KI in mining battle on traditional land Shawn Bell

Special to Wawatay News

The fight over mineral exploration on traditional Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) lands is threatening to erupt into direct action. God’s Lake Resources said it will ignore an eviction notice issued by KI, but community leaders promise not to back down. The junior mining exploration company was issued the eviction notice Sept. 29 after hunters from KI discovered an exploration camp on the north shore of Sherman Lake. God’s Lake responded to the notice, claiming that KI was using “religion, rhetoric and bureaucracy” to make outrageous demands of mining companies. God’s Lake CEO Eduard Ludwig said the company would ignore the eviction notice and continue exploration in the winter. The issue has left KI in a state of déjà vu, reliving the possibility of a situation that landed Chief Donny Morris and five other band members in jail in 2008. The group, known as the KI 6, ignored a court order allowing an exploration company to drill on KI’s traditional lands. “We’re travelling down the road once again of how we dealt with the previous company,” said KI spokesman John Cutfeet. When Morris and the others were released from jail in May 2008 following an appeal, Cutfeet said the courts set out a clear mandate that the Crown has a duty to negotiate in good faith with First Nations. “It’s been quite clear the requirements by law, yet at the same time God’s Lake Resources continues to do

what they want with a permit issued (by the Ontario government) after the 2008 ruling,” he said. Both KI and God’s Lake point to the Ontario government’s shortcoming to set clear guidelines for consultation in regards to exploration on traditional lands. Prior to the Oct. 6 provincial election KI issued a press release saying it would hold Premier Dalton McGuinty “personally responsible” for the transgression of traditional land if his government did not step in to stop the exploration work. God’s Lake, meanwhile, said the two sides need government direction on how to proceed when consultation breaks down. “We recognize that KI and (God’s Lake Resources) may have one goal in common,” Ludwig said in a statement. “The Ontario First Nations and all claimholders in Ontario need to have guidelines that help us to interact respectfully, when the recommended consultation process fails.” The company noted that under Ontario’s Mining Act, an exploration company has only two years to carry out and report work on staked mining claims. If no work is done, the claims expire. “Under the new Mining Act, claimholders in Ontario do not require permission from First Nations – rather, they are required to consult with First Nations,” a press release from God’s Lake’s said. “In our current case, KI chose to stonewall, rather than to communicate back on burial site locations, or allow any form of consultation.” see KI page 6

North Spirit Lake students race to the doors for recess Sept. 27 in the foyer of the new Victoria Linklater Memorial School. The four-classroom school can accommodate 96 students and features a library, computer lab and gymnasium. The community celebrated the grand opening of the school Sept. 28 after years of lobbying the federal government for a new one.

cussed orally before the treaty was signed, Gagnon said. He said notes were taken at the time of the signing and what was said orally differs from what is written about land use. “We didn’t agree to that orally, we agreed to share the land,” Gagnon said. Also, Gagnon said it wasn’t discussed that traditional activities could only take place under the treaty areas and boundaries of individual reserves. “Treaty activities could have gone on anywhere, and people could go anywhere to do it,” Gagnon said. “There were no lines before and we were told there would be no lines.” In a Matawa press release, the communities said the declaration was signed to exercise their inherent and treaty rights, without limitations imposed by others. The declaration will be used as a tool for unity to protect rights, which include the right to give or withhold consent on activity taking place on the First Nations lands. Also, they will consider the use of any options to ensure that the development of their homelands occurs only with the free, informed and prior consent by the 14 First Nations. “The Cree and Ojibway people have used oral tradition to pass down to each generation the promises which were made by the treaty commissioners to our people, and the promises that were made by our people to the Crown. Those promises did not include giving up our land or our right to govern

ourselves,” said Mushekgowuk Grand Chief Stan Louttit. Treaty No. 9, or the James Bay Treaty, was one of the last treaties to be signed in Canada and the only treaty signed by both federal and provincial governments. The Nations who first signed in 1905-06 were the Canadian government, the Ontario government, and the Cree, Ojibway and Algonquin people who occupied the areas south of the Albany River. Adhesions with Cree and Ojibway communities north of the Albany River were signed in 1929-30. Treaty No. 9 encompasses almost two thirds of Ontario. Chief Celia Echum of Ginoogaming First Nation said that the oral treaty rights are just as binding as the written rights protected in Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Act of 1980. “The people of Matawa and Mushkegowuk have had ties with each other since time immemorial. We are pleased to work together on implementation of the Oral Treaty,” Echum said. The Matawa communities that signed the declaration are Aroland, Constance Lake, Ginoogaming, Long Lake #58, Neskantaga, Nibinamik and Webequie First Nations. The communities from Mushkegowuk that signed are Chapleau Cree, Moose Cree, Taykwa Tagamou, Missanabie Cree, Fort Albany, Kashechewan and Attawapiskat First Nations.

North Spirit Lake celebrates new school Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

Lenny Carpenter/Wawatay News

Community members and leaders from North Spirit Lake First Nation celebrate the grand opening of its new Victoria Linklater Memorial School Sept. 28 after years of lobbying the federal government for a new school.

After years of lobbying the federal government, North Spirit Lake celebrated the grand opening of its new school Sept. 28. “We’ve been patient all these years and now we’re excited about this new school,” said Chief Rita Thompson. The Victoria Linklater Memorial School is a four-classroom school built to accommodate 96 students from kindergarten to Grade 9. The school is 1,545 squaremetres in size and features a library, computer lab and gymnasium. The new school replaces one built in 1972, which also had four classrooms, but lacked a gymnasium, computer lab and a library. It also had structural issues. The band council claims students would get headaches believed to have been caused by mould. And the furnace would break down from time to time, cancelling classes in the winter. “It was boring because we’d have to stay in class all day,” Georgette Keno, a Grade 8 student, said of the small building. She said each class at the old school only had one computer with Internet access, the washrooms were in poor condition and some windows were boarded up. With the new school, she said, “it’s a lot

better” with the additions of a library, gym and computer lab. North Spirit Lake was initially promised a new school by the federal government in August 2006. More than a year later, the community was told funding would be delayed for up to five years due to “funding pressures.” Then, in April 2009, the government announced it would provide $14 million for the school under the Canada Economic Action Program. The band council estimates the community had at least nine chiefs who have fought to get a new school. “Everybody’s happy to finally get it,” Thompson said. “Our children will be able to have a better education and with better technology and facilities.” Construction for the school began in the spring of 2010 and was completed in August 2011. The school’s exterior includes a baseball diamond, soccer pitch and a separate fenced area for kindergarten children with playing equipment. The school name is carried over from the previous school, which was named after a community Elder who lobbied to have a school built before the community even had houses, electricity and running water. The community celebrated the completion of the new school with a grand opening ceremony and community feast Sept. 28.

