SIX NATIONS — Two house fires had Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services (SNFES) firefighters battling back to

back blazes on Monday afternoon.

A house fire broke out at a Townline home just after noon. Firefighters arrived at the scene and say as they were trying to extinguish the fire, the roof collapsed.

No one was injured in

that fire.

Meanwhile a second house fire was called into SNFES on Chiefswood Road just north of 69 Corners.

Two buildings at that location were in flames when firefighters arrived.

Backup was called into

Six Nations from other local fire services to help extinguish that fire.

The daughter of the elderly homeowner told Two Row Times her father had taken live ashes outside and disposed of them in the mud.

He then left to go to

Ever hear about the Charter of the Forest?

Written two years after the Magna Carta, the charter protected the common interest of the people of Turtle Island JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Apparently most of the British elite that formed the early governing bodies of the colonies hadn't heard of it either. At least it could have been the case. The other possibility is that when they brought British law with them to the “New World” they saw the obvious benefits of simply ignoring its existence. Why? Because the meat of that manuscript protected the common rights of every free man.

That would include “Indians”.

A paper written by Dr. Guy Standing sheds some light on the subject. Dr. Standing is a Professorial Research Associate, SOAS University of London, Fellow of the UK Academy of Social Sciences, and co-founder and honorary co-president of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN). Subjects of recent books include basic income, rentier capitalism and the growing precariat.

He writes that it is curious why this Charter, which was not only contemporary to the Magna Carta but considered a part 2, has been all but forgotten to history—but not completely. Very recently the American Bar Association suggested the Charter of the Forest had been a foundation of the American Constitution and that it was more important now than ever before. Although repealed by the Tory government of England in 1971 and replaced with a more “modern” interpretation of its statutes, Standing says, “The Charter has the distinction of having been on the statute books for longer than any other piece of legislation,” having been in place for 745 years.

Although many have at least heard about the Magna Carta, but not much is known about its supplementary manuscript, “The Charter of the Forest”, written two years later, in 1217. It remained in place as a cornerstone of British Common Law until 1971 when it was replaced with a watered down version, yet the Magna Carta remains. Why? The Colonial governors and lawmakers totally ignored the Charter of the Forest which should have protected the common interest of all free men, including the original inhabitants of Turtle Island (North America).

SUBMITTED PHOTO

So what is in that manuscript that the British “founders” of British North America did not want to remember?

“The Charter has 17 articles,” says Standing, “which assert the eternal right of free men and women to work on their own volition in ways that would yield all elements of subsistence on the commons, including such basics as the right to pick fruit, the right to gather wood for buildings and other purposes, the right to dig and use clay for utensils and housing, the right to pasture animals, the right to fish, the right to take peat for fuel, the

right to water, and even the right to take honey.”

According to Wikipedia and other historic sources, “The first chapter of the Charter protected common pasture in the forest for all those "accustomed to it", and chapter nine provided for "every man to agist (gather) his wood in the forest as he wishes". It added "Henceforth every freeman, in his wood or on his land that he has in the forest, may with impunity make a mill, fish-preserve, pond, marl-pit, ditch, or arable in cultivated land outside coverts, provided that no injury is thereby given to any neighbour.". The

Charter restored the area classified as "forest" to that of Henry II's time.

Clause 10 repealed the death penalty (and mutilation as a lesser punishment) for capturing deer (venison), though transgressors were still subject to fines or imprisonment.

Special Verderers' Courts were set up within the forests to enforce the laws of the Charter.

Although revered in Britain as a cornerstone of its own Common Law, on par with the Magna Carta, when it came to the Native people they were “colonizing” it was left on the shelf.

The Charter of the For-

RADIO 93.5 FM

www.jukasaradio.com

est was sealed in St.Paul’s Church on November 6, 1217.

Standing continues, “The enclosure act of 1845 was another mass landgrab, mocking the pretensions of private property rights. Between 1760 and 1870, over 4,000 acts of Parliament, instituted by a landowning elite, confiscated seven million acres of commons, (in England alone). It is no exaggeration to say that the land ownership structure of Britain today is the result of organised theft.” And it might be added, so is the land of the Six Nations.

These same thefts were standard fair for the Brit-

ish elite, opportunists and speculators, who were often the same person.

Although originally not intended to root the underlying policies of British colonization, it easily could have, and as history tells us, should have, been applied to governance in the “New World”.

But it was much easier to pretend these rights did not exist for the colonized or their land.

The Charter protected the right to roam and the right to use public spaces for law-abiding purposes.

The Charter was intended as a permanent law limiting enclosure of the commons. And what exactly are “the commons”? The commons is the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable earth.

These resources are held in common, not owned privately. Commons can also be understood as natural resources that groups of people (communities, user groups) manage for individual and collective benefit. Characteristically, this involves a variety of informal norms and values (social practice) employed for a governance mechanism.

