Firefighter on “modified duty” and concerns of accident scene photos raised at council NAHNDA GARLOW

Six Nations Elected Councillor Mark Hill says media need to be more sensitive to the trauma local families are experiencing while enduring car accidents, fires or other crisis events.

Hills comments came during Wednesday’s Corporate and Emergency Services meeting in a discussion with Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services Fire Chief Matthew Miller.

Hill told Miller he received a number of complaints from community members about a Six Nations newspaper, the Turtle Island News, following an inaccurate article about a local house fire.

On June 13, Turtle Island News posted an article to their website, including photos of the scene, erroneously reported the fire was taking place at a nearby business, Sit’n Bull Construction, owned by Six Nations businessman Ken Hill.

The story was labelled under the header “breaking news”.

Hill expressed frus-

trations that the loss of a Six Nation’s family home would be considered “breaking news”.

“When car accidents happen or when homes burn down: that’s not breaking news to me.

These people who are experiencing these traumatic events are already going through enough…let alone having to be seeing their home on the front page of the papers or on social media,” said Hill.

Hill said he has serious concerns about media on Six Nations territory accessing the scene of a crisis in the community where there has been serious injury or loss of life, taking video or pictures of the scene and then distributing them online or on social media prior to family notifications by officials.

Hill addressed Miller to ask if there was anything the fire department could do to prevent media from accessing the scene of a crisis and stop photos from being taken.

SNFES Fire Chief Miller said media using analog scanners will listen for details and send reporters to the scene.

Miller previously told

Two Row Times that Six Nation Police and Firefighters work together to secure the scene of an accident or fire to prevent bystanders from being injured and secure a zone where only first responders have access to as they manage victims and extinguish any fires.

Miller said that while the coverage of local events has been helpful in some respects to raise the profile of specific issues, that he does not agree with the way tragic incidents are framed as breaking news.

Hill said local news organizations can report facts and keep a public record without the need for exploiting the trauma of community member families.

Hill then said that one of the Six Nations Firefighters is currently on “modified duty” because of a related incident.

Neither Miller or Hill would confirm who is on modified duty, when it occurred or what the breech was for.

Hill then asked about the confidentiality currently required of Six Nations Firefighters.

One of Six Nations vol-

unteer firefighters, Martin McNaughton, says on his personal Facebook page that he is the Associate Publisher and Editor of the Turtle Island News. Another volunteer firefighter, Dakota Brant, is an occasional editorial contributor to the newspaper as well.

Hill asked if firefighters are required to sign confidentiality agreements before they serve the community.

Miller did not confirm if volunteer firefighters are required to sign confidentiality agreements in the meeting — but he did nod in agreement when Hill said that confidentiality was an important aspect involved in serving as a first responder.

Miller said that there is sometimes benefit to sharing information about accidents as a deterrent, in the case of showing the seriousness of the dangers and potential tragedy that can occur from texting and driving.

Miller suggested that some training for local media and members of the community could be a possible solution, though he did not specify what kind of training.

Two arrested in drug search, crack found

By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Police say two people were arrested and a young child apprehended by Six Nations Child Protection Services after a search for drugs was executed at a home on Second Line.

Police say on June 21 a warrant was issued to search the home at 1917 Second Line Road on Six Nations. During the search police discovered crack cocaine, an undisclosed amount of cash and drug paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.

A cannabis plant was also found growing on the property and a prohibited weapon was also recovered.

Two people are now facing charges: William Errol Hill Jr., 36, and Jillian May McIntee, 34, are facing drug trafficking and weapons charges.

According to police the two were released on a promise to appear notice. They are set to be in court on August 9.

McIntee was released with the additional condition not to return to Six Nations of the Grand River territory.

Making Indigenous Peoples Day a holiday CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — A Saskatchewan MP isn't giving up in her bid to make National Indigenous Peoples Day a statutory holiday.

A private member's bill introduced by NDP MP Georgina Jolibois was stuck at second reading when the House of Commons rose Wednesday for the summer break.

But Jolibois isn't giving up the fight to make June 21 an official holiday.

Jolibois says as an Indigenous person and

member of Parliament, she remains ``hopeful'' that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will support the bill when debate on it resumes in September.

In the meantime, though, Jolibois _ who represents the riding of Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River _ says she plans to mark today's occasion in any event.

Jolibois says she sees National Indigenous Peoples Day as a way to honour and respect Indigenous language, culture and heritage, and that awareness of the day increases every year.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

A trauma informed approach EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW It’s strange how things come in clusters. According to local legend: situations always seem to present themselves in threes so we, the people, will learn lessons from the places we can be found.

This week we see it in the form of the ongoing discussions about how much detail should be disclosed about traumatic incidents in the media.

Nationally the spotlight has turned to the Peter Khill murder trial.

He is accused of murder in the death of Jonathan Styres and a verdict is expected to arrive very soon, possibly today.

