Six Nations says Liberal fight against compensation for First Nations children a “step backwards”

By Nahnda Garlow with CP files OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council issued a statement Monday, reacting to the Liberal government’s announcement they were appealing a decision by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal that ordered Ottawa to pay billions of dollars in compensation to First Nations children and families who were victims of wilful underfunding while in the child-welfare system.

"After twelve years of costly legal action, the decision to appeal the CHRT decision sends a clear message that reconciliation is not a priority for the Liberal government.

This action is, in fact, a step backward, creating further non-confidence in the ability to develop a renewed relationship with the Canadian government, based on basic human rights and decency,” says the statement issued by SNEC. The case tracks all the way back to 2007, when

“The health and welfare of our children and family are at the heart of wellness for our community and this continued degradation by the Canadian government is not acceptable nor will it continued to be tolerated,” said SNEC.

advocate Cindy Blackstock and the First Nations and Family Caring Society filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission against the federal government for failing to provide equitable care to indigenous children in the child-wel-

fare system. Nine years later, in 2016, the tribunal ruled the discrimination was wilful on Canada’s part. On September 5, 2019 CHRT ordered the maximum amount of compensation be paid to families and victims of the discrimination. Just one

month later, on October 4, Trudeau’s Attorney General of Canada filed an appeal.

“The health and welfare of our children and family are at the heart of wellness for our community and this continued degradation by the

Canadian government is not acceptable nor will it continued to be tolerated,” said SNEC. Six Nations Elected Council is taking a hard line with the federal government to take reconciliatory action including: immediately

ceasing discriminatory funding and developing a plan in consultation with First Nations to end all inequalities that inhibit the healthy development of First Nations children.

They are also insisting Ottawa conduct an evaluation on programs providing service to First Nations children to identify ongoing discriminatory ideologies, policies, and practices, and work to end them. And are seeking federal changes that would require all public servant employees to attend training that will support the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls To Action. ``This is beyond unacceptable. The government of Canada is once again preparing to fight First Nations children in court,'' National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde said in a statement Friday. ``The government could have addressed the broken system and CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

Liberals take "step backwards" continued the funding inequalities before, but they didn't. To appeal this CHRT ruling, which was meant to provide a measure of justice for First Nations children in care, is hurtful and unjust.''

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs issued its own statement. ``AMC is outraged by the actions of the Trudeau government today,'' said Grand Chief Arlen Dumas. ``The decision today speaks to the lack of concern the federal government has for the children and families who have been harmed by a broken child-welfare system that's been imposed on them.''

On Friday, Ottawa asked the Federal Court to review the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's September ruling, which found the federal government ``wilfully and recklessly'' discriminated against Indigenous children living on-reserve by not properly funding child and family services.

Off-reserve children,

covered by provincial agencies, typically had more resources devoted to them.

The result was a mass removal of Indigenous children from their parents, for years, in a system Indigenous leaders say had more First Nations kids living in foster care than at the height of the residential-schools era.

The decision to challenge the ruling comes three days before the Oct. 7 deadline to file an appeal.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he agrees with many of the tribunal's findings, including that victims should be compensated, but that more time is needed for consultation than the tribunal's Dec. 10 deadline allows. ``We need to have conversations with partners, we need to have conversations with communities, with leaders to make sure we're getting that compensation right,'' Trudeau told reporters, campaigning for re-election in

Quebec. ``Government can't be having those discussions because we're in a writ period. Therefore we need time to be able to do that and get it right, because Canadians expect us to get it right and Indigenous Peoples expect us to get it right.''

More than three years ago, the tribunal ruled there was clear discrimination by the federal government against kids living on reserves who needed help from child welfare agencies. Ottawa, the tribunal said, didn't ensure services available to on-reserve children were funded at anywhere near the same levels as provincially funded services available off-reserve.

The tribunal put off a decision on compensation at that time.

Its final ruling awards $40,000 for each child unnecessarily taken away from his or her family since Jan. 1, 2006 and another $40,000 for each of their parents or grandparents. Similar amounts

BRANTFORD’S ONLY SAME DAY SERVICE

should go to children abused in foster care, and children on- and off-reserve who were taken into care because they couldn't access services there, including mental-health supports, suicide prevention and basic medical devices, the tribunal ruling states.

The Assembly of First Nations estimates the number of children involved at around 54,000, bringing the minimum compensation bill to $2.1 billion. If all of their parents also get compensation, that number would rise.

The final amount awarded could be as much as $8 billion, according to a Liberal source.

Indigenous children make up more than half of children in foster care in Canada, even though they are just seven per cent of all children under the age of 15. In some provinces, as many as 90 per cent of kids in care are First Nations, Metis or Inuit.

Centennial anniversary of Prince of Wales becoming condoled Mohawk chief His Royal Highness third member of British royal family to recieve traditional title STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — This weekend marked the centennial commemoration of HRH Edward, Prince of Wales visit to Brantford and the Mohawk Chapel.

It was the year 1919 when the hereditary chiefs of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy condoled the soon to be King of England in a traditional ceremony held before a crowd of thousands in the heart of Brantford at Victoria Park.

Thousands gathered in Brantford’s Victoria Park to watch Six Nations hereditary chiefs officiate a ceremony granting an Ongwehonwe name, chiefs title and seat to the soon-to-be King of England, PHOTO : ARCHIVES CANADA HRH Edward, Prince of Wales in 1919.

The hereditary chiefs of Six Nations introduced Prince Edward to war veterans surviving family members and then led the royal through a traditional ceremony naming him Dayonhemseia, “Dawn of the Day” — and a condoled chief of the Mohawk Turtle clan. Secretary of the Six Nations Confederacy Council, Chief Asa R. Hill then gave an official address, pledging allegiance to the

British Crown saying, “We will defend the King and Empire with our lives.”

Prince Edward, who famously abdicated the throne in 1936, was not the only member of the Victorian-era Houses of Windor and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to be made a Mohawk chief within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

According to history, during that 1919 visit the Six Nations people also

gave a traditional title to the wife of then-reigning HRH King George V. The Queen Consort, Mary of Teck was adopted and given a traditional Haudenosaunee name by the people of Six Nations— Tanonrohnkiva, or “great great woman, mother of love.”

In her essay, “A Royal Mohawk Chief” by E. Pauline Johnson, history recalls the very first condolence ceremony of a British royal to be made a Mohawk chief—

Edward’s uncle, HRH Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, in 1869.

His title, "Kavakoudge," which means "the sun flying from East to West under the guidance of the Great Spirit”, was given during a ceremony at the Mohawk Chapel.

Following The Prince of Wales condolence ceremony in 1919 — Six Nations eldest resident, Catharine Silver, presented His Royal Highness with a handmade pin of silver coins, as was tradition to exchange silver gifts as a mark of the alliance between the British

and Haudenosaunee.

During her presentation Silver said, “my great, great grandfather saved King George III from Washington. That is why we are British.”

