There was a peaceful and poignant demonstration in downtown Hagersville last Thursday afternoon, Feb. 14th. Women men and children from New Credit, Six Nations and Kettle and Stoney Point drummed and sang traditional songs at the main intersection at Main and carrying signs to draw attention to the ongoing problem of unresolved murdered and missing Onkwehon:we women in Canada. It was cold and blustery but that did not dampen the spirit of the demonstration one little bit. During the hour and a half they demonstrated in front of the CIBC Bank, several motorists passing by honked in support and a number of pedestrians acknowledged the missing women as well. One of those carrying a sign was standing for a family member who is one of the missing women. (Photo by Jim Windle)

Six Nations Fire Department at crossroads By Stephanie Dearing OHSWEKEN

Change is in the air, and it's not just spring. Six Nations Fire Chief, Michael Seth, has been doing some out of the box thinking, and will be working with Six Nations Senior Administrative Officer (SAO) Dayle Bomberry to map out the different options that could be the future of the fire department. Seth brought his ideas, and his budget, to the budget meeting held by Elected Council on February 15. Bomberry advised council there are at least three different options to be mapped-out for the fire department. Each

will have an effect on the level of service provided by the department. Seth said he would like to have the fire department become a stand-alone agency, run under the auspices of a Commission, much like the police department. “I don't even know if it's feasible,” he said. He also proposed amalgamating the ambulance service with his department. While those ideas remain to be explored along options such as scrapping the fire department altogether (in favour of contracting services with neighbouring fire departments), Seth asked council to support his budget request of $2.4 million.

If approved, Seth would have a deficit of just over $700,000 for the next fiscal year, which would have to be plugged with monies from the Ontario First Nation Lottery Partnership (OFNLP). That request was not very well-received by Elected Council, as were the changes contained in Seth's budget. The main change Seth is pushing is to make the eight part-time fire fighters fulltime employees and to make all the volunteer firefighters casual part-time employees with a set hourly wage. Volunteer firefighters are paid an honorarium for their time based on a point system, said Seth, and the amount

Montreal - Pushing the parameters of the public policy conversation, this month Policy Options uses the narrative power of photography to try to break the stale discussion of Aboriginal issues. The result is a striking collection of self-interpretation that challenges assumptions about Aboriginal people and shows the possibility of doing the same with public policies. “The reaction to the Idle No More movement saw a retreat into the comfort of familiar views,” says Policy Options editor Bruce Wallace. “We heard the same old arguments from all sides that only reinforced a dismal sense of stalemate,” he said. “If photography can challenge our deeply ingrained assumptions about Aboriginal people, then there should be no barrier to breaking the stagnant paradigm that frames our engagement on Aboriginal policy,” Wallace

says. The articles that accompany the photos try to light that path. Among the writers are Satsan (Herb George), who calls for First Nations people to use the rights they possess to take command of governing themselves; Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond, who describes how the Indian Act leadership has been undone, largely by a backlash against the treatment of Aboriginal women; and Don Drummond, who calls on universities and colleges to do more to educate Aboriginal students and ensure their education translates into good jobs. Elsewhere in the issue, Scott Staring looks at the philosophical underpinnings of Stephen Harper’s foreign policy. Ken Coates and Rick Miner examine ways to improve the correlation between “jobs without people and people without jobs.”

And Craig Alexander writes an appreciation of the recently deceased economist Albert Hirschman, whose warnings against allowing cynicism to curb our quest for better public policy are a philosophical adrenaline shot to our politics. Wallace believes that there are many story-telling mediums that can drive the discussion on public policy. The December-January issue used art to communicate perceptions of the policy issues arising from stem cell science. The photographs in the February issue are a powerful warning against relying on our assumptions, a useful reminder to those with the responsibility to make better public policy. Policy Options will do more of it. The February issue of Policy Options can be downloaded free of charge from the Institute's Web site (www. irpp.org).

Challenging Assumptions about Aboriginal People

Help sought in old picture I.D. Woodland Cultural Centre and Museum Director Paula Whitlow, is seeking the help of Tekawennake readers in identifying the person depicted in an old picture frame dated to around 1870 to 1890, judging by the photographic materials used. The picture was apparently bought at a Caledonia auction in round 1900. The owner wants to donate it to the Museum and believes the subject to be from Six Nations or New Credit, but has no other information to offer about it. If this person is familiar to you, please contact Paula Whitlow at the museum at 519-759-2650. See the ad in this week’s Teka as well regarding sharing your own old photos this Sunday between 2-4 pm at the Woodland Cultural Museum.

paid fluctuates all the time. There is a set pool of money ($3,500) available each month, which is divided between volunteers. Seth said giving the volunteers a flat rate of $20 an hour would give the firefighters a good sense of what to expect financially, and would allow him to ensure each call for assistance is appropriately staffed. Making the part-time firefighters full-time employees would allow Seth to ensure he has a dedicated staff of a minimum of four people available to respond to a call. The number of people required is dictated by the truck, which Seth said needs a minimum of four people to operate. Six Nations currently has eight fire trucks, which would mean to have all four stations properly manned with the minimum number of staff, Seth would need 32 people and a budget of $5 million a year. Seth suggested ways to offset the costs of his department, particularly advocating charging $400 per hour when sent out to assist at car collisions. The fee, he said, would only be charged if the person assisted was found to be re-

Six Nations Fire Chief Michael Seth sponsible for the collision. Seth said the charge is a normal procedure in neighbouring municipalities. Council could also charge a fire inspection fee, he suggested. The idea of charging fees did not sit well with some of the councillors. Seth suggested Six Nations establish a fire fighter training center that would cater to an international clientele. The center would generate revenue, and Seth is intent on pursuing the idea, saying he will run it past the OFFTA later this month. “I have plans sit-

ting on a shelf,” he said. SAO Dayle Bomberry suggested council approve the same budget the fire department has for the current fiscal year, which has a smaller deficit of $213,000. Elected Council deferred a decision on Seth's proposed budget to February 21, when the OFNLP budget will be available for review. The options being considered for the future operation of the fire department are expected to be presented to council in approximately three months time.

Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation met with cynicism among some First Nations leaders By Paola Loriggio

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO _ The surprise resignation of Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan is being met with raised eyebrows among some First Nations leaders, who call it a diversion as aboriginal issues gain momentum on the national stage. Isadore Day, Chief of the Serpent River First Nation in Ontario, said Duncan's decision came at a convenient time for the Conservative government, which is under mounting pressure from aboriginal groups to address treaty rights and other issues.

``It appears he's getting out when the getting's good and that's again being seen as a strategy of proactive disengagement by First Nations leaders,'' he said in a phone interview Saturday. ``This certainly will buy some time for the government, they'll be able to turn around and now say, 'We've got to brief the new minister on these files,''' he said. ``All the while, there may be opportunities that get missed.'' He said many of his counterparts share his concerns, though few are likely to speak out for fear of reprisals. Day initially voiced his

misgivings on Twitter Friday shortlyafter Duncan's announcement, calling the move a ``shell game'' and accusing Ottawa of being ``tactically strategic'' in making Duncan its ``sacrificial lamb.'' Other First Nations groups expressed shock or even sadness at Duncan's departure and said they look forward to working with his replacement, Heritage Minister James Moore, who is temporarily taking over the portfolio. A statement by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs also strongly urged the government to choose the next minister carefully, adding

Canada's indigenous people are ``no longer willing to accept the status quo'' of the Indian Act. A spokeswoman for the group was more vocal on Twitter, however, saying Duncan's resignation appeared to be ``a bit of a diversion tactic.'' The message posted by Sheila North Wilson went on to say: ``Either way, we are affecting (sic) change and I think prayers and songs we sing are helping.'' She said Saturday the comment reflected her own opinion rather than the chiefs. The national chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples expressed sadness on

Duncan's resignation. Betty Ann Lavallee called Duncan an honourable man who was doing his best ``to improve the lives of all Aboriginal Peoples throughout Canada.'' When asked about the minister's decision, a spokesman for the Assembly of First Nations would only say that the organization remains focused on moving ahead with the plans established in last month's talks with the federal government. Day said it will be hard to overcome the loss of momentum stemming from the repeated change in leadership. ``We need to now figure

out how to deal with this and mitigate any impact of not having continuity. This was quite sudden from the minister and now we need to deal with that,'' he said. With the prime minister having publicly committed to a new round of negotiations over treaty issues and landclaims settlements, the leadership of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development is likely to take on a much higher profile in the Conservative government. Duncan announced on Friday he was stepping down after improperly advocating to a tax court on behalf of a constituent.

At least 3,000 deaths linked to Indian residential schools: new research By Colin Perkel The Canadian Press TORONTO At least 3,000 children, including four under the age of 10 found huddled together in frozen embrace, are now known to have died during attendance at Canada's Indian residential schools, according to new unpublished research. While deaths have long been documented as part of the disgraced residential school system, the findings are the result of the first systematic search of government, school and other records. "These are actual confirmed numbers," Alex Maass, research manager with the Missing Children Project, told The Canadian Press from Vancouver. "All of them have primary documentation that indicates that there's been a death, when it occurred, what the circumstances were." The number could rise further as more documents -- especially from government archives -come to light. The largest single killer, by far, was disease. For decades starting in about 1910, tuberculosis was a consistent killer -- in part because of widespread ignorance over how diseases were spread. "The schools were a particular breeding ground for (TB)," Maass said. "Dormitories were incubation wards." The Spanish flu epidemic in 1918-1919 also took a devastating toll on students -- and in some cases staff. For example, in one grim three-month period, the disease killed 20 children at a residential school in Spanish, Ont., the records show. While a statistical analysis has

yet to be done, the records examined over the past few years also show children also died of malnutrition or accidents. Schools consistently burned down, killing students and staff. Drownings or exposure were another cause. In all, about 150,000 First Nations children went through the church-run residential school system, which ran from the 1870s until the 1990s. In many cases, native kids were forced to attend under a deliberate federal policy of "civilizing" Aboriginal Peoples. Many students were physically, mentally and sexually abused. Some committed suicide. Some died fleeing their schools. One heart-breaking incident that drew rare media attention at the time involved the deaths of four boys -- two aged 8 and two aged 9 -- in early January 1937. A Canadian Press report from Vanderhoof, B.C., describes how the four bodies were found frozen together in slush ice on Fraser Lake, barely a kilometre from home. The "capless and lightly clad" boys had left an Indian school on the south end of the lake "apparently intent on trekking home to the Nautley Reserve," the article states. A coroner's inquest later recommended "excessive corporal discipline" of students be "limited." The records reveal the number of deaths only fell off dramatically after the 1950s, although some fatalities occurred into the 1970s. "The question I ask myself is: Would I send my child to a private school where there were even a couple of deaths the previous year without looking at it a little bit more closely?" Maass said. "One wouldn't expect any death rates in private residential schools." In fact, Maass said, student

deaths were so much part of the system, architectural plans for many schools included cemeteries that were laid out in advance of the building. Maass, who has a background in archeology, said researchers had identified 50 burial sites as part of the project. About 500 of the victims remain nameless. Documentation of their deaths was contained in Department of Indian Affairs year-end reports based on information from school

principals. The annual death reports were consistently done until 1917, when they abruptly stopped. "It was obviously a policy not to report them," Maass said. In the 1990s, thousands of victims sued the churches that ran the 140 schools and the Canadian government. A $1.9-billion settlement of the lawsuit in 2007 prompted an apology from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the creation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The research -- carried out under the auspices of the commission -- has involved combing through more than one million government and other records, including nuns' journal entries. The longer-term goal is to make the information available at national research centre.

