Shocking video released showing police kicking Indigenous man DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Warning: graphic language and content A video showing a Hamilton police officer kicking an Indigenous man in the head has been made public, sparking outrage and calls for change in the way police interact with Indigenous people in the city. The officer in the video, Const. Brian Wren, has been suspended from the force and is facing assault charges related to the incident. The victim, Patrick Tomchuk, 32, has suffered permanent injuries from the incident. Police were in the midst of arresting Tomchuk for theft-related crimes on the Hamilton Mountain in May when a private citizen began recording a video of his arrest. The video shows Tomchuk being wrestled to the ground by a crowd of officers at a gas station. Once Tomchuk was on
the ground, an officer can be heard yelling, “hands behind your back now f***er.” At that point, an officer wearing all black and a black hat came from behind and can be seen kicking Tomchuk in the head, who was on the ground beside a gas pump, and already being subdued by at least three other officers. A few seconds later, that same officer, in black, came around from another angle and again began kicking Tomchuk in the head and face. Tomchuk was completely immobile by that point - about 45 seconds into the video. A justice of the peace said it appeared Tomchuk was beaten until he was unconscious at his bail hearing last Friday. When Hamilton Police were shown the video, Wren was suspended with pay immediately and charged with assault. Hamilton Police Chief Frank Bergen called the video “disturbing” and “troubling.” Tomchuk’s family had agreed to act as his surety

and to connect him with programs for counselling. Tomchuk was granted bail; however, upon his release, he was picked up by police to attend to charges from a separate incident in the Niagara region. Wren’s LinkedIn profile describes him as a PC at the City of Hamilton for the past 11 years. He has appeared on the provincial Sunshine List since 2015 for earning over $100,000 in his public service position. His salary in 2015 was $105,931.32, which went up to $131,107.87 in 2021. Patrick’s mother Olga is saddened by the incident and said it’s not the first time her son faced police brutality. It was only this time it was caught on video. “I don’t think it’s right,” she said. “They get away with it. If you’re here to protect and serve, don’t do this to my son. Please.” She said her son is “no angel” but has sustained injuries from the incident and is now on medication to deal with the pain. Olga said the force used
to deal with her son was “excessive. He knows he didn’t fight back. Usually Patrick gets up and runs but he didn’t this time. He just laid there. It was a good thing there was a civilian there taping all this.” Members of the Hamilton Regional Indian Centre are advocating on behalf of Patrick and his family and are calling on police to make changes in how the force interacts with Indigenous people in the city. Audrey Davis, executive director of the HRIC, said there might not have been charges against the officer if there was no video evidence, leading her and others to call for all police to wear body cams at all times. “All too often, their (Indigenous people’s) stories are not taken seriously, or dismissed, or it is they who are victimized. It is important to call attention to these matters as they arise and advocate for change that is already too late in coming. Society must always hold police accountable.”
Six Nations Rivermen approaching OSL League title By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rivermen need one more victory to win their league championship. The Rivermen moved closer to the Ontario Series Lacrosse (OSL) title on Sunday thanks to a 9-7 win over the host, the Oakville Rock, at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville. The Rivermen now hold a 2-0 lead in the best-offive championship final series.

The search for hidden graves at the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford continues, with some statistics expected to be released at the end of the month. “We are still in the data collection stage at Mohawk Institute,” said Tabitha Curley, spokesperson for the Six Nations Survivors’ Secretariat, which is overseeing the search of the grounds. “After a set number of grids are completed, the data will be sent for forensic review. It will not be until after that time that we would be able to identify any remains. This will take quite a bit of time as the search area is quite large - over 600 acres.” The secretariat has estimated it will take about two years to complete the investigation. The search for potential hidden graves at the former residential school began last fall after survivors made a formal criminal complaint regarding the deaths of children at the Mohawk Institute.
About 52 children died while attending the Mohawk Institute according to information from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation but police have said they don’t know where the children were buried. The Mohawk Institute was Canada’s oldest residential school, operating from 1831 to 1970. The search was spurred by the discovery of 200 hidden graves using ground penetrating radar at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., in May 2021. Since the shocking discovery, thousands of hidden graves containing child remains have been found at former residential schools across Canada. The land surrounding the former Mohawk Institute and outlying areas are being searched using ground penetrating radar. It is not the GPR collectors (the people on the ground) who will be analyzing the data for anomalies conducive of child burials but rather an external team, said Curley, adding “there is a great deal of planning that goes into conducting the search and analyzing the data.”

