Community knitters helping northern Manitoba reserves

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – A group of knitters is sending up love and handcrafted winter mittens, blankets, scarves and more to reserves in Northern Manitoba reeling from the effects of recent floods.

Flooding in Northern Manitoba has seriously disrupted many indigenous communities. Families from Cross Lake, Split Lake, York Landing and more have had to be evacuated to Winnipeg. Railroads have been flooded out, possibly not to be replaced, and for some communities railways are the

“I went to a community to talk about aboriginal ministry in Canada, and while I was there I learned of the dilemmas that people were facing in the communities surrounding Thompson and Churchill [M.B.],” said Dorothy Russell-Patterson, a community member. “I came back to our knitting group at the Iroquois Lodge and we all agreed we would put some of our efforts towards sending those com-

munities supplies.”

This is the second time the group has sent donations and handcrafted gifts to communities in need. The last time was in 2015. This year word of the initiative spread to knitting groups from; Simcoe, Hamilton, Caledonia, Kitchener, Waterloo, Galt, Preston, London, Six Nations, Windsor, Ancaster and a few others. All joined and began making and collecting donations.

“Because we did some-

thing similar a few years ago we know how the logistics work and who to contact when it comes to how the items will actually be delivered,” said Russell-Patterson. “That has all been taken care of and the items ship out on Friday.”

A thank-you luncheon was held on Tuesday, October 24, at the St. Peter’s Church Hall where representatives from each community involved came together.

“We wanted to take an opportunity to thank ev-

She and many of the donators said that they loved participating in this gift of love.

“It’s what we love to do and it’s what we’re all about when it comes to Christianity and outreach ministries,” she said. “We all love what we’re doing; we love knitting anyways and this was such a joy to organize and participate in.”

Men’s Fire awarded absolute discharge in Detlor assault case

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD — Brantford Justice of the Peace Peter Bourque upheld assault charges brought against William Monture and Lester Green, by Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) lawyer Aaron Detlor on Friday, Oct. 20. However, the two men were given absolute discharges.

The case revolves around an incident that happened in April of 2016 when Detlor was physically removed from his office at the Six Nations Grand River Employment and Training (GREAT) building by Monture, Green, and other men, and ordered to leave the reserve.

Detlor has been the center of controversy since organizing the Haudenosaunee Development Institute as an entity carrying out the legal issues, and forming partnerships that presumably is intended to be for the benefit of the people of Six Nations. Monture and

Green along with the rest of the local group known as the Men’s Fire, have tried on numerous occasions to gather information about the dealings of the HDI, but are not pleased with what they consider a serious lack of transparency on the part of Detlor and the HDI in general.

Their mistrust of Detlor and the HDI was exacerbated after a third party independent report into Detlor’s practices, retainer and legal fees, was leaked to the Two Row Times newspaper.

That report was scathing in relation to Detlor’s business practices and fees.

To date, no one outside of Detlor and a few Chiefs have seen Detlor’s retainer contract with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC), [and therefor, the people of Six Nations] despite many requests by Monture and others to do so.

“Today was the day of decision,” said Monture

and Green’s lawyer, Andrew Furgiuele, of the law firm, Doucette, Santoro, Furgiuele after the court ruling. Both gentlemen were found guilty of assault, but both men were granted absolute discharges.

Furgiuele went on to explain his interpretation of how and why the judge ruled as he did.

“For the finding of guilt, for assault, the trial judge made it perfectly clear that in this specific set of circumstances, my clients did not have the right to do what they did. But I think a closer read of the judgment makes clear that his honour brought into account concepts of First Nations governance, in the fact that these people have the right to take actions within their community that are necessary when they have the consensus to do so.

“In this case, his honour found that had not been met, but that is not to say that the Haudenosaunee people don’t

have the ability to find that consensus and take action within their communities to protect their land.”

But as far as the absolute discharge is concerned, during the proceedings Furgiuele framed the case in Haudenosaunee Law and by bringing Paul "Tekarontake" Delaronde into the case as a court recognized expert witness on Haudenosaunee governance.

His testimony laid out the traditional and historical ways of dealing with conflict within the Haudenosaunee, which was accepted by the Court.

Although much of Delaronde’s testimony was a historical background of Haudenosaunee law in general, the judge picked up on one thing that he considered relevant to this case in particular.

The judge agreed with the expert witness CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Accused murderer’s mom released on bail

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Sharon “Sis” Hill, the mother of accused murder Shawn Hill, who is still at large, was in Brantford court Friday for her bail hearing. She and two others, were arrested in connection with the murder of Dustin Monture.

The 27-year-old Monture died in hospital the day after being found in February on the lawn at a Tuscarora Road address where Hill resides.

At first, he was thought to have been severely beaten, but under closer examination at Hamilton General, where the victim was airlifted, it was discovered that he had been shot in the head as well and died the next day.

Six Nations Police have charged 39-year-old Aaron Martin, 40-year-old Sharon Hill and 37-year-

old Jeffrey Lee Martin, all of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory with accessory after the fact to murder.

"The Six Nations community is continuing to provide information surrounding the death of Dustin Monture. We are aware that other members in our community have direct knowledge of this homicide," said Chief Glenn Lickers of Six Nations Police Service. "I am urging them to contact the police and come forward. As a community, we owe it to Dustin's family. Let's help bring some resolution to this family that was struck by an unthinkable tragedy."

Monture’s mother, Roxanne Farmer says she and her family are not impressed with how slow the case is going, and are wondering why the suspected murder’s mother

was granted bail. Surety was given for $200,000 and Hill was allowed to leave.

"It's a mother's worst nightmare," said Farmer.

"I stayed with him to the end."

“I just don’t understand,” she said. “It was stated in court by the Crown that Sharon tried to pay off the other two arrested suspects to protect her son, but she is free?”

It also concerns the family that the Six Nations police report referred to Hill as a “Good Samaritan” in bringing Monture to hospital.

Although Hill was restricted from being in contact with the accused, Farmer says that is nothing compared with the fact that she can never see her son again.

Police continue their investigation howev-

er, Monture’s uncle, Bill Monture, still has many questions about several aspects of how Six Nations Police have handled the case.

According to Monture and other family members, forensic officers never visited inside the home where his nephew was found and never tried to ping his cell phone — even after relatives discovered that it was being used after Monture’s death. He also says police never asked for surveillance footage of Monture arriving at the hospital.

Six Nations Police Staff Sgt. Marwood White told reporters, “We do understand that the family has concerns, but it is an ongoing investigation and we don’t want to risk the integrity of the investigation.”

OPINION Work with millenials EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

We are plagued with a bad case of political polarization in this community. It is so 1985 — literal soap opera stuff.

Think ‘The Young and the Restless’ — The Abbots vs. The Newmans.

That “us vs. them” story is manufactured by spin doctors desperate to see their “side” win.

Win what though? Power? Authority? Supporters?

That seems to be the key word there: supporters.

The truth is the minute anyone on Six Nations takes their political opinions public — the spin doctors grade you as either a “band council supporter” or a “confederacy supporter”.

This is called polarization and it’s a game politicians play: create an enemy that you can save your supporters from. And boy are we ever getting duped by it.

Where I’ve shared my personal opinion on Six Nations politics I was called names like ‘Little Miss Band Council’ and told I was “bought and paid for” to be in cahoots with the sitting elected chief to “destroy the confederacy”.

As much as I do love the word cahoots, that narrative is a work of fiction by our spin doctors — manufactured to try and discredit my opinions and discredit the facts.

Here’s some non-fic-

tion for you. Six Nations does not support the HDI and the HCCC is not the second governing body of this territory.

Allow me to explain.

We are a mess. The HCCC is the historical ‘traditional’ governing body.

They were removed from authority and replaced by the Elected Council system at the request of community members who wrote letters to the Canadian government requesting a municipal style of governance.

To be clear: that is not my opinion. And I don’t think it was a good or bad thing. It is simple historical fact. And we have to face the facts of our colonization if we ever hope to break its chains.

