Robbie Robertson earns Life-Time Achievement Award from Six Nations

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – Decorated guitarist and songwriter Jaime Royal “Robbie” Robertson was awarded and honoured for the community of Six Nations first Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Six Nations Elected Council on Saturday, October 14 at the new Six Nations Convention Centre on Pauline Johnson Road.

“We are truly excited to recognize and honour Robbie’s many accomplishments,” said Chief Ava Hill. “He is truly an inspiration to many artists.”

The ceremony was seen as an opportunity for Robertson to honour his mother of Mohawk ancestry, as Six Nations was her home.

With half of his heritage rooted in Jewish tradition and the other Six Nations, it was the influence of his mother Rosemarie “Dolly” Chrysler Myke and her Mohawk family that put him on his musical path.

“This is where her roots were,” he said.

Robertson told the gathering that his mother, who had moved to LA to be close to her son, always remembered Six Nations and spoke of it fondly.

“She told me she wanted to be cremated after she died,” said Robertson. “I promised to bring her ashes back to Six Nations and pour them in the Grand River. But she said, no. Just put them in the Pacific Ocean. The waters will carry me home.”

Robertson remembered spending his summer visiting and learning from his relatives, but in particular, he remembered his visits with aunt Alice and uncle Doug at second Line and Mohawk Road, where they still live today.

“My cousins Herb and Fred showed me where to put my fingers on the guitar,” he recalled. “That was the genesis of my career.”

Seventy-four-year-old Robertson made a name for himself throughout his career playing alongside industry stars such as Ronnie Hawkins at the age of 16, Bob Dylan, and in The Band. He is now one of the most decorated legends in the business.

Names like Eric Clapton and the Beatles remain big fans of Robbie’s signature guitar style and song writing. Claptain and Robertson recently recorded together

He has released five solo albums and been the subject of a PBS documentary called “Making a Noise.” In 1980 he produced and co-starred in the movie “Carny.” He has penned countless musical classics including “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and more.

Since The Band’s farewell concert in '76, he has also created music for many Martin Scorsese films such as “Raging Bull,” and “The Colour of Money,” as well as working with Dreamworks as a creative executive.

His name has been immortalized as a legendary musician in Canada as he has won several Juno awards, been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, been made an Officer of the Order of Canada, and received the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.

He was

also recently in the documentary film Rumble.

Robbie honoured the guest artist who performed at the gala, including Santee Smith, who he called poetry in motion, Sadie Buck who he has recorded with,

Robertson told the gathering that his mother, who had moved to L.A to be close to her son, always remembered Six Nations and spoke of it fondly.

Mark LaForme who he said helped push for this honour, and Six Nations rocker, Derek Miller.

“I met Derek a number of years back,” he said.

“And I knew this kid was a force to be reckoned with.”

He credits Six Nations as not only a musical hub, even when he was 14, but he also credits past great men, including the late Chief Arnie General, and Jake Thomas for teaching him his Haudenosaunee roots in the Great Law of Peace.

For him, receiving his Mohawk Nation Status Card for the first time was especially touching.

Robbie Robertson is a legend and for him to return to Six Nations on this occasion was especially gratifying for Chief Ava Hill who had the pleasure of introducing him.

He brought his own film crew with him for footage that will be included in his biography to go with his new book, “Testimony”.

Zomb-leaves!

Victims are everywhere EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Trigger Warning I cover this body, to hide myself from you.

Just like mom taught me.

“Don't dress to attract the wrong attention,” her voice stings.

Because I was careful, no skin showed.

But you showed me the truth, that it isn't my clothes.

If you take what is not given freely, you are a thief.

My mother’s mothers would have cut your hands off.

But I must wither in silence, As you are protected by a system put in place by your father’s fathers.

Raise your hand to me and you become the world that admires not my face, but my objectivity.

Now. I am not old but I have aged, in the time it took for you to break me down, I have learned how to rebuild.

Hear me, fear me.

For I speak with the transcendence of a million mothers before me.

I was not brought into this world for you, to serve you, to love you, to give to you.

I am here, to carry on the work of those very mothers.

And to raise sons from my body, that wouldn't dare become you. #MeToo

Not long ago I took a summer job at a local beer store.

Half of this job includes taking empty bottle returns, and often, a variety of random objects unexplainably find their way mixed in with the empties and into my workplace.

These “empty-prizes” range from smoke packs and garbage to blood and poop (can I say that in the paper?), and one time I got a full, perfectly ripe cucumber.

Beyond seeing some of the strangest, grossest, mind boggling things, once in a blue moon I'll come across something curiously curious. Something that I've never seen before and gets me wondering. My imagination explodes into a billion different pieces and I'm a

goner: lost in the infinite Create-Your-Own playground in my very own mind.

On Monday, I saw something especially curious.

All morning during my shift, I'd heard over and over about how it was such a beautiful afternoon. At lunch, I decided to spend my break outside by the loading dock to re-energize and rebalance. Isn't it awesome how nature does that?

I sat cross legged on the tiny grassy hill that looks down at an encompassing moat of pavement. A little green hill like an island in a sea of pavement. As I sat, I noticed a black maple leaf laying on the pavement.

It looked singed, and despite countless tiny holes leaving a weave of thin strands, it held its infamous structure and shape.

Like a delicate charred veil, that if touched would instantly turn to dust.

True to my nature, I had to

investigate (wouldn’t you be curious too?).

I walked over and gingerly picked up the leaf by its stem between my thumb and fingertip. I gradually increased the intensity of my pinch, carefully testing it’s resistance to being snapped... like an old, crispy twig. To my surprise, the twig did not snap. The stem had a malleability to it, almost like a leaf plucked right from a healthy tree. It was almost like there was, somehow, life still trapped inside of it.

I then carefully thumbed the edge of the leaf to realize I could bend them without damage, I ran my fingers on its blackened, fractured surface expecting it to feel flakey, but it was a leathery, weathered skin of a perfectly preserved maple leaf — most likely sitting under a case of beer in someone’s Dad’s garage for the past 100 years.

