As the ancient waters of the Grand River whispered past Chiefswood Park on a warm and sunny spring afternoon last Thursday, the grasses, plants, and trees, once again awoken from a long winter slumber swayed softly in the wind, inviting everyone to witness their beautiful dance and importance in the Carolinian Forest ecosystem. Although small, the verdant habitat surrounding Chiefswood Park provides a unique snapshot of the vast Carolinian forest and habitat and offers visitors a glorious opportunity to learn about the importance of the plants, trees, shrubs, ponds and wildlife that inhabit the lush woodlands of our geographic area. Thanks to Kerdo Deer, ecotourism coordinator at Kayanase Greenhouse on Hwy. 54, visitors had the opportunity to take an intimate tour of the grounds at the historic park. A leisurely and exploratory walk around the park will reveal some hidden vernal pools, which are small ponds that fill up and dry out every summer and provide an important habitat for salamanders, among

other amphibians. “Vernal pools are a very important habitat for salamanders and frogs,” said Deer. “Throughout Six Nations, this is what we commonly see, is the vernal pools.” If you want to catch a peek at some salamanders on your property, as soon as it’s warm enough, at nighttime, they converge on the pools, said Deer. In the winter, they burrow below leaves in the ground. On Six Nations, you’ll find the yellow spotted salamander, the Jefferson salamander, and the redback salamander. You’ll also find the Eastern Newt, another type of amphibian. “Those are the most
common that I’ll see,” said Deer of the Eastern Newt. “They like these (vernal pools) because there’s no fish in them.” That means less predators for their eggs. The presence of salamanders is an indication of an area’s surface water quality, too, said Deer. “They have semi-permeable skin so if the water is contaminated, it will affect their reproductive quality and survival.” The pools also help breed mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are often thought of as the most diseased flying pest in the world, but they actually serve a purpose in the eco-system. The males don’t bite and are important flower
pollinators. They feed on nectar and are important for pollination, said Deer. The females need blood to lay their eggs. So when a mosquito bites you, you and your blood are playing a role in the ecosystem, too! The pools also host fairy shrimp, which are a food source for migrating ducks. And if you ever come across a chokecherry shrub, common around southern Ontario, just stop and have a peek at the little pink flowers dotting the plant. You’ll notice the shrub is a literal beehive of activity for a plethora of insects. Small, solitary native bees love chokecherry flowers. Deer said humans have even used the small native bees to pollinate their own orchards. The small native bees are more efficient pollinators than honey bees, he said. And aside from their incredible job hosting a wide variety of insects, the chokecherry shrub’s beautiful fragrance is intoxicating. The Carolinian Forest covers a large swath of Southern Ontario and hosts 4,000 different types of plants, 73 varieties of trees and 370 varieties of shrubs.

