Six Nations of the Grand River is spending almost twice the amount of previous years to hold annual Bread and Cheese celebrations on Victoria Day weekend. Six Nations spent $55,450 in 2021 and $58,102 in 2020 on Bread and Cheese. At a finance meeting yesterday, Coun. Wendy Johnson said the estimated cost for this year’s Bread and Cheese celebration is close to $100,000. A previous council discussion indicated the cost is a lot higher due to skyrocketing inflation rates. The funds come from a pot known as the Ottawa Trust. The interest on the roughly $2 million fund is used annually to cover the cost of Bread and Cheese celebrations on the Queen Victoria Day weekend. Council’s finance committee made a motion to get the funds released at a meeting yesterday but confusion arose over some of the line items that money

from the annual release would cover. The finance committee was set to release the funds when confusion arose over a $3,200 line item going toward the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust. When Coun. Helen Miller questioned why the economic development trust was getting that money, nobody at the meeting could answer. Coun. Wendy Johnson said it was "pretty concerning" that the most senior financial staff that was present at the meeting could not identify what the $3,200 was for.

"We shouldn't have items written in if we can't answer questions about it,” she said. Councillors were hesitant to release the funds until they knew what the $3,200 was for. “I don't like making decisions based on guessing,” said Coun. Nathan Wright. Coun. Helen Miller was prepared to refuse to second the motion unless the $3,200 was taken out. “Like Wendy, I have concerns. Our finance people don't even know what this money is for. They should know. I have a concern about that.” The finance committee

is expected to re-visit the mystery $3,200 expense and bring it back to its next meeting. The motion passed but only after the $3,200 was removed. The money will be placed back into the allocation once the finance committee has a clear understanding what it’s for, council noted. Meanwhile, Bread and Cheese goes back to its roots this year, with the annual disbursement of bread and cheese to community members taking place in person at the Sports and Cultural Memorial Grounds. The beloved freshly baked bread and cheese was hand-delivered to resident’s homes in 2020 and a drive-thru event was held in 2021. The in-person event will include the annual parade through Ohsweken, a track and field competition, and fireworks, among other festivities. The handing out of bread and cheese harkens back to the tradition of Queen Victoria gifting Six Nations with blankets in appreciation of the people’s allegiance to the Crown.

Six Nations Child & Family Services (SNCFS) is hosting a community scavenger hunt for this year’s Community Awareness Month. According to its Facebook page, SNCFS has four locations in the community marked with
posters from its departments and is asking you to find them. “Find all four spots in the community and take a selfie at each spot,” said SNCFS. “Once you find all four posters, complete the survey and submit via Facebook’s direct messaging or comment section.” SNCFS said families without Facebook can call the organization at
519-445-0230 to arrange a time to show they found all four spots and completed the survey. Families will have from May 2 to May 25 to submit their entries to be entered into the draw. “Good luck to everyone, we hope you have a fun time with your family and enjoy all the community awareness events for the month,” said SNCFS. Here are some clues as to the posters’ whereabouts:
- The Band representatives unit is somewhere around the blue track. - The Family Support unit is somewhere in Six Nations Veterans’ Memorial Park. - The Clinical Services unit is somewhere near the ball diamonds - The Primary Prevention unit is somewhere near Child and Family Services.
Community Awareness Week runs from May 2 to May 27.