Built in 1785, the Mohawk Chapel was given to Joseph Brant's following of "Mohawks and such others", who were at the time wilful believers in the Christian faith, for their allegiance to the British Crown in the American Revolution. It is one of just six royal chapels outside of the United Kingdom.

The first British royal to be ceremonially given an Ongwehonwe name, title and seat among the Haudenosaunee was Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn in 1869. PHOTO: WIKIPEDIA

2019 AGH Film Festival

By TRT Staff

The arrival of fall has brought with it Film Festival season and this includes the opening of the AGH Film Festival.

In just the first ten years, the festival welcomed over 50,000 film lovers to more than 300 films.

This year, the festival will be screening over 100 films in 18 languages from 24 countries this month from October 17-27 while making use of various venues within the city.

So why visit a film festival?

Film festivals are a vital link in the chain of global film culture. They offer a sense of community with shared and unique experiences and the event itself provides a platform that allows the films — along with their point of views and ideas — and people to meet. They also allow the captured message to reach a desired audience, which is you!

Each festival is unique and this years AGH Festival has much to offer.

For the first time in AGH Festival history, the festival will be featuring films that have reached gender parity, with women directing over 53% of the films in this years program– an achievement very few festivals reach.

The festival is also Hamilton’s largest festival of international, independent and Canadian film.

The films will be featured specifically in the Playhouse Cinema, Westdale Theatre, Cineplex Cinemas Ancaster,

5

Lincoln Alexander Centre and none other than the Art Gallery of Hamilton itself explained AGH Film Curator Ryan Ferguson.

So what else makes the AGH Film Festival great?

Ferguson said that it’s a closer trek than Toronto for film lovers.

“It’s closer to home,” said Ferguson.

“Our programming is based around the same types of films that you would see at TIFF, at Sundance and all of the biggest film festivals held during this time of the year,” he said.

This includes roughly 25-30 films that appeared at TIFF. But Ferguson included that the event will also host indigenous content.

He listed ‘Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger,’ which is a film that documents the story of a young boy forced to spend all five years of his short life in hospital while the federal and provincial governments argued over which was responsible for his care, as well as the long struggle of Indigenous activists to force the Canadian government to enforce “Jordan’s Principle” — the promise that no First Nations children would experience inequitable access to government-funded services again. This is Alanis Obomsawin’s remarkable 53rd film.

He also listed ‘The Incredible 25th Year of Mitzi Bearclaw,’ which is Six Nations own Shelley Niro’s feature film that made its world premier earlier this year with AGO. The film tells the story of Bearclaw’s shift from life in an urban area to her return to Owl Island, a fictional reserve, to help her father William care for her mother.

He then listed ‘nîpawistamâsowin: We Will Stand Up,’ a documentary

by Filmmaker Tasha Hubbard that chronicles the traumatic and unjust story of Colten Boushie, a young Cree man from Saskatchewan who was shot and killed in 2016 on a farmer’s property. Ferguson noted that the film won Best Canadian Documentary: 2019 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, and the screening will bring a special guest.

“It’s a powerful film and Jade [Tootoosis], who is Colten Boushie’s cousin, is being flown in for the screening,” he said. “This is her story, this is her family’s story.

She’s spoken to the United Nations, to the Supreme Court of Canada, our Prime Minister, so to be able to have her in attendance is pretty exceptional,” he said. “We’re pretty excited that she is able to come.”

Another guest to make an appearance will be Gary Farmer, a long-time actor from Six Nations, who is also scheduled to attend the screening of two films that he starred in. This includes a restored 20th anniversary edition of the 1999 film called “Heater,” and another film titled “Dead Man” which is a film he performed in alongside Johnny Depp in 1995. Ferguson explained that his appearance at the screenings lead up to Farmers recognition to come from the Dreamcatcher foundation for his work in coming weeks.

The tickets for each screening are $12 and are now available online and at the Festival Box Office located at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. For AGH Members the early bird ticket price from September 27 to October 11 is $10 per screening ticket.

Election season is upon us It is bound to be an exciting fall for those interested in politics. Internationally we are about to watch a historic first as US President Donald Trump is about to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Canada’s federal election is full steam ahead with elections in just two weeks — marking one of the shortest campaign period’s in the country’s history. And locally — Six Nations will appoint a new elected leader and for the first time in our history — discard the gerrymander-

ing construct of districts and rely on popular vote to put in 9 councillors, down from 12. Even just writing all of that out was tiring.

Two Row Times is excited about all of the room for discussions that the local election will bring and we are looking for excellent members of the Six Nations community to participate in drafting questions for a survey that will be delivered to candidates for Six Nation Elected Chief and Council.

All members will be given equal space to respond to

questions so the people of Six Nations can read for themselves and decide who to vote for.

If you are interested in submitting questions and becoming part of our community panel, send an email to editor@tworowtimes.com or call in 519900-5535 and have your name added to the list.

All candidates are also invited to submit their contact information to the above email address for inclusion in TRTs upcoming special Decision 2019 Elections Issue. This will

be your opportunity to have your voice heard by our audience across the province and share why you want to help lead the Six Nations community, and your vision for a brighter community future.

Additionally, we are always interested in hearing indigenous perspectives on politics. If you are a candidate and are interested in submitting a political opinion story to the Two Row Times for consideration — send an email to editor@tworowtimes.com.

Feature Column: Thunder Woman Speaks

Canada Misunderstands the First Nation Treaty relationship

By Rachel Snow Justin Trudeau continues to run his campaign on the false promises of repairing the relationship that exists between the original people and the greedy newcomers.

Since the time of Pierre Eliot Trudeau, Justin’s father, there has been a concerted policy effort to undermine the sovereignty of the original First Nation people here in this stolen land called Canada.

This policy effort has been the underlying sickness that has infected the colonial mind for 500 years. This policy or thinking has surfaced in legislation and in tests that are applied in the courts where they establishment of land “title” or rights is squarely put on the original people to prove.

There are differences in the two nations that agreed to share this land.

One distinct difference is that there is a belief in the Creator and a way of keeping the history alive in language and ceremony so that the oral traditions form the basis for record keeping and continuity.

This unfortunately is not measurable in a whiteman made system where there must be documentation of facts.

Fact: There were no

white men or people on Turtle Island 500 plus years ago.

Fact: The original settlers and explorers were part of hierarchical systems that believed in the hierarchy of men.

Fact: There was no initial clash at the initial meeting of two nations because the original people were welcoming, inclusive and helped the settlers survive.

The premise that forms the original treaty basis is simple; there would be a sharing of land and resources with both nations going forward without disturbing the autonomy or sovereignty of the other nation.

The original treaties according to the stories and oral history were that our people would go on with the same lifestyle and control that they exercised since time immemorial.

There was no suggestion of subjugation or assimilation.

Unfortunately, this was not what happened for the original people. Upon the signing of treaties 1-11, the British Crown expected that the Canadian crown would deal fairly with the first peoples.

From the Royal Proclamation in 1763, there is an understanding that the land “belongs” to the original people who were

here when Britain or any other European nations stumbled into the western hemisphere.

