The Ontario government is investing $5.45 million over three years to provide Six Nations Police, Brantford Police Services and Brant OPP with significant new resources to secure the communities. For Six Nations, this means a desperately needed $1.5 million dollar capacity boost directed at investigating guns and gangs on the territory. The funding comes at a critical point in time when the Six Nations community is being overrun with a steep increase in gun violence, murder and violent crimes. Six Nations Chief of Police Darren Montour says that rise is connected to the illegal drug trade flourishing on the territory, causing community residents to feel threatened and unsafe. The funding was announced on April 19 and is part of Ontario’s $267 million investment in the Community Safety and Policing (CSP) Grant Program for initiatives that help

BRANTFORD — Police are asking for the public’s assistance after seven vehicles from the 1970s were pulled from Mohawk Lake in Brantford. On April 8, OPP’s Dive Team recovered the the vehicles from the waterway, saying it is believed they have been sitting at the bottom of Mohawk Lake for some time.

They are not believed to be connected to any other crime at this time. All recovered vehicles were 1970’s models and have sustained significant damage as a result of being submerged in the water for what appears to be an extended period of time. The recovered vehicles are as follows: #1 AMC Pacer 19751977 red #2 Ford Cortina 19721975 brown

#3 Chevrolet C10 1970-1975 blue #4 Plymouth Caravelle 1978 green #5 Chrysler Cordoba 1977 white #6 Pontiac GTX 1970–1975 white #7 Buick Riviera 19701975 blue Anyone with information about the vehicles or how they got to the bottom of the lake is being asked to contact Crimestoppers.

Whether to combat the opioid crisis, share intelligence, or prevent violent crime, this funding will make a difference in all corners of Ontario.” Under the Local Priorities Funding Stream, each eligible police services board had a predetermined allocation that they could apply for. The CSP Grant Program helps police services address priority issues identified in their communities such as expanding mental health supports, preventing crime in schools and combatting cybercrime. It also addresses province-wide priorities such as; gun and gang violence; sexual violence and harassment; human trafficking; mental health and addictions; and hate-motivated crime Police services will be required to report twice a year on the financial activities and outcomes of their initiatives.

Moosemeat and Marmalade to film on Six Nations in May DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Canada’s longest-running cooking show will be filming on Six Nations next month, showcasing the community’s food traditions to the world. Moosemeat and Marmalade, a show where cultures intersect though food, will be filming the seventh season of the documentary cooking show on Six Nations of the Grand River territory from May 2 to May 10. The show is about two hosts, Art Napolean – described as a “bush cook” - and classically-trained French Chef Dan Hayes exploring cultures through food. The original APTN production has gone international and is shown in countries as far away as Turkey and New Zealand. Because they don’t have a massive budget like the publically-funded CBC, the show relies on partnerships with communities. The episode filming on Six Nations will showcase the community’s food traditions. “We know how important corn was, we know how important strawberries are…we want to kind of show that off, show that to the world,” said Napolean, who is also one of the show’s producers. “We’re there to learn about things like food sovereignty and food

security.” The half-hour episode will condense three days’ worth of filming into 22 minutes of air time. Napolean said they want someone from the community to teach viewers about corn, lyed corn and how it’s processed, how it’s procured, and they’ll also test out some Iroquois recipes. Kayanase, a greenhouse on Hwy. 54, is one of the filming locations. “We’re very familiar with respecting local customs and protocols,” said Napolean, as they aim to tell the most “positive and beautiful story” they can about Haudenosaunee food traditions. They’re also thinking of fishing in the Grand River and visiting local restaurants and local food sustainability organizations as part of the episode highlighting the local food scene. “We’re hoping to get your blessing to be able to proceed,” Napolean said to Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council during a meeting last week. SNGR is happily welcoming the crew to the territory to begin filming next month. “We’re very rich and filled with many chefs,” said Elected Chief Mark Hill.