Totally decomposed but still kept intact — like pressing a prom corsage between two heavy books to keep it forever (for whatever reason). It was like a rotted leaf mummy.

Maybe it was the black veil resemblance, but I felt a spooky energy trapped in the preserves. Life still stuck in a body that is dead.

Almost like “the ghost of nature past”. Completely dissolved but still alive- all on nature’s ability to adapt to human ignorance…or is that going too far?

A wise woman once told me our ancestors speak to us through dreams, nature, and the universe. I explored these messages and put the leaf in the grassy hill, asking for release of any remainings of a spirit left imprisoned in the preserved decay.

A type of helpless entrapment I swear I’d seen before.

With an election year looming, in light of Friel's continued behaviour, and our council being complicit in it by keeping the issue secret since August 10, I now find myself wondering if our council is racist?

All of them.

This is not the first time he [Friel] has insulted First Nations people.

Worse even than this

incident was the event where he referred to a group of First Nations mothers defending their children against a white CAS as "a media circus".

This most recent incident should have been front page the very next day. Maybe we are a racist city when it comes to First Nations? Do we really want to know?

Is it any wonder people

turn away from the ballot box on election day when we are kept in the dark on important issues. Why bother?

How would our council have reacted if the insulted person had been black, yellow, a Jew, Muslim, Sikh, Jain or brown?

As for not trusting Friel, Phil Monture, Bravo, join the club. Last election the candidate known

for his Chrisy Fits got 8700 votes, and at best won a split decision. He has never won a head to head race for mayor. Given a credible candidate, and a small field, next fall he will be down for the count, with any good fortune.

Is City Council Racist? to keep this incident secret I can only venture a guess it would be part of the reason why their voter turn-out is even worse than ours.

They seem to keep their people in the dark too, judging by current events.

It would seem First Nations people desire a return to their hereditary form of self government.

Ron Eddy no better.

Shame.

Whoever leaked this news is a hero. Please stand up and take a bow.

ChrissyLeaks, whoever you are — keep the news coming.

The most disturbing thing about our racist council, in my view, is that no censure of Friel is planned. Keep people in the dark and don't have the cojones to stand up for what is right seems to be their current motto. All of them.

LETTER: Elected Councillor Helen Miller revisits negotiation tables, Peterson's Promise, and the Burtch land dealings Some people continue to be confused as to how the Burtch land was transferred to the Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC). There are those who believe the land was promised to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC).

Maybe sharing my recollections will help stem the confusion.

So let’s start with that infamous meeting in Brantford when the federal/provincial government brought in their hotshot negotiator David Peterson whose job was to get the barricades on Highway 6 down. The first thing he did was put the Burtch Land, along with the Townsend and Cayuga lands, on the table. The strategy was “We’ll give you some land back if the barricades come down”. For reasons I can’t remember the HCCC/SNEC team only zeroed in on the Burtch land leaving the Townsend and Cayuga lands by the wayside as well as the Douglas Creek estates land.

Yes, Peterson said the Burtch land could be returned to the people of Six Nations. Yes, Peterson said the land could be returned under the Haldimand Proclamation. That didn’t mean the land would be returned to the HCCC as some people believe. The HCCC signed the Haldimand Proclamation on behalf of “the Mohawks and such others.”

As for the subsequent HCCC/SNEC lands table, right from the very beginning the federal/ provincial government reps made it clear they would only deal with the SNEC. That’s why when the SNEC turned the lead on Douglas Creek and getting the barricades down over to the HCCC, the federal/provincial reps insisted on a confirmation letter.

The federal/provincial reps also made it clear that day and throughout the years of the HCCC/ SNEC lands table that any land transfer had to go thru the SNEC. They never once wavered on that.

They never once said land could be transferred to the HCCC. So I don’t know why some people have the idea the SNEC took the Burtch land away from the HCCC. Much as I hate to say it the HCCC/SNEC got rooked. Peterson and the federal/provincial reps knew full well they didn’t have the authority to say land could be transferred outside the Indian Act. Sure Peterson carried on the façade by writing a letter. What the HCCC / SNEC should have done is insisted on a letter from the Minister of Indian Affairs confirming Peterson’s promise.

As for today the HCCC has registered the Burtch land under their own land registry but that didn’t change title to the land. The land was still titled to Ontario. What the HCCC should have done is meet with the SNEC to strategize how the two councils could work together to get the federal/ provincial governments to honour Peterson’s promise. But that didn’t

happen.

Of concern to me is the HCCC’s past land management. We remember Jeff Henhawk grabbing land on Highway 6. The HCCC didn’t support the SNEC’s attempt to evict Henhawk. Their position was “We can’t tell people what to do”. So is this how they would manage the Burtch land? Could we possibly see land grabs and cigarette huts dotting the landscape?

Then there is the HCCC’s land registry itself.

This land registry is more paternalistic than INAC/SNEC’s land registry. Under the HCCC’s land registry we can’t own the land; we can only borrow the land. And if we’re bad people and do something the HCCC doesn’t like they can take the land back. The HCCC’s land registry doesn’t recognize the Certificate of Possession. Stands to reason if we can’t own the land then we can’t sell the land to each other. So this means the HCCC is in total control of the land.

The HCCC will decide

who gets land, how much land and what we can do with the land. Is this the kind of land management we want?

Of equal concern is that the HCCC’s land registry conflicts with all of the SNEC’s housing loan programs. In order to qualify for any housing loan either thru the SNEC or the bank a person has to own one acre of land.

This is so if anyone defaults on their loans the SNEC can foreclose.

So there is a lot of ifs and ands and buts to consider. I’m just happy we got the land back. The Burtch land is the most significant piece of land we’ve had returned, I would have thought our community would be celebrating. Instead all we have is division, protests and infighting.