Archaeology provides “clues to the story of you” By Stephanie Dearing NEW CREDIT

Because the Mississauga lived lightly on the earth, said Paul Racher, addressing an avid audience at the Third Annual Historical Gathering hosted by Mississaugas of the New Credit, it is very difficult to find archeological sites. Racher was one of several guests who came to New Credit to present information during the three-day Historical Gathering that took place at Lloyd S. King school from Wednesday, February 16 to Friday, February 19. “Think about trying to piece together the importance of our culture from our cutlery drawers,” said Racher, describing the difficulties archeologists face when studying people who lived in the past. He said most archeologists gather information from old garbage heaps, and have to try to put together a picture of those people. While the information

gathered about people from the past can be fragmented as a result, archeologists still “learn how people lived, what they did, what they ate,” said Racher. The 12,000 year old “archeological record we find in Ontario ...[is] full of wonderful things,” Racher said. He brought a few artifacts with him, which he allowed everyone to examine. The three-day gathering “is all about gathering up our history and documenting it,” said New Credit elder and historian, Carolyn King. She said anyone who has documented New Credit history, whether through writing, film or other venues, is invited to share their information during the gathering. The gathering was created in order “to understand who we are,” Carolyn said. The conference is held at the school in order to allow the elementary students to participate. The diverse agenda for this year's conference fea-

Traditional teachings were a key part of the conference.

During his hour-long lecture, Racher said there was evidence of the influence of the Mississaugas all over southern Ontario. “Highway 2 and 3 were both trails,” he pointed out, created by the Mississauga and later used

Historical Gathering, which took place last week. “It's really a lot of material compressed into a short time,” said Max King. Family Day saw the students gathered around flint knapper Fred Moerschfelder, who demonstrated both percussive (hitting) and pressure flaking techniques, turning out three different points over the course of a few hours. The fascinated students learned that often the only clue to a site is the very small pieces of flakes created from pressure flaking. Moerschfelder had brought along several samples of flint and obsidian. “It's extremely rare to find a prehistoric point without damage,” he told the students. “It's been used.

Anything I make, there is no

al inheritance. It gives you clues that add to the story of you,” Racher said.

Experts brought for archeological monitor training By Stephanie Dearing NEW CREDIT

All the stops were pulled out for the training of New Credit archeological monitors this year, including a special appearance from Professor Gary Warrick, who studied and excavated the former Mississauga settlement known as Davisville. Offered for the first time last year, the program has not only attracted nearly double the number of students participating than last year, the course was expanded to two weeks. Michael D'Mello, Ontario's Registrar of Cemeteries, will also conduct training for the nearly 20 students, who are settled in at the New Credit Church for their introduction to archaeology. The training wraps up this Friday. New Credit elder and historian Max King said archeologist Paul Racher, known for having found a historic Indigenous village in Kitchener-Waterloo a few years ago, “is the genius behind the training,” while New Credit historian Carolyn King “is the driving force.” Max King said Racher's job was to ensure the students got the information needed to work in the field. Last year's inaugural train-

ing course resulted in six of the ten trainees landing work, either as archeological monitors, excavators or security, said Racher. While success has been achieved, Carolyn King said New Credit wants to expand the training into a 12 week course, that would be offered through Wilfred Laurier University. A meeting between the university, New Credit and the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Tourism was scheduled for Tuesday, February 19, to discuss not only the course, but potential funding for the initiative. The training is intensive, and Carolyn said it was expanded this year to allow students an opportunity to learn history through the annual

use for it.”

And they’re off! - Six Nations elected council plans on creating a horse-racing tourism destination By Stephanie Dearing OHSWEKEN The idea of creating a tourist mecca at Six Nations by building a horse-racing track and a complimentary casino got a nod of support from representatives of the Ontario Harness Horseman's Association (OHHA) recently. Elected Chief William Montour took time out of his busy schedule to attend Elected Council's meeting of the Physical and Eco-

of the development would include the possible construction of a hotel, and/or a golf course. Meeting chair, Elected Councillor Ava Hill (District Two) said this was only one of several options Elected Council has envisioned, but the other options were not brought out for discussion. The OHHA representatives liked what they heard and each of the three pledged to provide assistance to Elected Council

council began to develop the idea of establishing a race track as a revenue generating enterprise for the community. “We think horse racing is worth saving,” said Montour, words that were welcomed by the OHHA representatives. “We'd like to do our part to bring that about.” The idea was supported in principle by the OHHA representatives, who said combining harness racing with a casino was a good idea.

NOTICE OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT SUBMISSION Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study Highway 3 Drainage Improvements Canfield, Ontario G.W.P. 3507-02-00, County of Haldimand THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is undertaking the Detailed Design in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study completed during preliminary design for the drainage improvements on 1.2 km of Highway 3 within Canfield in Haldimand County. The Recommended Plan includes: • Lowering of the Highway 3 roadway to facilitate the capture of surface drainage; • Construction of a new storm sewer system; • Installation of new catchbasins; • Rebuilding of sidewalks; • Minor ditching; • Street tree removals; • Relocating utility poles; • Replacement of illumination; and • Replacement of several crossing and entrance culverts. Traffic will be maintained on Highway 3 during construction. Sidewalks and parking will be maintained to the greatest extent possible. Vehicular access to driveways will be interrupted for two to three days to allow concrete to cure after placement of sidewalks and curb. THE PROCESS This project is being carried out in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), as a Group 'B' undertaking. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) was prepared during the preliminary design. The TESR was placed on the public record in June 2011 and received clearance to proceed to the Detail Design stage in July 2011. This project includes fulfilling the commitments made in the TESR and addressing outstanding issues in detail. The project has been documented in a Design and Construction Report (DCR). Upon completion of the 30-day review period, this project may proceed to construction.

Key representatives from the Ontario Harness Horsemen’s Association (OHHA) met with the Six Nations Elected Council’s Physical and Economic Development Committee earlier this month.

