It was like déjà vu on Argyle Street in Caledonia Friday morning when Six Nations protesters reacted to a promise reneged upon by former Premier David Peterson who negotiated the 2006 barricades down. He offered the former Burtch Correctional lands in exchange for the removal of barricades from Highway 6. It was the Confederacy`s understanding that the land would come back under the Haldimand Proclamation, but instead, it was transferred to the Elected Council and not the Confederacy and registered under Ontario Realty. This prompted new protests on Argyle Street. As of Tuesday, the barricades were still up. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE PM42686517

GREAT to celebrate 25 years ATM stolen of helping community from bank

By Jayson Koblun

OHSWEKEN – Managing directors Laurie Froman and Erin Monture, along with their staff, are in full-swing preparing for Grand River Employment and Training’s (GREAT) 25th anniversary celebration set for Friday August 25.

Froman, director of employment and training, and Monture, director of business operations, have been with the company for several years and complement each others’ skillsets perfectly as they oversee the organization and help members of the community train for school and employment.

“We call each other ‘Shake and Bake’,” said Monture. “I’m Shake and she’s Bake said Froman; we each do different things and really rely on one another to be successful.”

GREAT is a community-based not-for-profit organization specializing in employment and training for Onkwehon:we of Six Nations, but also serves

any Ontarian seeking training.

“Any Ontarian looking for work can come to GREAT and use our services,” said Froman.

“GREAT is for any individual in Ontario, any age, gender, or background seeking training for school or employment.”

Established in 1992, GREAT provides funded training, career services, apprenticeship programming, and more for the community. Its slogan is “Opening doors to Our People”, and it expresses GREAT’s philosophy to help community members attain their personal growth and reach success, however each of their individual successes may look.

“We partner with Service Canada, and a lot of our funding comes from them,” said Monture.

“They tell us every year how many individuals our team here at GREAT needs to see return to school or find employment — and that’s how they measure our success or how well our team is doing.”

Laurie Froman is the director of employment and training at Grand River Employment and Training and is seen above by a banner during the celebrations of GREAT's 20th anniversary. She began work at GREAT 14 years ago as a career resource technician and with the help of GREAT returned to school to earn a degree in Public Administration and Governance from Ryerson University. She worked very hard to become a director. SUBMITTED PHOTO Monture and Froman both agree that success is much more than simply re-entering and finishing school, or finding employment. And they hope one day to be able to show Service Canada that an individual’s personal growth is sometimes more important than simply being another “tick-box” to

The 2016 to 2017 Ontario Queen of the Furrow, Anita Rastapkevicius, and Victoria Kyle, the 2016 to 2017 Brant/Six Nations Queen of the Furrow, were mixing with the farmers and competitors at the Brant/Six Nations Match held this year at the Telfor Farm on Watts Pond Road, just north of Paris.

By Jim Windle PARIS – A century of farming was celebrated at the 100th anniversary of the Brant/Six Nations Plowman’s Association plowing match held under beautiful skies on Saturday at the Telfor Farm on Watts Pond Road, just north of Paris.

The 2016 to 2017 Ontario Queen of the Furrow, Anita Rastapkevicius, was on hand greeting guests and competitors along with Victoria Kyle, the 2016 to 2017 Brant/Six Nations Queen of the Furrow.

“I got involved with my local [Elgin County] Plowmen’s Association four years ago at our local match,” says Anita. “Last year as a wrap-up to the season, I got to compete at the International Plowing Match.”

There are a number of elements considered when choosing an International Queen of the Furrow. She is chosen from local winners and after the field is cut down to five competitors. A final questions and answer phase and judgment based on demeanour and ability to give a concise

and interesting speech boils it all down to one Queen, this year being Anita Rastapkevicius.

“It’s a great way to travel throughout the province,” she says. “It is such an honour.”

In an age when family farming is on the decline due to huge corporate farming and many young people leaving the farm, it was encouraging to see so many young people at the match, both watching and competing.

Each year, 25 and 50 competitors participate in old time plowing skills using traditional horse

drawn plows as well as with tractors, many of them vintage. The venue alternates between a farm in Brant and one at Six Nations.

The tradition goes very deep at Six Nations.

The Six Nations Plowmen's Association began in 1863 and remains in conjunction with the Canada’s oldest continuously run Fall Fair, at the Six Nations Fair grounds.

The Brant Plowmen’s Association goes back to 1917 with much co-operation between the two chapters, which still exists today.

Alligator in Hamilton Coffee said to extend life backyard party HAMILTON — A couple’s 25th Anniversary party in Hamilton entered crisis mode this week after the discovery of a live alligator.

Walter Ertsinian says he was in his backyard setting out plates for the party when his daughters discovered

the 1.5 meter long reptile swimming in the pool.

The family quickly called police and were directed to contact animal control services.

Officials say it is not known how the alligator came to be in the area.

NEW YORK — A new study says drinking coffee could lead to a longer life.

The research was conducted on non-white populations and looked at over 185,000 people from the African American, Native American, Hawaiian, Japanese and Latino communities.

Researchers found

people who drank two to four cups of coffee a day had an 18% lower risk of death than those who did not drink coffee.

Studies have shown coffee contains neuroprotective and anti inflammatory compounds that helps reduce the risk of several chronic conditions and illnesses.

OPINION

Who is paying for Argyle?

EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW

Shawn Brant's head tilted to the side and his eyes welled up with tears as he said, "If we cannot protect the women, then we have failed to carry out our responsibility as men."

He so deeply believed in his own statements that on March 8th, 2014, Brant and other Mohawk Warriors of the Bay of Quinte blocked the CN mainline in response to the thousands of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.

They ended up getting arrested.

In a secret CSIS document it was revealed that shutting down the railline that crosses Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory for only a few hours caused "about $100 million in economic damage."

It's no wonder that OPP descended upon the rail blockade pretty quickly and put everyone in jail, Brant included.

Shawn Brant, Matt Doreen, Steve Chartrand and Marc Baille were arrested and charged with various crimes, the biggest of which was standing up for indigenous women.

Traditionally when our people so desperately need help it becomes a matter of life and death. These four guys and others put their lives on the line and paid a heavy cost. Brant to this day is on a CSIS "terrorist" list, and court proceedings revealed his cell phone was tapped (yes, they can do that).

The practice of sacrificing yourself for the greater good must be an ancient Mohawk way. The thing is, when roads are blocked, or rail lines crossed it must be for a righteous cause.

In 2006 in reponse to the brutal early morning raid by the OPP the people of Six Nations put barricades across the road and put out the call to all other territories to help. It was a national emergency, a true crisis.

The hearts of the people soared that day when they saw the Sit-N-Bull trucks arrive in response to OPP action.

A local Mohawk businessman, Ken Hill was instrumental in securing the road and pouring tons of gravel to help the people. He was later charged twice by

the OPP. Everyone got involved, it was unanimous.

Many others were charged and arrested and when their names were announced the people cheered because they were like martyrs.

Argyle Street is blocked again.

This time a small group of individuals are rallying around Kris Hill and the legal struggle she is facing for farming the Burtch Lands. And what does Argyle Street have to do with Burtch Lands you may wonder? Well it all goes back to the "Peterson Promise" of 2006.

Ontario sent in crack negotiator David Peterson, who promised to return Burtch Lands to Six Nations if they took down the barricades. See the stories on pages 8-9 for more on that.

Ontario did sent a letter to the HCCC about the Burtch Lands that was read July 8th 2015 and I was even there at the meeting and so was Kris Hill (then Green). They didn't even respond to that letter and maybe if they did Six Nations wouldn't be in this current mess.

