The board receives funding from Indigenous Services Canada, also known as Six Nations trust dollars, to provide proper education to Six Nations students.

And now we find, that as the board and it’s senior officials prepare to don their Orange Shirts and post to social media about how “Every Child Matters”… Six Nations students are being left in their orange dust without a classroom.
They may be a member of the LGBTQ2S commu nity who has experienced “othering” in a traditional classroom setting and is looking for a safe space to learn. Others may have challenges at home, or mental health conditions that require the student to be able to participate in lessons at their own pace. It is a critical landing pad for so many Six Nations students who are look ing for an opportunity to complete their high school education — and the NA TIONS/NewStart students deserve better than being left with no answers come back to school season.

As we walk into Truth and Reconciliation Month, GEDSB is failing to provide the basic necessities for indigenous students to have a successful learning environment. Which is shameful considering the boards motto is “Success for every child.” The whole reason why Truth and Rec onciliation Day exists at all — is because of systemic failures by the education systems put in place for indigenous students. It’s a big embarrassing stain on the orange shirts of all GEDSB senior officials and the truth needs to be heard so reconciliation can be made to make this right.

Owen: TikTok made its way into my life at a very in teresting time. I was going through addiction, having spent 10 years of my life in addiction. And just over a year ago I had finally gotten sober and I felt like I need ed to share my story online. I started with YouTube. But realized I was putting a lot of effort into making videos and not getting a good return. So I decided that TikTok would have been better suited for me.

Foxgate Developments, which had been building a housing subdivision on McKenzie Road when it was stopped by Six Nations people and allies in the summer of 2020, is back in court seeking an injunction to oust the people from the land.
An injunction against land defenders in Caledonia that was struck down by Ontario’s highest court last December is back in provincial court.
Dozens of Six Nations people and allies have held the land for over two years, dubbed Land Back Lane.Skyler Williams, who is named in the injunction and has faced numerous charges in relation to Land Back Lane, said he’s confused why the issue is back in court when a higher court had already quashed the previous
injunction.“Itisthe question of the day,” he said. “I wish there was a way I could under stand it, Williamstoo.”said the origi nal injunction was granted in the summer of 2020 without giving Williams or other land defenders a chance to air their side.
