Farmer urges one voice for everyone

By Stephanie Dearing SIX NATIONS

Six Nations farmer Art Porter wants the community to know he regrets his choice of words during a recent meeting of council's Committee of the Whole he had attended on behalf of the Farmers Association earlier this month.

During the meeting, which took place on Monday, May 13, Porter said a couple of white people were telling the Chiefs what to do; referring to the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) and the Confederacy Chiefs Council. Porter and the Farmers Association had been invited to the Committee of the Whole to discuss the disagreement that has erupted between them and HDI over the farming of Burtch.

The disagreement arose when the Farmers Association proceeded to plant crops at Burtch this spring, as they have done for the past five years, refusing to sign a lease created by the HDI for the land.

In what appeared to be retaliation, HDI shut down soil remediation work at Burtch on May 6, insisting the farm machinery posed a risk to tree planters. HDI wanted Infrastructure Ontario to provide security to keep the farmers and other unwanted people off the land, but Ontario did not comply. Ontario said there was no problem with the farmers cultivating the land, and there had been no complaints about health and safety infractions.

The remediation work resumed on May 14.

Porter said he hadn't intended to hurt anyone, and read a prepared statement to Tekawennake during a recent interview.

“To the members of the Six Nations of the Grand, as a member of the Six Nations Farmers Association and a farmer on the reserve, I'd like to make an apology. I said [something] out of context at a meeting with the Elected Council. The words I meant to say were 'not fullblood native,' meaning HDI. I sincerely apologize and I ask for your forgiveness,” Porter said.

“I'd like to thank all of you for the support we received in reference to the Burtch land and the white corn for the community. Farming can have its difficulties at times, but we all have to have food.

We can talk about HDI, but what we need to do more is take actions and stand up for what we believe in,” said Porter.

“Our community over the years has been sort-of seesawing back and forth,” said Porter. He likened the factions that disagree with each other to a team of work horses. “My father had a team of horses and when we would load up our wagon and go to pull, sometimes one horse would pull and the other horse would pull back so there was a see-saw back and forth. We couldn't move that load when it was seesawing.” His father would stop, move the horses and then they would pull together, “and pull that load where ever we wanted it.”

“And that's what I see in our community,” said Porter, referring to Confederacy

Council and Elected Council.

“It's back and forth, there's no unity. I'd like to see unity on our territory.” The 73 year old man said it's been the same story all his life, resulting in stagnated progress, something he said is partly the fault of individuals.

“There's been a lack in a lot of respects on the community for not supporting what we believe in. I'd like to see that change. I'd like to see a table that our leaders could sit around, the Confederacy, the Elected system, the Mohawk Workers, the Men's Fire. Those that are trying to achieve goals for our community,” said Porter. “If we could sit around with one voice, you would see a big change in our territory.”

But Porter doesn't see HDI sitting at that table – at least, not at this time. “In my books, they're not a legitimate organization. I don't support them and I don't intend to support them until, if our community says yes, HDI is an authority, then yes, I'll go to HDI. But [HDI] has to be put in by the people.”

While HDI's lawyer and board director Aaron Detlor had claimed Six Nations Elected Council has had no representation at the provincial table while the environmental clean-up of the Burtch lands is under way, Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry said council is represented at the table by consultants DMZ. Detlor maintains HDI is a legal entity, and recently wrote an update for HDI's website stating, “Continued support for HDI efforts has been confirmed with the recent statement from

(Photograph by Stephanie Dearing). the Haudenosaunee Grand Council. Grand Council’s statement makes it very clear that elected band councils do not represent the Haudenosaunee people as they are creatures of Canadian legislation that are designed to limit and ultimately eliminate the Haudenosaunee.”

“We will continue to work to ensure that Haudeno-

saunee rights and interests are maintained and protected and we will continue to keep a good mind as we seek to work with all Haudenosaunee people beneath the shelter of the Great Tree of Peace,” Deltor said. Readers will find the Grand Council's statement in this week's issue of Tekawennake.

Both Elected Council

and HDI claim the Burtch lands. Meanwhile, the Six Nations Farmers Association have now planted 277 acres of corn at Burtch. Another 22 acres of white corn were planted on the reserve at three locations. Porter said the white corn is for the community, and the farmers will publicize the locations at a later date.

OMG! GMO has to go, says marchers

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD

People’s concerns over Genetically Manipulated Organisms, or GMO’s as they are called, brought tens of thousands to the streets around the world Saturday including about 100 marchers in Brantford.

Carrying signs directed towards Monsanto, one of the world’s biggest agri-industries who have been leaders in altering the genetic make up of seeds to produce larger and more robust and prolific strains of food.

But critics of the practice have been working just as hard to call into question the nutritional value and health dangers of consumers as well as the moral concept of “patenting life”, as it were.

They gathered at the Zehrs parking lot on Fairview Drive and marched to the Food Basics grocery store on King George Road, waving signs and chanting “Just say no to GMO” and handing out pamphlets designed to edu-

“I just felt I need to step up. I think my job in the world right now is to create awareness at different levels.” - March organizer Sara Klassen cate consumers of the GMO danger.

Former NDP candidate Marc Leferrier was front and centre and happy to be a part of the demonstration.

“Things that are good for wealth are not always good for health,” he said. “You have companies like Monsanto who in many countries have been allowed to be completely off the hook when it comes to doing the research into the effects of genetically manipulated organisms, or GMO’s, in foods consumed by humans.

He knows the subject well.

“In 2011 I ran on a platform which included labeling GMO foods and also on local food policies and strategies to encourage more home grown, organic produce,” he said. “We are still pushing for that but we have a Conservative government with some of their members voting in fa-

Around 100 concerned citizens joined the world-wide March against Monsanto Saturday afternoon in Brantford. Similar marches took place around the world as citizens stand up against genetically manipulated foods and Monsanto’s bid to patent life in the form of food seed. (Photo by Jim Windle) vour of food labeling yet they let their senate kill it. I think it’s a dirty trick to take the credit for looking progressive on something and actually not pass any laws that make any sense for people’s health.”

Over 60 countries have some form of restriction on GMO, whether it’s to make labeling manditory or an outright ban or strict regulations, which Leferrier thinks makes sense.

“I think, by the number of people here today, it makes sense to them too,” he says.

“I just wonder why it’s harder to get locally grown food at a local market than it is to bring it in from Indonesia or Mexico.”

Rachel Higgins of Paris, Ontario hosts her own radio show called “Alternative Mommy.”

“We advocate people to do as much research as possible into GMO to find out for themselves exactly what is in our food. What is in our vaccines in our air,” says Higgins.

“The FDA is supposed to protect us and be on our side, yet the FDA are approving all this garbage in our food and toxins to put into our children’s body. For Monsanto it’s always just the bottom line. It’s all about the dollar.”

She was all in when organizer Sara Klassen decided to support the world-wide demonstration with a local march.

“Everyone became passionate about it and ran with it,” said Klassen. “I just felt I need to step up. I think my job in the world right now is to create awareness at different levels.”

Chance George is also a social media host of his own internet radio show which he calls “Truth Talk”.

“Over 20 years ago you could not find organic food in grocery stores,” he says.

