Corn soup showdown in Brantford

By Jayson Koblun BRANTFORD – The winner of this year’s Corn Soup Cook-Off said “a good chef never reveals his secret,” at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford last Saturday when asked how he infused the perfect amount of smokiness into his award-winning soup.

Winner, Phillip Johnson said, “I’ve been making the soup for several years now and a lot of people tell me it’s one of the best corn soups they’ve ever tasted, but like I said — a good chef never tells his secrets.”

Johnson took home first prize, making his traditional corn soup a two-time winner of the

event. Bev Bomberry won second place and Lester Green was awarded third.

“The men really cleaned up,” said one of the centre’s staff members.

The cook-off, held at the cultural centre in partnership with Hamilton’s De dwa da dehs nye s Aboriginal Health Centre, boasted 10 soups cooked by 10 different chefs.

Some soups were saltier than others, some soups carried a darker shade of red than the one before it and some were filled with pulled pork opposed to the more recognizable cubed pork — but it’s safe to say that no guests left hungry as they made their way around the room sampling each en-

try.

The public was in charge of picking this year’s winners.

“It cost $5 to get in and everyone gets to pick a mug and taste all of the soups,” said Jessica Powless, outreach co-ordinator at Woodland Cultural Centre. “It might take a few samples of each to narrow down the choices, but once you know your favourites, vote for your top three choices.”

It was almost impossible to sway votes by voting for your friend or family member’s soup because even the contestants themselves didn’t know which number was attached to their soup.

“I’m positive I know what soup is mine,” said

Edna Hill, one of the contestants. “At first I wasn’t so sure because a few of them tasted similar to mine — but after I tried them all a few more times I figured it out for sure.”

Hill said that it was a lot of fun, yet stressful, not knowing exactly who’s soup belonged to who.

“I guess it’s possible all us contestants could end up voting for someone else’s soup,” Hill said with a smile.

The public could purchase a scone for $2 to pair with the soup, and by paying the $5 entry fee, guests were entered into door prizes that were drawn halfway through the night.

“I told Phillip when we

started dating years ago that he makes the best corn soup I’ve ever had,” said Johnson’s girlfriend.

“I really pushed him to enter the contest and, hey — it paid off.”

Three more years: Ava Hill re-elected

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Incumbent Elected Chief Ava Hill easily retained her seat Saturday warding off former Chief William Montour and newcomer Cynthia Jamieson by wide margins. Hill garnered 51 per cent of the 1,931 ballots cast, 700 of which were cast for Trustee positions. It was the highest voter turnout in Six Nations voting history.

Hill won the race by a furlong with 623 vote compared to Montour’s 303 and Jamieson’s 286 votes.

There was also not much change with district Councillors. In District 1 Dave Hill stays on for another term with 82 votes but his district-mate, Lewis Staats, was replaced by Audrey Powless-Bomberry with 89 votes.

There was a lot of interest not only at the poles but for the final electronic tallies at Six Nations Polytechnic as the chairs originally set up for the public were quickly filled as more and more were added. Finally, a section of seating that was roped off, probably for the candidates, was opened and more people found a seat. Even then, there were dozens of people left standing.

Cheers and hugs followed Six Nations Elections Officer, Steve Williams’ announcements of district councillor winners and the re-election of Ava Hill a second term as Six Nations Elected Council Chief.

She was asked by the Two Row Times if she felt somewhat vindicated this election after getting into

office three years ago on the strength of two votes over former Chief, Bill Montour. This year, she defeated Montour by a margin of 320 votes.

She attributes the high water mark for elections to the younger vote.

“I think it’s the young people voting,” said Hill.

“We saw them all day long here and it was encouraging.”

Hill was thrilled with the overwhelming vote of confidence that she is going in the right direction.

“I feel I have a mandate with 51 per cent of the vote, and that’s pretty good,” she laughed. “It was certainly more than two votes like the last time.”

It will be business as usual for the 57th Six Nations Elected Council with a number of partially completed projects she wants to see through and a very familiar council to work with. But she can’t help but feel empowered knowing the majority of the voting people did not want to see a change.

“I will continue to work tirelessly on infrastructure, education, land rights,” she promises. “I want to see resolutions over the next three years.”

“My congratulations also to the incoming councillors from each of the districts,” Liberal MPP and Speaker of the House, Dave Levac said.

“One must also thank the unsuccessful candidates for letting their names stand for election. Never doubt the desire to serve as a way of expressing their desire to make the community better for all.”

Skyler Martin-King won the mini 8 camera.

TJ Henhawk won a Nintendo 3DS XL.

There was a little drama in this year's results for who would represent District 6. Melba Thomas won her seat back with 96 votes, but the second councillor position was a tie with incumbent Mark Hill and challenger Lynn Travis Bomberry with 75 votes each. Elections Officer Steve Montour broke the tie by drawing a name out of a hat, with Hill winning his seat back. Photo by Jim Windle. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Second trial sees man released, in death of Tashina General

By Nahnda Garlow BRANTFORD —The Six Nations man convicted in the 2008 death of Tashina General and her unborn baby, known as Tucker, walked away a free man from a Brantford courtroom Monday.

Kent Owen Hill was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of 21-year-old General in 2011, but the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for SquireHill after quashing his conviction last year.

Squire-Hill’s appeal against his conviction was based on the fact that the trial judge had erred at the time in instructing the jury on the definition of intent and the defence of provocation. He also argued that the Crown attorney’s had improperly cross-examined him on his statement to police.

The Ontario Court of Appeals ruled that there was no merit in

Kent Owen Hill (left) has been released after serving 8 years. Hill was charged in the murder of Tashina General (right) in 2011 who was also pregnant with Hill's son. the cross-examination argument, however they did find merit in his other points of appeal and awarded the new trial.

A judge said Hill served over eight years in custody - totalling the equivalent of 15 years in jail — 1.5 days granted for every pre-trial day of incarceration since his original arrest in 2008.

In the first trial Hill was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of

parole for 15 years.

This time, Hill was sentenced to time served.

Tashina was reported missing to police in January 2008 - prompting a massive search across Ontario. Her remains were discovered four months later in a shallow grave behind Hill’s parents home on Six Nations.

Hill confessed to strangling Tashina and

covering up her death.

Court proceedings revealed Hill was in a physical relationship with Tashina during which she became pregnant.

The child was revealed through genetic testing to be Hill’s son.

Courts heard Hill wrote a letter to General’s mother, pretending to be Tashina, and saying she was leaving town.

Hill was arrested in April 2008 in a North Bay hotel room and has been in prison since that time.

General’s family and loved ones gave emotional victim impact statements to Hill at Monday’s sentencing.

Her family continue to work through their grief and uphold her memory through their work honouring Tashina, Tucker, and the rest of the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Canada.

Seniority over qualifications: Ojibway language teacher replaced

By TRT staff THUNDER BAY – David Thompson, an indigenous language instructor of Ojibway descent, was released of his fulltime job teaching high school Ojibway at Lakehead Public Schools in Thunder Bay, Ont., last week during a round of job cuts.

He was replaced by a man who specializes in business studies and has no professional qualifications in any language.

"It's a total insult to our youth to put someone in front of the classroom to teach Ojibway, who is not Ojibway, who is not affiliated with the culture or brought up with it," Thompson told

the CBC. Thompson wrote in a complaint that he filed with the Human Right Tribunal of Ontario that the teacher currently doing his old job is not indigenous and does not speak Ojibway. Lakehead Public Schools did not comment on the complaint yet a spokesperson directed those asking towards the board’s hiring policy.

"Fluency is a further consideration in hiring [Ojibway language teachers]," the policy states. "We invite a community elder, fluent in the language, to participate in the interview process in order to determine fluency."

The co-chair of the

board's Aboriginal Education Advisory Committee, Dolores Wawia, told the CBC she knows of instances where non-indigenous teachers have ended up with jobs teaching indigenous languages, even if they do not speak those languages. She said she thinks there should be a rule about teaching native language by native people.

That rule does not exist right now, and the Ontario College of Teachers also does not have a rule requiring native language teachers to have any specialized language qualifications.

Thompson's also names the Ontario Secondary School Teach-

ers' Federation in his complaint because, he says, the union did not to pursue his grievance against the man who got his old job and instead protected the other teacher, based on his seniority.

"The whole experience was dehumanizing," Thompson told the CBC. "It felt not worthy of what I brought to the school board, of what I had to offer."

Thompson said his complaint is based on what he deems systemic barriers that prevent Ojibway people from teaching their own language, culture and history within the public school system.

US cancels oil permits on sacred indigenous lands

By Nahnda Garlow MONTANA — US officials are cancelling 15 oil and gas leases on sacred Blackfoot territory in Montana.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said the area should not have been leased to begin with — and says the lease cancel-

lations set the right tone for how business should be done in the future.

Officials said the leases were issued to Devon Energy over 30 years ago without consultations with tribal leaders.

Devon Energy said it cooperated with the lease cancellation, saying it was the right thing to do.

Indigenous must help fight climate change

By Nahnda Garlow WINNIPEG —A Manitoba chief says indigenous voices are crucial to fight climate change.

TWO ROW TIMES

Dear full-blooded Canadians, Editorial by Jonathan Garlow If you have any native friends on social media then you are aware of #NODAPL and the anti-oil stance of indigenous people. For all others, consider this your notification.

Many of your fellow countrymen have pointed out that indigenous people also use fossil fuel and are active participants in North American consumerism. Okay, that is true but there are a few points to be made before that statement can be qualified.

