Concerns about Mining Act revisions

Stroke of genius

Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Northern Ontario’s First Nation leaders are concerned about Ontario’s proposed changes to the Ontario Mining Act in Bill 173. “Our primary concern is that NAN (Nishnawbe Aski Nation) First Nations must have free, prior and informed consent before any activity can take place in their homelands,� said NAN Grand Chief Stan Beardy. “That’s the standard expressed in Article 32 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and that’s the standard we expect Ontario to meet.� Kitcheuhmaykoosib Inninuwug Chief Donny Morris said his community has looked at Bill 173 and how it will impact them on the ground. “We are one with the land,� Morris said. “We know that proposed mining exploration site by Platinex, and eventually full scale mining will destroy our territory and our indigenous economies that sustained our peoples for thousands of years. Indigenous rights are human rights and they cannot be side-stepped by the province or mining corporations. Our indigenous economies need to be taken into account before mining exploration and development can take place.� Ogichidaakwe Diane Kelly of Grand Council Treaty #3 is looking for a government to government approach that will create opportunities for the citizens of Treaty #3. “Goldcorp, Xtrata, Rio Tinto, they are all in our territory at various stages of development and extracting minerals meant to also benefit the Anishinabe in the treaty relationship,� Kelly said, explaining the companies have been working with Treaty #3 through the Manito Aki Inakonigaawin (Great Earth Law) customs and traditions. “We expect the Mining Act modernization and resource benefit sharing models to help us create valuable contributions to our own economy in a productive and sustainable manner.� see RESPONSIBILITY page 19

The Holy Father expressed the prayer and hope that this event would help the Aboriginal communities of Canada be internally freed from this historic tragedy and enabled to create a strong future. The Pope offered his spiritual support and presence for the Church in Canada as it continues to work in partnership with Aboriginal communities in building this future together.”

Let’s take a stand against…Colorectal Cancer! Do you know the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer? Do you know what you can do to prevent this disease? Cancer Care Ontario wants everyone to learn ways to reduce their risk of developing colorectal cancer and be aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease. Let’s take a stand against…Colorectal Cancer! is an educational/ teaching tool for frontline health care service providers to teach Aboriginal communities about colorectal cancer prevention and screening using the Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) through ColonCancerCheck, Ontario’s colorectal screening program.

When found early enough, there is a 90% chance colorectal cancer can be cured. Some signs & symptoms of colorectal cancer are: • A change in your bowel movements • Blood (either bright red or very dark) in your stool (feces) • Diarrhea, constipation or feeling that your bowel does not empty completely • Stools that are narrower than usual • Stomach discomfort • Unexplained weight loss • Fatigue (feeling tired, weak) • Vomiting If you have any of these symptoms talk to your health care provider during your next visit.

You can lower your risk of developing colorectal cancer by: • Eating a healthy diet; particularly a diet high in fibre and low in animal fats • Not smoking • Limiting or avoiding alcohol use • Exercising regularly • Visiting your health care provider regularly • Screening for colorectal cancer It is recommended that men and women 50 years of age or older, who do not have a family history of colorectal cancer, be screened every two years using FOBT. Talk to your health care provider about colorectal cancer and the screening method that is right for you.

About 200 people took part in this year’s Walk for Life May 6 in Sioux Lookout. Students from Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School and Pelican Falls First Nation High School made up the majority of participants.

Remembering lost loved ones Steve Feeney

Wawatay News

Suicide is a permanent end to life’s temporary problems. That was one of the messages presented at the fourth annual Yellow Ribbon Campaign Walk for Life in Sioux Lookout May 6. More than 200 people gathered outside Legion Hall to join the walk aimed at raising suicide awareness. Students from Pelican Falls First Nations High School and Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School also participated in the walk. Norma Kejick, Walk for Life co-ordinator, said before the walk started, “The purpose of this walk is to celebrate life but also remember those we’ve lost.” Added Elder Josias Fiddler: “It’s for them. It’s for the families that we’re doing this for.” Kejick and Fiddler both know what it’s like to lose a loved one to suicide. Fiddler’s daughter-inlaw committed suicide in 1997 and Kejick’s nephew ended his life in 2005. Kejick has organized the walk every year since she lost her nephew and Fiddler has offered prayers at the event for the past two years.

Everyone who participated in the walk was given a T-shirt and a balloon for the balloon release. The balloons were dedicated to lost loved ones and to offer hope about stopping suicide. Once the walk ended at the Queen Elizabeth District High School soccer field, everyone released their environmentally friendly balloons. In the gymnasium, William Dumas, emcee, said to the audience, “We must create the hope for those that are still left behind. “We must never lose hope, the dream of that day we can give our young people the medicine.” Joyce Timpson, Sioux Lookout deputy mayor, also offered an inspiring message to the emotional audience. “Go with your heart, not with the crowd. It’s OK to ask for help,” said Timpson, reciting the message on the T-shirts everyone was given. Before calling on Arnold Thomas, one of the event’s guest speakers, Kejick shared a few words. “We are the ones that are left behind. Our loved ones are already gone. We have to be

Walk participants release their balloons dedicated to lost loved ones and hope on ending suicide. the ones who have to do something,” Kejick said. Kejick said she will be continuing to organize this walk until either she is no longer physically able to participate. “I do this because of my nephew Eric. I know the suicide has to stop.” After her message, Kejick called Thomas to the stage.

