Sachigo Lake student dies in Thunder Bay

Orange Shirt Day

Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

Students and staff at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School and the community of Sachigo Lake are reeling from the loss of Daniel Randall Levac.

The 20-year-old was killed outside a Thunder Bay movie theatre on Oct. 3.

A memorial ceremony was held at the DFC gymnasium on Oct. 7 in honour of Levac, where staff and students and loved ones shared stories.

“Daniel, my big brother,” read a letter by Levac’s friend, Dakota, during the memorial. “You’ll be deeply missed. It’ll be hard going to school without you. You always had a smile on your face, always full of life.”

“I’ll finish school and what you started. I love you. Rest in peace.

Dakota.”

A childhood friend named Natasha reflected on memories of Levac.

“Daniel and I were good buddies since we were little,” she said. “He always taught me to laugh, that it was good to laugh. He was always laughing.”

“If there was one thing I’ll always remember,” she continued, “he taught me to be myself around everybody, don’t be scared to be yourself.”

DFC Principal Jonathan Kakegamic remembered when Levac unexpectedly arrived with other students three years ago. Levac had attended DFC the year prior but he was not on expected to attend that year.

“So I asked him what are you doing here,” Kakegamic recalled. “He said, I just went to the airport and jumped on a plane.”

Those in attendance laughed at Kakegamic’s anecdote.

Levac was expecting to graduate by the end of the school year.

“Ever since that day, he’s been a solid student at DFC,” Kakegamic continued. “He made a choice that he was going to finish.”

Kakegamic said Levac was one of the boarding students that stayed with him.

Community members of Thunder Bay take part in the Every Child Matters Indian Residential School Awareness Walk on Oct. 1. The walk was held to honour the children who survived the residential school system and to remember those who did not make it home. Orange t-shirts were handed out to the first 100 participants in the walk to remember a former residential school student, Phyllis Webstad, whose brand-new orange shirt that her grandmother had just bought for her was taken away on her first day at residential school. Three sisters walked in memory of their mother. See story on page 8.

Whole community needs to work together to build bridges The Building Bridges community forum brought together six panelists to speak about cross-cultural relations in Thunder Bay, a city of about 108,000 people.

Organized by CBC Radio One, the event was aimed at bridging the gap between the indigenous and non-indigenous people in the city.

Lac Des Mille Lac Elder Jim Chicago called for Thunder Bay residents to come together.

“To build bridges, you need a solid foundation,” Chicago said. ““Community has to work together. When I say community, I mean community, not just one. I’m not saying you or you, but the community at large has to work together.”

At the end of the panelists’ discussion, Neskantaga’s Clyde Moonias, a Lakehead University student, shared his fears about crime and racism in Thunder Bay. “I’m terrified to walk to the grocery store,” Moonias said. “I’m terrified to even walk home from school at night. And what terrifies me is all the crime that is happening in our city and all the racism that we … as Anishinabe minorities face.”

NAN Deputy Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler, whose wife Tesa Fiddler was one of the panelists, was impressed with the turnout at the Building Bridges community forum. About 200 people attended the two-hour event.

Residential school awareness raised on Orange t-shirt day The Every Child Matters Indian Residential School Awareness Walk was held on Sept. 30 in Thunder Bay. The walk was held to honour the children who survived the residential school system and to remember those who did not make it home.

Orange t-shirts were handed out to the first 100 participants in the walk to remember a former residential school student, Phyllis Webstad, whose brand-new orange shirt that her grandmother had just bought for her was taken away on her first day at residential school.

The awareness walk started at city hall and led to the former site of St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School at the corners of Arthur and Franklin Streets.

Three sisters walked in honour of their mother during the event, including Vicki Decorte. Her mother had attended St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School.

The event included a special school assembly at Pope John Paul II Senior Elementary School, which is located near the former residential school. There, the students were informed about the residential school legacy.

Book by St. Anne’s survivor shortlisted for Governor General award The memoir of a St. Anne’s Residential School survivor has been shortlisted for a Governor General award.

Up Ghost River: A Chief’s Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History, a memoir by Fort Albany First Nation’s Edmund Metatawabin, was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award in the non-fiction category along with three other books.

Released in August, Up Ghost River chronicles Metatawabin’s childhood attending the notorious residential school, beginning when he was seven years old. He describes the horrific abuses he and other First Nations children suffered at hands of the Catholic school administrators, including being put in an electric chair and being forced to eat his own vomit.

The book details how those experiences tormented him in his adult years – where he served as chief of Fort Albany – and the healing he sought to recover from alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Other works have been shortlisted for other categories, including fiction, poetry, drama, children’s literature (text and illustration), and translation (French to English).

The winners will be announced on Nov. 18 followed by an awards presentation on Nov. 26 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

A candlelight vigil was held on Oct. 4 outside the Silver City movie theatre where Sachigo Lake’s Daniel Levac was killed the night before. Thunder Bay police have charged Shane Patrick Ashpanaquestcum of Nibinamik First Nation with second-degree murder.

DFC student murdered outside Thunder Bay movie theatre Continued from page 1 “After a month, he and I started butting heads because of curfew and all that,” Kakegamic recalled.

“And he said, I need to move out of your house, before I start disliking you,” Kakagamic said, which again was received with laughter. “I said why, (and he said) because there’s too much pressure living in your house.”

