editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Ontario Works building in Ohsweken was evacuated Friday morning after a suspicious white powder was located in the building.

Police and fire officials later confirmed the substance to be a mixture of heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil.

Six Nations Fire and Emergency Services says one person was assessed by first responders at the scene.

Hazmat officials retrieved the powder and

began a two day process of decontaminating the building. Sunrise Court remained closed for most of Friday and was reopened at around 9:00 p.m..

SNFES says a search and testing for other drugs and dangerous substances was conducted throughout every room in the building.

That investigation ended with no additional sites or substances found.

No word yet on how or where the drugs were discovered inside the building or how much of the substance was found.

Police are investigating.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Six Nations Police at (519) 445 - 2811.

Dangerous substances were found in the Ontario works building located across the road from the Village Plaza in Ohsweken.

Fundraiser for car crash survivor

By Jonathan Garlow BRANTFORD – A fundraiser is being held Saturday, June 1st starting at noon for car crash survivor Jeramiah Folland. The spaghetti dinner will be held at the Moose Lodge, 145 West St. in Brantford, as the family of Jeramiah is hoping to raise funds for his medical expenses and new accommodations.

The 21 year old was involved in a severe car accident and suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury, which paralyzed him from the neck down. The accident happened April 26th on Highway 54 in between Six Nations and Brantford.

The GoFundMe acccount has reached one quarter of the goal in 22 days.

You can’t learn it the same way that kids can growing up.”

“Values get transferred really specifically. The humour, the worldview, the pain. They were observing what they were seeing at that time", says Katenies. “Like the word for Washington, DC - ‘Ranatakaryáshsne’ means ‘the men who eat the village'. Metaphorically, ‘the village destroyers’ – because our ancestors realized the destruction of their own villages was coming from that place.”

“Fridge in English just means Fridge. When we make up words it is about what does it do for us.

What is its function in society? If it's a verb it is doing something for us. ‘Kakhwawihstotha’ means Fridge — but it really means ‘it is keeping our food cold’,” says Katenies.

Another student, Katsitsarase Hill from Six Nations has two young children who are also in Mohawk immersion at the Everlasting Tree School. She says being able to use Mohawk in her home with her children has been a moving experience.

“The first time that I spoke to them and both of them understood and my oldest answered me back it was like – it was something that I always wanted. That fulfilled my heart just that. That is why I want to learn the language - for my kids.”

STEM Day Offers Future-Ready Challenges for Enrichment Students BRANTFORD — “The day was planned with both short-term and longterm goals in mind,” says Kezia Cooke, Enrichment Learning Resource Teacher for the Haldimand family of schools about the STEM Challenge Day (Science Technology, Engineering Mathematics) that provided interactive workshops for intermediate students in Grand Erie’s Enrichment programs, geared at developing 21st-century competencies. “Speaking long-term, many of the students here today will find employment in jobs that don’t exist right now, but the skills of collaboration, cooperation, and the ability to think outside the box together to solve problems will be vital.”

In the short-term, the day reinforced the social and academic skills crucial to a successful transition to secondary school.

Workshops offered an exploration of mechanical systems, devising plans and building bridges, creating energy though windmill model construction, and exploring engineering principles through coding

with Minecraft. Students were able to choose the workshops that piqued their particular interests and got to know students from across Grand Erie as they worked in new groups to meet the timed challenges head-on.

“One of the highlights of the day is that it’s bringing together like-minded, curiosity-driven students from the three Enrichment centres and gifted classrooms in Haldimand,

Norfolk, and Brant to work together by thinking creatively and critically,” said Joshua Malig, Enrichment Learning Resource Teacher for Brant/Brantford.

“They’re working through real-world issues and delving into solutions in a way they wouldn’t get to in a traditional classroom.”

The day was made possible thanks to the assistance and guidance of teachers and system consultants involved in

running the programming, with support from the Board and the Principal Lead of Special Education, Julie White. Participation from Microsoft and Western University’s Engineering Outreach Program further enhanced the event.

“Having Western University involved allowed students to think beyond secondary school, and to look at what they can do with science and engineering in the real world,” said Wanda Backus-Kelly, Enrichment Learning Resource Teacher for Norfolk. “It’s put the focus on achievement and the everyday aspects of engineering, while also highlighting women in engineering.”

The event supports Grand Erie’s Multi-Year Plan, which prioritizes Achievement by setting high expectations, and increasing student understanding of effective learning strategies.

Over in the Whirling Windmills workshop, students were working with everyday materials including a plastic Star-

bucks cup and using their knowledge of physics and gravity to create a windmill that could withstand high winds and successfully lift an object.

“We had some doubts about whether our windmill would be successful,

but we worked really well as a team and made some changes to our design,” said Ethan, Grade 8 student from St. George-German Public School.

“Watching it work after all the effort we put into it was the best part.”

Grateful for Community Every year during the month of May, Six Nations of the Grand River takes time to celebrate our services and things available to us during Community Awareness Week.

It also seems that year after year, Bread and Cheese time is when we get the most politically volatile. While pushback on issues is essential for a healthy and thriving political environment it is important not to take things to a personal level and remember that we are all humans — each with different thoughts and perspectives — and that expressing those ideas and opinions is another part of what makes Six Nations such a blessed place to be.

Do not take for granted that when you are at Six Nations you are surrounded by other Haudenosaunee people. There are many in the world who are not so lucky.

Be grateful for the incredible blessings we have at Six Nations. Fire and Emergency Services this week were readily available to avert a possibly tragedy after an amount of heroin mixed with deadly carfentenil was found in a public building. If we were a remote community and did not have the financial resources to have the first responders we do — that could have been a very different situation. Thank you to the first responders who handled that emergency with speed and accuracy.

Our community has a vast healthcare system, especially in comparison to other reserves in Cana-

da. Haudenosaunee people from Six Nations can get dialysis, physical therapy, have long term care without leaving home and even give birth to our babies in the bush with midwives and other Haudenosaunee mothers if we want to. We can go to the dentist, get in a workout, get bloodwork done and fill prescriptions here in the community among our own people.

There is even a mobile cancer screening bus that will give mammograms to women in the community.

These healthcare provisions are things that other Indigenous men, women and children in communities other than Six Nations do not have in their communities, and may not even have easy access to. Thank you to Six Nations healthcare providers both frontline workers and those doing the administrating to make it a possibility.

We have crews of people who take care of our roads and bridges, keeping us safe as we travel. There is a recycling program. You can register your kids in team sports and camps locally. There is a library, TWO Tim Hortons, and probably the best breakfast restaurants in all of Southern Ontario.

It is so easy to get lost in politics and keeping critical of the things you disagree with — but don’t let that take away from being grateful for the incredible blessing of this place we call home at Six Nations of the Grand River.

