VOTE √ HAZEL JOHNSON SIX NATIONS COUNCILLOR

Elected Council Chief Candidate Steve Williams has big plans for change

I am asking for your support and vote on November 4th, 2023 General Election. I have been an Elected Councillor for the last three Council Terms. I have given commitment, responsibility and dedication to this role on behalf of the Six Nations Community. In all matters I will show respect, understanding, and dignity in my endeavour to always seek fairness and support for our people.

OUR FUTURE LOOKING AHEAD ACCOMPLISH Six Nations needs to be mindful of food sustainability for all the people on Six Nations of the Grand River. The establishment of this is in progress and needs council’s support. Our world is in a major crisis and this project is working to be in operation on behalf of our community and feed the people.

Under the Truth & Reconciliation Commitment, Language & Culture would be restored for the people. Kawenni:io has worked tirelessly for the last 35 years to get a school. Teaching children full immersion from kindergarten onward ensures the child will become a fluent Native Language speaker. I will continue to work hard with Kawenni:io until funding is secured to build their school.

Six Nations needs to be assertive with Indigenous Service Canada (ISC) to ensure that sufficient funding is provided to this First Nation. We need to ensure our roads, infrastructure, education and all other necessities is sufficient and based on adequate funding through a fair ISC funding formula. That would determine a rightful amount for large First Nations with higher population counts. Six Nations Reserve is the largest and is not funded adequately with the current calculation method.

Steve Williams, President of Six Nations Indigenous tobacco manufacturer Grand River Enterprises, is running for elected chief. He is shown here in March 2022 making a quarter million dollar donation to the Six Nations Language Commission on behalf of GRE. Williams says part of his vision for Six Nations is to see any tobacco excise tax dollars returned to the community from the federal government. Story on Page 2.

One of the most prominent figures in this year’s general election at Six Nations says he loves the community too much to “watch it go down the drain”.

That’s why he’s running for Chief in the November election.

“In the past four years, I haven’t been impressed with this council,” Williams said in an interview with the Two Row Times.

Steve Williams, one of two candidates for Six Nations Elected Council’s top spot as chief, says other than elected council’s recent annual general meeting this past August “nothing was done” by the current council.

Williams, who sat as the elected Chief in the late 90s, said he’s concerned about the council deficit and if one were to take into account the number of employees the band has swelled to - over 1,000 - he wonders where the money is coming from to pay them.

Which, he said, brings him another concern ensuring band employees are paid properly and equitably.

He said he’s “talked to a lot of people” and the staff

at Six Nations “isn’t too happy with this particular council” and that they aren’t being paid accordingly.

“Nobody’s watching this stuff and that really gets me uptight,” said Williams.

“I’ve heard so many horror stories. I love this community too much. I’m not going to watch it go down the drain.”

In the meantime, Williams said he is glad to see Six Nations roads finally getting fixed.

He wants to continue to work in getting the whole community hooked up to the water system from the Ohsweken water treatment plant.

And as the president of Canada’s largest tobacco manufacturing firm, Grand River Enterprises, Williams says he will work to see the hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes the company gives the government every year to come back to Six Nations.

It’s a role he said he will take a leave of absence from if he gets elected.

Williams is also concerned about helping veterans and seniors get the benefits they deserve to live a comfortable life.

And since the Covid pandemic, Six Nations Elected Council has continued to meet via Zoom

or online meetings and he plans to open the council chambers to the community once again.

“I think there should be more accountability, not just sit at home and get paid for two meetings a month,” he said.

Housing and establishing relationships with the federal and provincial governments are part of his platform as is getting the funding to build a private school for Kawennio/Gaweniyo language immersion school.

“I don’t understand why it hasn’t been funded to this date,” said Williams of the private language school.

During his term as chief in the 90s, Williams worked to secure funding for three local elementary schools and wants to help secure funding for a language school.

Williams also hopes to see a more cohesive council work together.

“What I’ve heard and seen, the councillors bully each other. I don’t want to see that.

You’re voting on something you don’t like that’s your opinion; move on to the next issue.”

Williams is also open to forging a relationship with the Six Nations Confederacy Chiefs Council, having been asked to be a tradi-

tional chief himself in his younger years, he said.

“I’ve been a member of Six Nations all my life, Mohawk Wolf clan. I was going to be a Mohawk chief, and that’s why I think I can do that.”

He said he wants the two councils to work together for what Six Nations “really needs. The government loves to see us separated.”

Williams said he has no issues with the Confederacy Chief’s Council’s Eight Points of Jurisdiction.

