By Jayson Koblun

BRANTFORD – Following the completion of the exterior renovations, Phase 1 of restoring the Mohawk Institute in Brantford is wrapping up.

“Phase one included the roof, porch, pillars — the overall facade of the old building,” said Carlie Myke, outreach co-ordinator of the Woodland Cultural Centre. “The building is being restored to how it was built in 1904.”

Myke said there are three phases to the project. Phase 2 will consist

of upgrading the mechanical infrastructure of the old building.

“Next up is the mechanical systems; heating, cooling, vents, those kinds of things. None of these have bene updated since the 1940s or ‘50s,” said Myke.

Phase 3 will revolve more around how the centre is going to use the new space and updated building.

“That’s when we decide on what curriculum based programming we will include, layout of the building, how we use the space,” said Myke.

TORONTO — Charges against one of two Ontario police officers charged in the death of a 39-year-old Indigenous woman have been dropped.

In July, Ontario's Special Investigations Unit charged Const. Mark McKillop of the Ontario Provincial Police and London, Ont., police Const. Nicholas Doering with one count each of criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life.

The Crown dropped the charges against McKillop on Monday, but no reasons were given as Doering's case returns to court on Dec. 6.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND — The NFL player who started the take a knee movement was honoured by American indigenous activists in a ceremony last week.

Colin Kapernick left the NFL for controversy surrounding his kneeling during the National Anthem as protest to the social injustices and police brutality towards people of colour in the US after police shot and killed Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Kapernick was in attendance on Alcatraz Island for the annual Indigenous Peoples Sunrise Ceremony where he was welcomed and gifted with eagle feathers straight off a local and highly respected elders regalia — one of the highest honours for an ally to receive.

Kapernick thanked the elder and spoke to the crowd present, saying the fight against injustice and for freedom is empowered knowing all marginalized persons are fighting together.

The changing landscape of the media

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – American media mergers have set off a wave of buy-outs, corporate takeovers and forced closures here in Canada. Some believe this will sacrifice independent news reporting for corporate sponsored and centrally driven news giants. But this trend may not be bad news for those of us who operate outside of the reach of media monopolies.

National and regional 24-hour news TV and live streaming has made even the daily newspaper reports on large national stories redundant by the time they hit the streets.

When these conglomerates gulp up smaller papers like a shark takes in a school of minnows, those that miss the chopping block will now subin advertising and stories from the network.

It’s cheaper and easier to pool stories and advertis-

ers together.

It’s not only happening here in Ontario, Canada and North America, media mergers and closures have been happening throughout the world.

Many fear the ultimate end could conceivably be to control the masses.

Maybe there is some truth behind the old phrase, “Control the media and you control the masses.”

But without the local community newspaper, something is lost from the sense of community many smaller markets have known. This is just another sign of a changing landscape of the news industry. Rather than watching out and protecting the freedom of the press, we could soon be dealing with issues of “freedom from the press,” if these mega-mergers continue.

The latest mass-merger is estimated to close as many as 36 community weekly newspapers.

“Postmedia Network Inc. and Torstar Corp. announced Monday they plan to close 36 papers in places where their newspapers used to compete,” according to a Postmedia press release.

“All-told, the merger affects 34 papers in Southern Ontario, one in Winnipeg and one in Vancouver, eliminating 291 jobs and save each company between $5 million to $7 million annually.

Freedom of the press is under attack today in North America like never before and that is why the locally owned and operated news outlet will survive much longer than the gargantuan juggernauts, who need to feed thousands of people every day.

Their efforts to cut their losses and send hundreds of journalists, pressmen, photojournalists and office workers to the unemployment lines just before Christmas, will produce several small, independent newspapers to fill the void and possibly flourish while big-media has no way to fix itself. Cutting into the bone can only be a temporary Band-Aid on the much bigger problem.

Even Postmedia executive chairman and CEO

Paul Godfrey called it a sad day for the newspaper industry.

“What makes this particularly difficult is that it means we will say goodbye to many dedicated newspaper people. However, the continuing costs of producing dozens of small community newspapers in these regions in the face of significantly declining advertising revenues means that most of these operations no longer have viable business models,” said Mr. Godfrey.

“The growing strength of digital giants has caused seismic shifts in the allocation of advertising revenues — putting all media companies under massive pressure,” said Andrew MacLeod, President and Chief Operating Officer, Postmedia.

“Our digital strategies are showing promising signs but we must take all possible actions in order to give these new initiatives time to grow momentum

while managing the decline of legacy revenue streams and their associated costs.”

The properties acquired by Postmedia from Torstar include the Brant News.

But as a Native News outlet that also covers regional news and sports, and is free to the reader, distributed throughout not only Six Nations but several surrounding counties distributed on more than 400 newsstands, and more than 15,000 followers online, has positioned the TRT in exactly the right place at the right time, making the TRT the best spent advertising dollar.

Our wide and growing circulation with a loyal and active readership is making us the leader in weekly Native News in Ontario, at the same time when major media outlets are floundering.

On t ar io moves to allow on r e s er ve s chools to grant degrees TORONTO — Ontario is moving toward allowing Indigenous post-secondary institutes to independently grant students degrees and diplomas.

A legislative change that would allow for the first step in that process was contained in the Liberal government's fall economic update bill, but the advanced education and Indigenous relations ministers highlighted it in an announcement today.

The province's nine Indigenous governed and operated post-secondary institutions currently offer degree, certificate and diploma programs in partnership with colleges and universities.

The legislation would allow for the creation of an Indigenous council, which would approve diploma, certificate and degree programs at Indigenous institutes.

The government is also putting $56 million over three years toward expanding the capacity of Indigenous institutes.

Rosie Mosquito, who is the chair of the industry association for those institutes, says the changes will empower more Indigenous students to learn in culturally and linguistically responsive First Nation environments.

Cannabis expert off hook RAPID CITY, SD — A cannabis cultivation expert who was prosecuted in South Dakota after working with the Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe to open the nation's first marijuana resort will see his drug case dismissed.

A sentence handed down Tuesday for Jon-

athan Hunt caps the state's prosecution. Hunt was working with the Sioux on an ``adult playground'' that was estimated to generate $2 million a month in revenue for the tribe.

The plan for a resort north of Sioux Falls was ultimately abandoned

after fears of a federal raid culminated with the tribe burning its marijuana crop in 2015.

A state judge allowed the case to be dismissed and the record to be sealed after instead issuing Hunt $500 fine and about $100 in court costs.

Now that our treaties are the supreme law of Turtle Island; trespassing, harassment by police, and politicians take on a more serious threat to colonialists in their practices of alienation, and harassment — acts of oppression and suppression of native peoples.

I am speaking directly to the 542 years of recorded genocide enacted against us native peoples. The genocide is in every aspect of our lives,

before birth and even after we have passed on, our names are used to commit acts of crimes such as forgery, creating fraudulent documents, such as my status card having been recorded to have been replaced more than one hundred times when I have only replaced my status card twice.

I still had a status card that didn’t have an expiry date. It was stolen.

Then I lost my status

card at the taxi office — go figure. That is to say I had three, and with the new legislation requiring an updated status card (which is to say I am a Treaty Native) that makes four.