It was procrastinated for three months until the deadline.

Not everyone is supporting the new protest. As a matter of fact, most are probably against it. It's partly because the people do not trust each other. On social media some say it should be somewhere else, like Cockshutt Road this time.

Instead of tugging at the heartstrings of Six Nations by reclaiming the reclamation again, why not block something that will get results instead of ruining the local economy and making things harder for people on 6th line. Or better yet if you are protesting against Band Council why not protest at the door's of Band Council?

Who is paying the cost for the new protest? Will it be Kris Hill or the protestors themselves? Or will it be the children when they start high school at McKinnon Park this year?

History shows if it is a righteous cause the Mohawk Warriors will be there.

We have to think bigger Mik Sandy posted her opinion about the blockade on Argyle Street in the morning of Sunday, August 13. Sandy is a graduated high school student from Hagersville Secondary School and a resident on Six Nations.

To showcase not only her opinion but to also extend it's reach to the hands of the community, she agreed to allow Two Row Times to publish her post.

I cannot put into words how frustrated I am at the fact that the barricade is up in Caledonia once again, on both sides of the spectrum. Although siding with the Confederacy Chiefs at heart, one cannot look past several facts; the provincial & federal governments will never hear

op-ed

what the H.C.C.C. have to say as it was their style of government which forced us into adopting the elected council style governance so many years ago.

That being said, however, I am not one of the people who disregard band council for the sole reason that they are band council, I can understand that if it weren't for them in today's day and age the government would completely overlook us.

Beyond the issues of governance, the blockade has taken away from our own peoples' businesses and daily commutes; how often do you think someone from Hagersville or Jarvis comes down No. 6 Highway just to Caledonia and not Hamilton or fur-

ther on?

The bypass is where the public at large travels, so therefore they are free to continue without an inconvenience. Regardless if the D.C.E. Lands are something that the Haudenosaunee Chiefs would like to negotiate again, after living through the havoc of 2006 & then rebuilding the same roadblock just as Six Nations' ties with our closest neighbouring community were mended, another riff is sent out that only fuels the fire of ignorance.

The fact of the matter is if we are going to gain the attention of Wynne and Trudeau we have to think bigger as blocking off Argyle is merely an inconvenience that stirs the pot.

-Mik Sandy

move the injunction on the Burtch Lands. And to me that sounds like an awful lot of hell raising with our neighbours and businesses on Highway No. 6 and Sixth Line just to remove an injunction that was legally put in place on lands that were questionably passed from HCCC to SNEC near Cockshutt Road.

There was a notice giv-

en by the SNEC to the HCCC Secretary notifying that the Burtch Lands would be transferred to an SNEC corporation that would hold legal title to the land to later be transferred as part of the Six Nations of the Grand River through the Federal Addition to Reserve Process on August of

I don't know about you, but when I hear people say that they're at the blockade for the sake of sovereignty it makes me cringe.

Six Nations of the Grand River: in a state of chaos

By Doug Whitlow, BA First Nations Studies History shows us and historians tell us that hundreds of years ago, the Peacemaker, an emissary from the Great Creator God arrived in Iroquois Country and set about bringing civility to the warring Five Nations of Iroquois.

Eventually the Peacemaker was successful in his quest of stopping the devastating wars, which were ravaging the Five Nations communities.

With the wars over, the Peacemaker and a select group of Iroquois Leaders set about setting up a political union (in the form of the Great Law) among the Iroquoian people that has lasted from the distant past until the recent past when several factions of the now, Six Nations of Iroquois have set the clock back and have returned to their original ways of making war upon each other. The latest of these small skirmishes has to do with two small plots of ground known as, Burtch and the Kanata Village, which several

factions are claiming as their own. Each of these two sites have their own unique set of problems.

The Burtch situation began in 2006 when the Douglas Creek Estates Housing Development (DCE) was brought to a halt by a group of concerned Six Nations community members. There is no need to revisit the DCE incident as most people who were there are still here now with many involved in the Burtch debacle which has severely divided the Six Nations of the Grand River Community. While there are many sides to the Burtch story and just as many political views as to how the situation should be handled; there is one underlying theme which has caused all this trouble and that is; GREED and the quest for the almighty dollar or perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars in this case.

Throughout the course of the past 20 or 30 years, the Six Nations of the Grand River has become one of the main focal points of an increase in the production and sale

of tobacco, which has resulted in many poor Indians rising up and out of the ravages of poverty and into a state of wealth. No one among us here in the Grand River community can deny that the growth, production and sale of tobacco has been a good thing for some people; however, increased wealth usually comes with a high cost which here on the Rez has brought us into a state of high civil tension. By now, most people are aware of what the Burtch property is and what it was until a few short years ago when certain groups began claiming ownership of the few hundred acres of good usable land.

The Iroquois Confederacy Chiefs Council and their supporters are claiming ownership by insisting that since the Chiefs Council was the Original Government in the Haldimand Tract, the Burtch property should be theirs to do with as they please. Some of the Mohawk people and certain others of the Six CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

It’s like ’90 all over again — not

By Thohahoken CALEDONIA – ‘Dead, dying cats and the SPCA’ was the top news story August 10, 2017 on CHCH TV Evening news.

Oh yeah and BTW people from Six Nations were blocking Argyle Street in Caledonia … again.

Yawn.

According to the CHCH news report the protestors blocked the highway by the former Douglas Estates where the Kanonhstaten Standoff took place in 2006. In 2017, Six Nations people said they demanded the return of the Burtch land south of Brantford. Demands include assigning Burtch land to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council of Chief (HCCC), removing Six Nations Band Council from land discussions, and that Canada and Ontario return to the bargaining table.

Six Nations protestors are blocking a road in Caledonia on the northeast side of Six Nations, about Burtch land that

is 18 miles away on the southwest side of Six Nations.

The protest in 2006 was organized by Janie Jamieson and Dawn Smith, when Six Nations’ women disputed the encroachment against Six Nations’ territory by developers of the Douglas Estates subdivision. The people were attacked by the OPP, and the community united to defend them. The result was an occupation that included a near race riot on Bread and Cheese Day, and finally consultation between the HCCC and representatives from Canada and Ontario.

Here’s what happened in the last 10 years. Money was transferred to the HCCC through local government fiscal agents — money funnels. The money was used to create the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) as the new fiscal agent.

People were hired. Deals were made with Samsung and Enbridge. Money was spent. HCCC people were paid. To who and how

much? That’s still not clear to this day.

People asked questions.

Fingers were pointed.

Someone was de-horned.

Or not. Someone was banished. Or not. Someone is backed by big money interests. Or not. It’s all mysterious.

Burtch was once a corrections facility. Jokingly called Six Nations’ local vacation resort for local bad guys, the minimum-security corrections facility closed and sat idle for years. Until HDI began talking about recovering the land for Six Nations’ use, not much thought was given to Burtch.

In 2010 HDI created a job for someone to figure out what to do with Burtch. I applied. Turn it into a recovery and revitalization centre. Fill part of it with solar panels to serve Six Nations, and sell the rest of the electricity to Ontario Hydro. Grow grain and corn crops to produce ethanol. Put people to work.

Caledonia, 10-years-after

Déjà vu on Argyle street

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA — It’s been a little more than 10-years pass since clashes between Caledonia citizens and Six Nations land protectors exploded into a front-page story across the continent and even on the BBC. It must have seemed like déjà vu for commuters expecting to use Highway #6 south of Caledonia. Far too reminiscent barricades closed traffic Friday morning in a protest directed to Ontario and Canada, and maybe the Six Nations Elected Council as well.

