Threats of school shoot- Sit ‘N’ Bull draws winners for truck and cash ing appear aimed at Brantford high school

By TRT staff

By Nahnda Garlow

BRANTFORD — The school community of North Park Collegiate was shaken this week PMS Black isC after three threats sued against the stu186apdents at thePMS school peared on social media.

Brantford Police were alerted by concerned parents after an account on Instagram appeared threatening the student population at the school and taunting a specific “hit list” of students with gun violence.

The Instagram account was named northparkshooting and taunted the tagline ‘cops can’t catch me’. Screenshots of the account circulated across the newsfeeds of local parents, prompting grave concern and an immediate police investigation.

As a result of the investigation — one 13 year old male student was arrested and charged with threatening Wednesday.

However following that arrest a second

threat was made against the students at North Park on Dec 14— again taunting a growing list of specific students were being targeted with violence.

School officials issued a statement to parents alerting them to the second threat and said while the school would remain open — an increased police presence would be on site.

Over the weekend a third threat was posted to social media. NPC Principal Phil Midgley contacted parents again to alert families about the ongoing situation — and that the school would remain open with an increased police presence for student and staff safety and ongoing investigations.

As of Tuesday evening no further threats and no further arrests were made other than the original 13 year old male charged from the initial posting.

Midgley said attenCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

He was part of the 5th Marine Division, fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima and received a Purple Heart as well as a Congressional Silver Medal.

Funeral plans were pending and a list of Draper's survivors wasn't immediately available Thursday.

Draper's death came nine days after another Navajo Code Talker, George B. Willie Sr., died in Arizona at age 92.

TWO ROW TIMES

December 20th, 2017

OPINION

EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA MARTIN

The last week has been incredibly disruptive for several families in Brant County as a group of students made threats of gun violence against their classmates.

A 13 year old male now stands charged, and an investigation is ongoing at the school looking into what prompted these threats. A continued heavy police presence is onsite at North Park Collegiate to protect students and staff.

How in the world did we get here?

Threats came across Instagram and other social media platforms throughout the week — with a group of students “supporting” the original poster in his threats.

Parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents — and students of the school, their siblings, cousins and friends — took to social media sharing screenshots, comments and articles showing great detail and grotesque images by the original poster.

The final result of the social media frenzy was a snowball of thousands of shares. Which means the students whose names appeared on rumoured ‘hit litsts’ were circulated across the internet for a whole week — and the students whose names appeared were victimized two times over.

Also in the news this week — was a study by Facebook confirming statistics social media users have been buzzing about for years. Too much time online is bad for your mental health.

The study looked at adult users.

But further study on social media use and smartphone use has corroborated that teen depression is linked with time spent on social media via technology — either through smartphone, computer or another device.

Although the study did find positive impacts can occur if users are engaging with friends and family, it also articulated that negative im-

pacts are more dramatic if teens have a negative experience online.

It’s something the kids call “being put on blast.” And it is rooted in humiliation. It is a widespread, seemingly victimless ‘hazing’ that is easily spread with the click of a touchscreen and it is incredibly damaging to human psychology.

Earlier this year one of the co-founders of Facebook spoke at national convention and said social media is damaging the health of humans' brains.

"It literally changes your relationship with society, with each other . . .God only knows what it's doing to our children's brains.”

That founder, named Sean Parker, told the crowd at an Axios conference said that Facebook and all social media platforms after it have created a "a social-validation feedback loop . . . exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.”

Exploitation. That is what he called it. And there is no better word for it.

So imagine for a moment that you are a 13 year old trying to get your through your first semester in high school and that social validation loop backfires incredibly because someone wants to be a D. And then thousands of people share it.

You’re no longer validated. Your name becomes exploited. And it’s unavoidable. Society is now wired to collectively knee-jerk react to our social media timelines and we are feeding our kids straight into it.

As parents and adults surrounding the teens we love — we have to be the ones to uphold and install an internet morality.

This means when something is online that you find deplorable — please first take a minute to consider the impact your share may have.

Men's Fire speaks on water Hodiskeagehda (Men’s Fire) Six Nation of the Grand River Territory Dear editor, RE: Niagara Reinforcement line

Men’s Fire of the Six Nations Grand River Territory wish to express to this community, the actual frame work surrounding the Hydro Towers in Caledonia, to be crossing Plank Road. Via NRL. It is with much regret to have to decline the offer made by Six Nation Grand River Development Corporation. This particular item has been on the table since the latter part of the 1974, Plank road hydro towers were taken down, and as such were brought back to the table 2006, potentially to be used to negotiate the land claims. Matt Jamieson CEO of SNGRDC has been in talks with the province and federal government on our behalf to benefit our community. Mr. Jamieson re-

leased a letter to this effort Oct 18, 2017.

Men’s Fire were approached November 10, 2106, and asked to present a proposal to allow the lines to be installed, and using community forces to maintain the equipment, along with a cost paid to this community of $0.30 per million-kilowatt hour generated, paid to this community annually, which equity to ($3 million dollars) renewable every two years to indefinitely, no shares, no loans, no debt to be repaid. The SNGRDC’s proposal will purchase 25 per cent ownership in the NRL for approx. $13 million to be paid back over 48 years. Our Children will absorb that debt. Also, at the meeting of the Hodiskeagehda November 10, 2016, Attendees Linda Parker, Bill Monture, George Garlow, Wayne Vanevery, Gun Loft, Bob Frank, Hydro guys Dean Command, Frank Bajc, Chris Benedetti (Queen Park Rep)

stated they would fund a campaign to assure that a conscious was met from this community. Offered to pay $40 to $60 thousand to go door-to-door and solicit the communities support.

As we all know this is only a proposal and would have numerous tweaks associated with it. I believe our community deserves more than debt to success, and would have a much more viable future, by utilizing our nature resource, water is blessing not a commodity, by which to sell back to the ones that own the land and water rights. I urge you to consider all possibilities, when signing this agreement, as the next five-generation must be considered.

Personally our vote is NO. Respectfully submitted,

Hodiskeagehda The Men’s Fire of the Six Nations Territory of the Grand River

Spiritual renewal not year-end reviews

By Rachel A. Snow

What is there to say about the year in review for the original peoples of this land wrongfully called Canada?