Kakegamic struggled with words before saying he is going to miss Levac.

“Every student in this school has made an impact,” he said.

“We need to keep encouraging our students. Because some of them don’t realize how much impact they made on us.”

Sachigo Lake Chief Alvin Beardy said his community was in shock at the loss of one of its young community members.

The First Nation had all its high school students return home from not only DFC but Pelican Falls and Queen Elizabeth District High School in Sioux Lookout as well following the incident.

“We’ve had services – singing and community get-togethers for the students,” Beardy said.

He said a dinner was held for the students on Oct. 12.

“We held it to encourage them to work on themselves and to continue with high school,” Beardy said. “And we told them that we have to be vigilant with the life out there (in the city). Not get in trouble out there.”

The students returned to

Daniel Randall Levac, 20, of Sachigo Lake.

Thunder Bay and Sioux Lookout on Oct. 14. Beardy said they will receive “continued counseling and observation at the schools as they try and regroup and go over what they’re feeling.”

Beardy said although the community’s still grieving, “we’re all starting our healing journey to fully recover from this incident.”

Beardy expressed thanks to “everybody for helping us out and lifting us up.

“We were in total shock and they were there in our time of need,” he said. “So thanks to everyone and many of the various people that came to help.”

Beardy said although Levac grew up in Sachigo, he is technically a member of North Caribou Lake First Nation.

He thanked North Caribou for “allowing us to bring him home.”

Levac was murdered outside the Silvercity Movie Theatre in Thunder Bay on the evening of Oct. 3.

At about 10:25 p.m. that

night, the Thunder Bay Police Service responded to 911 calls about a disturbance between two males that escalated.

The first officers were on scene within minutes and found Levac in “medical distress.”

Officers began CPR until the ambulance arrived. Levac was transported to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center where he was pronounced dead.

Officers located a suspect matching the description of the other male a short distance away on a walk bridge. He was arrested without incident. A weapon was found on him.

He was later identified as 19-year-old Shane Patrick Ashpanaquestcum, a member of Nibinamik First Nation.

He was charged with second-degree murder and was remanded into custody at the District Jail. His had a second court date on Oct.14.

According to police, Levac and Ashpanaquestcum were not known to each other and alcohol was a factor in the incident.

We are committed to providing a safe, healthy, secure and respectful environment through the prevention of violent, abusive and aggressive behaviour.

Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre has a Zero Tolerance Policy for all forms of abuse.

We reserve the right to take appropriate measures, that may include asking someone to leave or involving the police, if this policy is violated.

The health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff is important to us.

Commentary Life Just Got Better For The Children Of Attawapiskat Xavier Kataquapit Under the northern sky

C

ongratulations to everyone in Attawapiskat who fought so hard over many years to lobby for the construction of a new public school.

This year the children started their school session in a brand new, contamination free school.

I was saddened to see the demolition of the once proud J.R. Nakogee School and to witness the unfolding of the tragic story of my old elementary school. I recall how excited everyone in Attawapiskat said they were to see the opening of this new school in 1976. Soon in a few years, after the doors were opened, I attended class. I remember very well how great it was to be in a newer building and for we children it felt as if we had left the community to travel to some modern southern place. Back then, we were very happy to have running water in our school as few homes in the Attawapiskat had indoor plumbing. We had to fetch water from the river near the rapids and all of us had to use outhouses for toilets.

Just imagine what it was like for all of us little children to venture out every day to a new school with all the modern conveniences. We were amazed that a short walk across town could take us to the future and a place where we mostly learned English to add to our Cree language.

Sadly, our infatuation with our new school did not last long as a giant oil spill that amounted to thousands of gallons happened. The spill sent a huge amount of oil into the ground surrounding our beloved school. Now just imagine if this had happened in a school in a non-Native community to the south or some other built up area in Canada. That school would have been shut down right away. However, although the people of Attawapiskat complained about the effect of the oil spill on the children there was no resolution from the federal government to do something to correct this problem. I went on to graduate several years later from the school, as did so many other boys and girls. I did not know until later that I had the unique experience of graduating from a school that sat on top of one of the largest oil spills in the history of Ontario.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that the government began to take active notice of what had

happened to the school and that was only due to the fight the community organized to deal with the oil spill. The history of my tragic school came to a head in 2000 when it was finally shut down and closed off to students due to the contamination. Children had been attending the contaminated school for many years and some were showing signs of illness.

The temporary solution was provided by the federal government to close the school and put in place portable buildings to serve the students. There were many problems with this arrangement mainly due to the less than perfect construction of these buildings to deal with freezing temperatures over long hard winters. It also meant the young children had to walk from building to building in very bad weather. Imagine how difficult it was for these young children to deal with portables for 14 years while the federal government thought about the problem and a solution. I don’t think this would have been tolerated in a non-Native community in other parts of Canada.

Despite all the broken promises of a new school over a 14-year period, Attawapiskat was provided a ray of hope in the personality of Shannen Koostachin, a bright and vocal young girl who was brave enough to speak up for her fellow students in the fight for a new school. She inspired others in our home community and in the end managed to achieve a real promise from the government that a new school would be constructed.

Sadly, we are still grieving her tragic death in 2010 on a highway in northern Ontario while travelling to continue her education. After so many years of being ignored by the government Shannen kept everyone’s hope alive that our community would win the fight for a new school for the children of Attawapiskat.