Reflecting on D-Day 75th anniversary On June 6, 1944, I arrived by boat on Juno Beach in Normandy, France, with the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

My role was in the mortar platoon. On June 17, I was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came. I went into a nearby shed to disarm

the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of my right arm.

When I returned to Canada, I became a member of The War Amps, which was started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt

to their new reality as amputees. Through the years, we have made it a goal to remember and commemorate our fallen comrades, and to educate youth about the horrors of war.

In Normandy, many Canadians died or suffered wounds that

they had to carry for the rest of their lives. As we mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, it’s important that we never forget.

Sincerely,

Allan Bacon Toronto

Six Nations Haudenosaunee veterans are unique as service men and women with dual citizenship — allowing the option of serving in the Canadian or American military. Six Nations people have a long and vibrant history as warriors dating back to the 1700s and the tradition of Bread and Cheese being given is a memorial emblem to honour Six Nations warriors service to the British Crown during the reign of Queen Victoria.

How severe, ongoing stress can affect a child's brain

By Lindsey Tanner A quiet, unsmiling little girl with big brown eyes crawls inside a carpeted cubicle, hugs a stuffed teddy bear tight, and turns her head away from the noisy classroom.

The safe spaces, quiet times and breathing exercises for her and the other preschoolers at the Verner Center for Early Learning are designed to help kids cope with intense stress so they can learn. But experts hope there's an even bigger benefit _ protecting young bodies and brains from stress so persistent that it becomes toxic.

It's no secret that growing up in tough circumstances can be hard on kids and lead to behaviour and learning problems. But researchers are discovering something different. Many believe that ongoing stress during early childhood _ from grinding poverty, neglect, parents' substance abuse and other adversity _ can smoulder beneath the skin, harming kids' brains and other body systems.

And research suggests that can lead to some of the major causes of death and disease in adulthood, including heart attacks and diabetes. ``The damage that happens to kids from the infectious disease of toxic stress is as severe as the damage from meningitis or polio

or pertussis,'' says Dr. Tina Hahn, a pediatrician in rural Caro, Michigan. She says her No. 1 goal as a physician is to prevent toxic stress.

Hahn routinely questions families about stresses at home, educates them about the risks and helps them find ways to manage.

Mounting research on potential biological dangers of toxic stress is prompting a new public health approach to identifying and treating the effects of poverty, neglect, abuse and other adversity. While some in the medical community dispute that research, pediatricians, mental health specialists, educators and community leaders are increasingly adopting what is called ``trauma-informed'' care.

The approach starts with the premise that extreme stress or trauma can cause brain changes that may interfere with learning, explain troubling behaviour, and endanger health. The goal is to identify affected children and families and provide services to treat or prevent continued stress.

This can include parenting classes, addiction treatment for parents, school and police-based programs and psychotherapy.

Many preschoolers who mental health specialist Laura Martin works with at the Verner Center have been in and out of foster homes or they live with parents struggling to make

ends meet or dealing with drug and alcohol problems, depression or domestic violence.

They come to school in ``fight or flight'' mode, unfocused and withdrawn or aggressive, sometimes kicking and screaming at their classmates. Instead of adding to that stress with aggressive discipline, the goal is to take stress away. ``We know that if they don't feel safe then they can't learn,'' Martin said. By creating a safe space, one goal of programs like Verner's is to make kids' bodies more resilient to biological damage from toxic stress, she said.

Many of these kids ``never know what's going to come next'' at home. But at school, square cards taped at kids' eye level remind them in words and pictures that lunch is followed by quiet time, then a snack, then hand-washing and a nap. Breathing exercises have kids roar like a lion or hiss like a snake to calm them. A peace table helps angry kids work out conflicts with their classmates.

The brain and disease-fighting immune system are not fully formed at birth and are potentially vulnerable to damage from childhood adversity, recent studies have shown. The first three years are thought to be the most critical, and children lacking nurturing parents or other close rela-

tives to help them cope with adversity are most at risk.

Under normal stress situations _ for a young child that could be getting a shot or hearing a loud thunderstorm _ the stress response kicks in, briefly raising heart rate and levels of cortisol and other stress hormones.

When stress is severe and ongoing, those levels may remain elevated, putting kids in a persistent ``fight or flight'' mode, said Harvard University neuroscientist Charles Nelson.

Recent studies suggest that kind of stress changes the body's metabolism and contributes to internal inflammation, which can raise risk for developing diabetes and heart disease.

In 2015, Brown University researchers reported finding elevated levels of inflammatory markers in saliva of children who had experienced abuse or other adversity.

Experiments in animals and humans also suggest persistent stress may alter brain structure in regions affecting emotions and regulating behaviour. Nelson and others have done imaging studies showing these regions are smaller than usual in severely traumatized children.

Nelson's research on neglected children in Romanian orphanages suggests that early intervention might reverse damage from toxic stress. Orphans sent

to live with nurturing foster families before age 2 had imaging scans several years later showing their brains looked similar to those of kids who were never institutionalized. By contrast, children sent to foster care at later ages had less grey matter and their brains looked more like those of children still in orphanages.

Toxic stress is not the same as post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD is a distinct mental condition that can result from an extremely traumatic event, including combat, violence or sexual abuse.

Experts say it can occur in adults and children who live with persistent toxic stress, including children in war-torn countries, urban kids who've been shot or live in violence-plagued neighbourhoods, and those who have been physically or sexually abused.

The toxic stress theory has become mainstream, but there are skeptics, including Tulane University psychiatrist Dr. Michael Scheeringa, an expert in childhood PTSD. Scheeringa says studies supporting the idea are weak, based mostly on observations, without evidence of how the brain looked before the trauma.

The American Academy of Pediatrics supports the theory and in 2012 issued recommendations urging pediatricians to educate parents and the public

about the long-term consequences of toxic stress and to push for new policies and treatments to prevent it or reduce its effects.

In a 2016 policy noting a link between poverty and toxic stress, the academy urged pediatricians to routinely screen families for poverty and to help those affected find food pantries, homeless shelters and other resources. ``The science of how poverty actually gets under kids' skin and impacts a child has really been exploding,'' said Dr. Benard Dreyer, a former president of the academy.

Some pediatricians and schools routinely screen children and families for toxic stress, but it is not universal, said John Fairbank, co-director of the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress. ``That's certainly an aspiration. It would be a big step forward,'' said Fairbank, a Duke University psychiatry professor.

Much of the recent interest stems from landmark U.S. government-led research published in 1998 called the Adverse Childhood Experiences study. It found that adults exposed to neglect, poverty, violence, substance abuse, parents' mental illness and other domestic dysfunction were more likely than others to have heart problems, diabe-

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council says they are working with other First Nations in Ontario to combat a Carbon charge on Six Nations residents natural gas bills.