These detractors fail to realize that our original country has been taken hostage by theirs through fabricated legislation called the “Indian Act of Canada”. North American history is a history of squatting and land theft, look at the Rupert’s Land Act. Fact: Canada was a company before it was a country.

In 1670, legend goes, a change of guard happened. Hundreds of fully sovereign and unconquered indigenous nations seem to have unilaterally passed all authority and jurisdiction to the Hudson’s Bay Company of Adventurers, or so they say.

We say different — there is no wampum or contract for this deal.

Two hundred years later, 1870 A.D., one and a half million square miles of territory were transferred to create the Dominion of Canada which at the time had a population of 3,625,000. Canada even had the nerve to trans-

form itself from a colony to a nation despite having no real culture, land base or language other than European ones. They charged themselves £300,000 (that’s British pounds) and that was that.

Canada is still legally a Dominion and as a matter of fact, it can be called simply “Dominon” although the term fell out of favour after the Second World War, it still applies. A Mari Usque Ad Mare (English: From Sea to Sea) is your official Canadian motto taken from Psalm 72:8, “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.” Unfortunately for Canadians, this psalm was written in 930 B.C. by King Solomon about the coming Messiah. Saviour complex much, Canada?

Here in our continent, deals were made without our knowledge and consent and there is no good reason to explain why Canada has possession of our collective land without resorting to North American fables of divine providence. Turtle Island is not your “Holy Land”, bro.

Despite all the talk of reconciliation, all we are doing here on both sides is procrastinating an inevitable war that our children will have to fight.

Look at the 1,100 unsettled land claims, and the nearly 1,300 missing and murdered indigenous women and children – is your country intentionally provoking us?

We didn’t choose this colonized life — colonization was forced upon us. Dear Canadians, your

government enacted a genocidal reign of terror against us indigenous people that still isn’t over.

So when you point out the fact that we drive SUV’s it doesn’t win the argument because our indigeneity isn’t dependent on external circumstances.

Indigenous people think in quantum — both/ and. Maybe we are naive but we believe we can use oil in an ethical manner, or maybe in a less lethal way.

It’s also important to note that we don’t own the billion dollar companies who are profiting from fossil fuels.

As it stands right now there are very few protections and considerations for the earth and also the animal life that depends on water.

If we cannot prevent bitumen from being extracted from our mother’s veins, indigenous people everywhere will demand that it is delivered safely without the risk of harming her even more.

How can millions not care about the land they are from? The ferocious obsession our visitors have for stealing resources and destroying our land proves that it doesn’t really belong to them because if it did they would protect it like the real flesh and blood warriors who are laying it all on the line every single cold day in North Dakota.

Relax with the looting and pillaging young visitors.

Calmly dealing with unintentional racism

By Chezney Martin It wasn't too long ago that the question, “If native americans killed each other pre-contact, why do you guys hate white people for killing you too?” was asked.

The answer is one that strikes a lot of initial anger. You might think 'I want to give this person a piece of my mind,' or, 'what in the world makes this person think that's a good question?’.

But, you've got to remember that majority of the non-indigenous population really doesn't realize when they're being ignorant, because they don't know what they don't know.

So, in answering the question I painted the picture of how European contact began with “Hello, we wish to be your friends. Let us lay down wampum and treaties and work together,” which without much cause led to the reveal of the true agenda; “Let us colonize this land, develop it and rid these savages of their wretched traditions and culture because they are in the way.” So, I think it's safe to say that having sacred agreements perpetually spat on through time would upset anyone.

We're not just talking about a raid of a few hungry warriors in the night either, we're talking the mass killing of roughly 70 million indigenous people. And for some reason, everyone has

We’re in a time where ignorance shouldn’t be tolerated.” this picture in their head that North and South America we not heavily populated or ‘developed’.

Like golly gee, sorry our people didn't cut down every tree in sight and lay down cement to prove that we were here. Maybe that's why nobody really cares too much about Americas least spoken about genocide outside of the indigenous circle, because nobody has a realistic picture of what happened here.

What does 70 million people look like?

Let's just say that it's well over the population of Canada, which is estimated at 36 million today.

But, I digress. Most Europeans simply wanted to escape famine and seek the promise that they would own their own land and have freedoms they didn't before.

Which at the time, was quite unheard of as land was so hard to come by in the overpopulated areas in Europe, where everyone and their cousin's mother had a greedy landlord.

So, it's understandable that many families did not fully understand what had taken place here for them to be able

to “claim” that land. And for years, centuries even, those families were left in the dark. Until of course, the whole “cowboys and indians” crap came along. But, that's where asking questions comes in a little handy.

I don't want to tell you how many times someone has commented on my traditional regalia and called it a “costume,” to which I've looked at them dead pan and told them “this isn't a costume.” The annoyed tone I give them comes from the fact that we're in a time where ignorance really shouldn't be tolerated because it's easy to think 'people should know by now.' But they just don't.

So instead of wanting to tell someone off for their ignorance, look at it as an opportunity to teach them something, to change their minds and broaden their thoughts. Look at it as being in the spotlight to tell them about your people, about the plights and problems you have to face as an indigenous person. Because telling them to go take a hike is just gonna feed into the stereotypes most people believe.

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

Indians or Sovereign First Peoples

By Rachel A. Snow It has been a long struggle for the first peoples, the original peoples to gain the attention of non-native people in Canada.

The European colonizers/settlers only sought land and resource extraction with the original people being an encumbrance to their greed.

Since the first meetings of peace and friendship the original peoples have struggled to maintain autonomy and a peaceful existence with the newcomers. Why has this been difficult?

Essentially there is a worldview chasm. The worldview of the settler/ colonizer contains notions of individuality and material gain. The worldview of the original peoples includes tribal or collective identities and an understanding to share the land and resources.

The worldview of the original people is not underdeveloped, primal or savage. It is the worldview that comes from millennia of stewardship, understanding societal relationships and survival. Communicating this worldview to a society without comparators has proven to be impossible.

Often original peoples are forced to use or write in the language and frameworks of the oppressing nation. Here we

see the beginning of the failure to communicate opposing worldviews.

With the original settlers/colonizers, survival was the first concern.

The next issue involved seizing territorial jurisdiction. Today’s Canada is a state with this history still unfolding.

The fight between Britain and France resulted in an uncomfortable division of power that has permeated through history seen in current legislation, policy and law (common and civil).

This Canada is failing to address the original “founding” nation. This Canada is failing to acknowledge the original peoples and their distinctive ways.

With the “creation” of a new country, there is one threshold issue that continues to elude modern Canadian governments.

The land was occupied.

There were systems of governance in place.

There were practices and laws that accompanied the highly developed societies prior to British or Canadian tampering.

Currently, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is trying to placate the original peoples by saying there will be “inclusion” of the original peoples’ worldviews into government policy. This is a blatant lie.

It is the same “inclu-

sion” that takes a cookie cutter approach to what the Liberals or non-native governments “deign to acknowledge” as “aboriginal or indigenous inclusion”. This cherry picking approach is selective about what the oppressor government will “allow” the original peoples to practice or follow. It is the same attitude that has existed since first contact. It is the same approach that continues to allow the first peoples to live in poverty, bereft of land, resources and their collective cultural integrity.

Why is this a continuing problem?

First of all, it was difficult for the oppressor/ settler invaders to understand that they had stumbled onto peoples with a rich and vibrant way of life tied to the land.

If you are an oppressor society, with a comparator of land holdings for the nobility or the wealthy only, it is impossible to fathom that the original peoples of Turtle Island were content to live in harmony with their surroundings.

This failure of the initial meeting of minds continues. The mindless Canadian settler state only sees the land and resources of this land as profit. The settler state should recognize its own legal history in that the

occupation of other peoples indicates that “ownership” was in practice.

Here we see the second failure to communicate.

If the original peoples occupied the land and used the resources sparingly, sharing and respecting that Creation needed stewarding, then they did not in fact “own the land” but merely were using or occupying the land. Here lies the justification for colonizer thinking to take, rape and plunder the land we now call Canada.

This is faulty reasoning. If the law of Britain acknowledged that there were “occupier” proprietor rights, then why would this not apply in “the new world”? Oppressor “manmade frameworks” are not the rule of law; they are the rule of those greed-based institutions that purport to “make laws”. It is this law making “tradition” that continues to “make laws” and policy for the original occupiers of the land.

Compounding this original mistaken belief of the British settler/invader is that Canada, the state, now exists as a result of wrongdoing. It is the state of Canada that profits from the international treaties signed by the British Crown and the original peoples occupying Turtle Island.

How is Canada the

survivor state faring in upholding the original nation-to-nation relationship and treaties made with the original peoples? Canada is carrying on as though it is a full nation with lawmaking, policy and judicial powers although it is the inheritor of Britain’s contractual obligations.

Recently the federal government under Justin Trudeau has announced several methods to insure this nation-to-nation relationship will herald “new or improved relations”. Canada has stated internationally that it will embrace the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous People, and then qualified this statement.

Canada has stated that as a result of their complicity in genocide against the original peoples through residential schools, chemical germ warfare and forced relocation; they will adhere to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) commission. This is Canada’s admission to follow through on the TRC recommendations but on “their terms”.