1995 ruling shows significance in Brant/Brantford land swap

By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – In September of 1995, Justus J. Kent made a ruling that may have relevance to issues in the news today. The case is filed with the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) Brantford under O.J. No. 3061 Court File No. 1820/93.

In this case, Leslie Doctor and Helen Doctor challenged Ontario’s jurisdiction regarding the installation of a large swimming pool on their land, saying since the land in question was on the Johnson Tract, and since the people challenging Building Code regulations were both “Haudenosaunee”, they did not feel they needed to comply.

Looking back on the case, the Doctor’s lawyer was not very well prepared for this fight, and they lost. But within Kent’s reasons for judgment, there are a few very interesting points that may, or may not, apply to bother the Johnson Tract land transfer between Brant and Brantford, and the Burtch question.

Kent accepted testimony and evidence proving the land in question “may well be” land reserved for Mohawks and others of the Six Nations protected under the Haldimand Deed of 1784.

He accepted in his reasons for judgment, that one Peter Green of the Six Nations, and ancestor of the present landholder, once occupied the land in question. Although the Doctors could not produce a Deed, they were able to convince the court through other documents and generations of occupation, that in fact it has always been in the family.

“As I understand the evidence,” he goes on, “the practice that has developed to permit a deed to be obtained is that a

conditional, or less than absolute, release or surrender of lands is made to the Crown and the Crown then executes and delivers a patent or deed as directed by the surrendering party or parties.”

“Another means that has been used to create documentation of title is for the individual occupant of land or a band council to make an absolute surrender of land or lands to the Crown, with the Crown then being free to grant a patent of those lands at some subsequent point in time.”

Although the possibility exists that there may have been either an absolute surrender or a conditional surrender of the subject lands as part of some larger surrender, on the evidence that I heard, it seems more probable than not that neither an absolute surrender or a conditional surrender of the subject lands has ever taken place. If that is correct then the respondents have the most significant interest in the land, namely possession, use and benefit. However, the Band Council may have an underlying reversionary interest and the Crown may also have an underlying interest. These underlying interests exist because no patent or deed may be created without the involvement of the Band Council and the Crown.

“It is also possible that the lands are part of an Indian Reserve,” according to Kent.

Turning to the law itself, Kent offers one reason the Doctors did not win the case.

“Although the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Provinces may legislate, within their sphere of jurisdiction, over Indians, certain rules have evolved which create exclusion for Indians and Indian lands.”

In his reasons for judg-

ment, Kent hints that this point was not submitted by the Doctor’s lawyer hinting that it could have made a difference in his case.

Kent then quoted from a 1985 case filed as Dick vs. The Queen.

“No Provincial legislation that encroaches upon constitutionally protected native rights can apply to Indians and Indian lands … There was no evidence on this application that the respondents relied on any such right,” he said.

This may be a very interesting point that may not have been considered by either party in the Brant/Brantford land transfer.

He also underscored that the Province has no legislative right to that which would impair the status or capacity of Indians.

“The Provincial legislation may not affect the Indians right to possession of reserve lands,” he ruled recognizing that the point of this action was abiding by safety rules and not who is in possession of the land.

In conclusion he wrote, “The Provincial legislation may not come into conflict with the provisions of the Indian Act of Canada or other federal enactments related to Indians. The normal rules of paramountcy apply and if there is actual conflict, Federal legislation prevails.”

In this case, the Doctors had to comply since the case was limited only to safety in outdoor pool building, according to Code, and did not depend on title of the land itself.

However, it may have offered a underlying problem to the Brantford and Brant’s land swap deal on the same Johnson Tract land without proper consultation and accommodation to Six Nations.

The farther north the higher the prices

By Jayson Koblun

NORTHERN ONTARIO – Budgeting, saving coupons, or buying No Name brand food is how some families are able to afford food on their tables; however, for families in Northern Ontario fly-in reserves it seems almost impossible to make ends meet.

It seems almost sinful to walk into the grocery store up north and see one toothbrush being sold for more than $10; or a small bag of apples for $9. It’s just not something seen in communities with higher populations closer to the Canada/U.S. border.

“We’ve kind of gotten used to it and just either do without those items, save for them, or splurge,” said one of the elected councillors in Attawapiskat First Nation.

“Sometimes you have to give up something to have what you want. It’s really easy to not be responsible with your money up here when necessities and other things cost so much.”

Food is obviously a necessity, but what the councillor is talking about

is also things like toilet paper, feminine pads and other hygienic products.

A few weeks ago, a team of volunteers from the Two Row Times and Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation went up to some of these northern reserves and found a lot of seemingly unreasonably high prices. A package of 24 toilet paper rolls was $40; Walmart in Hamilton, Ont. has the same pack priced at $5.98. Things like that really surprised the team.

“I couldn’t afford to live up there,” said Tiff Thomas. “I get broke down here, there’s no way I could buy things up there at those prices.”

Even when it comes to usually inexpensive dinner options, like chicken, the northern reserves are out of luck there too.

A package of four small chicken breasts costs just under $30.

“Couldn’t do it,” said Thomas.

It’s difficult to acknowledge the legitimate reasons why the cost of food and other items up north are so high, but in all fairness — it’s more logistics than anything.

There are many fly-in only reserves in Northern Ontario, which means they can only be accessed by plane year-round or ice roads in the dead of winter.

“It sucks, but when you consider how much space a package of toilet paper takes up on a place, times 20 or 30 packages, that space is valuable and comes with a cost,” said the councillor. “Or when you think about how

much chicken, beef, and other food items weigh — it all adds up when you’re fitting those things on small aircrafts and overloaded trucks on an ice road.”

“The grocery stores aren’t trying to rip us off, there’s just not really any other options when you considered all the other details.”

When people who live away from these territories hear about the high

prices, or other concerns up north, some start fundraising or collecting donations to send up and help out. The chiefs and councillors in most of these communities appreciate the efforts but sometimes the well-meaning donations get lost or end up in the wrongs hands.