And now I heard through the grapevine we are about to get a chip-secure status card with who knows what will be on it. Voice Recognition, “Parker” size, or blood test. Who knows?

Pocahontas is a lie EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW

Donald Trump is totally unable to grasp why Pocahontas is a racist term and probably even believes he is “honouring” U.S. Senator Elizabeth who responded by calling Trump's remark a "racial slur."

This editorial isn’t for Trump — he is beyond help. This is for the rest of you who maybe don’t get it, but are willing to understand.

Thomas King wrote about “two kinds of Indians” in his book, The Inconvient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America. The first he calls the “Dead Indian” which is a figment of the American people’s imaginations, this is the race of noble savages that you’ve probably seen in the movies.

“Dead Indians” are the one-dimensional sub-humans that dance around fires and who gave away their country to the U.S. for free. These days you can find them on sports jerseys, like Cleveland’s and Washington’s. Everyone is proud to have a "Dead Indian" as a greatgreat grandmother but no one wants to actually be one. They exist only in Hollywood and Never-Never Land.

The second kind is the “Live Indian” which are the kind Americans do not want in America. These are the people that live on reservations, block roads and demand treaty rights. Live Indians speak English exceptionally well, are on social media — some prefer luxury vehicles. Live Indians stop pipelines.

"In order to maintain the cult and sanctity of the Dead Indian, North America has decided that Live Indians living today cannot be genuine Indians."

Thus, "Live Indians" suffer not only from the "annoyance" of being invisible, but also from the "crushing" burden of being "inauthentic," says Thomas King.

This is specifically why Trump is trying to rebrand us as “Dead Indians” when he invokes the racist label Pocahontas.

First of all, Disney’s poor attempt at an adaptation of Pocahontas is so horribly inaccurate that indigenous people should launch a class action lawsuit against the film company for the $346 million Disney grossed for their part in cultural genocide.

We need to hold people accountable.

Jim Pentecost was responsible for producing this atrocity. Disney’s Pocahontas was written by Carl Binder, Susannah Grant, Philip LaZebnik who like James Fenimore Cooper before them did their very best to totally revise history according to their own whims and fancies.

The real story of Pocahontas is a grim account of the abduction and rape of 10-year-old Matoaka of the Powhatan east coast peoples who were located in what is now Virginia. For a historical review see the article Matoaka is her name by Chezney Martin on page 20 in this issue. Pocahontas roughly translates to “naughty one.” This children’s film reflects the subtle pedophilia being suggested by the corrupt Hollywood film industry. Pocahontas shouldn’t be a child’s animated adventure it should be an actual horror movie.

Matoaka was not naughty. She was a victim of colonization, cultural genocide and imposed patriarchy and what makes matters worse Disney made a movie glorifying the child-abduction and claiming it was love. Now she is immortalized as a real “Disney Princess” and became the fairy godmother to a billion guilty Americans who want their conscience massaged.

Dear President Trump and the U.S.: Your Pocahontas is a lie.

When Donald Trump calls Native American Senator “Pocahontas” he is invoking 525 years of false narrative.

What he is really saying is “Your people were defeated in the war,” which is not true – Smallpox got us. When Trump says “Pocahontas” he is really saying “European-Americans are not immigrants,” which they are. When Trump says “Pocahontas” he is trying to say “We are superior to you.”

How ironic that Trump insulted American Veterans – the Codetalkers even – all while standing near a picture of Andrew Jackson, his spiritual forefather, colonizer and the evil genius behind the Trail of Tears. Jackson murdered at least 15,000 native people with legislation he passed in 1830.

Trump can take a knee.

To the face.

By Quin Staats Throughout the past two years, I've been mentored and taught on how to pray to Creator, our grandmothers and grandfathers, for guidance and answers I may be seeking.

One thing that gives me goosebumps every time during these processes of questions and finding the answers, is the way we receive the answer. It always seems magical, a cryptic fantasy mystery that, once solved, holds so much more knowledge than you ever even knew you were looking for.

Ask, and you shall receive — but what they don't tell you is that receiving isn’t always so simple or set in stone. However, once you finally see these answers (usually found within) the bounty is tenfold.

A long time ago, I asked Creator for the answer to a question I thought of often. I am now receiving the answers, and realizing that I had been receiving them all along, even though it felt like I was still searching. I guess that was a part of the plan.

The answer to my specific question was rather

Deer Spirit a series of realizations, as opposed to something that came in a simple sentence, or single phrase.

My question ... what is my spirit animal? Seems simple, right?

There's been two separate sweats in which I asked for the answer, as well as numerous times in personal smudge, prayer and ceremony.

However, the answer never fully came crystal clear to me. I figured to never try to force it, and let the answer come when it was supposed to, when it was meant to be received.

More recently, I've had countless friends and family casually mention the encounters they have

Why would this be so?

I then decided to read more into the Deer and its medicine, of what it represented.

I discovered that the Deer is a symbol of gentleness, kindness and grace in all motion and thought. It is a symbol of connection to our families, Mother Nature, Woodland Goddess and a symbol of an appreciation for the beauty of balance.

And that's when it all clicked.

The Deer wasn't visiting me because I am the Deer. It was gracefully watching over and protecting my loved ones. It was providing them with its medicine, my medicine, our medicine. my “If the Deer is my Like partner spirit animal, why in crime it had hasn't it visited me?" — my back when I all been having with Deer couldn't be there.

Chemical Valley: pollution in the Aamjiwnaang territories Contributed by Brandon Jank The health affects in Chemical Valley and amount of pollutants found in the water, soil and air, thanks to more than 100 years of Industry and its toxic legacy, are virtually unknown.

The repeated refusal from the Ontario Government to fund efforts for a conclusive study on the territory is not helping the situation at hand.

Chemical Valley has the worst air in Canada. Just that fact alone makes it clear there are statistics that would be uncovered, both Industry and Government would much rather those statistics remain hidden.

Imperial Oil, one of the large companies stationed in the area, released a mas-

sive flare without warning last February. As a result, massive amounts of sulphur were released. When mixed with Oxygen this creates Sulphur Dioxide, which causes irritation in the nose, eyes and throat depending on the severity of the exposure. With prolonged exposure, it can

cause long-term damage to the respiratory system and vascular damage in the veins of the brain, heart and kidneys.

Today, the community affected most has no answers as to what actually occurred that night and ensuing days. Even though the flaring was deemed 'excessive', Imperial has refused to address the implications of expelling such a massive amount of pollution and toxic emissions in such a short period of time stating that the sinister photos of what looked like a refinery set ablaze was 'normal' and 'an optical illusion’.

The supposed 'flare' started roughly around 6 p.m. and raged on for another five hours. After another 10 days of periodic, above average flaring, the problem was fixed on March 5. According to Imperial, there was no problem, but in the same sen-

tence assured the public that whatever ‘it’ was, was fixed.

Maybe it's just me, but if something needs to be 'fixed' a problem has likely occurred. The lack of disregard lays in the disaster, but the carelessness and lack of accountability will always lay in statements made to the press after the fact.

This is just one of many instances of careless disregard for human and environmental health caused

by Big Oil. The worst part of these spills and disasters is that it is often local daycares that notice first. In other words, Aamjiwnaang's children are the first to be affected by a deadly cocktail of volatile chemicals that eventually spread to the community.

