No joint review, no Ring of Fire: Matawa chiefs Rick Garrick
Wawatay News

July 30, 2009
The chiefs of Matawa First Nations have withdrawn their support for development in the Ring of Fire. The Oct. 21 announcement comes after the federal government announced plans to conduct an environmental study of a potential mine project in the Ring of Fire, an area in the James Bay lowlands near several Matawa communities. But Matawa chiefs said they want a more thorough study of the chromite mine proposed by Cliffs Natural Resources, a company based out of Cleveland, Ohio. Constance Lake Chief Roger Wesley said that request fell on deaf ears by the federal agency responsible for environmental studies. “We will be forced to resort to alternative measures if Canada and Ontario continue to ignore the First Nations
that are being impacted by Ring of Fire developments,” Wesley said. “We want development, but we also want to make sure that our lands, waters, wildlife, and our way of life are not destroyed in the process.” Wesley did not say what those alternative measures would be, but it’s the government that is forcing the communities to come up with a plan of action. “They are not listening to us or consulting us in a meaningful way, and they are certainly not accommodating us,” Wesley said. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) announced Oct. 17 that it is moving forward with a Comprehensive Study of Cliffs’ planned project. In May, Cliffs submitted its project description to the agency, initiating the action. The move comes even though the Matawa communities, for several months, have called for a Joint Review Panel envi-
ronmental assessment, a more thorough process involving the federal and provincial governments. “The joint panel is more detailed, and we First Nations are effectively involved in the process, whereas the comprehensive study is limited,” said Chief Cornelius Wabasse of Webequie.
“They are not listening to us or consulting us in a meaningful way.”
– Roger Wesley
Wabasse said Matawa wants the joint review process because of concerns with environmental impacts the development will have on First Nation traditional territory. “The land over there is all marsh
and they are talking about an open pit mine,” Wabasse said. The Matawa chiefs feel the government’s approach to development will slowly destroy their traditional way of life, extinguish their treaty rights and destroy their homelands and their children’s future. Kim Jorgenson, environmental assessment officer for the Matawa Four Rivers Environmental Services Group, said the joint review process is the best option to ensure more opportunity for public participation, allowing for oral hearings in First Nation communities. “Ideally a new process would be developed to address all the potential environmental impacts from all proposed developments in the Ring of Fire area, but for now a Joint Review Panel is the most appropriate (environmental assessment) for these projects,” Jorgensen said. The project, outlined in Cliffs’
description filed with the CEAA, consists of an open pit/underground mine, an ore processing facility, a transportation corridor and a refining facility. The predicted rate of extracting minerals for the proposed 30-year life of the mine is at a rate of 6,000 to 12,000 tonnes per day. The transportation corridor includes a north-south all-season road from Aroland First Nation to the mine site east of Webequie. Jorgensen said the roads proposed in the Cliffs project would cross about 100 bodies of water, including three major rivers. “The Cliffs project will re-route three waterways and drain several ponds at the mine site,” Jorgenson said. “These activities will definitely impact fish habitat and wildlife in the area.” see CONCERNS page 3

I want my young people to be trained.” Naicatchewenin Chief Wayne Smith said the partnership would fulfill many of his community’s economic development goals. “We’re hoping it’s going to
bring a lot of opportunities for our community members – to build capacity, to train them in the security area,” Smith said. “Once they are trained, it’s going to give them the opportunity to utilize their skills in other areas, not only specifically to the mining area, they can take that trade and skill to other areas.” Although Naicatchewenin currently does not have any community members on board with Synterra, there are a number of community members who are interested in the security field. “Together, I feel we can form a mutually beneficial relationship,” said Scott McIntosh,
president of Canadian Security Management/Canadian Mine Security. “We have our own training officers that can take a security officer from little to no knowledge, as long as they have the core skills to be able to learn, to training them in-house to be a premium security officer at mine sites or energy projects or construction sites.” Synterra will be offering a variety of services, including remote site security officer programs, security consulting, security surveys/audits, security plan implementation, premium security officer programs, patrol services, physical security measures and corporate investigations.

