WIPCE opening ceremonies moved to Six Nations

By Nahnda Garlow OHSWEKEN – On July 24, close to 3,000 Indigenous educators will gather at Chiefswood Park to celebrate the opening ceremonies of the World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education (WIPCE).

WIPCE is an International Conference that began 30 years ago in Victoria, B.C. The official opening ceremonies were originally scheduled to be hosted in Toronto, however due to flooding at the city’s waterfront the ceremonies have now been moved to Six Nations.

WIPCE 2017 is expected to attract more than 3,000 visitors from around the world. Among the visitors will also be highly regarded experts and scholars in the field of Indigenous Education.

As part of the welcoming, members of the Haudenosaunee traditional community will

The official opening ceremonies for the 2017 World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education will be held at Chiefswood Park on Six Nations later this month. The 30-year-old conference is expected to draw over 3,000 indigenous scholars, experts, traditional knowledge keepers and guests to discuss indigenous education initiatives taking place around the world. The last conference, the opening ceremonies pictured above, were held in Hawaii in 2014. SUBMITTED PHOTO host a welcoming ceremony inviting guests to the territory.

Rick Hill, a Haudenosaunee historian and Advisor for the Bundled Arrows Initiative says the ceremony will be an extraordinary event.

“The Haudenosaunee, one of the oldest continuously operating traditional governments will be welcoming Indigenous people from around the world. The Chiefs of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and

Tuscarora will call upon their ancient tradition of greeting visitors to our land. It will be beautiful and quite moving.”

During the greeting, the Haudenosaunee officials will metaphorically wipe away any tears the

visitors may have from the grief that comes from the passing of a loved one so that hope can be restored; clear the ears so that good words can be heard; and clear the throat so that the visitor will be able to speak clearly. This ensures that there will be good communication between host and visitor and that the visitors will be clear-minded and not allow lingering trauma to interfere with a good exchange of ideas.

Indigenous representatives working in education are headed to the conference from across the world including members of the Sami, Ainu, Maori and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Six Nations and TAP Resources are the hosts to this year’s conference, being held July 24-28 at various locations across the community and in Toronto. Discussions will centre around indigenous initiatives in education worldwide.

WIPCE 2017 is expected to have a tremendous economic impact on the city of Toronto with visitor expenditures projected to be over $8.5 million Rebecca Jamieson, president and CEO at Six Nations Polytechnic says “the WIPCE conference continues to lead the discussion on contemporary movements in education that support Indigenous worldviews. The opening ceremonies provide a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the public to participate in an international Indigenous cultural and knowledge exchange. Everyone is welcome to attend.”

Anyone from Six Nations interested in attending the conference can register online at w w w.w i p c e 2 0 17. c o m with daily transportation from Six Nations to conference events in Toronto.

To register for transportation registrants can call Six Nations Polytechnic at 519-445-0023.

Kaha:wi Dance Theatre brings the Indigenous world together

By Jim Windle with notes TORONTO — Kaha:wi Dance Theatre is launching its new international Indigenous Performing Arts Festival, Living Ritual, July 25 to 27 at Harbourfront Centre’s Fleck Dance Theatre on the harbour front in Toronto.

The event is produced

by Kaha:wi Dance Theatre (pronounced Ga-HA-Wee), one of Canada’s leading performing arts companies.

The festival creates space for Indigenous artists, arts and culture enthusiasts, and both local and global delegates from across Turtle Island (Canada, United States), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia to gather, network, perform, celebrate, promote and dialogue about Indigenous artistic practice.

The vision for the project is that of Dora Mavor Moore Award and recent REVEAL Indigenous Arts Award-winning Artistic Director Santee Smith, and Artistic Producer, Curator and Festival Executive Producer Cynthia Lick-

Privileging Indigenous performance, the festival presents a wide array of works through powerful contemporary and experimental works, crafted from Indigenous methodology, voice and body, uniting past, present and future dance and theatre practices.

At a time when many colonizing structures are openly being called into question, Living Ritual also offers an honest public forum to dialogue on decolonial processes and push button issues, discuss global issues in Indigenous per-

formance, and engage in professional development, while promoting artistic cross-pollination and inter-cultural collaborations.

Living Ritual takes place on the ancestral territory of the Onkwehon:we, Anishaanbe and Huron-Wendat and acknowledges the spirits of the ancestors, animals and the land in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty lands and open a space to honour our interconnectivity and interdependence.

Living Ritual gratefully acknowledges the sponsorship of the Ontario 150, Harbourfront Centre, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, KM Hunter Foundation, and New Chapter Fund by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Living Ritual is one of 200 exceptional projects funded through the Canada Council for the Arts’ New Chapter initiative. With this $35 million initiative, the council supports the creation and sharing of the arts in communities across Canada.

“Living Ritual carves out space for artists and audiences to be creative, share and connect, passing on knowledge in the most exciting and transformative ways,” says Smith, who earlier this year took her first-ever trip to Nunavut, while touring her critically-acclaimed NeoIndigenA performance piece across the United States, northwestern Canada and New Zealand.

“It's all about placing artists at the centre, from which springs forth conversation, understanding and connection. This festival also speaks to the pow-

world,” says Smith. “It’s a way to share our commonality and our differences using our own way of telling our own stories, on a global platform.”

