MEXICO — Two Row Times correspondent José Luis Granados Ceja travelled with a Honduran migrant caravan this month through Guatemala and more, and found that those within the caravan are looking for opportunities elsewhere because their homelands are full of crime and poverty. In his writing, Ceja takes an in depth and immersive look into the choices of migrants, as they tell the story of feeling they have no other option.

Police shoot, kill indigenous woman in Hamilton

STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON— Ontario's police watchdog says it is investigating a police-involved shooting that left a woman dead in Hamilton early Saturday morning.

A Special Investigations Unit spokesman says Hamilton police received a call about a woman with a knife in a home at about 1 a.m.

He says when police arrived at the scene there was an interaction between officers and the

woman, and an officer shot a firearm.

He says the woman was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead. She has since been identified as 30 year old Robyn Garlow.

Reports from the woman’s family say she was first tazed by police and then shot four times.

This is the second fatal shooting by Hamilton Police this year.

The spokesman for the SIU declined to provide further details about the incident.

Kevin Davis overwhelmingly defeated Chris Friel for Mayor in Brantford

with Davis receiving 53% of the vote against Friel’s 30%.

Haldimand County incumbent Ken Hewitt was re-elected with just over 50% of the vote. Kristal Chopp was elected in Norfolk County with 54.5% of the vote defeating Charlie Luke by nearly 12%.

Voter turnout in the surrounding region was relatively low with an average of 35% across the

board for eligible voters coming out to cast their ballots.

Some technical difficulties presented during this year’s new online voting

system in Brantford. The website for voting was down for several hours. As a result the city extended poll deadlines to 9 p.m. for both online and in person

voting.

Hamilton’s Fred Eisenberger was re-elected to a third term as mayor, defeating 14 others who were vying for the seat. Paul Fromm, a noted racist who was in the running, was defeated ending seventh in line with 706 votes.

Toronto’s Mayor John Tory was also re-elected in a swooping victory with 63% of the vote in a race of 34 other candidates.

Tory won in a controversial campaign after the province reduced the city’s council to 25 seats — and after another noted racist, Faith Goldy, announced her intention to run. Goldy came in third with 25667 votes representing 3.4% of the ballot.

The S-word: It's origins mean nothing in the name of profit Editorial by Chezney Martin

CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

I thought I’d be writing another editorial bashing indigenous based cos-tumes this close to Halloween, but nay. A new topic has emerged.

Recently, a boutique situated in Texas using the name “The Spunky Squaw” has been under fire by “hate groups,” (the definition of a hate group is a social group that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, nation, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society, by the way).

Brooke Adams, a 21 year old college students, opened up her instagram boutique last winter and described it as a “trendsetting boutique with a love for western flair,” and translated the s-word as “it literally means a lively Native American woman.”

Since then, she has seen just how “lively” indigenous women can be and doesn’t like it.

But before we get into that, let’s look at the word and it’s origin.

The s-word itself comes from the Algonkian language and refers to a “female.”

So I respect the linguistics of origin, but I cannot respect the use of the word in modern times by non-Algonquian speakers.

Myself, and so many other indigenous women come from back grounds where their female ancestors worked the fields.

They carried and raised the children. They were

these abundantly strong, spiritual forces of na-ture born in the flesh to carry on their bloodlines with the protection and help of their male counterparts.

With everything that has happened in our recent history, indigenous women today fight to be like the women of our past.

And the s-word undermines that fight with the way it is used.

I mean, tell me why a native man isn’t called something like the s-word? You can’t, unless you understand colonial patriarchy and the history of sexualization and fetishization of indigenous women.

So even if you use the term in the nicest of voices, tones and all of that — you are perpetuating the stereotypes that have been attached to the word over the course of years.

In other words the s-word itself is mainly functionless in today’s world by non-indigenous people, unless it’s used as

an insult.

In Mohawk, “otsiskhwa” refers to female genitals and you can see it in the last syllable “skhwa.” So, when Pauline Johnson wrote of the disrespect behind the s-word used to describe a heroine, it’s easy to understand why.

By using one term from one language, you are thus fuelling yet another stereotype that all indigenous people wear headdresses, live in teepees and say “hao.”

This is why it is so important not to lump indigenous people into one big ball of people. And if we, with all of our differences and histories, can re-gard one another’s cultures as unique and different — then the rest of the world should be able to too.

The other thing is, is that the moment that the s-word became an insult, it became a racial slur.

No matter the linguistic origin.

This boutique owner claims she meant no harm

the name after it offended so many, wouldn’t she?

But I guess that’s too much work to do for someone that allowed a mod-el to wear a mock headdress with a t-shirt that read “fuelled by whis-key,” then later said “I don’t know anything about indigenous stereo-types.”

Like I don’t buy it.