Today in 2017, the HCCC — that body at Six Nations who owns a provincial numbered corporation, a second federal corporation and the HDI — represents a small contingent of Six Nations people. Not half, not most, definitely not all Haudenosaunee people in all 49 clan families.

This is also fact. The HCCC of Six Nations in 2017 wants to return to being the singular governing body of this territory with the support of all Haudenosaunee citizens.

Can the HCCC’s authority be restored?

Does Six Nations have a future where we aban-

Student captures 3rd Line bus fire

I was one of the students on the bus coming back from school (BCI, PJ, and Tollgate bus) when we came to the bend there were two bikes in the same lane as us; we were in the right lane.

As soon as they saw

the bus they tried to get out of the lane, one got out but the other was too late and hit the bus. The bus driver saw the fire and yelled at us to get out.

As we all get out of the bus the fire grew bigger — don't know what hap-

pen to the biker but all I know is that a helicopter came and picked him up.

We all moved out of the way from the bus as the ambulance, fire trucks, and police showed up.

Everyone was OK except the biker and me as I fell

Seeking unity from a people divided

By Doug Whitlow BA, First Nations Studies

The 1995 Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary defines unity as: [the quality or state of not being multiple or, Oneness].

On Friday, October 20 and again on Saturday, October 21, 2017; a small group of Six Nations community residents took part in a march across the reserve from Caledonia to Burtch with the intention of bringing unity to a community which is and has been, disunited, for more than 200 years.

One could argue that the Six Nations of the Grand River Indian Reserve came into being, due to the fact that the American War of Independence of 1775 had created a big rift in the structure of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy which resulted in Captain Joseph Brant and the men and women under his command leaving their homeland in the new U.S. and migrating northward into the safety

of Upper Canada.

In the late 1700s, Canada was divided into two parts, Upper Canada, which later became the province of Ontario and Lower Canada which later became the province of Quebec when the two Canadas united with several other territories and became a country in 1867.

When Joseph Brant and the people under his command and control arrived here in the Grand River Valley in the mid1780s the entire area including what is now Norfolk County; Haldimand County and the lands between here and the Detroit River were beginning to become populated with hundreds of other British colonists who had also left the U.S. due to being persecuted by their former friends and neighbours who had now become Americans.

The whole area of what we now call southern and southwestern Ontario had become a sanctuary for the hundreds, if not

thousands of British Loyalist refugees who were fleeing the tyranny in the U.S. As the British Loyalists began to arrive in the Canadas, the British Governor allotted land grants to men according to their rank in the British Army with high ranking officers receiving grants of 200 acres or more and those men of lesser rank receiving much less. In addition to land, each of the men and their families were supplied with start-up kits such as nails, axes, saws, plows and other necessary items required with which they were to improve the land each year with the ultimate goal of finally owning the land outright.

While it is true that the higher ranked British Officers received much more in the way of usable land and material goods than those lower ranked men, Brant and his Mohawk and other Indian soldiers and their families requested and

received the entire Grand River and all the land extending out for six miles on either side of the river from the river’s mouth to its source.

When one begins to look back at the history of the Six Nations of the Grand River, we begin to see that our local history is tied directly to the history of the U.S. as Brant and General George Washington and later (President George Washington) were brother officers in the British Continental Army of North America. History also shows that after Brant had set up his first government here in the Mohawk Village at Brant’s Ford and George Washington had set up his first government in the U.S., the two former British officers engaged in a great deal of correspondence via snail mail to work out many of the Indian problems and other governing difficulties between the U.S. and the existing Indian Tribes.

One of the most outstanding deals which Joseph Brant and George Washington worked out was allowing all the Indian tribes existing at that time to become sovereign nations from that time forever and no matter what happens [according to one modern former U.S. Naval Officer]. The former U.S. naval officer also said that in 1867 when Canada became a country the Fathers of Confederation would not allow the ‘forever and no matter what’ clause to be included in the terms of any agreements dealing with Canada’s native Indians.

And so, returning to this discourse on the subject of local Iroquois unity one could probably say that the Iroquois people of the Six Nations of the Grand River have been politically separated or disunited from the larger body of the original embodiment of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy ever since the early

days of the American Revolution of 1775 and have remained outside of that organization ever since.

The simple fact that the Six Nations of the Grand River is governed by a democratically Elected Council and has been governed in this fashion for well over 90 years should be a clear indicator that while unity may be something good for everyone, unity at the moment is just not attainable at this time. That is not to say that unity is unattainable; this is just to say that unity of the people here in this community cannot be attained by a single march or a single large event; unity must begin with an idea and a well thought out plan to move that idea forward in a continual manner for as long as it takes which means that those individuals involved today will still be involved tomorrow, next month, next year and onward well into the unforeseeable future.

Tribe calls Dakota Access ruling disappointing BISMARCK, ND — An attorney for the Standing Rock Sioux says a federal judge's decision allowing the Dakota Access pipeline to continue operating while more environmental study is done is ``disappointing.''

The $3.8 billion pipeline began moving oil from North Dakota to Illinois in June, but Judge James Boasberg ruled that month more assessment is needed on the project's impact on the tribe. He ruled Wednesday the pipeline can con-

tinue operating in the meantime.

Attorney Jan (yahn) Hasselman says Boasberg's earlier ruling made it clear the tribe wasn't properly considered when the pipeline was permitted. He says it shouldn't be allowed to continue operating while more study is done.

Hasselman says Boasberg's ruling isn't appealable. But the tribe and three others are still trying to shut down the pipeline through an ongoing federal lawsuit.

Mobile Cancer Screening La Landscape de Kanata unveiled Coach coming to SN

By Deena Klodt October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Reclaiming Well Being Committee welcomes the Mobile Cancer Screening Coach to Six Nations for free cancer screening including mammograms.

The Mobile Cancer Screening Coach will be at Iroquois Plaza on Oct. 30 and 31 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at Grand River Enterprises on Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Mammograms can find breast cancer when it’s small, less likely to have spread and easier to treat,” says Dr. Amy Montour, Aboriginal Clinical Lead for the Regional Cancer Program. “As a member of the Reclaiming Well Being Committee, a family doctor and community member, I highly recommend cancer screening as part of

people’s routine medical care.”

The 45-foot-long Coach offers tests to screen for signs of breast, cervical and colon cancer to those who qualify. Mammograms are provided through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP), Pap tests through the Ontario Cervical Screening Program (OCSP) and take-home fecal occult blood test (FOBT) kits through the ColonCancerCheck program.

The Coach is staffed by a registered nurse, medical radiation technologist and booking clerk, and features a digital mammography suite, private exam room, sitting area and wheelchair accessibility.

Mammograms are recommended every two years for women ages 50 to 74 with no signs of

breast cancer and Pap tests are recommended every three years for women ages 21 to 69 to screen for signs of cervical cancer. The FOBT screens for signs of colon cancer. It’s recommended that residents ages 50 to 74 with no symptoms or family history take this easy take-home test every two years. The Coach nurse distributes FOBT kits to those who quality.

Coach services also include smoking cessation referral for screening-age clients.

Call 905-975-4467 or 1-855-338-3131 to book your appointment. Dropins are also welcome.

Bell Memorial and Alexander Bell Gardens Centennial Celebration

By TRT staff

BRANTFORD – On July 26th, 1874, Alexander Graham Bell discovered the basic principle of what is arguably one of the most influential devices in modern history, at the Bell Homestead in Brantford — the Bell family’s first Canadian residence.

Two years later, the world’s first successful long distance telephone call was transmitted between Brantford and Paris, Ontario. Since that time, the City of Brantford has taken great pride in the inventor’s own reference to Brantford as “The Telephone City.”

In 1908, under the leadership of Brant M.P., W.F. Cockshutt, the Bell Telephone Memorial Association commissioned a bronze and granite sculpture to celebrate the in-

vention of the telephone in Brantford. Known as the Bell Memorial, the final design was awarded by international competition to prolific Canadian sculptor, Walter S. Allward. An outstanding sculptor of many of Canada’s finest monuments, Allward is best known for his masterpiece, the Canadian Vimy Memorial in France. The Bell Memorial was a precursor to the Vimy Memorial and is seen as the finest example of Allward’s early work.