Shell also had a major spill in January of 2013, containing Benzene, a well known carcinogen, unsafe

at any level of human consumption. A weak, innocuous apology emerged, devoid of any wrong doing stated “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our neighbours may have experienced during this incident.” They were eventually charged $500,000 and ordered to pay Aamjiwnaang $200,000.

S200 000. The price tag of human life in Chemical Valley. These fines mean nothing to the Industry, as a matter of fact, throughout the Industry, these costs are considered ‘a cost of doing business.' A tax for the heartless if you will.

These are just two of the more-known publicized examples of the carelessness and complete disregard for human life by an Industry that values dollars over heartbeats.

Though there have been no absolute, conclusive studies done by Health Canada or any such agency in the areas affected.

Although there are a few stats gathered throughout the years by independents, and some of them are shocking. Statistics are few and far between where Chemical Valley is concerned, thanks to Canada’s Liberal Government.

Here is what little I could find: – In a study from early 2000, cancer rates among men were 34 per cent above the provincial average.

– Forty per cent of Canada’s Petrochemical Industry is packed into a 15-square -mile area in Chemical Valley. Sixty plants run 24 hours, seven days a week.

– Two to one female to male birth ratio which is a statistical anomaly that has never occurred in recorded history. The same occurrence was found among animals, when studied it was found that animals living in heavily polluted areas were affected the most.

– Thirty-nine per cent of woman who have become pregnant have suffered either a stillborn or miscarriage.

– Chemical Valley has the most polluted air in Canada.

– In 2005, 13 million kg of pollutants was released from 46 plants. There are now 60 plants, it does not take a genius to determine that it has only gotten worse.

– Sixty per cent of 5.9 million kg of dangerous toxic pollutants are released within a 15 mile radius of the Aamjiwnaang Territories .

– More than 500 spills and leaks occurred in Chemical Valley between 2014 and 2015.

– Chemical Valley and all its inhabitants suffer the highest rate of hospitalization in all of Ontario.

Chemical Valley

continued from page 7 The Aamjiwnaang Environmental Committee, created in 2002 to give a voice and organize the community to take action into their own hands, was started by Ron Plaine and Ada Lockridge. Ever since the two have been lobbying the Ontario Government to cofund an independent study.

Ten years of lies, deceit and coverups — including instances like the more than 500 Ministry of Environment incident reports detailing chemical leaks in 2014/15, which included a Benzene leak that should have triggered alarms, and a valve that was left open for more than three months, venting Hydrocarbons. These incident reports were all suppressed and hidden from the public.

Our Government’s response to this serious health crisis has been nothing but silence for the last 10 years, but because of recent events and disasters, the Liberal Government

feels pressure to do something. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne recently said, “It has become obvious that the Ontario Government needs to come up with a solution, that serves both interests. The people of Aamjiwnaang and the Industry that also resides and provides funding for.”

With absolute carelessness and disregard, the 60 or so industries in Aamjiwnaang operate with little to no repercussions from the Ontario Government.

Besides Wynne’s latest remarks, its been a 10 year struggle to obtain any information or funding for Chemical Valley. So it’s clear Aamjiwnaang is just taking this as another empty promise from a politician with an agenda, especially when she has no clear plan, no start time for this study and an 'indefinite' period of time before the funding will come in, which in politicians terms could also mean never.

Doctors want older legal cannabis age restrictions REGINA — The Canadian Cancer Society and the Lung Association are recommending that Saskatchewan make 21 the legal age to buy marijuana.

The organizations are also recommending the province treat pot in much the same was as tobacco when it becomes legal next July.

They say marijuana use should be prohibited in public places such as restaurant and bar patios, parks, playgrounds, sports fields and any other municipal or provincial place where people gather.

The provincial government has not yet introduced its plan for marijuana legalization.

A school Kawenni:io can call their own

By Chezney Martin

OHSWEKEN – Security and stability are two principles that many elementary students on and off-reserve can take for granted.

Access to a library, computer lab or even a cafeteria are nuances that might not even register as luxuries to many young students — but may present themselves as necessities or things that every school has.

But what if in the name of preserving culture, language, and history, there were students that were going without?

What if being told that the only two indigenous languages to survive in the future do not include a Haudenosaunee language, and they want to change this?

This is the case for the Mohawk and Cayuga immersion students and faculty at the Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo Private School — a school that has been in operation for

30 years and brings forth future carriers of Haudenosaunee beliefs and philosophies from S.K., to Grade 12.

Principal Linda Staats explained that she knows many people don't understand just how long the school has been around, or the hardships that were faced by students

and faculty.

“People don't realize that this school has been functioning since 1986, and we were so small and unassuming that now that we're in the arena and the school has become quite populated, I think that the community needs to understand that this school has struggled

to survive on next to nothing. Teachers began teaching in this school with no salaries, whatsoever the first year that they taught. And that's the level of commitment that they had.”

The school is currently housed within the right half of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, which was greatly appreciated by all that found home within it, but is recognized as not being conducive to the educational standards of a learning environment. This has prompted efforts to establish a proper school to be built to house the students and staff of Kawenni:io/Gweniyo.

Staats explained that the board working towards achieving a new school is comprised of family members, alumni and faculty members that have created a plan to reach the main goal.

“The board has put together a strategic fundraising plan,” said Staats.

“They're putting promo-

Last Saturday, Staats explained that the board sent their request to the Economic Development Trust for $1.2 million to get the infrastructure behind the Six Nations Polytechnic, including the driveway, hydro, water and sewer to be shovel ready. The board hopes

to also raise $1 million in funds to use as a down-payment for a loan from the bank, but they are also in negotiations with the federal government to build the school.

Dreamcatcher Charity donates to local schools

By Jonathan Garlow OHSWEKEN – Dreamcatcher donated thousands of dollars directly into Six Nations schools last week.

Photos sent in by Josh Powless show seven schools in Six Nations receiving cheques for $2,000 each.

Education along with Healthcare for ``Status Indians`` is a treaty right that is constitutionally recognized in Canada under section 35 (1).

Unlike most other schools in the area, Six Nations education is Federally managed and has been facing more and more cutbacks.

It`s nice to see community organizations helping the most vulnerable segment of Six Nations.

The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation is a registered foundation designated to provide support and address situations unique to the First Nations community.

The Foundation will supply grants to individuals with a goal of developing youth as future community leaders.

Go online at dcfund.ca to see how to apply for your kids.

J.C. Hill, Jamieson, I.L. Thomas, Emily C. General and Oliver M. Smith each received a $2,000 cheque from Dreamcatcher last week. Lloyd S. King photo on page 32. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Susan Aglukark and Survivorman Trudeau apology Les Stroud: Arctic Crossing to Innu

By TRT staff

JUNO-winning vocalist, Susan Aglukark and Survivorman’s Les Stroud will be taking the stage together on Thursday, Nov. 30 for a music, film and concert experience called Arctic Crossing.

Arctic Crossing is an experience like no other in celebration of the Arctic and the Earth, highlighting the story of the Inuits’ survival through the ages. Intimate music and stories woven together with beautiful video imagery for a presentation that is as much inspiring as it is entertaining. The show showcases the audio and visual landscape as vast, beautiful and important as the Arctic itself.