Bread and Cheese returns to its roots this year DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations Bread and Cheese is coming back home. After two years of a worldwide pandemic that saw the community come together in its determination to carry on Bread and Cheese in unusual ways, this third year will see the beloved annual tradition go back to its roots, with a parade and gathering at the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Grounds. No more drive-through events. No more driveway deliveries. The familiar crush of crowds that the community has come to love and expect at the arena on Fourth Line Road will resume once again on May 23, but a few remnants of the Covid pandemic will still be evident. Masks will be optional, so some high-risk community members might be wearing them. The presence of a midway is still touch and go at this point, as the company Six Nations hired in the past went out of business due to Covid. And the delivery of bread and cheese to community members will carry on, after learning that some elders and housebound residents unable to make it out to past Bread and Cheese events appreciated the delivery options

these past few years. But the beloved annual parade through downtown Ohsweken that marks the beginning of the Bread and Cheese festivities is back on, as well as the exciting fireworks display at the sports fields during the annual May 24 weekend that celebrates the birth of Queen Victoria. Bread and Cheese will be handed out to throngs of people who line up outside the arena eagerly every year for the 12 p.m. sharp disbursement of freshly cut cheese and bread. “We’re looking to go back to our regular activities, pre-Covid,” said Katie Montour, Six Nations of the Grand River communications officer. Fireworks will proceed at 9:45 p.m. on Sunday and track and field competitions will be held as usual until 11 a.m. on Monday. “Yes, the parade is happening and it’s being organized by the Parks and Rec team,” said Montour. “The theme this year is Celebrating Our Past, Present and Future.” The parade goes through the town of Ohsweken and enters through the main gate on Fourth Line Road. Parking will be available for elders in front of the arena with regular parking behind the community hall near the track. Elders will have a special entrance and accommodations inside the

arena. There will also be chairs for those who may need to sit. SNGR will provide details in the coming weeks on how elders and homebound community members can sign up for delivery of bread and cheese. Montour said community members are free to choose whether or not to wear a mask at the event, calling the decision a personal risk assessment. “We are still in a pandemic so we do still have to be alert,” said Montour. Ontario has already lifted majority of health measures, including mandatory masking, with all mandates expected to be lifted by April 27, well before Bread and Cheese festivities take place. Six Nations has followed suit with the province. “The Chief Medical Officer of Health is still recommending masking for certain high-risk settings so planning for bread and cheese, we are taking a harm reduction approach,” said Montour. Organizers will provide masks and hand sanitizer. “Really it’s up to the individual as to whether they feel it is safe to attend or not,” said Montour. “Attendees are being asked to conduct their own personal risk assessment. They can choose to wear a mask.” Another fallout effect from the pandemic will be felt this year, and that’s the cost of goods and

services, all of which have seen a sharp rise in prices due to inflation. “Food prices have gone up significantly this year,” Montour noted, adding she didn’t have exact figures available, just that prices for bread and cheese are higher this year over last year. Last year, a drive through event was held at The Gathering Place and the year before, in 2020, Chief and Council dropped off bread and cheese at the end of community driveways. In Ohsweken, community members got porch drop-offs. “We’ve been doing our best to maintain the tradition,” said Chief Hill. “I know it’s been quite a challenge what to do with Bread and Cheese the last couple of years.” He said he will “always cherish” the memory of the first year of the pandemic when the chief and elected councillors dropped off bread and cheese to the entire community over two days of driving around the reserve. Hill reminisced about all the supportive signs that dotted the community in May 2020 thanking frontline workers for their bravery when the threat level of Covid-19 was still not entirely known. As challenging as it was, Hill said, that day (Bread and Cheese 2020) brought out some amazing memories and coming together as a community.

Powerline will proceed with or without Six By Donna Duric The proposed Lake Erie Connector Project, consisting of a 110-km long power cable between Canada and the United States, will proceed with or without Six Nations’ participation, a community meeting heard at the Six Nations Tourism building last week. Last Thursday’s meeting at Six Nations Tourism was the first in-person meeting on the project since community consultations began in March. SNGRDC has been hosting webinars to reach community members due to Covid gathering concerns. The project is approaching a decision deadline, with community consultation expected to wrap up at the end of April and Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council expected to make a decision on whether or not to participate in the economic benefits of the project by mid-May. Six Nations, as one of the First Nations in the project’s Nanfan Treaty Area zone, has three participation options: join as a 7.5 equity partner in the project, with a potential economic benefit of $45 million to $90 million; sign on for royalty payments, with a potential economic benefit between $30 and $40 million; or, do nothing. In any case, ITC Holdings says it will move forward with the project because it has the required permits. The cable will be dug in a two-meter trench underneath Lake Erie, connecting Pennsylvania and Ontario at the site of the former Nanticoke Generating Station. The land is currently being used as a cornfield. Six Nations will also get about $118,000 a year as part of a community benefit agreement. Project profits that come to Six Nations will funnel through the SNGRDC and the board will decide