LGBTQ struggled with mental health during pandemic: surveys CANADIAN PRESS

A series of surveys from the Mental Health Commission of Canada suggest members of the LGBTQ community struggled more during the COVID-19 pandemic than their nonqueer peers. The polls conducted by Leger on behalf of the MHCC and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction indicate only about one in four LGBTQ people reported excellent or very good mental health between October 2020 and September 2021. That's compared to 45 per cent of their nonLGBTQ counterparts. Meanwhile, 46 per cent of LGBTQ respondents reported moderate-to-severe anxiety symptoms, compared to 22 per cent of other respondents. Leger surveyed Canadians online seven times starting in October 2020 and ending in September 2021. Each time, between 1,500 and 2,500 people responded, roughly 10 per cent of whom identified as LGBTQ.
Ed Mantler, chief program officer at the MHCC, says the pandemic has exacerbated mental-health concerns for many, which has led to increased government investment in the issue. ``What this report tells us is that those investments can be made wisely, and more investment is needed in services that really target the unique needs of the 2LGBTQ+ community,'' he said. A report summarizing the survey's findings says roughly 30 per cent of LGBTQ respondents who consume alcohol report consuming more since the start of the pandemic, compared to less than a quarter of non-queer people. Meanwhile, it suggests 20 per cent of LGBTQ people who use cannabis increased their consumption during the pandemic, compared to roughly 10 per cent of straight respondents. The polling industry's professional body, the Canadian Research Insights Council, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

Peter Devlin, president of Fanshawe College (Ontario), and Nathalie Vallée,
director general of Collège Ahuntsic (Québec), were re-elected to the board as regional directors. The new at-large directors are; André Gobeil, director general of Cégep de Chicoutimi; Rebecca Jamieson, president and CEO of Six Nations Polytechnic; and Ajay Patel, president and CEO of Vancouver Community College. The two categories of directors were introduced in 2020 and allow for competency-based leadership on the board
while also ensuring that members from across the country have a voice in governing their association. “It is exciting to be working with so many new names and faces on our board. They will bring a new set of experiences and perspectives that will help us grow and expand as an association. I would also like to give a special thanks to all outgoing members of our board for their invaluable contributions to our organization and the college and insti-
tute system in Canada,” said Denise Amyot, president and CEO of CICan, in a July press release. According to CICan, CICan is the national and international voice of Canada’s largest post-secondary education network. It advocates, builds capacity, and drives knowledge to strengthen Canada’s publicly supported colleges, institutes, CEGEPs, and polytechnics.

