SIX NATIONS VOTES TO BE CAST SIX NATIONS - With online voting currently open and advanced polls opening on November 2 and regular polls on November 9, Six Nations residents are getting ready to cast their vote for their respective districts and elected chief. But as the previous year garnered poor numbers from the Haundenosaunee at the federal level, it is hoped that the delegates this year can inspire a stronger number of voters by showcasing all of the qualities needed to amplify the concerns, questions and voices of PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN. the community.

Project to restart after graves disturbed
DULUTH—Officials say a bridge project in Minnesota will get a do-over after an American Indian burial site was disturbed. Minnesota Department of Transportation officials spoke at a community meeting Wednesday night about the state road project on the western edge of Duluth. They said the project is being restarted next year. The Star Tribune reports an archaeological study of the disturbed
ground was completed this month. Officials expect soil to be back in place in the cemetery area within a month. Work on the bridge replacement stopped in spring 2017 after members of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa told the state the area was likely a burial site, but not before human remains were unearthed. Construction on the bridge project won't likely restart until 2023.
HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and running back Maleek Irons spent the day running athletic drills with youth from Six Nations. Backed by Warrior Park Athletics, the day was in part of the Ti-Cats Youth Movement presented by LiUNA, last Sunday, which brought together over 10 Indigenous youth. The youth also took part in a cheque presentation of $15,000, recognizing the donation made by the Tiger Cats to the Youth Movement game day

LiUNA Canada and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for creating the game day event that gave kids from ‘6’ the opportunity to attend a game, receive Ti-Cat swag and food vouchers,” said Owner of Warrior Athletics Mike Hill, adding that “it was an amazing day.” Hill said that Warrior Park Athletics objective is to use the power of sports and recreation to help inspire and empower youth, and the organization exists to be a low-cost solution to organized sport. “There’s a lot of families out there that don’t have the resources to put their kids through sports and that’s a problem. It should not come down to money when it comes to being able to participate. There’s so much positivity that comes from participating.
Warrior Park is pursuing non profit status and will be going after funding that allows us to operate a amazing staff that keeps this main objective at the top,” he said. Once registered with Warrior Park, participants undergo a fitness assessment, which is the same athletic measure in the mobile camp. Hill said that Warrior Par is “excited at the connectivity this gives us and all the amazing possibilities,”as the mobile camp has opened a wider horizon for their initiative to reach more. “I love that theres so much opportunity here. We have developed a mobile camp that allows us to take Warrior Park on the road. It gives us the

We can go in train these kids with affective affordable equipment that were able to leave, things that kids can take home and keep training with their families. We want to
provide an amazing two day experience and not just leave.” Hill also thanked local businesses Jukasa designs, pro-fit health club, Kanata Fuels, Mont-Hill Golf who have allowed us to purchase a thousand pairs of shoes at a cut-cost from Shelley at ILA Sports and Under Armour. “We are really grateful to have been recognized this summer and invited out to a lot of events held
by organizations that we have a ton of respect for. We recognize the value in sharing each other’s resources and are excited to be working on some pretty incredible things as we speak,” said Hill. As part of the CFL’s program, the youth also took home their own footballs as the program is working to send 10,000 “pigskins” to youth across the country.