This year is just another genocidal cycle that seeks to obliterate or assimilate the original peoples.

There are no highlights when the original people are in poverty in this land.

There are no highlights when some of the original people do not have access to clean water, housing or jobs. Canada continues to oppress and bring harm to their relationship with the original peoples.

I began writing for the Two Row Times in May 2017 on education. Eight months later I was again writing on the Assembly of First Nation’s failure to protect the treaty and inherent right to education.

Education, for the original people who remember their responsibilities, is life-long learning. Education is not the restricted kindergarten to high school (k-12) box that mainstream uses. It is from this point that we begin and return. If the original people believe that “education” is a life-long exercise:

then how is k-12 reflective of this assertion? It isn’t.

The year for the original people is not linear coupled with the few token announcements of an oppressive government clearing its conscience. The original people watch for signs including the first thunder and mark the seasons in acceptance of the work that they fulfill in accordance with Creator’s laws.

We review our time by how much we use our languages, who have we been able to help, and by how much have we followed the original ways of our forefathers, to the best of our ability. This is spiritual awareness. This is spiritual upkeep. This is spiritual wealth. We remember our language when we sing or are in ceremony. We hear the language of the land in the waters and winds. We hear the language of plants and animals. We are all related.

We count the blessings of good hunts, the distribution of meat or harvested goods. We think about laughter and the combined efforts to collect and share in the abundance of this land. We remember to be thankful.

We follow the land and

our relations marking time in an honorable way that is not contained in colonized calendars. We follow the ancient paths of our ancestors. We walk on a road that brings us to our spiritual purpose. We are one with Creation.

We teach our children pride, history and resilience. Creator lends us these children so we try to bring them up in a good way. We acknowledge their journey with signs that are specific to our people. This may be their first meal, first steps, first laugh or later as they become maidens or warriors.

We honour the passing of our sages and kinsmen.

We reflect on their contributions to the community, to the people. We walk into the next world with determination and conviction.

These are the ways that have always existed for our people. These are the ways that were given to the original peoples. Can this be reconciled with linear thinking?

Mainstream society measures everything by money. There is great noise made in this land about economic wealth.

This noise has ruptured the earth with drilling or

blasting. This noise has corrupted the gentle lull of streams and rivers making them strangled murmurs or choked gurgling. This is not a natural sound. It is the manmade sound of greed and anger.

When the original people take stock of our lives in the colder months, we hear the quiet. We reflect. We pray and we are thankful. We are thankful to Creator that we have seen many seasons. We are thankful for the times spent as a family, clan or community. We prepare and offer so that our relationship with all Creation will remain harmonious.

This is not linear thinking.

The harsh linear thinking of mainstream rushes to get instant answers. In technology, immediate responses raise expectations. There is no patience, no wonder, and no introspection. There is frustration, privilege and false importance. Real values of love, caring and kindness fall to the wayside. Success comes with destruction. Is this progress?

The word, that mainstream is using to finally fulfill their treaty and inherent obligations, is false.

That word is reconcilia-

tion.

Is reconciliation possible without understanding?

The original people have been trying to teach the newcomers about our ways for five centuries.

Have they learned? Have they learned to respect the land and waters? Have they learned to be thankful for the plants and animal life? Have they understood our worldview?

We hear from this mainstream government continuously about what they are doing to honour the relationship between the original peoples and themselves. How honorable is it if, after five centuries, we maintain the same relationship?

The spiritual understanding of the original people cannot be regulated to checking boxes or using meaningless words. The spiritual understanding of the original people is alive and in practice. This is why reconciliation is false.

There is no attachment or love for the land, waters and Creation where colonized thinking sees dollars. There is no understanding of a spiritual people in a spiritless society.

There can be no reconcili-

ation.

As the original people come to the time before the land wakes up, they are regaining their strength. The original people are preparing to protect the land and waters. The original people prepare by praying and following the instructions of Creator.

The pretense of mainstream is wearing thin.

There cannot be “progress” or success when all life is interrelated. This is the lesson that mainstream is only beginning to understand.

As we come to the close of the colonizer’s linear year, we as the original people must uphold our sacred obligations. We must remember who we are and how we came to be here at this time and place.

We must remember the prophecies and the instructions to steward the land and waters.

We must remember that the Creator has lent us this great island.

Our ancestors did not care about money, status or token awards; they cared about life, renewal and harmony. That is what we must remember each cycle when we review our paths as spiritual people.

TWO ROW TIMES

December 20th, 2017

Rations cut by Canada Many people just beginning to understand the episode in Canadian History known as the residential schools era may wonder, how did parents react when their son or daughter begged them not to send them back into the abuse that institution promised them.

The first thing to know is that Indian children were gathered up like orphans from the streets of their home reserves sometimes without their parents even knowing what happened to them for days, weeks, or in cer-

tain cases, never knowing.

Others were sold the bill of goods that the residential schools would make their children’s lives much better than they would be without this “education.” As the people Canada are now aware, sending these children into these institutions had only one goal — complete assimilation and total cultural genocide.

A copy of a letter dated July 24th, 1935, addressed to J.H. MacIntosh, Calling Lake Alberta, sent on Indian Affairs letterhead by Indian Agent, N.P.

L’Heureau offers a glance into how the residential schools dealt with concerned parents.

Dear Sir: Last winter J.B Gambler, an Indian of Calling Lake has taken his children away from the Wabasca R.C. School without the assent of the Principal and when the Magistrate acting as Truant Officer, went to him to regain possession of the children he used abusive language, and threatened to shoot him.

As the above mentioned J.B. Gambler is in receipt of a monthly ration, I have to order that

same to be cut off entirely until such a time as I am able to reverse my decision. Thus cannot be expected until the children are back in school at Wabasca and Gambler’s amends resented to principal and Magistrate there.

Your account dated 7th of July is being passed as published.

Yours faithfully, N.P. L’Heureux Indian Agent It is not known if the children were ever returned to the school and what happened to them.

Our staff would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and safe Holiday!

Thank you for your business.

Bozhoo Mskwaa Giizo Kwe Ndigo An open letter from 13 year old water advocate Autumn Peltier of Wikwemikong Unceded Territory, Manitoulin Island. Peltier will be speaking at the U.N. special assembly in New York next year.

Bozhoo MskwaaGiizo Kwe Ndigo (my name is Redmoon Woman).

