First “IndigiCON” hoped to be a repeat Over 200 visitors come to Oneida Community Centre for expo celebrating Indigenous comic books CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

ONEIDA OF THE THAMES — The anticipated comicon dubbed the first “Indigicon” found it’s venue on Sunday of last week at the Oneida Community Centre, just a half hour drive from London.

After the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians published their own indigenous hero comic, the duo behind the event brought it to life as they both understood the fun behind comicons — and the expenses.

“There are a lot of First Nations Peoples that don’t get a chance to come to comicons because they’re so far, they’re expensive, there’s the cost of travel and even myself, I haven’t been to one because of how expensive they are,” said co-organizer Kira Flynn.

Flynn said that the idea was brought to her by her partner and the opportunity to help wasn’t something she could pass up.

Organizers Ira Timothy and Kira Flynn pose in front of the Oneida Community Centre Hall as the first Indigicon was named a success.

PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

The event itself garnered over 200 visitors who were treated to several cosplayers, games and prizes.

“Just having it here is a nice way of bringing community together,” she said. “At first it was a little

nerve wracking because it was a little slow at the start, but then we got a good trickle of people coming in.”

After comic book fan Ira Timothy brought the idea to Flynn, he wanted to cut costs completely for

indigenous visitors.

“When we first started out planning we wanted to have a convention that anyone could attend, and make it free to indigenous people,” said Timothy.

“A lot of cons are really expensive, especially fan

expos, which are like $80 for a single day pass and once you get in you have to pay for food, autographs, photographs and merchandise.”

As the event began with only two vendors, he said that it also grew in size.

“It just started getting bigger and bigger and it bloomed, so it went from a smaller con to one of a bigger size,” he said.

Timothy said that that doesn’t include transportation and lodging costs.

He said that his work with his partner Flynn found success in previous endeavours and did again with this event.

“It went very well, but a little hectic,” he said. “It was important for us to choose a location inside and indigenous community, because then it would be something they could call their own and something they wouldn’t have to go so far away for.”

Timothy explained that the con even served as a learning experience as they utilized several cosplayers, including a new indigenous hero Nurse Hope, to act out a skit against bullying.

This year's event was named a success and it is hoped that the event will continue to grow and return better and bigger for next year.

YORK — OPP is investigating and are warning the public after a fraud victim was scammed for approximately $140,000 in an apparent lottery scam.

AN OPP investigation determined that in March 2018 the victim was notified they won $1.4 million in a US Powerball lottery.

Police say the fraudster told the victim that they would be required to pay twenty per cent of the winnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as per government regulations.

The victim made payment instalments since March that have accumulated to $140,000 before a family member noticed the transactions and contacted police. An investigation is ongoing. Anyone aware of any similar suspicious fraud activity or with more information is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers.

TWO ROW TIMES

AUGUST 22ND, 2018

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

It isn't 1940 EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN If the term “settler” makes you uncomfortable, being referred to as “the natives” is likewise.

During production day I am seated at the back of the room with my desk against the wall. I have a photo frame, a decorative coffee mug and an old calendar for 2017 placed neatly on the rim. There are two stacks of papers on either side of me and my drawer is full of books and resources. All of our writers and editorial team are seated in this room, including our head editor.

On a fine but overcast Tuesday, an old settler man with white hair came to visit my editor with his granddaughter.

Usually, when an older settler comes in to our place of work it is because they want something — which he did.

As I listened at the back of the room, the jist of what he wanted was some way to reach “the natives” and make them not want to destroy or defile an intended painting of Sir Frederick Haldimand. In other words, he wanted our paper to let “the natives” know that if they had any issues with a painting of Sir Haldimand that they could let him know ahead of time as to avoid any protest.

It’s a queer thing, you know.

To listen to someone speak about your people

in the same way that a scientist would speak about a group of test subjects was as irritating as you might expect.

It put into perspective that settlers from a previous generation grew up in an era where political correctness wasn’t the norm.

Thus, although he didn’t say it aloud, his insinuation was that because my editor was wearing a suit and seemingly agreeable, my editor wasn’t one of “those natives.” Unbeknownst to him, my editor was a protester at Kanohstaton.