“We want the store buyers and managers to understand that we are willing to pay even a premium to be assured our food is safe. We are willing to vote with our dollars and protest, avoid and not use what is being presented as convenience for us”.

He admits that it will take longer to get your groceries by checking labels, but according to him, it is time and money well spent.

“Once you get onto it and recognize the right brands, it becomes second nature,” says George. “Once you identify the foods to know are full of toxins and unnatural stuff, you take the time to find alternatives.”

Many produce managers at

Chanting “just say no to GMO” marchers brought the issue of genetically altered foods to the awareness of the average Brantford consumer who has no idea what Monsanto corporation is doing to the world’s food supplies.

local grocery stores simply do not know what they are putting on the shelf for customers to consume.

Six Nations’ Deb Springle also participated for her own Onkwehon:weh reasons.

“It is my responsibility to be here,” she said. “I am a Mohawk woman and it is my responsibility to protect every living thing Creator put here for us, and to stand against anything that will destroy liv-

ing plants, animals, birds and people. I agree that we need to stop this practice of genetically modifying life.

“The plants are our medicines, the trees are our shelter and are the homes of other living creatures,” Springle explains. “So, I have to support this march. There is an awakening among some people.

They said the world was coming to an end in 2012, but how I see it, the old world began

to give way to a new, more friendly to nature world and this movement is part of that.

Things are changing and it’s not only about First Nations people. It’s about all people.

We stand together like the Two Row, in balance against the same threat.”

Following a few final “bullhorn” speeches, the marchers broke up, some continuing to carry their signs all the way back to the Zehrs lot.

Looking like a bright future for SN

By Stephanie Dearing SIX NATIONS

“Six Nations is open for business,” is the message that has been relayed to China. And China is indeed interested. “There are a couple of Chinese companies interested in working with Six Nations,” said Elected Chief William Montour during a telephone interview.

Chief Montour said he believes the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has a role to play in the Chinese interest in Six Nations. He explained NAFTA “requires a foreign entity to have to have North American content in their product before they can enter into the North American market.”

Add to that the fact that Six Nations is ideally situated near the US-Canada border and an international airport, and easy access to rail and 400 series highways make

the community desirable.

“We have the Oneida Business Park which could easily become a free trade zone,” said Chief Montour. A Chinese company could bring its unfinished products to Six Nations for finishing, in the process generating jobs for the community. “It would make imminent sense as far as I'm concerned.”

“You don't expect a deal on the first day,” said Chief Montour. “You have to get to know each other.” In the case of Samsung, relationship building got started in 2009, he said.

China is also interested in the gaming industry, and Six Nations has a pitched a proposal for a Six Nations destination centre to the Chinese, looking for investors. The resort would include a hotel complex, convention centre, gaming “as an attraction on the side, so to speak,” a small horse race track and a

water park for the children, “so there's something for the whole family to do,” said Chief Montour.

Six Nations “could bid on a zone” for the resort, said Chief Montour. There are only four resort casinos in Ontario at present, but because gaming revenues have been on a decline, Ontario has recently opened the door to allow private sector gaming, creating 29 gaming zones.

The and asked for private proposals for those zones in 2012. A Six Nations-Chinese partnership could, in theory, bid on any open gaming zone in Ontario.

While lotteries and gaming have brought in $34 billion to the provincial coffers since 1975, First Nations have not been given much of a share. “Why should we settle for 1.7 percent of all gaming in Ontario when it's shared between 133 First Nations,” asked Chief Montour.

“I think it's a placating thing, we'll give you this as long as you don't create any waves by creating your own casino.”

Even if Gaming Zone SW3 is not up for grabs, Six Nations has proposed an on-reserve casino, and have also told the Chinese that they could bid on other zones in the province. “I think there's all kinds of jurisprudence ... that we could challenge Canada and say look, because our budgets are getting cut every day ... it's putting a real pressure on First Nation governments to meet the needs of their communities,” said Chief Montour. “I look at gaming as voluntary taxation.”

“We tried working with the City of Brantford,” said Chief Montour. “We even had investors to purchase the Oak Park lands, the old gravel pit on Highway 403 and relocate the Brantford Casino there to make it a destination

casino, but the City of Brantford wouldn't go for it.” That wasn't the case with Brant County, which has already offered Six Nations an opportunity to participate in a number of economic development initiatives through the Brant 403 Business Park.

“Brant County, they wanted to do something like that,” said Chief Montour.

That's not all Six Nations proposed to the Chinese on the trade mission taken last fall by Six Nations consultant Phil Monture and Matt Jamieson, Director of Economic Development. Other ideas for a private medical imaging centre; turning the vacant facility at the Oneida Business Park into a beverage bottling factory as well as on- and off-reserve wind and solar projects were also pitched to the Chinese.

Consultant Phil Monture will be travelling to China again shortly after having

been invited by a couple of companies. The trip will be paid for by the companies.

“They wanted me to go to China,” said Chief Montour.

“What's the use of me going to China? They've got the money, we've got the opportunity here. Bring your money over here and see what opportunities it can work at.”

Six Nations of the Grand is also looking at taking over the hydro distribution on the territory as well as potentially buying a 49 percent interest in a $100 million transmission line – with potential financing assistance from Chinese investors.

Six Nations representatives have also been meeting with the Chinese Consulate in Ottawa, which has established a China Desk, said Chief Montour. The Chinese embassy has an office dedicated to facilitating business ventures between Chinese and Canadian interests.

Brantford City Council draw the ire of Chief Montour

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS While relations between Six Nations Elected Council Chief Bill Montour and County of Brant Mayor Ron Eddy warms up, that between Montour and Brantford Council and Mayor Chris Friel is beginning to sour.

The latest bone of contention revolves around two pieces of property located within the city of Brant-

ford that have, collectively, around $90,000 in back property taxes against them and the city wants to sell them to recover these taxes.

While councillor David Neumann is seeking a more conciliatory stance with Six Nations, fellow Councillors Richard Carpenter and Dave Wrobels have been pushing for a tax sale on the properties located at 431 West St. and 110 Gilkinson St, sooner rather than later.

According to Chief Mon-

tour, “the Gilkinson Street property belongs to the Mohawk Nation, so it is a different entity. But the 431 West, that’s Six Nations’ Elected Council.”

In a telephone interview with Chief Montour Monday, he didn’t try to mince his words ... or maybe he did and his real feelings go even deeper.

“Governments don’t tax each other,” he said.

“They’re trying to assume that we are a citizen or what-

ever. I would suggest that if they want to go the tax route, I would advise the council (Six Nations Elected Council) to go the ‘additions to reserve’ route and make two urban reserves.”

He was offended and taken aback by published statements in the Brantford Expositor made by Councillor Richard Carpenter who said, “How do you say to a local resident taxpayer that you have to pay your bill but these people don’t.”

Carpenter went on to say, “there is ... not a separate tax law if you’re First Nations and another if you’re not ...

We have to have the same rule of law for everyone — if you own property, you pay taxes like everyone else.”

Montour said, “There are a couple of councillors there (City) that would dearly love to slap us up with anything. But I’m not going to be slapped up.”