Aglukark’s performance focuses mainly on her new album, which tells, “as much of the story I have gathered from my ancestors about crossing the Bering Strait and moving across the North,” she said.

Aglukark’s gift is the

story of the Inuit —their philosophy of reciprocity made alive by the energy of the land which has provided for their ability to survive and thrive.

Seasoned musician Stroud (aka Survivorman) has made a powerful name in the world of documentary film making, indeed starting an entirely new genre of TV, yet he comes by his music honestly. Since the age of 14 Stroud has been writing songs and studying musically and drawing inspiration from Mother Earth.

The performance is at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines, Ont. in the Partridge Hall.

Tickets are $49 at regular price, $42 for members and $25 for college and university students.

left on stage in east GOOSE BAY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the stage late last week to apologize for abuse and cultural losses at residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Former students at five schools in the province were left out of a compensation package and national apology in 2008 by former prime minister Stephen Harper.

His Conservative government argued for much of the next decade that Ottawa didn't oversee those schools but the Liberal government offered last year to settle a class-action lawsuit for $50 million.

Innu leaders boycotted the apology for its part in residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Officials with the boycott say they do not accept the apology and say Innu children suffered in other places besides residential schools.

The leaders issued a statement saying their communities need apologies for more than the experience in the International Grenfell Association run residential school dormitories.

Grand Chief Gregory Rich says he is not satisfied that Canada understands yet what it has done to Innu and what it is still doing.

Rich says Innu children were abused in Roman Catholic schools and in the homes of teachers and missionaries in the communities of Sheshatshiu and Davis Inlet. And says governments haven't recognized that.

Kawenni:io from page 9 children that go to this school can see themselves in the curriculum.

And I think that that's a key factor in developing well-rounded people that are going to leave this school and go out and productive members of our community.”

“The more successful they are in knowing who they are, the more successful they will be when they go out into the world,” she said. “It sure would be nice have a school for them.”

The costs of a new 30,000 sq. ft. school will cost $9.6 million to construct and about another $2 million annually to sustain operations and management costs — but will provide so much for the students in return.

Majority of the cost will go towards equipment or furnishings, special construction and contingency, site work,

interior, exterior, mechanical engineering plans, sub-structure, and services. The floor plan also includes a gymnasium, art room, science lab, library, computer lab, and resource rooms which are not present in their current building.

“The project is now at the shovel ready stage for construction and we are seeking financial donations to complete the construction stage. Financial contributions and all efforts to bring about a new school can be articulated in many forms. But at the very heart of the contribution is providing our future generations of a preserved language and culture. All donations are greatly appreciated and donors will be recognized for their contribution,” wrote Chair of the Board Ruby Jacobs.

Instructor Joanne Longboat, who teaches the Cayuga language half day with Grade 7 and 8 and the other half day with high school students at Kwenni:io/Gaweniyo, said that the need for more space is something she has noticed as the number of students has increased.

“We're very grateful

for this space that we have,” said Longboat.

“But for our kids, they deserve so much really.”

She listed all of the facilities that would be great to have in the future such as computer labs and a library, as the need for them has becoming increasingly apparent. She also noted that receiving visitors is becoming difficult with lack of space.

“Something not really considered all of the time is that we get a lot of visi-

[But even to have a larger space to welcome them would be so nice].”

“I think that everyone here, staff and students alike would be so happy to have a place of our own,” she said. “I really wish that the community as a whole would value our school and what we do here at the school in terms of the language and culture, because that to me is what keeps us Onkwehon:we.”

proposes Crafts aplenty at ILA Bazaar SNGRDC solution to Niagara

By Jayson Koblun

OHSWEKEN – Crafts, treats, connecting, networking — this year’s ILA Christmas Bazaar had it all. Community members and visitors enjoyed one of the area’s largest Christmas bazaars in the area last weekend.

There were more than one hundred vendors at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena last Saturday and Sunday; selling crafts, food, beadwork, Christmas décor and more.

“There’s something here for everyone,” said one of the event visitors.

“Some of the artists here are painting while the event is going on and it’s really cool to watch.”

The event was free and brought out visitors not only from Six Nations but several surrounding communities and cities.

SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) has taken 40 days to perform community engagement meetings since Thursday, October, 19, to collect rapport and answer questions regarding their plan to take advantage of the unfinished Niagara Reinforcement Line.

The line is a 76 km hydro electricity line that has been sitting near-completion for over 10 years with the projects final connection point being the Middleport Transformer station. This will require routing along the highway 6 bypass in Caledonia.

SNGRDC Matt Jamieson said that the information collected from the community will be made public during the sixth community engagement meeting Tuesday, November 21.

“All feedback that we receive during this process and the final report that we develop as a result of this engagement will be made public,” said Jamieson. “We do this because we have an obligation to be transparent with the com-

munity about what we're doing, and we take it all very seriously.”

The SNGRDC has proposed a three-phase bundle solution which begins with energizing the line after completing the remaining transmission work, acquiring 25% ownership of the line, and finally optimizing renewable energy opportunities as 300MW of renewable energy will be set aside and valid for 15 years.

The construction will take approximately 5 months to complete, and can begin in spring and have commercial operation in fall of 2018. It will also create 25-35 new and local employment opportunities during construction. The overall benefit of finishing the project will enable Six Nations to play a leading role in how renewable energy projects are developed in the future and lead to more employment and investment.

No commitments have been made on this project as of yet and the next engagement is scheduled for Thursday, November 30, from 7-9 p.m., at the Iroquois Lacross Arena.

Matoaka is her name

By TRT Staff

Did Pocahontas really have a raccoon and hummingbird accompany her on adventures? Did she really leap off of Virginia cliffs while singing?

The fascination surrounding the story of Pocahontas is one that circulates around the interracial coupling of Pocahontas with the Englishman John Smith, at the height of conflict between English settlers and indigenous people. It is deemed a majestic love story between a strong indigenous woman, and a witty and heroic Englishman.

But the true story falls very short of Hollywood's expectations.

The story of the young girl begins in Virginia.

Her first given name was Matoaka (flower between two streams), and she sometimes went by Amonute. Her father was the Powhatan Chief and had loved her mother who had died in child birth.

The nick name Pocahontas was given to her as a teasing but derogatory remark for being a “naughty” or “spoiled child” because Matoaka became one of most beloved of the chief’s daughters.

It is believed that Matoaka was born around the 1590s to the chief, and her nation was a piece of about 30 Algonquin speaking tribes located in Tidewater, Virginia. But this would also make her roughly only 10 years old when the arrival of the 28-year-old Admiral of New England John Smith arrived in Virginia by ship in 1607.

In his writing, Smith explained that whilst exploring the Chickahominy River, Smith was captured by a Powhatan hunting party and what happened next varies from source to source. In his journal, he described a large feast and an interview between he and the Powhatan chief.

However, in a letter to Queen Anne, Smith told a different story depicting that Matoaka threw herself over his body to shield him from execution at the hands of the Powhatan.

In reality, Smith told

BLEED

his account of being saved

by Pocahontas 17 years after her death, with no mention of it beforehand.

So yeah, no 'colours of the wind,' happened, because in truth Smith was a lying and self-serving general and Matoaka was a child.

Children were not allowed in ceremony.