annually how to disperse those funds to community projects. The $118,000 will funnel through elected council. In order to be a partner, Six Nations has to borrow $26 million from ITC. The money will be paid back throughout the lifetime of the project, said Matt Jamieson, SNGRDC president. “From a risk perspective, it’s the best model that we could use to mitigate any risks we might have.” The loan is a non-recourse loan, meaning the company can’t come after any of Six Nations’ assets if it defaults on the loan payments. “The only thing that we’re pledging is the ownership units in the asset,” he said. “If the project fell apart and we couldn’t pay, ITC can’t come after us.” ITC touts the project as a money-saver and an environmentally-friendly project that creates clean energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, Ontario doesn’t have adequate infrastructure to get rid of excess energy, leading it to be wasted. The project would see Canada and the United States alternately share power through the underwater, bi-lateral cable whenever either country has generated an excess of energy, earning Ontario profits from selling the power to the States and reducing electricity costs for Ontario ratepayers. Six Nations has been in talks with ITC Holdings since the company first approached elected council in 2013. Site preparation is expected to take place in 2023, with an estimated four-year construction period. ITC and SNGRDC said when the project is decommissioned, the land will go back to its original condition.

Gane Yohs gets a makeover The Ohsweken Dental Office and the waiting areas located inside of Gane Yohs Community Health Centre have received a cosmetic makeover thanks to a fundraising effort from the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League and the Smilezone Foundation. The updates include repainting, modernizing the building’s technology and the creation of artwork by Smilezone artist, Linda Holmes and team, and murals created by local Six Nations of the Grand River Artist Arnold Jacobs. Smilezone is a foundation that helps to improve

and facilitate happier environments for patients and families in healthcare settings across Canada. “On behalf of Smilezone Foundation's Board of Directors, we are thrilled with these very special new Smilezones inside of Gane Yohs Community Health Centre,” says Smilezone Foundation’s Founder and Co-Chair Scott Bachly. “We would also like to extend a tremendous thank you to the Toronto Rock for their continued support, making these new Smilezones spaces possible.” The Toronto Rock helped support the Gane Yohs

Community Health Centre - Smilezone Project by raising funds throughout their 2021-2022 season, which included 50/50 ticket sales at all their home games plus an official Charity Game night on April 16, 2022 at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton. “We are very excited to see this project come to fruition,” said Toronto Rock Owner, President and GM Jamie Dawick. “Smilezone always does terrific work in the community and we are as proud as ever to be a part of this new Smilezone at the Gane Yohs Community Health Centre in Six

Nations. I want to thank our fans, players, and staff for embracing our annual fundraising efforts, especially this year.” “Six Nations Health Services would like to say nya:weh kowa to the Smilezone Foundation and the Toronto Rock for their efforts in updating Gane Yohs Community Health Centre,” said Lori Davis-Hill, director of Six Nations Health Services. “We look forward to welcoming the Six Nations of the Grand River Community to enjoy the updated space for many years to come.”

OPINION

TWO ROW TIMES

April 20th, 2022

editor@tworowtimes.com

When it comes to funding public safety, when is enough really enough? In classic provincial fashion, the Conservatives have made a late-term investment into policing on Six Nations. A total of $1.5 million is being directed to a new guns and gangs initiative on the territory to increase capacity for the Six Nations Police to battle the steep increase in violence on the territory. In speaking to press, Six Nations Police Chief Darren Montour said the community is sick of the violence and fear brought in by the illegal drug trade on Six. “Enough is enough”, he said. But is it enough? When it comes to the financial needs of the Six Nations community, and our capacity to police ourselves, independently, safely, ethically - when will it ever be enough? If you look at the com-