TWO ROW TIMES

We need a better understanding of race, 'status' and indigeneity By Celeste Pedri-Spade Queen's University recently released its highly anticipated report after a year-long exploration into the institution's approaches to indigeneity. The report came about after a call was made by hundreds of Indigenous academics and community members following the news that several white settler faculty claiming indigeneity were, in fact, ``pretendians.'' The report offers several recommendations that touch on everything from verification processes to developing a more robust Indigenous Studies program. While some Indigenous academics and community members welcomed the report, others suggested it relies too heavily on ``colonial, imposed cards'' and the concept of ``Indian status.'' This critique based on cards and status is confusing, as the report is clear that individuals who have been disconnected from their communities due to colonialism have other
avenues to demonstrate their genuine, integral connections. The report highlights the fact that we need a better understanding of race, Indian status and indigeneity in Canada. What does `pretendian' mean? The term ``pretendian'' is new and stems from what renowned Indigenous scholar, Vine Deloria Jr., termed, ``the Indian Grandmother Complex.'' Recently, president of the Indigenous Bar Association, Drew Lafond, penned an opinion editorial suggesting the term ``pretendian'' is problematic. He said this is because the first people labelled as ``pretendians'' were ``individuals who were unable to produce a status card under the Indian Act to `prove' that they were Indigenous.'' But the word is actually a modern portmanteau that has gained traction with an established body of critical academic literature. Lafond also suggested that the act of calling someone a ``pretendian'' has led to divisive and toxic interpretations of what it
means to be Indigenous. Indian status and blood quantum While the concept of Indian status was, and continues to be, a tool that is imposed based on how much ``native blood'' one has, it is dangerous to centre Indian status, and not white entitlement and settler colonialism, as the issues plaguing tenuous or false claims to Indigenous identity. It is also dangerous to suggest that these conversations are undermining Indigenous self-determination. Characterizing all individuals who have been called ``pretendians'' as simply people who don't qualify for Indian status is misleading and has contributed to a rise in ``anti-status'' rhetoric that is, quite frankly, racist. While Indian status is an imposed mechanism, ``blood quantum'' cannot be disentangled from race. There are hundreds of thousands of Indigenous people across this country who are visibly racialized and not only hold Indian status, but also carry the
trauma of generations of Indigenous family members who have endured the Indian Act and many other forms of colonial violence. While it is true that many people were excluded from Indian status under the Indian Act because of gender or kinship ties to multiple Black and racialized communities, some of these issues have been corrected due to tireless work, often led by Indigenous women _ like Mary Two-Axe Earley, Sandra Lovelace Nicholas, Sharon McIvor, Jeannette Corbiere Lavell and Lynn Gehl. The important work of addressing the erasure of Black and other racialized Indigenous kin through state mechanisms is ongoing. This is why challenging Indigenous identity fraud in academia must name and focus explicitly on structures of whiteness, white entitlement and settler colonialism so we don't recreate the harms of past policies. Misclaiming `non-status' Ongoing efforts to challenge Indian status exclusion show us that
there's a massive difference between 1) someone who is a non-status First Nations person and 2) a white settler who has perhaps one or two Indigenous ancestors from before the concept of Indian status was introduced. The term non-status is meant to reflect the experiences of people who carry a real and intimate connection to historical and contemporary colonial and non-colonial expressions of recognition. This is often expressed through both their exclusion to specific agreements (like the Indian Act) and their inclusion and acceptance within traditional forms of Indigenous kinship. It is not a generic category for anyone who locates one or two distant ancestors. All institutions must be wary of and challenge the ideas that support the notion that Indian status person inhabiting their Indian status Because status is an imposed race-based mechanism based on ``Indian blood,'' many (not
all) Indigenous people who hold Indian status in this country are racialized people and know what it means to walk into a settler colonial space and speak volumes as an Indigenous person without uttering a word. Institutions that aim to advance equity, anti-racism and decolonization must centre the principles of integrity, truth and structural transformation. They must ask pressing questions like: Do your Indigenous employees include racialized, gender-diverse and socioeconomically diverse Indigenous people? These questions don't get answered when the loudest voices within the room say, ``being Indigenous is not about race or status.'' The focus on status disrespects the millions of Indigenous people who struggle to survive in universities and other settler institutions while having to endure everyday forms of anti-Indigenous racialized violence.
church's ``penance'' and commitments to change? 2. Responsibility — Do the Pope's statements demonstrate willingness and resolve for the church to address systemic causes and effects of specific harms? Many are waiting to see if the Roman Catholic Church will take institutional responsibility for genocide, sexualized abuse, torture and the deaths of thousands of Indigenous children. A more fulsome apology would acknowledge the church's wrongdoing, and complicity with the Cana-
dian settler-colonial state, to suppress Indigenous resistance in order to access land. The links between extracting resources and taking children from Indigenous communities, and attacks on communities throughout this process, have been obscured — and reparations have a role addressing this. Violence prevention As a Metis scholar, with Cree and Gwichin ancestry, I have been committed to improving the conditions and well-being of Indigenous people in Canada. I was recently lead researcher on a project
at Concordia University called ``Indigenous Healing Knowledges.'' One insight shared by many survivors at a related conference where Elders, Knowledge keepers and Indigenous youth offered teachings about their experiences and approaches to healing, is that people are more likely to recover — and promptly — when the violence against them has been acknowledged and not minimized. Recovery is more likely when they have been made safe, received care and have been treated with dignity.
Accurate language use, in reference to violence, serves as a positive and just social response, which is important for restoring well-being. Reconciliation must be preceded by truth-telling. The absence of historic truth leads to uncomfortable distortions for targeted groups. Ineffective apologies Apology analyst Andy Molinsky, a professor of international management and organizational behaviour at Brandeis University in the United States, describes four types of ineffective apologies. Two apology-types
described by Molinsky are visible in the Pope's statements: the ``excessive apology'' (or ``I'm so sorry, I feel so bad'') that draws attention to one's own feelings rather than what was done. The ``incomplete apology'' takes the tone of ``I'm sorry that this happened, I'm sorry that you feel this way'' and uses passive language. For example, in drawing attention to his own feelings of sorrow, Pope Francis neglected to acknowledge the rampant sexualized violence that destroyed many lives in residential schools.
Reparations to Indigenous Peoples are critical after Pope's apology
By Catherine Richardson Many people are contemplating Pope Francis's recent apology for residential schools in Canada during his visit to Alberta, as well as his statements from Quebec City and Iqaluit. In the aftermath of historical atrocities, apologies can offer a sense of justice and acknowledgement for people who were the targets of institutional violence. People are looking for two things: 1. Authenticity — Are the Pope's statements a genuine reflection of the