It is also said that on April 13, 1613 Matoaka visited the Jamestown settlement as she had been doing when food was short to help the settlers, and was captured by Samuel Argall to ransom her for some English prisoners held by her father.

However, in reality the 1600s were a terrible time for indigenous women and children.

European colonists would sexually assault both women and children, and women were known to throw themselves before their children so that they would be taken instead.

The interactions between indigenous nations and European settlers at this time wrought havoc on the rapport between the two, including the Powhatan and the men of Jamestown who were on the verge of war.

So, what better way to prevent war? Capture the beloved daughter of the chief, Matoaka.

As Argall went to find her, Matoaka had had her name changed to Pocahontas during a coming of age ceremony and married one of her own – Kocoum.

She had a child with him and when Argall found her, she was forced to hand her child off to the women of her tribe and Kocoum was later killed.

It is said that during her year as a hostage, John Rolfe took a “special interest” in her and promised her release under the condition that she marry him. Pocahontas was then baptized as Rebecca and in 1614 she married Rolfe.

Their union was the first recorded marriage between a European and a Native American, and they had their first son Thomas.

But the oral history differs greatly; upon being taken hostage she was forced to accept Christianity, forcibly baptized and

made to take the name Rebecca. She was later visited by her sister, who carried the knowledge of the account that Rebecca had been raped, repeatedly. It was through being raped at night by different men that she became pregnant with a son, Thomas.

Oh, allow me to add that Rolfe, the tobacco planter only wanted to marry Rebecca to get sacred and secret curing techniques for tobacco from her uncles for the “most fantastic tobacco.”

Two years later, Rolfe took Rebecca to England to use her in a propaganda campaign by propping her up as a symbol of hope and peace for good relations between the English and Native Americans to support the colony of Virginia.

In reality, Rebecca was taken by Argall to England and Rolfe paraded her around to show that “savages” can be civilized. Rolfe was praised for his “accomplishment” in bringing Christianity to the “heathen tribes,” and Rebecca was seen as a tamed beast.

There is also an addon that while in England, Rebecca bumped into John Smith and refused to speak to him, but when pressed she called him a liar and cast him out. She was furious at him for how he had treated her father, and it wasn't soon after that her father passed away.

A few years later, Rebecca was to complete a journey back to Virginia, but she became gravely ill.

It is believed that she was only 21 years old when she passed on March 21, 1617.

In oral history her health was described as holding a constant vibrance and she was always exuding energy. So, a tie was made with a dinner she had while in England with Argall and Rolfe and her sickness — it is believed that during this dinner she was poisoned by the duo.

In other words, everything you knew might have thought you knew about Pocahontas was complete fabrication.

Wake up and smell the genocide of the 1600s.

Trump, honouring Navajos, revives 'Pocahontas' jab at Senator Warren

By Laurie Kellman And Catherine Lucey (AP) WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump returned to his own kind of code talking Monday by deriding Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren as ``Pocahontas'' at a White House event honouring Native American war heroes. ``You were here long before any of us were here,'' Trump said as he honoured three Navajo code talkers from World War II. And then he added, without naming Warren: ``We have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago.

They call her Pocahontas.

But you know what, I like you.''

In fact, Trump deployed that nickname for the Massachusetts senator repeatedly during the 2016 presidential campaign and, as president, as recently as a Nov. 3 tweet.

Native American leaders have called Trump's past attacks on Warren offensive and distasteful. Some Democrats have called the nickname racist.

Trump made the comment as he stood near a portrait of President Andrew Jackson, which he hung in the Oval Office in January. Trump admires the seventh president's populism. But Jackson also is known for signing the Indian Removal Act of

1830, in which the Cherokee Nation was removed from its lands in what is now known as the ``trail of tears.''

The Navajo Nation suggested Trump's remark Monday was an example of ``cultural insensitivity'' and resolved to stay out of the ``ongoing feud between the senator and President Trump.'' ``All tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy,'' Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said in a statement. He added that the Navajo Nation remains honoured by the White House recognition of the code talkers.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, asked about criticism of Trump's remarks, said a racial slur ``was certainly not the president's intent.''

But the remark is the latest in a long list of remarks Trump has made about people from specific ethnic and racial groups.

Announcing his longshot campaign for president in 2015, Trump said many Mexican immigrants are rapists. He's sought to ban immigrants from certain Muslim majority nations.

He's come under fire for what some said was a too-slow federal response to hurricane damage in

Puerto Rico. Trump also raised eyebrows for apparently having some fun in October with the name of the U.S. territory _ ``Puerrrto Rico,'' he said _ at an East Room event for Puerto Ricans.

Those in the Oval Office for Monday's event gave no visible reaction to Trump's ``Pocahontas'' comments. But Warren and other Democrats were quick to respond. ``This was supposed to be an event to honour heroes, people who put it all on the line for our country, who, because of their incredible work, saved the lives of countless Americans and our allies,'' Warren said in an interview on MSNBC. ``It is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honouring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur.''

New Mexico Sen. Sen. Tom Udall, vice chairman of the Indian Affairs committee, added: ``Donald Trump's latest racist joke _ during Native American Heritage Month no less _ demeaned the contributions that the code talkers and countless other Native American patriots and citizens have made to our great country.''

The president has long feuded with Warren, an outspoken Wall Street critic who levelled blis-

tering attacks on Trump during the campaign.

Trump seized on questions about Warren's heritage, which surfaced during her 2012 Senate race challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown.

During that campaign, law school directories from the Association of American Law Schools from 1986 to 1995 surfaced that put Warren on the association's list of ``minority law teachers'' when she was teaching at the University of Texas and the University of Pennsylvania.

Warren said she listed herself with Native American heritage because she hoped to meet people with similar roots.

In a 2012 interview with The Associated Press, Warren said she and her brothers were told of the family's heritage by their parents, the late Don and Pauline Herring.

Brown pressed Warren to release more information about how she described her heritage to potential employers. Warren said she never sought proof of ancestry because she didn't think it was necessary.

Sanders said Monday that Warren was the offensive one when ``she lied about something specifically to advance her career.''

TORONTO — Leaders from a Northern Ontario First Nation urged the federal and Ontario governments to commit to building and funding a mercury treatment centre in their community ahead of a meeting with them Wednesday.

Mercury contamination has plagued the English-Wabigoon River system in northwestern Ontario for half a century, since a paper mill in Dryden, Ont., dumped 9,000 kilograms of the substance into the river systems in the 1960s.

Researchers have reported that more than 90 per cent of the people in the nearby Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong First Nation show signs of mercury poisoning.

Grassy Narrows Chief Simon Fobister, who suffers from mercury poisoning himself, is frustrated that there hasn't been a firm commitment to the treatment centre itself, saying his yearslong efforts to push for one feel like a dog chasing its tail. ``I can't fathom how Canada dismisses this whole man-made disaster that we're suffering from,'' he said Tuesday. ``We're being poisoned every day. Every day. I think it's time that Canada and Ontario be serious about this.''

Grassy Narrows leaders are set to meet in Toronto on Wednesday with Ontario Indigenous Relations Minister David Zimmer and federal Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott, who has so far committed to a feasibility study for a mercury

treatment centre.

