OHSWEKEN — Chiefswood Park and Gathering Place by the Grand Event Centre are offering a Community Partnership Program to community groups and organizations.

The two sites are now under the management of Six Nations Tourism, a department of Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC).

The Community Partnership Program supports groups and event that seek to increase the profile of Six Nations locally, nationally, or internationally.

The program offers sponsorship for use of the space at either venue.

An information session is being held on January 16, 2019 for the Spring Intake from 6-8pm at the Gathering Place at 2593 Chiefswood Road.

Officials with the SN-

Gathering Place by the Grand Event Centre is located 2593 Chiefswood Road.

GRDC say the venues are “revenue-generating assets which will ultimately assist with the betterment of the Six Nations Community through annual distributions of surplus profits to the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust”.

The Community Partnership Program was designed to ensure the venues remain accessible to the groups and organizations on Six Nations who host non-profit events or initiatives that support the community’s membership.

Officials say the programming that qualifies for the sponsorship could be anything including education conferences,

music concerts, workshops, performances, cultural teachings, and much more.

Applications for the next round of sponsorships for use of the space are open now and successful applicants will be notified February 15, 2019 for the Spring Intake Session, and September 23, 2019 for the Fall Intake Session.

Last year the program supported the GREAT 2018 Job Fair, Ganohkwasra’s 30th Anniversary Gala, the GREAT Six Nations Networking Event, Six Nations Long Term Care/Home & Community Care - Elders Journey to Community Change/World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Events and Woodland Cultural Cen-

“If you want to learn more about the program, we encourage you to attend either our Spring or Fall Information Session,” said Constance Jamieson, Manager of Tourism at SNGRDC. Six Nations Tourism is a sub department of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC). Six Nations Tourism hosts over 10,000 visitors a year at their four sites: Six Nations Tourism Building, Her Majesty’s Royal Chapel of the Mohawks, Chiefswood National Historic Site, Chiefswood Park, and the Gathering Place by the Grand Event Centre.

SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Police are looking for information from the public after a man was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound to the head.

On Saturday, January 12 at 4:15 a.m. police say they were informed of a man with non-specific head injuries at a residence on Sixth Line. Another call reported to police the man was bleeding and being taken to hospital.

Police say at 4:18 a.m.

they stopped a Black Cadillac Escalade headed westbound on Sixth Line ad one of the occupants, a 22 year old male, had what appeared to be slash wounds on his head. Police say the man appeared conscious but intoxicated and confused. Police said in a statement the man had been dropped off at the Sixth Line residence with the head injuries. An ambulance arrived and then transported the vic-

tim to Hamilton General Hospital.

Doctors then discovered the victim had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. He was listed in stable condition when he regained consciousness.

Police say the victim was involved in an altercation outside of Brando’s Bar in Brantford sometime after 2:00 a.m. early Saturday. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact police.

HAGERSVILLE/SIX NATIONS — A multi-force manhunt that began and ended on Six Nations has resulted in the arrest of an 18 year old Simcoe man.

OPP say the suspect, Travis Anderson, is facing a list of charges following a collision investigation at King Street in Hagersville that turned into a manhunt.

On Monday afternoon just after 1 p.m. both Six Nations Police and OPP responded to a report of a man who was possibly injured after trying to stop a suspect from stealing his vehicle. Eyewitnesses said

the suspect fled the area on foot.

OPP patrolled the area and located the suspect. He fled on foot, then attempted to flee by a vehicle but police disabled the vehicle and the man again attempted to evade police on foot.

Police say the suspect then gained entry to another vehicle at a business and fled through Hagersville and onto Six Nations, failing to stop for police.

He then fled again on foot into a wooded area on the reserve.

OPP’s Emergency Response Team and Canine

Unit were brought onto the territory to contain the area. Anderson was located and arrested. He is now charged with theft of a vehicle, possession of break in instruments, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace officer and possession of property obtained by crime.

Police say they are now investigating to see if Anderson is involved in other vehicle thefts in the Haldimand and Norfolk County areas. Anderson was held for a bail hearing at Cayuga Court.

Haudenosaunee demonstrate in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en Solidarity slowdown and road blocks bring attention to indigenous and human rights violations

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANT/HALDIMAND — Demonstrations were held across Haudenosaunee territory Friday in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people who were forcibly removed from defending their traditional territory by RCMP in a violent attack. RCMP say they executed an injunction on behalf of the Coastal GasLink pipeline and arrested 14 people who are trying to stop a pipeline project that is trying to cross the nation’s land without their consent.

Outrage swept across Canada and the United States when news broke that the land defense camps, which have been situated in the pipelines path, were raided and press blocked from accessing the site by police.

Reaction from Haudenosaunee territory was swift with men and women from Oneida Nation of the Thames, Six Nations, Tyendinaga and Akwesasne organizing to launch province-wide demonstrations — as well as urban demonstrations in Hamilton, Toronto and Ottawa.

Organizers at Six Nations set up road blocks at Brant County Road 18 and Cockshutt Road in Brant County and in Caledonia at

Highway 6/Argyle Street and Sixth Line for the day.

Demonstrations in Toronto saw shutdowns to the northbound Don Valley Parkway during rush-hour.

Bill Monture, one of the men participating in Friday’s demonstrations, said “We’re in support of what they are doing out west, on the territory of the traditional chiefs out west.

I’m a little confused on how the government can go on unneeded land and force people off their land. To me it’s bullsh*t,” said Monture.

Monture said it is the job of the police to preserve the peace and not to uphold the preferences of corporate interests. “If the the government was meaningful when they talk about a ‘duty to consult’ and ‘reconciliation’ — which is just lip service

GRAND RIVER POST SECONDARY EDUCATION OFFICE

— they need to be dealing nation to nation and they’ve got to be truthful about it.”

Outrage grew across North America after the removal of the traditional chiefs from their territory.

Commentators on social media noted that the RCMP action was in direct violation of Article 10 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People — which explicitly states that indigenous people have a right not the be forcibly removed from their own land.

Stretches of highway in Ontario saw periodic slowdowns on Friday as part of a ``solidarity slowdown'' caravan down provincial highways.

Provincial police in various parts of Ontario

reported vehicles travelling at between 50 kilometres and 60 kilometres an hour, causing rolling delays, but said the protests were peaceful.

Now, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary chiefs say they are holding a gathering of solidarity on Wednesday that is expected to attract Indigenous leaders from across British Columbia.

Chief Judy Wilson, secretary treasurer of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said she was planning to attend the meeting and other members of the group had already flown to Smithers. ``I'm heading up there to support the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and the people, the clans, in their fight to protect their land,'' Wilson said.

She said the difficulty that the hereditary chiefs have had in getting their authority recognized by industry and government is familiar.

Elected band councils are based on a colonial model of governance, she said. Under the tradition of her Secwepemc First Nation in the B.C. Interior, title belongs to all of the people within the nation. ``Collectively, people hold title for our nation,'' she said.