Today, post secondary and other education institutions are seeking to assist Canada in reeducating Canadians with the correct information about the original inhabitants. Canada sees only

used. It is a violation of human rights because of the freezing 20 F (-6 C) temperatures, the night of the 20th. It was also a violation of the spirit, because they were trapped on a bridge and were relentlessly assaulted with the very water they are trying to save.

This was the same night that Sophia

Wilansky was shot 14 times by police as she was handing out bottles of water and surgeons fought for days to save her limb. How ironic that a woman was shot while attempting to save our mother, the earth.

President Barrack Obama said he will just ‘let it play out’ so, we can’t count on any help

from Barry. The left and the right wing belong to the same greedy vulture that’s been masquerading around the globe as a bald eagle.

Oil companies make up the richest corporations in the world – rich in money that is. China National Petroleum generated $299 billion last year. Sinopec and Roy-

Dear Full-blooded Canadians continued from previous November 20th when the American state violently broke international treaties and attacked water protectors again, this time with increased aggression. He was hit by a tear gas canister that could have taken his life.

Deyodawenye Styres and other Water Warriors from Six Nations were also there when it hap-

pened.

Shilo is recovering well, bruises and swelling are going away.

Human rights investigators are looking into the video footage of water cannons being used directly on water protectors and land defenders. An official statement

by N.D. police said that no water cannon was

one “aboriginal” or “indigenous” approach and is failing at recognizing the specificity and unique worldviews and cultures of the different original peoples. In many post secondary programs, there are non-natives or Master aboriginal/indigenous instructors offering distorted pan-Indian curriculum.

This is problematic because without a proper understanding that the original peoples are distinct people such as the Mi’kmaq, Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabe, Nehiyew or Oyatê, then these institutions are continuing the colonial path of willful misunderstanding.

The existing governments – municipal, provincial (territorial) and federal are offering posts that mock the nationhood and sovereignty of the varied original peoples who still exist on this land.

Is this reconciliation?

Is reconciliation the action that says we will do something, without understanding? It appears that Canada the state that owes its existence to the original contracts signed between sovereign nations will celebrate 150 years of “existence” without having moved from the colonial thinking of 1867.

Wesakechak “whisky jack” may become Canada’s national bird

By Jayson Koblun TURTLE ISLAND – The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has ended its two-year National Bird Project by unveiling its pick for Canada’s newest national symbol — the whisky jack — also known as the grey jay or the Canada Jay. The society will now be seeking the federal government to officially adopt the whisky jack as Canada's national bird in an Act of Parliament in 2017 to mark Canada's 150th birthday.

"We are honoured to recommend the grey jay as a fresh symbol of our collective passion for natural environments, and our concern for their conservation and stewardship," Aaron Kylie, Canadian Geographic editor, said in press release.

After a countrywide vote, the grey jay did not lead the national poll and did not even make second place. First and

The whisky jack, a.k.a., the grey jay or Canada jay, has been selected by Canadian voters and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society to be the country's national bird. The federal government has the final say and will hopefully decide before Canada's 150th birthday. PHOTO BY STEVE PHILLIPS/CAN GEO second place went to the loon and snowy owl, but a spokesperson said staff vetoed the two from the running because they are already provincial symbols in Ontario and Quebec. The society was looking for a new and fresh symbol for the country.

“Quick to learn that humans can be an excellent source of food, the gray jay often visits lumber camps, kills made by hunters, and the campsites of canoeists, looking for scraps of anything edible,” says Hinterland’s wildlife website.

Whisky jack was taken

from Wesakechak, Wisagatcak, Wisekejack, or other variations of the word used in the Algonquian family — mostly Cree — of aboriginal languages of eastern Canada to designate a mischievous, transforming spirit

who liked to play tricks on people The grey jay is the only Canadian bird for which a name of aboriginal derivation has been commonly used in English and has nothing to with references to whisky alcohol. Early settlers didn’t know how to pronounce the original Cree word so they settled for “whisky jack”.

Wesakechak is a well-meaning and kind-hearted cultural hero of the Cree tribe, and has been sometimes referred to as a "transformer" by folklorists.

His name is spelled so many different ways partially because Cree was originally an unwritten language, so English speakers and early settlers spelled it however it sounded to them at the time. Some legends and myths of Wesakechak claim he has defeated evil spirits and monsters such as the Wendigo — a

cannibal monster or evil spirit native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the U.S. and Canada.

The Cree language is spoken across a huge geographical range in both Canada and the U.S., so it has many different dialects which is why there are so many different ways to spell Wesakechak.

Wesakechak is a trickster character whose adventures are often humorous. Unlike Plains Indian tricksters, however; Wisakedjak is usually portrayed as a staunch friend of humankind, and never as a dangerous or destructive being.

Whatever you choose to call the bird — whisky jack, the grey jay or Canada jay — it is known as a very friendly and tameable bird and may be Canada’s newest symbol by 2017.

The Cayugas called — they want their land back

By Jim Windle CAYUGA – Haldimand County wants to remove its existing museum and an old log cabin from the early 1800s to make way for a new administrative building complex. To do so, they would have to dispossess the land these facilities were built on so many years ago, but to whom should it go?

That’s where things gets dicey. Usage of the land in question was gifted the settler government by the Cayuga Nation settled on the Grand River before being amalgamated onto what became Reserve #40, of 1832 to be used as a jail. In later years other things were built on it as well.

The Six Nations Men’s Fire believe it should come back to the Cayugas

of the Grand River Territory, and are reminding Haldimand of how they got that land in the first place.

Historical documents have been prepared to support the notion that Haldimand has no right to do anything with the land in question without the specific permission of the Cayuga Nation of the Grand River.

The Hodiskeagehda Men’s Fire of the Six Nations Grand River Territory sent a letter to Haldimand this week letting their concerns be known.

It reads: RE: Accommodate Review-Haldimand County Museum and Archives HCMA Pin 0140, Cab Pin 0144 It appears the Gifted Property, which was to

remain a museum and archives for visitors forever, has been abandoned by your directors, this piece of property will remain with its contents intact as such to the original agreement.

Therefore, under section 35 of the constitution, we the Haudenosaunee people are to be included in the final decision of this property.

Also, the Haldimand Municipality has a fiduciary duty to consult with the following parties: Mississauga of New Credit, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, and HCCC Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council, regarding any development of lands in Haldimand Tract.

We have a title to this property, which states clearly the ownership

(Haldimand Proclamation) forever.

Respectfully Submitted Secretary of the Hodiskeaghda (Men’s Fire) Last year the museum and archive lost $24,600 which is pushing a move to ride themselves of the museum and archive and store it somewhere else.

That would be quite an undertaking as it houses 32,000 artifacts and records. It also houses 23,000 genealogical records.

Within those records is an original copy of the Crown Patent for the land. It states, “To have and to hold to the Municipal Council aforesaid and Assigns forever in Trust for the purpose of erecting a Gaol, Court House and other Public buildings thereon.”.

The Haldimand County Solicitor advises that he believes that is a conditional/restriction that may still bind the property, and is so, a legal proceeding to repeal the conditions of the Crown Patent would need to be undertaken if the County wanted to lands to be released from that restriction ad the Crown, as represented by the Ministry of Natural Resources, would be the party do it.”

The Fire attended an open house on Tuesday afternoon, Nov 22, 2016 at Kingsmen Hall in Cayuga where input for the planned project was considered.

The report to council also stated, “The matter of Crown Patent may, therefore, may limit the ability to dispose of the land for non-public use

without undertaking a legal proceeding.”

The Hodiskeaghda Men’s Fire intend to bring this matter before the courts if necessary. Once the land is restored to the Cayuga Nations, it is to be decided later what to do with any possible proceeds made from a possible land-use agreement or purchase proceeds.

“We are getting in on the ground floor of this development before anything is actually done,” says Wilf Davey of the Men’s Fire.

They believe if Haldimand dispossesses the land that was given for a specific purpose, it should come back to the Cayugas of the Grand River Territory who once occupied the land and gifted it with provisos.

SIX NATIONS - A collision on Chiefswood Road nearing Sixth Line Road called for a section of the road to be blocked from local traffic as a canine search was set out to find the alleged driver that initiated the accident.

Local eye witnesses claim that the smaller black car had been driving toward Sixth Line Road when the larger truck slid into the opposing lane and connected with the car causing the scene above. The driver of the truck has since not been located as efforts to find the alleged driver continue. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Indigenous sexual abuse likely to dominate inquiry into murdered, missing women The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Sharon Acoose remembers being groped as a child by an uncle who paid her in pocket change for her trouble — the earliest roots of a life scarred by sex work, drug use and jail time. ``He would give me a quarter ... or a nickel or a dime, whatever he had,'' Acoose, 63, recalled during an interview with The Canadian Press. ``You wouldn't believe all the candies that I bought.''

Despite the longest of odds, she managed to turn her life around, eventually becoming a professor of social work.

Countless others who followed a similar trajectory are no longer alive to tell the tale.

To this day, that same cycle is repeating itself with alarming frequency in indigenous communities across Canada, a CP investigation has found.

And with its insidious

links to suicide, violence and mental health problems, the issue of child sexual abuse is poised to be a key theme in next year's long-anticipated national inquiry into the tragic phenomenon of murdered and missing indigenous women.

Acoose was just three years old and living in Regina when it started — three separate uncles, all of them now dead. The memory later manifested as emotional, spiritual and physical self-punishment, fuelled by the cocktail of drugs and alcohol she used to numb her pain. ``That was just my destiny,'' she said. ``That's exactly why I became what I became, because I grew up bitter, against men.''