Migizi Ndodem (I am Eagle Clan).

Wiikwemkoong Ndoojibaa (I come from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory).

My role as Anishinaanbe-kwe is to protect our water and mother earth.

And as a youth that is what our role should be, to learn these teachings so we can protect our land and waters. Since I was a young girl my mother and my great auntie Josephine Mandamin shared teachings on our traditional way of life, learning about the land, respecting life, respecting myself, learning medicines and learning about our sacred water.

At an early age I learned how sacred water (nibi) is to all of creation from my great auntie Josephine. Her work caught my attention as it made me think, “what would we do without water”? and that thought scared me. I saw my great auntie walk around the Great Lakes and I participated in several water walks myself in my lifetime praying for our water. She travels all over the land advocating for our water, and she is getting older and her health isn’t good and this concerns me. What will happen when she can’t travel no more? Who will speak for our water?

So all these thoughts go through my mind and I decided I would also speak up for our water, as it is not just my future, but my great grand children’s future, and children around the world.

She is my inspiration and she has taught me to understand the sacredness of water, I live by these teachings on a daily

Autumn Peltier. basis and have so much love and respect for our water and our lands. Understanding that we come from water and lived in water for nine months really it home for me.

Hearing how I breathed in that water from my mother, and that I am a part of my mother, and we are all a part of mother earth. The same life blood that flows within mother earth flows within us, we are water. Water has a spirit and is alive. There are scientific studies that prove this. This sacred water sustains all of life and sustains us each day as we can’t live without water.

If we don’t have fresh water everything dies, everything gets sick. Our water is getting sicker faster than we can decide on ways to fix it. Each day the water gets contaminated by humans in some way. We also should not have to pay for water, or live on a monthly water supply because we can’t drink the water. Water comes from the earth she doesn’t charge us for it.

We take it and we put a price on it for profit. We

take everything from the land and mother earth only suffers she doesn’t profit from our consumption and destruction. We put pipelines on lands that destroy the land and destroy the waters, and the companies do this destruction without consent or without asking our people about traditional burial sites or sacred lands.

Or the companies don’t ask the animals how they feel that they destroy their lands and destroy their natural habitat.

When Mother Earth suffers, everything suffers.

We need her, she doesn’t need us as she has been in existence for billions of years. Having access to clean drinking water is a basic human right, no child should have to worry about water. Drinking bottled water has to stop.

Anyone can do this work, I do this work not for me for any gain. I do this for my great grandchildren, I do it for the ones that don’t have a voice, I do it for my people, but most of all I do it for our water, she has a spirit that is crying out and we are not listening.

She needs a voice. So I will lend her my voice and I will not stop advocating for clean drinking water until children in my country and around the world can drink their water. We need to stand together for all of humanity and mother earth and protect our waters.

SNEC hears fill concerns

By Chezney Martin

SIX NATIONS – In the evening of Tuesday, December 19, Lisa VanEvery, Joleen Johnson and “Mike Rosher,” a representative from GTA Fill Earthworks presented before Six Nations Elected Council in regards

to the line fill dumping on Fourth Line. The dumping has raised concern by Six Nations community members and councillors as they fear it will become a repeat of the land fill issues on Third Line. Several concerns were brought up by the councillors, and

the delegation ended with the promise that VanEvery and Johnson will provide a list of the stages and steps they wish to take before council proceeds on making their decision to allow a fill of 5,000 loads at the 48 acre estate.

MENLO PARK — It's not quite like tobacco companies warning about the dangers of smoking, but Facebook is acknowledging something many already know: Using social media can be bad for your health.

The social media giant whose platform has become a daily addiction for hundreds of millions of people sheds light in a blog post Friday on what it says are two sides of the issue.

It notes research showing an increase in teen depression with technology

use. It also points to its own research that shows improvements in well-being from interacting with close friends online.

Facebook, of course, thrives when people engage with its platform.

Facebook's Director of Research David Ginsberg and research scientist Moira Burke cite a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that found University of Michigan students randomly assigned to read Facebook for 10 minutes were in a worse mood at the end of the day than

students assigned to post or talk to friends on the platform.

It also cited research that Facebook researcher Burke conducted with a Carnegie Mellon professor that it says shows sending or receiving direct messages or posts and comments on one's timeline boost psychological well-being. ``Simply broadcasting status updates wasn't enough; people had to interact one-on-one with others in their network,'' the company says in its blog.

Brantford home sales set November record

By TRT staff

TAX FREE DISCOUNT PRICING GENUINE CRAFTS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

December 20th, 2017

BRANTFORD – The number of homes sold through the MLS System of the Brantford Regional Real Estate Association came in well above year-ago levels in November 2017.

According to statistics reported by the Association, residential property sales numbered 195 units in November. This was up 13.4 per cent from November 2016, and marked a new record for month of November.

Home sales in 2017 have numbered a record 2,420 units over the first 11 months of the year, up 6.9 per cent from 2016.

This was also a record for the period.

“November marked the fifth time this year that home sales have set a new monthly record, putting 2017 on track to be the best year the local housing market has ever seen,” said Shelly Gracey, 2017 President of the Brantford Regional Real Estate Association. “With supply up a bit from last year’s lows, things are perhaps a little bit calmer than they were last fall. That said, with less than two months of

inventory it is still very much a sellers’ market, and properties are still selling fairly quickly.”

The average price of homes sold in November 2017 was $376,540. This was up 7.7 per cent on a year-over- year basis.

The year-to-date average price was $400,446, rising 18.4 per cent from the first 11 months of 2016.

New residential listings numbered 200 units in November, an increase of 3.1 per cent from the low experienced in November 2016.

Overall supply is up from last year but remains historically very low. There were just 342 active residential listings left on the Association’s MLS System at the end of November 2017, up 25.3 per cent from the extreme lows of one year earlier but still the second lowest level ever for this time of the year.

There were just 1.8 months of inventory at the end of November 2017, roughly in line with the 1.6 months recorded at the end of November 2016 and well below the longterm average of about six

months. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity.

With the market a bit better supplied than it was last year, homes spent a little more time on the market in November 2017 than they had a year earlier.

The median number of days on market for homes sold through the Association’s MLS System was 23 in November 2017, up from 17 days in November 2016.