Opinion or Fact? The Mohawk Nation holds the true title to the Haldimand Tract By Benjamin Doolittle UE The Six Nations Council (SNC) issued a press release claiming that they are the sole real party in interest to land in Haldimand Tract. While the Six Nations Council may have some rights to the land, the Grand Back Project, a group of Mohawks who live in the area says that those rights are not valid because there is no official documentation proving that the SNC has any rights to the land. The Mohawk posterity has been fighting for the recognition of their rights to the land for years, and they are not going to give up without a fight. Recently Brantford proposed a lands transfer tax share concept that would see a portion of lands transfer tax diverted to the Six Nations Council, I don't find any coincidence that the Six Nations soon after issued its letter to all the Municipalities along the Haldimand Tract to secure its payday. This is an about-face from the council decision in 2014, that saw the council abandon its plan to write to the Finance Minister to exempt Indians from taxation, one councilor shared his concern "This could set a dangerous precedent" and be used as a tax-avoidance tool, Coun. Richard Carpenter argued. Another councilor seemed confused about what was being proposed, "I don't know why anyone on council would try to get an exemption from city taxation for a property owner based on race," McCreary said in council. I talked to Dave Wroble after I found this archived article, one
point Dave made was that the Industrial Park is the City's bread and butter, stressing the risks of who may be entrusted to manage the tax-exempt lands, "I do recall, and they were a couple of elements that I didn’t agree with and the way staff presented it. And if memory serves me correctly, the biggest issue I had was a whole term in trust. In trust was pretty vague and in trust to whom." In 2017 I wrote an "Open Letter to The Corporation of the City of Brantford and Council" this letter details the events that unfolded at 91 Spring Street, Brantford, where the city levied taxes on the property and sold the lien to the bank, the bank got an eviction order and the sheriff and Brantford police attempted to evict, after over five attempts they took the property, one reply I received from Councilor Richard Carpenter read in total "That's funny stuff", and in a curt reply from Councilor Greg Martin which only added to the list of questions, "Mr. Doolittle, the City of Brantford levies property taxes on property owners regardless of nationality, if you purchase property in Brantford you will be taxed as a property owner the same as any Canadian, American, German, Mohawk, or any other nationality. I hope this helps you better understand our tax system." Taxation and the underlying interest need to be resolved before blood money is handed to the Six Nations further complicating any hope for resolution. This creates a need for clean hands for those that claim to deal in the Haldimand
tract interests. It also may place a legal burden on Six Nations to perform or provide additional services. Six Nations council may want to be careful in making claims without the ability to back them up. Intermeddling into other people's rights can make them liable as trustees The SNC's claims to the Haldimand tract are dubious at best, and their lack of awareness raises serious questions about their motives. Are they more interested in securing a financial windfall than in resolving the underlying land issue? If so, they are treading on dangerous ground. The Six Nations should be working with the municipalities to restore the land to the Mohawk posterity, not trying to come up with a fair way to tax the land. The SNC's actions are tantamount to theft, and they will only serve to further alienate the Mohawks from the Haldimand tract. The right to the earnings of the land, wealth generation, or the right to tax is the heart of the land issue, those who own the land have the power to tax, In 1994 Brantford Mayor Bob Taylor conducted a commission on the lands claims issue, and found that 90% of Brantford was subject to lands claims, and an astronomical figure of 250 Billion was suggested as the value of the land use. But, after many attempts to get the records, we have no way to know what this number truly represents. Some have suggested this is an admission of past rents due, but I have a feeling this is a buyout price. Again without our own value structure or even reviewing the Brantford’s assessment
we will never know a number, but what magic number allows someone to buy into a treaty right? What number undoes the promise of forever? If taxes were included in the assessed values, that figure may be much higher; today at a compound interest of 6% would be around 650 Billion. Levying taxes and assessed values is a way to assume worth or value. But, it is not evidence of who has the ultimate right to the underlying interest of the lands, which includes infrastructure, wealth generation, natural resources, and of course taxation. The government may have a claim to some of that wealth through taxation, but they do not have a claim to the land itself. This is why I believe that the government does not have the right to levy taxes on our lands. The Municipalities should accept these are not racebased demands, these rights to this land are inclusive of the underlying interest guaranteed to our people in the Haldimand Pledge of 1779, if you are unfamiliar with the concept of Status Quo Ante Bellum, I encourage you now to look it up and then evaluate the language in the pledge, here is a brief overview: The term status quo ante bellum is a Latin phrase meaning "the situation as it existed before the war". The term was originally used in treaties to refer to the withdrawal of enemy troops and the restoration of prewar leadership. Not only is the pledge the ratified treaty, but it also guarantees that the Mohawk would be "restored at the expense of the Government, to the state they were in before