Unveiled on October 24, 1917 by the Governor General of Canada, and in the presence of the inventor himself, the Bell Memorial depicts Bell’s discovery of the power to transmit sound through space.

As part of the “Brantford Celebrates 150” campaign, on October 24th, 2017, the descendants of

Alexander Graham Bell and representatives of Bell Canada joined Mayor Chris Friel, Brantford, Councillor Robert Johnson, Six Nations of the Grand River, Chief R. Stacey LaForme, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and Mayor Ron Eddy, County of Brant, for the rededication ceremony of the newly restored Bell Memorial, celebrating the monument’s 100th anniversary.

Mirroring the 1917 dedication, the public event began at 11:00 a.m. at the Bell Memorial at 41 West Street, and featured the signing of a rededication certificate and plaque unveiling.

Highlighting the festivities were selections performed from To Catch a Sunbeam, a musical about the life of Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of the

OPINION: Leadership must work with millenials continued from page 6 don the colonial construct of the band council system?

In hopes my message will not be spun by anyone, nor my voice muffled by labels — here is my admonition to the chiefs and clan mothers on Six Nations.

Stop the spin doctors.

Causing people to pick a side does not create supporters. Criticism is not hate. Praise is not love.

Reach us. Speak to the hearts of the mothers and fathers of this community. But you cannot claim to be fighting injustice when you are pushing something forward that is immoral.

Racism, exclusion from ceremony, labelling question askers

as disruptive, double standards, changing the rules, and not giving certain people names and clans is immoral. More of us are mixed race than are not and keeping us at bay or excluded is maintaining the colonial ways set forward by the destroyers.

If you want to govern and have support from the people you have to offer us something: security, safety, wellbeing — belonging. You cannot expect loyalty and patriotism based on the past actions of our ancestors.

How can millennials be supporters of a traditional system when it doesn't offer us all place of supportive non-judgement, and when it doesn't

guarantee us a way to prevent being oppressed by yet another governing body. Respect our differences and honour them.

Abandon the learned tradition of shaming us into complicity.

Men’s Fire awarded absolute discharge in Detlor assault case continued from page 3 [Delaronde] when he said that it was his opinion that these Criminal proceedings were not the appropriate way to deal with what happened and that he believed that the Haudenosaunee community should deal with it.

“I may have some sympathy with that view,” he said, ”but as this as this matter is properly placed before me, I must deal with it.”

He saw no evidence that the members of the Men’s Fire had the consensus of the people to act in this case and therefore ruled in favour of Detlor that there was an assault against him.

Defendant Monture testified that he believed that the members of the board should be selected by the community and not by the people [including Detlor] who were running the HDI. He was also unhappy with some of the specific development issues, and HDI’s handling of them.

Monture testified that in November of 2015, he also became unhappy with Detlor as he had purported to represent him in a land claims issue but took steps, which were not in accordance with the witness’ instructions.

Monture testified: “in March, 2016, at a meeting of the Men’s Fire, two Clan Mothers brought to the attention of the Men’s Fire their dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency in the operations of the HDI and specifically,

Lawyer Andrew Andrew Furgiuele celebrates with Men's Fire members Lester Green (centre) and Bill Monture (right ) what they are calling a win after having assault charges against HDI lawyer Aaron Detlor outside the Provincial court house in Brantford. Detlor had charged the men with assault after he was physically removed from his office after refusing to leave voluntarily when asked. The judge ruled that although the men are guilty of some form of assault, they were given an absolute discharge by a Brantford Court Friday. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE their belief that Detlor was largely responsible. They requested that something be done.”

“The witness [Monture] spoke of Detlor being in breach of his contract to take steps on behalf of the community with regard to specific land transactions,” stated the Court.

Co-defendant, Lester Green pointed out that, on a couple of occasions, HDI supported various actions taken by the Men’s Fire in furtherance of the objectives of the residents of the Six Nations. But over the past two years or so, there have been serious concerns about the actions of Detlor that affect all of Six Nations of the Grand River and beyond. Mon-

This blurry image surfaced showing Aaron Detlor being physically removed from the HDI offices in the GREAT building. The court found Men's Fire members guilty of assault for this but then awarded an absolute discharge. SUBMITTED PHOTO

ture admitted that the action against Detlor was to eventually take action against the HDI. Among their concerns was the inability to get public documents from the HDI and about being treated dismissively by the HCCC. Even after the incident, attempts were made to gather more information about the workings of the HDI, which were not forthcoming.

After Justice Bourque heard and considered all the evidence he also had questions about the organization and administration of the HDI. “The evidence is unclear as to who ‘controls’ it [HDI] beyond the wishes of the Confederacy Chiefs,” states Bourque.

Detlor was also leasing space within the space to HDI, which he used when he was acting as legal counsel to the HDI, but without any form of lease arrangement with anyone.

He went on to explain why, in spite of ruling the incident as an assault, in broad terms, the defendants were granted an absolute discharge.

“With respect to the sentences on them,” Men’s Fire lawyer Furgiuele said. “It was made clear that my clients are people that care about their community. They care about bettering their people; They care about strengthening the connections between themselves and their land and they are going to be the

opportunity to continue to put that stance forward. These are community oriented people and there is no sense or need at all for them to be punished any further, and that’s why he gave them an absolute discharge.”

Detlor would not speak with Two Row Times after the ruling, instead, moving a scrum of reporters into a private council room to offer his opinion on the ruling, outside of the TRT’s coverage. The photograph of Detlor being removed was on the front page of the TRT after the incident.

Monture and Green were very pleased both with their lawyer and the judge in this case, but find that they have more questions now about how Detlor and the HDI works, as revealed in testimony.

“I still wonder why the HCCC would approve of the HDI dragging us into the Provincial court system with this,” says Monture. “If they are really traditional they would never take their own people into a Provincial court, and then claim Sovereignty?

He believes that there was a lot of hidden information revealed in this case which need to be exposed to the community at large.

The Judge found some discrepancy in Detlor’s account of the events.

“I note that in his evidence, [Detlor] the witness said he was punched. In his statement to the police, he did

not indicate that he was punched. I find as a fact that he was pulled and shoved and manhandled, but I do not find that he was punched.”

Hazel Hill testified that she never saw Detlor punched or kicked, as he accused. Another witness, Brian Doolittle [a director of the HDI] testified that he too did not see Detlor punched or kicked, as Detlor had testified. Doolittle’s testimony is that Detlor was not assaulted in any way other than being physically removed. Other witnesses also discount Detlor’s claim of being kicked and punched.

Under oath, HDI secretary Janice Bomberry stated that Monture called out for more men to come, but in cross-examination, She admitted that she did not tell police that Monture said anything more than, “Come on Aaron.”

“I note that she has spoken to many other people about this matter in the meantime, [including Detlor and Hill]. “I will accept what she said to police two days after these events as her best evidence of what transpired that day,” said Justice Bourque.

Among other things, the Men’s Fire had accusation against Detlor of

a breach of a “Non-Complete agreement with Hodiseagahda Men’s Fire.”

Hazel Hill, Director of the HDI, testified that when the incident was taking place, she “ran down the hall and directed the receptionist of the HDI to call the police and she called their at-thetime communications consultant, Lynda Powless and the Turtle Island News.”

The exact amount she was being paid has never been revealed by HDI. Justice Bourque clearly stated, “There are two newspapers, one of which is critical of the HDI and the other which is funded by and supportive of the HDI,” said Bourque. “That the HDI felt it necessary to fund a newspaper to get its ‘views’ across to the Haudenosaunee people.”

The Men’s Fire has vowed to continue to seek transparency from the HDI regarding its operations and finances.

Although the HDI does have financial information posted on its Facebook and website, it is incomplete and does not answer important questions like who is getting paid, how much and for what.

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.

Medicine for curing pus in the body: “One has again discovered a matter,” said Joseph Williams, and aged Tuscarora in 1888. “It’s the new fashioned ka nu’ta. It is not that kind that sprouts up, where some living thing has been burned. It is another thing.

This then is the manner in which they discov-

ered this thing.