Thanks to the persistence of Shannen, the chiefs, council members, teachers, parents and students, the government had to deal with the issue.

Thanks is also in order to Charlie Angus, MP for Timmins-James Bay, who worked tirelessly to lobby for the new school and successfully introduced a motion in the house of commons referred to as Shannen’s Dream. Thanks also should go out to the federal government and in particular John Duncan, former minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada for moving ahead and constructing the new school.

Life just got a lot better for a whole bunch of children in Attawapiskat.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What Are Mammograms and Breast Lumps?

Dr. Shannon Wesley Guest columnist

O

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and throughout this month we raise awareness about breast health, breast cancer and encourage women to go for their breast screening mammogram.

But, a mammogram isn’t just used for breast cancer screening; sometimes it can be used for diagnosis if there are breast health concerns. In this month’s article, I thought it would be helpful to discuss mammograms and breast lumps.

A mammogram is a lowdose x-ray of the breast that is usually performed in a hospital, clinic, or on the Screen for Life mobile coach. The x-ray will take pictures of the breasts to see if there are any abnormal areas of concern.

To complete a mammogram, a woman will remove her bra and an x-ray technologist will

help her to stand in front of the mammogram machine where her breasts will be placed on a flat surface, one at a time. In order to get the best images possible, the breast tissue is compressed on the flat surface. The test may be a bit uncomfortable, but it only lasts for a few seconds.

There are two types of mammograms. The first type of mammogram, the breast screening mammogram, is done when there are no symptoms of breast cancer.

Women ages 50 to 74 years should complete their routine breast cancer screening mammogram every two years. A diagnostic mammogram is completed when a woman does have symptoms or clinical concerns, such as: breast lumps, pain, nipple discharge, and changes to the breast such as a rash, dimpling, or a change in the size of the breast.

A breast screening mammogram can help to find cancer when it’s small, before you can see it or feel it. The benefit of finding cancer early is that it is less likely to have spread to other areas of your body and can be easier

to treat.

What happens if you feel a lump in your breast? See your primary care provider right away. At this appointment, you may be scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound. An ultrasound also takes pictures of the breast, but doesn’t use x-rays to do so. Sometimes, healthcare providers may ask for a biopsy of the lump. This means a small sample of the lump will be taken out using a needle to send to a lab for processing. This procedure will not hurt because you will be given medications for pain.

It is important to remember that a breast lump isn’t always cancer. It could be a number of other things:

•Breast cyst: sac filled with fluid •Breast abscess: pus-filled pockets, usually under the skin •Benign breast tumour: non-cancerous, harmless lump In some cases, the lump will be diagnosed as breast cancer. If this happens, your

healthcare providers will want to know if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body, they will test for this. At this point, your doctor will help to arrange your treatment. It is important to remember to be aware of the health of your breasts and go for your regular screening mammogram. This will help to find cancers earlier, and increase your chances of beating cancer and continuing to live a good life.

Breast cancer isn’t the only cancer you can screen for.

Women can also screen for cervical cancer and colorectal cancer. A cervical cancer Pap test should be completed by all women, ages 21 to 69 years, who have ever been sexually active every three years. A Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) kit for colorectal cancer screening should be completed by all men and women, ages 50 to 74 years, every two years.

Don’t put your cancer screening off. There is nothing to be feared. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have any more questions.

Until next month, your health is in your hands.

Sisters in Spirit vigil honours missing, murdered women and her murder is unsolved to this day.

“What is happening to our Aboriginal women is a tragedy and the families who have lost a loved one will never be the same,” McGuire said.

Ontario Regional Chief Stan Beardy also stands in support of the SIS vigils.

“These vigils are an opportunity for us to not only remember the murdered and missing women and girls but to honour their families and to hope that all Canadians will find the moral and ethical will to demand justice be served,” Beardy stated.

He said that a national inquiry is necessary in bringing some clear understanding into the root causes of the travesty of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

Also on board with supporting the SIS vigils is the First Nations Women’s Caucus, which is coordinated through the Chiefs of Ontario.

Deputy Grand Chief Denise Stonefish, Chair of the First Nations Women’s Caucus, said that the SIS initiative has proven that there is an on-going need to continue the educational awareness and to ensure justice for these missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls and their families.

Stephanie Wesley Wawatay News

More than 200 communities across the country hosted a Sisters in Spirit (SIS) vigil in honour of missing and murdered Aboriginal earlier this month.

The Ontario Native Women’s Society (ONWA) hosted a vigil on the grounds of their Thunder Bay office on Oct. 3.

“It is important to remember that the 1,181 Aboriginal women who have lost their lives in the past 30 years are more than just a number or a statistic,” said Erin Corston, ONWA’s executive director. “That number represents the women who have tragically lost their lives to violence. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, grandmothers, and friends, and each one left behind countless loved ones who must bear the burden of that loss every day.”

Corston said that ONWA hosted a SIS vigil as a movement for social change and a reminder that “our stolen sisters will not be forgotten.”

Ann McGuire, who spoke at the vigil, experienced first hand the tragedy and grief that accompanies the loss of a loved one.

McGuire’s sister was murdered in Winnipeg, MB in 1994

“This is still happening,” Stonefish said. “Aboriginal women and girls continue to go missing and/or end up murdered.”