the wars broke out". The Haldimand Pledge of 1779 ... "Sir Guy Carleton, was pleased to promise, as soon as the present troubles were at an end, the same should be restored at the expense of the Government, to the state they were in before the wars broke out, and said promise appearing to me just, I do hereby ratify the same. Proving the use of the concept of Status Quo Ante Bellum, means our debts are paid in full, including all future demands of any taxes or claims on our promised lands. This concept also secured our National right to self-determination, and our right to refuse the Six Nations Council to represent the Haldimand Tract. Confusing our national treaty-making process and our international relationships as race-based is highly damaging, for many reasons, but it's a form of deflection or some hardto-explain form of discrimination, hard to prove ignorance is intentional. Regardless of intention the results are the same, reducing our National character to a race-based issue, arbitrarily denying someone's Nationality is a human rights issue, and simply confusing our National Identity and Treaty issue, as a race issue might delay the remedy process because it does complicate our approach. Having to reset the stage every term, is not only tedious it's designed to wear people thin. The truth is not hard to see, so if you haven't already read our essay Legal Posterity, we explain how to escape the never-ending maze. When a council personal came to my door in 2014, he introduced him-
self as my ward councilor, and gave me his hand, I said before I shake your hand can you tell me if you represent a Mohawk, he said no, and I shook his hand, I stepped out and Dave Neumann and I talked for over an hour, I explained that if you cant represent a Mohawk, how can you claim to tax one. He said that although he can understand what I was asking, he said that taxes are the lifeblood of the city. The city and others along the Grand River are terrified of this supply of blood drying up, and they can't admit that this lifeblood belongs to the Mohawk people. But because Mohawks have no way to recover our underlying interest on our own terms, we are left with scraps, after Cities and Six Nations Councils have their fill, draining every last drop of blood from the land and our Mohawk veins. Don't get me wrong I would love for Mohawks and Six Nations to receive our share of lifeblood, an injection of capital that could help project our aspirations of total liberation, but if this socalled lifeblood is tainted by untruths then, we also become tainted. A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit. A rotten tree only produces rotten fruit, and that is something that Six Nations Council needs to keep in mind while picking fruit from these low-hanging branches. Taking care to protect all interests means taking a close look at that tree, has the tree been made rotten, or is it healthy, fresh, and the fruit ripe for taking?