Fibre optic internet is coming closer to being a reality on Six Nations after First Nations Cable announced a partnership with major players in the communications industry last week. Acronym Solutions Inc. (formerly Hydro One Telecom) announced a partnership with First Nations Cable (FNC), Net-Neutral Inc., and AANAKWAD Inc. last week that will enable broadband connectivity to Six Nations residents and beyond. This is the first Indigenous-led project of its kind. The partnership, led by FNC, Net-Neutral Inc., and AANAKWAD (Ojibwe for "The Cloud") Inc. and supported by Six Nations Elected Chief and Council, Acronym Solutions Inc. will enable backbone broadband internet connectivity to FNC, who will extend the infrastructure to deliver broadband access to members and local businesses on Six Nations. “This day has been a long, hard fight for us,” said First Nations Cable President Jeff Thomas during a special announcement of the partnership at The Gathering Place last Wednesday. Once a municipal agreement is in place, construction should begin, said Thomas.
Pits have already been dug along Hwy. 54. “That’s going to be our fibre network coming in from Middleport,” said Thomas. “We’re working on permits right now. That’s the only hold up.” Once the municipal agreement is in place, construction can begin. "That will be a very exciting day,” said Thomas. Fibre optic Internet will go live by mid-September at the latest, he estimates. “It’s not an easy thing to put together. We had to put it together in portions. It’s been very hard work and tedious work. In order to bring this to Six Nations, it’s going to take all four companies to do their part.” Obtaining financing for the project presented many hurdles for Thomas. After jumping through hoops to get financing, the partnerships he’s created will help First Nations Cable finally move forward with the fibre installation. Because of Thomas’s assets being on-reserve, getting a traditional loan from the bank was almost impossible, as it is for most aspiring entrepreneurs on the reserve. “We cannot use that (on-reserve assets) as collateral,” said Thomas. “That’s kind of the way things went.” Six Nations businessman Miles Hill stepped forward to help, said Thomas. “We’ve been very fortunate (that he got involved
in the project).” By running fibre into every household on Six Nations, community members will finally have high-speed home Internet. The pandemic saw most of the community working and learning from home during lockdowns which presented challenges for residents with slow Internet services trying to access live meetings virtually. “If anything like that ever happens again, we’re prepared for it,” said Thomas. With the new partnership, Six Nations will now be prepared to deliver reliable broadband services to Six Nations. "We are proud to be part of this innovative project," said John Papadakis, President and CEO of Acronym Solutions Inc., "We are committed to helping our customers reach their full potential by providing creative solutions to complex technical challenges. This project gives us the opportunity to work in close partnership with FNC, Net-Neutral Inc. and AANAKWAD Inc. to enable further economic development within Six Nations and beyond. The success of this partnership demonstrates how much is possible when all parties work towards a common goal. We look forward to building on this long-term partnership to help bring broadband connectivity to many currently un-
derserved communities across Ontario.” Acronym Solutions Inc. (formerly Hydro One Telecom) is a full-service Information and Communications Technology (ICT) company that provides a range of scalable and secure network connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity and operational solutions. First Nations Cable has been serving the Six Nations of the Grand River since 1989 and has been licensed by the CRTC since 1992. First Nations Cable and Six Nations Internet have been pioneers of broadband connectivity in the community. “Recent times have shown us just how important Internet service is, not just for entertainment but as a crucial part of business and education,” said Thomas. “Over the years, we have continually invested in our infrastructure to improve service for our customers. We make strides in performance and reliability every day.” Net-Neutral Inc. is a carrier neutral, high-performance internet, computing and cloud service provider. Net-Neutral Inc. built and then upgraded the CKRZ transmitter from 250 watts to 5000 watts. AANAKWAD Inc. (Ojibwa for “The Cloud”) is a wholly Indigenous licensed internet service provider from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Apples weren't always big, juicy and sweet - ancient ones were small and bitter By Tommy Davies, PhD student, Agriculture, Dalhousie University This article was originally published on The Conversation, an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts. Disclosure information is available on the original site. When biting into a large, sweet apple from the local grocery store, it's easy to take the characteristics of our modern fruits for granted. We don't often consider the long history of migration and improvement, both random and intentional, that has led to the seemingly perfect apples we enjoy today. Were the apples of our past always delicious? Where did our apples come from and how much have they changed? The origins of the apple can be traced back to the Tian Shen mountains in modern day Kazakhstan, where the wild ancestor of apples, Malus sieversii, still grows in forests today. The largest city in Kazakhstan, Almaty, derives its name from the Kazhak word Almatau meaning ``apple mountain.'' Archeological evidence suggests that human cultivation of apples began at least 5,000 years ago. During the last five millennia, our human ancestors transported apple seeds first across Asia via the Silk
Road and eventually across the world. But these ancient apples are quite different from the varieties we are accustomed to today. Wild apples are often small, acidic and bitter and generally not something you would pay $8.80/kg for. Cultivated improvements Our research group compared today's cultivated apples (varieties grown on farms like Honeycrisp and McIntosh) to the fruits of their wild ancestors, Malus sieversii, to quantify how apple fruits have changed over thousands of years. Our experiment made use of Canada's Apple Biodiversity Collection, an orchard in Nova Scotia containing over 1,000 different apple varieties from around the world, both wild and cultivated. Growing trees from the mountains of Kazakhstan alongside cultivated varieties allowed our research team to make direct comparisons between today's apples and the wild apples of the ancient past. Our study revealed that cultivated apples are 3.6 times heavier and 43 per cent less acidic than their
wild counterparts. The apples we see in supermarkets today are both larger and more palatable than those that fed our ancestors. This dramatic change in acidity, which contributes to the sourness of apples, suggests that the apples we enjoy today are much tastier than those of the past. In addition, cultivated apples contain 68 per
centuries, humans chose to grow apples with less bioactive molecules in favour of those with a less bitter taste, resulting in decreased phenolic content in cultivated apples over time. These results give us some insight into the taste preferences of our ancestors. Humans of the past likely selected for apples that were heavier, provid-
selected apples that had traits that suited their needs, effectively conducting a long-term apple improvement experiment. Impacts of modern breeding In the past 200 years, apple breeding programs have been more deliberate and more sophisticated, using modern techniques and technologies to make apples better faster. Our