Economic development implements living wage for employees DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES
As the price of goods and services skyrocket and the cost of living becomes astronomically out of balance with the current minimum wage, Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Corp. has created its own minimum living wage at least a few dollars higher an hour than the provincial wage. The living wage - starting at $18 an hour - was implemented on Mar. 13
this year. SNGRDC said it has had trouble attracting and retaining employees. SNGRDC says it hopes the increased living wage will provide employees an opportunity “to earn an income that can support a good quality of life.” “One of our aspirational goals is to become the local employer of choice,” said SNGRDC President Matt Jamieson. “In addition to our new living wage commitment, we also promote employee satisfaction through a number of offerings such as competitive benefits, pension, job shadowing,
tuition reimbursement, our employee recognition program, and our recently implemented mentorship program.” All permanent frontline employees will receive a starting wage of $18 per hour and increase to $19 per hour following the successful completion of a three-month probationary period. SNGRDC also offers an attendance incentive of $1 per hour among other benefits. “It blew me away,” said employee Erin Porter. “I have a family of five and help care for some of my siblings so I’ve felt this
increase. With the wage increase I will be able to extend my weekly grocery bill budget, pay for my daughters dental procedures & their sports for the summer.” The increase amounts to about $2 to $3 an hour compared to the previous wage. The provincial minimum wage is $15.50 per hour. SNGRDC employs about 100 people, including the employees at Six Nations Bingo. The increase adds a $349,000 expense to the SNGRDC annual budget.

Six Nations letting down its women, says young Haudenosaunee woman DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
After an explosion of violent crime on the territory during the pandemic, and a recent, horrifying assault on a young Six Nations woman that left her hospitalized, the community is gearing up to put a stop to this disturbing trend. And today, as communities across Canada mark the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the issue of violence in the community is something that won’t, and cannot be, ignored. How the solution looks is another matter. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council wants to form a community task force to tackle the violence on the territory after reading a heart-wrenching letter from a young Six Nations woman at last
week’s general council meeting, where the youth, named Kennedy, pleaded for help in ending the ever-growing spectre of violent crime and assault on the territory. “We’re all seeing it and we’re all part of this community,” said Elected Chief Mark Hill. “We all have a role to play in making everyone feel safe in our territory.” Kennedy, who grew up on the reserve, says she’s concerned for the safety and well-being of herself, family and friends after witnessing the recent explosion in violent crime. “Gun violence and drug abuse has 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.” She feels like every day she wakes up to see more depressing news of community harm and crime towards each other.
She said her family experienced a break in a few years ago which still affects her to this day. “There are nights that I have trouble falling asleep, afraid of the noises outside of my home, wondering what or who could be out there. This fear is constantly in the back of our minds and no person should have to live in fear in their own community, let alone their own homes.” The vicious assault on Six Nations woman Autumn Martin last month, by two young males who unleashed attack dogs on her and left her for dead, shocked the community. She was hospitalized and has permanent injuries from the attack. The attack had people questioning the value placed on women, especially considering the higher risk Indigenous women face when it comes to assault and violent crime. “As a young indigenous

and Mustafa. “Earlier this year, it was shared that award-winning recording artist and world-renowned Broadway, television, film and fashion icon, Deborah Cox, will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the 2022 JUNO Awards,” said a May press release. “Toronto Raptors alumni, NBA Hall of Famer, author and music producer, Chris Bosh, will make his debut on the JUNO Awards stage to induct Cox for her tremendous contributions to Canadian music. To celebrate the milestone, Cox will perform a medley of her chart-topping hits

Mendes will make a special appearance to receive the distinguished decoration during next month’s show,” said a press release. Tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster.ca/junos.
woman I’m very aware of the high rates of violence against women that look like me,” said Kennedy. “The recent attack of Autumn Martin has shaken my spirit and the lack of leadership response has saddened me deeply.” She said the attack has resulted in feelings of fear and loneliness among women in the community. The perpetrators of the attack are out on bail. “I don’t believe the individuals responsible should be walking freely in our territory. This sends a message to others that this type of behaviour is acceptable and they’re able to get away with such crimes. Autumn and every woman deserves to feel safe and supported in the community. In our culture, we are taught that women are sacred and life givers. But how are we to believe that when there is constant news of the community letting our women down? Our community is sick and more must be
done to improve it.” She called on the leadership to make a change. “Please end the violence and sickness in our home and create safety for the new generations.” Chief Hill said the increased violence “has been weighing heavily” on him. “I’m prepared to do whatever I have to do. Our community members each have a role to play.” It hasn’t helped that the community just faced a challenging two-year pandemic. He remembers a point in time people didn’t even have to lock their doors. “Now it’s security cameras, gates, it’s fences, it’s everything, to protect their own families from what’s happening on our territory.” The chief himself had his house set ablaze in 2020 while he slept inside. He managed to escape unharmed. The house was destroyed and he had to move elsewhere.
“We have to come up with an action plan,” he said. “It has to be community driven.” Coun. Nathan Wright, who sits on the Six Nations Police Commission, said the topic dominated last week’s meeting. He said it’s not a policing issue alone and that the whole community needs to come together to come up with solutions. Chief Hill said the violence has been “festering for years and it’s time that everybody put their differences aside and focus on our young ones.” He said what Autumn Martin endured was “horrible” and that his office will be reaching out to the family. Council agreed to bring the issue back to its next meeting to continue the dialogue on an anti-violence strategy. “We’ve already been through enough with this pandemic,” said Chief Hill.