McGuinty’s Liberals return Shoal Lake #39 protest for third consecutive term water rights in Winnipeg Rickard has no regrets in failed election bid Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

There are no regrets from Timmins-James Bay Liberal candidate Leonard Rickard on his decision to run in the provincial election. “It’s probably one of the most humbling and inspiring things I’ve ever done,” the Moose Cree First Nation member said. “I’ve met so many interesting people, learned so much about our riding and communities, and really made me realize how fortunate I am for being able to go out and meet people, who I didn’t know five to six weeks ago, who came out to support me.” Rickard was easily beat out by incumbent NDP Gilles Bisson, who retained his seat at Queen’s Park by securing 49.7 per cent of the votes, while PC Al Spacek received 36.4 per cent. Rickard received 12.4 per cent, with a total of 2,856 votes. “Obviously, I was disappointed,” Rickard said of the results. “I didn’t go into this election not to win, but just being inspired by people’s support was a great thing for me, and a real learning experience.” Rickard said he felt a sense of pride in representing First Nations people in the election. “Going to the First Nation communities, everyone was welcoming and super supportive,” he said. “A few people came up to me and said they were glad that a First Nations person was running, and I was glad to be that person.” The election campaign proved to be a busy time for Rickard, not only with his traveling and public appearances, but in his personal life as well. He was married two

weeks prior to the election and recently learned he and his wife are expecting a child. “I haven’t had a chance to enjoy being married so far and absorb the fact that we have a baby coming next spring, so there’s a lot going for me,” he said.

“It’s probably one of the most humbling and inspiring things I’ve ever done.”

– Leonard Rickard

With the election over, Rickard returns to work as CEO of CreeWest, a small, communityowned airline company in the North. While Rickard was unable to secure a seat for his party, Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals will be returning to Queen’s Park with a minority government, falling one seat short of winning a third consecutive majority. In total, the Liberals ended up with 53 seats, losing 19 seats from the 72 it had in the 2007 elections. They captured 37.6 per cent of the popular vote, with the Progressive Conservatives close behind at 35.4 per cent and the NDP at 22.7 per cent. NAN Grand Chief Stan Beardy congratulated Premier Dalton McGuinty in securing his third consecutive term. “NAN is mandated to work with all political parties and all levels and therefore we will continue to push for meaningful dialogue with the elected officials of Ontario,” he said in a press release. Regional Chief Angus Tou-

louse also congratulated the Liberals in a press release, adding that First Nations education should be a priority for the government. “Empowering First Nations young people with culturally appropriate and academically solid education unlocks an economic potential for all of Ontario by securing a stable and productive work force,” he said. “We appreciate the premier’s fervour to address the education gap that exists between First Nations and their mainstream counterparts but above all - we support First Nations in their inherent right to construct education systems that transmit culture, language and values.” In other northern Ontario ridings, the people in the Thunder Bay region will be seeing familiar faces. In Thunder Bay-Atikokan, Liberal Bill Mauro barely retained his seat with 10,326 votes (39 per cent), beating out NDP Mary Kozorys (9,874 votes, or 37.3 per cent) and PC Fred Gilbert (22 per cent). In Thunder Bay-Superior North, incumbent Liberal Michael Gravelle retained his seat (45 per cent), beating out NDP Steve Mantis (34.9 per cent) and PC Anthony Leblanc (17.5 per cent). Kenora-Rainy River and Timiskaming-Cochrane elected NDP representatives. NDP Sarah Campell (49.2 per cent) beat out PC Rod McKay (38.1 per cent) and Liberal Anthony Leek (9.9 per cent) in Kenora-Rainy River. In Timiskaming-Cochrane NDP John Vanthof had 50.1 per cent of the votes, easily beating out Liberal Denis Bonin (25.9 per cent) and PC Randy Aulbrook (21.2 per cent).

Iskatewizaagegan (Shoal Lake #39) First Nation completed a four-day, 300-kilometre walk Oct. 7 arriving at the Manitoba Legislature in Winnipeg to protest their water rights. The walk began Oct. 3, the anniversary of the signing of Treaty 3. For more than a century the province of Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg have been granted free access to fresh water running from Iskatewizaagegan traditional territory without proper discussion, consent or compensation to the First Nation, the community claims. “Since the arrival of the first European settlers it has been

our people’s position that we would share our resources with them to ensure their survival … the fact that we negotiated as treaty partners affirms our sovereignty over the natural resources and wealth in our homeland,” said Chief Eli Mandamin of Iskatewizaagegan. In July, Winnipeg and Manitoba agreed to split the cost of extending Winnipeg’s water and sewage-treatment services and hopes to sell some of these services to neighbouring communities. Iskatewizaagegan asked Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz to postpone their water extension plans but, according to the First Nation, their concerns were ignored. Iskatewizaagegan said the community has experienced

impacts on their wild rice harvesting and lakeside erosion because of the water extraction. “The Anishinaabe of Iskatewizaagegan have indicated they feel their human rights are being violated by the continued extraction of water, and future plans to sell the water, from the Shoal Lake. You would think that would be a serious enough complaint that governments would come to the table for discussion,” Ontario regional chief Angus Toulouse said. The walk was in protest of Manitoba and Winnipeg’s plan to continue extracting water from Iskatewizaagegan’s territory without consent. The community is also asking for $124-million per year for water taken from their territory.