Thomas began sharing his story with everyone. Thomas was born in the United States and grew up in Nevada. He was recognized as one of Nevada’s top basketball and football players and planned on going to university to play collegiate sports. Thomas was well on his way

on becoming an accomplished athlete as schools around Nevada began recruiting him. All those hopes came to a crash one day during Thomas’ high school sophomore year. One spring day Thomas learned that his father committed suicide. His family began struggling with the loss but it greatly affected Thomas.

Thomas’ life became out of control. He tried to use drugs and alcohol to forget his life. At the age of 18, Thomas gave up on life. He got a hold of a hunting rifle, put it under his chin and pulled the trigger. The gunshot wounds severed his face, which took many surgeries to recover. The damage left him completely blind. It took many years for Thomas to be able to speak again. However, through it all, Thomas is still alive. Thomas gained control of his life through the support of family and friends. He’s been a motivational speaker who travels all across North America and Europe. Thomas also earned a Master’s Degree in social work and a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology at the University of Utah May 7, 1999. Throughout all the battles Thomas struggled and almost lost. But he realized life is worth living and on stage, he encouraged people to choose life and realize they are special and unique. “You can make this day however you want, whether you choose to make it good or bad.”

Healthcare for non-status community members raises concerns Steve Feeney

Wawatay News

When it comes to healthcare on First Nations, not everyone is treated the same. Programs and services received in First Nations communities by local members are covered federally while other residents, including teachers, are covered under a provincial or a territorial system, as Summer Beaver Grade 9 teacher Melanie Huddart has found out. “Upon arrival and just prior to the commencement of our contracts, I was told by our clinic’s (Summer Beaver) head nurse that while I can be treated for minor illnesses, I cannot see a doctor or dentist when they are here for band members,” said Huddart. Huddart was also told she couldn’t renew or receive any prescriptions through the nursing station.

Huddart said any prescriptions that need ongoing care have to be processed down south and then transferred to a pharmacy in Sioux Lookout. “If I needed a renewal, I had to leave the community and see my doctor and come back and do it that way,” Huddart said. Huddart said this causes many problems. One of them is that she wouldn’t be able to get a doctor down south because she would be a non-resident of that city. “Finding a doctor in any city is a little more than difficult,” Huddart said. Huddart was told in emergencies, non-Status people can be medivaced as long as the employer is willing to pay the cost. “The problem with that is depending on if there’s enough money in the school budget, they can either say yes or no to medivac,” Huddart said.

Greg Rickford, Member of Parliament for Kenora, said this issue arises from time to time but the mandate of the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch is to provide most of their services to members of the communities. “The (mandate of) First Nations and Inuit Health Branch is to provide health services to people living in the communities where the nursing station is situated,” Rickford said. “That does not preclude them from providing certain kinds of services, particularly emergency services, to people who are passing through, visiting or living.” Rickford was a nurse for many First Nations communities in the past. He inquired with the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch on behalf of Huddart to express her concerns. “There has been more than

one letter from a couple of different communities,” Rickford said.

“I should be able to access all the same services that the community members can access.” – Melanie Huddart

According to Health Canada, eligibility for many of their programs requires clients to be status First Nation individuals recognized by a land claim organization. “Living on a First Nation reserve does not entitle a person to the full range of programs and services that Health Canada provides or funds the provision of to status First Nations

people,” said Philip Laroche, Health Canada media relations officer. “However, in limited circumstances, Health Canada extends services to non-status individuals.” Laroche said provinces and territories are responsible for universal hospital and physician services to all residents, including Aboriginal people. “Health Canada remains committed to working with its provincial and territorial counterparts to ensure all individuals have access to quality health services,” Laroche said. Laroche said Health Canada has received comments about eligibility for the programs and services they provide to status First Nations people. “Health Canada continues to work with all relevant partners, including Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, to address such comments as they arise,” said Laroche.

Huddart said non-status people who are looking to work in First Nations communities should do research on what services the community is willing to extend. “I think the provincial legislation and the federal legislation have to have language and speak for one another so that the provincial system and the federal system, the system that services the status people of the communities, can also service non-status individuals in the community.” Huddart is married to a Summer Beaver band member and doesn’t plan on leaving the community anytime soon. “I should be able to access all the same services that the community members can access…It can be done, it’s just a matter of the two governments coming together and establishing something so that we can access healthcare when in the north.”

Commentary

This is the year to be injury-free James Thom Wawatay News

M

y softball season is just around the corner. For me, this is the unofficial start of summer. For the next three and a half months, I’ll be playing ball at least a few times a week. I hope I’m practicing, or at least throwing or hitting some balls around, a few other nights every week. I figure, if I can keep practicing, I’ll improve my muscle strength. That could lead to a stronger throwing arm so I can help my new team get more people out. An added by-product of the practice will be an improved batting stance and style. I would like to be a power-hitter this year. Currently, I hardly qualify having hit one home run in a game since moving to Thunder Bay in 2004. But as far as home runs, it was amazing. I turned on an inside pitch and launched it over the right-field fence into the bush for a grand slam. I’ll always remember that moment. Even as it was happening, it felt like slow motion. I was extending my arms, shifting my weight to my back foot, pushing off explosively to begin my swing. I can remember that sound – a crack similar to a knockout punch – as the composite bat met the ball in an explosion of energy. There are few sweeter sounds in life than a metal and rubber coming together to create that crack. With all the practicing I’ve done so far this spring, I’ve launched a couple balls over the right field fence. At a mere 200 feet, I feel like more should be going over but beggars can’t be choosers. Our regular diamonds, where we play our league games, the fields are larger. The dimensions tend to be 240 feet down left and right field and around 270-275 feet to straight-away centre field. I’ve got a goal of hitting five, fence-clearing homeruns this season. Normally, I’m more of a speed machine, legging out inside-the-park homeruns. While I’d like to get a few of those too, I want to be able to take my time going around the