WEAR RED BRING AWARENESS FOR MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN & GIRLS
This message brought to you by Six Nations Police Service
Front-line workers are calling for more support for Indigenous families after a Statistics Canada analysis found First Nations, Inuit and Metis women are more likely to experience physical or sexual assault in their lifetime if they were in government care as children. The report, published recently in Juristat, said 63 per cent of Indigenous women have experienced violence and nearly half _ 46 per cent _ have experienced sexual assault. The analysis found 81 per cent of Indigenous women who had been in the child-welfare system had been physically or sexually assaulted in their life. Darlene Okemaysim-Sicotte is a co-chair of Iskwewuk E-wichiwitochik, which means ``women walking together'' in Cree. The Saskatoon group has been supporting families
of missing women for nearly two decades. Okemaysim-Sicotte has spoken with many women about how violence permeated their lives as children in care. ``Their experiences of trauma and violence started young by being taken from their family and then put in abusive foster homes,'' she said. The analysis said violence overall is connected to historical and continued trauma from ``colonialization and related policies aimed at erasing Indigenous cultures and dismantling Indigenous families and communities.'' Certain characteristics in a person's life made the chances of experiencing violence higher, specifically being taken into care as a child. Indigenous women were almost six times more likely than non-Indigenous women to have been in the government's care as children, the report said. Across Canada, 52.2 per cent of children in
foster care are Indigenous, although they make up about 7.7 per cent of the overall population of kids. There are about 10,000 children in care in Manitoba alone. About 90 per cent are Indigenous. That province has been called ground zero of the missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis. Cora Morgan, First Nations family advocate for the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, said apprehending a child is inherently a violent act. ``The most violent act you can commit to a woman is to steal her child.'' The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls heard from many people who experienced violence and a loss of identity while they were in care. They also shared how they were significantly harmed when their own children were taken. The inquiry's final report drew a link between the national crisis and the child-welfare system.

Mother’s Day has a history in political activism NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
NEW YORK — It turns out, the tradition of celebrating mothers has a strong history, launched by activist women of the Christian faith. The day was initially a tradition in the UK and Europe where believers would travel to their “mother church” or the church they grew up attending to go to a special service. Prior to it becoming an official holiday, before civil war, the day was dedicated to activist women in the church organizing acts of charity in “work clubs” and teaching local women how to properly care for children. In the 1870’s suffrag-
ettes wanted to permanently establish a holiday connected to the work club efforts — looking to June 2 — calling for a “Mother’s Peace Day” to promote world peace. The day became an established and official American holiday in the early 1900s. Anna Jarvis was a social activist, Christian and an ardent supporter of the Mothers’ Day Work Clubs, which were started by her mother and inspired by the work clubs of the civil war era. After the death of her mother in 1908, Jarvis organized the first Mothers Day celebration at a Methodist church in West Virginia, as a way to recognize the sacrifices of mothers everywhere. Cities across the US eventually began to adopt the tradition and in 1914
President Woodrow Wilson named the second Sunday in May a national holiday. The day began to loose it’s original meaning due to the commercialization by various companies looking to profit from the now national holiday, something that Jarvis denounced. In 1923 she wrote an article in the New York Times, saying she intended the day to recognize mothers and to gather mothers together into political action for change and peace and not for the personal financial gain of florists, card-makers and chocolatiers. Speaking against profiteering on Mother’s Day was a new mission that Jarvis would spend her entire life fighting. She died in 1948 at the age of 84.

