“My first book Thun derstorms was published in February of 2020. Right before the pandemic. And it was an anthology of my work over the years focus ing on adolescence and growing up,” said McKay. “The book I am working on now focuses on grief and trauma while also addressing the loss of my dad to addiction in 2019.” The author said she landed on the title “Sweet grass & Cigarettes” in reference to the first poem in her new book and being in her dad’s car which always carried the scent of cigarettes with sweet grass.“His car smelled like cigarettes and he kept sweetgrass in the rear view mirror,” she ex plained. “I thought it was an interesting juxtapo sition. Exploring themes of trauma, identity and culture is so entwined in that.”McKay said she wants to publish another poetry book to reflect who she is now as a writer in this stage of life. “My first poetry book was a compilation of pieces I wanted to pub lish since I was 16 and although those pieces are a reflection of who I was at the time, I want to have another go at it relating to where I am now,” she added. “Instead of picking entries I had previously written to fill my first book, now I find myself intentionally finding the time to sit and write about things I want to address.” According to McKay, a word she is trying to approach this work with is Healing.“Partsof writing these poems are difficult, emotional and sad. It can feel hopeless but I want it to end on a positive note,” she said. “A large part of this work is not speaking only to inter generational trauma but also the healing of inter generational trauma. My parents’ upbringings have come to affect me and will continue to affect all those who come after me. It is all intertwined and has an impact.“Iam writing a lot about the feelings sur rounding the loss of my dad and leading up to his death. Writing has been cathartic and although it has been three years I still have moments when I realize how difficult it has been and still is. Sometimes I’m OK while other times it feels like he passed only yesterday. Writing about those things brings those feelings to the surface and I need to address them and sit in those feelings to complete this piece of work.” When it comes to publishing more work, be it poetry or playwriting, McKay said it comes down to “Ifcontent.Icanproduce enough content for a book focusing on a certain theme or topic, I would love to continue pub lishing. It all depends on what’s going on in my life. I may begin leaning more towards playwriting in the future because I have done well at that before and want to continue with that.”McKay said the she plans on having the book ready for early 2023. McKay is a Six Nations author and poet.

They were still lit and released and could be seen from outside of Six Nations.Photos of the lanterns floating up in the sky flooded local Facebook groups, even as far as Hamilton.Thestatement said the lanterns were released “in violation of health and safety directives. Not only does this have an adverse effect on our environment, it presents a substantial fire risk as our territory is home to the largest strand of Carolinian forest in the country.”Elected Chief Mark Hill billed the event as a callous disregard for safety of the people.Chief Hill went to the event to speak with the organizers Saturday night.

First win at Canada Summer Games for Nunavut team This year marked the first time Nunavut has competed in a team sport at the Canada Summer Games.

Recently, some of the hereditary chiefs and their supporters came out to condemn the elected lead erships use of language and the word Haudenos aunee in their identifica tion.It was confusing. Why would the hereditary leaders, who are keen on preserving the language and want people in their own community to know and embrace who they are, publicly announce that it was undesirable and improper for certain community members with certain political ideals to use the indigenous languages and cultural symbols that identify us as Haudenosaunee?Sadly,thisispart of an ongoing revisionist effort to corrupt our Six Nations origin stories and obfus cate the truth of our histo ry in a battle of semantics and religious perspectives by attempting to re-write and re-define what it means to be Haudenos aunee.The word Haudeno saunee first showed up in the writings of Henry Lewis Morgan in 1904 as a term the Iroquois Confederacy used to refer to themselves. It was set apart from the term “Iroquois” which was how settlers described the people of the Confederacy, or League of Nations as it was also called — the Mo hawk, Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida and Cayuga. In Morgan’s notes, he says the translation for the term Haudenosaunee was closer to “people of the extended house” and explains that the name describes the Confeder acy’s political structures and principles of inclusion and diversity for those who enter the League properly, first through the Mohawks.
Today, those who represent the Haudenos aunee Confederacy Chiefs Council are attempting to claim ownership over the term Haudenosaunee and teach that the term means “people of the longhouse”. Sometimes, hereditary leaders have used that translation to rationalize excluding the concerns or voices of Six Nations people who don’t follow the Gaiwiyo longhouse tradition or politically support the HCCC. In fact, some people have gone so far as to say that anyone who does not attend longhouse ceremo nies is not a Haudenos auneeThisperson.isapainful act of lateral violence. It is discrimination.

When our ancestors received the Haldimand Tract through the Haldi mand Proclamation, they were Mohawkspredominantlyalongwith other nation warriors the Proclamation calls “Such Others”.Overtime, many non-warrior families of the Iroquois Confederacy who were looking to settle with the Mohawks and Such Others were invited to come and live in peace along the Grand River. This is a proud heri tage that many people who currently live at Six Nations hold sacred. It’s a part of our individual and collective origin stories. However, when it comes to asserting juris diction and the struggle that the HCCC is finding itself in — revisionist history is being utilized to gain a foothold with gov ernments, corporations and developers seeking to make reconciliations toward Six Nations. And it is coming at the expense of harming the very peo ple they claim they must represent.Howare non-Indige nous or non-Six Nations people supposed to know the difference? From the outside looking in, those wearing ribbon shirts and large gustowahs must know what they are talking about, shouldn’t they?Indigenous regalia aside, are they speaking the truth? And how would anyone from the outside world be able to tell that someone claiming to represent the whole is actually representing the people?There is too much mis information afoot. Part of that is opportu nity, taking advantage of a situation where far too many of our people do not know their traditions, and don’t have the choice to participate in civic issues under the leadershipstructureshereditarythatprohibittocertainfami

This year marked the first time Nunavut has competed in a team sport at the amateur sports competition, sending men’s and women’s teams for both indoor and beach volleyball. The team finished their time in the tournament in Ontario’s Niagara region with a triumphant 3-1 win over Team Yukon on Thursday, then a disap pointing 3-0 loss against Northwest Territories early Friday. After losing the first set, Nunavut stepped on the gas and sustained a com manding lead on Yukon for the next three sets. NWT showed off its speed and co-ordination and surged ahead to a commanding 25-12 lead over Nunavut to take Set 1. That momentum con tinued through Set 2 as NWT walked away with a 25-16 win, but Nunavut put the pressure on for Set 3 and even led by a few points during the game. However, they couldn’t sustain the energy and ultimately lost the round 25-21, resulting in a 3-0 defeat.The win stands alone as especially impressive given the obstacles the team has to overcome with training and access to Afterresources.fourgames in their round-robin tour nament, Nunavut walked away with one win and three losses.