Therefore, British law contained in the Royal Proclamation along with the British North America Act remains the foundation for Canada.

Canada has been asked to produce a bill of sale to prove “ownership” of this land called Canada at the United Nations level and has failed to do so.

So an international higher than a contractual obligation exists between the Indigenous nations and Canada as the successor state. Canada is the successor state that benefits from the agreement made between Britain and the original nations.

This is why the Treaties remain important for the original people. But the Treaties also formed Canada so Canada has a duty and obligation to uphold the original promises because without the Treaties, they would not exist.

Our own indigenous people have to understand this treaty relationship.

The Creator has given us a way of life, our languages, ceremonies, songs and teachings to uphold, as the original people of Turtle Island. The Creator entrusted our people with the safekeeping of the land, the waters and all

Creation. We are Treaty people sharing the land, but we are also upholding our original obligations that we have held in our hearts, minds and blood memory.

Therefore within the current structure that exists in Canada today reconciliation must bring together the protection of land with an economic thinking capitalist society that seeks to destroy the land. Is reconciliation possible?

Each political party prepping for the 2019 Canadian election, is speaking about the importance of people. They put human beings ahead of the land, water, environment and climate which is not the way of the original people. The original people believe they are equal to their environment.

They acknowledge the Creator, the land, waters, plants and animals because they understand the relationship that exists is one of mutual respect and survival.

Now what current political parties are acknowledging the importance of this relationship? Canada speaks of mutually created policies or legislation but how is this mutual when there is opposition in what the two worldviews value?

Each political party is

talking about what they think Canadians want to hear as Indigenous issues.

They speak at or about the Indigenous without having had any indigenous instruction in the heart of our own communities, instead listening to those indigenous who are willing to play tokenized Indian and play within the system that undermines who we are as true Indigenous people.

This continues to be the problem. From the European explorers who came and saw an “empty land” with savages without Christianity, how far have we progressed? The non first nations still believe that the Indigenous will truly benefit from becoming “Canadian”; we are referred to as Canada’s indigenous. Can a settler state own a sovereign people?

The settler parties look at colonized boxed thinking in their assessments or promises for the Indigenous people. They talk about statistics and “bettering” the existing Indigenous situation without taking responsibility for the harms.

The settler parties point fingers at one another and play up what they think Indigenous people want to hear and what the non-native people are willing to “accommodate”.

How is this a solution?

How many of these political leaders are actively campaigning on indigenous reserves? They are not. And why is this? It is because the Indigenous are an “afterthought” for mainstream Canadians.

It is also because the Indigenous should not be participating in the Canadian election, because we are not an ethnic minority or domestic dependent nation.

We are the original nations that always existed on this land. We are the signatory nations that created this country. It is like the voters for a whole province voting for the mayor of a small town.

Why go from the higher stance and lessen your position?

For now, watch how the federal election party leaders argue about Indigenous policy. How many of these leaders speak and know the concerns of the grassroots or the spirit and intent of Treaty?

Trudeau and his contemporaries continue to plan what the relationship will look like, without ever having had an understanding why this country exists. That is what these leaders should be discussing.

Indigenous justice and reconciliation barely on the radar this Canadian election

By Jean-Francois Savard and Mathieu Landriault The relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canadians seems to have captured the public's attention over the past four years, particularly following the release of the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as well as the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Justin Trudeau's government has also ostensibly prioritized these issues, with the prime minister asserting: ``No relationship is more important to me and to Canada than the one with Indigenous Peoples.''

But has there been attention paid to Indigenous issues by party candidates during the current

election campaign? More specifically, will Canada's relationship with Indigenous Peoples be treated as a matter of national interest, or will most of the attention come from ridings with a significant proportion of Indigenous voters?

According to our mid-campaign analysis, it's fair to conclude that most settler candidates aren't considering the relationship important.

Our research aggregates tweets written by 735 candidates from five political parties (Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green and Bloc Quebecois) on Twitter.

At mid-campaign, of the 28,338 tweets by these candidates, only two per cent of them made reference to Indigenous issues.

And although reconciliation was the focal point of

the Trudeau government's Indigenous policy, it only ranks 11th among the most discussed topics, far behind issues such as water, climate and housing.

Finland agrees to return Native American remains to tribes CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — The ancestral remains of Native American tribes that once called the cliffs of Mesa Verde National Park home will be repatriated as part of an agreement between Finland and the United States.

The White House on Wednesday announced the agreement involving the remains of about 20 people and 28 funerary objects taken from the Mesa Verde area more than 100 years ago. The remains and artifacts were unearthed during excavations by a Swedish researcher in 1891 and hundreds of items eventually became part of the collection of the National Museum of Finland.

President Donald Trump and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto acknowledged the sanctity of the items to the more than two dozen tribes with cultural connections to the Mesa Verde region, best known for hundreds

The Hopi excavations more than a century ago by the researcher Gustaf Nordenskio'ld resulted in his arrest in 1891 when he tried to PHOTO FILE export the collection.

of stone dwellings that early inhabitants constructed in cliffsides, said U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt.

The agreement ensures the remains and items will be brought ``to their proper resting place in the U.S,'' Bernhardt said.

Clark Tenakhongva, vice chairman of the Hopi Tribe, said tribes hope to receive the collection by early next year and would ensure funerary items are

buried with the remains in the general area where they were taken, accompanied by a ceremony. ``I know we'll work together as the various tribes that have interest in them,'' Tenakhongva said. ``And how we process them will be the most carefully thought out plan so that we don't do any more harm than what's already been done.''

The exact burial location won't be publicized

to prevent the site from being disturbed. ``They need to be returned there so they can safety return to the spirit world, in the next world,'' he said. ``Hopi always believe, like most cultures and people, when you pass on you're going to return to God or Jesus.

And we return back to the hands of the creator who brought us here.''

The agreement comes as U.S. lawmakers have pushed for legislation to ban collectors and vendors from exporting Native American ceremonial items. The proposal would close loopholes that have stifled efforts to retrieve Native American items that have shown up on the auction block in Paris.

In 2016, French dealers were forced to halt the sale of a ceremonial shield from Acoma Pueblo, a Native American village west of Albuquerque. Leaders from the New Mexico tribe said the shield was taken from their village decades ago.

A federal court earlier this year called for the shield to be released to

the U.S. Embassy in Paris so it could be returned.

Efforts to return the Mesa Verde remains and items started in 2016 when tribes associated with the park began working with the Finnish museum to identify the collection's human remains and funerary objects. An inventory was completed last year.

Federal officials must now craft a plan for the transfer of the remains and items to the tribes and pueblos.

The Hopi Tribe in northeastern Arizona was among those leading the repatriation effort. The other tribes with links to Mesa Verde include the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah; the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute in Colorado; 19 pueblos, and the Mescalero and Jicarilla Apache tribes in New Mexico; and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in Texas.

Navajo President Jonathan Nez said the agreement is a step in the right

direction. ``This is an unfortunate and longstanding issue that many tribes have dealt with including the Navajo Nation,'' he said.