Conservatives target tobacco The Progressive Conservatives tabled a budget this Thursday that lays out a $198.6 billion dollar spending plan. Here are some of the key mentions in the budget that likely will affect Six Nations. Highway 6 expansion Plans are underway to expand 9 kilometres of Highway 6 running from Upper James Street in Hamilton to the Highway 6 bypass — widening the roadway from two to four lanes. This, according to the budget, will include outreach to indigenous communities as stakeholders during a design and environmental assessment study for that. Unregulated tobacco The Conservatives say they are going to address unregulated tobacco by working with indigenous partners. Two independent facilitators have submitted a report to the government summarizing their engagement with First Nations that highlights the importance of the tobacco economy for First Nations and the need to continue to work together on economic development, smoking cessation, business regulation and community safety. The government says they are welcoming discussion with interested communities. As a part of their plan to crack down on unregulated tobacco, Conservatives want to review and modernize the Tobacco Tax Act. Based on recommendations from the consultants in that unregulated tobacco report, Ontario wants to “ease administrative burden and strengthen provincial oversight” by enhancing tracking and tracing of raw leaf tobacco, and expanding enforcement partnerships with
provincial, local and First Nations police services. Entrepreneur funding Ontario says it will be investing $25 million over three years to support indigenous communities through indigenous owned businesses and entrepreneurs with working capital to ensure continued business operations through the Indigenous Economic Development Fund. Post-secondary education Investing $9 million over three years to support the 9 indigenous institutes in Ontario including an indigenous institutes operating grant to expand postsecondary program offerings and an indigenous institutes capital grant to support capital repairs and renovations to facilities to accommodate new students. The budget was tabled on April 28. Now, Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford has dissolved provincial parliament and Ontario has transitioned into elections mode. The vote is set for June 2. The budget clearly lays out a platform on which the Conservatives are seeking re-election. Meaning if Ford wins, the PC’s will pick up on the work outlined in this budget and these initiatives. There is something very interesting happening in provincial, federal and municipal elections in the areas around Six Nations — and something that everyone should be paying attention to. Locally — Will Bouma is seeking re-election for Brantford-Brant. Provincially, whoever the MPP for this riding is, does have the authority to speak to on Six Nations issues at Queen’s Park. So making
sure that person is an ally is important. So far, Bouma has been neutral on his involvement in indigenous specific issues in Brantford-Brant. But in that riding, despite the region having such a rich indigenous history, none of the candidates to date have proven to know much, or have much interest in indigenous issues. On the Haldimand-Norfolk side — Leslyn Lewis is looking to run in the Conservative leadership race for the feds. She placed third in the last leadership race and has a lot of support to be a front runner out of the six official candidates raised so far. It would be interesting to see if she is named a winner. She has been noted as looking to bring forward anti-abortion policies for Canada which may be coming into the forefront as things on the US side get dicey on that topic. Though her time in Haldimand-Norfolk has been short, Lewis has not made much noise on the work of engaging with the indigenous communities or issues affecting her riding. So while having Lewis as an ally is also important, it is harder to tell if she will make indigenous issues a priority if she were named leader and elected PM in the next federal election. As we move into provincial elections mode, and even closer toward the settlement of the Six Nations Land Claim settlement, it’s critical for Six Nations band members to walk into this season with eyes wide open, not ignoring federal and provincial politics — but taking the opportunity to pay attention to who may potentially be at the table when it comes to the political future of our community.