Indeed, experiences of sexual and physical abuse among indigenous women and girls are so pervasive they are expected to overwhelm next year's national inquiry, where commissioners will ex-

amine and report on the systemic causes of the violence.

Hearings are expected to begin in early 2017 and will undoubtedly draw attention from around the globe, said chief commissioner Marion Buller.

In May 2014, the RCMP documented 1,181 murdered and missing women between 1980 and 2012. A year later, it said 32 additional aboriginal women had been murdered and 11 more had disappeared since it first reported on the issue.

The force also cited an ``unmistakable connection'' between homicide and family violence.

Aboriginal women are vulnerable precisely because they're aboriginal and women, said Dr. Yvonne Boyer, a Canada Research Chair at Manitoba's Brandon University.

Boyer co-authored a report on trafficking of aboriginal women for the Public Safety Department in May 2014 that noted

many of its participants suffered sexual abuse as a child, contributing to a pattern of exploitation that carried on into their adult years. ``I see it as all being on a continuum,'' she said in an interview. ``You have children who are abused, you have young teenagers that are abused, they go through life, then it is just normalized behaviour ... some of them, we just don't hear their voices anymore because they're gone.''

The links between missing and murdered women and childhood sexual abuse are undeniable, added Wally Oppal, who led B.C.'s hearings on how authorities handled cases in the wake of the Robert Pickton investigation.

Pickton — one of Canada's most notorious serial killers — was convicted in 2007 of the murders of six women and charged in the deaths of 20 others.

A number of them were aboriginal.

Oppal's report found aboriginal women experience higher levels of violence in terms of both incidence and severity and are disproportionately represented among the missing and murdered. ``I still think of those women and what had happened to them ... the abuses that had taken place and why they had left home,'' he said.

Indigenous women who have been incarcerated like Acoose commonly suffer from abuse and share similar vulnerable backgrounds with those who go murdered and missing, said Kim Pate — longtime head of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies and one of Canada's newest senators.

These women are at risk of being re-victimized. They find themselves over-policed yet underprotected from the violence and exploitation that enters all too often into their lives, she said.

``If they end up on the street or in communities where they are being victimized, they're often trying to figure out ways to survive that violence,'' Pate said. ``They're trying to negotiate their lives.''

Indigenous women are also more likely to be criminalized for fighting back, Pate added.

While The Canadian Press has a policy of not identifying the victims of sexual assault, Acoose agreed to be identified in this story as part of her ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the issue.

In her work at the First Nations University of Canada's Saskatoon campus, she finds herself pondering a lingering question: why wasn't there a national public inquiry 20 years ago? ``I am so fortunate to be able to talk to people and tell my story,'' Acoose said. ``I should have been dead by the time I was 20.''

to charge any of the six provincial police officers accused of abusing indigenous women in the northern Quebec town of Val d'Or. Quebec's Public Security Department had mandated the Montreal police force to investigate allegations of physical and sexual abuse by provincial police in Val d'Or, following an award-winning investigative report

by Radio-Canada's investigative program ``Enquete'' in 2015.

It later expanded that investigation to include other complaints from other parts of Quebec.

Montreal police looked at 38 cases of police abuse allegations, including alleged rape, sexual assault, harassment and so-called ``starlight tours,'' where police would allegedly take people against their will and drive them far outside town and abandon them.

The Crown confirmed Friday two people had been charged and the decision not to lay charges in other cases meant that the burden of proof wasn't met.

An independent observer appointed by the government suggested the existence of discrim-

ination and systemic racism in Quebec's provincial police force toward indigenous people.

Picard accused Quebec of hiding behind the federal National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. ``The reaction of (Quebec premier Philippe) Couillard government is to sweep this all into the federal camp,'' Picard said. ``What happened to the sacrosanct provincial jurisdiction of Quebec, especially in matters of policing?''

The province said Friday it would create a

``working roundtable'' on the quality of relations between police forces and indigenous people.

That's not enough, said Matthew Coon Come, the grand chief of the Grand Council of the Crees, adding a federal inquiry wouldn't give the issue the attention it needs. ``The prosecutors admission of the limitations of the justice system was equally disturbing,'' Coon Come said. ``What has happened and will continue to happen to these women is not isolated to Val d'Or — this is a province-wide crisis needing the attention of the prov-

ince.''

Coon Come questioned why the provincial government was so quick to act when journalists complained about spying or when a Quebec City woman accused a member of the provincial legislature of sexual assault. ``The double-standard could not be more striking,'' said Coon Come. ``Yet the Government of Quebec continues to resist and ignore the overwhelming evidence of the need for an provincial judicial inquiry — a revision of how justice is administered to and for indigenous populations.''

Quebec indigenous leaders renew call for inquiry into relations with police The Canadian Press MONTREAL — Quebec indigenous leaders are renewing calls for a public inquiry into the relationship between police and First Nations communities, even as the province continues to refuse.

Ghislain Picard, chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, told a news conference Monday that it was unacceptable that the province has refused to hold an independent probe.

The calls came after last week's decision

Amnesty International asks Obama to release Peltier

By Jim Windle A sitting president has the traditional right to give pardons to those convicted of certain crimes, through executive clemency. As stated in the American Constitution, in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, “Presidents have the power to grant clemency in one or more of the following ways: the ability to grant a full pardon, to commute a sentence, or to rescind a fine. U.S. Presidents have no power to grant clemency for crimes prosecuted under state law.

What is a pardon and a commutation: • A pardon is an executive order vacating a conviction.

• A commutation is the mitigation of the sentence of someone currently serving a sentence for a crime pursuant to a conviction, without vacating the conviction itself.

Maybe a good way to say goodbye to the White House would be for President Obama to make good

on his promise to help American Natives find justice, by releasing Leonard Peltier.

Leonard Peltier has served imprisonment after being convicted for the deaths of two FBI agents who died during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Peltier has been in prison for the past 41 years despite lobbying and letter writing efforts by Amnesty International, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, National Congress of American Indians, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Rev. Jesse Jackson, all of whom consider him a political prisoner who should be immediately released.

In 1973, Peltier was an AIM leader and was asked by traditional people at Pine Ridge, South Dakota, to support and protect the traditional people being targeted for violence. He and a small group of young AIM members set up camp on a ranch owned by the

Leonard Peltier. FILE PHOTO traditional Jumping Bull family.

A shootout between government agents in unmarked cars and Pine Ridge protesters ended with two FBI agents and one Native American dead. The agents were injured in the shootout and were then shot at close range. The Native American, Joseph Stuntz, was shot in the head by a sniper’s bullet. Mr. Stuntz’s death has never been investigated, nor has anyone ever been charged in connection with his death.

Although there were more than 40 Natives involved in the shootout, AIM members Bob Robideau, Darrell Butler, and Leonard Peltier were the

only ones brought to trial.

Robideau and Butler were arrested first and went to trial. A federal jury in Iowa acquitted them on grounds of self-defense, finding that their participation in the shootout was justified given the climate of fear that existed on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Myrtle Poor Bear said she was Peltier’s girlfriend at the time and allegedly saw him shoot the agents.

On that information, Peltier was extradited and arrested in Canada along with Frank Blackhorse, a.k.a. Frank Deluca on February 6, 1976. He was tried in 1977. Soon after, Poor Bear recanted her statements and said the FBI threatened her and

coerced her into signing the affidavits.

Myrtle Poor Bear and other witnesses were not allowed to testify and three teenaged Native witnesses testified against Peltier, they all later admitted that the FBI forced them to testify. Still, not one witness identified Peltier as the shooter.

More than 140,000 pages of FBI documents regarding the incident had been withheld from the court. The results of a ballistic test proving that the casing found near the body of the agents did not come from the gun tied to Peltier were intentionally withheld as well.

Peltier eventually won a hearing for a new trial, but the Eighth Circuit ruled, “There is a possibility that the jury would have acquitted Leonard Peltier had the records and data improperly withheld from the defense been available to him in order to better exploit and reinforce the inconsistencies casting strong doubts upon the government's case." Yet,

the court denied him that trial.

Even Judge Heaney, who authored the decision denying a new trial, has since voiced firm support for Peltier’s release. He has since made statements that the FBI used improper tactics to convict Mr. Peltier,and that the FBI was equally responsible for the shootout, and that Mr. Peltier's release would promote healing with Native Americans.

Even if Peltier did the shooting, which has never been proven, he has served much more time behind bars than is reasonable or rational.

To mark Peltier’s 72nd birthday today, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) released a new video urging President Obama to grant clemency to Anishinabe-Lakota Native American activist Leonard Peltier before leaving office.

Black Friday, Big Friday, big sales

By Jayson Koblun Since the ‘50s, Americans have perfected the art of creating what is possibly the largest international shopping frenzy ever by combining two key ingredients — price-slashing and short shopping time frames.

The frenzy is widely known as Black Friday, a weekend in November full of impressive sales and deals, however; in 1961 the term was changed to “Big Friday” in an attempt to remove any racist or negative connotations to the name, but that didn’t last very long. Retailers soon picked up the term Black Friday again and it’s stuck ever since. This year Black Friday falls on November 25.

For years Canadians have flocked to the U.S. border to get in on some of the deals and action

because Canada didn’t fully embrace the frenzy themselves until the late 2000s. A website dedicated to the history of Black Friday wrote that Canadian retailers didn’t officially take part in black Friday sales until 2008 in an attempt to discourage Canadian shoppers from heading south to spend their money.