The catch is, much of the land thefts and genocidal policies were brought to British North America and applied, denying what they already declared be the rights of the common man. It soon became the political and legal reason Indians were not considered “people” under British law. If so, they would have fallen under the protection of both the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest.

What does reconciliation really mean?

EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW If anyone has been listening to the speeches of the Canadian PM lately you may notice that Justin Trudeau has been saying the word reconciliation again and again. Many of the Queen’s people have been repeating the word reconciliation without understanding what it really means.

Just this week Trudeau exonerated six Tsilhqot’in Warchiefs who were tricked, captured and hanged by the immigrant armies of England in 1864. “We are truly sorry,” says the Prime Minister on behalf of everyone.

The problems between Euro-settlers and Indigenous people is not new.

Take for example the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the 94 calls to action they made. In 2017, only seven of the recommendations were complete and 87 still incomplete. Ian Mosby a historian and also a self-described “settler” has been keeping track on Twitter from @Ian_Mosby.

To make the story even more pitiful and sad it looks like this was the second commission put forth in Canada. After the Oka struggle the Canadian government realized they had a major problem on their hands so they established the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) to try to find out what they did wrong. It was a five year study and millions of dollars were funnelled through all the corporate routes until they finally produced a dry 4000 page report.

Probably the most imminent of all of those words were these simple ten, “There cannot be peace or harmony unless there is justice.” That was the findings from The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, page ix, A Word From Commissioners.

If we take a few seconds to look over the origins, the etymology of the word reconciliation we see it comes from a mid-fourteenth century Old French word reconcilier which was a derivative of the Latin reconcilare “to bring together again.”

Reconciliation is a major theme of the Bible’s New Testament. According to the story, mankind was spiritually separated from God and so a man named Jesus was sent as a sacrifice on everyone’s behalf to pay the price of reconciliation with his own blood. Although quite the gory tale, it is not alone in the Jewish writings.

In a story with strong parallels with the current Canadian political climate, King David brought reconciliation to the descendants of Israel.

It happened roughly three thousand years ago and apparently ended a major drought but not without a sacrifice. According to the Book of 2 Samuel, the previous King of Israel named Saul had broken a four hundred year old peace treaty with the Indigenous Gibeonites and incurred the wrath of the Almighty Lord of Heaven in the process.

As the story goes, King David received a pro-tip and instead of doling out state reconciliation money, he went to the tribes and asked them what it would take for them to forgive Israel’s genocide-y behaviour.

The Gibeonites said if seven of the Royal family were executed the price would be sufficient.

King David used wisdom and hung seven of King Saul’s sons and it was very effective.

Back in October 2017, Canada’s Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett issued a statement, “Canada recognizes and acknowledges this shared history and, as a symbolic gesture of reconciliation will be moving forward to offer a statement of exoneration for the six chiefs,” Bennett said. “These six chiefs were leaders of a nation and are well-regarded as heroes by their people.”

Maybe a statement of exoneration for these “heroes” is also a subtle incrimination of themselves but it shouldn’t be confused with real reconciliation which would require real sacrifice. Good luck Trudeau.

Nature Connections

By Quinn Staats

Many years ago, every morning, my grandfather would walk the grounds of our family property on Six Nations. Papa was the caretaker of the land that housed our ancestors for generations, and remains in the loving hands of my family today.

One day during his walk, he heard a meek chirping coming from the blowing, tall grass beside him in one of the fields. He investigated the sound, and soon discovered a baby hawk lying on the cool, shaded dirt. It’s wing was broken, and it chirped in desperate fear for its Mother.

Gently, Papa scooped the abandoned chick from the ground and shading it from the hot summer sun headed back towards his main tool shed. There, he made a small comfy nest and recovery area for the broken winged baby, making sure there was always water and food in abundance.

Slowly over time, the hawk’s wing healed and the

baby chick was a more mature bird of prey. Then finally one day, Papa took him into the field where he had found the helpless bird and watched him fly away above his head.

However, that hawk never really left him. He flew off, but never flew too far away. It claimed the fields of our land as its home, and stayed near Papa at all times.

He said the hawk was his old, lifelong friend. Protecting him and keeping an eye from the sky.

Recently, my travels brought me down South to Nashville, Tennessee. During the 12 hour car ride I kept noticing something interesting and warming. In the sky on every interstate, in every town or city, I could see hawks — floating like angels on the wind. It’s almost like they’re doing the same thing that Papa’s hawk did for him: they’re keeping a watchful eye and protecting me on my journeys.

My Papa was a man who

was terrified of flying. But I can’t shake my head at the idea that these aren’t just hawks, but in fact him — Gord himself — flying above me. A man afraid to fly taking the form of a hawk, conquering his worldly fears as a higher evolved being in his next life. Shapeshifting from birds to dragonflies or butterflies...but always watching from up in the sky. Protecting and watching the path ahead.

When I allow myself to believe that it’s him: Gord, my Papa, I can feel his presence.