Elected Chief Montour whipped through a powerpoint presentation, touching on damage done to harness racing now that Ontario has decided to no longer back horse racing. That decision was a recommendation contained in the Drummond Report, commissioned by the government to help find ways to pare down the deficit. Last year, Ontario said it subsidized horse racing by as much as $345 million a year, and wanted to redirect the money towards health care and education. While the cutback in support means it is likely some race tracks in Ontario will close, Montour said Six Nations Council wanted to create tourist destination at Six Nations based on harness racing and a casino. He said the second phase

however he could. Horse racing has long had a historical place in Haudenosaunee culture, Ava Hill told the guests, including her own family. Her brother, Larry Hill, was present in the visitor's gallery for the meeting. Elected Councillor Carl Hill (District Two) said his family has also raced horses for decades. Elected Chief William Montour said federal funding transfers to Six Nations have been cut, and the community needs to have alternative revenue. Seeing an opportunity emerging with Ontario's new direction,

A stand-alone race track would not work, they said. The visiting delegation was asked if they would work with Six Nations to develop a track on the territory. The three representatives, President Ken Hardy, Executive member Jim Whelan and General Manager Brian Tropea each committed to providing whatever advice they could. They also agreed to holding further meetings on the topic. Elected Chief Montour said Six Nations as a sovereign nation, would establish the track independently of any government body.

Barrett still babbling We really must respond to Conservative MPP Toby Barrett’s most recent media release regarding Kanonhstaton (the former Douglas Creek Estates land). It seems Barrett has taken up the banner to keep the fire lit under the Caledonia conflict with his standard inflammatory use of words like “illegal”, “rule of law”, “one law for all”, or “militants” to describe the two lone Native occupants of the site who are there simply to keep a Six Nations presence on the land many believe, from a Haudenosaunee perspective, was reclaimed in 2006. Let’s decode Barrett’s choice of words. “Illegal occupation”: The two Six Nations men on site are there with the permission of the perceived land owners (Ontario), and as such are not there illegally. “Rule of Law”: This concept includes section 35 of the Constitution Act which upholds, recognizes and affirms the existing Aboriginal and treaties rights, which is what is at the root of the entire issue since it involves the alleged theft of this piece of land by the Canadian government many years ago. “One Law for All”: If in fact there was “one law for all”, there would be no such thing as the Indian Act in its many oppressive incarnations over the years, or Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Act, or the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and all it covers. “One law for all” is a sick joke when you see the hundreds of cases of the politically powerful and corporately entrenched being exempt from laws the rest of Canada is expected to adhere to, or who receive light punishments for financial improprieties and still get to keep their lucrative lifetime pensions. We read about these breaches of trust almost weekly. This week it was Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan who was forced to resign because of financial misbehavior, but all anyone wants to talk about is what Theresa Spence may or may not have done. Barrett writes to his PC government cronies and the Toronto media, which knows nothing more than Christie Blatchford’s one sided account of the events, “It has been seven years and MILITANTS (our emphasis) continue to occupy Douglas Creek Estates subdivision in Caledonia.” First, it is no longer the Douglas Creek Estates subdivision. The selective choice of Barrett’s words leaves the impression to the uninitiated that there is a subdivision in Caledonia that has been taken over by a band of wild Indians who, over the past seven years, are holding it’s occupants as prisoners against their will. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the issue or has even been to Caledonia within the past five years will know this is not the case at all. This word picture is a well cultivated lie, intended to evoke reaction from the Ezra Levants of the the world. Barrett speaks of the burned out trailer on highway #6, but forgets to tell his readers that it was anti-Native militants who torched it in the first place, as they did two Native built gate houses and a nearby Smoke Hut (and no one was arrested in any of these cases either, nor was it widely reported). He talks about the discharging of “an AK47 from a provincial highway that put a guy in hospital.” Of corse he allows his readers to falsely assume the victim was a poor innocent Caledonian shot by nasty Indians for no apparent reason. Barrett knows the incident did not happen at Kanonhstaton and involved a dispute between two Native men, completely separate from the land dispute. He also knows the shooter was caught very quickly after the incident by Six Nations Police, sentenced and sent off to prison for his crime. But Barrett makes no mention of that. He is still crying foul about arrested development when home builders associations in Haldimand, Brantford and Brant all report building is actually up significantly. Barrett finishes his manipulative rhetoric to the Toronto media and fellow PC’s by quoting — of all people — a right wing Toronto Sun Media columnist. One thing we do agree with Barrett about is that the issue of Kanonhstaton needs to be resolved. But not because of his misleading projected image of evil Indians daily reeking havoc upon innocent Caledonian citizens, but so the truth of title to this land and many other land claims can be fairly put to the test and looked at in the light of day. That is a federal issue which Barrett’s boss in Ottawa refuses to deal with, and that is the biggest crime of the Caledonia conflict.

Coming Soon to Haldimand: Over 200 Wind Turbines The assembly of the first industrial wind turbine in Haldimand County approved under the Green Energy Act, was completed on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013 at a NextEra site on Concession 5, Walpole. With NextEra’s 56 wind turbines to install, Capital Power’s 45 turbines in Haldimand, Samsung’s 67 turbines and the 6 existing turbines near Lowbanks, these projects bring the totals to 174 wind turbines for the county. Niagara Region Corporation is proposing 31 more wind turbines in the far eastern part of the county and knowing the province’s record for approvals, that would add up to 205 industrial wind turbines for southern Haldimand! Capital Power’s project also includes a cluster of another 13 wind turbines in Norfolk County just east of Port Dover by East Quarter Line near the lakeshore. But if you think NextEra’s wind turbines are tall, you haven’t seen anything yet! Their turbines happen to be the shortest ones planned for Haldimand. With an 80m hub height and 49m blade, the total height is 129m or 423 ft. Each successive project’s wind turbines increase with height. Capital Power’s wind turbine hub height of 95m plus a 44m blade totals 139m or 456 ft. Taller yet are Samsung’s wind turbine hubs of 100m plus a 49m blade which equals 149m or 488 ft. Niagara Region Wind Corporation’s proposed wind turbines would be 124m or 135 m tall, with a 48.5m blade making them 565 ft. tall or 602 ft. tall, the tallest turbines yet. Also coming to a quiet, beautiful countryside near you: reduced property values, loss of democratic rights, health effects for some and rising electricity rates for all. Haldimand’s industrial blight has begun! Betty Ortt, Nanticoke

To vote or not to vote people supported the confederacy council. There were sheets of paper in the stores and restaurants I remember. I noticed there weren’t many signatures on the sheets, so perhaps that’s the reason the petition fizzled out and was never heard of again. Then I see Wes Elliot presented a transition plan to the confederacy council in preparation for the demise of the Indian Act. Elliot expects once the Indian Act is gone the elected council will be gone and the confederacy chiefs will be taking over the