The problem is, Caledonia had nothing to do with the current issue and some Two Row Times has spoken to have shown concern that the embers of the hot summer of 2006 could ignite a new flame.

The group initiating the protest invited Six Nations community members to attend Thursday meetings at a play park on Fourth Line, where the decision was made to begin the Highway 6 blockade.

A groundswell of traditional followers of the Great Law began to stir when it was announced that the Burtch Land promised by former Ontario Premier David Pe-

terson in exchange for the removal of barricades in 2006, was given back to Six Nations through the Elected Band Council.

The reason for staging the protest on Highway 6 was simple. Ontario negotiated the removal of the Highway 6, barricades with a promise some believe was not fulfilled in the specific way the agreement was worded. The Burtch land was to be returned to the Haudenosaunee People in the same condition and title it had as part of the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation land.

In stead, 10 years later, it was transferred through the Indian Act government and registered through Ontario Realty which will still hold control, and sacrifice the underlying title many believe was never given up in the first place.

The way it was done will also make the land potentially taxable. Read below for a further explanation of the facts surrounding Burtch, and the reason the new protests have begun as presented by a group of women who initiated the protest.

An OPP spokes person came to the blockade and read a list of violations the protesters are subject to

THE PETERSON PROMISE OF 2006

May 16, 2006 Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy Council RR 2 Ohsweken ON N0A 1M0 Dear Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy Council; Subject: Burtch Lands letter dated 10th May, 2006 As acknowledged by the Honourable David Peterson, Ontario is prepared to return title to the Burtch Lands to the Six Nations People. The land is to be available on an interim basis for the Six Nations people for immediate use while the land rights negotiations continue.

It is imperative that there be an immediate and full environmental review of the land to be carried out by the Province of Ontario.

The title of the Burtch Lands will be included in the land rights process of the Haudenosaunee/Six nations/Canada/Ontario main table. It is the intention that the land title be returned to its original state, its status under the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784.

The OPP was on site to read a statement that we have reprinted here below. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE arrest for, but there was no deadline set at that time.

Read it in its entirety following this article Friday, the OPP blockaded Highway 6, at Sixth Line, to keep the protesters and potentially upset commenters some distance apart in an effort to keep the peace. That tenuous peace still holds as of the writing of this article.

There has been a few curious and concerned Caledonia residents gather at the Canadian Tire OPP road block, but to date, there has not been the size of crowds or the anger experienced 10-years ago, on either side.

The demands of the protesters include: 1. Ontario and Canada return to the Negotiation Table with our Confederacy.

2.

Ontario lives by their words of May 17th, 2006 and returns Burtch Lands under the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784.

3.

Six Nations Band Council withdraws their injunction against Kris Hill and the People of Six Nations.

Media Release: Our Haudenosaunee Declaration In May 2006, the Province of Ontario stated in writ-

ing that the title of Burtch Lands would be returned to its original state and status under The Haldimand Proclamation of 1784. For this our barricades in Caledonia came down in 2006.

The, in April2017, Ontario passes the land, not to our Haudenosaunee Confederacy but to Six Nations Elected Council.

With that action, Ontario has committed fraud and lied to our People. Ontario is 100% responsible for any actions resulting from their lies. Ontario’s actions bring much dishonor to the Crown and is in violation of the Two Row Wampum, the Silver Covenant Chain.

And the William Clause Wampum.

Ontario also grossly violates the July, 2017 Ten Principles that are to guide the government of Canada’s relationship with Indigenous People. Ontario also brings shame on the words spoken by Justice Minister Wilson-Raybould when she stated that First Nations need to prepare for a future where Indian Act Bands are done away with, opening the door to more Traditional Governance.

We as Haudenosaunee people stand with our Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council. The Letter to Premier Wynne and Prime Minister Trudeau emailed

July 2017 states the transfer is invalid and a Breach of Promises and Commitment by the Crown and the Province of Ontario.

OPP Statement:

The OPP respects everyone’s right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, and works to balance this with the public’s right to free and uninhibited passage on highways in the Province of Ontario.

The OPP objective in policing this road closer / blockade is to restore the orderly flow of traffic in the safest manner possible. The OPP has no role to play in the underlying issues and is not in a position to resolve them.

The OPP will act to preserve the peace, maintain public safety, investigate any unlawful activity, and

enforce the law where appropriate. In accordance with the police duties and responsibilities as set out in legislation and the common law.

Open communication, a reasoned, tempered approach and the proper use of police discretion guide OPP response.

The rain poured down on Argyle Street as Six Nations community members met to discuss the future of the blockade erected Friday on Highway 6. Community members have been meeting for several weeks without the specific blessing of either the HCCC or the SNEC. One thing that has been common in al meetings is the need for the two councils to stop fighting and find a compatible way to co-exist. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Decisions over Highway 6 blockade underway

By Jim Windle NOTE This article contains no directly attributed quotes, as a condition of covering the meeting for the TRT. We are happy to comply in this case.

CALEDONIA — About 40-50 Six Nations residents scrambled for shelter under tarps and umbrellas at the former Douglas Creek Estates land when a torrential rainfall threatened to cancel Tuesday’s community meeting regarding the latest barricades on Highway 6.

The discussion was the

same one on the agenda at Monday night’s community members meeting at the Ohsweken Speedway. Tuesday night, the same questions and discussion points were to be addressed at the Elected Council meeting in an attempt to find a people based solution that would bring the divided community together.

The big question of what to do about the blockade that has shut down traffic on Argyle Street just outside of Caledonia, the sight of the 2006 standoff?

The highway has been closed since Friday after members of the Six Na-

tions community dragged a piece of the original blockade from 2006 across Argyle Street.

The rain didn’t last long and the meeting went on as scheduled. There was a lot of reasonable discussion on all sides of the issue behind the protest.

Some saying to leave the blockade up until Canada and Ontario correct the reneging of a 2006 promise that brought down the barricades, as explained elsewhere in this issue.

Others suggested a show of good faith by opening one lane of Highway 6 at the Kanonhstaton (Caledonia) site.

Others talked about

asking the OPP to move it’s blockade from the corner of Sixth Line and Highway Six closer to the Kanonhstaton site to allow traffic for businesses at that end of the Street and access to Sixth Line Road. Some spoke of rotating the protest to the Highway #6 bypass or the railway line as to not disrupt Caledonia’s downtown merchants.

There was also discussion about why the case of Six Nations farmer Kris Hill is a part of the demands being made by the protesters.

An Elected District Councillor told the group that Elected Chief Ava Hill

met before the barricades may come down. The first one being that the injunction set upon farmer Kris Hill to cease farming the Burtch Lands needs to be removed.

Elected Chief Ava Hill was out of town for the otherwise full council meeting, which starting at 6 p.m.; Councillor Bob Johnson was acting chief in Ava’s place. Johnson took what the delegation said as information and said they would convene later to discuss how to respond to the list of demands.

Almost all of the community members in attendance left the room by 6:10 p.m. and the council meeting carried on as usual. A few moments later the group of community members, now larger in size, returned and Miller

interrupted the scheduled meeting. Johnson said that he was welcome to speak and that SNEC would listen but that they would not respond.

“We’re not leaving until we get a response,” said Miller.

Monture then spoke and asked the elected council “Do you even care?” Several councillors said they do, but that the elected system follows a different set of rules and protocol than the confederacy does. And the injunction was placed due to the regulations that the federal system has set in place.

For more than one hour the group spoke to the elected council and shared their opinions. Several councillors responded while some did not.

A community member

said when talking about solutions, “Take away the injunction — we open a lane.”