In other words again, this settler came into my place of work without even knowing anything about our paper or the people and hands behind it. He said that he seen our paper once before and thought it was small, but that he thought he could use it to get his message out to the people of Six Nations and the Mississaugas.

Now as a reporter and editor, I do not find what he brought forth to be news, but rather a call for a way to manipulate readers into respecting the idea of a painting of yet another settler history icon.

Soon, this man brought up the fact that as a history buff he had found that Indigenous children are more likely to be educated in the history of Canada, while non-Indigenous chil-

dren are not. Thus, he hopes that a painting of Sir Haldimand will help educate.

As ignorant as he was, he was not ignorant to the education of our children — I’ll give him that. But he was ignorant as to why Indigenous kids today are educated about history.

If you ever come across a person that wants to know about you and your people as an Indigenous person, you’re expected to know. However, if you ask a person of European descent the same types of questions, the majority draw blanks on their own history. So of course Indigenous children focus on being educated in those ways, as do their teachers if they are taught on reserve: a part of it is to ensure that they know about themselves for moments when their knowledge will defend them.

So I sat quietly and as they were finishing up their good byes I cleared my throat. The man jumped.

“Oh, there’s a lady here. I didn’t even see you!” he exclaimed.

I forced a smile and replied that I was working.

I mean why yes, kind sir, women work these days. I daresay that you were not only unaware of your racism, but unaware of your surroundings and who, exactly, was listening to you.

Correction Notice There was an error in a story published last week estimating the amount HDI paid Lynda Powless for her work as a media liaison as somewhere under the $200,000 mark.

In fact, Hill stated the total cost of media services paid yearly by HDI amounted to $200,000.

Powless recieved a portion of that but Hill did not disclose a specific amount.

Accusations of ‘treason’ prompt Men’s Fire to respond Bill Monture and Wilf Davey reject letter seeking to silence their voices NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Two Six Nations of the Grand River men say they will continue to speak up and work to help the people of the community, despite opposition.

Bill Monture and Wilfred Davey spoke with Two Row Times, accompanied by the Men’s Fire official wampum holder Moe Sandy to address the recent publishing of a letter declaring Monture and Davey no longer speak for the Men’s Fire.

The letter was hand delivered to Monture and also appeared in the Six Nations newspaper the Turtle Island News on August 8 as a letter to the editor with no name credited to the writer.

An unknown writer alleges “Bill Monture, Wilf Davey n such others that follow these two men” have brought “great shame n embarrassment” and committed “treason against the Kaianerenko’:wa”.

The letter wages Davey and Monture’s recent action to launch a class action lawsuit against the Haudenosaunee Development Institute as evidence of that treason.

The lawsuit, which is now in the courts for accreditation as a class action, is something Davey says was necessary to protect the interests of the people of Six Nations.

“They allowed us to take them to court because they incorporated. Had they not incorporated, we wouldn’t be this far at all,” says Davey.

Davey says the Men’s Fire became involved in gathering information at the request of several concerned community members after the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) repeatedly dodged requests to reveal details of engagement agreements they negotiated on behalf of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) with Haudenosaunee citizens and clan family members.

The call to investigate followed the revelation, made by a Two Row Times

investigation, that HDI had agreed to waive the application of sovereign immunity in it’s landmark 2014 multi-million dollar deal with Samsung for a wind and solar farm.

That deal, seen by many as the agreement that gave the HDI the corporate clout to work with other proponents, promised that the people of the Confederacy would not oppose the operation of those projects for the duration of the contract and promised the people of the Confederacy would waive the right to use Haudenosaunee sovereignty as a means to stop the project.

“We went to them numerous times and said we want to see. And they said all the books and records are on the website. We went to the website and it wasn’t on there, nothing was posted. Then we went to them directly and they said ‘oh yeah, you can see it. You can see everything that’s going on. Just go to the office and we’ll give it to you.’

But Davey says that never happened. After several community members were met with the same runaround for nearly four months; a subsequent Two Row Times investigation revealed HDI had created a provincial incorporation, 2438543 Ontario Inc., without consulting the HCCC, or it’s clan families.