Concerns mount in Ring of Fire from page 1 Marten Falls Chief Eli Moonias said government-to-government dialogue is needed to deal with the ongoing frustrations of Matawa leaders. “We need the Ontario premier and the prime minister to intervene and come to the table,” he said. “Visits from junior ministerial representatives telling us what is happening instead of asking us how we want to participate is not consultation or accommodation.” Moonias is perturbed by the CEAA’s public invitation to comment on the proposed project. He said the CEAA ad features a map of northern Ontario that makes it look like no one lives near the Ring of Fire projects. “The map didn’t have a single First Nation community on it,” he said. “We aren’t even on their radar. That is offensive to our people. That is exactly the way government views the people who live where these developments are happening, like we don’t exist.” Despite the concerns of area First Nations, Cliffs said it has a two-fold approach to meeting the environmental requirements of the federal and provincial governments. While the CEAA is doing their study, Cliffs Cliffs will be conducting its own study following provincial guidelines set out in the Ontario
Rick Garrick/Wawatay News
Marten Falls Chief Eli Moonias speaks about Matawa’s concerns with the environmental assessment process for Cliffs Natural Resources’ chromite mine development plans in the Ring of Fire during an Oct. 21 press conference in Thunder Bay. Environmental Assessment Act. Their approach will look at the different components of the project as a whole instead of in individual parts. Patricia Persico, Cliffs’ senior manager of global communications, said in the coming months Cliffs will engage with First Nations and Métis communities and other interested parties to get feedback on the project. Persico said Cliffs expects to complete and submit its report by late 2012. Meanwhile, the Ministry of
Northern Development and Mines said it is taking Matawa’s concerns very seriously and will be working with the Ministry of the Environment and the CEAA to clarify next steps. “We want Aboriginal communities to share in the economic benefits of natural resource development,” said Rick Winston, senior communications officer with MNDM in the email. In the end, Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Stan Beardy said the Matawa chiefs want to ensure there is a future
for upcoming generations. “They are talking about our homelands and how they want to see those protected but at the same time they are talking about creating an economic base,” Beardy said about Matawa’s leaders. “What they are calling for is a joint panel that would allow the community people, the rights holders, to have meaningful input into the assessment. Right now they are being denied that right. There is a tendency to fast track the project just to get the precious metals out of there.”
Beardy said other NAN communities are also concerned about the situation in the Ring of Fire. “If there is going to be development, it’s the First Nations people who live there that have to have a major say in how that happens when it happens or if it happens,” he said. “If the environment is damaged, it will impact the people living there now and in the future. You are talking about swamp and water everywhere; if there is a leak somewhere within the project, it is going to affect the whole
northwestern Ontario half of NAN.” Aroland Chief Sonny Gagnon agrees. “The area being affected is among one of the largest groups of intact wetlands in the world,” Gagnon said. “These Ring of Fire developments are going to impact everyone in the region, one way or another, but especially the First Nations near these developments. These are First Nation homelands and we need the best (environmental assessment) process out there to protect them.”
KI, province Mushkegowuk outraged by lack of participation in Ring of Fire agree to meet Rick Garrick
Wawatay News
Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) will be meeting with the Ontario government to discuss God’s Lake Resources Inc.’s mineral exploration activities in the community’s traditional territory. John Cutfeet, a spokesman for KI, said the province has to explain why the company was granted access into its territory through the government’s permitting process. “The meeting has to begin to address the fact that those permits were put in place without due process, proper consultation and making KI aware that this was happening.” Cutfeet said Oct. 20. “We’re trying to find a date where we can discuss this in an open manner with Ontario.” A Ministry of Northern Development and Mines spokesman said ministry staff have accepted an invitation to visit KI in the near future to discuss areas of mutual interest. Rick Winston, senior communications officer with MNDM, said his ministry encourages mineral exploration and development in a manner consistent with the recognition of existing Aboriginal and treaty rights, including the duty to consult. “Since 1999, First Nations and industry have signed more than 80 mineral development benefit agreements, many of which identify economicrelated benefits that support
First Nations participation in Ontario’s mineral sector,” Winston said. God’s Lake Resources president and chief executive officer Eduard Ludwig said his company would not be doing any further activity on the old gold mine site until they see the outcome of the meeting. “I’m pleased for KI that they finally got their panel discussion with the Ontario government,” Ludwig said Oct. 21. God’s Lake, a junior gold exploration company based out of Toronto, Ont., has done a preliminary inspection of an old mine site, about 410 kilometres north of Red Lake, Ont., an area KI said is in its traditional territory. But Ludwig said his company has not done any formal exploration at the site. “We haven’t even come up with a first phase,” Ludwig said. Ludwig also walked around the old mine site to verify data from previous holders of the mine site and to take soil samples. Ludwig said he wants the community and Ontario to form a consultation process that both his company and KI can work with. “We would like to still speak with KI,” Ludwig said. “Our door is open at anytime to engage in some sort of consultation process.” KI issued an eviction notice to God’s Lake Resources Sept. 28 when the community discovered the company had ignored community warnings.

Mushkegowuk First Nations say their concerns are being ignored with the recent announcement that an environmental study of proposed mines in the Ring of Fire won’t allow First Nations to fully participate. Mushkegowuk Council said the projects in the Ring of Fire in the James Bay lowlands, are at the head of two major river systems, the Attawapiskat River and Ekwan River, which flow into Mushekgowuk territory. One of the projects headed by Cliffs Natural Resources is now under a comprehensive environmental assessment,
announced Oct. 17 by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (see related story). But Mushkegowuk expected more. “I am extremely disappointed at the total lack of respect shown by the federal government and Cliffs to the desires of the Mushkegowuk leadership,” said Grand Chief Stan Louttit of Mushkegowuk Council. Louttit wrote to the federal government and provincial ministers in July calling on both governments to work together with the Mushkegowuk First Nations to establish a joint environmental study with the First Nations in order to include everyone’s concerns in the min-
ing planning. The joint review includes a study by both federal and provincial governments. Louttit said neither government responded to his letters. Mushkegowuk leaders are worried people will be unable to eat fish or drink water from the rivers they depend on because of run-off from the proposed mines. “The proposed mines will be extremely large mines operating at the headwaters of two of the last major undeveloped rivers in Ontario,” said Chief Theresa Spence of Attawapiskat First Nation. “The proposed mines will create some employment, but we do not know for whom … but there will be sig-
nificant and long term impacts on our families, communities, economy and culture.” Mushkegowuk leaders said they support the Matawa First Nations recently declared action of withdrawing support for development in the Ring of Fire as their demands for a joint environmental assessment were ignored as well. “If government and the mining sector do not want to work with us, there will be no mining activity in the Ring of Fire or elsewhere,” Louttit said. Mushkegowuk Council represents seven First Nation communities in the western James Bay area of northeastern Ontario.
Your views from wawataynews.ca Leaders need to protect our future Re: Ring of Fire office now open I’m sorry but where are the legal guardians of our mother earth? The leaders should be protecting our land and our waters. Money talks and our future are in jeopardy ... long live corruption that comes with money Anonymous ‘Who’s next?’ Re: Arthur Moore joins Cliffs Most of the People that are gone to work for Cliffs are former chiefs of First Nation communities. Cliffs knows how to best get inside information on First Nations especially their vulnerabilities. First it was former Chief Nolan, former Chief Jacob, now former Chief Moore. Gaboury is a former CEO of a corporation in Attawapiskat and former CEO of Five Nations Energy. Who’s next? Look out People, our own People are going to sells us out! Concerned Citizen Staking claims Re: KI evicts mining company from traditional lands Why hasn’t KI gone out and staked all of these sites? Even though these are sacred or traditional lands, why not just do it rather than pay lawyers and so-called experts hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in fees and all the good/bad press that goes along with it.