E. Paul Torres, chairman of the All Pueblo Council of Governors, said tribal leaders look forward to the repatriation and referred to the cultural items as ``the sacred living footprints of our ancestors'' and vital parts of the legacy that tribes strive to leave for future generations.

The excavations more than a century ago by the researcher Gustaf Nordenskio'ld resulted in his arrest in 1891 when he tried to export the collection. He was later released because no U.S. laws had been broken.

Hopi officials said the case helped to sway public perception about the importance of protecting cultural resources. Later, the 1906 Antiquities Act was adopted, and Mesa Verde was established as a national park.

Four teens facing murder charges in stabbing outside Hamilton high school editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON — Four teens face first-degree murder charges after a 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death outside a southern Ontario high school, police said Tuesday as they alleged the attack was premeditated.

Hamilton Police Det. Sgt. Steve Bereziuk declined to offer many details about the death of Devan Selvey, who was stabbed Monday afternoon just outside his school as his mother looked on.

But at a news conference announcing the latest developments in the case, Bereziuk said investigators believe the incident was clearly targeted. ``We do believe there is some element of preplanning and premeditation to this homicide,'' Bereziuk said, although he did not elaborate on the relationships between Devan and the four people now accused in his death.

Officers were called to Sir Winston Churchill Secondary

School in Hamilton's east end on Monday, after what they initially described as a serious assault.

They later confirmed that Devan was stabbed shortly after 1 p.m. His mother was on-site and witnessed the attack on her son, but police declined to say why she was there.

Bereziuk said police arrested a 14-year-old boy and 18-year-old man hours after the alleged stabbing, adding both have since been formally charged with first-degree murder.

Two other suspects — a boy and a girl, both 16 — have since been arrested and will soon be charged with first-degree murder as well, he said.

Bereziuk said the name of the 18-year-old accused is protected under the terms of a publication ban, while the Youth Criminal Justice Act shields the identities of the younger suspects.

He did not offer a motive for the attack, but a fundraising page set up by someone claiming to be Devan's sister suggests he had been bullied.

Karissa Selvey offered few details on the GoFundMe page meant to help cover the costs of a ``send-off,'' but said her brother had ``tried to get help for the bullying he was experiencing.'' ``He was a great kid; shy, quiet and always helped his family and friends,'' she wrote. ``He wanted to become a mechanic; he loved cars....

He was my best friend and I don't know how to live without him.''

Bereziuk said Devan's death has prompted widespread co-operation from the community, but has also shocked residents of the city west of Toronto. ``This entire incident is disturbing,'' he said. ``It's difficult to comprehend right now, to be honest with you. I can't imagine the way the family feels right now.''

Bereziuk said police have recovered the knife they believe was used to kill Selvey not far from where the teen died.

He said the investigation into his death remains active.

CHECK OUT OUR PUMPKIN VINE FOR GREAT IDEAS OF WHERE TO VISIT ON YOUR WAY THERE! A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE

WATERFORD PUMPKINFEST

from Matt Suckel, Chair and Lion...

I was born in Waterford, moved away for ten years and then moved back when I was beginning grade 5. I believe the festival kicked off one year before I came back, so it feels like I have been here since its inception. Being from Waterford, I have always been proud of Pumpkinfest and even in my days at college, used to bring my friends back here to experience it. In fact, my entire extended family used to meet at my Grandma's every single Pumpkinfest and use it as a home base to explore the town. You could always come back to Gram’s and grab some chili or a snack, and head back out again.

Consequently, as I am co-chair for Pumpkinfest and really wasn’t aware of the beginnings of this great festival, I decided to go on a hunt for how the festival started. Here is what I learned!

Apparently Jean Kerr, the curator of "Spruce Row Museum", had been travelling the New England States with her husband, and the various celebrations that she saw of the Halloween season impressed her.

She came back and spoke with her colleagues at the Waterford Townsend Historical Society, whom apparently all loved idea. From there, Jean Kerr, Ruth Ann Logan, Mildred Poss and Carol Gerrett went and visited a similar festival in Circleville, Ohio, a small town with big ideas! Apparently the trip was a smashing success and in October 1983 Pumpkinfest was born!

Jean Kerr and Deanna Dugas even dressed up as pumpkins and visited the Norfolk County Fair to promote the 1st Festival!

As the festival exploded, by 1985 a committee was formed to manage it.

That committee initially comprised of Carol Walker, (President) and Caroline Cochrane, (Secretary).

From all I read, 1985 was a huge success. I think it is awesome how a few members of this community decided we needed a festival to bring Waterford together as a community.

Somehow that still rings true today.

Agency for Indigenous investments

ST. JOHN’S — The Innu Nation is taking legal action against a memorandum of understanding between Canada and the NunatuKavut Community Council, arguing it will harm the Nation's constitutional land rights in Labrador.

The agreement setting guidelines for self-determination talks between the two governments was signed on Sept. 5.

Formed as the Labrador Metis Association in the early 1980s, the NunatuKavut Community Council de-

scribes itself as representing approximately 6,000 Inuit people in southern and central Labrador.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Innu Nation _ which represents approximately 2,200 Innu people, most of them in Labrador _ says it has applied to the Federal Court to cancel the memorandum of understanding.

The Innu Nation claims says the deal could affect or delay its own claim in Labrador, which has not been finalized.

It also argues the Council has claimed lands that overlap with the Innu land claim area, that Canada did not do its due diligence before signing the agreement and that NunatuKavut does not fit the criteria of a political organization ``capable of holding Aboriginal rights'' under the Constitution.

NunatuKavut Community Council President Todd Russell responded to the Innu claim in a statement Tuesday, condemning it as ``inflammatory and misleading.''

Kenney said the bill was the result of consultations with more than 200 stakeholders.

Chief Billy Morin of the Enoch Cree Nation said the corporation is needed so that First Nations can participate in the provincial economy in an environmentally responsible way. ``They (the government) didn't fidget around for three years in a committee trying to get it right. They just did it,'' said Morin. ``And we'll be better for it for many generations to come.''

EDMONTON — Alberta is moving to set up a new Crown corporation to help Indigenous groups invest in major natural resource projects.

The United Conservatives have introduced a bill that says the government would put up $1 billion, along with technical and financial advice, to backstop the Crown.

Premier Jason Kenney says it would be a new way of doing business with First Nations.

He says it would focus on partnerships led by the arms-length Crown agency rather than ``picking winners and losers.''

More details needed in response to Tina Fontaine report: advocate CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s advocate for youth says a lot more needs to be done if the government is to save children in care from the grim reality of an Indige-

nous teenage girl whose body was found in a river. ``Awareness is the first step,'' says Daphne Penrose of her report released in March into Tina Fontaine's death. ``The big question becomes: 'What are you going to do to change the services for children and youth in

Manitoba to make sure those situations don't occur again?'''

Penrose's report into Tina's life and death outlined how social workers and others failed the girl even as it became clear she was spiralling downward and her life was at risk.

Tina was 15 when her

body was found in the Red River flowing through Winnipeg five years ago.