Further to that, the clan titles, considered sacred according to the Great Law, were registered under the provincial government without the consent of the clan families as holding “50 equitable non-transferable shares in trust for the Haudenosaunee through the Whiskniyonwenstake Rotionisorh (HCCC)” Davey said the Men’s Fire were prompted to respond with legal action.

“On behalf of this community we initiated the court proceedings - but to place Bill and I at blame as to insults and injury - we were asked by the community to do this. This wasn’t something we thought we about doing on our own,” said Davey.

His co-applicant for that class action, Bill Monture, has actively been standing up against the HDI since

those revelations and more were brought to light surrounding HDI and their staff. Another TRT investigation showed HDI’s lawyer, R. Aaron Detlor, was previously investigated by a northern reserve for overcharging them and double billing his time.

Detlor was instructed to leave the territory by the Men’s Fire in April 2016.

When Detlor refused, both Davey and Monture were involved in physically removing from the GREAT building. Monture was charged with assault and in October 2017 a Brantford Justice of the Peace granted an absolute discharge for Monture and co-defendant Lester Green.

Monture says he believes he has not committed treason - but says the letter is an attempt to confuse and distract the people into forgetting HDI’s own act of treason: incorporating the 49 clan family titles into an Ontario corporation.

“When we seen what they had done with the incorporating - took the 49 families of the Teiotiokwanhasta and they incorporated those families.

To me that was the word ‘treason’,” said Monture.

“Nobody has the right to take our 49 families, take them into a [foreign] system and incorporate them.

And that’s exactly what they have done.”

The 49 families Monture is talking about are the chieftain titles that belong to the 49 clan families of the Haudenosaunee people. TRT reporting previously shared the documentation that the HDI placed those titles as shareholders under the HDI’s provincial corporation, 2838543 Ontario Inc. According to one of the English translations of the Great Law — the traditional governing constitution of the Haudenosaunee — when a chief of the council submits to the law of a foreign people, he is no longer in but out of the Confederacy’s protection.

This class of expelled leaders are called Tehonatonkoton - “they have alienated themselves”.

The Great Law says those chiefs who have agreed to submit themselves beneath foreign law forfeit

all birthrights and claims to the Confederacy.

Monture, Davey and Sandy say the act of HDI waiving the sovereign immunity of the Haudenosaunee by way of a numbered provincial corporation in which they placed all 49 clan family titles - qualifies under the Great Law as such an alienation.

“You’re telling me that we’ve caused great shame to our people? You know who brought the shame: was the people who took took that 49 families and created this corporation.

That's what brought the shame,” said Monture.

“The men - our responsibility as the Rotiskerekete is go in and retrieve and take back what someone has stolen. Now that they took those 49 families and threw it in there, we’re just going in to bring it back.”

Another speaker supporting the two, Moe Sandy, is the main wampum keeper of the Men’s Fires for all Haudenosaunee territories.

“I don’t believe that these individuals are dragging people into the court,” said Sandy.

Sandy says he believes Davey and Monture have good intentions with their lawsuit. “It’s just trying to find information so the people don't’ get hurt anymore.”

“There’s fifty shares there,” says Sandy, about

the HDI’s numbered Ontario corporation. “There isn’t fifty families. I don’t know why they have 50 shares there.”

Sandy says money acquired by HDI on behalf of clan families belongs to those clan families and not to the chief who bears the title. “I really do believe that money that’s in there where it [says it] goes to the families — the clans share — it should stay there until the chief goes to the family and asks the family what they want to do with it. The chiefs now are not going back to the families.”

As much local political back and forth that the Six Nations Men’s Fire has seen, there has been positive action put into place by the collective. Since 2006 when the Men’s Fire organized, men involved have regularly helped advocate for families experiencing trouble with CAS, taken action to shut down drug houses, volunteered to drive community members to get groceries, helped elders pay their bills, fed the community free of charge and made several donations to the Six Nations Food Bank.

Monture says his intentions for getting involved in the class action is to stop HDI from using Treaty rights of the people for the gain of a select few.

“It’s all about money nowadays. I mean I know

we need money to survive but you can’t deceive the people. You can’t take from them what is rightfully theirs. They’re taking that 1701 Treaty and giving up our birthrights of who we are.”