munity statistics — Six Nations has a comparable population and geography to the Ontario community of Ingersoll. However, because of jurisdictional issues facing crimes actually being prosecuted at courts and a criminal myth out there that Six Nations is a “lawless territory”, the community has a 300% higher risk of criminality than Ingersoll. Is the problem then, truly at the feet of Six Nations Police being underfunded, understaffed and lacking capacity? Or is it, as Indigenous people in Canada have been crying out for decades, a systemic failure within the justice system? Just after the acquittal of Gerald Stanley for the death of Colton Boushie, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave an emergen-

cy impassioned speech, commissioning change in the Justice System for Indigenous Canadians. Politicians across the country raised a fist in solidarity for that call. While Six Nations Police are likely grateful for $1.5 million dollars to help carry out their work — is it enough? Nope. So what is needed? What will be enough? There is needed change at the provincial level — for the solicitor general to empower reserve police to act on reserve bylaws and seek regional courts to prosecute those in violation. In fact, the correct solution is something our reserve has been telling provincial officials we need for decades — an on-reserve one-day court where our on-reserve issues can be heard and

tried. The hunger for justice for things like residency by-law violations, family disputes over estates that have been left unsettled for decades and animal control violations is a real demand on the territory. So while the immediate need for a guns and gangs initiative is a critical need — our community can not continue to be left in investigative triage by police due to a lack of change at the government level and a lack of funding. Recently, the community has watched while our members have become the victims of gun violence, murders, sexual assaults, overdose deaths and more. The social contracts that exist between us as residents and governments as leadership is an unspoken agreement

that we will all follow the rules of good behaviour so long as there is a plan in place for protecting the people. If that protection is not available to us, there is little to convince the people to follow those rules of good behaviour — and so the cycle of violence continues. Chronic underfunding will always result in political distress for Six Nations. So while the provincial government sits back and acts like Six Nations is fully responsible for “getting our act together” and sorting out our governance issues while they nominally invest in public safety ahead of a provincial election — can equally be seen as enabling a level of dysfunction they are not willing to, or capable of, resolving before election day.

What is needed? Strong, local leadership that will demand investment in social change for Six Nations. Committed relationships with surrounding provincial and federal elected officials to partner together in real, long-term initiatives to bring the standard of living for Six Nations to par with the rest of Southern Ontario. Making safe spaces for the voices of Six Nations residents that are being silenced in fear by organized crime on the territory so their concerns can be addressed. Taking all of that and then looking at how the tripartite policing agreement that is currently not serving Six Nations real, on the ground needs must change and then making that change a reality.

Letter to the editor: calling on leaders to end violence on Six Nations She:kon Community leaders, band council, Chief Hill, and to whom else it may concern,

I am a young woman that has grown up on the Six Nations reserve, and I am reaching out in concern of the state our community is in. I have become increasingly more concerned for the well-being and safety for myself, my family, friends and especially the younger generations growing up. These past few years I have had young friends and acquaintances pass away from various trag-

edies. I think everyone in this community has experienced some kind of tragedy. Many of these tragedies I believe are preventable. Gun violence and drug abuse have become rampant and it feels like nothing is being done. Our community is caught in a chokehold of fear and violence and it saddens me to see news of the constant deaths that seem to occur. It feels like every day I wake up and see more depressing news of our people committing harm and crime towards each other.

My family experienced a break in a few years ago and this event affects us all still. There are nights when I have trouble falling asleep, afraid of the noises outside my home, wondering what or who could be out there. This fear is constantly in the back of our minds. No person should have to live in fear in their own community, let alone their own homes. As a young indigenous woman I am very well aware of the high rates of violence against women that look like me, which makes me live my life with that anxiety in the back of

my mind. Whenever I see another woman experiencing violence I can’t help but be afraid for my own life. The recent attack of Autumn Martin has shaken my spirit and the lack of justice and leadership response has saddened me deeply. Knowing that such a heinous crime could be committed in my community disappoints me and has spread doubt and loneliness amongst women. It has manifested fear and doubt within me. I do not believe the individuals responsible should be walking freely

within our community. This sends a message to others that this type of behaviour is acceptable and that they are able to get away with such crimes. Autumn and every woman deserves to feel safe and supported within the community. In our culture we are taught that women are life givers and are sacred. But how are we to believe that when there is constant news of the community letting our women down? How are we supposed to teach the young Haudenosaunee boys and girls that violence is not our