The dollar value of home sales in November 2017 was $73.4 million, surging 22.1 per cent on a year-over- year basis.

This was by far the highest November value on record. November dollar volume had previous never even topped the $61 million mark.

Total sales activity numbered 208 units in November 2017, up 8.3 per cent from the same month in 2016. The total value of all property sales amounted to $79.2 million, an increase of 13.8 per cent from November 2016.

Threats of school shooting continued from 2 dance at the school had retuned to normal by Tuesday afternoon. “There will be a continuing police presence at the school as Brantford Police conduct their investigation. We have been assured by our police partners that all measures are in place to keep students safe at the school,” wrote Midgley.

“North Park Collegiate is a strong community and I take pride in knowing that everyone is doing their best to help during this difficult time.”

Midgley requested parents and students not share or re-post messages or screenshots of any further threats that appear on social media — but instead bring the information straight to police.

Parents of the students whose names appeared on the “hit list” shared on social media late last week how disturbing and unsettling it was for their children to see their personal information being shared across the internet in relation to the case.

Because of the risks associated with the mental anguish and possible copycat threats — NPC staff and police are continuing to ask the public not to share or repost.

NPC Vice Principal Jeff Brinson issed a statement Tuesday evening saying, “Brantford Police continue to conduct their investigation, and an on-going police presence is expected to remain at the school this week. We

have been assured by our police partners that all measures are in place to keep students safe. We also have a wide range of supports available for students at the school.”

Parents are being asked to continue to monitor their student’s social media and report anything suspicious to the police immediately.

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact Brantford Police Det. Chad Francis of the major crime unit at 519-7560113, ext. 2272.

Anonymous tips can also be called in to Brant-Brantford Crime Stoppers at 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477.

Teaching new hands old skills at Evelyn's Fabrics

By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – With the quickly approaching holidays and Mid-Winter Ceremonies, traditional clothing orders have increased at Evelyn's Fabrics.

But to offer a new way of interacting with community members that wish to know how to make their own traditional regalia, Evelyn's Fabrics Owner Christina Bomberry arranged classes to teach how to make traditional-style skirts from Tuesday, December 12 until Thursday, December 14.

However, many would assume that teaching those that are interested in how to make traditional regalia themselves would cause shop to lose business. But Bomberry said that this isn't so.

“At one point I was kind of concerned that the more that I teach, the less orders I'll get. But the reality was no,” she said. “The thing was, was that it's teaching [the students] how much time it actually takes and what kind of effort it actually takes to make the clothing. So, they're like 'okay I get it, that's why it costs what it costs, but still, you go ahead and make it for me,'” she said. “It created more customers and stronger appreciation.”

After paying a supplies

The skirt-making classes took place from Tuesday, December 12 to Thursday, December 14 within Evelyn's Fabrics and invited anyone interested in learning how to sew, cut and measure a traditional-style skirt.

Another set of classes are to continue December 19 to 21, with participants from outside of the Six Nations community to attend. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN fee, students also get to take their skirts home after customizing them to their liking.

For the two weeks Bomberry has worked with and will be working with roughly 12 students, and she encourages the process of learning how to sew immensely.

“What I'm doing this for is to encourage more sewers,” she said. “I want to encourage it. As soon as somebody learns how to sew and sees what they can actually make, they're keen to want to make more.”

“Once you get them realizing that they can

make gifts, you know with Christmas time coming, that that's the initial reason. Just to encourage it.”

She explained that each of the students began their projects from scratch, and they were also shown the old-traditional method of working without a pattern.

“Everything was prepared by themselves; showing them how they have to actually measure themselves too,” she said.”So, it's again showing them how to visually figure things out without patterns and that's why I started these classes out with skirts.”

In other words, the more intricate the project, the harder and more intense it becomes for sewers that don't use patterns. But, Bomberry said that she was surprised by how much interest was shown in regards to learning how to sew and now that she knows, she hopes to continue to offer the classes.

The classes are set to continue again this week until Thursday as well, and in the future Bomberry hopes to teach how to make traditional ribbon shirts.

Proposed Niagara Reinforcement Line engagement comes to a close Submitted Article SIX NATIONS – Six Nations Future (SNF) in collaboration with Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) hosted its final community engagement session for the proposed Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL) project on Thursday, December 14 at the Gathering Place by the Grand Event Centre.

After obtaining an independent financial assessment, Matt Jamieson, President/CEO of SNGRDC announced a 25 per cent ownership in the line would yield a net cash flow of not less than $25 million throughout the next 48 years. “Annual distributions will sufficiently cover the interest and principle while yielding an annual surplus cash flow. The Advisory Committee can then direct those funds to the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust for investment in Community priorities,” said Jamieson.

Once long-term debt is retired, the investment will retain a residual value of not less than $8 million. If the project receives general community acceptance, SNGRDC will secure financing and manage the 25 per cent ownership stake on behalf of the Six Nations community. This would require an investment of $12.5 million assuming SNGRDC finances 100 per cent, over 30 years, at an interest rate of four per cent. The investment is considered low-risk and will produce an internal rate of return of approximately five per cent, during the period where debt exists. The next steps will be for the SNGRDC Board of Directors and Advisory Committee to independently review the final report and make a recommendation to the Six Nations Elected Council for ratification. The decision and report will be posted to the SNF website by early March.

all our relations.

Returning sacred objects lifts Indigenous communities The Canadian Press Ryan Heavy Hand had been helping First Nations bring home ceremonial objects from museums for years, but this call from an institution in Oregon was a first. ``The museum had a beaver bundle,'' said Heavy Hand, referring to one of the Blackfoot people's most sacred and ceremonially important objects.

Many institutions were reluctant for such items to leave their collections, but not this one. ``(This museum) actually phoned the tribe and said, 'Can somebody come and pick this up? Our staff are hearing animals sounds in the storage .. where the bundle was kept. ``'They'd just like you to come and take it and bring it back home.'''

First Nations have been repatriating items for decades now. Masks, rattles, bundles, medicine pipes, bentwood boxes and headdresses in the hundreds have left urban museum cases and collection storehouses for the lands where they were made.

And, when they arrive, they no longer sit behind glass. Many have resumed their place at the heart of Indigenous cultural life.