Clans and Clan Mothers are an integral part of the traditional system. So people are not even given the opportunity for input. We know, as evidenced by the lack of any financial accounting from the HDI to the community, that the confederacy chiefs believe they aren’t obligated to account to the people. Even more disturbing is the confederacy council will not represent the whole community. According to their Eight Points of Jurisdiction position paper the confederacy chiefs would exclude the diversity of people and beliefs in our community. In the position

paper it says: “Nor do we want to exclude any groups or individuals as long as they agree to live by the principles of the Great Law and to follow the path as laid out for us by the Peacemaker”. What the confederacy chiefs are saying is that they will only represent and work for the people who believe as they do and who follow the traditional ways and attend longhouse. This selective governance was unacceptable in 1924 and should be unacceptable today. The elected council on the other hand doesn’t just work with and support the people who voted in the

election process; the chief and council represent every person who is a member of Six Nations no matter what their beliefs and lifestyle and religious choices. So people need to think about what kind of government they want and what government works best for our community. For certain, and speaking only for myself and not council, our community would not survive if the elected council only met once a month or put issues under the pillow for months and sometimes years. Councilor Helen Miller

There is a group of women led by Terri Lyn Brant who plan to ask people to sign a card stating their support for the confederacy council as the government of Six Nations and to refuse to vote in the elected system as well as make other affirmations. The intention Ms. Brant said recently is to get 2000 people over the age of 18 to sign unto the card. Presumably if the group gets 2000 people to take the card this would show more support for the confederacy council then for the elected council, given that we know the three-year election only garners anywhere from 1000 – 1500 votes. But there is a significant difference between Ms. Brant’s process and the three-year election process. The elected council elections give every eligible voter 18 years old and over the opportunity to vote in the advance poll and in the election poll whereas Ms. Brant’s process will be selective in recruiting people to sign onto their card. At least that’s the way it sounds. What Ms. Brant’s process won’t take into account is how many people don’t support the confederacy council as the government. In order to be fair Ms. Brant would have to give every person 18 years and over or the eligible voters the opportunity to sign unto their card or not to sign on. Only then could the group truly determine who the people support. Then too there are people who may support the confederacy council but not necessarily support the confederacy council as the government of Six Nations. According to reports when Ms. Brant presented her card idea to the confederacy council the Cayuga and Onondaga chiefs rejected the card and the idea but not so with Mohawk Chief Allan McNaughton. Chief McNaughton said the Mohawks supported the card. “We think it’s pretty good…and they should get them out there,” he said. My first thought was at what point did the Mohawks agree? I certainly didn’t agree and I don’t recall any Mohawk Clan meetings being advertised or called. Furthermore, all the Mohawks I’ve talked to since reading about this card either didn’t agree or didn’t know about the card. So who exactly makes up the “We” Chief McNaughton referenced? Ms. Brant claims there hasn’t been a petition asking who supports the confederacy council since 1923. I beg to differ. I think it was last summer Hazel Hill worked on and circulated a petition asking if

reins. But the confederacy chiefs have never said they want to take over the governance of Six Nations. Last I heard the confederacy chiefs only wanted the “exclusive” governance of the Eight Points of Jurisdiction. Six Nations is an $80 million operation with over 700 employees making up several departments necessary to run our community. So this would mean the confederacy council would most certainly have to change the way it does business. We know the confederacy council doesn’t consult with the people even though the

New Six Nations Library - it all starts with pennies By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN

The Six Nations Library got a little help this week from the primary students of Oliver M. Smith school who collected 10,000 pennies, or $100, in a penny drive for the new Six Nations library, on Thursday, the 100th day of the school year. About the venerable old building on Chiefswood Road, CEO and Head Librarian, Dr. Sabrina Redwing Saunders said, “It’s kind of a cool old building, but we can’t accommodate everyone here at this school, let alone everyone else.” At Thursday’s general assembly, Dr. Saunders and OMSK librarian James Martin were proud of the young students and the work they did in collecting 10,000 pennies for the cause. “We are very excited,” says Saunders. “We know it’s coming, it’s just a case of raising the $15 million we need at

this point, but we do believe that this is something we can raise one penny at a time.” Conceptual designs for the new Six Nations Public Library & Archives Repository are available for viewing at the library office on Chiefswood Road along with updates on the fundraising efforts and details about the new facility. This information and more is also posted on the Six Nations Library website, at http://snpl.ca/. According to the website, “in 1967 when the Women’s Institute of Ohsweken campaigned for the community library, the original thinking was to have the Six Nations Public Library called the Pauline Johnson Memorial Library. Although the name was not utilized, SNPL utilizes the Silver brooch (which goes by several names including the national emblem of the Iroquois and the brooch of brotherhood) which has historical significance to the community and was written of by the

famous Haudenosaunee poetess. In P. Johnson’s story, she states that the brooch is representative of two men, although opposing warriors, who eventually came together as brothers, sharing life and assets. We see SNPL as a place of enlightenment for the community, but also as a clearinghouse of Aboriginal information for all of residents of the territory who may wish to learn about historical and contemporary Aboriginal issues.” Dr. Saunders hopes the project will be “shovel ready” to break ground by about June of this year ... that is if the funding necessary becomes available. “Being shovel ready means we will then be eligible for government grants,” says Saunders. “If you don’t want to be passed over for grants, as we have in the past, we need to be ready to go.” The land that has been purchased for the new site of the Library is located behind the

Smith School proudly posed for the cameras after collecting 10,000 pennies, all of which is earmarked for the new Six Nations Public Library & Archives Repository.