cent less phenolic content than wild apples. Phenolic compounds are bioactive substances in fruits that are linked to improved human health outcomes. However, phenolic compounds also contribute to bitter taste, meaning the apples of today taste much less bitter than their ancestral counterparts. It's likely that, over many

A large proportion of these dramatic changes happened as a result of our ancestors choosing which apple varieties to bring along with them as they migrated around the world.

tain more soluble solids (sugars) and have less phenolic content. Recent efforts to improve our apples have been focused on keeping fruits fresh for longer and making them taste sweeter. With the expansion of global food markets and our growing preferences for sweeter tastes, these changes are indicative of the desires of modern society. Apple futures Wild apples represent an invaluable source of genetic diversity _ material that could be used in the future to add new or improved characteristics to modern apple varieties. Maintaining diverse crop collections, like Canada's Apple Biodiversity Collection, will be essential for the future of food improvement, as it allows agriculturalists to push the boundaries of what is possible with our fruits. Indeed, when comparing apples to apples, the modern day fruit you see at the grocery store has fallen quite far from the ancestral tree _ and that is something to be grateful for.

Bread and Cheese brings back old friends and traditions DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
For the first time since the pandemic was declared in 2020, Six Nations was back together again in one of the largest and most beloved annual gatherings in the community: the 2022 Bread and Cheese celebration. The annual Victoria Day celebration saw thousands descend on the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial grounds to get their hands on chunks of cheese and bread, a tradition going back in the community for 100 years. The scaled-down event, with a smaller midway and parade, saw a few glitches as the event ran out of cheese a half hour into the festivities, and hundreds of loaves of leftover bread were being given away, with some going to the Six Nations
Food Bank. There were also complaints of stale bread and volunteers being treated poorly but Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council, who organizes the event, did not respond to requests for comment by press time. “We’ve gotten back to that sense of normality this year. We’ve had a very challenging few years with the pandemic. It’s very nice to be back and see everybody.” Organizers conducted deliveries to various homes around the community, as well, mostly elders and homebound people, including Six Nations’ long-term care home Iroquois Lodge. There some complaints on social media that home deliveries were still not complete by press time. “We had over 1,200 home deliveries,” said Chief Hill. “We’re seeing challenges but we’re mak-
ing it through with all the volunteers. This could not be possible without all of the volunteers.” Longtime volunteer, the late Tom Montour was publicly recognized by Chief Hill during opening remarks at the arena on Monday. Montour has volunteered at the Bread and Cheese event for over 40 years and he was gifted posthumously with a cornhusk doll dressed in traditional Haudenosaunee regalia to recognize his dedication and hard work. The Chief also held a moment of recognition for all the community members lost to the Covid-19 virus over the past two years. “We’ve been through a tough time. I want to recognize and honour all of those we have lost to Covid. Keep them in our hearts, keep them in our minds as we move forward.”
Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill chatted with community members and guests who gathered in Ohsweken while he helped out distributing bread and cheese to seated elders. DURIC

Residential school survivors didn't want to 'wear' decision to raise flag: documents CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — Documents show some residential school survivors told Ottawa they didn't want to ``wear'' a decision to raise the Canadian flag, as the government spent months mulling how to lift the Maple Leaf from half-mast. Hoisting the flag became a source of debate last year after it was lowered for months following the discovery of what were believed to be the remains of 215 children at the former Kamloops residential school site in British Columbia last May. Next weekmarks the one-year anniversary of that discovery using ground-penetrating radar by the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation.
It sent waves of grief, shock and anger through the country. As Indigenous communities reeled and more non-Indigenous Canadians joined them, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the flags lowered at all federal buildings, including the one atop the Peace Tower. By June, federal officials were trying to figure out the timing to raise the flag, reaching out to Indigenous leaders and drafting up options. ``This is the longest time in Canadian history that flags have been at halfmast,'' Crown-Indigenous Relations officials wrote in a briefing note released to The Canadian Press under access-to-information legislation. How long the flag remains lowered is typically dictated by a strict set of
rules. But when the federal government lowered it to honour Indigenous children who died and disappeared from the 140-year-long residential school system, the timeline for lifting it was not clear. Ottawa was working to return the flag to full-mast ahead of Remembrance Day, documents show, which is what ultimately happened. The documents say survivors and those in the country's national Indigenous organizations saw the need to raise the flag in order for it to be lowered on Nov. 8, Indigenous Veteran's Day, and Nov. 11. Among those consulted was the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation's survivors' circle. The group met last fall with Carolyn Bennett, the former federal Crown-Indigenous Relations minister before