“If you want to be governing body, I have no problem with that. I would like to work together.”

However, Williams said, people have to vote for change.

“If you don’t vote you don’t have a right to complain.”

When Williams was elected chief he said council was in a $1.6 million deficit and during his term, the band came back into a surplus.

He said he has a “huge history” of community involvement on Six Nations.

Sherri-lyn Hill-Pierce, a current elected councillor who is competing with Williams for the Chief title, did not return requests for an interview by press time.

Video of Six Nations Police arrest raises allegations of excessive force DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Comments have been turned off on all Six Nations Police posts on Facebook after a video circulated online over the weekend showing local police in a heated scuffle with a group of Six Nations youth.

The age of the youth is not disclosed but some online sources have identified the police officer in question and said the youth is a teenager.

The officer in question can be seen repeatedly hitting a man on the ground with a closed fist with many online commenters identifying both the man and youth in question, saying the young man being hit is a Six Nations teenager.

One commenter on Facebook said the youth was intoxicated but chastised police for repeatedly hitting the youth while he lay on the ground.

The video is blocked

from viewing on Facebook due to its graphic nature unless viewers purposely override the graphic warning to view the video, which was originally uploaded to a local Six Nations discussion group over the weekend.

Some local residents referred to the video and described it as “unnecessary excessive force”.

Six Nations Deputy Chief Tim Bomberry told TRT the video depicted an arrest of young offenders after an anonymous call came into place about a suspicious vehicle at the Skate Park near the arena in Ohsweken on Monday, October 9 just before 9:00 p.m..

The caller reported people screaming and possible drug use at the skate park. Officers arrived at the scene to find a vehicle with unattached plates fastened to it and 6 occupants of the vehicle.

Bomberry said a male exited the vehicle and was showing signs of impairment by alcohol or drugs.

He was informed by police

that he was being placed under arrest for being intoxicated in a public place.

Bomberry said the male resisted arrest and as a result force was used in order to complete the arrest. Other males then attempted to interfere and prevent the arrest of the accused and they were also arrested.

Bomberry said the accused are young offenders and cannot be identified. They have all been charged with a number of criminal offences including obstruction, assaulting police with intent to resist arrest, failure to comply with an undertaking and public intoxication.

A formal complaint with regard to excessive force was not filed wit the police but Bomberry said one is expected. He says Six Nations Police have reached out to Hamilton Police Services to conduct the investigation into the allegations of excessive force. The officers involved have not been suspended.

2RO MEDIA Festival 2023 a visual spectacle and sonic experience Immerse yourself in Six Nations art and storytelling With more Haudenosaunee and Six Nations artists working in film and media today than ever before, 2RO MEDIA Festival's

exhibition of Ne:Kahwistará:ken Kanónhsa’kówa Big Silver House for the People is a large-scale immersive media exhibition

you won’t want to miss.

The festival runs Oct. 19 to 23 at Thru the Red Door and will feature media arts installations, film

and video, audio projects, performance, spoken word, artist panels and more; directed by Jackson 2bears and produced by

January Rogers.

“There are so many Six Nations filmmakers here that need an opportunity to be unified,” said

Rogers in an interview last week. “If there is not a permanent physical space for that right now then something like this festival gives people working in film and media a home to show their work.”

Rogers said one of the most fulfilling parts of producing an event such as this on Six Nations is seeing all of the opportunities it creates for hard-working Six Nations filmmakers.

“Seeing the community learn of and become more aware of the amazing, talented filmmakers that are here makes it worth all the planning, organizing and hard work,” said Rogers.

All screenings are going to take place in Chiefswood Park where many of the filmmakers will be in attendance to answer audience questions and share more about their films and work. Aside from the lineup of artists, singers, filmmakers and performers showcasing at the event, guests may also visit a multimedia panoramic installation that is sure to be a visual and educational spectacle.

"The installation consists of a 34-foot panorama screen, using multiple video projectors to create an immersive environment, with 14-channel surround audio,” said Rogers. “This artwork is a fictional re-telling of the Haudenosaunee Creation Story, with a cyclical narrative that weaves through the past, present, and future.”

Rogers described the installation as a visual spectacle and a sonic experience.

“It’s surround sound on steroids,” she said. “Walk through the screens.

Immerse yourself in the experience. Take in the digital media taking place all around you.”

The event is free and supported by imagineNATIVE. There is a free shuttle-bus running from Toronto to Six Nations on Oct. 23. Visit the festival’s website for the bus schedule and map.