Coastal GasLink says it has signed agreements with all 20 elected First Nations bands along the pipeline route to LNG

Canada's $40-billion export facility in Kitimat, B.C. But the project has come under scrutiny because five hereditary clan chiefs within the Wet'suwet'en say the project has no authority without their consent.

While elected band councils are administrators of their reserves, the hereditary chiefs say they are in charge of the 22,000 square kilometres comprising Wet'suwet'en traditional territory, including land the pipeline would run through.

Members of the First Nation and supporters were arrested last week at a checkpoint erected to block the company from accessing a road it needs to do pre-construction work on the project, sparking protests Canada-wide.

On Thursday, the hereditary chiefs reached at deal with RCMP, agreeing that members would abide by a temporary court injunction by allowing the company and its contractors access across a bridge further down the road, so long as another anti-pipeline camp is allowed to remain intact.

Hereditary Chief Na'Moks told reporters that the chiefs reached the agreement to ensure the safety of those remaining at the Unist'ot'en camp, but remain ``adamantly opposed'' to the project.

The interim court injunction will be in place until

the defendants, including residents and supporters of the Unist'ot'en camp, file a response in court Jan. 31.

A Facebook page for the Wet'suwet'en Access Point on Gidumt'en territory posted an alert on Sunday calling for rolling actions across the country.

It referred to the 1997 Delgamuuk'w case, fought by the Wet'suwet'en and the Gitsxan First Nations, in which the Supreme Court of Canada recognized that Aboriginal title constituted an ancestral right protected by the constitution. ``As the Unist'ot'en camp says, 'This fight is far from over. We paved the way with the Delgamuuk'w court case and the time has come for Delgamuuk'w II,' '' the statement says.

The ruling in the Delgamuuk'w case had an impact on other court decisions, affecting Aboriginal rights and title, including the court's recognition of the Tsilhqot'in nation's aboriginal title lands. (with CP files)

Ontario Provincial Police briefs

Man arrested, charged with “contraband” A 64 year old Quebec man is in custody and facing a bail hearing after he was stopped on the 401 with cases of cigarettes.

OPP say the man had 296 cases of Canadian brand cigarettes in the back of a U-Haul truck.

Those cigarettes, the truck and thousands in cash were seized by police in the arrest.

OPP say the man is facing two charges under the Tobacco Tax Act, possession for the purpose of sale, transporting contraband and failing to comply with a probation order.

Officials say they are continuing an investigation on the arrest with the help of the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

License plates stolen Police say they are investigating after reports of a licence plate being removed from a resident vehicle on Walpole Street in Hagersville.

After responding to the call, police discovered three other vehicles on the same street had their license plates removed.

OPP continue to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Attempt to steal ATM machine Two men attempted to rob the Jarvis Food Market on Main Street North in Jarvis. Witnesses reported to police a white SUV collided into the building multiple times.

Police say shortly before 3:35 a.m. on Tuesday morning the unknown suspects were seen reversing a white GMC Yukon SUV into the front of the building.

Investigators believe the incident was a botched attempt to steal an ATM machine from the store

but were unsuccessful.

The suspects then stole a quantity of liquor from the store before they fled.

Police are looking for two men, one wearing a grey hoodie style sweatshirt with a red shirt underneath, camouflage pants, and dark coloured boots. The second suspect was wearing a black hoodie style sweatshirt with a red shirt underneath, green pants and running shoes. Anyone with information is asked to contact OPP or Crimestoppers.

Woman charged in Walmart theft A 36 year old woman from Brantford is facing theft charges at Walmart in Simcoe.

Crystal Lynn Rivers of Brantford was arrested on Saturday, January 12 at around 9:16 p.m. after staff at the store reported the theft to police.

She is now facing one charge of theft under $5000 and is scheduled to appear in Simcoe court at a later date.

OPINION

Smoke, mirrors and roadblocks leave Canadians in the dark about Uni’sto’ten RACHEL A. SNOW

It is only two weeks into 2019 and there is renewed vigour to Canada’s attacks on indigenous people.

First, land defenders in BC supporting and insisting on consultation with hereditary leaders of the Wet’suwet’en were assaulted, arrested and forcibly removed from their own lands.

In a disgusting twist of irony, someone on Twitter pointed out that defending one’s land was the claim Gerald Stanley took when he was acquitted of killing a Cree man, Colten Boushie — and locally the defence that Peter Khill took in the shooting death of Jonathan Styres. This is now the same stance that indigenous men and women are being beaten and arrested for by the RCMP at the behest of a court ordered injunction for a pipeline.

When it comes to working out a nation to nation relationship with indigenous people — Canada is dumb. I wish there was a more eloquent or succinct way to put it. That is, without drawing assumptions that Canada is evil.

It’s hard when you are indigenous to not feel like there is ill will at play Perhaps that is naive to assume there are no sinister plots. After all we’re still talking about the colonizer. Is the Liberal platform of Justin Trudeau’s leadership a “fake it till you make it” approach when it comes to indigenous people?

Pledge to end boil water

advisories. Promise to help bridge the gap and modernize on reserve infrastructure. Propose a “true nation-to-nation relationship”. Fully commit to the UNDRIP on an international stage.

Now on the back end — propose legislation that ends sovereignty and pitch it to small and underfunded reserve communities first with the promise of perpetual funding. Tell us that Canada has to “do better” and pledge on live tv that Liberals will make new changes to legal framework for indigenous people. Pay billions to buy a pipeline that everyone wants to halt. And when you get revealed by indigenous people as a phony— just engage in a bit of good old fashioned table turning tossed with some "that’s what you get” cabinet shuffles — proving once and for all that a native inspired tattoo and a ride in the back of a truck on the Rez does not make one a true ally to indigenous people.

It’s things like this that get you reamed out at town hall meetings by indigenous people in attendance Justin.

Jody Wilson-Raybould’s shuffle out of Justice and over to head Veterans Affairs definitely feels like a swift kick in the you know where. Is this our punishment for not being good little Indian boys and girls?

Regional Chief Welcomes Cabinet Shuffle Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald welcomes the new Minister responsible for Indigenous Services Canada and those other impacted by the cabinet shuffle that included key changes to the Treasury Board, Justice, Indigenous Services and Veteran’s Affairs portfolios.

“On behalf of the Chiefs of Ontario, I’d like to welcome and offer my congratulations. I look forward to working with those Ministers involved in today’s cabinet shuffle in their new assignments,” said Regional Chief Archibald. “Of note though, I would like to acknowledge Minister Jane Philpott who displayed such strong and dedicated leadership qualities during her time as the Minister of Indigenous Services.

Nations issues such as working on health transformation, and child well-being. I am disappointed that she will be leaving these files at such a time, however we would like to thank her for her hard work and I believe that her promotion to the Treasury Board will be beneficial for First Nations with her recent expertise on the file.”

