SIX NATIONS — The fundraising campaign to restore the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School and turn it into a museum has raised the $23.5 million dollars it needed, four years ahead of schedule. The WCC Executive Director Janis Monture outlined the funds in a community newsletter, saying that $13.3 million came from the Ontario government, $8.2 million came from the federal government, and $776,134 was given by municipal governments. An incredible $2,023,678.45 — or 8.3% of the entire fundraising goal has been raised from nearly 4000 individuals, organizations and corporate donors. Of those supporters — 41% are individuals, 32.4% came from businesses, 12.7% was from community and service organizations, 7.5% from charities and foundations, 5.4% from schools or educational institutions and

Thank you to our donors, without whose overwhelming generosity and support we would not have been able to successfully raise the funds to complete this restoration. Thank you to our government partners who ensured that this important work did not go unnoticed and that it would remain a legacy. But most importantly, to the Survivors of the Mohawk Institute Residential School, those who were forced to be at this institution - we cannot thank you enough for your guidance these last six years, and for trusting us with your truths. Woodland will continue to share these truths and to Share the Evidence with the rest of the world in late 2024 when we hope to re-open the building as a testament to this dark chapter in history.”

The school held a ground-breaking ceremony there two months ago to mark the occasion. “We were all deeply saddened to see someone choose to target our school where our youth come to feel safe,” said Chief Laforme. “This situation has devastated our community as a whole and we want to assure students, parents and the community that we are doing everything we can to assist the OPP with their continuing investigation into this matter.” Not much is known about “Hollow 6 Gang” or where they originate, but
social media was buzzing with chatter that it’s a group of youths on Six Nations. A security alarm went off in the early morning hours of Monday, Apr. 25 alerting them of the danger. OPP received the report around 5 a.m. When police arrived, they saw several windows had been smashed and graffiti spray painted all over the school.

Polytech reaches accreditation DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Six Nations Polytechnic has another notch on its belt, this time, acquiring accreditation through the Indigenous Advanced Education and Skills Council (IAESC). In 2020, SNP attained organizational approval (accreditation) through the IAESC for a period of ten years. SNP held a special ceremony to mark the accreditation at its Brantford campus last Friday. SNP is now eligible to grant certificates, diplomas and degrees with the same rigour and quality as publicly-funded colleges and universities. SNP is joined by eight other Indigenous Institutions across Ontario that now make up a third tier in Ontario post-secondary education alongside colleges and universities. SNP holds institutional accreditation through IAESC and internationally through the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium
(WINHEC). At the program level, SNP’s signature Bachelor of Arts in Ogwehoweh Languages degree program holds Ministerial consent and is accredited through the Post-Secondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB). With the expansion into Brantford, the school is helping to fill a critical need for trades training in the area. SNP holds Training Delivery Agency (TDA) status for apprenticeships and is an approved delivery agency for three trades. SNP’s STEAM Academy offers an innovative Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) to college program in partnership with IBM and Mohawk College. SNP is also an approved provider of Additional Qualification (AQ) courses with the Ontario College of Teachers. This fall, SNP will be launching an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Ogwehoweh Languages program, with a number of additional programs in development at the certificate, diploma, and degree levels. “SNP has a responsibility
to maintain the trust and confidence of the communities we serve,” said SNP President Rebecca Jamison. “ Accreditation processes documents and affirm the quality of its programs, she said, which are, “important benchmarks for continued quality assurance. The IAESC accreditation is significant as SNP will now be able to expand our contributions to quality-assured Indigenous education in Ontario.” For Six Nations Polytechnic, the road to recognition has been long. “As part of the board, I am pleased that SNP stays true to the purpose to make constant efforts to ensure the quality of all our programs,” said Board Chair Kevin “Bubba” Martin. Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill said Six Nations Polytechnic is a “huge success.” “It just goes to show even further the success that Six Nations Polytech has had over the near 30 years of its operation,” he said. “That’s a huge honour and success in itself.”