“We’ve had many instances of donations going missing, or lost, or money and cheques not

making it to the proper organization it was supposed to go to,” said the councillor.

She said that the best thing to do is to deal directly with the band office.

“Definitely deal with the band office — they are the ones who have the means of processing and documenting and counting the donations and making sure that those who need it get it.”

The price of food and other necessary items is much higher in northen fly-in only communites in Ontario than more populated communities and cities located more south. A team of volunteers from the Two Row Times and Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation experienced this first hand when they were up there a few weeks ago. It's difficult to be wise with your money even living here in Southern Ontario, the team learned just how difficult it would be to live and eat healthy, or even at all, if they lived in any of the reserves they visited.

New commitment for resolution in ‘60s scoop class action

OTTAWA – The Sixties Scoop is a dark and painful chapter in Canada’s history.

Working together to resolve class actions and bring a meaningful resolution to its painful legacy is an important step in our journey of recon-

ciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern

Affairs, together with Marcia Brown Martel, Stewart Garnett, Priscilla Meeches Catriona Charlie, Peter Van Name, Sarah Tanchak, and Jessica

Riddle announced that an Agreement-in-Principle aimed at resolving Sixties Scoop litigation has been reached.

Throughout the past several months, the Government of Canada and counsel for the plaintiffs have been engaged in negotiations to resolve this litigation in a fair, compassionate, and respectful manner that promotes reconciliation and healing.

The Agreement -in-Principle includes the establishment of a Foundation that will focus on healing, wellness, language, culture and commemoration.

The structure of the Founda-

tion will be negotiated directly with representatives from the plaintiffs, their counsel, and representatives from the Government of Canada. The Agreement-in-Principle also includes individual compensation.

“The Sixties Scoop was a dark painful chapter in Canada’s history,” said Carolyn Bennett. “The survivors have identified the loss of language and culture, and therefore their identity, as the greatest harm. The creation of a foundation will directly address the need for survivors to claim a secure personal cultural identity.”

tions under the UNDRIP to provide effective mechanisms of redress for historical wrongs by denying Indigenous Peoples access to crucial evidence in support of their legal claims.

Access to this information and records is crucial to support claims made by Indigenous communities against the Government of Canada as the government holds the vast majority of the information required to properly document claims as required under the federal Specific Claims Policy. Canada’s clear conflict of interest in this regard would be further entrenched by Bill C-58 which would provide the Government of Canada with a legislative basis to deny legitimate requests for information thereby serving to insulate itself from legal claims made by Indigenous communities.

The IBA, therefore, calls on the Standing Committee and the Government of Canada to immediately and unconditionally withdraw Bill C-58 and to engage in full and meaningful consultations with Indigenous Peoples and communities, as equal partners, regarding any and all legislative reforms to the access to information and privacy regime that may affect the rights or interests of Indigenous Peoples.

Indigenous Bar Association warns of Bill C-58 OTTAWA – The Indigenous Bar Association (IBA) wishes to express its concerns with respect to the content of Bill C-58 which, if passed into law, would seriously undermine the ability of Indigenous communities to access government records and information in support of their claims against the Government of Canada.

The IBA fully supports and endorses the submission of the National Claims Research Directors and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs (dated October 10, 2017) to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics urging the immediate withdrawal of Bill C-58.

Bill C-58 has been developed unilaterally by the Government of Canada without any effort or attempt to consult with Indigenous Peoples, in violation of Canada’s obligations under the UNDRIP. Moreover, Bill C-58, as drafted, would provide legislative authority for the suppression of crucial information which Indigenous communities require to pursue and resolve their outstanding claims against Canada. As such, Bill C-58 further contravenes Canada’s obliga-

Lecture and film to open discussion on history of residential school

By TRT staff

Susan Enberg, creator of a documentary on a notoriously violent residential school in Northern Ontario, will talk about her film at a free public lecture in Brantford at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at Laurier Brantford.

The discussion will follow screening of the film "In Jesus' Name: Shattering the Silence of St. Anne's Residential School." The film is a poignant all-Indigenous English and Cree-English collaborative documentary film that breaks longheld silences imposed upon indigenous children who were interned at the school in Fort Albany First Nation, Ontario.

The free event will be at 7 p.m. in Room RCE 004 in the Research and Academic Centre, Laurier Brantford, 150 Dalhousie St. The event is the second lecture in a series entitled "What is Reconciliation?" It is sponsored by the Friends and Neigh-

bours Group, a grassroots committee of volunteers supporting the Woodland Cultural Centre's Save The Evidence Campaign. The lectures are presented in association with Laurier Brantford.

The goal of the lecture series is to educate people and promote a community dialog about the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School and reconciliation, said Rob Knechtel, vice-chair of Friends and Neighbours, who is co-ordinating the series. The Mohawk Institute, on Mohawk Street in Brantford, operated as a residential school from 1828 until its closure in 1970.

"This year we want to focus on the question of decolonization," said Knechtel. "We all have to move in that direction as individuals. We have to do the work ourselves."

The third lecture in the 2017-18 series will be on Nov. 22. Retired Justice James Kent, of the Ontario Superior Court, who pre-

sided over cases involving Six Nations land claims, will speak on "The Potential for Reconciliation of Land Claims, Treaty Obligations and Common Ground."

More lectures will take place in early 2018 with details to be announced later.

Save the Evidence is a capital campaign to raise awareness and support for the repair and renovation of the Mohawk Institute building. The campaign is in response to devastating roof leaks, which caused significant damage to the interior and exterior of the building. It is currently undergoing the first of three phases of renovation.

After its closure in 1970, the former Mohawk Institute reopened as the Woodland Cultural Centre, which operates as a museum, gallery, and cultural hub for indigenous history, language, education, art, and contemporary culture.

15 An estimated 80,000 motorcycle riders and fans crowded the narrow streets of Port Dover again, this past Friday 13th. The event has become a staple for bikes and partiers alike from near and far. The normal population of Port Dover is 6,000. Every Friday 13th, the roads are filled with motorcycles and riders of all descriptions.