Commentary

Burning ring of fire Xavier Kataquapit Under the northern sky

y friends have always been amazed at the fact that I know the words to so many old country tunes. Well, I was brought up listening day and night to my parents’ collection of country music records and for better or worse they are etched in my memory banks forever. One tune in particular, Ring of Fire, seems to have more meaning than most these days. Of course the Ring of Fire I am referring to has to do with the huge exploration and development of resources occurring about 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay. This is a huge chunk of virgin wilderness that has been used traditionally by First Nations in that area. Right now it seems as though just about everybody in the mining industry has some claim to a part of this promising bit of wilderness. You might think that we could just take our time to develop the last remaining wilderness in this province but rabid industrial development knows no boundaries and has no respect for timing. If you look at the historical development of resources throughout the world you quickly learn that when there is something valuable on or in the land it is sought after and harvested with little attention to the people, animals and natural life that has existed there for centuries. That is just a fact of business. In the case of the Ring of Fire we have the opportunity to do things differently. We have the chance to develop this huge area of resource rich land in a way that benefits the First Nations who have traditional ties to this place. We can also choose to do so in a cooperative manner that would make sure we protect the land and its animals as much as possible so that the environment is not devastated by our development of the resources. At the same time we have the ability to develop all the resources so that First Nations and industry can all benefit and proceed in a harmonious way. Those opportunities are there but it is up to our Native and non-Native leaders to figure out how to make it happen in a positive way. It makes no sense to go to war and start huge conflicts merely for the almighty dollar

in developing these pristine traditional lands. Nobody would really win in this scenario. However, make no mistake about it no matter what government is in place or how much money or power industry has, if fair deals are not made with the First Nations of the Ring of Fire nothing will ever be developed in this area. There will be a conflict that we will all have to endure for decades and we will waste a lot of energy, time and good will in a pointless fight. Industry and government have people who are very good with numbers so you would think that they will quickly figure out that it is far better for them to give up a piece of their pie to make sure that development happens in a good way and that First Nations benefit from the mining, forestry and hydro projects that are going to happen in northern Ontario. The days of pushing First Nations around, ignoring them and taking advantage of them are over. Those days are gone. Most resource industry people understand that and many new initiatives all over the country are happening in a way that everyone is benefiting and good resource development projects are going ahead. However, there are still some Neanderthals in the business world that are holding on to outdated and nasty racist and colonial ways of seeing things. Time to get rid of them because if you don’t the projects they are in charge of will never move ahead. People like Shawn Batise, executive director of Wabun Tribal Council, has been working with his chiefs for years in developing all types of agreements with resource development companies that benefit all parties involved. I have seen many great projects proceed in the Wabun lands that prove good things can happen when there is a will to work together. I also see developments in the Ring of Fire as with the newly developed office by Ministry of Northern Development Mines and Forestry dedicated to making things happen in a positive way and helping the stakeholders work together. If things go well then the Ring of Fire will burn in a good way and offer us some light in this huge development. However, if we don’t want to work together, then remember the words to Johnny Cash’s song: “I fell in to a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down and the flames they got higher. And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire.” www.underthenorthernsky.com

Seeing the world in a new way Richard Wagamese One Native Life

hen I was nine I got eye glasses for the first time. I was born with terrible astigmatism but it went undiagnosed and uncorrected until I was adopted. Up until then I had just assumed that everyone saw the world the same way that I did – all fuzzy blurry and devoid of detail. But those new lenses brought everything into a sharp and sudden focus and I was amazed. I never knew such a world existed. Learning to see was an adventure. I spent weeks examining things I thought I knew, things I thought that I recognized and things I had just believed were the out of kilter things I’d grown used to. My world changed. Not only was I able to adjust how I moved through it, I changed the way I related to it because I could now define it accurately. It was a huge development in my life. Just recently I’ve taken up photography. It’s been some-

thing I’ve wanted to do for a long time mostly because I’m a poor visual artist and the only painting I do that looks like it’s supposed to is on the walls and even there my edges could use a lot of work. I’ve always been awed by the texture and detail of things and I wanted to be able to capture that sense of wonder. Taking a picture is how I can render the world into art or at least, a semblance of it. When I was small all that everyone had were those old Instamatic cameras or the Polaroids that allowed you to hold the picture in your hand and watch it develop. I was always amazed when I stood and saw the image emerge from the paper like a ghost from the shadows. Even then photography was like a magic show for me. Nowadays, of course, we have the new digital cameras. The one I use is a Nikon D80 digital SLR. That’s camera lingo for Single Lens Reflex which in turn is photo nerd for “there’s a lot more buttons on mine.” It just means there’s more to confuse me really and there are times that I miss the old point and shoot cameras. Fortunately there’s an automatic mode on the camera that still lets me do that.

That Nikon takes wonderful pictures and I’m amazed at how easily I’ve come to understand how to use it. There are a lot of complicated things to learn about a high falootin’ camera but I’ve managed to take some great shots with it and it’s encouraging me to go further. I experiment with shutter speeds and apertures now and I’ve even become familiar with ISO settings, white balance and the really cool flash attachment. What I like most about photography is that it gets me out onto the land. I don’t want to take pictures of cities, I’d rather preserve images of the land, the small details I usually miss or the view I might not stop long enough to recognize. Having a camera gives me a good excuse to get out on the land often and I’ve taken a lot of hikes over the summer just to shoot images. The other thing I like is that I’m learning to see the world in a whole new way again. Just like when I got my first pair of eye glasses I’m actually learning to really see it. I used to walk around oblivious to the simple beauty of things but having a camera makes me really focus and look hard at the world. I’m getting used to really looking at things and

seeing them as I might frame them for a photograph. It’s really changed the way I interpret the world. I never knew such shapes and textures existed. I’ve taken photos of plants, trees, rocks, the sky and stunning landscapes. I’ve taken pictures of moss, fungi, the way a rock overhangs the startling blue of a glacial lake, shadow, the effect of light on the land and the faces of my friends when they don’t know I’m shooting them. My camera makes me more conscious of the world and the people around me and I love that ongoing and empowering connection. That’s odd because one of the things I’ve learned over time is how much the land informs my sense of identity as an Ojibway person. But even we Native people get preoccupied and lose connection to the simple things around us. Having a camera on hand keeps me looking, keeps me searching for art in the simplest of places and there’s art everywhere because if there’s one thing I’ve learned – it’s that the Creator can really paint. I’m getting better at recognizing the magnificent hand of Creation in the land and the world around me.