Powwow moves from Chiefswood to Speedway Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow changes location after 40 years JACE KOBLUN
jace@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
The Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow will no longer be held at Chiefswood Park. Event organizers shared last week that the powwow will take place at the Ohsweken Speedway. “Nya:weh to Chiefswood Park where we called home for over 40 years and to Six Nations Council for their continued support,” said Charlene Bomberry, powwow committee member, in an April 19 press release. “Please watch out on our website and social media for more information.” Bomberry told the Two Row Times that the main reason for the powwow’s change of location is due to lack of space at the park. “It’s too small over there now so we decided we needed a spot with more space for parking
and vendors,” said Bomberry. “There’s been renovations made at the park in the last few years which has taken up parking spots and areas that we would normally use for vendors. There is plenty of parking at the speedway and it will be much more bright.” Since this is the first year the powwow has been held since the COVID-19 pandemic and the location is changing, Bomberry said she and many others are excited to get together again. “We’re most excited to see everyone again. Dancers, vendors, visitors, friends and family—it’s going to be so nice having everyone come back out. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to attending the powwow this summer,” said Bomberry. Bomberry said that normally there are powwow events on the Friday night, but there will not be any this year since the Speedway has a race scheduled.

First Nations cable to install fibre optic DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
First Nations Cable could begin the installation of fibre optic cables throughout the territory by June. Jeff Thomas, president of First Nations Cable/Six Nations Internet, announced that the company got approved for the required financing at council’s political liaison meeting Monday morning. “I guess everybody heard – we got some good news,” he told council. “We did get our financing. It’s always been the issue for us. We always knew the technology but trying to get the money here on reserve is very tough.” He said it will take about two years to install fibre optic Internet cables to the bulk of the reserve. “We found out in March (about the financing approval),” said Thomas. “It’s all very exciting.” Fibre optics will provide the community exponentially faster Internet services. The need for high-speed Internet became readily apparent during the pandemic in the last two years, as a large portion of residents had to work and learn from home. Unreliable and spotty
Internet connections led to many connectivity issues for large portions of Six Nations students in the mostly rural areas of the reserve, as well as office employees who had to rely on technology and online meetings during pandemic lockdowns to carry on business. Thomas brought in two other partners to help with the project: Six Nations residents Miles Hill and Gord Hill. With political help from Six Nations elected council and area politicians, they were able to get approval and all the necessary permits to get the green light, said Thomas. “We’re going to bring hydro one in and a few others are going to come in,” said Thomas. As far as the project goes, they’re starting to purchase equipment and materials. But material delivery times are about 14 to 16 weeks out, he said, but that’s an improvement over last year’s wait times. Also, Thomas said the cost of the project is going to be an issue and their original estimates from last year have gone up exponentially due to the astronomical inflation rate in the past two years, causing a sharp rise in gas prices, wages and other goods and services.

COMMUNITY AWARENESS 2022 Six Nations Elected Council read an open letter from a young Six Nations woman during this week’s general council meeting Tuesday night hoping to begin a community conversation about the fear that has arisen on the territory due to an increase in gun violence, retaliatory attacks and drugs. At the council meeting, Councillor Nathan Wright summarized those sentiments saying that Six Nations residents ‘need a safe place to live’. This is the foundational problem — for many, Six Nations feels like it is no longer a safe place to live. The onus for that is, in part, squarely on the federal and provincial governments for perpetually underfunding Six Nations Police. The per capita police spending each year on Six Nations is less than half of what is invested for police services in the rest of the Canadian population. Similarly — our community has been armed with less than half the number of officers that other communities in southern Ontario of a similar size are provided with. According to band membership data — there are 9247 band members over the age of 19 living here. In contrast — there are 3645 children on Six Nations, under the age of 19, who are in need of protection. That is 3645 youth who need our guidance, our teaching — and have the right to a safe community to grow up in. Creating that safe space is critical. No one should
be punished with retaliation for doing the work. According to Statistics Canada, in 2020 Six nations reported violent crime at a rate of 1859 per 100,000. The provincial average is 792 per 100,000. Our reserve has a violent crime rate that two times higher than the national average. That high rate is not new. TRT previously reported that from 20122014, Six Nations Police reported four murder offences, 92 complaints of sexual assault, 572 domestic assaults, and 129 calls regarding firearms offences. Six Nations Police typically issues a police report every year but due to the pandemic that public report was not published for 2020 or 2021. The elected council says they want to it to be community-led. It's a nice thought in theory but is is socially responsible to place the onus on those who are already being targeted for retribution if they speak up? We need a virtual town hall. Police can directly speak to the people and report the unpublished data for 2020 and 2021. Allow band members to annonymously bring forward concerns. People need a safe space to break the silence that is enabling the ongoing violence, without being targeted for speaking up. Yes, community involvement is needed, but leadership must ensure community safety in participation.