Google not consulting with Mississaugas TORONTO — Sidewalk Labs has come under criticism for not doing enough to include recommendations by members of the Indigenous community in its proposal for the Quayside development on Toronto's waterfront. In an Oct. 25 letter to Waterfront Toronto, Indigenous artist and elder Duke Redbird and architect Calvin Brook say that the Google Inc. sister company talks about Indigenous consultations in its master plan but has not done enough on recommendations made by a focus group of Indigenous people in architecture, urban design and other creative sectors. ``None of the recommendations that resulted from this Indigenous consultation process have been acknowledged or
carried forward in any substantial manner in the Sidewalk Labs' proposals,'' they said. The 14 core recommendations that came from a one-day consultation hosted by Sidewalk Labs, and organized by the Indigenous Design Studio at the Brook McIlory architecture firm, looked to address some of the needs of the Indigenous community including adding Indigenous art, housing, and job components. The letter writers say the recommendations have apparently been dismissed even as Sidewalk Labs talks of inclusion in its official draft plan and working together. ``This resulted in a grossly misleading implication of endorsement by the Indigenous community of Toronto.''
The writers acknowledge that the plan includes temporary winter art installations that could be designed by Indigenous artists, and that some housing and jobs have been set aside for Indigenous people within a longer list of disadvantaged groups, but say the commitments are ``tokenistic'' and ``meaningless.'' Sidewalk Labs spokeswoman Keerthana Rang says Quayside plans are still at the early stage, but Sidewalk is committed to continued conversations and collaboration with Indigenous stakeholders, in particular with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the treaty holders for the area. ``We are in the very early stage of the process in this project and there is a lot more work to do to
solidify plans based on the engagements we have had and will continue to have.'' She said that the consultation with Indigenous architects and others has factored into their plan, including affordable housing, design competitions for Indigenous artists on future projects, and a zone for Indigenous placemaking. She said Sidewalk also plans to make commitments on Indigenous skills training and jobs and include Indigenous suppliers. The letter comes less than a week ahead of an Oct. 31 deadline Waterfront Toronto has set to resolve a number of key issues with Sidewalk including the project's scale, public transit commitments, developer selection, and privacy and data issues.

Opinion: Reserve elections are different STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Reserves are in a league of their own when it comes to voting. We are, as a rule, governed at the federal level, but this isn’t to say that our elections are federal. Indigenous people have the power to vote for the elected band council, follow our sovereign democracy as well as vote in the Canadian election. To get to the meat and potatoes of this article, we can take a look at the rest of Canada for comparison. For a while now, voter turnout in all Canadian elections has been declining and this is a statistic that causes a great deal of outrage and disappointment among politicians and academics. Depending on how it is calculated, in a usual federal election, only 45 to 60 per cent of Canadians will bother voting at all, and the numbers are generally far lower in provincial and local races. This disengagement is difficult to blame on any single cause, but most analysts attribute it to a public that either feels cynical, spiteful about the ability for politicians to effect meaningful change on the issues that matter to them, or that are simply too ill-informed to feel comfortable casting a ballot. But apparently, efforts were made during the last federal election to get Indigenous people across Canada to "rock the vote.” But this excluded many Haudenosaunee. According to data from Elections Canada, 1,851 people voted in the 2015 federal election across all of seven Haudenosaunee communities in Canada. That number represents about 6.6 per cent of eligible voters living on-reserve in those communities. “Stay in your boat and we’ll stay in ours,” as some say, with the view of voting in the Canadian election being a violation of treaty relations established with the Two Row Wampum belt. Let us not forget that the parallel can be drawn as it was 1960 that “Status Indians” were permitted to vote in Canadian federal
elections, but it wasn’t until 1975 that British citizens were barred from voting in Canadian elections. Canadian election campaigns are generally expensive, big-budget affairs featuring an assortment of pricy gimmicks like television commercials, glossy brochures and rented buses with a giant photo of
the leader’s face plastered on the side. This costs a lot of money, and campaign finance rules exist to prevent things from getting too out of hand. But you will see our campaign runners pushing wire signs into the earth, renting out banners to put at the end of their laneways, and even organizing
meet-and-greets. At the end of the day, a general consensus could be made that elections are nothing more than popularity contests as the more popular you are, the more likely you’ll win. But what makes a person popular politically? Put simply, the candidate should be for things
that voters like and against things that they dislike. Put openly, the candidate must stand for something that others want to see someone stand for. They are friendly, well-spoken individuals that seem to have the best interest of the common person at heart. For Haudenosaunee people in particular, we
know that these qualities have to be amped up by a devotion to the land, the community, its resources, the youth and children and their futures, and the quality of life for everyone, young and old. These might be the very qualities that set reserve elections apart.

