Sherri-lyn Hill elected new chief at Six Nations DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Sherri-lyn Hill is the third woman in Six Nations’ history to take the title of elected chief after beating out her competitor, Steve Williams, by almost 200 votes.

Sherri-Lyn Hill walked away from Saturday’s general election as the victor, with 606 votes compared to Steve Williams’s 444 votes.

They were the only two contenders for the chief’s title.

Williams was elected chief for one term in the late 1990s and is also the president of tobacco manufacturer Grand River Enterprises.

Previous Chief Mark

The 59th Elected Council is Greg Frazer, Alaina VanEvery, Melba Thomas, Cynthia Jamieson, Carole Greene, Dayle Bomberry, Kerry Bomberry, Dean Hill, Amos Keye, Hazel Johnson, Audrey PowTRT less-Bomberry, Helen Miller and Chief Sherri-lyn Hill-Peirce.

Hill declined to run again citing a desire to pursue other opportunities in his career path.

This council is larger than the last, with 12 people elected to the table, after election code changes this year saw the number of seats grow from nine to 12 people.

The new election code

also limits councillors to two terms.

Cynthia Jamieson, the former executive director at the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, garnered the most votes for the position of councillor, with 576 people voting her in. She ran for the role of elected chief unsuccessfully, twice.

The following councillors were also elected after polls closed at 6 p.m. on Saturday: -Greg Frazer 550 -Melba Thomas 511 -Hazel Johnson 494 -Helen Miller 479 -Audrey Powless-Bomberry 470 -Kerry Bomberry 459 -Alaina VanEvery 451

-Dayle Bomberry 444 -Amos Keye 414 -Dean Hill 369 -Carole Greene 311 Jennifer Murdock, with 308 votes, was the sole contender for councillor who did not get elected.

Chief Hill was sworn in last night at the council chambers on Chiefswood Road.

“Congratulations to the new elected councillors and a heartfelt appreciation to all of you who supported me,” she wrote on her Facebook page.

“Together, we will embark on this journey! Together, let's build further success.

Together, we shall indeed build a brighter future for Six Nations!”

She also thanked those who did not vote for her.

“I want to extend my hand in friendship and

cooperation to those who may not have cast their votes in my favor. I ask you to keep an open mind over this term, for I am committed to being a leader for all.”

She said she will work closely with outgoing Chief Mark Hill to make a smooth transition to her new role.

“I believe that the people of Six Nations have the right to a leader who embodies integrity, honesty, transparency, and accountability with action,” she said. “I will work diligently for further success in our community.

I pledge to be that leader, dedicated to serving our community with the utmost honour and responsibility.”

History made in Quebec tobacco case The Eastern Door

By Eve Cable, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter After a gruelling, more than seven-year legal battle, Derek White and Hunter Montour were granted a permanent stay of criminal procedures this week by a Quebec Superior Court judge, who recognized the role of traditional law, including the Covenant Chain, in the tobacco trade across Turtle Island.

“It’s been long, it took a toll on our whole family, but I always said we’d have our day in court, and today was our day. And we won what we set out to do,” White told The Eastern Door after the victory on Wednesday morning.

Judge Sophie Bourque read aloud her decision before going over a 25-page summary of how she came to her conclusion, asking the packed courtroom to refrain from reacting to the judgement until she was

done reading. She took 18 months to consider the evidence before giving her decision.

She found that the 2001 Excise Act, at the crux of the criminal charges against Montour and White, infringes on treaty rights and inherent rights the applicants have as Indigenous people. She concluded that the act “is of no force and effect against them” and therefore permanently stayed criminal proceedings against the two, meaning neither will face jail time for their 2016 arrests as part of Project Mygale.

She also overturned a previous monumental Supreme Court decision in favour of a more contemporary test to establish Indigenous rights in future legal contexts.

More than seven years Project Mygale is, to date, the largest tobacco-smuggling bust in North America, which saw 60 people, including Montour and White, arrested as part

of a massive international police investigation involving both Canadian and American forces. Police alleged that international crime rings were smuggling tobacco into Canada without paying excise duties, and alleged that White was at the head of one of the crime rings involved.

White, who denied involvement in any organized crime ring, was ultimately found not guilty of defrauding the government of Quebec out of $44 million in unpaid tobacco charges in 2019, but he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud and profiting from organized crime in relation to the excise taxes, with Montour found guilty of aiding organized crime.

White was facing 14 years in prison, with Montour facing five.

The two decided to launch a constitutional challenge, arguing that they are exempt from the Excise Act as Indigenous people and that the tobac-

co trade is protected by various historical treaties, the result of which is this week’s win in court.