How to help STEM students fulfill their potential

By Jace Koblun Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classes are now integral components of students’ educations.

Increasingly students are drawn to STEM education, including pursuing STEM pathways in high school, because of the doors such an education can open in the future.

According to the United States Department of Labor, there were nearly 10 million workers in STEM occupations in 2021, and this total is projected to grow by almost 11 per cent by 2031 — roughly two times faster than the total for all occupations.

STEM subjects may not come so easily for some students, who at times may feel disengaged from the coursework. That doesn’t mean students should give up. Even if STEM classes do not come easily, one still could have what it takes to

be involved in science or engineering, and eventually land STEM jobs. Here are ways to mold great STEM students.

Recognize that STEM is more exacting: Unlike other classes in liberal arts education that are highly subjective, STEM involves answers that are exact.

There is no wiggle room for subjectivity, so students must get in the habit of checking their work and ensuring their answers are correct. Students may need some assistance from tutors or parents to recognize common mistakes and learn how to proof their work. This fosters a greater attention to detail.

Show the work: Teachers often require students to show the computation involved in reaching a mathematical conclusion, or the reasoning behind how an answer is derived.

While the answer may be correct, points may be deducted for not show-

ing the work. Students should make it a habit to be transparent with their calculations so educators can point out where they were right and where they went wrong.

Recognize your own sci-

entific tendencies: Those who are science-minded tend to make good observations, base claims on evidence, express curiosity, and make connections between complex ideas.

Some students may not

think they are intellectual enough to be involved with STEM, but after recognizing these traits in themselves, they may find they have more in common with great scientists than they first imagined.

Maintain good notes: Get the most out of courses by taking excellent notes, as the best instruction often comes from lectures and class time. Review notes regularly and practice work frequently.

MP Leslyn Lewis meets with the Mohawk University

By Benjamin Doolittle UE Tsi:kanata’here, October 17, 2023 - In a noteworthy meeting of historical and cultural significance, Dr. Leslyn Lewis, Member of Parliament for Haldimand—Norfolk, recently visited the HM Royal Chapel of the Mohawks to engage in dialogue with the Mohawk University residents and the local community. The chapel, renowned for its rich history, served as a poignant backdrop for discussions on community concerns, aspirations, and the importance of cultural competency.

At the heart of the meeting was the community's comprehensive objection to the Six Nations Band Council's claims and actions. The discussions aimed to shed light on these matters and to

ensure that their historical and legal positions are not only acknowledged but thoroughly understood.

A central concern revolved around the issue of money held in trust. This complex legal maneuver seeks to alter inherent rights, converting land from exclusive use and enjoyment into a subject of taxation and control. It is a matter of utmost importance to the Mohawk University and the Mohawk Peoples of Grand River, as it pertains to their identity, history, and the preservation of their cultural heritage.

The Mohawk University firmly maintains that the Province of Ontario and the Canadian government operate within these lands without consent or proper Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement, potentially leading

to arbitrary detention and arrests. Without a reciprocal agreement, there exists an inherent risk for those who enter these lands without consent.

The Haldimand Treaty of 1779 and the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784, two historical agreements, provide the foundation for the Mohawk Nation of Grand River's sovereignty and land rights within the Grand River territory.

These agreements set the precedent for their unique legal status, which is integral to their culture and identity.

The Mohawk people have always valued the concept of exclusive use and enjoyment within their lands, and they have never opened these lands for public use. According to law, the roads within this territory are designated exclusively for the

Mohawk people's use and enjoyment, as outlined in their historical treaties.

However, the imposition of Ontario legislation and presumption poses a significant risk, raising concerns about road safety liability, arbitrary detention and arrests.

The community underscores that, while enjoying their lands, all liability must be waived for the Mohawk people, regardless of the risks created by Ontario legislation and presumption.

The Mohawk University assert that these lands should be recognized as sovereign territory with a unique legal standing.

MP Leslyn Lewis expressed her interest for the Mohawk University's initiatives, which include a driver's program tailored to community members' specific needs and a housing initiative.

The driver's program seeks to empower the community with essential skills for responsible driving, contributing to enhanced mobility and self-sufficiency. The housing initiative aims to address housing needs without causing undue hardship to existing property owners, emphasizing cooperation and peaceful coexistence.

During the meeting, MP Leslyn Lewis confirmed her intention to contact Larry Brock as a courtesy since she was in his “riding”. Larry Brock, however, remains unresponsive to date.