The Carbon charge is part of the federal governments’s Greenshous Gas Pollution Pricing Act and did not include an on-reserve pricing scheme that would provide tax exemptions for on-reserve residents. As a result the Carbon charge has appeared on residents hydro bills, natural gas, auto gas and any economic development in the green energy sector.

SNEC issued a statement on May 16, addressing the new Carbon pricing charge saying the

charge is “essentially a tax on all fossil fuel products.

This includes hydro, gas and natural gas products sold within our community.”

SNEC says they are working to maintain tax immunity on reserve. As part of that announcement, the council released a 12 page summary analysis document addressing what the federal and provincial government is hoping to implement in the coming months, how it could affect the people of Six Nations, and if there are any opportunities in those initiatives.

SNEC’s statement went on to assert that the council is concerned for the progression of Bill C-91 Indigenous Languages Act and Bill C-92 Indigenous Families Act that, if passed, would impose further federal legislation

over Indigenous families lives.

“The Six Nations Elected Council totally rejects the efforts of the federal government to legislate our lives, our children and our languages. This approach is unacceptable, disrespectful and ignores the principal’s reconciliation and more importantly, the Nation to Nation relationship,” says the statement. “It is oblivious that the underlying intent of the federal Indigenous agenda is to expedite plans and create a legislation path, all without our participation or consent. This does not bring honour to the Crown.”

SNEC says they will continue to pressure federal and provincial governments to oppose those initiatives.

SIX NATIONS — About 100 people, chiefs and press were gathered at the Onondaga longhouse on Six Nations last week to hear a statement issued by the Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in opposition to Canada’s Indigenous Rights, Recognition and Implementation Framework.

Tadadaho Sid Hill read the written statement aloud and to those in attendance.

“The adoption of this so-called “Indigenous Rights Framework” is a violation of the principle of non-interference set out in our treaties and agreements,” read Hill.

“It is the position of the Haudenosaunee that we feely determine that our political status remains that of a free and sovereign nations, consistent

with this status and fundamental relationship we have with the Crown remains anchored to the treaties and agreements we currently hold.”

Hill said that the Grand Council does not accept Bill S-3 or the proposed Indigenous Rights Framework saying, “we disagree with the approach that is being undertaken by the

government to make these types of decisions on our behalf.”

Hill ended the announcement with an invitation to the Canadian Government and the Governor General to “come to the table to have a more open and constructive dialogue as to how we can treat together on matters pertaining to our relation-

ship moving forward.”

Hill then read another six page Confederacy Response to Canada’s proposed Rights Framework and Haudenosaunee citizenship. This statement gave some of the background of the historical treaty relationship between the Six Nations Confederacy and the Crown.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations of the Grand River has a new set of standards for conducting elections on the territory. The Six Nations of the Grand River 2019 Election Code was approved during a vote over the Bread and Cheese weekend.

The new code is 14 pages long and includes several changes. Candidates must now possess a minimum of high school diploma and provide proof of that to the Electoral Polling Officer.

Sitting council members can now hold office for a maximum of two consecutive terms, and term length is now 4 years.

The new council will consist of an elected chief and 9 elected councillors who

will represent the community at large instead of the previous model that had people running to represent one of the 6 districts.

New regulations for impeachment from office allow a petition to have a member of council removed if a majority of the people who participated in the vote request the council member’s removal. Council members can also be removed for frequent, repeat or multiple disciplinary actions, for not cooperating with the Integrity Commission or non-compliance with disciplinary measures.

Councillors must also make a verbal and signed oath of office, vowing to uphold security of the community and submit to the disciplinary action by a community Integrity Commission should they break that oath.

Kraft Heinz notices unexpected translation of its condiment TORONTO — Kraft Heinz has acknowledged an ``unfortunate translation'' of its latest buzzy condiment of pre-mixed mayonnaise-ketchup that has reached Canada.

Mayochup, which was a crowd-sourced name, can mean something entirely different in some Cree dialects, according to linguists and Cree-speakers.

Arden Ogg, director of the Cree Literacy Network, said that around the community of Moose Factory in northern Ontario, the name can be heard as ``shit face.'' ``(This) happens to match the very vulgar English idiom for extreme drunkenness, and so it begins to be used that way, at least around Moose Factory,'' said Ogg in an email.

She said mayo sounds like the Cree word ``meyiwi,'' which means feces, while the second half sounds like eye, which in parts of northern Ontario is also used to mean face.

Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said the company has heard of the translation, which has caused a stir on social media.

``We have heard about the unfortunate translation of Mayochup in Cree, and the only thing we want our consumers, whichever dialect of Cree they speak, to have on their faces this summer is our newest condiment mash-up,'' said Mullen in an email.

Mayochup hit U.S. shelves last year after a viral Twitter campaign to choose a name for the condiment, and bottles of it have arrived in Canada this month and will continue to be sold while supplies last.

The Cree translation of Mayochup was first shared on Twitter on May 16 by CBC radio host Waubgeshig Rice who cited Jonathan Solomon of Kashechewan First Nation.

Cree was reported as the most widely-spoken Indigenous language in Canada in the 2016 census with 96,575 speakers, although they are heavily concentrated in the Prairies.

Ogg said that for Cree-speakers looking to ``reclaim their language,'' this translation is a word they'll probably never forget.

OTTAWA — Federal politicians are condemning a video of an RCMP officer conducting an ``abhorrent'' interrogation of an Indigenous teen who reported she'd been sexually assaulted.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett calls the interrogation ``disgusting.''

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale calls the interrogation techniques shown in the video ``abhorrent'' and ``profoundly outdated, offensive and wrong.''

And Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he was ``shocked and horrified'' by the video, broadcast Tuesday by APTN News.

The video, shot in 2012, shows a Kelowna RCMP officer interviewing the Indigenous girl for two hours, including asking if she was ``turned on ... even a little bit'' during the al-

leged assault and questioning how hard she resisted her attacker, against whom no charges were ever laid.

The video was released recently as part of a civil suit against British Columbia's Ministry of Child and Family Development; the girl was in the care of the B.C. child-welfare system at the time of the alleged assault. ``I trust I can speak for all members of this House when I say this morning I was shocked and horrified by a recently released recording, broadcast by APTN news, of an RCMP officer questioning a young female indigenous sexual assault victim,'' Scheer told the House of Commons on Wednesday. ``Obviously, this line of questioning was appalling and insensitive to the young woman who was coming forward with her story.''

Goodale agreed that ``what was revealed in that video was absolutely abhorrent.'' ``The apparent attitudes and techniques that were

on display in 2012 are profoundly outdated, offensive and wrong,'' he said. ``The RCMP and all police forces must work continuously to conduct themselves appropriately. No survivor of sexual assault should ever fear that his or her case will not be taken seriously or that he or she will be revictimized in the process.''