Smith’s daughter Semiah, a member of the Two Row Times newspaper design team, often works behind the scenes with event organizing, graphic design and many other necessary back stage duties, but this time, she will be also a part of the event herself.

Like her mother, Semiah is multi-gifted and will perform with her traditional singing group during the opening ceremonies.

The festival opens up with an Onkwehon:we Edge of the Woods Welcome Ceremony as part of its daytime programming which includes: Provocation Addresses, panel discussions, Embodied Sharing (Master Classes) and Performative Lectures.

Health and Wellness Expo at Polytechnic

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – More than 200 visitors cycled through the second annual Health and Wellness Expo hosted by Willy's World at the Six Nations Polytechnic on Thursday, July 6.

Guests saw medical product demonstrations and also heard from agency representatives for funding options.

Robin Maracle, sales and marketing manager, said the event turnout was “great”.

“We had twice as many people as last year,” said Maracle. “We're very proud to have all of our manufacturers here.”

Some of the exhibitors were — Invacare, VGM Group Services, Six Nations Health Services, Sunrise, Permobile, March of Dimes, Dreamcatcher Foundation, Screen for Life Cancer Screening bus, as well as wheelchair accessible vans and walk-in tubs.

“We're gonna hold this again next year, and every year it'll get bigger and better,” she said.

John Vincent, Willy’s World consultant, said that last year's expo was a “big success” as well.

“But this is even big-

ger,” said Vincent. “We have more suppliers, we have three funding agencies as guest speakers, we have people here with $50,000 wheelchairs, we have people with aids to daily living, and we also turned it into more of a festival this year.”

The festival aspects came in the form of the performance by Bits of Blugrass, a free barbecue, bingo, and several raffle draws.

Vincent said that the event is also open to anyone and everyone, and the event turned out better than he expected.

“We invite everybody, it's not [just for people that] are disabled,” he said. “It went way better than I thought it was going to and I thought it was going to be good, so I only wait for next year to see what will happen then.”

One of the things that the expo addresses head on is the fact that not many are aware of the offered products, services or the funding options. Vincent explained that the Dreamcatcher Foundation helps many with the cost of medical equipment, and just recently the March of Dimes donated $12,000

towards a porch lift to one of the residents within the Six Nations community.

“People are not aware of the fact that these products are there to begin with and also that there are agencies that are there to help pay for them.

So they have just done without,” he said.

Vincent said that this is why the expo is very important.

The event was well received attendants, and the hope that the offered products, services and funding options will grow to be more known within the community.

OPINION Forced Settlements EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW

A National Post poll claims that 71 per cent of Canadians are upset over the Omar Khadr settlement.

Never mind they were losing a court case that could have cost Canadian tax-payers at least $20 million or more. These Canadians are really jealous over that settlement money.

Those surveyed wanted to leave it to the courts just as Stephen Harper did time and time again costing both Canadian parties $120 million in the process of fighting against basic human rights. Not a great cause.

Trudeau is no better!

He is currently fighting in courts against indigenous children, so if you are a liberal don’t get too smug.

Waging war on the rights of children is bad enough but waging war on children themselves is even worse.

First of all, Khadr was a child soldier but was treated as an adult prisoner. He was kidnapped by American soldiers and taken to Guantanamo Bay at the age of 16 where he spent 10 years engaged in psychological warfare with military and intelligence agencies — alone.

The Executive Director of UNICEF and former U.S. national security adviser was very critical of Khadrs treatment and prosecution.

“The recruitment and use of children in hostilities is a war crime, and those who are responsible — the adult recruiters — should be prosecuted. The children involved are victims, acting under coercion,” said direc-

tor Anthony Lake.

So it should have been Omar Khadrs’ father on trial as a war criminal, instead the colonial agencies convicted and punished a child who was defending the land of his own people.

Disgusting.

Now 71 per cent of Canadians, that is 25 million people, are against the settlement. Does this mean they are in favour of the apprehension and forcible removal of children from their homeland? Does this sound familiar?

Eleanor Pearl Esquimaux received the “Common Experience Payment” of $28 thousand for the 12 years she suffered at Sault Ste. Marie’s Shinqwauk Child Prison, better known by Canadians as residential school. We could suppose that 71 per cent of Canadians and 91 per cent of conservatives are against that settlement as well.

These residential schools were each its own Guantanamo with little oversight and zero accountability.

Thousands of war crimes were committed by perpetrators sanctioned by the Canadian government and who may never be tried in an international court the way Khadr was. @ArarMaher said it best when he tweeted, “Omar Khadr was first abused by his family. Then by the American government.

Then by the Canadian government. And now by bigots and racists.”

We can’t agree more.

Write us what you think.

STEAM Program presented to SNEC

By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEAM) may be included in a program at Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) this coming fall.

Rebecca Jamieson, president and CEO of SNP presented the idea to Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) at the general council meeting Tuesday, July 11.

“The STEAM Academy is a Grade 9 to 14 school,” said Jamieson. “So, if a student finishes at STEAM Academy they will have

Ontario Public Service workers reconcile

TORONTO — The Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation has entered an agreement with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union to work together on justice for First Nations.

The partnership recognizes the sovereignty and treaty rights of all First Nations communities, and pledges to uphold all of the 94 calls to action released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Currently the OPSEU has an indigenous mobilization team working towards helping Sixties Scoop survivors, helping with the upcoming World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education and pursuing the federal government to declare Aboriginal Day a national holiday.

a Grade 12 diploma and they will have a two-year IT technician diploma.”