Journalists from across Canada were keen to cover the story

for its similarities to the Gerald Stanley acquittal that caused outrage and a pledge from the Prime Minister to “do better”.

On the national stage and for mainstream outlets the graphic details of Styres death are of public interest.

While important to include in the public record, every writer has to consider their audience.

Two Row Times made the decision not to include the details of the case in our coverage.

This decision was made due to our understanding of how the indigenous community is an easily triggered community when it comes to our people being killed.

Trigger Warnings.

Nature Connections

By Quin Staats

You see them commonly before posts on social media all the time. The dictionary definition is this: “a statement at the start of a piece of writing, video, etc., alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material”.

Jouralists writing for the general public might not feel a need to include a trigger warning or exclude graphic details at all — but when you come from a community where trauma is a real fact of life — coming at journalism and keeping the public abreast to what is going on with a trauma informed approach is probably priority number one.

Ghost Forest My parents backyard backs onto an acre of a sparse and symmetrical little walnut forest.

Private and serene, the backyard has always been a place to escape and sit in peace with Mother Nature. For nearly half my life, I’ve been going into that backyard in practically every type of emotion you could imagine, speaking to those trees through tears, happiness and fear.

I’ve cried to them, sang to them, wrote with them, waited, wondered, daydreamt and thought about nothing at all with them. There’s not a lot about me that those trees don’t know.

It’s funny to think about it now, how much time I’d actually spent just spending time in that backyard, or how many people I’ve shared it with over the years.

In my eyes, trees are just as much living beings as humans. They have a soul and a spirit, with their own paths, purposes and destinies.

Consequently, over the years these trees had become some of my closest friends. In fact, I couldn’t think of many other people I felt I could be myself with as much as when I was with the Walnuts.

Last summer, my parents received news that within a years time, the small Walnut For-

est would be cleared in order to build a cramped cul-de-sac of retirement homes. It’s been about a year since they got that fateful letter in the mail, and I’m sure you can imagine where the story leads to next.

The first time I saw the trees laid on the ground was in a Facebook video, I wasn’t there for the actual cutting-down. When I heard the snapping of the wood and the thud of the tree landing on the grass, my heart sank and my eyes instantly welled up with tears. A lump was stuck in my throat, and I felt like I had lost one of my oldest, truest friends.

When I saw the trees on the ground for the first time in person, it made me feel even smaller than when I stood underneath them in their shade. I felt almost more connected to them than when they stood above me, tall and full of life. I guess I can admit, that I didn’t realize how connected I was to them, or how much I appreciated them, until they were already gone.

And so goes life.

Humans so easily forget to appreciate the things that mean most to them, and so often take things for granted. It isn’t until something lay lifeless or broken on the ground that they realize how much that something

Volume 5, Issue 46

meant to them, when it’s too late.

Losing the Walnuts not only taught me a lesson in taking things for granted, but it also taught me a lesson about the spirit of things.

Although the trees are now long gone, and only sun-dried stumps remain in a Walnut graveyard, I can still feel an energy and spirit when I walk into my parents backyard. Their memories are there...their spirits are still there. Just like the people who have sat back there with me who are now gone, or the albums that I’ve played of musicians since passed, a spirit still lingers in the memories and place where they once stood.

There is a spirit in all things in the natural world, and we can visit these spirits whenever we wish whether the body of that spirit is still there or not. It’s not as good as enjoying the trees when they still stood, but if I close my eyes and remember the time I spent with them I can still feel the warmth of their spirit.

Our Native Nations should offer refuge for the refugees COLUMN:

By Doug George-Kanentiio

Akwesasne Mohawk

One of the constitutional provisions of the Great Law of Peace taught

by Skennenrahowi, the Peacemaker, and embraced by the Iroquois was a formula for the acceptance of refugees into our territories leading to citizenship.

In truth, the naturalization laws employed by Canada and the US to permit immigration and then establish rules leading to one becoming a citizen was invented by our ancestors and adopted by the colonists, themselves immigrants who wanted a way to distinguish themselves from their places of origins. We were the original "Americans" a term not applied to those of European ancestry until the American Revolution and the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

Prior to that, those people were British so they took a word describing us and applied it to themselves.

Ours was a democratic entity, the world's oldest united nations governed by a constitution which clearly defined the powers of our respective nations.

It was magnanimous by design, meant to encourage immigration and to have those who elect to

remain follow a clear path to becoming a member of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy with all of the privileges and honours that implies including clan affiliation, the right to participate in all instances of governance and to enjoy all the benefits of living in one of the most free societies ever devised by human beings. This was particularly true for children and women who, in Europe and Asia, were mere chattel, literally owned by their male parents and siblings.

When the Europeans arrived in our area they found a people who acknowledged no master, served no god, were disgusted by a society which was restricted by class, gender and religion.