“It’s surreal. I still had goosebumps this morning thinking about it,” said White’s lawyer, Vincent Carney, the day after the ruling.

The Covenant Chain Carney and the rest of the applicants’ legal team argued that 10 treaties negotiated between 1664 and 1760 guarantee Kanien’kehá:ka a right to the tobacco trade. They argued that these treaties, forming the overarching Covenant Chain, are protected under Section 25 of the Constitution Act. The Attorney General of Quebec and Attorney General of Canada, however, said they were strongly opposed to the argument that the Covenant Chain is a treaty, arguing instead it is a symbol or metaphor for political and military alliance in the 17th and 18th centuries. But the Court ruled that the Chain

is “an unextinct treaty that creates mutually binding obligations,” ultimately siding with White and Montour and against the Attorneys General.

“She’s recognized that the treaties don’t just protect a modest economic activity or a subsistence right to hunt or fish. She’s recognized a really vast commercial right that is constitutionally protected as a result of treaties and Aboriginal rights,” said Carney. “That’s what makes its implications so significant.”

The judge also made clear that the Covenant Chain is a living, breathing treaty, contemporarily applicable regardless of how old it is.

“The evidence shows that the Covenant Chain is an agreement designed to last for perpetuity…Not only is there no evidence that the Haudenosaunee consented to the extinguishment of the Covenant Chain, but the evidence points to the contrary,”

justice Bourque said.

She also noted that Indigenous people have a generic right to “freely pursue economic development by their own chosen means” – in this case, via the tobacco trade. She said that this right is “intimately tied to the survival and dignity of any nation” and that the court concludes that “the right to pursue economic development is indeed protected under the traditional legal system of the Mohawks of Kahnawake.”

Overturning a Supreme Court decision Justice Bourque also overturned a Supreme Court decision, that of Van der Peet and Pamajewon.

That case, from 1996, had originally dictated a test for establishing Indigenous rights known as the Van der Peet test.

However, Montour and White asked the Court to depart from that test and offer a new framework aimed at protecting

History made in tobacco case contemporary Indigenous practices.

The Judge found that the Van der Peet test, which contains 10 criteria that must be met in order for a practice to be deemed a constitutionally-protected Indigenous right, is outdated, as Indigenous cultural practices within that framework are situated solely in the past.

She found that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) recontextualizes the test, and thus constructed a new test with three steps, identifying the collective rights an individual is invoking and identifying how that right is protected by traditional legal systems.

“To articulate a new test for Aboriginal rights on top of recognizing treaty rights and the treaty relationship of the Covenant Chain, it’s a home run basically,” said Carney.

Reactions The atmosphere outside the courtroom on Wednesday was triumphant, as White and Montour

exited the courtroom to whoops and cheers from community members who had travelled from Kahnawake to the city to hear the judgement. So many people were in attendance that the court had to set up an overflow room, where proceedings were livestreamed, since there were no seats left inside the courtroom.

“It feels good. Whether the judgement was going to go the opposite way, or this way, it was really good to see that I have family, friends from all over that came up to support me,” Montour said. “I set the tone for the next arrest, we paved the road for everyone.”

Gerald Taiaiake Alfred, who was involved in the

trial as an expert witness providing testimony about the historical nature of Haudenosaunee trade networks, said he was struck by the judgement.

“This is a huge victory.

It shows that after careful consideration, after a long trial, with all the information and almost two years of thinking about this, that a Canadian judge validates

ER DINN

our perspective and our knowledge,” he said.

“I felt a little bit of disbelief, but the most pronounced feeling I had was that of validation.”

Alfred underscored the massive risk that Montour and White took by committing to their fight for more than seven years.

“This is how nations are built, and this is how nations survive, is by taking risks…The real test is to put yourself out there on issues like this. Our ancestors used to go into battle and risk their lives to defend their nation. This isn’t that scenario, but it’s almost as serious. You’re risking your freedom, you’re risking jail for this,” he said.

“If you want to develop, if you want to make change, you have to risk something. They risked their freedom, their money…there’s huge implications.”

Carney added that he has already spoken to a lawyer who said he will be pleading this case in a few of his own proceedings,

highlighting how this case will be used as an example in other tobacco trials going forward. He applauded the work of justice Bourque in reaching her decision.

“We were just so impressed with justice Bourque’s involvement throughout the trial. She was a very participatory judge who was respectful of all witnesses, and that level of engagement I thought was quite affirming,” he said. “I think the decision we have obtained reflects an engaged justice system, and I think everyone is better for it, ultimately.”

In the coming months and years, White hopes to enjoy a return to the world of NASCAR racing, as well as to travel across the US border, something that he hasn’t been allowed to do since his arrest in 2016.