Commentary
Mrs. Fricke and the bullies Richard Wagamese One Native Life
I
n 1966, I was eleven years old. My adopted family moved that summer to a rented farmhouse in Bruce County in southwestern Ontario. I remember standing on the porch for the first time, seeing the empty fields around me and feeling lost and scared, and as empty as them. My teacher that year was Mrs. Lorraine Fricke. She was an older woman and she looked grandmotherly to me. Mrs. Fricke seemed to know me. I remember that clearly. When she saw me enter her classroom that first day she walked right over, smiled, and led me to a seat to the right of her big wooden desk in the front row beside the window.
I walked to the bully’s desk at the back of the room with the other four all around him. No one said a word. “So you can look out at the trees,” she said. There was a bully in that class. His family owned the jewellry store in town. He was also a hockey star. In the small town ethos of Ontario, a hockey star was a big thing and he was made much of, and treated as special. Like all bullies he reveled in his status and used it to intimidate the kids around him. There was another kid in my class named Dennis Edwards. Dennis was short, with big ears and a round face, and he struggled to keep up with the work. Dennis used wacky, offbeat humour to try and wrest some acceptance from the rest of us. I found him funny, and something about the fact that he struggled so hard to fit in, resonated with me. But bullies always find cohorts. When I showed myself to be a bright student, and Dennis showed his lack of quickness, the bully targeted the both of us for attack. At first it was the usual name-calling, and spit-balling in class. Then it was tripping in the hallways and having balls bounced off our heads at recess and lunch hours. Then, it grew to punches on the shoulders
and slaps on the back of the head. Then they attacked Dennis Edwards. It started as a shoving match. The bully took umbrage at Dennis playing hopscotch with the girls. He called him a sissy. Then he pushed him and Dennis pushed back. The rest of the pack descended on him. I was walking in the playing field and didn’t see it happen. All I saw was Dennis’s bleeding nose and tears when the bell rang. I was angry at that. Dennis had become my only friend in class and I felt like I needed to stand up for him, to defend him, to make things right. Mrs. Fricke asked me to do a problem on the board. As I stood there with my back toward the room, I heard them grunting and talking like movie Indians, and then an eraser hit me in the head. I remember turning, picking it up and looking at it my palm. Then, I walked to the bully’s desk at the back of the room with the other four all around him. No one said a word, not even Mrs. Fricke. I put the eraser down on his desk. He sneered at me. When he stood up, the rest of them stood too. I stood there and looked at the five of them in the silence of that room and felt heat in my cheeks. “I’m not afraid of you,” was all I said. They laughed and catcalled when I walked back to my seat but they never bothered me or Dennis again. After school, Mrs. Fricke asked me to stay a minute longer before I caught the bus. She had something for me, she said. When all the kids had gone she handed me a picture of Martin Luther King. She explained that he was a man of courage and a man of peace, and that what I had shown in class that day exemplified everything Rev. King stood for. Then she hugged me. Well, I read everything I could about Martin Luther King after that, and I became the best student I could for Mrs. Fricke. I did extra work, I helped neaten the room, and I showed her the stories and poems I was beginning to write. Mrs. Fricke took the time to ask me questions. When I showed a lack of knowledge about my people and my heritage she brought me books to read, and discussed them with me. I responded to that by getting A’s and B’s on my first report card. When I read it on the bus on the way home, Mrs. Fricke had written in the space for the teacher’s comments, “Richard is a very honourable boy.” I never forgot that.

North Spirit Lake, 1984.
We may not be alone in the universe Xavier Kataquapit Under the northern sky
I
was always curious about the heavens when I was a kid growing up in Attawapiskat. My brother Joe often joined me to stare up at the night sky. Joe and I learned from an early age what many of the constellations were, where they sat in the sky and the movement of the planets. As a matter of fact, his interest was so great that he named his first son after the constellation Orion. Orion refers to a hunter in Greek mythology. By the time we were teenagers, Joe and I could point up to the starry sky and pick out most of the constellations. We also had a good understanding of the planets in our solar system. Inevitably as we continued over the years to view the night sky with great curiosity,
it occurred to us of course that there could be life and perhaps intelligent life out there somewhere. There is an Ojibway and Cree legend that describes how people originally occupied a sky world. These first people were lowered into our current world through some kind of opening or vortex. Greek, Roman and even Christian legends and stories refer to spirits, angels, demons and beings and gods that came out of the sky. I was fortunate recently to sit in on a lecture by Dr. Kevin R. Grazier, who has worked for the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, conducted his doctoral research on planetary physics at UCLA and served as a science adviser for many movies and television productions. In his presentation, I learned that a lot has been accomplished in tracking the possibility of life outside our planet. And scientists are using Earth as a model to begin their search. Researchers believe that since we have an abundant supply of water on our planet and plenty of life appears in it, then water may be necessary in propagating new life in other
parts of the universe. Water originates in the universe as a byproduct of star formation. Water travels through space as heavily condensed ice.
Scientists recently discovered that life does occur and flourish in the deepest part of our own oceans where there is no sunlight. As these massive chunks of ice come close to solar systems and planets, they become comets. When our planet was being formed, countless numbers of comets slammed into Earth and delivered the water in our oceans over millions of years. Water occurs in many places in the universe because of this phenomenon but it is rare to see it as a liquid, which is critical for the development of life. The whole concept of Martians and life on Mars recently has turned out to hold some
potential. Although the planet appears to be bone dry and hostile in many ways, it may have had water once and currently has polar ice caps as well as evidence of underground water. With this news from the good Dr. Grazier, I have a renewed interest in viewing the red planet through my telescope. I also learned that there is a possibility of life on one of the moons of Jupiter known as Europa. The moon is covered in a thick layer of ice that may harbour an ocean. Scientists recently discovered that life does occur and flourish in the deepest part of our own oceans where there is no sunlight. It was originally believed that life requires sunlight in order to develop. This new information about life without sunlight opens up the possibility of extraterrestrial life on planets and moons like Europa. Now just imagine the infinite number of possibilities there are in our own galaxy and in the millions of other galaxies in our universe. www.underthenorthernsky.com

have worked for years to hone their skills and expertise, and are reluctant to stop entirely. If this sounds like you, take transition steps before abruptly stopping work. Begin to transfer responsibilities several months or even years in advance, or move toward part-time or consulting roles. Many people genuinely enjoy their careers, and are reluctant to give up such a fulfilling part of life. If this might be you, parttime and consulting work is an option that can take you further into retirement.