It’s just like he’s sitting right beside me, pointing to the sky and telling me a story about a baby hawk with a broken wing that he nursed back to health.

That’s how he comes back to life. That’s how Gord takes the shape of the hawk. He flies free above his scattered family, protecting all under one giant umbrella of a hawk’s eye view.

It’s true — wherever I go he is right there with me.

The original people will never stop fighting for the land Mu WÎyan Î’uch:

Thunder Woman Speaks

By Rachel A. Snow

Since the coming of the settler colonizers, the original people have been at odds trying to express their relationship to the land.

For the colonizer, there were rules for owning property that they brought from their European homelands. Rules that included the divine right of kings and the hierarchy where only nobility could have land holdings based on royal nepotism.

When the settlers came to this new land they wanted the land.

Unfortunately the land was occupied by the various nations of the first peoples. This was an encumbrance or hindrance on the land that the colonizers had to get around.

They then invented the doctrine of discovery. This was based on a papal bull that gave European rulers “ownership” if there were no “Christians” inhabiting foreign lands.

At the same time, a colonizer narrative began forming that the Indians were not “using” the land; that the Indians were lazy and too busy fighting each other for survival so that taking the land was actu-

ally a better plan for all.

Contrast this one sided narrative with what was really happening on this great island.

The original tribes have Creation stories. They are complex visionary statements that were passed down by one or more knowledge keepers that explained the sacred covenant granted to the first peoples. In every story, there is an awakening of the people and they take their place with the rest of Creation, safekeeping and respecting the life Creator has provided for all on this land.

The land is sacred.

The land is to be respected.

The land is to be stewarded.

In the indigenous languages land does not really mean the land but can be translated into something that provides life or is linked to life. The original people and the land are inseparable. This is why the first peoples could not understand the idea of land ownership.

The land is part of the people, and the people are part of the land.

The original people

looked at the hills and saw shade and cooling areas, wood for fires and places to pray and have visions.

The original people looked at the waters and saw good fishing spots, clean places for bathing and drinking, and maybe a way of transport. The original people were so in tune with the land, they could detect changes, storms, heavy winters, droughts and other possible dangers. The land spoke to them.

This is why in the early accounts of settler/Indian history there are many Indigenous quotes that try to explain the relationship between the original people and the land.

The settlers either willfully misunderstood or had no concept that the land was a gift for all to use and share – properly.

The settlers, armed with papal bulls, doctrine of discovery thinking, letters, charters and other European documents forced their thinking to set up this state.

Has this thinking changed? Throughout Canadian history, there are treaties with the original people: treaties to

live together but continue on separate journeys while sharing the land. So far the sharing has been one-sided.

The settlers have shared – amongst themselves.

The settlers have lived their separate way but have forced this way on all people.

The settlers have taken the resources placed here for all and used it to build up themselves, their families, their companies, institutions and governments.

It is for this reason that Europeans went sailing - to find new places and resources to exploit.

Their egos had them believing their thinking was the most progressive and superior thinking of the day. They cared little for the original people’s caution and dismay at the land desecration. Has this changed today?

Currently, the Canadian government is pushing the 1969 White Paper policy of Trudeau the elder back on to the original people.

Instead of planning an inclusive way forward, Trudeau the younger is implementing the racist policies that the original people stopped in 1969.

Included in this racist approach is the new land designations policy, for the original people. The original people were

pushed back to make way for land settlement of immigrant European nations.

They were herded onto reserve lands through the treaty making process of Great Britain. This land base is now only 2% of Canada.

Why is there a rush to designate the reserve lands of the original people?

For one thing at the United Nations, Canada was asked to prove they had “title” to the lands they now occupy. Specifically Canada was asked to provide a document of proof. They cannot prove this.

If Canada can now force the First Nations to designate their land for at least 99 years, it becomes “sold” in Canadian law.

The need for producing title will be moot if Canada can get forced consent of the original people by pushing land designation processes.

Canada is trying to back an extraction economy, but consistently runs into problems with the original people either protesting or demanding consultation and accommodation.

Canada does not want to consult, pay or listen to a narrative that reminds them they are fraudulently taking from lands they cannot prove title to.

Canada is also aware that the treaties made be-

tween the original peoples and Great Britain form the basis for Canada’s existence. So the treaties actually are international legal documents that rank higher that Canada’s own laws, because a state cannot regulate against the nation that created them.

This is also why Canada is now onside with the United Nations Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples; because it is a watered down international document that takes international treaties and domesticates these treaties to fall under state interpretations.

Treaties and the fiduciary obligation Canada owes to the Treaty Nation signers are encumbrances or hindrances to Canada being their own state.

Finally, the land is “owned” or stewarded by the original people as a group. There is no one person that owns specific land. The land is held in trust for future generations and this is captured in the wording of treaties – for as long as the sun shines; and grass grows.

Our ancestors may not have been able to communicate the land relationship to the settlers but they were able to put the relationship forward into eternity. It is because of this responsibility that the original people will never stop fighting for the land.