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is the lead organizer of SIS. “Oct. 4th is a day when we honour the lives of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls and support families who have been tragically touched by the loss of a loved one to violence,” a statement from NWAC reads. “No other event in Canada brings so many Aboriginal communities and Canadian citizens together to specifically celebrate, honour and support Aboriginal women and girls.”

ONWA said it hopes the vigils that were held will promote inclusiveness and educate as many Canadians as possible on the issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls.

“By continuing to advocate for awareness, we hope to rally support and compel all levels of government to respond and commit to a national inquiry so that the scale and severity of violence against Aboriginal women in Canada can finally be addressed in a meaningful way,” ONWA’s statement said.

Annual Day Of Prayer For First Nations Children WHEREAS, the Chiefs in Assembly acknowledge the children are our most sacred resource and are the leaders of the future; and WHEREAS, in 2007, the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada and the Assembly of First Nations filed a human rights complaint against the Government of Canada.

The complaint says that First Nations children and families living on reserve are not receiving the same level of child welfare services as other families in Canada, and that this is discrimination; and WHEREAS, the closing arguments for the complaint at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal are set to start on October 20th, 2014; and WHEREAS, the Chiefs in Assembly recognize that there is an internationally recognized Children's Day on November 20th of each year, but there is no recognized day for First Nations Children;

Consistent with the transparency and public engagement elements of CEAA 2012, this is the last of four opportunities for the public to comment on this project. Following this final comment period, the Environmental Assessment Report will be finalized and the Minister of the Environment will issue an environmental assessment decision statement indicating whether the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, and identifying the conditions that the proponent must meet with respect to mitigation and follow-up requirements in the event that the project is permitted to proceed.

Projects subject to CEAA 2012 are assessed using a science-based approach. If the project is permitted to proceed to the next phase, it will continue to be subject to Canada’s strong environmental laws, rigorous enforcement and follow-up, and fines for non-compliance.

The Proposed Project Rainy River Resources Limited is proposing the construction, operation, and decommissioning of an open-pit and underground gold mine and on-site metal mill, located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Fort Frances in the Township of Chapple, Ontario. Mining is proposed to occur for 15 to 20 years, with an ore production capacity of 27,000 tonnes per day. The on-site metal mill is proposed to have an ore input capacity of 21,000 tonnes per day. The project, as proposed, also involves the realignment of a portion of Highway 600 and the construction of a 230 kilovolt transmission line.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Chiefs in Assembly declare October 20th to be an annual Day of Prayer for First Nations Children; and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT, the Chiefs in Assembly direct Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority to promote and celebrate this Day of Prayer for First Nations Children annually.

Dated this 11th day of September 2014 in Lac Seul First Nation, Ontario.

Please join Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority, and the leadership from the 32 First Nation communities in the Sioux Lookout region in honouring the Annual Day of Prayer For First Nations Children on October 20

Former Grassy Narrows leader running for national chief Lenny Carpenter

Knowledge Understanding Integrity

“There remains grinding poverty and historic wrongs that need to be resolved through land claims negotiations.”

Wawatay News

Simon Fobister of Grassy Narrows First Nation announced he is running for national chief in the upcoming election slated for December.

Fobister, who served as chief of his community for 16 years, said he has been approached by chiefs across Canada to run.

“Although I am from a First Nation in northwestern Ontario, chiefs from coast to coast to coast have approached me to encourage that I run for this high office,” Fobister said in a media release.

Fobister wants to make a difference in finding solutions in the areas of basic infrastructure, housing, potable water and sewer systems, health and education.

“I will work with anyone and everyone to make progress in those areas, whether that be the federal government, provincial governments, and the public and private sectors,” he said.

When he was chief of Grassy Narrows, Fobister represented his community in its decadelong battle with the provincial government over clear-cutting on its traditional territory and mercury poisoning.

If he is elected as the national chief, Fobister said, if requested by chiefs, he would play a facilitation role in any resource development, whether it is in the Ring of Fire or the Northern Gateway or Trans Canada pipelines.

“I see the national chief

Experience

Simon Fobister playing a key role in bridge building as between First Nations, governments and the private sector,” he said. “But in the final analysis it will be the First Nations that determine their respective paths.”

Former national chief Shawn Atleo resigned in May amid criticism over the proposed First Nations education bill he supported despite opposition from a number of chiefs across Canada. Recently it was revealed Atleo signed agreements with the Canadian government on the bill without the knowledge, let alone consent, of Assembly of First Nations regional chiefs.

As a leader, Fobister said he is not one to dictate solutions on his own.

“I see one of the basic roles of the national chief to be a good listener and to seek consensus amongst the chiefs throughout Canada on collective approaches,” he said.

“If the prime minister or pre-

miers propose a negotiation or agreement, it is for the chiefs to debate and decide amongst themselves how to proceed, and to what extent, if at all the national chief should become involved.”

The reality is, Fobister said, the Crown has failed to honour its obligations and has broken the relationship of trust.

“There remains grinding poverty and historic wrongs that need to be resolved through land claims negotiations,” he said. “We have to find a better path for recognition of our inherent right to self-government that will ensure the survival of our culture, language, lands, resources and environment.”

Fobister joins current interim National Chief Ghislain Picard, (AFN regional chief for Quebec and Labrador for 22 years before taking on the helm of the AFN in May) and Saskatchewan Federation of Indian Nations Chief Perry Bellegarde as declared candidates.