Another said “Remove the injunction so we can remove the barricades … maybe."

Some of those in attendance said “tension was thick” in the room as the discussion became heated at parts and community members were speaking over councillors and vice versa.

Missy Elliot, a mediator of the situation, was on hand to share her opinion and let SNEC know that all parties involved would appreciate a response and a timeline for the demands to be discussed. She also tried to keep attitudes in the room from escalating.

Nothing more pressing: Bring councils together

By Jayson Koblun OHSWEKEN – One thing is clear when it comes to the barricades on Highway 6 and the disagreement regarding ownership of who has the right to lease the Burtch land; and that is a lot of community members want to see the full traditional and elected governing bodies on Six Nations meet and come to one mind of the matter.

A group of concerned community members, barricade supporters, and those who don’t support the barricades came to last night’s Six Nations Elected Council’s (SNEC) general meeting on August 15. Lindsay Monture, accompanied by Wesley Miller, read a list of three demands she said the protestors said need to be

was in Ottawa and will not be in attendance at Tuesday’s general meeting. In the discussions it came out that Chief Hill was in Ottawa meeting with Ken Hewitt and Ontario in Ottawa. She was also meeting with lawyers regarding the recently filed injunction against Kris Hill.

One of the demands being made is that SNEC drop its injunction and in turn Hill drop her legal action against Band Council. Some felt that the Hill case should be a separate issue.

The speeches and opinions were strong and deeply entrenched but re-

mained respectful.

The immediate decision was that the barricade will remain in place until at least after Tuesday night’s Elected Council Meeting.

The people demanded that both the HCCC and the SNEC find a way to work together on issues of such broad-based importance to all the residents of Six Nations. Cayuga Chief Blake Bomberry was on hand to listen to the views of the people on behalf of the HCCC. The meeting broke with a request that all also attend Tuesday nights Elected Council meeting.

2016. The HCCC didn't respond to the notice, and the farmer currently under the injunction entered the land sometime in May of 2017.

I understand that this whole situation in it's entirety has brought our people together – it really has, and I seen it with my own eyes at the speedway. It was powerful and beautiful in the way that everyone had time to speak and everyone had a different point to bring to light. But to me, there were faces that should have been at that speedway meeting that weren't.

The verdict of the speedway meeting was to meet at the SNEC general council on Tuesday night to tell SNEC that the blockade will come down if the injunction is removed. I'm sure that many of us don't even know the process of removing an injunction or how long it will take.

There are businesses that are losing money, employees that have to get up earlier to commute and accommodate the blockade, and I'm more than sure that those healing relationships with the people of Caledonia are under fire as we speak.

So, I'm praying that a resolution will make itself known and soon because a blockade shouldn't be put up on behalf or for the benefit of one person.

back.

This time around a local woman took initiative to grow commercial tobacco. Band Council made threats. She said no.

Others joined in and said no as well. The resulting stalemate was covered in local media and the Hamilton Spectator. And then all the finger pointing began.

It’s Band Council’s fault.

It’s the fault of Detlor and his followers at HDI. It’s HCCC’s fault. Let’s throw in local businesses. The Mohawk Workers. They must be involved somehow. Yeah, and the Christians. And the Chippewas.

And let’s not forget Joseph Brant and Handsome Lake.

The outside governments know all this.

In 2010 Canadian government project offers were providing a gathering of ‘aboriginal’ service agencies with new policy guidelines. The new policy guidelines, according to the government agents, were based on consultations with ‘aboriginal’ leaders. The guidelines described how the money was to be used in a new era of ‘aboriginal’ care.

The Indigenous representatives called for clarification. Around the table. “Well what if we did it this?” Nope. “Well how about this then.” Nope.

“Our people like it like this.” Sorry. But nope.

Finally, the government project officer interrupted the discussion. “Look folks,” she said. “We’re not funding medicine wheels anymore.” This policy adjustment happened in the last 10 years

as a means for improving professionalism in the social and health service sector. People wanted better care. Governments at all levels responded by requiring accreditation for individuals working in social and health services.

That’s why graduates in social service work, social work, and nursing have increased in the last ten years.

After the meeting I greeted the government policy officer. “And where are you from?” she asked.

“Why, I’m from Six Nations south of Toronto,” I replied. “Yes I know Six Nations,” she said smiling,” that’s the divided community.” I smiled.

Social media is filled with people questioning all the diverse interests.

And that’s the basis of democratic freedom. The people have historically had the right to ask questions about actions that affect them. And they also had the right to be answered. Here’s a sample of what people are saying on Social Media: “…yeah f@#$ Detlor and HDI that land was supposed to go to the CONFEDERACY not the HCCC.” “I haven't heard any of the women who are at the blockade mention him at all, just the land.”

“Will the conspiracy theories continue that if you are critical of HCCC or HDI decision making then you are working with SNEC and/or conspiring to "take down confederacy”?

“Council should run all things such as roads, health, education, hous-

ing. HCCC could run land matters. Any negotiations. And both could tackle the drug and residency laws.”

“I think I'd rather become a permanent resident of the United States than see the HCCC take over with self declared leadership. I don't care what they say is their intent, nothing good happens when self declared leaders take power.”

“In the old days Clanmothers made sure everyone was looked after.

These days every major office on the Rez has a woman boss. Including Band Council. Schools.

Education. Health and social services. Employment services.

Everything.

They're the new Clanmothers.”

“The HCCC is not the old Iroquois Confederacy.

The HCCC began in the 1950s.”

“He [referring to Allan McNaughton] can’t close a meeting because [he] isn’t even a chief because he has no clan.”

“Band Council was created by Canada in 1924 and has incorporated the reserve.”

“The Haldimand Pledge was created by the Mohawks. They have the say.”

And on and on.

In 2024 it’ll be 100 years of finger-pointing and division. In the next seven years we should have our own truth-and-reconciliation commission. Won’t that be fun!

By the end of the discussion Johnson said that SNEC would move towards planning a meeting of sorts this upcoming Thursday.

Councillor Melba Thomas spoke and said that the best way to find the solution to the solution for this problem would be to have both councils meet and discuss a plan, while focusing entirely on what the people in the community want.

“Nothing is more pressing right now then bringing the two councils together to talk about this,” said Thomas. Thomas mentioned that at a previous meeting with Chief Allen MacNaughton she asked him what could be negotiated and he told her there were no negotiations to be had and that he felt she was trying to stir up trouble.”

Thomas received a round of applause for

the things she had to say and by the sounds of agreement heard from all sides of the council room a lot of people were agreed that both councils need to come to terms together on this issue.

The group left the council room and remained outside for an extended period of time discussing what steps to take next while SNEC completed their scheduled meeting.

“Once training is completed we have the programming and ability to approach possible employers and say ‘If you hire this individual, we [GREAT] can possibly pay their salary’ — which many employers appreciate,” said Froman.

“Also, if a client is hired by say, a welding company, and needs supplies, boots, or tools, we can offer the client up to $500 to help prepare them for their first day — and it doesn’t need to be paid back.”

Monture said that a large part of the GREAT experience is to make sure the employer, client, and rest of the team are a good fit.

“Our staff here is very involved with a client even after becoming employed,” Froman said.

“We follow-up with the employers and ask for reports and updates, and do what we can to make sure things continue to work out.”

EDT announces $1.7 million for community investment 2018 CAUTION OHSWEKEN – With more than $5 million invested to date, the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust (EDT) is excited to announce more than $1.7 million will be available for community investment in the 2018 calendar year.