“We have justice,” said White. “The judge finally realized that we are people. And we ain’t going anywhere.”

Mental health cited as role in armed stand-off with police DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Political leaders and police cited mental health as a factor in an armed stand-off between a Six Nations man and police on a property on Chiefswood Road last Tuesday.

Beginning late on Halloween evening, around 11:30 p.m., the OPP and numerous area detachments and aerial units were called to assist the Six Nations Police after their officers came under fire from a man on a property on Chiefswood Road between Fifth Line and Sixth The man, who is in his early forties, continued to shoot at officers throughout the night and Chiefswood Road was closed down and local residents were ordered to shelter in place.

The man was finally apprehended and taken into custody around 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 1.

He was wounded by gunfire, according to police reports, and taken to hospital after being taken into custody.

Because a civilian was

hurt during the stand-off, the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been called in to investigate the incident.

“Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated and professional efforts of both the SNPS, OPP and the SIU for their swift and effective response, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community,” elected council said in a press release. “Their collaboration and expertise played a pivotal role in resolving this incident peacefully.”

Outgoing Chief Mark Hill noted that mental health played a role but did not elaborate.

“First and foremost nia:wen to all of the officers with the Six Nations Police, the OPP and SIU for their quick action. The incident that occurred is a reminder of the challenges individuals may face in dealing with mental health issues. We encourage all community members to support one another, offering empathy, understanding, and resources for those who may be in need. It is crucial that we break the stigma

surrounding mental health and create an environment where individuals feel safe seeking help when they require it.”

Chief Hill said it was important to openly communicate with one another and to build a supportive community where individuals can reach out to one another.

“If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, please don't hesitate to seek assistance from our dedicated community organizations and professionals,” he said.

“Your well-being matters, and together, we can create a stronger and more resilient community.”

“In the aftermath of this incident, SNGR stands united with our community, demonstrating the strength that comes from compassion,” elected council said in a press release. “We are committed to providing the necessary support to all affected individuals, and together we will foster a community that values the health and well-being of each of its members.”

No officers were injured during the stand-off.

OPINION

The 59th Six Nations Elected Council was sworn-in on Tuesday night at the start of their first General Council meeting, and it was a full house of support. The newly-renovated council chambers were bursting at the seams with family and friends, local politicians and news reporters eager to watch the new elected chief and council step into their first day on the job. And they have a lot ahead of them this term.

The first notable item is the 100 year marking of the federal government imposing the elected system in 1924 and deposing hereditary chiefs as the community’s leaders.

With the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council aiming to do worldwide awareness about their take on the events that happened just before and during the 1924 removal of hereditary leadership as the community’s political body — who knows what this elected council will be facing?

The new councillors are stepping into testy waters for sure. HCCCs failed

bid to have the Haudenosaunee Development Institute intervene in the massive Six Nations land claim case has already seen a provincial judge order HDI to pay $299,000 in costs over to the band council and another $12,500 in costs over to the Men’s Fire. A source told 2RT those payments were made expeditiously and without challenge — perhaps to prevent any further investigation into where HDI gets their money from, and who is in control of it.

Another giant in the land the new council is facing is the return of tobacco excise taxes to the Six Nations community, something the 58th Council made some movement toward but did not resolve before their work was done.

With the recent court ruling in Quebec showing that the Excise Act was violating the constitutionally protected and inherent rights of Kahnawake people to economic self-determination — suddenly Six Nations and other communities in the tobacco industry clawing

TWO ROW TIMES

back excise taxes paid to the federal government in protest for the last 40 years seems probable.

Elected Chief Sherri-lyn Hill-Pierce put her focus toward the housing crisis on Six Nations during her campaign. Just this week the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation announced they were going ahead with a Tiny Homes project that would see locally constructed 1 and 3-bedroom homes built on the territory for residents to acquire. Another potential economic step-up for the entire Six Nations community that would handle not only housing — but would employ a team of local contractors and tradespeople in the process.

One of the final moves the 58th council did was to approve the delivery of a trespassing notice giving squatters on the Glebe Lands 14 days to leave the property. The area is part of the lands that will be searched for unmarked graves associated with the Mohawk Institute, a former Indian Residential School and the squatters, most of whom

are not Six Nations band members, have been put on notice by SNGREC and Six Nations Police that they must leave. Addressing the needs of the band members that were living on the Glebe with Six Nations community service providers and connecting non-Indigenous squatters with their municipal counterparts was identified as a next step. Something Councillor Greg Fraser told 2RT he was making a priority to follow through if he were re-elected. Will there be follow-through and will the rest of the council support Fraser and Hill-Pierce in this as part of a greater housing and homelessness initiative?