The loads of online hate that she’s receiving is something that she’s playing victim to now as well, but I can’t find sympathy.

Indigenous women

today are lineal descendants of powerful women, and them coming together to angrily bash Adams for making profits under a racial slur is something that is to be expected. I’m also sure that it is a part of inter-generational anger and mutual demand for respect that is coming forth.

But miss Adams probably didn’t know anything about that, did she?

She does now.

Shout out to Rhiannon Babyn.

in the name of her shop and loves Native American culture, and has a plethora of supporters and employees.

One of them being Makayla Baker, who called a commenter on Insta-gram a “damn squaw,” twice. So again, they’re not as ignorant as they claim to be because if it wasn’t a derogatory term, miss Baker wouldn’t have used it to insult.

“If you’re bothered by this then you’re too sensitive to the world,” wrote Adams to Instagram — this is the same woman that called indigenous women and their nations “hate groups,” mind you.

From my perspective, she wants to think that her brand is for women, while subjugating and profiting off of a faction of women that have been hyper-sexualized for decades at the same time.

In my perusing I think my main thought is that if her brand was really for women, she would change

Six Nations remembers warriors

Hundreds served in military not as subjects of Canda but as allies of Great Britain JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations warriors, fighting under the British Flag, sacrificed their youth and many of their lives in honour of the Two Row Wampum and Covenant Chain Wampum treaties made between the League of Five Nations and the British Crown. Six Nations traditionally celebrates Remembrance Day earlier than Canadians to set apart the sacrifices made my First Nations warriors from across the country.

Last weekend, family and friends of those veterans gathered to recognize their contributions.

Some of their stories have been told but so many others have not been specifically recognized for their choice to fight along side the British as their ancestors have done almost since contact.

Gladly, there are some of these stories that have been preserved — not only on the stone of the Ohsweken and New Credit cenotaph, but in the memories of the families they fought and died for.

The following is only a sample of the hundreds of brave Onkwehonwe warriors who died in Battle in recent times. The hundreds and even thousands of names of earlier

warriors of the Revolution and 1812, have been lost to history. But there are few fragments of their history left behind.

A Brantford Expositor article dated to the WWI area, explains to its non-native readers what the official stance of the Canadian military was regarding subscription.

“The reason as to why the Indians could be conscripted was given at a meeting of the Six Nations Indian Council which was held in the council hall at 11 o’clock yesterday morning. This question

was amongst a number which brought Mr. D.C. Scott, the deputy superintendent of Indian Affairs, up from Ottawa for a conference with the chiefs.

The question was asked Mr. Scott during the meeting why the Indian could be conscripted when he was not a subject, but a ward of the government.

To this Mr. Scott answered that since the Six Nations were allies of Great Britain, they were subject to conscription.

This answer appeared to satisfy the chiefs. It was remarked that about 400

Indians from this reserve (Six Nations) are now overseas.

The council chamber had been decorated a manner befitting the occasion by the chiefs, but through some misunderstanding a report got abroad that Mr. Scott was not coming, so the decorations were removed. It had also been the intention to give the deputy superintendent and Indian name. However, to the surprise of the chiefs, there were 21 present, and Mr. Scott and the In-

dian Agent, Major Gordon Smith, arrived before the session was over.

The ceremony that was to have taken place was postponed and Mr. Scott promised to return in the near future. A number of other matters of importance were taken up with the deputy superintendent. Mr. Scott and Major Smith spent the afternoon at the fair.

The sum of $400 was granted this year by the council to assist the agricultural society.”

Walking with the Honduran Migrant Caravan

An estimated 7500 people are fleeing unemployment and violence, walking north to Mexico and the United States them as some dance to the music, elsewhere kids of all ages chase a soccer ball.

The local mayor has come out to greet the migrants and hand out much needed supplies: milk for the children and sanitary napkins for the women. She also makes an impassioned plea to the media, asking for support.

By Friday afternoon there are already an estimated 7,000 migrants in Ciudad Hidalgo, far more than the city has ever had to receive at once, and even more are headed here.

José Luis Granados Ceja granados.ceja@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

It’s Saturday morning and dawn is breaking over the main square in Ciudad Hidalgo, a small city in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas that sits on the River Suchiate that separates Mexico from Guatemala. The thousands of Honduras migrants who slept here are rustled from their sleep by organizers who are gathering them for an impromptu assembly. The migrant caravan is largely a self-organized affair but several people have taken it upon themselves to ensure people are fed, sheltered, as kept as safe as possible given the conditions.

Nearly all of of those on this journey are Honduran and hail from cities like San Pedro Sula, Tela, and Progreso, where crime and poverty have driven them to seek opportunity elsewhere.

When asked, all of the migrants express the same thing: they endure this because they truly feel like they have no other option. The government of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez is uninterested in the welfare of the country’s poor, Indigenous, and afro-descendent people. In fact, under his rule, poverty has only grown worse and efforts to

oust him through elections were stymied by a naked electoral fraud.