Monture says the idea that someone would try to silence him is laughable.

“When they said they came to me and took my voice I said, ‘What happens if I don’t accept this. Who’s gonna come and make me change my mind?’”

Monture said the letter was delivered to him personally at his home by HCCC’s Finance Committee Director Colin Martin and Gary Johnson — an appointee to the now-defunct Tobacco Delegation who previously worked with HDI and Detlor to push an on-reserve HCCC tobacco tax and regulations for those on the territory involved in the tobacco trade.

To date, no one has taken credit for writing the letter and when he asked Martin and Johnson to reveal it’s author, Monture says they refused.

Despite the opposition, Monture says neither he or Davey are discouraged or silenced. “We’re not changing our path because people don’t like what we’re doing,” said Monture. “We’ve been the same way since 2006. We’re here to help our people in any way.”

Some members of the Men's Fire were charged after lawyer Aaron Detlor was forcibly removed from his offices of HDI. Although they were found guilty by the judge, Monture and Green were given an absolute discharge. File Photo

Search called off for man spotted floating off Long Point Witness called police after man was seen drifting out into Lake Erie on Monday STAFF REPORT

LONG POINT — Police have stopped searching the waterways along Long Point in Lake Erie after coming up early in their efforts to find a missing person.

On Monday evening, emergency officials responded to Lake Erie south of Long Point after a witness became concerned when they saw the man floating out on the lake.

The witness reported seeing a male on a floatation device drifting away from shore out

into the lake.

Staff from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC), consisting of search and rescue professionals from Canada and the United States, were on scene assisting with a comprehensive search of the area.

OPP, Norfolk County

Fire Department and Long Point Provincial Park staff were called to the scene to help with the rescue effort.

Searchers located a blue and white single person floatation device (similar to a tire tube), however, as of press time no person had been reported located.

MONTREAL — A downtown Montreal statue of Sir John A. Macdonald was spray-painted red early Friday, with an anti-colonial group claiming responsibility for the vandalism.

It said it wanted to show its opposition to far-right groups and white supremacy as well as its support of the City of Victoria's recent decision to remove a statue of the former prime minister.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps announced last week the city would be

removing the statue because it serves as a painful reminder of the violence inflicted on First Nations at residential schools.

The action has sparked a national debate around how best to represent historical figures who made positive contributions to the country at the same time as sharing discriminatory or hateful perspectives more common to their time.

In 1883, Macdonald argued in the Commons for the removal of Indigenous children from their ``savage'' parents so they could learn the ways of white men.

The same Montreal statue was vandalized last year.

41st annual Powwow ties community together CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

MUNCEY, ON — The Chippewas of the Thames First Nation held their 41st annual Competition Powwow at the Chippewa ball Park throughout the past weekend.

Visitors helped themselves to enjoy the dancing of over five categories as well as novelty powwow foods including Indian tacos, corn soup and more.

But as the powwow is an annual stop for many dancers and families, the novelty of the familial and communal bonding isn’t something to gloss over.

Grass Dancer Mason Sands of Mohawk and Plains Cree descent said that this particular powwow is always a “good powwow” for this reason.

“I live in London which is a 20 minute drive and my family and I go almost every year,” said Sands.

“It’s close and you get to see all of your friends and family, so it’s a good Powwow for us because we see a lot of our loved ones.”

And his participation in the circle as a dancer is something that he said he loves as a part of family tradition and inheritance.

“I’ve been dancing my whole life,” he said.

“My dad is a powwow

singer who learned from his dad when he was a teenager. He used to both sing and dance but now he mostly just sings, so I was born into it. My parents made outfits for all of their children and we always go dancing all sum-mer. So my family has been participating in powwows for a couple gen-erations and they passed it down to me.

I love it so much and it makes me feel so good.”

But rather than being only an expression of tradition, Sands explained that dancing also offers a lot of memories and experiences. He said that the first evening of the powwow offered him a session of dance that he is proud of.

“My favourite experience was definitely my Saturday Night Session,” he said.