“In her place, we welcome the appointment of Minister Seamus O’Regan of Newfoundland. I was happy to meet him at the AFN MOU Joint Priorities meeting today and have begun already to build a positive relationship in order to keep moving forward in such a manner that we established with Minister Philpott. We hope to do this immediately and begin collaborating on ways to progress First Nations in Ontario

and ensure our priorities will continue to be met.”

Other cabinet moves included Jody Wilson-Raybould, who will replace Seamus O’Regan as the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs and MP David Lametti of Montreal, former professor of Law at McGill who became the new Minister of Justice.

“I would like to also acknowledge the work Minister Wilson-Raybould had done for First Nations during her time as the Justice Minister. She not only made history as the First Indigenous woman to hold the post but had worked closely with First Nations and contributed to renewing the relationship between Canada and First Nations. We would like to wish her well on her next endeavour as Minister of Veteran’s Affairs and welcome MP David

Lametti as the new Minister of Justice.” said Regional Chief Archibald. “We particularly look forward to working closely with Minister Lametti to ensure First Nations needs are recognized and actively met and we hope Canada will continue to collaborate and work together to ensure justice and equality for First Nations across Canada.”

The Chiefs of Ontario look forward to working with all the new Ministers and returning Ministers in today’s shuffle. We hope to that with today’s shuffle, that Canada will continue to be responsive to First Nations issues and move forward on our shared priorities.

TWO ROW TIMES

2019 opens with Indigenous peoples PROTECTING their territory while Justin Trudeau’s Canada continues to try to deceive the Canadian public about the real relations between his government and the original people of this land.

At Unist’oten, RCMP enforced an interim court order delivered December 14, 2018. Less than one month later, the RCMP are on site to uphold “the rule of law” as Trudeau puts it.

Canadians should know that Trudeau cherry picks when his government will uphold the “rule of law”. This is clear in the First Nation child welfare crisis with babies being removed from mothers in hospitals, with 90,000 documents not given to the Human Rights Tribunal in Cindy Blackstock’s case, and with the federal Liberals continuing to refuse to compile with a court ordered remedy.

At Unist’oten the RCMP were quick to deny access to reporters, in particular the Indigenous media outlet APTN. While Trudeau blusters about following the “rule

of law”, it was his own father that advocated for the Charter that includes freedom of thought, opinion and expression which encompasses the press and their right to report in a “democracy”.

As Trudeau readies his party of Liberals for re-election his track record with the original people, the First Nations is as bleak and empty as his earlier campaign promises. Canadians remain blind to the fact that there are treaties between the original people and Great Britain that pre-date the origin of this settler state, called Canada.

From the Eastern door, there are agreements in place to work side by side in friendship where the original people, the First Nations or Indians can retain who they are - while sharing the land, water and resources with the newcomers.

With these various treaties (binding legal agreements) come specific terms consistent with mainstream contract law. As settler governments rise they alter the terms or subject them to interpretation that is primarily Whitethink race based, or for the nebulous “greater good”. In “aboriginal law” cases settled at the Supreme Court, the

terminology is all legal speak without any inclusion of true indigenous laws except to say they are sui generis (of their own kind or stand alone laws). However, laws and cases before mainstream primarily white male or female judges are deliberated with their own limited contextual understanding. How is it that the Canadian judiciary is versed in the language, land and spiritual based laws of the original people? Moreover, if they are not versed in this understanding can they be deciding on “aboriginal” issues?

Unist’oten like the recent stand off in Standing Rock over pipeline construction has had to bear the brunt of a foreign court with settler laws deciding the fate of their collective ability to follow their ancient ways of life.

Is this fair?

Additionally, having to leave or ignore their ancestral teachings, the original people or First Nations are expected to embrace Whitespeak solutions like reconciliation without really having any say other than the paternal special words and tactics (SWAT) promoted by the government of the day.

This is our reality Canada.

Things are not getting better between the state and the original people, the First Nations, the Indians.

In Unist’oten for the media sources that did get into the site, the questions asked pertained to why there are two different forms of leadership at Unist’oten? Premier Hogan used political mish mashing and threw in the word complexity while the Prime Minister would not address it but later said, we need to do better.

In a nutshell, non-native academics have shown that Indian agents from the Department of Indian Affairs threw out First Nation original governance systems. Indian agents preferred to work with the more malleable band members. With “democracy” and “the voting elections” brought into Canadian Indian reserves, by Indian Affairs, it is easy to see that an unchanging demographic will result in the biggest family or clan controlling the vote, the leadership, and by extension the reserve.

This is why there are occasional documents or incidents that surface about corruption or mismanagement on reserve. The missing part of the analysis is that Indian Affairs under the

Federal government has created and maintains this systemic wrong at the expense of other band members and Canadians.

In British Colombia there are further obfuscating matters. Historic numbered treaties cover part but not all of British Colombia. Canada is the state that is working with the original people or First Nations in this province to establish a nation-to-nation relationship. Canada uses words like self-government and modern day treaties to define THIS relationship.

Cases like Nisga’a, Sparrow, Delgamuukw, and Haida came out of this province on land title, rights pertaining to fishing, land title and rights pending title agreement.

It seems that Canada or British Colombia can’t negotiate title which is the bigger issue because: with definitive agreement on who “owns” the land, First Nations will receive all other “aboriginal” rights.

Hogan tried to state that hereditary clans of leadership of the Wet’suwet’en are the “emerging” governance models coming out in the clash at Unist’oten. Wrong. The hereditary leadership and their clans are the true governance system that existed for millennia

pre-contact.

Once it became clear that mainstream media was zeroing in on two groups the Indian Act Band council consenters and the hereditary leadership that is saying they do not consent, this issue was somehow “settled”. LNG subsidiaries are driving through the Unist’oten camp undisturbed.

Trudeau also got a letter from the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination stating his proposed “framework” would infringe on Indigenous peoples rights to be protected at International law. Trudeau then shuffles his cabinet demoting his top “aboriginal” Minister from Justice to Veteran Affairs.

The Indians who fall under Trudeau whether on reserve on in his party must be cheerleaders for his skewed reconciliation package.

If Canadians or media continue to see that consent is being manufactured through Federally controlled Indian Band leadership then the whole idea of reconciliation starts to unravel.

Indigenous writers and media have been and will continue to write this perspective. Is Canada listening?

Man charged with first degree murder of Newfoundland Indigenous woman CONNE RIVER, NL — A Newfoundland man has been charged with the first-degree murder of a 28-year-old Indigenous woman whose death shook her small, rural First Nation.