This council has a broad range of lived life experiences for those that have been elected. Councillor Amos Keye is noted for his life-long contribution to Haudenosaunee language and cultural preservation.

Councillor Alaina VanEvery sat on the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation’s Economic Development Trust as a trustee, which later transitioned to a role

on the Board of Directors. VanEvery has been working in the financial industry for over a decade.

Former Six Nations SAO Dayle Bomberry has found a seat on the elected council and brings a vast corporate history with him to the council chambers. In contrast, Elected Councillor Dean Hill, who started out with Six Nations Youth Council and is now the youngest member on the council this term could bring in the capacity to look at the past and objectively consider what is expected for today and the future leaders of tomorrow.

Councillor Cynthia Jamieson has a lifetime of experience working in elected council administrations for both Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Having that kind of experience and having a seat at the table is already a victory for Six Nations needs as she will bring a lot of context along with her when it comes to decision making time.

Councillor Audrey Powless-Bomberry who is a lifelong educator and has taught almost everyone and their children and grandchildren on

the Territory through Six Nations schools continues to contribute her gifts at the table.

Councillor Helen Miller, who has held her seat at council for the longest and brings context and history to all councils deliberations is sure to give assistance where it is needed and fill in any gaps.

These are just a few of the names at the table this time around. With so many people bringing so much to offer this time around the question is can they do it? Can this council gel together and unify as they focus on what needs to get done and become a council of action, change and forward motion for the Six Nations community — or will they get lost in the weeds of forming and storming their way through a similar kind of interpersonal conflict that was so rampant with the former council?

There is so much to be done. Let’s hope that under the guidance of acting CEO Nathan Wright, who brings a lot of experience in political leadership along with him as well, that this council can find their way through to success.

NWT veteran heads to Ottawa for Indigenous Veterans Day

By Tom Taylor, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Floyd Powder has a lot on the agenda for the week of Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day. The current sergeantat-arms of the NWT Legislative Assembly and 32-year veteran with the Royal Canadian Regiment and Canadian Airborne Regiment will be spending the week in Ottawa.

He will be joined in the capital by his son who,

while undecided on his future, has already followed in his father’s footsteps by enrolling in the cadets and completing his basic parachutist course.

“We’ll be touching base with all the veterans I served with when I was in Petawawa (Ont.), and several people in Ottawa,” the Fort Smith-born Powder said from Yellowknife, where he now lives. “It will be good to catch up.”

The pair’s visit to Ottawa is not just about reconnecting with old friends.

Outside of his work as sergeant-at-arms, Powder is a volunteer researcher with Last Post Fund, an organization that aims to provide dignified funerals, burials and military gravestones for veterans who could not afford those things at the time of their death.

Much of Powder’s volunteer efforts concern a Last Post Fund project called the Indigenous Veterans Initiative, which seeks to locate unmarked graves of Indigenous veter-

ans and replace them with grave markers that can include traditional names and Indigenous symbols, such as bears and feathers, in place of a Latin crosses or regimental crests.

Powder has spent the last three years visiting gravesites across the NWT, compiling a list of military graves, marked and unmarked. He will spend the first two days of his visit to Ottawa – Nov. 6 and 7 – at Library and Archives Canada, running his list against theirs. This will allow him

to verify military service, and find information about deceased veterans, including their services numbers and the units they served with.

“If the family or anybody else wants to do some research in the future they’ll have a good head start with the service number,” he said.

Indigenous Veterans Day is Nov. 8. Powder and his son will begin the day by attending a ceremony at the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument,

which will include smudging and wreath-laying.

Powder will not have a direct role in the proceedings. He instead intends to “let others step forward” and “provide guidance and direction to help make sure we honour our Indigenous veterans properly.”

Once the ceremony has concluded, he and his son will head to the National Arts Centre for the debut screening of a film called Finding Unmarked Graves.

The roles of the three branches Remembrance Day is celebrated in Canada every year on November 11, making the month of November an ideal time to learn about each of the three branches of the country’s armed forces.

The Royal Canadian Navy: The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is tasked with protecting Canadian sovereignty at sea, at home and abroad.

The Canadian Army: The Canadian Army is the land component of the

Canadian Armed Forces.

The Government of Canada notes that the Army Reserve is a parttime component of the Canadian Army that deploys members both at home and abroad. With roughly 21,500 members, Reservists make up nearly as large a force as the Regular Force (22,500 members), and an additional 3,500 civilian employees serve in support of the Army.

Soldiers to carry on family legacies Indigenous Peoples have been part of Canada's military history dating back to the War of 1812, when it's estimated more than 10,000 First Nations people fought. More than 7,000 Indigenous people later served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Many continue to serve today.