Matrimonial property is defined as the family home

a married couple resides in and includes all items of value acquired during the marriage. Bill S-2 is defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an Act respecting family homes situated on First Nation reserves and matrimonial interests or rights in or to structures and lands situated on those reserves.â&#x20AC;? But, Mike Metatawabin, NAN deputy grand chief said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the proposed legislation presents a real concern for First Nation people living on reserve as Bill S-2 does not respect First Nation jurisdictional rights.â&#x20AC;? NAN also said there is no funding attached to the Bill to support communities to develop their own laws in regards to MRP and there is a potential for the removal of people living within the family home. This will pose complications in NAN territory because a majority of homes are band owned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government still has

KI â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;standing up for rightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from page 1 On the surface, the debate revolves around KIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim there may be sacred burial sites located on the land near the site of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploration camp. The public conflict started when Morris accused Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;reckless explorationâ&#x20AC;? that put sacred burial sites at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake recklessly and deliberately ignored our advice and entered the land,â&#x20AC;? Morris said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in this reckless act may have desecrated graves of our ancestors and disturbed other important community areas and values.â&#x20AC;? The company responded by saying KI is out of line with its

demands since exploration has gone on in the area for over 70 years with no sign of graves and no attempt by KI to identify grave sites. But Cutfeet said First Nations people in northern Ontario have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally disregardedâ&#x20AC;? by mining companies and the government over the past 70 years. His people have been chased off the land in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;regime of terror,â&#x20AC;?

Broadband project will ‘open new world’ Shawn Bell

Special to Wawatay News

Despite delays during the first year of broadband Internet cable construction in northern Ontario, the project that is being lauded as essential for the future of First Nation communities has seen work started on three fronts. Construction on The Northern Ontario Broadband Expansion Project kicked off in the spring after a federal environmental assessment was approved in April. Since then, despite setbacks caused by forest fires, over 270 kilometres of broadband cable has been laid in three separate parts of northwestern Ontario. Also, a regional First Nation construction company has been awarded a contract for a huge portion of the project. That awarding of the contract has led Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Stan Beardy to vouch that the project has started to show “extended, long-term benefits” for First Nations people in northern Ontario.

The project, explained The Northern Ontario Broadband Expansion Project will eventually connect 26 remote First Nation communities along a network of 2,300 kilometres of fibre optic cable. It has been lauded by government leaders at both the federal and provincial level. Beardy said it will “open up a new world” for people in Nishnawbe Aski communities, bringing e-health, telemedicine and online education to young and old alike. Nearly one year since the funding for the $81 million project was set in place, work has started on three fronts across northwestern Ontario. Broadband lines are now stretching north from Red Lake towards Pikangikum; between Ignace and Mishkeegogamang; and connecting Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) and Wapekeka. But those lines are just the

beginning. By 2014, if all goes according to plan, 26 communities across the North will be connected by a broadband cable loop running from Red Lake in the west to KI in the north, to Ogoki River in the east and back south to Ignace.

“We cannot get left behind” Beardy calls technology “the final frontier” when it comes to First Nation development. Looking back on the industrial revolution, Beardy said in his mind the fact that First Nation people missed out on that development has left them struggling to catch up ever since. The broadband project and the opportunities that will come from high speed Internet in every community are crucial to ensuring that does not happen in the technological age, Beardy said. “We’ve been pushing very hard to make sure young people have access to technology,” Beardy said. “But if First Nations don’t have the infrastructure, there is a danger we can get left behind. And if First Nations are left behind on this, we’ll be left behind forever.” While NAN is not a financial partner on the project, it has set up a position – director of special projects (broadband) – to help coordinate First Nation involvement in the broadband initiative. But getting the broadband installed is not the end of the line. Beardy called the technology “a backbone,” but noted that it will be up to the individual communities to make use of the technology. “It is up to each First Nation to create programming,” he said, pointing to current telehealth and online high school programs already running in some NAN communities as an example of what the future may hold across the North.

Phases one through five The Northern Ontario Broadband project is set up in five phases. Phase one, underway

since the spring, had planned to finish 370 kilometres of broadband lines in three separate regions of northwestern Ontario. About 270 kilometres of line has been laid. Contracts for phases two to four have already been awarded. Forty per cent of the work in those three phases was awarded to regional First Nation company ConCo in September. The fifth phase covers lines from Summer Beaver to Webequie and east to Ogoki River. The contract for that phase has not been granted yet as Bell Aliant wants to see whether the first phases of the contract will stay on time and budget. Bell Aliant spokeswoman Norma Hughes said the company has “every intention of proceeding” on phase five, but right now its “full intention is with projects one through four.”

Stumbling blocks As the first year of construction has shown, the broadband project is a complex undertaking over a huge landscape with a variety of potential problems. The forest fires that raged across northern Ontario during the summer are one example of how the project could be set back. Hughes could not say exactly how the fires affected the first year of construction, only that they caused “significant delays.” There is also a tight time deadline for one portion of the funding. The federal government contribution of $23.3 million comes in part through Industry Canada’s Canada Action Plan stimulus money. That portion – $14 million – has to be spent by January 2012. Meanwhile the partners are still waiting on approval from 17 of the 26 affected First Nations to access reserve lands. Bell Aliant needs permission from each community to run the line from the edge of the reserve to the equipment on site. Currently only nine communities have submitted those approvals to Bell.

A map outlines the route and phases for the roll out of the 2,300 kilometre fibre optic line going to 26 First Nations in the Nishnawbe Aski territory. The project is expected to be complete by 2014. director of special projects (broadband), said NAN has received verbal assurances from every community that the agreements will come, but many of the communities were delayed by the fall hunting season in getting the written agreements to the company. Hughes cautioned that each agreement has to be in place before work can proceed on running a line to the community and that the company would be prepared as a last resort to remove the community from the project if the agreement was not received in time.

First Nation employment One of the major benefits NAN extols about the project is the ability for local communities to get involved in construction and future maintenance of the broadband lines. Beardy said the ConCo agreement is an excellent example of First Nation people benefiting from the employment

opportunities of the project. “Having our own construction company, it puts us in a position of advantage to maximize the labour portion with outside expertise,” Beardy said. “That’s one of our objectives, to maximize the benefits of jobs and economic spinoffs.” Hughes also pointed to the communities of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug and Wapekeka, where the line work done this past summer was completed entirely by the communities, as examples of local First Nations can have employment benefits from the project.