Baptist Church on Fourth Line Road near the main intersection of Chiefswood Road. An estimated cost for the new facility is just over $15 million. As is the case with most grants of this type, Six Nations will be expected to raise 1/3 of the total with the provincial and the federal governments adding 1/3 each. That makes the Six Nations community fund raising effort around $5 million. To date the library board has filed a request to the Elected Band Council for $1 million to cover the library’s portion, plus additional funding from other available sources as well. There is roughly $800,000 already spent in the planning stages of the project including the purchase of the land, feasibility studies, conceptual drawings, and other miscellaneous expenses. It will be a multi-use facility with a library and computer research stations but will also serve as an Six Nations’ archive for historical documents, pictures and maps for public viewing, says Saunders, along with Elected Band Council records and documents. The old library building beConceptual drawings inside and out, of the new Six Nations Public Library & Archives Re- gan it’s life in the communipository, designed by K.L.

on-reserve doctor to serve the people of Six Nations. Over the years it has been used three times as a library. Once in 1967, the second in the late 1970‘s, and most recently, in 1997. It is on a lifetime lease from Band Council as long as it is a library, which means that once they leave, the building reverts back to Band Council. There are no solid plans for the old building at this point, but despite it’s considerable age, the building is structurally sound and has been kept up well. Most recent extensive renovations came about in the very late 1990’s. “It’s a beautiful historic building and I’m sure it will be around for generations to come,” says Saunders.

“First Nations Library Week is annually on Valentines Day and is intended for all the First Nation community who have libraries to be able to promote the efforts and activities we do on reserves,” says Dr. Saunders. “It parallels with the Ontario Public Libraries Week which is in October. But instead of doing it at the same time, the First Nations Public Libraries decided to celebrate its libraries week in February since that is our story telling time. We felt that doing it at this time is more appropriate for us.” There are 49 First Nations Public Libraries in the province, but this isn’t nearly as many reserves as are located within Ontario.

The Chiefswood Board of Trustees are looking for people with interests in: History, Education, Literature, Business, Finance, Marketing & Advertising, Architecture, Environment, First Nations Culture to serve as board members. The Chiefswood Board of Trustees is a not-for-profit organization charged with the responsibility on behalf of the Six Nations of the Grand River people to protect, preserve, promote, and operate E. Pauline Johnson’s home as an important representation of our unique culture and history, and its contribution to the overall cultural fabric of Canada. The Board meets monthly from September to June.

Archeological monitor training

An estimated $100,000 in damages was done primarily to the second floor of the Brantford Native Housing centre at 314 Colborne Street in Brantford, Saturday morning. Investigation is underway as to the exact cause of the fire, however the source was located in one room on the second floor. No one was injured in the fire. (Photo by Jim Windle)

Continued from page 4 The stone-worker said he was happy to train anybody who is interested in learning the art, which he described as a process of trial and effort more than anything else. A Haldimand County resident, Moerschfelder said he began to learn how to work flint after he found “a ball of points”

on land that was to be the site of a landfill in Cayuga township. A well-driller by profession, and a long-standing amateur archeologist in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Moerschfelder had decided to walk the site of a proposed landfill in South Cayuga,

where he found the projectile points. In 1982, the provincial government recognized him for the find. Moerschfelder said he could make a small point in about fifteen minutes, but if he wanted to make a larger point, it could take as long as six hours.

Sr. B Rivermen hope to hit the ground running By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN

HAPPENINGS

Six Nations Rebel’s head coach Stew Monture is walking away from a possible unprecedented third consecutive Jr. B Founder’s Cup win with the Six Nations Rebels to roll the dice behind the bench of the new OLA Sr. B, Six Nations Rivermen this coming summer lacrosse season. “We’ve been seeing an overflow of juniors coming out of Jr. B who have kinda fallen into that grey area,” says Monture. “Those who have passed their Jr. eligibility and, for whatever reason, don’t want to play at the Sr. A level (the Chiefs) or the Can/Am (Slash) are caught in limbo.” The initial shopping list for potential players is loaded with well known names from the Jr. B Rebels and Jr. A Arrows ranks as well as from the two CLax winter league teams. These players will already be in game shape when the new Sr. B season begins April 21st.” “That represents 40 or 50 guys,” says General Manager Marty Staats, “and there hasn’t been men’s Sr. B la-

crosse here for a couple of years.” There are also spots available to walk-on players when the Rivermen training camp begins at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, February 26th. Rather than wait for the ice to come out of the Gaylord Powless Arena, camp will be held on the carpet at the ILA in stead.

With the list of names they hope to draw from, the Rivermen will likely hit the floor running and will experience very little if any transition into the league and the executive team hopes the Rivermen will be a contender right off the get-go. The Sr. B plays under the same rules as the Jr. A and Jr. B, following the National Lacrosse League. The Sr. B

league now consists of seven teams. Most of the players on the list of hopefuls have experience playing on the GPA hard surface so coach Monture doesn’t expect any problems with players getting used to the hard floor as opposed to the carpet at the ILA. Monture believes that most, if not all, the other teams in the Sr. B also play on the hard surface. “We just like the atmosphere here at the GPA,” says Staats. “Some people like to watch games here too,” adds Monture. Before the floor at the GPA was repaired there was a chronic problem of the floor sweating to the point where some games had to be canceled or rescheduled. Staats and Monture believe that problem has been rectified. Lacrosse Hall of Famer, Cap Bomberry, the executive president of the new team, Staats and others began their work on bringing Sr. B back to Six Nations last October following the Nations Cup series. The St. Regis Braves won the Sr. B league championship the past two years and

General Manager Marty Staats, head coach Stew Monture, Cap Bomberry president of the Rivermen executive, and Second Vice President, Claud Sault were at the Gaylord Powless Arena, Thursday afternoon to announce the formation of the new Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen lacrosse franchise, which will play out of the Gaylord Powless Arena this coming summer. (Photo by Jim Windle) the Rivermen are confident they can overthrow the champions in their first season of operation. Time will tell, but on paper anyhow, that appears to be a very strong pos-

sibility. The Six Nations Slash represented the Sr. Can/Am league last year and operates in close relationship with the OLA Sr. B, but as a separate