And he offers a counter threat against the city’s determination to sell off land belonging to the Mohawks or Six Nations at large.

“I’m going to advise the “I will not be slapped up” council, if they want to play says Chief Bill Montour. dirty, we can play that way too,” he said in no uncertain tax arrears, Montour said, he terms. “We can start pro- was “throwing that ball back. ceedings to have that (land) If they want to play hardball, transferred to reserve sta- we can play hardball too.” tus.

Hopes high that overdue waste disintegrator will arrive soon

By Stephanie Dearing SIX NATIONS It is four months since the new waste disintegrator was to have been installed at the Six Nations garbage dump, fired up and taking care of the never-ending flow of unwanted garbage, but the incinerator is still in Nova Scotia and still is not ready to be shipped to Six Nations.

Elected Chief William Montour vowed he will ensure his friend, inventor John Kearns, delivers on his promise to bring the waste disintegrator to Six Nations soon.

“I'm going to get on his ass because I'm sick of waiting around for it,” said Montour in a telephone interview.

“That's mainly one of the

reasons why I didn't go to New York City [where the 12th United Nations Indigenous Forum is taking place],” said Chief Montour.

“It seems like it's dragging on and on and on, and I want to know why.”

In a telephone interview, Montour said he had been advised by Kearns the test burn, which has been delayed for months, at first because snow storms had impeded work on the construction of the disintegrator (which is being built outside), then because parts needed adjusting, re-jigging and re-fitting, would take place this week.

“Hopefully by the end of this week, we'll go down to witness the initial burn,” said Chief Montour. “I was told

the fire would be started this week,” explaining the fire had to burn for 30 hours to cure the apparatus before the test burn could take place. “I keep phoning him every other day to find out where we are.”

Chief Montour did not think Kearns' financial woes, which were relayed in an email sent to the Chief Counsellor and relayed to Councillor Wray Maracle (District Four), had any impact on the delivery of the disintegrator, saying Elected Council had paid for it last year.

Maracle had read the email aloud during the May 21 meeting of council, in Chief Montour's absence, saying Kearns would only communicate with the Chief Councillor after District Six

Councillor Dave Hill had taken Kearns to task during a conference call.

In the email Maracle read, Kearns said his “depleted cash flow has cause a reduced work force,” but promised his financial troubles would not affect progress on the construction of the disintegrator. Six Nations will have “a world class facility,” Kearns said. The inventor, who has not been able to sell his invention to anyone else despite years of trying, did not provide a deadline for the longdelayed test burn, only saying it would take place soon.

Chief Montour posited that his friend, “an inveterate inventor” was possibly too attached to his creation to let it go. “It's like this thing is his

baby, I don't know if he won't let it leave home or what, but we've got money in it so that damned thing is coming here whether he likes it or not.”

Elected Council had paid Kearns $480,000 last summer for the waste disposal unit.

“He's got money to truck it,” said Chief Montour. Once the test burn takes place, and assuming representatives from Six Nations are satisfied with the disposal unit, “the next day they'll start dismantling it and send it to Six Nations.”

The Chief Counsellor, who had tried to convince a previous sitting of Elected Council to buy a Kearns Waste Disintegrator, is confident the apparatus will work. “I've seen the machine. I know it exists, I know it can work.”

Maracle said Kearns had offered to monitor the operation of the disintegrator for two years after it is up and running at Six Nations.

Although Kearns says his apparatus underwent thorough analysis by an independent organization, and his technology does not pollute, the analysis or any emissions testing done on the disintegrator have not been shared with Tekawennake, despite requests for same.

A ten-minute promotional video about the technology is available to watch on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=vqQFcx_1a_g).

The disintegrator was to be shipped to Six Nations in January.

Study seeks to identify causes of weight gain in Aboriginal children

Hill said women interested in participating don't have to be a client of the Birthing Centre.

Mothers are asked to provide comprehensive information about their diet while pregnant, as well as provide a blood sample.

The Aboriginal Birth Cohort study, which is looking into what causes Aboriginal children to develop adiposity (chubbiness), has started in Six Nations in collaboration with McMaster University.

“If we know what the cause is, maybe we can prevent it,” said Trista Hill, who is helping administer the study through the Six Nations birthing centre.

“Maybe it's environmental or genetic.”

The study is the first in Canada, and will be trying to identify what causes children to become chubby during their first three years of life. The ultimate goal is to be able to create prevention strategies.

Increased adiposity is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Researchers are only studying Six Nations women in their efforts to understand pre- and postnatal influences on the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

How feasible is it for Six Nations to potentially bid for and win the operation of the Brantford gaming zone, known as SW3? The answer is somewhat of a game changer. If Six Nations can arm itself with some casino operating expertise and successfully navigate through the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Procurement process, it is very likely that Six Nations could win the bid to operate the zone, and be running the Brantford Casino by 2014.

Tekawennake spoke with OLG spokesperson, Tony Bitonti, who said OLG would absolutely welcome proposals from First Nations. A lack of experience in the management of a casino can be countered by partnering with someone who has that experi-

“We're still ironing out some kinks in the study,” Hills said. Part of the study involves taking samples from the placenta, but that idea is “running into resistance,” she said. “The placenta is sacred, it's the tree of life for the baby,” she explained. “It's supposed to give back to Mother Earth.”

Is PM trustworthy?

Ecological activist and documentary film maker Maude Barlow has been fighting the federal government for along time, usually about relaxing ecological restrictions on the taking of fresh water by oil sands proponents and other corporate friends.

But this time she is championing eight ordinary Canadian citizens who challenged Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives on its robocall manipulation of voters during the last federal election.

Barlow announced that the long awaited judgement by Court Justice Richard Mosley was in and that he ruled that, in fact, “electoral fraud occurred during the 41st General Election.”

Now, one might think a story this big would have been picked up by every mainstream media source in Canada and the United States. Guess they’re just too busy having fun with Toronto Mayor Bob Ford to notice.

What was that again? The Prime Minister of Canada and his ruling party committed election fraud. Why is that not news? Why is this something that only Maude and her organization are making Canada aware of?

Since virtually no one else is talking about it, we thought we’d let you in on what Barlow is telling her people, and anyone else concerned about the integrity, or lack thereof, of the Canadian Prime Minister.

Barlow writes: In a clear and bold statement, Judge Richard Mosley wrote: “I find that electoral fraud occurred during the 41st General Election.”

While his ruling stopped short of annulling election results, this is a powerful victory for Kay Burkhart, Ken Ferance, Yvonne Kafka, Bill Kerr, Sandra McEwing, Tom Parlee, Jeff Reid and Peggy Walsh Craig – the eight brave Canadian voters who launched their legal challenges and the thousands of us who continue to stand behind them.

The judge raised grave concerns that the fraudulent calls “struck at the integrity of the electoral process by attempting to dissuade voters from casting ballots for their preferred candidates. This form of ‘voter suppression,’ was, until the 41st General Election, largely unknown in this country.”

From the outset, the eight applicants argued that the fraudulent robocalls were widespread, targeted and centrally organized – which is precisely what Judge Mosley found.