Uniting and healing through community garden DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Food prices are soaring. The gas to get the food has soared in cost. The knowledge of how to grow the food, harvest it, and save it has been lost for many. People are starving for good food. Groceries are becoming next to impossible to afford for working class families. We are coming out of a two-year pandemic that turned our world upside down. But there has been no exit plan. Addiction rates rose, families were torn apart, mental illness has skyrocketed, there has been worldwide political upheaval not seen in almost seven decades and inflation is at its highest
level in four decades. The residual fallout from the pandemic is being felt. The community has witnessed an increase in violent attacks against each other, as told by the Six Nations Police and local family violence prevention agencies. With all this going on, one Six Nations man is looking to make a small change to bring some peace back into the community. “I just thought the things that’s going on in the world, it’s time to start looking after ourselves,” said Chad General, who is on a mission to create a three-acre community garden in the coming weeks for the entire community’s benefit. General is inviting everyone in the community

Language discussed at event launching UN decade STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — Gov. Gen. Mary Simon says she wants to see the language of Inuktitut not just survive, but grow. The Inuk leader, who became the first Indigenous person in Canada appointed to the role last year, says those who can speak it should do so whenever they can. She used herself as an example, saying she made the point of speaking Inuktitut during her installation as the country's 30th Governor General and while delivering last fall's throne speech. Simon addressed the issue of preserving Indigenous languages during
a speech today in Ottawa at an event launching the UN decade of Indigenous languages. Growing up, Simon says she learned English as a second language while attending a federal Indian day school, where she wasn't allowed to speak Inuktitut. She says Indigenous people never chose to give up their languages and instead had many of them taken away by ``force'' through government and church-led assimilation policies like the residential school system. In delivering her remarks, Simon switched between speaking Inuktitut and English as well as some basic French, which she says she's still working on.
to participate in growing, donating, and caring for the garden and then – enjoying the fruits of their labour for free. It will be a labour of love and a way to bring people back together, said General. Like many others, he’s tired of the violence he’s seen in the community and he believes planting together and working together can help reunite people and mend old wounds. “I’m hoping that this helps to get us all back together,” said General. “It’s all about community. That’s why we have our longhouses. It’s better for our community. I think we need to get our connection back together. We need to get back to each where we
have that respect for each other. If you don’t know each other, you don’t give a (darn) about each other.” The land for the garden has already been donated by his brother. It’s a threeacre plot on Sixth Line Road near Oneida Road. Local raceway owner and community philanthropist Glenn Styres has already agreed to donate the labour and equipment needed to prepare the soil for planting in the coming weeks. But General wants more people to get involved. He held a community meeting at the Onondaga Longhouse on Mar. 30 and not many people showed up. But he’s ready to get started. General has already ac-
quired some seeds and he envisions the community planting such staples as tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cucumbers and other plants that people can preserve over the winter. “I’m just going to go ahead and go forward with it. I know it’s needed. Why not involve the whole community?” The garden will also provide community members with free, fresh summer seasonal produce that is normally very expensive, such as lettuce and peppers. “It’s free. It’s a community garden. We’re doing it for each other.” And just the act of working outside in the soil is healing, said General. “That’s part of our con-
nection back to the earth. It’s helped me. Getting outside and doing it with the family felt good, mentally, getting out there, watching that garden come about from seed to plant. We need to share this because even a lot of our kids aren’t aware how to work the land.” A lot of community members have already helped with the legwork of getting it started. After this year, General is hoping to expand the garden, hopefully with the use of some band-owned land that could be donated. Anyone interested in getting involved can contact General via email at generalchad771@yahoo. com.