Corvairs can’t solve Dutchmen goalie By Jim Windle CALEDONIA/ KITCHENER

The Caledonia Corvairs had a very busy week in GOJHL Jr. B hockey action playing four games in five nights. But not as busy as Kitchener Dutchmen goalie Marc Williams. Tuesday night, Caledonia was in Kitchener in the back half of a home-and-home series with the Dutchmen. Jeff Swift scored the only goal of the first period on a powerplay at 15:55 assisted by Greg Christmas and Matt Quilty despite pummeling Kitchener goalie Marc Wil-

liams with 21 shots compared to 10 shots which Caledonia starter Marcus DelConte was called upon to handle in the same time frame. Caledonia continued to fire 18 shots to 8, but after 40 minutes the Corvairs were behind 2-1 in goals, but ahead 39 to 18 in shots on goal. The pattern continued in the third with Caledonia throwing everything they had at Williams, and they were finally rewarded at 14:39 when Ryan Blunt scored from Matt Quilty to tie the game at 2-2. Kitchener put on some pressure and with 3:10 left in the game, Brandon Montour

and Brett Clampitt locked horns and were each assessed two minute roughing minors. Clampitt was also singled out for playing without a helmet and given a gross misconduct. Caledonia got a chance to put the game away when Kitchener’s Keli Grant was whistled for boarding, giving the Corvairs the last two minutes of the game with an extra attacker. But Williams stood firm and sent the game into overtime. With 53 seconds remaining in the OT period, Kitchenr’s Clayton Greer ended the assault on his goalie by winning the game 3-2.

Brantford Blast’s into the playoffs with 20 goals in last 2 games By Jim Windle BRANTFORD

The Orillia Tundras of the Sr. A Allan Cup Hockey League were tarred and feathered Sunday afternoon at the Brantford Civic Centre by the Brantford Blast who humiliated them 14-2. That was preceded by Friday night’s 6-2 Brantford win in Orillia. Pretty well everyone but the trainer was in on Sunday’s thrashing as 15 players added points to their records, led by former NHL’er Joel Prpic with four goals. Cam Sault picked up two goals and two assists in Sunday win. He did not dress Friday night. Friday night’s game was a bit more respectable for the Tundras, at least compared to Sunday. Brantford was held to 2 goals in the first period despite out shooting Orillia 15-6. It was 4-1 after two periods and in the third, Brantford added two more allowing one. Brantford outshot Orillia a total of 86-45 in the two meetings this week and

In the end, Williams faced 60 shots in total compared to DelConte’s 31, but it was Kitchener who walked away with the extra point. Monday night in Caledonia the Corvairs dropped a 4-3 decision thanks to an unassisted Dutchmen goal scored by Matt Papineau with 11 seconds remaining in the third period.

After Kitchener opened the game with goals at 2:00 and 8:48, the Corvairs came to life to even the score with answers from Mate Mitton and Brandon Montour. Brier Jonathan assisted on Mitton’s goal with Tyler Norrie and Adam Brady providing the helpers for Montour’s goal. Continued on page 15

Bush league playoffs start Thursday By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN

The Six Nations Men’s Hockey League (aka the Bush league) closed out its 2013 regular season on Thursday night at the Gaylord Powless Arena with games that saw the Silverhawks go up against the Spoilers in the first game, followed by the Smoothtown Bruins taking on the Spirits. By the end of the night, the playoff match ups were set and the league’s scoring championship was determined. The spoilers edged out the Silverhawks 7-6 in the first game, in a closely played affair between the league’s top two teams. Going in, the Silverhawks were 11-3-0 for 22 points while the Spoilers carried a 10-4-0 record for 20 points. The score was tied 2-2 after the first frame, with Silverhawk goals going to Derrick Anderson, unassisted, and Bob Henry from Anderson and Les Smith. A goalmouth scramble re-

sulted in the Silverhawks taking a 3-2 lead, but he Spoilers tied it again at 3-3. Sandy Porter made it 4-3 for the Spoilers before the second period ended. The Silverhawks were buzzing around the Spoiler’s net in some sustained pressure, but it was the Spoilers’ Jake Hill who brought the puck out of the Spoilers’ zone and beat Dallas Anderson at the other end of the ice to make it 5-3 to that point. Porter and Cam Patterson assisted. Porter scored his second of the game with a shot along the ice that made it into the bottom stick side, just inside the post. The Silverhawks responded with Moe Midgely’s goal scored with three minutes left. They pulled Anderson for an extra attacker which paid off with 1:34 remaining, bringing the S-hawks to within one goal. There was lots of action around the Spoilers net as time began to run out, however, it was the Spoilers who put the game on ice with an

empty netter. Top gunner for the Silverhawks was Tim Bomberry with two goals, Bob Henry and Darrick Anderson each scored one and assisted on two more. Leading the Spoilers were Jake Hill and Mark Johnson, both with two goals and two assists. Cam Patterson scored once and assisted on two. The Spoilers win caused league convener Peewee Green to do a little mathematics to see who would face whom when the playoffs begin Thursday night at the GPA. The two teams ended the season with identical 11-4-0 records, however, the Spoilers have won one more game against the Silverhawks in regular season play. As a result, the Spoilers finish on top. In the second game of the night, the Bruins and the Spirits had a good old fashioned barnburner. When the smoke cleared, the Spirits outlasted the Bruins 11-10 for their only win of the season. Each team had only one

(Photo by Jim Windle) spare on the bench, but it was an exciting end of the regular season nonetheless. The two teams traded goals all night as goalies Chaz Montour in the Bruins net and Dion Jonathan for the Spirits were left to fend for themselves most of the game. Heath Hill and Delby Powless led the Spirit charge. Hill accumulated four goals and five assists while Powless scored four and assisted on four. John Monture scored three and added three assists. Also picking up points for

the Spirits were Brandon Hill (1G,3A), Travis Hill (2A) and Josh Powless (2A). The Bruin’s offence was driven by #43, only identified as Merv, with three goals and three assists. Ian Martin scored three and assisted on one while Mitch Green scored once and assisted on six. Bruin’s #7 and Cam Sault each scored once and assisted on four. Scotty VanEvery scored one and assisted on one. The first round of the playoffs begins this Thursday

night as a best of three series which will see the Spoilers and Bruins matched up and the Silverhawks do battle with the Spirits. First game begins at 8 pm with the second to follow at 9 pm. Silverhawk’s Marty Hill wins the league regular season scoring title with 14 goals and 24 assists for 38 points. Dean Hill finishes second (20G,17A), and Sandy Porter comes in third with 25 goals and 9 assists. Ian Martin is fourth with 18 goals and 13 assists.