This makes the program very valuable to many students within Six Nations, as Jamieson pointed out that the high school graduation rate for indigenous students has been declining.

Jamieson brought the program before council seeking support in overcoming policy issues that the SNP is facing with regards to funding.

“We've come across some policy issues that are outlined in the briefing for council,” she said.

“Where we're running into an issue is with our students that are out of territory or off-reserve.”

Jamieson explained that there are now 31 students registered, and she would like to propose funding for the status students that are living off-reserve because the policy prevents funding.

“When it comes to element a r y/se conda r y school, if they technically live off the territory or off-reserve then we come into and issue,” she said.

“We went to Indian Affairs to see if we could get our students funded, they

advised us to talk to the Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB) to negotiate a reverse-tuition agreement.”

But the GEDSB wasn't open to negotiation, which brought Jamieson to come before the elected council. The second issue Jamieson brought forward was the location that STEAM Academy will be housed in.

“This issue falls with an INAC policy,” she said.

“They were telling us that they consider us an off-reserve school even though CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Province fighting Police idenman, 54, rabies in wildlife tify killed in crash

TORONTO — Ontario is taking action to try and control rabies in the province.

Officials say aircraft will drop rabies vaccine baits across Eastern and Southern Ontario this August — including the Stratford, Hamilton and Niagara Peninsula areas.

The aerial drops primarily target rural or forested areas and aim to prevent the spread and inoculate the local wildlife pop-

ulations.

Ground crews will also work through the summer and into the late fall to handdrop baits in urban areas and cities throughout the raccoon rabies control zone, which includes Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford, Toronto, Kitchener and Niagara Falls.

The flavoured baits immunize most skunks, foxes and raccoons that eat them.

Volume 4, Issue 49

BRANT — Police have identified a 54-year-old man killed in a single-vehicle crash in Brant County.

Investigators say a pickup truck rolled over (on St. George Street) around 6:30 p.m. Sunday and ended up in a ditch.

They say the driver, Gregory Ashworth of Brantford, was ejected from the truck.

He later died in hospital.

No one else was in the truck.

Police say they are still looking into what caused the crash.

Grassy Narrows stands up for Mother Earth We all pay for allowing environmental devastation in service of profits. The Anishinabek at Grassy Narrows are paying for it with their lives.

By Paula Hill, Public Engagement Specialist, David Suzuki Foundation I was honoured to be a part of the David Suzuki Foundation team that attended Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek Grassy Narrows First Nation territory on June 28, 2017, the day after the provincial government committed $85 million to clean up mercury contamination in Grassy’s Wabigoon River.

As we drove into the community, I was humbled and awed by its majestic beauty. The trees stood tall and proud all around, like ancient, powerful ancestors welcoming us into their territory.

I felt small and insignificant, convinced that the fight at Grassy Narrows is a spiritual mission, not an environmental undertaking.

The community heard of the $85 million commitment prior to our arrival. But they were guarded. They’d heard empty promises before.

I chatted with locals gathered to see David Suzuki. They told of the community’s aspiration

Steve Fobister (left) lives with the devastating impact of mercury poising and is acknowledged by Grassy Narrows residents as a leader and advocate for the remediation of the mercury-poisoned water in Wabigoon River. Christine Pahpasay (right) brought her daughter's newborn kittens to the community hall to ask David Suzuki if the birth defects these kittens suffered could be from mercury poisoning. SUBMITTED PHOTO to open a birthing centre, and how the project faced insurmountable barriers — the ongoing water issues and concerns for the health of the women and infants who would use the service. They said their traditional language is alive and well in the community. Any First Nations person, myself included, would interpret that to mean that the Grassy Narrows people have a strong foundation to support their community for whatever perils lie ahead.

Their resilience, hope and love for their people, their

community and the land was evident in every conversation.

In his brief speech, David Suzuki recognized the Ontario Liberals’ announcement of $85 million to clean up mercury contamination that’s been a serious environmental issue for this small community since the 1960s. He praised the people for their commitment to a respectful relationship with the land and acknowledged the interconnectedness of all life on Mother Earth.

It’s hard to fathom

what can be done with that much money. Grassy Narrows members want a centre dedicated to healing their people. They want information on the science — how the waters will be cleaned has never been shared with them. English is not many locals’ first language, so communications can’t be in technical jargon. They want information that everyone can understand.

When community members spoke of the impact environmental degradation has had on their entire way of life, my

heart ached. Those who faced neurological disturbances from mercury poisoning seemed to accept their fate — that disability and an early death may be pending. Yet they did not focus on themselves.

Their concerns focused on how losing their traditional lifestyle of hunting and fishing erodes the fabric of their Anishinabek society. They worry not only that humans, the river and the fish are sick, but that wildlife are also sick and disappearing at alarming rates. The $85 million might clean up the river, but they wonder what will heal wildlife suffering habitat loss from persistent logging and the ongoing issue of contamination.

They asked David Suzuki if mercury could poison the plants and trees.