Going forward While phase one has seen delays, the project’s proponents expect to have about 370 kilometres laid out by the end of the year. Phase one also includes installing equipment to connect networks in Balmertown, Pikangikum, Savant Lake, Mishkeegogamang, Osnaburgh House and Pickle Lake to the

main line. Phase two is expected to lay about 470 kilometres of broadband line in 2012. Phase three plans for about 190 kilometres of line to be installed and phase four has about 1,100 kilometres planned. Meanwhile, NAN is working on creating inventories of the people and skills available in each community to help contractors hire local people during the work. Although there have been many questions from communities on the details of the project, Beardy said most First Nation people in Ontario’s Far North understand that the project holds great promise for the region. “Any time you have a new idea, people have a lot of questions,” Beardy said. “But as long as we have control over what comes onto our territory, we stand to benefit.” Visit www.nanbroadband.ca for more info about the project.

Environment conference highlights best practices Rick Garrick

Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug’s garden education project is expanding knowledge of vegetables and other foods in the community. “I finally know what squash looks like and what it tastes like,” said KI Chief Donny Morris during an Oct. 7 phone interview. “This first year is just a learning process, so hopefully next year other things will come into play, other parties will feel they would like to contribute to the process of us as a community growing our own food and processing it for the community use. That is the whole intent.” Morris said his community is considering raising lambs after sampling lamb meat through the gardening project, which was done in partnership with the Food Security Research Network at Lakehead University. “It’s very delicious,” Morris said about the lamb. “It’s good, tender and we want to entertain the idea of seeing what we can do ... with lamb.” Morris said the community is also looking at what vegetables are feasible to grow in their area. “What we’re discussing right now is how do we get an early

start on our growing season,” Morris said. “We have had a mild winter, an early spring and a dry season, so how do we take advantage of that.” Five community members took part in the gardening project, which involved three education sessions over the summer at a garden site near Thunder Bay. Five more community members are scheduled to attend the education sessions next summer. The gardening project was highlighted during the Northern Ontario First Nations Environment Conference, held Oct. 4-7 at the Fort William Historical Park near Thunder Bay. The conference also included a number of unique workshops, including a field trip to a nearby waste facility lead by True Grit Consulting and a Matawa First Nations workshop on benthic invertebrate collection focusing on bottom feeding insects in nearby streams. “That was collecting bugs from the bottom of the river and looking at them as indicators of stream health for community-based environmental monitoring,” said Sarah Cockerton, program coordinator for Matawa Four Rivers Environmental Services Group. “Looking at them is an approach

First Nation representatives from across northern Ontario gathered in Thunder Bay Oct. 4-7 for the first Northern Ontario First Nations Environment Conference. The gathering was a chance to learn, share, network and generate new dialogue on important environmental issues facing regional First Nations. we are really excited about at Matawa because we think this is going to be a way the Matawa communities or any communities can really get involved in monitoring.” Cockerton said another highlight during the conference was

a presentation by the Mushkegowuk Environmental Research Centre on First Nation capacity in reviewing and monitoring impacts of mining activities, including the challenges First Nations communities face in the environmental permitting

process and community-based monitoring and baseline data collection. The conference included workshops on fuel spill response and product transfer area design, waste site and hazardous waste manage-

ment, indoor air quality, joint environmental assessment processes, community based environmental monitoring, the Chiefs of Ontario’s First Nations environmental assessment toolkit, drinking source water protection, traditional ecological knowledge collection, mining capacity building and community protection, community gardens, environmental health, energy conservation and efficiency, renewable energy, recycling programs and making dirty water clean. “The planning committee really focused on bringing together environmental planners, technologists, researchers, and specialists who can really focus on what is important to First Nation communities today,” said Natalie Popovic, Windigo First Nations Council technical unit representative and conference planning committee member. “Right now, most of this work revolves around protecting and healing our Mother Earth. Environmental damage has a tremendous impact on First Nations people whose lives are traditionally, culturally, spiritually and physically connected to the land.” A trade show was also held on the third day of the conference.

Achievements recognized at First Nations Women’s Day event Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Renee Tookenay’s battle against addictions, both her own and others as well, led to her award at the First Nations Women’s Day 3rd Annual Recognition Dinner. “For the last 10 years I’ve been trying to help others as well as trying to help myself,” said the Fort William band member during the Oct. 5 award dinner. “Sharing and giving through my experience helps others at the same time as it helps me. We journey together.” Although Tookenay had previously volunteered to help people battle their addictions over the past 10 years, she faced her biggest battle over the past couple of years when she became addicted to painkillers after suffering injuries to her feet. “So that is what started the prescription addiction,” she said. Tookenay knew what could happen when using prescription drugs and although she didn’t want to use the drugs, she eventually began using them to help with the pain from her foot injuries. “It can happen to anybody,” she said. Tookenay found the most difficult aspect of quitting prescription drugs to be the pain and suffering experienced during the withdrawal stage. “I didn’t want to suffer and I believe nobody wants to suffer the pain of coming off it,” she said. “Your body is aching. Your mind is saying you want it but mostly it’s physical. It’s really strong.”

Renee Tookenay, left, received an award for her battle against addictions at the First Nations Women’s Day 3rd Annual Recognition Dinner Oct. 5 in Thunder Bay. Tookenay was pleased with the support she received from people, organizations and her family. “I hurt a lot of people in the process,” Tookenay said. “They didn’t enable me. They didn’t try and sugar coat it.” She said it is important for family members to stand up and tell the addict what they are doing is wrong and they are

hurting themselves. “Nobody wants to see their family in pain, so how do you want to help that person?” she said. “You don’t want to see them like this, not able to move and bedridden.” When Tookenay was addicted to the prescription drugs, she didn’t see all the options available to her even though she had been helping

others with similar addictions previously. “It wasn’t that I enjoyed being high,” Tookenay said. “It was basically that I would suffer, I would be in pain, not because of my feet anymore, it takes over your whole body. My back was aching, my hands were aching … everything was aching.” Tookenay now uses cultural

ways, supports in the community and her Creator to deal with issues stemming from her prescription drug addiction. “Don’t be afraid to suffer and it will get better,” Tookenay said. “Pain is inevitable, but be strong and get through it. It doesn’t last; it goes away. The body does heal itself again.” Elaine Anderson, Margaret Bighead, Miranda Bouchard,

Cindy Crowe, Melissa Deschampes, Dawn Harvard, Tracey Linden, Sarah Matasawagon, Patricia Mishibinijima, Rosalind Moonias, Bernice Pelletier, Keirsten Sagutch, Dawn Willoughby and NAN’s Women’s Council also received awards during the award dinner, which took place at the Prince Arthur Waterfront Hotel and Suites in Thunder Bay.