Participants hope to ensure that not only MPs but also various community stakeholders are well-informed about their unique position.

The Mohawk University has made extensive efforts to communicate

its intentions, which have reached various organizations and individuals, including the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Solicitor General, where extensive discussions with OPP Indigenous liaisons have taken place. Communication has also extended to the Ministry of Transportation, the Chief of Police for Brantford and Six Nations, CN Police, federal authorities, the military, and all Members of Parliament along the Grand River, among others.

The community is committed to open dialogue, cultural competency, and the pursuit of a prosperous and harmonious future. The story of this meeting serves as a testament to their dedication to achieving these goals.

Safety protocols protect hunters

By The Staff Hunting is big business in North America. In 2017, more than 15 million people hunted in the United States. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports that sportsmen and women contribute nearly $9.4 million to the economy every day.

Millions of hunters take to forests and fields every year. Seasoned hunters and novices alike can benefit from revisiting some safety procedures before their first outing this season.

Weather: Weather should be a consideration whenever people spend a significant amount of time outdoors. Hunters typically leave before dawn and arrive home after dusk.

Hypothermia is a very real risk for hunters who may be out in snow or wet conditions. It’s possible to get hypothermia by overdressing as well. Sweating and then being exposed to dropping temperatures puts people at risk for hypothermia. Hunters

should dress in layers with moisture-wicking materials and a water-repellant outer layer. In addition, check the weather forecast before heading out as a last-second precautionary measure.

Firearm safety: Firearm safety is a critical component of safe hunting.

Hunters use rifles, shotguns and other firearms.

Each gun is different, so hunters need to familiarize themselves with new firearms before using them. The following are some additional firearm safety tips, courtesy of State Farm Insurance and Southern Land Exchange.

- Always treat a firearm as if it is loaded.

- Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

- Only point at what you plan to shoot.

- Clearly identify your target and what is beyond it.

- Fire within the zoneof-fire, which is the 45-degree area directly in front of each hunter.

- Firearm chambers

should be emptied when guns are not in use.

- Use appropriate ammunition.

- Never modify or alter the gun.

- Never cross a fence, jump a ditch or climb a tree with a loaded gun.

- Never rely on a gun’s safety.

Additional safety tips: Hunters should always let others know where they will be when leaving in the morning. If something should happen, people back home can alert authorities if something goes awry. Always check equipment and maintain it properly. Equipment should include gear coloured in hunter’s orange.

That extends to dogs if they are accompanying hunters on a trip. This makes hunters more visible to other hunters.

Also, carry a first aid kit, a charged mobile phone or a satellite phone to maintain contact with others in case of emergencies.

How to prepare for a child’s first hunting trip

By The Staff Millions of individuals across the globe are avid hunters. The passion many of those people have for hunting began on their first childhood hunting trip, and countless hunters fondly recall this milestone moment in their lives.

If there’s a first time for everything, parents know that kids’ initial forays into any activity comes with ups and downs.

Hunting is no exception to that trend, but parents can consider these measures as they prepare their youngsters to go hunting for the first time.

Emphasize safety: Safety is of the utmost importance on any hunting

trip. Kids should be aware of all safety protocols pertaining to their guns and the hunting grounds.

Hunter’s education courses can teach kids about hunting safety, but parents can quiz youngsters in the days leading up to the trip to reinforce safety protocols.

Explain how hunting trips typically unfold: Giving kids an idea of how a hunting trip may unfold is another good idea. Explain the timing of the trip and why it’s beginning when it is. Kids without such knowledge may be less enthusiastic about early morning hunting excursions if they don’t understand why they need to get out of bed early on a day off. But they might

Some tips on preparing youth for their first time out hunting.

Safety is an important conversation during this milestone event.

be more excited if they recognize they’re more likely to see wildlife and enjoy a successful trip if

they’re willing to sacrifice sleeping in.

Bring some extra activities for kids to do: Screens

are a no-no, as they could deter wildlife. But hunting requires patience, which is not exactly a virtue many youngsters possess.

So bring some books along or encourage kids to keep a diary of their first trip, describing it in detail so they have something to look back on as they get older.

Purchase comfortable hunting attire: Kids will likely be wearing new attire on their first trip, so parents should have them try the clothing on prior to the trip. When shopping for hunting clothing, make sure it meets all safety standards and is functional for hunters, but don’t overlook comfort. Hunting involves a lot of waiting, and the trip will be more

enjoyable for everyone if kids are comfortable throughout the slow periods.