These questions and comments instilled both utter sadness and tremendous Indigenous pride in me. These are good Anishinabek people, who worry equally about the lives of bears, moose and caribou as they do for their children and grandchildren. That’s what connection to the land looks like. That’s what sets In-

digenous people apart from the mainstream notion of economic prosperity as a tantamount concern. To understand the interconnectedness that exists within nature requires caring as much about the lives of our furry, four-legged and feathered relatives as we do for people.

After the school’s graduation dinner, our night ended with traditional teachings around a sacred fire. We laughed and told stories. During his Grassy Narrows fishing excursion, David Suzuki caught a 90-pound sturgeon, which thrilled some of the locals. The sturgeon is a clan for the Grassy Narrow Anishinabek people, one said to embody leadership skills. Some elders and other locals believed that the sturgeon, seldom seen in local waters anymore, showed itself to David Suzuki for a reason. They saw this as a spiritual message that the fight was not futile and that prayers for the water were being answered. Overall, it was a great day.

$5,000 Reward for info on death SIX NATIONS — Family members of a man who was shot and killed on Six Nations say they are now offering a $5000 reward for information in his death.

Posters and images of 27 year old Dustin Monture were distributed across social media over the weekend, offering the cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his death.

Monture was shot and killed on February 21st.

He was initially taken to a hospital in Hagersville with unknown head injuries and later transferred by airlift to Hamilton where doctors discovered he’d been shot in the head.

Six Nations Police have not released any updates into that investigation.

Ancient Tuscarora Remedies: Part 2

By Jim Windle

TURTLE ISLAND – Sometime before 1888, an aged Tuscarora shaman, who went by the English name Joseph Williams, was interviewed about ancient remedies of the Tuscarora for a wide range of ailments.

The handwritten manuscripts from that interview were translated from the Tuscarora language, collected by J.N.B. Hewitt and filed with the Bureau of American Eth-

nology Catalogue of Manuscripts under number 435 — Iroquois, in the year 1888. There were 31 remedies for various diseases handwritten on 15, 8x12 pages.

We publish these traditional remedies for historical interest only and do not in any way endorse or promote these remedies as safe for use today.

There is a lot more unknown than known about the plants named in this following remedy. Since the document was hand

written, the spellings of some of the ingredients could be wrong.

North American Indigenous Games coming to Six Nations with eyes on lacrosse

By Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS — The Toronto 2017 North American Indigenous Games launches this year with a heavy focus on lacrosse.

For the first time in its 25 year history, women’s box lacrosse is set to make its debut at the games with teams representing six provinces across Canada.

Six Nations Cody Jamieson is serving as one

of Toronto 2017 NAIG Ambassadors and says “Lacrosse is a gift from the creator, a ‘medicine’ used to drive away sickness and create positive energy. It is a sport that teaches athletes the value of community and teamwork, of working together for the greater good.

Lacrosse, and sport in general, provides youth an opportunity to release tension and stress and replace negative energy

with the positive benefits of participating in a team sport that has such an important place in Indigenous culture.”

Three venues across Haudenosaunee territory — Six Nations’ Gaylord Powless Arena & Iroquois Lacrosse Arena and Hamilton’s Harry Howell Arena — will be hosting the Toronto 2017 NAIG lacrosse competitions from CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

New five unit three-bedroom townhouse available 2018 Submitted article SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust (EDT) is proud to announce that 2017 Community Investment Funds have now been allocated.

On February 13, the EDT announced it had slated $1.5 million for Community Investment in 2017. The EDT received six complete applications, from which they approved three for a total investment of $43,050. It was announced on May 26, that remaining funds would be deferred to 2018. Since that statement, Six Nations Public Works approached the EDT, by way of written proposal on June 9, to utilize the remaining 2017 funds for a time sensitive infrastructure project to service a 95-unit housing development on Fourth Line.

Subsequently, on June 28, with the full support of the Advisory Committee, the EDT approved the Community Investment request, in the amount of $1.4 million.

This investment will enable Six Nations Housing to secure $1.42 million in funding offered by the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corpora-

tion (CHMC) to build a five-unit, three-bedroom townhouse, estimated to be completed by early 2018. “We were in a situation where Housing had secured funds to build a five-unit townhouse as the first phase of a future housing development but we didn’t have the funds to get the road and utilities to it, this was a major issue and could have stopped any construction altogether” said Director of Public Works Michael Montour.

The Community Investment by the EDT, will be used to service not only the five-unit development with roads, water, sewage and hydro, but will also provide infrastructure for all 95 units planned in the development, which includes a 20 unit seniors building, as well as the future site of the Six Nations Public Library and Archival Repository.

“There are over 1,000 families on our waiting list for housing, the completion of this project is a step towards addressing the housing challenges facing our community,” said Karen Bomberry, director of Six Nations Housing.

The EDT and the Advisory Committee recognized that Public

Works had responded to the EDT’s 2016 request for Letters of Intent for Infrastructure Development, in which the 95-unit housing project was included. “The AC supports the EDT in the opportunity to assist in addressing the critical issue of housing, and by necessity, infrastructure at Six Nations, both of which are priority issues within the Six Nations Community Plan,” said Hilary Visheau, Chair of the Advisory Committee.

In regards to the 2017 call for applications process, Rachel Martin, Chair of the EDT stated, “The Trust acknowledges that it may be necessary, in some instances, to become more fluid in our process thereby allowing us to become proactively responsive to the changing landscape of external funding opportunities which present themselves at Six Nations”.