They have become spiritual and artistic inspirations to the descendants of those who made them. ``It definitely gave life to a lot of people,'' said Jerry Potts Jr., a Piikani elder from southern Alberta, who was involved in many repatriations of Blackfoot ceremonial items. ``There's universities and collections all over that have given stuff back to the communities that's back in full use right now.''

The movement home began in the 1970s, driven by the desire of young Indigenous people to revive their ceremonies and traditions

before the elders who knew them died. Many of those ceremonies had one-of-akind objects at their heart and many, if not most, were in museums, universities and private collections.

Getting them back was hard work, said Heavy Hand.

In 1994, he sat down with a fat directory of museums worldwide and sent out 4,000 form letters asking them if they had any Blackfoot material. Almost 200 museums wrote back saying they did. ``There were many, many thousands of items,'' he said. ``All of the major museums in Canada have really big Blackfoot collections.''

On the West Coast, Andy Wilson, co-founder of the Skidegate and Haida repatriation committees, was getting summer students to look through museum catalogues and write letters. ``They had to be proactive about it,'' he said. ``Now, museums are starting to contact First Nations.''

Sometimes negotiations took months; sometimes they took years.

Museums were reluctant to part with some artifacts or were uncertain about where they should go. First Nations had to work out who was entitled to receive the material and how the transfer should be done.

They were determined.

Bundles are considered to be living things that gain strength from use and which connect their owners to their creation myths.

The objects started coming home. And, as soon as they did, the ceremonies and societies that depended on them resumed.

In 1992, a thunder medicine pipe bundle was used for the first time in 30 years. A decade or so later, the Blackfoot had posses-

sion of and were using all 25 bundles associated with the Horn society. ``I don't think (that society) has been complete since about 1923,'' wrote the late Kainai elder Frank Weasel Head in a recent book on repatriation titled ``We Are Coming Home.''

For Wilson, repatriation involved artifacts and human remains. The Haida had almost lost the art of making bentwood boxes, used, among other things, for burials.

Wilson and others used the returned boxes _ and totem poles, drums, masks, paddles and rattles _ to relearn how to make them.

The boxes were painted, but not just with any design. ``It's got to be your family crest,'' said Wilson. ``And if you don't know what your crests are, then you have to go and ask your family about it. You have to open that line of communication and history.''

The return of the bentwood boxes also led people to recover the songs and language appropriate to their use. ``It's an emotional thing,'' Wilson said. ``All this stuff was beaten out of them (and) when they're doing it, they realize how much they've lost, so there's quite a bit of grief in there.''

For the Blackfoot, repatriation has meant rejuvenation. Many of the traditional societies _ the Brave Dogs, the Horns _ have bounced back.

Potts said his reserve used to have the resources for one pipe ceremony a year, but now they can do two or three on the same day. ``There's people that make vows to (bundles) for sickness, for good luck.

There's been nothing less than miracles that have happened from some of the ceremonial protocols.''

Tribes oppose planned bioterror tests near Oklahoma graves The Canadian Press

TULSA — Five Native American tribes that own an Oklahoma site where the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intends to conduct bioterrorism drills next year now oppose the government's plan, saying the agency didn't inform them about chemicals it plans to release on grounds the tribes consider sacred because more than 100 children are buried there.

The Oklahoma-based Council of Confederated Chilocco Tribes is made up of five tribes that jointly own what's left of the former Chilocco Indian Agricultural School outside Newkirk where the testing would be conducted. The Chilocco school, which operated from the late 1800s until 1980, was one of several federally run boarding schools where the U.S. once sought to assimilate Native American children.

The tribes say the federal agency is failing to protect a site with religious and cultural significance. ``Often when a child died at the school, the family didn't have the money to bring the body home, so they were buried at the school cemetery,'' said Heather Payne, a spokeswoman for the Otoe-Missouria Tribe.

Many of the graves are unmarked, she said. The site, about 100 miles (160 kilometres) northwest of Tulsa, near Oklahoma's border with Kansas, also is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Homeland Security is leasing the site to conduct

drills that it says will help it determine how authorities can best clean up after a bioterror attack and how much chemicals might penetrate buildings. But the tribal council issued a statement this past week opposing the testing. The tribes say the substances the government plans to release are ``potentially dangerous,'' though Homeland Security has insisted they're harmless.

The other tribes that are part of the council are the Kaw Nation, Pawnee Nation, Ponca Tribe and Tonkawa Tribe.

Homeland Security spokesman John Verrico declined to comment on the tribe's statement until the agency finishes reviewing the more than 300 public comments it has received on the project draft.

The government announced plans for the bioterror drills in a legal notice last month in Newkirk's weekly newspaper. Many residents found out about the plans after the editor of the Newkirk Herald Journal decided the notice buried in his 900-circulation paper was front-page news.

About 9,000 people from the farming town and surrounding communities, including Arkansas City, Kansas, just across the Oklahoma border, signed a petition seeking more information from Homeland Security. Dozens showed up at community meetings, demanding answers.

Scientists say the cluster of buildings at the Newkirk site best resemble single-family homes and commercial buildings

in any U.S. city.

Homeland Security says the chemicals it wants to use are found in common household products such as sunscreen, cosmetics and laundry detergents.

One chemical that's caused the most worry, especially among the many farmers who live nearby, is called DiPel, a biological insecticide that's been commercially available since the 1970s and approved for use in organic farming.

The Homeland Security project manager has said the chemicals won't pose harm to humans, animals or hundreds of acres of nearby cropland and pasture.

But the tribal group and some residents aren't convinced. ``We stand united in opposition to the use of Chilocco for testing of potentially dangerous substances,'' John Shotton, a spokesman for the tribal council, said in a statement. ``Many of our tribal members went to school here. Indian children are buried here.''

Newkirk resident Brian Hobbs, a 40-year old construction worker who's helped organize opposition to the testing, said the five tribes' opposition could make the difference in whether the government goes through with the tests or abandons its plans. ``It doesn't matter how many signatures we had, to have them come here and be unified like that, it must be pretty egregious and serious to get all five on the same page,'' Hobbs said Friday.

ACE Anishnaabe Youth to Speak at United Nations arts. culture. entertainment.

“I am from this land. My ancestors are buried here on this land. This land is our land and it’s part of me and part of everything I am and everything I do,” Autumn Peltier, CBC News.