ALBEQUERQUE, NM — For the first time in 3 years, the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow was an in-person event, bringing together thousands of dancers, singers, artisans and families from across Indigenous North America. The annual event also saw the crowning of the new Miss Indian World. Tashina Red Hawk, 18, from the Sicangu Lakota tribe of Rosebud, South Dakota won the title, beating out 22 other contestants from around the USA and Canada. In addition to taking awards for best essay and
best personal interview — Red Hawk sang a Lakota song, discussed beadwork and horse culture and did a bow and arrow demonstration for her traditional talent. Red Hawk will serve as an ambassador for Indigenous nations throughout the USA and Canada. The Pow Wow was a flurry of dance contests, honor songs and performances by indigenous talent. The event was celebrating it’s 39th year with three days of singing and dancing competitions that typically would see about 80,000 visitors descending upon Albuquerque and brings in an estimated $24 million dollars of economic impact to the city. The pow wow also sees
positive economic impacts for indigenous artisans from across the country, who set up at the Indian Trader’s Market. Organizers estimate that about 3000 dancers filled the floor this weekend — including representation from 560 tribes from the US and 200 indigenous communities from Canada. This year’s event also featured a horse and rider regalia parade and a pow wow food festival as well as a moment of recognition of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People. In 2021, US President Joe Biden declared May 5 “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day”

Six Nations actor Gary Farmer is part of an allstar cast in HBO’s new show ‘Our Flag Means Death’. This is the latest binge-worthy series put out by director Taika Waititi and chronicles the life of real life pirate Stede Bonnet, a prosperous plantation owner whose 18th century mid-life crisis drove him to abandon life on the land in favour of becoming “The Gentleman Pirate”. The show, led by David Jenkins, is a hilarious look at the past — addressing things like historical instances of toxic masculinity and queer love — through the eyes of 2022. It also gives a fantastic modern-day nod to indigenous and brown skinned peoples experiences of history, piracy and that is where Farmer’s appearance in the show comes in.

From Ryerson to Toronto Metropolitan University: What can we learn? By Dino Sossi, Instructional Assistant, Technology and Media, University of Toronto Ryerson University has a new name: Toronto Metropolitan University. University president Mohamed Lachemi recommended the name from a list developed by a committee of professors, administrators, students and alumni. The name change process was motivated by the Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win (Standing Strong) Task Force. The university's renaming is a welcome step in helping reconcile Canada's long history of colonization, both past and present. It signals a willingness to make amends for Canada's mistreatment of Indigenous people, especially in educational settings. Ryerson's renaming has the potential to teach important lessons across society as we strive for a more equitable future given our inequitable past. Create a balanced history Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win focused on the university's complex relationship
with its namesake, Egerton Ryerson. His educational policies' racist legacy devastated Indigenous communities _ he was an architect for Ontario's residential schools. Archivists dug through records. Historians were consulted. Scholars researched. Knowledge keepers provided wisdom. And by canvassing Ryerson community members past and present, the task force reached a delicate balance. The authors detailed Egerton Ryerson's troubling past. They bound him to his influence in creating Ontario's residential schools. They even shared his offensive statements on Indigenous education aims. But the authors also highlighted Egerton's many accomplishments. This included Indigenous school fundraising and helping petition the Crown to confirm the Mississaugas' legal title to reserves. After the buried bodies of Indigenous children were found at former Indian residential schools, Ryerson's statue on campus became even more harmful, traumatizing and triggering to many staff,
faculty and students. His name adorning buildings, email signatures and sports teams likely did the same. In an interview with The Globe and Mail, president Lachemi said the new name reflects the wishes of community members: ``It's a name that fits us perfectly. We're located in the heart of our country's biggest and most diverse city, so the university represents all that it means to be metropolitan. We are a gathering place for people from all over the world, from all walks of life, with broad and diverse perspectives, lived experiences and aspirations.'' Toronto Metropolitan University is expected to be in use soon but signage will take time. The blue and yellow colour will remain and Ryerson will still appear on official documents until the university's governing legislation is amended _ likely after the provincial election in June. Acknowledge institutional inequality Many institutions have dubious pasts. Some even supported residential school atrocities, such as creating a discourse around
assimilation. We must condemn Egerton Ryerson, but acknowledge that many Canadians benefit from systems similar to the ones he helped fashion, not just education. During the pandemic, the wealthiest Canadians have prospered. In contrast, low wage workers, often women and marginalized people, have continued to suffer. The pandemic has accelerated lasting trends where seniors, people with disabilities, recent immigrants, marginalized and Indigenous people felt the most negative impacts of income inequality. But the pandemic, Black Lives Matter and racial reckoning have also forced a kind of social reset, helping prompt the name change at Ryerson. Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win captured the sadness imperilling Ryerson's community. The community grieved the legacy of a man they never met, but they are all too familiar with the punitive educational system he created. We must repair public institutions that allow obscene financial and
social inequality as well as personal devastation that can potentially cascade across generations. But first we must acknowledge our own role in allowing their perpetuation. Renaming is a start Although it could have been resisted and there was initial opposition by some groups, Ryerson's renaming speaks to how fundamental institutions like universities can listen to Indigenous people and their allies to drive welcome change. From this, Ryerson's renaming should not remain a symbolic act. And this achievement should not mean the battle is over. Instead, a name change means the fight has only just begun. Scrubbing Egerton Ryerson's name from the institution feels good. It is similar to removing his statue from the university's grounds. But improving the worst parts of the educational policies he helped birth is better. This includes improving antiquated practices. And Indigenous people must help lead this change. Their knowledge and
culture should fully inhabit education. Some equitable education policies could include: - Indigenizing curriculum. - Practising culturally relevant pedagogy. - Diversifying curriculum. - Implementing inclusive education. - De-streaming public education. - Ensuring equitable learning. Public education has caused unjustifiable suffering. Many educational settings are driven by punishment, not proactive discipline. They homogenize, dehumanize and test incessantly and excessively. Renaming public entities begins the process of repairing inequities _ Ryerson is one example, Toronto's Dundas Street is another _ but it cannot end them. Regressive institutional practices must be questioned. Chronicling past atrocities, honouring those tragically lost, incorporating survivors' voices and building equitable institutions is the only way to build a truly inclusive society.