There is a direct link between a person’s social capital – that is, their level of civic participation and sense of cooperation in the community – and their perceptions of health, according to a 2008 Statistics Canada study. Those who felt more connected to their communities had increased self-esteem and a brighter outlook, positively impacting their physical health, and/or were taking up healthy habits like exercise and smoking less. The highest social capital rates were found among those over age 65 – 72 per cent of whom felt a strong sense of community.
If increasing your community involvement is important to you, and you don’t know where to begin, first consider an organization or organizations you’d like to support and arrange to meet with the volunteer coordinator, who can help you find an appropriate position for the amount of time you’d like to commit and the skills and experience you bring to the organization. Staying fit. Without the demands of full-time work – or the “too busy to exercise” excuse – many retirees find new time to commit to healthrelated goals. It’s important to stay active in your golden years, not only for the short- and longterm physical benefits that exercise provides, but for the social and mental benefits as well. Older adults should exercise 30-60 minutes a day, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. That doesn’t have to mean intensive cardio-busting workouts, but almost anything physical: stretching when you wake up in the morning and before bed, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or walking to the store instead of taking the car. Talk to your doctor in advance of starting any new physical activity regime. Finally, find work/life balance. Many people who approach retirement find that their work is their life – or they

As a very young man I began working in the political field by working as an assistant to a federal member of parliament who subsequently became a cabinet minister during the time of Pierre Trudeau’s prime minister-ship in the late 60s and 70s. In fact I probably worked in one of the first constituency offices, and that’s where I really decided how important it was for politicians to help our constituents. So when I decided in 1995 to seek political office myself I saw it as a natural extension to my political background, but one that also gave me an opportunity to strongly fight for the best interests of my constituents and try and make the world a better place. You’ve travelled all across northern Ontario. Where are the hidden gems most people don’t see? Well, northern Ontario is just an extraordinary part of the province. It has so many beautiful parts to it. There are so many examples it is almost impossible to start. But certainly in my own backyard is Ouimet Canyon, a beautiful spot about a 45 minute drive from Thunder Bay. Kakabeka Falls is something we always take our visitors to see. And certainly going further north, I’ve had the privilege of travelling further north as well, it’s a unique and gorgeous part of the world. I think all northerners take great pride in coming from the north and I think why you tend to see northern representatives who are so passionate about our part of the province. When you look at the Ontario government to First Nation relationship, how in your view should that relationship be defined? I can certainly speak on behalf of myself and the opportunity I’ve had to work to with the Aboriginal leadership and Aboriginal communities all across northern Ontario. What it’s very much about is building respect and trust. Obviously there’s a long history in terms of the relationship between our First Nations, our Métis Nation and governments, and I’ve worked very hard to build that respect and trust. I think our government has done that exact same thing. There’s no question what I see are extraordinary opportunities in northern Ontario for economic development and for improvements in terms of the social realities of our communities, particularly those First Nation communities that have not always benefited from those economic development projects. I think I see a real change in that. I really do believe that many of these projects, almost all of them, won’t go forward unless we
Michael Gravelle, Liberal MPP for Thunder BaySuperior North and Minister of Natural Resources. do see benefits to First Nations, and I’ve worked hard alongside many of the chiefs and the Elders to help realize that goal. You had, some would say, a tough job of bringing in the Mining Act during the last term. What are your thoughts on how that was received and what advice do you have for your colleague as he tries to bring in phases two and three? I certainly recall very much when I was asked to modernize the Mining Act by the premier, it was one of the first things he asked me to do four years ago when I became minister of Northern Development and Mines. What seemed incredibly important was that we needed to take old legislation and have it reflect 21st century values. Those include the values of making sure that First Nation communities are able to benefit from the mining resources that come to their communities. At the same time the challenge was to make sure that we maintained a positive investment climate in the province of Ontario. We worked extraordinarily closely with the Aboriginal communities, and we spent, I think, an unprecedented amount of time working together on trying to advance and modernize the Mining Act while trying to maintain the positive investment climate that was so vital to future progress in the mining sector. I wouldn’t say it ended up being a perfect piece of legislation, but we moved the yardsticks forward. There still is obviously work to do, but we changed how the Mining Act reflected those values with the work that we did and the consultation we did. And I certainly continue to work in that vein with the leadership and with the communities and I think it’s very clear that Minister (Rick) Bartolucci will do exactly the same. The Far North Act, some would say another vital piece of legislation. Another tough one, also, to bring in. How important is it to get land use plans in northern Ontario completed as we go forward with so many things going on? Certainly I’m looking forward to having significant discussions, if not consultations with the First Nation leadership related to the Far North Act. But I think a piece of legislation that ultimately affords a First Nation the opportunity to determine where they want to see development and where they want to see protection, to me is a very positive way to start. continued on next page

