A day to enjoy each other’s company

The age-old Bread and Cheese tradition is a day for community members from near and far to enjoy each other’s company.

The annual event, which once again brought droves of Six Nations community members from near and far to the Six Nations sports and cultural memorial grounds this past Victoria Day weekend, has become known as the quintessential yearly reunion event on the reserve.

Friends new and old gather to watch the parade wind its way through downtown Ohsweken before standing in line by the thousands to get their bread and cheese from dozens of community volunteers inside the arena every year.

This year, two special long-time volunteers were recognized by Elected Chief Sherri-lyn Hill: Steve Williams and Claudine VanEvery-Albert, who have both volunteered for the event for 40 years.

“This is about our community: gathering, laughing and having fun. This day is for family and friends to come together, share stories and cherish each other’s company.”

“This is such a great cultural event. Bread and Cheese has always made me excited, even when I was little. I do appreciate everyone coming out.”

Coun. Dean Hill said the event was also about unity among the community.

“That’s why we want to do more of these types of things.”

The weather cooperated with a warm shining sun all weekend, spectacular fireworks show Sunday night beside the baseball diamonds, and free rides all day in the parking lot for the little ones to enjoy on Monday.

The annual Bread and Cheese parade was “What’s Your Favourite Season?”

Six Nations to partner with Ontario on battery storage projects

Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation is set to become the largest Indigenous holder of energy projects in North America.

SNGRDC announced last week that on May 9, Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) will partner with Six Nations on three battery storage projects, giving Six Nations 50 per cent ownership of those projects.

The projects will be on Six Nations treaty territory:

-Elora BESS (Battery Energy Storage) 210.53 MW project capacity), located in the Township of Centre Wellington. SNGRDC is a 50 per cent partner with Aypa Power Canada Development LP.

-Hedley BESS (210.53 MW project capacity), located in Haldimand County. SNGRDC is a 50 per cent partner with Aypa Power Canada Development LP.

-Oxford Battery Energy Storage Project (125 MW project capacity), located in the Township of SouthWest Oxford. SNGRDC is a 50 per cent partner with Boralex Inc.

When these new projects are constructed, SNGRDC’s energy portfolio will grow to over one (1) Gigawatt of energy storage, making SNGRDC the largest Indigenous holder of energy storage in North

America.

“The latest round of IESO LT1 procurement is a monumental highlight in our nine years as a company,” said Matt Jamieson, President & CEO of Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation in a press release. “We have worked tirelessly to build our reputation in Ontario’s energy market as a progressive Indigenous community that is willing to invest in a cleaner future. Along the way, we’ve developed the experience and partnerships needed to ensure the energy market is fully inclusive of meaningful Indigenous participation. Our investment in energy storage will not only reduce Ontario’s reliance on fossil fuels but will also generate significant economic returns for the Six Nations community.”

SNGRDC says battery storage facilities are an “emerging solution to address the strain on Ontario’s power grid.”

These facilities consist

of large-scale lithium batteries that store surplus energy during off-peak times and release that energy back into the power grid during times of peak demand.

“The batteries used in these projects have been extensively tested against fire and no explosion, projectile event, or toxic gas has ever been observed in a lithium-ion battery installation,” SNGRDC said. “All battery storage projects must meet all necessary building code and safety requirements to proceed.”

Throughout the development phase of these projects, a Six Nations community investment review period will take place, consisting of community information sessions that will be conducted by SNGRDC and its partners.

More information on these sessions, including dates, will be shared by SNGRDC as project development progresses.

APTN set to launch new Indigenous languages channel

JACE KOBLUN jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

APTN is consolidating its four distinct feeds into two channels — APTN and APTN Languages — after the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CTRC) approved the APTN’s

request to amend its conditions of service.

This decision marks a significant milestone in APTN’s mission to enhance services and content for viewers. APTN will operate on a unified broadcast schedule featuring programming in both English and French. APTN Languages will focus on Indigenous-language pro-

gramming.