“I am satisfied that it has been established that misleading calls about the locations of polling stations were made to electors in ridings across the country, including the subject ridings, and that the purpose of those calls was to suppress the votes of electors who had indicated their voting preference in response to earlier voter identification calls,” and that “the most likely source of the information used to make the misleading calls was the CIMS database maintained and controlled by the CPC [Conservative Party of Canada], accessed for that purpose by a person or persons currently unknown to this Court.”

Judge Mosley himself praised the eight applicants for their virtue, while chastising the Conservative MPs. “It has seemed to me that the applicants sought to achieve and hold the high ground of promoting the integrity of the electoral process while the respondent MPs engaged in trench warfare in an effort to prevent this case from coming to a hearing on the merits.”

And Mosley even made special note of their shameful obstructionist tactics, stating, “Despite the obvious public interest in getting to the bottom of the allegations, the CPC made little effort to assist with the investigation at the outset despite early requests. I note that counsel for the CPC was informed while the election was taking place that the calls about polling station changes were improper. While it was begrudgingly conceded during oral argument that what occurred was “absolutely outrageous”, the record indicates that the stance taken by the respondent MPs from the outset was to block these proceedings by any means.”

The applicants have an automatic right to appeal this ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada – and the Council of Canadians is committed to standing with them every step of the way.

Such an unprecedented attack on the most fundamental of our democratic rights demands nothing less.

SECOND CLASS MAIL - REGISTRATION NO. 0490849

Business recognition/registration process Two weeks ago I read with interest a story about council taking over the cigarette quota system from the province. For the life of me I don’t know how taking over the cigarette quota system got unto the council agenda that night. Over the years council has had brief discussions on the issue but nothing substantive.

I wasn’t at that council meeting due ill health but the Trade & Commerce group was at council that night because they were unhappy with the new Business Registration Application council had endorsed. Then I read we might be taking over the cigarette quota system which I find quite strange. At a community meeting held with pretty much the same business people about a year and a half ago, the people were adamant that council have nothing to do with the cigarette quota system.

Now somebody said the Trade & Commerce group are going to expect council to turn the quota system over to them to manage. I would never support turning the quota system over to a private entity. Furthermore, people need to understand that if council does take over the quota system over half the people on the list would be cut off for not having a legitimate business.

As for the new Business Registration Application, the Trade & Commerce business people are making much ado about nothing. The Business Registration Application council passed is just that – an application. But I understand it’s the $25 fee that this group of business people have issue with. We all pay a fee for our status card; we pay a fee to get our picture taken for the status card. We pay a fee to take books out of the library. We have to pay a fee for a lot of things. People don’t seem to have issue with these kinds of fees. The thing is the Business Registration fee is no different. The $25 is simply a cost for a service. It’s not a tax and it’s not extortion as I’m told council was accused.

I fully support the new business registration/application because the previous Business Recognition Application was flawed and had been in place since the early 80’s I think. The previous application asked for the bare-minimum of information and was inadequate to assess a business properly. So I agreed it was time to revamp the whole recognition process.

I’m glad to hear and read that some councillors refused to cave in to the Trade & Commerce’s business peoples’ demands to rescind the motion that accepted the new business registration.

HAUDENOSAUNEE

MOHAWK- ONEIDA- ONONDAGA- CAYUGA- SENECA- TUSCARORA ONONDAGA NATION- VIA BOX 319-B NEDROW NEW YORK 13120

HAUDENOSAUNEE GRAND COUNCIL REITERATES POSITION ON ELECTED COUNCILS For Immediate Release Onondaga, May 16th, 2013 Greetings from the Chiefs, Clanmothers, Faithkeepers, and people of the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy- People of the Longhouse.

The Grand Council of Chiefs would like to take this time to remind its citizens of the Haudenosaunee position on imposed elected Band and Tribal councils and our proposed remedy to standardize governance within the domain of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

From the moment elected councils were imposed in our communities, its primary intent was to abolish the strength and national character of our traditional governments and to assist in the enfranchisement and assimilation of the Haudenosaunee into the national fabric of both Canada and the United States. It has since been the position of the Haudenosaunee that elected councils imposed by either Canada or the United States, exist outside the Circle Wampum. No one person or nation can bring into the Circle another form of governance without the full expressed acceptance of the Grand Council The Circle Wampum makes the line between traditional councils and elected councils clear and distinct; the traditional councils are the original governments of the Haudenosaunee communities/nations handling national affairs, while the elected councils are imposed systems of the Indian Act in Canada and Federal Indian Law in the United States for the administration of colonial policies in each community. Within recent years however, these elected councils have begun commandeering the distinct symbols, philosophies, and national character of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy - thus misrepresenting themselves to external agencies and the limiting the significance of the Haudenosaunee as an original Indigenous system of governance.

Whether it is reference to the Two Row Wampum, treaties, nation-to-nation relationships, or the subtle implication that these elected councils are somehow synonymous with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy or the Traditional Councils; this ambiguity has now perpetuated a false impression and confusion both externally and internally that elected councils are actually a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

Most recently, these elected councils have endeavoured into the international arena, a domain populated by nations and states, through a formal entity called the Iroquois Caucus, National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), and The United Southern and Eastern Tribes (USET).

Since 1977, the Haudenosaunee have pioneered the indigenous presence at the United Nations and other international venues, leading towards the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; a presence the Iroquois Caucus, NCAI, and USET endeavours to supplant by perpetuating itself as the legitimate voice of our communities internationally and will act in the interest of their colonial masters Canada and the United States.

Business recognition/registration process

Continued from page 6 First of all the business recognition/registration has nothing to do with a cigarette quota.

So I don’t know how the cigarette quota system got into the debate. The previous Letter of Recognition council issued clearly stated the letter was not to be used to get a cigarette quota.

Of course I suspect that’s what the business owners used it for.

Secondly to me the business recognition/registration process and keeping the taxman at bay are two separate processes. If Canada Revenue hassles a business owner the Elected Chief writes a letter stating that businesses at Six Nations are tax exempt and that Six Nations business owners will not be tax collectors or something to that extent. My understanding of the business recognition/registration is simply to say this business exists at Six Nations. I fully expect under the new system the same process will be followed if Canada Revenue sniffs around.

The previous business recognition was for some people a means to abuse the system. I noticed that a lot of the businesses recognized disappeared shortly after council gave the business a recognition letter. I presume this happened after the so-called business owner got his or her cigarette quota.

What this abuse does is hurt the legitimate business owners. The more people applying for a cigarette quota the least cartons of cigarettes a business would be allotted. What happens is the people who get a quota who aren’t legitimately in business turn around and sell the quota to the legitimate business owners. So I figured if the business owner had to register his or her business every year this abuse wouldn’t happen or at least be curbed significantly.

When council gets a request for a business recognition council doesn’t just rubber stamp the business. One of the district councillors pays an on-site visit unless the request comes from a business owner whose business has been clearly established and operating and doing business. Phone calls have to be made and appointments scheduled. Depending on the nature of the business all this can be time consuming. So I agreed to the charge of $25.

I understand council agreed to review the new Business Registration Application. That’s fine but I’m not going to be bullied into changing my mind. I think the application is good as it stands. I strongly believe the previous business recognition system wasn’t working in the best interest of our legitimate businesses and that’s why I support the changes.