Any other potential runners have until Nov. 4 to declare their candidacy.

The election for national chief is slated for Dec. 10 during a special chiefs assembly in Winnipeg.

Residential school students honoured at Orange Shirt Day Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Three sisters walked in honour of their mother during the Every Child Matters Indian Residential School Awareness Walk in Thunder Bay. “I came in memory of my mother,” said Vicki Decorte, whose mother, who passed away three years ago, had attended St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School. “I was a little child and I was listening to her stories about residential school and here I thought it was a good place to go. And I asked her ‘Can I go,’ and she said ‘No. No my girl, you can’t go.’ And I said ‘Why not.’ And she said ‘I don’t want you to go.’”

Decorte said her mother eventually sent her to live with her grandparents in the bush in the early 1960s to avoid residential school.

“And I often wondered why she did that for a couple of years,” Decorte said. “Then I realized why she did it. People were coming into Caramat and trying to get me to come into Thunder Bay. But right now I say thank God that she said no.”

Decorte recalled some of her mother’s stories about being pulled by her ponytail and thrown on the floor while at residential school.

“She had a brittle bone disease and she didn’t even know it,” Decorte said. “So she got many broken bones, broken arms, broken legs. And that’s the suffering she went through.”

Decorte said her family was affected by her mother’s experiences at residential school.

“We had a broken family,” Decorte said. “But we all had to survive. My younger sisters and my brother didn’t know anything about this.”

The Sept. 30 residential school awareness walk to the former site of St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School at the corners of Arthur and Franklin Streets was held to honour the children who survived the residential school system and to remember those who did not make it home. Orange t-shirts were handed out to the first 100 participants in the walk

Right: Tannis Smith, left, and Vicki Decorte, centre, participated in the walk in memory of their mother. to remember a former residential school student, Phyllis Webstad, whose brand-new orange shirt that her grandmother had just bought for her was taken away on her first day at residential school.

Tannis Smith, one of Decorte’s sisters, said her family was affected by residential school due to her mother’s experiences.

“I ended up being adopted at birth outside of Thunder Bay,” Smith said. “This walk is very important to raise awareness about residential school and its effects. A lot of people say ‘Why don’t people just get over it,’ but that’s not really an answer because we’re still dealing with it every single day of our lives. And the effects trickle down to my children.”

Smith was impressed with the comments from Pino Tassone, director of education with the Thunder Bay Catholic Dis-

trict School Board, during a special school assembly at Pope John Paul II Senior Elementary School, which is located near the former residential school.

“The primary objective of the residential school system was to remove and isolate children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures and to assimilate them into a dominant culture,” Tassone said.

“These objectives were based on the assumption that Aboriginal cultures and spiritual beliefs were inferior and unequal. Today we recognize that this policy of assimilation was wrong, has caused great harm and has no place in our country and our communities and in our schools.”

Deputy Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler said residential schools were “not very nice.”

“Kids, some of them younger than you, some as young as four or five, were forced to leave their

communities,” Fiddler said to the students during the special school assembly. “They did not have a choice. Their parents didn’t have a choice, their grandparents didn’t have a choice.

They were forced to leave their communities and to spend at least 10 months out of the year living in these places.”

Fiddler said many residential school students died while at residential school.

“At least 4,000 kids died in these schools,” Fiddler said, noting that more than 150 residential schools operated across Canada over a period of more than 150 years. “And some of these kids died right here.”

The residential school awareness walk began with speeches

by Fiddler and Thunder Bay Mayor Keith Hobbs at City Hall and ended with sandwiches and refreshments at the Knights of Columbus Hall on May Street.

Lac Des Mille Lac Elder Jim Chicago called for Thunder Bay residents to come together to build bridges during CBC Radio One’s Building Bridges community forum.

“To build bridges, you need a solid foundation,” said Chicago, the last speaker during the Oct. 1 Building Bridges community forum at Confederation College in Thunder Bay. “Community has to work together. When I say community, I mean community, not just one. I’m not saying you or you, but the community at large has to work together.”

Chicago encouraged community members to learn how to build bridges by looking at how trees coexist in the forest.

“They’re all different but they live in harmony,” Chicago said. “They live in harmony with Mother Earth, they live in harmony with everybody. Once you have done that, by building a solid foundation, then this city of Thunder Bay will become one, not many.”

The Building Bridges community forum brought together six panelists — Tesa Fiddler, Lisa Fowler, Karen Drake, Scott Chisholm, Heather Koller and Lisa Primavesi — to speak about cross-cultural relations in the city of about 108,000 people.

At the end of the panelists’ discussion, Neskantaga’s Clyde Moonias, a Lakehead

University student, shared his fears about crime and racism in Thunder Bay. “I’m terrified to walk to the grocery store,” Moonias said.

“I’m terrified to even walk home from school at night.

And what terrifies me is all the crime that is happening in our city and all the racism that we … as Anishinabe minorities face.”

Confederation College’s Brenda Small said she understood Moonias’ fears about being terrified to walk outside at night.

“It’s a fear that I think about from time to time,” said the vice-president of Confederation College’s Centre for Policy in Aboriginal Learning, who is originally from Moose Factory.

“Most of the time I feel pretty comfortable, but I can tell you I used to worry about my brother. And I thought often about J.J. Harper in Winnipeg and how native men are vulnerable, especially in darkness at night. It’s a scary city at night.”