Lifelong Learning Task Force to community To all Six Nations citizens from the Core Team of the Six Nations Lifelong Learning Task Force (LLTF) in response to a recent article published in the Turtle Island News covering the LLTF presentation to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council of Chiefs (HCCC). The Manager of the Education Coordination Office, established through the work of the Lifelong Learning Task Force, was recently invited by the HCCC to provide them with an overview of the current community initiative on education. The presentation provided the HCCC with a basic understanding of how the initiative began, the mandate of the Task Force and outcomes of activities to date. The presentation began by acknowledging that the initiative currently lacks representation from the HCCC and that we are hoping to be able to obtain input from the HCCC in the future. The mandate of the Task Force was presented as an exploration of options and the development of recommendations on a world-class lifelong learning (education) system that is based on language and culture for Six Nations of the Grand River. The 2018 Community Engagement Report, the Six Nations Education Study and the Six Nations Lifelong Learning (Education) System Roadmap were cited as key outcomes of
the recent activity of the Task Force (all documents are public on the Six Nations of the Grand River websitehttp://www.sixnations.ca/Lifelonglearningtaskforce.htm). The purpose of this open letter is to provide clarity on some of the contents of the recent news article in the Turtle Island News. The article began by stating that the HCCC “will not support any take over of education at Six Nations without permanent funding attached.” This is a sentiment shared by the LLTF as we progress on the exploration of options and the development of recommendations for education in our community. The article indicates the LLTF is looking for a legal agreement which binds Canada to fund our education system through funding transfers directly from the Treasury Board to an autonomous (from political) Education Coordination entity in perpetuity (forever – not on a time limited basis). However, the article also indicates that one of the HCCC Chiefs believes the band administration is considering educational funding for 10 years only with no guarantees. This is in direct contrast to what was presented to the HCCC. The LLTF is not considering any time limited options– we are working towards a funding guarantee that meets the needs of our community for now
and generations to come with no time limit (in perpetuity). The LLTF presenter indicated to the HCCC that there is no current guarantee of funding to conduct the engagement, planning and negotiation required to obtain this legal agreement in perpetuity. Funding for the work being undertaken presently is obtained piecemeal through submitting proposals through various funding envelopes and opportunities as they arise. However, the article states that the same HCCC Chief misconstrued this to mean Six Nations would have no funding guarantee if we were to recover control over our own education system. For clarity – a legal agreement, in perpetuity, would have to be agreed to by the community and finalized with Canada before the LLTF would proceed with recovery of full community control over education. The last area of inconsistency to be addressed lies in the assertion by the same HCCC Chief that the activities of the LLTF are feeding into the implementation of the controversial federal Indigenous Rights Framework. To be clear – the Core Team of the LLTF has reviewed all current federal policies under which First Nations can assert various levels of control and jurisdiction over education and have found that none that meet our needs. The LLTF is

looking to establish an agreement with Canada unique to Six Nations that meets the needs of the whole community and especially our learners. Six Nations Elected Council rejected the federal Indigenous Rights Framework via resolution at the General Council meeting on November 13, 2018 and sent letters to the Prime Minister stating their opposition as they viewed the proposed Framework as a significant threat to the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples and Treaty relationships. Furthermore, the letters stated that the Framework was a direct affront to true processes of decolonization. The LLTF adhere to this position in this initiative. As outlined there are many areas the work of the LLTF and the HCCC align on. It is for the benefit of all current and future learners in our community and the preservation of our languages, our cultures and Nations that the HCCC provide their vast knowledge and wisdom into this community effort to recover full control over our education system. Future plans include answering questions where gaps exist in our knowledge through secondary research and community engagement.

Roger Jonathan explains nomination in letter I’m writing this letter to let the community know why I nominated Cynthia Jamieson for Elected Chief of Six Nations. I worked with Cynthia for 4 years from 19911995 when she was the director for Social Services and I was an elected councillor on that committee. I found Cynthia to be well spoken, always well researched and open minded. Her experience working with the Saskatchewan Human Rights was a significant asst that benefited the community as her innate ability for investigation. Cynthia was very knowledgeable on the
social services issues, and try policy oriented. She worked for 9 years for Six Nations Council in two significant position; Director of Social Services and Director of Operations. Then 18 years for the New Credit Council as their Director of Operations. This gave her significant experience and success in working with all levels of government and the community. Cynthia has the knowledge and experience to be the next Elected Chief of Six Nations of the Grand River.