TEKAWENNAKE

The Grand Council of Chiefs feels that it can no longer remain acquiescent on this matter and must insist that the appropriation of the Haudenosaunee national character cease. Furthermore, the Grand Council of Chiefs must relay to its neighbours that the Iroquois Caucus and its tributary elected councils, along with both the NCAI and USET, do not represent the Haudenosaunee or it's member nations. While the Grand Council of Chiefs feels that it must be firm on this matter, our council reminds elected councils of the Haudenosaunee remedy to standardize governance in our communities under the Kaianere'kō:wa (Great Law of Peace).

In 1991, the Haudenosaunee Chiefs outlined its prerequisites to begin meaningful dialogue on how we can all live by the principles and laws of the Kaianere'kō:wa, within the Longhouse of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. At that time, Haudenosaunee Chiefs asked the elected councils to respect and recognize its authority over eight political areas it historically claims jurisdiction over. While we understand that at this time Canada and the United States only recognize the legitimacy of elected councils, we feel this will never change so long as our own people willfully accept this colonial imposition. The Grand Council of Chiefs remains steadfast to this necessary show of good faith and is prepared to begin the necessary work to help decolonize the political structures in each of our communities.

This issue is challenging in many ways because of the personal impact this has on individuals who have a heartfelt connection to the Haudenosaunee and wish to express it in ways that they think is helpful. What is not realized is that by representing the Haudenosaunee within colonial constructs it furthers the colonial agenda of Canada and United States. The elective systems are foreign entities that are colonizing the culture by misappropriation. Placing our teachings, laws, and symbols within the colonial construct of the elective band council system is morphing decolonization into a meaningless apparition of cultural revitalization and transformation.

The Kaianere'kō:wa is based upon inclusivity, peaceful coexistence, and strength through unity bound by laws that ensure a democratic and consensual decision-making process. The Grand Council of Chiefs makes no judgments of the moral character or sincerity of those individuals who currently serve as elected councillors, but we do encourage them to bring their gifts, skills, and dedication back into the canoe and take shelter beneath the Great Tree of Peace. Bound together by the good tidings of peace and power, we can be stronger than ever.

Dinner and numbers served up at Community Trust AGM

By Stephanie Dearing OHSWEKEN Since 2004, the Six Nations Community Development Trust has received $22,248,550 from Elected Council to distribute to the community. Over that same period of time, the Trust has given away just over half of the money to help sustain community-based projects, at the same time managing to grow the remaining balance.

The information was provided at last Wednesday's Annual General Meeting hosted by the Trust.

With $16 million invested today towards funding future community projects, the Trustees have been accused in the recent past by Elected Councillors (such as Helen Miller and Ross Johnson) of hoarding the money.

Jeremy Sandall, the Trust's investment advi-

sor from Scotia Capital Investment Fund, described the investment approach of the Trustees as “quite conservative,� and suggested the fund would generate more interest income if the Trustees were willing to risk putting more money into speculative types of investments like equities.

Tom Darnay, who acts as Treasurer for the Fund's Board of Trustees, said the investments have brought in a consistent rate of return of approximately 5 percent each year.

Chairperson Tammy Martin said the Trust will periodically bring in an independent person to review how the fund is invested and performing. When a report is tabled, the Trustees adjust their investment approach according to findings. Currently the funds have been split, with the majority invested in bonds, but 30 percent of the funds have been

The Trustees said they

anticipate spending over $700,000 on projects this year, but a portion of that money is earmarked for projects approved last year.

There are 13 projects that

are being funded this year.

The next funding cycle begins at the end of June, when the Trustees begin to assess the latest funding requests. The deadline to ap-

ply is June 28 at 4:30 pm.

The Trust treated community members to a free barbeque supper and an opportunity to win a child's new bicycle as a door prize.

Police Commission changing with the times

By Stephanie Dearing OHSWEKEN

The first public meeting held by the Six Nations Police Commission in years was intended to let Six Nations residents know how the commission works, said Commission Chair Brenda Johnson.

The Commission hosted a one hour information meeting on Saturday evening, inviting the community to attend, although barely a dozen people responded. Those who did attend had an opportunity to learn who currently sits on the Commission and what the Commission does.

While the move by the Commission was positive, there were some questions as to why its members were not prepared (or could not) answer basic enquiries, particularly regarding the financial state of the Six Nations Police Service and the Commission. Commis-

sioners receive an honorarium, community members learned, and meet once a month. But how much that honorarium is was not revealed, and members of the Commission could not say when they would be able to provide financial statements to the community.

According to the last audited financial statements for the police and Commission, as of March 31, 2010 the organization had accrued debt as a result of financing the construction of the new police station on Fourth Line.

The Commission's Terms of Reference, which were made available to community members at the meeting, clearly state in section 3.2 “Following the acceptance of the annual report as presented to the Police Commission by the Chief of Police, the Six Nations Elected Council will be provided a copy of such report.”

The agency, which is made

Johnson said there have only been 2 complaints filed since 2011.

The complaint process has changed somewhat, Johnson

said. There is now a form to be filled out by th complainant, and people only have six months in order to file a complaint regarding police services.

In another change, the Commission opened up one of its seats to bring in a community youth representative, a position that is being filled

now by Danielle Barnett.

Barnett, who acted as the emcee for the meeting, said she is studying police foundations, but did not say which school she was attending.

Johnson said the Commission wants to open its monthly meetings to the public, which has tentatively been scheduled to begin in Sep-

tember. Those who would like to make presentations to the Commission, once the meetings are open to the public, are asked to submit a request in writing one month ahead of time, although Johnson said the public could just attend to observe without needing permission in advance.

Salt can not pay the $50,000 bail ordered by

the courts so a group of his friends are out fundraising in the name of Indigenous sovereignty and self determination seeing the casino as an economic development venture not needing Canadian or US government approval.

According to those supporting “Salt” the casino was sanctioned through the long-

house and the proceeds from it go back to the community directly through a board of directors. But the Akwesasne Elected Council, which run’s its own casino, as well as the federal government and the State of New York do not like it one little bit and called for its closure.

When Joanne Sault, who

owns the Oasis, heard the story she put up the initial $1,500 needed to buy the prizes for the raffle. She was given her investment back but chose to return it to buy other prizes for more fund raising raffles.

The raffle raised $2163, plus the returned investment, for a total of $3,663.

A community college in Northeastern Ontario prides itself on promoting respect and inclusivity. One of the strategic directions from Northern College’s 2013-2016 focuses on Aboriginal Perspectives and is largely centered on collaboration with Aboriginal learners and First Nation communities to develop programming and services geared to support student success.

Northern College actively embeds Aboriginal content into much its diverse curriculum, celebrating the contributions of Aboriginal peoples. Fifteen per cent of this college’s student-base is Aboriginal, which reflects the demographics of the communities Northern College serves.

College statistics indicate that 37% are First Generation Learners, meaning that their parents did not attend college or university.

Moreover, the strategic direction of Aboriginal Perspectives recognizes traditional practices, values, wisdom and experience as a core pillar to ensure quality, accessible education and services for all of their students studying at any one of their four campuses or by distance learning.