More than 140 Indigenous nations still do not have access to safe drinking water.

Communities like Kitigan Zibi haven't had access to clean drinking water now for over 30 years, and Ontario's Neskantaga First Nation has been on a boil water advisory for 23.

Within Haudenosaunee teachings of roles and responsibilities, women are tied closely to water for their ability to give life – but with traditionalities aside; human cells, tissues and the maintenance of bodily functions are still powered by water. This makes the protection of and access to clean, healthy drinking water one of the most important issues faced by indigenous nations today,

even though it shouldn't be.

This is why the message of young Anishnaabe water advocate Autumn Peltier, 13, and the messages of other water protectors and advocates are growing increasingly important.

"I know that just from seeing and speaking in other places, I know that tons of people are hearing the message that me and tons of other people are trying to get out," said Peltier to CBC News.

"Protecting water and just getting our message and I know that there's a lot people listening and learning still that are protecting the water with us."

The young member of the Eagle Clan from the Wikwemikong Unceded First Nation in Northern Ontario will be travelling to speak at the United Nations (UN) in the Spring – the same day as World Water Day. She was just eight years old when she began advocating for water protection, and it was her aunt Josephine Man-

damin that inspired her to do so by passing on the knowledge of the sacredness of water. She is now passing on her knowledge to all as she will address world leaders during the UN General Assembly in New York for the declaration of the International Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development.

"I'm representing my First Nations Peoples and I'm representing the water,” she said. "This is a huge thing that the world needs to hear and pay attention to what's going to happen to our planet.”

Not only is Peltier the only child living in Canada to be nominated for the 2017 International Children's Peace Prize, she will also be receiving the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers in January at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario; which is a national award that recognizes the contributions she made to her community.

“I do what I do for the water because water is sacred,” she said. “We all

need water. We wouldn't be able to live without water, nothing would.”

The teachings surrounding water are both sacred and precious, but have become rare in many indigenous cultures as the aftermath of colonization has taken its toll. Although Peltier has mixed emotions on the history of Canada as she has relatives that served in both World Wars, yet has seen the toll taken during the country's history, she still looks at being in existence today as a call for rejoice.

“My people should be celebrating resilience because we are still here and we survived the whole time.”

Now it is only a matter of ensuring that the world survives too.

Mercer and a Mohawk

Back on November 22nd, comedian Rick Mercer aired an episode of his award winning Rick Mercer Report 41 stories atop a Toronto high rise under construction with Six Nations ironworker Skylar Williams. The episode is hilarious and Williams may have dethroned singer Jan Arden as Mercer's most foulmouthed guest of all time. All in good fun though. "They were here all day filming, last October," says Williams. "It just aired Nov. 22nd. Mercer is a really good guy. We had a lot of laughs together with him and the crew."

Brantford Blast goaltending tandem of Anthony Marshall (left) and Brett Legatt (right) has been together since the 2011-12 campaign, but Leggat has been with Blast owner Peter Ham since the beginning of the fraanchies, in fact, before the beginning. Leggat played goal for Ham's Jr. A Roller Hockey team, the Hamilton Firewheels. Leggat has played for the Brantford Blast in 2005-2006, left for a stretch to play in Tillsonburg and Dundas, but returned in 2010-2011 and has been back every year since and have become great friends andeans of one another.

The Blast’s defence turned nearly invisible in the second period, but the Generals barrage of 19 second period shots added nothing to the scoreboard. Brantford only managed seven shots with no goals.

TWO ROW TIMES

Corvairs on top at Christmas Break

SPORTS BRANTFORD – Brett Leggat has played some great games at the Brantford and District Civic Centre since first suiting up for the Brantford Blast of the Allan Cup Hockey league for the 2005 to 2005 season. But his performance in last Friday’s 4-3 win against the league leading Stoney Creek Generals has to rank among his best.

Going into the game, the Blast were dead last in the standings with a 2-9-0 record and Stoney Creek (9-3-0) was on top in a classic worst-versusfirst scenario. The results might have been predictable, had it not been for Leggat who faced 61 shots, standing tall on 58 of them.

There was lots of excitement in the first period going both ways in a period that produced a total of six goals. Brantford got started at 3:01 with Zach McQuade’s goal assisted by Charlie Stephens.

The Generals counter attacked quickly with Kiev’s Igor Gongalsky who evened the score at 4:15.

Cameron Sault scored an, “oh-no-you-don’t” goal at 5:10, from Dave Russell to restore the Blast lead. The Generals once again tied the game before Sault, the Blast’s most consistent performer, set up Derek Medeiros

night, holding the best team in the league off against 22, third period shots, allowing one.

That was a Stoney Creek powerplay goal scored at 19:49.

“Actually, playing against Stoney Creek I know it was going to be a bust night,” said Leggat.

“Sixty-one is a lot, but it’s not the most I faced. Tat

was I think back in 04 or 05, against Dundas there was 72 shots.”

Leggat won that one too.

However, the magic would not last two games in a row, and the Blast were defeated 7-3 by the Whitby Dunlops, Saturday night in Whitby.

Cam Sault kept up his consistent pace, despite

the loss, scoring two goals and now has 10 goals, 10 assists in 11 games.

The Blast will now take some time off for the Christmas Break, returning Friday January 5th, 2018 in Hamilton against the Steelhawks. But when they return to the Civic centre the Blast will play on home ice for the next four Friday nights.

The Glanbrook Regals contributed to the Hagersville Hawks’ poor season so far with a 5-3 win Saturday night in Hagersville. Noah Matteson and Brad Paris established a 2-0 first period lead for the Regals the score remained the same until 15:32 of the second frame when Harrison Larochelle cut the lead in half for Hagersville, but they could not muster a rally. Less than a minute later, Glanbrook reestablished a two goal lead at 3-1.

Each team traded two goals apiece in the third period, Nick Vissar and Tycie Cowan for Hagersville, and the Regals added two more points to their first place standing.

Hagersville dropped to 8-16-2, but it could be worse. Simcoe is in last place with a 2-24-1 record giving the Hawks someone to look down upon.

Last Tuesday, the Hagersville Hawks lost 6-4 to Grimsby.

Sunday, the Hawks faced the bottom dwelling Storm in a battle of ineptitude.