The Miawpukek Mi'kamawey Mawi'omi First Nation asked people to wear red Friday in honour of Chantel John, who RCMP say was killed Wednesday evening in Conne River, N.L. RCMP arrested her ex-boyfriend, 35-yearold Kirk Keeping, of St. Jacques, N.L., late Thursday. ``This is nothing random — they were known to each other,'' said RCMP Cpl. Jolene Garland Keeping remains in custody after appearing in provincial court Friday.

Miawpukek Chief Mi'Sel Joe said Keeping was John's ex-boyfriend.

In a statement on its web site, the First Nation said her death illustrates the ongoing national crisis of murdered and missing Indigenous women.

The First Nation encouraged anyone wishing

to show support for John's family to wear red.

Red dresses have become a symbol of murdered and missing Indigenous women in Canada.

Joe said the entire community is grieving for John, who was in her late 20s and a member of Joe's family through adoption.

He described her Thursday as a quiet and respectful person. ``Right now everybody is in a bit of a shock and the whole community is under a dark cloud trying to deal with this tragedy,'' Joe said.

In a Facebook post, the First Nation emphasized the impact of John's loss on the community. ``Such violence does not happen in small, rural communities. We are

family, we are friends who are trying to deal with the murder of a young Indigenous women,'' it said.

It said her death ``has hit home that the MMIWG crisis has no boundaries.'' ``(Her) death adds to the growing number of Canadian Indigenous women who are disproportionately affected by all forms of violence,'' the post read. ``Over the coming days and weeks, we will do our best to support and comfort each other as this shock reverberates through our families and community.''

Keeping is scheduled to return to court Jan. 30.

35-year-old Kirk Keeping has been charged with first-degree murder.

WHITEHORSE — An Indigenous woman is being inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame for the first time.

Kate Carmack of Yukon will be recognized as one of the handful of prospectors whose discovery of placer gold set off what the hall of fame describes as ``one of the world's greatest gold rushes'' in the Klondike more than a century ago.

In 1999, the organization recognized four men who were known as the Klondike Discoverers by inducting them into the hall of fame for locating the site where the gold was found on Rabbit River in 1896.

But the president of Yukon Women in Mining says many stories also say Carmack may actually have found the first gold nugget while fishing with her family.

Anne Turner said Carmack was ``missed'' in the first round of recognition but it's ``really exciting'' that she is finally being honoured.

Carmack is the third woman to be inducted into the hall, joining 1991 inductee Viola MacMillan, a mine finder and financier, and early 1900s Manitoba prospector Kathleen Rice, who was inducted in 2014.

The Klondike Discovers who were previously inducted are Carmack's husband, George Carmack, Skookum Jim Mason and Dawson Charlie of the Tagish First Nation, and Nova Scotia prospector Robert Henderson.

Thunder Bay, Ont. Police say they were notified about a body on the side of a highway on Sunday.

They say officers found the body and they are treating the case as a sus-

Police have not released details on the identity of the deceased.

They say a post-mortem examination is being scheduled in Toronto.

Kate Carmack.

The hall of fame description of Carmack's contribution says her traditional knowledge and skills supported her husband, Mason and Charlie during years of less productive prospecting. ``Specifically, (Carmack's) ability to sew and market her mukluks and mittens to fellow prospectors provided the means to support their work,'' the hall writes. ``Oral histories shared among local Indigenous communities suggest that (Carmack) herself found the first nugget of gold.''

When the first four Klondike Discoverers were inducted in 1999, the hall said Henderson had tipped off the other three.

Turner said Carmack's induction underlines the importance of women and Indigenous prospectors in the Klondike gold rush. ``I think it demonstrates that the foundation of Yukon's mining industry

came with women and with Yukon First Nations at the table right out of the gate,'' she said.

Yukon Women in Mining has also named an award in Carmack's honour. Tara Christie, president and CEO of Banyan Gold, was the first recipient of the Kate Carmack Women in Mining Award in November.

The rush brought 30,000 prospectors to the Klondike gold fields in just two years as prospectors flooded north, hungry to repeat the bonanza of the 1849 California gold rush. ``The Klondike rush opened up the North, as well as Canadians' eyes to its possibilities,'' the hall of fame says. ``An active placer mining industry continues in the Yukon today and some of its miners are the descendants of the men and women who joined the Klondike rush a century ago.''

LA RONGE, SK — Mounties say a five-year-old child was wounded after several gunshots were fired at a house in northern Saskatchewan.

RCMP were called Sunday night to a home on the Lac La Ronge Indian Band reserve.

Officers say a bullet went through a wall of the home and hit the child inside.

There were other people in the house, but they did not report injuries.

The child was taken to hospital with what was described as a serious but non-life-threatening injury.

RCMP say the shooting suspects fled the scene and officers continue to investigate.

In 2008, a toddler in a home on the Samson Cree reserve in central Alberta was hit by a bullet during a drive-by shooting.

Asia Saddleback was 23 months old when she was shot while she was eating dinner with relatives. She survived but doctors were unable to remove the bullet lodged between her liver and spine.

A Box Social is a tradition where women decorate a cardboard box and fill it with a ‘mystery’ lunch or dinner for two, The contents of the decorated box are unknown to the bidder until they have purchased it. Men bid on the woman’s boxes anticipating a meal with the woman who brought the box. The bidding may involve teasing, joking and competition. The event frequently takes place in a town hall, school gymnasium, or church hall. The practice has fallen out of favour with the young people in the 1970s-1990s, but has seen some resurgence in recent years. The rules today have become less rigid. Men now provide boxes as well, but the main goal remains the same: raising money for school, church or organization.

WINNIPEG — Two social media videos show a newborn baby girl being taken from the arms of her Indigenous mother by Manitoba social workers and police — an apprehension that First Nations leaders say is all too common in a child-welfare system biased against Aboriginals.

The videos, broadcast live Thursday on Facebook by the woman's uncle, show her sitting in a hospital bed, cradling her baby and rocking back and forth as social workers and police explain that the baby is being taken into care.

The woman is crying softly and being hugged by relatives, one of whom is wailing in sorrow. Eventually, police place the newborn into a car seat and take her away.

The mother is not told when she might see her baby again. ``The video itself was disturbing and raised a number of questions, obviously, for anybody

The mother who cannot be named has since had a visit with the baby. CFS says they are working on a reunification plan with the family.

who saw it,'' Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said in an interview Friday. ``It certainly begs the question as to whether or not this family was treated in a way where the unity of the family and the bond between parent and child was respected as something that had to be taken into serious consideration.''

Statistics from the Manitoba government show newborn apprehensions

occur, on average, about once a day in the province.

About 90 per cent of kids in care are Indigenous.

The video segments, which had been viewed more than 400,000 times

by Friday afternoon, offered a rare glimpse into a normally private matter.

They also display a biased child welfare system, according to Indigenous leaders. ``The system that we're subject to is not a system for our people,'' Grand

Chief Garrison Settee, who represents northern Manitoba First Nations, said Friday at a news conference with the mother, her family and other community leaders. ``We want to take back our babies because they belong to us. They belong ... in their own culture, in their own societies, among their own people.''