Humidi-don’t mind if I do Make your indoor plants thrive with a humidifier JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Green Tip: Group your plants together. Your plants will benefit from each other’s humidity. Just keep an eye out for pests as they spread easily when plants are grouped together. Just when we thought it was safe to start outdoor planting, southern Ontario’s unpredictable weather struck again last week and changed our long weekend plans. Who knows when we’ll be able to start now but in the meantime, how strong is your humidifier game? Ask any semi-intense indoor plant parent whether or not you should have humidifiers running in your home and they will likely say, Yes, and tell you all about their inhome setup. Whether running a humidifier makes your plants any happier than without running one depends on the climate of your home, the type of humidifier you have and the type of plants you’re growing. First off, what is a humidifier? Most of us are more familiar with dehumidifiers, an appliance that takes moisture out of the air when it is too humid. Humidifiers add moisture to the air when it is too dry. Generally, people use humidifiers in the wintertime to combat the

dryness of winter air, but if your home is still dry in the summer, humidifiers can come in handy.

Ultrasonic vs. evaporative

Most consumer humidifiers are either Ultrasonic or Evaporative. Ultrasonic humidifiers do not need wicks and are nearly silent, according to aircareproducts.com. But evaporative models are better for larger spaces and produce more humidity. If you just want added humidity in your plant room, then a single room evaporative or ultrasonic model is a good choice. Ultrasonic humidifiers expel an ultra-fine mist into the air through high-frequency sound vibrations of two inner ceramic plates. After the tiny water droplets are released into the room, they evaporate. As they continue to release into the room, they increase the humidity in the space. Evaporative humidifiers work quite differently from ultrasonic humidifiers. They rely on evaporation to increase the moisture content in a room. “When you place a large bowl of water in a room, the water will evaporate and make the room more humid. Evaporative humidifiers speed up this natural process of evaporation by using a fan and a wick filter. The fan in the humidifier pulls in air

Calathea prefers humidity levels between 50 per cent to 60 per cent. Don't let them dry out. MAGALI MERZOUGUI ON UNSPLASH

and blows it through the wick filter at the humidifier’s base. This causes the water to evaporate and turn into water vapour. The water vapour is then pushed into the room to increase its humidity,” says bobvila.com. Do they help?

Most plants will benefit from extra humidity, especially if you are trying to grow any sort of tropical plant indoors. By increasing the humidity in your home, your plants are

likelier to grow better and have lusher leaves and thicker foliage. Some plants aren’t moisture-loving, like the snake plant or jade plant. These kinds of plants are easy to grow and tolerate dry air. A humidifier won’t be a necessity in your home for these guys, but it wouldn’t cause them any harm either. On the other hand, while some tropical plants will survive without a humidifier, some need very high levels of humidity in the air to grow new

leaves, keep their bright colours and thrive. Some of these plants and their favourite humidity levels are: Alocasia: With its striking arrowhead leaves and bold patterning, Alocasia is the happiest at 70 per cent humidity level. Orchid: Orchids love high humidity levels but don’t like being watered much, so they are good plants to grow if you can keep them humid but not wet. Humidity level: 50 per cent to 70 per cent. Calathea: Ideally,

calathea prefers humidity levels between 50 per cent to 60 per cent. Don't let them dry out. Monstera: Their favourite humidity levels are between 60 per cent to 80 per cent, with six hours of bright and indirect sunlight throughout the day.