Yet even though we saw those refugees as people rejected by their own nations or fleeing organized suppression amidst an atmosphere of terror (the Inquisition, witch burnings, torture chambers, pogroms) equal to anything in current Central America.

Those Europeans were hungry, dirty, sick yet we took them in, taught them the basics of survival, fed them, cleansed them and tried to instruct them in the principles of freedom.

Their reaction was to attack, burn, destroy, steal

and create a cultural and history based on distortions, lies and institutionalized deception.

But we have not abandoned our ideals even as our children were stolen and taken from our families to places far away where they were stripped of their dignity, denied their culture, forbidden their spirituality and subjected to organized pedophilia.

We know, as do our African allies, the former slaves of the US, the agony of having our children wrenched from the arms of their parents and, in many instances, never to be reunited. We know the consequences of this disruption: the alcoholism, drug abuse, violence, suicides, the anxiety.

Yet we endured and are now in a position to help.

We have all seen those children or heard their cries. Most, if not all, have strong Native ancestry which is readily apparent.

We see those children who so closely resemble our own. In those faces are the survivors of over 500 years of active oppression and their determination to find a better place despite the en route robberies, the assaults and the fear of the unknown. They persevere, they endure and we should, as the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island,

Will Justice be denied again?

welcome them to our territories. Their blood would blend well with ours and give biological strength to both.

Open our communities to them. Tell the US our longhouses, our lodges, our tipis, our lands are prepared to sponsor them according to our needs and resources. We will use our ceremonies to heal their wounds and our families will make a home for them. They will carry their culture and add to our own.

We need to show the world that our hearth fires are strong and bright and the paths clear for them to come to us. We must not permit these Native children to be tossed about the country, living in fear.

As a child who went through one of the worst Indian residential schools in Canada (the Mohawk Institute aka the "mushhole") followed by forcible placement in 15 foster homes I know what can happen to the children.

Their cries were my own, their fear of abandonment and isolation my own.

Tens of thousands of other Natives have gone through similar experiences.

Perhaps we can extract something tangible from our trauma..

Let us collectively take the lead and do what is the human-Indigenous-thing.

By Doug Whitlow BA At the time this essay is being written, a criminal trial is taking place in the John Sopinka Court House in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In this most recent case involving a Whiteman (Peter Khill) had shot and killed an Iroquois man (Jonny Styres) from the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve. The accused has openly admitted Shooting and killing Jon Styres, but may yet walk away from the trial with an accquital (if) a Jury of Khill's peers finds him innocent as has happened many times in old and recent Canadian history.

The Canadian Legal System has a long and sordid history of showing Bias and Racial Discrimination towards the thousands of Native Canadians who have come into contact with Canada's Criminal Courts and Law Enforcement Officials following the creation of the Canadian State in 1867. In the early days and months and years following Canada's birth as a nation on the world scene, Native Canadians and Canada's main Police Service the (North West Mounted Police who later became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) or (RCMP); were constantly at odds with one another. Most of these legal Run-ins resulted in the

Natives losing to the better legally equipped RCMP and the Force's seemingly limitless powers of arrest and incarceration. By the end of the 1800's and into the early 1900's as the Dominion of Canada grew in size and eventually spread out across the continent from Sea to shining sea; just as Canada had grown in size, so did the number of Canadian Native people who came into some form of unwilling and mostly disastrous contact with Canada's Legal System.

In the early formative years of the Canadian experience, it was primarily the RCMP (Mounties) who the Native Canadians had altercations with as the RCMP were the only police available at the time. As time passed and the population of Canada grew in numbers, some areas of Canada such as the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec decided to set up Provincial Police Forces under control of the Provincial Governments rather than depend on the Federally mandated RCMP to keep the peace. In the late 1800's not long after the North West Mounted Police were set up as a para-military organization, the new police force was sent to Western Canada to protect the Indians and settlers living there from American Whiskey Traders and other unscrupulous individuals

who were taking advantage of Canadians. However; in their first major gun battle, the North West Mounted Police were fighting and killing Metis and Native Indian people throughout the West and not the unscrupulous Americans whom

the Police Force had been dispatched to eliminate.

This may not be news here in the 21st Century, however; but this incident is being utilized to illustrate exactly how Canada's Native Indians have been and continue to be; killed

by Canadian police and soldiers supposedly acting in self defence of their homes on our native land.

The story being told here is not a long dissertation on Canadian Injustice to Native Indians, but instead the story is about just a few

instances where native Indians have ran afoul of the Canadian Legal System.

The second story is set in the province of Saskatchewan in 1970. On October 10, 1970, four juveniles including a 15 year old Indian named Michael

Muskego from the Onion Lake Indian Reserve ran away from the Saskatchewan Boy's School in Regina and stole a 1968 Ford automobile from a farmers garage and headed toward Melfort, Sakatchewan.

Somewhere along the way the boys took a wrong turn and ended up travelling in the direction of Saskatoon.