Mitchell Feero, a retail worker in New Brunswick said Black Friday gets him pumped for Christmas.

“I partake because I work in retail,” said Feero. “The busyness makes it fun and really gets me in the Christmas spirit.”

Some people, like Becky Sterner from Michigan, join the flurry of shoppers just to see how wild things can get.

“I like to go and ‘people watch’ and see how crazy people can get,” said Sterner. “And of course,

maybe find the occasional good deal.”

Since 2006 there have been seven deaths and 98 injuries recorded on the website blackfridaydeathcount.com. The site records U.S. injuries only. In 2008 a man was trampled to death in a Long Island Wal-Mart shopping centre; trampling seems to have been one of the more common causes of injury as shoppers storm the doors of shopping centres when they open.

Dustin Day, also from New Brunswick, grew up near the border and has never really participated in the United States’ Black Friday sales.

“I haven’t really participated, I’ve bought home improvement items that I’ve seen on a good sale before [in Canada], but other than that I don’t really look for anything specific,” said Day. “I’ve

never really considered it dangerous though — because I live on the border I’d like to go over and see the madness someday.”

Smart shoppers recognize that Black Friday is a great time to find deals on holiday gifts, and following these tips can help shoppers save even more.

• Begin researching early. Since many retailers begin posting information online or send out advertisements about sale items far in advance of Black Friday, shoppers should pay attention to each retailer’s offerings so they can better co-ordinate their shopping efforts. Cross-reference prices against other stores, including both online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

• Establish a shopping budget. It’s tempting to

go out shopping with credit cards blazing, but that may lead to overspending.

Determine what you can afford and set a budget for Black Friday shopping. Establishing a budget can help you avoid impulse purchases as well.

• Look for extra discounts. The early bird often gets the worm, but late shoppers also may benefit on Black Friday.

Determine which times of the day stores are offering their biggest discounts. Doorbuster sales tend to start very early, but such sales might be irrelevant if only items you do not need are being discounted. Determine if there are any additional sales that extend throughout the day.

• Divide and conquer.

Split up the shopping responsibilities so you and your family can get your shopping done quickly.

The divide and conquer approach allows you to cover more ground and ensures someone will be there to claim the best deals from various retailers.

• Dress comfortably for shopping. Malls and department stores may be crowded and can be warm, so dress in layers so you can remove clothing if you get hot.

You’ll probably do a good deal of walking on Black Friday, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

• Have discount codes at the ready. Many retailers now use digital apps or emails to keep in touch with customers.

These same apps may enable smartphone users to search for discount codes and other coupons. Keep digital coupons handy so they can be presented quickly at checkout.

It’s worth a drive out to G & M Sportswear/Workwear

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Having just celebrated 21 years of business on Six Nations, owner of G & M Sports and Workwear Marilyn Frank is keeping her mother’s dream of operating a business on Six Nations alive and strong.

“My mom Grace and I opened up the business back in 1995,” said Marilyn. “That’s why it’s called G & M — for Grace and Marilyn.” Grace passed away four short months after the business opened.

Marilyn said that her mother and her were sewing and creating outfits and clothing long before they started a business together. The pair worked in and around the community fulfilling custom orders for hooded sweatshirts, jogging outfits, shirts, hosting parties and more.

“Sewing was definitely our main thing,” said

Marilyn, sitting beside a beautiful, multi-coloured zip-up hoodie she keeps on display — the last article of clothing her mom made.

After her mother’s passing, Marilyn found sewing and creating to be a healthy escape from the loss, and really put her nose to work in building up the business to what she felt her mother would have wanted it to become. Now years later, G & M offers a wide variety of products and services for the community and surrounding areas.

“It’s just me that works here, well, my daughter helps me out with the tech side of things, and my husband helps me move things around, but it’s just me doing all the sewing and designing,” said Marilyn. “There’s so much we offer now, it can be overwhelming when it gets busy, but I love it.” Marilyn’s husband’s aunt, Shirley, covers for Marilyn when she needs

a break or a vacation.

G & M still offers services like making custom clothing and small repair work like fixing broken zippers and such, but Marilyn has recently branched out into the promotional and marketing design world.

“Now I’m taking orders for all kinds of promotional things,” said Marilyn. “Like putting logos and designs on flashlights, golf balls, lanyards, USB flash drives — I can get a logo put on almost anything you can think of.”

Like all other locally owned business on the territory, G & M charges no tax on it’s already fair-priced products — a great opportunity for new on-reserve and off-reserve customers to make the trip to visit G & M on 583 Mohawk Road for all their workwear, safety boots, shoes, gear and more.

“We carry Tough Duck workwear, safety work

Marilyn Frank, one of the original owners of G & M Sportswear, hangs this sweater in her workspace. It's the last article of clothing her mother Grace made before she passed away four months after the business opened 21 years ago. PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN boots and shoes, safety gear, coveralls, casual wear, custom embroidery, athletic wear — all kinds of things that peo-

ple in the area would want,” said Marilyn. “For great prices too.”

Marilyn also offers; winter and fall coats,

WORK WEAR SAFETY BOOTS HATS

NO TAX

toques, caps, gloves, socks, pyjamas, t-shirts, sweaters, blue-jeans, long-johns, high visibility work pants and coats, all ranging in size from child to 5-XL for adults.

“The t-shirts, longjohns, hooded-sweatshirts, pyjamas and that kind of stuff are all handmade,” she said.

Marilyn gets up every morning and begins her work because she genuinely loves what she does and loves seeing the community wear and appreciate her work.

Having just celebrated her 21st year of business, she still has one of the very first housewarming presents she received from two of her loyal customers, Fred and Blanche Hill, now both passed, on her shelf.

“My customers mean a lot to me and I have so many loyal customers to thank for their support,” said Marilyn.

Bullying awareness and prevention week

By TRT staff LONDON – November 20 to 26 is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week in Ontario. This is an opportunity to remind youth and parents of the potential dangers of bullying and to learn more about its effect on student learning and well-being.

It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of solutions to help prevent crime and victimization.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) support the efforts of community agencies collaborating and setting goals to promote bullying awareness and offer support to those who have fallen

victim.

Statistics show that 75 per cent of people have been affected by bullying. Bullying is known to cause serious harm such as headaches, depression, anxiety, and increase the risk of suicide. It can be a traumatic experience, and some forms of bullying can even be considered a criminal offence.

The OPP encourages parents to talk with their children and remind them that it is not acceptable for them to bully, be bullied, or stand by and watch others being bullied.

If you are being bullied, or know someone that is, remember you are never alone. There are many

resources and supports available. These resources can help you develop strategies, connect with support services and identify healthy relationship alternatives. Some resources include: Kids Help Phone, Canadian Centre for Child Protection and the Government of Ontario website.

“The OPP encourages communities to work together to develop bullying prevention strategies. It is important to continue to encourage community support, as community safety and well-being in Ontario is everyone’s responsibility,” said Robyn MacEachern, Inspector, Ontario Provincial Police.

SNEC briefs: $5,000 donation, research programs and scheduling

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – The last 56th Six Nations Elected Council general meeting was almost cancelled due to a lack of quorum — the minimum number of councillors that must be present at its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid — but with seven councillors present by 6:15 p.m., business carried on as usual.

Michelle Bomberry, from the Six Nations Health Foundation, came to last night’s meeting on November 22 to present the elected council with a cheque for $5,000 that will go towards offsetting the costs for new items and equipment in the White Pines Wellness Centre in Ohsweken.

“This $5,000 brings the total amount of money raised for the White Pines Building up to

around $215,000 now.” said Councillor Roger Jonathan. “That means we’re about $60,000 away from the goal.”

The Health Foundation raised the money through various fundraisers.

At the meeting Elected Council also approved Amber Skye’s and Michael Barrie’s applications to begin research for the Six Nations Ethics Committee. Skye applied to research “Indigenous Youth Sexual Health” and Barrie applied to research “Prosody and Syntax in Cayuga and Onondaga”. Prosody is the study or theory of the patterns of rhythm and sound used in poetry. Each applicant was asked by the committee to satisfy a set of conditions regarding their topics of study before Elected Council could approve the applications,

and each applicant did so before last night’s meeting.

The newly elected 57th Six Nations Elected Council will be sworn in on December 2 at 5 p.m.

As of now the swearing in ceremony will take place in elected council chambers, but Councillor Wray Maracle asked that administration look for a larger location to host the ceremony.

“We had one of the largest voter turnouts ever this year,” said Maracle. “I think we should give the community the opportunity to witness the swearing in.”

The 56th Six Nations Elected Council will remain in place until midnight of December 5th and the newly elected 57th Six Nations Elected Council will take over the reins on December 6, 2016.

The Discovering Kaná:ta program is characterized as a true partnership between Niagara Falls

Originally, Niagara Falls Museums had intended to be able to lead the program themselves, but quickly realized that the Chiefswood staff’s ability to use first-person language when talking about First Nations culture had a much greater impact on both their First Nations and non-First Nations students, and adjusted their plans for the program ac-

Retro Gaming is back with the NES Classic

By Jonathan Garlow ENGAGE – The NES Classic is supposed to retail for 90 bucks and is one of this year’s hottest items — good luck to everyone trying to get one, they are going like hot cakes on EBay right now for $250 a pop.

As of November 22, battle.net is surging with thousands of gamers returning to Diablo 2 with a new season.

Retro gaming is back baby.