A certain man broke several of his ribs in the back, and then it began to rot in his body; a large amount of pus was collected. And then they bound him many times and they gave him a drink many times of all kinds of medicines. None, however could cure him.

And there was such a great quantity of pus in his body that his breath became so offensive that it was like a mortifying corpse.

Then, a certain person, an Oneida, made a power of some roots which he got at Nyu-tcir-hee (a new Tuscarora reservation in New York) and which he put into water, (in modern times, in liquor) in the proportions of ¼ lb. of root to a pint of water or liquor and he

gave it to him to drink, about a ½ swallow to a dose, four times a day. He drank it first, afterwards he ate his meals.

He was in a precarious condition when he begins taking the medicine. He was poor, appearing as though the skin stick to the bones. After a while he became better. The medicine ate the pus. So he continued to get better until he got well.

Now, this medicine, was able to cure a person who had a great collection of pus internally, i.e. in his body, but the kanu-ta cannot cure unless the blood shall be entirely fresh.

The habitat of this medicine is on the Tuscarora Reserve.”

The plant, not being seen could not be identified.

Safety tips that won’t rob the night of its fun OHSWEKEN. — Ghosts and goblins, little witches and skeletons — and more than likely the latest Disney princesses and comic book characters — will be roaming the streets come Halloween.

A scary as the subtext of Halloween may be, it’s not meant to be dangerous day. While adult costume parties are increasingly popular, it is still a day meant for the kids, and you want to do all that you can to keep it safe for them without taking the spirit of the day away.

“Halloween is such a fun time of year, with the costumes, parties and scary décor,” says Namita Gupta, Senior Marketing Manager for Rayovac at Spectrum Brands. “You don’t want to dampen that fun with an accident or emergency that could have been avoided by taking the right precautions.” ·Drive carefully. Ideally, you won’t have to get in your vehicle on Halloween. But if you do, remember there will be scores of excited youngsters roaming the streets, and they

could be darting out into the road unexpectedly.

Please pay attention. ·Keep an eye on those kids. Kids can be quick and crafty. To keep them from running out into the road unattended, sampling some candy you haven’t inspected or entering a stranger’s house, don’t divert your attention from their Halloween frivolity. ·Illuminate from within. The Jack O’Lantern is a time-honoured Halloween tradition.

Carve a scary face into the side of pumpkin, put

in a candle and voila! a creepy glowing scary face out front of your house.

But anytime you are using a live flame, like a candle, there is a risk of fire. Mitigate that risk by using small battery-powered lights to give your Jack its spooky aura. ·Light the way. No question, Halloween is best enjoyed after dark.

But it can be treacherous walking to streets with limited visibility after the sun goes down. Best to carry a small flashlight with you to ensure no tripping hazards are in

your path.

-Charge up. Taking the kids out trick or treating is the Halloween mainstay, the kids decked out in their costumes going door-to-door for some free candy. No doubt you will want to snap some pictures on your mobile phone, coordinate with the parents of your children’s friends, or — worst case — maybe even need your phone in the event of an emergency. It’s not a time you want to be running out of juice. Bring along a portable charger to ensure your phone is

ready when you are. ·Enjoy cautiously. For the kids, it’s all about the candy. Mini chocolate bars, bags of chips, rockets, molasses kisses … by the end of the night their treat bags are a veritable cornucopia of junk food.

Parents should closely inspect all of the candy the kids bring home on Halloween, looking closely for any evidence it may have been tampered with. It is also a wise idea to monitor how much they are eating to ensure it stays in balance with a relatively healthy diet.

Keely's Haunted Trail beckons

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – Keely's Haunted Trail, one of the most well-known Halloween attractions on Six Nations has been offering scares and fun for families in the area for five years during the season of trickor-treating.

Each year the trail seems to grow in size, design and the number of attendants.

But there is much more than meets the eye behind the scenes of this spooky and interactive trail ride.

Both Scott Hill and Tammy Point put together a lot of thoughtfulness and care into carrying on the trail.

“This year is our fifth year running, and it's crazy because it doesn't seem like it's been that long,” said Point.

After losing their daughter Keely in 2011, the two decided to fundraise to help pay off medical bills and the Ronald McDonald playroom built in her memory with the proceeds from the first and second trail and other small fundraisers in 2013 and 2014.

The trail has since become their main annual event and the hard work shows in the festive decorations and costumes which now help chosen families with

“We ultimately look for families that we can help, because our whole idea was

after we pay off this Ronald McDonald House we want to help families, because of what we had been through with our daughter. We were in the hospital with her and she lived for 18 and a half months, but in those months we probably spent

about five of them in the hospital.”

She explained that their daughter needed 24/7 care and had a lot of appointments, and with Point on maternity leave and Hill spending time away from his self-employment they

did find hardships.

“Which left us with all of these bills but no money to pay for them kind of, so [our family] ended up having a big fundraiser and the community helped us a lot,” said Point. “So one of the things that we be-

came grateful for was how the community helped us while we were going through that.”

With experiencing how tough life can become with piling bills and hospital visits, they chose to continue the trail to help offer funds to other families in need and began The Keely Louise Hill Foundation.

“After she passed we just thought, you know what, there's so many families that go through this,” she said. “You know, when their child is sick the last place they want to be is worried about work or paying your bills so, our whole idea with the foundation was that any money that we fundraise we give it to families kind of specifically, but not limited to families with children that have a terminal illness or a poor diagnosis. When something is terminal you want to be by your child as much as you can because you don't know how long they have or when the time will come.”

The money can go towards house payments, car payments, hydro bills, travelling expenses, meals and any other expenses that may come up to allow the family to focus on their loved one. Point explained that one year the money went to a girl with cancer, and another year the monCONTINUED ON PAGE 20

ey went to a boy that needed a home renovation to accustom medical equipment. And the familial and communal support grew.

“Scott had originally come up with the idea and we kind of just ran it by our family in hopes that people would jump on board,” she said. “My family itself is pretty big on Halloween so there was a lot of people on board with it. So we just kind of started it not really knowing if we were gonna do it year after year but everybody had fun. We had a really good turnout for volunteers, so it just kind of worked out and everybody started looking forward to it year after year.”

most three times a week.”

“It's not just about kids from Six Nations though,” he said.

Hill said that he was caught off guard this year by a girl from outside of the community in Brantford that came to volunteer by herself, simply because she wanted to help.

And amongst the students and youth that volunteer and learn work ethic, are also dedicated adults that simply want to help make the night special for youth and families that come to experience one of the five nights.

“So basically this is not possible at all without our volunteers from the com-

The planning for the event usually takes place in September, with different scene managers being chosen to partake in creating a skit or scare along the trail and volunteers filling the forest and decorating.

Hill explained that the support in putting the event on from both sponsors and volunteers has continued to be outstanding.

“Just from the outpouring of help that we had when we were in the hospital is kind of where the idea for The Keely Louise Hill Foundation sprung from,” said Hill. “I think one of the big things for us is when you see a group of people

come together. Our youngest volunteers were six and seven-year-old girls. Then we have a big group of high school students, and I think they're just here for their 40 hours, but after the first night they'll get dropped off at five o'clock and the attendance is great because everyone shows up.”

“And the big nights when everything is running there's gotta be close to 70 people here, I know that one time I counted and there were close to 49 people at one of our meetings,” he said. “The trail only runs for five nights and the prep goes on for like a month and a half, like easily. If not even a little bit longer, al-

munity, and majority of them are from the community,” said Point. “Like it wouldn't even happen.”

The first night for the trail attracted more than 350 guests, and both Point and Hill hope to accommodate everyone without having to turn away visitors at the end of the night by making efficiency of the trail a key component in this year’s edition.

“Last year we thought we had a lot in our first weekend, but we pretty much doubled it this year,” she said.

Although the ride wait might be a bit lengthy, with Halloween themed snacks to the left, a picture

booth for memories to the right and A Nightmare Before Christmas playing in the back, the time goes by quickly and offers an evening of memories and honouring a memorial.