Chiefs remove Arlen Dumas as grand chief over sexual harassment The Canadian Press WINNIPEG — An Indigenous leader in Manitoba was removed from his job Friday after being accused of sexual harassment. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs voted to drop Arlen Dumas as grand chief during a closed-door meeting in Winnipeg. Dumas had already been suspended without pay after a staff member lodged
a misconduct complaint against him in May. ``There are policies that need to be put in place and women that need to be protected,'' acting grand chief Cornell McLean said following the non-confidence vote among chiefs, which passed by a 30-13 margin. ``When you're a leader in your community you can't (mis)use your power of trust in any way, shape
or form.'' Dumas had said the accusation was unfounded and earlier this week issued a press release that said he was seeking treatment for trauma. He did not attend Friday's meeting and attempts to reach him by The Canadian Press were unsuccessful. An automated response from his email account said he was out of the province.
``There were three requests into his legal counsel and he never responded at all,'' McLean said. The harassment complaint was probed by an independent investigation that found Dumas had engaged in workplace sexual harassment. It was not the first time Dumas had faced a complaint. In 2019, he stepped away from the job tempo-
rarily after an Indigenous woman said he tried to pursue a relationship with her by using a false identity on social media. McLean apologized to both women Friday on behalf of the assembly. His comments were greeted with applause by a group of Indigenous women who were gathered outside the closed-door meeting. ``This is a big step for us as far as it goes with the
chiefs. They're willing to back us up now,'' said Lillian Cook, from Sagkeeng First Nation northeast of Winnipeg. ``There is so much abuse, harassment ... the women are afraid to talk.'' Dumas was first elected grand chief in 2017 and was re-elected last year. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs represents 62 First Nations in the province.

Storage solutions with Van Blanc By Jace Koblun
Van Blanc Enterprises (VB) has been servicing Ontario with shipping containers for several years. VB’s owner, Paul LeBlanc, wants to bring even more secure, mobile and customizable containers to Six Nations and surrounding areas as soon as he can.
Van Blanc Enterprises’ Paul LeBlanc said there are benefits to buying a container over renting them. PHOTO BY VB “People use our containers for many different applications,” said LeBlanc. “A lot of times they are used as an off-shoot to your house or garage; giving you more secure space or storage when you need it most.” Based in Brantford, Ont., VB offers customizable, mobile, secure storage containers to home and business owners, and anybody in-between that could use extra storage. “Whether you’re moving house-to-house or your kids are moving back from college and you need a safe place to stick all your stuff, our containers are perfect,” said LeBlanc. “No mice or rodents can get inside. The containers protect your belongings from all four seasons of weather and we serve all types of clients
across the province.” LeBlanc told the Two Row Times newspaper that not only are the containers for homeowners and their belongings, but business owners or farmers also use them to store items like; cigarettes, ATVs, junk, products, supplies, fruits and vegetables, farming equipment, anything you need. According to LeBlanc, the most popular sizes are 20 and 40 feet in length but there are many types to choose from and custom orders are welcome. “We can add man doors, windows, roll-up doors, garage doors, things like that. We also sell refrigerated containers, known as reefers,” said LeBlanc. VB sells containers and does not rent them out. According to LeBlanc, there are benefits to both, but how long you need a container for determines whether you should purchase or rent.
The most popular container sizes are 20 and 40 feet in length but there are many more types to choose from and custom requests like adding garage or man doors are welcome. PHOTO BY VB “Basically if you’re going to use the box for less than two months, rent it. It’s a cheaper option. But if you’re going to use it for more than two months, buying the con-
tainer is the way to go,” he said. LeBlanc used home renovations as a good example of when you may consider buying a container over renting. “Say you’re getting your kitchen renovated and the contractor says they will be done in six to eight weeks. Projects like that often go beyond schedule and all of a sudden you’re paying a lot more for your box than you would have had you simply purchased one.” An added benefit to purchasing the containers is that you can
resell them when you no longer have a use for them. Or find ways to get creative with it you plan on keeping it. “We are a home-grown, familyowned service provider for everybody in Ontario and we want to do even more business for Six Nations, “ said LeBlanc. “VB really appreciates all the work we’ve already done on the territory and can’t wait to help more people solve their storage issues.” Check out www.vbinc.ca for more info