Earth Day Canada is launching its 2022 campaign, under the theme “Remedy together”. The media campaign invites those who live with eco-anxiety, a mental health issue affecting Canadians concerned about the future of our planet, to call in sick on April 22nd. Canadians are invited to use this time to take care of themselves and each other by rallying around positive collective action for the planet. “The results of the most recent polls are disturbing: 45% of Canadians live with eco-anxiety. It’s time for everyone to equip themselves with the tools they need to heal. We want everyone to take action as a community: a powerful remedy for eco-anxiety. Given the current situation, to acknowledge those feelings, come together and take action on April 22nd is the thing to do to take care of ourselves. The planet needs us to be in good shape.” says Valérie Mallamo, Executive Director of Earth Day Canada. “The climate crisis and the mental health crisis are interrelated. Eco-anxiety is our internal alarm, confirming that we are personally affected by climate change. It is a normal reaction and perhaps desirable, because it pushes us to seek solutions, to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change in our communities. It can become invasive, but it is possible to learn to live with eco-anxiety, and transform it into a source of energy, an energy that can motivate us to act and to mobilize others around us.” explains Isabelle

April 22 is Earth Day and this year the annual event is taking a look at the fear and stress brought on the minds of earth’s residents in the face of the predicted changes to the environment due to human impact. Researchers say that up to 70% of respondents felt worried about climate change and about half reported feeling “helpless” when it comes to climate change. This is being described as ‘eco-anxiety’, and is the focus of this year’s Earth Day. The American Psychiatric Association describes eco-anxiety as a “chronic fear of environmental doom”. “The impacts of climate change on people’s physical, mental and community health rise directly and indirectly. Some human health effects stem directly from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change, like floods, storms, wildfires and heatwaves. Other effects surface more gradually from changing temperatures and rising sea levels that cause forced migration. Weakened infrastructure and less secure food systems are examples of indirect climate impacts on society’s physical and mental health,” this from a 2017 study by the APA on how mental health is impacted by climate change. The report says that as climate change contributes to traumatic weather events, compounding stress can bring healthy people to a place of mental illness. That trauma can drive people to substance abuse, depression, PTSD and a slew of other vulnerabilities that are directly the result of climate change. Because climate change is a phenomenon that affects us regionally, communities are likely to feel the brunt of the pain as well — meaning there is an inherent risk to communities experiencing climate related emergencies and disasters to see an increase in violence, crime, aggression and social instability. Eco-anxiety can also be present among individuals who have a heightened sense of awareness or responsibility about what

is happening with the state of the environment and it’s predicted trajectory if corporations and governments don’t act now to make positive change. The fear of an impending ecological disaster can leave people feeling helpless, guilty and angry with the past, current and future generations dealings with the environment. Researchers also found that indigenous communities are at a greater risk of vulnerability when it comes to eco-anxiety as those communities tend to be more connected to geographic areas where their homes, livelihood and traditions are tied to lands that may be severely affected by climate change. But there are ways to manage eco-anxiety. Volunteering to raise awareness about how to mitigate climate change in your community can help. Making good choices to do business with companies that are environmentally responsible with their production practices, waste management and carbon footprint can help. Even choosing to follow a sustainable diet with less dairy and meat can balance your individual impacts on climate change and bring a sense of individual control and positive contribution back into focus, and alleviate eco-anxiety symptoms. It’s also important to remain positive and remember that the earth, and mankind are resilient. Spending time outside with nature, connecting with the earth and bringing that practise into your everyday life can help shift your energy and focus. In turn, that can bring inspiration and new perspectives on how you can help your family and others make better choices for the earth. If feelings of anxiety directly connected to the environment, climate disasters or fear of the future are overwhelming and disrupting your everyday life — it is important to seek professional help. Your family doctor, a local counselling service or traditional teachers can provide you guidance on where to find help. Also reaching out to community groups can be a huge assistance for those feelings of eco-anxiety.

Human Rights Commission joins call for public inquiry on sexual violence in prisons The Canadian Press OTTAWA — The Canadian Human Rights Commission says Canada needs an independent public inquiry to address serious issues of sexual violence and coercion in federal prisons for women. The commission is adding its weight to the call for such an inquiry made a year ago by the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies. The commission is ``deeply concerned'' by reports about sexual coercion, violence and abuse in federal correctional institutions and a lack of action to address the problem, said Chief Commissioner Marie-Claude Landry. ``A prison sentence deprives a person of their right to liberty, but it does not deprive them of their right to security. Sexual coercion and violence in prison is unacceptable and criminal,'' Landry said, adding that Correctional Service Canada is obliged to protect and support the victims of these crimes. The statement comes 10 days after a former prison guard at the Nova Institution for Women in