Thursday, Dec. 21, the Haws will be in Niagara before returning to the Hagersville arena Sat. Dec. 23rd.

CALEDONIA – Saturday night at the Haldimand Centre the powerful and hot, Caledonia ProFit Corvairs took on the third place Welland Jr. Canadians. By the end of the second period the visiting Canadians looked as though Caledonia was going to loose some ground.

Caledonia’s Jeff Lindsay made it 1-0 at 11:47 of the first period assisted

by James Farmer-Valente and Mark Bzowey. But the tide turned quickly in the second period and by the beginning of the third period, Caledonia was trailing the Canadians 3-1.

Coach Mike Bullard realigned the Corvairs’ front end between periods and the Corvairs came out with something to prove, scoring consecutive goals by Jesse Barwell, Owen Lane, Adam Craievich, Sean O’Brien and Bobby Harrison.

The come from behind win further secures the Corvairs first place standing placing them 10 points ahead of the sec-

The league leading Corvairs left a message in Friday night’s game against the Falcons and it was a big one. Realistically, the

only team that is going to challenge the Corvairs as the season goes on will be the Falcons, but at least at this point in the schedule, even the Falcons are no match for Caledonia.

Dillon Lamarche kept the Corvairs off the score-

sheet for the first 20 minutes while Michael Davies scored one to carry a 1-0 lead into the second period.

That was like poking the lion and Caledonia roared back with four straight seconds period

Ducks still can’t hold a lead

By Jim Windle

ANAHEIM – The Anaheim Ducks’ trouble holding onto leads this season continued Saturday night when Alex Ovechkin scored at 1:58 of overtime to complete the Washington Capitals’ 3-2 come back win.

"Overtime hasn't been our friend (2-0-7). It's kind of been a knife in the side of a few of us," Said Ducks coach Randy Carlyle.

Washington is 13-2-0 at home since Nov. 2, and Ovechkin has 17 points (10 goals, seven assists) in his past 12 games.

The Ducks took a 2-0 lead after two periods on goals scored by Derek Grant and Jakob Silfverberg. But Ovi and crew were not about to let that stand without a challenge.

Nicklas Backstrom

Anaheim Ducks' Six Nations contribution, Brandon Montour has been kept silent over the past four Ducks outings, but it isn't like he is not getting the chances. It's just a matter of time before Motor finds his range again. SUBMITTED PHOTO broke the Washington gooseegg at 3:05 of the third, followed by Evgeny Kuznetsov’s trig goal at 7:27.

No one could score that deciding goal in reg-

ulation time and it went to the dreaded overtime period where the Ducks have struggled lately.

“Ovi” made ‘em pay at 3:03 of the overtime period with a snapshot past

John Gibson for the game winner with a long shot from the blue line that Gibson would like to have back. The “up” side is that the Ducks still took a point out of Washington.

Former Devil, Brantford’s Adam Henrique who is leading all Ducks scoring with scored his eighth goal of the year and assisted on another in a 5-3 loosing cause Monday night against the New Jersey Devils.

Tuesday, the Ducks flew into New York for a showdown with the Rangers at Madison Square Gardens, in a game that will miss our deadline. Henrique leads all Duck scorers with 22 points while Brandon Montour leads all Duck defenders, but has been held pointless in the last four games, not scoring a point since Dec. 8th.

goals scored by Owen Lane, Bobby Harrison, Mark Bzowey and Matt Weston. Davies got St. Kitts’ second and last goal at 15:00.

With the score 4-2, the Falcons pulled Lamarche, perhaps a bit early, and

Adam Craievich popped in Caledonia’s fifth goal into an open net.

This week’s coverage began last Tuesday night with an 11-0 sparing match with the Buffalo Regals in a game where everyone who dressed except the goalie put a point beside his name.

Buffalo is still looking for its second win of the season.

The Corvairs will not play again as a team until the new year, but some players will participate in the annual all-star game played on Dec. 28th at the Morgan Firestone Arena, 385 Jerseyville Road, in Ancaster.

It’s a two-game showcase of the league’s top prospects beginning at 3 pm with the top 16-year-olds followed by the leagues’ best 17 and 18-year-olds at 6:30.

Selected from the Corvairs for the Prospects Game were young goalie Pierce Charleston, Bobby Harrison and Owen Lane.

T.J. Hughes was selected for the GOJHL Future Stars game.

Ducks players Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Francois Beauchemin, Antoine Vermette and Brandon Montour paid a visit to CHOC Children's Hospital in Anaheim with gifts and selfies with the five Ducks players. The visit lifted the spirits of some of the the sick kids of Anaheim and the players are always happy to participate. It was part of the club's Christmas season program to bring holiday cheer to kids and families at CHOC. The 12th annual Kits for Kids Donation Drive included Ducks players making room-to-room visits to deliver Wild Wingers Kids Club kits, blankets and autographs for the kids under medical care and their excited and thankful parents.

3d Fall Shootout

Iroquois Golden Eagles outfitted by Nike

By Jim Windle with files

DOVER/DELAWARE – High school age lacrosse talent from Six Nations, Akwesasne and Cattaraugus were included in the 2018 to 2019 edition of the 3d Lacrosse/Nike Lacrosse Fall Shootout, an annual club lacrosse tournament that draws about 90 teams on back-to-back days.

The Iroquois Golden Eagles team also includes American Indian teens from across the lacrosse world who may never have a chance to be scouted for College programs.

Golden Eagles competed in the 2018 to 2019 division at the tournament at the DE Turf Sports Complex just outside of Dover, Delaware.

In the U.S. northwest especially, field lacrosse is king and High School lacrosse programs. In this area, box lacrosse is the game. Although the games are distinctly different in many ways, the player skills are transferable and even box players are welcome to apply for the Iroquois team.

In fact, of the 23 players on the roster, a good number of them had never competed at a club field tournament of any sort. Some, like the Iroquois content from Canada, hail from reserve were box lacrosse players may have rarely stepped onto a lacrosse field.

3d and Nike teamed up to sponsor The Iroquois Golden Eagles team and the tournament with a line

High school age lacrosse talent from Six Nations, Akwesasne and Cattaraugus were included in the 2018 to 2019 edition of the 3d Lacrosse/Nike Lacrosse Fall Shootout, an annual club lacrosse tournament that draws about 90 teams on back-to-back days. SUBMITTED PHOTO of professional quality lacrosse equipment, head to foot.