OGWADENI:DEO Stephen Hawking passes away at 76, leaves behind an enigma Taking Care of Our Own he passed away in his

CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Cambridge home in England at the age of 76.

His life is one that can arouse both compassion and wonder as he overcame obstacles that many would deem debilitating.

At the age of 22, the physicist was given only a few years to live as his body became overwhelmed by Lou Gehrig’s disease and deteriorated to only allow him to be able to make voluntary eye movements and

flex one finger. His rare disease falls under that of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was an early-onset slow-progressing form of the motor neurone disease that gradually paralyzed him over time.

But from the seat of a wheelchair, the disease left his mental facilities untouched and he triumphantly became one of the most influential physicists and minds of the era.

“It is a waste of time to

be angry about my disability,” said Hawking. “One has to get on with life and I haven’t done badly.

People won’t have time for you if you’re always angry or complaining.”

Among many of his best-selling novels, Hawking’s contribution to his field reshaped and moulded destructive voids into something more expansive and comprehensible, as he became known as the leader in exploring black holes and gravity.

Annual Strengthening Our families

Physics — one of the most existential-crisis-creating fields — was where the mind of Stephen Hawking explored comfortably as he pursued the answer to “who created the universe?”

That pursuit of the cosmos ended in the early morning of March 14 — Einstein’s birthday — as

One of his dealings with black holes led to the enigmatic discovery of “Hawking radiation,” named after himself.

A black hole is described as a region of space that holds a gravitational field so intense that no form of matter or radiation can escape, they were also greatly considered to be black, destructive voids that once something went inside, it never came out.

Hawking decided to apply quantum theory, which is the theoretical basis of modern physics that aims to explain the behaviour and nature of energy and matter on the atomic and subatomic level, to black holes in 1973.

Whilst applying the theories, a long and daunting calculation revealed the reality that black holes were not black at all.

Through his calculation Hawking found that black holes eventually leak radiation and particles and finally explode to disappear over time. He admitted that he hadn’t expected to find particles leaking out of black holes and rather annoyingly “tripped over” the discovery.

The reveal of his findings is hailed by scientists as the first great landmark to connect gravity and quantum mechanics with a single theory of nature that help explain this complex world.

“You can ask what will happen to someone who jumps into a black hole,” said Hawking in 1978.

“I certainly don’t think he will survive it. On the other hand, if we can send someone off to jump into a black hole, neither he nor his constituent atoms will come back. But his mass energy will come back.

Maybe that applies to the whole universe.”

Through the discovery of Hawking radiation, he irreversibly altered the aesthetic of the black hole from being a destructive force to a force that recycles. Hawking also said that he wanted the formula for Hawking radiation to be engraved on his tombstone in 2002.

A future episode on the hit television series The Big Bang Theory will also be paying tribute to Hawking.

Trudeau exonerates Tsilhqot`in chiefs hanged 150 years ago OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exonerated six First Nations chiefs who were executed

by British Columbia's colonial government more than 150 years ago.

Trudeau delivered a statement of exoneration

for the Tsilhqot'in chiefs in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon.

Trudeau said that while apologies cannot alone make right the wrongs of the past, they are an important part of reconciliation and renewing

1025R

Canada's relationship with Indigenous people.

The warriors were hanged following a deadly confrontation with white road builders during the so-called Chilcotin War of 1864. After the workers were killed, five chiefs

arrived at what they believed would be peace talks with government representatives. Instead, they were arrested, tried and hanged, and a sixth chief was executed the following year in New Westminster.

The Tsilhqot'in have long disputed the government's authority to execute the six chiefs as criminals, describing the confrontation as an altercation between warring nations.

The B.C. government apologized for the executions in 1993 and installed a commemorative plaque at the site of the hangings.

B.C. bans grizzly hunt VANCOUVER — A ban on hunting grizzly bears in British Columbia comes into effect next month.

As of April 1, taxidermists and tanners must report information about any grizzly bears or parts brought to them, or face a $230 fine.

The province announced the ban in December to protect the roughly 15,000 grizzlies in the province — a move that was welcome by environmental groups.

The government says roughly 250 grizzlies are killed annually by nonFirst Nations hunters.

Changes to the Wildlife Act also increase the amount of edible meat hunters can collect from big game by including neck and rib meat.

Requirements to remove edible portions of an animal, which pertained to types of deer, moose, elk, sheep and goat, have been expanded to include cougars.

Farmer cleared in Boushie shooting seeking book deal Victim`s family says Gerald Stanley trying to `exploit` Indigenous man`s death CANADIAN PRESS

news@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — When Gerald Stanley testified in a Saskatchewan court last month he told a jury his version of what happened on the summer day in 2016 when Colten Boushie, a young Indigenous man, was fatally shot.

People heard Stanley's story in court or followed it across Canada in news reports.