This is Wyman’s third attempt at landing a seat as an elected leader — he previously ran in a two man race for District 5 in the 2018 by-election where he acquired just 17 votes, losing to current councillor Kerry Bomberry, and then again in 2019 for the 58th council where he came in last out of the 17 people running with 262 votes. Wyman says he is com mitted to bring community members aboard when it comes to making decisions and says youth input should also be sought by council.

As previously reported by The Canadian Press, briefing materials had been prepared for Indigenous Service Canada on the issue. Officials said efforts to collect census data from Indigenous communities was challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as heat waves and wildfires that swept across British Columbia and northern Ontario. They also flagged how participation in the census had been ``dampened'' by the uncovering of unmarked graves at the former sites of residential schools.

The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - The number of people who speak an Indig enous language has fallen overall in Canada, but the figure grew for the coun try's youngest generation, new census data suggests. Statistics Canada re leased data from the 2021 census that shows about 243,000 people reported being able to speak an Indigenous language, which is a decline from the 2016 census when that figure was around 251,000. The agency also reports, however, that between 2016 and 2021, the num ber of generation Alpha members _ children aged eight or younger _ who can speak an Indigenous language grew from 11,715 to 28,755.Ofthedifferent age cat egories, it was the only one to show an overall increase. The census data suggests that among the greatest generation, people 94 or older, the number of Indige nous-language speakers fell to 120 last year from 575 in 2016, while among the interwar generation of people aged 76 to 93, that number dropped to 9,230 fromStatistics14,120.Canada says more than 70 Indigenous languages are spoken in Canada and the main ones spoken at home are Cree andKevinInuktitut.Lewis, a Cree teacher in Saskatchewan, said the demand for fluent speakers is growing. And it's not just to meet demands in the classroom. Lewis said he's also been approached about finding operators for 911 emergen cy services.
The Canadian Press Toronto Mayor John Tory has apologized for the city's role in arming and cele brating a Canadian militia that suppressed a Metis rebellion in 1885. Tory addressed Toron to's contribution to the Northwest Resistance on Friday while speaking at the Metis Nation of Ontario's Annual General Assembly.TheNorthwest Resis tance was an armed conflict between the followers of Metis leader and politician Louis Riel and a Canadian militia, in what is now Saskatchewan, that lasted from March to May 1885 and culminated in Riel's surrender and hanging. In his apology, Tory said the Metis people were fighting for rights to their land after an influx of set tlers and a decline in bison threatened their survival. The mayor said Toronto contributed to militarized action against Metis people by providing supplies to volunteer troops sent to quash the rebellion, and later held a parade and put up a statue to honour the soldiers. He said that statue still stands today. Tory said all of these ac tions by the city contribut ed to a hostile environment for the Metis people here, forcing them to hide their identities for fear of repri sal -- something he said has affected their community and culture to this day.

Toronto mayor apologizes to Metis
One of the first things he intends to do, if elected, is demand council have in-person meetings again at council chambers. “A lot of people don’t trust what’s going on in council anymore. Yes, Covid is still here but why not open? Let’s open things up. That’s a demand I would put in right away. They don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors and it’s buggingWymaneverybody.”sayshe’ll bring a business perspective to council to help create eco nomic opportunities, “I own multiple business es. I might bring a different way of looking at things. They’re lacking the business acumen that the Six Nations band council used to have.” Wyman is holding a meet and greet Thursday night at his business, the Dixieland Grill, where he hopes to hear concerns from people and what they would like to see council work on. Two other candidates are running in the by-election but could not be reached. Those candidates are Gregory Frazer, and Vernice “Pixie” Gladys Hill. Gregory Frazer ran in the 2019 election and came in 11th place behind Alaina VanEvery with 571 votes. The by-election will take place in person on Sept. 3 at Dajoh (the elder’s centre beside the Six Nations Community) on Fourth Line Road. Previous elections have utilized online voting, however for this by-election only in person voting has been announced. In order to vote, you must be a Six Nations band member and present a valid Indian Status Card at the time of voting.

“The Masters Indigenous Games creates competitive sport opportunities for In digenous athletes with the goal of more active, healthy lives, and stronger commu nities,” says Marc Laliberte, President of Indigenous Sport and Wellness Ontario (ISWO). “After postponing the 2021 Games because of the COVID-19 pandem ic, athletes are looking forward to being active and connecting with their peers in a fun and cultur ally rich environment. The Masters Indigenous Games provides a next step in the Indigenous sport pathway and showcases sport as a lifelong pursuit. Sport is healing, and it’s truly pow erful medicine. Whether you’re eight or 80, sport and healthy competition gives one a good feeling, and provides opportunities to connect with others and experience new things.”
The difficult decision to postpone the previously scheduled Masters Indige nous Games (MIG) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has opened for the 2023 MIG to take place on the traditional territory and unceded homelands of the Algonquin, who have in habited the Ottawa region and surrounding lands from time immemorial.