The woman, her baby, and other family members cannot be identified under Manitoba law.

The baby was taken away because of a false accusation that the mother was drunk when she arrived at the hospital to give birth, the woman's aunt said.

The videos show family members telling social workers the accusation was not true. They ask whether the baby could stay with one of them instead of being taken away.

The request is denied.

All the while, the mother is sitting on her hospital bed, cradling her baby. She recalled getting strength from her infant daughter. ``I was blindsided ... and it's just astonishing how

far this had to go,'' she said. ``When I was holding my baby, she was actually the one who was keeping me content and strong and focused. And I'm still holding on to that.''

Cora Morgan, a family advocate for the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, said the mother may have been targeted for a ``birth alert'' — a note to social workers that an expectant mother is high risk — because she had another daughter who was temporarily in care several years ago.

The woman had previously sought help for addictions and with parenting from Child and Family Services, Morgan said, but was not intoxicated when she arrived at the hospital to give birth.

The General Child and Family Services Authority, which oversees the social workers involved, would not reveal details of the case Friday, but stood by its decision. ``Apprehending a child is a very difficult decision, and is done only as a last resort and when required to ensure children are kept safe,'' authority chief

executive officer Debbie Besant said in a written statement. ``I have personally reviewed this file in detail and met with the agency staff involved, including the director of the agency.

I am confident in the decisions made.''

The federal government has promised new legislation this year aimed at keeping more Indigenous families together, and Philpott said consultations to date have raised recurring themes. ``One of the specific things that we heard from people is that the emphasis has to be on prevention, and to look for every possible way that we can support families to be together.''

The mother, meanwhile, is optimistic she might be reunited with her daughter shortly. The case file has been transferred from Winnipeg to an agency in the woman's home community. ``I'm very hopeful things are going to work out in a positive way.''

VANCOUVER — Conservationists in British Columbia are pushing for protections on an area of old-growth forests they describe as ``Canada's most magnificent.''

The grove is located on Crown land in the San Juan River Valley near Port Renfrew on southern Vancouver Island in the unceded territory of the Pacheedaht First Nation band.

The 13-hectare grove of immense old-growth Sitka spruce and big-leaf maples draped in hanging mosses and ferns was first located in October and explored again in late December, said Ken Wu, executive director of the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. ``It is probably the most spectacular and beautiful old growth forest I've ever seen and I've explored a lot of old growth forests,'' Wu said. ``(The trees) look shaggy because they've got all this hanging mosses and ferns on their branches. So they look like ancient prehistoric creatures.''

Most of the grove is unprotected, with a small portion — about four hectares — off-limits to loggers through the provincial government's old-growth management area, he said.

Some of the trees in this grove are near-record sized, including a Sitka spruce with a diameter of 3.1 metres that would rank among the top 10 in the province, Wu said.

A massive maple that conservationists have nicknamed the ``Woolly Giant'' may have the longest horizontal branch of any tree in British Columbia, measuring 23.1 metres, he said. ``It's covered in thick mats of hanging mosses and ferns, resembling a prehistoric monster.''

Wu said conservationists are calling this area of old-growth forests, ``The ''Mossome`` Grove,'' which

is short for mossy and awesome. ``It includes lots of the tall, straight Sitka spruce like Roman pillars and they're very impressive giants along with ancient moss covered shaggy, bigleaf maples,'' he said.

It's hard to say how old these trees are, Wu said. ``These are great growing conditions,'' he said. ``The trees can be as young as 400 years old but I would estimate around the 800-year-old range for the big spruce.''

Ancient Forest Alliance and other conservation groups are asking the provincial government to save not just this newly found old-growth forest but others too, he said.

This forest can be saved from logging if the provincial government simply extends its existing old growth management area, which currently protects about two hectares of this grove, he said.

The B.C. Ministry of Forests said in a statement that the grove is contained in a woodlot operated by Pacheedaht Forestry Ltd., and there is no imminent logging planned. ``The Ancient Forest Alliance supplied the ministry with an updated map of the grove area yesterday, so ministry staff are currently reviewing the map to determine what protections exist in the area,'' it said.

Under the Vancouver Island Land Use Plan, over

13 per cent of Vancouver Island will never be logged, including 520,000 hectares of old growth forests, the statement said.

The ministry is also updating the forest inventory for Vancouver Island and monitoring the effectiveness of best management practices related to protecting legacy, or big trees, it said.

Wu said conservation organizations want comprehensive science-based legislation to protect not just this grove but all oldgrowth forests.

Old-growth forests are vital to sustaining wildlife, including unique species that can't live in the second-growth tree plantations that old growth forests are being replaced with, he said.

The Mossome Grove is home to not just some of the oldest and grandest trees but also animals and birds such as Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, black bears, wolves, cougars, marbled murrelet, northern goshawk, pygmy owl, screech owl, Vaux's swift, and long-eared bats.

They are also vital for tourism, providing clean water for communities and wild salmon, for carbon storage, and for many First Nations cultures, Wu said. ``We've already lost well over 90 per cent of our grandest old-growth forests in the valley bottoms,'' he said.

Level One Indigenous language courses have no prerequisite, meaning they are open to ALL Grand Erie secondary school students.

GREETINGS!

A new initiative this year, the Multi-lingual Indigenous Language Learners program, provides support to students who have been in an Indigenous language immersion program at any time during their Elementary School years.

Greetings and welcome to the second edition of Grand Erie’s Indigenous Education News insert.

January is a very busy month for our Secondary Students. This time of the year means the end of Semester 1 is fast approaching, with exams on the way.

Grand Erie Secondary School exams take place January 24-30, 2019. Semester 2 begins Monday, February 4, 2019.

It is also that time of year for Secondary Students to complete their course selection sheets for the 2019-20 school year.

This includes Grade 8 students who will be transitioning to Secondary School in the fall.

As always, Mohawk and Cayuga language courses as well as a number of Native Studies courses are offered at various Secondary Schools across Grand Erie.

Additionally, Grade 8 transition meetings will be held for every Grade 8 student who attends a Six Nations or New Credit Elementary School between January 22 and January 30.

Parents of Grade 8 students should be hearing from their child’s Elementary School about their specific appointment time. If parents/guardians have questions regarding course selection or Secondary School transitions plans they can contact their child’s school directly.

Finally, I would also like to recognize the winners of the Six Nations High Average Awards and the STAY Awards The Six Nations High Average Awards are given to Six Nations Secondary School students who have achieved the highest average in their grade for the school year. The STAY Awards are given to Six Nations students in Grades 7-12 who achieve the highest average in Mathematics and Science courses.

Congratulations to all of these amazing awards winners for a job well done!

I hope you enjoy the second edition of our Grand Erie Indigenous Education News insert.