“It is a legacy and it will never not be about her [Keely],” said Point. “It helps us too even just in our healing and even still it makes it seem like she's still with us a bit because her name is attached to it.”

Entry is $10 no matter the age, and you can check out this spooky trail on Friday, October 27, Saturday, October 28 and Monday October 30th (devils night).

The return of the Flat Earth theory

By Jonathan Garlow

Perhaps you haven’t visited the shady area of the internet devoted to conspiracy theories, but an outdated and disproven theory about the shape of the earth has been regaining ground on social media lately.

We aren’t speaking about cults like the Flat Earth Society here, famous people such as NBA star Kyrie Irving are saying the world might be

flat. Irving joined NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal in publicly discussing their beliefs about the nature of our world.

After facing public backlash, they both have backed away from their original statements.

Rapper B.o.B. says that we are not living on a globe. After releasing a song called “Flatline” January 2016, the rapper got into a twitter war with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. The

scientist’s nephew even released a ‘diss track’ in defence of thousands of years of research suggesting the earth is in fact a spheroid globe and in defense of his uncle Neil.

B.o.B. now has a crowdsourced funding campaign to ‘find the curve’ which he hopes to prove scientists wrong by launching his own satellites into space.

Finding a photo of the Earth's curve is a difficult task. The curve isn't visible until around 40,000 ft. Many go-pro cameras have a fish-eye lense which creates an artificial curve effect. Other jets have thick curved glass to protect the cockpit which makes photography difficult. This photo was taken from 70,000 ft and shows a discernable curvature of the Earth.

A general distrust of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) which has an annual $18.4 billion budget. That total may sound large but its only half a per cent of the $3.4 trillion U.S. federal budget.

The American military budget is $598.8 billion in comparison.

The rise of self-education via internet is also to blame. Combine this with the distrust we mentioned and you have a perfect storm for the Flat Earth Theory to come back from the dead.

If you study only YouTube videos you will be presented with shocking evidence that can be very misleading for those without a background in the subject. Let’s look at some of the “evidence” that is presented.

1.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem the earth’s surface curves an average of eight inches per mile (squared) or 784 metres for every

100 kilometres in metric.

Self-studied scientists are currently going bonkers with this fact and are using long distance camera lenses to “find the curve”.

Optical refraction plays a part in why we can see so far beyond the curve. Bill Nye even got involved on this one using lasers over a large lake.

2.

Air plane flights seem to follow the map of the Flat Earth (FE), which is also the logo for the United Nations (see that doesn’t help). Airline passengers travelling from Sydney, Australia to Santiago, Chile are routed through Vancouver or Los Angeles airports which seems really out of the way on a globe but is a direct path on the flat model. Flights from Johannesburg, South Africa to Redcliffe, Australia usually stops at Dubai which seems really out of the way. According to travel websites it is possible to buy a direct flight ticket. Conspiracy theorists claim that the 12 hour direct flights are impossible but airline pilots say they have done it. Additionally after 9/11 security has risen and passenger flights can be tracked on flightaware. com/live/ (see for yourself). At the time of writing there were 10,239 airborne aircraft over planet earth.

Buffy’s latest album out in November

By TRT staff

TORONTO – Since her groundbreaking debut, 1964’s It’s My Way!, Buffy Sainte-Marie has been a trailblazer and a tireless advocate.

The innovative artist shares a new song “You Got To Run,” a collaboration that features Tanya Tagaq and announces details of Medicine Songs, the follow-up to the Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Award-winning 2015 album Power in the Blood. Medicine Songs will be released November 10, 2017 via True North Records.

For more than a half-century, Sainte-Marie has been a disruptor of the status quo. In 1969, she made one of the world’s first electronic vocal albums; in 1982 she became the first Indigenous person to win an Oscar; When she was blacklisted and silenced

from American radio airwaves she joined the cast of Sesame Street and became the first woman to breastfeed on national television. She’s written pop standards sung and recorded by the likes of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes in addition to writing “Universal Soldier,” the definitive anti-war anthem of the 20th century.

Medicine Songs has been a lifetime in the making and is perhaps, Sainte-Marie’s most powerful gift. In a statement, Sainte-Marie describes the album: “This is a collection of front line songs about unity and resistance — some brand new and some classics — and I want to put them to work.

These are songs I’ve been writing for over 50 years, and what troubles people today are still the same damn issues from 30-40-

50 years ago: war, oppression, inequity, violence, rankism of all kinds, the pecking order, bullying, racketeering and systemic greed. Some of these songs come from the other side of that: positivity, common sense, romance, equity and enthusiasm for life.

I’ve found that a song can be more effective

than a 400-page textbook. It’s immediate and replicable, portable and efficient, easy to understand — and sometimes you can dance to it. Effective songs are shared, person-to-person, by artists and friends, as opposed to news stories that are marketed by the fellas who may own the town, the media, the com-

pany store and the mine. I hope you use these songs, share them, and that they inspire change and your own voice.

It might seem strange that along with the new ones, I re-recorded and updated some of these songs from the past using current technologies and new instrumentations — giving a new

life to them from today's perspective. The thing is, some of these songs were too controversial for radio play when they first came out, so nobody ever heard them, and now is my chance to offer them to new generations of like-minded people dealing with these same concerns. It’s like the play is the same but the actors are new.

I really want this collection of songs to be like medicine, to be of some help or encouragement, to maybe do some good.

Songs can motivate you and advance your own ideas, encourage and support collaborations and be part of making change globally and at home. They do that for me and I hope this album can be positive and provide ideas and remedies that rock your world and inspire new ideas of your own.”

Brantford man swears by flu shots War amps labels

best defense against the flu,” says Richard Hesch, public health nurse at the Brant County Health Unit.

Highly contagious, the flu virus spreads easily by direct contact or through the air by coughing and sneezing.

People six months and older can get the flu shot.

Getting the shot helps protect young children, older adults, pregnant women and other vulnerable people who are more likely to be very ill from the flu. “We say, ‘get the flu shot, get it early’ because it can take up to two weeks for the body to build up immunity after the vaccine is given, and you want to get that protection for yourself and others before the flu is in our community,” says Hesch.

NatioN News all our relations.

Saskatchewan Indigenous leader concerned Warm may deprive some areas of vivid red fall about fatal shooting of man by RCMP The Canadian Press SASKATOON — The head of an organization representing Saskatchewan First Nations is expressing concern following the fatal shooting of an Indigenous man by RCMP. Brydon Whitstone of the Onion Lake Cree Nation died after being shot on Saturday in North Battleford, Sask.

Bobby Cameron, chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, says he's been getting calls and messages questioning the details around the 22-yearold man's death.

Cameron says the shooting furthers the mistrust First Nations people have toward the justice system, and he adds there is also a lack of trust in the independent investigation that has been called.

RCMP said in a media release after the shooting that they had pursued a vehicle following reports of a man being chased and shot at.

The police chase ended shortly after the suspect rammed a cruiser and officers opened fire.

A woman who was also in the vehicle suffered minor injuries, was taken to hospital for treatment and then released back into custody.

One RCMP member was also hurt in the pursuit, taken to hospital, treated and released Whitstone's brother tells CTV Saskatoon that officers were pursuing the wrong car. ``The story of him being a suspect, of chasing a guy, is wrong,'' says Landin Blanko. ``It just so happens he was in a white, four-

door car in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was an innocent man, shot and being blamed for something he didn't actually do.''

Blanko believes his brother may have panicked when police began pursuing the vehicle. ``Brydon didn't do nothing wrong, but probably was scared,'' Blanko says. ``He's a 22-year-old kid. All of a sudden — boom — police come out of nowhere, chasing him out of nowhere. He had no idea what was going on.''

Cameron says he is left wondering what specifically led police to shoot Whitmore. ``The comments about 'in response to the driver's actions to the officers,' what does that mean?''

Cameron asked on a CKOM radio talk show on Monday.

He said he is worried

that RCMP may have been too quick to use lethal force. ``Does damage to a vehicle warrant to kill someone on sight?''

RCMP have turned over the investigation to the Regina Police Service. The review is to be overseen by the provincial Justice Ministry.