Recognize the day could be emotional: A child’s first hunting trip can be an emotional roller coaster, as kids may feel excited, bored, nervous, sad, and even guilty at any point during the day. Parents must allow kids to express any of these emotions during the day and emphasize that it’s alright to express their emotions.

A child’s first hunting trip is a milestone moment. Parents can take steps leading up to the trip to ensure their children are ready for what’s to come.

2 wins and 2 losses open Corvairs 2023-24 season

By 2RT Staff with notes fro profitcorvairs.gojhl

CALEDONIA — Family, friends and fans of the Caledonia Pro-fit Corvairs have returned once again to the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre (HCCC) as the Corvairs resume with business as usual.

On Saturday, October 7, the Corvairs took on the Port Colborne Sailors at the HCCC. Unfortunately, a game sheet was not provided to the Corvairs website, but a final winning score of 4-2 was had by the Corvairs.

On Sunday, October 8, the Corvairs hosted the Fort Erie Meteors within the HCCC to see a learning curve in the game. The first period saw no goals, but two penalties, one for either side. In the second, the Corvairs secured a lead with a goal from Zack Lewis, from Dylan Wardell, fed from Sami Douglas. The Meteors put one up, before Zachary Naherne scored for the Corvairs to maintain the lead with three minutes left in the period.

In the third however, the Corvairs were unable to secure responses to the Meteors goals, who earned two to close the game 2-3. This delivered the Corvairs first loss of the season.

But after an initial loss to the Sailors in their first seasonal match, the Corvairs came back to return the favour within the Vale Centre on Friday, October 13. In the first period, Jayden Lammel broke the scoring with a pass from Nathan Duplessis, from Markus Dempewolf. The Sailors responded minutes later, but the Corvairs persisted with another goal earned

by Zack Lewis, fed from Owen Rainey from Steve LaForme. After assisting,

Nathan Duplessis did some scoring of his own, fed from Markus Dempewolf with four minutes left in the period. The Sailors offered another goal, but Markus Dempewolf put one of his own away fed

by Jayden Lammel and Nathan Duplessis.

In the third period, beginning with a 4-3 lead, the Corvairs secured their victory with a goal three minutes in by Sami Douglas, fed from Zachary Naherne and Owen Rainey. To close out the game 6-3, Brayden Russell scored from a pass by Dylan Wardell.

On Saturday, October 14, the Hamilton Kitty B’s visited the HCCC for a very close game against the Corvairs. The Corvairs broke scoring in the first period with two goals, one by Sami Douglas from Noah Baltzer, and a second from Markus Dem-

pewolf fed from Will Bray and Zachary Naherne.

This would close scoring for the Corvairs, as in the second the B’s earned two, and in the third period, another. This brought the Corvairs second loss of the season 2-3 to the B’s.

Their next away games will see them visit the Vale Centre again to face the Saillors on Friday, October 20, then another match up with the Fort Erie Meteors on Saturday, October 21 at the Fort Erie Leisureplex, then on Friday, October 27, the Corvairs will visit the Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre to face the St. Catharines Falcons.

Finally returning home on Saturday, October 28, the Corvairs will host St. Catharines within the HCCC at 7:30 p.m., EST, for a rematch from the night previous.

On October 13, Hockey Canada also put new dressing room policy in place for the season which is meant to make the locker room more inclusive.

The new policy requires minor hockey players to always wear their base layer in the dressing room, before or after being on the ice. If players under 18-years-old must use a washroom to do change into or out of their base layer: this policy was cited as a deterrent to bullying, harassment and body-shaming.

Haudenosaunee rejoice as lacrosse is included in 2028 Olympics By 2RT Staff with notes from worldlacrosse.sport LOS ANGELES — A year-long vision of many lacrosse supporters to return the sport of lacrosse to the Olympic stage has been realized, with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approving lacrosse’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles on Monday, October 16.

The approving vote on Monday was made by the IOC Session, inclusive of 99 international sport leaders, was the last step of a formal process initiated by the LA28 Organizing Committee last year to add new sports to the Games in Los Angeles.

According to a release made by National Lacrosse League, the Olympic style of play will see a hybrid game format with sixes.

Sixes has unique rules that meld both box and field lacrosse into a hybrid style of play. Some basics

include: a 6 versus 6 format paired with a 30-second shot clock, with games played outdoors, a field size of 70 by 36 meters. An additional change to the game is no specialist positions, only runners and goalies.