The report included five recommendations touching on justice, education, mental health and child welfare.

Penrose said at the time that the province needed to act quickly or more children would die.

The province committed to releasing updates publicly on its progress, but a report in June was not available until recently.

Officials cited a pre-election blackout ahead of the Sept.

10 vote.

The update says the government has shared the advocate's recommenda-

It also says the province has ongoing reviews into youth mental-health services and how child welfare and the justice system are intertwined. ``We also know that simply increasing service funding is not the answer,'' the update says. ``We must look at short-, medium- and long-term projects critically, so we can address ... the needs of people seeking treatment now while building a stronger system in the months and years ahead.''

The Families Department says in an email that the government is reviewing feedback from the advocate's office and will continue to provide regular updates on progress.

Tina's mother was 17 and still a child in care when Tina was born. Both of her parents struggled with addictions. When Tina was five, she went to live with her great-aunt Thelma Favel from the Sagkeeng First Nation.

Tina's life was relatively stable until her father was murdered in 2011. Favel, who was still her caregiver, tried to get her help through victim services.

But Tina never received counselling.

In June 2014, Tina went to Winnipeg to reconnect with her mother. Tina was soon homeless, developed addictions and was sexually exploited. She reached out for help several times, but on more than one occasion there were no beds available.

Her 72-pound body, wrapped in a duvet cover and weighed down by rocks, was pulled from the river two months later.

Penrose says she's been encouraged by actions taken by victim support services for children. One such initiative has been creating template letters to make sure information is clear and consistent for victims in traumatic situations in the justice system. Other positive changes have included expanding kits to help kids develop healthy coping strategies.

But many responses have been lacking in details, she says. Her office sent

Quick & Easy Craft: How to make calico corn STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

As October has brought us the harvesting season, Two Row Times decided to try out a craft that is easy and kid-friendly. The craft can be used as a decoration for fall and is inspired by calico corn, or “Indian”

A craft that can be made from the comfort of your home, or in our case, office, pipe-cleaner calico corn is a great craft for the harvest season. The craft calls for no glue, staples or a ton of time and at the end you get a sweet calico corn cob to use as decoration or a PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN. gift.

corn.

Historically speaking, “Indian” corn, also known as Calico or Flint corn, is a grain native to indigenous nations in North and South America. The rise of corn as a staple in Western diets came only after indigenous people gave seeds to early English colonists, and taught them how to care for and harvest it.

When telling it corn from other grains, the colonists referred to it as “Indian" corn because it was so unlike any of the grains they were used to eating back in England.

Needless to say, “Indian” corn quickly caught on and the rest is history. Today, much of North America uses more farmland to grow corn than it uses to

grow any other grain.

Preparation time for craft calico corn is roughly 20 minutes, with no glue required!

Prep time for a calico corn cob is only 20 minutes and only calls for beads, pipe-cleaners PHOTO and some leater.

BY CHEZNEY MARTIN.

For one cob you will need: four pipe-cleaners, 128 pony beads of your choice in colour and some spare leather if you want to add husk.

Let’s get to it!

Step one: Take your pipe cleaners and pinch them in the middle, then rotate them with a twisting motion. Then separate each pipe-cleaner from the others. You should end up with a spider-like spindle of eight pipe-cleaner “legs.”

Step two: Take your pony beads and begin to stack them onto the legs of your pipe-cleaner spindle. You can add as many as you’d like to each leg but we used 16 beads for ours.

Step three: Pick up your spindle carefully, but don’t worry too much, the beads should stay in place thanks to the pipe-cleaners. Then pull the pipe-cleaner legs together and twist the

TORONTO — Six projects by indigenous designers to be played live on the big screen, all to take place on Friday, October 25 in the TIFF Bell Lightbox Cinema 3 for the Night of the Indigenous Devs.

But what is a ‘dev?’

Dev is the abbreviated term for video game developer. A dev is a software developer that specializes in video game development – with of course, is the process and related disciplines of creating video games.

Self-funded developers are known as independent or indie devs and usually make indie games.

Thus, the unique theatrical experience will allow

visitors to hear first-hand from Indigenous game designers and artists and the opportunity to listen to a handful of iNDigital Space creators talk while their game is played live.

“Think the iNDigital space looks really cool?

Not sure what you think of Indigenous video games?

Come and experience a taste of the iNDigital Space at Night of the Indigenous Devs listen to the creators talk while you watch their game played live all in the comfort of a TIFF Theatre,” wrote the ImagineNATIVE website.

On the play list for the evening include: When Rivers Were Trails, which allows players to make the journey west while helping resistances and facing Indian Agents as an Anishinaabe who has been displaced

TORONTO - Six indigenous developers will take to the TIFF Bell Lightbox Cinema to talk about and show off their individual video games for visitors to enjoy.

But if you do have leather…

Step four: Cut yourself some husks. We folded a rectangle of leather in half and cut it into a leaf like piece. Then peel your pipe-cleaner tips a part and place the middle of your husk piece there, then re-twist the pipe-cleaner tips together.

Step five: Cut yourself an eight inch strip of leather and tie it in a knot at the base of your pipe-cleaner tips, and then wrap the tips in the leather strip. When you’ve covered the tips of pipe-cleaner, you can tie another knot. With the extra leather the cob can then be tied like an ornament or to more cobs to make a bundle.

As Canada’s most famous and influential rock ’n’ roll frontman, Gord spent his final days shining a light on the reconciliation with Canada’s First Peoples.

He asked all Canadians to join the call to action. And now, a group of Canadian artists have joined our collective reconciliation journey with a concert to promote awareness, education and thoughtful action.

Joaquin Phoenix offers a performance prelude to Heath Ledger

STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

If you were to watch The Dark Knight after watching Joaquin Phoenix in the new ‘Joker,’ the two movies would bleed into one another almost seamlessly.

Although not quite explaining how the Joker rose from a mentally ill loner to a charismatic and intelligently manipulative “clown prince of crime,” the movie does encapsulate how he rose to crime fame — almost accidentally.

Without spoiling the movie; using grotesque themes of crime, slow-burning cinematography and intense depictions of mental un-wellness, the movie creates an air of anxiety and discomfort to the audience as the main character Arthur Fleck, awkwardly moves through life with the complete understanding of the uneasiness he brings upon those around him and no knowledge in how

Playing in cinemas around the world, the already much-talked about and anticipated 'Joker' film by director Todd Phillips gives a platform for Joaquin Phoenix to substantiate himself as a method actor and offer a character that leads up to the monumental performance of the same persona by Heath Ledger. The film has quickly given rise to outrage for its violent content and gun related-scenes to it's PHOTO COMPILED FROM SUBMITTED. praise of Phoenix for his performance.

to stop it.

“I haven’t been happy one minute of my entire (expletive) life,” is a line Fleck uses to describe his situation.

Thus making the movie a melancholists manifesto.

Director Todd Phillips' has already stirred up strong reactions to its unapologetic violence and moral ambiguity in that way that the movies storyline is cultivated onscreen.