bases too, with a bit of a swagger. I would like to become more of a complete player: mixing baserunning speed with defence, power and accurately placed hitting. In professional baseball, they call it being a five-tool player. I’d settle for being a three or four. A lot of it will come down to whether or not I can stay healthy all season. That’s been a problem for me in the past. Last year, in my first three games, I hit two inside-the-park homeruns. In the following 20 games, I only hit one more. The real difference between the beginning of the season and the end was simply my health. Early on last season, I suffered a second-degree sprain of my left ankle. I hurt it running the bases. It rolled over on the inside and sent me into months of pain. Every step I took sent pain up my leg as a constant reminder of the injury. I also got a nasty infection in my leg after sliding into second base during a game early on in the season.

Raw flesh was exposed on about half the outside of my left calf. It was spreading so quickly my girlfriend was afraid it might get out of hand. Raw flesh was exposed on about half the outside of my left calf. The day after the injury, she took a marker and drew a line one inch past the pink signs of infections. She told me if the pink grew past the line, I had to go see a doctor. Ultimately, I went to see a doctor about it the following day because I swore I could feel more heart beating in my leg. There were electro-pulses I was feeling from my toes to the top of my hip. It started to scare me so I went to the clinic to get checked out. The doctor told me we’d done the right thing with the marker because he was able to track how quickly the infection was spreading. Despite these injuries, and there were others unrelated to softball (think cat bite infection and daily trips the hospital) I’m proud to say I never missed a game last season due to injury.

A dream of language Richard Wagamese One Native Life

I

started to run again. It’s been 20 years or more since I ran anything further than a trip around the bases in a slow pitch rec league. Back then it was still possible for me to entertain the idea of a marathon or competing in distance races. Back then it was elevating and somehow freeing. Now, today, after chugging around a couple short miles, alternating between walking and running, it feels restrictive, flagging and darn hard work. The scenery’s nice and the air on the gravel road by the lake is clear and invigorating. But I’m in my 50S now and starting over is tough. Still, there’s something big in it. There’s the promise of something buried in the sweat and burning lungs and concrete legs. Maybe it’s the possibility of reclaiming something of the youth I was, maybe it’s the idea of sticking around the planet a little longer or even just the knowledge that I’m out there. It takes me back to another challenge when I was 18. I’d dropped out of school with a Grade Nine education. The work I was able to find was less than fulfilling and there was a part of me that craved more. I understood the dangers inherent in a lack of formal schooling and I was afraid

to be left behind, to appear stupid or unenlightened. Libraries gave me the opportunity to continue learning and I always took it. But one night, sitting at a bar, I overheard the knot of people next to me discussing a book called Finnegans Wake. They talked earnestly and I understood that the book they referred to was important. They made references to other books, debated story structure and elements of the writing and I was impressed by the energy of their talk as well as the idea that a book could drive people to such impassioned heights. Well, I asked the librarian for it the next day. She gave me a quizzical look but retrieved it from the stacks nonetheless. It was huge. That was my first impression and there was nothing on the cover to give any indication of what kind of story to expect. But carrying it across the library to a carrel near the window I felt, well, studious almost. When I opened it, that feeling changed. The language of James Joyce was dense, quirky and alluded to things more than simply stating them. The first sentence was mind boggling and the first paragraph sent my mind reeling. I put the book down and stared out the window. Then I picked it up and tried again. The language was daunting, unyielding and seemed to ask something of me that I did not possess. I walked out of the library discouraged. But the book

would not leave me be. I thought about it all that night and when I went back the next day I was determined to read it through. I got through the first page. When I asked the librarian what it was about the answer she gave me was a convoluted as the book itself. I left disheartened. But there was something in the challenge that book represented that called to me. I didn’t know what it was or why it should be so important but I felt the pull of it anyway. So I checked it out and took it home. Each time I opened it I got a little further. Still, it was a writhing mess of aphorism, allusion, mythology, dream and seemed conjured by a fierce, raging intellect I was at odds to harness. It haunted me. It invaded my waking thought. It irritated me that I couldn’t grasp the narrative thread of it and angered me to think that a story could elude me. Each time I picked it up I had to force myself to stick with it. Each time I picked it up I was confronted again with the thick hodge-podge of idea and image and each time I fought my way through. It took me over five months to read it. The day I finished it was amazing. I’d allowed that book to take me over and when I closed it I felt awed by the passage of time. I’d been displaced and when I went walking to mull it over I was shocked to see that it was autumn. It had been late spring when I started. I understood then why the people I’d overheard were so smitten by Finnegans Wake.

It wasn’t that it was a rousing story. It wasn’t that it was a captivating and elevating read. It was because James Joyce had taken language by the neck and shaken it vigorously. He’d taken form and structure like a Lego set and created something odd and fantastic and magical. He showed me in the course of six hundred odd pages what was possible with language and story. I read other books after that. I read Homer and Aristotle, Dante, Thomas Aquinas, Henrik Ibsen and Shakespeare, all the writers that influenced James Joyce in the writing of Finnegans Wake. Then I read Beckett, Borges, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Wolfe, Vladimir Nabokov, e.e. cummings, William Carlos Williams and Jack Kerouac. Reading Finnegans Wake proved to me that I had the intellectual mettle to tackle anything and that I could emerge from it a more aware human being. It took everything I had to finish it. But like the first run around the gravel road I sensed that there was something big in it for me. I didn’t know what it was then but I know today. Finnegans Wake allowed me to construct a dream of language. It was a dream that I might create worlds upon a page, a dream that I might throttle language too and shake it into new and fascinating forms. It took everything I had to finish it, but like running, at the end, I was bigger, hardier, full of grit and eager for the next challenge.