So they migrate, heading north as part of this caravan.

Though the journey has really only barely begun, many are tired and malnourished, while some are tending to wounds inflicted on them by the Mexican Federal Police a day earlier.

A SCENE OF REPRESSION

The caravan had already passed through Guatemala and had reached the Guatemala-Mexico border on Friday, where it was met with a shuttered fence. It didn’t take long before the

fence was brought down and the massive crowd pushed forward, reaching the official checkpoint at the other end of the bridge on the Mexican side of the border.

Federal Police unleashed tear gas on the crowd, despite the fact that women and children were at the front. In the face of repression, many ran backward, back across the bridge, some jumped over the side into the shallow river below, paramedics on site reported having to treat sprains, bruises, and psychologists expressed concern for the mental health of those present, especially the children.

Mexican officials claimed they were merely trying to control the crowd so there could be an orderly entry. But from that point on, the official entry point was effectively closed. Officials said they would process 300 people a day, but with thousands already on the border and thousands more headed their way, they would never be able to keep pace.

For the migrants on this caravan, there is no going back, the only thing that awaits them in Honduras is unemployment and violence. Many chose to make camp there on the bridge, hoping the chain holding the massive white gate will be unlocked and the crowd allowed to pass.

But others press forward, one way or another.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Mere metres from the

official crossing there is a landing where for $1.80 you can be ferried across the river on a homemade raft made of wooden planks and tractor tire inner tubes. Migrant families pile onboard, carrying infants and toddlers in their arms for the quick journey across. Despite the fact that the Mexican government had sent a Boeing 727 full of police, this crossing is totally un-

guarded. Migrants are met by their compatriots who cheer as they set foot on Mexican soil. A few metres ahead is a truck from the Red Cross, who hands out water to each person as they pass.

Inside the main square in Ciudad Hidalgo people take shelter from the relentless heat and humidity, a local band has come to the plaza to play and a crowd forms around

The migrants have already endured over a week of travel, but here the will of the majority is respected and the assembly has decided it is time to move on to the next city, in this case Tapachula, approximately 30 kilometres away. People pack up their things and set out on foot.

Trump vilifies caravan, says he'll cut Central American aid

By Zeke Miller And Jill Colvin WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the U.S. will begin cutting aid to three Central American countries he accused of failing to stop thousands of migrants heading for the U.S. border. But across his administration there was no indication of any action in response to what he tweeted was a ``National Emergy.''

For hours on Monday, White House officials were unable to provide

an explanation for the president's threats, which reflected both his apparent frustration with the migrant caravan and his

determination to transform it into Republican election gains. Federal agencies said they'd received no guidance on the president's declara-

tion, issued as he attempts to make illegal immigration a focus of next month's midterm elections.

If Trump should follow through with his threat to end or greatly reduce U.S. aid, that could worsen the poverty and violence that are a root cause of the migration he has been railing against, critics said.

Trump tweeted, ``Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.'' He added without evidence that

``criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in.'' ``I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy,'' he wrote. ``Must change laws!''

Associated Press journalists travelling with the caravan for more than a week have spoken with Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans but have not met any of the ``Middle Easterners'' that Trump claimed had ``mixed in'' with the Central American migrants. It was clear, though, that more migrants were continuing to join the caravan.

Trump's tweets marked the latest escalation of his efforts to thrust immigration politics into the national conversation in the closing weeks of the congressional elections. He and his senior aides have long believed the issue _ which was a centerpiece of his winning presidential campaign _ is key to revving up his base and motivating GOP voters to turn out in November. ``Blame the Democrats,'' he wrote. ``Remember the midterms.''

At a campaign rally in Houston on Monday night, he falsely accused Democrats of ``encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our nation.''

Trump for months has sought to use foreign aid as a cudgel more broadly, threatening to withhold humanitarian and other aid from ``enemies of America'' and using it to pressure foreign governments to bend to his will. On Monday, he said he would be making good on his threat. ``Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them,'' he wrote.

He added later at the White House: ``We have been giving so much money to so many different countries for so long that it's not fair and it's not good. And then when we ask them to keep their people in their country, they're unable to do it.''

However, it was unclear

whether the president's tweets had any policy implications.

A Pentagon spokesman, Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, said the Pentagon had received no new orders to provide troops for border security. And a State Department official said the agency had not been given any instructions on eliminating or reducing aid to Central American countries.

Last April, Defence Secretary James Mattis authorized up to 4,000 members of the National Guard to help the Department of Homeland Security with southern border security, and approximately 2,100 were sent under the control of border state governors.

That number, Davis said, has not changed.