a cannabis retail store in Ontario are seeking to appeal after a court dismissed their challenge of the rejection last month. The group has filed a notice that it is seeking leave to appeal the divisional court decision, saying the three-judge panel erred in finding the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario acted reasonably in interpreting the licensing rules. It also argues the case raises issues that go beyond the interests of the specific parties, such as what counts as proper notification. The group has also filed a motion contesting another judge's decision not to put the cannabis licensing process on hold until the application for leave to appeal is resolved. The 11 initially turned to the court in September to challenge their disqualification and dispute the fairness of the procedures involved in the lottery used to grant pot shop
which administers the system, had said the applicants were rejected for failing to submit a letter of credit within the established five-day deadline. But lawyers for the group said the email notifying their clients of the lottery's outcome bounced back, and the deadline should have been adjusted to account for when they actually received the message. The divisional court ruled against the group and also lifted a stay on the licensing process for the latest round of pot shops, which it had put in place while the case was underway. That meant another 11 people who were selected to replace those disqualified could proceed with their applications. Lawyers for the rejected applicants, meanwhile, filed the notice seeking leave to appeal in the days that followed the ruling. They also sought to have another stay imposed until
dismissed, with that judge saying he was not satisfied the applicants would suffer irreparable harm without one. In court documents, lawyers for the group say they will argue the judge erred in finding their clients could sue the AGCO for damages. They say they will also argue the judge was mistaken when he said the appeal court could require the government to allow the group to apply for licences if that challenge is successful. ``This court has no jurisdiction to compel the government to act in that manner,'' the documents say. The government has held two rounds so far of the lottery that determines who can apply to open cannabis stores. Lottery winners have five business days to turn in their application, along with a $6,000 non-refundable fee and a $50,000 letter of credit.

Hamilton school board votes to launch anti bullying panel in wake of student's tragic death HAMILTON — A southern Ontario school board that's been fielding criticisms since the stabbing death of a 14-year-old student has voted in favour of creating a panel to improve its response to bullying. The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board unanimously voted in support of creating the panel at a Monday night meeting, adopting a recommendation contained in a report from the Director of Education. Manny Figueiredo says the recent death of Devan Bracci-Selvey has raised concerns about bullying in the community that the panel will try to address. Devan was fatally stabbed outside of his high school earlier this month, and two teens are now facing first-degree murder charges in his death. His mother, who witnessed the alleged attack on her son, says Devan endured weeks of bullying before he died. The panel, which will
seek feedback from the community and independent experts on how to prevent and respond to bullying incidents, is expected to present its findings next May. Board Chair Alex Johnston has previously said there have been past errors in how the school board reported bullying incidents to the province, though she declined to specify what those errors were or whether they were related to Bracci-Selvey's case. Part of the panel's mandate, she said, would be to improve the board's reporting process. In an interview the day before the formal vote on establishing the panel, Johnston said the board could be doing more to prevent bullying. ``We want to work our community to make our school and our community safer for everyone,'' she said. ``No one should have to suffer the consequences of bullying in silence.'' Johnston urged parents
and students to continue to tell schools about bullying when it happens so they can help address the issue. The Board has shared little information about Devan's case, citing the ongoing investigation by Hamilton Police, but has previously acknowledged it was aware of bullying complaints related to him. Figueiredo has said the anti-bullying panel will study bullying as a broader issue rather than focusing on Devan's death alone. A third party will look into the killing at a later date when the police investigation is completed, he added. Police charged a 14-yearold boy and 18-year-old man in the case hours after Devan's death, later alleging that the younger teen was the one wielding the knife. The 18-year-old's name is protected by a publication ban, while the identity of the 14-year-old is shielded by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