This sets the perfect stage for an epic old-guy rant.

Video games were better back in the golden age, before the internet.

Developers couldn’t ship out a half-baked game back then since there was no way to download a content update or fix mistakes with updatable patches.

That’s why the 30 games that come built-

in to the NES Classic are all fire, all bonkers game that we all know and love: Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3; The Legend of Zelda; Donkey Kong; Mega Man 2; Pac-Man; Final Fantasy; Kirby’s Adventure; Castlevania; PunchOut; Balloon Fight; Ex-

citebike; Super Contra; and the list goes on and on.

They all shipped in perfect working order back in their day.

The thing about these games is they were challenging. These old retro-games didn’t hold your

hand, if you died that was it you had to start over. Back in my day you couldn’t always save your game because these old cartridges didn’t have much memory. You just had to get “gud”.

Nowadays, in our entitled millennial genera-

tion, gamers can buy their way to the top with real world cash and get a medal for any effort no matter how casual. Games ship in pre-beta conditions, which Steam calls Early Access. What happened to good old fashioned elbow grease?

ENGAGE — Board games offer a lot more than just entertainment. In fact, these games beneficially impact health in multiple aspects at any age. Here are some of the top reasons why family game night can improve everyone’s health while having a good time.

Have fun and feel good. One of the side effect of playing board games is laughing. Laughing has been shown to increase endorphins, those are chemicals that bring up the feeling of happiness.

Sharing laughter and fun can promote empathy, compassion and trust with others.

Family time. Sitting down with family with no interruptions may feel like an impossible thing in your home, as everyone has different schedules which pushes them to opposite directions. But play-

ing games with your kids, or with your friends, is a perfect way to spend time together and build learning skills at the same time.

Memory formation and cognitive skills. Allowing your kids to play a board game helps them practice essential cognitive skills, like problem solving. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex especially benefit from playing board games. These areas of the brain are responsible for complex thought and memory formation.

Reduces risks for mental diseases. One of the primary benefits of playing board games is reducing the risk of cognitive decline, such as that associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Keeping your mind engaged means you are exercising it and building it stronger. A stronger

brain has lower risks of losing its power.

Lowers blood pressure. Along with laughing and increasing your endorphins, they can help you lower or maintain your blood pressure. This release of endorphins help muscles to relax and blood to circulate, which evidently will lower your blood pressure.

Speed up your responses. Get yourself a board game like chess, checkers or monopoly, and in time you might be better at being able to find those hard-to-find car keys without having to look for then in the entire house.

Scientists at the University of Toronto in Canada assessed two groups’ ability to search for and find an object; their results showed that study participants who regularly played video games were

far quicker at locating the target than those who didn’t play.

Reduce stress. You can always benefit from a healthy distraction like playing a board games since it is an excellent way to kick back and relax. According to an online survey by RealNetworks, Inc., a casual games developer, found that 64% of respondents said they play games as a way to unwind and relax and 53% play for stress relief.

Grows your immune system. Research has shown that negativity, depression and stress can reduce your ability to fight disease. Positive feelings and thoughts, like the laughter and enjoyment that always comes with board games, prevents these effects by releasing some chemicals that fight stress and boost your im-

mune system.

Child development.

Board games play a very important role in child health and brain development. Board games help children develop logic and reasoning skills, improve critical thinking and boost spatial reasoning. Encour-

OMG. NINTENDO PRESS PHOTO

When younger gamers hear me griping like this they usually ask me if I’ve played Dark Souls as if one game out of thousands is the answer to my troubled soul. It’s not enough.

Diablo 2 has such appeal because it was the last of the Golden age greats. Shipped in 2001 back before the internet was a common thing, it didn’t require an internet connection to play just like the NES titles. It was also the last of RPG games to have 100 per cent free trade. Not a single item is bind on equip, which leads to rampant gold and item sellers like d2anya. com.

Just like decolonization, we can’t go backwards, but we can learn from the past. Let’s make video games great again.

Family game night: health benefits for the whole family aging children to play different types of board games can also increase verbal and communication skills, while helping develop attention skills and the ability to concentrate and focus for longer periods of time.

How winter is killing your fuel economy

North of Huron Chiefs sign historic relationship accord

(NC) Just when you thought you were already way too familiar with winter's downsides, it turns out facing the cold season means more for your car than just a set of winter tires.

Driving in long Canadian winters can make your wallet unpleasantly light, and here's why: 1. You use more gas in the winter. A drop in temperature from 24°C to 7°C can raise fuel consumption in urban commutes by as much as 28 percent. With the cold comes dry winter air that's denser than summer's humid air, which spells bad news for your gas tank. The colder temperature increases the aerodynamic drag on your car, and adding winter's higher average wind speed to the drag only makes it worse. Plus,

HURON – Chiefs of three neighbouring First Nations on the north shore of Lake Huron signed a Relationship Accord on November 17.

Chief Elaine Johnston of Serpent River First Nation, Chief Reg Niganobe of Mississauga First Nation and Chief Paul Eshkakogan of Sagamok Anishnawbek signed the agreement in a ceremony beginning at 5 p.m. at the Serpent River First Nation band administration building's conference room. Council leadership from each of the communities, Elders and community members also observed and celebrated the agreement with a feast.

2. The gas you use does less. Gasoline blends are adjusted to account for seasonal temperatures.

For example, a litre of winter gas has less energy than a litre of summer gas, as much as 3 percent less. Add that to the higher gas use winter brings, and it's a double holiday helping of hurt for your wallet.

So what can you do?

Despite all the added costs of winter driving, you can make a difference for yourself at the pump by doing something as simple as keeping an eye on your tire pressure or using a block heater with a timer in the morning instead of idling. In fact, keeping your tires at the right pressure can completely offset the lower-energy winter gas in your tank.

"Fish Out of Water" artist Crystal Shawanda performing again mixing country and blues

By Jayson Koblun NASHVILLE – Country and Blues artist, Crystal Shawanda, said the release of her newest album, Fish Out of Water, was a defining moment in her career.

“I started out singing country music,” said Shawanda. “But my last few albums have had an obvious ‘bluesy’ sound to them, so, this new album really defines who I am as a singer and songwriter who blends traditional country and blues together.”

The album came out in October of this year, making it the Juno Award winning songstress’ fourth album. Shawanda will be performing in Brantford at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts this Thursday, November 24.

With Special guest Logan Staats — an award winning singer and songwriter himself.

“I love the type of music I sing because I think it really helps me express who I am,” said Shawanda.

“When I first set out for a singing career in Nashville years ago, it didn’t really go

as I had planned and I ended up having a few setbacks that made me rethink how I was going to go about things — music's always been an outlet for me and I love to share who I am with the people and audiences that come to my shows.”

Shawanda said that her shows are all about “connecting with the audience”, and that she loves being able to get “lost in the show” with everybody there.

“My shows always end up being very emotional,” she said. “Sometimes it feels like the audience and I are floating on stage in a way. It’s beautiful to see those that come to watch me sing let their guard down and just embrace the music.”

It means a lot to Shawanda when she can see individuals in the audience really connecting with her music.

“When I see someone swaying along to the music with me and just really letting go of whatever stresses they have going on and problems they are facing just to be with me for a few moments, it makes me real-

ly happy.”

Shawanda lives in Nashville now with her husband and is expecting her first biological child, but comes from Wikwemikong reserve on an island in Ontario; a community she says is filled with lots of colourful people, referring to their personalities and sense of

humour. She said her family is responsibly for introducing her to Country and the blues.

“My family means so much to me, they’ve helped me so much along the way and I still rely on them,” she said, also mentioning that she calls her mother almost every second day to catch

up, cry, or vent to. “My mom is my rock and has always been there for me no matter what.”

Shawanda is over-thetop excited to be performing this coming Thursday in Brantford and has lots of friends, old and new that she can’t wait to see again.

“I’m going to be singing

a good mix of new and old songs of mine in Brantford,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to this show.”

Tickets for her show can still be purchased for $33.

The show begins at 8 p.m., this Thursday, November 24.

Traditional salve: bloodroot and its relationship to cancer fight

By Chezney Martin Salves and ointments have been topically and orally used by indigenous people across North and South America for time immemorial. The healing benefits can range from the alleviation of itchy or dry skin, boils, infections and even aches and pains depending on the medicinal herbs used.

Nearly all traditional salves use animal fats, oils, and even beeswax as bases.

The first step in making a traditional salve is making what is called a “herbal infusion”, which calls for baking or boiling of the herbal ingredients to a high temperature quickly, then slowly allowing them to simmer for about an hour. Once you've made an herbal infusion, use a cheese cloth to strain the oil away from the herb matter and add your beeswax. The last step is to melt the oil and beeswax together in

a pan over heat, then pour the mixture into containers to allow it to set. It is good to note that the more wax you add, the harder the salve.

Sounds simple enough to make, but the salve being explored today is commercially known for it's topical and oral ability to alleviate certain cancers, warts and tumours; known as bloodroot salve.

This salve evolved from the use of indigenous people in eastern parts of North America all the way to London in the 1850s, as Dr. J. Weldon Fell opened his own breast cancer practice in the Middlesex Hospital in London. The bloodroot was a studious gift offered by indigenous people and Fell published his results from working with the bloodroot to prove it's anti-tumour action.

Bloodroot salve works as an escharotic on warts, pre-cancerous and can-

Buy some salve to support Standing Rock The staff at Herbal Lodge is against what is happening at Standing Rock and is joining with veterans of all the American armed forces to help send them to the front lines as peaceful protestors on the weekend of December 4th.