Why International Youth Day? JACE KOBLUN

TWO ROW TIMES
Did you know half of the people on our planet are 30 years old or younger? This is expected to reach 57 per cent by the end of 2030. The objective of International Youth Day 2022, which falls on Aug. 12, is to amplify the message that action is needed across all generations to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and leave no one behind. “It will also raise awareness on certain barriers to intergenerational solidarity, notably ageism, which impacts young and old persons while having detrimental effects on society as a whole,” says the United Nation. “Ageism is an insidious and often an unaddressed issue in health, human rights and

development, and has bearings on both older and younger populations around the world.” In addition, ageism regularly intersects with other forms of bias (such
NAASSOM AZEVEDO ON
as racism and sexism) and impacts people in ways that prevent them to reach their full potential and comprehensively contribute to their community. The Global Report on
Ageism launched by the United Nations in March 2021 highlights that despite lack of research, young people continue to report age-related barriers in various spheres of their lives such as employment, political participation, health and justice. “The report also identifies intergenerational interventions as one of the three key strategies to address ageism. Intergenerational activities can also lead to a greater sense of social connectedness and strengthen intergenerational solidarity,” says the UN. According to the UN, to achieve SDGs the world needs to leverage the full potential of all generations. Solidarity across generations is key for sustainable development. The theme of this year’s International Youth Day, Intergenerational soli-
darity: Creating a World for All Ages, is to amplify the message that action is needed across all generations to achieve the SDGs and leave no one behind. This theme builds on the momentum from two side events organized by UNDESA and partners earlier this year on 1) ageism in health and employment and 2) ageism in politics on the margins of the 60th Commission for Social Development and the 11th edition of the ECOSOC Youth Forum, respectively. For more information on how to participate in International Youth Day 2022 visit www.un.org.
Fun facts – Surveys show that 67 per cent of people believe in a better future, with 15 to 17-year-olds being the most optimistic about this. – The majority of people agree that the age bal-
ance in politics is wrong. More than two-thirds (69 per cent) of people across all age groups agree that more opportunities for younger people to have a say in policy development/change would make political systems better. – Globally, only 2.6 per cent of parliamentarians are under 30 years old, and less than 1 per cent of these young MPs are women. – International Youth Day is an awareness day designated by the United Nations. The purpose of the day is to draw attention to a given set of cultural and legal issues surrounding youth. The first IYD was observed on August 12, 2000.