Ryerson University changes its name The Canadian Press TORONTO — Ryerson University is changing its name to Toronto Metropolitan University after its board of governors approved the move today. The downtown Toronto university, which was named after an architect of Canada's residential school system, had faced growing calls to change its name. School president Mohamed Lachemi says he brought the new name to the university's board and they approved it. In a letter to the school community, he says the new name reflects that the school is located in the heart of Canada's largest and most diverse city, which makes it a gathering place for people from all over the world. He says he is grateful to the members of a committee that was tasked with suggesting a new name for their dedication to proposing one that will unify the school commu-
nity. ``I want to assure everyone that our new name is not about erasing our history,'' he says. ``Our values have long defined who we are and they will always guide where we are going. Our values are the basis upon which we have built our uniquely vibrant, diverse and intentionally inclusive culture.'' Last August, the school's board of governors approved a motion to accept all 22 recommendations from a special task force, including one to rename the institution. The task force was formed in November 2020 to examine and address the legacy of Egerton Ryerson, who helped design both the public and residential school systems in Canada. It recommended renaming the institution in a process that ``engages with community members and university stakeholders.''

The Canadian Press SURREY, B.C. — An Indigenous civilian monitor has been appointed to look over a report by British Columbia's police watchdog following the RCMP shooting death of a 28-year-old man last year. Julian Jones was a member of the Tla-oqui-aht First Nation on Vancouver Island and the Independent Investigations Office says in a news release that the nation's chief, Thomas George, will receive unfettered access to all of its investigative materials. The office said Jones was killed by officers after they responded to a report of a woman being held against her will on Meares Island, near Tofino. This is the first time an Indigenous civilian monitor has been appointed in such a case.

Day 8: Hope remains that missing Saskatchewan boy is still alive CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
RED EARTH CREE NATION — The search for a five-year-old Saskatchewan boy, missing in the province's north for more than a week, is still being treated as a rescue mission. Chief Fabian Head of the
Red Earth Cree Nation, 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, says the search will not stop until Frank Young is found. ``We won't give up hope,'' Head said at a news conference Tuesday. In recent days, the search has become more complex as annual spring runoff has made the Carrot River rise several metres,
stalling search efforts by boat, he said. Sgt. Richard Tonge of the Carrot River RCMP detachment said he doesn't know if Frank is alive, but search teams have not given up hope. ``Previous searches show us humans can be incredibly resilient, and that is why our efforts continue, and we're doing everything
we possibly can to find Frank,'' Tonge said. ``We will do everything we can to find him alive.'' Family last saw Frank about noon on April 19 outside his aunt and uncle's home where he was living. Family members began looking for him about 30 minutes later. ``They are in distress,'' said Head. ``They haven't
had rest and sleep since April 19. They're emotionally, physically, mentally fatigued.'' Frank is said to have been spotted about 2:30 p.m. the same day by another community member who has come forward, Mounties said. ``In our discussions with the family, Frank does not have a history of wandering