Unbeknownst to the boys, the police at that time were searching for a man named Wilfred S. Robertson who had allegedly shot and killed two RCMP Officers the day before on October, 09, 1970. As soon as the farmer noticed that his car was missing he phoned the RCMP to report a stolen vehicle. It wasn't long until the stolen vehicle was spotted by a police officer in the Chamberlain District and a pursuit began. Police in those days had only their

When the stolen car went by one roadblock an Officer by the name of Staff Sergeant (SSG.) Edmondson radioed that the car being chased was being driven by four youths and was not the vehicle which Wilfred Robertson was supposed to be driving, SSG. Edmondson then added that his fellow officers should “cool it”; it's only a bunch of kids”. The other officers disregarded the Staff Sergeants words and soon after at a third roadblock near Saskatoon, an officer wielding a .308 rifle opened fire on the youth's stolen car and killed 15 year old Michael Muskego.

WAGMATCOOK, NS — A ceremony was held Thursday marking the grand opening of a unique court on Nova Scotia's Wagmatcook First Nation.

The Nova Scotia Judiciary said the court in Cape Breton is the first of its kind in the province and among only a few in the country that incorporates Indigenous restorative justice traditions and customs through its programs, as well as housing a provincial court and Supreme Court family division.

Nova Scotia Chief Justice Michael MacDonald and Wagmatcook Chief Norman Bernard were expected to speak at the event —which fell on National Indigenous Peoples Day — and Premier Stephen McNeil is also expected to attend.

The judiciary said the creation of the court is in

Scotia reserves, as well as calls to action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's report.

The Wagmatcook courthouse inside the Wagmatcook Cultural and Heritage Centre offers programs including a Gladue court, which refers to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that requires courts to take Aboriginal circumstances into account when handing down a sentence.

It also offers a healing and wellness court, dedicated to Indigenous offenders who plead guilty or accept responsibility for their actions and are at a high risk to reoffend. ``This court program will look at the underlying factors that contribute to the person coming into conflict with the law,'' the judiciary said on its website. ``The sentencing process is delayed approxi-

Judge Laurie Halfpenny-MacQuarrie, the presiding judge at the new court who was involved in its creation from the beginning, said that in 2015 she became fed up with issuing non-appearance arrest warrants for people from the Wagmatcook area who were forced to travel to Port Hawkesbury for proceedings _ an hour's drive away.

She said she met with local Aboriginal chiefs in April 2016 to discuss solutions for the issue, and the idea for the Wagmatcook First Nation courthouse was born. ``We discussed what that would look like, and it would be a court that's philosophy would be Indigenous law, and applying that here at a local level,'' said Halfpenny-MacQuarrie in an interview before the ceremony Thursday.

Halfpenny-MacQuarrie

es for legal aid, Crown attorneys, interview rooms and holding cells, as well as housing the Indigenous legal programs. ``That's what makes this court unique,'' she said.

The judiciary said the court model was developed in close consultation with the First Nations community. ``It will be guided and supported by Aboriginal justice concepts, procedures and resources, which will help ensure it is meeting the individualized needs of Indigenous people coming before the court,'' the website said.

The design of the court is also unique. The bench is shaped like a circle _ a symbol in the Indigenous community representing the Aboriginal medicine wheel and the court's restorative justice approach.

The court will sit once a week on Wednesdays.

help dispel some of the myths that surround our relationship with the Indigenous people and our understanding of who they are,'' Feehan said Monday. ``I think it really does help us on our journey toward reconciliation.''

The program has been two years in the making and follows a commitment Premier Rachel Notley made in 2015 to implement the goals of the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights.

The course was designed with help from more than 60 elders, youth and women in Calgary, Edmonton, Lac La Biche, Lethbridge, Peace River and Rocky Mountain House. ``It's an in-person

course that includes an elder-led ceremony to start,'' said Finance Minister Joe Ceci, who is responsible for public service staff. ``It's followed by history from an Indigenous perspective after that, a sharing circle and a discussion on reconciliation and what it means in the Alberta government context.''

Ceci said staff will get information on residential schools, treaties and contemporary issues and on ``how they can apply what they've learned to their work in the public service.''

A letter this spring from Alberta Health Services referred to an Indigenous teenage girl only as ``Treaty Indian.''

Last year, Alberta

Health Services apologized after an official conducting a seminar on a First Nation reserve later sent a text message complaining she had been yelled at by ``a rabid squaw.'' The worker who sent the text message and another who was intended to receive it were fired.

Gerald Cunningham, president of the Metis Settlements General Council, said it's critical to build bridges and broaden understanding with government. ``Knowledge is a very important step on the path towards cultural understanding and reconciliation,'' said Cunningham. ``We get left out of a lot of the (government program) funding stream because of that lack of knowledge.''

MONTREAL —Quebec Health Minister Gaetan Barrette is defending himself over allegations he made insensitive comments about Indigenous people who use the province's air ambulance system.