Under the guidance of Northern’s Aboriginal Council on Education, the college has developed initiatives to promote holistic education including an Elders on Campus initiative which gives students, staff, faculty and community members the opportunity to engage Elders to share their wisdom and contribute to students’ academic and

personal success. Elders value education, support students in learning, and inspire an enriched environment of cultural understanding and diversity. “We recognize the significant role of traditional knowledge and the importance of passing such teachings to future generations,” says Fred Gibbons, President of Northern College.

Elders are available at Northern’s four campuses located in Kirkland Lake, Haileybury, Timmins (Porcupine) and Moosonee.

Northern’s campus in Timmins is now home to a new, permanent tipi which hosts cultural events such as smudging, Aboriginal teachings, ceremonies and classes that use traditional ways of learning such as sharing circles and storytelling. Both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students can retreat to the tipi for personal and spiritual reflection. Prior to its construction in 2012, Elders blessed the ground it was to be built upon and held a pipe ceremony as part of a cleansing tradition. “It is a place where both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people can gather to share, heal and learn from one another, building a more culturally vibrant Northeastern Ontario,” said Gibbons. The college is steadfast in its effort to respond to the changing needs of communities and employers and sees collaboration as a major driver of any successful initiative. Northern has developed strategic partnerships that support social and economic success and

they were all special and deserving of an ear scratch and a doggie biscuit.

community development throughout the North. The college works with employers and industry and has developed training programs based on their collective needs.

Northern’s 10-week Surface Diamond Driller Assistant Common Core program was established with industry partners to train workers to meet the needs of diamond mining companies throughout Northern Canada. One of the 2009-2010 program intakes boasted a 100 per cent employment rate for its graduates.

Statistics supplied by Northern College state that the college serves over 65 communities and 17 First Nations within its catchment area; the latter range from the Attawapiskat First Nation to the Chapleau Cree and Ojibway First Nations to Weenusk First Nation.

Northern also focuses on distance learning and offers more than 800 web-based programs and courses. In addition to its four campuses, the college also has a distance learning classroom on Moose Factory Island.

Opportunities to volunteer for the Carney E. Johnson Suicide Awareness Concert and National Suicide Awareness Day Refreshments will be provided at meetings If you would like to join M4L or have questions please contact Crystal St-Jean at (519) 445-2143 ext.2244 or cstjean@sixnations.ca

The website states that the college provides flexible programs and learning options, often based on the unique needs of their students’ individual needs.

A low teacher-student ratio and a comprehensive range of support services promote student success. Consequently, the provincial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) indicated a 97.2% employer satisfaction rate with Northern College grads (the second highest in the province) and a graduate employment rate of 87%, nearly 4% above the provincial average. The KPI survey is an annual survey by the Ontario college system that measures the satisfaction of students, graduates and employers.

“Northern College sets itself apart by being large enough to offer a wide range of programs and services but small enough to offer a unique experience and personalized attention. We keep in close contact with the learners, employers and communities we serve,” said Gibbons.

Chiefs loading up for Mann Cup assault

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS Despite missing some of their key players, the 2013 edition Six Nations Pro-fit Chiefs got off to a good start Saturday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena with a 10-6 triumph over the KitchenerWaterloo Kodiaks which was followed by an 18-10 win in Oakville over the newly relocated Rock, Saturday night.

The Chiefs’ unusual fast start serves notice to the Major Lacrosse community across Canada that the Six Nations Chiefs are in it to win it this year.

In the off season, general manager and assistant coach Dwayne Jacobs pulled out all the stops in building what, on paper anyhow, could be the most talented Chiefs team since the back-to-backto-back, triple Mann Cup Champion Chiefs of the mid 1990’s.

Starting in goal was Evan Kirk, Major Series goalie-ofthe-year last season when he played for the Kodaks, and National Lacrosse League’s goalie-of-the-year, He is now a Chief and already has two wins in his column.

Kirk will be part of the two goalie tandum which also includes NLL veteran Brandon Miller, Kirk’s runner-up for

the NLL goalie honours.

That puts Angus Goodleaf, another highly rated professional goalie into a third man situation. But the new Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen and the Chiefs have forged a good working relationship and Goodleaf has signed with the Sr. B club. But Jacobs knows Goodleaf will also be wearing the Chief’s teal colours a few times for this 2013 season.

“With our new Sr. B team, the Rivermen, we didn’t want to carry too many players,” says Jacobs. “Guys don’t like sitting out so it keeps them playing and I hope it works out that way.”

He considers it an arrangement that will help both the Chiefs and the Rivermen.

Other serious additions to the lineup to bolster an already star studded roster include ex-Rebel and Arrow Rodd Squire Jr. and last year’s CLax defensemanof-the-year, Colin Boucher.

Add to that Layola University’s Reid Acton who has also signed a Chiefs contract.

To date, the Chiefs player list looks like a professional lacrosse who’s who.

A sampling includes; Billy Dee Smith (Buffalo Bandits); Colin Doyle (Toronto Rock); Craig Point (Rochester Knighthawks); Rob

Arrows go 4-0 with pair of 14-8 wins

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS

This past weekend’s unofficial celebration of lacrosse at Six Nations culminated in a 14-8 OLA Jr. A win for the Six Nations Arrows Express over the Peterborough Lakers Sunday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Powered by another strong performance by Johnny Powless (4G, 1A), and three goals by Brandon Montour,

the Arrows are now 4-0.

Powless leads the Arrows with 18 points (13G, 5A) in the 3 games he has played.

Next is Randy Staats with 16 points (7G,9A) in three starts.

Friday night the Arrows targeted the Orangeville Northmen in Orangeville defeating them 14-8. The Arrows game 5 of the early Jr. A season goes Wednesday night in St. Catharines against the Athletics.

It took only 35 seconds for Sandy Staats to put the Arrows ahead 1-0 Sunday night cashing in on a Kyle Isaacs set up.

Ryley Quinlan responded at 2:40 unassisted before Johnny Powless, Brandon Montour, Powless again, and Josh Johnson scored in the that order to end the first period with the Arrows in control, 5-1.

Seth Oaks crushed any hopes of a second period comeback for the Lakers with back-to-back goals scored at 3:34 and 3:54 to put the Arrows ahead 7-1.

Peterborough scored it’s second of the game at 6:27 which Jordan Durston answered with a short-hander seconds later.

Turner Evans made it 8-3 with a powerplay marker scored with Danny Vyse in the box for holding.

Powless and Montour closed out the second period with Six Nations ahead 103. Shane Simpson assisted on both while Isaacs added another.

The Lakers did not give up and called upon their proud reputation to conjure up a strong third period scoring four times, but the Arrows

Arrows top scorer Johnny Powless finds twine just as the shot clock runs out in Sunday night’s 14-8 win over the Peterborough Lakers at the ILA. (Photo by Jim Windle) scored four to maintain the lead to the 14-8 final.

Two days earlier, the Arrows downed the Northmen in Orangeville by the same score.

Six Nations one-two punch of Powless and and Staats each collected 10 points in that one — Powless with 6 goals and 4 assists and Staats with 3 goals and 7 assists.