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has awarded Phase 2 of the Highways 6 and 401 Improvements between Hamilton and Guelph (G.W.P. 3042-14-00) to Dufferin Construction and WSP Canada Inc. to complete the Class Environmental Assessment, Detail Design and Construction of the new interchange on Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway), north of Highway 401 (the Project, G.W.P. 3059-20-00), as shown in the key plan above. Subject to approvals, utility relocations are anticipated to begin in 2022, followed by construction of the Project after the Detail Design is complete. It is expected that construction will be finished by late 2025. Additional information can be found on the new Project website at: highway6midblock.ca. The Project includes: • A new interchange on the Hanlon Expressway north of Wellington Road 34, including a new road to connect the new interchange to Concession Road 7 and to Wellington Road 34; • Removal of the signalized intersection on the Hanlon Expressway at Wellington Road 34 and the addition of a new bridge over the Hanlon Expressway for Wellington Road 34 traffic; • Reconstruction of Concession Road 7 between Wellington Road 34 and Maltby Road; • Closure of the Maltby Road / Concession Road 4 intersection with the Hanlon Expressway; • A new roundabout at the Wellington Road 34 and Concession Road 7 intersection; • Installation of new overhead sign structures, traffic signals and partial illumination; • Emergency and maintenance vehicle turnarounds along the Hanlon Expressway (one north of Maltby Road and one south of Wellington Road 34); • Drainage improvements such as infiltration ponds for stormwater management; and relocation of utilities.
THE PROCESS Building on the approved Individual Environmental Assessment, this study is being completed in accordance with the requirements of a Group ‘A’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). It is anticipated that two Design and Construction Reports (DCRs) will be prepared and made available for 30-day comment periods, with public notices advising of the start of the comment periods.

off,'' said Tonge. ``Frank does go to friends' houses in the community, near his own house.'' RCMP do not believe the boy has been abducted and there haven't been any sightings of him at community checkpoints set up around the First Nation. More than 200 volunteers have searched just over 90 square kilometres, including wooded areas, marshes and waterways. Air searches also continue. Head said about 200 houses in the Red Earth community have been searched by crews, who also checked inside canoes, sheds and crawl spaces in and around homes. Indigenous Services Canada is providing additional mental-health support for the family and community, he said. Frank's parents, who live in neighbouring Shoal Lake Cree Nation, are also distressed over their missing son. Shoal Lake Chief Marcel Head said the parents continue to receive counselling and help from elders. ``There's more questions than there are answers. Along with that, their frustrations and anxiety, it builds up,'' he said.
MP e-mail The Canadian Press
OTTAWA — A private email shows a Conservative MP calling an NDP-initiated study into violence against Indigenous women and girls ``disgraceful.'' The committee on the status of women, chaired by Conservative critic Karen Vecchio, emailed some of her Tory colleagues in Alberta several weeks ago seeking suggestions for potential witnesses. The email was inadvertently sent to the federal NDP. The party provided the initial email, along with a response received from Calgary MP Stephanie Kusie, to The Canadian Press. The response on April 22 shows Kusie, who does not sit on the committee, saying, ``In my opinion, this is disgraceful.'' She also added that companies contribute money to First Nations initiatives.

Indigenous, LGBTQ groups and sex workers criticize online hate bill services. A previous anti-hate law, introduced at the tail end of the last Parliament, died when the election was called. The government began public consultations on an updated law before the election campaign and has said introducing a bill is a priority. The feedback from the consultation, disclosed in the access to information request, is helping inform the expert panel set up by Rodriguez to consider how to frame a new law. ``While it is clear action needs to be taken on harmful online content we recognize the concerns expressed around unintended consequences if a thoughtful approach is not taken,'' said Ashley Michnowski, director of communications for Rodriguez. The law would be designed to clamp down on hate speech and abuse — including against women and racialized, Jewish, Muslim and LGBTQ Canadians — by blocking certain websites and forcing platforms to swiftly

OTTAWA — Members of the LGBTQ community, Indigenous people and racialized groups fear a proposed law tackling online harm could disproportionately curtail their online freedoms and even make them police targets, responses to a government consultation have warned. The documents, revealed through an access to information request, contain warnings that federal plans to curb online hate speech could lead to marginalized groups, including sex workers, being unfairly monitored and targeted by the police. Plans for an online hate law, now being considered by an expert panel appointed by Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, would give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service expanded powers to obtain subscriber information from companies. Online platforms may also have to report some posts to the police and security