Grand Erie recognizes the value of immersion language schooling and actively supports students transitioning into an education setting that is fully English language based.

HONOURING THEIR VOICES – TEACHING ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM IN THE ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM Grand Erie – Six Nations Joint Professional Development Day Collaboration was the theme of the d ay at the Grand Erie-Six Nations Joint Professional Development session on November 2, 2018. Close to 200 educators from Six Nations and Grand Erie schools congregated at the Gathering Place by the Grand eager to learn how to bring the residential school history into their classrooms in a sensitive and empowering way.

Retired Six Nations Teacher Luanne Bradley presented a brief history of the residential school system which segwayed into the featured guest panel.

One could hear a pin drop in the huge conference hall as four residential school survivors shared their poignant stories of life in the Mush Hole and the dismal consequences of that experience.

The speakers concluded with their personal journeys of healing and self recovery, explaining that sharing their story is a big part of that healing.

Sabrina Sawyer, Indigenous Lead and First Nations, Metis, Inuit Teacher Consultant for Grand Erie, shared the inquiry approach to teaching students about highly sensitive topics and becoming agents of change for a better future Canada.

Sawyer also introduced Grand Erie’s recent Grade Six Social Studies curriculum document Meaningful Reconciliation.

This resource, created in consultation with knowledge keepers and educators from Six Nations and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, is now accessible to all Grand Erie, Six Nations and New Credit teachers in digital format.

Organized and facilitated collaboratively by a joint Grand Erie-Six Nations planning committee, teacher-participants went away with Pamela Toulouse’s book Truth & Reconciliation, a link to the Meaningful Reconciliation curriculum document, and a Google drive full of related resources and teaching ideas for this very important piece of our history.

Our goal is to work collaboratively with local Indigenous communities to provide programs that support language restoration and revitalization goals.

To that end, Grand Erie currently offers two Indigenous language courses at the Secondary School level.

Facilitated by Atala Andratis, Grand Erie English Language Learner Teacher Consultant, this program involves an English language literacy and numeracy assessment that informs teachers of classroom approaches that will ensure participating students can more effectively access curriculum content in the English language.

GRAND ERIE HONOURS NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY BY ADJUSTING ITS 2019 EXAM SCHEDULE FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS Grand Erie District School Board is amending its 2018-19 School Year Calendar for Secondary Students to re-designate Friday, June 21, 2019 as an instructional day instead of an exam day.

The Board’s decision will ensure Indigenous students are not required to choose between writing an exam and participating in important cultural events to commemorate National Indigenous Peoples Day, which is honoured each year on June 21.

The decision aligns with Grand Erie’s MultiYear Plan, Success for Every Student, and its commitment and focus on Equity.

“In the past, when an exam was held on National Indigenous Peoples Day, students have been accommodated by their school and were allowed to write their exam on an alternative day,” said Brenda Blancher, Grand Erie’s Director of Education. “While it was a great compromise, it’s not an acceptable one moving forward.”

“National Indigenous Peoples Day is an important and culturally significant day, for both our students and our Board,” continued Blancher. “This decision is evidence of our fierce commitment to the ideals of equity and inclusion. It also demonstrates our longterm focus on Reconciliation, and our sincere commitment to creating relationships built on mutual respect and understanding with our Indigenous communities.”

The Ministry of Education has confirmed its approval of the revisions to Grand Erie’s 201819 School Year Calendar.

Whether it is an inherited gift or a trick used to decide chance, the quest of witching for water is one that has crossed millennia.

Dowsing, witching, divining; although the name of water witching may have changed in different cultures and eras, the techniques have not.

Some claim that this practice originated in the 1500’s in Germany because the art was widely used by miners in Germany for hundreds of years to locate water and ore deposits.

However, French explorers, upon stumbling across the Tassili Caves, found many of the walls were covered with marvellous pre-historic paintings. Among the many fascinating murals, not only did they locate an art gallery devoted exclusively to the depictions of spacecraft and super-natural beings, they also found a remarkable huge wall painting of a dowser.

The dowser was holding

a forked branch in his hands searching for water, surrounded by a group of admiring tribesmen.

These wall murals were carbon dated and found to be a least 8000 years old, predat-ing the belief of the practice having Germanic origins. The act of dowsing is also mentioned in biblical passages, as well as in scriptures in ancient Greece making the practice ancient.

A wooden dowsing

rod or “forked twig” itself looks very much like a wish bone, with two rods naturally coming to a point and connecting at a stem. But there are other forms, whereby the us-er may use two rods of metal to divine other metals in the earth.

Particularly, the wooden rod is something common place for many farmers as you can find them on the walls of barns, inconspicuously

he made as a billionaire philanthropist. He promised to protect undeveloped and bio-diverse land in the picturesque western Carolina mountains for fu-ture generations.

Sweeney has spent millions on conservation projects in his home state of North Carolina to pro-tect and preserve its acres of forest since 2008. He has donated money to several conservation parcel projects including a 1,500 acre expansion to Mount Mitchell State Park. While he has also purchased nearly 40,000 acres over the last decade, which makes him one of the largest private land owners in the state.

His efforts have become increasingly important as a study led by North Carolina State University professor

Nick Haddad and conducted by 24 scientists, found that there are only 2 truly intact forests left on Earth. When the study’s authors examined the effects of human involvement on forests, they found habitat fragmentation leads to 13 to 75 percent decrease in plant and animal diversity, reduces the ability of animals and plants to survive and can even distort the food chain as smaller patches of forest tend to have an increase in predator population.

Fortnite Creator protecting forests STAFF REPORT

Tim Sweeney, the creator of the online video game Fortnite, has been keeping himself busy by providing access into a different world for online gamers. Sweeney himself had a hand in Epic Games, which has given us popular video game titles such as Unreal Tournament, Gears of War and, most recently, the massively popular game Fortnite. However, it is his work away from the screen that is currently grabbing attention from many.

Best known for founding the video and 3-D software company Epic Games in the 1990’s, Sweeney is making good on a promise

hung among other tools such as axes and shovels.

On a chilly winter afternoon; Alouise Hill, the wife of an inter-generational farmer, sat down to talk about her experience as an experienced “water witcher.”

Not even touching a dousing rod until after her children were born, Hill later divined the well that rests at the corner of her home. Her introduction to the craft came from Emerson Hill, her fa-therin-law and a Mohawk inter-generational farmer and agriculturalist, who wanted to see if she could do it.

“He got me to try back where we live now and we didn’t need to dig that deep to find water. That well is only 32 feet deep,” she said, mentioning that the well was dug in

1974. “But there towards the end, when I got close to quitting, good grief it seemed like the older I got the more the stick would move. It was kind of scaring me,” she said with a laugh.

She showed how to hold a divining rod with a spare turkey wish bone from a previous meal, showing that her hands spread the “v” of the bone apart. But when holding a real rod; while keeping the stem facing away from the holder and once water is found, the nose of the rod she said, will turn towards the holder and point down ward.