The EDT are looking forward to working with the approved applicants to generate a direct community impact through all four projects.

weekend, so everywhere in Kenora, I saw Canada 150 birthday advertising.

One sign in particular caught my eye: “#Stand Up for Canada.” What does that mean in 2017?

What is Canada without moose, caribou, plentiful forests, ducks, wolves, bears, bees, butterflies, fish, lakes and oceans?

We celebrate and protect Canada’s multiculturalism through policy and law, but maybe it’s time to start celebrating and protecting our biodiversity in a much more meaningful capacity. The fight at Grassy Narrows illustrates a need for a paradigm shift, one that sees all people living in

Canada learning to value all life on Mother Earth as much as we value human life. The living things that collectively constitute the environment must be given proper weight in all our considerations.

I’m grateful for Premier Wynne’s commitment to support Grassy Narrows. But I want to respectfully urge all Canadians to force their provincial and federal governments to act responsibly when making decisions that will impact the environment. This includes provinces issuing licenses to companies, creating short-term employment and knowingly causing long-term devas-

tation to the geographic regions and resources they’re exploiting. There is no economic value added to our society when corporations are allowed to devastate the environment in an effort to make profit, when in the long run, we all end up paying for the clean-up – in this case, to the tune of $85 million.

We all pay for this short-sightedness. The people at Grassy Narrows are paying for it with their lives. And still, they stand up for Canada, in a way the rest of us can only hope to emulate.

Innu agree to inquiry into treatment Racism toward Indigenous people of children in provincial care rising in Thunder Bay: grand chief ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The Newfoundland and Labrador government and Innu leaders have agreed to an inquiry into the Innu experience in the province's child protection system.

The move follows the death of Thunderheart Tshakapesh, the 16-year-old son of Simeon Tshakapesh, the deputy grand chief of the Innu Nation. He took his own life in May after being treated outside the province for solvent abuse.

Simeon Tshakapesh was among Innu leaders who signed an agreement with Premier Dwight Ball after a meeting on Wednesday. They agreed to come up with terms of reference and inquiry leadership by July 31, 2017.

The inquiry will look at ``the treatment, experiences and outcomes of Innu in the child protection system, and to identify recommendations for

change,'' according to the memorandum of understanding.

The provincial and Innu leaders said they will ask the federal government to participate, with the hope that the inquiry will begin by Sept.

30, 2017.

On Canada Day, Tshakapesh and other Innu leaders confronted federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett at an event in Toronto.

A CBC video shows a tearful Tshakapesh shouting at Bennett, asking her to change a system that sees Innu children routinely removed from their communities for treatment. ``We are going to change it,'' she told Tshakapesh. ``It's unacceptable.''

In an interview last month, Tshakapesh said he wanted funding for a multicultural youth treatment centre to be

built in central Labrador. ``The question for me now is, how did the system fail him so badly and what can be done to change this situation?''

Tshakapesh asked in an open letter. ``He was in the system and he took his life,'' Tshakapesh added in an interview. ``He was damaged physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. He wasn't the same.

He couldn't recover.''

While the removal process may keep vulnerable youth safe and sober, it also destroys connections to their family, language and community, Tshakapesh said.

Leaders and residents in Natuashish, the Innu community relocated from Davis Inlet, met in May after two boys, aged 11 and 17, were injured in a fire at an abandoned house known for gas-sniffing.

The Canadian Press

told reporters Friday as she attended the opening of the Calgary Stampede Indian Village. ``I think we're all impatient. A lot of these people have been fighting for a decade or more for there to be some understanding of the issues from the child welfare system, to racism and sexism and policing — things that the families were telling everybody about and nothing happened.

``Canada's never done anything like this...this is huge.''

The inquiry chaired by Marion Buller, the first female First Nations judge in B.C., was launched last September and is expected to take two years and cost $53.8 million.

It will hold nine community hearings across Canada this fall, amid controversy over the resignation of its executive director and complaints from fam-

The Canadian Press OTTAWA — First Nations leaders met for a second day Thursday to discuss serious concerns about safety of young people in Thunder Bay — a northwestern Ontario city that leads the country in hate crimes reported to police.

The decision to meet with federal and provincial officials was made last month, but recent tragedies have magnified its importance, said Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.

Those include a recent double homicide involving two Indigenous people in Thunder Bay and the death Tuesday of an Indigenous woman who was injured in January when she was hit by a trailer hitch thrown from a moving car. ``This is not the kind of conference that we want to have, but we have to,'' Fiddler said in an interview. ``I think the issues are too

urgent.''

Barbara Kentner, 34, told police she and her sister were walking in a residential neighbourhood when someone threw the heavy chunk of metal from a vehicle. Her sister Melissa said she heard someone in the vehicle say: ``I got one.''

Fiddler also cited last year's Ontario inquest into the deaths of seven First Nations high school students, during which witnesses reported having had objects or racial epithets hurled in their direction. ``That's something I think all of us need to acknowledge ... this is a real problem,'' he said. ``I think that's the only way we can begin to come together and address these issues.''

Last month, amid concerns about local policing expressed by First Nations leaders, Ontario's chief coroner asked an outside police force to help investigate the deaths of two Indigenousteens.

Dr. Dirk Huyer asked York Regional Police to get involved in the investigation of the deaths of 14-year-old Josiah Begg and 17-year-old Tammy Keeash.