FALLS PREVENTION Falls are the leading cause of injury in the older population. As we age, the risk of falling increase -- however there are many different ways to avoid this risk.
Tips to Prevent Falls Risks: Medication Review Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist to explain your medication to you – what it’s treating, confirm dosage, and possible side effects to look out for.
Staying Active
Moving your muscles regularly keeps them strong and can help prevent falls. Try walking, balance exercises, seated yoga, or Tai Chi.
Shoe Support Wear supportive shoes that have laces and fit properly. This can prevent you from slipping or tripping on rough or uneven surfaces.
If you fall... Keep your medical alert button or mobile device with you when performing your spring activities. This will help you in an emergency situation.
she was named to a new portfolio. ``Several participants mentioned that they did not want Canada to use this engagement to justify the raising of the flag to full-mast,'' officials said in a summary of the meeting. ``They did not want to 'wear' that decision,'' the summary said, adding Bennett signalled she understood and saw how not everyone agreed. ``Some said that they were not ready to see the flag go up to full-mast, others indicated that Canadians still needed to better understand why the flag was lowered.'' Officials recorded differing opinions on the national symbol and how the country planned to mark the finding of more unmarked graves. ``Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami officials reinforced the critical need to honour all the lost children (more than 6,000) and to sustain public awareness of the tragedy of residential schools,'' the documents say. ``Officials from the Metis National Council also offered the suggestion that the flag be lowered to halfmast for a week each time a new residential school burial discovery is made.'' In addition, officials said the organizations felt even though raising the flag was complicated, the issue was one that ``the Canadian
government will need to resolve.'' They also believed in the need for another ``symbolic recognition at the national level'' as a replacement if the flag were hoisted. The office of the current Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister, Marc Miller, said in a statement it is working with the House of Commons, Senate Speakers' Offices and other MPs to hoist the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation's survivors flag on Parliament Hill in June, which is Indigenous history month. It also plans to lower the Canadian flag every Sept. 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Cowessess First Nation near Regina discovered 751 unmarked graves last year. Officials noted that Chief Cadmus Delorme ``identified that this is a historic time for Canada'' and ``that with the number of residential schools, this issue will be present for years to come.'' Indigenous groups also urged governments to take meaningful action on reconciliation, and not leave it at symbolic gestures, the documents show. Chief Harvey McLeod of the Upper Nicola Indian Band in Merritt, B.C., said recently that more debate is needed about what the flag represents to Indigenous people and Canadians,
as opposed to talking how long it should stay lowered or raised. ``I see being more important is us continuing to have the dialogue to correct what was implemented in that plan that was the way to implement the vision of Confederation,'' he said. ``It was the vision of the salvation of us savages, us Indians, to incorporate us into general society.'' ``We really have to roll up our sleeves and find a way of how we can be inclusive of people like myself.'' Congress of Aboriginal Peoples National Vice-Chief Kim Beaudin said he's more concerned with justice for survivors than symbolic gestures from Ottawa. ``Quite honestly, we're not really treated as Canadians either, right? Full(fledged) Canadian citizens in our own country,'' he said. ``A lot of times we're treated like foreigners.'' One survivor of the Kamloops residential school said any gesture from the Canadian government on the flag is meaningful. ``Any recognition that Canada offers is good,'' said Garry Gottfriedson, a 69-year-old poet who attended the institution from kindergarten to Grade 3. ``The smallest gestures are good. Any little gesture Canada can offer is a step towards healing.''