“You really gotta hold tight and that’s what Emerson said, you really got to hold on to it because when the stick starts moving that’s when you know you’ve found it. But that’s what the scary part is, is when the stick starts moving and people kind of look at you like you’re the one moving it, but you’re not.”

Using this method, the number of wells that Hill has divined is in the dozens as visitors would come to ask her to “witch for water,” because they heard “she’s the best.”

Although she is unsure of how she became known for her witching besides word of mouth, she recalled a time when she witched water for a relative and her rod suspiciously pointed downward to a rock. But once the rock was removed water was found just below.

As she found a lot of success in witching water, when asked about the type of compensation she would receive for it, Hill explained that she was told that if a person has a gift like this that they shouldn’t charge for it.

“It’s never been a money issue for me, they’re the ones that have to pay to get the well dug, I’m just helping them find what they’re looking for,” she said. “But I will say one thing, and that’s that it drains you. It’s like it takes all of your energy to do it and I would go home after and go right to sleep.”

She imagines that her tiredness is not unlike the tiredness felt after a full day of swimming as being exposed to the elements is a draining activity.

But the question as to how the mechanics of water witching work can only be summed up by speculation. Perhaps it is the water content of the human body that affects the movement of the rod, or perhaps earthly magnetism that is amplified by the rod ends being held apart; it hasn’t been explained or broken down for hundreds of years.

Just as Thomas Edison was once asked, “what is electricity?” And he replied with “I don’t know – but its there – so lets use it”, the same mentality can be said for water witchers as the practice has been proved to work. That is, if the witcher is capable.

The well has been revamped since ’74, but it is still and example of Hills water witching.

Dry New Years event “just what the community needs” JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — The Big Joe Blues Band is doing it again. They are offering a Dry Valentines Day Dance to the community on Friday, Feb.15th at the Community Hall, with special guest Crystal Bomberry, in the wake of the great response to the dry “Kick-off to 2019”. More about that as the details are worked out.

2019 came a bit early

for some people on Six Nations this year — and for those in attendance it came without next day hangovers, DWI charges or intoxicated fights with people you love.

This year, Joe Sharrow and his wife Val put together a community event, the “Kick-off to 2019” dry dance at the Six Nations Community Hall on December 29th.

It was an early night out, with the dance beginning at 6 pm, and everyone home happy, and safely by 11 pm.

Beloved Six Nations singer Crystal Lynn Bomberry performed to get the night started after a “welcome meal” of Pizza, salad and Wings, and opening address by Frank Miller.

The Big Joe Blues Band, with members Big Joe Sharrow, Ron Lemky on drums, Randell Hill on guitar, Jimmy Miller on keyboards, Jim Windle on bass and special guest Blaine Bomberry on guitar, took it from there.

The dance floor was well used throughout the night, and judging

by the comments from those in attendance, it was a smashing success.

Organizers and guests alike shared their hopes that many more of these dry-events will follow, as Big Joe brings his message of recovery, sobriety and clean living to the people by way of his own personal story.

Those who have known Big Joe for a long time will recall a different Big Joe than the one on stage now. After fronting one of Six Nations most popular dance and party bands,

the Breeze, for more that 25 years, Joe and his former bandmates began to drift apart especially after Joe began using cocaine and other hard drugs.

When Joe was asked to leave the band, it was devastating to him.

Cocaine also began putting a serious wedge between himself and his wife who eventually offered him the choice of either cleaning up or getting out. It was as simple as that. Joe’s life had hit a wall of his own creation and something had to change.

Val was diagnosed with cancer and was entering therapy at around the same time as well. Now, with even more incentive to beat the demon, Joe finally got a handle on his addiction with the help of Val and many friends.

Her cancer treatments were successful and she is now in full remission.

Joe is now clean and sober and he is back on stage with a new band and a new message which he is bringing along with the great blues and rock Big Joe is known for.

The success of the event has proven that the Six Nations and Mississauga's communities will support this kind of event and he has more like it in mind.

“We’ve already started getting ready for our dry Valentines dance,” said Joe. “People really loved this.”

Big Joe Sharrow and wife Val are inviting Six Nations and area to join them and the Big Joe Rockin' Blues Band at the Community Hall Feb. 15th.

Tickets will be $15 adults, and $10 at the door for students, 16-17 years.. PHOTO SUBMITTED

The many Facebook messages since then attest to the success of the night.

“Had such a great time at Big Joe's New Years dry dance tonight with my fam. Lots of fun!, wrote Kim Bomberry on Facebook. “Awesome job once again! Think it finally got me out of the slump I been in. Looking FWD to the next one. Had such a great time at Big Joe's New Years dry dance tonight with my fam. Lots of fun!

And can never get sick of my sister's singing. Awesome job once again!”

Crystal Bomberry wrote on her page, “I am so proud of Joe Sharrow and his wonderful wife Val Valerie Sharrow for initiating a fun dry dance in our community,” said Crystal Lynn.

During their previous home game on Sunday, January 6, the Six Nations Snipers took a loss to the St. Catharines Shockwave 7-9 after allowing the Shockwave to take the lead in the first period.

But a strong come back was in the midst the following week, as the Snipers throttled the Oshawa Outlaws 21-14 last Sunday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. Goals came from scoreboard favourites including Wesley Whitlow (2), Vernon Hill (2), and Jake Bomberry (3), and racking up the most in assists included Danton Miller (3) and Tyler Brown (3).

This leaves the Snipers needing to climb a few spots in league standings to tip the scale for first place, which is currently held by the St. Catharines Shockwave with zero losses so far.

Meanwhile, the Six Nations Lady Snipers took a loss 5-8 in a match up with the Paris Timberwolves, but redeemed themselves with a shut out versus the Whitby Steelhawks 12-0 last Saturday. This sits the Lady Snipers at second behind the Timberwolves by 1 point average and tied in standings with the Lady Shockwave.

PHILADELPHIA — Known for having the most headstrong fans, the Philadelphia Wings wel-comed the visiting Minnesota Swarm last Saturday for their first NLL match up at the Wells Far-go Center.

Although the Swarm quickly clipped their wings and brought home victory 13-11, Philadelphia’s ingame announcer Shawny Hill called for star forward

Lyle Thompson’s “ponytail” to be cut off.

Traditionally, long hair is both an extension of and a display of the heritage from which Thomp-son, from the Onondaga Nation, N.Y., hails from. His brothers Jerome, Miles and Jeremy each wear a braid as well for the same reason as representative players of their nation and families.

Thompson later took to Twitter to write: “2019 and the @NLLwings arena announcer saying ‘let’s snip the pony tail’ to the whole arena and fans saying they’re going to scalp

me.... damn Daniel,” as he remarked that he hadn’t heard “stuff like this’ since high school.