remove hateful content. But Canadians from some of these groups said the internet is one of the few platforms where free speech is possible for them and that the law could curtail their rights. Darryl Carmichael, from the University of Calgary's law faculty, said in his response that the law risks curbs on racialized and marginalized groups, and could lead to their posts being misconstrued as harmful. ``Black Lives Matter posts have been mistakenly labelled hate speech and removed,'' he said, warning that posts such as those raising awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls could also be removed. ``The result is that the voices of the very groups you seek to protect would be further isolated,'' he said. Sex workers from across Canada warned that such a law could lead to sites they use to carry out safe sex work online being shut down if they are captured by curbs on harmful online sexual content. They also
raised fears of risk of arrest because of remarks made in their online sex work. The Safe Harbour Outreach Project, advocating for the rights of sex workers in Newfoundland and Labrador, warned that the bill could lead to LGBTQ and other marginalized groups being disproportionately harmed as well as sites ``crucial for sex workers' safety'' blocked. Its submission expressed fears the law could lead to censorship and mass reporting of many innocent people ``already demonized ? for their gender expression, race (and) sexuality.'' Some Indigenous people feared the bill could give more power to law enforcement agencies to target them, their speech and protest activities. The National Association of Friendship Centres, a network of community hubs offering programs and supports for urban Indigenous people, said ``Indigenous-led organizing, community and resistance have flourished online,'' with protests about ``resource extraction
and development'' relying on social media as ``a significant part of their communication strategy.'' ``These acts of resistance would easily be framed as anti-government or manifestations of Indigenous cyberterrorism,'' it said in its submission, warning of a ``risk of governing bodies weaponizing this legislation to identify protests as anti-government.'' Experts say an artificial intelligence algorithm may just pick on keywords, rather than the context or nuance of online remarks, leading to their being misconstrued and triggering the involvement of law enforcement. Michael Geist, the University of Ottawa's Canada Research Chair in internet law, who obtained the consultation documents through an access to information request, said ``leveraging AI and automated notifications could put these communities at risk.'' He said the level of criticism in the consultation, which includes a string of submissions complaining

about curbs on freedom of speech, should be a ``wakeup call for the government'' that they are taking the wrong approach. The National Council of Canadian Muslims warned that the government plans could ``inadvertently result in one of the most significant assaults on marginalized and racialized communities in years.'' Richard Marceau of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said a new law clamping down on online hate is necessary, but it ``should be properly calibrated to combat hate and make sure that freedom of expression is fully protected.'' The centre's submission said it is important that the involvement of law enforcement is proportionate and appropriate. Laura Scaffidi, a spokeswoman for the heritage minister, said the government ``took what we heard from Canadians seriously during the consultation that took place last year,'' which is why it has appointed an expert advisory group on how to tackle harmful online content.

TWO ROW TIMES
With consistently warm weather sure to make its way here eventually, it’s almost time for window shopping, more spring cleaning, auto repairs, eye exams and more. Locally owned businesses may be classified as “small,” but they have a big impact on the economy. The Government of Canada reports that the number of small businesses in Canada in 2020 was far greater than the number of medium and large businesses, accounting for 97.9 per cent of all the businesses in the country. Did you know that $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays. Supporting locally owned businesses is a great way to support a neighbour, but that’s not the only attraction. Here are several reasons to shop small.
Shopping local at small businesses does great things for the local economy TRT
Feel-good factor Doing something for others has an impact on the person on the receiving end, but also benefits the do-gooders. A November 2020 survey by Union Bank found that 72 per cent of Americans said supporting small businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a fellow neighbour. Create job opportunities Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, and it also keeps their employees afloat. Small businesses are the largest employers in Canada,
Keep more money in the community The Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays.
Enjoy a more local flavor National retailers and other businesses follow a global business model that may not allow for much customization, but small businesses can provide products or services that relate directly to the needs of the communities they serve. These same small businesses also may be more inclined to work with local vendors and start-ups than national companies that have global supply chains. These are just a few of the many reasons to seek out small businesses when in need of products or services.
