically work with First Nation youth to further develop their hockey skills and knowledge. Hailing from Garden River First Nation near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the 63-yearold played eight seasons of professional hockey including three in the NHL before transitioning his career into coaching. He has enjoyed success at every level behind the bench for more than 30 years, including seven NHL seasons, notably winning the 1997 Jack Adams Trophy with the Buffalo Sabres. New and diverse ownership groups are part of the evolution of the PHF that

will see substantial growth in years to come, driven by the Board of Governors’ commitment to investing $25 million over the next three years to directly enhance the player experience. Expansion to eight teams for the 2022-23 season along with a salary cap of $750,000 per team, full healthcare benefits and equity in the teams, facility upgrades, new equipment, and increased ice time is all part of the pledge to support professional PHF athletes. The Six joined the PHF in 2020 and immediately captured a regular season title during the shortened 2021 campaign. They are currently in first place in the overall PHF standings with a 13-2-1 record and are a perfect 8-0 on home ice during this historic first season in Canada. The club, led by reigning MVP and current PHF top scorer Mikyla Grant-Mentis, will pursue their first Isobel Cup crown in playoff action March 25-28 in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Killed child's mother wants police fired over domestic dispute response The Canadian Press

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, speaking on Frenchman's behalf, alleges officers racially profiled her and accused her of being drunk. They detained her and left the toddler with his father. ``They locked her up, lied, and said she was drunk when she was not. This is criminal negligence that would be disgusting in any country,'' federation Vice-Chief Dutch Lerat said in Saskatoon. ``They didn't care about the safety of the First Nations baby.'' Kaij Brass was subsequently charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tanner Brass.

He was arrested when police returned to the home about five hours after their first visit. The federation, which represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan, said police didn't do a welfare check on Tanner or bring in the Ministry of Social Services. Federation Chief Bobby Cameron said Frenchman made the initial 911 call because she was fearful for their safety. ``When Kyla put the call in, it was clear, she said (to police) 'my baby'. They get to the residence and detain her. Again she said 'my baby.' In the cop car, she said 'my baby' and in the

not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment. But on the day after the boy's death, Bergen said the service was reviewing how police responded to the call at the home and that the Saskatchewan Public Complaints Commission had been notified and was investigating. ``The death of a child is a tragedy that leaves family and loved ones devastated,'' the police service said in a Feb. 11 release. ``As an organization, there is nothing we can say to lessen the grief and torment at this shocking loss of a deeply loved child from our community.'' On Feb. 16, Bergen announced the appointment of a new inspector to oversee the patrol section of the police service. In a news release, the service said the appointment followed the death of a young

child in the community on Feb. 10. ``Specific details about the police response or the circumstances of the file cannot be disclosed due to the investigation now underway,'' the service said. ``However, in the days since, Chief Bergen has determined that a structure change is needed within the organization.'' Bergen said before the change, the inspector on duty was responsible for the patrol division, police detention and custody. ``We know that our police officers face an increasing number of calls for service each year, and it has become more difficult to manage every call as thoroughly as required,'' Bergen said in the release. ``We need to make sure we are fully compliant with policy, legislation, and best practices, and that is driving this change.''

Inquest jury rules 2017 police shooting of Nunavut man a homicide STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SANIRAJAK, NVT. — The six-person jury at a coroner's inquest has determined a police shooting of a Nunavut man almost five years ago was a homicide. Jeremy Nuvviaq, 39, died after he was shot by RCMP in Sanirajak in May 2017 following reports to police of a suicidal man with a gun. The inquest heard that Nuvviaq had mentioned suicide to others in the past and that he livestreamed himself on Facebook the night he died saying he wanted police to kill him. Nuvviaq's former colleague, who watched the video, testified that he had phoned police in the community to warn them that it looked like he was

holding a toy gun. After a few brief interactions with police, the inquest heard that Nuvviaq raised a pellet gun over his shoulder and aimed it at one of the officers before he was shot by Const. Stephen Currie. The officers later discovered it was a pellet gun. Nuvviaq's common-law partner testified that he was a good father to their two adopted children and wiped away tears as she spoke. The jury has made 17 recommendations to prevent similar deaths, including that RCMP officers in the territory should be trained in Inuit knowledge. Another recommendation suggests officers take suicide prevention, mental health training and run through scenarios where people want to die by police. Ottawa police officers

who investigated the shooting in 2017 cleared Currie of any wrongdoing. Currie had said he feared for his life. Sheldon Toner, the coroner's lawyer, told the jury that inquests must always have a presumption against suicide, but that much of the evidence showed Nuvviaq had wanted to die. Coroner's inquests are mandatory in Nunavut when someone dies at the hands of police and do not find fault or criminality. The jury's ruling follows a coroner's inquest in Gjoa Haven, Nvt. into the police shooting of 21-year-old Charles Qirngnirq, where the jury also ruled his death a homicide.