Truro, N.S., pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three women while they were inmates. ``We cannot expect the victims to report incidents of sexual coercion and violence without the proper supports and mechanisms in place to protect them from reprisal,'' Landry said. Sexual coercion refers to any non-consensual sexual act. It can range from unwanted kissing, sexual touching to forced sexual intercourse, according to a definition from Canada's prison watchdog. There are ``considerable gaps'' in how the federal correctional service investigates and prevents sexually problematic behaviours behind bars, according to the Office of the Correctional Investigator's latest annual report. Correctional Investigator Ivan Zinger recommended the public safety minister fund a national study into the prevalence of sexual coercion and violence, conducted by independent experts. In January, Public Safety Canada posted a request for proposals to have a contractor explore just that, to identify the ``nature

and extent'' of the problem among inmates who are Indigenous, racialized or otherwise at-risk, and suggest ways to intervene and prevent these crimes. That request closed in February. The next step is a pilot study, which is scheduled to be completed by December at the latest, said Alexander Cohen, press secretary for Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino. A national study is set to begin in early 2023 and will be completed within a year, said Cohen in a statement Wednesday. Zinger also recommended the government introduce legislation similar to the United States' Prison Rape Elimination Act, which requires prisons to enforce a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual assault, and collect data on incidents that do occur. Despite those recommendations, his latest report said the office ``has observed no appreciable difference'' in how correctional services prevents, tracks or manages these incidents, and continues to get complaints from inmates who have witnessed or experienced sexual coercion and violence.

``We continue to hear cases of alleged perpetrators simply being shuffled around within and between institutions as the preferred method for 'resolving' formal complaints of sexually problematic behaviours,'' the office said. ``The Correctional Service of Canada has zero tolerance for violence in its institutions and we take all allegations of sexual coercion and violence very seriously,'' said spokesperson Esme Bailey. Victims or witnesses of inappropriate behaviours have many ways to report, including the offender complaint and grievance system, Bailey said. She said allegations of sexual coercion and violence must be investigated, and employees have to contact police immediately about any incidents or allegations of misconduct that could be a criminal offence. In its response to the investigator's report, Correctional Service Canada said it's developing a policy in May on sexual coercion and violence in its institutions, which will provide clear direction to staff on how they must respond.

Woman says hospital broke her baby's leg The Canadian Press REGINA — A woman says her premature baby's leg was broken in hospital and the Saskatchewan Health Authority has ignored her plea for an explanation. Teelah Soosay said her seven-month-old baby, Tobias, has been in the Jim Pattinson Children's Hospital in Saskatoon since his birth in September. She said on April 7 she discovered her child was in a full leg cast, which he hadn't had when she saw him three days earlier. ``When I walked in his leg was covered up. I uncovered him to pick him up and found out he had a whole leg cast, and it scared me,'' Soosay said Wednesday in Saskatoon. Soosay said she asked the on-duty physician what happened, but hasn't been able to get an answer from the doctor or the health authority. ``Early that morning they noticed he was in pain because of his leg, and they took him down for X-rays to find out that his femur bone was broken, and they told me it was a slight break,'' Soosay said.

``I asked how it happened and they said 'I don't know.' They didn't give me an answer.'' A spokesperson said the health authority is sorry about the mother's concerns, is in contact with the family and is working to ensure appropriate medical investigations are done. The health authority said it cannot comment further due to privacy issues. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, which represents 74 First Nations in the province, said it wants to work with the health authority during its investigation. ``A child doesn't just break his leg by accident or by sitting in a crib,'' the federation's vice-chief David Pratt said. ``We need to determine what happened, and this can't be covered up.'' Kelly Wuttunee, the lawyer representing the Soosay family, said they are also calling on the provincial and federal government to enforce the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action from 12 to 84.