First Nations share priorities on housing, health The Canadian Press Housing, mental health and addictions and community-based services were among the priorities First Nations chiefs shared with leaders of Ontario's Liberal, New Democrat and Green parties on Wednesday. Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford, who is currently the premier, didn't attend the virtual meeting with the Chiefs of Ontario that was held ahead of the expected June election due to an unplanned dental procedure, his office said. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath and Steven Del Duca of the Liberals were both asked how many of the 22,000 homes they have promised to provide to Indigenous people would be on-reserve. Horwath said her party would be open to providing additional on-reserve housing based on community needs and Del Duca said the 22,000 units would be off-reserve, with costing details to come. Caldwell First Nation
Chief Mary Duckworth raised concerns in the meeting about members ``couch surfing'' on and off reserve, and Hiawatha First Nation Chief Laurie Carr noted that more than 160 families are on a waitlist for housing in her community. Duckworth also raised mental health and addictions, saying people can't access those services in her community due to a lack of funding and other roadblocks. Horwath said her party is planning to ensure there are culturally appropriate services available for people and professionals trained to work in communities, and Duckworth in response noted that more direct access to health money might help find better solutions. ``I think the funds would do us better to create exactly what you're trying to create, and we could do it within our territories and with their other First Nation partners,'' Duckworth said. Others raised challenges specific to accessing
services in the province's north, where speakers said there are not enough spaces for people's needs and insufficient detox spaces for youth who are looking to enter treatment. Del Duca was asked about his position on economic reconciliation. He said he hopes to change things from how they were done during his time as a minister in former Premier Kathleen Wynne's government. At that time, he said the economic benefits for communities, in particular First Nations, were not often considered when planning infrastructure projects. The former Liberal transportation minister also said he's open to discussing exemptions for First Nations people from tolls on Highway 407. Green Leader Mike Schreiner said he would support separating the cabinet portfolios of Indigenous Affairs and Northern Development, after it was raised that the two ministries ``are in conflict