Zimmer said Tuesday that Ottawa would make a commitment to fund the centre at Wednesday's meeting, but his office later said he misspoke and had been referring to the feasibility study.

Philpott said she is hoping to hear from the community what their specific needs are in a centre, but the federal government will ``support some appropriate facility once we have more information.'' ``Are they looking at primarily an outpatient facility? Are they looking at specialty areas? Are they looking at, you know, in-patient facilities? What exactly are the needs?'' she said in Ottawa.

Premier Kathleen Wynne told The Canadian Press from China, where she is on a trade mission, that a mercury disability board will have to help determine next steps and noted the province has earmarked $85 million to remediate the mercury contamination.

A consulting firm that has been working with Grassy Narrows has estimated that a treatment centre could be built for $4.5 million.

Grassy Narrows councillor Alana Pahpasay said many people sick and dying from mercury poisoning have left to live in nursing homes in Kenora, Ont., which cuts them off from the community. ``It is hard for people and family to go visit them,'' she said. ``Even though it's an hour away a lot of people don't have that transportation to go visit their family or the resources to see them as much as they should.

Fall Sing 2017 rejuvenates

By Chezney Martin

Singing societies and groups are comprised of one lead singer with a water drum, who is accompanied by roughly 10 to 30 supporting singers with horn rattles that contribute their voices to sing songs that were passed down from generation to generation, or to introduce new songs of the same style (Esganye). But there is a distinction between societies and groups.

Each society upholds a responsibility to their respective community and will help their people through fundraising, manual labour or otherwise. When singing at a sing, the society performs for the enjoyment of the people who may sit and listen during all of the performances, and for themselves as a singing society can become like a second family.

OHSWEKEN – Haudenosaunee singing societies and groups from both Canada and the U.S. were welcomed to the Dajoh Youth and Elders Facility to share their voices and songs as part of the Fall Sing 2017 on Saturday, November 25.

Six Nations hosts four home societies alone in-

cluding the Old Mush Singers, the Grand River Singing Society, Kontihen:te Womens Singing Society and the “Last Minute Gang.” The host societies opened the floor to the visiting Kanien:ke Women, Kahnawake Men, Ohi:yo Men (Allegheny), Cayuga Lake Singers, Onondaga Men, Tonawanda Women and the Rolling Stones to perform songs that are generations old, or to introduce new songs in-

spired by old. Visitors from Akwesasne, Kahnawake, Tonawanda, Ohi:yo, Onondaga, Oneida, Tyendinega and elsewhere gathered to listen to the groups sing throughout the day and partake in lunch and dinner provided by the community.

As a singer from both the Grand River Singing Society since he was 12, and the Onawęda'geh (Cayuga Lake) group, Elan Henhawk said that “Satur-

day was a great turn out.”

“Everyone worked together, right from the societies to the cooks, servers to everyone that was there,” said Henhawk. “The sing is all about bringing people together and it's been set in place for singing societies to fundraise for their community. It was great to see everyone come together and help

support the different singing societies.”

“It was [also] great to get to sing along with my father and his fellow singers who I grew up singing with,” he said, as his mother Tammy Henhawk helped in the kitchen by cooking the meals.

But as you might guess, hosting so many people all at once isn't a small feat.

This is a picture of a singing society estimated to be from the '60's.

Hill explained that the microphone pictured on the right in the background was connected to the recorders car battery outside - while a recorder perches on a stand in the left picture. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Singer Cam Hill, who is also one of the co-ordinators of this sing, marvelled at how much communal support the gathering invoked.

“One of the things that I thought was really good was that everybody worked together, the whole community,” said Hill. “And that's all we [the singing societies] really are too, we're just community. We just help out.”

And a sing isn't held just to share songs, or for the benefit of a sole purpose. Hill explained that the gathering invokes and takes a lot of communal support and effort, which is always given back by the societies.

“A lot of times we organize fundraisers for people who are sick, or experience maybe a house fire or different things like that.

They can come to the singing society and ask for help during those times,” he said. “It's kind of an age-old thing that's been around here for a long time, and I guess that's just the tradiCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

tional way to be. To always have gędęǫ (gehn-dow), that compassion — to always be a caring person in situations like that, no matter who it is.”

The gathering also helps to keep each community updated on how other singing societies are helping their respective communities, as after the singing finalizes and before the social portion begins, the societies meet and share what they've done to help their people throughout the year. The societies do this using only Haudenosaunee languages which is another age-old tradition carried from the old societies.

This might make you realize that the history of the “sing” is much older than you think.

“There are singing societies from all over,” he said.

“The genre has remained the same for many years.

The style of singing has varied a little bit but not very much, like it's still very close to the original way of singing. It's passed down, just by hearing the older men sing and being in that environment is what passes it down.”

He explained that there are songs full of expressions, jokes, and sometimes love, but each of the songs have the same purpose — to be enjoyed by the people.

“I have some recordings from like the '60s, and you can just tell that they're having a good old time.

Sounds like it anyways, everybody's laughing and clapping,” he said.

Hill also brought up that it is documented in the field notes of an anthropologist from the 1930s in regards to the Salt Lake Singers, that singing groups would

He also explained that sings are generally held during the U.S., Thanksgiving and again during Easter, as these dates were chosen by the older societies long before as a means of traditionalizing the Western celebrations. And another way that things have evolved is in having the sing recorded, so that people that couldn't attend or record the sets could contact Artie Martin for emailed copies.

“Times have changed and we've evolved,” he admitted. “But the idea and the same care goes into it, it's just the job has changed a little bit,” he said.

But not too much, as Hill explained that in the future they hope to fund-

raise for a chainsaw and axes to teach the younger members of the Grand River Singing Society how to chop wood. The wood would then be given to the longhouses on Six Nations to start, which will help to maintain the societies manual labour aspect of helping the people.

“If we can get the youth to learn and use our traditional knowledge and philosophy, not just for sings, but for everything and everyday life, I think that we'll have a more healthy environment around here.

And it will be a part of our health and our wellness, and our culture will survive,” he said.

It is common knowledge that it is within the younger generations, that the old ways of being are entrusted to continue, and the societies and people know this well.

Prize winners were selected by random draw.

Destiny 2 Review (PS4, XONE, PC)

85 Destiny sequel exceeds original

By Jonathan Garlow So I have to be completely honest and admit that I didn’t play much of the Destiny 1.

That being said, I was totally blown away by everything about Destiny 2.

From what I can tell, the game is one of the few of its kind to mix different game types together in a wonderful hybrid fusion.

Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter video game that incorporates role-playing and massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements. It’s basically Fallout 4 meets Halo online.

Perhaps because I’ve become accustomed to Free-To-Play titles such as Dirty Bomb and MechWarrior Online; the polish of a triple “A” title felt new and refreshing. These titles have a larger budget, and therefore usually have better design, but I had forgotten about the extra polish of a major release.

It is in the subtle menu animations, custom sounds and the kind of fonts you would find on CNN. I like

Behold the mighty ensemble of Destiny 2. Titans with the shields, Hunters with the capes, Warlocks with the 'locks. It's science. PHOTO BY BUNGIE.NET

how your peripheral vision is blurred while you are zoomed in on a rifle.

Big budget.