Bennett called the interrogation ``totally inappropriate.'' ``I don't know where people get that kind of right to revictimize somebody. It's disgusting,'' she said outside the Commons.

Bennett added that training judges in the handling of sexual-assault cases ``is something that is becoming increasingly important as we go forward.''

Former interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose introduced a private member's bill in 2017 that would require judges to take training courses in sexual-assault law but it has been stalled in the Senate for two years.

Tribes seek ban on hunting of revered grizzly bears BILLINGS, MT — Native American leaders pressed lawmakers in Congress Wednesday to adopt permanent protections for grizzly bears, a species widely revered by tribes but that has been proposed for hunting in Wyoming and Idaho.

Proposed legislation would block grizzly hunting in the Lower 48 states, regardless of the species' population size, and allow for the reintroduction of bruins to tribal lands.

Grizzlies play a central role in the traditions and ceremonies of many tribes, said former Hopi Tribe chairman Benjamin Nuvamsa. Some Native Americans refer to them as ``Uncle'' or ``Grandfather'' and consider the animals to be healers. ``It's like the eagle; we don't shoot them because it's that sacred,'' said Nuvamsa, a member of the tribe's Hopi Bear Clan. ``It has a really, really deep meaning for us, and we have to preserve and respect it.''

But the push for permanent protections elicited sharp criticism from some Republicans as a House subcommittee took up the legislation.

The backlash stems from growing pressure by state officials in the Northern Rockies to allow hunting because of grizzly attacks on livestock and occasionally people.

The House panel's ranking Republican, California Rep. Tom McClintock, said the proposal runs counter to

the conclusions of government scientists. They say grizzlies have made significant strides toward recovery, particularly in and around Yellowstone National Park. ``The science tells us the population is fully recovered,'' McClintock said. ``This bill substitutes emotional, ideological and sentimental biases that are the polar opposite of scientific resource management.''

Montana Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte also spoke out against the bill.

He noted that grizzlies increasingly are showing up in agricultural areas where there is greater risk of run-ins.

Last fall, a federal judge in Montana blocked grizzly hunts days before they were scheduled to begin.

The ruling also restored threatened species status for about 700 bears in the three-state Yellowstone region.

An appeal filed by attorneys for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is pending before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Grizzly bears were nearly exterminated across much of the U.S. by hunting and trapping early last century. They received federal protections in 1975, and they have since slowly rebounded in portions of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.

Grizzly hunting is allowed in Alaska.

Million dollar damages in house fire

CALEDONIA — The Ontario Fire Marshall estimated damages of $1 million in a fire that destroyed a residence at Kintyre Court.

On May 15, Haldimand County Fire Services extinguished the fire and confirmed all of the occupants had safely exited the residence.

An adult female and

two children were inside at the time of the fire and were able to safely exit the residence before it spread throughout the home.

Officials believe the fire began in an attached garage before spreading to the home.

A neighbouring residence was also damaged as a result of the fire.

Notice of Public Information Centre Highway 401 Improvements from 1 km west of the Homer Watson Boulevard Interchange to 1.5 km east of the King Street Interchange – Preliminary Design, Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study (G.W.P. 3080-12-00) THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained WSP to undertake the Preliminary Design, Detailed Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements along Highway 401 from 1 km west of the Homer Watson Boulevard interchange to 1.5 km east of the King Street interchange, in the Cities of Kitchener and Cambridge, within the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, as shown in the key plan.

THE PROCESS This study is following the Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for Group “B” projects, under which EA approval for the improvements to Highway 401 and Highway 8 in an area encompassing the Grand River Bridges and King Street Interchange was obtained in 2009. This study includes portions of the 2009 EA approved plan.

Since construction has not commenced since 2009, a “five-year review” was undertaken and determined that there have been no significant changes to EA approved plan. As such, the study proceeded to Detailed Design.

The Detailed Design includes: • Replacement of the Highway 401 Grand River Bridges (eastbound and westbound) to accommodate the ultimate Highway 401 widening; • Localized widening of Highway 401 to accommodate traffic staging and the widened Grand River Bridge structures; • Rehabilitation of the King Street Overpass on Highway 401; • Reconfiguration of a portion of the King Street ramps and interchange; • Pavement reconstruction with median barrier replacement; • Storm sewer reconstruction; and • Extending the high mast lighting from Highway 8 westerly to the Homer Watson Boulevard interchange.

A Public Information Centre (PIC) has been arranged to provide adjacent property and business owners, members of the public, municipalities and other stakeholders with an opportunity to review the study process, proposed Detailed Design plans, and construction staging information. The PIC will be an informal drop-in session and representatives from the Project Team will be in attendance to answer questions and receive comments. The PIC is scheduled as follows: PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Date: June 5, 2019 Location: Conestoga College Doon Campus Residence & Conference Centre – Conference Room 99 Conestoga College Boulevard, Kitchener, ON Time: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Upon completion of the Detailed Design phase, a Design and Construction Report (DCR) will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period. The DCR will provide a description of the recommended design, construction staging, and potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures. A further notice announcing the DCR public review period will be published at that time in local newspapers, sent to persons on the project mailing list, and posted on the project website: www.Hwy401GrandRiverBridges.ca.

Indigenous teen's treatment while disclosing abuse indicative of 'pattern' OTTAWA — B.C.'s former child representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond says the ``heinous'' treatment of an Indigenous teenager during a 2012 interrogation by an RCMP officer reflects a pattern she has seen over and over.

In recent days, politicians have expressed outrage after APTN published a video of a male officer asking pointed questions of a young woman describing a sexual assault she said she experienced in the B.C. foster-care system. ``Were you at all turned on during this at all, even a little bit?'' the officer can be heard saying in the video. ``No,'' the young woman replies. ``Physically, you weren't at all responsive to his advances, even, maybe, subconsciously?'' the officer says. ``Maybe subconsciously, but no ... I was really scared,'' she says.

Upon the video's release, as a result of a current lawsuit, politicians were quick to convey outrage, including on the floor of the House of Commons.

During question period, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Wednesday that its contents were ``absolutely abhorrent'' after he was asked about it by Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer. ``The apparent attitudes and techniques that were on display in 2012 are profoundly outdated, offensive and wrong,'' said Goodale, the minister responsible for the RCMP, to applause from MPs on both sides of the House.

B.C.'s Minister of Children and Family Development Katrine Conroy said Thursday the video is ``sickening and horrible.'' ``Women, especially Indigenous women and girls, face many barriers in reporting sexual violence,'' she said in a statement. ``We must do everything possible to reduce those barriers and protect survivors of sexual violence.''