The EDT has been investing in the collective betterment of the Six Nations Community since September 2016 and is fueled by an annual distribution of surplus profits generated by the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) from three revenue streams 1) Nation Enterprise, which are on reserve business assets; 2) Economic Interests, which include 14 renewable energy projects; and 3) Joint Partnerships, such as A6N a utilities based construction company.

Applications for the 2018 calendar year will be available on the SNGRDC website starting August 28. In an effort to reduce the number of late or incomplete applications, the EDT has introduced a new process for 2018, which will allow applicants to submit their completed applications via email by October 4 at 4 p.m. for initial screening by an EDT representative. An email will then be sent to each applicant by October 6 with a detailed list of what is missing or incomplete.

Applicants will then have

until the hard deadline of October 13 at 4 p.m. to gather their missing documents for submission.

“The ultimate intent of the Economic Development Trust is to fund projects that will collectively benefit our community for years to come,” said Rachel Martin, Chair of the EDT. Throughout the past two years the EDT has funded projects such as the replacement or enhancement of existing equipment, architectural plans and mechanical drawings for infrastructure development, and new equipment purchases for essential services.

This year, the EDT has requested applicants to submit one project application per organization, as a means to clearly determine the organization’s funding priority. Applications are reviewed in accordance with the Six Nations Community Plan, the Statement of Community Needs and Priorities and the Economic Development Trust Distribution guidelines. A shortlist of applicants will be announced by November 9 with a final list of successful recipients released

by December 8, 2017. All approved funds must be utilized between January 1, 2018 and December 1, 2018.

RUMBLE: Unity All-Star Jam Session This autumn marks a commemorative moment in Niagara for Indigenous curated, multidisciplinary arts and historical musicology entertainment! Tim Johnson (Haudenosaunee, from Six Nations of the Grand River), co-curator of the RUMBLE: Unity All-Star Jam Session reminisces with us about the history and evolution of Rumble.

The ’Rumble Unity Jam’ on Sept. 10th is indeed an incredible concert featuring a line-up of talented, award winning musicians! And yet, there are strong roots at play here, specifically when it comes to the word, or term: RUMBLE, a song originally Recorded by Link Wray (Shawnee, Native American) & His Ray Men in 1958. Tell us about that story beginning with the Smithsonian Institution exhibit, “Up Where We Belong: Native Musicians In Popular Culture," shaped and directed by yourself and Stevie Salas.

“At the National Museum of the American Indian, I was already programming everything from blues, to concerts featuring classical music composers. I wanted to jazz things up a bit, which resulted in collaborating with Stevie (Salas). The exhibit grew identifying several core musicians who helped shape blues, jazz, rock, folk, heavy metal. It was showcased as a small offering at our Washington DC location, then to NY (Smithsonian), becoming extremely popular! We realized we had hit on a theme that resonated with many people.”

Let’s talk about the award winning documentary, ‘Rumble, The Indians Who Rocked the World.’ How did the opportunity to dig into that amazing film project transpire?

“I’d have to say the spark happened when I had assigned one of my researchers spread out all of these other Indigenous musicians and said, ‘Hey, I think you guys are onto something!” That for me was the seminal moment. That’s when it got resourced. It became a refined idea where we had a moment wherein everything became rooted. We couldn’t let it disappear. We needed to move this out to a larger audience as a documentary: a medium where people could hear the music seamlessly. The film is more than a rock doc, the lesson being: you don’t have to create a new Aboriginal Music Genre, it’s already baked into those contributions and the historical landscape of musicology to present day. Mildred Bailey was the first woman of jazz, for example, and numerous artists who followed her patterned their vocal style after her. Link Wray truly advanced Rock ‘n’ Roll to the next level with the power chord and distortion. You don’t have it unless you have Link Wray.”

You’re extending the ticketed PAC show on Sept. 10th with a FREE workshop of the on August 19th in Niagara Falls. Tell me about how you curated both shows as collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous musicians and arts professionals.

“When I took an interest in advancing contemporary Indigenous music it was on that ultimate level: LIVE performance. It turns out we had to go back in history to understand the foundations of Indigenous artistic contributions to music and showcasing it via Live Performance. The Jam Session is to tell the story while interviewing Indigenous musicians which means we’re not locked into collaborating with only Indigenous musicians. But they have to be committed to showcasing Indigenous music and history and culture. There is this distinguishing characteristic in the Native music circle: giving back to community, being responsible to our communities, and motivating and inspiring our communities.

This is the example we set.

As for the free workshop of the show at The Falls, expect some surprises, not all of the artists will be the same as the ones on the bill for the PAC show in Sept.!

The commonality is that the musicians will aim to identify both the artists and the songs that bring us deeper into mix of important stories by performing covers and original bringing the audience deeper into those stories.”

vices on a regular basis,” said Joel Jamieson, employment consultant with Community Living. “It came to the end of the phase and I wanted the minister to come and see what we have done with the funds.”

Jamieson said he wrote her a letter and asked her to come and see how the funds have been used to benefit those at Community Living, a non-profit organization serving adults 18 years and older who have an intellectual disability and live on Six Nations Reserve.

“We didn’t want the ministry to just say ‘here is some money do whatever you want’, we wanted them to see how we use it and what we do with it,” said Jamieson. “We did some

outstanding things — we got individuals jobs in the community, that’s sort of what it’s all about. It’s more than just asking for money to support the people in our community who need help, it’s about what we do with the funds we receive.”

NatioN News all our relations.

First Nation sues CN Rail over northern Ontario oil spills The Canadian Press TORONTO — A northern Ontario Indigenous community is suing CN Rail for alleged environmental and cultural damage caused by two 2015 derailments that led to significant oil spills.

The Mattagami First Nation alleges in its statement of claim that the spills near Gogama, Ont., damaged the local environment and surrounding waterways.

The $30 million suit alleges that the damage, in turn, has created health risks for the population and crippled community members' ability to observe their Indigenous traditions including fishing, hunting and gathering.

It says the two oil spills, which took place in February and March 2015, collectively poured millions of litres of oil into the area around Gogama, which is about 200 kilometres north of Sudbury, Ont. CN declined to com-

ment on the filing, adding it is committed to cleaning up environmental damage caused by the derailments.

Mattagami's allegations have not been proven in court.

The First Nation claimed the 2015 spills impacted many facets of life for community members. ``Mattagami First Nation members have suffered stress, distress, anxiety and worry as a result of the contamination of the land, waters, plants and animals on which they rely,'' reads the First Nation's statement of claim, which was filed in March but served to CN on Monday.

The suit alleges negligence from CN and claims the rail company breached its standard of care when conducting operations ranging from track maintenance to staff training. It also alleges CN has created a corporate culture that valued speed over safety.

The lawsuit alleges

that problems began for the Mattagami First Nation late on Feb. 14, 2015, when 29 cars carrying crude oil derailed near Gogama.

It said the derailment took place alongside a wetlands area and a stream, resulting in the spilled oil entering the environment almost immediately. Oil eventually migrated into nearby Kazaway Lake, the statement of claim said.

The derailment also caused a fire that burned for five days, the suit contends.

Scarcely three weeks later, the suit said 39 oil-bearing cars derailed just west of Gogama on March 7, 2015, destroying a rail bridge in the process. Some of the cars were submerged in the Makami River, the suit said, adding the spilled oil then travelled into at least five connected waterways.

The Transportation Safety Board, which reviewed that incident, estimated the derailment

dumped 2.6 million litres of oil into the local ecosystem.

There were no injuries reported, but Mattagami residents were advised to stay indoors during the cleanup due to possible smoke inhalation and told not to consume water from the community source.