Indigenous groups still aim to buy Trans Mountain pipeline, even as costs soar CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY — Indigenous-led groups remain committed to pursuing ownership of the Trans Mountain pipeline, even as cost overruns for the pipeline expansion project soar. Last month, the federal Crown corporation that owns the pipeline revealed estimated construction costs of the expansion have ballooned by 70 per cent to $21.4 billion, up from an earlier estimate of $12.6 billion. Trans Mountain Corp. also pushed back the estimated completion date of the project from sometime this year to the third quarter of 2023. In an email Monday, Trans Mountain Corp. spokeswoman Siobhan Vinish confirmed that due to existing contractual agreements with shippers, only 20 to 25 per cent of the increased capital costs can be passed on to oil companies in the form of increased tolls. (Tolls are the rates oil companies pay to shift product on a pipeline, and they are how the pipeline company makes money). That means that about $7 billion in cost overruns must be absorbed by Trans Mountain itself, ultimately eroding the project's returns. But escalating costs aren't deterring Indigenous-led initiatives like Nesika Services, a non-profit organization that is working to help Indigenous communities along the pipeline's route acquire a stake in Trans Mountain. ``It means obviously the entire pie for the project is smaller,'' said Nesika Services executive director Paul Poscente, in an interview. ``But we've done some modelling based on the publicly available information, and it's absolutely still viable.'' ``We still believe that Canada can sell a portion of this pipeline to Indigenous communities on a commercial basis,'' Poscente said. ``We have been urging Canada to start a negotiation.''

Project Reconciliation, another Indigenous-led initiative that is seeking 100 per cent Indigenous ownership of Trans Mountain, recently sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to indicate it is still ``ready, willing and able'' to purchase the pipeline. ``We're anxious to sit down and have conversations more formally on that,'' said Project Reconciliation managing director Stephen Mason. Still, Mason acknowledged that the new $21.4 billion capital price tag for the project is higher than his group had anticipated. ``We had re-run our financial expectations about 4 or five months ago, assuming $17 billion,'' Mason said, adding the ultimate selling price for the pipeline will only be what a prospective buyer is willing to pay, and will therefore reflect the anticipated return on investment. ``Whether it's us buying this asset or a big pipeline company coming in to buy it ... they're only going to pay a price that will be supported by the tolls. It has to be supported by a revenue model.'' The 1,150 km Trans Mountain pipeline carries 300,000 barrels of oil per day, and is Canada's only pipeline system transporting oil from Alberta to the West Coast. Its expansion, for which construction is currently underway, will essentially twin the existing pipeline, raising daily output to 890,000 barrels to support Canadian crude oil production growth and ensure access to global energy markets. Trans Mountain was bought by the federal government for $4.5 billion in 2018, after previous owner Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. threatened to scrap the pipeline's planned expansion project in the face of environmentalist opposition. Last month, Trans Mountain Corp. blamed the surging cost projections for the project on the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the November 2021 flooding in British Columbia, as well as project

enhancements, increased security costs, route changes to avoid culturally and environmentally sensitive areas, and scheduling pressures related to permitting processes and construction challenges in difficult terrain. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said last month that Trans Mountain Corp. will need to secure third-party funding to complete the project, either through banks or public debt markets. However, she said the federal government still believes the Trans Mountain expansion is a ``serious and necessary project'' that is in the national interest and that remains financially viable. Robyn Allan, an independent economist who was also an intervenor during the regulatory hearing for the Trans Mountain expansion, said she believes the federal government is destined to take a loss on the project. ``Knowing what I know about the tolls, there's no way this project is financially viable. The inability to pass on most capital cost overruns starts to very rapidly erode your internal rate of return,'' Allan said. If the pipeline is completed, and if it's sold, the loss to taxpayers will be in the billions of dollars, Allan said. Chinook Pathways, another group seeking an equity stake in the pipeline, did not respond to a request for comment. Chinook is an Indigenous-led partnership formed by Western Indigenous Pipeline Group and its industry partner, Pembina Pipeline Corp. The federal government has indicated it does not wish to be the long-term owner of Trans Mountain, and intends to launch a divestment process after the expansion project has been ``further derisked.'' The federal government has also said it is open to Indigenous ownership of the pipeline. It has said next steps toward that objective will be announced later this year.