An audio recording of Barrette obtained by Le Devoir and CBC Montreal has him saying in English that within six months there will be at least one case of a person who will not be allowed to board an air ambulance plane because they are agitated, drugged or under the influence.

Barrette told reporters today those comments were taken out of context and were uttered during a conversation with a citizen two weeks ago in his riding on Montreal's south shore.

The senior govern-

ment minister says he is profoundly sorry the comments were misunderstood but insists they were about air travel in general and not a direct reference to Indigenous communities.

Some First Nations groups took his comments as reinforcing stereotypes about those living in north.

Tunu Napartuk, the mayor of the Nunavik's largest village, Kuujjuaq, told the CBC he was profoundly shocked and disappointed by the comments.

Quebec reversed a controversial policy earlier this year that forbade parents or guardians from accompanying their children on emergency flights from northern communities to medical facilities.

Barrette announced in February that at least one parent would be permitted to join their children on the medical flights.

'Yellowstone' boasts strong Native American co star

By Lynn Elber, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — ``Yellowstone'' has everything a worthwhile Western should, including breathtaking vistas, battles over land and Kevin Costner in the lead role.

There's also something rare in the contemporary Paramount Network series debuting Wednesday: prominent Native American story lines and parts, including one filled by an actor formidable enough to stand up to Costner and his ranching baron.

Gil Birmingham plays Thomas Rainwater, a tribal chief and casino owner who's ready and able to oppose those whose interests conflict with the well-being of the people he represents.

Birmingham, of Comanche ancestry on his father's side, has played his share of Native Americans and others on TV and in films

including ``Hell or High Water'' and ``Wind River,'' both written by Taylor Sheridan, the creator of ``Yellowstone.'' ``Through my career, a rather long career of struggling, mostly, I've been asked, 'What would be your dream character?' and this is it,'' Birmingham said of his role on Paramount Network's first drama series since its rebranding from Spike TV last January.

Playing a fully realized,

modern Indian character is an opportunity that doesn't come often enough and one that counts beyond entertainment, the actor said. ``Many people don't even think that we (Native Americans) still exist, that we're just historical artifacts that once upon a time existed,'' he said, crediting Sheridan with a ``great leap forward'' in the 10-part series and on the big screen.

Birmingham tips his hat as well to Costner and

his 1990 Oscar-winning period drama ``Dances with Wolves,'' which ``really did open the door for people for maybe the first time ... to see the beauty and the depths of the native culture.''

Costner, also an executive producer on ``Yellowstone,'' said authenticity is his goal with any project.

That's particularly important in the show's portrayal of Native Americans, he said, for whom ``a terrible wrong'' has occurred and not been remedied.

Sheridan got the balance ``letter perfect,'' with the nuance and imperfection that characters of every ethnicity warrant, he said.

The series, set in Montana, was filmed there and in Utah.

Costner stars as John Dutton, a die-hard Westerner determined to keep his family's holdings intact.

There are pressures from without _ including land developers, oil and lumber interests and the adjacent Indian reservation and Yellowstone National Park _ and from within, courtesy of his family.

Dutton's offspring include Kayce (Luke Grimes), estranged and living on the reservation with his Native American wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille); lawyer Jamie (Wes Bentley), eager to please his dad, and heir apparent Lee (Dave Annable), who's running the family operation with Dutton.

The sole daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), more than keeps up her end, filling in for her late mother as family matriarch and doubling as a cutthroat business negotiator.

The role of Thomas Rainwater was Birmingham's for the taking after he proved himself to Sheridan in ``Wind River'' and ``Hell or High Water,'' which earned the filmmaker an Oscar bid for best screenplay.

Birmingham couples technical proficiency with artistic expression in his work, Sheridan said, and Rainwater's character required particular deftness. ``It's the ability to be

cunning without it being misconstrued as evil,'' said Sheridan, who recalled advising Birmingham that Rainwater needed to be seen as ``an equal force to people who have a real disregard for the rule of law, and yet never lose his goodness.''

The actor has a personal connection with his character's story. Rainwater grew up unaware of his ancestry because his adoptive parents withheld his background from him, while Birmingham's late father downplayed his native heritage.

Birmingham left home at 14, ultimately attending the University of Southern California and working as a petrochemical engineer.

A foray into bodybuilding served as an improbable wake-up call to embrace the arts. ``I was more intrigued by the esthetic ability to form a body like a sculpture. In my creative desire, I just knew I couldn't do the engineering anymore.

It didn't speak to me, to my spirit,'' he said.

Another unlikely step _ he got a part in Diana Ross' music video ``Muscles'' _ propelled him into acting, although the guitar had captured his imagination as a youngster and he'd hoped for a musical career.

That dream has yet to be fulfilled, but Birmingham said it allowed him to make an instant connection with fellow actor-musician Jeff Bridges when they had just a few days to rehearse their roles as longtime friends in ``Hell or High Water.''