The Northmen kept it close in the first period as the Arrows slowly built up a 5-3 lead in the first 20 minutes with goals by Montour, Staats, Powless, Powless again

and Brendan Bomberry.

The Northmen mounted a tally early in the second period by scoring the first three goals to take a short lived 6-5 lead at 6:28 But it would not stand long. Powless evened the score at 7:59 but Orangeville got that one back on a powerplay with Kyle Isaacs serving two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Six Nations turned up the heat in the second half of the middle frame when Staats notched a powerplay goal at 12:46 and a shorthanded goal at 16:38. Seth Oaks and Quinn Powless scored

before the end of the second to take a 10-7 lead into the third period.

Johnny Powless scored his fourth and fifth goals of the game at 1:18 and 12:23 respectively before Orangeville’s Niall Craravello accounted for the Northmen’s last goal of the game at 14:27.

Powless made it a double hat-trick game at 14:50 and Jordan Durston put the cherry on top from Brendan Bomberry at 15:36.

Warren Hill earned both of this week’s wins in the Arrows net.

Rebels still piling up the points on the road

By Jim Windle HAMILTON / WELLAND

The Welland Warlords were beaten by the repeating Founders Cup Champion Six Nations Rebels Sunday night in Welland but they escaped the debilitating crush other teams around the Jr B loop have been feeling after facing the powerhouse Rebels.

The Warlords lost by a respectable 8-4 score and may have given the Rebels the closest matchup they’ve seen so far this year. By comparison, the Hamilton Bengals suffered through a 17-4 manhandling at the Dave Andreychuk Arena (aka the Hamilton Mountain Arena) Friday night.

Welland’s Jack Fitzgerald scored on Rebels starter Doug Jamieson at the 5 minute mark of the first period.

It would be the only time the Warlords were ahead all evening.

Brodie Tansley evened the score after accepting a long, down floor pass from Jamieson at 12:01 which Danton

Miller and Frank Brown followed up on at 17:45 and 19:26 respectively.

Matt Coulombe popped a late goal in for Welland with two seconds remaining in the period to finish the first 20 minutes with Six Nations leading 3-2.

Adam Barron tied the game at 2-2 at 3:46 of the second period, which is where the score would stay until Jesse Johnson scored shorthanded for the Rebels assisted by Timothy Johnson. Danton Miller made it 4-2 with an unassisted effort at 13:04 and Mitch Green made good on a Rebels powerplay at 19:40 assisted by Austin Staats and Jesse Johnson.

Tyler Longboat pushed that to 7-3 with a powerplay goal at 3:39 of the third. Miller and Ian Martin assisted.

Welland answered at 14:10, but Martin delivered with Six Nations’ third powerplay goal of the night at 18:02 with assists going to Miller and Longboat.

Friday night, a 9-0 second

period transformed what would have been a Hamilton loss into an embarrassment.

Six Nations was leading 5-1 after the first period and after two, it was 14-1. The Rebels geared down a little for the third period allowing Hamilton to score three times while the Rebels added three more.

Mitch Green scored six and added four assists for a 10 point night. Tyler Longboat scored three and assisted on six for nine points. Ian Martin scored two and added The Six Nation Rebels danced to a 17-4 win in Hamilton last week and followed that up with five assists. a 8-4 win in Welland.

Day 1 Results Boys Division results:

Crowley nets five as MLL Hamilton Nationals go 5-0 HAMILTON Kevin Crowley scored a career-high five goals as the Hamilton Nationals won for a franchise best fourth straight time, defeating the Ohio Machine 16-9 at Selby Stadium.

Crowley led the Nationals with six points (5+1), while Joe Walters added seven (4+3). His assist on Crowley’s third of the night was the 100th of his MLL career.

With the victory, the Nats (40) moved into a tie for first place with the Denver Outlaws. Brett Queener made his return after a one-game absence to backstop the Nationals with 15 saves.

Ohio (0-4) was led by Steele Stanwick (2+3), Marcus Holman (1+1+2) and Joe Cummings (3+0). Former Nat Scott Rodgers took the loss in an 11-save effort.

Hamilton broke open the game in the third quarter as Crowley started an 8-0 run.

Ohio had tied the game with a two-pointer from rookie Mar-

cus Holman at 9:15. Crowley scored off a feed from Walters one minute later to give him his fifth of the night, which gave them a lead they would not relinquish.

Hamilton opened the game with back-to-back goals by

ters’ MLL career. Kiel Matisz scored an extra-man goal with 15 seconds left in the first to get Ohio on the board.

In the second, Crowley and Walters continued their assault on the Machine defense. Walters scored his sec-

Crowley and Walters. With the point, Crowley tied the team’s consecutive game points record of 19. The duo hooked up for the third Nationals’ goal at 11:24. The assist was the 100th of Wal-

ond of the night at 1:31 and then set up Crowley’s third of the game at 3:34. Defenseman MJ Kiekebelt got in on the scoring, connecting on the first two-point goal of his career at 5:26 to give the

Nats a 7-2 advantage. Ohio battled back with three goals from Cummings, and Stanwick’s second of the night to climb within one, 7-6.

The third quarter started the same way the game began with a goal by Crowley.

His marker at 4:16 not only gave Hamilton an 8-6 lead, but it gave him four goals to tie his single-game high.

Ohio, however, pulled even on Marcus Holman’s first pro goal, a two-pointer, at 9:15.

Yet, Hamilton answered with goals by Crowley, Cameron Lao-Gosney, Roman LaoGosney and Josh Hawkins to end the third up 12-8. The Nationals got goals from Stephen Keogh, Martin Cahill and a pair by Walters to close out their fourth win of the season.

Hamilton stays on the road as it visits the defending MLL Champion Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday, June 1st in Annapolis, Md. The contest will be televised live on the CBS Sports Network.

SN Minor Lacrosse Confederacy Challenge 2013 local results

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS

The Confederacy Challenge indoor lacrosse tournament brought 36 teams of young future stars and their coaches, officials, and lacrosse parents to the Six Nations community this past weekend in what could be called a celebration of lacrosse.

There were seventy-six games involving Tyke, Peewee, Novice, Midget and Bantam teams from Orangeville, Cambridge, Wallaceburg, Simcoe, Oakville, Brantford, and Six Nation competed in the three day event. Games were played at the Gaylord Powless Arena,

the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, Hagersville Arena and the Caledonia Arena.

Six Nations entrees faired well in all divisions.

The Six Nations Tykes #2 won the “D” division title with a win over Sarnia in a game played at the Caledonia Arena.

Six Nations jumped into a 6-3 lead after the first period and added five more in the second and one in the third to decisively win the game and the title 12-6.

Six Nations goals were scored by Bodee Henry, Easton Thomas, Kallum Martin, Johnny Jacobs, with four goals, Trevor Henhawk, Coby Bomberry with two and Jagger Miller. Whoever

was wearing jersey number 19 also scored a goal.

The Novice division title game was played between two Six Nations teams, Novice 3’s and Novice 2’s with the Novice 2’s winning it 134, also played in Caledonia.

Novice #2’s goal scorers were: Tenley Hill, Easton Johnson, Sylas Doolittle, Keaton Hill with two goals, Ethan Koocler with two goals, Brody Thomas with two, Trydon Laforme-Hess, Lleyton Bomberry-Sowden, Bryson Longboat, and Carl Anderson.