Cameron said the FSIN has long wanted to see First Nations represented at such investigations. ``The majority of people that are incarcerated are First Nations people.

Wouldn't it make sense to have one of our own First Nations legal experts involved in all these processes?'' he asked.

Cameron suggested involving First Nations people would be a step toward rebuilding trust in the justice system.

ly taking some steps but the pollution that these communities face is still outrageous,'' Saxe said. ``The Ontario government must make environmental justice part of its pursuit of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.''

Ontario Environment Minister Chris Ballard said the government agrees with Saxe that more must be done to support Indigenous communities.

The government is spending $85 million to clean up the mercury-contaminated English-Wabigoon River system near the Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong First Nations, Ballard said. The area has dealt with mercury poisoning since a paper mill in Dryden dumped

9,000 kilograms of the substance into the Wabigoon and English River systems in the 1960s.

Ontario is also working with First Nations and the federal government to resolve all long-term drinking water advisories in First Nation communities in the next five years, Ballard said. ``These efforts to support Indigenous communities build on our efforts to more broadly improve the relationship with Ontario's indigenous communities,'' Ballard said.

Saxe's report also highlights the plight of the Algonquin wolf in Ontario, saying that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is failing to protect the species at risk.

There may be as few

as 250 mature Algonquin wolves in the wild, the report said, and trapping and hunting remain major threats to the species' survival. ``Algonquin wolves are a unique, threatened, keystone species. They live only in Central Ontario and Southern Quebec,'' it said. ``The Endangered Species Act specifically prohibits killing of threatened species but the Ministry has stripped the Algonquin wolf of much of this protection.''

The report also warns that toxic algae is a growing threat to Ontario's lakes and that the province is relying on voluntary programs to limit phosphorus entry into the waterways.

Ontario must do more to address pollution in Indigenous communities: Watchdog report The Canadian Press TORONTO — Ontario must do more to address pollution affecting Indigenous communities, the province's environmental watchdog said in a report released Tuesday that sharply criticized the government for long ignoring the issue.

Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe said the province has turned a blind eye to pollution that's adversely affecting Indigenous communities like the Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong First Nations northwest of Dryden, Ont., and the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Sarnia, Ont. ``After decades of neglect the province is final-

colours: expert The Canadian Press

Unseasonably warm weather in parts of Canada may deprive some areas of one of their trademark natural attractions — rich fall colours.

A forestry expert says the vivid red leaves that draw crowds of tourists to areas of Ontario and parts of Quebec are triggered by bright sunshine combined with cold temperatures.

Sean Thomas, a professor of forest ecology at the University of Toronto, says trees start breaking down the chlorophyll in their leaves in the fall in order to draw out nutrients such as nitrogen and store them over the winter.

He says chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green colour, so as it is broken down, other pigments such yellow and orange are revealed.

Thomas says that process can produce other chemicals that damage plant tissues if exposed to UV radiation.

To protect leaves from UV rays, Thomas says red pigments — a trademark of sugar maple trees, among others — emerge as a type of ``leaf sunscreen.'' ``The need for that protection is even more acute under cold temperatures,'' he said. ``So those things together, high light plus cold temperature, also have evolved to be the trigger for synthesis of anthocynanins (red or purple pigments).''

This year, however, the weather conditions have disrupted the typical process. ``It's been unseasonably warm and so the trees haven't received the signal that they usually would have,'' Thomas said. ``And it's been a bit cloudy too.''

Some trees were set off by a bout of cold weather

in early September before the mercury rose again, but those that weren't are more likely to just turn yellow as they prepare for winter, he said.

If the leaves start to die before the tree can extract nutrients from them, in case of a sudden frost for example, then they simply turn brown, he said.

A drop in temperature now probably wouldn't do much to bring out the dramatic reds, Thomas said. ``There's kind of a time window when that can happen and that's probably passed now,'' he said.

The lack of bright fall colours, however, doesn't indicate poor tree health, Thomas noted. ``The fact that the trees aren't synthesizing the red pigments, that's not necessarily a bad thing for them,'' he said. ``It's a bad thing for tourism in the autumn, but it's not necessarily a signal that the trees are unhealthy.''

Trees aren't the only ones affected by the heat _ bugs are also missing their normal seasonal cues.

Insects that would typically have migrated south or prepared for overwintering by now, including mosquitoes and wasps, are sticking around longer, said Jeremy McNeil, a biology professor at the Western University in London, Ont. That could have a significant impact on next year's populations if some are caught unawares by a blast of cold weather, McNeil said. ``Whether that's good or bad will depend on what species it is and who you are,'' he said.

We may not mourn the loss of some insects, but a sharp drop in numbers can have a ripple effect on other species that feed on them or rely on them for pollination, he said.

Downie - the passing of a legend

By TRT staff Gord Downie quietly passed away on Tuesday, October 17.

He was known as the legendary front man for one of Canada's most prolific bands Tragically Hip, as well as a rock icon, writer, occasional actor and activist.

He passed from the aftermath of glioblastoma which is a brain tumour that holds one of the poorest survival rates of any cancer after his diagnosis in late 2015. After finishing “Man Machine Poem Tour” in 2016 as a decision to give the band a proper send off, he then went on to work on Secret Path.

Secret Path was created by Downie as 10 poems that were inspired by the story of Chanie Wenjack.

Wenjack was a 12-yearold boy that died trying to return to his family from Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora some 400 miles away from his home on October 22, 1966. Wenjack had tried to follow train tracks home but died of exposure.

Downie came into hearing the story of Wenjack from his brother Mike Downie, who shared the Ian Adams' Maclean's sto-

ry “The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack” from February 6, 1967 with him. The poems were then fleshed into 10 songs that connect with Canada's dark history and helps to light up a path for reconciliation.

When Downie pointed a finger at Canadians during the finale of the Man Machine Poem tour in his hometown of Kingston, Ontario, beseeching Canadians to “do something” to help repair the relationship with Onkwehon:we, there was applause. His performances to follow the final tour of his band were the kind of performances that made the audiences in WE Day concerts silent. His focus revolved around sharing Chanie Wenjacks story alongside Pearl Wenjack in mid-October of 2016.

The Secret Path inspired a film broadcast

by CBC in an hour-long special that aired on Sunday, and is accessible on cbc.ca/secretpath on the Road to Reconciliation panel discussion. While Secret Path arrived on Wednesday, October 18, in a deluxe vinyl and book edition, and a book with an album download created with the help of comic artist Jeff Lemire brought

Gord Downie posed with Pearl Wenjack, with a photo of Chanie on the right. SUBMITTED PHOTO Chanie to life with his illustrative prowess.

The proceeds from the sale of Secret Path will then go to the Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation through The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) located at the University of Manitoba. In other words, the funds will go towards the preservation of the history of residential schools in Canada, moving forward on the path of reconciliation and to finding the missing children.

and Downies are also raising money for the newly created Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund which operates out of the Toronto Foundation and focuses on cross-cultural education to support healing and has already received $14,000 in support.

Both Funds embody the Wenjacks and Downies commitment to improving the lives of Onkwehon:we, and hope to continue to make connections for reconciliation.

A statement from his family on the Gord Downie website provided some closure for fans: “Last night Gord quietly passed away with his beloved children and family

close by. Gord knew this day was coming — his response was to spend this precious time as he always had — making music, making memories and expressing deep gratitude to his family and friends for a life well lived, often sealing it with a kiss … on the lips.

Gord said he had lived many lives. As a musician, he lived “the life” for more than 30 years, lucky to do most of it with his high school buddies. At home, he worked just as tirelessly at being a good father, son, brother, husband and friend. No one worked harder on every part of their life than Gord. No one.

We would like to thank all the kind folks at KGH and Sunnybrook, Gord’s bandmates, management team, friends and fans.

Thank you for all the help and support over the past two years.

Thank you everyone for all the respect, admiration and love you have given Gord throughout the years — those tender offerings touched his heart and he takes them with him now as he walks among the stars.

Love you forever Gord.

The Downie Family.”

Heihei for Moana, no no for appropriation

By Chezney Martin With Disney's reputation for having a sensitivity block in offering good material that spreads outside of European cultures, many were wary of the reveal of their next blockbuster, Moana at the end of 2016.