'Sounds from the Sky:' First Nations pilot aims to inspire young Indigenous flyers CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
WINNIPEG — Timothy Atik (Tik) Mason has fond childhood memories of boarding large aircraft that would take him from Winnipeg to loved ones in his home community of St. Theresa Point First Nation in northern Manitoba. ``It was like this big, huge, magic machine when I was a child,'' Mason said in an interview with The Canadian Press. ``At a very young age I developed this kind of wonder about it.'' The 43-year-old now pilots those planes. Mason spent his first few years in St. Theresa Point before moving south to Winnipeg. The Oji-Cree community is only accessible by airplane or winter
ice road, so many residents become acquainted with flying early in life. These trips back home sparked an interest that would lay dormant for decades. Mason was working as a bartender but searching for more career stability when one of his regular customers offered to take him flying as a gesture of appreciation. ``It just kind of sparked (something) in me, kind of like a light bulb. Like, this is what I'm looking for _ being up in the air and having that sort of freedom and that sense of always being on top of things.'' He began flight training in 2016 and last fall, his childhood aspirations came full circle when he landed a Dash 8 turboprop in his home community.
The aircraft was owned by Perimeter Aviation, an airline that serves Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. His parents, relatives and council members were there for the landing. ``It was quite an emotional experience for myself to be able to be there,'' Roy Mason said about watching his son fly. Mason worked fulltime to fund his training, which happened once or twice a month. Around 2018, he was awarded the Bill Wehrle Scholarship named after the founder of Perimeter. The scholarship allowed Mason to move to New Brunswick to attend MFC Training, a pilot school in Moncton. Chris Walsh, director of quality and safety at the school, first met Mason in the spring of 2018.
``He's kind of a sponge, seeking information from people who have been doing it for a long time and kind of looking for every little stream of information to be able to mould himself a little better,'' said Walsh. Mason became an instructor with the school in 2019, a role in which Walsh says Mason excels. ``His desire to reach out and help people ? is a rare commodity in today's environment. He's lending a hand whenever required and also seeking out and letting people know when he needs help.'' The decision to leave Manitoba for the East Coastwas not an easy one. Mason spent years touring as part of the award-winning bands Burnt Project 1 and Indian City. It was on one of these tours that he received word a family

Roy Mason said it has been a joy to watch his son open doors for youth. ``I think he always wanted to be a role model and see the youth in First Nations communities be able to realize their goals.'' When Mason looks back on his career choices, he thinks about the medicine name an elder gave him. It translates to ``Sounds from the Sky.'' Aviation has presented him with the full truth of his name, he says. ``Many chapters to come, I'm sure.''

VANCOUVER — It's been a difficult year for many since the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools and those expressing anger are justified in doing so, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. Trudeau made the comment Tuesday after facing angry chants by some attendees of a memorial ceremony at the former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., the day before. ``There were a number of people who are still very, very hurt by this and who are angry, and, frankly, they have a right to be angry,'' Trudeau said at an event in Vancouver, where he was visiting a family to discuss federal housing policy. The ceremony in Kamloops on Monday marked one year since the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc announced that ground-penetrating radar had identified 215 suspected graves in
an apple orchard by the former residential school. The announcement sparked a reckoning over Canada's treatment of Indigenous Peoples and additional searches on former residential school grounds across the country. Trudeau said the news affected Indigenous people who have long known that many kids who went to the schools never came home, as well as Canadians who learned with shock that residential schools had graveyards. ``These are things that Canada needs to grapple with and, of course, there's a need for healing, there's a need for partnership, but there's also going to be a lot of trauma and anger,'' Trudeau said. He said he was ``incredibly touched'' by elders who welcomed him and told him it was important for the federal government to be at the ceremony and he also understands there are others who are still very hurt. Hundreds of people
attended the daylong memorial in Kamloops and Trudeau was followed by a large group who chanted and pounded drums as he stopped in the stands, talking face-to-face with people. While he exchanged hugs with some, others were less receptive, chanting, ``Canada is all Indian land,'' and ``We don't need your Constitution.''' ``Canada was responsible for horrific things happening to Indigenous people, and those injustices continue not just in the past, but in the present today,'' Trudeau said Tuesday. Socio-economic inequality and mental health challenges are among the legacies of residential schools that require ongoing action, he added. ``I was grateful to be there, grateful to hear people's perspectives, and grateful to be able to continue to insist and demonstrate that the federal government will be there as a partner on reconciliation for the long term.''