While the video may have generated shock, it is far from an isolated case, Turpel-Lafond told The Canadian Press, adding

that provincial and federal politicians know well there has been ``major difficulty'' with this issue for some time. ``The heinous way in which this young person was treated, being alone in an interrogation room, being treated as though she was a criminal, not a victim, and also the poor training, the suggestion that somehow a victim of sexualized violence is enjoying the sexualized violence, this is so fundamentally offensive but is a pattern I've seen again and again and that we need to address,'' Turpel-Lafond, now a law professor at the University of British Columbia, said in an interview.

In 2016, she produced a report showing at least 109 girls were the victims of sexualized violence while in government foster care and that 74 of them were Aboriginal. The case of the teen in the 2012 recording was among them. ``My experience has indicated to me that this has been an issue for some time and it should be known to be an issue,'' Turpel-Lafond said. ``There was a comprehensive reporting.''

Young women who face sexualized violence and then get inappropriate responses by police are less likely to get support and more likely to be preyed upon, she said, adding an effective complaints process for such treatment is sorely lacking.

Turpel-Lafond said young people being abused in foster care often can't find a way to bring it to official attention. ``We don't have an easy process for young people in care or Indigenous girls and women to bring their issues forward, to be taken seriously, to be dealt with in a rapid way,'' she said. ``It takes years and years and lawsuits.''

Policing is expected to be a major theme highlighted in the forthcoming report on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, set to be released publicly on June 3 in Gatineau, Que.

How stress can affect a child's brain continued CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

tes, depression and asthma.

A follow-up 2009 study found that adults with six or more adverse childhood experiences died nearly 20 years earlier than those with none.

Some children seem resistant to effects from toxic stress. Harvard's Nelson works with a research network based at Harvard's Center on the Developing Child that is seeking to find telltale biomarkers in kids who are affected _ in saliva, blood or hair _that could perhaps be targets for drugs or other treatment to

prevent or reduce stress-related damage.

That research is promising but results are likely years off, says Dr. Jack Shonkoff, the centre's director.

Alvin and Natalie Clarke brought their young grandchildren into their Cass City, Michigan home after their parents jailed on drug charges. The 6-year-old grandson hits, yells, breaks toys, misbehaves in school.

His 4-year-old sister used to have nightmares and recoil in fear when her baby doll was left alone on the floor _ signs her therapists say sug-

gest memories of neglect.

The Clarkes had never heard the term ``toxic stress'' when they were granted guardianship in 2015. Now it's a frequent topic in a support group they've formed for other grandparent-guardians.

Their grandson's therapists say he has PTSD and behaviour problems likely stemming from toxic stress.

Around strangers he's sometimes quiet and polite but the Clarkes say he has frequent tantrums at home and school and threatens his sister. He gets frightened at night and worries people

are coming to hurt him, Natalie Clarke said.

Weekly sessions with a trauma-focused therapist have led to small improvements in the boy. The Clarkes say he needs more help but that treatment is costly and his school isn't equipped to offer it.

The little girl has flourished with help from Early Head Start behaviour specialists who have worked with her and the Clarkes at home and school. ``Thank God she doesn't remember much of it,'' Natalie Clarke said. ``She's a happy, loving little girl now.''

Film industry report may hold solutions for cinematic diversity

The 2019 Report on Women in Canada’s Film and TV Industry found that women of colour and indigenous women are significantly under-employed, but this may change in the future.

TWO ROW TIMES

As the new Netflix release “Chambers,” hit online perusers of television shows, the show offered viewers the first indigenous female lead on a Netflix television series, ever.

The hiring of actress Sivan Alyra Rose to play the lead Samantha Yazzie, allowed the Apache actress to shine in the spotlight on “Chambers” release date on April 26. Some may believe the to be timely, while others believe it’s been a long time coming.

A 2019 report by Women found that although there has been some movement toward gender balance in Canada's film and television industry, women – especially women of colour and Indigenous women – remain significantly under-employed. It also found that the gender of the creative leader of cinematic and film projects does have a major impact on gender balance and diversity.

The study, which examined more than 5000 contracts issued between 2014 and 2017 also found that women’s creative leadership is the key that unlocks gender balance

Considering the statistics of women in cinema, Leah Rachel (left), the creator of Netflix’s Chambers is among those breaking the mould in the film industry. With her guidance, Sivan Alyra Rose (right) of Apache descent became the first indigenous actress to play a lead in a Netflix series, ever.

and greater diversity.

No indigenous women worked on any of the 24 series studied in 2017. Between 2014 and 2017, Indigenous women received only 0.69 percent, which is 22 of 3206, of contracts studied. Over four years, out of the 3206 contracts, 47 went to women of colour. In 2017, 1.81 per cent of TV contracts went to women of colour. Women of colour made up less

than 2 per cent of writers, 0 per cent of cinematographers and 5 per cent of directors. In 2017, 28 per cent of TV writing, directing and cinematography contracts went to women.

Between 2014 and 2017, the percentage of women in key creative TV roles increased by 11 per cent.

The findings in the report are sobering as women’s share of writing, directing and cinematogra-

phy work in both film and TV remains below 25 per cent. Women of colour are not experiencing the same gains as other women and worse still, over the course of the study, Indigenous women’s participation dropped from insignificant to negligible, a very troubling result. However, there is reason for optimism as well.

On TV series show-run by female directors and in

other positions of creative power, men and women work in equal numbers. As well, on TV series showrun by women of colour and Indigenous women, not only is there gender balance, but there is far greater diversity among the writers, directors and cinematographers employed. This includes films produced by women and women of colour and Indigenous women which

for prizes recognizing both published and unpublished works in a range of languages, genres and media.

Winners in each of the seven categories will receive $2,000, for a grand total of $14,000 to be awarded at a Vancouver gala on June 4.

The IVAs were established in 2017 with the support of a more than $140,000 fundraising campaign launched in response to the online furor over an editorial in Write magazine proposing there be a Canadian literary prize for cultural appropriation.

Sam McKegney, a cochair on the board of the IVAs, said from the ashes of controversy, the awards have emerged as a platform to amplify the voices of Indigenous writers across Canada's literary land-

scape. ``These are authors who are not reacting and responding. They're not speaking back to settler-colonialism,'' McKegney said in a phone interview. ``These are artists speaking with their own communities, speaking with their own families, and truly bringing forth their art in a way that is building up rather than cutting down.''

McKegney acknowledged that the IVAs, whose funds are now held by the Ontario Arts Foundation, have tightened their prize budget with an eye towards sustainability after doling out $25,000 in honours at last year's inaugural event.