But the selection of Auli’i Cravalho, a Hawaiian singer and actress from Kohala as the voice of Moana, and the choice of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson of Samoan ancestry as Maui, Disney seemed to cover all of the bases in their ability to bring forth a masterpiece.

And Polynesians were surprised.

These are some opinions collected by Buzzfeed Contributor Will Varner.

“I was rolling my eyeballs around and around in my head,” said Sina, 31, Samoan, Native Hawaiian, Japanese. “I felt like Disney was going to ruin it all again, like Lilo and Stitch, the other Hawaiian animation with an awesome soundtrack, but a weird, hard-to-relate-to storyline.”

“I was excited but also skeptical, I didn’t want the culture to get twisted and misrepresented,” Gina, 44, Samoan, Native Hawaiian, European, and Native American. “But I was happy that perhaps there would be a Disney princess who looked like my daughter since none of the other ones are really representative of her.”

“For Polynesians, this movie is a big deal,” Max, 29, Hawaiian, Chinese, and European. “This is a rare movie because it’s putting Polynesians front and center and giving Polynesian children a movie that they can see themselves in. That alone is priceless. Every culture deserves their screen time in my opinion.”

“I’m not sure if non-Polynesians understood that the movie is a portrayal of all of the Polynesian cultures, not one specific culture in particular,” said Sarana, 37, Samoan.

“Moana by far was the most incredible,” Setema,

40, Samoan. “Her heart, her desire, her strong will, and her unrelenting, unconquerable spirit allowed her to listen to her inner voice and go forward. She was so committed that she risked everything. They made her absolutely beautiful inside and out.

“I know it’s a Disney Princess movie and they want to instill power to the princess but in the Tongan culture women don’t become chiefs,” Nik, 28, Tongan and Caucasian. “I am sure they did a lot of thinking about it and I loved the movie overall, but coming from a Tongan background it was a little weird to have a female chief.”

“I think it is important to point out that many Polynesians changed opinions and reactions because there were a lot of active discussions and dialogue in our communities regarding the movie,” said Jessica, 37, Samoan, Niuean. “My initial reaction was 'oh great, another Lilo and Stitch nightmare. What is Disney exploiting this time for profit?' As the movie release got closer I had other questions: Why are they desecrating sacred things? Did they do their research? What’s with the dumb Maui Halloween costumes of full body with tattooing? It reminded me of the dumb sumo costumes that can be offensive to Japanese culture.”

Jessica brought up a good point.

The release of the Maui costume brought about an “aha” moment for Disney, as the realization that the wearers of the costume would be wearing Maui's skin, with the depiction of meaningful tattoo's, dark complexion and all. In other words, the children wearing the costume would be appropriating culture and the notion that “skin is not a costume.”

The costume itself showed Maui's tattooed skin and upper body in a long t-shirt form, a rope necklace, brown trousers and a skirt made of leaves. This pushed Dis-

ney to remove the controversial costume after being called out.

“The team behind Moana has taken great care to respect the culture of the Pacific islands that inspired the film, and we regret that the Maui costume has offended some,” Disney said in a statement. “We sincerely apologize.”

However, many other costumes remain on the shelves that can and

will offend people of colour and ethnicity, even though they are protested. Be mindful in your selection this trick-ortreating season.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY’S FUTURE

Canadians are once again screaming and throwing tantrums over the original people refusing to be stereotyped. The cries of ethno-policing and cultural appropriation are put into articles dripping with contempt that other people’s worldviews have to be accommodated.

Now when a holiday like Halloween is upon Canada, instead of ghouls or goblins, apparently, non- First Nation children are having their “dreams” crushed if they are unable to portray themselves as Indian princesses.

Where did this idea of Indian princesses come from?

When the settler colonizer invaders landed in North America they brought with them tainted viewpoints that everything functions as a hierarchy. The quickly ascertained that one First Nation leader was naturally, the “chief” and spokes-

person and his family was Indian “royalty”.

Non-natives did not seem to understand the idea of communal headman or equality, because they came from a background of hierarchies and royalty. Furthermore, the settlers believed their worldview and experience denoted progress and a “civilized” order of thinking.

If this is true, then why was it necessary for the settler invaders to flee to a “new” country? Why was it necessary for the settler invaders to make “equality” of all men a tenet of their constitutions?

If all men are “created equal”, does that mean, equality is defined as an oppositional position to the known hierarchy of man made governments and church institutions of the old country?

Is it not more reasonable that men, who never understood what equality truly was, now could not recognize that true equal-

ity existed in the worldview, governments and institutions of the First Peoples, they encountered in North America?

There exists a chasm between what non-natives understood as truth and what was in fact a universal truth before their very eyes.

This misconception has lead to the gulf between the First Nations and other “cultures”. Misconceptions piled on top of each other increase the gulf until it is a cesspool that is difficult to navigate.

This cesspool has surfaced just before Halloween through writer Kate Jaimet. Her only “inkling” of distinct “races” happened when her daughter tried to dress up as an Indian princess and was told it was “offensive”.

This argument and realization often surfaces at Halloween. It is a time for non-native people to get pseudo offended if they CONTINUED ON PAGE 32

A late period surge by the Corvairs with goals by Jesse Barwell at 15:48 followed by what would hold up as the game winner scored by Mark Bzowey at 19:27 determined the outcome.

another in the second and Matt Watson made it a 5-2 Caledonia win.

The St. Catharines Falcons host the Corvairs this Friday, Oct, 27th and welcome the Thorold Blackhawks at the Haldimand Centre Arena at 7:30 p.m. Then next Tuesday, Ancaster is in Caledonia.

ANAHEIM – Six Nations’ Brandon Montour recorded his second goal of the season plus an assist in the Anaheim Ducks’ 6-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens, Friday night at the Duck Pond.

Montreal (1-6-1) set a Canadiens record with 30 shots on goal in the second period alone, but lost its seventh consecutive game to tie its worst eightgame start since 1941.

The record for shots in a period was 27, most recently matched in the first against the Ottawa Senators on Dec. 12, 2015.

Obviously, Gibson was sensational, especially in the second when Montreal threw everything they had at him, scoring two goals on 30 second period shot.

"That was the best start we've had this year," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said after the game. "We're going to have to start more games like that. I'm not suspecting we're scoring three goals in the first period every time, but we have to show that energy, that

spark and that grittiness to go out and compete."

Montour, Grant, and Wagner scored 97 seconds apart in the third period for a 6-2 lead.

Montour drew a penalty, but before the Ducks went on the power play, Kevin Bieksa took a slap shot from the point but broke his stick. The puck skittered to Montour in the left faceoff circle where Montour let loose a bad-angle one-timer that beat Price just under the crossbar on the short side for a 4-2 lead.

Montour posted the first first multi-pointer of his NHL career picking up an assist as well.

He will have plenty of chances to add to that this week as the Ducks have four games in six days, starting with Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Thursday, Oct. 26 in Florida with the Panthers, Saturday night in Tampa, and Sunday in Carolina.

Cam Fowler went down with an injury, which may produce more ice time for Montour until he gets back in the lineup.

Six Nations Atom No. 2s shut out Norwich

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – Jozy Jacobs carried his Six Nations Atom Intertown No. 2 Blackhawks to a 4-0 win over the visiting Norwich Atoms at the Gaylord Powless Arena in downtown Ohsweken, Saturday afternoon.

Jacobs was, by far, the best player on the ice on

this given Saturday, however goaltender Jarren Henry deserved the shut out. Although he did not face the number of shots his counterpart at the other end of the rink had to deal with, when called upon he was there.

The Blackhawks set the pace early when Jacobs netting his first goal 38 seconds into the game,

unassisted. Jacobs added another unassisted marker two minutes later as Norwich tried to gather its balance and held on to stop the bleeding at 2-0.

Norwich had a good second period and held Six Nations off the board, but could not beat Henry for a scoreless second period.

Six Nations found a lit-

tle luck in the third when Jacobs flittered a bouncer that handcuffed Warren Songhurst in the Norwich net with less than three minutes remaining.