with each other.'' Ontario Regional Chief Glen Hare asked that the party leaders have a First Nations person in their cabinet if they are elected on June 2. ``We need a voice with the government,'' he said. Hare also called for special attention to the ``pandemic'' of mental health in First Nations communities and reasonable timelines for housing projects. Before the meeting, Hare and the Chiefs of Ontario urged the next government in a statement to recognize First Nations' treaty-protected rights. Priority areas highlighted in that previous statement from the chiefs were renewed relationships, sustainable community development and environmental protection, health and emergency preparedness, community well-being and investigations into human remains at Indian Residential School sites. Participants in the meeting asked about the possibility of speaking with Ford at a later date before the election.
B.C. raises forest revenue sharing The Canadian Press VICTORIA — First Nations in British Columbia will receive a $63 million increase in forestry income this year under the development of a new revenue-sharing model that Indigenous leaders say is an encouraging move toward even higher shares in the future. The increase was the first step toward a new forestry revenue deal consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Forests Minister Katrine Conroy said Wednesday. ``The current forestry revenue-sharing model is inadequate,'' she said at a news conference. ``The province heard this loud and clear.'' The extra funds are the result of an increase in revenue-sharing rates from three, four or five per cent, to eight, nine or 10 per cent. ``These changes will
be effective April 1 and will increase the forestry revenue share with First Nations by around $63 million this year,'' said Conroy, calling it ``an interim agreement.'' In 2019, B.C. was the first jurisdiction in North America to adopt the declaration, which requires governments to obtain free, prior and informed consent before taking actions that affect Indigenous Peoples and their lands. Last month, the B.C. government tabled an action plan that set 89 goals, including revenue-sharing agreements, toward implementing its law on the UN declaration. First Nations leaders who attended the news conference with Conroy at the legislature said this year's increase, which could raise their revenue share to more than $130 million, was a start, but they expected more.

De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Health Centre announced in April it received a provincial government investment of $10 million for its redevelopment. According to the release, this investment will provide De dwa da dehs nye>s with the space, and quality of space, required
to provide appropriate and accessible health care and to deliver programs to meet the needs of the Indigenous community in Hamilton. “The current De dwa da dehs nye>s facility has not been able to meet community need for years. It is severely outdated and undersized and is not accessible to all who require its services. There are growing waitlists and inequitable access to care
and program participation,” said an April 27 press release. The centre is the only urban Indigenous health care provider in the greater Hamilton area that provides a blend of western and Indigenous Traditional Medicine for urban First Nations, Inuit and Metis people. De dwa da dehs nye>s has been providing culturally safe programs and services that are relationship-based, welcoming
and individual-directed since 1998. “The provincial government’s investment of over $10M for De dwa da dehs nye>s capital redevelopment will enable us to address the health access barriers identified in a survey of the Indigenous community in Hamilton, including waiting lists and lack of trust in health care providers,” said Bryanne Smart, Board Chair, in the release.

PRINCE ALBERT — During a weekend in Saskatchewan spent listening to stories from survivors of Canada's residential schools, the Archbishop of Canterbury warned in a church service that rules and structures must not become more important than people. ``That is the tragedy of residential schools, the mystery of no one objecting, the mystery of no one saying, 'This is outrageous,' the addiction to process over people,'' Rev. Justin Welby told congregants at St. Albans Cathedral in Prince Albert. Welby, who is the senior bishop and the spiritual head of the Church of England, has said that a significant purpose of his visit to Canada April 29 to May 3 is to repent and atone for the harm the Church of England has caused to Indigenous peoples. He said during the service on Sunday that he has
been ``overwhelmed by the faithfulness to God'' that he's heard in the testimonies from survivors, and noted there are two parties in forgiveness. ``We cannot put a burden, or the obligation, on those who suffered and say it's your job to forgive. But I will tell you from my own experience that being forgiven is often harder than forgiving,'' Welby said. ``Our pride gets in the way and we blame the survivor and the victim, and not the perpetrator. We allow ourselves to make excuses to ourselves.'' The Anglican Church says it ran about three dozen residential schools in Canada between 1820 and 1969. In 1993, the Anglican Church of Canada apologized for operating residential schools. Welby is also scheduled to visit Brantford, Ont. and Toronto. On Saturday, Welby attended a ceremony held in a gymnasium on the
James Smith Cree Nation in northern Saskatchewan, where he was presented with an eagle feather by the vice-chief of the province's Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, David Pratt. Welby, in return, presented Pratt with a replica of the statue ``Reconciliation'' which is at St. Michael's Cathedral in Coventry. The original statue was conceived following the Second World War, during which the 14th Century cathedral, whose remains are next to St. Michael's, was destroyed by German bombing. ``And this comes with our prayers, our sorrow and our gratitude for this welcome.'' The Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program has a hotline to help residential school survivors and their relatives suffering with trauma invoked by the recall of past abuse. The number is 1-866-925-4419.
COVID-19 Restrictions will be exercised.