Wednesday is National Aboriginal Veterans Day, which was first observed in Winnipeg in 1994.

The Canadian Press spoke with three Indigenous soldiers about why they enlisted: Wendy Jocko, 63, from Pikwakanagan First Nation in Ontario Jocko hails from generations of Canadian soldiers. The first was Constant Pinesi, an influential grand chief of the Algonquins, who fought with the British during the War of 1812. ``It has been said that if it wasn't for Indigenous warriors, Canada might not be Canada, because they were quite skilful in their tactics,'' says Jocko.

Four of her uncles

served in the First World War, but only two came home. Her father and his six brothers fought in the Second World War. Jocko calls herself a ``war baby.'' While in Europe, her father met her mother, a Scottish soldier.

She says she wanted to join the military since she was four and did so when she was 19.

Being a woman at the time wasn't advantageous, she says. ``There was a bit of prejudice happening there.'' ``The hardship I experienced as a child put me in a good place for life in the field, in the military.''

She was a supply technician for 23 years and served in NATO peacekeeping missions in Bosnia in 1993 and 1998. The devastation and human misery were sad to witness, she says.

Jocko rose to sergeant and retired in 2002. In 2020, she became chief of Pikwakanagan.

She encouraged her son, James McMullin, to join the military as well.

He later left the military

and died last month at the age of 38.

Jocko says she has chosen to have him laid to rest on National Aboriginal Veterans Day at Pikwanagan.

Isaacs says his maternal grandfather served as an engineer during the Second World War. He didn't speak much about the war but had a room at home full of guns. ``From five-years old, when we would visit my grandparents, we would go outside. Me and my two brothers would be given a box of ammunition and direction on what to do.''

Isaacs paternal grandfather was an armoured officer in the Second World War and also didn't talk about his time in battle. ``As I grew up, I realized that many of the people I was surrounded by were either veterans of the Second World War or veterans of Korea.''

Issacs says he saw the financial stability military officers had, which drew him into the military.

Powerful ceremony in the Netherlands honours Indigenous soldiers

By Mina Kerr-Lazenby, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter In the lead up to Remembrance Day on Saturday, Nov. 11, much of the country will be taking moments to pause and remember the work of the armed forces members who died in the line of duty. Among them were sacrifices made

by First Nations, Métis and Inuit soldiers.

Sacrifices, says Sḵwxw ̱ ú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) elected council member Sxwíxwtn (Wilson Williams), we would do well to remember.

Last month, Williams returned from a trip to the Netherlands where he had been representing the Squamish Nation as part of Veteran Affairs Canada’s Indigenous Legacy Project.

The initiative identifies and marks the graves of Indigenous soldiers who fought for the liberation of the Netherlands – one of Canada’s major contributions during the Second World War. “It’s a research- and

remembrance-based initiative, to recognize, honour and educate on the Indigenous soldiers who sacrificed their lives,” said Williams, adding how, of all the “million-plus Canadians” who served in the Second World War, 3,000 of those were identified as Indigenous soldiers.

Williams visited four cemeteries, one being the Holten Canadian War Cemetery where 17 Indigenous graves have so far been identified. Among those 17 lay Pte. Daniel Cheer, a Squamish Nation member and Williams’ distant relative.

“I think the project has done this in a good way, reconnecting soldiers with their families. Now we know Daniel Cheer was one of 30 Squamish Nation members who volunteered to serve overseas in the war, we know all his stories and all about who he was,” said Williams.

A commemoration ceremony began at daybreak.

A “sacred circle” where he and family members of the other Indigenous soldiers introduced themselves

and shared the history of the serviceman they were connected to. It was a moving moment for all involved, he said, one made especially so when time came for him to share his own words.

“I was one of the last two to speak and, by this time, it was brisk with only a slight drizzle. Just after I introduced myself the rain picked up like a storm,” he said.

“Through our culture and teachings, when the weather changes dramatically or drastically, it’s telling us something.

Mother Nature, the creator, was telling us that we were meant to be there.

We were meant to be there to support each other, but not only that, visit our loved ones.”

Prior to the creation of the Indigenous Legacy Project, no one had been to visit Cheers since he perished in action in 1945, said Williams. It was a similar story for many of the Indigenous soldiers buried there.

As the family members laid down their offerings

of flowers and tobacco upon the graves, Williams, wearing his Nation’s regalia and with drum in hand, took a quiet moment at Cheers’ final resting place.

“I spent quite some time with our loved one there. I laid our Squamish Nation flag down over his grave site, and laid the offerings. I shared a song with him, and spoke prayer in our language. I spoke of connectivity, and being reunited, and said how his family in our community are thinking of him.”