Herbal Lodge is a sustainable company who makes their products in small batches and in an ethical manner. You can help them send the veterans to Standing Rock by ordering some of their products online at www. herballodge.com.

The sale ends this Saturday, November 26.

When you order, Herbal Lodge is offering 15 per

They sell several different kinds of items such as; salves; ointments; teas; creams; and more.

The veterans will help send a message to the world that what is happening is unacceptable.

They will send a message that U.S. Veterans will not standby and let them hurt people as a military like police forced did this past Sunday when they badly injured a young woman who is currently under going surgery in Minneapolis to hopefully restore her arm.

Bloodroot plant showing the bright white flower. cerous tissue (like visible melanoma) and moles. It kills the unwanted cells,

turns them into a scab and then promotes the body’s immune reaction to expel

it from the body. Being an escharotic topical salve, the salve will cause what is called an eschar which usually looks much like blackened or charred skin, and is the bodies form of healing from and dispelling the dead tissue.

Detractors say the salve eats away tissue; “burns” is the term of choice. But whether it is healthy or not, many do not back up their claims with photos “wounds” after fully healing.

The bloodroot plant is easily recognized by its pretty white flower that springs forth in the early Spring in wooded areas, and the plant is named after it's root sap which resembles blood. Parts of the U.S. that used to grow this plant in abundance, have since lost it.

This decline in bloodroot has also transitioned into eastern provinces of Canada, so the wild growing bloodroot is no longer a commodity.

However, this salve is

something many use at the wrong time, wrong place and even incorrectly. Escharotics cannot “draw out” cancerous tissue under the skin, and oftentimes; when using topical escharotics a user can be left with scarring. To top it off, many non-native importations of what they called “black salve” which were salves made using bloodroot, had been marketed as a cancer “cure,” and entered multiple lawsuits, were not FDA approved or simply earned bad reputations.

So, when following through with the traditional and modern methods of cancer treatment be aware of the pros and cons of both. If you would like to learn more about traditional salve making, the Six Nations community offers classes every so often such as the one held in Tsinonwe Ionakeratstha Onagrahsta Birthing Centre last week. Just keep an eye out for them.

Water protector attacked by law enforcement may lose her arm

By Nahnda Garlow with AP files MINNEAPOLIS — The father of a water protector who was critically injured in Sunday’s attack by law enforcement at Standing Rock is speaking out about his daughter’s condition.

Sophia Wilansky, 21, is facing losing her arm after law enforcement threw a concussion grenade at her body.

“It nearly took her arm off,” said her father, Wayne Wilansky, in a video interview with press posted to social media.

"She was hit with a grenade — an actual grenade — right in the arm,” said Wilansky. “The radius

who were trying to move stranded burned out trucks from the roadway so emergency personnel could access the reservation and the opposition camps.

Ironically, Sophia’s injury Sunday night happened at the area of that blockade, which prolonged her transit to the closest hospital and prevented Bismarck EMT workers from accessing where she was when she needed help.

Hours after her injury, Sophia was airlifted from Bismarck to County Medical Center in Minneapolis.

Wilansky said a quick acting veteran happened to be in the area when his daughter was injured —

“She has bullet wounds all over her body,” Wilansky said.

Sophia told her father later that she witnessed police shooting directly at people’s faces, trying to hit men in the groin.

According to Wilansky vascular surgeons have replaced one artery in her arm by using material from her leg to rebuild what the grenade destroyed.

Wilansky broke down and wept, “She’s devastated. She’s a 21 year old girl looking at her am that’s not there. You’re in America. You’re not in Iraq or Afghanistan. She’s peacefully trying to get people to not destroy the water

bone is significantly missing. All of the arteries are gone. The main nerve is missing and most of the muscle is gone.”

Wilansky said his daughters prognosis is “watch and wait” as vascular surgeons work to restore circulation to try and save her arm and its function. But sadly, there is no quick solution to her injuries.

Wilansky said it will be “many surgeries over weeks and months” hoping to restore at least some function to her arm, if they are able to save it at all.

“She’s a brilliant, strong, beautiful girl,” Wilansky said of Sophia, who travelled to Standing Rock to stand in solidarity with water protectors against the Dakota Access pipeline.

Wilansky said his daughter told him she was present on the bridge at Highway 1806 during Sunday’s police attacks against water protectors,

and their actions, along with help from Standing Rock reservation police to get her medical care right away made all the difference.

He also said that Sophia was shot several times with rubber bullets and other “non-lethal ammunition” by law enforcement involved in the attacks.

Wilansky said his daughter was at the opposition camps near Standing Rock for three weeks and was planning to stand in solidarity for the long haul. Now, he says, she is fearful for her life — worried officials from Energy Transfer Partners are going to come to the hospital

to harm her.

Wilansky said he has made a complaint about Sunday’s action and his daughters attack to the FBI and the US Department of Justice who is doing an investigation. Her clothing is being tested for forensic evidence.

News reports said Sophia was attacked by protestors. Wilansky said this was false information.

“The surgeon said he pulled shrapnel out of her arm. It’s pretty clear it was a grenade that caused this.”

“I’m gonna take every possible step that I can.

It’s my fight now too. I’m gonna do whatever I can to fight for whatever she believed in,” said Wilansky, weeping. “I’m really really angry. If I had the possibility of seeing the people that did this to her it would not be pretty. It’s outrageous that this happens in this country. I’m only afraid things are going to get worse.”

A GoFundMe account was set up for costs to assist Sophia in her surgery and recovery. As of Tuesday evening nearly $233,000 had been raised in under 24 hours. Wilansky said, “I think its amazing for my daughter that there is support from all over the world.”

The Morton County Sheriff's Office maintains authorities did not use concussion grenades or any devices that produce a flash or bang during Sunday’s attacks.

The sheriff's office suggested in a statement Monday that an explosion heard during the skirmish might have been caused by small propane tanks that authorities said protesters had rigged to explode.

Dallas Goldtooth, a protest organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Wayne Wilansky disputed the claim by authorities, saying ``there's multiple witnesses and my daughter, who was completely conscious, said they threw a grenade right at her.''

The North Dakota Highway Patrol in a statement Tuesday backed up the sheriff's office's version of events, saying officers

Sophia Wilansky, 21. FACEBOOK PHOTO during the skirmish spotted protesters with ``multiple silver cylinder objects.'' ``It was at this time an explosion occurred and several protesters ran to the area, pulled a female from under the burned vehicle, and fled the scene,'' the patrol said.

Officers who investigated found 1-pound propane tanks ``including one that appeared to be intentionally punctured,'' the agency statement said.

During the clash, officers using tear gas, rubber bullets and water sprays against protesters who they say assaulted officers with rocks, asphalt, water bottles and burning logs.

One officer was injured when struck in the head with a rock. At least 17 protesters were injured severely enough to be taken to hospitals, according to Goldtooth.

Wayne Wilansky denounced the law enforcement tactics, saying ``this is not Afghanistan, this is not Iraq. We don't throw grenades at people.''

Morton County Sheriff's office spokeswoman Maxine Herr on Tuesday said ``authorities continue to defend our tactics.''

The $3.8 billion pipeline to carry North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois is largely complete outside of a stretch under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The tribe and others have been opposing the construction for months, saying the pipeline threatens the tribe's drinking water along with American Indian cultural sites.

Protests have intensified as the dispute plays out, with total arrests since August reaching 528 on Monday.

North Dakota officials may need to borrow more money to police protests, with costs exceeding the $10 million in emergency spending authorized by the state.

Total state law enforcement costs related to the protests reached $10.9 million last week, according to state Emergency Services spokeswoman Cecily Fong. Morton County has spent an additional $8 million.

Fong said it's ``very likely'' officials will go back to the state's Emergency Commission to request more money.

Pro-Fit Corvairs split weekend with St. Kitts

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – It was an important weekend for both the Caledonia Corvairs and the St. Catharines Falcons who hold the first and second place in the Golden Horseshoe Division of the Ontario Jr. B loop.

The Corvairs and Falcons have a long and not so friendly history and whenever these two teams tangle, fans are in for a good game, ether way. In this case the Corvairs and the Falcons split a home-andhome series.

Friday night in St. Kitts, the Falcons had their way over the Corvairs win a 5-1 romp over the division leaders. Nothing seemed to be working right for Caledonia including their

special teams. The powerplay never got started as they missed on several opportunities. Meanwhile, the Falcons powerplay went 50 per cent with two goals on four chances.

The only thing to prevent a shut out loss was a late goal, scored at 16:46

by Quentin Maksimovich.

After giving their collective heads a shake following the poorly played loss, the Pro-Fit Corvairs came to life with a 2-1 win Saturday night in Caledonia.

It was a much closer played game than the night before with the teams tied at 1-1 after 60 minutes, with Holden Hrysko notching a first period goal from Joshua DeFarias and Zachary Core for Caledonia and Zach Main potting a powerplay goal in the second.

Amazing

There was no scoring in the third period creating the need for a sudden death extra frame, although there were a lot of chances at both ends as St. Catharines’ Owen Savory, and Mackenzie Savard for the Corvairs each made a number of sparkling saves.

But it all came down to OT, and it didn’t take long for the winner to be determined. Brandon Lindberg sent the Caledonia fans home happy at 3:29.