Birmingham marvels at what's happened since he decided as a teenager he would rather be on the street in San Francisco (before becoming a ward of the court and entering a boys' home) and find his own path. ``The events of my life unfolded in such a way that they placed me in places I never would have imagined. And the only way that I could move forward was to trust,'' Birmingham said.

National Film Board funds 35 Indigenous led projects, says more work to be done MONTREAL — The National Film Board of Canada says it has made gains towards fostering Indigenous talent, but there's more work to be done.

The board says it backed 35 Indigenous-directed projects, representing 10 per cent of overall production spending, in the first year of its Indigenous Action Plan.

The three-year plan strives to spend at least 15 per cent of production funds on Indigenous-directed projects by 2020.

The NFB also launched an Indigenous Cinema section on its website earlier this year, offering free streaming of more than 200 titles by Indigenous directors.

It says nearly half of NFB staff have participated in Indigenous cultural awareness activities, and expects all employees to be trained by 2020.

The NFB says it has also hired two Indigenous staff members as part of efforts to achieve workforce equity by 2025. ``One year into our Indigenous Action Plan, I'm encouraged by the progress we've made,'' NFB chairman Claude Joli-Coeur said in a statement released Wednesday. ``There's so much more to do and we're looking to build on these results in year two.''

The NFB announced 33 commitments last June in response to recommendations outlined in the 2015 report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. (Canadian Press)

SIX NATIONS — The ILA and the Gaylord Powless Arena are starting to get very busy as the Ontario Lacrosse Association’s 2018 regular Jr. A, B, and C's, and Major Series and Sr. B seasons draw to a close.

Anticipations run high again this year with the Major Series Six Nations Chiefs, Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen, Jr. A Arrows, Jr. B Rebels and Six Nations Jr. C Warriors all jockeying for playoff positioning and home floor advantage.

They will have to clear a lot of obstacles between now and then to get to the big prize, a National championship cup.

Jr. C WARRIORS — MEREDITH CUP

There is no National Cup in Jr. C, and so, the Warriors will be the first Six Nations OLA team to contend for the pinnacle of Jr. C lacrosse. This year the Warriors will try to pull the Meredith Cup from the hands of the Brantford Warriors who won it last season.

In 2015, the Six Nations Warriors finished with 16 wins and no losses to close out the regular season. It was soon brought to the attention of the Ontario Lacrosse Association that the Warriors had multiple roster violations.

In turn, the Warriors forfeited 13 of their wins and dropped from first place in the West Division to seventh. The Warriors would sweep the first two rounds of the playoffs and

MAJOR SERIES CHIEFS — MANN CUP

In the 2015 Meredith Cup Finals, the Six Nations Warriors would meet East Division champion Peterborough Lakers, who swept the series in three-games: 107, 10-3 and 9-4.

Jr. B REBELS — FOUNDERS CUP

The Six Nations Jr. B Reb-

valuable in all of sport, not only because of what it stands for, but it is made of solid gold. The trophy was valued at $60,000 CDN ($177,000 in 2016 dollars) when appraised

by Birks in May 1980.

In 1989, the Mann

els have already finished the regular season in first place overall and will hope to seek redemption in Nanaimo BC by returning the Founders Cup to Six Nations. The Rebels strung four Cups together in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, and they were also Cup winners in 2007 and 2008. The Orangeville Northmen have won it the past two seasons.

JR. A ARROWS — MINTO CUP

The Minto Cup is already in the hands of the Six Nations Jr. A Arrows after defeating the Coquitlam Adanacs in three straight games last year. It will not be given up without a fight if it is given up at all.

But it is a much younger and inexperienced Arrows

but otherwise intact.

In 2004, the Peterborough Lakers won the Mann Cup. During a celebratory gathering, the replica of the trophy was dropped in a bonfire and was destroyed. this year having lost many stars to overage at the end of last season. With a much younger team the Arrows have to work a little harder this year, but are up to the task.

SR. B RIVERMEN — PRESIDENTS CUP

The Sr. B Presidents Cup slipped out of the hands of the Six Nations Rivermen after winning the award in 2015. The Rivermen would love to turn last

The Six Nations Chiefs bring their history and their power to this year’s campaign and should they win the league championship will get with it a berth in the 2018 Mann Cup playoffs. The Chiefs last won the Cup in 2016 by defeating the Maple Ridge Barrards, four games to one. They also lifted the Cup in 2013 and 2014. Last season the Peterborough Lakers won it.

The Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs have not had an auspicious start to the Major Series Lacrosse season but have shown signs of life as of late, taking back-to-back wins from Cobourg and Brooklin. But this is the Chiefs and even with a 3-4-0 record going into Tuesday night’s game, the Chiefs will be a factor by playoff time, guaranteed.