Tax harmonization burdens First Nations, breaches tax exemption A message from the Grand Chief: When the Government of Ontario announced its proposal to harmonize the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) with the provincial sales tax (PST) in its 2009 budget it was presented as a “comprehensive tax reform package” that would bring permanent tax relief for the people of Ontario over the next several years. But the reality, in fact, is that the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) may breach the First Nation right to tax exemption and stands to place an unprecedented and unfair burden of debt on First Nation people. The crux of the problem for First Nations is collecting the HST at the point-of-sale and relying on a bureaucratic system of rebates to return taxes that shouldn’t have been charged in the first place. Assuming that there are approximately 180,000 status Indians in Ontario, and assuming that the average annual taxable purchase for each of them is somewhere in the range of $10,000, the proposed 8 per cent HST translates into an approximate $150 million windfall for the government each year. While only a rough calculation, this gives some perspective as to the size of the taxation burden the HST presents to the very people who can least afford it. Such a massive and unprecedented transfer of resources from the most disadvantaged segment of Ontario society would represent a shocking inequity, especially in NAN territory, where many remote communities already experience Third World conditions. This tax grab would directly contradict general provincial policy on First Nations (Casino Rama and the new gaming revenue sharing agreement, the New Relationship Fund, and the New Approach to Aboriginal Affairs) and the emerging provincial policy on child poverty reduction (Bill 152). For First Nations, the most significant potential harm of the HST is based on the difference between existing PST and GST official policy bulletins. Provincial policy is generally regarded by First Nations as a fairly reasonable (though not

Beardy is concerned with changes to Ontario’s taxes, including possible impacts on First Nations. perfect) application of the tax exemption right in relation to sales tax. Except in the case of certain motor vehicles, First Nation citizens are exempt from PST on the presentation of an Indian status card, regardless of location, on or off reserve. In contrast, federal GST policy requires an on-reserve sale or on-reserve delivery for First Nation citizens. If federal GST/HST policy is made to apply in the case of the Ontario HST, the reasonable and respected made-in-Ontario PST solution will be wiped out overnight. The restrictive GST/HST policy is deeply and universally resented by First Nations. We interpret Ontario’s commitment to mean that existing provincial PST policy will be perpetuated, albeit with consequential technical changes. For the eight per cent PST embedded in the new HST, there must be a point-of-sale exemption based on the presentation of a status card, regardless of on or off reserve location. In contrast, a form of back door rebate system, a concept that has been suggested in some quarters, is a non-starter for First Nations, given the context of millions of small transactions and inadequate personal record keeping. For the people of Nishnawbe Aski, the right to tax exemption is based on the spirit, intent and

letter of Treaties 5 and 9 which are protected by Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Act, 1982. This right is also partially reflected in Section 87 of the Indian Act. There is no doubt that an unmodified HST would be seen as a new tax in violation of this NAN Treaty right. Because of the rights violation and the severe financial impact on all status Indians in Ontario, there is no doubt that the HST would cause a tremendous amount of dissatisfaction and frustration at the community level. What’s more alarming is that this could lead to widespread civil unrest and litigation – the same dangerous scenario the Ipperwash Inquiry Report warned against. Several budget documents discuss the potential impact of the HST on various groups and, in some cases, propose balancing measures to mitigate this impact. It is disturbing that the potential impact on First Nations has largely been ignored, but it is hardly surprising. There was no consultation with First Nations prior to the inclusion of the HST in the budget, even though the potential impact of the HST on First Nations is obvious. Our understanding is that the government intends to administer the HST in conformity with the tax-exemption rights of First Nations, but we are still waiting

for confirmation of how this will be accomplished. NAN is prepared to work with the Government of Ontario as well as other First Nation organizations and government agencies to develop an HST solution that is acceptable to all. We are optimistic that a mutually acceptable arrangement can be reached, but time is of the essence. Given the target application date for the HST is July 2010, it is imperative that a solution is put in place by December 2009. This is an achievable timeline if we stick to the existing RST exemption model and do not try to reinvent the wheel. As it stands, the HST is completely unacceptable and poses devastating consequences to NAN First Nations. I believe that an agreeable solution can be found if the Government of Ontario is willing to work with First Nations. Failure to do so will undoubtedly lead to civil strife and litigation, and that would be a regrettable failure of political leadership for all Ontarians. Stan Beardy is Grand Chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation, a political territorial organization representing 49 First Nation communities in James Bay Treaty 9 and Ontario portions of Treaty 5 – an area covering two thirds of the province of Ontario.

SMARTS goals described at workshop success indicators, a list of resources required and people who can help, and deadlines. “Who can help you,” Ledger said. “When are you going to do it.”