The lawsuit alleges the effects of the spills continue to be felt more than two years after the derailments and are seeking compensation based on the impact the incidents had on traditional way of life. ``The relationship Mattagami First Nation has to the land in its traditional territory is profound and interconnected with all things,'' the statement of claim reads. ``The land is the source of life, spirituality, teaching and everything in between. The importance of the land, in its unaltered form, for Mattagami First Nation cannot be overstated.''

In its review of the March derailment, released earlier this month, the Transportation Safety Board found CN bore some responsibility for

Oil spills in 2015 caused environmental and cultural damage to the Mattagami First Nation, they say. SUBMITTED PHOTO the incident.

The board found the crash was caused by a broken rail that an employee failed to detect three days before the crash. The review found that a test that would have identified the problem was not conducted even though it was ``required by CN standards.''

The board also criticized the company for not highlighting the importance of the test in its staff training and for not providing opportunities for ``practical, hands-on training.''

As a result of its investigation into the incident,

the board recommended Transport Canada consistently collect data on general rail surface conditions _ and not just previously recorded defects — to better focus its track inspections and help predict future rail failures.

In response to the board review, CN said it has taken action to increase safety measures following the 2015 derailments, from improving training for all track workers to implementing stronger engineering standards for its rail repairs and inspections.

SIX NATIONS IN CHAOS continued from page 7 Nation Indians who are direct descendants of the original inhabitants of the Haldimand Tract and holders of the original deed to the Tract also claim (and rightfully so) the Burtch property as their own.

The current legal administrators of the Grand River community, the Six Nations Elected Council has imposed on the community their views of ownership to Burtch by appointing a team of negotiators as temporary Administrators of the land, which has just caused every other group to cuss out the Elected Council. On top of all this we have one local supposed lady farmer claiming the right to the land by saying she “has a lease” to do as she pleases with her property.

The Kanata Village located adjacent to the Mohawk Chapel on the site of the Original Mohawk Village on the banks of the Grand River near the City of Brantford is also in a state of chaos as two groups of Mohawks and others are fighting for the care and control of that piece of the Haldimand Tract. One group at Kanata wants to take care of the land and buildings on site and keep everything in pristine condition and allow all people access to the beauty and peace, which exist there at the

moment.

The second group of Mohawks and others want to take control of the property and replace the pristine beauty of the property with a parking lot and one or more commercial enterprises as a means of increasing their personal wealth just as the farmer is trying to do at Burtch.

So now; here in the Haldimand Tract — hundreds, if not thousands of years after the Peacemaker arrived to bring peace and harmony to the Five Nations of Iroquois, the current Six Nations of Iroquois have returned to a state of continual warfare and disrepair in pursuit of personal wealth and increased greed.

Creation Lab Showcase offers immersive performance

By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – A performance full of power and expression took to the Woodland Cultural Centre on Saturday, August 12, in what is being deemed as an offering on the grounds of the former Mohawk Institute.

Contemporary and traditionally influenced dancers from Six Nations, Winnipeg, New Zealand, and Australia offered a beautiful physical performance that culminated into an expressive and spiritual response to being on residential school grounds after two weeks of working together in the 2017 Creation Lab. “We titled it Talking Earth,” said Santee Smith, who headed the Creation Lab with the Kaha:wi Dance Theatre.

Smith explained that the name of her father's pottery shop, Talking Earth Pottery, influenced the title of the performance but there is a deeper meaning that lies within the land.

“We wanted to say something about voices.

We wanted to recognize the buried voices or the voices that are here not only from survivors past and present from our community, not only that, but the trees. The trees that witnessed so much here,

the land, the buildings; so that kind of came into the idea of sharing those voices that might have been buried and need to be given the space to find their power and strength again.”

The performance itself allowed the dancers to separately perform in different areas of the grounds and the audience seemed to enjoy the flow. Smith explained that they designed the presentation this way on purpose.

“Each of us came together and we created a group presentation, a group performance, so we were united together but we were also individual. So everybody brought their

creative process and what they wanted to offer to the performance, and we did it like a performance installation so that audiences could go from different areas.”

“I think it was important that we started the performance at the end of the driveway and had that silent walk up to the building, and then everything from that was an activation of the space.”

One of the visiting dancers from New Zealand, Taane Mete, explained that the two weeks spent working on the collective performance created a bond with the other dancers like “family”.

“I wasn't aware, travel-

ling from New Zealand to here, just how involved it would be in terms of the depth of knowledge that was gathered to create the work,” said Mete. “I understood that we were all from different trainings, different facilities, different opportunities, and coming here really helped to sync first of all with culture, and crossing our cultures and seeing the commonalities of what we experienced growing up, what our families experienced growing up.”

“But being here at the Woodland Cultural Centre, gave it grounding because our focus became more towards the residential house and gathering stories about the times that different people had in the house and the relationship that was shared by them and others gave us an understanding of how we could create a work of healing and how we could create a work that found common ground and we were able to activate the space to create positivity, to create awareness, to create a bond and a family.”

Other visiting dancers included Beez Ngarino Te Waati from New Zealand, Taree Sansbury from Australia and Thomas E. S. Kelly from Australia as well as

featuring dancers Semiah Smith, Jesse Dell, Benay Elijah, Julianne Blackbird and several others.

The performance was well received by all in

attendance, as the powerful forms, songs and movements of the dancers seemed to show more commonalities than differences.

Six Nations girls intermediate lacrosse team makes history

By Chezney Martin As the largest celebration of Minor Lacrosse commenced in Whitby, Ont., so did the rumblings of something bigger.

After years of learning, discipline, teamwork and skilled coaching the Six Nations Warriors Girls Intermediate 'A' Lacrosse Team came home provincial champions last Thursday, and pushed forward the notion that girls lacrosse is evolving.

The Warriors came out as the underdogs in their pool after losing their first game versus the Centre Wellington Mohawks 2-1, and making a stark comeback by defeating the Nepean Knights 7-0. This brought the team to face the Clarington Gaels, who had come out on top in their pool. The Gaels had been undefeated in the tournament, but the Warriors made a huge effort by majorly controlling the scoreboard in all areas.

The Warriors took the win 4-2 to move onto the championship game and his brought them face-toface with the team that had been ranked as No. 1 all season, the Kingston Crossfire. Coaches explained to the Warriors that it would come down to which team wanted it more, and this definitely showed as the Warriors blasted the Crossfire with a final score of 5-2.

The team, coaching and bench staff are the first to help bring the title of the Girls Intermediate 'A' Provincial Championship home to Six Nations.

With special thanks to Head Coach Chuck Martin, Assistant Coach Tim Bomberry, Manager Taina Lickers, and Bench Help Tyler Bomberry and Phillip Grosbeck for their dedication and time. The team and its success this season has inspired some of the team to share their voices: Fawn Porter, Assistant Captain: “When we play, all I usually ask for is for my team to come back in one piece and for everyone to give it their all and to honestly just love having their time on the floor.

This big win took me completely by surprise.

I always knew our girls could do this, right from the first try out you could see all the potential.

It was just an indescribable feeling winning Provincial Champs.

In the game I just remember laying on the floor of the last goal we got, ready to celebrate because I knew the team was not going to let anything change that scoreboard. I remember the high energy on the bench and you could just feel the need for that gold medal. We didn't want it, we needed it.

I still can't believe we CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

Chiefs between a Rock and a hard place

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs had a golden opportunity to put the Oakville Rock down in Game 6 of the Major Series semi-finals Monday night at the TRAC in Oakville. That did not happen as the Rock defeated the Chiefs 7-5.