Scoring for Novice 3 were: Rilyn Sandy with two, Dalen Burning and Lucky Longboat.

At the ILA the Six Na-

tions B division was won by a score of 8-1 over Akwesasne.

Six Nations goals were scored by: Spencer Martin, Preston Skye, Cecil Montour, John Miller, Landon Whitlow (2G), Riley Martin and Daxton Wybenga.

It was another Six Nations face-off for the Bantams as the SN #4’s defeated SN# 3’s by the score of 6-2.

Scoring for the winners were: Riley Laforme-Hess, Dylan Blackbird and Jared Hill, all with two goals each.

For Six Nations 3’s, Darris Jacobs and Richard Johnson did the honours.

In the Midget C division, it was Six Nations over Brampton 3-2 with all three Six Nations Midget #3 team goals coming from Daylin Hill.

Also showing well through the tournament were Six Nations Midget #2 who lost the B division to the TNT Renegades by a score of 4-2. Six Nations scorers were Owen Martin and Deryle Porter.

Kitchener defeated Six Nations 3 Peewees 6-2 with Six Nations goals scored by Ethan Vyse and Mack Horchar.

We congratulate event

Sometimes size matters, as the Six Nations Midget #2’s found out against a much bigger New Tecumseh TNT’s team at the ILA. Here, Six Nations’ Joseph Laforme is matched up against TNT’s Sean Caulfield. Despite the size differential Six Nations never backed down an inch and Laforme never stopped his relentless checking against Caulfield all game.

Six Nations Rivermen skin Sarnia Beavers 20-3

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN

The OLA Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen made short work of the Sarnia Beavers Saturday night at the Gaylord Powless Arena, with a 20-3 win, only to be defeated 1311 by the Brooklin Merchants two days later.

This has been the way it’s been going this season so far for the new Rivermen as they take one step forward and one step back to produce a .500 season so far on 4 wins and 4 losses, good for third place behind St Catharines and the Norwood James Gang as of Monday morning.

Sunday at the Luther Vipond Arena, the Merchants got the jump on the Rivermen early, scoring the first four goals.

Stu Hill and Torrey VanEvery cut the lead to 4-2 but Mark Jackson opened the margin again for Brooklin at 14:35.

Six Nations’ Justin Gibson and Stu Hill scored 15 seconds apart to reduce Brooklin’s lead to 5-4.

But Brooklin notched two quick ones themselves at 18:03 and 18:38 to open the wound wider before Jeremy Johns closed out the period at 19:25, at 7-5, for the Merchants.

Wayne VanEvery began the second period with a goal at 2:06 assisted by Travis Elvin to make it 7-6, but Brooklin’s Scott Defrancesco scored 40 seconds later and it was 8-6.

Cory Bomberry, Logan Kane, and Bomberry again cut the Brooklin lead down to size and took a one goal lead by the 10 minute mark of the second frame, but Merchants’ Kirk Gatton and Defrancesco evened and then took the lead 10-9 into the third period.

Richard Hunn and Brett Shaw came trough for the Merchants in the third period to tie and then take the lead back at 12-9 before Travis El-

vin countered for Six Nations to make it 12-10 Dan Ransom scored for the Merchants at 13:56 and Cory Bomberry recorded what would be the last goal of the game from VanEvery and Gibson at 19:02 with his third goal.

It was quite another story Friday night at the Gaylord Powless Arena when the visiting Sarnia Beavers were strung up by the Rivermen 20-3. By the end of the game,Bomberry had collected a pair of goals to go

with his four assists and Cody Johnson had a five point game with a goal and four assists, but pretty well everyone on the Six Nations bench put some numbers onto their statistics. It was 6-0 after the first period, 15-3 after two and the Rivermen padded their lead with five more in the third.

NLL rubber stopper, Angus Goodleaf, of the NLL Buffalo Bandits was in goal for the Rivermen.

Goodleaf chose to sign with the Rivermen to be

their go-to goalie rather than sit on the bench all year with the Major Chiefs who already look strong in goal. He can be called up to the Chiefs whenever they need him, but through a cooperative agreement between the Chiefs and the Rivermen, he will be considered Rivermen’s number one goalie and the Chiefs third call.

The Rivermen paddle into Norwood to face The James Gang Saturday, June 1st in their only game of the coming week.

Chiefs loading up for Mann Cup assault Continued from page 11 minutes. Chiefs goals were scored by Marshall, Marty Hill, Point (2), Colin Boucher, and Tommy Montour.

The Chiefs added six more in the third scored by David Brock, Casey Biernes, Point, Rory Smith, Squire, and Vyse. Craig point put up eight points with four goals and four assists.

They looked a bit tentative at the home opener in the first half at the ILA Saturday night while they got used to each other, but in the second half things began to click.

“It’s a great way to start the season,” said Dwayne Jacobs.

“It’s really one of the first times we have come together as a group. We’ve had a few practices but it’s always slow starting for us as we wait for guys coming off the winter lacrosse season.”

The Pro-fit Chiefs are in Brooklin on Wednesday night before returning to the ILA Sunday afternoon, at 2 pm, to flex their new muscles against the defending Mann Cup Champs, the Peterborough Lakers.

Rez Dogs participated in Masters Lax tournament STAFF The Six Nations Rez Dogs participated in the Midland Masters Lacrosse Tournament in early May and although they registered only one win, that by a 9-5 score over another Six Nations Masters team, the Rez Dogs were pleased with their efforts against such tough competition.

The Dogs were shut out 9-0 by Brampton in their opening game of the tournamentIn the second game, the Six Nations team outscored the Rez Dogs 9-5. Unfortunately, the game sheet for that game was unreadable to attribute goals and assists by the Six Nations. However, scoring for the Dogs were: Rustin Johnson, Dave Lewis and three goals

by Eric Crowley. Scoring five goals for Six Nations, the name appears to be D-Cecil Hill, wearing number 97.

In their third game of the weekend, the Rez Dogs faced Huntsville and came out on the bad side of a 10-3 final score. Picking up points for the Rez Dogs were Greg Garlow from Dave Lewis, Eric Herron from Greg Garlow and Rustin Johnson, and an unassisted goal by Brian Stark.

Saving their big win for the end, the Rez Dogs defeated Peterborough in the Dogs last game of the event by a score of 7-4.

Dan Maracle scored first with 11 minutes remaining in the first period.

He was assisted by Creg Garlow and Eric Herron.

In Loving memory of my dear sister, Maxine Carolyn Hess, passed away May 28, 1987.

If I was given one wish And it was to come true I’d wish for another chance To sit and visit with you.

We’d remember the good times, And sad times that we had, But when we really think of it Life for us was never sad.

I’ll treasure our closeness We had while you were here No one can ever take that away Cause, Sis, you were always so near.

You never let things get you down You always held your head up high And always, when I needed a shoulder You were right there by my side.

I know this wish cannot be granted Because from life you had to depart But I cherish all our memories, Sis Of you forever in my heart.

If only you knew how much I Miss you, Mae. You were a Mom to me, and I will treasure That forever.

Thank you