This year marked the 63rd biker gathering in Port Dover since 1981, when it all started as a house party. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Ancient Tuscarora remedies An American botanist, J. N. H. Hewitt, interviewed a Tuscarora medicine man in 1888, asking for some of his healing remedies. The following are from notes he made and are housed in the Bureau of American Ethnology. Although we find the cures are an interesting look into the past, but we do not in any way endorse their use.

For an oblation (offering or sacrifice) of real tobacco must be made to it and it must be addressed.

Only three plants are gathered in a place, and the three chosen must be in an equi-distant (equal distances) and triangular position to one another.

The tobacco is scattered beside, and the request addressed to, the other plants standing adjacent to those chosen for the purpose of the Shaman. While making the offering of real tobacco the shaman would say, “I have put my dependence on three; Thou must drive out with thy whole power all pain and sickness thy grandchildren ask this of thee; Now thou receive this oblation of tobacco.

Signs you’re with a good man

By James Michael Sama A good man never lets you forget how much he loves you I cannot tell you how many conversations I have had with women who tell me that there is no affection in their relationship.

The man in their life does not make them feel loved, wanted, or appreciated.

This is a profoundly important piece of the puzzle – a good man will always remind you how much you mean to him.

I understand men can be less communicative or affectionate than women are, but this does not excuse the severe lack of effort put forth by our generation. If someone truly loves you, you will know it and feel it.

If they don’t, you’ll be wondering all the time if they do.

A good man always supports you.

Regardless of whether you want to go back to school after 20 years to get your

Master’s degree, start a singing career, or stay at home to raise a family, a good man will always support you and what you want out of your life. He will never discourage you or make you feel as though you can’t do what you set out to do.

He will be beside you every step of the way, cheering on your victories and comforting you during your defeats.

A good man will inspire you.

This goes one step beyond supporting you, which can be more passive. To inspire someone takes effort both in how one lives their own life as well as encourages others to live theirs. A good man’s drive and ambition will rub off on you as he pursues his own passions.

A good man will work to gain your trust.

A good man will want you to be comfortable and confident in your relationship.

The very cornerstone of this is being able to trust someone, and he will realize that. Without trust there is no foundation for love or

respect.

He will understand that trust is not just handed over to someone – it has to be earned, and then it has to be kept.

A good man will always make you feel beautiful.

He will understand that making you feel beautiful does not just mean saying the words to you. It will mean truly making you feel beautiful. In the way he looks at you, touches you, and treats you. He will notice details when you put effort into your appearance and remind you how attractive he still finds you even when you don’t.

A good man will make you feel safe.

I have always said that I believe one of the best compliments a woman can give a man is telling him that she feels safe around him. Regardless of how attracted she is to you or how funny she thinks you are or how much money you have – if a woman cannot sleep soundly by your side at night,

none of it matters.

A good man does the little things.

Do you need a prescription filled but have to stay late at work? Did you mention an art exhibit coming to town and he made plans to take you to see it? Regardless of how small certain things seem, he will understand they are really the big things that matter most.

A good man is always trying to improve himself.

Whether it be learning new things, developing a new skill set, reading a new book or watching a documentary – a good man who prides himself on continuous self improvement will always be intellectually challenging you and keeping your attention. He will be doing these things for himself, but the added benefit will be the positive impact it has on your relationship.

A good man understands actions speak louder than words.

A good man will always be honest with you.

New First Nations school system officially opened in Manitoba SCANTERBURY — About 1,700 students from 10 First Nations are part of the new Manitoba First Nations School System.

It was officially opened Wednesday on the Brokenhead First Nation.

The goal is to offer a curriculum that recognizes and incorporates the identities of First Nations children, like their languages, histories and cultures.

Executive director Lorne Keeper says he's optimistic it will change the face of First Nations education.

The schools involved are receiving more funding from the federal government than before.

Director of system development Nora Murdock said First Nations schools used to get roughly $8,000 per student, and now, it's around $18,000. ``Out of that funding, we were able to provide many more resources for the teachers to be able to teach the curriculum, to be able to be innovative

in what they teach,'' said Murdock.

Teachers' salaries are also increasing, and will be more on par with provincial salaries. Murdock said this will help to retain and attract teachers. ``Stability in teaching staff goes a long way in improving academic achievement and positive outcomes for our students,'' Murdock added.

Minister of Indigenous Services Jane Philpott said one of the federal government's responsibilities on First Nations is education. ``What this allows is to be able to put those resources together to be able to provide the appropriate additional resources for the administration of a school system,'' said Philpott.

Tanya Kent is a Grade 8 student at Sergeant Tommy Prince School in Brokenhead First Nation. ``We were kind of dusted under the rug for so long, and it's like, we're finally getting out there,''

said Tanya.

Her school is now opening its own library and getting textbooks, laptops and iPads. ``Students were real-

ly behind in reading and math because we didn't have the textbooks, and just overall books to help,'' she said. ``And now, I can see even my little

brother really advancing in that, and it's really awesome.''

The Manitoba First Nations School System is the result of the Education

Governance Agreement, reached last December as part of the federal government's commitment to reconciliation.

The Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL) has been sitting idle for the past 10 years. Now more than ever, appears to be the right time for Six Nations to bring forth a solution that would see the NRL completed in exchange for the creation of long term value in favour of our community. A three phase bundled solution, proposed by Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC), has been accepted by the Ministry of Energy (ENERGY) and Hydro One Networks Inc.

Story telling Academic Wade Davis visits Six Nations

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – Anthropologist, Ethnobotanist and Story-Teller Wade Davis drew quite the crowd last Friday at the Six Nations Community Hall.

The hall was filled with people interested in hearing some of Davis’ stories, fables and adventures.