Thompson also pointed out that two Wings fans seated behind the Swarm bench also made comments about scalping.

The situation wasn’t taken lightly by Swarm and Thompson fans, and Philadelphia promptly made the decision to remove Hill from all in-arena announcing assignments at the Wells Fargo Center.

“The Wings are working closely with the National Lacrosse League to implement ongoing diver-sity training for all employees which will include a focus on the Native North American roots and traditions of the sport,” read the Wings statement on Monday. “The Wings remain deeply apolo-getic for the offensive comments that overshadowed Saturday night’s game and are fully

com-mitted to furthering a culture of respect.”

This prompted the Swarm to release a statement, as the team hosts seven First Nations players including the Thompsons: “We stand behind all of our players, and in this partic-

ular instance, we stand in unity with Lyle, the entire Thompson family and all of our native players who were nega-tively impacted by the derogatory comment that was made Saturday CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Bantam Blackhawks show the difference between divisions, as their game versus the Aylmer Flames showed speedy skating and great puck control.

The Flames had a lot of size to their team, which they used to their advantage to push to the net.

They racked up a solid unassisted goal, which set the tone for the game. But with 21 seconds left in the period, Mitch Vanevery made the most of a few dangles and scored unassisted as well.

This left a tie to break in the second which was easily overcome as the Flames didn’t seem to have enough stamina.

Warning: sensitive content.

The tragic loss of Tashina General and her unborn son in 2008 sent the community of Six Nations into turmoil as the story of her death reached the people.

Her body was uncovered in a shallow grave as her family was left distraught after receiving a letter, composed by her murderer to mislead them to believe she had left with a “friend” and would return home after birthing her son.

But Kent Squire-Hill buried her after strangling her in “a fit of rage,” during an argument about his impending fatherhood.

At his trial in 2010, he was found guilty of second-degree murder and given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years.

After being released for several years, it has now been circulated that the Can-Am Hamilton Tigers wish to have Hill play as a representative of their division. However, the Current President of the Can-Am League Jason Pragle said that Hill will currently not be allowed to participate.

“The Can-Am has a not

made a public announcement, but we do have our regular meeting this week Saturday, January 19. We will be setting our schedule, and the Kent Owen Squire-Hill issue is on our agenda to discuss as a league. A letter was sent out to all teams and all Executive Board Members that at this time he will not be able to participate in the Can-Am at any capacity,” wrote Pragle.

Previously, Hill was barred from playing in other Haudenosaunee reserves with the precept that his actions were an act against the spiritual and medicinal aspects of the game.

Tashina General was just 21 and three months pregnant when her body was found in a shallow grave.

Riley Hess scored with help from Swamp who followed with his second unassisted goal, while Johnson fired with a slap after a pass from General.

This finalized the game 8-1 and was a well earned victory for the Blackhawks.

HAGERSVILLE — With a clean sweep the previous week against the Dunnville Mudcats 7-0, the Hagersville Hawks welcomed the Niagara Riverhawks to their territory to deliver a cleanly led game at the Hagersville Arena.

With doubles from

Ralph Taggart (2), Jacob Saddler (2), Matt Weston (2), Nick Visser (2), and singles from Tycie Cowan and Peter Cappucci, the game was finalized 8-3 as the Riverhawks could only muster a three goal return by the third.

The Hawks sit at third place in standings for the regular season, their next home game will put them up against the Hamilton Huskies, who place fourth.

OHSWEKEN — A thrilling game between the Six Nations Peewee Blackhawks and the Twin Centre Stars brought forth a tie game up until the second period.

Trinity Macdonald was great on transition and was unafraid to take control of the puck in either end, stealing the puck on several occasions from the Stars to feed to the offence.

And putting in the work in on transitions helped Crosby Anderson score unassisted in the first period.

But the Stars were pushy and made sure to return two goals by the end of the period.

By the second period, the Blackhawks were quick to take control early on. An unassisted goal was earned by Chaz Hill, and another to follow by Owin Macdonald who was assisted by Anderson. However, the Stars returned another.

Entering into the third period it looked like the Blackhawks were tired on offence, while the Stars seemed to pick up the pace. This brought the game to a close 5-3 with the victory going to the Stars.

Although able to take the puck, the SN Peewee Blachawks just needed to push a bit harder to get more shots on net.

With Isaiah McDonald working hard in net, the SN Peewee Blackhawks hustled through up until the third period, where they seemed to taper off and allow the Stars more work in their end.

night in Philadelphia. The comment that was made will not be tolerated and does not reflect the core values of our league or the great sport of lacrosse.

The Swarm is proud to have seven native athletes on our roster. Lacrosse is a native sport, and it is built on strong values and sportsmanship. The Swarm is proud to host our long-standing native heritage night every season to honour the sport, and to help educate our fanbase on the history and tradition of the game. We are working closely with the NLL, the Wings and all of our native players to help implement additional educational programs to help prevent a situation like this from ever arising again.”

As the administrators of residential schools in Canada and the United States would cut the hair of Indigenous children in one of many steps designed to separate the kids from their heritage, fami-lies and communities, many First

Nations people in Canada and the United States now wear their hair long in memory of those children and as an extension of Indigenous culture.

Although claiming to be unaware of the racial impact of his words, Hill released a public apology on Sunday writing: ”I am deeply sorry for my insensitive statements during last night's game. My words were poorly chosen and were not intended as racially motivated. I understand the pro-found hurt my words have caused. I offer my sincere apology.

My words do not reflect my per-sonal beliefs, but represent a lack of knowledge on and heritage and history. I am in the process of reaching out to speak directly to the Thompson brothers in hopes of providing a direct apolo-gy.”

Before Hill’s firing, the NLL called his comments “inappropriate” and promised disciplinary ac-tion that took effect almost immediately.

In Memoriam

Anzaldua, Elsie Mae (nee Gibson) - passed away peacefully at the hospital on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at the age 84 with her daughter Sherry at her side.

As I lay my head at the End of Day I can Still Hear your words I love you Say! You would always remind me of that Day In the hall In Grade Seven when Our Eyes first Met and the wave of my Hand you never forgot. Providence You would Say! But God’s plan was fixed from that Very day. Our Love stood strong for Richer or Poorer In Sickness and In health Now, Your Vacant chair across from me. I Still feel your presence in whatever I do.

As I reflect Back on all the memories Our Children, Our Grandchildren and Great too!

Are All reflections of you.

God’s word Hold True. His comfort, His Strength has carried me through.

A year ago, my whole life changed But always will Remain Ken & Lorraine We will Reunite in heaven Someday where All tears will be wiped clean away At family Gatherings we recall all faces We’ve seen and talk about ALL the tears That were shed, ALL Handshakes, and Hugs, The flowers, and cards that we read The Expressions of Love, that overwhelmed us And still does. A BIG Thank-you to ALL. Our Promise to you is we’ll never forget.

The Sault Family