'Horrifically, grisly scene': Remains of woman found near Winnipeg apartment block CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — The name Rebecca Contois reverberated down a back lane Thursday night, days after her partial remains were found there. Dozens of people raised fists in the air and said the young Indigenous woman's name out loud four times. ``We love you. We honour you,'' said one speaker before a group of drummers sang a traditional song outside an apartment building in the north part of Winnipeg. Darryl Contois organized the vigil for the 24-year-old. He said he is not an immediate relative but got to know Rebecca Contois and her family last year. He said she was bright, liked talking to people and had a good sense of humour. He last spoke with her in the winter and they talked about his work
leading searches for missing people in Manitoba. ``To me, it's all closure for families,'' he told the crowd. ``We all have a heart. We all have loved ones at home ... let's (show up) for them and show them that we love them still.'' Winnipeg police Const. Rob Carver said someone called police Monday after spotting ``something that was of concern'' outside the apartment building. Officers focused their search around a garbage bin near the building. Carver called it a ``horrifically, grisly scene.'' On Thursday, police identified the victim as Contois. ``This is a tragedy for the entire community and the city,'' Carver told a news conference. Carver said officers were also searching a landfill, the Brady Road Resource Management Facility, as part of the investigation. ``Due to the nature of the circumstances sur-

TWO ROW TIMES
EDMONTON — A lawyer representing an Alberta man accused of killing two Metis hunters says his client had no choice but to shoot the men to protect himself, his father and younger brother. Anthony Bilodeau and his father, Roger Bilodeau, face two counts each of second-degree murder and have pleaded not guilty. The two were charged after Jacob Sansom and his uncle Maurice Cardinal were found dead at the side of a rural road outside Glendon, Alta., on March 28, 2020. Brian Beresh, a lawyer
for Anthony Bilodeau, says his client got a call from his father and younger brother, Joseph Bilodeau, the night before saying they were following a pickup truck that they suspected had been at their farm earlier in the day. He says Anthony Bilodeau was still on the phone with his father and brother when one of the men punched in a passenger window of their vehicle and tried to pull them out. Beresh says his client arrived on scene to find someone fighting with his father before that man charged at Anthony Bilodeau and told another man to grab a gun to kill him. He says that in that
short time, Anthony Bilodeau had no choice but to shoot the two men. Crown prosecutor Jordan Kerr has argued that the killings were in no way justified, as security footage from a nearby gas station shows Anthony Bilodeau shot Sansom within 26 seconds of arriving at the scene, then shot Cardinal as the hunter was walking away. Sansom was hit once in the chest and Cardinal was shot three times in his shoulder. Joseph Bilodeau earlier testified that he feared for his life during the confrontation with the two men, but he didn't talk to anyone after about calling police.
chael Skibicki, 35, was charged with first-degree murder Wednesday and remains in custody. Officers executed a search warrant at his home, which is in the area of the apartment block. Contois and Skibicki were known to each other, said Carver. He added that it's very likely Contois was killed

not long before her remains were found. Investigators began searching the landfill Monday and were still there Thursday afternoon. Carver said searching the landfill is a difficult task. ``That is going to be a long ongoing operation ... police resources will be focusing on this for quite
some time,'' he said. ``We understand the environmental risks to our own officers who are going to be out there, to cadets who might be out there. There are hazmat concerns, which we have to take care of and plan for. We'll be using all the resources at our disposal.'' Carver said that could include the use of drones and a canine search team. Angie Tuesday, who is a family resource and support advocate, said she has been in touch with the woman's family and they are ``going through an intense period of grieving.'' ``This was their loved one. This was their girl,'' she said. She said they have asked for privacy. ``This is traumatic. It is very troubling news for them and they deserve some respect.'' During the vigil, family and friends formed a circle around Contois's mother, who declined to speak.