Cultural Anthropologist Dr. Dawn Martin-Hill requested Davis’ presence through a 20-year partnership with the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG), as she wanted the chance to allow the community to hear his stories and have him meet with elders.

“I've known Wade for probably as long as I finished my PhD, so since '92,” said Martin-Hill. “I've

always admired his work.”

The grant was approved in September and Martin-Hill felt it would also be a good opportunity to show what she and Davis do as professionals.

“I'm not just someone that brings exotic people to the community. I thought it would be good for people to understand that I'm a cultural anthropologist and cultural conservation is my life's work,” she said.

Martin-Hill incorporated concepts of the global water future and allowed community members to sign up to get their well water tested by students from McMaster University.

She also took the time to discuss ideas and matters of importance on the preservation of the Haudenos-

aunee confederacy system with Davis as a fellow anthropologist.

“I was really glad to have the time to bounce ideas off of him,” she said.

Martin-Hill also mentioned that Davis has $300 million to invest from wealthy sources that were formerly investing in saving the amazon, into indigenous land reclamation as a method of conservation.

“Instead of caring about a tree and saving a tree, he's getting them to invest in saving the people that know everything there is to know about that tree,” she said.

'But who is Wade Davis?'

Davis is each of the titles mentioned above, and more.

From left to right: Makasa Looking Horse, Amber Skye, Dr. Martin-Hill, Wade Davis and Ashley Cooke pose shortly after Davis finished his presentation. Later in the evening he presented at the Royal Botanical Gardens. Photo by Chezney Martin He is an explorer in residence at the National Geographic Society, the author of 15 books, he has ventured into and photographed the Arctic, Cambodia, Polynesia, Mongolia, Sahara and much more during his career.

If that doesn't impress you — if you've ever heard of the book The Serpent and the Rainbow, he is the author and explorer that ventured into Haiti to document cases of zombies; individuals being declared dead but reappearing in Haitian society alive years later.

His stories at the Community Hall encompassed many of his travels and his interactions with the cultures of the world, including stories from the Arctic as he learned firsthand from the Inuit of their survivalist mindsets.

Davis said that when David Galbraith from the RBG and Martin-Hill asked for him to visit Six Nations as well as the RBG, he wouldn't refuse.

“I was delighted to do so,” said Davis.

But as professional, he explained that his passion for anthropology isn't wholly academic.

“Largely what I am is a story teller, I'm not really an academic,” he said. “I am a professor of Anthropology at the UBC (University of British Columbia) in Vancouver, but I only came into the academic world very recently when I was 59-year-old.”

“For all of my career I've been a writer and story-teller, travelling around the world to not just tell stories of culture — that's not my only interest — I think anthropology has

been less than helpful or down right unhelpful to be polite. But in its best anthropology is kind of served as a platform in which indigenous concerns can be given voice.”

So rather than poking holes in different cultures or finding flaws, Davis explained that this mindset when thinking about diversity is important to the core fundamentals of anthropology.

“It's not about criticizing any culture, it's really about asking 'what kind of world do we want to live in?' To generate a truly multicultural and pluralistic world in which every voice is heard.”

“The main idea of anthropology I suppose is that every culture has something to say and each culture deserves to be heard,” he said. “I very much come from the tradition of anthropology of activism in the sense that the purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences and in this sense I think that these days anthropology could be a good antidote to Trump, if you think about it.”

His broad understanding of the importance of every individual culture along with his cultural sensitivity made it is very easy to see why many that attended his visit said that they could “listen to him talk all day.”

Martin-Hill also hinted that it wouldn't be his last visit to the Six Nations community.

BRANTFORD – Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts presents the acclaimed stage adaptation of the book Fatty Legs on Tuesday November 7 at 7:30 p.m.

The production tells the story of one young girl’s experience in Indian Residential School and is touring Southern and South-Eastern Ontario.

Based on the book Fatty Legs by Margaret Pokiak-Fenton and Christy Jordan-Fenton with illustrations by Liz Amini-Holmes, the show retells Margaret’s true story, including the five-day journey from her home in the high arctic to the school, having her name changed by the nuns, and the itchy red wool socks a teacher made her wear as an example of her “unworthiness.” The socks make Margaret’s legs appear bigger than they were, and in turn make Margaret the target of ridicule from her peers.

Fatty Legs is a profound yet accessible story that brings to light the suffering endured at residential schools while celebrating the deep strength of a young girl who refused to be broken by her experiences.

Originally commissioned as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Atlantic National Event in

109 Jerseyville Road, Brantford Call (226) 400-9079 facebook@coltonsfunfarm 2011, the performance is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists that aims to promote dialogue and reconciliation. After the show, audience members will have a chance to dialogue with the performers and learn more about Margaret, who is now an Inuit elder in her 80s.

Anishinaabe contemporary dancer Sarain Carson-Fox and Mi’kmaw poet-laureate of Halifax Rebecca Thomas will jointly play the role of Margaret through dance and narration, while Xara Choral Theatre will use choral music and movement to depict the physi-

cal and emotional terrain of the story. The performance will also feature lighting design by Matthew Downey.

The company is in its third tour of the production and will also play in Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Kingston, and Ottawa. The Brantford performance of Fatty Legs is on Tuesday November 7 at 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are $35 and available at 519-758-8090, 1-800-265-0710, online at www.sandersoncentre.ca or at 88 Dalhousie Street, Brantford Monday to Saturday 12 to 5 p.m.

The Port Dover Pirates were robbed of a 4-1 lead as the Six Nations PeeWee LL Blackhawks came from behind to record a 5-5 tie and take the single point. It was a huge third period team effort coupled with Dayton Jamieson’s four-goal game that made the difference. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – Saturday at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA) is always a great way of spending a free afternoon, even if you don’t have kids or grandkids playing.

Last Saturday afternoon was no different as the Six Nations PeeWee LL Intertown Blackhawks took on the Port Dover Pirates in the 2 p.m. game.