The Pentagon also said it was going ahead with plans to include Honduras among the South American nations that will be visited this fall by the USNS Comfort, a hospital ship that Mattis has dispatched to help relieve stress on medical care systems as a result of refugees from Venezuela.

The Comfort began treating patients in Ecuador on Monday and is scheduled to make stops in Peru, Colombia and Honduras, according to Pentagon spokesman Col. Rob Manning. ``The deployment reflects the United States' enduring promise of friendship, partnership and solidarity with the Americas,'' Manning said.

Asked what the administration was doing to operationalize the president's tweet, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Monday evening that ``we're continuing to look at all options on the table.'' ``The president wants to make sure we're doing everything we can to secure and protect our borders and that's exactly what he's been talking about,'' she said.

It is Congress, not the president, that appropriates aid money. The White House would have to notify Congress if it wanted to cut or reallocate aid, which could delay or complicate the process.

the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Monday that ``my colleagues and I will not stand idly by as this administration ignores congressional intent.''

The three countries received about $500 million from the U.S. in fiscal year 2017. That money funds programs that promote economic development and education, as well as supporting democracy and human rights, among other issues. It was not immediately clear how much mon-

ey Trump now hopes to cut, though the administration already had been pushing to reduce the government's global aid and foreign operations budget by about 30 per cent for fiscal 2019 that began Oct 1.

Paul O'Brien, the vice-president for policy and advocacy at Oxfam America, said that any attempts to decrease aid to the Central American countries would be ``devastating'' since the U.S. is a key investor in the region,

funding programs on issues ranging from workforce development to reducing violence and improving human rights. In addition, other investors look to the U.S. as a guide. ``If you take that money away or you make it unpredictable, you're actually going to foster the very conditions that are driving people toward migration,'' said O'Brien, who accused Trump of ``essentially seeking to use migrants as a political chip.''

#ItsNotCleanUntilItsKanataClean

MONTREAL — The federal government says it will respond to pleas for help from northern Quebec, where a spate of suicides in Inuit communities this year has created what officials are calling a crisis. ``As a government, it's truly a priority of ours that we put in place the support that people need,'' Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said Monday. She added that any loss of life by suicide ``is just tragic.''

Heath authorities in Nunavik, the Quebec region that is home to the province's Inuit communities, have already sent extra mental-health resources to one hard hit village, Puvirnituq. ``This is considered a crisis situation,'' Fabien Pernet, assistant to the executive director of the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services, said in a recent interview.

The head of the school board serving the region said last week that two students have died by suicide since the beginning of the school year in mid-August, and three other young adults have taken their lives in the past month.

In an Oct. 12 letter, the head of the region's council of school commissioners called for ``urgent collective action'' and noted that one of the suicide victims was just 11 years old.

According to media reports, Puvirnituq on Hudson Bay has had at least 10 suicides since the beginning of 2018. A coroner's investigation is ongoing.

The deaths prompted a public lament from Mary Simon, a longtime Inuit advocate and former Canadian diplomat, who posted a widely shared message on Facebook about the recent suicide of her 22-year-old niece. ``The reason I'm telling this story is to show we desperately need ongoing mental health support and services in every Inuit community,'' Simon wrote. ``We have a crisis on our hands, and if we can't provide the medical and other mental health support in the communities, it is not going to

get better. It will get worse.''

Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said in a statement last Friday she is deeply concerned by the loss of young lives in Nunavik and has offered additional support. She said the government continues to work with communities to support Inuit-led approaches to suicide prevention. ``Inuit want to be able to receive services that are culturally appropriate, in their own language,'' Petitpas Taylor said Monday after speaking at the Canadian Mental Health Association conference in Montreal. ``So we're looking at ways to get more people trained _ in nursing, in psychology or social work _ that would be a step in the right direction.''

Pernet said it remains a challenge to provide Inuit-to-Inuit mental health care _ as well as health and social services on a broader level _ because of such obstacles as labour agreements and professional licensing issues.

He said that in 2010, suicide prevention was made a regional health priority. Recent measures have included resources and support through a Facebook page, new crisis-intervention plans and social programs aimed at improving communication among families.

Statistics from the Que-

bec coroner's office show little change in the number of deaths by suicide in the region between 2000 and 2013. But given the current crisis, there is reason to believe those figures will be higher this year. ``There's no actual improvement from 2000 to 2013, but there's a lot that has been implemented from 2013 until today,'' Pernet said. ``If you compare where we were four years ago and where we are at now, we've developed a capacity that we didn't have. Yet it's not sufficient, and we see it with these suicide clusters happening in Puvirnituq again.''

Louis Sorin, a Manitoba-based Indigenous mental-health advocate, said it is important to look at suicide as a symptom of a social disease and not just an individual medical condition. ``We have to move beyond an individualized response to a collective and community response,'' Sorin, a member of the national board of directors of the Canadian Mental Health Association, said. ``We have to make space and validate the voices of those involved locally, because they really know something that's actually very important.''