Williams said there is still “a long road to go” in terms of ensuring Indigenous soldiers are given the same recognition and respect as their comrades, but projects like Canada’s Indigenous Legacy Project are vital to bridging that gap.

Education could be improved, he said, by having curriculum in schools include more engagement with Indigenous communities. He envisions a future where students can take part in an exchange program and spend a week or two in a country

more connected with the Second World War. “War was never in our backyard. You go to Europe, and war is everywhere. Here we undermine the value and the commitment and the heart and the soul that went into going overseas,” he said.

“We need to do more.

We need to travel. We need to see what resources are out there from Veteran Affairs Canada, and bring these stories alive.”

We should also, points out Williams, be giving just as much consideration to the wounded, injured and sick servicemen who made it home.

Following his time in the Netherlands in September, the Squamish Nation councillor visited Germany’s Dusseldorf for the closing ceremony of this year’s Invictus Games.

Representing the Four Host First Nations, he gifted a ceremonial paddle to Team Germany and received the flag alongside Team Canada, taking the torch, as it were, and setting things in motion for the 12-day Invictus

Games set to take place in Vancouver and Whistler in 2025.

During an event at the Canada House a few days later, a visiting Prince Harry, founder of the games, asked Williams to make a speech. He would be the best person, the monarch explained, to touch on the importance of remembering those who had lost their lives in the line of duty.

“I was quite overwhelmed, because I really wanted to do it right and in a good way, and really empower the heart of why we were all there,” said Williams.

“I wanted to talk about how symbolic and uniting it is, those Games. But not only that, how much healing can be found in recognizing the soldiers that made it back, and recognizing the soldiers who didn’t.”

Everybody is affected by war in one way or another, said Williams, and so all can be a voice and an ambassador, a witness to pay respects and “hold everybody up.”

Campaign to support veterans

By Dave Baxter, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

On Wednesday, Canadians will take time to remember and to honour First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who served their country in the military, and in times of war.

A Manitoba First Nations organization says they are now embarking on a campaign to support local veterans, and to bring more attention to the contributions and sacrifices Indigenous veterans have made for this country.

“Since the early days of colonization, members of our Nations have played an enormous role in Canada’s military history, including service during wars and other global conflicts,” Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) Grand Chief Jerry Daniels said in a media release.

November 8 is recognized nationwide in Canada as National Indigenous Veterans Day, a day to recognize contributions to military service

by First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, and to pay respects to Indigenous soldiers who fought in combat including the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, and who lost their lives in battle.

To commemorate Indigenous Veterans Day, a ceremony will be held in Winnipeg at the Neeginan Centre on Higgins Avenue at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, and there are also ceremonies scheduled in First Nations communities including the Long Plain First Nation, and the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation.

It is estimated that more than 8,000 Indigenous people served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, and some estimates indicate that as many as 12,000 Indigenous people have served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

It is also estimated that more than 500 Indigenous soldiers died and many more were wounded or taken prisoner in the First and Second World Wars.

But despite their service,

many Indigenous veterans who returned home after both the First and Second World Wars were often not afforded the same benefits and opportunities that non-Indigenous veterans received once they were discharged, including many not even being able to vote in federal elections after serving.

Daniels said SCO believes more should be done to support First Nations veterans, and recently announced the launch of the First Nations Veterans Program, a program that will offer a range of services including assistance with Veterans Affairs claims, as well as traditional healing supports, and assistance with connecting First Nations veterans with fellow veterans.

SCO has now also launched a public awareness campaign they say will honour the service of First Nations veterans throughout the month of November by profiling veterans on electronic billboards in several southern Manitoba communities.

Taking care of your teeth is about more than a nice smile Dental health is a key part of overall health and well-being and whatever your age, practising good dental hygiene and following healthy lifestyle habits is more important than ever during the pandemic.

Did you know there’s a link between dental health and diabetes?

People with diabetes are at greater risk for dental problems like gum disease and infections that can make it harder to control diabetes.

The good news is that treating either gum disease or diabetes can lead to improvements in the other!

To help keep your mouth in good shape: •

Brush and floss your teeth daily.

•

Eat a balanced diet, rich in vitamins and low in processed sugar.

•

Avoid or cut back on mouth-damaging habits like drinking pop or alcohol and smoking cigarettes, marijuana and vaping.

•

Regular exercise and meditation can help reduce the impact of stress on your mouth and immune system.

'Boil Alert' doc examines water crisis in North America STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — When documentarian James Burns and Apache guitarist Stevie Salas set out to create a film that examined the ongoing impacts of the water crisis in Indigenous communities, the two knew they wanted the final piece to be an exploration of identity and how it's tied to Earth's most abundant natural resource.