Certainly a character building win for Dennis MacDonald’s Six Nations Blackhawks as they overcame a 4-1 deficit to steel a 5-5 tie from the Port Dover Pirates.

Dayton Jamieson scored first, assisted by Sonny Jacobs, to give the Blackhawks an early 1-0 lead. But the wheels fell off from that point in the period on as Jacob Dengo scored twice and Taylor

Ellis and Dylan Cavan built a 4-1 lead for Dover by the end of the period.

Cavan’s goal was scored with four seconds remaining.

Jamieson scored his second of a four-goal game at 8:08 of the second frame from Erik VanEvery and Easton Thomas.

Taylor Ellis scored for the Pirates. Six Nations had a good rush going when the buzzer ended the second

period with Port Dover up 4-2.

The Blackhawks gained ground on the Pirates quickly in the third when Davin MacDonald scored from Thomas and Jacobs before Jamieson netted numbers 3 and 4, from Thomas and Jacobs, MacDonald and goalie Marc General for a 5-5 comeback tie.

CALEDONIA – The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs find themselves in first place in the Golden Horseshoe Division, Monday morning after beating the Fort Erie Meteors 8-1, Sunday night at the Haldimand Centre.

The Meteors showed signs of offering the Corvairs a serious opponent holding the Corvairs to a 0-0 first period stand-off.

But there was no panic, and Caledonia just kept the pressure on in the second period, which began to pay off.

Andrew Burns broke the goose egg at 8:17, and Sean O’Brien made it a 2-0 game at 13:36. Fort Erie caught a break when Daniel Nardi scored on a power play with one second left on the clock.

Eddie Schulz, Andrew Burns, Bobby Harrison, Jesse Barwell, Owen Lane, and Joshua DeFarias piled on in the third for the 8-1 final.

Their workweek began Tuesday in Buffalo where Brandon McCorriston recorded his second shutout with a 5-0 Caledonia win.

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Bantam 1 Blackhawks worked over the visiting Waterford Wildcats, 6-1 in the 3 p.m. game at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA) Saturday afternoon.

It was a good effort both ways for the Six Nations squad. Lyden Hill put the Blackhawks up 1-0 in the first period with Justin Gardner adding a second with a nice deflection from the crease, 30

seconds later. Chole Hill, Owen Hill, Aiden Skye and Dazion Martin added assists.

Cameron Pearson scored for Waterford very early in the second period from Hailey Watts and Nate Bennis, but that would be all the visitors could muster. Behind dependable goaltending and defense, Six Nations continued to pile on with goals by Chole Hill, two by Justin Gardner and a single from Darius Hill for an easy 6-1 win.

By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – The Jr. C Hagersville Hawks continue to try and find some traction this season. After this week’s games, the Hawks are in last place with two wins, seven losses and one tie.

Sunday night at the Talbot Gardens in Simcoe, the Storm scored one goal per period to shut out

Wednesday, Oct.25, the Hawks hope to turn the tide against Glanbrook at the Glanbrook Arena and in Dundas against the Blues Thursday night. Saturday, Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. the Hawks return home for a matchup against the Dunnville Mudcats.

Knighthawks sign free Young Six Nations athletes agents Greg Longboat selected for TVO Program

By Craig Rybczynski

By Chezney Martin

ROCHESTER NY – The Rochester Knighthawks announced today that they have signed free agents Greg “Honosawi” Longboat to a one-year deal.

Longboat returns to the team that drafted him after having an impressive summer in his first season in senior lacrosse. With the Ontario Senior “B” champion Six Nations Rivermen, Longboat played tough, physical defence while also contributing offensively.

In the President’s Cup tournament, he played both ends of the floor and finished second on Six Nations with 33 points and third in the tournament with 26 assists. That included two assists in the championship game as the Rivermen captured a silver medal.

“I started off the year playing defence and then they moved me up to play some offence,” he said. “I feel like I learned a lot and definitely became a better player.”

Earning another opportunity to play for the Knighthawks means a lot to the 23-year-old Longboat, who also played with the Arena Lacrosse League’s Six Nations Snipers in 2017.

“I am just grateful to have another shot at making the team,” he said. “I wasn’t sure I would get another chance.”

Longboat originally joined the Knighthawks in

The young athletes shared activities, sports, their families and traditional foods throughout the two-day filming process for their individual episodes.

Young Six Nations athletes for TVO program Heritage Cup first time in Hamilton stuff for him too. So Kevin asked Johnny if he knew of any kids between seven and 10 years old that would want to do something like this,” said Laurie. “So we found out if [Kalem] would want to do that and he said 'yeah,' he would.”

Laurie also explained that her father, Ivan Bomberry, became a cultural consultant for their episode and helped to ensure that the crew were given accurate information and utilized culturally correct sensitivity.

She said that although her son is rather shy with new people, the camera crew were very good with soft-spoken Kalem as he showed them mini-golfing, zombie tag, and how to make corn soup and ham and scone at a family potluck.

“It was good,” he said. “[I started playing lacrosse] when I was four,” as the crew also viewed and filmed one of his home games for his episode.

“And I took them to my school,” he said.

Kalem shared his school, I.L. Thomas, as it

is one of the only elementary schools with a greenhouse, and noted that the crew even took time to film his litter of puppies.

But after one of the other 20 youth were unable to film their episode, Laurie sent the information to Martin's mother Jerrica Thomas-Hill to see if they would like to film — and they did. “[Wathaheh] was the last one to be filmed,” said Thomas-Hill. “[The program is] more or less like aboriginal kids in Canada telling the story through their own voice more or less, like their lives and culture and community and stuff like that.”

She said that among the sports activities they also shared the making of strawberry juice, corn soup and a storytelling session with a family relative. And Martin was eager to share with the crew.

“I liked it, but it was nerve-wracking,” said Martin. “We rode the four-wheeler at my papa's house, we went swimming, we went bike riding by the Grand River and we played lacrosse, we played

HAMILTON – The finest box lacrosse players from both Canada and the U.S. will faceoff this weekend in Hamilton, Ont., as they compete in the 2017 Heritage Cup, an international showcase game happening at the FirstOntario Centre on Saturday, October 21.