That set up Game 7, Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Tuesday night is the Two Row Times’ production night and the results will miss our deadline.

After a scoreless first period Monday night, the Rock created a landslide of goals out pointing the Chiefs 6-2 in the second period.

Brendan Bomberry scored first but four minutes later, the Chiefs were behind 5-1. Dave Brock scored for the Chiefs and Wesley Berg scored late to end the middle period with the Rock leading 6-2.

The Chiefs put together a solid third period with goals scored by Dhane Smith, Kyle Jackson and

Owen K Hill brought the Chiefs close but Dan Lomas recorded the game winner for the Rock forcing Game 7.

Goaltending at its best is what lacrosse fans got with their ticket price at the ILA Saturday night in Game 5 of the best-ofseven OLA Major Series semi-final. Out of 102 shots on goal in total, the Chiefs finally won it 5-4 in overtime, making Dillon Ward for the Chiefs and Nick Rose for the Oakville Rock were certainly busy.

Rose faced a total of 47 shots while Ward saw 55 shots.

Ward was especially outstanding when he had to be, with the score tied at 4-4 and the Rock threatening late regulation time.

Dan Dawson carried the Chiefs offence scoring the only two goals of the first period, and scoring his third early in the third period to even the4 score at 4-4, eventually forcing overtime.

Oakville played its best period of the game

With a number of key players out of the lineup Saturday night at the ILA, the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs were happy that Dan Dawson was not one of them. Dawson scored three of Six Nations five goals and assisted on the overtime game-winner, scored by Vaughn Harris. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE and maybe the series, in the second period. By the 4:25 mark of the second period, Stephan Leblanc and Jeremy Noble balanced the score at 2-2.

Vaughn Harris scored from Brodie Merril to retake the lead less than a minute later. The Rock finished strong and Oakville held a 4-3 lead heading into the third period.

After Dawson made it 4-4, it appeared that with how the goaltenders were playing, it would be a next goal wins feeling throughout the final 18 minutes of regulation time.

Both tenders were stellar, but Ward had more good scoring chances to stop than Rose.

There were fine chances at both ends of the floor in the OT period

with Ward stopping six OT shots, in total. Vaughn Harris drilled what would stand as the game winner 6:48 of the 10-minute extra period. Dan Dawson and Dave Brock assisted on the winning goal.

“It was pretty tight checking. Both teams were not giving a lot up,” said Chiefs General Manager Dwayne Jacobs. “The goaltending was spectac-

ular.”

Among those not in uniform for the Chiefs were Cody Jamieson and Randy Staats. Jamieson was with the team in the dressing room even if he couldn’t play. He is still healing from a nagging leg injury, which has kept him out of uniform all season. Staats represents 14 goals and 22 assists in the regular season, and seven goals and seven assists in two playoff games.

“We are missing a lot of key players,” says Jacobs “They are missing some too, I think both teams played four affiliates tonight.”

“We can’t make any excuses at this time of year.”

Jacobs is very thankful for the cooperation and talent he can draw from the local talent at Six Nations.

“Our junior program has helped out tremendously this season. They certainly didn’t hurt us tonight,” he says.

The Chiefs are the defending Mann Cup Champions.

The playoff game between the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs and the visiting Oakville Rock was delayed in the second period when longtime minor sports volunteer score keeper Janice Mt. Pleasant had an episode with what was reported as high blood pressure and passed out in the officials box between the two players benches. Players and fans alike went quiet as she was being tended to by Six Nations Paramedics. Once revived, she seemed to be in very good spirits waving to the crowd from the gurney as she was being transported to the waiting ambulance to reassure the fans that she was OK, as applause of appreciation rang down from the stands. Mt. Pleasant has been an important part of Six Nations sports for many years and is loved by players and fans alike. She will likely return to her familiar position soon.

Arrows take aim at Minto Cup Northmen to represent OLA at Founders Cup

By Jim Windle

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Arrows won three games to two in the best-of-five OJALL playoff finals taking the first three games 9-3, 15-3 and Wednesdays 9-3 win to sweep the series against the Mimico Mountaineers.

That means the Arrows will have another shot at bringing the Minto Cup back to Six Nations.

The Arrows took a 3-0 first period lead Wednesday with goals by Jamie Dilks, Cody Ward and Austin Staats, all in the second half of the period.

The Mountaineers and the Arrows traded goals back

and forth throughout the second period with Mimico taking the extra one scored at 16:20, ending 40 minutes of play with the Arrows ahead 5-3.

Staats scored three of his five goals in the third period with Tehoka Nanticoke chipping one in as well to end the series with a 9-3 Arrows win.

Doug Jamieson got the win while Riley Hutchcraft suffered the loss in the Mimico net.

This years Minto Cup series will be hosted in Brampton from Thursday, August 17 to 29 and will be challenged for by the Coquitlam Andacs, The host Mimico Mountaineers, the Okotoks Raiders

and the Six Nations Arrows.

The Arrows won the Minto Cup in 2014, and 2015.

Last years Minto winners, the Orangeville Jr. A Northmen, were eliminated by Mimico in the first round of playoffs.

In 2016, the Arrows organization forfeit four games due to ineligible player, Oliver Bolsterli former property of the London Blue Devils. Bolsterli played seven games for the Arrows; however, the Blue Devils did not register him as an active OLA player until June 20.

The Arrows appealed the League's decision. On July 14 the Arrows won their

appeal, as the ruling was ultimately overturned by the Ontario Lacrosse Association; the Arrows finish 1st overall for the fifth straight season.

The Minto Cup Tournament begins with Mimico versus Coquitlam August, 17, at 2 p.m. The Okotoks Raiders take on the Arrows in the 8 p.m. game at the Brampton Memorial Arena.

Friday, August 18, Okotoks Raiders go up against the Arrows at 2 p.m. and will play again at 8 p.m. against Mimico.

Mimico and Okotoks will appear in Saturday’s 2 p.m. matchup while Six Nations and Coquitlam go at it at 8 p.m.

It definitely wasn't an easy seven to eight years for some us, when it came to not having commitment from some of the team or politics on the bench. But we persevered and continued forward, coming back every year always stronger from the year before.

I'd like to thank those who have stepped up to the plate and taught us all that we know and al-

ways have seen the potential we didn't always see in ourselves. For the parents and families who have come and supported us at every game — you have all made us the players we are today.

From the encouragement, faith and somewhat tough love pushes along the way to believe in ourselves that we are capable of achieving this awesome accomplish-

ORANGEVILLE – After eliminating the favoured Six Nations Rebels, the Orangeville Northmen prevailed over the Clarington Green Gaels in Game 5 of the OJBLL finals by the score of 13-5 at the Garnet B Rickard Sports Complex to advance to the Founders Cup playoffs.

The Northmen will represent the OLA in the Founders Cup Finals. The 4 teams representing Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario in the 2017 Minto Cup Championship have been determined.

The Okotoks Raiders out of Alberta compiled an impressive 19-1 regular season record and followed it up by dispatching the Calgary Mountaineers 4-1 in the playoffs.

The Coquitlam Adanacs have once again qualified for the Minto Cup. They also compiled a 19-1 regular season record and proceeded to sweep the Delta Islanders 3-0 in the first

round and the New Westminster Salmonbellies 4-1 in the BCJALL finals.

It was back-to-back League Championships for the Jr. B Northmen, beating the Clarington Green Gaels three games to two in an 'epic series' in Jr. B Finals history. The first three games of the series went to Overtime, seeing the home team win each overtime contest on their home floor. However, in games three and four the Northmen would find their scoring touch, notching 13 goals in each game and outscoring the Gaels 2613 (in total) en route to their second straight Championship.