One report from a developer said that it was a $500 million budget. Another from within Bungie the game developer said it wasn’t that high. Either way Destiny 2 is receiving “generally favourable” reviews with a Metacritic score of 85 per cent.

The game starts with character creation screen

at which you must choose between three different classes: Hunter, Titan or Warlock. Each class has three subclasses so in theory there are nine different ones to choose from.

Hunter is kind of snipe-ey and sneaky, Titan is basically Captain America and Warlock is the bard class.

After that process of choosing tattoos and hair styles — which usually takes me at least three hours — the story intro

eventually builds into a few easy quests that advance the plot. At any time you can decide to PVP (player vs player) with your friends or just go back to the city and show off rare dance moves near the vendors. It’s all up to you.

The single player game is pretty decent and as you level, new items drop from enemies and chests containing loot. Destiny 2 automatically adjusts power levels so even new players

To get the most effective gear it is recommended that you get to level 20 first and then complete story mode.

PRO-TIP:

can be very competitive even if you want to level 1-20 in the Crucible it is possible. Regarding player versus player combat Bungie has officially stated, “Your fighting abilities, not your power levels, will decide the outcome."

For those hard-core Role-Playing-Game fans who may be hesitant about trying a First Person Shooter there are some noob-friendly weapons such as the ROS LYSIS II, or URIEL'S GIFT that automatically assist your aim for you. There are a variety of weapons such as this that help people who are new to aiming.

When you are finished the story mode there are strikes and six-person raids to continue the PVE (player vs environment) experience. There are also many different public events that are happening on any of the different

persistent worlds that are easy to farm with a few friends. Epic loots.

My only PVP complaint is that 4v4 seems very intimate, maybe a little too up close and personal for my liking. For competitions it makes sense but I would like to see random 6v6 matches or maybe world PVP in the public zones — something to beef up PVP. The maps are all very well done and it seems that every inch of them get used at some point here and there. They are mostly urban with close corners but each map does have at least one major sniping lane for all ye campers out there (I see you).

The crafting in the game is weapon and armour modification basically and that is okay.

The graphics, sound and music are all bonkers good. This game goes way beyond that with deep immersion and is extra worth it if you happened to pick it up on sale Black Friday.

This reviewers level 20 Titan was specifically built for PVP. My favourite weapon combo is Origin Story in the Kinetic slot with a Scout rifle in the Energy weapon slot. Look for a scout rifle that does area-of-effect detonation damage. IMAGE BY JONATHAN GARLOW

Corvairs bolster first place position

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Jr. B hockey season, the Caledonia Corvairs have a formula-built team consisting of four lines, all capable of scoring.

A powerful power play and penalty killers along with solid goaltending.

Once again this season, the Corvairs are massively outshooting their opponents on the way to 20 wins in 24 starts.

The Corvairs now have 20 wins, three losses and an OT loss moving towards the all-star break, good enough for top spot in the Golden Horseshoe Conference with 41 points. Niagara Falls and St. Kitts are tied for second with 38 points but both have played one game more than the Corvairs as of Monday.

“Actually I am following owner Kenny Hill’s direction,” said general manager Brian Rizzetto.

“He said, there is no need for superstars if everyone plays their roles as a team, and he is right. We want a team that can play any style of game necessary to win.”

To be a Corvair, you will have to learn your role and play it the best of your ability.

“The guys are starting to understand and accept their roles,” Rizzetto adds.

Weekend wins have put more distance between the Corvairs and the second place St. Catharines Falcons.

Jamie Lauzon was selected as this seasons captain for the Corvairs and has been providing leadership on the ice and in the dressing room. That is what the Caledonia Corvairs wanted in a Captain and they got it with Lauzon. "Jamie is an all-round player that already earned the respect of the team" so selecting him to lead the team was not a hard decision. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE The Caledonia trend continued as the Corvairs buried Ancaster under 46 shots with Brandon McCorriston facing 27 shots at the other end, Sunday.

Josh DeFarias and Yianni Skropolis scored back to back power play goals late in the first period.

Benjamin Woodhouse surprised Caledonia with the Av’s first goal of the night, 29 seconds into the second period to make it 2-1, but Owen Lane got that back at 12:29, with a short handed goal, unassisted, at 12:29.

Griffin Roubos and Jesse Barwell closed out the scoring with the Corvairs taking the two points with a 4-2 win.

Amazing

The Corvairs needed a good showing Saturday night against the visiting St. Catharine Falcons Saturday, and they got it with a convincing 5-2 win over the second place rivals.

The Corvairs set the pace early with goals by Joshua DeFarias and TJ Hughes’ power play goal at 19:16 put the Falcons behind 2-0, outshot 13-6.

It was more of the same in the second with period with Hughes’ second of the game at 8:54 and Sean O’Brien scoring at 9:17.

Tanner Ferreina put the Falcons into the game at 18:19 to end the period with Caledonia winning 4-1.

it 5-1 in the third, before Matt Busby scored an extra man goal for St. Kitts at 13:06, but that is as far as they would get as the game ended 5-2 in Caledonia’s favour.

Corvairs’ goalie Brandon McCorriston got the win making 19 saves against his former teammates.

This week’s games include a tiff with the Thorold Blackhawks, Thursday night in Thorold, then Saturday the Corvairs will face a challenge from the second place Niagara Canukes, at the HCA, at 7:30. Sunday, Dec. 3rd, Caledonia heads to Plenham to face the Panthers.

BRANTFORD – The Brantford Blast remains the Allan Cup Hockey league’s basement after dropping an 8-5 decision to the league leading Stoney Creek Generals, Friday night at the Brantford and District Civic Centre.

Brantford deep in the basement with a record of one win against seven losses but have a habit of coming on strong later in the season. Either way, the view from the bottom is much different that the view from the top if the league standing and the Blast is not used to it at all.

It looks good for Brantford early in the game after Zach McQuade scored a power play marker from Peter Drikos and Cameron Sault. Braden Roberts made it 2-0 for Brantford at 6:11but was soon to

go sour for them, as the General scored the next four goals in succession to double upon the Blast 4-2 before Joel Prpic cut into the General’s lead at 18:56.

Brantford could not turn it around between periods and Stoney Creek added two more in the second period for a two period for a 6-3 two period lead.

Prpic made it 6-4 with his third period goal on a Brantford power play at 2:01 from Paul McIlveen and Justin Abraham assisting. Drikos drew the Blast closer at 13:59 but the Generals fired it up again and scored the last two goals of the game for the 8-5 final score.

Six Nations Midgets shut out Pirates 5-0

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Intertown Midgets breezed past the Port Dover Pirates 5-0, Saturday at the Gaylord Powless Arena in downtown Ohsweken.

Six Nations out skated and out played the Pirates, but Port Dover kept it as close as they could for as log as they could against the powerful Blackhawks.

Just over three minutes into the game, Thomas Mt. Pleasant put Six Nations into flight scoring in close on Dover goaltender Seth Dewherst. Jake Smith assisted and it was 1-0, Six Nations.

Dewherst stood tall four minutes into the

second period with an enormous save, only to be scored on in close, minutes later by Sandy Porter with Smith assisting, and it was 2-0 Six Nations.