An annual conference being held next week in Nunavik will focus on the rash of deaths.

'In our bloodline:' Land based learning links curriculum with culture REGINA — A school day for six-year-old Hunter Sasakamoose can start with lighting a fire for breakfast and end with doing math by candlelight.

In between, the boy learns life skills such as hunting and fishing as well as first-hand science lessons about how rain soaks into the ground to help grow the plants he's harvesting.

His education combines lessons from his ancestors on the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation in Saskatchewan

with the curriculum of his peers in Regina, where he goes to school half the year.

He's taking part in land-based learning and his mother, JoLee Sasakamoose, is his teacher. ``We have this ability to just live and have the school be a part of how we are living,'' she said. ``The lessons evolved really naturally.''

Sasakamoose, an education professor at the University of Regina and research director with the

Indigenous Wellness Research Institute, grew up with land-based learning on the M'Chigeeng First Nation in Ontario. Those lessons have influenced her work as a professor and how she is raising her child.

Hunter was enrolled in Prairie Sky School _ a Waldorf-style school with a focus on art, community and nature _ but when Sasakamoose was on sabbatical from her teaching position, she wanted to bring education onto the

Six Nations Community Development Trust Fund Oneida Business Park, 50 Generations Drive Box 7, Suite 111, Ohsweken, ON N0A 1M0 Phone: (905) 765-1236 Fax: (905) 765-2755 Email: sntrust@sninternet.com

NON RESIDENT TRUSTEE

The Six Nations Community Development Trust (SNCDT) is seeking one (1) Non Resident (Off Reserve) Trustee. The Non Resident Trustee will serve a term which expires on November 30, 2019. The Trust Agreement defines the Non Resident Trustee “means members of the Six Nations of the Grand River who are listed on the Band list, as maintained by the First Nation during the term of the Six Nations of the Grand River Community Development Trust and who are ordinarily a non-resident on the Reserve.”

The SNCDT was created to be a long-term asset for Six Nations Members. The goal of the Six Nations Community Development Trust Fund is to manage the Trust to generate and grow capital that will be used to achieve the goals of the Six Nations Community. The Trust Agreement between The Trust and Chief and Council determines the conditions by which The Trust operates.

The Trust Board consists of seven (7) members appointed from the Community and from Chief and Council and an independent member. The Trust staff consists of a full-time Trust Coordinator.

The Non Resident Trustee will be able to attend monthly meetings, available for committee participation, available to meet on as needed basis, will be available weekly to sign cheques and cheque requisitions, and will adhere to the terms and conditions as defined in the Trust Agreement, Trustee’s Oath of Office, and Conflict of Interest Policies.

Those interested, are required to provide a cover letter indicating why you would like to become a Trustee and a recent Resume with three (3) letters of reference (at least one work related) to: Six Nations Community Development Trust “NON Resident Trustee” Oneida Business Park, 50 Generations Drive Box 7, Suite 111 Ohsweken, ON N0A 1M0 Please note the successful candidate will be required to have a CPIC background check completed.

Deadline Date: Friday, October 26, 2018 no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon)

land where her son's relatives have always found their teachings.

It meant a unique style of home-schooling in a cabin with no electricity or running water, about 400 kilometres north of Regina.

Land-based learning has always been a part of First Nations culture. It encourages critical thought through interaction with the land, an understanding of nature and its relation to science _ all the while connecting with and celebrating Indigenous culture.

In Winnipeg, three schools created a landbased education initiative for the 2016-17 school year. In Saskatchewan, the Treaty 4 Education Alliance brought in landbased education programs in 2017.

The Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning in Yellowknife has offered university credits for land-

based programming since 2010.

Kate Kent, who recently organized a land-based education conference in Winnipeg, said schools and educators are incorporating such learning into curriculums since the report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools.

Many of the commission's 94 recommendations focused on education, culture and language. ``There's so much intergenerational effects from residential school, so looking at reconciliation and moving forward, this is taking steps to try and fix what was done in the past,'' Kent said. ``It's important for our young people to learn on the land, instead of sitting in the classrooms for eight hours a day, in order to bring the cultural awareness back into our peoples.''

Sasakamoose said it

was important for her son to learn outside of an institutional environment because they are descendents of residential school survivors. ``We have it in our bloodline,'' she said. ``I don't want my son to know that (type of education.) I want him to know a natural way of interacting with the environment as long as possible.''

Hunter has now returned to his Regina school, where all the other students were excited to hear about his land-based learning, which he shared on a special Facebook page he created when it began in July.

In one of his last posts from Ahtahkakoop, the young boy points to thoughtfully laid out logs, rocks and leaves. It's part of STEAM teaching _ science, technology, engineering, art and math _ where he was required to build a fairy house.