“I critique myself a lot and try to do my best but lately I’ve been in kind of a funk. Saturday night, however, was one of the times I did my very personal best. Everything went so smoothly and I was so proud of myself. It doesn’t happen often that everything goes as planned, so it was a happy moment for me.”

The powwow also hosted a smoke dance special, a community feast, Female Emcee Stephanie Pangowish and the Black Lodge Singers as the host drum.

Natan Obed re-elected head of Canada's national Inuit group Housing to be priority during second term in office for Tapiriit Kanatami leader CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

INUVIK, N.W.T. — The newly re-elected leader of Canada's 60,000 Inuit says he plans to make housing a priority during his second term as president. ``We're in the final stages of creating an Inuit strategy on housing,'' said Natan Obed, 42, who on

Thursday was once again chosen to head Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

Housing is an issue in all four of Canada's Inuit regions, but it is particularly acute in Nunavut, where the number of families living in housing that is inadequate or too expensive is roughly three time higher than the national average.

The territory estimates

a housing shortfall of 3,000 units and that's growing all the time.

Experts such as Nunavut's health minister have blamed poor housing for generating many of the territory's other social ills.

Obed notes the last three federal budgets have committed $800 million over 10 years to address the problem, but he knows that won't be

enough. ``We are talking not just about building new houses, but about reimagining the way housing works in Inuit (regions).''

His group's strategy will promote private home ownership, better building design and more efficient contracting and construction, Obed said. ``Within all these big things that cost a lot of

FIND ALL THE LATEST LOCAL NEWS ONLINE at tworowtimes.com

money, there are also many efficiencies and many partnerships other that federal partnerships that we can pursue.''

Obed said the strategy should be released in November.

He added that he would continue implementing a suicide prevention plan brought in during his first term. Eradication of tuberculosis _ still a problem in Inuit communities _ will be another priority.

Together with Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott, Obed has set a goal of halving active TB cases among Inuit by 2025 and eliminating the disease by 2030.

In his first term, he did not shy away from controversy, especially when he called on Edmonton's Canadian Football League team to change its name from the Eskimos. He denies doing so just to draw attention. ``Positions that Inuit have taken are sometimes very controversial,'' he said. ``But they're all designed to educate, inform and transform Canadian society so that it imagines Inuit as a part of it and as self-determining Indigenous people who deserve the same rights and considerations that all Canadians do.''

Trudeau running again CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MONTREAL — Justin Trudeau will run again in the 2019 federal election.

The Liberal leader formally announced his nomination at a party event Sunday in his Montreal riding of Papineau.

The partisan crowd cheered as Trudeau reaffirmed his belief in what he called ``positive politics,'' and took jabs at Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, whom he accused of exploiting fear and division.

The Liberal leader also promised to tackle a number of challenges that include protecting Canada's oceans, raising the standard of living for Indigenous Peoples and narrowing the gap between rich and poor.

Trudeau was first elected to represent Papineau in 2008, and was re-elected in 2011 and 2015.

The riding has been held by the Liberals for almost all of the last 50 years, with the exception of 2006 to 2008 when it was held by the Bloc Quebecois.

Female MC's enter a man's niche CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

In many Onkwehon:we cultures, it is the men that are given the duty of speaking on behalf of their families.

And this trend towards male speakers is something that can be seen on the national scale, from the rap industry to the political sphere. But a newer trend is rising as more and more women are breaking the ice in the niche.

Last weekend the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation hosted their 41st Annual Competition Powwow, and to the delight of dancers, the Black Lodge Singers were chosen as the Host Drum. But the organizers also selected Stephanie Pangowish of Manitoulin Island as their MC. Pangowish, who is Anishniaabe from Wikwemikong and currently residing in Toronto, had her dreams set on becoming a comedian.

“My goal as a young child was to be a comedian and perform in front of an audience. When I shared my dream with my mom, she said ‘nope!’”

Pangowish joked.

During her time in college and university she began working within her community and started working at a provincial indigenous organization.

There she helped to begin a comedy class for indigenous women.