Michael Gravelle, minister of Natural Resources, right, helps to open a community complex in Long Lake #58 with Chief Veronica Waboose. At the time, Gravelle served as minister of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry. After the recent election, he was shifted to the Natural Resources portfolio. When I’m meeting with the chiefs and the Elders in various communities, they want to be able to determine what is best for their own community. The land use planning process in that sense is an unprecedented one. It’s certainly the largest land use planning process in the history of the province. So I’m eager to carry on those discussions. There are some land use plans that have been completed in the Far North, I think Cat Lake and Slate Falls have completed them and there are others that are very deeply engaged. I realize that there are other discussions that need to go on and certainly strong positions being expressed by First Nations in terms of the decisions that are being made. But again, I do believe that to have this opportunity for the First Nations to determine what is the best use for their communities and their traditional lands is in and of itself a good thing. What did you see as your biggest accomplishment as Minister of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry? I think it would be fair to say it was the modernized Mining Act. We did take a piece of legislation that had not been updated for a significant number of years. We did bring it forward. In the preamble it recognizes Aboriginal and treaty rights. We had a form of consultation that was unprecedented. Again, while no piece of legislation is perfect, I think we really did advance the relationship between First Nations and the industry. And what we’re seeing, despite some of the challenges that are out there with some communities working with mining companies, what we’re also seeing is an increase in the number of memorandums of understanding and agreements put in place between communities and mining companies and other forestry companies as well. So probably if I’m asked the question, the fact that we were able to modernize the Mining Act would be the thing I’m most proud of. Now you’re shifting to the Ministry of Natural Resources. How do you view that shift? And how does that position allow you to advance all these issues? Well, I’m excited about it. Certainly the premier has made it very clear to all the ministers and members of the government that our priority is going to be the creation of jobs and economic development. I think the Ministry of Natural Resources, particularly now that I’ve carried forestry with me into this portfolio, is going to give
us an opportunity to see those jobs and that economic development as a very important part of our ministry. First of all I’m just honoured to be invited back into the cabinet. That’s a very special privilege. But also to be put into a ministry that has such significance all across the province of Ontario, and obviously incredibly important to northerners, is a privilege I’m delighted to have and I’m going to work very hard to move forward in a positive way.

– Michael Gravelle
You mentioned the opportunities that you see for First Nation people going forward. Give us a couple examples of where those opportunities may lay. I do think that when one looks at the Ring of Fire development, what is very clear to me is that in order for this development to move forward in a positive way the First Nations, particularly those that are most impacted by this development, need to see the benefits. While I think there will be challenges all along the process, that is now something that is pretty much recognized by everyone. For a project like this to go forward, it needs to go forward with the knowledge that indeed the First Nations will see benefits not just in the short term but in the long term. And that will make a huge difference for their communities and their young people in the future. That’s clearly how things may have changed over the last ten years, and perhaps there’s a whole different mindset and understanding of how important it is that these benefits need to be clearly understood by the community and the First Nations themselves. On that basis I think we have the opportunity to see a tremendous economic development opportunities for a project like this. There’s a lot of work to do and there will always be, but certainly from my perspective as the new minister of Natural Resources I am very excited to be in a position to continue work on those kinds of opportunities for the north in particular, and the province as a whole.

over mining in the Far North was necessary. The previous Ontario Mining Act, in place since the 1870s, basically gave mining and exploration companies free entry to the land without any consultation with local people. The grand chief says under
the new Mining Act nothing has changed and there still remains a perception by industry that all land outside of reservations is free game for mining. But representatives from environmental groups EcoJustice and Mining Watch Canada, while agreeing that Aboriginal people still do not have appropriate input, say the new Mining Act is a good start towards what could be a fair and equitable system. Justin Duncan of EcoJustice co-wrote a report before Ontario’s Mining Act was created calling on the government to ensure that land owners and Aboriginal groups gave consent to mining companies before exploration and production occurred. Duncan said that the Mining Act does set parameters to address those questions. But he cautioned that until regulations set out what mining companies are expected to do, it is impossible to tell if the act has gone far enough. “There are all these pieces still up in the air,” Duncan said. “I don’t think anybody knows what it is going to look like. And unfortunately the current act does not impact on the ground yet – so it is basically the same system with the same uncertainty as existed before.” Duncan added that for the Mining Act to be successful a permitting system and framework for consultations between industry and First Nations need to be in place.
The Mining Act, explained The Ontario Mining Act passed through legislature in October 2009. Gravelle, the minister who introduced the act and steered it through its initial consultation periods, has repeatedly called the act a balance between the mining industry – a major player in the Ontario economy with roughly $10 billion in production, including over $800 million in exploration – and giving First Nation communities the ability
to make decisions on their own land. “We want to find that balance that would be appropriate ... to properly respect the needs of First Nations communities to make their own decisions,” Gravelle told the Northern Miner earlier this year.
“We never gave up the right to govern ourselves. As a sovereign state we still maintain that right.” – Stan Beardy
Phase one of the act has already come into play. It focuses on land owner issues in southern Ontario and modernizing existing permitting applications, but does include the claim that “engaging Aboriginal communities early and throughout the exploration process is essential.” Yet as Ramsay Hart of Mining Watch Canada explained, there is no stipulation that the engagement between industry and First Nations has to amount to anything. For example Hart pointed to the KI dispute with God’s Lake Resources in late September, where God’s Lake sent letters to KI Chief Donny Morris and without any reply assumed it had fulfilled its obligation to consult. Phase two of the act, expected to be implemented over the next two years, is where it gets interesting for First Nation communities. This phase includes a clause where First Nation communities can withdraw land from development by showing it is a site of cultural or spiritual significance, although criteria for showing either has not yet been outlined. It also sets up a dispute resolution committee to assist when consultation between industry and First Nations fails, and outlines

Chris Hodgson, president of the Ontario Mining Association (OMA), said he believes the Mining Act contains some good measures to help industry, government and First Nations move forward on many of the issues facing the North. The biggest advantage for the region, he said, is that most mining companies have excellent relationships with First Nations. But he acknowledged that all players have to do much more to show First Nations the benefit of having a mining operation in their area. “We have our work cut out for us, between industry and government, to show local communities that they’ll benefit from these projects,” Hodgson said. One way to do that, the OMA believes, is to increase the share of tax revenues from mining operations that flow to local communities affected by a mine. see next page

a process where the government examines all mining exploration plans to determine whether consultation with Aboriginal groups is necessary. One problem with those clauses for First Nation groups is that the minister of Northern Development and Mines has the ability to override all decisions made under them. But a bigger issue for NAN’s grand chief is that Ontario is not recognizing First Nation treaty rights to make unilateral decisions on what happens on traditional lands. “Consultation and accommodation is a minimum,” Beardy said. “We’re not against resource development, but Aboriginal rights under the Canadian Constitution mean we are a sovereign nation with a legal right to be properly consulted before anybody goes onto our land.”

If Beardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments last week are any indication, that task is going to be daunting. For as the OMA knows well, the global demand for Ontario minerals has never been higher.

Notice of Environmental Assessment Planning and Engagement For the Cliffs Chromite Project in Northern Ontario Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., through its subsidiaries and affiliates (Cliffs), is proposing to develop the Black Thor deposit in the McFaulds Lake area in Northern Ontario (see Figure below), also known as the Cliffs Chromite Project (the Project). This Notice is to inform you that Cliffs is initiating an environmental assessment (EA) for this proposed Project. The Project consists of extracting and processing chromite ore from the Black Thor deposit and transporting it to a Ferrochrome Production Facility (FPF). The FPF will produce a product used by stainless steel manufacturers worldwide. The Project consists of four interrelated and key components:

The Process Cliffs’ Project (all four Project components) will require an EA under the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). Though mining development projects by themselves are not subject to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA), Cliffs has entered into a Voluntary Agreement with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to subject the Mine Site, Ore Processing Facility, and Integrated Transportation System in their entirety to the Ontario EAA. Cliffs is working with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency to meet both governments’ requirements in a single coordinated EA process. Under the Ontario EAA, Cliffs is responsible for preparing a Terms of Reference (ToR) which will be submitted to the MOE for approval. The ToR sets out the framework for the planning and decision-making process to be followed by Cliffs during the preparation of the EA. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency will seek input on the federal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines. The federal EIS Guidelines identify the potential effects to be addressed and information requirements for the preparation of the EIS (EA Report) pursuant to the CEAA. The purpose of the ToR and federal EIS Guidelines documents are to identify the nature, scope and extent of the information to be addressed in the preparation of Cliffs’ EIS (EA Report) for the Project. Cliffs intends to develop a single coordinated EIS (EA Report) to fulfill both the provincial and federal EA requirements that will examine the potential environmental effects, including cumulative effects, associated with the Project construction, operation, modification, decommissioning (closure) and post-closure, and how Cliffs will evaluate the significance of any such effects. Want to Get Involved? While there will be multiple opportunities for interested persons to participate throughout the EA process, participation of interested persons during the preparation and finalization of the ToR is a key part of the process. We want to hear your input. Community members, government agencies and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the planning process by attending future engagement events (e.g., Open Houses) or contacting representatives from Cliffs directly with comments or questions. Cliffs will be contacting your community leaders in the near future to organize the first in a series of Open Houses in or near your community. When dates are finalized, Open Houses will be advertised in local newspapers and on local radio stations, through our Project website, and by telephone and/or e-mail. These Open Houses will be the first in a series of opportunities for interested persons to participate. You are encouraged to attend and help us identify issues, interests or ideas to be addressed during the EA. Additional opportunities to participate will be provided throughout the coordinated EA process and will be advertised accordingly. In addition to attending Open Houses, you are invited to submit your comments on the ToR through the Project website www. cliffsnaturalresources.com. Simply click on the Cliffs’ Northern Ontario Chromite Project information link located on the Homepage. You may also mail, email or fax your comments to the Project contacts provided below.

Then the team advanced to the Western Conference finals in the 1993 playoffs. “That was a fun time,” he said. “That damn Gretzky.” Leaf fans know he is referring to Wayne Gretzky’s infamous high stick on Leafs favourite Doug Gilmour, which did not garner a penalty. The incident happened during the conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings. The Leafs went on to lose the series as the Kings advanced to the Stanley Cup Final against the Canadiens. “I’m a crazy Leafs fan,” he said. “Right now, I’m talking to you wearing my Leafs jersey and hat. Also, I have a Leaf poster in my office, I have eight jerseys and three Leaf caps.” There is one thing, however, he is missing. “I’ve never found a Leaf cell phone cover,” he said. “I’ve looked around in Toronto, Timmins, Thunder Bay, everywhere. Can never find one.” He spreads his love of the Leafs whenever he can. During the summer, he and his wife
made dinner and invited other family members to come over, “but only if you wear the blueand-white” he instructed them. Sure enough, they did. On Sept. 8, he posted a video on his Facebook profile of a flag-raising ceremony outside his house, where his son raised a Leaf flag on a flagpole outside their home with his daughter singing the National Anthem in Cree.
“I’ve been a Leaf since forever. Even in the dark days.”
– Brent Edwards
“Good luck, Leafs! We are in the playoffs this year!” Edwards declared in the video. Edwards relishes the chance to show off his love for the blueand-white. “I love it when people stare at me in my Leaf gear and go ‘Ah, typical Leaf fan,’” he said. “I do get a lot of ragging from other people (for being a Leaf fan), and I’ll ask if they’re a Canadiens fan, and 99 per cent of the time, they are.” Edwards has seen two Leaf games in his lifetime: once in 1999 when they played the Anaheim Ducks and then last spring when they played their last game of the season against the Carolina Hurricanes. He had been planning to attend this year’s season opener since August when his aunt Lucie and her partner Brad Dobson bought tickets.