Community gardens a hit in remote First Nations Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Fresh lettuce was available for the first time in Wawakapewin this summer. “We were so excited because so many of our community members were actually able to access lettuce,” said Arlene Meekis, a Lakehead University student and former economic development officer in Wawakapewin. “We are a very remote community with no airstrip. Just depending on floatplane charters, you really have to be careful about what you bring in, so perishables are kind of low on the priority list.” The lettuce was grown in a community garden along with a variety of other vegetables, such as carrots, onions, potatoes, as part of the community’s food procurement program. “We plan to expand the program next year,” Meekis said. “It’s a pilot program, but I’m really excited with all the developments we’ve seen this year. It’s expanding the diet into things we have not previously had available to us.” Meekis said processed foods are usually shipped to the community because it costs less to transport them. “But it’s not nearly as healthy for us,” Meekis said, explaining the high sodium and high sugar content of processed foods contributes to diabetes and other diet related problems in the community. Wawakapewin, Wapekeka and Kasabonika were involved in the pilot project developed by

the Indigenous Health Group at the University of Ottawa in 2009. The project provides support for local food procurement initiatives, such as developing local community gardens and capacity for hunting, fishing and harvesting. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and the Public Health Agency of Canada funded the project. Meekis is looking forward to expanding the project next year to include home canning of fruits and traditional foods using mason-type jars, so the community is not so reliant on frozen food. The community once had a four-day power outage, which thawed out all their frozen food. “We started on that this year with some jams and jellies,” Meekis said. “And next year we would like to ... can some fish, caribou and moose meat.” Kasabonika also planted a community garden this year with potatoes, green onions, onions, tomatoes, strawberries, carrots, squash and cucumbers. “We had lots of tomatoes, lots of potatoes, lots of green onions and lots of strawberries,” said Cathy Pemmican, a community prevention services worker in Kasabonika. “We didn’t think anything would come out of it, but it did. So now there is an interest; (community members) are talking about growing their own garden.” The community also has a traditional food program, which involves the Elders preparing traditional foods and

teaching youth preparation methods. “They’re interested in the traditional program and traditional foods,” Pemmican said about the youth. “We need to preserve our culture.” Wapekeka planted beans, sweet peas, carrots, onions, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, strawberries, parsley, potatoes and corn in their community garden. “We took turns taking care of the garden,” said Chris Anderson, land and resource worker in Wapekeka. “Our Elders practiced gardening in their day, but we never picked it up.” About a dozen people took part in the garden project, which was located on the west side of the community. They mixed black earth from near the community and storebought fertilizer with the sandy soil to prepare it for seeding. Many of the youth involved with the gardening project also started their own little gardens at home. “This one little lady put beans, peas and sunflower seeds down there, and it turned out pretty good,” Anderson said. Although community members only ate the vegetables they knew during the first harvest of the garden, they soon learned all the vegetables were good. Kasabonika also has a traditional food program, which involves hunting by traditional hunters, sorting by women and distribution by youth once or twice a season.

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A Class Environmental Assessment for Activities of the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry under the Mining Act that are subject to the Environmental Assessment Act The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry is developing a class environmental assessment under the Environmental Assessment Act for its activities under the Mining Act. These activities include discretionary decisions related to surface rights, mining rights and chattels, and ministry-administered mine rehabilitation activities. THE PROCESS On August 23, 2011, the Minister of the Environment approved the terms of reference for this class environmental assessment.

This class environmental assessment planning process will be carried out according to these approved terms of reference and the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The resulting class environmental assessment will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for review. CONSULTATION There will be two consultation opportunities during this planning process. A draft class environmental assessment will be made available in early 2012 for public review and comment. The draft class environmental assessment will then be amended to address any issues or new information before a final version is formally submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, as required under the Environmental Assessment Act, in mid-2012. A second consultation opportunity will take place at that time. Members of the public, agencies, and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the planning of this class environmental assessment by attending consultation opportunities or contacting staff directly with information, comments or questions.

Quebec MP Romeo Saganash decided for leadership Runto as run is of the Run federal New Democratic ad with changes Party (no to additional continue the path set proof required) by former leader Jack Layton. Require new proof “I thought to AD myself, if I’m DO NOT RUN (in for quote only) not going to get there without him, at ______________________ least I want to continue Ad cost: his walk, his journey towards a To run: _______________________ better Canada where everyone is included,” said the James ______________________________ Bay Cree federal politician. Signature of Client’s Approval “I’m looking forward to travelling Note: across the country in this Ad proofs mayrace. not print the leadership Theoutcandidates same size as they will appear in announced so far demonstrate the newspaper. the true quality and strength that we have in the party.” Saganash worked in environmental law, international law, human rights and Aboriginal law before being elected to Parliament in the May 2011 federal election in the Abitibi-Baie James-Nunavik-Eeyou riding in northern Quebec. Fluent in Cree, English and French, Saganash worked with the Grand Council of the Crees for 20 years and also served as deputy grand chief of the Grand Council of the Crees. Saganash feels his international and environmental experience would be a benefit for the country. “I’ve negotiated over the last 25 years many agreements and treaties on behalf of the Cree,” Saganash said. “Negotiating treaty is like bringing people together with Aboriginal peoples and that is what I intend to continue to do.” Saganash wants to demonstrate to Canadians that people working together and agreeing with each other is the way to go. “That slogan we had in the last election, working together, is still relevant today,” he said. “And especially for the future, and that is what I want to work for.” Saganash, who is likely the first person from a First Nation to run for the leadership of a major federal political party, has received encouragement from a number of people, including National Chief Shawn

A-in-chut Atleo of the Assembly of First Nations, Deputy Grand Chief Ashley Iserhoff of the Grand Council of the Crees and his mother. “It takes a lot of courage, it takes a lot of stamina as well,” Saganash said. “It’s going to be a long marathon. I’m up for the challenge. I’m in great shape and I’m enthusiastic about this.”