Completed by: Javier Espinoza

It’s time to smarten-up. SMARTS goals were recently described at a goal planning workshop in Thunder Bay. “You need to set SMARTS goals if you want to achieve something in life,” said Sally Ledger, the goal planning workshop facilitator and former executive director of the Ontario Native Women’s Association. “For it to be a SMARTS goal, it needs to be something specific. It can’t be vague. If it’s complex, break it down.” Ledger described SMARTS goals as specific, measurable,

attainable, results oriented, time limited and shared. “It’s got to be measurable,” Ledger said. “If you can’t measure it, how can you know you achieved it. It also has to be attainable. There is nothing more depressing than never achieving your goal.” Ledger also spoke about goal action plans during the workshop, which was held May 5 at the Waverly Resource Library in Thunder Bay. “The majority of us don’t have a goal action plan,” Ledger said. “The first step is to define it. The plan needs to be specific, with action steps for each of the objectives.” The action plan also needs

“The majority of us don’t have a goal action plan.” – Sally Ledger

Ledger also provided a number of goal planning tips: visualize your goals, take time to plan, put your goals in writing, use SMARTS goals, identify

your strengths and weaknesses, deepen your commitments by telling others, stay focused, set short-term, med-tern and long-term review dates, enjoy the process and reward your accomplishments, and trust and believe in yourself. “Every second of every day you are setting goals,” Ledger said. “Sometimes you don’t realize you are making goals.” Ledger stressed positive visualization as a strategy to help achieve goals. “You have to watch what you are inputting up here,” Ledger said, indicating her brain. “Because it will come out here. It will go out to your kids, your siblings, your family, everyone.”

NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING AND INVITATION TO OPEN HOUSE Two Feathers Forest Products LP Value-Added Project Two Feathers Forest Products LP (TFFP), a partnership involving Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation, Eagle Lake First Nation and Pikangikum First Nation, and a partner group from Finland (Wood Tech Group Inc.), is proposing to build a value-added forest products facility on sites in the Municipality of Red Lake, and Eagle Lake First Nation. The Red Lake site would house log sorting, milling, and chipping facilities, and a 9.9MW biomass cogeneration facility to generate electricity for sale into the Ontario power grid. Cut lumber would be shipped by truck to the Eagle Lake facility, which would house a pellet plant, planer lines, and assembly factories for construction of pre-fabricated timber buildings for sale in Asia and Europe.

Red Lake

Federal funding for the project has triggered an environmental assessment of both sites under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The project will follow all required provincial and municipal regulations. TFFP has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) to prepare the environmental assessment to meet the needs of a screening level study under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. PUBLIC CONSULTATION:

Heart disease and diabetes May 4, 2009

You wake up in the morning and you realize you might have to face another day feeling comCOL x 208 pletely5exhausted. Even AGATES though you just slept for nine hours you canCompleted feel your body screaming to by: Javier Espinoza stay in that safe, warm comfortable bed. You tell yourself, “No, no, no, I’ve got to go to work, someone has to bring in the money to pay for bills,” but your body screams out otherwise. “Stay in bed. Call in sick, make something up, anything; just don’t get out of bed!” Your head wins regardless and instinctively you sit up to get ready for to work. Once you sit up and the slight pounding feeling in your head you had the night before comes back, your heart flutters in your chest, and you catch your breath while the oncoming of another headache greets you in the morning. You hesitate and know of the upcoming struggle it will take to get out of bed just to go to the bathroom. Your arms and legs feel like lead. You look at yourself in the mirror, saying good morning to yourself but no audible sound passes through your lips. You notice you seem to be feeling like this a lot more lately. Your bad days of feeling completely exhausted outweighs the good days of when you had enough energy to walk to your neighbors house for a visit. Hello, my name is Madeline Chokomolin, friends and family know me as Lorraine. The reason for my writing today is to share my story relating to heart disease and diabetes. Yeah I know, you’re probably thinking we all hear about the topic of heart disease and diabetes already; however, from a personal perspective, I wanted to share my story with those who may very well be potentially “on the edge” of developing these ailments. Please consider my story as a warning. After putting on more weight in the last five years, I began feeling extremely tired most of the time and experienced dizzy spells where I thought I would end up fainting. I also experienced many headaches, migraines, and felt like my mind was in a constant fog. It got pretty awful to the point where I had worried about driving one and a half hours to and from work everyday. I didn’t realize then that my body was actually fighting for its own life. My mind however, kept on with the distorted perception of taking care of and pleasing others first. I was acting like a crazy person, a superwoman. I was really in denial about the additional weight I put on and the negative effects it was having on my health and general well-being. Five years before, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but at the time, my blood pressure didn’t cause enough concern for medication. I was warned by my doctor to make the lifestyle changes back then, and I ignored it. After being warned I stopped seeing my doctor altogether and for years I buried myself in work. I also, half-heartedly tried to take care of my children, my ill-elderly mother, work on part-time courses for university, and chose not deal with the grief I had about a break up of my last intimate relationship and the loss of a friend of family members. Eventually I didn’t even realize I was becoming a zombie. see ZOMBIE next page