Maybe the prettiest goal of the game was recorded by Raym Scott with an end-to-end, dips doodle trip through the entire Pirate team to score Six Nations’ third goal. Two minutes later, it was 5-0. Bradin Elijah made it 4-0, in close, and Kalem Hill made it 5-0.

There was no scoring in the third period.

Earning assists for Six Nations were Jake Smith, with two, Hunter Tobice, Zach Martin, Kalem Hill, Matt Miller, Sandy Porter and George Bomberry.

Montour may be out with upper body injury

By Jim Windle ANAHEIM – The Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Anaheim Ducks 7-3 at United Center on Monday night. The Ducks lost not only the game, they may have lost Six Nations defensemen Brandon Montour in the process.

Ducks defensemen left the game at 10:48 of the third period after being crunched by two Chicago Blackhawks’, Brent Seabrook and Tommy Wingels. The injury is described as “an upper body

injury” but coach Randy Carlyle is reporting after the game that Montour that he was "functioning well”, which may indicate he will be back on the ice soon.

With or without Montour, the Ducks face the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday.

Sunday was not a good one for the Ducks who have been winless in the last four starts and are getting pretty hungry for a win. Goalie John Gibson, who has been sensational for the Ducks this season, has fallen upon hard

times. He was replaced in the Anaheim net by Ryan Miller 6:13 into the second period after allowing four goals on 22 shots.

"We allowed them to play their give-and-go game," said coach Randy Carlyle. "We really didn't get involved in the hockey game physically at all. And they just moved the puck around us, and we got frustrated."

Montour has played well, but has remained pointless since he earned an assist when the Ducks faced Las Vegas, Nov. 22nd.

It’s official: Jamieson is back

By Jim Windle with files

SIX NATIONS – The question being asked since last NLL season is, “will Cody Jamieson return to the game he was created for?”

Serious and nagging injuries in recent years has put Jamieson’s career in question. But now it’s official. Cody Jamieson will return to the Rochester Knighthawks lineup when the season begins Sat. Dec 9 in Calgary.

He has gotten his clearance from league doctors, has been practising with the team and is ready to play after sitting out last season recovering from surgery on his torn ACL. Jamieson’s list of accomplishments on the floor and on the field are truly amazing making him a shoe-in for Hall of Fame honours when he finally retires. But that won’t be for a while yet, if he has anything to say about it.

He is now 30 years old with a wife and three kids to care for but there is still a lot of tread on the tires and as long as he can stay healthy, he could capture every record in the book except goaltender of the year.

Jamieson enters his seventh season in the NLL and seventh with the Knighthawks, has served as an assistant captain the past five seasons (2013 to 2017) and is third all-time in team history in goals (199), assists (329) and points (528). He’s notched two assists in his only appearance of the season on 1/28/17. In 2016, he

recorded a career-high 102 loose balls, played in his 100th game as a pro on 4/30/16.

In 2016, he was named the co-winner of the Knighthawks MVP award; third time in his career he received the award, Knighthawks Offensive MVP award for the second straight season (2015 to 2016).

He collected his 500th career point on 3/26/16, notched his 300th career assist on 3/12/16.

He scored the overtime game-winning goal on 2/13/16 as part of a nine-point night and opened the postseason with a career-high nine playoff points on 5/8/15.

He was named the 2015 Knighthawks Offensive MVP and a Second Team All-Pro, led the team with 36 goals and 92 points, he was tied for the league-lead with four game-winning goals and was only one of two Rochester players to record a point in all 18 regular season games.

Jamieson reached 400 career points on 4/11/15. Scored backto-back game-winning goals (2/21/15 to 2/28/15). Collected a career-high nine assists on 2/14/15. Named the 2014 NLL MVP and a First Team All-Pro. Won three straight Champion’s Cups (2012 to 2014), For the third straight postseason, he led the Knighthawks in points.

In 2014, he was named Rochester’s MVP for the second time in his career. Became the second Knighthawk to win the NLL Scoring Title. Finished the season with a career-high 108 points and 72 assists, which

"Jammer" will be returning for his seventh NLL season, all with Rochester, chasing the great John Travares all-time records of 815 goals, 934 assists for 1,749 points.

The second player in NLL history to win backto-back Championship Game MVP Awards, joining John Tavares (1992 to 1993). In 2013, he had a then career-high 61 assists, which was the second most in team single-season history…

Stay tuned. There will be more before Jamieson “hangs ‘em up.”

HAGERSVILLE – It’s a deep hole but the Hagersville Hawks Jr. C’s are gradually digging themselves out of the basement of the league.

This past week the 6-122 Hawks posted a 4-4, single point tie with the Dundas Blues and a 3-0 win in Simcoe. The three points earned have given the Hawks a bridge to begin to climb up the standings. Currently, they are four points behind both Niagara and Dunnville, with 18-points.

Saturday in Simcoe, the Hag-Hawks took a 1-0 first period lead on Ralph Taggart’s goal at 18:49 of the first period, assisted by Noah Czyzewski.

There was no scoring in the second as Hagersville goaltender Adam McCormack and Simcoe’s Gavin McLeod each other for the middle 20-minutes.

In the third period, Hayden Smith and Cam Allan completed the scoring for a much needed Hagersville win.

Thursday night, a combination of clutch goaltending

by Caledonia’s Adam McCormack and a Cam Allan’s tying goal scored at 12:55 of the final frame earned the Corvairs a single point.

After Hagersville earned a 2-0 first period lead on goals scored by Hagerville’s Zach Carr and Nick Visser.

Dundas came out for the second period an fire and scored four quick goals, starting with Chris Cudek’s goal at 28 seconds. Carter Franks followed at 1:18, Danny Attridge at 3:17 and Steve Bell’s goal at 5:56 handed the Blues a 4-2 lead before Visser stopped the bleeding for Caledonia at 8:47 to take a 4-3 lead.

Both teams worked hard in the third with close checking and great goaltending, but at 12:55, Cam Allan scored to even it up at 4-4. That would prove to be the last goal of the game as nothing was decided in OT. Friday, Dec. 1, the Hawks and the Blues begin a homeand-home series with the same two teams meeting Saturday night Dec. 2 in Hagersville.

Wednesday, Dec. 6, the Hawks are in Glanbrook.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you might feel like you do not measure up to others this week. How others see you is completely different from your perception. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, letting go is a hard lesson to learn this week.

You may have to retire a plan that just can’t come to fruition. But don’t worry, new ideas are in the works.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try not to hold onto negative emotions.

Focus on all of the happy memories you have made with others and your mood will instantly brighten.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Honesty is the best policy, Cancer. So have that frank conversation with someone even if full disclosure can be a bit uncomfortable. Afterward, you’ll be glad you did.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay open to external influences and you may be able to infer some things about the future that can guide you in the days ahead. It’s good to stay ahead of the curve.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this is a good week to take stock of the people who mean the most to you. Express your feelings to these people and spend some time with them.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 A little dose of being naughty might do you some good this week, Scorpio. Call in sick from work and enjoy a day shopping or simply indulging in a little entertainment.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You have basic needs that have to be met, and a strong network of friends and coworkers can get you through any rough patch, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although you can’t narrow it down just yet, something doesn’t feel right in your world. Keep investigating and trust your instincts.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you have reached a crossroads where everything you have dreamed and worked for has finally converged. This is the time to enjoy the fruits of all your labor.