Missing woman faces charges in U.S., Canada CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
SASKATOON — A woman who was reported missing with her seven-year-old son is facing criminal charges in Canada and the United States. Saskatoon police said they have charged Dawn Marie Walker, 48, with public mischief and parental abduction in contravention of a custody order. They said the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has also charged her with the felony offence of knowingly producing a passport of another person and a misdemeanour charge of possessing identification that was stolen or produced illegally. Walker and her son were reported missing last month, but police said they were found safe in Oregon City on Friday after allegedly crossing
the border illegally. The boy was returned to Canada on Sunday after a legal guardian picked him up, police said Walker remains in custody in Oregon, where she was scheduled to appear in court on Monday on the U.S. charges. Saskatoon police said officials are working to extradite her back to Canada to face the other offences. ``As the criminal investigation progresses, there may be further charges that Ms. Walker will face as a result,'' Saskatoon police Deputy Chief Randy Huisman said Monday. ``Investigators are looking at several different charges, and in relation to the false identity documents that were alluded to, and how she was able to prepare those documents.'' Police said they began searching for Walker and her son on July 24 after friends reported them

missing. Her red Ford F-150 truck had been found abandoned days earlier at Chief Whitecap Park, just south of Saskatoon, along with some of her personal belongings. RCMP assisted in searching the South Saskatchewan River near the park, using land, air and water crews, while providing daily updates to Walker's family who attended the searches. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, where Walker worked as its chief executive officer, had organized a vigil and walks through the park to raise awareness about the disappearance. The federation also issued its own Amber Alert for Walker and her son, and asked the police to do the same. Police said there wasn't evidence to suggest they were in imminent danger.

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Chiefs have incentive to perform in league playoffs this year: the squad that ends up winning the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) championship this season also earns the right to host the 2022 Mann Cup. Besides the MSL playoff championship, the team that captures the British Columbia-based Western Lacrosse Association title will also compete in the national senior men’s box lacrosse event. The MSL winner will host all of the matches in the best-of-seven Mann Cup series, which will be held in September. Six Nations began its playoff schedule last Wednesday by squaring off against the visiting Cobourg Kodiaks in Game 1 of their best-of-seven MSL semifinal series. Already, the Chiefs have captured three wins.
Their next game, Game 4, will come tonight, Wednesday, August 10. STAFF
On August 3, the Chiefs had a close match with the Kodiaks, coming away with a win 10-9 on their home soil at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The first period saw goals from Shane Simpson and Vaughan Harris, while the second saw Austin Starts put three away and Vaughan Harris go for his second, Sam Lecair also buried. But the third, Austin States put three more away making a six goal impact. For Game 2, the Chiefs came out on top with a close one 8-7 again on August 5 at the Baltimore Recreation Centre Arena. The first period saw goals
from Brendan Bomberry, Charlie Scalon, Dalton Silver and Cody Jamieson. The second saw buries from Austin States and a second for Dalton Silver. In the third, the Kodiaks caught up, but Eric Fannell put one away and Dalton Silver went for his third. Game 3 brought them back to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on August 7, seeing Cody Jamieson and Eric Fannell starting the period off with two goals. Then Joey Cupido and Eric Fannell for his second came through. In the second Vaughan Harris went for two with Dalton Sulver putting a single away. In the third, Sulver got another in the net, while Austin States, Eric Fannell and Joey Cupido put more singles away. This finished the game at a comfortable 11-8 for the Chiefs. Their next game, Game 4, will come tonight, Wednesday, August 10 and take them to the Baltimore Recreation Centre Arena.

Green pitched a complete game to get the win. The Redmen headed to Cambridge for the Ontario Challenge Cup in hopes
of qualifying for the 2022 ISC World Tournament. The Redmen took on the St. Thomas Storm. The Pool B action continued

In Memoriam
It’s been two years since you were taken from us. How senseless and unimaginable yet people wonder what’s the fuss. Try having an empty spot at birthdays, holidays or at the table. Our creator wanted us to teach respect and morals. But some just lie, judge and label. Everyone has to answer to someone and we all will see that day. How you treat people will be questioned in the creator’s way. Johnson and Brenda Sandy In Loving Memory Daylan Sandy Aug 12, 1991 - Aug 14, 2020 Every morning we wake up and start the day without you. How much you were loved and missed nobody has a clue. We miss your love to shop and play lacrosse, we miss you on our trips. Dad misses his #1 navigator For this our hearts still rips. All we have now are memories for which we’ll hold so dear. We know you’re with the creator now so sending “We love you” I know this you’ll hear. Love Dad, mom, brothers and sisters