Zombie cure from previous page It was on Nov. 19, 2008, after being given a reality check about diabetes, on top of being diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a heart condition, I decided to commit myself to making changes, only I didn’t know where to start from exactly. A few days later I first decided to remove the things, and people, that caused me unnecessary stress. This meant quitting a job where I had a miserable supervisor and to quit smoking for good. The second step was to commit myself to learning more about nutrition and exercise. The third step was to find balance and peace in life while filling it with the things I love to do and with the people I love. As I learned more about nutrition, I worked on finding out just where I developed my bad eating habits from. I had to go back to remembering what life was like when I wasn’t taking care of other people. I don’t recall being taught to watch what I ate; in fact, fresh vegetables, fruits and bag milk were rare commodities in the household I grew up in. There were a lot of pastas, breads or bannocks to eat, along with fried salty flapjacks or greasy chicken or hamburger and fried bologna meats to choose from. It wasn’t until I was 17 years old when I was first introduced to a mango fruit. I thought this fruit was the strangest looking thing I had ever seen and when I tried to eat the peeling, the person who introduced me to this fruit had to laugh because of the face I made while chewing. Of exercise? I remembered my family hardly participated in physical activities together. Exercising, playing sports, riding bikes or doing something as simple as taking short walks together was not part of our regular routine. My family did enjoy watching television together though. It’s funny to remember that tacky daytime soap operas were the big thing in our household. I was lucky to have friends who shared my enthusiasm of exploring the great outdoors. Had it not been for my adventurous spirit to explore, I don’t think I would have gotten any exercise at all. Now I have to work on reclaiming my adventurous spirit and showing my family that there’s more to life than watching those absolutely gorgeous “sane� people on TV. Even though I do have my own non-Aboriginal role models (believe it or not, Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of them) I am wondering if there are any role models out there, in Ontario, who are already promoting healthy living to Aboriginal peoples. If there are no such people who are taking on this role, why not? Perhaps this letter will inspire such a campaign to take place in order find the role models needed for our men, women, and youth. It would be an interesting project, especially since diabetes is one of the major diseases that plagues our people today. I am grateful to the Creator for helping me give myself a second chance. Starting my life over is not an easy path to take because it is strange and new. The experience of neglecting my physical well-being definitely teaches me the importance of being able to spend time with my younger children and watch them grow. I also get to welcome a new grandchild into this world very soon. Chi-Meegwetch. Madeline Chokomolin

Mishkeegogamang Ojibway First Nation has signed an exploration memorandum of understanding with PC Gold Inc. regarding the company’s Pickle Crow property. “We are very pleased with this agreement,” said Mishkeegogamang Chief Connie Gray-McKay. “We appreciate the respectful approach the company has taken to ensuring that our First Nation will benefit from this project. The Pickle Crow gold mine operated for years in the heart of our traditional lands without providing any meaningful benefits to our community. We will not allow that to happen again. PC Gold’s commitment in this MOU to sharing benefits with Mishkeegogamang is consistent with the approach we expect from all resource companies working in our traditional lands.” PC Gold, a focused gold junior, owns 100 per cent of the Pickle Crow property, which produced a total of 1.45 million Troy ounces of high-grade gold

over 31 years of operation from 1935 to 1966. “I believe it’s essential that local communities experience real and lasting benefits from the mineral exploration and development activities in their neighborhoods,” said Kevin M. Keough, president and CEO of PC Gold. “We intend to fulfill our obligations to Mishkeegogamang in a way that is good for the community, and good for our company.” PC Gold has retained the services of Fladgate Exploration Consulting of Thunder Bay, Ontario, to manage all aspects of the exploration program. The company is planning to begin a Phase II exploration drilling program, including multiple deep tests of the Pickle Crow mineralized system to depths of up to 2,500 metres beneath the old mine. “These negotiations were successful because we listened to each other and addressed the concerns and objectives we each brought to the table,” said Coun. David Masakeyash. –RG

Anti-racism website gets facelift Steve Feeney

Wawatay News

After months of remodeling, Sioux Lookout Anti-Racism Committee (SLARC) launched its new website at a ceremony held at the Sioux Lookout Public Library April 30. SLARC hired K-Net web designers Cal Kenny and Kanina Terry to create the new website. “I’m really excited to see this welcoming ceremony,” said Garnet Angeconeb, SLARC founding member. “Now with a push of a button we can communicate with the world.” Terry explained users can create a website account that will allow them to create blogs and take part in online discussions. The opportunity for a new website came up after a grant from the Ministry of Attorney General was received for a previous SLARC project. “We had some funding to do work on our website and we just took advantage of the situation to change it over to a new content management system so that we can do all the changes ourselves,” said Katy Quinn,

Recreationalactivitiesnearhydrostationsanddamsaredangerous Stay clear of hydroelectric stations, dams, shorelines and surrounding waterways. Hydro stations operate year-round and affect water flows and ice conditions. Water that looks safe can become treacherous in minutes. Ice that forms near, or even several kilometers away can be dangerous. Obey all warnings, signs, booms and buoys. If you see water levels changing, move a safe distance away immediately.

“People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.” That is the favourite inspirational saying of Summer Spence, one of 30 youth presented with awards at the April 30 Northwestern Ontario Aboriginal Youth Achievement & Recognition Awards. The 13-year-old Fort William First Nation member earned an Athletic Award for her achievements in sports, which include a

gold medal in the 4 x 100 relay at the 2008 North American Indigenous Games and participation in bantam lacrosse and two bantam hockey teams. “I just like bantam hockey,” Spence said. “I’ve been playing since I was five years old. My family plays hockey; it’s just a way to get together.” Spence wants to play professional hockey in the future. “They call me the Tasmanian devil, because I’m rough and fast,” Spence said. About 350 people attended the awards dinner at the Victo-

ria Inn with Shy-Anne Hovorka as master of ceremonies and Fort William Chief Peter Collins and Thunder Bay Mayor Lynn Peterson as opening speakers. Poetry Awards were presented to Melissa Davidson for her poem The Race in the elementary school category, Melissa Kakepetum for her poem As I Sit Here and Wonder in the secondary school category and Leah Siczkar for her poem Conquer the Cold in the open category. see next page

Quitting is hard. Not quitting is harder. Smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke increase your risk of heart disease. Smoking also nearly doubles your risk of an ischemic stroke. Quitting smoking is one of the best things that you can do for your health. Making a change to being smoke-free can be hard. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and support from your family, friends and healthcare provider. To learn more about quitting, contact the Canadian Cancer Society’s Smokers’ Helpline at:

Rick Garrick/Wawatay News

Deer Lake’s Shane Turtle won a community leadership and volunteerism award at the 2009 Northwestern Ontario Aboriginal Youth Achievement & Recognition Awards.