Skoden Banksy: Part Two

CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

After a mysterious artist painted a “Skoden” mural under the Newport Bridge just outside of Brantford, question came up as to who the artist was.

On Wednesday, October 3, an email was sent to the Two Row Times with excerpts from a reflective journal written by the “Skoden Banksy” after their arrest for painting the mural.

As we published some of the reflection last week, this is part two of the reflective journal for you to enjoy:

Why do you think the Pre-Charge Program has been offered to you?

What can you gain from completing diversion successfully?

The Pre-Charge Program was offered to me as an alternative to being arrested for something I should never be arrested for in the first place. I believe the reason I was offered this “opportunity” is because the police realized they had no real ground to arrest me in the location they caught me painting, so they had to give me some sort of consequence to assert their invalid jurisdiction over our lands.

(I was only a few feet away from the river. According to the Haldimand Proclamation, Haudenosaunee lands are 6 miles (10 km) on either side of the Grand River “which them and their posterity are to enjoyforever”… (see Reference B) Since I am obligated to pay $125 for this program, I am going to get my money’s worth and write out an honest and direct reflection journal, in an effort to educate this infant Canadian law system on their flaws and areas of needed improvement.

What kind of changes are required to avoid making this mistake

again? What kind of changes are difficult for you?

You see, the kind of changes that are difficult for me include oil spills; dead zones in water ways; dried up wells; rapid spread of preventable forest fires; seeing trash everywhere; the current opioid epidemic; claiming residential school days are done yet number of indigenous children held in child welfare system exceeds the number of children incarcerated in residential schools at its peak; mass incarceration rates of black and indigenous peoples, yet white murderers and rapists still roam free; lack of justice for black and indigenous peoples in justice system; the staggering numbers of missing and murdered indigenous women; unnecessary resource exploitation; species extinction happening 1,000 times faster because of humans, etc.

What I did was no mistake. However, since you asked, I will inform you on the changes that are required: For the Canadian government to fulfill their responsibilities to this land, to the people and all living beings of this land. We’re just demanding peace while y’all want war; when you really think about it. Canada done declared war on the water, on the land, on children, indigenous peoples, on anything that holds the potential for peace.. You wanna look at me like I did something wrong because I created a painting and picked up the trash. Case and point. Mother Earth needs a break from all this destruction. Its too much. Stop it. She needs to detox now. Halt all projects that perpetuate the destruction. It’s time we apply our efforts and our moneys toward cleaning up the mess. It makes no sense to invest in further destruction and depletion of resources. Especially given the fact that we know full well that there are safer, cleaner, sustain-

able alternatives for generating power and basking in comfort. We don’t need to do things this way. If installing a pipeline can create hundreds of jobs, well I’m sure you could also create hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs for taking the pipelines out, cleaning the mess and installing technologies for sustainable energy alternatives. The research and all the tools are all out there, just waiting to get funded. I need the Canadian government to be more responsible with their money and more conscious of their actions.

There’s a whole lot of life depending on it.

On this territory, we have what is called the Dish With One Spoon Treaty. It “is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers, have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.”

We, as Indigenous peoples of this land, consider this a shared responsibility.

When they offered reconciliation, this is what we had in mind. “We all eat out of the Dish – all of us that share this territory – with only one spoon. That means we have to share the responsibility of ensuring the dish is never empty; which includes, taking care of the land and the creatures we share it with.

Importantly, there are no knives at the table, representing that we must keep the peace.” (See Reference C) When we say we want our land back, there is never any mention of settlers going back to where they come from (unless of course it is a joke or phrase thrown back at them). Protecting the land and sharing our territory is an agreement our ancestors bounded us to within the Dish With One Spoon Treaty. When we say we want our land back,

we mean we want our connection with the land back. We want our ways to be honoured and respected so that the land can again, be honoured and respected. It is our belief that when the collective of humans inhabiting this land can do this-protect the sacred- then the health of our land and water and people and creatures, will be improved.

We declare peace.

They declare war. We are warriors, yet we buried the hatchet years ago. That was part of our evolution process. Yet, here they are, still declaring war.

Therefore, we have to get creative with our battle strategy. They bring their weapons of war. We bring our weapons of peace and say, “SKODEN.”

What makes a person responsible?

As defined by Oxford Dictionary; to be responsible means “having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role.” As a Haudenosaunee Hip-Hop artist who belongs to the Six Nations community, it was my obligation to fix that wall. Not to only fix it, but to create something with it that is meaningful, impactful and which properly represents both cultures. [Responsibility check 1.] In painting this wall, in this way, I took control over how Hip-Hop is being visually represented in our territory.

[Responsibility check 2.]