The result is an ambitious 104-minute documentary that blends unscripted real-life moments with scripted vignettes to go beyond the template of using statistics and experts to put the spotlight on an issue that transcends geographical boundaries. ``Boil Alert'' follows Mohawk activist Layla Staats as she visits communities in Canada and the United States living under boil water advisories and First Nations who have had their water contaminated by toxins. Throughout the film, Staats shares her

own personal battles as a person reconnecting with her Mohawk identity. ``It was important that we told a story that wasn't just about the water, but it was about somebody who was on a parallel journey to finding themselves,'' Burns said in an interview. ``I think that creates more empathy.''

Burns and Salas previously worked on the 2020 documentary ``Water Walker,'' which followed Anishinaabe water activist

Autumn Peltier as she advocated for clean drinking water at the United Nations.

For their latest project, Salas relied on the connections he's made through the music business and his Six Nations of the Grand River- based production company, Seeing Red 6 Nations, to find the perfect person to bring their vision to life.

Salas was introduced to Staats about three years ago through her brother,

musician Logan Staats who also makes an appearance in the film.

Staats had produced her own mini-documentary on water accessibility and expressed interest in being the face of the directors' larger-scale project.

But, it would take some coaxing from Burns and Salas for Staats to let her guard down and invite viewers into her own journey. ``She really had to sit and bare her soul. She really had to let it all out there in front of everybody,'' said Salas. ``It was the only way it was going to be effective as a story for others to be motivated and inspired.''

Filming started in 2021 with the crew visiting the remote Oji-Cree community of Neskantaga First Nation in northwestern Ontario, which has been under a boil water advisory for 28 years — the longest in the country.

They travelled to Grassy Narrows First Nation, an Ojibwe community also in northwestern Ontario.

The First Nation has spent

decades fighting governments to answer for the damage done after a paper mill dumped tonnes of toxic mercury in a nearby river in the 1960s. Residents have grappled with long-standing mental and physical health issues from mercury poisoning.

Across the border, Staats spoke with members of the Navajo Nation who are still living with the impacts of the 1979 Church Rock Nuclear Disaster in New Mexico — dubbed the largest radioactive accident in U.S. history.

Much has been written and documented about these communities, but Burns said it was important to focus on the ``most egregious'' examples of water insecurity. ``It begs the questions, 'why has nothing still been done?''' he said. ``We got to continue shedding light and giving people from those communities a voice to talk about what's happening there.''

At the heart of the documentary are stories from residents living with neurological disorders

because of mercury poisoning or youth who have never had access to clean drinking water in their lifetime and the impact it has on their mental health.

Burns wanted to add another dimension to the emotions Staats grappled with while learning about the inequalities First Nations have since colonization.

Sprinkled throughout the film are scripted, dreamy vignettes that parallel Staats' journey and feature four well-known Indigenous women who are at different stages in their lives — Peltier, actress Jessica Matten, choreographer Santee Smith and actress Michelle Thrush.

Burns sees the final product as a peek into the grim future larger cities and communities face if governments do not act to protect water sources. ``Hopefully, not only does it raise awareness about what's happening in Indigenous communities, but what's happening on a wider scale with water insecurity.''

Corvairs add two wins to make 7 game win-streak STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

CALEDONIA — Last week, the Corvairs reached a 5 game win-streak after defeating the St. Catharines Falcons twice, one with a decided forfeit.

This weekend, they continued to garner victories, attracting a crowd to the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre (HCCC) and securing a win away from home at the Welland Main Arena.

First, on Saturday, November 4, the Corvairs opened their doors to blast the visiting Pelham Panthers at the HCCC. The first period saw the Corvairs break scoring with a goal within the last few minutes of play

by Sami Douglas, fed

by Owen Rainey from Zack Lewis. With just 13 seconds left, Sami Douglas went for his second goal

of the game fed by Steve LaForme to close the period 2-0.

For the first intermission, the Caledonia Thunder U9 Team 2 and Team 3 showcased a mini game.

The mini game ended in a 1- 1 tie. After the game the Thunder players also had an op-portunity to meet the Corvairs.

In the second period, the Corvairs came out strong again with a goal

by Steve LaForme, with a pass from Sami Douglas from Jaden Lammel one minute into play. This would serve a the last goal for both sides in the period, as the Corvairs focused on defence with a comfortable 3-0 lead. But in the third, the Panthers began to get left far behind as Will Bray earned an unassisted goal. This bury would be followed six minutes later, when Evan Bradacs transferred a pass from Six Nations Damon Decaire, from

Jayden Lammel, into the net.