Small said that everyone has been impacted by racism at some point in their lives.

“We need to work together,” Small said. “Those kinds of relationships are going to be really key about what we leave behind for our children and grandchildren.”

Deputy Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler, whose wife Tesa Fiddler was one of the panelists, was impressed with the turnout at the Building Bridges community forum. About 200 people

attended the two-hour event.

“I think it is important that we have these types of conversations, these type of gatherings on a more regular basis, not just during the election season,” Fiddler said. Fiddler said the fears raised by Moonias about crime and racism are ongoing issues for many people in Thunder Bay. “That is something that we need to address as a community to ensure that there is a level of comfort, a level of safety for everyone, no matter who they are and no matter where they are in the city,” Fiddler said.

Whitesand’s Yolanda Wanakamik attended the Building Bridges community forum with her mother, who had travelled down from Armstrong earlier in the day.

“She came in tonight just to have some dinner and to have some time with her grandchildren,” said Lakehead University’s coordinator of graduate and external relations, Aboriginal Initiatives. “This is a great conversation starter for the rest of our evening.”

Wanakamik said the evening’s conversation requires action.

“The policies that we do have here in the city and in the region do need to be addressed at a higher level,” Wanakamik said. “There needs to be some systematic (changes) that we put in place so that people do have a greater understanding of others.”

Matawa First Nations building an Aboriginal workforce Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Matawa First Nations is building an Aboriginal workforce through the Kiikenomaga Kikenjigewen Employment and Training Services (KKETS) Ring of Fire Aboriginal Training Alliance (RoFATA) training programs. “(The trainees are aiming for) full-time employment within the mining sector,” said Mary Meshake, RoFATA career development officer. “There’s a lot of future potential developments that are taking place outside our communities and most of the trainees that are in (the KKETS) programs are really excited to be a part of what is going to be happening.”

“These people are expected to run the mining camps. There is going to be a whole cohort there finishing

by Christmas.”

-Peter Rasevych

Eight RoFATA trainees recently completed the 15-week Welding Level 1 program at Grand River Employment and Training in Six Nations while another 10 trainees completed the 10-week Heavy Equipment Operators program at the Operating Engineers Training Institute in Morrisburg in

Metatawabin memoir shortlisted for Governor General literary award

early July.

“We’re currently running our Security program, which started on Aug. 25,” Meshake said, noting there are 13 trainees in the Security program. “We utilized the new (regional) training facility in Neskantaga.”

The four-week theory portion of the Security program was completed on Sept. 19, with the practical portion scheduled for Sept. 22-Oct. 10 in Ginoogaming.

“There is a huge opportunity for that group,” Meshake said. “They can further that education (by) going into Police Foundations.”

Peter Rasevych, KKETS retention services officer, said about 145 trainees completed 10 Mining Readiness

programs, one in each of the nine Matawa communities and one in Thunder Bay, this past spring.

“In May, they started their RoFATA training, their pretrades pre-apprenticeship training,” Rasevych said.

“Those students just graduated Aug. 15 and some of them are still in programming now, just getting out on Sept. 12.”

KKETS staff are currently working to get the trainees work in their fields of study.

“Being in the union helps,” Rasevych said. “But with respect to the mining, the Ring of Fire — that is a challenge because as you know what is going on up there, there is nothing happening yet.”

Rasevych said a number of programs are currently underway in addition to the Security program, including the Remote Camp Cook, Remote Camp Support and the Environmental Monitoring programs.

“These people are expected to run the min-

ing camps,” Rasevych said.

“There is going to be a whole cohort there finishing by Christmas.”

Rasevych is pleased with the success rates of the trainees so far, noting they have completed the two levels of training to date with about an 80-90 per cent success rate.

Meshake encouraged community members to apply for training.

“We’re always taking applications,” Meshake said, noting they currently have about 475 applications on their database. “Anyone from the Matawa communities can come and see us at our location at 28 North Cumberland St., 3rd floor to ask questions and complete applications.”

Ontario Juries Need First Nations Representation

Lenny Carpenter Wawatay News

The memoir of a St. Anne’s Residential School survivor has been shortlisted for a Governor General award.

Up Ghost River: A Chief’s Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History, a memoir by Fort Albany First Nation’s Edmund Metatawabin, was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award in the nonfiction category along with three other books.

Released in August, Up Ghost River chronicles Metatawabin’s childhood attending the notorious residential school, beginning when he was seven years old. He describes the horrific abuses he and other First Nations children suffered at hands of the Catholic school administrators, including being put in an electric chair and being forced to eat his own vomit.

The book details how those experiences tormented him in his adult years – where he served as chief of Fort Albany – and the healing he sought to recover from alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Metatawabin continues to represent residential survivors and has recently advocated on their behalf as they sought the release of files from a 1990’s police investigation from the federal government.

Other works have been shortlisted for other categories, including fiction, poetry, drama, children’s literature (text and illustration), and translation (French to English).

It’s that time of the year. Juror questionnaires are going out in the mail. If you receive a juror questionnaire, please fill it out. Filling out a questionnaire does not mean that you will be chosen for jury service, but it’s the first step.

The winners will be announced on Nov. 18 followed by an awards presentation on Nov. 26 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

Each winner will receive $25,000. The publisher of each winning book will receive $3,000 to support promotional activities. Non-winning finalists each receive $1,000.