In cleaning up the literal trash and the trash painted on this wall, while simultaneously writing a bold statement which urges community members to “Protect the Sacred”, I am exuding care for the children, land, and water (as these are the ones who are most directly impacted by the irresponsible decisions carried out by the Government of Canada and all of its complacent allies.)

[Responsibility check 3.]

What you are considering an offence in this case, was

in fact, my obligation, my role, my job to take on. Given the positive feedback I’ve received from my community, I believe it is safe to say that I have effectively fulfilled my responsibility in this matter.

Had Canada fulfilled their responsibility with regards to protecting the waters, like Justin Trudeau PROMISED 12 year old Autumn Peltier he would do (see reference D), honouring our treaties, ensuring proper housing, drinkable water and resources are allocated to first nations communities, etcetera, etcetera; then maybe you wouldn’t see so many SKODEN’s painted everywhere. The people are rising, waking up and urging their communities, as well as government officials, to step to the plate and fulfill their responsibilities to the land, to the water, to the children. I’m happy you asked this question though, RESPONSIBILITY IS IMPORTANT. Responsi-

bility is a founding principle within the Great Law of Peace and it is something I take seriously.

What can you do better next time? What could you have done differently that might have resulted in a better outcome?

Well, this is my first graffiti piece. There is so much area for improvement. Next piece I do I want to get more creative with the letters. The colour blend was a nice touch.

However, I really gotta work on my small letters.

Trying to write letters any smaller than a hardcover textbook is super tricky with a spray can. I had to re-do that “protect the sacred” several times and still, I feel like it looks sloppy. Maybe next time I’ll hit it with a paint marker, but I’m sure a little more practice with my cans will help me get the groove just right.

PBS series 'Native America' recreates cultures pre-1492

ALBUQUERQUE —The story of Native America taught in U.S. public schools usually begins at contact with European explorers. Children then get lessons about Thanksgiving, maybe the Trail of Tears or the 19th century wars over the removal of tribes in the American West. Rarely discussed is life in the Americas before Columbus' 1492 voyage.

A new four-part PBS docuseries entitled ``Native America'' seeks to recreate a world in the Americas generations prior to the arrival of Europeans. Using archaeology, Native American oral traditions, even high-tech 3D renditions, viewers are presented images of busy cities connected by networks that span from the present-day United States to South America.

The docuseries shows how Chaco Canyon in New Mexico became a busy spiritual and commercial centre that stood five stories high in the desert sky, centuries before skyscrapers went up in New York.

They also discuss the tunnel under a pyramid in Teotihuacan, Mexico, that revealed an intricate belief system that was also found elsewhere. And outside present-day St. Louis, Missouri, 10,000

people helped erect massive earthwork pyramids into a city now known as Cahokia around the time the real-life Macbeth ruled Scotland.

Series executive producer and director Gary Glassman said the project took more than a year to plan because producers wanted to make sure they had buy-in from Native American communities the documentaries sought

Another Blackhawks point shot eluded the Tavistock goalie for the 3-0 goal.

Tavistock got into the game near the mid-way of the game but there would be no more as Six Nations tightened up defensively and Caleb Martin was a wall in the Six Nations net.

Tavistock thought it had its second goal late in the period but it was called back after a huddle of officials judged against letting the goal stand.

White put a second notch on his stick with 7:13 left in the third period with a shot through traffic that pin-balled off of several legs before going in. George Bomberry closed out the scoring with a shot that deflected off a defensemen for the 5-1 final.

ANAHEIM CA — Montour put up two assists Sunday in the Anaheim Ducks 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Going into Tuesday’s away game in Chicago, Montour has a goal and two assists in nine games from the blue line.

Montour took the puck at the blue line and walked in to just above the face-off circle and ripped a wrist shot through a bunch of legs touching rookie Sam Steel’s stick before going in to register Steel’s first NHL goal.

A little while later, Montour cleared his own zone with a flip pass and sent Ducks’ Kiefer Sherwood in at full flight, and just like that, it was 2-0, Anaheim.

But the Ducks went south after that and allowed the Sabers a 4-2 come-from-behind rally win.

The Ducks will stay on

the road Thursday when they are in Dallas to face the Stars, before returning home to host the San Jose Sharks, Sunday and the Flyers Tuesday.

As of Monday, October 22nd, Anaheim tops the Pacific Division with a 5-3-1 record for 11 points, however Calgary and Vancouver both play this weekend and both have a game in hand over the Ducks. In the 15 team Western Conference , the Ducks are tied with Winnipeg for third spot behind Colorado and first place Nashville.

Meanwhile, in Toronto, Leaf fans are enjoying a good start to the new NHL season. As of Monday, and after nine games, Toronto is in third place over-all with six wins, three losses for 12 points. Colorado is tied in points with the Ducks but they hold a game in hand over Anaheim. Nashville is in first with seven wins and only one loss.