The Panthers didn’t respond, and Will Bray earned his second goal from Dylan Wardell.

Then Jayden Lammel and Nathan Duplessis came through with single goals to close out an impres-sive game. This finished off the Corvairs sixth straight win, 8-0.

On Sunday, November 5, the Corvairs reloaded for another match set against the Welland Jr. Canadians at the Welland Main Arena.

The first period served as a warm up for both sides as no scoring was earned. But 11 minutes into the second period, the Jr. Canadians put one away, while Noah Beltzer opened scoring for the Corvairs fed by Tyler Wells.

This set the tone for the third period, as the Jr. Canadians worked to earn another goal five minutes

in. The Canadians would hold the lead for a full 10 minutes of gameplay, but Dylan Wardell came through with an unassisted goal for the Corvairs, tying the game. This set off a chain reaction for Markus Dempewolf, who scored from Jayden Lammel. Dylan Wardell then came through to settle the score with another unassisted goal with just one minute and 30 second left. This finalized the Corvairs seventh straight win, 4-2.

The Corvairs will play another game at home on Saturday, November 11, at 7:30 p.m., EST, to face the Listowel Cyclones for the first time this season.

They will travel to the Chatham Memo-rial Arena on Sunday, November 12, at 7:00 p.m., EST, to face the Chatham Maroons for the first time as well.

MISSISSAUGA — On October 30, for the third time in their franchise history, the Hamilton Ben-gals became the Ontario Senior Men’s Field Lacrosse League (OSMFLL) "A" Division Champi-ons with a team that hosts several athletes with Six Nations roots.

The Bengals were on a mission to prove that last season was no fluke.

Although they faced some adversity throughout the season, including tying two games and losing one to Six Nations. The Bengals finished the regular season off with a win and never looked back. They went on an impressive 5-0 run en route to capturing their second A division title in a row.

Making it to the first semi-final at the Iceland Fields in Mississauga, the Hamilton Bengals took on

the Orangeville Generals on October 28 in the A Division, and came out with a 10-6 win. At the other end, their opponent would be decided after a 11-5 for the London Mollys over the Milton Chaos.

On the same day, the Six Nations Stallions took on the Burlington Lakers in the B Division, com-ing away with a 9-13 win.

Their opponents would determine the Toronto Blue Jays as their next face off, who won their match 9-7 over the United LC. In the Championship game on Saturday, London led for most of the first half. Hamilton took the lead late in the 2nd quarter and was able to hold off a late London push thanks to the goaltending of rookie Connor Scott, Defensive MVP Vern Hill, and the rest of the stingy Hamilton defence.

In the A championship, the Bengals secured a well-decided victory 13-9.

Paul (Bone) Longboat September 6, 1985 - November 4, 2023 Age: 38 Bone was always there with a smile to greet his family and friends. He will be missed greatly by all those that loved him.

Bone got called home unexpectedly on November 4th at St. Joe’s in Hamilton. Sadly, he leaves behind his only child Dylaney Longboat and grandson Tobias (Toby). Proud son of Laurie Longboat and the late Darrel Henry. Dear brother to Dustin, Brandy (Ryan) and Darrel. Loving uncle to his sweet niece Amirah. Special friend to Tim and Teddy Jameson. Bone will be missed by his gram, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends as well as his racing family.

If you know Bone, you know some of his favorite hobbies included: anything with a motor and some dirt, whether he was building a new car, dirt track racing, quading, competing in a demolition derby or simply helping someone else out. When he wasn’t playing in the mud, dirt n grease you could find him relaxing with his dogs Spike and Sasha or casting a line off the riverbanks most likely with his brother. Bone took every opportunity to teach his son everything he thought Dman should need to know in life.

This guy loved his family and those that were within his circle with his whole heart and would do anything in his power for them.

The family will honour his life with visitation at Styres Funeral Home, 1798 4th Line Rd., Ohsweken from 5-8 p.m. on Wednesday where funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 11 am. Burial to follow at Christ Anglican Church Cemetery. www. rhbanderson.com

Jason Keith Alexander Smith March 28, 1976 – November 7, 2003 As the weight of passed grief looms in my core, Memories of you, I struggle to source.

To honor your life and to rest that grief, To celebrate You and what you meant to me.

Twenty years ago, that day, As you slept, Creator whispered to you.

“It’s time for you to come Home to stay.”

Only Creator knew what we could not.

Creator forgave our selfish thoughts, our anger, our fraught, Our oceans of tears, our fears and our shock.

He knew we would honor and celebrate you and all the time that we got to know you, to love you, And to recognize what you meant to each our hearts; To see in our own lives how special a part You held deep within, that day you did depart.

My love for you is Forever and Always, My Son.