But the size of the cheques will have little bearing on the doors the awards can open for Indigenous creators, who

will have opportunities to connect with established writers, literary agents and other cultural tastemakers, said McKegney. ``What we're seeking is opportunities for people to have their voices heard,'' he said. ``Part of the strength of the prizes thus far has been to create community among Indigenous writers.''

For some finalists, an IVAs nod can be a first step on the path to publication, he said.

As an example, McKegney pointed to one of last year's unpublished winners, Smokii Sumac, whose debut collection, ``You are Enough: Love Poems for the End of the World'' (Kegedonce Press) has been shortlisted for English-language published poetry. Rounding

out the category are Wanda John-Kehewin's ``Seven Sacred Truths'' (Talonbooks) and Jules Koostachin's ``Unearthing Secrets, Gathering Truths'' (Kegedonce Press).

Finalists for published works in French are Josephine Bacon's ``Uiesh, Quelque Part'' (Memoire d'encrier) and Pierrot Ross-Tremblay's ``Nipimanitu _ L'esprit de l'eau'' (Prise de parole).

Francine Merasty's ``Iskotew Iskwew'' is the sole contender for this year's prize for works in an Indigenous language.

The IVAs also highlight non-traditional types of storytelling with a category for works in an alternative format, which this year includes Mich Cota's opera ``Wasakozi'' and the graphic novel ``Surviving the City'' (HighWater Press) by

showed a similar effect.

Increasing the number of women in creative leadership positions is a straightforward strategy that can yield results quickly.

This can be seen with the creator of Netflix’s “Chambers,” as Leah Rachel was relatively unknown in the entertainment world, but once being given the opportunity to present a story that has captivated audiences into hoping for a second season, she broke the mould with her inspiration for the show.

While another reason for optimism is that many organizations and individuals are striving to make change. Telefilm and CMF have made public measurable commitments to gender parity since Women in View’s last report. Telefilm also made specific commitments to Indigenous filmmakers. The results of these funder-initiatives are not reflected in this report but will be evident starting in the 2018 production year. The effects of the CBC commitment to gender parity can be seen in the dramatic increase of women directors hired. The 15 per cent growth between 2016 and 2017 demonstrates that public commitments are very effective.

Call for submissions to traffic box public art competition

By TRT Staff HAMILTON — The local developers of the Downtown Hamilton Public Art Reserve is searching for artists to paint and reanimate downtown utility boxes in a $90,000 project that comes in the form of a competition.

Commonly covered in graffiti art and tag names, the city wants to turn its downtown traffic boxes into public art, by asking young emerging artists for art on 32 traffic boxes with each artists being

awarded $650 if their work is installed.

A signal box is usually plain black or grey in colour and located on the ground at every intersection that is controlled by signal lights. The boxes are 1.5 metres high, 0.84 metres wide and a half-metre deep. As well, the city is looking for an established artist to design art for five larger electrical boxes in the downtown core, and the successful artist will receive $4,000 for their work.

Judging and choosing the winning submissions will be a citizen jury that includes artists, downtown stakeholders and youth that have an eye for colour and beauty.

Submissions for the competition are due by 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 20. While the deadline for submissions for the series of electrical boxes is 3 p.m. on June 11.

It has been said that wraps for the boxes could be installed as early as August of this year.

Application to host Indigenous Summer Games withdrawn CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

COBOURG — The last Ontario Indigenous Summer Games took place in 2016 within Six Nations of the Grand River, with thirty-five percent of the participants from Northern Ontario.

A repeat of the success of the 2016 games was hoped to take place with the Alderville First Nation and the County Council of Cobourg, but with summer fast approaching the hopes are slim.

In September 2018, County Council approved a joint submission with the Alderville First Nation to host the 2019 Ontario Indigenous Summer Games and the applications were submitted to the Aboriginal Sport & Wellness Council of Ontario (ASWCO) by the deadline date of September 28, 2018.

Applicants were to be advised of their success, or otherwise, by November 2018 — but notifications have not happened.

The ASWCO web site says: “The bid process is now closed, and the Ontario Indigenous Summer Games Bid Committee is currently in the process of conducting site visits and scoring communities on the bid matrix.”

Thus, the County and Alderville First Nation have withdrawn their application since the timeline to prepare is now insufficient.

The cost of staging the

games would have been $250,000 with $100,000 coming from the Provincial Government, some from a $125 fee paid by athletes and the rest from the County budget.

The visiting athletes and tourists openings would benefit not only the hosting first nation but also the Cobourg and Port Hope area.

This years games would have featured “300 – 500 young Indigenous athletes of all abilities, from across the province, to compete in the following sports including swimming, wrestling, 3D archery, athletics, badminton, canoeing and kayaking, rifle shooting, golfing and softball.

In withdrawing their application, County staff said in a report to the County Council at the next meeting on January, 30, that with the compressed timelines, there would be a risk of lost deposits and, or unavailable accommodation space, a problem getting organized with volunteers in the time available and the possibility of a reduced schedule of activities due to venue and sporting official availability. It was felt that a quality event can no longer be assured, hence the decision to withdraw.\ It had been hoped that the County could repeat the success of the Ontario ParaSport Games in 2014 since “county staff who led this process are either now leading the Ontario Indigenous Summer Games bid process, or have been consulted for their input.”

Arrows home-opener also an eye-opener CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The Arrows have come through with a largely new roster this season. After their exhibition loss to the Toronto Beaches on Sunday, May 12, the Arrows ventured to Northmen territory in Orangeville to play their first regular season match on Friday, May 17.

The first period allowed no Arrows goals while the Northmen racked up four including a power play bury.

Making adjustments during break time however, allowed new Arrows Captain Ron John to score a minute into the second period from Tyler Davis. John then scored his second from veteran Liam LeClair after an answer from the Northmen. The Northmen scored again deeper into the period and this was answered by a shorthanded goal

by Wake:riat Bowhunter from Travis Longboat.

SIX NATIONS — The Arrows have come through with a largely new roster this season, with only a handful of veterans including Tehoka Nanticoke, Travis Longboat and Liam Leclair.

This brought the third, where again the Northmen racked up unanswered goals. Five goals went to the Arrows opponents, but Travis Longboat was able to close the period with a goal from Hadowas Smith.

This finalized the game 11-4.

Entering their home-opener this Friday however, found the Iroquois La-crosse Arena packed with home support.

letics, where the footing seemed more equal but the Arrows were missing out on scoring power and defensive experience.

However, with the first period being their best, the Arrows first goal of the game went to Jeremy Bomberry from Sam Gowland. The Athletics returned it, but Marshall Powless earned a power play bury minutes lat-er.

A penalty on the Arrows allowed a power play goal for the Athletics and another bury, but Oliver Bolsterli put in an effort for an unassisted bury in response.

This opened the second period 3-3, but the Arrows provided a full twenty minutes without a goal as they were unable to connect with one another.