“Romeo Saganash may not be that well known across the country, but hey, I’m an NDP person and I’m used to being an underdog,” – Romeo Saganash

Saganash finds the NDP leadership selection process exciting and is looking forward to meeting people all across the country. “The membership drive that we need to do, not only in Quebec but elsewhere around the country is an important challenge for all candidates,” Saganash said. “I’m relatively wellknown in Quebec but not that well outside the province.” Saganash said he likes challenges, noting the NDP only received 8.2 per cent of the vote in the previous federal election, but he won with 44.79 per cent of the vote in May. “Romeo Saganash may not be that well known across the country, but hey, I’m an NDP person and I’m used to being an underdog,” he said. Saganash said it was difficult for him when Layton passed away in August, noting Layton had encouraged him over the winter to run in the last federal election. “It is very difficult for anyone to lose a friend, especially a good friend like Jack,” Saganash said. “It was very difficult for many of us because he was a true friend to us and a true inspiration for all of us, not just the party members but also all Canadians, as we witnessed during the days of his funeral.”

Nellie Matthews and Patricia Ningewance are among the 10 northern Ontario artists to be featured in an upcoming Ontario Crafts Council Gallery exhibition in Toronto. The exhibit, From the North: Contemporary and Traditional Craft, is curated by Jean Marshall, a visual artist and band member of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug. “(Matthews) has an older piece and a wall hanging set of three,” Marshall said. “She is also submitting a new work that is quite large – a big circular piece on leather with four sections creating a circle. I’m pretty excited about that one.” WAWATAY NEWS Matthews, from KI, has been

doing beadwork for 22 years while Ningewance, from Lac Seul, has been doing fabric art for 26 years. “Her work is exquisite and very powerful,” Marshall said about Ningewance. “She does wall hangings and she incorporates different fabrics and textiles, and then she highlights with embroidery thread and beads creating these wonderful pieces that have stories. She is pretty much a storyteller through her artwork.” Marshall said the artists have an opportunity to discuss their work during the Oct. 20 opening of the exhibition, which runs until Nov. 20. The other artists are Mike Anderson, Shannon Gustafson, Lisa and Erick Hanson, Elsie Kwandibens, Marlene

The workshop will be taught by Rick & Linda Martin and Liz Beardy.

Cree video game in production the bush. The game will unfold over the lifetime of a hunter with the objective to become the goose boss. The player will first begin the game as a child working alongside an Elder hunter, observing, listening and engaging in small tasks like collecting the necessary wood and supplies to make his or her first bow and arrow. Over the lifetime of the player’s character, they will gain skills and competencies, acquire knowledge and teachings and put them into practice. “Nitao will use a form and technology that youth are familiar with to provide an imaginative way for players to engage with their cultural practices, traditions and history. Players will experience first hand the ways that Cree

Nitao is the working title of a new Cree video game that is currently in the works by Paul Rickard and Michelle Smith. The game is set during the spring goose hunt in the James Bay. Rickard is a Cree filmmaker originally from Moose Factory while Smith is a Métis filmmaker and interactive media creator. Both have been involved in media creation for about 15 years and are working with ODD1 game production and the National Film Board of Canada to produce Nitao. Nitao is the root of the Cree phrase that roughly means hunting, fishing and trapping in

narratives from the past can be woven into our contemporary lives,” Smith and Rickard said in a press release. Recently, Rickard and Smith have been travelling to the communities of Moose Factory, Timmins, Wakaganish and Eastmain doing field research with the local youth, hunters and other community members about gaming, hunting and Cree culture. The gathered information will be used to help in the creation of the game. “A primary objective of the game is for Cree people, particularly youth, to acquire skills and learn traditional practices in a virtual world,” Rickard said. Players live with a Cree family in a contemporary spring

hunting camp and will learn and practice essential tasks such as building a shelter and setting rabbit snares, making a blind and predicting the arrival of the geese by the wind and weather. To move forward in the game, players will have to demonstrate these skills and complete quests and tasks like collecting the best firewood and placing decoys to attract the geese. “Nitao players will be invited to participate in a colourful and engaging narrative world which is guided by teachings and ways of knowing that come from survival on the land,” Rickard said. While no official release date is set for Nitao, the public can follow its progress on Facebook by searching Nitao.

Docs North film workshop ‘awesome’ experience Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

The people’s choice award winner at this year’s Bay Street Film Festival picked up more knowledge at the Docs North video production workshop Oct. 2-6 in Thunder Bay. “It was really awesome – I learnt a lot,” said Kayleb Magiskan, a Thunder Bay filmmaker whose family is originally from Aroland. Magiskan’s film, Gas Through the Glass, focused on substance abuse, with interviews with people who were going through the healing process at a treatment centre. “It was a pretty visual documentary,” Magiskan said. “It touched close to home.” The film picked up the people’s choice award during the Bay Street Film Festival Sept. 29 to Oct. 2. Visiting filmmakers who had films shown at the Bay Street Film Festival also filled the role of mentors during the Docs North workshop. They also prepared the learning filmmakers for a five-minute filmmaking project during the workshop. “We met filmmakers from all around the world, Germany and Europe, and that was really awesome,” Magiskan said. The workshop was organized by Kelly Saxberg and Cal Kenny through the Flash Frame Film and Video Network, in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada, Keewaytinook Okimakanak Research Institute and ReSDA. Magiskan, Jason Hunter, Nadine Arpin and Michelle Latimer focused their film on the Cree legend about Pakaakskokan, a bone that gets stuck

Award-winning filmmaker Kayleb Magiskan, Jason Hunter and Nadine Arpin edit the five-minute film they shot during the Docs North film production workshop Oct. 2-6 in Thunder Bay. in trees. “You have to kind of decide if you want to save it or set if free,” Magiskan said. Magiskan and his team shot the film near his home in Westfort Oct. 5 until it got too dark to film any more. “We have about eight hours to edit,” Magiskan said on the last day of the workshop. “To me, editing is the best part. You

can play around with everything, clean it up. We’re using Final Cut Pro on the Mac. I’m a big perfectionist so it takes me weeks of editing.” After working on his own on Gas Through the Glass, Magiskan said it was good to work as part of a team at Docs North. “When I worked with Nadine and Jason, I kind of got the feel of how the film industry really

is,” Magiskan said. “You have to work with people, right, so that was a new experience for me.” Magiskan also enjoyed learning from the mentor assigned to his team, Damien Gilbert, a Confederation College film production graduate who has worked in California and Morocco as well as in Thunder Bay. “They seemed very skilled in

their work,” Gilbert said about Magiskan’s team. “I almost didn’t have to do too much.” Two other teams also produced films during the workshop, which were screened on the evening of the last day. Gilbert said the different mentors provided the learning filmmakers with a range of knowledge from the perspective of producer, writer or editor.