Iroquois Nationals name Curt Styres GM Six in a row for Williams JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

ROCHESTER — The Iroquois Nationals have named Curt Styres the general manager for the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship. The Rochester Knighthawks Owner and General Manager will lead the four-time silver medalists into next year’s worlds in Langley, BC. “It’s a huge honor to be part of the process of putting together a world team,” said Styres. “Just to be part of the history of the team is pretty incredible.”

Over the past two decades, the Mohawk from Six Nations has established himself as one of the top sports executives in North America. He recently completed his eighth season as the Knighthawks’ GM. During his tenure, the Knighthawks have advanced to the playoffs six times, reached the Finals on four occasions and won a league-record three straight championships from 2012-14. In 2011, he was named the winner of the General Manager of the Year and Executive of the Year awards.

This past season, which was his 10th as the franchise’s owner, Styres added a second General Manager of the Year award after retooling the Knighthawks back into a Cup contender.

It was a fantastic turnaround over a two-year period for the Knighthawks,

who returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2015. He rebuilt the roster through trades, free agent signings, and the draft.

The success of the Knighthawks strengthened Styres’ bid to become the Iroquois Nationals general manager.

“It’s a great opportunity for our program to have somebody of the caliber of Curt coming on board,” said Ansley Jemison, who is the Executive Director of Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse. “He brings professionalism, knowledge, and understanding of the game.

Similar to the Knighthawks, he knows what it takes to build a program. Now, he is taking his talents to the world level and having the opportunity to compete internationally. It’s a new and exciting moment.”

“A lot of people have seen what he’s done with the Knighthawks and where he has taken them in terms of building (a winner),” he added. “It’s great for our communities to see the Knighthawks, a professional organization, and our national organization come together. It’s one of those synergies we like to see, having somebody who’s in the professional ranks coming on board and helping us with our national teams.”

Since Styres bought the Knighthawks on June 19, 2008, Rochester has won 28 year-end league awards and earned 12 All-Pro honors. In 2017-18, Rochester was recognized a team-re-

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Bantam Blackhawks reps put out the Aylmer Flames 3-0 at the Gaylord Powless Arena Sunday afternoon. There was no score after the first period Devan Lickers scored for Six Nations from Owen Vanloon, and Mitch VanEvery. VanEvery then went coast to coast down the right wing and flipped a backhander from point blank, which was stopped but the rebound went right back onto his

stick and he scored on the second chance.

Minutes later he almost repeated the same goal but from the other wing.

This time he was stopped

by Holden Gibbons. But the icing was put on the cake in the third period with VanEvery scoring his second goal of the game and his third point being in on all three Six Nations goals.

cord 10 times by the NLL. The Knighthawks had three All-Pros and set a franchise record with three All-Rookie Team selections.

In his role as GM with the Knighthawks, Styres has assembled highly-successful coaching and lacrosse operations staffs. His current staff includes Knighthawks Hall of Famers Mike Hasen, Pat O’Toole, and Mike Accursi.

They are complemented by lacrosse experts Jason Johnson and Marshall Abrams.

On the lacrosse operations side, Styres has hired skilled professionals who are well-versed in analytics and player development.

The seasoned group of veterans includes Knighthawks Hall of Famer Jody Gage, who is the team’s VP of Player Personnel, and head scout Stuart Brown, who is the founder of highly-successful Edge Lacrosse.

Former goalie and Six Nations product Kevin Hill is the second-longest tenured member, having first started with the Knighthawks in 2011. Bruce Clark made the move to the professional lacrosse ranks as he accepted the other Western Scouting job with the Knighthawks in 2012.

Gewas Schindler joined the team in 2016 after serving as a coach, general manager and director for the Iroquois Nationals for five and a half years. Before the 2017-18 campaign, Styres strengthened the department with the signing of Six Nations Arrows GM Jake

Henhawk and Six Nations Chiefs General Manager Duane Jacobs.

Styres plans to use the same blueprint to construct his staff for the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship. Abrams, who played for the Iroquois at two WILC tournaments, admitted that Styres’ management style will benefit the Nationals.

“First of all, choosing Curt was a good step in the right direction for the Iroquois,” said Abrams. “We are having more of our people in high-level positions in lacrosse; I think that’s going to breed success for our program.

Styres is uniquely qualified for the position of GM of the Iroquois Nationals because he has dedicated his life to not only growing the game at the professional level but the youth level as well. He has spent countless hours coaching and managing teams and scouting talent in Six Nations. Styres also played for the Iroquois during the team’s tour of England in 1984.

“Curt is a good choice for GM because I don’t think anyone has seen more lacrosse over the past eight years than him,” said Iroquois veteran and Knighthawks forward Cody Jamieson. “He is a guy who knows almost every player in the league, knows their stats and knows their tendencies. I don’t think anyone is as prepared as him to take on a tournament like this.”