Unfolding like a crumpled chip bag, Fleck is portrayed as a lonely-turned-nihilistic outcast who sees the world as cruel and unjust and some viewers have worried

that the movie glorifies revenge and could incite people to mimic the villain's actions.

However, Philips portrayal of Batman’s nemesis has already beaten Venom for it’s box office revenue record.

In the morning of Tuesday, October 8, it was announced that the movie will top $300 Million worldwide. The film earned another $9.72 million on Monday, a drop of 60% from its $24.375 million Sunday gross, which is just barely the biggest Monday ever in October, and above the $9.4 million gross of Venom on this frame last year.

Much like Ledger’s performance, Phoenix left the audience wanting more.

At the end of the day, leaving the audience wanting more is how a film comes out victorious, even when there’s no intention for a sequel or another appearance.

For the moment, it’s been said there won’t be a Joker sequel, but fans are heavily behind a follow-up to know what became of this man. The questions over his in-universe future are endless, and we’ll be talking about it for a while.

Unfortunately for Jared Leto’s Joker persona, his character has been pretty

much dropped for the time being, as he isn’t appearing in Birds of Prey, and won’t be reprising his role for The Suicide Squad either. Had fan interest been there, then you could be certain we’d be seeing his return, but fans had their fill of Leto’s Joker even in the ten minutes we saw him in Suicide Squad.

It has been rumoured that Phoenix worked extremely hard for his portrayal which included an extensive mental preparation for a role that exhausted him in real life and he even lost more than 23 kgs to play the mentally unstable char-

acter.

Trying to outdo Ledger though is a mould that one can not possibly break at all. But Phoenix safely paved his way into the hearts of critics and viewers and everyone is mostly loving his work.

In tribute to Ledger though, and this is a bit of a spoiler: nearing the end of the movie when Fleck arrives on the 'Live With Murray Franklin' show, he spots an old lady near the couch and immediately walks up to her and kisses her which baffles everyone.

This scene has fans convinced is the tribute to Ledger. Back in 2008, during the promotions of The Dark Knight, Heath was being interviewed by a host when a fan spotted him and began exclaiming excitedly. Ledger in response, casually walked up to her and kissed her, exactly how Fleck does in the movie.

It is a movie that will quickly become an October and Halloween staple.

New indigenous-made denim line STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Jeans today are an undeniable fashion staple, but this wasn’t always the case.

In the late 1800s, denim trousers were typically worn by male workers and referred to as “waist overalls,” and the pant was fairly commonplace and known as rough and tumble work wear.

But it was a humble tailor named Jacob Davis who approached Levi Strauss seeking financial support to patent his idea. Davis’s patent added metal rivets to the pockets and a button fly of denim trousers to make them more durable. As the story goes, on May 20, 1873, the first pair of blue jeans as we know them today were born.

Jeans have since become one fashion item that has definitely had its ups and downs and evolved significantly in time. And jeans are evolving with the times

Inspired by his great-grand-father, one of the designers of Ginew took inspiration for this rendition of the age-old denim jacket.

yet again, as Ginew, an indigenous-made denim line has begun to garner attention — appearing in VogueWorld on October 3.

The husband-and-wife founding duo behind Ginew — based in Portland, Oregon—launched their unisex denim line in 2011.

In much of indigenous movie culture, such as Dance Me Outside and Smoke Signals, many of the cast are seen wearing

denim — in reality, many indigenous people rock it as the fashion staple that it has become. So even thought denim may not seem like a “traditional” element of indigenous design, Erik Brodt and Amanda Bruegl’s decided to prove that it can be.

Their collection of jeans, jackets, vests, and more are all made in the United States and the duo explain their fashion for-

ward thinking as “Native Americana.” Their designs fuse a workwear-inspired vibe with traditional motifs from their respective tribes which is Anishnaabe, Oneida, and Mohican.

Brodt explained that some of the items may not appear indigenous but are still significant to the duo as designers.

They decided to use their line as a means of changing and reshaping what indigenous-inspired wear should or should not look like.

Their thinking is a spirit many emerging indigenous labels have embraced as of late: not fitting the mold of what one expects a Native American fashion line to look like, while still embracing their own cultural traditions in a contemporary way.

The duo are physicians by trade, as Brodt is a family medicine physician and Bruegl is a gynecologic oncologist with both conducting medical research that aims to improve the health and wellness of indigenous people.

The idea for Ginew first ignited after the couple got married in 2010.

After dabbling in leather goods for a brief period, the couple then decided to expand into apparel in 2014.

Brodt’s great-grand-father would don a signature denim jacket. As a result, a denim jacket style is made with a thick selvedge denim from Japan’s Nihon Menpu mill, where they source all of their denims and it’s also lined with a graphic printed wool that was made in collaboration with Pendleton and the Sičangu

Lakota artist Dyani White Hawk, who incorporated shapes of Ojibwa and Oneida dwellings, as well as colours found in the wampum belt teachings.

In addition to these unique stories and values that are embedded into their clothing, the duo also use Ginew to make use of textiles that are popularly used by their nations. One of which is deerskin leathers, used on jean patches or as trimming on jackets.

You can check out more of their work at https:// ginewusa.com/collections.

As can be seen above, Ginew uses the mindset that the designers cannot be barred by what is "supposed" to look Native American, and seek to evolve the concept with their line. PHOTO BY GINEW.

New documentaries emerge with west coast inspiration

A documentary by Tlingit and Tahltan filmmaker Gordon Loverin explores the potlatch ban.

Potlatches are powerful expressions of culture and community for the people of the Pacific Northwest Coast, but at one time, they were sent to jail for performing the dances and ceremony.

Loverin makes this the focus of Beyond Human Power.

Beyond Human Power starts with the aftermath of the infamous Christmas day raid when B. C., Provincial Police officers raided a Kwakwaka’wakw potlatch on Village Island. Dozens of celebrants were arrested, hundreds of ceremonial artifacts were taken and 22 people served terms in Oakalla Prison on Dec. 25, 1921.

Potlatches were used to mark births, deaths, weddings and the celebrations were a part of cultural identity for many.

The documentary also chronicles the Git Hayetsk dance group, as well as The Dakhká Khwáan Dancers and Kwanlin Dághàlhaan k'e Dancers in Yukon.

This documentary aired at 7 p.m. on CBC last Saturday, but is also streaming on CBC GEM. Another documentary is coming that will cover the art of Robert Davidson of the Haida Gwaii.

Haida Modern, a documentary by film-maker Charles Wilkinson, aimed to capture Davidson at work as he brought to life the knowledge of the old masters into the 21st century through his artwork and activism. It also aims to showcase Davidsons impact on the country, as seeing indigenous art-work wasn’t always so easy.

“Here on the west coast

pretty much everyone is touched by Robert’s work,” writes the Charles Wilkinson Website. “It’s on the walls, the phone boxes, on T-shirts, jewellery, tattoos, on the protest signs and regalia at the frequent rallies in defence of the increasingly threatened natural world. It’s in the monumental displays that make YVR one of the top airports on the planet.”