WAWATAY NEWS

“It’s interesting to see everyone’s perspective on film,” Gilbert said. “Bringing in their experiences, you kind of pick up on that and learn from it as well.” The workshop included sessions on approaching the story, the director at work, the producer’s job, camera and lighting, sound work, editing and shooting a micro documentary.

Remembering Inninimowin a tale of re-learning Cree Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

Growing up, Jules Koostachin of Attawapiskat First Nation didn’t speak much Cree at home. “My mom didn’t teach us the language,” said the 39-year-old, who spent part of her childhood in Moosonee. “She never even talked to us in the language.” While taking the documentary media program at Ryerson University in Toronto, she decided to film the process of learning the language and speaking with her mother in Cree. The result is Remembering Inninimowin, a 76-minute documentary that screened in Kenora at the Sweetgrass Film Festival Sept. 30-Oct. 2. Koostachin spent her early childhood living in Moosonee until her family moved to urban areas such as Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. But they would still visit their home community for the summer or holidays. By not being able to speak Cree, Koostachin said it was difficult to interact with her Creespeaking grandparents. “You would hear them laughing and want to be able to be a part of that,” she said. “I felt that I wasn’t part of conversations and stuff because it was an intentional act not to speak to us in Cree, like I was out of the circle.” Koostachin summarizes Remembering Inninomowin as “the experience of being invited back into that circle.” While studying theatre at Concordia University in 1995,

Koostachin decided to take a Cree language course being offered, but she felt the sterile class environment was not conducive to her learning. “There were non-Natives in the class who were learning it faster than we (Natives) were,” she recalls. “I thought, ‘Why aren’t we picking it up?’” About 10 years later, she found herself in school again, this time studying documentary media. While in school, she heard about a Cree language course at the Native Canadian Centre in Toronto. Christopher Hunter, a Weenusk First Nation member, facilitated the course. “His approach to teaching was great,” she said. “He would use songs, drumming and it was taught in what felt like a safe environment. Sometimes he would say one word and only that word throughout the class.” At times, she brought her twin toddlers to class and the lessons rubbed off on them as well. “They would just be playing and being mischievous, but they would repeat the Cree words,” she said. “They just heard it and picked it up.” Koostachin brought a camera to the Cree classes, hoping to turn the footage into a project for her documentary course. She also travelled north to Moosonee and Attawapiskat, where she interviewed Elders and family members about the language. In one key scene, Koostachin was talking with her mother and at one point they turned

the camera off. It was then that her mother started speaking and they turned the camera back on. “We captured this incredible moment where it was the first time she ever looked me in the eye and spoke the language,” she said. Koostachin had also planned to interview her Cree-speaking grandmother who helped to raise her, but she passed away while Koostachin was still in school. “I was devastated,” she said. But along with working parttime and raising her four children, she soldiered on and completed the project in May 2010. With Hunter’s assistance in translation, she submitted her master’s thesis in Cree syllabics. She finished with a 3.96 GPA and was awarded an academic achievement medal. In her documentary, Koostachin noted that the university’s namesake, Egerton Ryerson, played a big part in implementing the residential school system in the 1800s. “I bet he never thought an Aboriginal would get an academic medal at his school,” she said, adding that she’s proud of her academic achievements despite the challenges she faced. Since it’s completion, Koostachin said Remembering Inninimowin “has become it’s own entity.” It’s been screened at numerous Indigenous or linguistic conferences in places as far as New Mexico, Australia and Peru. “I’m glad that it’s taken this journey on it’s own,” she said.

Sisters showcase hoop dancing in North Spirit Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

Clad in regalia and moving to the beat of drums, two young sisters lay out their sets of hoops and begin to loop them around their arms. Once she’s set, Trinity Moar, 11, looks over to her sister, Chastity, 10, to see if she’s ready. She is. Simultaneously they make the shape of an eagle to a crowd of their peers, Elders and community leaders. The audience applauds as the girls lay out their hoops and start to make a new formation. The sisters performed the hoop dancing at the Victor Linklater Memorial School in North Spirit Lake as part of the grand opening celebrations of the community’s new school. The sisters have been hoop dancing – a form of storytelling told through dance – for three years since their mother introduced the idea to them. “My mom heard there was a powwow club in Winnipeg,” said Trinity. “She said you could do so much fun stuff, like go to powwows.” Once the girls attended, they were hooked. “I thought it was fun because it’s fun playing with the hoops and making the animals,” Chastity said. “We make worms, eagles, a flower and the warrior.” The sisters agree the hardest aspect of hoop dancing is the footwork. “Because you have to move around the hoops,” Trinity said. “Yeah,” Chastity said. “There’s no stepping on them because it’s disrespectful.” When they’re not in class, the girls are keen on learning on

Sisters Chastity and Trinity Moar display their talents during the opening ceremonies of North Spirit Lake’s new school Sept. 26. their own. “Sometimes we make up our own moves,” Trinity said. “Or for some we look up on the Internet.” When they got a new teacher, the girls took it upon themselves to show her the ropes. “She didn’t know much about it so we taught her,” Trinity said.

Trinity and Chastity have goals to work toward with their dancing. “We do 13 hoops right now but I want to work on 20,” Chastity said, with Trinity agreeing. Chastity and Trinity have performed at numerous powwows and venues, with the biggest being at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg with their entire dance class.

In addition to hoop dancing, the sisters have taken break dancing, hip-hop and jazz dancing classes. They’ve also taken piano and acting classes. Their mother, Audrey Kakekagumick, said she moved her family from North Spirit Lake to Winnipeg when they were young. “The school (in North Spirit Lake) wasn’t that functional at

the time,” she said. “I wanted them to go to a better school.” She said it was through their new school in Winnipeg that the dancing was introduced. “Their principal is very helpful,” she said. “Sometimes he’ll help transport them to their dancing classes.” The sisters practiced two times a week leading up the grand opening ceremonies in

North Spirit Lake. They talked about how they felt to perform in front of their community members. “Good, because most are my cousins,” Chastity said. “Because it shows them how I feel and how proud I am about it.” “I feel the same,” Trinity agreed. “I feel good about it.”