“The fast-paced, backand-forth style of the game brings an electric energy that will surely entice new fans worldwide,” wrote the NLL. In response, the Haudenosaunee Nationals

released a statement via Facebook that reads as the following: “The Haudenosaunee (Confederacy of Six Nations), as the originators of the game of lacrosse, are incredibly pleaser with the return go lacrosse to the Olympics. Lacrosse is America’s first sport, not played by over 80 countries of the world.

‘This is truly exciting and humbling news,’ said Leo Nolan, Executive director

of the Haudenosaunee Nationals. ‘The Hard works of the international lacrosse community for including lacrosse as an Olympic sport is a wonderful example of respect and cooperation. It is humbling because when we realize the long history of lacrosse, we see that our efforts have created a new turning point for lacrosse.

We con only move forward, horning all of the players of this great game.’

All-American goalie (Syracuse 1958) Oren Lyons of the Onondaga Nation, and one of the founding members of the Haudenosaunee Nationals Lacrosse Program said ‘we believe that lacrosse is also a form of healing and by participating in International Lacrosse. We have built strong ties to other peoples, other countries and other cultures. These experiences have enriched our players and made us even more aware of how lacrosse is bringing the na-

tions of the world together in celebration of peace and friendship.’

We congratulate all who helped make this possible and offer our total support to the Olympic lacrosse movement.

‘We are grateful for the tireless commitment and vocal advocacy of so many people from around the world who helped make this possible,’ noted Claudia Jimerson, GM of Haudenosaunee NAtional’s Women’s Team Operations.

‘And for the support of World Lacrosse, the LA28 Organizing Committee and the International Olympic Committee.’

The Haudenosaunee have worked hard over the last four decades to help spread lacrosse around the world, and along with international advocates from the United States, Canada, England, Australia, Ireland and many more.

We have finally achieved an important turning point to

Orange Jersey Project sees 700 Team Registers

By 2RT Staff with notes from orangejerseyproject.ca KAMLOOPS, B.C. — As of October 12, the Orange Jersey Project has 700 Team registers secured.

According to its website, the Orange Jersey Project was designed to encourage action for truth and reconciliation and to help educate athletes about the true history of the Indian Residential school system in Canada.

In the 2021-2022 season, Phase One, the Orange Jersey Project saw the project release to over 10,000 youth across Canada with 500 hundred teams across Canada receiving orange Jerseys.

Phase Two completed in 2022, and Phase Three is currently live for registration as of September 30, 2023, the 10-year anniversary of Orange Shirt Day. Registration is open for all Minor Hockey Teams U9-U18 and the project will be accepting the first 1000 Teams.

The 2024-2025 season is in planning stages to release other sports for youth jerseys.

This leaves 300 spots still open for registra-

have an Indigenous-created sport be recognized at the international level.

Haudenosaunee teams played in the 1904 and 1932 Olympics. Our players won the Bronze medal in St. Louis in 1904 and participated in an officially sanctioned pre-Olympic tournament in 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

We welcome this opportunity to build upon that historic legacy, and we have been heartened by the support we have received from the Los Angeles 2028 Committee for our inclusion.

We would be thrilled to be involved in the games.”

According to ESPN, five sports were added to the LA28 Olympic Games by the IOC on Monday including cricket, flag football, baseball and softball, squash and, of course, lacrosse.

In the beginning, the colour orange was only to be worn on September 30 but is now used as a marker 365 days a year.

"Orange has become a national symbol to raise awareness and support education about the Indian Residential Schools in Canada. As we work our way to Truth and reconciliation with the concept that every child matters, we can come together to heal as one,” reads the OJP website.

Orange jerseys donned by minor hockey players across Canada now has hundreds of teams signed up for the awareness campaign to draw attention to Indian Residential Schools and the tragedy of abuse towared Indigenous boys and girls committed by the Government and Churches in Canada.

tion.

The inspirational idea of the Orange Jersey Project was born from Tyler Fuller, from the Kawatoose First nation located in Saskatchewan, out of his experience watching the devastating news that came from Kamloops Indian Residential school, and unmarked graves.

The Orange Shirt Society (OSS) and the Orange Jersey Project (OJP) have evolved into nationally recognized and impactful organizations. With assistance from Canadian

Tire, OSS and the Orange Jersey Project have been fortunate to have minor hockey teams across Turtle Island participate and receive free jerseys.

Teams wear orange practice jerseys as a way to educate themselves and others with the quote, “Why Orange?”.

The OSS and the Orange Jersey Project have also developed a Learning Module System for young Indigenous and Non Indigenous athletes to learn and educate themselves from coast to coast.