We’ve Got the Keys to Your Next Deal!

Louise Thomas has been working with youth since she opened the Ahnisnabae Art Gallery in 2005. “I represent about 12 youth in the gallery,” said the recognition award recipient for career guidance at the 2009 Northwestern Ontario Aboriginal Youth Achievement & Recognition Awards. “My youngest (artist) is R.J. Ogemah. I can see lots of potential. I encourage him to do his art.” Thomas has a number of Ogemah’s works in her gallery, including Waterfalls, an original oil on canvas-board, and Quiet Place, an original oil on canvas. “I had R.J. as a co-op student for one semester,” Thomas said, noting that he is from the same

community as her late husband Roy Thomas, Long Lake #58. “He really loves the gallery, so I have him working part-time here on Saturdays. His computer skills are amazing. I get him to do some work on my website.” Thomas said the youth are often inspired by all the different Aboriginal artwork on display in her gallery; she encourages them to learn about their culture, to find their roots, and to get to know where they are from. “That way they will get to know where they are going,” Thomas said. Thomas encourages the youth to learn more about the business side of art. “I took some of Roy’s images and put them on T-shirts,” she said. “It’s another way to make

income. “You can make prints, you can make T-shirts. It’s something Roy taught me, duplicating, diversifying.” Thomas also stresses being on time for work and learning how to deal with customers with the youth. “When Roy was here, he thought it was important to inspire our youth,” Thomas said about her late husband, who passed away in 2004. “Our young people need more positive role models. That is why it is important for me to nurture youth.” Thomas said she opened the gallery in her late husband’s name to provide an exhibition space for Anishinabe artists. “This gallery is for our people,” Thomas said. “We offer them exposure to the world.”

Career in sciences likely

Nurses Week is the time when all people should be acknowledging nurses wherever they may be…whatever they may be doing.

Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Pamela Angees is aiming for a career as either a forensic pathologist or a crime scene investigator. “I started getting interested in Grade 9,” said the Wunnumin Lake band member who grew up in Sioux Lookout and moved to Thunder Bay when she was 12. “I started getting high marks. I took chemistry and biology that year and got really good marks.” The St. Ignatius High School Grade 11 student said she has been speaking up more in class since then. “I started researching careers in the past year,” Angees said, explaining she found out about all the possible careers that fit her main interests in science and biology. “I’m taking all academic courses next year, all the sciences, physics, all the maths and advanced functions.” Angees, who has completed two years of high school in one year, is currently taking language courses at school as well as introductions to anthropology, psychology and sociology. “I set goals of the kind of marks I wanted and how to go about achieving those marks,” Angees said. “My mom also supports me. She praises me whenever I get a high mark on a test.” Angees said her teachers and guidance counsellor, Vern Kimball, have also been supports. “He got me into volunteering, to get my hours done,” Angees said, adding that Kimball also helped her apply to the Shad Valley four-week summer enrichment program which provides Grade 10, 11 and 12 students with a focus on the sciences, technology and entrepreneurship at different university campuses across the country. “It’s experimenting with sciences, maths, leadership and lectures from scientists.” Angees said she wants to experience many career options before she makes her final choice; she is currently aiming to study Applied Bio-Molecular Science at Lakehead University once she graduates from high school. “One day I could change my career path,” Angees said. “So I want to expose myself to more options.”

take greater responsibility and be recognized as such that we’ll be working with governments of the land to address the challenges,â€? said Beardy. The report also found that vital registration, health care utilization and surveillance data are nearly non-existent for First Nations without status, MĂŠtis and urban Aboriginal children. “I’m very concerned. One of the things I’ve been pushing to begin to address on short-term is I believe that the young people need to be connected to the land,â€? Beardy said. “The land has provided for First Nations people for thousand of years to meet all their physical, spiritual, emotional needs.â€? Beardy said First Nations communities need to provide physical activity for the children and need to be introduced to traditional foods, “that are available and have been very healthy for our well-being for thousand years. Reconnecting to our culture

is one of the key challenges for First Nation people to address the findings of the report.� Toulouse said there has to be true collaboration with an understanding of the indigenous self-determination in the research. “The data collection, the government and the management, we need to look at best practices,� said Toulouse. The four countries rejected the United Nations declaration on rights to indigenous people to their own culture, institutions and spiritual traditions in September 2007. Since the report was released, Australia signed on to the declaration adopted by the UN General Assembly earlier in April. “We certainly hope to see that Canada does likewise so that we can truly move from the colonized state that we’ve seen and truly want a self-determination, self-government state,� Toulouse said.

Something for everyone at trade show James Thom

Wawatay News

Nearly every imaginable product and service a person could want was available and on display during Trade Show and Business Expo May 8-10 in Thunder Bay. Darryl Sainnawap, a councillor from Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, was one of the guests invited to participate in the Networking North session which kicked off the trade show May 8.