The Northmen now look to defend their Founders' Cup Championship, which is being held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Between 1998 and 2004 the Gaels won two Provincial titles (2000, 2004) and four Founders Cups (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004) as National Champions.

Six Nations girls lacrosse makes history continued from page 24 won. I have friends from other teams that were calling us the dark-horse that was going to come and steal the championship title.

It was a great season with the team. The girls played amazing and worked hard, they never let up thanks to the magnificent coaches, managers, doormen and goal-advisers pushing us. I especially want to

thank my dad though, for starting this league on our “rez” again so a few awesome girls could take it to the Championship one day.

All it takes is 'one focking fake' girls.”

Hayley Grosbeck, Offence/Defence: “Winning 'A' has set a precedent for us as young women and hopefully encourages more girls to come out.

ment goes truly beyond saying ... thank you!”

Tawnee Martin, Creaseman: “It felt awesome to win provincials with my family.

I had my sister on the floor with me and my dad on the bench. Me and my sister have been playing for five years now and never got to play a game with each other, so now the year

that we play together, we win provincials.

It's an awesome feeling.”

With many of the team graduating or switching to field lacrosse to seek academic careers and scholarships, the team collectively hopes to inspire more girls to use lacrosse as a pathway to strive for success and to carry the Creator's Game.

Former Heavyweight Champ still fighting for native youth

By Jim Windle

TACOMA WA – The year was 1999 and the heavyweight boxing world was filled with rising stars, many of whom are well known and revered today. There were five recognized boxing entities at that time — the IBF, WBC, WBA, WBF and the WBO. Names like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko and Mike Tyson, to single out just a few, were making history. But there was another hard-hitting heavyweight making his own history whose name most people may not know.

Joe “The Boss” Hipp, a Blackfeet from Browning Montana, won his name in history on July 25, 1999 by winning the WBF heavyweight title to become the first Native American to win a World Heavyweight title when he defeated jour-

neyman boxer Everett “Big Foot” Martin.

Martin, the huge favourite going into the ring, was stymied

by Hipp’s methodical move-forward style and The Boss caught Martin with a crushing upper cut that put him on the canvas early in the fight.

To put that in perspective, George Forman, Larry Holmes or Michael Moorer had not knocked down Martin before facing Hipp who went on to win the decision, and the Championship belt.

Along the way, Hipp also won the WBF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship in 1991, the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title in 1994, and the Western U.S. Heavyweight Championship in 1996.

In 1995 he became the first Native American to fight for a world title when he took on Bruce Seldon for the WBA Heavyweight Champion-

ship at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. The fight was stopped in the tenth round with Hipp’s face a bleeding mess, but he was still inflicting damage on Seldon.

Later, Hipp took on the late Tommy Morrison as a 10-1 under dog in the scheduled 10 round fight and lost, but was even on the score cards when Morrison landed a surprise right hand to put Hipp down for the count in the ninth round. Until that punch, Morrison looked like he was losing the round with Hipp the obvious aggressor. That fight, which was broadcast on ABC Wild World of Sports, is available on YouTube and stands as one of the most exciting nine rounds of boxing you will ever see.

Hipp’s career ended after an in-ring knee injury with a professional record of 43 wins, 29 by knockout, and seven losses.

Although he left the

bon, Portugal this summer. Dorian graduated from the Brantford Galaxy soccer system.

He currently plays for One Touch Soccer (OTS) Soccer Academy as a midfielder on the boys U13 team, in the CAF league — The Canadian Academy of Futbol. He and his team were finalists in the first annual Biosteel Cup at the TFC training facility located in Downsview Park, this past August long weekend Dorian was named as one of the top 11 players of the weekend tournament.

The Cayuga prodigy is one of 14 youths from Canada invited to Sporting — Lisbon soccer club in Portugal for youth tryouts and will receive daily training with some of the world's best train-

ers.

He is a multi-sport athlete who also excels at lacrosse. He just finished the summer season with Six Nations Bantam 1 team. He has also recently started boxing training with his Grandfather Jack Blasdell who is a boxing coach at Bell City Boxing in Brantford.

“This is an amazing opportunity for Dorian and he is very grateful and thankful,” says Jessica. “This is a step in the direction of reaching his dream to be a professional soccer player.”

But it takes a lot more than talent to succeed.

That raw talent needs to be nurtured and that takes the dedication and sacrifices of parents and family to keep doing whatever is necessary

Former Heavyweight Champion Joe "The Boss" Hipp still fighting, but now it's for American Indian youth. Following his long career as a professional boxer, Hipp began the All Nations Foundation and is a motivational speaker encouraging Native young people to a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. SUBMITTED PHOTO ring in 2008, Hipp didn’t stop fighting. But this time it’s for native youth through the All Nations Foundation that he founded in 2008, based in Tacoma, Washington — not to be confused with the now defunct All Nations Foundation, which was based in California in the 1990s.

The ANF is a non-profit charitable organization that encourages

excellence in sports, academics, health and fitness; preserves Native sports heritage and builds pride and positive lifestyles in the spirit of Native American culture.

The Boss is now busy speaking to Native youth gatherings with his message of endurance, education and a clean and sober lifestyle.

to give him the best opportunities. In this case, as in the development of other elite athletes, it takes untold hours in a car going to and from games and practices, out of town and out of the region sometimes. It also takes money, and lots of it to enroll with elite teams and that usually comes out of the pockets of parents that can do it or have a family willing to run lot of fundraisers.

Monday, Grandmother Gayle hosted a spaghetti fundraiser at Six Nations to help with the enormous cost of the Lisbon trip.

“The Six Nations community has already been a great support with donations and to get spaghetti dinner fundraisers his Grandmother has put together at Six Na-

The best Sr. B team from British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia and TNSLL are yet to be determined, but Saskatchewan will be represented by the Saskatoon Brewers, Quebec will send the Kahnawake Mohawks, the Six Nations Rivermen will play under the OLA banner while the Native Sons represent the best of the Can/Am and the Six Nations Slash compete as the host team.

The Six Nations and the ILA will be sprucing up to get ready to host the national tournament. Ticket information is forth coming.

THANK YOU! For making

the most read indigenous newspaper in Ontario!

This little muffin is our baby and he happens to be the loudest in the family! He's Mr. Outgoing & snuggly, he's little and «Rez built” walks with his chest out but has short little legs... he's also “our runner”, constantly running away as soon as his feet hit the ground! He's the kid that takes off in malls, arenas, he even runs onto the field during lax games ...(I think ohh lord we got us a streaker!) ... every single time he takes off -- he laughs hysterically. He likes to fight and wrestle around...has no fear.... of anyone, he will bust a move anywhere at any time just for a laugh.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you see the wisdom in someone else’s idea and you are willing to go along for the ride. Express your support and your utmost confidence in this person and his or her idea.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Keep a spouse’s or special someone’s feelings in mind before making a decision that impacts you both, Libra. Otherwise, you risk damaging the relationship.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you may get the chance to revisit an issue from your past. Use the opportunity wisely, as second chances are rare and this is a unique opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you may appear reserved on the surface, underneath it all the wheels are turning in your mind at a rapid pace. You have plans you’re not yet willing to share.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A calm demeanor may help you get through a situation unscathed, Capricorn. Try not to attract any attention right now and everything should be fine.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, coworkers may demand more from you this week, but you don’t really have the time for extra work. Find someone who can share in some of these additional tasks.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Every action carries extra weight this week, Pisces. People may be watching you more closely, so exercise caution.