Demons have disastrous first half By Jim Windle ST. CATHARINES

The Ohsweken Demons would love to have the first half of Monday nights game back, after being murdered 20-11 by the Niagara Lock Monsters in St. Catharines. The Monsters had a 4-1 edge after the first quarter but completely bowled over the Demons, 10-2, in the disastrous second quarter, making it a 14-3 game at the half. After half time, the Demons got their feet under them and kept stride with the Monsters, even out scoring them 8-6 in the second half, but it would prove to

be far too big of a mountain to clime as the Demons record fell to 4-3 after seven games played — still good for second place behind the Toronto Shooting stars. Niagara is now third place only two points behind Ohsweken but have two games in hand, as do the Stars. There was at total of 54 points distributed amongst the Lock Monsters with three players tallying seven point games and another with six. Six Nations’ Kim Squire, who plays with the Monsters, scored three and assisted on two for a five point night. Once the the Demons re-

covered from the first half, Wayne VanEvery scored three and assisted on three to pace the Demons. Kyle Isaacs scored two and assisted on two while Delby Powless scored one and assisted on three. Jeff Powless had a tough game allowing 14 goals on 45 shots before being replaced by back up, Randy Johnson who allowed 6 goals on 9 shots. Connor Danko went the distance in the Niagara goal. These same Niagara Lock Monsters hosted the Iroquois Ironmen Tuesday night. There was no final score to report by deadline.

Corvairs can’t solve Dutchmen goalie Continued from page 13 Keegan Calder connected on a powerplay for Kitchener at 10:14 but Mitton responded with a shorthander assisted by Montour and Norrie. It looked like OT was in the cards as the third period wound down, but Papinaeau found a loos puck and buried it at 19:48 for the regular time win. Saturday evening at the Sleeman Centre in Guelph, the Corvairs easily handled the Guelph Hurricanes, 4-1, although the score was no indication of the lopsidedness of the game. The Corvairs outshot Guelph 53-19 and had it not been the superhuman effort of Hurricane goaltender Jason DaSilva this game could easily have been dou-

ble digets. Despite being outshot 16-9, Guelph scored the only goal of the first period, which Matt Quilty equaled on a powerplay at 13:42 of the second period assisted by Jeff Swift and Brandon Montour. The Hurricanes could only manage a light breeze in the third and were only able to direct four shots toward Marcus DelConte in the Caledonia net while DaSilva faced 18. Spencer Gourlay, Montour, and Ryan Blunt tallied in the period with assists earned by Montour, Connor Murphy, Adam Brady, Simon Blyth, Swift and Leonard Dziemianko. The Caledonia penalty killers prevented a single goal on six Guelph powerplays, while

the Corvair powerplay unit went 2 for 8. It took a shoot out with the Waterloo Siskins to determine the 4-3 winner at the Haldimand Arena as the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs on Friday night. The Corvairs came out on top to take the two point win. The Corvairs had to fight back from a 3-0 deficit to take the game into overtime. The were behind 2-0 after the first 20 minutes of play and 3-0 early in the second. But then the tide turned. Caledonia goaltender Justis Husak put a lock on the door from that moment on to give his team enough time to mount their comeback. Connor Murphy got Caledonia on the scoresheet at

The score stayed that way until 17:30 of the third period when Tyler Norrie scored shorthanded with Murphy in the penalty box serving 2

minutes for goalie Interference. There was no scoring through the extra period which set up for the shootout. Adam Brady and Murphy made good on their attempts while Husak kept all Waterloo shooters at bay. The regular season concludes for the Corvairs with

a home-and -home series with the Listowel Cyclones beginning this Friday night at 7:30 in Caledonia followed by Saturday night’s rematch in Listowel. Meanwhile Cambridge closes out their regular season Saturday night in Cambridge against the Elmira Sugar Kings.

Winnipeg police shutting down tipline on drifter accused of killing three women WINNIPEG _ Police in Winnipeg say they're shutting down a national tipline that was set up to gather information on a drifter accused of killing three women. The phone line was set up last summer to assist investigators in the case of Shawn Cameron Lamb. Lamb is accused of second-degree murder in the deaths of three aboriginal women. The line was set up in part to determine whether he might be connected to any unsolved cases across Canada. In October, police said dozens of people had called the tipline with details that in

some instances prompted investigators to interview previous callers. Anyone who may still have information is being asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Winnipeg police homicide unit, which continues to investigate. Lamb is accused of killing Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith. Blacksmith, 18, was found dead in January 2012. Sinclair, 25, died last March. Both bodies were found wrapped in plastic near garbage bins. Nepinak's body has never been found. It's believed the 31-year-old was dumped in a garbage bin that was emptied in the Brady landfill

Services Directory Services

just south of the city. Police searched a section of the landfill, but found no sign of her. Lamb's arrest in June prompted renewed calls from aboriginal leaders for a national inquiry on missing and murdered aboriginal women. The federal government has rejected the idea.

It might have been cold outside on Wednesday February 13, but the Junior Co-ed District Basketball Tournament taking place inside Emily C. General's gymnasium helped heat things up. Six schools participated in the tournament, which culminated in a championship game. In this picture, the action between teams from Emily C. General (yellow tops) and Lloyd S. King (red tops) was fast and furious. Lloyd S. King won that game with a score of 20 versus 14 for Emily C. General. Oliver M. Smith came out on top by the end of the day, beating I.L. Thomas in the championship game with a score of 24 to 5. (Photograph by Stephanie Dearing).

Olive Ann was a teacher for many years on Six Nations and is fondly remembered by the many students she taught, especially the students at # 5 school. She was an active member of St Luke’s church for many years and from what I hear a God mother to most of the people in the parish of St. Luke’s. In later years she was active in the churches of St. Luke’s, St Paul’s and St Peter’s on Six Nations.