“We’re really excited to have it in Hamilton for the first time this year,” said Johnny Mouradian, director of Team Canada’s indoor lacrosse program.

“Also, the plan is to make this a big, yearly event from this year forward.

Other years there have been breaks in between but hopefully that won’t be the case after this.”

The Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA), in association with Core Entertainment, is excited to announce the re-launch of the Heritage Cup event. This year marks the fourth time that the cup will be up for grabs, having been awarded previously in 2002, 2004 and 2013. The last game was in Montreal in 2013.

George “Potsy” Burrows and Bobby “Bobcat” Allan will be joining a tribute to Gaylord Powless as part of the opening ceremonies. Some of Powless’ family will be at the ceremony as well; Gaylord’s grandson, David Anderson plays for Team Ontario.

“This isn’t just a game,” said Mouradian. “It’s an

opportunity for fans, players and families from the U.S., Canada, Six Nations and more to come together and celebrate the game of lacrosse and the legends and upcoming stars in the sport.”

Tickets can be bought at ticketmaster.ca and are on a two for one sale, making the ticket cost $10 each.

“We wanted to make the game affordable for families and friends to get together and watch,” said Mouradian.

Doors open around 5:45 p.m. and ticketholders will see several warm up matches before the big game between Canada and U.S. kick off around 6:30 p.m.

Apple and Venison Stew This Healthy Roots inspired stew, with savoury spices, is the perfect fall comfort food.

2 pounds boneless venison roast, cut into 1-inch cubes 2 tablespoons sunflower oil 2 medium onions, cut into wedges 2 tablespoons white corn flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 cups water 2 tablespoons apple cider 2 bay leaves 2 whole allspice 2 whole cloves 2 medium carrots, sliced 2 medium apples, peeled and cut into wedges In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, brown meat in oil.

Add onions; cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle with corn flour and salt. Gradually add water and apple cider.

The apple - so simple and such a perfect nutritious food. Not only are they healthy but they are also an indigenous food!

Apples are rich in antioxidants, flavonoids and dietary fiber.

And as the old saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

All that good stuff isn’t exactly a miracle cure but focusing on building your diet around healthy rich indigenous foods like apples can help reduce your risk of cancers, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.

A 2006 study says quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in apples, was one of two compounds that battled inflammation of the nervous system.

Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Place the bay leaves, allspice and cloves in a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add to pan.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until meat is almost tender.

Add carrots and apples; cover and simmer 15 minutes longer or until the meat, carrots and apples are tender.

Discard spice bag.

5 steps to motor through your morning routine this fall (NC) A productive morning can help increase your motivation and productivity throughout the day.

However, new research from Centrum shows that a third of Canadians (33 per cent) don't think their early routine impacts the rest of their day.

“We tend to over-estimate how much we can get done in a set period of time — morning routines help mitigate the negative effects of this common cognitive error,” explains Dr. Brynn Winegard, a business-brain expert.

“Working with your natural tendencies instead of against them is the best way to create

Here are a few ideas

better habits and more productive days.”

A routine can also help calm nerves and anxiety about the day ahead, Winegard says, noting that a

smooth flow of morning tasks and can decrease uncertainty and help start the day with a sense of control.

If you'd like to add exercise or medita-

tion, leisure or family time to your morning routine, having a plan is key. With the fall upon us and shorter winter days ahead, there's no better occasion to start.

Get quality sleep.

Going to bed at the same time every night is the first step to waking up rested.

Shut off electronics an hour before you plan to sleep, and use that time for relaxing.

Set a reminder each night for bed time, just like any other important appointment.

Don't “fall back” into bed.

It can be hard to resist the temptation to use that extra hour to sleep in. Instead, get up and give yourself extra time to go about your routine slowly and stress-free.

Have a healthy breakfast.

Now's the time to get

into the habit of preparing a healthy breakfast and adding a multivitamin to help fill any nutritional gaps.

Get going.

Go for a morning walk, do a few push-ups, or ease into your day with some stretches. Working out in the morning will make you less likely to skip a regular exercise routine.

Stay motivated.

Think about what you'll do with one extra hour of the day before you go to bed.

Once you've started waking up earlier, keep the momentum going by setting new morning goals for yourself.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Bones, teeth show distinct ancient groups populated Newfoundland: DNA study ST. JOHN’S — New genetic research suggests ancient groups who moved on to Newfoundland after the last ice age are distinct from the Beothuk who died off after Europeans arrived.

Samples of DNA passed from mothers to children suggest Maritime Archaic groups who lived on the island 5,000 years ago share no recent maternal ancestor with the Beothuk.

The Beothuk peoples lived in Newfoundland for hundreds of years before disease and loss of hunting grounds killed the last known survivor in 1829.

The study published today in the journal ``Current Biology'' is based on small archived samples of bone and teeth from 74 people.

They include 19 Beothuk samples analyzed with co-operation from aboriginal groups in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Study co-author Ana Duggan says the results help fill gaps in the archeological record.

The relationship between the older groups and the Beothuk had not been clear from artifacts such as ancient stone tools used to hunt seal and wild game.

Family of murdered Indigenous woman say killers walk WINNIPEG — The national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women has been told that killings can leave communities divided and have long-lasting effects on everyone.

At a hearing in Winnipeg today, the inquiry heard from the family of Roberta McIvor, a 32-year-old woman who was decapitated on the Sandy Bay First Nation in Manitoba in July 2011.

The victim's cousin, Alaya McIvor, says she and other relatives do not accept the story told in court that the decapitation was unintentional _ caused by a seatbelt during a botched carjacking.

Two teenage girls pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to two years in custody and one year of supervision in the community.

Alaya McIvor says the community of 2,500 people remains divided because of suspicion about others who may have been involved.