The Canada Council for the Arts funds, administers and promotes the Governor General’s Literary Awards, Canada ‘s oldest and most prestigious literary awards program with a total value of $450,000.

“This year’s list of finalists contains powerful novels and poems, imaginative children’s books, skillful translations, entrancing dramas and enlightening nonfiction,” said Canada Council director and CEO Simon Brault.

“They are all meaningful books in which we can, as readers and Canadians, lose ourselves and find ourselves.”

The Vision: Through the eyes of a youth leader It all started in December 2012, when Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence went on a hunger strike in the nation’s capital on Victoria Island in a small teepee.

It was a cry out to Canada’s Government and Prime Minister, Stephen Harper to sit down and discuss Canada’s treaty relationship with First Nations leadership. Her protest attracted worldwide attention to the Idle No More movement.

All across the nation a spark grew and even ignited in me, I couldn’t just sit at home when our people were in distress.

I had to move. Deputy Chief Darryl Sainnawap of Kitchenumaykoosib Inninuwug, I and a few of us called a board room meeting for youth who would want to help show their support in any way we could. A few of us brainstormed of what we should do to take part in this historical event. A community “spiritual walk” was called at the end of December, in the cold 40-below weather we walked from Mainland to the treaty site across town, with KI flags, signs to show we stand in solidarity with Idle No More and Chief Theresa Spence. All ages came out to show their support and walk with us as we led the way. The first ripple was completed.

The second one started shortly after the spiritual walk.

I received a call from the band office asking if I would be interested in joining Mark Anderson, his crew and some of the KI leadership to walk from Toronto’s Queen Park to Ottawa’s Par-

Submitted photos

Left: KI Elders share a photo-op after a chat with the Countess of Wessex during the royal vsit event in the community last month.

Above: The KI youth who organized the event. liament Hill to help raise awareness for what was happening in our country. Five days we walked in relays covering every 5 kilometres. People we met along the way suddenly became lifelong friends and supporters.

We even came across the racist people. Their words would bring us down but still we kept the fire going for our people and generations to come.

The joy we felt on Jan. 6, 2013 when we finally reached our goal was quite overwhelming, to meet Chief Theresa Spence, the woman who woke up the entire nation was something else.

It was then when I first met Andree Cazabon, a local filmmaker from Ottawa. She quickly became a close friend of mine. I told her about all the racist people I’ve encountered along the way, heart broken I knew she wanted to help in every way she could. It was then our “Recon-

ciliation” vision was born.

With only five months to plan, Samuel Mckay being our community mentor, we, Justin Beardy, Faith Mckay, Leona Matthews and I came into partnership with Productions Cazabon. And Andree believed in us as leaders and was there for every event. We formed a youth group to plan the early stages of the “June Reconciliation Event,” a youth driven project to break down and build bridges of stereotypes of everyday Canadians, inviting 50 strangers into our homeland to experience life in the forgotten North, to show them that regardless of our everyday struggles, we do not forget where we come from, the beauty of our land we proudly call our home is our way of life, our love and ours to share.

Weeks into planning doubts filled the air of how we could pull this off. Long nights and obstacles we endured, finally

the big day came when everything we worked so hard for came to reality. Media reporters and people across the country were in awe as we successfully accomplished our vision.

The most memorable moment for me was when the Governor General’s wife, Sharon Johnston and the Lt. Governor’s wife, Ruth Anne Onley, joined KI Elders in a teepee where they had tea and talked for a good hour. The Elders stated how proud they were of us youth for putting together this never before seen event in our community. It was the cherry to my sundae.

The following July, Faith was invited down south by one of the guests. I joined her and together we went on a southern tour to talk about the success of our project.

Weeks later, rumours spread of us hosting another event next year. With the continuous

support from our chief, council and community members we decided to host another one.

August 2014 was our aim then we decided to coincide with “Homecoming” an event where eight surrounding communities come home and visit for a week full of activities and family get togethers. Once again, we accomplished our goal a second year in a row. It was a life-changing event for our guests. An elderly woman from Jamaica said the amount of hugs she received in one day was not even the amount of hugs she would receive in three months... even from family. Each guest of the two events we hosted will always be in my heart.

What came next was history.

On Sept. 18, some 85 years after the historical treaty signing between KI leaders and the British Crown, a representative from the Royal Family came

to our community in hopes to rebuild bonds between the Royal Family and Canada’s Aboriginal community.

“I hope that through my involvement with the proud Aboriginal people of this land that the old bonds of our relationship are strengthened,” the Countess of Wessex said after her unusual northern Ontario visit.

For our KI leadership, it was quite overwhelming to stand by the historical treaty site with a representative from the Crown as our ancestors did many moons ago.

Today, I stand here and proudly say, “We did it!

Together, great minds could make the impossible, possible if you believe in your dreams.”

Canadian Rangers and Junior Canadian Rangers played a leading role in helping to organize and support an overnight visit by Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, to Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug.

They provided a guard of honour for her arrival and departure. They also prepared and served her and her entourage a traditional breakfast. The breakfast consisted of moose, three kinds of fish, porridge, two kinds of bannock, and fruit.

Rangers caught the fish the previous evening. “Oh, they were fresh all right,” said Master Cpl. Ralph Hudson, who managed to get a “selfie” of himself with the princess on his cell phone .