nêhiyawak shares video for ‘tommaso’ STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
This week sees the highly-anticipated release of nêhiyawak’s stunning debut album, nipiy, marked with today’s arrival of the music video for “tommaso” by Maskwacis, Alberta-based filmmaker Maria Buffalo. The song – which combines Marek Tyler’s momentous krautrock rhythm and the terrestrial beat of Indigenous percussion, Matthew Cardinal’s swirling electric melodies, and Kris Harper’s resounding vocals – is enhanced by Buffalo’s remarkably personal dedication to community. nipiy is out today on Arts & Crafts. nêhiyawak, NEH-heeoh-wuk, meaning the Cree People, People of the Plains, Plains People, Exact People, Free People. As the Cree language does not capitals, nêhiyawak hails from amiskwaciy (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 territory. On the band’s debut album, nipiy, the trio of Indigenous artists – Kris Harper (vocals, guitars), Marek Tyler (drums), and Matthew Cardinal (synths, bass) – transcends a new intersection of traditional storytelling and modern sound. nêhiyawak – whose name refers directly to their nêhiyaw ancestry – is a spirited expression of Indigeneity. nipiy, which translates to water, is the title of nêhiyawak's first full length album. The flow and pace of the album, symbolic of the flow and pace of water, begins and ends with pieces dedicated to kisiskâciwanisîpiy (North Saskatchewan River), a river that flows through the center of amiskwaciy. In the band's words, “There are many important ideas and teachings that we were raised with in our lives, but few more important than water. It’s a mod-

ern conversation with complex meanings and understandings.” “It is a testament to the properties of the element it strives to represent, and a beacon of hope for communities to learn from and grow with each other. Astounding and worth every minute of its running time,” wrote Exclaim! “the sound of prairies sighing, of mountains uprising, of rivers racing and skies splitting open, all devoted to investigating their land, history, and heritage,” wrote Beatroute Buffalo offers this insight on nêhiyawak’s song and her directorial debut: “My vision for ‘tommaso’ has been in the making for years. ‘tommaso’ was the first track I listened to from nêhiyawak and I instantly fell in love and I felt at home. When I was approached to do this I was over the moon. During the early stages I was in an indigenous literature class and we were studying indigenous erotica. Its main praxis – and what I wanted my art specifically to explore – is how indigenous bodies are an extension of the land. Growing up on the reservation, that was something I understood from a young age. I grew up on the land. It created me. The track of tommaso was very much about love and devotion. So it made sense to take this chance
to create this love letter to my home and my community, and to the band. It was vital for me to make sure this was actually shot on my reservation and to include talent from my community as well (with Hunter from Sucker Creek as the exception). We then decided on a location and suddenly it became something so much more personal to me. My Kokum Sadie generously allowed us to film in her home and she agreed to star in it as well. So it suddenly became a family affair. Which was wickedly sacred and beautiful. For my entire family and community to come together to bring to life this story. To structure the video a bit more while doing shortlists and soft blocking I decided to focus on four main people in the four main stages of life. Showing all these beautiful brown bodies and what they contain. This was the story of our land. This was a love story. With indigenous bodies and the land. And with each other.” Songwriter Kris Harper says he wrote “tommaso” with the history of the European Renaissance in mind. “I felt like there is an incredible love story to be examined between Michaelangelo and Tom-
maso,” says Harper. “As well to point out to some of the realities of having the master’s work commissioned required the spoils of colonial exploits. For me the idea of having another indigenous artist (Maria Buffalo) visualize concepts knowing some of the back story of the lyrics in the music, but relating that to images of Maskwacis First Nation, the body, hands, and indigenous people; I could imagine an incredible juxtaposition. The story of the song deepens with additional perspectives working their own ideas into this piece.” Produced by Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Black Mountain, Destroyer), nêhiyawak’s sound combines terse post-rock soundscapes with surreal pop and sheer ambient aspects. Anchored by the hollowed pounding of Tyler’s traditional carved cedar log drums and Cardinal’s electronic inflections, nipiy combines the teachings of nêhiyawak’s Elders with the band’s own interests in music, instrumentation and lyrics. nipiy tells their story of collective experience – a band empowered by history and progress, compelled to add to the great body of work.
TORONTO — Earlier this month a call for submissions to the Mess Mates exhibit at the Ontario College of Art and Design University was made by Co-curators Michelle Beck and Dana Snow. The result brought together an exhibition that will show until November 1, that encompasses work that focuses on climate justice which can manifest as: imagined futures, stories concerning the earth and the tracks we leave on her, and concepts and strategies that help activate and mobilize communities. The exhibition, hosted by the Faculty of Art, serves as an entry point to thinking about how we engage with the land and the land’s resources: How do we make room for a relationship with land other than one of ownership? How do we navigate our own complicity in colonial and capitalist environmental destruction? What does it mean to push through collective grief for the land and to strategize? Messmates is not an end point, but a call to action. The exhibition encourages the audience to ask each other to do more: to advocate for changes in policy; to use our bodies and our art to protest; to listen and learn from one another; and to value collaboration, interconnection and care in a radical sense. Featured artists include: Annie Chen, Athena Katerina, Beehive Collective, Brandon Prince, Carolina Uscategui, Chelsea Smith, Ghazal Vakilzadeh, Gina D'Aloisio, Huaijun