Wolastoqey chiefs want return of artifacts from Museum The Canadian Press FREDERICTON — The six chiefs of the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick want the return of Indigenous artifacts from the New Brunswick Museum. In a statement Thursday, the chiefs called on Aboriginal Affairs Minister Arlene Dunn to begin the process of returning the unspecified items. The museum recently announced the closure of its exhibition space in

Market Square in Saint John and said artifacts were being placed in storage. The Wolastoqey chiefs say they are concerned about what the closure means for the fate of items that have significant cultural value, adding that it's time they are returned to their ``rightful owners.'' ``The thought that our culture, our history, is languishing in some basement, draped in bubble wrap, is unbear-

able,'' Chief Ross Perley of Neqotkuk First Nation wrote. ``We have a responsibility to our past, and to our future generations, to take action.'' In a statement late Thursday, the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture and the Department of Aboriginal Affairs said they had received the request from the chiefs and a response would be shared with them in due course. ``Facilities and exhibi-

tions renewal are a crucial phase in every institution's operational cycle, and the New Brunswick Museum is entering into this phase,'' the statement said. ``Currently, museum staff are working to prepare collections for any required moves as part of this project. None of the Indigenous artifacts housed at the museum have been packed or moved.'' The premier announced a commitment to the

New Brunswick Museum during his recent State of The Province address. The details have yet to be announced. The chiefs say members of their community have held discussions dating back years with the province regarding the repatriation of artifacts, including human remains, from repositories in New Brunswick, in other provinces and around the world. They say the discussions came to a

halt more than a year ago when they were told the provincial government was conducting an internal review of First Nations initiatives. The government statement says Minister Dunn and Minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture Tammy Scott-Wallace fully support reconvening the Archeology Bilateral Table, as the Wolastoqey Chiefs have requested.

Two northern Ontario First Nations announced Thursday they are taking another step toward all-season road access to potential mining sites in the Ring of Fire. The region about 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay is said to be rich in critical minerals and the province has made long-standing promises to develop and mine the area. Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations are co-leading the planning of a Northern Road Link project, which the province said is the final piece of critical road infrastructure. The two First Nations

said they will be submitting a terms of reference for an environmental assessment for the proposed road. Chief Bruce Achneepineskum of the Marten Falls First Nation said the project represents a potentially bright future for generations to come. ``We are leading the Northern Road Link because the project is in our traditional territory and we are exercising our right to self-determination,'' he said in a statement. Premier Doug Ford said the roadway will form a vital connection for First Nation communities in the north.

Manitoba Metis delegation heads to Rome for meeting with Pope The Canadian Press WINNIPEG — A Metis group from Manitoba was flying to Rome on Monday ahead of a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican later this week. The delegation from the Manitoba Metis Federation on Thursday will be the first to meet the head of the Roman Catholic Church since he apologized to Indigenous people for the deplorable conduct of church members involved in residential schools. The Pope apologized at the Vatican early this month following a week of meetings with Metis, Inuit and First Nations delegates. The Manitoba Metis Federation had a separate meeting organized with Francis. Delegates include residential school survivors, elders and youth. David Chartrand, the federation's president, says many Metis are deeply connected to the church. ``Now that His Holiness

has issued an apology to all Indigenous peoples, we can focus our meeting on the relationship between the Red River Metis and the Catholic Church _ past, present, and future,'' Chartrand said in a news release Monday. Some bishops will be accompanying the Manitoba Metis delegates to the Vatican. ``It is the desire of all the Bishops in Canada to move forward with reconciliation and to build strong relationships with Canada's Indigenous Peoples,'' Richard Gagnon, Archbishop of Winnipeg, said in a news release. An estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools, more than 60 per cent of which were run by the Catholic Church. On April 1, the pontiff stood before a room of nearly 200 Indigenous delegates and asked for God's forgiveness for the actions of the Catholic Church. ``I want to say to you with all my heart: I am

very sorry,'' Francis said in Italian. ``And I join my brothers, the Canadian bishops, in asking your pardon.'' Francis also said he would come to Canada, possibly this summer. Chartrand said he will request the Pope come to Manitoba to ``understand why we need to renew our relationship, particularly in our small and remote communities, many of which the church is a central part of.'' A Catholic priest played a significant role in Metis leader Louis Riel's founding of what would become Manitoba. Rev. Noel-Joseph Ritchot led the delegation Riel sent to Ottawa to negotiate the provisional government's entry into Confederation. Riel himself was Catholic but also wrote about his issues with the church. The Manitoba Metis Federation organized the separate meeting with the Pope after the group withdrew from the Metis National Council in 2021 following years of internal conflict.