The Pro-Fit Corvairs remain in first with a 25 game record of 21 wins, 3 losses and a tie for 43 points. The St. Catharines Falcons are now 18-3-0-3, for 39 points.

Not long after that Six Nations rattled one off the post, but it remained 1-0 until the clock ran

Burford played with much more intensity in the third, but Montour and her defense kept the Wildcats at bay. There was no scoring in the third of this very entertaining matchup.

“Razor” Hess goes gold

By Jim Windle TORONTO – Karl “the Razor” Hess moved into the Boxing Ontario Open Class ranking with a gold medal performance at the Golden Gloves tournament in Don Valley last weekend.

The Six Nations boxer continues to gather experience and ring-savvy as he moves from the Novice class to the Open where the rounds are three minutes, rather than two, the fighters no longer wear head gear, and the competition is at a much higher level.

Hess’ ring boss, Jackie Armour of Brantford’s Black-Eye Boxing Club, was pleased with his fighter’s showing against Tom Harburn of Goderich last Friday at the Golden Gloves.

Harburn is a fighter Hess has faced before and he knew how to beat him.

“Karl went to the body and worked on the inside throughout all three rounds,” said Armour.

The Razor took the

unanimous decision, which sent him to the Gold Medal match. He was up against a fighter from the Stockyards Boxing Club but he was overweight at the weigh-ins and Hess took the Gold in a walkover.

Hess is now 10-1, the only loss Armour is still upset about thinking his fighter got burned in that loss.

Armour now, with an Open Class boxer in Hess, has a much broader opponent pool to guide the Razor through this phase of his career. The next step up is to the professional ranks.

Armour has worked with Hess for a number of years and believes he’s got what it takes to go pro.

“It’s just going to be a matter of if he really wants to do what it’s going to take to go there,” he says of his fighter.

Hess will debut as an Open Ranked fighter Dec. 4, at the Cabbagetown Boxing Club in Toronto.

Six Nations boxer Karl "the Razor" Hess, fighting out of the Black-Eye-Boxing Club in Brantford, won Gold at the Golden Gloves tournament last week hosted in Toronto. Hess has now moved into the Boxing Ontario Open Class rankings, one step away from Pro.

Knighthawks sign free agent Wayne Van Every Submitted article ROCHESTER N.Y. — The Rochester Nighthawks announced today that they have signed free agent Wayne Van Every to a oneyear deal. The hard-shooting lefty forward is the fourth player signed from the Knighthawks Rookie Camp.

“It feels good,” said Van Every. “It’s a chance to play again.”

The 27-year-old is excited about attending his third National Lacrosse League Training Camp.

Back in 2014, he was a camp invitee of the New England Black Wolves, and prior to that he was in the Buffalo Bandits’ camp in 2010. Van Every made the practice squad his rookie season after being selected in the second round (21st overall) by the Bandits in the 2010 NLL Entry Draft.

Going to the Knighthawks Rookie Camp in late

October and early November allowed him to showcase his talents for another team. He enjoyed every minute of working out at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, which is minutes from his house.

“They put us through the systems they are looking to run and our roles,” he said. “They went over the Xs and Os. They were high-tempo practices.”

Signing with the Knighthawks holds special significance for Van Every, who grew up playing lacrosse on the reservation in southern Ontario. Since June of 2008, the Knighthawks have been owned

by Six Nations’ Curt Styres, who also serves as the team’s general manager.

Van Every is proud to join fellow Six Nations stars Cody Jamieson, Sid Smith, Quinn Powless, Joe “Haodais” Maracle, Wenster Green and Greg Longboat on the Knighthawks ros-

ter.

“Getting signed to a team with ties to the community is a bonus,” said Van Every. “You always want to play for your hometown and this team has that hometown feel with several guys from ‘Six’ on the team. I can't

wait to get training camp going.”

Van Every played his junior ball with the Junior “B” Six Nations Rebels the Junior “A” Six Nations Arrows. In 2007, he won the Founders Cup with the Rebels and three seasons later he was the top scor-

er in Junior “B” lacrosse.

During the 2009 to 2010 seasons, Van Every appeared in 30 games with the Arrows and notched 30 goals and 24 assists.

Since graduating from the Junior “A” ranks, he has played for a variety of teams in his hometown.

Wayne Van Every.

Six times he finished in the top 10 in scoring, which last included the 2015 season with the Six Nations Rivermen. That year, he posted 47 points in 11 games to finish third in the Senior “B” loop. He went on to lead the President’s Cup tournament in scoring as the Rivermen captured the prestigious trophy.

Van Every will now bring his talents to Rochester as the Knighthawks open training camp this weekend at Total Sports Experience in East Rochester. Over the next five days, he plans on doing everything he can to stay sharp before hitting the turf with the Knighthawks.

“On Tuesday nights, the boys get together and shoot around at the ILA,” he said. “I am going to keep my stick in my hands and (this weekend) I am going to battle for a spot on the left side.”

Six Nations Atoms bomb Waterford Wildcats

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – It didn’t take long to predict what the outcome of the Six Nations versus Waterford in Atom LL play at the Gaylord Powless Arena Saturday afternoon would be. The question was, by how much? The answer came after Memphis McNaughton (great name by the way) scored his third of the game to a 9-1 final score.

Kenneth Porter got things started for Six Nations in the first minute of the game, assisted by Jacob Skye. Carter SkyeBluhm made it a 2-0 game halfway into the period, assisted by Porter. Seconds later, it was 4-0 after Alex Henhawk bagged two quick goals, one unassisted and the other thanks to a great pass from Zander Wythe.

It was more of the same for Waterford in the second period with Wayne Bomberry cashing in from Kayden Hearn to make it 5-0, while McNaughton tallied from

ry, Warren Cook and two from Henhawk, who had a fine game.

FSIN chief backs banishment to protect children The Canadian Press

REGINA — The chief of Saskatchewan's Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations says he supports bands that want to exile criminals.

Bobby Cameron, who represents 74 of the province's First Nations, says he backs banishment if it

means getting rid of drug dealers or protecting young people from drugs and alcohol. ``We're talking about some communities here that have drug dealers that are selling to 10-yearold kids. What would you guys do? Honestly. You got a 10-year-old kid that's doing crystal meth. The

next day, they kill themselves. Are you going to let it continue or are you going to banish these drug dealers?'' Cameron said Monday at the provincial legislature. ``Something has to be done.''

Cameron says the RCMP has a big role to play, too, working with chiefs, band

councils and First Nations people who know who the drug dealers are in their communities. ``It's about improving and combating these problems before they escalate to the point where there's full-blown usage of drugs and then suicide happens.''

BACKGROUND Following the Planning and Preliminary Design phase in 2009, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) documenting the provincial transportation needs for Highway 401 and Highway 8 in an area encompassing the Grand River Bridges and King Street Interchange was published for public review and comment, and subsequently cleared to proceed.

This Preliminary Design and Detailed Design Study will be carrying forward a portion of the 2009 EA approved plan, including: • • • •

Widening of the Highway 401 Grand River Bridges (eastbound and westbound); Rehabilitation of the King Street Overpass on Highway 401; Reconfiguration of a portion of the King Street ramp interchange; and Widening of the Highway 401 east and west of the Grand River Bridges to accommodate traffic staging.

This study is also reviewing potential high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and replacing the existing Grand River Bridges as part of the Highway 401 widening.

THE PROCESS This study is subject to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and will be completed in accordance with the Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for a Group ‘B’ project.

A ‘five-year review’ will be undertaken to determine if significant changes to the relevant portions of the 2009 EA approved plan have occurred since the submission of the 2009 TESR. If no significant changes to the relevant portions of the 2009 EA approved plan are identified, this study will proceed to Detailed Design.

Upon completion of the study, a Design and Construction Report (DCR) will be prepared and published for a 30-day public review period.

CONSULTATION AND COMMENTS Consultation / engagement will take place throughout the study with the public, Indigenous peoples, regulatory agencies and municipalities. One Public Information Centre will be held during the Detailed Design phase to provide an opportunity to discuss the study with members of the project team.

BLEED

ished people to help control crime.

Muskoday Chief Austin Bear said his community held a referendum at the end of October and just over 80 per cent of about 180 people who voted supported a banishment law. ``I see that as our membership supporting their leadership, but more importantly ... (they) are concerned about issues in our community with respect to the illicit and illegal trafficking of drugs and how that is impacting on our families, our children and our community,'' Bear said.

Five non-members suspected of dealing such drugs were kicked out, he said.

The law could also apply to someone convicted of murder or a known pedophile, he suggested. ``We're not out on a witch hunt here; however, when the situation arises, we have ways and means of challenging our members who choose to be drug pushers,'' Bear said. ``The outcome for these people may be exclusion or banishment, but it's not an automatic banishment.

Every situation has to be considered ... on its own. ``But it's not by any means an intention to have a blanket banishment or exclusion. There's much more to it than that.''

Other First Nations communities outside of Saskatchewan have also tried banishment.

In 2012, the crime-troubled Samson Cree band in Maskwacis, Alta. _ then known as Hobbema _ voted to give community leaders the power to evict suspected gang members.

Indian and Northern Affairs Canada said in 2009 that Manitoba's Norway House First Nation didn't have the power to enforce a bylaw banishing troublemakers. A government spokeswoman said at the time that the bylaw submitted to the department attempted to regulate activities that were outside the bylaw-making powers of the Indian Act. Bear said the law on Muskoday is stronger than a bylaw and falls under the First Nations Land Management Act.