They are test marketing Nike’s new line and have outfitted Team Iroquois with the latest in lacrosse gear, including the new Thompson Brothers-inspired limited edition Nike Alpha Huarache 6 Elite Lax cleat and Nike uniforms emblazoned with the Golden Eagles logo designed by Nike athlete Lyle Thompson.

Players also used the new Nike Lakota 2 head, the new Nike Vapor Elite gloves and other apparel.

At this fall’s tournament, the team would loose its first outing but go on to win the next five games by a combined score of 39-18, taking on field teams from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Alberta.

“We certainly competed to win, but the game results isn’t what this was ultimately about,” said Chris

Doctor, one of the Iroquois Golden Eagles coaches and a Co-Director of 3d Lacrosse’s Tri-State region.

“This was a terrific opportunity for Native American kids to join together and compete in a club setting that, for the most part, is foreign to all but a handful of the kids on the team.

We hope it’s the start of something special.”

The program began seven years ago and has been growing in stature and credibility since. This is a great showcase tournament for high school age players looking for a college of university invitation.

The tournament now attracts 150 or more colleges recruiters and coaches.

Doctor played college lacrosse at Rutgers University and spent 10 years as a Division I college coach before joining 3d Lacrosse team. He was a coach with the Iroquois Nationals men’s field squad in 2014, a coach with the under-19 Iroquois squad in 2016 and will be on the men’s staff again in 2018 when the team travels to Israel.

“Bringing these guys to a tournament like this, they’re exposed not only to the coaches but the landscape where a lot of the games most recruited players are seen,” Doctor told Inside Lacrosse. “And over time, this sort of exposure and blending of those two worlds will help get more Native American kids playing college lacrosse and put more kids on a better path in life. It

will also strengthen the men’s Iroquois program by way of a ripple effect from the youth level to the Iroquois men’s teams.”

Matt Rowley, 3d Lacrosse’s National Club Director, adds, “The whole idea was to bring up-andcoming Native American players together and expose them to the club

world as a group in way that they’d really enjoy but also benefit from as well.

We wanted to not only celebrate Native American Heritage Month with our partners at Nike, but we also wanted to showcase a group of talented players – many of them unknown to college recruiters – in a system that we believe in.”

The earmark of the High school Shootout program is bringing young Indigenous talent and lacrosse recruiters together in a showcase format.

“One of the important reasons for doing this is the simple fact that so many of these kids will get through their high school years and not be seen by college coaches,” said Doctor, who hails from Central New York and is of Mohawk descent.

“These guys came to a big event and in many ways stole the show with their highlight-reel plays, but just as impressive was the

tenacity and passion they played with every time they stepped on the field.

They really showcased our game well at a high-profile event and put even more eyes on the teams there that weekend.”

Being selected to play in the tournament is also a first step towards building a stronger Team Iroquois FIL Men’s World Field Lacrosse Championships.

“Bringing these guys to a tournament like this, they’re exposed not only to the coaches but the landscape where a lot of the games most recruited players are seen. And over time, this sort of exposure and blending of those two worlds will help get more Native American kids playing college lacrosse and put more kids on a better path in life. It will also strengthen the men’s Iroquois program by way of a ripple effect from the youth level to the Iroquois men’s teams,” says Doctor.

Matthews punishes Miller in Mississauga

By Jonathan Garlow MISSISSAUGA – Brantford boxer Winston “The Punisher” Matthews (22-2) defeated Gregory Miller, Saturday December 16th at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.

Matthews scored an early knock down in the second round which led to a victory by unanimous decision.

It was a four-round fight.

“It feels pretty good man,” the boxer said in a calm manner over the phone. “There have been nine boxers from Brantford who have tried to win at the Hershey Centre and I’m the first.”

Matthews, better known locally as Jus Win, made news only four months ago after announcing that he was taking a break from professional boxing after losing a tough match to veteran Jamaican boxer Sakima Mullings.

Local sports critics acknowledge that Matthews could very well be 6-0 by now but it was left to the judges who scored very close matches against difficult opponents that could have went either way.

“I did not want a decision. I really wanted to knock that guy out,” he said. At one point Matthews was warned for talking too much smack by the referee. Matthews explains, “On Facebook (Miller) was saying “Boxer don’t run,” but in the ring

SIX NATIONS – Fans flooded into the Air Canada Centre last Friday night with excitement and hope for a better season for their beloved Toronto Rock. It was the home opener for the Rock who suffered through a very average season with the Rock closing out with seven wins and seven losses.

But there was a sense of deja vu in the air when they left.

The visiting Saskatchewan Rush left happy after dominating the Rock 17-9 in front of a disappointed hometown crowd. But the season is very young and the Rock has a lot of time to harden up.

The Rock season began on the road with a 13-9 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bandits. The Bandits have started the new season on the right foot after a dismal season last

year. The Bandits will get another lick at the Rock at the ACC, Dec. 30th.

Rochester, Buffalo and New England share first place in the East with one win each heading into this week’s schedule.

It will also feature the first matchup of the new season between the rebuilding Bandits and rebuilding Rochester Knighthawks, while

the New England Black Wolves visit the Rush in Saskatchewan. The Six Nations’ talent ladened Georgia Swarm take on the Colorado Mammoth out West.

The Knighthawks hit the road to take on the defending champion Georgia Swarm on Saturday, Dec. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Field inside Infinite Energy Arena.

he was the one who was running.”

Matthews aggressive fighting style overmatched Miller whose defensive skills weren’t enough to stand against the tide of blows. Although taller in the ring by several inches, Miller seemed to mostly evade Matthews and landed no serious punches.

Afterwards Matthews who had no visible injuries at all celebrated with a few close friends over dinner. “Man I just wanted to eat,” Matthews said about the victory meal.

“We ordered a six person

dinner but my eyes were a lot bigger than my stomach from training.”

Although he is still finding his appetite for food, Matthews seems hungry for another match. He hinted that he may possibly fight March 27th when his Black Eye Boxing team mate Karl “the Razor” Hess fights his professional debut at the Hershey Centre.

The fans want to see Matthews continue and so it’s good that when asked about his victory, the first thing Matthews said is, “I’m itchin’ for more.”