“I was all over that,” she said. “I rounded up enough Indigenous women in Toronto who have careers working in

MUNCEY, ON — Stephanie Pangowish served as the MC for the 41st Chippewa of the Thames First Nation Competition Powwow over the weekend, as one of the few women breaking onto the mics of PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN powwow country.

our community to come out to the Comedy Bar and be part of the Comedy Girl class for Indigenous women. Our teacher Dawn Whitwell said she never had a class that laughed so much in her career of teaching. You know how our women are when we get together.”

After graduating, Pangowish said that she and the women she “rounded up” found that it was too fun to stop and began to perform as Manifest Destiny’s Child.

“So comedy allowed me to help find my voice and be able to create jokes from an Indigenous women's perspective. As a powwow mom and the wife of a singer, we have been to many powwows and I have never heard of a woman being an MC,” she said.

She then set out on social media to ask why female MC’s were so rare and was later brought to the callout made by the Chippewa Powwow for female MC’s.

“I decided to give it a try based on my experience in attending and

rwaching out to other MC's like my uncle Chris Pheasant, uncle Aaron Benson, brother Meegwans Snake, comedian Ryan McMahon, entertainer Adrian Harjo, friend Mista Wasis and so many more.”

Pangowish said that she then watched hours of YouTube videos to study how to hype up crowds, introduce grand entries and how introduce drums.

She watched crowd favourites such as Vince Beyl, Larence Baker, and Reuben Littlehead to help, but she also found that many were quick to offer their support by reaching out and offering feedback.

“I ended up loving it,” she said. “Of course I was quite nervous and I did make a couple of mistakes, because as a dancer I didn't pay attention to fine details that you do as an MC, so there was a lot of learning in addition to having fun and sharing powwow Mom jokes.”

She noted that she knew of a few female MC’s in the past at her home of Manitoulin Island and that Rhonda Doxtator played

LISTEN ONLINE

MC this year at the Odawa Powwow as well.

One of her favourite experiences during her time as MC was not only getting the crowd to shout “deadly” for dancers and drums, but also her comedic touch.

“I think my favourite experience is making our communities laugh, sharing what I know about powwow and being able to showcase and uplift our Indigenous women and

those that have the female spirit; our grandmothers, aunties, nieces, daughters and cousins,” she said.

“I had a young girl who helped me who was about five yrs old. I had her introduce the women's fancy and I asked her to say ‘dance for me' and when she said it you can hear the crowd respond with so much love.”

As for her experience of the powwow itself, Pangowish explained that working with the organizers and staff was something she won’t forget.

“There were so many positives about the pow wow; the experienced head staff that I worked along side with Cheryl Redeagle, Frazer Sundown, our sound guy Jason Smith, Ray Deleary who helped with MC'ing, Robin Stonefish who coordinated, and Myeengun Henry who is Chippewa 's Ogimaa, all worked very well and supported one another to help make it such a fun and successful powwow. We had a host-

drum Blacklodge, who came from Washington to share their songs and all the other drummers helped us to keep the dancers jamming to beautiful songs all weekend and keep that good spirit flowing. It was one deadly powwow for sure.”

But as her time as MC at this powwow in particular came to an end, she has yet another opportunity to bring her funny and charismatic charm to the powwow mic. She will be serving as the MC for the Georgina Island Powwow in September.

Her goal as an MC is also something to behold.

“I love our communities, I love our humour and I love our way of life.

It's so giving and kind,” she said.

“I wanted to represent Indigenous women well and help open up the doors for future women MC’S. This is all so new to me and I know I have a lot more to learn. I look forward to learning what others have to share.”

BRANTFORD — Under Newport Bridge appeared a mural of the term “Skoden” with water designs and a mask depiction over this past weekend. Just as the term appeared on a Sudbury water tower in July, which terrified many Sudbury residents, taking a selfie or picture posed in front of the newer Skoden mural has become a trend for Six Nations residents. The artist of the graffiti remains unknown, but if you have any information regarding the artist, please contact the Two Row Times via PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN email or the telephone number found on the editorial page.

NLL's Saskatchewan Rush to fly Iroquois flag at home games CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Saskatchewan Rush of the National Lacrosse League are honouring the heritage of the sport by flying an Iroquois flag at all home games.