The passion was there and it was great to be a part of it.” They took their seats six rows back from ice level. “The suckiest part was sitting behind (Canadiens goaltender Carey) Price,” he said. He found himself surrounded by Habs fans, but this did not stifle his spirit. After the introduction of the Leafs opening line-up (in which he described the atmosphere “amazing”), he joined other Leaf fans in booing
the Canadien players as they took the ice. After a scoreless first period, the Leafs scored within the first minute of the second period. However, Edwards was not at his seat. “I was still in the line-up to go to the washroom,” he said, laughing. “And I heard the horn and thought dammit. We started yelling away in the washroom.” He didn’t miss the next goal in the third period, however, when Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf fired a slap shot past Price. “It was amazing. I was dancing in front of these Canadiens fans, going ‘Yeah, yeah.’” The Leafs went on to win 2-0. After the final buzzer sounded, Edwards bolted from his seat. When watching the Leafs at home on LeafsTV, he noticed the camera’s placement where fans would gather during the
station’s post-game show. “I knew where it was and ran for it,” he recalls, laughing. “There was a lineup and the cameraman saw me in my Leaf gear, cheering. He just smiled and shook his head.”
“It was amazing to see all the Leaf fans. The passion was there and it was great to be a part of it.”
– Brent Edwards
Wearing two Leaf toques on his hands, which were given away during the game, a furry Leafs hat, and his jersey, he proceeded to jump up and down in front of the camera as other Leaf fans gathered during the show.
At home, friends and family caught glimpses of Edwards jumping just as the show cut to a commercial. One friend recorded the show, took a screenshot and posted a photo of an excited, cheering Edwards, front and centre on national television, on Facebook. “Quite a few people saw me,” he said. “Including my daughter and my babysitter.” Edwards said he is grateful to have been able to attend the game. “A lot of thanks to Lucie and Brad Dobson for getting the tickets,” he said. “And to my babysitter Carol for looking after my kids.” As for catching another Leafs game. “I plan to go again, for sure,” he said. “But I don’t know when. Probably try to get on TV again.”

Shoal Lake #39 members stage a protest in June regarding the community’s water rights. The community is now mobilizing at the source of where the city of Winnipeg gets its water at the Shoal Lake watershed.
Shoal Lake #39 members occupy water source Chris Kornacki
Wawatay News
Iskatewizaagegan (Shoal Lake #39) First Nation has mobilized community members at the mouth of the Shoal Lake watershed where the City of Winnipeg gets its water. Community members at the mouth of the lake are creating a presence until they get the respect they deserve, said Shoal Lake chief Eli Mandamin. “And they are determined to stay there until the issue is resolved,” Mandamin said. For more than a century the province of Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg have been granted free access to fresh water running from Iskatewizaagegan traditional territory without proper discussion, consent or compensation to the First Nation, the community claims. Shoal Lake is on both sides of the Ontario and Manitoba borders, with the community residing on the Ontario side and its traditional territory extending into Manitoba. In July, Winnipeg and Manitoba agreed to split the cost of extending Winnipeg’s water and sewage-treatment services and hopes to sell some of these services to neighbouring communities. Iskatewizaagegan asked Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz to postpone their water extension plans but, according to the First Nation, their concerns were ignored. The occupation coincides with a recent four-day, 300-kilometre walk that began in Shoal Lake #39 and ended at the Manitoba Legislature in Winnipeg with a protest for the community’s water rights. The walk began Oct. 3, the anniversary of the signing of Treaty 3 in 1873. There were 30 community members who
participated in the walk and the numbers would reach up to 50 people that would join the walkers briefly in areas along the TransCanada Highway to Winnipeg. The group averaged 50 kilometres a day, reaching the Legislature building Oct. 7. “We stayed at roadside motels along the way. We would not retreat the eagle staffs and the community’s flags from the highway, their presence at all times was a priority on this walk,” Mandamin said. In past years Iskatewizaagegan has staged protests along the TransCanada Highway and at the waterbed on their territory during Canada’s National Day of Action held in June. This year the community decided to walk to Winnipeg because both provincial elections in Ontario and Manitoba were happening at the time. “Both elections were going on and it’s time for the governments to wake up to these issues. The timing was right to finally send a message to the legislative building, the message that had to be delivered was that this was the last of free water they’d be getting from this province,” Mandamin said. Iskatewizaagegan said the community has experienced impacts on their wild rice harvesting and lakeside erosion because of the water extraction. Also, every time the community attempts to undertake development projects that would benefit and improve the lives of its members by growing the community’s economy, the City of Winnipeg raises objections saying development would degrade the water quality. Mining for gold is one of the efforts the community would like to develop, but is unable to. “The strength that Winnipeg and Manitoba has in our territory is too much now,” Mandamin said.
To date the deputy minister in Manitoba has responded to their recent outcry for consultation and compensation and would like to meet with the chief and council. Mandamin said he is in the process of setting up other meetings with Manitoba and is expecting reelected Manitoba premier Greg Selinger to agree to sit down for discussions. “We want a meeting with the premier to put good political will together that will be needed to start a process to deal with the water issue,” he said. “Also, we are asking for (a memorandum of understanding) to be signed to show the political willingness to work with the community.” Mandamin said the community is also doing more legal work to enhance the position that they are taking and to enhance the terms and processes they’re asking for and giving to the province and Winnipeg. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done when you make statements and take a stand like this,” he said. “Our reserve has never signed any agreement, so we still own the waterbed located on our territory. They’ve been flooding us for the past 100 years, if you want to continue flooding us we won’t be overlooked anymore.” The walk to Winnipeg and the recent mobilization at the mouth of the lake are in protest of Manitoba and Winnipeg’s plan to continue extracting water from Iskatewizaagegan’s territory without consent. The community is also asking for $124-million per year for water taken from their territory. “What we’re after in Shoal Lake is what everybody else wants out there in their territories, that is a better equality of life of our kids and our future,” Mandamin said.

Kingfisher Lake’s Henry McKay shot the first moose in his community on the way back home from where he is building a cabin on the land. “It was in the evening just before sundown,” said the National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program worker and former band councillor from 1989-2001. “We didn’t have any knives or axes, but I had a radiophone with me and I called back in the community ... to get my son to come over to bring all the knives and axes and a flashlight. We were three boats all together and not even one of us had a knife or an axe.” McKay didn’t get back to the community until about 10:45 that evening, during the second week of September, after cutting up the medium-sized

moose on the shore about four or five miles from the community across the lake. “I distributed it to those who helped us cut up the meat over there along the shore,” he said. “I also distributed some meat in the community, as far as I could. It wasn’t a big moose.” McKay learned about hunting moose when he was a little boy, but he didn’t shoot a moose until he was a parent with two children. “I used to go with my grandparents camping in the spring and the fall,” McKay said. “I learned the skills from what I saw with my grandfather while out camping and hunting.” His first moose was a 24-point bull he shot while travelling by boat on the Pipestone River about 10-12 miles from Kingfisher Lake. “It was pretty exciting,” McKay said.