This gave the Athletics a four point lead by the end.

Coming into the third gave the Arrows an opportunity to eat at the lead. Changes were made on the floor that produced two more goals, as Ar-

rows coaches gave more instruction on the Arrows defensive side. Re-gaining possession by fighting fervently for it in the corners allowed for a couple of quick transitional shots on offence.

This gave Liam Leclair his first from Oliver Bolsterli, while Travis Longboat buried from Marshall Powless.

This finalized the game 9-5 for the Athletics, but served as a light of im-provement for the Arrows from their previous early season matches.

As the team is full of newer athletes to ‘A’, their steps into the division through their first games will hopefully set up the ground work for the makings of another string of strong players to come out of lacrosse on Six Nations.

Their next home game will take place on Sunday May 26 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena against the Brampton Excelsiors.

Eleventh win for Rebels CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — This past weekend, the Rebels earned victories in game 10 and 11 while at home and away.

On Friday they hosted the Wallaceburg Red Devils at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

The first period gave way to goals for the Rebels by Chayton King and Sidney Powless, but both were answered by the Red Devils come the end of the twenty minutes.

This opened the second period with a tie but the

ney Powless both earned goals minutes a part.

Later on, Jesse Longboat and Tycie Cowan earned singles while Marshall Powless earned his second of the game.

Following a single goal for the Red Devils were goals by Dawit Martin and Sidney Powless to end the period.

The second period allowed the Red Devils to return twice, but Weylon Abrams earned his first while Chayton King, Dawit Martin and Tycie Cowan earned their second goals each and Marhall Powless

finished with a hat-trick.

This ended the match 14-5 for the Rebels, who then went to visit the Guelph Regals on Sunday.

The Regals earned the first goal of the game, but this was followed by two consecutive buries from Sidney Powless to close the period.

Coming into the second, Sidney Poles buried two more for a hat-trick and then some, whole the Regals could muster just two returns. Tycie Cowan then came in with a bury, followed b Chayton King and Colby Martin with singles.

This opened the period 7-3 for the Rebels, as the Regals earned two consecutives before Sidney Poles went for his fifth goal of the game. The game closed after another goal

by Tayton Skye, unassisted, at 9-5 for the Rebels.

Their momentum will likely carry to the end of the season and their next home game will welcome the St. Catharines Spartans to the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena at 8 p.m., Friday, May 24.

Rivermen lose first game to Titans CHEZNEY MARTIN

HAGERSVILLE — Last Friday, the Six Nations Rivermen hosted the Oakville Titans at the Hagersville Arena for their fourth regular season game.

Last year the Titans missed out on a bronze Presidents Cup medal, but pushed the Rivermen out of the running. This made their match an anticipated one as the arena filled with local spectators.

The first period opened with a goal for the Titans but was quickly answered

by Zed Williams from Greg Longboat Jr.. The Titans buried two more and a goal by Kyle Isaacs from Leland Poles ended the period.

This opened the second

HAGERSVILLE — Hosting the Oakville Titans last Friday attracted a large crowd to support the Six Nations Rivermen at the Hagersville Arena. Although walking away with a loss, the ongoing rivalry between the two top teams in the league is expected to continue to give the Rivermen a good go.

period, which allowed the Rivermen to bury twice more with Zed Williams

earning his second and Haneh Brant earning his first. By the end of the pe-

riod the Titans answered once, giving a 4-4 tie for the third.

While poor passes were taken advantage of by the Titans, the Rivermen

defence allowed cuts to the inside. Thus, the third gave the Titans their highest scoring period as four consecutive goals connected on Rivermen tender Warren Hill.

The Rivermen seemed to lose steam and wasted shot opportunities with several far outside shots, rather than using the time to work to get inside.

A goal was taken back for crease violation, but Wayne Hill recovered with a bury from Gates Abrams and Jake Bomberry.

This finalized the match 6-8 for the Titans, but preluded to the oncoming competition between the two rivalling teams in the future.

Their next home game will host the Brooklin Merchants on Saturday, June 1 at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

Amateur boxing coming to the Gathering Place CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Bell City Boxing Club will be hosting it’s first club show for 2019 on Saturday, May 25 at the Gathering Place by the Grand.

The event will feature boxers from across Canada and the USA, including

locals from the Williams family and Josh Miller.

Skyler Williams said that he’s just “excited to have the fight card come to Six Nations,” as he noted that he estimates that is has been 30 years since the last amateur boxing card visited the area.

“We’re going to have a dry event at the Gathering Place,” said Skyler Williams. “We’re bringing that

back to Six and making sure that it becomes as big of a spectacle as we can make it.”

He explained that the event will have a respectful atmosphere and will hold sportsmanship high as visiting fighters will be coming from other first nations as well.

“We’re going to [have the thanksgiving address performed] and a bit of

ceremony where we will have the passing of gifts at the start of the event,” he said. “We have a fight team from the Red Tribe Reservation in Nova Scotia with six fighters on the card attending — one of them will be fighting Josh.”

This makes the event a hosting of other nations of sorts, and Skylar said that the group from Nova Scotia will be making their amateur debut, while he himself will be having a bout with a fighter from Toronto.

“We have two other fighters from our gym that will be fighting too,” he said. “Five of them are all from Six Nations.”

Of the five also includes Lola Williams, who fought her coming opponent twice before, with each of them earning a win.

“I’m excited, it’s gonna

be good” she said.

Just last November, Lola was given a unanimous win against an opponent that was older than her and outweighed her by 10 pounds.

“I started [training] about a year and a half ago,” she said, as for this particular bout she has been preparing for for six months.

Brody Williams, on the other hand, who has been training for two years said that training for him started as a way to get in shape.

“I had some fun and then it just kind of turned into a love for the sport and I made some friends,” said Brody.

He explained that he did sustain an injury, but took time off to heal and will be ready to go come next Saturday. As for being

able to fight on home soil, Brody said it’s “gonna be fun.”

“It’s exciting, my family is going to come out and it’s gonna be a lot of fun,” he said.

While Miller of the five from Six Nations has been sparring with the likes of Skyler and Karl Hess as practice before his amateur debut.

“This is my first fight and I’ve been training for a bit over a year, so I feel more than ready,” said Miller. “I’m not really trying to think about it too much, I’m just trying to train and come ready.”

The event is hoped to have music, food and a great showing of athleticism. General admission will be $20, and for information and tickets contact Bell City Boxing at 519-757-7889.

“On behalf of A6N, we would like to personally thank the community members for participating in our first community awareness event – Touch a Truck.

New B.C. museum policy for return of Indigenous remains, artifacts VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Letters to Scotland sent by a woman from the small settlement of Victoria around 1850 gave Dianne Hinkley more insight into why the bones of her ancestors may be spread around the world.