Rush forward Jeff Shattler says it means a lot to himself and other First Nations athletes in the league, but he thinks it will mean even more to Indigenous fans who come from across Saskatchewan to support the team. ``It's great to have that up there as recognition, that we have a flag up there with the Canadian and American flags,'' said Shattler, who was named NLL Cup MVP after scoring seven goals and adding six assists in the Rush's 2-1 series win over the Rochester Knighthawks. ``I think that's amazing for the game and I think it's going to be amazing for Saskatchewan because I know they have a huge following with the Indigenous people out in the Saskatoon/Regina area. ``I think it will be beneficial for them because I know a lot of people that travel from far and wide to go watch a game and then when they look up and see the flag it will put a little meaning behind the game.''

The Haudenosaunee people – also known as the Iroquois and the Six Nations – are com-

prised of six First Nations primarily in New York, Ontario and Quebec: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora peoples.

The Haudenosaunee participate as their own team in all international lacrosse events.

As inventors of the sport, lacrosse has spiritual and medicinal qualities in Haudenosaunee tradition and is often called the Creator's Game. ``I think it's really important (to fly the flag),'' said Rush general manager Derek Keenan. ``I think it's really important that we honour those who created our game and give it to us today. I think it's a really nice thing for our team to do and I think it's going to be really good for the communities and for all the players that come through with that background. I think it's going to be really good for the league.''

SaskTel Centre, the Rush's home arena, hosted the world junior indoor lacrosse championship from Aug. 8 to 12. Tournament organizers had the distinctive purple-andwhite Iroquois flag hung in the rafters beside its Canadian and American counterparts.

After Canada beat the Iroquois 15-10 in the gold-medal game, the flag was gifted to the Saskatchewan Rush, who announced on Wednesday that they would continue to fly the flag for all of their home games in the professional league.

Shattler has played for the Iroquois Nationals in several tournaments throughout his career. Although he is an Ojibwe from Ontario's Wikwemikong First Nation, the Iroquois team welcomes players from different Indigenous backgrounds. ``I think it would be great for the sport (if other NLL teams followed suit),'' said Shattler. ``I think it would be great to recognize the Aboriginal people and the Creator's Game and I think it would only benefit the sport of lacrosse.''

The Iroquois flag represents the Hiawatha wampum belt, made of four interlocking white squares with an all-white tree in the middle on a purple field. Each object represents one of the original five nations of the Iroquois confederacy, with the Tuscarora joining after the design of the original belt.

Shattler and teammate Jeremy Thompson, from Onondaga Nation, N.Y., often do outreach to local Indigenous communities and Keenan credits their hard work with the team's popularity among First Nations people. ``Those two are two of our most popular players and I think that's because of the Indigenous fanbase we have and the amount of work that's done in those communities,'' said Keenan. ``It's a good partnership and I think it's awesome we're going to be flying the flag.''

NLL 2018 entry moves to Philly STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The National Lacrosse League announces that the 2018 NLL Entry Draft will take place at Xfinity Live! on Tuesday, September 25th, 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The draft will move to Philadelphia’s premier entertainment and dining venue after being held at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre for several years.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank Jamie Dawick and the Toronto Rock for their many years as gracious hosts,” said NLL commissioner Nick Sakiewicz.

“With our most recent expansion into Philadelphia, we felt there was no better time to bring the NLL Draft to this city. This move emphasizes our league wide focus to grow brand awareness for the National Lacrosse League in the United States, while offering our players a first-class experience. We are looking forward to a new class of talent to join our family and elevate our league both on and off the turf.”

The 2018 NLL Entry Draft will begin at 6:00pm ET and is open to the public. Fans will have the opportunity to come and witness the draft first hand, welcoming their team’s newest crop of talent.

“The City of Philadelphia is proud to host the National Lacrosse League’s 2018 NLL Entry Draft this year,” said Philadelphia Mayor Jim

Kenney. “We are excited that Comcast Spectacor is bringing indoor lacrosse back to Philadelphia once again with the Wings. Philadelphia is a great lacrosse city and we look forward to hosting a first-class draft event.”

No stranger to premier events, Xfinity Live! is considered the ideal venue to host the draft. Xfinity Live! features state of the art technology to help amplify the entire draft experience for both fans and players.