Boushie's cousin, Jade Tootoosis, says the 22-year-old from Red Pheasant First Nation will never get that same opportunity.

Tootoosis says she was disgusted to learn that the law firm representing Stanley has been reaching out to different publishing companies. ``It feels like he is further exploiting the death by trying to make a profit of it,'' Tootoosis said in an interview.

Boushie died after being shot in the back of the head as he sat in an SUV on the farm near Biggar.

Stanley was acquitted of second-degree murder after testifying that the gun went off accidentally.

The case was filled with racial tension and the verdict sparked rallies across the country.

Boushie's family members have found support

Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley was acquitted of second-degree murder in the death of Colten Boushie. The law firm representing Stanley has reportedly been reaching out to publishing companies.

Boushie`s death and Stanley`s subsequent acquittal prompted national outcry over how court cases involving Indigenous people are heard, particularly regarding the jury selection process.

in each other and people across the country as they try to move forward and advocate for changes to the justice system, Tootoosis said.

When they heard that publishing companies had been contacted on Stanley's behalf they were appalled because ``the entire court process gave Gerald Stanley the full platform,'' she said. ``He is alive here to be able to tell his story and he did. That was what the court process was about,'' she said. ``I just can barely comprehend this individual and his motives and what he is trying to accomplish or achieve. It's just upset-

ting.''

Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, which represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan, said it was ``absolutely chaotic for (Stanley) to think, 'I'm going sell a book, I'm going to publish a book'.'' ``Give your head a shake, Gerald,'' Cameron said, adding that any publisher considering the option should recognize there would be significant backlash.

Toronto-based publisher Between The Lines (BTL) released a statement on Thursday indicating it had rejected a request for a meeting with

Stanley's legal team and encouraged other publishers to do the same. ``To publish, promote, and market Mr. Stanley's side of the story would only contribute to the injustices experienced by the Boushie family and all Indigenous people,'' the statement said.

An updated statement added the law firm representing Stanley had requested to speak with the publisher's legal counsel.

Lawyer Scott Spencer confirmed his office did make inquiries on Stanley's behalf because ``Gerry just wants to see the public record set straight.''

Spencer said Stanley is not seeking a book deal.

Boushie's family doesn't think they would have any power to stop a publisher if one took Stanley up on the offer.

Tootoosis is encouraging publishers to consider which voices they elevate, noting that in Canada's history Indigenous voices have been silenced and overlooked. ``Colten isn't here to share his side of the story,'' she said. ``Instead of creating space for this man who took a life, whose actions took a life, why not create more space for Indigenous people to share our side of the story about colonialism and the implications within our society.''

Cleaveland said 57 protesters had been arrested by early Saturday evening, bringing the week's total to 172 arrests.

Cedar George-Parker, who was among the young Indigenous leaders who led a march to the site on Saturday, said the project poses too great a risk to Tsleil-Waututh First Nation lands. ``We're taking a stand against the Kinder Morgan pipeline, we're standing up against bullies. Justin

Trudeau can't do his job by securing the safety of our future, so we'll do it for him,'' George-Parker said at the site.

Ocean Hyland, who's also from the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, said youth in the community have learned about the value of the land and water from their elders. ``They teach us the ways to take care of the land and carry on the traditions of our people,'' she said.

``We're at the stage now where we're thinking about those future generations and how we're going to carry on those teachings and carry through those ceremonies to protect the land we're here on today.''

Musicians Sarah Harmer and Grimes joined the march toward the Burnaby Terminal in support of the protesters.

The musicians, who are in Vancouver for the Juno Awards Sunday night,

could not immediately be reached for comment.

But in a video posted to Greenpeace Canada's Facebook page, Harmer said the project ``needs to be turned back and stopped.''

Protesters are prohibited by a court injunction from entering within five metres of two Kinder Morgan terminals in Burnaby.

BRANTFORD — The first instalment of the Live Music Friday Concert Series at Club NV, kicked off with rocking performances

by Jace Martin and The Pace and The Healers last Friday night.

With a crisp and clear evening, the venue filled with local talent admirers and those looking for a fun night out as performers offered a night filled with oldies and goodies.

Many went to Facebook to voice their enjoyment of the evening, including Bec Martin.

“Had an amazing night!

It's always a good time when I get to see my cousin Jacey perform,” she

wrote. “He is phenomenal up on that stage! If you've never seen one of his shows, you should!”

Jace Martin, who was just nominated for the Producer of the Year at the 2018 Indigenous Music Awards, said that he and his group felt that the night went “amazing.”

“We thought the first concert went amazing,” said Martin. “It was a great crowd of happy and energetic people and it was inspiring to see so much support for our local artists.”

Shortly after Martin opened and warmed up the crowd, The Healers took the stage.

Carter Bomberry was quick to note that event did well for both the club and the performing artists and called it a “success.”

“Jace Martin called me up and had this great idea to put a concert series together, so we all knew we were going to come in and give it our best,” said Bomberry.