Green Tip: Call the mom in your life this Mother’s Day, she grew you. If you haven’t found a gift for the mom in your life for Mother’s Day yet, you’re probably going to get her another bouquet of roses at the grocery store like you’ve done every year since you were in high school. If you’d rather not opt for the traditional Mother’s Day bouquet this year, potted plants are a fun spin on a classic gift. The first thing to consider is whether or not your giftee is into plants. Whether they are or not could determine what kind of potted plant you get for them. Here are some options for both the green- and black-thumbed mom: Flowering plant Some of the most popular Mother's Day plants are plants that flower easily

because even if she’s not a good plant parent, one little flower could make her feel like a hero. You could get her an orchid, gardenia, peace lily, hoya — so many options! Just steer clear of buying houseplants from the grocery store or IKEA (we’ll save why for another time). Mother-In-Law’s
Tongue A Mother-In-Law’s Tongue is really just an appropriately named snake plant or sansevieria. This plant is for moms whose thumbs are anything but green. Sansevieria are very tolerant of neglect, do not need heavy light, don’t require complicated soil and thrive without
a lot of water. It’s an attractive plant that adds vibrant colour to any room. Succulent Succulents store water in their stems and leaves and I can confidently say that unless she is bathing your succulent daily, your mom won’t kill a succulent. There are so many types available for not a large cost and they all look so different. Adding different textures, patterns and colours to a room. They are so easy to care for you could water them simply by keeping them in the bathroom when you shower every day. Succulents are the gift that keeps on giving because they are one of the easiest plants to propagate or transplant and give away. String of Pearls Technically this plant is also a succulent but I wanted to give it a shoutout of its own. I don’t have a string of pearls yet — but I really want one. It’s a delicate hanging plant that thrives in a warm

and dry environment. Not exactly made for southern Ontario’s humid summers but with some extra time, effort and care, these plants can grow to be quite impressive. They need a good six to eight hours of bright, indirect sunlight per day. If your place doesn’t haven’t enough light for your string of pearls, consider putting them under some fluorescent lighting for 12 to 16 hours per day. Croton No, I’m not suggesting you buy your mom croutons for Mother’s Day. Crotons are an easy-to-grow houseplant known for
their variegated foliage covered in bright splashes of green, red, orange and yellow. Pay close attention to the vibrancy of its leaves. Dull, droopy, matte leaves on a croton means you need to give it some attention (probably just some water) and don’t be alarmed if you start to lose some leaves as the seasons change. That is totally normal for a healthy croton.

B.C.'s coroner says inquest into Indigenous teen's death is in public interest NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES
VICTORIA — An inquest will be held to try to determine what happened to a 17-year-old Indigenous youth who was reported missing from his Abbotsford, B.C., group home in September 2020 and found dead in the closet of his bedroom four days later. A statement issued by
the BC Coroners Service says the inquest into the death of Traevon Desjarlais has been ordered because there is ``reason to believe that the public has an interest in being informed of the circumstances'' surrounding the death. The inquest will begin at the Burnaby Coroners' Court on Nov. 28. A cause of death of the Cree youth has not been released, but major crime detectives with Abbots-
ford police said at the time that no criminality was involved. The teen was living at a group home operated by an organization under contract to Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society when he was found. The teen's aunt said shortly after his death that the family trusted the government and the delegated Aboriginal agency to take care of him.