Supreme surprise, a collab’ for the season STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
This fall, Makah tribal member artist John Goodwin, 71, or Nytom, is teaming up with Supreme on a series of printed jackets, the first time the streetwear label has partnered with a Native American artist. Nytom is a Makah Tribal member who was born in 1948 and raised in the community of Neah Bay. He has a strong sense of family gained from extensive historical knowledge of Makah songs, dances, ceremonies, and rituals. The sense of family helps Nytom understand how the families of Neah Bay came to be and allow him to trace his connections with other First Peoples of the coast. After returning from Vietnam in the early 1970s, he became more involved in the artistic traditions and culture of his home on the coast. He apprenticed under the late Art Thompson for several years. Through Thompson’s connections with other people in Canada, Nytom developed a greater understanding of how the art manifested the teachings of his ancestors. This will be a partnership that, in typically mysterious Supreme fashion, came out of the blue. Flash-forward a few months later after Nytom learned who and what Supreme is, and the collaboration, which will drop sometime in the coming weeks, is already gaining major buzz across streetwear-devoted sites and Supreme superfans alike. In recent years, Supreme has taken to partnering with big institutions,
VOTE: HAZEL
I am running in the 58th General Election. I have already served one year in a bi-election for the 56th Council and three years for the 57th elected council. It is a challenging task to be a councillor as the vast array of topics, situations and political matters are many and require commitment and hard work. I will always be committed.
I was born and raised on Six Nations. My mom was Mohawk and dad was Deleware. I had five sisters and three brothers. I married my husband Ron in 1967. We are the proud parents of our three children and their spouses and grandchildren; Deb and Lyle; Ron and Rhonda and Stu and Lisa. We have 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren as of this date! I attended elementary school at S.S. #5 and Central School in Ohsweken, Ontario. I went to Hagersville High school and Cayuga Secondary in my last year where I received my Grade 12 Diploma. I attended Hamilton Business College in 1981 and graduated with an Honours Certificate in business administration. I have taken many certificate courses throughout my employment years which include York University courses. Artist John Goodwin, of the Makah Tribe, is in collaboration with PHOTO Supreme to release a set of jackets in coming weeks.

whether Louis Vuitton or even New York City MetroCards. Teaming up with an indigenous artist of Nytom’s stature is a timely one. After briefly apprenticing with a woodcarver named Loren White in 1979, and experiencing frustration, Nytom then switched mediums and began engraving precious metals, such as silver. By the ’80s, he also began pulling limited-edition giclée prints and screen-printing them onto clothing, which was one of his first forays into the world of fashion. More recently, he has created masks for his community’s ceremonial dances, as well as focused on graphic artworks, which are available on his site, that tell the history of his people and celebrate community milestones and events. For his new Supreme collaboration, Nytom revived clothing designs from his archive by printing them onto Supreme’s
bomber jackets. The prints incorporate a traditional element from the Haida people—a tribe that, like the Makah, also come from the Pacific Northwest Coast. The images he sed show power and connect directly to the stories and songs of his culture. Given that Supreme reached out with the specific request to revive his jackets that they found on eBay, Nytom didn’t see the collaboration as them “copying” his pieces, but rather an opportunity to bring them back to the masses to be enjoyed again. And culture is indeed at the heart of Goodwin’s work. It is, after all, the reason he still creates. He added that he hopes the Supreme collection will inspire other mainstream fashion labels to include and engage with Native artists rather than simply appropriating their work, which is, unfortunately, still often the case.