Tyden Kohl Garlow assisted.

Jacobs completed his day’s work with 58 seconds left with another unassisted goal to make it 4-0.

By Jim Windle The Jr. C Hagersville Hawks will be looking for a much-needed win when they travel to Glanbrook Wednesday and to Dundas Thursday. That is not too likely considering Glanbrook leads the division with a perfect 12-0-0 for 24 points. Dundas is in forth place with 6-5-0.

The Hawks are coming off two shutout losses, including a 5-0 goose egg against Grimsby last Saturday, which was followed by a 3-0 loss Sunday against the Simcoe Storm.

Last Thursday they were able to squeeze out a single point after a 4-4 tie with Niagara after no decision was made after an OT period.

The Hawks are slow out of the gate so far this season and are deep in the basement of the South Bloomfield Division with a 2-7-1 record for five points. The good news is the Simcoe Storm is only one point ahead of them, but has played three more games than Hagersville.

Canada over U.S. at Heritage Cup Box Lacrosse

Submitted article from the CLA HAMILTON – The Canadian national box lacrosse team earned an impressive 19-6 win over the U.S. at the 2017 Heritage Cup game in Hamilton, Ontario on Saturday night. The four-time defending world champions kept their unbeaten streak alive, improving to 24-0 on the international stage since 2003.

Mark Matthews led the charge with three goals and five assists, while Curtis Dickson added four goals and three assists of his own. Team

captain Dan Dawson, along with Shawn Evans, Dhane Smith and Ryan Benesch, also contributed offensively with two goals apiece.

“To play with such talented guys is an honour,” said Team Canada defender Paul Dawson.

“It's special to put on the Canada jersey, but to win on that floor in front of friends and family is even more special.”

Dawson and his teammates did a tremendous job keeping some of the sport’s biggest names in check, including field lacrosse superstars Rob Pannell, who got an assist

“This is the first time the Canadian indoor team has played in Ontario since 2003,” said head coach and Hamilton native Eddie Comeau.

“That’s a lot of years to be on the road, so to play at home is a great opportunity for our fans to see some of the best lacrosse players in the world.”

The inaugural Heritage Cup game took place in Mississauga, Ontario in 2002, and saw the U.S. defeat Canada by a score of 21-16. The Canadians bested the Americans

two years later in 2004, winning 17-8 in Denver, Colorado. After a short hiatus, the event returned to Montreal, Quebec in 2013, where Team Canada defeat the Iroquois Nationals in a nail-biter, 12-11.

“I think this event is great for both teams,” added Comeau. “It was great for the U.S. as it gave them a chance to get together a lot earlier than they ever have. We saw some great things out of them. They have some great players and are gonna be even better when the world championship rolls around.”

Join Ontario’s most dynamic team of new media makers!

No more Cowboys & Indians continued from page 28 are told that indigenous peoples’ cultural wear is not simply a costume or get up. For some original peoples cultures, there is spiritual or ceremonial significance in their wear or way of dress.

“Native dress” can signify a way of life. The clothing or style of dress can carry laws or homage to the original ancestors of this Great Island. Can this reasoning, the lesson that carries a spiritual worldview, rich with language and ceremony be effectively measured or valued with non-native comparators?

This is the continuation of the reconciliation argument that never ends.

Non First Nation choose to say that they are “honouring” the original people when they wear dress that is distinctly “native”.

So, if our native kids choose to dress up as Klu Klux Klan members, or the 1% or with a sign that says white privilege or taxpayer, would it been seen as offensive? Is this white “cultural” appropriation?

People without “culture” are more likely to believe that other actual cultures can be put on like a pair of Peter Pan pants. The actual original peoples or indigenous cultures are based on languages, spirituality, ceremony and separate governances or ideologies that are not for show or for stereotyping. If the “dominant” Canadian “culture” cannot define or understand itself; how can it understand an al-

ternate culture?

Non Indigenous Canadians also state that the original people of this country are now part of the “Canadian” identity.

This is not true. Canada is the younger country or state so in fact, Canada is part of the original people’s country.

While many may also dismiss or limit the severity of wearing and mocking native people at Halloween or sporting events, this is the threshold behavior of a larger issue. The underlying tone, that First Nation people have a culture that is assailable is the basis of Canadian museums, history and legitimacy.

When we begin to see the rationale behind the belittling, the ugly part of Canadian history rears its head. It is the lie of reconciliation. This lie is expanded in the “need for an Indian affairs department and a historic racist piece of legislation in the “Indian Act”.

Currently, while Trudeau and the federal government pontificate about the need for change, reconciliation and nation-to-nation agreements, the stereotyping and lies are carried to a national and international level. Trudeau cannot account for the unfair accounting practices off and on reserve for child welfare funds. He can say that he needs more information, ignoring the Penner, Royal Commission on Aboriginal peoples and countless other reports.

Why does the federal government continue to require information for

the imposed poverty and negligent circumstances the First Nation people now currently live in? Is it because they know their culpability? Is it necessary for the First Nations to directly implement class actions against negligent federally imposed policy and legislation to prove that genocide is not part of section 35?

Section 35 of the Constitution was raised to protect the original peoples rights in Canada.

The idea that Section 35 is an empty box is the in the heads of the federal government, while the original people each carry the ancestral memory, obligations and responsibilities that our ancestors always wanted for the future of their people.

That future our ancestors foresaw is our now.

We, as the descendants, have obligations to stand against continued federal genocide.

We, as the descendants, have obligations and responsibilities to uphold the original teachings, beliefs and value systems of our ancestors.

We, as the descendants, must continue to speak out against the tyranny and oppression faced by our people across this land.

It may start as an innocent child wanting to play “Indian”. It should result in children learning that being “Indian” meant residential schools. This is reconciliation. We the original people will no longer play “cowboys and Indians”.

The skyline of Toronto is visible 50km away from Niagara-on-the-lake across Lake Ontario. Depending on who you ask this is evidence for or against the Flat Earth Theory. SUBMITTED PHOTO tions or is simply mysterious. Why don’t they just show the Globe Earth in one unedited image? Instead of dumping the go-pro cameras when the fuel tanks drop off spacecraft they should release the footage of an actual rocket entering space and put the whole thing to rest.

Instead their live feeds are suddenly stopped, wires and harnesses are visible on the ISS, and bubbles are visible during spacewalks. The “Blue Marble” picture of earth is an iconic image that we are all familiar with. NASA admitted it is a high-resolution composite by Data Visualizer and Designer Robert Simmon. Every image they have ever released is either CGI or has been edited in Adobe Photoshop apparently. More raw images and less Gaussian blur would be nice.

There is a mountain of evidence refuting the Flat Earth Theory but in a quick conversation you can mention a couple facts that make the

FE impossible.

According to the FE worldview Antarctica is not a continent but a 150-ft. ice wall which acts as a ring-like barrier preventing humankind from reaching other lands. Filmmaker Anthony Powell captured a 24-hour time lapse video of the summer sun of Antarctica which happens for a few weeks around December 21 and also in June. This evidence creates a huge problem for the FE Theory because they believe the sun and moon are 32 miles in diameter circling 3000 feet above the earth like a child’s mobile toy.

Another fact that blows the old FE Theory out of the water is an effect called Coriolis. Long range snipers take into account for the spin of the earth, as do I when I miss my shots at deer 200 metres away. Hurricanes rotate counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s science.

In 1980 when Mt. St. Helens volcano erupted the plume of smoke reached 31 km (101,700 feet) into the atmosphere. The earth is rotating at a speed of 1670 km per hour. I have no idea why the column of smoke appears to rise in a straight line. If two airlines travel around the earth in opposite directions shouldn’t the flight going against the spin of the earth arrive faster? Apparently not.

Just because I personally don't understand these problems does not mean that the scientific method is wrong.

Neil deGrasse Tyson had a great scientific TV show called Cosmos which was cancelled after only one season.

After 199 original episodes Keeping Up with the Kardashians is on season 14 and that pretty much sums up everything we need to know about society and the current state of humanity.