Although Sandy Lake’s Kenny Goodwin Jr. hasn’t had much luck hunting moose this fall, he had plenty of luck earlier in the year. “This year I got eight moose all together, starting in the spring,” Goodwin said. “But I did not have any luck this fall.” Goodwin hunted for about two weeks this fall at his camp on the Severn River, which is located about two-and-a-half hours by boat north of the Treaty 5 community near the camps of Sandy Lake Chief Adam Fiddler and Coun. Fabian Crowe. “I was gone for a couple of weeks,” Goodwin said. “I did a

lot of calling during the night and fixing the camp during the day.” But he didn’t get any moose, although one morning after he returned to camp he heard a shot around the point by his father-in-law. “We were out all night calling and we go home and he goes out for his 8 a.m. boat ride and boom, there it is, waiting for him,” Goodwin said. “We can’t say it’s our moose, but we were calling in the same area. Lucky guy, I guess. But we got moose; we had moose meat for lunch.” Goodwin usually uses a standard birch bark moose call when hunting, but other hunters also use a coffee can with a string they rip along the bottom.

“I wish I could go even today,” Goodwin said about his next hunting trip. “It’s nice. There’s only about two inches of snow on the ground. If you go out now, you’ll see where they are walking.” After a successful hunt, Goodwin gives his moose meat away to Elders, friends or whoever asks him for some. He and his hunting partners usually split the moose they shoot equally among themselves. “We make sure everybody gets their equal cut, and then once we get home we give it to our family and then we give away whatever we can,” Goodwin said. “I don’t say no to anybody who wants moose meat. The more people that get it, the

Hunting great this year in Sandy Lake times, but we never really had fire problems. It was mostly just smoke. It was pretty intense sometimes. Sometimes you couldn’t even see five feet in front of you, that’s how bad the smoke was.” Goodwin travelled through some areas for about 10 or 20 minutes along the river system where the forest was completely devastated from forest fires. “I remember telling my brother-in-law Bernie, ‘let’s just turn around now, there’s going to be no moose around, look at it, it’s just black,’” Goodwin said. “And just around the corner, it was just standing right there, and it was black all around, and it was eating whatever it could get, and we got it.” Goodwin even went hunting

Watching people surprise themselves with their writing is a key for the presenter of two recent videoconference writing workshops. “I love meeting people … and seeing people surprise themselves,” said Elizabeth Ruth, the published author, editor and writing teacher from Toronto who presented the Home is Where the Art Is videoconference workshop Oct. 14 through K-Net and KiHS (Keewaytinook Internet High School). “You saw it today – those women surprised themselves with what they had to say. And that makes it worthwhile to me. It’s inspiring to me.” Ruth began writing when she was six or seven years old. “I’ve had other jobs too, of course, I have to make money,” Ruth said. “But it’s a passion for sure. It feels like power to say your truth.” Four women from Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) and one woman from Neskantaga took part in the K-Net workshop, which was hosted from the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Research Institute in Thunder Bay. “I just think writing is healing,” Ruth said. “I write my own stories that does me good, and it does other people good I hope when they hear them.” Ruth emphasized the importance of what people have to say. “Your life experiences give you everything you need to say,” she said. “People need to hear that, because what people hear a lot, especially high school students, is what you have to say doesn’t count. It’s not valuable

Oshki student completes course, delivers baby Rick Garrick

Pic Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michelle Morriseau-Moses brought her newborn baby daughter to her Oct. 14 graduation ceremony at Oshki-Pimache-O-Win Education and Training Institute in Thunder Bay. The Native Early Child Education valedictorian gave birth shortly after completing the five-semester program, which provides students with the knowledge and skills to organize and maintain a safe, stimulating learning environment for young children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really challenging, but the staff were very accommodating,â&#x20AC;? Morriseau-Moses said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was worried about me making it through. My due date was actually the last day of class, so I managed to make it.â&#x20AC;? Morriseau-Moses appreciated the opportunity to study from her home community for most of the program, with only a couple two-week on-campus sessions each semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard, but we had to figure out ways to make time for our studies,â&#x20AC;? MorriseauMoses said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made it, through e-learning, which is classes online in the evening.â&#x20AC;? Morriseau-Moses is planning to find work back in her home community once she completes

Doreen Pichette, who graduated with a 4.0 grade point average (GPA) from the Social Service Worker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Native Specialization program, was awarded the Governing Council Award of Excellence. Six of the seven Social Service Worker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Native Specialization graduates earned honour designations for their high GPAs.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out of high school for about 30 years and I saw this as an opportunity to fulfill something I had wanted to do after I finished high school,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Solomon, valedictorian for the Social Service Worker program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping I can use the skills and knowledge I learned in my job and working for the Aboriginal population of Cochrane.â&#x20AC;? Currently the executive
director at the Ininew Friendship Centre in Cochrane, Solomon has been working for the organization for about 28 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these skills and the theory I learned is going to help when people do come through the friendship centre with various issues they have,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The building had become dilapidated, air quality was a concern, the furnace kept breaking down and its obsolete design required extensive time and money to repair. The entire community rallied to have a new school built McDonald said, adding it was the students who were protesting the loudest about the poor
quality of education in their community. In 2001, a handful of youth marched to Parliament Hill and demanded a new school directly to the minister of Indian Affairs. Nearly a decade later the federal government granted the community $25-million for the project. The new 4,500-square-metre school contains 16 classrooms and can accommodate up to 460 kindergarten to Grade 12 students. It also has an outdoor hockey rink, baseball diamond, multi-purpose track and gymnasium equipped with a stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the principal, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about the new opportunities for the students and the access to more technology,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new era for the community.â&#x20AC;? He said the school is â&#x20AC;&#x153;named after one of our great former chiefs, the late Roy McDonald, who worked tirelessly for our community. Mizhakiiwetung was his spirit name, which means thunderbird. From the air, the school is shaped like an eagle. While the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion is still a couple months away, students prepared to begin classes in the new facility Oct. 24.