One of the letters says that ``skulls were all the rage'' in the new community, Hinkley said. ``It was all the fashion that you had to have a skull on your mantel piece,'' Hinkley recalls the letter saying.

The woman's letter said she found the remains on rock piles that were all over the place and that she ``would try to get them a couple of skulls, so they can have them in their house for fashion as well,'' Hinkley said.

Those rock piles were actually burial cairns and the pilfering is one of the many reasons why Hinkley has found Cowichan artifacts and remains from Russia to the United Kingdom and from Israel to South Africa.

That search has been helped with a repatriation grant from the Royal B.C. Museum, which recently changed its policies to no longer collect or study ancestral remains.

The museum has also announced that anything it acquired from Indig-

enous Peoples during the anti-potlatch years, from 1885 to 1951, will be considered eligible for repatriation because it was obtained at a time of duress.

During those years, the federal government banned potlatch ceremonies, which were important social events where valuable gifts were given to show generosity and status over rivals. The government saw the events as anti-Christian and a waste of personal property.

Lou-Ann Neel, the repatriation specialists for the Royal B.C. Museum, said by the time the ban was lifted, much Indigenous wealth had been lost. ``Our regalia was gone, our masks were gone, some of them were burnt by missionaries, some of them were just taken and confiscated. So you can't hold a potlatch without these treasures,'' said Neel, who is part of the Mamalilikulla and Kwagiulth people in Alert Bay, B.C. Neel said the loss of their belongings started with the colonial belief that Indigenous people were endangered and dying out. ``That really sparked a collecting frenzy, that sent out people: anthropologists, military, adven-

turers or self-proclaimed pioneers. (They) just felt like they had permission because the general sense across Canada and the U.S. was that 'Indians' would soon been gone.''

Hinkley said her research shows that between 1870 and 1930 museums were popping up around the world and they needed something to display.

She said collectors from around the world would land in the villages and buy or take anything they could. ``Their bodies, the skeletal remains and all of that was sold to museums,'' she said. ``There must have been essentially very little

cultural materials left in those villages. They took everything, they took cedar woven maps that hung on the walls, they took knitting needles, everything, fish hooks, you name it, they collected it.''

Hinkley said the change in the museum's policy is ``huge'' because it allows Indigenous people in the province to find more information about their artifacts. She said some museums, especially those in the United Kingdom, refuse to even speak with them about the artifacts.

The Royal B.C. Museum distributed more than $580,000 in repatriation grants last year to First Nations, helping them begin

the process of finding and acquiring their ancestors' remains and artifacts. It has also written the Indigenous Repatriation Handbook to help as a guide.

The museum has about 700 ancestral remains.

Neel said most of them were handed over to the museum through development when roads or homes were under construction and the bones were unearthed.

Because the museum is no longer a repository for remains, she said they'll be searching through the records to determine where the bones were found and will ask First Nations what they want to do with their ancestors' remains.

to as Y.Z. in commission documents, and said no decision has been made on a possible appeal.

The mechanic filed the complaint with the human rights commission over 12 years ago, in July 2006, saying he suffered from trauma due to the hostile workplace.

In her 2018 ruling, Connors said the complainant had been frightened and terrorized.

Allegations in the case included a message scrawled on the men's bathroom wall, which said ``all minorities not welcome; show you care, burn a cross.'' It was signed by ``a member of the Baby Hitler.''

The co-worker is also quoted as allegedly saying ``racism should be a law that you can shoot somebody and get away with it.''

In Wednesday's ruling, Connors awarded $105,650

in general damages and pre-judgment interest to the mechanic and $33,015 to his wife, whom she said had testified ``to the significant impact this matter has had on her.''

Penalties were also set at $21,675 for the cost of future care for the mechanic and $433,077 for his past and future lost income, based on a retirement at age 60.

However, both figures were arrived at after a 50 per cent reduction imposed

by Connors, who found that some of the complainant's health issues were not linked to the acts of wrongful discrimination but to the death of a friend and a denial of long term disability benefits. ``(The municipality) cannot be held responsible for the impact of those events on Y.Z. Further, Y.Z. also had some other health issues,

``It's the right thing to do and the right way to do it.''

The B.C. museum has about 15,000 Indigenous artifacts, and Neel said a portion of those would have been taken during the potlatch years. They are starting the task of looking at every object to determine how it came to the museum, she said.

Neel said Indigenous communities are excited about the prospect of having their ancestors and ancient treasures returned. ``There are obviously things in the collection that were purchased legitimately, there's a paper trail for them and those things really do legitimately belong to the museum collection. ``What the committee did was take a close look and said really what we're concerned about are the things that were not acquired in the best of times. Some communities were still very much under duress, even after the potlatch ban was dropped.''

For the Cowichan, Hinkley said the other challenge is they don't have anywhere to bring their treasures home. But she said the repatriation negotiations tend to drag and that will give them time to get their museum ready.

Halifax to pay former staffer almost $600,000 for co worker's racism

HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Halifax Regional Municipality has been ordered to pay almost $600,000 in damages to a former city bus mechanic who suffered racist discrimination on the job.

The man, whose name is protected by a publication ban, was awarded $593,417 in a decision released Wednesday by Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission board of inquiry chair Lynn Connors.

Last year, Connors found widespread racial discrimination and a poisoned work environment at Halifax Transit's garage. ``It is my hope that the monetary award will send a clear message to (the municipality)and its supervisors of what their legal obligations are under the Human Rights Act to investigate and address potential violations,'' Connors wrote.

The complainant is

white, but his wife is African Nova Scotian, and black and Indigenous co-workers also suffered under the actions of a former co-worker.

Bruce Evans, the mechanic's lawyer, had sought the maximum amount awarded under Canadian law for general damages, $367,000, and another $1.053 million in lost earnings and pension.

Evans had also sought a public interest remedy in the form of a 50-year

target for municipal hirings of 25 per cent ``non-white Caucasian employees,'' but Connors rejected the idea. ``I do not have jurisdiction to make such an order,'' said Connors. ``Further such an order does not address diversity issues for individuals who possess other protected characteristics.''

Evans declined comment on the ruling, saying he needed to review it with his client, who is referred

which are documented in the medical reports, which may have contributed as well, to his inability to work, such as recurring back pain and gastrointestinal issues.''

In a statement, Jacques Dube, the municipality's chief administrative officer, said it accepts the damages decision. ``In May of 2018, the municipality accepted the decision of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Board of Inquiry regarding its finding of racial harassment and discrimination by management and co-workers against a transit employee,'' Dube said. ``I again take this opportunity to apologize to the complainant and family.''

Dube said Halifax is ``unwavering in our commitment to continually do better.''