This year’s Chiefs are one year older and some of their brightest stars may have faded a bit since the 2016 Mann Cup season, but if experience means anything, the Chiefs will only get stronger as the regular season unfolds.

The St. Catharines Spartans offered little against the fast and powerful Six Nations Rebels in the first round of OJBLL playoffs last week.

Rebels opened the postseason with a 10-2 walkover against the visiting St. Catharines Spartans in their best-of-five series.

Tanner Baldwin registered the first Six Nations goal of the playoffs for the Rebels at 9:28 of the first period assisted by Daniel Hill. Mason Hill added to that at 14:52 from Daylen Hill.

St. Catharines got into the game with a powerplay goal scored 19 seconds into Gavin Skye’s interference call, but Travis Staats ended the first period 3-1 for the Rebels, unassisted. Five more Rebels goals in the second period, scored by Chayton King, Kobe Whitcomb, Adam Martin, Garret VyseSquire, and Mason Hill, completed 40-minutes of play with Six Nations leading 8-1.

Kahn General and Mason Hill scored in the third before Spartans’ Alex Gaston cashed in on a late game Rebels penalty for the 10-2 final. Daniel Hill earned the win in the Rebels’ net.

Game 2 was played in St. Catharines and the Spartans put on a much better show than they did in game no.1. The Rebels kept even and constant pressure on the Spartans

who came determined to even the series, and that pressure paid off.

The Rebels led 3-2 after the first period with Six Nations goals scored

by Mason Hill, Justin Martin and Riley Miller.

Six Nations crushed the Spartans in the 4-1 second period with Waylon Abrams, Chayton King, Jesse Longboat and Wes Whitlow putting the Rebels up 7-3.

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The other teams in the OJALL lacrosse system are happy with the Six Nations Arrows less than impressive 6-8-0 season after 14-game so far this year. The Arrows did not get off to a good start and have been sputtering along so with inconsistent play giving away as many goals as they have scored following Saturday’s 10-8 overtime loss at the hands of the Orangeville Northmen.

Outside of veterans Austin Staats (36G,36A) and Travis longboat, (21G,23A), there hasn’t been a lot of offence in the Arrows mostly rookie lineup after losing several of last years’ team to overage.

The Arrows are watching the league from an unfamiliar vantage point so far this year, tied for

"Oh no you don’t!" is what Rebels defender Jesse Longboat seems to be saying - after bowling over Spartan attacker Alex Gaston at the edge of the crease. Saturday night in Game 1 of the best of five series which the Rebels are up 2-0. Game 3 is at the PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE Iroquois Lacrosse Arena this Friday night.

Six Nations Arrows Travis Longboat has been a big part of the Arrows team since breaking into the Arrows lineup in 2015. He has been back and forth with the Jr. B Rebels a few times but so far this season he has 21 goals and 23 assists for 44 points in 14 games played and is providing leadership PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE on a young Arrows team.

eighth place with the KW Braves after 14 games, but a good late-season surge could move them

into the top five.

As of Monday, the Burlington Chiefs, Brampton Excelsiors, St, Catharines

Athletics and Orangeville Northmen are all ganged up for first with 22 points each. Whitby, Mimico, and

Toronto Beaches stand between the Arrows and the top four.

Sunday night at the ILA, the Orangemen and Arrows traded first period goals with Austin Staats scoring first from Kevin Owen Hill and Drayden Patey at 1:11.

Orangeville rebounded at 13:38 as Northmen sharp-shooter Kyle Waters began his five-goal, three-assist game to end the first period. 1-1.

Thirty-eight seconds into the second period Orangeville was up 2-1, but Longboat drew the teams even again at 2-2 at 1:25 from Leland Powless and Owen S. Hill. Waters closed out the period with his second and third of the game, the second one on a Northmen powerplay, and it was 4-2.

Travis Brown put Orangeville back on top with another powerplay goal.

The Northstars were 3-6 on the powerplay while the Arrows were 0-3 in

Lions Club Arena. Game 5, if necessary, will come back to the ILA July 2 at 8 p.m.

that department.

The Arrows found themselves down 7-4 with less than five minutes remaining in regulations time when Longboat scored from Tehoka Nanticoke and Jeremy Bomberry cut the Northmen lead to two.

Then Devon Buckshot and Owen S. Hill stunned the visitors scoring at 19:37 and 19:55 to send the game into an overtime period where Waters scored his fourth and fifth of the game and Curtis Bukta added another for the Northmen before Nanticoke scored Six Nations last marker of the game for the one point Six Nations loss.

The Arrows were in Whitby Tuesday night in a game that will miss our deadline and will be in Peterborough Friday night to face the Lakers.

Sunday, July 1st, the Lakers will be at the ILA for an afternoon return match, beginning at 3 pm.

Chiefs wrestle with Kodiaks for a victory CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena hosted a great evening of lacrosse last Tuesday as the Chiefs met with the Cobourg Kodiaks (formerly Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks).