As a Northwest Coast native of Haida and Tlingit Descent, Davidson is known as a master sculptor of totem poles and masks and works in a variety of other media as a printmaker, painter and jeweler.

“It has been the art that has brought us back to our roots. I am proud to be one of those people chosen to put the puzzle back together again and move on,” wrote Davidson to his website.

“We had art that was sacred, only brought out for certain ceremonies. We had art on permanent display validating our place in the world. The big challenge today is to give meaning to

Premier gives apology to Indigenous peoples within Quebec Quebec's premier apologized to First Nations and Inuit people Wednesday for discrimination they suffered in dealing with the state, noting the province had failed in its duty to them.

Francois Legault acknowledged that apologies are but a first step and more work needs to be done to break down barriers and rectify long-standing problems. ``I offer Quebec's First Nations and Inuit members the most sincere apology from all of Quebec,'' Legault

said in a brief address to the national assembly as dozens of Indigenous leaders looked on from the visitor's gallery. ``The state of Quebec has failed in its duty to you, and it asks you today for forgiveness.''

The apology was the first of 142 calls to action laid out by the Viens commission, which concluded in a scathing report released Monday that the province's Indigenous communities suffered ``systemic discrimination.''

In an address made

entirely in French, Legault called the findings in the report devastating and pledged that the Quebec government would work with Indigenous leaders to implement the recommendations.

The inquiry was convened in December 2016 to look into how Indigenous people are treated by the police, the province's youth protection agency, health and social services as well as the justice and correctional systems.

It came amid mounting

pressure on the Liberal government of the day to act after women came forward to Radio-Canada's investigative program ``Enquete'' to denounce misconduct by police in Val d'Or. Legault saluted those women's ``courage'' in his speech and noted that the Viens report found Indigenous women were disproportionately victims of discrimination. ``These apologies are necessary,'' he said. ``It's very important, but it's not

enough. We must understand the reasons that led to this situation and, from there, we must change things.''

He said all human beings have a right to dignity. ``The Quebec government is not doing enough, and this situation is unbecoming to Quebec society,'' Legault told the legislature.

The group Quebec Native Women, which had criticized the lack of specific measures aimed at women in the Viens report, expressed the hoped the

province would move on the issue. ``It's easy to apologize, but we need clear commitments, written, formal, so that we can take action,'' executive director Viviane Michel said.

Grand Chief Verna Polson of the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation decried the absence of an English message from the premier.

Large indigenous impression on the ice for 2019 NHL season STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

It was recently announced that Ethan Bear of the Ochapowace Cree First Nation made the starting roster for the Edmonton Oilers.

As of Oct. 4 mid-afternoon, Ethan Bear was called back to the Oilers.

He had been sent back to Bakersfield after the season opener with the Edmonton team.

The 22-year-old defenceman from Saskatchewan did manage to crack the opening-night roster for the Edmonton Oilers, but he’ll have to impress early on to convince the team’s decision makers that he should remain around instead of being shipped off to the American Hockey League (AHL) for more grooming.

Bear spent the majority of the past two seasons in the AHL, with the Oilers’ affiliate Bakersfield Condors, but suited up for 18 games with the Oilers during the 2017-18 season. However he but didn’t play with Edmonton at all last season, he had various injuries during the 201819 campaign and appeared in 52 games with the California-based Condors, earning 31 points including a half dozen goals. It was noted that his appearance this year on the ice improved dramatically as he put more effort in.

This brought him to play straight out of training camp last Wednesday against the Vancouver

Canucks.

And among those on opening-day rosters besides Bear, were five other Indigenous players and Cree coach Craig Berube, who is hoping to guide the defending league champions, the St. Louis Blues, to another title.

A closer look at all of these individuals with updates follows with Brandon Montour, a Six Nations favourite.

Though he’s on the Buffalo Sabres’ roster, it could be perhaps up to a month before Montour sees any game ice this season.

That’s because the 25-year-old blueliner of Ohsweken, is currently sidelined with a hand injury sustained during the pre-season. He’s expected to miss the first three to four weeks of the regular season. Montour, dubbed an offensive-defenceman, joined the Sabres late last season following a trade

with the Anaheim Ducks.

The Sabres have high hopes for Montour, who earned 10 points in 20 games after joining the Buffalo squad last season.

Prior to that he had collected 25 points in 62 matches with the Ducks.

While on the benches of the NHL, Craig Berube, who is from Calahoo, Alta.,

played 17 seasons in the NHL. He suited up for 1,143 contests with five different franchises.

Berube began last season working as an assistant coach with the Blues.

But he was promoted to interim head coach when St. Louis fired head coach Mike Yeo last November.

Berube continued to have the interim tag throughout last season, including during the club’s lengthy playoff run.

But this past June the Blues’ brass removed the interim tag and officially named Berube as the head coach, rewarding him with a three-year contract.

Another face includes T.J. Oshie, Anishnaabe, who is a 32-year-old right winger with the Washington Capitals and also has his name engraved on the Stanley Cup. He had an instrumental role with the Capitals en route to their 2018 league championship as he registered 21 points, including eight goals, in 24 playoff

contests that spring.

Oshie, was born in the Washington city of Mount Vernon, is now in his 12th NHL season and fifth with the Capitals.

He continues to be one of Washington’s top offensive threats as he racked up 54 points (25 goals and 29 assists) in 69 regular season outings last season.

An indigenous face in net is Carey Price, a goaltender and a member of British Columbia’s Ulkatcho First Nation, is now in his 13th NHL season, all with the Montreal Canadiens.

Aging like wine, Price, 32, proved on numerous occasions last season he can still steal the show and lead the Canadiens to victory.

Price, who won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player in 2015, earned 35 victories in 66 regular season appearances last season.

His solid play is also considered one of the reasons the Canadiens exceed-

ed expectations just a year ago, proving experience can often boost age.

While it’s another new team for another indigenous face in the NHL, Micheal Ferland, who is a 27-year-old Cree forward from Swan River, Man. Ferland is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks, his third team in three years.

Ferland had spent his first four NHL seasons with the Calgary Flames. But in June of 2018 he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Ferland, however, only spent one season with the Hurricanes. That’s because this past July he was a free agent and inked a fouryear contract with the Canucks.

Ferland is coming off a decent campaign with the Hurricanes as he collected 40 points, including 17 goals, in 71 regular season contests.

The final face in the NHL playing for the Calgary Flames is Travis Hamonic, Metis, who is now in his 10th NHL season. He’s a 29-year-old defenceman and not one to put up huge offensive numbers but a very physical and valuable stay-at-home defenceman.

He had an NHL career high of seven goals last season. Hamonic, who is from St. Malo, Man., also added 12 assists in 69 regular season games.

He spent his first seven NHL seasons with the New York Islanders and also been applauded for his pro-career with his community efforts, including working with a number of Indigenous initiatives.