This year’s draft continues to build on the league’s digital first strategy.

This Entry Draft will feature inaugural draft classes for both the Philadelphia Wings and San Diego Seals who will begin play during the 2018-19 season.

With the addition of two expansion franchises in the U.S., it was important to host the Entry Draft in one of America’s most iconic cities with the generous support of its agencies, including the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“Philadelphia has a proud professional lacrosse history – including six league championships – and this opportunity to host the Entry Draft will ignite the fan base as the Wings’ franchise returns to the league,” said Larry Needle, executive director of PHL Sports.

“As the NLL continues to grow and expand into exciting new markets, we recognize the great work of Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz and his execu-

tive team. With the NLL corporate headquarters now in the Greater Philadelphia region, we look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership in the coming years.”

The NLL will become the third professional draft to come to the city since 2000, in the company of the NHL Entry Draft in 2014 as well as the NFL Draft in 2017.

In addition to the NFL and NHL Drafts, Philadelphia has played host to events such as the FIFA Women’s World Cup, NBA All-Star Weekend, and the NCAA Lacrosse Championships.

While Philadelphia is the host city, the San Diego Seals will have the first pick in the draft. As expansion franchises, the Seals selected the first pick in the 2018 Entry Draft and the Wings received the first pick in the Expansion Draft.

First round of the 2018 NLL Entry Draft order (subject to change pending trades) is as follows: San Diego Philadelphia Buffalo (draft pick traded from Vancouver) Buffalo Saskatchewan (from Toronto) Calgary Calgary (from New England) Georgia Rochester (from Colorado) San Diego (from Rochester via Saskatchewan) San Diego (from Saskatchewan) Calgary (compensatory selection) Calgary (compensatory selection)

Card of Thanks Our Thanks: We say thank you to our families and friends for helping and supporting us throughout the hospitalization and loss of Ken Smith, our beloved son and brother. Thank you to all the sisters and brothers, Aunties, Uncles, Cousins and Friends who brought food to the hospital as we sat in anticipation waiting for Ken to wake up. Your support meant so much and helped us during this very sad time. We offer a special thank you to Reverend Roz Elm who officiated at the services; the singers ~ Cec and Phil Sault; Ken & Sonya Sault and Joan Elliott; and Bits of Bluegrass. Your songs helped to lift us up and please know that Ken would have loved your songs. A very special thank you to Deb Jonathan (Ken's Cousin) who delivered such an amazing Eulogy to Ken and that included all the fun times all the grandchildren had while growing up and working on their Grandfather Ken Montour's farm.

Such special memories. To all the Cousins who carried Ken to his final resting place at the St. Lukes Church cemetery: Bub and Jim Jacobs; Bill, Darren and Bruce Montour; Ron and Stu Johnson and Ev Jacobs. Thank you to Bill Lofthouse and the R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Home for all your kind help and assistance.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, something has been on your mind for awhile, so write down your thoughts and try to act on them. This will take the mystery out of the situation.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking for assistance is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a true test of strength because it means getting help before situations turn worse. Accept help graciously.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Express your creativity every chance you get, Gemini. Sooner or later one of your ideas will appeal to another person, and this could just be the catalyst you need.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, sometimes the first step to starting something big is just believing you can do it. Then all you have to do is put all of the other factors in play.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Stay focused on the journey and you will certainly get to the destination in record time, Leo. You have a passionate desire to see things finished through the end.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, this week presents a perfect opportunity to focus on a project you have been meaning to revisit. It’s good to relax, but free time this week may be better spent working.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you’re inclined to focus on others, but it may be time to carve out some time to care for yourself.

If you burn out, everyone will pay the price.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s hard to run away from love and romance this week, Scorpio. Prioritize an existing relationship or devote more time to a budding one.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 It is time to decompress between adventures, Sagittarius. Try sticking closer to home this week and take a breather. There will be plenty of exploration down the road.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, accept constructive criticism, which is a part of many successful endeavors. Take away important lessons and apply them now and in the future.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Sometimes the best way to improve your bank account isn’t by racking up long hours, but by moving into a career you love, Aquarius. Now is a great time to explore your options.