“We are excited to create the new APTN Languages channel that will expand APTN’s reach, and enhance our services,” said APTN CEO Monika Ille. “This is a key moment in the history of Indigenous Peoples, and APTN has a fundamental role to play in protecting and revitalizing our languages.”

Ille added that the CRTC’s decision is an important one and reflects recent amendments made to the Broadcasting Act to place Indigenous languages on a more equal footing with English and French in Canadian broadcasting.

APTN launched in 1999 as the first national Indigenous broadcaster in the world. Since then, the net-

work has become a global leader in programming that celebrates the rich diversity of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island and beyond. A respected non-profit and charitable broadcaster, APTN shares authentic stories in English, French and a variety of Indigenous languages with more than nine million Canadian households.

OPINION

In the midst of the Bread and Cheese Day festivities, a brief rendezvous unfolded beneath the iconic Two Row Times sign. Benjamin Doolittle, a local advocate for legal heritage and Indigenous rights, crossed paths with Brantford's soon-to-be-former Chief of Police, Robert A. Davis. With Chief Davis's impending departure in just four weeks, the timing of their encounter was nothing short of serendipitous. In a conversation that lasted roughly 20 minutes, amidst the lively parade procession, Doolittle and Davis delved into the pressing issue of jurisdictional challenges within the Six Nations community and beyond.

Drawing on his legal acumen and unwavering commitment, Doolittle wasted no time in sharing details of his recent filing with the Ontario courts. He outlined his challenge to the status quo, urging for a more inclusive approach to jurisdictional matters. Doolittle emphasized the need for recognition of Mohawk right to exclusive use and enjoyment and the importance of upholding ancestral obligations in contemporary legal frameworks.

As the discussion deepened, Doolittle raised the topic of Chief Davis's oath of office, questioning whether it encompassed obligations under the Haldimand Proclamation. He explained that his legal challenge asked the court to issue a mandate that would require officeholders, such as Davis, to observe the Haldimand Proclamation as a legal obligation and liability of their office. This, Doolittle argued, would ensure that the historic rights and treaties are respected

Breaking bread with Police Chief Robert A. Davis

and enforced by those in positions of authority.

Doolittle elaborated on the relevance of the lack of a clear mandate, explaining how this ambiguity has shifted the balance of risk entirely onto the Mohawk Nation. Without explicit recognition and enforcement of the Haldimand Proclamation, the Mohawk community faces significant risks of harm and encroachment on their soil. Doolittle emphasized that including the duty to mitigate harms and reduce encroachment on Mohawk land within the oath of office for public officials is crucial for protecting Indigenous rights and upholding historical treaties.

He also clarified the significance of the Loyalist certificate and its

role in establishing a tangible legal connection to treaties such as the Haldimand Proclamation. He explained how individuals, like Chief Davis, who possess such certificates, can demonstrate a higher level of certainty regarding their hereditary rights. By virtue of their Loyalist lineage, individuals are afforded a unique legal standing that allows them to activate the provisions of historic proclamations with greater confidence and legitimacy.

Furthermore, Doolittle highlighted how Chief Davis's personal journey and his acquisition of the Loyalist certificate have positioned him as a rare expert on the matter. Through his lived experiences, Chief Davis has

gained invaluable insights into the complexities of legal heritage and Indigenous rights, elevating his expertise beyond mere academic understanding. Doolittle pointed out a critical gap in coverage. The premature assumption of jurisdiction by the government and courts not only grants innocent third-party status to encroachers but also allows insurance to provide unlawful access with protection. This effectively legitimizes encroachments, offering financial protection to those who unlawfully occupy Mohawk land. Such protections exacerbate land encroachment issues, undermining the Mohawk Nation's sovereignty and increasing the risks faced

by the community.

Doolittle emphasized that officeholders and Canadians alike need to be fully competent and informed about these issues. As this is an ongoing matter, it is crucial that there be no delays in fully observing their obligations under the Haldimand Proclamation. Due process and careful consideration in all meetings and decision-making must recognize Mohawk rights as paramount. Proper recognition and enforcement of these duties are essential to protect the Mohawk Nation’s exclusive rights to their lands and ensure appropriate legal recourse against encroachments.