Chesapeake utilizes Haudenosaunee talent to secure MLL title STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

DENVER, CO – The Chesapeake Bayhawks are bringing the Steinfeld Trophy back to Annapolis for their first title since 2013 after overruling the Denver Outlaws last Sunday in the Major Lacrosse League series championship finale.

Equipped with two Haudenosaunee players, the Bayhawks had a lot of scoring power and used it.

Lyle Thompson added to his personal award stash last Saturday night as the 27-year-old attack-man for the Chesapeake Bayhawks, was named the MLL MVP at the MLL Honours ceremony Saturday in Denver.

The following night, he looked to top it off with

a Major League Lacrosse title.

The former two-time Tewaaraton Award winner at Albany, led the MLL with 73 points (46 goals, 27 assists) this season.

The Bayhawks then came out of the gait, biting at the bit to secure another MLL championship against the Denver Outlaws.

They jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first

quarter. Chesapeake’s first quarter goals came from five different players including Thompson, Steele Stanwick, Nick Mariano, Brendan Bomberry (Mohawk), and Shane Simpson.

The Outlaws only had three shots on goal in the opening frame and this garnered their performance on the scoreboard dramatically.

But the Outlaws weren’t

The Outlaws went on a 6-0 run over the span 27:45 to start the second half, while Mikie Schlosser scored the tying goal with 11:39 left in the fourth, followed by a Ryan Lee break in goal at the 7:52 mark. The crowd of over 6,000 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park thought their Outlaws were well on their way to a second consecutive title.

The Bayhawks were quick to pump up the ante.

Steele Stanwick ended the drought and tied the game

at nine with just over two minutes left. Stanwick then got his teammates involved, assisting on Andrew Kew’s championship winning goal.

Stanwick was named MLL Championship Game MVP. He is the recipient of a three thousand dollar check courtesy of New Balance pictured in the group photo.

How a female olympic sprinter broke a Usain Bolt record STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Just 10 months after giving birth, Olympic sprinter Allyson Felix broke one of Usain Bolt’s records.

The six-time Olympic gold medalist was part of the winning U.S. quartet in the first world championships mixed-gender 4x400m relay, an event that makes its Olympic debut next year.

The win caused her to break her tie with Bolt for the most gold medals in world championships history—a total of 12.

The victory might feel even sweeter for the decorated track and field athlete because it comes on the heels of another, more politically-charged win.

During her pregnancy with her daughter and after giving birth Camryn on November 28, 2018, Felix clashed with Nike over their lack of maternal protection. In December 2017, after seven years

with the brand, her contract had expired without being renewed, in part because the two parties didn't agree on pay protection for pregnancy.

She told the NY Times that for most her life she was focused on one thing — winning medals. But by age 32 and as one of the most decorated athletes

in history and an 11-time world champion, she wanted to be a professional athlete and a mother.

She entered the realm of motherhood knowing that pregnancy can be “the kiss of death” in her industry and felt pressure to return to form as soon as possible after the birth

of her daughter. This came after she had to undergo an emergency C-section at 32 weeks because of severe pre-eclampsia that threatened both lives.

Meanwhile, negotiations were not going well for Felix as Nike wanted to pay 70 percent less than before.

But Felix summed up her response to the honour in one word, “humbled,” on Twitter.

Another big accomplishment for Felix, is that this is her first season as a mother. SO intended or not, not only is Felix going to her fifth Olympic games, but in August the

new mom was part of the high profile movement that pressured Nike to change it’s long-standing maternity policies for its sponsored athletes.

Along with decorated women runners — including Alysia Montaño, Kara Goucher and Phoebe Wright — Felix successfully got the brand to adapt its policy which now ensures female athletes won’t be “adversely impacted financially due to pregnancy” for 18 months, which is six months more than under the previous policy.

Felix is now the first athlete to be sponsored

by Athleta, according to parent company Gap, Inc. Now the world can watch Felix run in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics while her accomplishment is expected to have reverberating effects for female athletes and, with hope, women in other industries, as well.

the government a slew of questions.

Penrose says she needs to know when reviews will be completed and has to have information on funding and other data to understand if the government is truly acting on the recommendations. ``To be able to monitor

the compliance ... allows us to ensure that these reports don't sit on a shelf collecting dust.''

Penrose says she understands the government needs time to adapt, but she expects its progress reports to include more information in the future.

Manitobans need to know what's being done to help children, she adds,

so her office plans to begin publishing analyses of the government's work online next month. ``The outcomes for kids can be quite dramatic and traumatic,'' she says. ``It is important that we always continuously improve the services that are being provided to kids in their ever-changing world.''

BY DONATION

By the back parking lot at St. George United Church, 9 Beverly St. East, St. George, we have built a ‘Reconciliation Garden’.

Invited by The United Church of Canada to ‘explore living into right relations with First Nations people’, this garden represents First Nations teachings and a place to come to listen to the Creator and have conversation with others.

The seven stones in the garden represent the seven traditional teachings: Humility, Love, Respect, Truth, Wisdom, Honesty and Courage.

We have planted traditional First Nations plants representing the 4 colours of the medicine wheel: Yellow: Black-Eyed Susans; Indian Grass; Black: Big Blue Stem; Wild Bergamot; Red: Little Blue Stem; Wild Strawberries; White: Sweet Grass; White Sage.

You are invited to a Blessing of the Reconciliation Garden on Sunday, October 13th, Thanksgiving.

We will gather in the sanctuary of the Church at 10AM and then walk together to the Sacred Space for a time together at 10:30 followed by refreshments in the hall.

We see this as a significant addition to the village of St. George and symbolic of a commitment to take steps towards ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ with our sisters and brothers of the land.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Take advantage of an opportunity that you have been considering, Aries. If you know what you want, go out and make it happen. Do what it takes to impress others.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are always ready to defend your own turf and quick to offer your opinions, even if it means being blunt. You may have to play it a little cool this week.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, hiding your feelings for some time is a recipe for unhealthy pressure. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind when your input is sought.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is a good idea to give people the benefit of the doubt, but don’t overlook your gut instincts.

It is always a good idea to be cautious when meeting new people.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may have to make a tough choice this week, Leo. It involves choosing to engage in some recreational activities or head to work to put in extra credit. Trust your judgment.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t have to have superhero levels of energy each and every day. If you are not feeling fully up to the tasks at hand this week, give yourself a well-earned breather.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are typically deft at keeping your emotions on a short leash, Libra. But every once in a while you can’t fully rein things in. Others will understand an outburst is out of character.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 There is a fine line between being a devoted employee and a workaholic, Scorpio. Scale back some of your hours, especially if work is affecting your home life.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may have been spreading your wings to see just how many new things you can accomplish, Sagittarius. This week one of your goals really gets traction.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be feeling footloose and flirty over the next couple of days. This is the perfect time to spend with a significant other or find a romantic interest if you are single.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may be asked to be a peace-keeping referee when two people on the job need a mediator. Your thoughtful approach makes you an ideal person to handle the task.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Volatile feelings can be calmed with the help of some good companionship this week, Pisces.

Channel your energy into something fun.