In June, Statistics Canada reported that most of the police-reported hate incidents in Thunder Bay targeted Indigenous people, accounting for 29 per cent of all anti-Aboriginal hate crimes across Canada in 2015. ``Young people have told me repeatedly of walking home and having things flung at them out of cars,'' Thunder Bay MP and Liberal cabinet minister Patty Hajdu said following the release of the Statistics Canada report. ``Indigenous women and Indigenous men who have experienced going to a store ... and when they put their hand out to receive change, the storekeeper will purposely not touch their hand.''

ilies about delays and poor communication.

Earlier this week, Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson called for Buller to step down and the inquiry to restart.

She said it's nothing personal against Buller, but she is not someone the families are putting a lot of hope and faith in. North Wilson said she would like to see a chief commissioner who is better known

among grassroots organizations and families.

Buller responded that she had no intention of resigning from the position, saying a national inquiry takes time. ``We started on Sept. 1, four commissioners and myself and a piece of paper, our terms of reference.

In eight months, we hired staff, we opened offices, we put life to our terms of reference and we held our first hearing,'' she said.

``In my view, that's lightning speed.''

Bennett expects two expert roundtables — one on Indigenous law and the other on human rights _ will help develop the inquiry framework moving forward.

She said the announcement about public meetings this fall and meetings with family members concerned about the delay should help alleviate some concerns.

Carolyn Bennett promises Canada will not let down families of MMIW CALGARY — Canada’s minister of Indigenous Affairs says she understands some families of missing and murdered aboriginal women are still frustrated about the pace of a national inquiry.

But Carolyn Bennett promises the government won't let them down. ``We need to keep going — the families are counting on us,'' the minister

Six Nations Rivermen ready for President’s Cup bid

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Rivermen beefed up its lineup this season with even more recognized stars of the game, all with the mandate to return the President’s Cup they lost last season, back to Six Nations in 2017.

This year’s Rivermen are big, experienced, strong on the ball, and determined. They are not the fastest team in the loop, but the experience and savvy this team has on the bench is what has brought 15 wins this season and a plus/minus goal differential of +99.

This week marked the end of the regular season with the Rivermen atop the league heading into Sunday’s finale against the third placed Oakville Titans.

The Ontario Sr. B Lacrosse League regular season came to an end with the Six Nations Rivermen finishing in top spot compliments of a 15-1 record for 30 points, eight more than second place Owen Sound.

Sunday, July 9, the Rivermen tackled the Oakville Titans 14-9, at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre. No less than 10 Rivermen registered multiple points along the way including Greg Longboat’s five-goal outpouring. Josh Johnson (1G,5A), Oakley Thomas (2G,3A), Danton Miller (2G,1A), Jacob Crans (1G,2A), Brock Farmer (1G,1A), Marty Hill (2A), Kyle Smith (1G,1A), Stu

The game stayed close throughout the first period, which opened abruptly with Greg Longboat taking a feed from Josh Johnson for the game’s first goal at the 41-second mark.

Titans Chris Lopes evened the score at 1-1 which was answered with three Rivermen goals

scored by Oakley Thomas, Greg Longboat Jr., and Jacob Crans, who converted a pass from goalie Chase Martin to make it 4-1.

The Titans fought back with the last two goals of the period to cut the Six Nations lead to 4-3. The Rivermen picked up another four goals in the second but Oakville scored three to bring about the two period score of 8-6 for the Rivermen.

Sit-N-Bull Gas & Variety 3783 6th Line, Ohsweken, ON N0A 1M0 (905) 765-2356

The ball just kept rolling in Six Nations favour in the third period with six more goals on Six Nations side of the scoreboard and three more for Oakville for the 14-9 final score.

Saturday night at the Luther Vipond Memorial Arena, the Brooklin Merchants took the loosing end of a 10-4 score. The Rivermen seem poised and ready for the playoffs

to begin, easily taking a 7-1 first period lead which they rode to the end.

Josh Johnson, Stu Hill with three, Rodd Squire, and Kyle Smith also with two, dug a crater the Titans were not able to crawl out of. The Rivermen added two in the second frame, scored by Smith and Hill, and a third period marker by Marcus Elvin carried the R-men to the 10-4 win.

Roger Vyse ended the regular season atop the league goal scorer’s list with 22 and Greg Longboat scored the most short-handed goals this season with four. Chase Martin led all OSBLL goaltenders with 8 wins, and tandem partner Warren Hill recorded the best goa l s-ag a in s t-aver age with 5.00. Martin was third with 6.33.

Pro-Fit Chiefs pushing for first

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – It was an extremely close checking game in Brooklin between the Redmen and the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs which the Chiefs were able to escape with a 8-7, hard played win last Tuesday night, July 4, at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA).

Vaughn Harris scored first from Brodie Merrill and Sid Smith at 2:19, but that only woke up the Redmen who responded with two to overtake the Chiefs 2-1. Dhane Smith and Pat Corbett ended the first period with the ProFit Chiefs up 3-2.

The second period went like the first did with the Chiefs extending their lead to 6-4.

Brooklin unloaded all it had left in the third period after Dhame Smith made it 7-4 at 1:25.