Native American student told to remove feather at graduation The Canadian Press
BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (AP) — A Native American student was forced to remove an eagle feather prior to her high school graduation ceremony in northeastern Oklahoma. Broken Arrow student Lena' Black, who is Otoe-Missouria and Osage, told the Tulsa World the feather was attached to her mortarboard and that she had been told previously that the feather would be allowed because of its cultural significance. Black said she passed several checkpoints before being approached by a school counselor and a security guard, who tried to forcibly remove the feather. ``I had to take off my cap,'' Black said. ``They kept trying to take it off of me.'' The district's website states that mortarboards are to be without dec-
orations and the confrontation was due to a miscommunication about the required protocols for approval of adding culturally significant items, according to School Indian Education Coordinator Rich Pawpa said. Other Indigenous students wore regalia during the ceremony, Pawpa said. Black's mother, Marci Black, said they were not told of any protocols and have received an apology from the district. ``I want this to never happen to another Native student ... they ruined something she has worked her whole life to achieve,'' Marci Black said. State schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister issued a letter in January to state schools asking them to review policies on Indigenous students wearing tribal regalia, feathers and other culturally significant items.

FREDERICTON — The six chiefs of the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick say this week's coroner's inquest into the police killing of Chantel Moore demonstrates the urgent need for an Indigenous-led inquiry into systemic racism. They say the findings and recommendations of the coroner's jury don't address the serious nature of the tragedy or the systemic issues embedded in the justice system. Moore, a 26-year-old Indigenous woman, was fatally shot by police in
Edmundston, N.B., in June 2020 during a wellness check after she advanced toward an officer with a knife. In a statement, Chief Ross Perley of the Tobique First Nation says the inquest has not lessened the need for an inquiry into systemic racism. Chief Allan Polchies of the St. Mary's First Nation says an inquiry would provide more accountability for Moore's death. New Brunswick's systemic racism commissioner, Manju Varma, is currently conducting a review into institutional racism in the province and is expected to release her report in September.

CHASE, B.C. — Fire has destroyed part of an Indigenous owned and operated lodge in the southern Interior but the Little Shuswap Lake Band says it is planning to rebuild. A statement from the band's chief, James Tomma, says flames tore through the guest wing of the Quaaout Lodge early Sunday but no one was seriously hurt, thanks to quick action by lodge staff and area firefighters. Tomma says an investigation into the cause of the fire and extent of the damage is underway and the band is working
to support its guests and employees. He says the 30-year-old lodge and resort on the shores of Little Shuswap Lake, just east of Chase, B.C., is an ``engine of economic development'' for the 347-member band and a cultural heart of the community, and will be rebuilt. The lodge expanded in 2007 to include the Talking Rock Golf Course, which was rated among the top-20 courses in the country in PGA-Canada rankings released in 2020. Tomma says the resort will be closed while the fire investigation is completed, but updates will be provided when available.

Unmarked graves discovery transformed Kamloops B.C., First Nation Simon said while the unmarked graves of children found around residential schools in Canada have been called a discovery, for survivors it's the confirmation of First Nations experiences and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. ``It shouldn't have taken that long, but finally people know,'' Simon said. ``And knowing has transformed this community. People have made pilgrimages here to pay their respects, to say they're sorry, to show their support.'' Simon spoke Monday at a memorial to mark the one-year anniversary of the announcement by the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation that the graves were detected on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. ``It's unimaginable that a place of learning was so cruel.

KAMLOOPS— The atrocities, the death, the loss and the silence of residential schools that Indigenous Peoples knew about for so long is finally known by all, Canada's Governor General told a crowd of survivors and their family members in Kamloops, B.C on Monday. Gov. Gen. Mary Simon's remarks came a year after ground-penetrating radar unearthed unmarked graves believed to hold the remains of up to 215 children who died at a former residential school near the city, a finding that led to the discovery of hundreds of other similar sites across the country and triggered a national reckoning on Canada's past and present relationship with Indigenous peoples.

Nations woman to play hockey for Team Canada, winning silver as of the 2018 Olympic team. Lacquette played in the men's division of the tournament in previous years,
and said it was a privilege to get out there among other Indigenous women. The tournament is the dream-made-reality of Fred Sasakamoose of Ahtahkakoop First Nation. His goal was to someday have an Indigenous team compete at the Olympics. A new statue of Fred Sasakamoose, facing Gordie Howe's, was unveiled in front of SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon on May 18. When Saskamoose suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1950s, he was the first treaty Indigenous player in the NHL. The tournament highlights the Indigenous talent playing hockey and welcomed a women's division for the the first time in the tournaments history.