A rough game with a lot of back and forth packed the stands with spectators and the floor was full of hostility from the first period onward.

Three minutes in the Kodiaks opened the scoring. But four minutes of outside shots and fast paced transition on both sides gave the Chiefs their first goal by Eric Fannell from Kyle Jackson.

The Kodiaks were keen on keeping the lead however and quickly broke the tie. But this didn’t deter the Chiefs, who returned a minute later with a bury from Quinn Powless, from Cody Jamieson.

This built enough momentum for the Chiefs to want to continue scoring and take a firm lead. Powless buried his second and Jordan Durston earned his first from Randy Staats, and Fannell. But the rough

nature of the game pulled three penalties throughout the period on both sides, this set the tone for the rest of the game as aggression began to build.

But coming back to the floor with a two goal deficit 2-4, the Kodiaks seemed energetic and focused on regaining the lead.

With 26 seconds into the period the Kodiaks

made an unassisted goal from the draw, which Kyle Jackson quickly returned after passes from Brayden Hill and Brendan Bomberry. But scoring seemed to go back and forth as the Chiefs returned each advance made by the Kodiaks with hard-fought goals from Dhane Smith (2) and Durston for his second.

But the Kodiaks were

determined and scored four more, finishing the second with the small lead that they worked hard for at 9-8.

And as soon as they returned for the third period, the Kodiaks were prepared to lengthen their

lead. With four minutes in and only seconds apart, the Kodiaks buried two goals with quick and timed passes to the inside.

However, this would close the scoring for the Kodiaks as the Chiefs played catch up.

Seven minutes in, Durston went for a hattrick with passes from Jamieson and Staats.

While Powless worked hard from the outside to land his third, after a pass from Jackson. This put Smith into action as well as he scored two within minutes, while Staats beat half of the defence to reach around the Kodiaks goalie to score his first.

This finalized scoring for both sides, but as the end of the game neared and with no hope of making a come back, the claws came out from the Kodiaks.

But the large scuffle at the end of the game initiated by the Kodiaks in frustration still didn’t change the scoreboard, as the game completed 1311 for the Chiefs.

Their next home game will host the Brampton Excelsiors the at the ILA at 8 p.m., on Tuesday, July 3.

Warriors bully the Bulldogs

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — An uneven match up made for some stat earning for the Warriors at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena last Saturday, as they hosted the Halton Hills Bulldogs.

Equipped with only nine runners, the Bulldogs couldn’t muster up much of a fight throughout the game and goalie Jordan Rowsell could only do so much.

The first period opened scoring for the Warriors in a mere thirty seconds, as Tehas Powless scored his first. Throughout the period goals came from Jon Parry Smith, Tristan Lovell, Shane Henry, Ryan Johnson, Greg Lighthatch, and Jake Smith.

A long game for the Bulldogs gave the Warriors an easy opportuPHOTO BY CHEZNEY nity to rack up some stats as they won 23-3.

The Bulldogs simply couldn’t break out of their end and their efforts in throwing the ball up the floor was either intercept-

The second period proved to be no better, but the Warriors eased off on scoring with a haul of only four goals. Goals

by Matts Miller, Logan Anderson, Sam Gowland and Shane Henry for his second hit the board to finish the period 11-0.

The third period continued with a higher focus on scoring, but the

Warriors made the game enjoyable to watch as they were light hearted on the floor. During face offs they would perform a game of rock, paper, scissors or give the Bulldogs a bit of a chance when they moved to offence.

The Bulldogs used the opportunity to return three goals, each landed by their Captain Tyler Morris. But the Warriors themselves made the

third their highest scoring period.

Kennedy Miller (2), Parry Smith for his second, Lighthatch for his second, Powless for his second, Smith for his second, Jaxon Martin (unassisted), Riley Jamieson, Henry for a hat-trick, and Anderson for a hat-trick.

The game finalized at a boastful victory of 23 - 3 for the Warriors.

Our dad passed away, peacefully in his sleep on June 20, 2018 at the age of 87. His work here is done but his memory is still strong among his children Terri (Mike), Susan (Tannis), Gerald Scott (Robert), and Richard. He had great affection and respect for his brother Glenn (Lois), their children, and for all the children of his sister Wilma. He is predeceased by his wife Cora (Martin), his mother Frida Beaver, father Joe "Jacket" Hill, sisters Wilma Martin and Doris McNaughton.

When we think of our father, we think of all the many sports he loved to watch and play. We remember him out on the land, hunting, cutting wood, farming, or just walking through the bush. He was a carpenter, farmer, and for many years a welder at Massey Ferguson in Brantford. He survived two residential schools and was a strong, strong man. We expect that he's already playing six-hand euchre right now with mum, Bob & Bernice Jamieson, Auntie Rita, and Uncle Raymond.

They will hold him precious until we meet again.