JOHNSON ✔
I have worked in various administrative capacities: Department of Indian Affairs in Brantford Ontario; Indian Affairs’ Regional Office in Toronto; Employment Office (now Service Canada) in Brantford Ontario; Lady Willingdon Hospital in Ohsweken, Ontario; Six Nations Council in November, 1982 until February, 2013 which was a total of 30 years with the Six Nations Council. During this 30 year period I gained much experience in various areas as secretary/bookkeeper for the RRAP Housing Program; Lands and Resources Researcher and Bookkeeper; Financial Clerk in the Finance Department; Payroll Clerk and then in 1991 became the Personnel Manager with a mandate to set up a fully functioning Human Resource Department. This was completed in 1995 and I became the Director of the Human Resources up until I left the position in February, 2013. This background provided me with the knowledge and experience of the organizational administrative matters and the political components of the operation, business associates and government agencies. I would like to address the following: Six Nations of the Grand River’s strength lies within the unity of SNEC and HCC councils. I will always support joint efforts and endeavours that will bring our entire community together as one strong unified government.
1 2
Six Nations of the Grand River is not a Municipality. Our funding comes from the Federal and Provincial Governments and our own self source generated funding. A municipality is managed and funded by the government with property tax funding and we do not pay property tax. The Carbon Tax that has been added to our gas bills is being challenged similar to the HST challenge that occurred in previous Councils. The Indian Act indicates that we are tax exempt and I believe that the word “tax” has been dissected into so many tax types by the government. We need to meet with the Minister of Finance and challenge all taxes, including hidden taxes and clearly state that the Indian Act does not dissect the word tax into so many varying types of tax but clearly states Tax Exempt. Canada was built on First Nation’s Resources such as hydro, water, forestry, mining etc., and still try to get tax dollars in any shape or form.
3
I support the Six Nations Farmer’s Association who are striving to revitalize the strength and knowledge that farming plays for every Six Nations Member. We all eat and it is vital that this type of career continues to feed our communities and the world. Crop farming provides all the grains necessary for the breads, cereals etc. Dairy farming provides all the products that we each need daily; milk, cream, butter, cheese etc. The Six Nations Farmer’s Association has developed a strategic plan going forward into the future and thereby reinforce the role of agriculture as a needed sustainable economic and cultural force in the Six Nations Community. There actually needs to be a farm sector as a part of our community.
4
An Educational Life Long Learning development for Six Nations is currently being researched and analyzed to potentially serve as the education model for our Six Nations children and to provide them with a standard of excellence that they need and deserve. This will not be as per Indian Affairs guidelines, but will be Six Nations of the Grand River’s own development and standards that captures all Language and Cultural aspects that were denied to our people on Six Nations. This will require a huge funding commitment from the Federal Government that covers all costs for us to run a Cadillac education system on Six Nations of the Grand River. The Life Long Learning Task Force includes all aspects of education and those who currently work in all educational areas in our community. This is currently in a draft form and the final decision will be made by the community as a whole.
5
I fully support the School Project to build a school for Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Private School. This is literally an emergency situation to get them a school as they are currently attending school in the ILA arena. This school provides students with a Rotinonhsion:ni/Hodinohso:ni culture based education in both Cayuga & Mohawk languages. The goal of getting a new school, which is the only full Immersion school in the community and teaches the language and culture from Kindergarten to grade 7, and half time from grade 8 to grade 12. These children and teachers need their own dedicated environment to learn and flourish as they obtain and meet the criteria to obtain an Ontario Education Certificate.
6
I want to challenge Service Canada for denying all First Nation employees who worked on Reserve to participate in the Canada Pension Program when it began and provide a retirement pension upon retirement. However all school teachers who taught on reserve were allowed. Further Six Nation Council employees are not paid consistently with rates that Indian Affairs pay their employees. This is prejudicial toward our employees. The Six Nations Council needs to take a strong stand and demand equality and this will assist and promote employment standards that will support our new graduates returning home to work for their community. If you feel that I possess the qualities necessary to be a Councillor who will help to better our community, then I would appreciate your vote on Saturday November 2nd, 2019 (ADVANCE POLL) at the Six Nations Community Hall, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and/or on Saturday November 9th, 2019 (GENERAL ELECTION DAY) at the Six Nations Community Hall between the hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men”. – Gandhi