“Living in an isolated community, it’s important to come together and form partnerships during events like this,” he said. “If we can find deals for products and services, it will help our community’s budgets.” It didn’t take long for Sainnawap to find something to his personal liking. Just inside the host Sports Dome’s front lobby was a booth by Afortek Inc. which offers electronic bikes, like a moped. “Something like this, it would be perfect for up north,” he said.

“I’d be able to save myself $2 per litre that would go into a car or truck. “This is something I’m seriously considering buying.” RBC Royal Bank business development officer in First Nations Banking Aaron Kakepetum and Aboriginal Banking senior account manager Herb ZoBell attended Networking North to promote First Nations banking. The pair spoke to First Nations representatives about services RBC can provide

include Interac and cash management services, payroll,

direct-deposit, financing and loans. “We have a lot of communities that take out a loan to bring in fuel on the winter road and pay it back all year,” ZoBell said. “Then, they start the process all over again.” Fort Severn First Nation finance clerk Maryanne Thomas and executive assistant Abigail Matthews were also among the invited participants. They spent a fair amount of time visit the Oshki education booth.

“We’re really interested in the Oshki services,” Thomas said. “Education is so important to our people.” But leaving home is also difficult Matthews said, especially when family is involved. “We need to find ways to educate our people without having to leave,” Thomas said. Networking North – organized by Wasaya Airways – brought together business and community members from throughout the region.

Responsibility to the land from page 1 Kelly is also looking for a government to government approach to regulating mining activity in a co-ordinated manner. “Manito Aki Inakonigaawin is a successful model of dialogue and meeting together to share information, create beneficial agreements and to finalize authorizations of activities and developments that are sustainable in a real way,” said Chief Warren White of Naotkamegwanning First Nation. The Matawa First Nations expressed disappointment that their input into the revision of the Mining Act was not sufficiently considered by the Ontario government. “If the government is serious about improving Ontario’s Mining Act to be more respectful of Aboriginal people, they must take our input seriously and specifically regarding the fundamental issues of duty to consult and advance consent,” said Chief Sol Atlookan, spokesperson for Matawa. “During the consultation process, the Matawa First Nations people made it overwhelmingly clear to Ontario that an act of exploration, staking or mining activity on First Nation traditional lands without consent is intrusive of First Nations treaty rights and that consent from the community must be sought prior to the start of any activity.” Morris said his community remains committed to their position that there will be no exploration or mining in their territory without their informed consent. “Our laws, which require respect for the land, are entitled to at least as much respect as Ontario’s Mining Act,” Morris said. “We want negotiations, not conflict, but we will enforce

our laws and protect our land. We will continue to struggle to have Aboriginal and treaty rights protected.” The Ontario government introduced its proposed changes, which include incorporating Aboriginal consultation in mining legislation and regulations, requiring awareness training to obtain a prospector’s licence, and introduction of a dispute-resolution process for Aboriginal-related issues in mining to Ontario’s Mining Act, April 30. “This proposed legislation takes bold steps toward a modern, innovative Mining Act that would balance all of our respective interests, benefit Ontario communities and support a vibrant Ontario minerals industry,” said Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle. Other changes include: provisions for withdrawing significant Aboriginal cultural sites from claim staking; notification of Aboriginal communities immediately after a claim is staked; requirements for prospectors and companies to notify Aboriginal communities of plans for significant exploration activities within their traditional lands; provisions to enable restrictions on prescribed prospecting and exploration activities; and the introduction of a graduated approach to Aboriginal consultation, with the scope and degree tied to the impact of proposed exploration activities. This approach would outline consultation requirements, require environmental rehabilitation, and require exploration work plans or permits. While the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines stated they will invite further input from First Nation communities and Aboriginal orga-

nizations as the regulations are developed and the changes implemented, NAN is currently looking for a process that allows more meaningful participation by First Nations during the upcoming regulation and policy stages of the proposed Mining Act amendment bill. “The Government of Ontario did not allow enough time to conduct meaningful consultation with NAN First Nations in the development of this legislation,” Beardy said. “We will continue to insist upon a mechanism through which NAN First Nations will be consulted and will have meaningful input into the decisionmaking process.” NAN is looking for a number of other key issues to be addressed by the amended legislation, including a recognition of the spirit and intent of the treaties, commitment to the highest environmental standards, an independent dispute resolution process, funding and capacity to engage and respond to the assessment process, an assurance the new legislation does not pre-empt the current land use planning process, and a commitment that consultation and accommodation obligations will be met and capacity and technology will be provided to First Nations who want to participate. “We have a sacred responsibility to future generations to secure the protection of our homelands, which has been the basis of the survival of the people of Nishnawbe Aski for generations,” Beardy said. “It is critical that any development of natural resources in the Far North must respect Aboriginal and treaty rights while supporting an environmentally sustainable economic future for our people.”

Sachigo’s Richard Barkman was one of many northern Ontario artists who demonstrated their craft techniques at the Sequin Aboriginal Arts and Crafts Spring Show. “When you start making them, it takes about four hours to make each one,” said the well-known tamarack geese maker who currently has about 1,300 orders for his geese. “I can make 40 geese in a day when everything is ready.” Barkman said he begins by trimming tamarack twigs from

trees in the forest, then cleaning the twigs so they are smooth without any bumps or forks, sorting the cleaned twigs into piles of the same length, chopping up the leftover pieces of tamarack for the centre filler material, wrapping the centre filler material into a round shape, attaching the twigs to the centre material and shaping them into a geese shape. “The little birds take 60 branches,” Barkman said, “the big ones over a hundred.” Barkman, who works as a heavy duty mechanic, has also created a variety of display stands from pieces of scrap