What was not discussed, but remains of paramount importance, is

the role of police, mayors, and other officeholders as peace officers, a role that transcends provincial boundaries to the federal level. This broader jurisdiction should help push the issue to the appropriate levels of government. However, the current lack of accountability and clarity regarding the duty to observe the Haldimand Proclamation as a legal obligation poses significant challenges. As the chance encounter drew to a close, Doolittle and Davis parted ways. Though brief, their interaction under the Two Row Times sign served as a potent reminder of the power of dialogue—a testament to the enduring quest for justice and the timeless pursuit of truth.

During bread and cheese celebrations, Mohawk advocate Benjamin Doolittle met with Police Chief Robert A. Davis and they discussed Indigenous rights among other things. DOOLITTLE

Indigenous communities speak at global plastics treaty negotiations

ties across Turtle Island at an April press conference.

Spokespeople from Aamjiwnaang First Nations, the Society of First Nations, and Keepers of the Water talked about the disproportionate impacts of plastics pollution on frontline Indigenous communi-

The event was hosted by Ecojustice as part of the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) global plastics treaty talks in Ottawa.

According to the group, plastic pollution is not just an end-of-life litter problem. Every stage of

the plastics lifecycle, from extraction to production, through to disposal, emits greenhouse gases and causes harm to the environment.

Last week, as delegates prepared for the plastics treaty negotiations, Aamjiwnaang First Nation Chief and Council issued an alert to the community warning of high levels

Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study Highway 401 and Waterloo Regional Road 97 (Cedar Creek Road) Underpass Replacement and Interchange Improvements Regional Municipality of Waterloo (GWP 3055-11-00)

THE PROJECT

The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO) has retained Dillon Consulting Limited to conduct a Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for underpass replacement and interchange improvements to Waterloo Regional Road 97 (Cedar Creek Road) and Highway 401, located in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. The purpose of this study is to generate and evaluate options for interchange improvements, interchange configuration, and structure replacement. Opportunities for a new commuter parking lot at the interchange will also be identified.

THE PROCESS

The study is being completed in accordance with the Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities and Municipal Expressways (2024) as a Group “B” undertaking. Group “B” projects are considered approved, subject to compliance with the Class EA. The EA process involves the collection and integration of input from various engineering and scientific studies, as well as public, Indigenous, and agency consultation.

A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared for a 30-day public review period upon completion of the preliminary design phase. The TESR will document the consultation completed as part of the study, describe the evaluation and selection of the Recommended Alternative, provide details on the Preliminary Design of the Recommended Alternative, and outline environmental mitigation measures and provisions that will be incorporated into the design to avoid/offset negative environmental impacts.

the impact of this pollution on Aamjiwnaang, and that inaction has had real consequences on lives. Pollution has put our way of life under serious threat.”

With 40 per cent of the country’s petrochemical refineries located there, dangerously high air pollution levels are not an isolated event for the community, they are regular occurrences. According to the spokespeople, this highlights a systemic issue of environmental racism and the urgency of what is at stake in these negotiations for Aamjiwnaang and other frontline communities.

“Canada has adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It must follow through on its promise at INC-4. It must listen to and centre the voices of Indigenous and frontline communities to secure a legally binding treaty that protects Indigenous rights, human rights, human health, and the environment from the harms of plastic pollution,” said White-Smith.

Solving the plastic pollution crisis will require collective, collaborative action that centers social and ecological justice in all decision-making. Across Turtle Island and around the world, Indigenous communities are leading efforts to pressure governments to urgently regulate plastic production, usage, and disposal.

“Aamjiwnaang First Nation wants to work collaboratively with state governments to create a healthier tomorrow for generations to come. The Anishinabe way of thinking is to consider seven generations ahead, and that is why we are here at INC-4 — to be part of the solution to the plastics problem,” said Aamjiwnaang First Nation Elected Councillor Janelle Nahmabin. “Indigenous Peoples must be active participants in the design and implementation of the plastics treaty. We, like everyone, have the right to a healthy environment and the results of these negotiations should include the duty to prevent exposure to hazardous substances.”