“She was very kind,” said Master Warrant Officer Robert Patterson of 3rd Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. “When she was leaving she spoke to me and thanked us for the role we played in her visit to Kitchenuhmaykoosib. She wished me good travels and I wished her good travels.”

Cree language project on Aviva Community Fund voting list Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Swampy Cree N dialectlanguage learning materials and curriculum are among the education projects up for voting at this year’s Aviva Community Fund competition.

“We’re hoping to design and develop Cree language materials in the N-dialect,” said Samantha Mathews, who entered the Indigenous Language Project into the Aviva competition along with her sister Judy Carpenter-Martin.

“We were thinking of books, flash cards — helpful things

that would benefit the language teacher.”

Mathews said her sister, a former Cree language teacher, found there were “hardly any resources” and “a lack of materials” when she was teaching.

“We were just thinking of different kinds of ideas like developing engaging, colourful language learning materials,” Mathews said. “My sister said some of the materials she did work with were kind of outdated and didn’t really engage the learner.”

Mathews said the N-dialect is mainly spoken in Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, Kasheche-

wan and Peawanuck, but the Indigenous Language Project materials could also be used in cities down south, such as Cochrane, Ottawa, Timmins and Toronto, where many Swampy Cree N-dialect people have moved.

“We’ve been saying how (the Indigenous Language Project) can impact communities, but it is also going to impact generations,” Mathews said. “By developing these materials, we hope especially parents will start to speak (their language) and encourage their kids to learn it and pass it on.”

Aviva Insurance began the competition six years ago to help Canadians create positive changes for their community.

Over the past five competitions, Aviva provided more than $4.5 million in funding for 91 charities and community groups. More than 7,500 ideas have been proposed over the past five years and more than 12 million votes cast from across the country.

“They’ve been giving away millions of dollars towards ideas that will create positive changes,” Mathews said.

“You have to get as many votes as you can, and if you get an

Aviva Insurance broker to support your idea, you have better chances of making it into each round. There are three rounds and right now we are in the first qualifying round.

So far we do have an insurance broker (All-Risks Insurance Brokers Limited) that is supporting our idea, but the thing is we’re trying to get as many votes as we can because we really do want to make it all the way to the finals.”

Interested people had an opportunity to support the Indigenous Language Project by voting online at www.avivacommunityfund.org.

First round voting for the Aviva competitors began on Sept. 29 with an end date on Oct. 14. Sixty projects with 1,000 votes or more, 20 from each of the three rounds of competition, will be awarded $1,000 to a registered charity associated to their idea. Projects that make it to the final judging phase of the competition will be awarded a minimum of $5,000. A special Broker Supported Grand Prize of up to $100,000 is also awarded during the competition. Finalists are awarded funding until the entire $1 million of funding is allocated for this year.

Birchbark canoe built in Kenora Rick Garrick

Wawatay News

Lac Seul Elder Kitty Everson and her granddaughter Dennise Pemmican recently helped build a 16-foot birchbark canoe in Kenora.

“We built a 16-foot birchbark canoe in seven days and launched it, right from harvesting of the birchbark and the spruce roots and putting it together,” Pemmican said, noting the canoe was built at Seven Generations Education Institute from July 26-Aug. 1 by a group of up to 10 people with the assistance of canoe builder Darren Lentz. “Some people came for an hour, some people came for the day, and there was a group of people who came out every single day from nine until five. They wanted to learn how to build it.”

of Kenora Anishinaabe-Kweg, helped pick the birchbark in June at a location between Thunder Bay and Kenora using a ladder.

“When you get it at the right time, you just cut it and then it just pops off of the tree,” Pemmican said. “We recently went back and (the tree) is healing.”

Everson helped pick the spruce roots that are used to stitch the canoe parts together.

“We just picked the spruce roots, soaked it, cleaned it and split it,” Everson said. “That is what we used to sew the bark.”

Pemmican said the canoebuilding project required “a lot of patience.”

“We were all working together, even though many of us had never built one before,” Pemmican said. “The last piece of work was pitching it, glueing it together. And then launching it.”

“I remember the smell of the cedar,” Pemmican said about her ride in the canoe during the launch. “It was amazing. Just to be able to be in that canoe, because it was something that we built, was amazing.”

Pemmican said the canoe was stable in the water.

“There was a little bit of a leak, but we fixed it,” Pemmican said. “Everyone was able to get in and have a canoe ride.”

The canoe is being housed at the Kenora Anishinaabe-Kewg Aboriginal Head Start Program.

“It is not a display,” Pemmican said. “It is going to be taken out each year and be paddled and honoured. To use it is the main thing.”

In addition to building the canoe, the builders also learned how to make birchbark baskets.

“It was all community built around stories and laughter,” Pemmican said.

LET’S PUT THE CARS OF TOMORROW ON THE ROAD TODAY. There is no one answer to solve our future energy needs, there are many. But to find them takes collaboration. That’s why Shell has been working with schools and universities around the world for over 25 years on the Shell Eco-marathon—an innovative competition that challenges students to design, build and drive the most fuel efficient vehicles possible—like a diesel vehicle built by students at Louisiana Tech that gets 134 km/l. Today’s cars average around 11km/l. That’s the kind of leap toward a sustainable energy future that we can get behind. Let’s broaden the world’s energy mix. www.youtube.com/shellletsgo