“The club did well and we’re happy for a good start of the series and we were taken care of top notch from the staff.”

“Nerves have always been a good and bad thing for myself,” Bomberry added, “but when I get to stand up next to my brothers in the band we just do what we've done for the last 20 years and let it all come out, naturally having each other's back.

After the show is my favourite part – we get to visit our friends and talk to fans who may not have heard us in a long time.

That’s the reward.”

Bomberry says he began in The Breeze Band in 1995 as his serious introduction to music came during his time in high school at Hagersville Secondary, where he would “jam in the halls” with Josh and Derek Miller.

He noted that a lot of his influencers were other local artists such as Murray Porter and Faron Johns, including that music for him was more of a “community thing just like lacrosse.”

His own mentality is also one of hoping that others in the industry succeed; this made the venue and the series all the more fulfilling.

“Venues like Club NV are amazing to open things up to new ideas.

I must raise a glass to cousin Jace Martin for

having the vision to call all of us artists and deal with the club and put this whole series together,” he said. “We are a community together; Brant and Six Nations and something like this is what brings us all together in a positive fashion — not to mention the music is top notch as there will be many more artists."

When asked about the impact that events and venues like this concert series may have upon indigenous artists and audiences, Bomberry pointed out that with these events indigenous artists have the ability to offer positive messages to those on the outside.

“In today's day and age, non-natives still don't know much about our people and culture so I

feel like not just these events but every day I feel [as an artist] that I want to be that positive message that we as Six Nations people are not the stereotypes you might judge us by in the news headlines,” he said.

As the concert series is set to continue until August, when Crystal Shawanda will perform, Bomberry anticipated that the success will only continue and grow.

“Performing that first Friday night was pivotal and a success business wise. But we’re not all about the bottom line and I just hope it opens more doors for more artists and it's all for the right reasons. We healed that night and there'll be great music to come from more artists,” he said.

New film a coming out story for gay teens Indigenous Music MIA JONES

news@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

It is not up for debate that young people are becoming powered to change, seeking to improve the world the previous generations have set up for them. Generation Z has been described as “the gayest, most trans, most racially diverse generation out there.”

With these youth growing up surrounded by social and mainstream media, some representation is sure to follow. And ‘Love, Simon’ fits the bill.

‘Love, Simon’ is an adaption of the novel SIMON VS THE HOMOSAPIENS Agenda by Becky Albertalli. The film tells the story of 17 year old Simon Spier (Nick Robinson), a normal teenager with great friends and family but with one huge secret: nobody knows he’s gay.

Simon meets someone under the alias ‘Blue’ through their schools anonymous blog and discovers they share the same secret. While the

pairs anonymous emails about love, life, and coming out are quirky and truthful — their identities to each other and truth about their sexual identity become jeopardized when one of Simon’s classmates finds their email correspondence and blackmails Simon.

‘Love, Simon’ includes a charismatic diverse cast, interracial on-screen couples and LGBTQ actors actually playing LGBTQ characters. It also features talent from Netflix’s hit original 13 Reasons Why (Katherine Langford and Miles Heizer) and an astounding soundtrack featuring artists ranging from Troye Sivan to Whitney Houston.

It is the first romantic comedy that exists in mainstream media, targeted towards a young audience about a gay teenager.

‘Love, Simon’ is able to blend a traditional campy, romantic comedy and coming of age teen movie with a relatable and honest coming out story that is important for LGBTQ youth to see today.

ANAHEIM — The Anaheim Ducks are making a move up the standings in recent games and that trend continued this week in NHL hockey action.

With the Ducks in Edmonton on Monday,

Brantford’s Adam Henrique and Six Nations’ Brandon Montour combined with 1:29 remaining in regulation time to send the game to overtime.

Montour slipped in from his point position and fired a sharp angle blast that Henrique deflected in past Oilers goalie Cam Talbot for his

Ducks’ Hampus Lindholm scored at 1:21 of extra-time for the win.

So far in March, the Ducks have eight wins, three losses and one OT loss. Along the way, Montour broke out of a mini-scoring slump to account for three goals and three assists.

Montour now has nine

Including his part season with the Ducks last year, Montour’s official NHL record is 101 games (as of Monday) with 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points.

Montour played for the Brantford Eagles of the GOJHL in 2010-11 and 12,

He played 14 games for

the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL before joining the Ducks organization with their AHL affiliate, San Diego Gulls.

Timely scoring helps bantam Blackhawks blow past Waterford Six Nations penalty killers rise to the occasion when down two skaters to preserve lead JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — In Bantam Intertown LL hockey action at the Gaylord Powless Arena Saturday, afternoon, the 2 pm game featured the Six Nations #1 Bantam Blackhawks winning over the visiting Waterford #1 Bantams, 5-2 including an empty-netter scored by Desland Martin with seven seconds remaining, for a 5-2 Six Nations win.