Brooklin’s Ryan Keenan and two goals by Austin Shanks brough the Redmen to the door, but the Chiefs Jordan Durston scored with under a minute left to put an insur-

ance goal behind Brooklin goalie Mike Poulin. It would be needed. Shanks scored his fourth of the game with 12 seconds later to get within one, but the clock played into the Chiefs win as time ran out before Brooklin could even the score and send it to overtime.

Tuesday, July 11, the Pro-Fit Chiefs faced the Brampton Excelsiors at the ILA at 8 p.m. This game missed our deadline for this week but will be included in next week’s issue.

Wednesday night, July 12, the Chiefs and the Redmen clash again, this time in Brooklin, and on Saturday, July 15, the Oakville Rock visit the ILA for an afternoon matinee game at 1 p.m. Then, on Tuesday, July 18, the Cobourg Kodiaks come to Six Nations for an 8 p.m. start.

The Mann Cup Champion Chiefs are in second place, five points behind Peterborough heading into this week’s games, holding two game in hand over the Lakers.

The Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs are inching up on the first place Peterborough Lakers for first place in the Major Series Sr. lacrosse standings.

Five Selected to ACC All-Academic Team By cuse.com

Five members of the Syracuse men's lacrosse team were named to the ACC All-Academic Team on Tuesday, continuing a strong tradition of academic success in the program.

Tyson Bomberry, Jordan Evans, Scott Firman, Austin Fusco and Ben Williams earned the accolade. For Evans, Firman and Williams, it marked multiple times earning the honour since arriving at SU. Evans and Williams were three-time members of the squad, while this was Firman's second selection.

To earn selection to the ACC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA and a 3.0 GPA for the spring 2017 semester. Ath-

letic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the ACC All-Academic Team.

Bomberry, who's majoring in history in the Maxwell School, started all-18 games for the Orange on close defense as a sophomore this season, also chipping in two goals and an assist in the 'Cuse transition game. He also finished the year second on the team with 14 caused turnovers and 40 ground balls.

Evans graduated with a degree in supply chain management and finance from the Martin J. Whitman School. He posted 44 points (19-25) this season, which ranked third on the team. His 25 assists were good for second on the Orange as well. Evans also

led all offensive players with 27 ground balls this season. Since graduation, Evans accepted a position with Goldman Sachs in their Salt Lake City, Utah office.

The All-ACC Academic Team selection was another in a long list of accolades both on and off the field for Firman this season. The senior defenseman – playing in his first year of close defense – was a USILA Second Team All-American, an Inside Lacrosse First Team All-American and All-ACC selection for his on-field performance. The 'Cuse captain was also selected as a Senior CLASS Award All-American and USILA Scholar All-American this season. Firman earned his degree in May in marketing management from the Martin J. Whitman School

of Management and has since been accepted into the University of Vermont's Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program where he will pursue a medical degree and career. A Soladay Award Nominee, Firman led the Orange with 16 caused turnovers in 2017.

Drawing the opponent's top attackman, Firman held his matchup to a full point below their season scoring matchup. Drafted by the New York Lizards with the 43rd overall pick in the 2017 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft, Firman was added to the U.S. Lacrosse Team's tryout pool in preparation for the 2018 FIL World Championship in Netanya, Israel.

Fusco stepped into Firman's role as the team's primary long-stick midfielder this season after

Firman switched to close defense. The redshirt sophomore is majoring in real estate and marketing management in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. Fusco finished the season third on the Orange with 32 ground balls and caused eight turnovers as well.

Williams concluded his career as the most prolific faceoff man in program history, shattering the program's all-time records for faceoffs won (669) and ground balls (340). He's the first Syracuse player to pass the 300 ground balls threshold for his career and finishes fifth all time in career winning percentage, winning over 61 percent at the X. The most impressive, is he set all the records in just three seasons after spending his

freshman season at Holy Cross. Williams, a threetime All-American, twotime Tewaaraton Award Nominee and 2017 All-ACC selection, graduated in May with his degree in finance and accounting from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

During his senior year, Williams created a company called X-Factor Lacrosse alongside teammates Joe DeMarco and Dom Madonna, with the project initially including Firman and two other members of the Whitman school as well.

Williams and his group won the Panasci Business Plan Competition, which comes along with funding for the company. The group also placed third in the Whitman School Senior Capstone Project this year.

Battle of the Warriors begins

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – After easily turning away the Caledon Bandits, 19-6 and 16-3, in round one of the OJCLL playoffs, the Six Nations Warriors and the Brantford Warriors now do battle in the semi-finals. The Brantford Warriors dispatched the Oakville Buzz in two straight of their best-of-three series.

The battle of the Warriors began at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena Sunday night and not as the Six Nations version wanted. Brantford finished the regular season in fourth place, 10 points behind the league leading Six Nations Warriors, but on this given Sunday, Brantford took Game 1, of the best of five series, 11-10 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA).

Six Nations notched the first four goals of the game beginning with Jaxon Martin’s first of the game scored 30 seconds into the game.

That was followed by Tehashitchele Powless, Todd Thomas Jr., and Daris Anderson.

Brantford began the comeback at 12:09 with Sam Gower scoring from Ty Argent, and Caleb Wells from Argent and Michael Comeau to end the first period with Six Nations leading 4-2.

Brantford’s Connor Gillis and Jayden Drage, and the score was 9-7 for Six Nations.