They played to a 0-0 first-period score but it was Six Nations’ Lyden Hill who broke the double goose-egg very early in the second period. Dazion Martin and Dawson Hill assisted.

Six Nations went up 2-0, after Blair Green tal-

Waterford came back with a goal to cut the

Blackhawk lead in half to 2-1 with Cameron Pearson doing the honours.

Green sent the Blackhawks into the third

period leading 3-1 after a rocket of a wrist shot from the face-off circle, 15 feet out.

The third period

opened four on four after late second period penalties to each side. Waterford cashed in on the situation to draw within one

of the Blackhawks. There were several third-period chances at both ends but the score remained 3-2 until Dazion Martin scored from Dawson Hill and Aiden Skye for a 4-2 lead.

Perhaps the save of the game came late in the period when Six Nations goalie Terry Jamieson stopped a Waterford break-away late in the period to preserve the two-goal lead.

Six Nations took its share of third-period penalties giving Waterford a chance to come back, but Six Nations penalty killers were equal to the task and kept Waterford from scoring even when Six Nations found itself two men short.

Then came the empty-netter for the 5-2 win.

CALEDONIA — The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs were cooling their heels, waiting for the winner of the St. Catharines Falcons and Ancaster Avalanche series, which went a full seven games.

The Corvairs, on the other hand, had been trying to stay hot after sweeping Fort Erie and winning over the Niagara Falls Canucks in five games.

The Avalanche lost Game 7 of their series to the Falcons Monday night in Ancaster 4-1 to take the series and move on to face the Corvairs in the Conference Championship series.

The best-of-seven gets underway on Wednesday, March 28th, at the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre with a 7:30 pm start.

Game 2 will be at the Jack Gatcliff Rink in St. Kitts, and Game 3 back in Caledonia on Saturday, March 31st.

Game 4 is set for April

2nd, in St. Kitts, and Game 5.

If necessary, Game 6 will be played April 4th in St. Catharines, and a possible Game 7 at the HCCC. In the Midwestern Conference, the Elmira Sugar Kings defeated the Stratford Warriors and Thorold beat Waterloo to play in the Midwestern Conference finals.

And in the Western Conference, the London Nationals open versus the St. Thomas Stars.

When the conference finals begin, the Corvairs will be well-rested and healthy, having been given time to heal any nagging injuries and to practice their special teams and keep up the general cardio work as they wait.

“We have been still training high intensity while we wait,” says coach Mike Bullard.

“I think we’ll be ready when it’s time.”

General manager Brian Rizzetto admits that the layoff can’t help but hurt a little.

“You can only practice so much,” he says. “It’s game time that really keeps you sharp.”

Also this past week in the National Lacrosse League, the Buffalo Bandits crushed the New England BlackWolves 20-7 on March 23th, with Mitch Jones (5G), Vaughn

Harris (4G,4A), Dhane Smith (2G,4A), leading the way for Buffalo. Johnny Powless earned an assist for New England.

The BlackWolves were beaten back by the Georgia Swarm the next day, 17-12.

Six Nations’ Adam Bomberry and Johnny Powless recorded a goal

and an assist each for New England. Leading the way for the Swarm were Lyle Thompson (3G,3A), Miles Thompson (2G,2A), and Randy Staats (3G,1A).

In other NLL action, the Toronto Rock squeezed past the Calgary Roughnecks 17-14, and the Vancouver Stealth inched past the Colorado Mam-

moth 13-12.

Rochester squashed Saskatchewan 13-10, with Cody Jamieson earning a five-assist outing.

Colorado is in Toronto on March 30th at 7:30 pm, and on the 31st, the Knighthawks host Colorado, New England is in Buffalo, and Calgary is in Vancouver.

The Saskatchewan Rush mounted a furious comeback bid but the Rochester Knighthawks hung on to a lead they had right from the start of the game to claim a 13-10 victory on Saturday night.

With the win, the Knighthawks (7-7) jumped from last in the NLL’s East Division into a tie for first, while the Rush (11-3) had their three-game winning streak come to an end.

The victory also marked a somewhat stunning season-series sweep for the Knighthawks over the Rush after winning in Rochester back in mid-February.

Rochester jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter including back-to-back goals from Austin Shanks – the second of which was a shorthanded tally as he stormed in alone to put a shot to the top shelf against Rush goalie Evan Kirk. Saskatchewan pulled close on goals by Jeff Shattler and a breakaway strike from Chris Corbeil before Joe Resetarits scored from well out to make it 4-2.

The teams then went back and forth on the scoreboard in the second, each time Rochester restoring a two-goal lead right after a Rush goal.

Ben McIntosh grabbed a feed from Jeff Shattler and fired a shot under the crossbar beating K-Hawks goalie Matt Vinc, but Rochester responded 42 seconds later on another long-range shot by Resetarits.

Saskatchewan’s topranked power play got to work as Robert Church tucked home the rebound of a hot shot from Mark Matthews, and Matthews

sent a rocket over Vinc’s shoulder.