Nathan Maracle added another Six Nations goal at 8:08 and with the score it looked like Six Nations was about to take the first game of the series. But Brantford had something to say about that.

Digging deep, Brantford slowly started pecking away at the Six Nations 10-7 lead with 10 minutes left to play.

Caleb Wells made it 10-8 and Ryan Dorr scored to bring Brantford to within one of Six

Nations at 10-9. And they were not finished. Angus Hunter tied the game at 101-10 at 13:13 and Austin Giles scored the game winner, unassisted, with two seconds left of the clock or the 11-10 win.

Game 2 is set for Wednesday night, July 12, at the Wayne Gretzky Main Rink in Brantford at 8 p.m., with Game 3 back at the Caledonia Arena the next night, Thursday, July 13 at 8 p.m. Game 4 is back at the Gretzky Rink, Saturday, July 15 at 7 p.m.

A rare loss

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – The league leading Six Nations Arrows ended their regular season last Thursday, July 6, with a rare loss, only the second of the season.

The 10-9 loss against the eighth place Toronto Beaches hopes to shake some slack out of the Arrows as they get ready for the play-off season.

The Beaches held a 2-0 lead until 16:40 when Jamie Dilks brought the Arrows into the game at 16:40. Toronto scored two quick ones early in the second period to take at 4-1 lead. Tehoka Nanticoke cut the Toronto lead to 4-2 from Travis Longboat, but Josh Dawick opened a 5-2 lead at the halfway point in the pe-

riod.

The second period ended with a flurry of goal scoring action as Cody Ward, Cory Lucier went to work. Ward scored two to steal back the lead. Two Toronto goals scored in 16 seconds apart, late in the second period gave the Beaches a 7-5 lead after 40 minutes of play.

Jones scored two and Longboat and Nanticoke in the third but it would not be enough as the Beaches held on for the 10-9 final score.

Despite the loss, the Arrows finished first in the regular season with an 18-2-0 record with Brampton next, eight points behind.

The Arrows await their playoff matchup as the OLA closed out its regular season schedule.

Rebels find little resistance so far

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – After sweeping away the Point Edward Paces in round one of the OLA Jr. B playoffs, the Six Nations Rebels continued its quest for the 2017 Founders Cup by taming the Hamilton Bengals 13-6 in Game 1 of the best-of-five series, Friday night at the ILA. The Rebels toyed with the Bengals in the first period of Friday night, probing the Hamilton defense and watching closely what the Bengals were bringing to the floor. Tanner Benneke opened the series for Hamilton before Wake:Rait Bowhunter and Chayton King made it 2-1 for Six Nations. Ty Argent and Sam English wrestled the lead back but Bo Pentier and Daylen Hill turned in the last two goal of the period.

With the score 4-3 for Six Nations, the Rebels unleashed the power scoring eight times in the second to build a 12-4 lead with goals scored by Bowhunter, Owen-Hill, Wes Whitlow, Gates Abrams, Peltier and three by Layne Smith.

With the game well in hand, the Rebels coasted in the third period with Josh Miller adding the final Six Nations’ goal. Although understandable in a blow out game, coach Miles General is not pleased with his team’s inconsistency from period to period.

Like I’ve been saying all

season, the Six Nation Rebels only have one enemy to worry about, and that is the Six Nations Rebels.

“Our inability to play three full periods that has me a bit concerned,” says General. “That is going to hurt us in the playoffs if we can’t fix that”.

He believes that it’s the little things the Rebels are not doing against the lesser teams that could develop into bad habits if they let it.

General is pleased with how the lesser lights have begun to shine. It’s easy to talk about Layne Smith who is a virtual scoring machine, and the surging Chayton King who has found his range with 12 goals and eight assists in four playoff games so far.

But it’s the guys that are getting the loose balls, or making that important pick to free Smith and King and others that he watches for.

Layne Smith has been a workhorse around the goal and he is doing exactly what I want him to do,” says General. “He’s a goal-scorer and I want him to be scoring goals.”

From the beginning of the season, General had two goals for his team, outside of winning the Cup of course.

“I know we have the offence, and that will look after itself,” says General.

“But my goal has been to keep the opponents to single digits, and that is a 20

Six Nations Rebels goal scorer Layne Smith is filling the exact role coach Miles General is asking of him. "He's a goal-scorer and I want him to be scoring goals," he says. Smith does a little victory dance after scoring while his proud dad, Jay Smith, coach of the Six Nations Jr. C Warriors helps celebrate from behind the glass. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

man, team effort. We’ve got 10 forwards and if they can get only one goal each, we should win every game.”

That formula has worked will for the Rebels all season, who have won all but one game in the regular season and are undefeated in the playoffs, to date.

In blowout games, he admits that staying fo-

cused can be hard for the players to stay motivated, but he is still pushing for every man to mentally stay in the game for a full 60 minutes.

The series shifted to the Dave Andreychuk Arena on the Hamilton Mountain for Game 2 of the series before returning to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena for Game 3, Friday, July 14.

She explained that due to this, INAC refused to pay for various things that would be of benefit to the program even though SNP is located in the heart of Six Nations.

“We're here to ask for your support, and for your strong support in a meeting with Mr. Bennett (INAC) to absolve these issues for this year,” she said. “We've also met with the premier and she and her various ministries are looking into a solution for the following fiscal.”