Yet after both Rush’s power-play goals, the Knighthawks answered.

Eric Fannell scored 58 seconds after Church’s marker, and then struck again only 20 seconds after Matthews’ goal as he got loose behind the Rush defence to give Rochester a 7-5 lead at halftime.

Fannell completed his hat trick with a diving shot after wheeling out of the corner and Shanks picked up his third less than two minutes later to put the Knighthawks up 9-5. A quick-stick tally

by Church made it 9-6 leading the Rush into their comeback bid. Ryan Keenan opened the fourth with a hot shot on a Rush power-play off a feed from Church.

Ben McIntosh closed the K-Hawks lead to 11-8 when he blew past a defender and sent a bounce shot past Vinc.

Church then brought the Rush to within one with back-to-back goals 56 seconds apart, first getting loose from Paul Dawson and firing in a sidearm shot and picking up his fourth of the goal of the game by rifling a shot from the restraining line in to make it 11-10.

Rochester withstood a final push from the Rush as the Knighthawks took advantage of Saskatchewan getting called for too many men.

Cory Vitarelli made it 12-10 on the ensuing power play and Shanks completed his five-goal effort with an empty-netter.

Kyle Jackson and Scott Campbell also scored for the Knighthawks, while Cody Jamieson totalled five assists.

The Knighthawks are back home on Saturday when they host the Colorado Mammoth, who are also the Rush’s next opponent on April 7th.

Six Nations midgets battle to win championship Hard-working Blackhawks squad sweeps Waterford in best-of-three series JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Midget “A” Blackhawks are the 2018 winners of the Southern Counties, Local League Midget title after a close and well played best of three series against the Waterford Wildcats, which Six Nations took in two straight games for the championship.

“This team has worked hard all year,” said coach Wayne General after the win on March 24 in Ohsweken.

“We lost the first five or six games of the season, and we came back,” General added.

"These guys (Waterford) beat us in the first game of the season and the first game after the Christmas Break. They may have been a little bit over-confident.”

The long, hard season took its toll in injuries as well.

“Two or three of our guys are playing injured and one is still out with a cast on his leg,” says General.

It didn’t take long for the Wildcats to put the Blackhawks on their heels Saturday at the GPA. Down one game in the series after a 4-1 Blackhawks win in Waterford on March 22, It was a must-win for the Wildcats and they knew it. Waterford's Zak Wilks struck at the 12.7-second mark to take a 1-0 lead.

That's where the score stayed until 37 seconds

into the second period, when Austin Gardner opened the scoring for Six Nations with assists from Sandy Porter and Thomas Mt.Pleasant.

Garner blew a Howitzer at the Waterford net, which goaltender Evan Tichelaar got most of, but the puck squeezed through and dribbled into the net behind him.

At the other end, Blackhawks goalie Richard Montour was busy frustrating Waterford shooters.

Both goalkeepers were up to the challenge, making several big saves that kept the game as close as it could have been.

But with 13:01 remaining, Gardner scored his second of the game from Porter and Jake Smith, which proved to be the game-winner.

The 2-1 final score was enough to win the Championship Medal and Award for the Southern Counties Local League Midget “A” Championship.

The Monarchs owned the second quarter and led the Snipers 10-7 at the half. Laszkiewicz and VanEvery scored Snipers second-period goals.

When the teams returned for the second half, Lomas scored unassisted, but the rest of the quarter was all Monarchs again,

ending the third quarter with TO up 15-9. Cecil Montour scored for Six Nations as well.

Six goals is a big hole to fill in 15 minutes but the Snipers gave it all they had scoring five beginning with Woodman, Lomas, Alex Martin and Laszkiewicz.

The Snipers late-season rally moved them out of the basement and into fifth place in the seven-team league with a season record of five wins, nine losses for 10-points.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take some time to assess a situation before you act on gut instinct. Your initial reaction may not be the best way to go. Ask a trusted friend for advice.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, when you get an idea in your head, it can take a monumental effort to persuade you to think otherwise. This week your ideas may need tweaking.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Stop planning for the immediate future and start thinking long-term, Gemini. This way you can relax as much as possible and enjoy the ride knowing all things are in order.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if a career change has been on your mind, it may be better to dip a toe into the waters rather than jumping in all at once. Try an internship before making a commitment.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s understandable that you want to prove yourself as capable as ever. But accepting a little help is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a sign of strength.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Family matters push to the forefront, Libra. This may require all of your attention for the time being. Clear your schedule so you can give this the attention it deserves.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, overcoming challenges as they are presented to you is one of the things that makes you so successful. But even the best task master needs some rest and relaxation.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may find yourself at the center of social occasions, Sagittarius. If you want to be the life of the party, then go ahead. If you want to remain on the sidelines, that’s fine as well.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It’s not worth getting into an argument to win a point with someone who doesn’t have all of the facts, Capricorn. Rest your case and forge ahead with what you know is right.
